Welcome to cbs this morning. As you are waking up in the west, a sentencing hearing for Bradley Manning is under way. It began moments ago. A judge convicted manning of releasing government documents to wikileaks. The Army Private First class was acquitted of the most serious crime. Bob orrs in washington. Reporter good morning. Bradley manning will likely spend years in prison. Military prosecutors hope his conviction on 20 unit coulds will be a strong deterrent. But there are serious holes in security. And the nations secrets are vulnerable. Bradley manning stood as the military judge read her verdict. The army private briefly smiled when he heard not guilty on the most serious charge of aiding the enemy. But manning was convicted of 20 other counts including espionage, theft of information and computer fraud. All in connection with the largest intelligence leak in u. S. Military history. This wasnt your garden variety guy acting badly. Reporter joe brennan, a former top Counter Intelligence official at the nsa, says mannings breach was in many ways predictable. After 9 11 intelligence agencies including the cia and fbi, began sharing more classified information in an effort to stop the next attack. But brenner says too many people were given access to too much information. It was as if we were conducting Foreign Relations in mr. Rogers neighborhood. Everybody should be nice and share everything. Reporter manning was able to access and release hundreds of thousands of files, including this 2007 video, showing a u. S. Apache helicopter in baghdad mistakenly opening fire on civilians. While leaks are rare the security of the information largely depends on the integrity of those handling it. Top secret clear ens ans are held by more than 1. 4 million people. And a third of them are government contractors. Like former nsa contractor Edward Snowden. Snowdens recent leaks about nsa Data Collection programs now have officials tightening protocols. Theyre now implementing a twoperson rule. So the systems administrators like snowden will no longer work alone. And quietly be able to download secrets. There will be more leaks. We can do a better job of reducing them. But transparency has come to the intelligence business. Reporter the sentencing phase of mannings trial could take weeks as the judge assesses the damage caused by mannings leaks. While hes been spared the possible sentence of life without parole he still faces up to 136 years in prison. Bob, what impact might this have on Decision Making by Edward Snowden as he sits in russia . You know he has to be watching this, charlie. The manning verdict probably ends any chance if there was one, snowden would come back to the u. S. Voluntarily because the government has put down a clear marker here on how it intends to go forward. So snowdens continuing to seek temporary asylum in russia with the ultimate goal of finding a safe haven somewhere in south america. The u. S. Government continues to pressure russia to return snowden. Sources tell us that could happen if the two countries find a way to make some kind of deal. Anthony weiners going on offense in his fight to stay in the race for mayor of new york city. Hes releasing a new campaign video. In it, he talks about the sexting scandal that is not going away. Elaine quijano is with us. Reporter since the scandal first broke a week ago, weiner has been keeping a full Campaign Schedule in an effort to move forward. Everyone has been wondering if or when hell drop out of the race. Well, last night, he repeated his answer. Quit isnt the way we roll in new york city. Reporter in his latest campaign ad, Anthony Weiner made it clear hes not going anywhere. I know that there are newspaper editors and other politicians that say, boy, wish that guy weiner would quit. They dont know new york. They dont know me. Reporter the one minute clip came nearly a week after he stood before reporters with his wife huma by his side and admitted to yet another sexting scandal. Since then the former congressman has seen his Campaign Manager step down and his onetime lead in the polls disappear. At every Campaign Stop a crush of cameras follows him. Someone wants to come out with something embarrassing about you in your private life you have to talk about that for a little while. Reporter will the video be enough to convince voters . The first question from the audience was about the scandal. I violated trust in my wife. I did that. That was wrong. People have every right in the world to say that disqualifies me. But im not going to quit based on that. Reporter in the face of another skeptical crowd, the feisty candidate refused to give ground and appeared to win some respect. You see whats going on here today . If you become mayor of the city of new york you got to put up with this every single day. People saying to you, you know what, you did something we dont like, cameras in your face back down, quit. Thats not the kind of mayor im going to be. Sir, i say to you with all due respect, if you dont like to vote for me do not vote for me but dont deny these peepople the right to vote for me. Reporter weiners Communications Director apologized to an intern last night. Barbara morgan tells cbs shes sorry for scathing comments that included a rant about the intern. After the intern provided an unflattering account of the weiner campaign to a new york newspaper. Charlie, gayle. Congress begins its summer recess this morning. But this morning, president obama is on capitol hill. Theyll be taking on republicans over the budget in september. Yesterday, the president offered the gop a cut in the Corporate Tax rate as long as the moneys used to create jobs. We cant allow an impasse over longterm fiscal challenges to distract us from what the middle east need middle class needs right now. So heres the bottom line. If folks in washington really want a grand bargain, how about a grand bargain for middle class jobs . Cbs news political director John Dickerson is here with us. So why is the president going to capitol hill . The white house asked for this meeting. It wasnt democrats calling for him to visit. Although in conversations with members of congress in both the senate and the house, they have been wanting the president to give direction, particularly on the Affordable Care act. His Health Care Plan thats getting beaten about. So the president s going up there to talk about his Health Care Plan, how hes working to make sure that gets implemented. But also his plan for jobs and how hes going to go forward with this set of budget fights were going to have in the fall that are going to be ugly and are going to be very high stakes. So thats kind of giving the road map. Do we have any measurement how successful hes being in getting across the economic message . We dont have a measure yet. But they hadnt been too successful before. Its hard to change the conversation. What hes trying to do now is narrow we talk about the grand bargain. The grand bargain used to be an exchange where the president would accept some cuts in entitlements. That was the big grand bargain. Thats gone basically. Now were in a little mini grand bargain. What that is the president says i will support cuts in the Corporate Tax rate if we use that money to pay for infrastructure. The idea is to focus republicans on policies they have supported in the past to try to make a clear political break between what the president supports and put pressure on republicans so its gotten much smaller, this strategy. Any response from the republicans so far . They dont like this idea of splitting corporate from person tax breaks. The head of the finance committee in the senate who has been working on tax reform doesnt like it either. The white house says wait were giving you some tax breaks on the corporate side. Please take yes for an answer. Thats where the fight is at the moment. On the politic, of Anthony Weiner, there was a note in politico this morning that huma is taking a leave of absence from her work with the secretary of state. From that job to her foundation. Can you read anything into that . We can read so much. Where to begin. We could go Baseball Association is ready to step up. Statistically Alex Rodriguez is among the best the game has ever seen, but Major League Baseball is expected to suspend him or possibly banning him for life overal gations he was involved with a now closed clinic accused of pedaling performance enhancing drugs. To be talking about measures this punitive they must. Li reporter a lifetime ban will unpreced be unprecedented and maybe more of a negotiating tactic. Going its more difficult to get a lifetime ban. Hes not the first player to use peds. Hes also not the first player not to be caught lying about peds. In fact, if thats the case. Ying i reporter still even a suspension could be a career ould b ender for the 38yearold third rold third baseman who is already battling major injuries. Injuri hes not a welcome presence s and to new york yankees. Ot there it goes left field. Reporter while arod admitted using banned substances between 2001 to 2003 he claims n 2001 he hasnt since. He in an interview for the Sports Illustrated cover story prophetically titled the last nce. Days arod, he seems hopefu optimistic. Im not giving up, he said, i have tremendous faith. And hopefully theres a happy ending somewhere. While the final chapter on arod is yet to be written, it may wh already be too late for a happy ending. Te its going to be remembered fo as one of the greatest if not the best player of his one of generation, but he made a lot of very bad decisions at the end e which really cost him his legacy. Reporter arods attorney has vowed to fight any suspicion. Vo terrell brown, we thank you. Prepackaged salads under ged fire today. Authorities say they caused a harsh stomach bug known as invest cyclospora. The outbreak has hit 13 other states. Ther sta and the federal government says the salad mix is not linked to is all the illnesses. Nearly 400 people have reported getting ill. The parasite is spread by food and water causing flulike symptoms. New economic numbers show the recoverys picking u. N. Speed up speed. The Commerce Department says the economy grew 1. 7 from april to june. Thats faster than analysts expected. Another report says american businesses added 200,000 new jobs this month. Cbs news Jill Schlesinger with us. What do these numbers mean . Were in a slow growth recovery recovery. First quarter was revised down quite dramatically. We now know the last three quarters, growth under 2 so thats not exactly what we want to hear. Its also much less than weve seen over the last 60 years where growth has averaged somewhere around 3 to 3. 5 . So again, slow growth. We are picking up a little bit of steam coming into the first half of the year. But its not where we want it to be. And jobs . Jobs well the adp gives us the signal potentially the friday employment report by the government could be better than expected. Were expecting somewhere around 150,000 to 200,000 jobs. 200,000 job pace for the month is a fine job pace but its not Strong Enough to get those 11. Million people back to work or to drive down the Unemployment Rate from its current 7. 6 . What about that recent job opening in the amazon factory . Its got a lot of attention. It did. I want to point out that we love to see new jobs created but what are the qualities of these jobs . Its okay but this is really underscoring a parttime economy. People cobbling together two or three parttime jobs where theyre not getting benefits. Trying to make as much money as they were previously. Its very hard. This is a struggle for many americans. We hear that home prices home prices on the rise. Is that a Silver Lining . You know im feeling like a bummer today but prices up over 12 from a year ago. Were still down 12 from the peak. And we also know Home Ownership is now dipped to the lowest level in 18 years. Just 65. 1 . Why is that important . It does tell you a lot of people frozen out of the Housing Market or just scared to get back in. So, again, housing is a positive contributor. We still have a long way to go. What about the markets . Heres the thing. The stock market is up huge. Were up about 19 on the year. Corporate profits have been growing. But thats a real difference between the real economy and the corporation. Companies are making a lot of money because they cut people. But this is not something that you can extrapolate into real peoples lives. Jill schlesinger, thank you. Ck president obama is sending two of his toughest critics to egypt. John mccain and Lindsey Graham will head there next week.
