And an update now on a story we brought you tuesday. Help may be on the way for all the families of those 19 hotshot firefighters killed in arizona in june. Many of them feared they would be left with nothing after the tragedy because of a city policy. Carter evans is in los angeles. Carter, good morning. Good morning, norah and anthony. On wednesday surviving family members got good news that Arizona State<\/a> legislators are drafting a proposal that would offer fulltime Employee Benefits<\/a> to all members of the hotshots. On the same day the loan survivor finally broke out about the tragedy that led to the death of his friends. When the yarnell fire scorched more than 8,000 acres of arizona wilderness, it claimed the lives of 19 Granite Mountain<\/a> hotshots. At the time their families were assured their families would be taken care of. But more than a month after the tragedy, one of the widows said the city of prescott is not keeping the promise. Its a terrible tragedy and the bigger tragedy is the people that can make it right arent making it right. Reporter juy an ashcraft is 24 years old. Shes now raising four children on her own. The 13 families were denied because their relatives were considered seasonal employees. You work fulltime hours, he had fulltime responsibility fulltime salary. There is no way that i can fathom how the city is justifying him as seasonal or parttime. Arizona announced a draft bill that would grand fulltime state benefits to any First Responder<\/a> who dies on state land. The bill is retroactive to the 30th meaning the new bill would apply to the fallen hotshots and their families. Among ashcraft supporters is 21yearold brendan mcdon nan, the only survivor of the blaze. Please support these families. Reporter in an interview mcdonagh also described for the first time the final moments that led to the deaths of his 19 friends. He was their lookout on that fateful day. As i looked back to see how theyre doing, i turned around and i could already see the wind had shifted. Reporter he knew his friends were trapped once they were deploying their fire shelters. Thats the last time i heard my superintendents voice. I was crushed. Mentally and emotionally. Reporter five weeks after the fire mcdonagh and the family left behind our hopeful. The state of arizona will follow through with its promise to make the ultimate sacrifice. I want a result for all families. If the senators with working together to make it right, bless them. If the state of arizona does end up awarding lifetime benefits to seasonal First Responder<\/a>s it raises the question of how it might affect communities in other areas that also employ parttime and seasonal First Responder<\/a>s. Anthony and norah . Carter efrps. Thanks, carter. We have new information how small cars hold up in crashes. They released its first ever findings from what they call a small overlap front test. 12 cars were evaluated. Only half earn add safety rating of good or acceptable. John is a senior analyst. Good morning. Good morning. First of all, what were we seeing . What is it simulating . A 45mileanhour collision with a 5foottall barrier and the corner where it does not come into impact with the mainframe rails of the car. This tested small cars for the first time. What did we find out . Half the cars as anthony said did not pass by a marginal rating. Should we be alarmed by that john . Not at all. Overall the cars are safe. This is the ihh warting to test cars more regularly. Why was this just the first time that theyve done this . Again, they saw a spike in automotive fatalities in 2012 which theyve attributed to distract the driver. This is the first time, right . Weve never seen one before. I think thats fascinating that you think that you think its because of distracted driving. Texting and talking on the phone. That certainly has spiked it. I think when you consider this kind of test is one that might be associated with that kind of driving behavior meandering or hitting a pole. Even half that got poor or moderate ratings do you think the Car Companies<\/a> are going to make any design changes . Absolutely. The automotive makers are really good at this. If your car has not done well in this test should you be concerned . I wouldnt have be concerned at all. Why not. Because its the the car is essentially safe. Theyre just looking at trying to make it that much safe wher they see an area getting more impacts than it might not have gotten. A lot of people like small cars because theyre more fuel resistant. Thats the balance that they look at. Do we need to be concerned here that weve got the beginning of a trend here in terms of fatalities . I think it all comes down to driving behavior. I think we all have to understand if youre behind the wheels of a car, eyes on the road, not on your cell phone. More than 16 years ago Johns Hopkins<\/a> researchers took cells from henrietta lax. If you dont know the story, you should. The cells were used for medical breakthroughs but without her consent. Terrell brown reports on that story and terrell is with us. Good morning. Good morning to you. Henrietta lax cells have been used for more than six decades and she and her family were never asked for permission now. Theyre getting a say in how those cells were used. In 1951 she came to Johns Hopkins<\/a> hospital for cervical cancer. They took some of her cells and found they could survive in lab. It was something that had never bun done before. It was something that could grow forever. Reporter they were used to discover the polio vaccine and help with aids and cancer. Theyve saved millions of lives. This is everywhere. But lax, poor and uneducated died in the hospital and the scientists took the cells without her consent. Her familys fight to control its use was chronicled in the bestseller the immortal life of henrietta lax. It will be made into a movie. Now 62 years later the National Institutes<\/a> of health is giving them the final say. It will be approved by a panel with two lax family Panel Members<\/a> on it. This is the first time for someone to consider the family. He hopes it will host a shift in science. Lets say may i, explain it and give the person a chance to say yes or no. They also said in order to find cures, patients need to provide the type of information that was taken from help rita lax. The family wont receive any financial gains from this new agreement. Its such a fascinating a story. They took it without her concept. Yet her cells and the growth of those have saved millions of lives. So many break throughs. Were so glad. Thank you.

If you think your bank charges a lot of fees youre right. A new study shows the average Checking Account<\/a> as 30 separate fees. Dawn kopecky covers banking for the bloomberg news. Good morning. Good morning. First of all, why the fees . Theyre not making as much money as they used to. They have to hold more reserves so federal regulators are requiring them to hold more money. Interest rates are so low, theyve been so low for so long that their Profit Margins<\/a> on lending are at historic lows right now and so they have to find new avenues for revenue. But the four biggest banks just reported massive profit jumps. They did. They did. Part of that is because of mortgage lending because rates were so low for so long their mortgage fee revenue has jumped because of refinancings, but thats going down right now. Theyre also not making as much. Those profit numbers you saw, a lot of that wasnt real money. It was accounting adjustments. So the real cash coming in. The reliable money is fee rev new from customers like you and i. Whats the fee that hits the consume ter hardest . The hardest hit is the overdraft fee, 35 on an account. If you go to walmart or write a check and theres not enough money, the bank will cover that but theyll charge you 35. So this could be like a 4 transaction at starbucks and you get charged and its 35. Wow. So if youre signing up for a new bank account or you currently have one what should you can ask about what kind of fees youre being charged . You have to opt in to these overdraft protection but its kind of tricky and a lot of consumers dont read the fine print. If you dont ask for it youre automatically enrolled. You can opt out but when you go to swipe your debit card youll be charged for that particular coverage of the overdraft. One tricky fee is if you dont have enough in your Checking Account<\/a> and you have it in your savings account, a lot of banks are charging you 10 to transfer. Its your own money, but theyre limited. Theyre also limited in the types of fees they can charge and because of that theyve been coming up with new ways to find money. All right.

Im hoping that my house is still oklahoma because we left. People in the midwest are cleaning up. Other parts of the nation are dealing with extreme flooding. Clearly something serious is going on in yemen. For a third day in a row there are reports of an american drone strike. Signals that u. S. russian relations are no long never that period of reset. Snowdens case was important because from a u. S. Standpoint this was like an intelligence defector. This is the lottery counter where one of the three powerball Winning Ticket<\/a>s were won.

Gayle king is on assignment and charlie rose is off. The fire threatened several communities this morning. 1,500 residents have been told to evacuate. Ben tracy is about 35 miles east of los angeles. Good morning. Reporter anthony norah, good morning. Weve been standing here for about 90 minutes and weve seen the fires tear around us. This fire spreads for miles. This fire began yesterday around 2 00 and it went from 300 acres to 5,000 acres in just a matter of hours. Its now consumed more than 1,500 acres. Three people have been injured including two firefighters. Theyve had to evacuate seven small towns and heavy smoke has drifted into nearby palm springs. Firefighters have a very tough day ahead of them. This is a horribly windy part of Southern California<\/a> even on a good day and if those winds start picking up 35 40mileanhour gusts, thats going to make this fire more erratic than it already is. Anthony, norah, as of this morning, as of this hour no known cause for this fire. The scene behind ben is extraordinary and its amazing how fast it can spread. Well continue to watch that. Thank you.

The talks were postponed. Its not the first time the super power relations have gone sour. Margaret brennan is at the state department. Good morning. Reporter good morning to you again anthony and norah. This decision again, to cannes settle this meeting is the first time the american president has call off a pub lookly announced sitdown with russia. This snub signals that obamas attempts to reset relations has hit pause. Improving u. S. Public relations was one of president obamas top Foreign Policy<\/a> goals when he came to office. Its difficult to forge a Lasting Partnership<\/a> between former adversaries. Its hard to change habits that have been ingrained in our governments and bureaucracies for decades. Thats why ive called for a resets in the relations between United States<\/a> and russia. That started with an actual molk reset button which Hillary Clinton<\/a> handed her russian counterpart. We tried to get this right. Did we . You got this wrong. We got it wrong. Russian president Vladimir Putin<\/a> played the strong man in public and in private. He refused to budge in negotiations with obama on syria, arms reduction, and missile defense. Meanwhile the two countries continue to spy on each other. President obama blamed it on outdated thinking. There have been times where theyve flipped backing into a cold war thinking and mentality. What i consistently say to them and to president putin, thats the past. That complicate relationship heated up during the cold war. They tried to manage tension and spot the spread of con nichl. Mr. Gorbachev, tar down this wall wall. Little changed. Things seemed to start off well when Vladimir Putin<\/a> entered office. George w. Bush said he trusted him after just one meeting i was able to get a sense of his soul. Bush later said putin changed. Conflict and mutual distrust rose again. Piper said u. S. Still sees russia as an adversary. It still looks as a competitor and part of this gets back to the image of a super power. If you want to be a super power, you have to set yourself up against someone. Its not going to be italy or france. Its going to be the it stax. That will test whether they can find any points of agreement. Theyll discuss arms reduction and the civil war in sire ya. Margaret brennan. Thanks. The pga tournament has teed off this morning.

Jim nantz of cbs sports is at the Oak Hill Country<\/a> club. Hell lead the coverage of the play by play. Good morning. Good morning, anthony. Good morning, norah. Theres a lost of questions here. This course is soft and ripe for low scoring and tiger i suspect will take advantage of it. He tees off in about 30 minutes. He comes off that big win in bridgestone. Can he win this major . Of course he can win it but people need to gear down because of expectations. Just because he won before. This marks the eighth time hes won in his previous tournament to entering major. In the seven previous times, it was not with major. I dont think that translates to a victory here. There are a lot of guys poised to play well including Phil Mickelson<\/a>. He claims hes playing the best golf of his age. Is that amazing . It is. Two in a row would be major. If he wins hell be player of the year in golf. No ones talking about it. Phil mickelson would be the player of the year. There are other guys. Justin rose. He should play well here and adam scott at the open champions, he came closer to winning than tiger did on that occasion. Again, we wrap it up around most of the time uj one guy. That doesnt netly mean hes going to win at oak hill. What is it that he almost forgot to register . It sounds more complex than it is. Thankly theres a few small hiccups. I mentioned that with phil. He got in a little accident great little up to pittsburgh outside of unand put it all behind us. If you dont triumph here you have to wait until the next maejer so you gear your whole year around these four big events and i think theres such an added emergency. This is a american classic, donald ross history. I think its a major setting. Yeah.

Good morning. Good morning. Any opportunity to have more chocolate is always a golden opportunity. I think most of us think. So what exactly has this study found. I was glad we finally had a study that wasnt telling us that broccoli is better for us but what the study found is that drinking cocoa actually helped improve blood flow to the brap and our brain even though it weighs just about two pounds takes up 25 of the oxygen, the blood, the glucose. So its a very powerful organ. Youre a neurologist. What does the cocoa do to the brain . What it does is improves the blood flow to your brain. Your brain is like a car, a highimportance car. Is it sugar or flavonoid . Flavonoid. How did they figure this out. In this study they looked at people in their 60s and 70s, all of them who had high Blood Pressure<\/a> and diabetes. It improved based on ultra sounds they did. Does this have a greater benefit for older people . It has more benefit for people who have disease in their blood vessel because peoples who blood vessel ss change they dont need the help but we dont know its the flavonoid. Its in the cocoa. Its still in study. Let me ask you this. For people who are diet conscious, are there other flavonoids . Sure. Apples blueberries are good for you and exercise. Any kind of aerobic exercise increases blood flow to your brain. Thats what they do increase the blood flow to your brain. My favorite part of this is you said my brain is a ferrari. All right.

It doesnt make sense to give up a great job that pays a lot of money and have a lot of satisfaction for myself just to walk away from that. You were voted the most likely to succeed. You went to yale pen law school. You were on that track, full time. Full bore. Does it bother you . I think about it for a little bit and i love what im doing for right now. You do. I do.

Good morning to all of you. Good morning. So great to have you here. Sheila, let me start with you. Yowl said you made the right decision. Do you regret it . I dont regret it at all. Im very fortunate. Many women dont have the opportunity. Im grateful. I could have donees things differently but im glad i stayed back home. Why are you opting back in . It varies. Theres no one real answer for that that. One was going through a divorce. One is look act college for their kids. The economy, youre not making as much money as you used to. It varies. Its very personal. Lesliesleylesley, you did this story ten years ago. All these women with degrees. Astonishing. Huge salaries to stay at home. Why did you do the piece at the time . I guess i was shaked. We would we fought so hard and wouldnt have gich up and i guess i saw it as giving up. I tried very hard not to be judgment mental while i was doing it sheila but it was hard. I wanted these women to find a way to enenjoy both. The other thing is these women were the countrys potential leaders.

They were feeling guilty if they stayed at home. Guilty at work. They were just glty. Whats have interesting is whats going to happen with the next one.

This is what strikes me as i read all this, whats going on and certainly eek nom imageny its different from ten years ago. You know the pressures are so much greater now. Both in making it possible but also finding johns for these win. Thats rt the thing. Most women i talked to thought theyd go back. Getting a job after being out for five ten years, thats huge.

You say when youre at home in the New York Times<\/a>, you said your selfimage plummeted. Yu felt like a loser. Why . It was all timing. It was a very tumultuous year.
