>> she is absolutely heroic. the idea of being transparent and vulnerable and talking about her personal decision to educate others is so powerful. the last time she did it two years ago about her mastectomy thousands of women went for testing. she has a faulty gene called brca 1 meaning her risk is higher than others. she has three family members that died of cancer. so they took out her fallopian tubes and ovaries. it was a same day procedure in and out of the hospital in the same day. now she is without the hormone producng ovaries so menopause was induced about a decade earlier. >> her mother died of ovarian cancer at age 49. she is 39 years old. she said the effects -- the surgery of the mastectomy was tougher. she said she is in menopause now. >> so the ovary makes estrogen and dozens of other hormones. we can give back some of those to minimize. taking away those hormones effects risk for heart disease, bone disease and clearly hot flashes and other symptoms happen. it's a major change but preventing cancer so she can play with her children and grandchildren was paramount in her decision. >> how much will this procedure reduce her risk of getting cancer now? is she clearly home free? >> there is ovarian tissue not just in the ovary. it is a dramatic reduction as is taking the breasts out dramatic redekz of breast cancer and ovarian cancer but not to zero. she will continue to be followed closely. this was a major step. i just have to applaud her for being so vulnerable and helping thousands of women with her own suffering. >> thanks. this morning the official republican presidential campaign is still a one-man race. texas senator ted cruz became the first to declare on monday. we will hear from senator cruz here in a moment. first nancy cordes has reaction. >> if cruz got an advantage by jumping in first his would-be opponents won't admit it. >> we are pretty close to a decision. kentucky senator rand paul argued if he runs he can beat hillary clinton as cruz can't. >> ted cruz is a conservative but goes to winnability. >> new jersey governor chris christie down played cruz's influence, too, on his monthly ask the governor radio show. >> ted cruz announced he is running for the nomination. is that a factor in your decision at all? >> no. >> i am running for president of the united states. >> reporter: cruz announced his candacy monday. he said he would end obamacare and abolish the irs replacing it with a flat income tax. later he says the obama white house projected an image of weakness around the world. >> the consistent pattern of the obama foreign policy has been abandoning friends and allies. and coddling and appeasing our enemies. >> reporter: announcing early means more attention but that can cut both ways. >> this is what i find interesting about ted cruz. he was born in canada. his father fled from the united states from cuba yet ted cruz is against immigration. >> reporter: as republicans jockey for position clinton to rebound from e-mail controversy. >> i am all about new beginnings, a new grand child, another new hair style, a new e-mail account. why not a new relationship with the press? >> reporter: cruz may have been the first to announce but he won't be alone for long. we have gotten signals that rand paul marco rubio and clinton could announce intentions in the next couple of weeks. >> senator ted cruz of texas joins us. are you the most conservative candidate in the republican field? >> well right now i'm the only announced candidate in the republican field so it's sort of like what my mom would say i'm her only child and she tells me i am her favorite son. >> is that your plan to be the most conservative? >> my plan is to speak the truth. i think millions of americans recognize the path we are on isn't working and they are looking for a change that they want to get back to the free market principles and constitutional liberties the country was built on. >> such an interesting response because your supporters would think ted cruz should come here and say yes i would be most conservative. >> the basic values are common sense conservative values. live within your means. follow the constitution. it's only in washington that those are viewed as radical or extreme propositions. most of america you get people republicans, democrats, independents, libitarians who say that makes common sense. >> you say if you are elected you would repeal the affordable care act but since its passing 16 million people have become insured. would you take that away from them? >> those numbers don't tell the picture. the bulk of those numbers are coming from expanded medicaid. a lot of people on medicaid are not getting health care. it is a system already overburdened and more and more people are getting waiting list and not getting health care. 6 million people had their health insurance cancelled because of obamacare. you are not doing someone a favor if you cancel the health insurance they like and force them to buy new health insurance at higher premiums that covers less. i can tell you people are frustrated. five years ago maybe good faith reasonable minds could have differed on whether obamacare could have worked. at this point it is the single largest job killer in this country. >> can i ask you about news in the headline. we know isis has posted the names of 100 service members. should we have boots on the ground in syria and iraq? >> we need seriousness to destroy isis and we need to do whatever it takes militarily to accomplish that. >> that includes boots on the ground. >> this should be a military question. what is necessary to defeat isis. we have boots on the ground with the kurds. america has not been terribly consistent allies to the kurds they have stood with us. isis is using american military equipment that they seized in iraq and the kurds don't have the weaponry. unfortunately, the administration is sending weapons to baghdad. i think the kurds could be our boots on the ground and use overwhelming air power. >> let me ask you about syrian president bashar al assad is it more important to remove him or isis? >> i think isis is a far bigger threat. >> leave assad in power and take on isis first? >> the touch stone for our foreign policy should be vital u.s. national security interests. assad is a monster. he is murdering his own people. i don't believe he poses a clear and present danger to america. >> assad does not? >> assad does not. >> you should be elected for president because? >> because i will tell the truth and do what i said i will do. >> we shall see. senator cruz thank you very much. >> thank you very much sir. u.s. officials say the counter terrorism strategy in yemen has all but collapsed. operations are being scaled back amid growing violence. officials fear instability will allow extremist groups to expand. u.s. with drew the last of military personnel from yemen over the weekend. we expect more testimony from a terrorism expert. yesterday prosecutors argued that dzhokhar tsarnaev was heavily influenced by al qaeda literature and lectures and presented text messages from his phone after he was named a suspect. a friend asks you saw the news?

"rolling stone" has launched its own internal audit into the article and it is said to be released early next month. this morning critics call james cordenhilarious, witty and inspired. omar villafranca shows the new style of entertainment. >> reporter: the opening of the curtains kicked off a new era. >> however shocked you are that i am doing this job you will never be as shocked as i am. >> reporter: he ditched the desk, a late night staple to get up close and personal with his first guests. he asked about her rumored marriage to ashton kutcher. there were surprise guests including jay leno who helped prepare for the show. >> are you bragging or rushing? >> you don't look like a talk show host. >> pull it together and take the applause. >> reporter: from a fully stocked bar to pretaped sketches he showed he is not afraid to mix it up in the late late time slot and plans to take guests along for the ride. they teamed up for a sketch reenacting scenes from hank's movie. >> no crying in baseball. don't cry. >> reporter: at 36 corden is the youngest late night host on a major network. >> the worst thing that would happen is that it becomes predictable. >> reporter: and is ready to send late night audiences to bed on a high note. ♪ for the late late show with me and you ♪ >> reporter: for "cbs this morning." >> he is off to a great, great start. one paper described him as horrendously charming. >> great show. we are dvr girls. now to the story critics blast the cowboys decision to sign an all pro lineman. cacan. bed far i can. this national weather report sponsored by aarp, real possibilities. we are gathering new information on the breaking news on the crash of a passenger plane in europe. >> the news is back in the morning here on "cbs this morning." this portion of "cbs this morning" sponsored by -- if you can clear a table without lifting a finger... you may be muddling through allergies. try zyrtec® for powerful allergy relief. and zyrtec® is different than claritin. because it starts working faster on the first day you take it. zyrtec®. muddle no more™. i've smoked a lot and quit a lot, but ended up nowhere. now i use this. the nicoderm cq patch, with unique extended release technology helps prevent the urge to smoke all day. i want this time to be my last time. that's why i choose nicoderm cq. they became the generation that brought us tweets and eco-friendly cars. but first they were flinstones kids. today's flinstones have come a long way too. with the latest recommended level of vitamin d to support bone health.

we have been telling you about. the german airliner goes down in the alps more than a mile above sea level. here is a look at today's eye opener. the airbus crashed in southern france. france's president just said he doesn't expect there will be survivors. >> sighted the wreckage from the air it could take a day and a half to get there. the last time she did it two years ago thousands of women went for testing and many lives were saved. are you the most conservative candidate in the republican field? >> right now i'm the only announced candidate. >> you say if you are elected you would repeal the affordable care act. >> at this point it is single largest job killer in the country. >> they said they couldn't corroborate the details. >> critics call james corden hilarious, witty and inspired. >> in three months this show will be mine. david copperfield accidently flooded his apartment building after his private pool emptied into the unit below. then copperfield said ta-da! i'm gayle king with norah o'donnell. charlie rose is on assignment. france's president said it appears there are no survivors from a plane crash this morning in the alps. the airbus a 320 was headed from barcelona, spain to dusseldorf germany. >> the details are trickling in. the plane was an airbus 320 which is one of the workhorses of the range. it crashed in the southern french alps. it was on its way from spain to germany with 142 passengers on board, two pilots, as well, and four crew. french president francois hollande gave a press conference shortly after saying he didn't expect there would be survivors. the plane was almost 25 years old. it belonged to german wings, a budget subsidiary of the main german airline which has an excellent safety record. the plane did send a distress call just before 6:00 eastern time but didn't include any information about what was going on what the problem was. flight tracking shows that the plane had been flying normally but suddenly began a dramatic descent from 40,000 feet to about 6,000 in ten minutes and shortly afterward it crashed. there was no bad weather reported in the area. it is going to be difficult and time consuming to get to the wreckage which has been spotted from the air. a french government spokesman predicts a long and difficult search process because the crash happened in such a remote area. talking with aviation officials. >> reporter: part of the problem is going to be getting to the crash scene. it's in the french alps. they will have issues getting to the crash scene there. in terms of the investigation it is still early and the focus is on the people who were on that plane and whether there are survivor survivors. of course, french officials at this point do not believe there are survivors. the question is are there issues on the ground in terms of getting to the crash scene? were there homes on the ground that the plane may have crashed into? there are still a lot of questions about the terrain. it is a mountainous region. in terms of who is going to lead this investigation there are very clear rules in aviation in terms of who will lead the investigation. we know that this is happening in france so the french ntsb the french version of the national transportation safety board in this country will lead the investigation there. the germans will be involved because this is a german airline and also airbus will be involved. airbus is a french company. heavily -- french will be heavily involved in this investigation as will the germans as it progresses. >> we know that german wings is a budget airline, what can you tell us about their safety record? >> there is a big debate not only in europe about the safety record of these budget airlines but also here in the u.s. there is a turf battle going here between legacy airlines american airlines u.s. air, united airlines and some budget carriers based in europe that want to do business here in the u.s. there is a battle going on in terms of the future of aviation not only in europe but also in this country, as well. the pilots union believes that these budget airlines cut corners when it comes to safety. however, there is no evidence of that in this crash right now but there is a major turf battle underway between legacy airlines not only in europe but also here in the u.s. >> we thank you. we will continue to monitor this breaking story. angelina jolie offers a personal diary this morning in her fight against cancer. the actress wrote an op-ed about the decision to remove her ovaries and

more complex than you think. the most e-mailed and viewed article from the times. clinical professor of medicine at the university of california san francisco. your article certainly struck accord. it is so confusing, i go round and round and round. one day you hear high protein is good. you are saying what today? >> it's not even low fat versus low carbs. there are good carbs and bad carbs. the animal protein itself seems to make a big difference. more animal proteins the more likely you are to get sick from all kinds of different things. >> you are saying there is a difference between weight control and having a healthy heart which is what you specialize in. >> you can lose weight on these high animal protein type diets but you are mortgaging your health in the process. >> it sure tastes better. you have to go back to the taste for me. i understand the diet you are talking about. isn't it hard to follow? >> let me finish the point here because on the graphic they have it. what happens in your arteries on the different diets. on the left is what happens on the plant based diet. fruits vegetables. your arteries are clean. in the middle of the typical american diet. on the right it is what happens when you eat proteins. arteries are more clogged. it is not reflected in your weight and cholesterol levels. really haven't looked at the arteries themselves. when you do that you find that eating a high animal protein diet you are mortgaging your health. >> let me just say the studies that you cite are alarming. heavy consumption may double the risk of alzheimer's. a 75% increase in premature deaths from all causes. >> and 400% increase from diabetes and cancer. >> to gayle's question because i know people who lost weight by high protein diet and lots of vegetables what do you recommend if you want to feel full and reduce your calories? >> you want to lose weight in a way that enhances your health and not mortgages. so you can lose weight on a high animal protein diet but you are harming your heart and increasing your risk of cancer diabetes and all kinds of things. to the degree there is the ounce of prevention and pound of cure. you are trying to reverse disease you have to make bigger changes. >> high protein is okay. it's high protein animal proteins that you are worried about. >> plenty of protein and soy products. on the rice and beans you get all the protein you need but not the bad stuff that makes you sick. >> u.s. news and world report rated number one for heart health. it's really hard to stick to what you are suggesting. don't you think it is easier to just lower your caloric intake? >> if you are trying to reverse disease even lengthen into our chromosomes. that is the reversal program. for most people you have a spectrum of choices. what matters most is overall. if you indulge one day doesn't mean you cheated. just eat healthier the next. you don't have time to meditate for an hour do it for a minute. >> isn't it true it's not all or nothing. everybody has to figure out a program that works for them. it isn't one size fits all. >> i wrote a book called "the spectrum." we have been training hospitals around the country medicare is covering our program. we are getting 85% to 90% adherence to the program. even for the most intensive version of the reversal diet. most people have given proper support are able to do it. >> there is a new book why butter meat and cheese belong in a healthy diet. i thought they are writing that for me. >> telling people what they want to hear is a great way to sell books. >> i love that you say can help control aging. >> we did a study for discovering chromosomes to control how long we live. we can lengthen them. it's the same that does all of these -- >> thank you so much. appreciate it. >> great to see you again. sea world hopes the new ad campaign will help theme park stay afloat. how it is helping employees counter claims about the treatment of animals.

how the game is trying to inspire a new generation of players. >> time to show you headlines. the washington post says america has fallen out of love with diet soda. sales of low calorie soda fell 20% and on track to drop another 5%. there were declines in diet soda sales in the past. this may be permanent because americans were drinking less soda in general and a growing mistrust of artificial sweeteners. business insider says some students at liberty university. cruz spoke to a packed house in virginia but turned out this attendance was mandatory. during the speech the students posts comments on the anonymous app. it looks like he has an audience of 10,000 young adult supporters. they don't know he has to be here. >> good to know. >> "wall street journal" looks at why couples fight. according to researchers it is because they remember events differently. >> tend to remember more about relationship issues than men do but don't remember them accurately. experts say moods and emotion effect memory. >> i am surprised by how two people can be at the same conversation and have two different points of view. >> talk to my girlfriend she knows. >> the new york daily news reports on controversy over 5-year-old girl giving makeup tips. dana gomez does tutorial videos in spanish. one says this is the cutest thing ever. the girl's aunt said she is just playing. >> too young for makeup. the "new york times" covers slow moving lava in hawaii. no need for residents to move from the lava. the paper compared it to a disaster movie playing in slow motion. lava has not reached most of the town and local grocery store reopened there. bubba watson and kelly xu have a surprising thing in common. they are both defending master's champions. watson won in 2012 and again last year known for extraordinary shot making and colorful personality. and now he is teaming up with pga of america to inspire the next generation of golf players. boys and girls between 7 and 15 compete to earn a spot. kelly won her age group to become one of the first winners. >> are you aware that you are the first female champion at augusta national? >> yes. >> all right. both head back to the masters to defend their titles in less than two weeks. good morning. >> good morning. >> they didn't give you a little green jacket? >> no. >> maybe next time. it's really a treat to have both of you here. bubba i want to talk about the masters. you are the defending champ. added pressure? >> always added pressure. you want to put the green jacket on again. there is always pressure you add to yourself. the outside world is always going to have its own arguments and displeasures frmpt me it is all about myself. i want to perform at a high level. >> how do you feel your game has been this year? >> i had to take off last week because of a death of a friend. i'm looking forward to the challenges. i'm looking forward to getting back to practice and focusing on competing at the high level at a beautiful golf course. >> i hear the secret is a burrito. you eat a burrito, too? >> sometimes. >> what is the secret of the brute burrito? >> in 2012 my wife wasn't there. i can eat the same thing every day. i eat a burrito every day and sometimes two burritos. and then in '13 she comes with caleb and says we can't eat the same thing every day. in '14 she goes fine. and then i think it is the burritos. >> what's in it? >> i'm very plain. chicken, black beans, rice cheese and that's it. >> it is kind of a perfect combination. >> tell us how you got hooked on this game. did you see somebody playing it? did your parents play it? what did you see about this game? >> my parents, my mom, she said let's go take her to summer camp and see how she likes this. she took me there to this little golf course. >> the first time you held a club did you like it right away? >> it was like softer than i thought. it was like am i going to be reaching a stick or something? so i fell in love with it and i saw everyone. i made a lot of friends that day. and i said to myself if this is how it is going to be if i play golf then why not? so i'm still playing until now. >> that's how you got involved sort of when you saw -- tell us how you got involved with the organization that you are working on together. >> so we heard about this for over a year so it started in '13 and talked about this and announced this event. so it came on last year during the masters, the day before the start. watching this on tv watching these kids. it was inspiring. we are supposed to be inspiring the kids but the kids are inspiring me. i am looking at the son who is 2 years old and my wife. i went out there and started shaking hands and talking to kids and inspired me. it made me think of a kid again where i was so focused on just having fun and playing golf instead of the drive of a job. >> i think this is so important because if you look at the numbers golf participation among milineals that age is way down like people don't have the time to play golf anymore. golf is sort of a dying sport in some ways. >> if you look at it i see that there is a lot of factors involved. one of the factors is so many video games and people are not getting outside of the house. a lot of people are having jobs and working nonstop to support families. so for me my dad didn't let me have video games. my dad wanted to play. my mom didn't play but it was all about family going outside and spending time together. i think that is what this organization is doing now is bringing the family back to the game of golf and enjoying it. that is what augusta has done and organizations have done. >> i love that. i think that is so true. >> you met the former secretary of state condoleeza rice. she is one of the three female members of augusta. you want to play with her, right? why would you want to play with her? not that it is bad. >> she is a very good role model. she is not a bad golfer. and i think it would be like she is very nice and supportive of junior golfers. that's just like right now golf is really just like so many video games everyone is looking at their phone. >> who are your golfer idols? >> bubba. >> and martin. >> tiger woods, can we talk about him. do you think he is coming? >> if i had to bet i would say yes. >> we are making you bet. >> i would say yes because it's the greatest championship we have all year. if he is not injured how would he miss it? i think he is taking time off and getting excited about it. i take two weeks off before the masters. this year i had to take off three. i want to get excited about it. i want to be like her and get there and get excited about it and fight for that green jacket again. >> i remember you were waiting for caleb to come and so psyched in the green room. now you have had a little girl, too. the name is? >> dakota. >> now you have wife. >> a, b, c, d. >> e is coming up next. just throwing it out there. >> we will be watching and wish you the best. you going back for round two? >> yes. >> all right. >> and your sister too. >> yes. >> cheering you guys on. >> tradition unlike any other. bubba watson and kelly xu. cbs sports coverage of the masters begins saturday april 11. you meet the broadway actress whose dressing room is a cage. >> you are not the only one having your morning coffee right now. this is toby

the guy who puts the whole unit. it's called man spreading. >> this is the first time. >> that was in the papers and i was accused of man spreading because it looks as though i am taking up two seats. internet, you idiot the train was half empty. there was -- >> plenty of room. >> tom hanks cleared that up. he would never do man spreading. >> you did a story on our piece on man spreading. >> you have a dude sitting on the subway. one guy says because we have a lot of things going on there. >> don't show the whole thing. >> james corden we are cheering you on. we invite you to watch tonight here on cbs. tonight his guests include patricia arquette and the group modest mouse. w.c. fields famously said never work with children and animals. jamie wax chose us how broadway is making room for a very new star. >> what do you do when you are creating the stage version of a best selling novel where a central relationship is between a boy and his pet rat? you call a top animal trainer, of course. >> they have a rat problem down at the theater, but not the kind that requires an exterminator. this rat problem is different. >> toby the rat is a diva a four legged actress with a pension for having things her own way. >> toby is the rodent star of the hit broadway play the curious incident of the dog in the nighttime. toby plays the pet rat to an autistic boy. alex sharp is christopher. >> special relationship between yourself and toby? >> starting to love each other a little bit more. >> few critters in the mova all the time whether a dog like marly, babe the pig or willie the orca. too many to count. on broadway musical "annie" is probably the most famous. but on the stage unlike in films there are no retakes and animals have one shot a night to get it right. >> so imagine training to keep composure amid chaos in a show like you can't take it with you. in this case kitten training involves exposing to loud sounds and tracing them about until they are used to almost anything. the regimen is designed by animal trainer who also happens to train toby the rat. >> does toby ever have a bad day where she is moody and doesn't want to come out? >> yes. >> what do you do? the girl scout cookie. >> to get toby ready for performance takes her on back stage tours to help her get acclimated. >> i know you go running around the room. >> she is working on finding a suitable under study. >> would you say rats are the biggest challenge of your career? >> the biggest challenge was overcoming my fear of rats. now it is so exciting because i am not afraid of them anymore. >> she says she really understands rats. you might call her a rat whisperer. >> how much repetition does that relationship take? >> less about rats and more about listening to the animal and not pushing them too far like knowing when to challenge them and knowing when to pull back. >> so toby spends most of her stage time in a cage. her big moment comes in act two when the cage is opened. it says she does the trick eight times out of ten. when our cameras were rolling toby decided a kiss was not in the cards. >> it's a live animal. you can't say this is your cue. they don't care. >> that unpredictability of abilityability of animal on stage. >> because they are completely in the moment. there is nothing about them. that's what we strive for. >> and sometimes it takes a rat to help you get there. >> i knew it wasn't about the art. >> despite the search for worthy under study toby has done every performance of the show. it's very powerful. a lot of brilliant things in there about autism. >> toby is very cute. >> i understand. it's early for a rat. >> thank you. >> you are watching "cbs this morning." good morning. >> we want you to make sure you tune into ththe evening news dave: the effect that standardized testing is having on our students is already coming through, it's already showing, and they haven't even taken the test yet. my first-grader came home the other
