Were learning at least two americans were among those killed when a suicide bomber blew himself up outside a restaurant in kabul. Charlie dagata is following the developments of yesterdays attack. Charlie, good morning. Good morning to you, anthony and vinita. We got that warning yesterday. At least two citizens died. We have learned they were from the American University in afghanistan. Here the Foreign Office said two british nationals are among the dead in one of the worst attacks against foreign civilians since the start of the war. They struck the popular lebanese restaurant on a busy friday night. Afghan officials said it started when one suicide bomber blew himself up outside the entrance. There were apparently according to our primarily investigation, three terrorists. One was able to explode the explosive he brought with him and two others were trying to enter the restaurant. Witnesses said the gunmen stormed the restaurant and opened fire on everyone inside. This Security Guard said people inside were shouting and screaming after every single shot. Desperate customers tried to hide under tables. Americans, britain, canadians, and lebanese were among the 13 foreign victims, according to afghan officials. The other eight were afghans. The International Monetary fund said its representative was killed. The United Nations confirmed four u. N. Employees died in what they call a horrific attack. As you can imagine were very shock and very sad and its a very heavy day here in afghanistan. Weve lost some four u. N. Staff members in the attack. You can imagine the effect on the Staff Members here. Its exactly the effect the terrorists were aimed for. Although its commonplace in kabul, its been rare for attackers to penetrate the areas well guarded for foreigners. It may be worth noting that while this is a well garlded area, like all parts of kabul, it is secured by Afghan Forces with no u. S. Military presence to speak of. Anthony and vinita . Charlie, youve been in afghanistan many times. How safe is it for the workers and afghans who use them . Well security starts in a sort of ring of steel around the neighborhoods. You dont want to get an attacker close to these restaurants, but the fact is foreign nevers,er foreigners journalists, people from the u. N. They do frequent a handful of restaurants in kabul, and once you get there, youre searched in sort of this breezeway area. They make sure no ones carrying any weapons but all it would take is a suicide bomber to penetrate the entrance and gunmen to go in from anywhere but it doesnt stop foreigners from getting their work done. Where the security should be is on the ring around those areas, these neighborhoods where the diplomatic quarters and foreigners and Foreign Workers congregate and gather. Charlie dagata in london this morning. Thank you. President obama is moving the limit the scope of the National Security agencys phone, internet and data. Reaction to it both good and bad was swift in coming. Nancy cordes is at the white house this morning. Good morning to you. Good morning, vinita. Even as he said that some of their practices are going to have to change including as you said the collection of that massive trove of phone and Internet Data which he said will continue to be stored at the nsa for now but will eventually have to be sent somewhere else. Seven months after Edward Snowden exposed some of this countrys deepest secrets, president obama announced the u. S. Will dramatically scale back its spying on foreign leaders. Unless there is a compelling National Security purpose, we will not monitor the communications of heads of state and government of our Close Friends and allies. He also ordered major changes to the National Security agencys blanket collection and storage of phone records, the most controversial of the Program Snowden made public. Without proper safeguards this type of program could be used to yield more information about our private lives and open the door to more intrusive bulk collection programs in the future. The president argued there was no evidence that program had been abused so far and called it a key element of the nations fight against terrorists. Being able to quickly review phone connections to assess whether a network exists is critical to that effort. Mr. Obama said the phone records will no longer be stored by the government though its not clear who can and will store them instead. The government, he said will have to get approval from a secret court to access the records, except in the case of a true emergency, but that doesnt go far enough for stock privacy advocates like kentucky senator rand paul who called it the same unconstitutional program with the new configureationconfiguration. Others worried about the impact on National Security. Tennessee senator bob corker said im concerned some of the proposals go too farly. Ing our able to protect the nation with little benefit to Civil Liberties of americans. The chairs of the intelligence committees and senate did give their approval but they said the Court Approval process for ak stoes this data is going to have to speed up. In the past they said it could take up to nine days to get approval for a single search. Anthony and vinita . Nancy cordes at the white house this morning. Thank you, nancy. And joining us now from our Washington Bureau with a closer look at what the president wants to do and reaction from congress and the Intelligence Community is cbs newszarate. Good morning, juan. Good morning, anthony. Obviously theres a delicate between protecting National Security and protecting civil yanls privacy. How well does the proposal reflect that . I think focusing on the speech and the policy directive, i think struck it fairly well. He clearly had to respond to the criticism and growing distrust of the governments collection of metadata in particular the telephone metadata but he also wanted to clearly look at the government and the access to the data. You can see from criticism from both sides he has struck a balance here. The question is whether or not how far these reforms go downstream and what it ultimate ultimately looks like. You mentioned balance. How are they responding to all these recommendations . Vinita . Initially the director of National Intelligence is supportive. He came out yesterday supporting the president s approach. Hes been directed to look at the alternatives to the metadata somewhere other than the nsa, but think theres sort of a mixed reaction among the Intelligence Community troops. Theres a sigh of relief because the programs in essence and the programs in general that the u. S. Government uses to collect mass amounts of data is still in stream. At the same time it may start to propose unilateral developments on the part of the u. S. Intelligence community. Juan, what do you think the down sides to these reforms are if any . You heard nancy talk about it a little bit, judicial process in place for analysts to actually access the telephone metadata. Thing theres a concern here that we start to build in so in layers that we start to slow the process of accessing data or blind our views of potential threats that are coming. I think the real concern here is are we creating an atmosphere where the Intelligence Community is less aggressive, not lewilling to use technology to deal with the threats facing the United States. If theres more data that the government needs to take a look at couldnt that slow things down if there ever was a terrorist attack . Absolutely, but if you look at the president s directive and the language of the speech he really accounts for this. Certainly hes alieuing the attorney general and the fisa court the ability to fashion what this looks like, and i think theyll want a very quick process to allow the analyst to get at this information. But in other cases, hes not asked for judicial review. For example the National Security letters they use to get snfgs not going to be subject to judicial process at this point, so thats good news for the Intelligence Community. Juan zarate in washington. Thank you, juan. Thank you, anthony. Bob schieffers guests will include House Intelligence Committee chairman mike rogers a republican of michigan senator mark udall, democrat of utah. Tom donleon. Three men are under arrest and could face several charges that start add camp fire that turned into a wildfire near los angeles. Its probably californias worst dry spell in a century. Carter evans is in california this morning with the latest on the fire and the drought. Good morning, carter. Reporter good morning, anthony. Containment on this fire is still at 30 , but we expect that number to rise today. Ponly about 300 residents remain under that evacuation and that red flag warning is set to expire this evening. Firefighters took advantage of reduced winds to garon an upper hand on the come by fire. As air support dropped water on hotspots on the mountainous terrain, fire crews set backfires to deprive the wildfire of fuel. What are these guys trying to essentially do . Keep the fire from establishing down at the bottom and taking off everywhere. Reporter the progress came despite summerlike temperatures. It seems like its july rather than january and these conditions are extremely different than what weve seen in the past. Reporter more than 90 of california is facing Drought Conditions leaving governor jerry brown to declare a state of emergency on friday. Its important to awaken all californians to the matter of serious drought and the lack of rain. Reporter the issue extends beyond california and all of the west including midwest where the drought is expected to continue for the next several months. Were in an unprecedented very serious situation and people should pause and reflect on how dependent we are on the rain on nature and one another. Reporter it was a combination of the extremely dry conditions and strong santa ana winds that allowed the colby fire to explode on thursday after embers from a campfire were blown nearby. Three men accused of setting the fire are now being federally charged. Theyre young men in their 20s that just didnt realize the repercussions of their actions, and now its starting to settle in. Reporter but sorry isnt good enough, and for good reason because campfires are illegal in this area right now and you can see what happens because of them. The three suspects are expected to be a rraigned in federal court early next week. Thanks carter. Freedom industry is the Company Responsible for the Chemical Spill in and around West Virginia.
