Reporter norah and charlie, good morning. Hannah and her father are expected back here in san diego later today. The 16yearold was found safe and physically unharmed in a remote part of idaho. She had been taken there by James Lee Dimaggio who had been considered a friend of the family. The camp site where dimaggio was hiding out was first spotted by plane saturday high in idahos rugged backwoods. Two hostage rescue teams immediately deployed. It was a very a challenging landing because of the very steep terrain. They were able to get that team out and on the ground. That team hiked about 2 to 2 1 2 hours to the camp surrounded the camp and at the first moment there was separation between hannah and dimaggio, a safe distance, they were able to move in and make that rescue. Reporter dimaggio was shot and killed by an fbi agent after being given every opportunity to surrender. A few other details about the operation have been released while the fbi conducts an internal assessment. What exactly was going on at the time of the rescue what happened in the minutes leading up to that, all part of the investigation thats going on right now by that team that comes in to investigate any time an agent discharges his weapon. Reporter the saga began sunday after the bodies of andersons mother christina and 8yearold brother ethan were found inside a burning home about an hour east of san diego.

I told my wife that is the girl that was up on that mountain. Reporter authorities later found dimaggios blue nissan hidden in the woods. Andersons family in suburban san diego is thrilled she is coming back home but theyre also in mourning. We had to put the murder of ethan and tina on hold. In the back of our minds.

The best pictures are from the sky. You can see that half of that building is falling into the sinkhole. Right now crews are trying to make sure it will not spread. There were no injuries in all of this. They did evacuate everyone safely early this morning. Even some of the surrounding buildings have been evacuated. Managers here are trying to make sure everyone is accommodated. Theyre trying to make sure this sinkhole doesnt spread. For cbs this morning, evan lambert in florida. Today, attorney general holder plans to call for major changes in the nations criminal Justice System including scaling back harsh sentences from drug crimes. Jan crawford is with us in the studio. Reporter good morning. This is just such a significant story. Developing really overnight. The attorney general is wanting to basically cut the time some of these nonviolent lowlevel drug offenders are spending in jail. Today the administration is going to send a memo to u. S. Attorneys offices across the country telling them to change how they charge some of these nonviolent drug crimes. This is a way of getting around federal laws that would otherwise impose some pretty tough mandatory minimum sentences. Now, attorney general holders going to announce the change later today in a speech before the american bar association. Hes going to make the case in moral and economic terms. Saying according to the prepared remarks we see, too Many Americans go to prison too Many Americans go to too many prisons for far too long and for no good Law Enforcement reason. So very strong words trying to make this case. How significant do you think this change will be given the overcrowding and the expense in terms of u. S. Prison population . Reporter norah, that is really part of what is driving this. Prison overcrowding is a major problem in the United States. At the federal level and the state level. Think about this. These sentencing laws took effect in the 1980s in response to a lot of concerns about drug crimes. Today, 25 of the worlds prison population is in the United States. Almost half are in prison for drug offenses. 80 billion a year spent on corrections nationwide. This is a unilateral order. Theyre making this change. The administrations making this change today without consulting congress. How much of this is about eric holders legacy as attorney general . I think that is how its going to be perceived, norah, that he sees this as a major part of his legacy. And unlike some of the other changes that hes proposed like remember closing guantanamo bay, trying terror suspects here in manhattan. This want does have some bipartisan support. States like arkansas and texas already have imposed their own policies to lower prison overcrowding so he may have some bipartisan support for all of this. Thank you. And president is taking a break from washington this week. Hes spending time with his family on marthas vineyard. The vacation comes as the president s Approval Rating is taking a nosedive. Major garrett is traveling with the president. Reporter every president needs to get away. President obama has done so less than his predecessor, president george w. Bush. 14 trip and 92 Vacation Days compared to 50 trips and 223 for mr. Bush. One Common Thread mr. Obamas beginning to experience some second term blues. The president stepped on to the island paradise confronting some of the diceiest poll numbers of his presidency. Its only one poll but gallup constantly tracks his approval. 50 of the country disapproving. His Approval Rating was 51 last year a low not seen since december 2011. Its usually due to defections among democrats. Revelations of counterterrorism surveillance programs more aggressive than during the bush years has unsettled the president s base. I want to make clear, once again, that america is not interested in spying on ordinary people. Reporter as the president tries to defend the phone and internet tracking republicans accuse him of ducking the issues for weeks. When the story initially broke, the president went under cover. He just finally came out last friday trying to come up with ways to salvage the program by window dressing. I applaud the president for continuing the nsa program. What im critical of him though basically hes been silent for the last two months. Reporter the cancellation of a planned summit with russian president putin highlighted new troubles with the president s attempt to quote, reset relationings with russia. Hes an old kgb colonel that has no illusions about our relationship, does not care about a relationship with the United States, continues to oppress his people continues to oppress the media, and continue to act in an autocratic and unhelpful fashion. Reporter on domestic issues the president faces budget fights with republicans in november, obama care in october and Immigration Reform faces an uncertain future. The Common Thread is the skepticism or downright opposition. The president s not likely to find much more new momentum here. Hes unlikely to bump into any republicans here on marthas vineyard. Theyre mostly over on nantucket. And Egyptian Police could storm groups of protesters at any time. Thousands in cairo are staging sitins. Theyre demanding the reinstatement of ousted president Mohamed Morsi. Demonstrators say theyre not going anywhere despite a 24hour ultimatum. Foreign policy analysts are debating the obama administrations reaction. I sat down with former secretary of state and cbs news contributor condoleezza rice. A military overthrows a president who was democratically elected. Is that an coup . The militarys intervention was a dark day for egypt. We cannot sanction what the military did. We have to recognize that we are where we are in egypt and try to move forward. Is it because if you call it a coup it means you have to restrict the aid and there arefore thats something you believe shouldnt happen . It is because i will wait to see whether the Egyptian Military lives up to its promise to return as quickly as possible to civilian leadership. If it does that then whatever we have labeled it will have been a step in the right direction. I will tell you, im very worried that in fact thats not what the Egyptian Military has in mind. When i see them putting their own pictures on the wall im worried they dont have in mind the immediate return to civilian leadership. Again, we can label it. Yeah the military overthrew, quote unquote, overthrew a democratically elected government. Thats a bad thing. Whatever you call it, its a bad thing. The key now is egypt has to move forward. And this time if the brotherhood participates in politics maybe it wont subvert the democratic process by trying to hold itself in power. What happened in egypt was not just what the military did, it was also what morsi and the Muslim Brotherhood did. I hope what general dempsey and others are saying to the military is professional militaries dont do this. Get out of the president ial palace. Return this to civilian government. Or you will not have a relationship with the United States of america. I spoke with the secretary, former secretary of state last week. Shes having a very good new life. Shes teaching at stanford. Enjoying golf. And having a chance to, you know, think about the steak friday. Amy cloeb i schaar from minnesota is there this week and Claire Mccaskill was there this past week. So everyone has already descended there in iowa. Are they there for hillary or to speak to the democratic voters . Amy is there on her own to good morning. We have plenty of low clouds and fog around the bay area this morning at least along the coastline and inside the bay, some drizzle out there, as well. But as we head toward the afternoon, we are going to see some warming weather. It looks like sunshine taking over, that low begins to yup a little further to the north.

It is the question many adopted children ask. Where did i come from . There she is. Yeah. The law giving some people answers and the controversial that comes with it. What people are concerned about, i think, is the knock at the door. Plus finding a good deal on coach seats could be getting tougher. Why airlines may be squeezing you out in the name of luxury.
