Julianna, good morning. Good morning. The president didnt talk when he met with democratic donors but he did say he understands the americans are anxious about the growing threat of isis and he acknowledged its dangerous time in the middle east. President obama was in new york and rhode island raising money for fellow democrats, but back home his administration was playing defense. The point the president made was thats putting the cart before the horse. The president hasnt yet laid out its specific plan for military action in syria. A day after the president said that he doesnt have a strategy yet for confronting isis in syria, White House Press secretary josh earnest is waiting for his defense secretary to present a plan. There are some who would probably make the case its okay not to have a forral comprehensive strategy but s one pundit suggested, we should drop some bombs and see what happens. That is not what the president believes is a smart approach. Echoing that message, john kirby said the Defense Department doesnt have binders full of plans ready for any moment. They conually refine and change and update planning options for potential military activity. It is an ongoing effort. The u. S. Military campaign against isis is so far limited to iraq. But the pro is considering expanding the mission to syria where this week we ordered surveillance flights. Hes also considering a diplomatic force sending secretary of state john kerry to the middle east. The president has had more than a year to develop a strategy against isis. What we really need is president ial leadership. If the president decides to pursue a more robust response to isis, both republicans and democrats are calling for a debate in congress and a vote to authorize the use of force. Adding to the pressure anthony, intelligence officials tell cbs news nearly a dozen americans have gone to syria to fight alongside the terror group. Julianna goldman in washington. Thank you, julianna. Briton has raised its Terror Threat level to severe the second highest on its scale, meaning it believes an attack is, quote, highly likely. British Security Forces are preparing for the possibility that some of the young men from the uk fighting with isis also known as isil could return home to launch an attack. At the moment theres no information to suggest an attack in the uk is imminent but Prime Minister David Cameron issued a warning. What were facing in iraq now with isil is a greater and deeper threat to our security than we have known before. Cameron said new laws will be introduced the allow Security Services to confiscate the passports of people traveling to join isis or they could even revoke their citizenship while theyre abroad so they cant come home. Now to the growing crisis in crew ukraine. The military government says thousands of troops are now in the country and russian tanks have destroyed every house in one small town. The rebels in Eastern Ukraine have also managed to push Government Forces out of a strategic town. European leaders are meeting today to discuss increasing sanctions against russia. Elizabeth palmer is in our London Bureau with more. Good morning. Good morning. Well, more than 2,000 people have been killed in what began as a small independent uprising but has quickly become a fullfledged independence battle. The Ukrainian Government says as you mentioned, vinita there are now several thousand Russian Troops on its soil. Ukraines acting prts Petro Poroshenko was in russia hoping to get support from his european ail lice. So far all theyve been able to do is strengthen sanctions against russia. Meanwhile they have opened a new front near ukraines southern border with russia. They showed reporters the Ukrainian Border guards they captured and locked up in a garage. One of them said two of his fellows had been killed in ambush. Those carrying guns here are ukrainian rebels but nato believes theyre being given Russian Military equipment. Yesterday shaky cell phone footage showed a tank suspected to be russian in the area and navel tanks including artillery and troop carriers. As for president putin, hes sticking to the line. If there are russians in the soviet ukraine its a mistake. The border isnt well marked and its easy to get lost. It adds up to a chilling picture not only for europe and the west scrambling to find a way to stop the russian incursion but also to the local population who find themselves caught up in a fight they didnt see coming and certainly dont want. The root cause of this conflict is ukraines decision to draw closer to europe and the west. What were really watching is russias determination to stop that from happening. Thoents anthony .

Reporter this week all up and down the Southern California coast, lifeguards have raced to save hundreds of swimmers and surfers. With swells as high as two stories, these waves are some of the biggest to pound the region in almost 20 years. The surf was so big that we were keeping people out of the water in some cases. Reporter ever since the massive waves first roared ashar, lifeguards like Chris Linkletter have warned beachgoers to beware. What sort of dangers exist in the waves . Rip current, lateral current, and, of course the big surf. If you do get stuck in a rip current, youll get pulled out and thats a very dangerous situation. But for thrillseeking surfers, the danger is the draw. Pretty exhilarating definitely. Alec is one of the handful of giant wachbs in newport beach. It gets very dangerous especially when its so shallow. When people come to the beach, they need to be aware of the conditions we want them to check in with the lifeguard prior to going in the water.

Emergency responders dug her out on friday. She was unconscious and not breathing. The girl was taken to the hospital but could not be revived. Such a sad story. They said as they were digging the sand out, the sand was coming back in. Very sad story. Nascar driver tony stewart will be back on the track this weekend. He missed three races since he struck and killed another driver on the track in new york earlier this month. Stewart broke his silence about the incident on friday. This has been one of the toughest tragedies ive ever had to deal with. Tony stewart was in seeclusion since the new york race in which he hit and killed driver kevin ward. Video seems to report ward pointsing to stewart after the spinout. Others missed him but stewart hit him. I know the pain on the morning that kevin wards family and friends are experiencing something i cant possibly imagine. Every day im thinking about them and praying for them. Reporter the threetime nascar championship has a reputation of being one of racings toughest drivers with the toughest temper. There was number of that this day. I understand all of you have many questions and want a lot of answers, hour i need to respect the Ongoing Investigation process. Reporter stewarts team said he sent flowers and a card to wards family but has not spoken with them. A week after the accident nascar adopted new rules prohibiting drivers from exhibiting their car after an ontrack accident unless theres danger. Nascar has changed the rules. Good idea or bad idea . Good idea. But they wont abide by it. You cant enfor it on the track. If they get mad, theyre going to get out. Reporter investigators will decide whether theyll charge stewart. Nascar has decided he can compete in the championship but hell have to win one of the next two races. Hearst failure affects 26 Million People worldwide but this morning researchers are reporting what could be a major breakthrough for treating the condition. Its a twiceaday pill calleded lzc696 developed by the swiss fafrm suit cal giant novartis. It can significantly reduce death from heart failure. It was the largest study ever conducted, a study that was stopped early because the pill proved so effective in testing. Its already been approved by the food drug administration. California has sent to the legislator that would be a law the first of its kind aimed at reducing Sexual Assaults on sexual advances. Its called the yes means yes law as terryi okita reports. Reporter she learned no was not enough when she was raped by a fellow student. I said no numerous times but after a while i stopped saying anything at all. I dont think had i said no name times versus the eight times that i did, so i just stopped talking and that could technically be used against me without this affirmative consent bill. Is unique because it requires an affirmative conscious and voluntary agreement before students have sex. The legislation also says a lack of resistance or silence cannot be interpreted as a yes. Ultimately whether its yes means yes or no means no its going to still be a he said she said. Thats always going to be a concern. But what i can say is the a survivor goes to a dmoit tee hearing and says i was so scared i didnt say anything at all. Before the affirmative consent, that could have meant you were consenting. This defense attorney thinks the post law is confusing and would make little difference. The more chances you give a Sexual Assault victim to talk and tell her story in different ways to different problems the more you create a defiance. They say they could provide a consistent standard that susnt currently in place. Colleges and universities will also have to improve their Sexual Assault programs. Earlier this week we first learned that jpmorgan chase, americas largest bank may have been the victim of a cyber attack. The latest report indicates the bank is still investigating whether its Computer Systems were hacked whileits depositors are left to worry. It looks like this began way back in june . Thats what it looks like. Basically what happened is they went through one of their normal consumerfacing websites. You know, basically picking the lock of the front door of the bank in cyberspace. Once inside they unleashed what appears to be custommade software. This is an extremely advanced attack is what youre saying. Right, right. I compare it to the oceans eleven of cyber attacks. Its not a smash and grab. People that knew what the inside of the banks Technology Infrastructure looked like, knew where to go and they basically tunnelled into, you know various data sources and began slowly siphoning out data over the period of about two months. Jpmorgan discovered it earlier this month. What about jpmorgan though. They sthad were going to protect their customers. What can they do if theyve already spent the money . Jamie dimon, president of jpmorgan has talked about this a lot. Its been a big worry of his. Theyve beefed up security. They have about a thousand people working on it. He said, look this is an issue they deal with just about every day. Obviously someones always always trying to steal someones identity. Sometimes the bad guys going to win. It doesnt appear like any money was taken but there was a lot of data taken out of the bank. The size and scope is still unfolding. Its not clear exactly how much. When you think of jpmorgans customers, its not just grandmas bank account. Its mutual funds, hedge funds. And there may be as many as four banks involved. The possibility of a connection with the russian government has been raised. How likely is that . I wouldnt want to they but this occurred right when relationships were deteriorating, sanctions were issued against russia. They probably would have started grabbing money as quickly as they can. You know the level of sophistication of the attack again, it all sort of points to like a very organized if not statesponsored then even more alarmingly more i organized or criminal group. A reminder for all of us to change our passwords. It times to show you some of this mornings headlines. The fatd of more than a dozen abortion clinics is now up in the air, this after a federal judge ruled the states tough new abortion restrictions are unconstitutional. The judge took provision over a prevision. He said the requirement for so many clinics to close it would create an undue burden on women. Texas says it will appeal.
