so many of the foods we eat. the issue here is arsenic. the federal government has finished the biggest study on arsenic and rice. dr. richard besser is here. what did they find? >> this was a big study. they tested 1,300 products that contain race in some form. and they found inorganic arsenic, the most dangerous kind in all of them. brown race, had the highest levels because of the shell on the race. the fda says the levels are not such that it will cause immediate or short-term health effects. but will long-term exposure to this cause problems with cancer and to your heart and lungs? >> what do we do when feeding this to newborns? >> there's several things you can do here. when you're cooking rice, you want to rinse it until the water runs clear. that will take some of the arsenic out. cook it in excess water. but vary your diet. don't have rice every day. mix in other grains. as a pediatrician, when i talk to parents about starting first food, we're no longer saying going with rice cereal as the first cereal. mix it up. you can go with other grains and vegetables and meats. that will be just fine. >> coming on the heals of the apple juice scare, as well. >> and the hope is

charges. charges the defense attorneys for the former new england patriots player seem confident they would fight. >> in a sense, this is like the opening kickoff. and we have a long way to go before the trial. >> reporter: but prosecutors are also confidence in their case. sources tell abc news, the former nfl tight end tested positive for alcohol and marijuana, the night of his arrest, the night his friend and semipro football player, odin lloyd, was murdered. investigators say he used pcp. and spent his time off the field hanging with a gang. >> applications for search warrants. returns on

in a court of law, that aaron will be exonerated. >> reporter: police have yet to find the gun believed to have been used in lloyd's murder. but they're interested in hernandez's fiancee. prosecutors

diego, really. you had some hail. and i want to show you exactly what happened. and the rain that's going to fall today. that's all in the southwest. that's california. here's the rain that's going to fall again today. some of the extra moisture being enhanced as we go into the work week with some of the tropical stuff from the southwest. let me get to the forecast for the eat. boy, just as hot as this game is going to be, the center of the nation is going to be just that way. 99 in dallas. and in the northeast, only a little burst of heat and then we cool right down. wolverines are on top? how is that going to go today? that's the big picture. >> so, i have to tell you. how long has the body paint been on? >> six hours, baby. >> six hours. and many more to go because right here, "college gameday" is about to go down. thanks to all our friends at espn. they've got a happy crowd. and coming up, we have desmond howard, right here. talking to me about their game today. stick around for that. i'll have more weather coming up, too. >> we're seeing the professionals of the future, right? i feel we need to see notre dame representation, as well. have you met any notre dame fans? >> i

and bianna. these cubs are precious. not only for how they look. but the fact they're also endangered. only 7,000 grown cheetahs are raised. it's important to officials that the baby cubs have a smooth transition into adulthood. these adorable balls of fluff are the newest attraction at the dallas zoo. 8-week-old male cheetahs are brothers. >> it's play, eat and then sleep. and not necessarily in that order. >> reporter: and they are about to get an unlikely playmate. an 8-week-old black labrador retriever. there's no danger for amani. he's 14 pounds. almost twice as big as these guys right now. we're going to socialize them in a way that when they're two years, they're going to have that established relationship. it's a slow process. just getting to know each other. they'll be together 24/7. and they'll really forge a relationships just like the two cheetah siblings are. they're almost about to go to sleep. >> reporter: they're cute and cuddly now. as all three grow, sharing the same room, they're going to start noticing some big differences. cheetahs are expected to go to three feet long and weigh 140 pounds. >> eight months from now, the cheetahs will be running, 50, 60 miles per hour. and it's going to be great to have a dog that can show them how to run and chase and do all those things that we want those animals to do because that's a natural behavior. >> reporter: the cubs are part of the zoo's animal adventures outreach program, to teach the public about highly endangered species. >> there's less than 10,000 cheetahs in the wild. hopefully this education is about learning more through books, the internet, how they can help wild life. that's really what we're all about. >> reporter: the world's fastest land animals. they can go from 0 to 60 in three seconds. and amani means peace in swahili. hopefully his name will live up to it. >> thank you very much. coming up here on "gma," caught on tape. the former marine who runs to

the biggest challenge in the presidency of barack obama. overnight, he arrived at home after a difficult trip overseas, where he did not manage to rally much support for his plan to bomb syria. now, he has congress and the american people to convince. abc's jeff zeleny is at the white house right now with much more. jeff, good morning to you. >> reporter: good morning, dan. president obama faces a skeptical congress and an angry public, as he begins to make the final pitch on syria this weekend. >> we are the united states of america. we cannot turn a blind eye to images like the ones we've seen out of syria. >> reporter: in his weekly address this morning, president obama was adamant, fighting to convince congress and the public that a military strike on syria is absolutely necessary. >> this was not only a direct attack on human dignity, it's a serious threat to our national security. failing to respond to this outrageous attack would increase the risk that chemical weapons can be used again. that they can fall in the hands of terrorists who might use them against us. and it would send a horrible signal to other nations that there would be no consequences for their use of these weapons. >> reporter: the impassioned plea, comes after a disappointing four-day trip overseas. the president returning just last night without the international support he had so desperately hoped for. at home, the situation is just as dire. while the president was away, his cabinet and advisers struggled to persuade congress to sign off on military action. >> i knew this was going to be a heavy lift. >> reporter: a heavy lift that continues all weekend long. vice president biden is inviting senators over to dinner. the president is trying to win over the public with a national address on tuesday. >> i did not put this before congress just as a political ploy or as symbolism. >> reporter: still, an abc news survey of lawmakers finds more than half of congress is opposed or leaning against military strikes. congressman emanuel cleaver, who got an earful from voters in kansas city, told us, he's highly skeptical. >> what would i be saying and what would i be doing if george bush were in the white house? what's right should be right no matter who sleeps in the white house. >> reporter: now, the president's address to the nation on tuesday is one of the most consequential speeches of his presidency. senior administration officials tell me this morning they're well aware of the tide of public opinion they're going against. but they're working all weekend long, trying to persuade those lawmakers, those very skeptical lawmakers, before the votes begin next week in congress. bianna? >> many saying this could define the rest of his presidency. our thanks to you. we're going to turn to a security concern at buckingham palace this morning. a man scaling the fence to get inside the queen's home. one of the most serious incidents in decades. abc's nick schifrin is outside the palace right now. good morning, nick. >> reporter: good morning, bianna. you're right. this is one of the most serious security breaches in more than 30 years. and police are investigating how it's possible that someone could break into the queen's home. it's like an intruder breaking into the white house. buckingham palace security is supposed to be top-notch. but this morning, we're learning a man was able to scale over the 12-foot walls, kick open a door and walk right into the state rooms. during summer days, they're open to the public. at night, they're supposed to be secure. the man set off motion detectors. that's when police rushed to the scene, arrested him and charged him with trespassing, burglary. >> when there's a break-in at the royal palace, the secretary will say, let's have a review of security. there will be one. >> reporter: it's the worst security breech since 1982, when this man, michael fagan, hopped the fence, climbed up a drainpipe, right into the queen's bedroom. she woke up and spoke to fagan for ten minutes until security arrived. in 2004, a more colorful intruder. the caped crusader scaled the walls and protested british fathers separated from their children. and in 2005, the strangest breach of all, a comedian, dressed kind of like osama bin laden, gate crashed prince william's 21st birthday party. he got all the way to the prince. even kissing him on both cheeks. some of this seems bizarre, but ken wharfe calls all the incidents serious. >> that was a serious breech of security. the reason it happened was, is the royal family do not want to be completely cocooned in this protective cell. they rely upon the popularity and their own publicity. >> reporter: this incident occurred on monday night when the queen and her family weren't home. this morning, scotland yard is investigating this, taking it very seriously. most importantly, trying to figure out how to prevent this from happening again. >> yeah. that's the question. nick, thank you. we have other news breaking overnight. for that, mr. ron claiborne. ron, good morning, sir. >> good morning, everyone. we begin with a recall that parents are going to want to know about. johnson & johnson recalling some 200,000 bottles of its motrin infants formula. specifically motrin drops original berry flavor. the company says the product may contain tiny plastic particles. retired basketball star dennis rodman is on his way home from a trip to north korea rodman arrived in china, on saturday, today, while talking about a charity basketball game he's trying to organize. he had this comment about dictator kim jong-un who he met with. >> he's my friend for life. i don't care what you guys think about him. >> his friend for life, he says there. rodman did not bring back jailed american kenneth bae, telling reporters, quote, that's not my job. and supreme court justice ruth bader ginsburg speaking out about the same-sex wedding she performed a week ago. a first for a supreme court justice. ginsburg was a guest of honor at the national constitution center in philadelphia friday night. >> it was the marriage of michael kaiser, who is the head of the kennedy center, to his long-time partner, whose name happens to be john roberts, the same name as the chief justice. >> and justice ginsburg said the growing acceptance of the same-sex marriage shows the genius of the u.s. constitution and society. nasa is headed back to the moon. an unmanned and unwomaned rocket took off from virginia late friday night. the rocket is carrying a probe that will study the moon's atmosphere. a pontiac, michigan, man has explaining to do. the town was supposed to tear down his home. instead, it demolished the house next door. the man is now accused of switching the addresses to save his home. nice neighbor. nice alleged neighbor. turning to baseball. so close. yusmeiro petit of the san francisco giants was pitching a perfect game against the arizona diamondbacks, retiring every, single batter. and with two outs in the ninth, check that out. outfielder hunter pence, went for a diving catch. he missed the ball. perfect game over. really bad news for that pitcher. the giants went on to win that game, 3-0. and a school in albuquerque, new mexico, was on lockdown on friday because of, check this out, a bear scare. a 200-pound adult bear in a tree. kids were kept inside until that bear could be tranquilized and removed. to where, we don't know. and a fat cat named buddha, finding a unique way to slim down, walking on a treadmill in a pool of water. he turned up at a nashville, tennessee, animal shelter. tipping the scales at 31 pounds. buddha has lost six pounds. they're trying to get him down to 20 pounds. >> i thought cats don't like water. >> this cat seems to love it. they tranquilized him, probably, first. >> that's not true. he made that up. >> that cat loves the water. yes. >> love the end of a newscast when ron claiborne makes up facts. thank you, ron. we appreciate it. now, to a warning, a real warning, about a staple of the american diet. a food many of us and many of our children eat for breakfast. it is rice. it appears in so many of the foods we eat. the issue here is arsenic. the federal government has finished the biggest study on arsenic and rice. and abc's chief medical editor dr. richard besser is here. what did they find? >> this was a big study. they tested 1,300 products that contain race in some form. and they found inorganic arsenic, the most dangerous kind, in all of them. brown race, had the highest levels because of the shell on the rice. the fda says the levels are not such that it will cause immediate or short-term health effects. but will long-term exposure to this cause problems with cancer and to your heart and lungs? >> what should we do when it comes to eating rice, especially when feeding newborns? that's usually an introductory food. >> there's several things you can do here. when you're cooking rice, you want to rinse it until the water runs clear. that will take some of the arsenic out. cook it in excess water. and some of the arsenic will be left in that water. but vary your diet. don't have rice every day. mix in other grains. as a pediatrician, when i talk, now, to parents about starting first food, we're no longer saying going with rice cereal as the first cereal. mix it up. you can still have some rice cereal. you can go with other grains and vegetables and meats. that will be just fine. >> good tips, especially coming on the heals of the apple juice scare, as well. >> and the hope is they have a limit for arsenic in apple juice. hopefully in the future they'll come up with a limit for arsenic in rice. >> rich, great advice. thank you. we're going to turn, now, to new england patriots get set to start their new season this weekend. a former big star, potential hall of famer is answering charges that he killed a friend. aaron hernandez pleading not guilty to first-degree murder. and abc's reena ninan has the details. reena, good morning to you. >> reporter: good morning. he was the rising nfl star. $40 million contract. fiancee, even a baby girl. sources familiar with the case tell us how the prosecution will build its case. focusing on the alleged double-life the former nfl star led. aaron hernandez spoke for the first time in court on friday, pleading six times. >> not guilty. not guilty. not guilty. >> reporter: to first-degree murder and weapons charges. charges the defense attorneys for the former new england patriots player seemed confident they could fight. >> in a sense, this is like the opening kickoff. and we have a long way to go before the trial. >> reporter: but prosecutors are also confident in their case. sources tell abc news, the former nfl tight end tested positive for alcohol and marijuana following his arrest, the night that his friend and semipro football player odin lloyd was murdered. investigators say they can prove he used pcp. and spent his time off the field hanging out with a gang. >> there's a tremendous amount of evidence. applications for search warrants. returns on search warrants. still photographs from video surveillance. i think that evidence speaks for itself. >> reporter: lloyd's family, present in court. wearing purple, the color of the team he played for, the boston bandits. he was murdered less than a mile from hernandez's million-dollar mansion in massachusetts. >> we feel confident that when evidence is finally presented in a court of law, that aaron will be exonerated. >> reporter: police have yet to find the gun believed to have been used in lloyd's murder. but they're interested in hernandez's fiancee. prosecutors say she may know more than she's letting on. she has not been charged in the case or commented publicly. hernandez mouthing, i love you, to her and his family, as he left the courtroom. the prosecution will try to show that hernandez was capable of an execution-style murder of his friend. for now, he'll be held without bail. next court appearance will be october 9th. dan? bianna? >> thanks, reena. >> thanks, reena. quite a fall from grace. they are the alleged members of a bank robbing ring that police say pulled off a series of daring heists. what sets these suspects apart is they're all from the same family. two brothers and dad driving the getaway car. abc's susan saulny has the story of how they were brought down. >> reporter: they're bold. they're brazen. and now, we know these alleged bank robbers are brothers. this morning, braden and nicholas buston are in a colorado jail, facing multiple bank robbery charges. >> the conspiracy to commit robbery. classified felony. >> reporter: and the family ties don't end there. police say their father, 51-year-old brock buston drove the getaway car. the alleged crime spree started in may. banks reported caper after caper to the police. eight robberies in all. and one bank was hit four separate times. at the time, colorado springs police thought they were chasing one serial bank robber. the descriptions were mostly the same. >> very light, blonde hair. >> reporter: one thing didn't add up, though. the suspect's height kept changing. that's when detectives realized they were probably dealing with more than one robber. then, a crucial crack in the case. >> one of our robbery detectives who was just very alert, looking for the suspect vehicle, found it sunday at a motel. >> reporter: a stakeout followed. and thursday, police made the bust. that's when they say realized it was a family affair. on brock buston's linkedin page, he claims to be a screen writer and a former cadet at the air force academy. but the air force tells him, they have no record of him. as for the two boys, they're doing some family bonding. as in a $250,000 bond, set for each of them, as they await their fate. for "good morning america," susan saulny, abc news, washington. >> family bonding behind bars. time, now, for a check of the weather. and, ginger, we're not good enough for her. so, she decided to leave us. she's joining us from the site of espn's "college gameday" ann arbor, michigan, where later the wolverines will take on the fighting irish of notre dame. they are gearing up, ginger. >> this is the most exciting saturday morning you can imagine. we're in ann arbor. and i'll tell you one thing. this crowd's a little on the feisty side. what time did you get here this morning? >> 5:00 p.m. yesterday. >> 5:00 p.m. yesterday. what about down the line here. are you all students? >> yes, we are. >> and who's going to win today? >> michigan. >> it's a little bit heavy on the michigan side. we love our notre dame folks, too. they have great signs. don't touch the hair. is that okay? i want to get into some of the weather forecast. here it's going to be a great start to the day. increasing clouds. and later when the game is played, we're going to see, some showers and thunderstorms possible. but what i want to tell you about is after that "college gameday" goes on on espn, is the forecast yesterday, what a mess it was in southern california, right outside san diego, really. you had some hail. and i want to show you exactly what happened. and the rain that's going to fall today. that's all in the southwest. that's california. here's the rain that's going to fall again today. some of the extra moisture being enhanced as we go into the work week with some of the tropical stuff from the southwest. let me get to the forecast for the heat. boy, just as hot as this game is going to be, the center of the nation is going to be just that way. 99 in dallas. and in the northeast, only a little burst of heat and then we cool right down. so, again, wolverines are on top? how is that going to go today? that's the big picture. >> so, i have to tell you. we have the body paint. how long has the body paint been on? >> six hours, baby. living the life. >> six hours. and many more to go because right here, "college gameday" is about to go down. thanks to all our friends at espn. they've got a very happy crowd. and coming up, we have desmond howard, right here. talking to me about their show and the game today. stick around for that. i'll have more weather coming up, too. back to the studio. >> we're seeing the professionals of the future, right? i feel we need to see some notre dame representation, as well. ginger, have you met any notre dame fans? >> i know. i think they would get eaten alive out here. >> ginger's forecast for notre dame fans, danger. ginger, back to you later in the broadcast. now, though, prepare yourself for a dosage of cuteness that may exceed your doctor's daily recommendation. dr. besser is standing by with a defibrillator. these are cheetah cubs playing with a puppy. >> i don't think people at home realize just how cute this is. it's not a stunt. it's all happening at the dallas zoo. there's an important reason to have a puppy growing up alongside these cats. abc's aditi roy joins us live from los angeles. good morning, aditi. >> reporter: good morning, dan and bianna. these cubs are absolutely precious. not only for how they look. but the fact they're also endangered. only 7,000 grown cheetahs are raised. it's important to officials that the baby cubs have a smooth transition into adulthood. these adorable balls of fluff are the newest attraction at the dallas zoo. 8-week-old male cheetahs are brothers. >> it's play, eat and then sleep. and not necessarily in that order. >> reporter: and they are about to get an unlikely playmate. amani, an 8-week-old black labrador retriever. >> there's no danger for amani. he's 14 pounds. almost twice as big as these guys right now. we're going to socialize them in a way that when they're 2 years, they're going to have that established relationship. it's a slow process. the introduction phase here. just getting to know each other. they'll be together 24/7. and they'll really forge a tight relationships just like the two cheetah siblings are. you see how calm they are. they're only four feet away. they're almost about to go to sleep. >> reporter: they're cute and cuddly now. as all three grow, sharing the same room, they're going to start noticing some big differences. cheetahs are expected to grow to 3 feet long and weigh 140 pounds. >> eight months from now, the cheetahs will be running, 50, 60 miles per hour. and it's going to be great to have a dog that can show them how to run and chase and do all those things that we want those animals to do because that's a natural behavior. >> reporter: the cubs are part of the zoo's animal adventures outreach program, to help teach the public about highly endangered species. >> there's less than 10,000 cheetahs in the wild. so, hopefully this education is not just about seeing a dog and a cheetah. it's about learning more through books, the internet, how they can help wildlife. that's really what we're all about. >> reporter: a couple of fun cheetah facts. they are the world's fastest land animals. they can go from 0 to 60 in three seconds. and amani means peace in swahili. hopefully his name will live up to it. >> thank you very much. coming up here on "gma," caught on tape. the former marine who runs to the rescue when he sees three

buildings in the world. the palace is surrounded by high fences. there are security cameras everywhere. armed guards patrol the ground 24/hours a day. yet apparently this intruder was able to scale a fence, kick down a door, and he was in. the queen wasn't there. she's in scotland enjoying the end of her summer vacation. intruders have struck before. in 1982 michael fagan reached the queen's bedroom while she was still in bed. in 2004 a protester in a bat miami man suit managed to scale the walls of the palace, but the recent breakdown has caused them to stiffen their plans. >> they want

ArkansasUnited-statesJerusalemIsrael-general-IsraelAlabamaBuckingham-palaceWestminsterUnited-kingdomSyriaWashingtonDistrict-of-columbia edition of the broadcast. his country is split by a brutal civil war. he stands accused of a horrific chemical attack and faces the prospect of an american strike in the weeks to come. he also hasn't spoken to an american television network in nearly two years. but today bash or-- bashar al-assad sat down with charlie row, i spoke with him a short time ago from dubai as he makes his way back home. >> the president of syria ago technology-- acknowledges that chemical weapons are as bad as other weapons of mass destruction. but believes that he can make the case that he did not do it. and says he's not even convinced that chemical weapons were used, he's not seen the proof. he does not believe that the administration has shown the evidence they have that his government was responsible. >> jeff: charlie you have spoken to president assad before what struck you most about this interview. >> i thought he was remarkably calm and conversational. i think he made a commitment, perhaps because he's his father's son, that all he had to do was just go all out. that in order to save the regime he had to go all out. he took note of the fact that war is ruthless. and that in war you have to do everything you can to survive. >> jeff: does bashar al-assad believe he will stay in power. >> i think he doesment i think he knows the risk. i asked him about that i said you saw what happened to qaddafi, what happened in tunesia, in egypt. will say and he argues in this conversation, he's been able to prosecute this war for two and a half years because he has the support of the syrian people. charlie rose, we can't wait to see more tomorrow morning and tomorrow evening, thank you. >> thanks, jeff. >> jeff: and you can see extended portions of charl yee rose's interview with syrian president assad first thing tomorrow on cbs this morning. >> in london today secretary of state john kerry continued his effort to build international support for u.s. strikes on sirria. he offered his first comment on assad's remarks. margaret brennan is traveling with the secretary r9 secretary kerry dismissed assad's denials and said the evidence speaks for itself. earlier today in paris, the secretary made the case to arab leaders that they should support a u.s. lead strike on the assad regime. >> he has one of the largest stocks of chemical weapons in the world and at the moment he has no intention of really negotiating. so it is certain if he is threatened, he will use them again. >> reporter: kerry said that saudi arabia was convinced and decided to endorse the u.s. strike. he expects other arab countries to issue statements of support within the next 24 hours. but few are expected to say that they will join a military strike. kerry got a similarly hesitant response from the european union yesterday which urged the world to send a clear and strong response. but asked the u.s. to delay any action until the u.n. weapons inspectors finish their report. secretary kerry came here to london to discuss middle east peace. but this decision on syria is dominating. here in a country that has already decided that it will not be part of any military action. >> jeff: margaret brennan in london, thank you. several hundred thousand christians in syria fear an american attack could lead to their widespread persecution by weakening the assad government and strengthening islamic rebels. many of them linked to al qaedament elizabeth palmer has more on that from damascus. >> reporter: the civil war has not so far disrupted the ritual of sunday mass at al zeitouna catholic church in damascus but the father and every member of this congregation are deeply worried. they've seen the videos posted on-line and heard the news that islamist rebels pushed past the syrian army and invaded one of the hoeliest chistian sites in syria, maalula. the syrian troops claim they are back in control of the town. worshippers pray that's true but the threat still feel very close. just two weeks ago four mortars were fired into this christian neighborhood in damascus where everyone knows everyone. and a local man agor was killed. >> it is a sad-- really. >> reporter: christians in syria have flourished under the protection of president bashar al-assad but there's widespread fear that era has now ended as muslimist extremists gain power within the armed opposition. >> they're trying to force us to go out or die, if we try to stay, we will die. >> reporter: no one is saying ethnic cleansing yet. but they are thinking it. >> and that's not just christians. it's all religious minorities here. they may not have agreed with bashar al-assad's dictatorship but at least it kept them safe. now they think what's coming will be a bloodbath, jeff. >> jeff: liz palmer in damascus, thank you. scott pelley interviews president obama on his syria politics tomorrow am you can see that tomorrow night during the broadcast of the men's u.s. open final and later on the "cbs evening news." a crushing heat wave continues in california this weekend. temperatures hit the hundreds again this weekend in the san fernando valley. the yosemite rim fire is now the third worst in california history. officials say it is 80% contained but nearly 400 square miles have burned. in utah heavy rains caused more flooding and mudslides in alpine, the same spot for the third time in three weeks. ibm announced it is losing its medicare eligible retirees off its company health insurance and will give them money to buy insurance on private health care exchanges. late this afternoon we learn time warner will do the same. for more on the story we are joined by cbs news contributor med-- lod hobson. is this a good or bath thing in your estimation. >> over the short term it shouldn't be good or bad but neutral. the reason it will be neutral, ibm is saying the health-care coverage should be the same or better for the retiree. over the long term its goal is for it to be good. the reason ibm says it's doing it as wells a lots of other companies is because health care premiums for the retirees are expected to triple by 2020. by going to an insurance exchange, ultimately the goal is to lower these cost. >> jeff: you believe more companies will start doing this. >> for sure. 300 companies have already done it ibm is joining caterpillar, they're joining all sorts of other companies, dupont, again time warner just made the announcement. i think we're going to see more and more of this. the dom foes have started to fall. >> jeff: the question a lot of people might ask is does this mean my insurance rates are going to go up? >> so here's the unknown are young people. so the estimate is for 7 million people to sign up for this new kind of health coverage in the next year. two to two and a half million of those people need to be healthy, 18 to 35-year-olds. because basically what they will do is subsidize the cost of the older retiree. if they don't go in, if they don't enroll, the math will not work. >> jeff: mellody hobson, thank you very much. he is one of the original olympic sports but earlier this year wrestling was dropped from the game, a move that surprised many. today the international olympic committee changed its mind voting to put wrestling back in 20920 games. as don dahler explains many believe this not only restores the sport's reputation, they think it will make the ancient practice even better. >> reporter: the wrestling fans awaiting the international olympic committee's decision in a downtown manhattan bar, this was a gold medal moment. >> -- (cheers and applause) we just want a match, a big match. >> reporter: billionaire and former wrestler mike was one of many around the world who spent their own time and money to convince the ioc to reinstate wrestling. >> we worked our tails off for the last six weeks, made changes at the international organization, made changes domestically and also to raise awareness. >> wrestling needed 48 votes, it got 49ment but that was enough to defeat intense campaigns by both squash and a combined effort of baseball and softball. last february the ioc shocked the sporting world by voting to drop wrestling from its 2020 olympic line-up because of low ratings and attendance in past games. critics said it just wasn't exciting. that left olympic hopefuls like 16-year-old jake barry grappling for answers. today his dream was revived. >> when the decision was being made my heart was pounding through my chest. i like couldn't breathe. i knew what was on the line and i was just so, so happy that it got voted back in. >> reporter: being pinned to the matt forced wrestling governing body to modernize this ancient sport. the new rules will make wrestling a faster sport that rewards aggressive action. the number of weight classes for female wrestlers was also increased to bring pore gender equality to the sport. >> i think the changes we made are great changes. that part is a positive. this might have ended up being a really good thing for the sport. >> i think the bad scare was a very good thing for the sport. we probably got better press in the last six months than in the last 16 years. >> reporter: the new rules will be in effect in the 2016 olympics. don dahler, cbs news, new york. >> jeff: later on the auction block, james bond's submarine car. and the security lapses at buckingham palace when the "cbs evening news"

are someone bought a storage unit on long island and found. bond would never let this happen. first there was a break in at buckingham palace, then the authorities mistakenly stopped a prince in the royal garden. charlie d'agata in london tonight has more on a royal mess. >> reporter: two days after the palace's worst security breach in years, british police fumbled into another royal mess. they busted prince andrew, the queen's son, in the palace garden mistaking him for an intruder. tabloid headlines said prince andrew held at gunpoint. the police said no guns were drawn, and apologized for the mishap. the prince saw the funny side in a statement that read the police have a difficult job to do balancing security for the royal family and deterring intruders and sometimes they get it wrong. i'm grateful for their apology and look forward to a safe walk in the garden in the future. security officials are still trying to figure out how a burglar slipped past guards at night and reached a state room which is open to the public during the day, not far from the queen's private apartment. it's one of the most heavily fortified buildings in the world. the entire palace is surrounded by these high fences. there's security cameras everywhere. armed guards patrol the grounds 24 hours a day, yet apparently this intruder was able to scale a fence, kick down a door and he

in 2004 a protestor in a batman suit managed to scale the walls of the palace. but the recent break-in has renewed calls to stiffen security. >> yes, we could tighten telephone up. we could be shot down. we could raise the perimetre fence. the whole point is the queen and-- queen and royal family want to be accessible to the comment. >> reporter: there's no comment from the queen. of course it

all except for the swing ride. still off limits. >> it was just shocking. and i think, you know, they should have closed all the rides off for the rest of the day. >> the word amusement, the swing ride operator said its rides are inspected every day, connecticut state police blamed the accident on mechanical failure,. cbs news, norwalk, connecticut. >> jeff: still ahead, brightening lives in

something for my country because i know the situation and when somebody send a lamp to someone to a friend or family, i know how happy the people are when they receive the lamp. >> the country is so far behind them for energy. i think solar will play, could play a very important role. >> frank lanoix is the vice president of sogexpress. he says the cost of solar energy has begun downs it has become a viable option where infrastructure is a major problem. >> look at the sun hitting us right now. and it is there, it is to the going to go away. >> at this state of the art teaching hospital in the rural thrall platteau, 1800 solar panels power everything from surgical suites to x-ray machines. g gabou mendy is the medical director. >> i think to show -- >> the sol or power in haiti is still in its infancy, it is already being used to run everything from street lamps to irrigation systems. and just a year, sogexrress has sold and distributed 6,000 personal solar lamp, a bit of light

north carolina's death by distribution law would do just that. this comes after nine people in an ohio county died from opioid overdoses in just two days. is north carolina's law a fair way to fight the opioid crisis? here to weigh in his professor of law, thank you for joining us, appreciate it. we hear those numbers and at this point i don't think people are surprised because the numbers continue to grow, 9 people in two days, nationally the overdose numbers as well, 130 people in the us and i every single day from opioid overdose. we have to find a way to fix it. >> absolutely right, this is a national tragedy that continues to affect every one, all families have a friend or relative that has been affected so i think laws like these really fit into a pattern where lawmakers and prosecutors are driven to do something about the problem. shannon: let's look at what north carolina is trying to do and specifically the details of this death by distribution act, would be a possible second-degree murder charge for dealers if the overdose occurs, it was signed by the governor monday to take effect on december 1st but do you think this is the solution? >> i don't. there is a drive to do something. the prescription the legislature has issued is the wrong one. first of all north carolina already has laws that would allow folks to be charged for selling to someone who dies so this merely increases the penalty and the idea, the way the legislature framed the intent of the legislation is to deter people from selling drugs. the idea is we are going to send a message. shannon: hold somebody accountable. >> and also the idea you put a dealer on the street has been the narrative that has always been a guiding sort of framework. shannon: and as you continue to discuss 25 states that have some form of this drug-induced homicide law. >> even more states can charge people under other laws so it's not like we don't have these laws in place and not like our laws are lax and we don't have enough people in prison for drug charges. we have the harshest laws in the world and we have been deploying those laws very actively. we have a terrible and escalating drug crisis. shannon: what is the answer? >> the answer is to increase access to treatment and that means access to methadone, effective medications and it also means to get help to people when they are overdosing. calling 911, administering the antidote, this is where the concern for me as a public health researcher comes in where a law like this can send the opposite message. we want to encourage people to call for help when overdose is occurring, one of the top reasons people don't call for help is fear about legal repercussions so these laws send a message saying we are going to prosecute people to the full extent of the law and that deters people from calling for help. heather: it takes effect december 1st. thanks for joining us. the time is 10 minutes until the top of the hour and another blow to the nation's tourism, a third american dies in a dominican hotel room, but on a dominican republic operating table, not a hotel room, an operating table. the new reason investigators are working on the island. it is july 11, 711. you are celebrating 7-11's slurpy day, you can do it on fox square, don't miss it straight ahead. g tax code... it's understanding why that... will get him a body like that... move! ...that. your job isn't doing hard work... here. ...it's making her do hard work... ...and getting paid for it.
