Welcome to cbs this morning. Charlie rose is on assignment so Anthony Mason is with us. Good to have you here. Happy columbus day. It is. Southwest Airlines Says a mysterious computer glitch that delayed hundreds of flights across the country is fixed. The problem first appeared yesterday causing long lines of frustration to stretch through several airports last night. Delays briefly continue this morning but they are now clearing up. Southwest has not said what caused this problem but they do say hackers do not appear to be responsible. Our dallas ft. Worth station is at lovefield in dallas where southwest has its corporate headquarters. Good morning, arezow. Reporter good morning. Southwest did release a statement apologizing but we still have no word on what caused the delays to hundreds of flights from coast to coast. We have been in this line for probably about 20 minutes and just about at the beginning of the line now. But this is about as bad as i have seen it. My flight got canceled. Reporter on sunday a mystery computer glitch created a travel nightmare as passengers were being checked in manually and issued handwritten tickets. What are you going to do . I mean, the computers are down. Theres nothing we can do. Everyone else is in the same situation. Reporter at los angeles international, Police Tweeted a picture of long lines snaking past the southwest desk and warned the public to avoid early. There were people sitting down on the floor when we started because they have not moved in hours. Reporter the airline took to twitter on sunday to apologize for the problem with some passengers responding, glad im not flying southwest today. And others offering their appreciation for the airlines hard work. The airline said about 450 flights were delayed on sunday. Passengers were told to arrive at the airport at least two hours early and to print and bring their boarding passes to the airport to help minimize delays. The computer issues also affected baggage handling. The airline issued a statement saying, while teams work diligently to enhance the performance of our technology, our airportbased employees are working with customers on their individual itineraries. And we apologize for the extra effort and delayed arrival of passengers and their baggage. This Technical Glitch is the most recent to destruct Airline Travel in months. With the internet, everythings online. It is what it is, i guess. Im not happy about it, but hopefully they will fix it up. Reporter southwest is still not commenting on what caused the Technical Glitch. But assures us the problem has been fixed and lines are returning to normal. Arezow in dallas, thank you very much. President obama this morning is defending his administrations failed bid to train Syrian Rebels to fight against isis. In his 60 minutes conversation with steve kroft, he said the u. S. Will keep searching for partners on the ground and has doubts that the pentagon is now changing. If you were skeptical of the program, train and equip modern syrians, why did you go through the program . Because part of what we have to do here, steve, is to try different things. Because we also have partners on the ground that are invested and interested in seeing some sort of resolution of this problem. And they wanted you to do it. No, thats not what i said. I think it is important for us to make sure that we explore all the various options that are available. I know you dont want to talk about this. No, im happy to talk about it. But i want to talk about this program because it would seem to show, i mean, if you expect 5,000 and you get 5, it shows that somebody some place along the line made some sort of a serious miscalculation. Steve, let me just say this. It is an embarrassment. Look, theres no doubt that it did not work. And one of the challenges that ive had throughout this heartbreaking situation inside of syria is that, youll have people insist that, you know, all you have to do is send in a few truckloads full of arms and people are ready to fight. Then when you start a train and equip program and it doesnt work, then people say, well, why didnt it work . Or if it had just started three months earlier it would have worked. But you said yourself you never believed in this. But steve, what i have also said is that surprisingly enough, it turns out that in a situation that is as volatile with as many players as there are inside of syria, there arent any silver bullets. The president also insisted the u. S. Wont get involved in the military campaign on the ground. Youll hear more from the interview in our next hour including the president explaining how he plans to act more freely during his last 15 months in office. The death toll from twin bomb attacks in turkeys capital ankara rose to 97 this morning. The turkish government says isis is the main suspect, but isis has not claimed responsibility for the deadly blast. Turkey is a key u. S. Allie in the region and the country is looking increasingly unstable ahead of National Elections next month. Holly williams is in istanbul following the search for suspects. Good morning. Reporter good morning. The turkish government said it is close to identifying one of the suicide bombers. This countrys worst terrorist attack in its modern history has left turkey griefstricken but also angry. Hundreds of people were holding a rally for peace when instead two explosions left carnage on a city street. Arms and legs were flying up into the sky, said this man. Two of my friends were killed but i survived. The attack followed an upsurge in violence between the turkish government and militants from turkeys kurdish minority. Sparked by a suicide bomb that claimed more than 30 lives in july, hundreds of people have been killed on both sides. And the turkish government has launched air strikes on kurdish militant camps. As kurdish politicians try to lay flowers at the scene of the attack yesterday, there was a confrontation with police who said investigators were still working at the site. The turkish Prime Minister said that kurdish militants and isis were possible suspects. But nobodys claimed responsibility. And many of the mourners believe the turkish government is to blame because they say it stood up unrest ahead of National Elections next month. Turkeys arrested around 40 suspected isis militants since the attack. But its not clear if theres any link to the bombings. Just three weeks from an election in which kurdish voters will play a decisive role, the mood here in turkey is tense with many fearing more violence. Gayle . Thank you, holly williams, reporting from istanbul. Irans judiciary says this morning a court has convicted a Washington Post reporter held for more than a year. Jason rezaian was charged with espionage and other crimes. His lawyer says this is injustice and there will be an appeal. Martin buren says a connen temptable end to this judicial process leaves irans Senior Leaders with an obligation to right this grievous wrong. And donald trump and Hillary Clinton are the latest in the lead from the national poll. The First Democratic Party debate of the campaign is tomorrow night. Julianna goldman is in washington tracking the democratic race. Julianna, good morning. Reporter good morning. Hillary clinton is way ahead of the four other democrats running for president , but the cbs news poll shows that when Vice President joe biden is put in the mix, her lead shrinks slightly. In the runup to the debate, two of clintons opponent previewed some of their attack lines. From day one i opposed the keystone pipeline. Reporter democratic president ial candidate senator Bernie Sanders and former Maryland Governor Martin Omalley zeroed in on Hillary Clintons views on Foreign Policy and attacked her shifts in position. Secretary clintons always quick for the military intervention. I believe a nofly zone right now is not advisable. Reporter clintons 2002 vote for the iraq war and last weeks announcement she was breaking with the Obama Administration and now opposing the 12station transpacific trade deal has sanders urging voters to do the math. So people have to contrast my consistency and my willingness to stand up to wall street and big corporations. Reporter clinton is still fighting back against inquiries into her use of a private email server while secretary of state. In a 60 minutes interview with steve kroft, president obama said his former secretary of state made a mistake. I can tell you that this is not a situation in which Americas National security was endangered. This administration has prosecuted people for having classified material on their private computers. Theres no doubt there have been breaches and these are all a matter of degree. We dont get an impression that here there was purposely efforts to hide something or to squirrel away information. Reporter Vice President joe biden spent the weekend in delaware with family. Hes expected to decide whether to launch a white house bid any day now. Vice president , Everyone Wants to know get out of my way, will ya . Reporter cnn says Vice President biden can still participate in tuesdays debate. One reporter even tweeted out a picture of the just in case podium, number six, if he shows up at the last minute. Anthony, part of the reason hes deciding soon is that florida, New Hampshire and texas have filing deadlines that start in november and december. Julianna, thanks. Our new poll shows the two outsider republicans, trump and carson, are well ahead of the rest of the field. Texas senator ted cruz is in third place with just 9 . Cruz is followed by marco rubio, jeb bush and carly fiorina. But theres new concern that the republican disarray on capitol hill could hurt the partys president ial chances. Nancy cordes is on capitol hill with more. Reporter Congress Left town without any resolution on who will hold arguably the most powerful position on capitol hill. An aide to wisconsins paul ryan tells me over the weekend he listened to all the calls from people begging him to get into the speakers race, but that so far he has not changed his mind. Right now im just trying to make it home for dinner. Reporter he may have left washington but ryan cant escape the desperate pleas from republicans to lead their fractured party. It will be hard for people to confront paul ryan and say hes not a good republican. Reporter thats an occupational hazard for the current House Speaker who must sometimes compromise with democrats. According to the latest cbs news poll, 23 of Republican Voters approve of the job john boehner is doing. Republicans never win. Reporter the partys president ial frontrunner was lukewarm on ryan, too, when he sat down with face the nations john dickerson. You would be okay with speaker ryan . I would be okay. They have a couple people in there, im not mentioning names, but there are people in there really tough and really smart. Reporter House Republicans are also dealing with new accusations that the House Benghazi Committee has been too focused on Hillary Clinton and the state department. This has become a partisan investigation. Reporter in a civil complaint, a former Committee Investigator and air force reservist named Bradley Podliska accuses Republican Leaders of, quote, pressuring him to focus his investigation on secretary clinton. I was fired for trying to conduct an objective nonpartisan thorough investigation. Reporter but in a statement the committees chairman aggressively denied the claims saying he himself was focused on clinton improperly and that podluska was instructed to stop. Nancy, thank you so much. And the slow recovery from the catastrophic southern flooding continues this morning more than a week after the historic storm. The death toll stands at 21 in the carolinas. 27 dams have failed, 129 are in jeopardy. And more than 300 roads and bridges remain closed. Flood warnings remain in effect in parts of the state. David begnow is in communities that are surrounded by water. Good morning. Reporter good morning. This is the seventh mourning the sun is rising over the town of andrews, South Carolina, with homes still submerged in water. Others like the one im walking on right now, theres water near the roof. Heres the good news, the levels seem to have dropped 3 to 4 feet in some places, but there are other places around here where the water is still 15 to 20 feet high. Over the weekend a new round of heavy rain lashed South Carolina. Some parts of the state got as much as 6 inches of rain. It soaked areas already saturated with floodwater. While no significant damage was reported, Recovery Efforts have been slow throughout the state. The community of big dam is completely surrounded by floodwater. 15yearold hunter byrdon and his father daniel are some of the volunteers to help the 275 people that have become cutoff. What are you using the boat to do . Im hauling people back and forth, i guess you can say taxi, hauling food and supplies. Reporter for days boats are the only way in and out of big dam. If it werent for Daniel Barton and his boy we would have been in trouble. Reporter really . How bad is it . You see where the trash is on the road . Thats how high the water was. Reporter this doctor and her team have been bringing medical supplies into the community. Its an island. On sunday she needed a boat to make her house calls. Its amazing because i drive this road all the time to do my home visits and patients that live out there. And there is no road. Reporter its buried under 15 feet of water. Exactly. Reporter today volunteers are going back into the community of big dam with food, water and medical supplies. Seven days those people have been stuck on what seems like an island. The only way out is by boat, and yesterday many of them took it because they wanted to go to sunday church service. That says a lot, david. I see you looking at the pictures while on the roof, but please be careful. Scary stuff. Theres a big scare for apa. 166 people were on board sunday afternoon and firefighters quickly extinguished the flames on the md80 aircraft while many were still onboard. Many wondered why the crew reacted as if nothing was happened. We have no problems. The firetruck is checking. Everythings fine. Well be with you in about two more minutes. Yeah, everythings fine. Thats why theres there was a large loud boom, kind of shook the plane briefly. And almost immediately the pilot applied the brakes really hard and the plane just came to a really quick stop. You should say no one on board the plane was hurt. Allegiant, the airline officials, describe the incident as a mechanical issue. I love when people say everythings fine but theres a fire truck outside. Thats a little nerveracking. Yikes. All right. A dodgers hard slide knocked the mets shortstop out of the playoffs. Ahead, the new punishment for chase utley and the debate over whether it was a good morning from the kpix weather center, heading outdoors this morning, its columbus day, little slivers of patchy fog along the coast, otherwise upper 40s in santa rosa and napa, 60 in fremont, low 60s in oakland. Later today warmer from 70s beaches and bay to low 80s emeryville, 90s inland areas away from the bay, slight breeze out of the northwest at 5 and seasonably warm through the week. See what happens when we try to go off the beaten path in north korea. We are trying to talk to people about coming to a dolphins show. Yeah, i know. You have to go. You want this to be your last trip . Reporter last trip saying if we interview people we cant come . Cant come. Youre being too rude. Wow. Seth doane inside flenorth kore. He is watched at every turn. The news is back this morning on cbs this morning. Announcer this portion of cbs this morning sponsored by fastsigns. More than fast. More t
