closest rival ted cruz. tonight, trump won the endorsement of former vice presidential candidate and alaska governor sarah palin, a favorite of tea party conservatives. it is the same trump who once questioned whether senator john mccain was a war hero. palin's one-time running mate and a former p.o.w.. here's major garrett. >> reporter: donald trump's endorsement from the 2008 republican vice presidential nominee was a blow to texas senator ted cruz's bid to consolidate tea party and anti-establishment support in iowa. palin backed cruz's 2012 senate bid. today, he took a conciliatory tone. >> oh, listen, i love sarah palin. sarah palin is fantastic. without her friendship and support, i wouldn't be in the senate today, and so regardless of what sarah decides to do in 2016, i will always remain a big, big fan of sarah palin. >> reporter: trump got another boost in iowa today when
brandstead said he wants to see cruz defeated. >> i know he made a big statement appreciated by many and it was amazing, actually. >> reporter: cruz accused trump of seeking republican establishment support. >> it is no surprise that the establishment is in full panic mode. we said from the beginning that the the washington cartel was going to panic more and more as conservatives unite behind our campaign. >> reporter: cruz's attacks will have a tougher time sticking with palin at trump's side. scott, trump reminded iowa republicans they haven't picked the eventual g.o.p. nominee in 16 years, adding if he doesn't win iowa, they will have picked "another loser." >> pelley: major garrett for us tonight. major, thank you. resident of flint, michigan went to the state capital in lansing today to protest tonight's state of the state address by governor rick snyder. they blame him for not cleaning up the lead that has poisoned
100,000 predominantly african american. here's adriana diaz. >> what do we want. >> reporter: governor snyder's address will have to compete with this. >> we're going to getty, snyde. >> reporter: tony palladeno and his wife, leah, were among hundreds who bordered buss from flint to the state capital. >> we are all affectd and infected by this and they need to pay for this. >> reporter: it all started back in april 2014 when flint switched from detroit water to water from the flint river to save money. within weeks, residents began complaining about the snell, taste, and appearance. a year later, the city found slightly elevated lead levels in the water but said there was no cause for alarm. then in saernght a group of doctors found that the number of children with dangerous lead levels had doubled. lean walters started noticing
delays in her kid. >> we were told by the state nurse, "it's just a few i.q. points. it's not the end of the world." >> dr. mona hanna-attica led the study on children. when you first saw the results of your study. >> right. >> reporter: what went through your mind? >> i think nigh myjaw just dropped. how could we do this? and what was most disturbing was that it was entirely preventible. >> reporter: five days after her study was released, governor rick snyder, for the first time, said publicly, "it appears that lead levels could be higher or have increased." a week later, he called for flint to go back to detroit's water system. in december, the governor's task force blasted the state department of environmental quality, which oversees water. the task force said that complaints by flint residents were met by, "aggressive dismissal, belittlement, and attempts toattempts to discredit the individuals involved." today, the governor asked state
pay for water bottles, upgrades to school plumbing, dispn a school psychologist to help with the developmental needs. scott, he'll outline that proposal tonight. >> pelley: adriana diaz at the state capitol. adrian athank you. lead poisoning is especially harmful to children, and it is irreversible. dr. jon lapook has more on this. >> reporter: the parents of children in flint, michigan have good reason to be worried. >> there's real danger that the injury is going to be permanent and lifelong in them. >> reporter: dr. philip landrigan is dean of global health at mount sinai school of medicine. he's been studying the effects of lead since the 70s. >> the problem here is that no level of lead is safe. even low levels of lead, especially if exposure to low levels continues over many months, is going to cause some degree of brain damage to at least some of the children who are exposed, and that's a big deal. >> reporter: exposed children are at risk for a number of
scores, developmental delays, and behavioral issues such as attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. even after lead exposure stops, the effects can last for years, or even be permanent. inin flint, michigan, a major challenge will be identifying which children are at risk, then track them for many years for evidence of injury. >> these children are going to be injured for life. they're going to need remedial education. they're going to need educational enrichment programs. they're kids who may be prevented from functioning at their full level. >> reporter: there are no known effective drugs to reverse the developmental damage caused by lead. something called chealation therapy can remove lead from the body, but so far it has not been helpful in treating the behavioral or neurological problems caused by lead. >> pelley: dr. jon lapook, thank you, doc. the water crisis in flint has now spilled into the presidential campaign, and nancy cordes has that.
>> reporter: hillary clinton started sounding the alarm last week, sending two top aides to flint. >> we would be outraged if this happened to white kids, and we should be outraged that it's happening right now to black kids. >> reporter: her opponent, bernie sanders, called on michigan's governor to resign over the state's slow response. >> a man who acts that irresponsibly should not stay in power. >> reporter: most of the g.o.p. candidates have been reluctant to criticize a fellow republican. >> i'm sure he will manage this appropriately. >> reporter: that was ohio's john kasich. this was donald trump: >> you know, i shouldn't be commenting on flint. >> reporter: florida's marco rubio professed ignorance. >> that's not an issue we have been focused on. >> reporter: ted cruz broke from the rest this afternoon. >> it is a failure of city officials, it is a failure of the county officials. it's a fairly of the state officials. >> reporter: democrats argued
republican candidates shows they are diskecked. republicans said it's a state issue and accused democrats of milking the crisis to score political points with the african american, scott. >> pelley: nancy cordes on the campaign. nancy, thank you. well, new hampshire will hold the first presidential primary three weeks from today, and have a look at this. in the democratic race there, sanders now leads clinton nearly two to one. the new poll out today has sanders at 60%, clinton at 33, sanders is the senator next door in the state of vermont. forecasters say 50 million people in the east could be in the path of a powerful winter storm later this week. eric fisher is the chief meteorologist at our cbs station in boston, wbz. eric, how bad might this be? >> well, scott, this could be a very significant storm up and downtown east coast. we're watching the energy that has just come ashore in the western united states, produce something rain and snow here. and it will travel across the
days. by friday we'll be watching snow dwesm dwepg across part of the midsouth, perhaps as far south as alabama and georgia and then the storm starts to wind up off the mid-atlantic coast, peaking on saturday. bands of heavy snow up and down the eastern seaboard and stretching up towards southern new england, and then very slowly moving its way eastward and out to sea. it will be a long-duration event, friday into saturday, and sunday for the eastern corridor. in blue, this is the highest impact zone when it comes to snow totals, including the philly area, d.c. suburbs, into virginia. we'll get a better idea of the totals by tomorrow but it looks like isolated amounts could be over two feet. the other thing to take into consideration we're here, have a full moon saturday, high tides, strong onshore winds. so, scott, we could see coastal surge here comparable to some tropical systems so anyone near the coast needs to watch the storm very closely. >> pelley: we'll be watching this very closely. today, the united states supreme
showdown between president obama and congress. in 2014, mr. obama bypassed congress and issued executive actions that would shield millions of illegal immigrants from deportation, such as the parents of children born in the united states. the court will decide by summer whether the president overstepped his power. the americans freed in a prisoner swap with iran have not stopped smiling. today, the "washington post" released video of reporter jason rezaian sharing laughs over an internet video. and former u.s. marine sara mae amir hekmati shared his thoughts on being freed. he had been arrested on espionage charges while visit higz family in iran. liz palmer is at the u.s. military hospital in landstuhl, germany, where the former prisoners are being treated. >> reporter: meeting reporters, amir hekmati looked relaxed and healthy. >> i thoap get home soon. i really want to see my family
>> reporter: how are you feeling yourself fill fizically now? >> right now, i feel great. i have so much energy. like i said, i feel alive for the first time. >> reporter: his sisters are with him here in germany. but he's anxious to see his father in the u.s. who is too ill to travel. freedom, says hekmati, still feels surreal. >> i send the fact that i was going to be spending 10 years in prison, so this was a surprise. i just came one morning and said, "pack your things." >> reporter: did you believe them? >> no. absolutely not. >> reporter: but it was true. and in just hours, he was on a swiss government jet. >> as soon as we got out of iranian airspace, the slam pain bottles were popped. >> reporter: hekmati, a former marine and so a high-value prisoner, spent four and a half years in iran's evin prison in dhans were nhis words, inhumane and unjust. >> i didn't want to let my
and the reputation of the marine corps, so i tried my best to, you know, keep my head up. >> reporter: scott, amir hekmati knew he could rely on support from within the military, but he was thrilled and also a little humbled when he discovered how many other people from across the u.s. and around the world had lobbied to help set him free. >> pelley: elizabeth palmer in germany furst tonight. thanks, liz. match fixing will not be tolerated at the year's first grand slam tennis tournament in australia. officials made that unusual vow after an investigation was made public that said over the years, some players had thrown matches at the behest of gamblers. don dahler is following this. >> reporter: as the australian open began, talk was about a different kind of racket. eight unidentified players competing there are on the list of suspects who allegedly threw matches.
investigative unit within the association of tennis professionals and leaked to the bbc, and buzzfeed. the a.t.p. acknowledges their investigation has discovered rigged matches going back years. but executive chairman chris kermode insists there has been no cover-up. >> tennis has invested over $14 million to address this issue of corruption, and it's constantly being reviewed. >> reporter: world number one, novak djokovic, says he was offered $200,000 in 2007 to throw a first-round match in russia. >> i was approached through people that were working with me at that time, my team, and, of course, we-- we threw it away right away. >> reporter: djokovic made $21 million last year. tennis officials say most of the players involved earned far less. more than 70 are suspected of throwing matchs. the vast majority have not and will not be disciplined because
place before an anticorruption rule was established in 2009. since 2010, the a.t.p. has disciplined 18 people, including a lifetime ban ban for five players. none of the names in the report has been made public, which top-ranked players say is a mistake. >> i would love to hear names, you know, and then at least it's concrete stuff and you can actually debate about it. >> reporter: because the a.t.p. is not a law enforcement agency, it is limited in its evidence-gathering abilitys. scott, have,s interviewed players and witnesses and analyzed betting and phone records to uncover the foul play. >> pelley: don dahler, thanks. the tax man has a warning about the con man. there are new cases of the mosquito-borne virus linked to birth defects. and the son puts on a show when the cbs even news continues.th passion. but i keep it growing by making every dollar count. that's why i have the spark cash card from capital one.

(all) no. that's why i'm reminding people if you had chickenpox then the shingles virus is already inside you. (all) oooh. who's had chickenpox? scoot over. and look that nasty rash can pop up anywhere
talk to your doctor or pharmacist. about a vaccine that can help prevent shingles. listen up! i'm here to get the lady of the house back on her feet. and give her the strength and energy to stay healthy. who's with me?! yay! the complete balanced nutrition of great tasting ensure. with 9 grams of protein and 26 vitamins and minerals. ensure. take life in! thousands of people came out today to run the race for retirement. so we asked them... are you completely prepared for retirement? okay, mostly prepared? could you save 1% more of your income? it doesn't sound like much, but saving an additional 1% now, could make a big difference over time. i'm going to be even better about saving. you can do it, it helps in the long run. prudential bring your challenges >> pelley: today, illinois
