A deal fell through last week. Isis release add video tuesday that appears to show him being burned alive. Charlie dagata is live in amman where there is widespread disapproval. Reporter the air force carried out several targets against isis this morning and talk of sending in Ground Troops. Jordanian justice came down swiftly. Two prisoners executed at dawn their bodies taken away for burial a short time later. One of those hanged was sajida al ra shower wieishawi, she tried to blow herself up at a wedding reception in simultaneous attacks that left almost 60 people dead. She was jordsans key bargaining chip. A pilot captured after a bombing raid over syria in december.

Charlie . Charlie, thanks. Cbs news Senior Security contributor Michael Morrell is with us. What is isis trying to accomplish here by doing this and secondly what possible response can there be that will be effective . Charlie, i think what isis is trying to splish two things. Acomp accomplish two things. A message they will not be intimidating what the High Technology uses against them. A lot of clips in this video. I think theyre saying were not going to stop because youre bringing this High Technology to bear against us and then trying to intimidate. What theyve been trying to do all along with the beheading. What can be done in response . Not much. Unless the coalition is willing to put more Ground Troops into iraq and possibly into syria. There is very little we can do to respond. How much would it take . 100,000. That will simply does not exist here and it doesnt exist in the other Coalition Countries. Why didnt it exist there . It exists the other Coalition Countries being western europe what im primarily talking about. The u. S. Has the most powerful military in the world and were joined by some of the most powerful forces in the region to get rid of isis. I think a lot of people look at this and say, why cant we get rid of them . And, also there is now still a 26yearold woman, American Woman, held by them . What will we do . You know theres two possible things we can do here. Right . One is go after the leadership. Take out the leadership. This is a Hierarchical Organization a small leadership that would make a difference. That is very hard to do because you have to know where theyre going to be at a particular time. That takes very very good intelligence. Its being worked on but theres no answer today, because if there was an answer today we would have done it yesterday. The other, i talked about earlier, put troops on the ground and there is not a stomach for that. Who would be willing to spend 10 billion in terms of tony induce somebody to talk . Talk and tell us where somebody is . Yeah. Sure. I think the United States would be willing to spend a lot of money and resources to find this American Woman for example. And im sure that everything is being done but its difficult to do. All right. Michael morrell, thank you so much. Welcome. And potential republican president ial hopefuls are trying to temper criticism this morning over the debate about measles vaccines. Kentucky senator rand paul tweeted this picture yesterday. He got a booster vaccination for hepatitis one day after making controversial statements associating vaccines with mental disorders in children. Florida senator marco rubio made his position clear on vaccines. I believe that all children, as is the law in most states in the country before they sgee school have to be vaccinated for a certainly panel. The most advanced country in the world. Weve eradicated diseases in the past have killed and permanently disabled people. There is absolutely no medical science or data whatsoever that links those vaccinations to onset of autism or anything of that nature. Peggy newman joins us contributor to the wall street journal. Good morning. Good morning. Interesting to hear the debate in the republican party. Most Top Republican lawmakers, clearly from senator rube yoeshgs vaccines work, protect children, no evidence it causes autism and then senator rand paul saying first on cnbc hes steen cause mental disorders in children and then backtracked that statement. Whats going on in the party . Oh, my goodness. I think well i think the overview is that since about 2008 both parties got themselves very busy being sensitive to the fears about vaccines having to do with a possible connection to autism. So theyre being very sensitive and theyre being very understanding, and six years later, what you have is an outbreak of measles, because everybody was being so sensitive. Hollywood stars were involved. Politicians who knew nothing about the science of the issue were involved but you have you have the wall street journal, which you write for now, really take on Chris Christies comments yesterday, today taking on rand paul calling this the weird science of pauls and christies and their lack of information . Fair enough. Look to my mind and the mind of most people who have been following this the efficacy of vaccinations for measles is very, very clear. It works, do it protect children. Especially little babies who are between the day they are born and 12 months who cant be vaccinated yet, and are vulnerable to germs carried by kids whose parents, for whatever, perhaps strange reason decided they didnt have to vaccinate the kids. Are you surprised, peggy that measles and vaccinations are a part of the political conversation number one . And number two, does it damage anybodys chances . Are you surprised . Am i surprised . Yes. This is absurd and bizarre and like are we going to be saying nobody should have a polio vaccine . This is crazy. Will it hurt anybody . Its a bubble of hurt now. If everybody gets serious and says, look stop this. Vaccinate your kids. I think it will go away. What an odd argument it is. Peggy noonan thank you.

The British Parliament is getting worldwide headlines this morning after an historic vote to allow the creation of babies from the dna of three people. The controversial procedure is expected to cut the risk of genetic disorders. Mark phillips is outside parliament in london where the new rules are moving forward. Mark, good morning to you. Reporter good morning. Well it was a highly charged debate here phrases like designer children and playing god get thrown around and theres some who fear this is the beginning of the slippery slope towards genetically engineering children. Yesterday may well be remembered as the day the genetics future of our species began. Reporter jamie metzl is a writer on genetics policy and his words may sound a little overstated. But not to poppys family. Shes almost 4 and suffers from mitochondrial disease. She cant walk and can barely speak. Her cells dont produce the energy they need for her to develop. Lily her sister does not suffer from the deceaseisease but may carry the genetic defect. Theyre surrounded by might toe condrial the patrys that power cells. That nucleus is trafred to healthy mitochondria and that would contain dna from the mother and father plus a tiny amount from the egg donor. Its this threeparent child that poses the ethical dilemma. But not to poppys family. It means the girls, lily certainly, and poppy, if she lives to reproductive age, could have children who dont have the disease. Its inherent it will pass down the female line. To give them a kwhois they come to the age of thinking about children and an option of having a healthy child. Reporter science won the moral argument in britain but in the u. S. The discussion gets political. Its very very difficult to have these kinds of conversations in the United States, because we have the big divide between the right, socalled right to choice and the socalled right to life that we very, very quickly get caught up in National Politics that are in some ways bigger than the issue of mitochondrial transfer. Reporter its important to say that the dna of the socalled third parent in the egg would not affect the characteristics of the child, it would, however norah, give that kid a chance to have is a normal and healthy life. Important distinction. Mark, thank you so much. 7 19. Ahead, the unexpected sequel from the author of to kill this National Weather report sponsored by kay jewelers. Every kiss begins with kay.

And it just seems unfair to her, to us to have to take this extra cup as if the onus was on us instead of people who for personal reasons hadnt immunized their children.
