Shirley temple black died last night at her home near San Francisco. The former child superstar was 85. As ben tracy reports, she was the biggest name in movies during a troubled time in america. On the good ship lollipop reporter the most recognizable child star of all time. She made more than 50 movies most filmed when she was between the ages of 4 and 10 years old. I think i was the luckiest child in america. Reporter Shirley Jane Temple was born in 1928. She began her career in a series of short films called baby burlesques where she imitated very grownup ladies. Top movie star of the 30s, earning 4 million by the time she was 12. She was known for that dimpled smile, those curls, exactly 36 of them every time. I started working at age 3 1 2 and i learned then that time is money and its work not play. Reporter even at a young age, she could learn pages of dialogue and complicated steps with some of the best dancers in hollywood. Reporter and she could turn on the tears at will never failing to break her audiences hearts. I want my mother. Animal crackers in my soup reporter Shirley Temple had it all as a child. Her own car, honorary oscar. But the movie roles started to dry up when the adorable little girl grew into a nice but averagelooking teenager. She retired from movie roles at the age of 21. Years later, there was an act two for Shirley Temple. Mrs. Shirley temple black, United States of america. She became u. S. Ambassador to ghana. Little shirley always helped me open doors but if i dont perform or know what to say then the doors close. Reporter Shirley Temple seemed to always know how to perform, always on cue with that trademark giggle that made her an onscreen legend. Yeah. For cbs this morning, ben tracy, los angeles. She was americas darling during the depression and incredibly, as ben pointed out, she retired from acting at like 21 and became a diplomat serve ing ghana and czechoslovakia. Yes. And my kids know who Shirley Temple is even though they havent seen those movies. Probably no other child star has been as big as she was. Absolutely adorable. Well miss her. This morning many businesses are getting more time to comply with obamacare. Major garret is at the white house with the latest delay in the troubled rollout. Major, good morning. Reporter good morning, norah and charlie. Good morning to our viewers in the west. President obamas Top Health Care voizadvisers describe this as response to genuine concerns from the Business Community that the Affordable Care act employer mandate is still too complicated and costly. Here is what is different. The second year in a row the Obama Administration has delayed the mandate for businesses with 50 to 99 employees to provide Health Insurance or face a fine. That mandate was to begin january 2015. It now begins in january 2016. This affects about 115,000 businesses. The other big delay affects businesses about 100,000 of them with more than 100 employees. Those businesses have to provide Health Insurance in 2015 but to 70 of their workforce instead of the 95 requirement that was originally in the law. All these changes only affect fulltime employees and most businesses, those with fewer than 50 employees, are not touched by the obamacare employer mandate at all. Republicans contend this change illustrates the laws fundamental flaws, both practical and political. Citing this and other obamacare delays as the white house rewriting the law to fit its political needs. The president may be questioned about this at a press conference with french president francois hollande. We turn to the south lawn where president holland arrived to a warm welcome moments ago. He and president obama shook hands. Hollande will take part in several events today before tonights state dinner. This comes after a recent split with his longtime partner. New information on a story we brought to you yesterday. Cbs news confirms an american accused of planning al qaeda attacks on other americans is living in pakistan. That puts him out of reach of the u. S. Military. So the Obama Administration is considering using a drone strike to kill that suspect. Under new rules, the Justice Department must confirm he is actively involved in terror plots against american citizens. Newly revealed video shows American Special forces capturing a notorious terror suspect. Anas al libi one of the ten most wanted fugitives of the fbi. David martin is live with a look at the video first reported by the Washington Post. Good morning. Good morning, charlie and norah. A surveillance camera has given us a rare look at u. S. Commandos in action as they snatch this longtime al qaeda operative, anas al libi. The car stops in front of his house shortly before dawn last october. A white van pulls up next to him and delta commandos leap out. Freeze the video and you can is clearly see one of them standing in front of the car, his pistol trained on the front seat. Another van pulls into position. The commandos wrestle al libi out of the car and into the van and speed away. It was over in less than two minutes. The next day al libis family described his abduction, which was presumably recorded by this security camera. Few dings and one broken window were the only evidence of the violent confrontation. Is he believed to have once been close to Osama Bin Laden and is accused of playing a role in the 1998 bombings of two american embassies in africa which left more than 200 dead. After his capture, he was taken to a u. S. Navy ship in the mediterranean, where he was interrogated before being flown to new york, where he will stand trial for the embassy bombings. He has pleaded innocent. A trial date has been set for november of this year but lawyers involved in the case expect that date to slip. Charlie, norah . David, thank you. This morning, sources tell cbs news that a new congressional report exposes major flaws in government background checks. Nearly 5 million americans hold some kind of security clearance. The system is being reviewed after septembers shooting at the Washington Navy yard. Government contractor aaron alexis is accused of killing 12 people. Alexis had a long arrest record but still was given access to the navy yard. Federal rules say investigators cannot do internet searches on job seekers who need security clearance. If they have an inappropriate you see this every day in business an inappropriate Facebook Page in private business they might lose their job over it. Well in government service, even if its for a contractor, often it goes unchecked. The new report comes out later today. It also shows more than 450 Law Enforcement agencies do not give detailed records to the federal agency that does background checks. The new york and Los Angeles Police departments are on that list.
