admits her son is sick in the head "early" this monday morning, june 21, 2010. captioning funded by cbs gorgeous summer morning this morning. good morning everybody. i'm harry smith. >> i'm erica hill. good to be with you this morning. we have updates on joran van der sloot, apparently now recanting the confession, that in an interview with a dutch newspaper in his jail cell. and his mother coming out saying she minsk he may have some issues and she does not want to go see him. she says she can't embrace him. >> we'll have all the details coming your way in a little bit. first, it is day 63 of the disaster in the gulf. here's the latest. an internal memo from bp says in a worst case scenario as many as 100,000 barrels, that's 4.2 million gallons a day, could be leaking into the gulf. when the disaster first happened, bp estimated it was only about 5,000 barrels a day. bp has a new front man to clean up its image, american bob dudley, the company's managing director, will take over for embattled brit irish ceo tony hayward. bp says it has spent $2 billion responding to the massive spill. we'll have more from katie couric, who is in van isenice, louisiana, with the very latest. good morning. >> reporter: good morning to you. as you said it is day63. some progress is being made. there are some glimmers of hope. progress is being made in one of those two relief wells that is being implemented three miles below the surface that will plug this leak or at least they hope so. some 4,600 vessels are being used right now. when you think of d-day using 5,000 boats, you can understand that's a very significant showing. but some bad news shifting currents is starting to move. i guess it's good news for louisiana. but shifting currents are now sort of making the oil going towards alabama and florida. it's moving it in a north by northeast pattern. meanwhile, mark strassmann has been covering this story from almost day one. he joins me now. mark let's talk a little about this transfer of power from tony hayward, the ceo, to bob dudley. this bp claims was something they had in mind all the time but the image of tony hayward participating in that yacht race over the weekend probably hurt his image even more as if that's possible. >> if that's possible katie. let's face it. there are 32,000 people working on this relief effort and sometimes you think the focus -- there's only one guy, that's tony hayward. bp clearly i think had a sense this guy had to be moved off center stage so the focus could be the other 32,000 folks out here doing it. and the hope, i guess, is that dudley will be both a fresh face and a fresh start. as bp tries to get a handle on this epic disaster. >> he's from mississippi, a pretty short drive from the coast, so he is a son of the gulf. it took him some time to go out and see this disaster, some seven week, right, mark? >> it wasn't seven, more like five or six. i was actually with him that day. he went with governor bobby jindal here to barrier island. it was the first time he got oil on his pants, shoes, and to a lot of people it was almost unthinkable. yet this was the first time that here's a very senior bp guy, he had seen it from a big picture but actually got the oil on his clothes. and so he's going to probably have a little credibility issue here, too. he's going to have to work to earn that credibility in the eyes of so many folks, even though he is from this part of the world. >> meanwhile, you got a close-up look of some of the many challenges bp faces. >> it's such a daunting task. there's so much oil spread over a vast area here. you really get the best sense of that on the fight's front lines. >> this is oil coming up from 5,000 feet. >> reporter: out in the gulf, doug subtlettles reviewed. bp's chief operating officer coordinating 4600 ships battling america's worst oil leak in history. on this four-hour aerial tour suttles took us to this floating city surrounded by thick oil that runs for miles. bp's broken well head gushes here 24/7. many response workers call this spot, ground zero. >> cue have imagined three months ago you'd be looking at a scene like this and, i've got to fix this? >> absolutely not. this is something you never ever wanted to see. >> reporter: suttles, like everyone working for bp is also fighting a stain of more bad publicity this week en. this photograph shows tony hayward yachting in england, an ocean away from the calamity in the gulf. >> i thought that was the height of stupidity. i believe myself that he should go. >> reporter: this internal bp document estimated the daily spill worst case could be 100,000 barrels, that's 100 times bp's original estimate. >> you also understand the drip drip, drip of information, where the estimate keeps getting worse, frustrates and angers so many people. >> right. well, it's so difficult. i mean i think that you know everyone wants to know how much oil's coming out of that well. but even the best scientists the government could put together continually are reviseing their estimate. >> reporter: more frustration. the bp claims process for victims. in orange beach, alabama, suttles visited a claims center but many victims who did apply complain about bp's excessive paperwork and underwhelming compensation. the company has paid out $105 million, but like many unpaid victims, jacob nichols wants his. he's a deck hand on a charter boat. >> this is the fourth time i've been in here. >> reporter: bp says the average individual claim takes only five days to process. the average business day, eight. but so many people in the oil zone are so furious with the application process. and even the white house has told bp it has to do better. more victims will come forward as long as the oil leaks. the earliest permanent plug from a relief well isn't possible until august. >> i want to get out there one day when there sin oil out there, that we've got this thing shut off. >> that first relief well has to drill 18,000 feet. that's more than three miles below the surface of the gulf. it's now at about 16,000 feet, close, katie, but not close enough to plug the leak and this streding disaster. >> mark strassmann, thanks. we'll see you tonight on the billy nungesser, president of plaquemine parish in venice. tell me what is your reaction to the fact these internal documents show in a worst case scenario 10 0,000 barrels a day 4.2 million gallons. bp is now sort of saying that's not really true, these numbers aren't accurate, that's not going to happen, it's irrelevant. what did you think when you heard that? >> i was sadly disappointed. had bp been unp front from day one, we could have been better prepared, known this was coming ashore when we were told it wasn't coming ashore. we could have known what we were dealing with. unfortunately we're behind the eight ball trying to keep this out of our marshlands. it's a fight every day, a battle we're slowly losing. >> what do you think of this transition to power, to bob dudley, who's from hattiesburg. he'll be the new point person. it's unclear if this was expedited by tony hayward's participation in that yacht race, but do you think it's time for someone else to sort of be in charge here? >> absolutely. you know we knew we didn't have the right man just by the comments he made the sense of urgency, and hopefully things will change in the next week or so. we've got to see some sense of urgency in getting this oil picked up quickly. >> i know that over the weekend you and some of your crews, personal crews, i guess, or parish crews, came out and there was a stand-down. there weren't any workers keeping the oil off the marshes or the shore line. what was the explanation for that? >> they told me yesterday there was a meteorologist that said it was bad weather. well, there's bad day in south louisiana. if you don't like the weather wait 15 minutes, it will change. but you have to strategically be out there, picking up the oil. if bad weather sets in that's why we called for the jack-up boats early on. you have to have somewhere on the front line out there where they can take shelter away from lightning, but get right back to work. we're losing days. we're losing this war by standing down because a meteorologist somewhere says hey, it's bad weather. >> let me ask you a question that nobody seems to be able to answer. 17,500 national guardsmen, billy, as you know, were tloer authorized, and yet something like 6500 has been utilized. that seems like a lot of man power put to waste. why won't the governors call them up? >> there's only so much you can do here. you have to have vuflessels skimmers vacuum equipment. >> couldn't they be out laying boom out in the -- >> if we had vessels. what i've seen our governor do is drop sandbags put berms along the shore line. we don't have a lot of beaches. the ones out there are being worked on, dredges are building those beaches. when they're complete, we'll able to put a lot more bodies out there to pick up that oil. we need strategic teams in the marsh, picking up this oil before the birds have a chance to dive in it and save a lot more wildlife. and we're just not managing it in small teams at this point. we really need that management level to be divided by certain areas and strike teams to respond immediately, not days hours after the oil hits. >> billy nungesser, great to see you. thanks. harry, back to you. >> katie, thank you very very much. katie will have more tonight on the "cbs evening news." erica? >> thanks. joining me now for the raging wildfires in arizona prompts to be another tough day for firefighters as strong winds could move the fast-moving blazes. elizabeth erwin from kpho-tv in phoenix. >> reporter: if you take a look behind me you might think this blaze is under control. to give you an idea how big this is the fire line itself is eight miles long. so, you can see why so many people were told to pack up and get out. thick plumes of smoke hovered above as high winds fanned the second major fire in just two days near flagstaff, arizona. >> mandatory evacuation now. >> reporter: law enforcement officials went door to door advising homeowners to evacuate. the raging wildfire forced about 1,000 people to flee with whatever they could fit into their cars. >> it's unreal. i can't believe it. i never seen anything like this in my life. how high those smoke clouds are. it's bad. >> reporter: the sunday morning blaze has grown quickly scorching at least 5,000 acres and counting. throughout the day 300 firefighters helicopters and air tankers fought back flames moving towards residential areas. >> this is one of those fires that just the wrong place, the wrong time on the wrong day. >> reporter: in southwest flagstaff, firefighters are having more success. investigators say the first of two wildfires in that area was allegedly sparked by a california man camping on saturday. that fire is 30% contained and crews have kept the blaze from nearby homes and structures. so far, structures have remained unharmed here as well. crews working around the clock to make sure it stays that way. back to you in new york. >> elizabeth erwin for us. >> betty nguyen at the news desk. >> good morning. >> good morning to you at home. an american was one of four nato soldiers killed in afghanistan this morning. they died when their helicopter crashed in kandahar province. they say there's no indication of enemy fire. nato is trying to secure kandahar. at least 35 americans have died in afghanistan this month, putting it on track to be one of the deadliest months for u.s. troops in the nine-year war. a subway fire in chicago sent 19 people to the hospital. the fire broke out along the red line tracks yesterday. and the cars of one train filled with smoke. of the 19 passengers hospitalized, five were in serious condition. a section of billings montana, will be declared a disaster area this morning. a powerful tornado tore through the northeast part of the city yesterday afternoon destroying a sports arena. nicky lorenzo of our billings station has the latest. good morning. >> reporter: good morning, betty. we are outside one of the hardest hit areas in billings. residents waking up to quite a mess. rimrock auto arena was one of the hardest hit areas. it's the biggest venue in montana. if anything big comes to montana, it's held here. although the twister caused catastrophic damage officials are happy there was no loss of life. the tornado touched down at about 4:45 sunday afternoon. >> it is destroying the metra. >> reporter: it tore the roof off the rimrook auto park arena. >> these trees were uprooted like little toothpicks. >> reporter: police say the twister hovered over the building for 15 minutes. >> that's where people are supposed to go during a civil defense emergency. >> reporter: 20 people at mcdonald's took shelter in a walk-in freezer as the restaurant's glass front was blown in. a casino a bar and several other small businesses also suffered extensive damage. the tornado was accompanied by 135-mile-an-hour winds. heavy rain and hail the size of a baseball. 2 1/4 inches of rain fell. then as quickly as it came the storm was gone. the sun was out a half hour after the tornado had struck. and this is a piece of the roof here at rimrock auto arena. these were seen up to a mile in the air in the twister. witnesses reported seeing the scattered all over main street here. the only injury that was reported was one man that was hit by baseball-sized hail. luckily, no other injuries and no loss of life. betty, back to you. >> ktvq billings. thank you for is that. a rough week en. here's dave price with a first check of the weather this morning. >> good morning to you betty. happy summer everybody. it all begins at 7:2, in just a little while. in the 7:17. we're getting balloons and music ready for the big celebration of summer coming up 7:28 this morning. join us live for this celebration after the 7:30 half hour. >> balloons?

joran van der sloot reportedly replied, it's not stephany, is it? no, not stephany. i told him, he had to turn himself in. she also claims her son refused treatment in a mental institution in the netherlands before the flores murder. she says quote, my son is sick in the head. legal experts say a confession and surveillance video of flores just before she was murdered will make for a convincing case. >> this case is moving forward. i don't think there's any possibility joran van der sloot will be moved out of peru. i don't think the peruvian authorities will ever let him go. >> van der sloot may be looking at three to six years if the insanity defense works. but if there's evidence suggesting sexual assault, as well as murder he could be facing 35 years behind bars. >> betty, thanks. joining us cbs news legal analyst jack ford. good to have you back with us. let's start off with breaking news that now a dutch newspaper reporting he has said -- he said he was tricked, very scared and confused. doesn't know what he signed. he didn't mean it. >> it's not that simple. you can't simply say, yeah never mind. this doesn't count. >> just throw it out for me would you? >> yeah. it's similar to our system also. basically, if a court takes a look at it and says, we still believe there's legitimacy to what you said then, you might want to disclaim it now, but we believe there's legitimacy to what you said then, testimony of witnesses, whatever, might lend itself to that determination. that confession might still be in play here, all depend on how -- now, he could turn around and argue again, look here's what happened, i was forced into it. it's really not true. i'm a pathological liar i make up things. look what i did in terms of natalee holloway? there could be interesting arguments. just because he says no now doesn't mean it's not in play later down the road. >> we're hearing from his mother who's speaking out and saying he didn't have anything to do with natalee holloway but she thinks he was involved, perhaps, with stephany flores. he says her son has mental health issues. how much do you think is accurate? how much could this be setting up an insanity plea? >> if i'm his lawyer first thing i'm saying to family and friends, if he's indeed confessing to this we need to find something. maybe that insanity defense. what can you tell about him in the distant past recent past. the interesting thing about an insanity defense is just because you're diagnosed with a mental defense defect personality disorder doesn't mean you're criminally insane. there's another big leap that has to be made here. experts might take a look at him and say, yes, he is a pathologic pathologicalpathologic pathological liar, a sociopath but to get to insanity defense, but generally speaking you have to show yes, there is a disease, a defect a personality disorder, and then you have to show because of that you either didn't know what you were doing, classic illustration, you thought you've got a banana in your hand it's a knife and you kill somebody. even if you did know what you were doing, you didn't know it was wrong. we've seen recently the mother of children who kill their children. they know they're killing them but they say, god told me to do it so they think it's the right thing to do. there's much more you need for an insanity defense than just saying there's some sort of personality disorder here. >> tears also coming up i brooef it's going to happen today, he'll be interrogated. so what specifically would they be asking hoping to get out of this? >> this is an illustration where ther procedures are very different from ours. not some core concepts but procedurally. this a judge who's going to question him. in our system you can walk in the courtroom and say to the judge, i'd like to talk. no thanks. there, he has to answer the questions. if he doesn't want to confess, he can or he might say, no i had nothing to do with it. >> is he legally bound to answer them honestly? i know that sounds silly butt there's an oath in the u.s. i take -- >> he's required to answer. whether he answers honestly or not is up to him. if he difz dishonest answer and the prosecution can prove he's lying, that's not going to help him down the road. it is an unusual aspect different from us where you have to get there, the judge will ask questions and you have to answer. >> love to be a fly on the wall for those. here's dave with another check of the weather. >> let's go to the maps. we'll go out to the pacific northwest at this point. head out to the areas where you can see we have rain rolling on through. as you head to the areas of the 7:38. that's a quick look at your weather picture. >> beautifully done. up next do you hate it when you find out you've been charged just to talk to a company representative on the phone? we're going to tell you how to avoid those pesky and expensive hidden fees when we come back. we're part of nature, and as we destroy nature we destroy ourselves. it's a selfish thing to want to protect nature. i never intended to be a businessman. we made the world's best climbing equipment out of here. we realized that putting in and taking out of all these pitons was causing damage to the rock. so, i made these little soft aluminum chalks that you just put in with your fingers. and i'm a dam buster. we've been working for years to take this dam out. the reservoir behind it is only 4 feet deep-- the water gets real warm kills a lot of the life in the river. when you take out a dam, that's a real victory. i mean, a concrete victory so to speak! when i get an idea to do something, i like to take the first step. if that feels good i take another step. to do good, you actually have to do something. no matter what you want to do members project from american express can help you take the first step. vote, volunteer or donate at membersproject.com. ♪ ♪ ♪ oh, love me ♪ ♪ oh oh oh ♪ ♪ just love me ♪ ♪ oh oh oh ♪ ♪ just hold me ♪ ♪ oh oh oh ♪ ♪ just kiss me ♪ ♪ oh oh oh ♪ ♪ just want me ♪ ♪ l-o-v-e ♪ ♪ love, love, love, love ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ l-o-v-e ♪ ♪ love, love, love, love ♪ [ female announcer ] in a national blind test fresh out of the washer, women preferred the softness and scent of concentrated snuggle blue sparkle to the leading brand. and snuggle costs less, too. so go on, buy snuggle today.

a day, could be leaking into the gulf if in-f a key piece of equipment is removed. when the disaster first happened bp estimated it would only be 5,000 barrels a day. bp has a new front man on the clean-up image. american bob dudley the company's managing director, will soon take over for embattled british ceo tony hayward. bp says it now has spent $2 billion responding to the massive spill. meanwhile, the leak is having a growing impact on tourism in the gulf. cbs news correspondent cynthia bowers is in destin, florida, with more. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. just a few feet behind me you can see some of the thousands feet of boom being laid across the florida panhandle this morning in an effort to restore popular tourist areas. over the weekend coin-sized tar balls showed up at north walton beach, destin and as far south as panama city where the coast guard says there's an oil slick less than ten miles offshore. what will happen with that will be dependent on rain and weather. officials in the state say they're fighting a two-headed monster, a possible ecological disaster and what they fear is almost a certain economic one. visit florida is running ads promoting clear beaches and clean water. floridalive.com is running live web cam video of beaches to show tourists they're largely pristine. with 770 miles of the 1600-plus miles of coastline along

child is putting all their eggs in one basket, so to speak, and you suddenly don't have anyone to turn to if that friendship falls apart, which it might, because they're kids. >> so should having one best friend be discouraged? >> i could see both sides of the argument, but there's definitely positives to encourage your children to foster strong relationships from a young age, but there are some mean little girls out there, so i guess it's a good reason to discourage your child from having one best friend. >> joining us child psychologist, and "early show" contributor, dr. hartstein. good morning. >> good morning. >> is this a bad thing to have just one best friend? >> it's hard to tell. it's an interesting question. it does potentially prevent there from being the friendship heartbreak, the eggs in one basket issue where we have to worry whether or not that friendship breaks up how does your kid recover? it is an interesting point. >> there's also the point that, hey, if you encourage your kids to have more friends it might open them up to hanging out with kids from different backgrounds, opening, broaden their mind a little bit. >> it may allow them to see the differences in other kids which is something we really want all of our children to be able to do. there is potential for them being able to accept differences on a much greater scale if we start that earlier. >> of course you want to protect your child from heart break but let's be realistic, we were teenage girls once. unfortunately, teenage girls are meep. it doesn't just have to be one girl, it can be a group of mean. are you helping them by shelter them what is sadly a reality of life? >> quee question. how do you know what a bad friend is if you've never had a bad friend? can we protect them from learning who they really like and who they gravitate to? in a group you'll have kids that will separate themselves. we have to be ready for that in our children. >> also f your kid finds a connection with someone, you don't want to kill that connection intishly. >> absolutely. >> there's the concern over cliques and bullying. is there a proven connection between having one best friend and cliques and bullying? >> there is no guarantee that any of this kind of friendship coaching and pushing friends to be all in a group is going to at all discourage bullying and cliques. we don't know that yet. in fact it could be more sub suberssive i don't want to hang out with that one, and we'll do it secretly, they're nod and smile and say, yeah we're doing what you want. so, we have to be careful not to force our kids to do anything. kids are kids. they'll figure it out. >> can't you find a happy medium and encourage your kids not to spend so much time with one friend but -- >> yes, absolutely. you want to say, maybe you can have three, four friends over. there still might be the one or two that will bring them closer and that's important to remember. you want to bolster that. >>
