7:01 am
>> the man carjacked by the boston bombing suspects breaks his silence. >> the chinese immigrant helped lead police. >> i was just running as fast as i can. i never looked back. >> seven americans were killed when a cargo plane crashed in afghanistan. this video appears to show the 747 going down after it took off from air base on monday. >> my brother loved flying. what he loved more than flying was his wife of only two weeks. girls as young as 15 will soon be able to buy the morning after pill without a prescription. the fda has approved over-the-counter sales. >> guantanamo is not necessary to keep americans safe. it needs to be closed. >> to make sure it closes quickly they are turning it to blockbuster video. >> a wild and dangerous police
7:02 am
pursuit. and venezuela life after hugo chavez is turning to chaos. shutup, all right. >> usually a shotgun is enough for a successful robbery but not for this guy who just got it taken from him. >> and all that matters. do you have the juice to get the rest of the agenda for congress? >> if you put it that way maybe i need to pack up and go home. >> on cbs this morning. a guy playing toss the ball game at a carnival lost his entire life savings. h> it has been one tough week for tim tebow. >> this morning's eye opener is presented by prudential. this morning's "eye opener" presented by welcome to "cbs this morning." >> john miller has a big
7:03 am
interview today. >> we begin with the man taken hostage. investigators believe he was among the last victims of the tsarnaev brothers. >> the man we are calling danny gave his first television interview to john miller. >> i thought it was just a robbery. he took out his gun, pointed it to me and said something like you know i'm serious. don't be stupid. >> did he say anything about what else they had done that night? >> he asked me a question like do you know the boston explosion on monday? i said yes. and then, i did that and i just killed a policeman. >> and when they are speaking in russian, do you understand any of the words in their conversation? >> i only heard one word, it is manhattan. >> manhattan. did it seem like they were going
7:04 am
there? >> it seemed like they were going to new york because he asked me a lot of questions like can your car go out of the state. he said can your car go out of state like new york. i think they were trying to go to new york. >> we'll have much more on john's interview ahead. first we want to talk about the intelligence community response to the attack. john is a former fbi assistant director. good morning. >> good morning. >> was enough intelligence shared in your opinion? >> they were aware of each other's requests. they got the same information from the russians which was practically nothing. the fbi did a field investigation. so the answer to that would be it is very interesting yesterday to see as the president's press conference he didn't order do
7:05 am
this review. he announced or the question was is it true that you have ordered this review and why did you do it? because it suggests that the white house might think something is wrong. the president says this is standard. when we have an attack on u.s. soil or the times square attempted bombing or underwear bombing i see is there anything we learned from it. >> if the dni finds something was lacking, what happens next? >> well, that is the really interesting part. i was deputy assistant director of national intelligence. i was put in charge of the segment of the review of the underwear bombing suspect to see did we miss something? why didn't the information find each other? in the end we came up with recommendations. the law says it is the leader of the u.s. intelligence community, all 16 agencies.
7:06 am
on page two of the law there is a fine print that says but they cannot order the director of any agency to do anything so basically he can politely recommend changes but has no teeth. so they are going to changes here it is going to come from the white house. chilling video appears to document a disaster as it happens. a cargo plane crashed at an airport base in afghanistan monday. seven were killed. the tragedy may have been captured on video by a car driving by. mark phillips joins us now. >> the dashboard mounted camera appears to have captured the crash. it seems to show the plane, a boeing 747 stall and then fall out of the sky. a word of warning, this video isn't authenticated although it appears to have been taken at the time of the crash and what it shows may be upsetting.
7:07 am
the video appears to show the civilian cargo plane attempting to take off about 40 miles north of kabul. the aircraft stalls and suddenly begins to lose altitude crashing within the base's perimeter. all seven crew members on board were killed. six of the victims were from michigan and one from kentucky. >> i love my brother more than anything. if i could trade places with him so that he could be with his family i would in a heart beat. >> reporter: the plane, a cargo version of the 747 was bound for dubai carrying vehicles and supplies. >> it seems to be traveling slower than typical. >> reporter: captain sully says there was nothing the pilots could have done to prevent the crash. >> with the nose of the airport at a very high angle and the
7:08 am
speed decreasing that puts you at risk for a stall of the wing at which at some point it becomes unrecoverable if you are too close to the ground. >> reporter: at first the taliban claimed responsibility but a nato spokesperson says the claims were false and there were no signs of missiles being flown at the plane. the accident is being investigated by afghan authorities with the help of the ntsb. national airlines, the orlando, florida company could not verify the authen tisity of the video says the ntsb is charged with investigating the crash and determining cause and we anticipate the ntsb will study the video as part of that process. having video of an accident like this is going to be extremely helpful particularly when they are able to pair it up with the cockpit voice recorder.
7:09 am
you combine these things they will understand exactly what happens. >> planes flying normally take off at more extreme angles in order to gain altitude before they leave the relative safety of the air space. one theory is the plane may have lost power during the climb or that the cargo may have shifted to the rear and the pilots didn't have enough air speed or altitude to recover it. and girls as young as 15 will soon be able to walk into any drugstore and buy a controversial morning after pill called plan b one step. on tuesday the food and drug administration gave the go ahead to make it available. this decision by the fda is essentially a political compromise that has people on both sides of the issue unhappy. plan b one-step is a morning after pill that can prevent
7:10 am
pregnancy. until now it was available under 17 by prescription. a new decision allows people 15 and older to buy it off the shelf. that concerns groups like the family research council. >> we know that the adolescent brain hasn't reached full maturity. >> planned parenthood while applausing the fda's decision says it does not go far enough. women must show i.d. to prove they are at least 15 years old before they can buy it. >> it would be great if we can move to no age restriction. >> reporter: that can be the case. earlier this month a federal judge ruled the fda must make the drug available to anyone who wants it of any age. if the ruling stands buying the drug could be as simple as buying aspirin or toothpaste. in 2011 when secretary blocked a similar request to make the drug
7:11 am
available, president obama gearing up for reelection said this. >> she could not be confident that a 10-year-old or an 11-year-old going to a drugstore should be able to buy a medication that potentially if not used properly can have an adverse effect. >> obama administration officials say they have not yet decided to appeal the federal judge's ruling. so for now this issue is up in the air. it is not clear how it will be resolved. >> thank you. and this should point out this is not a medication prescribed for terminating pregnancies. my understanding is that plan b prevents ovulation. there is a distinction there. >> important distinction. president obama leaves tomorrow for a three-day visit
7:12 am
to mexico and costa rica. he held a wide ranging news conference. >> reporter: good morning. 100 days into his second term the president was reminded that he hasn't had a lot of legislative success. the gun bill has failed. the sequester appears to stay and immigration reform is still alive only because the president has largely stayed out of it. the way the question was put to him yesterday, you still have the juice to get anything done. with congress out of session republicans were out of position to respond as the president charged that the lack of progress on big issues is the fault of members of congress unable to look beyond reelection. >> their base thinks that compromise is somehow a betrayal. they are worried about primaries. and i understand all of that. >> reporter: some democrats have expressed concern about the implementation of the president's signature health
7:13 am
care bill. >> if you have health insurance then that part of obama care that effects you is pretty much already in place. and that's about 85% of the country. >> reporter: but the president's confidence in his ability to continue to accomplish his agenda stretched all the way to an unfulfilled campaign promise to 2008, the declaration to close the prison camp at guantanamo bay, cuba. is it any surprise that they would prefer death rather than have no end in sight to their confinement? >> it is not a surprise to me that we have problems in quan t guantana guantanamo. i am going to go after this. this is not something in the best interest of the american people. and it is not sustainable. >> reporter: closing guantanamo would be as they say around here
7:14 am
a very heavy lift. many democrats and all republicans oppose it. it would be almost impossible to remove the obstacles congress has already put into place. >> thanks. john dickerson is in washington. good morning. we are at the 100-day mark of the second term. does the president have the juice to push his agenda? >> that is the way it was put in that press conference. the president bristled at that framing of the question because he argues there is another actor here, too. it is not just about his juice but also about congress. it is more like asking if you have enough gasoline in the car. that is important but it doesn't matter if the engine in the car is broken. his argument is that congress because of the structure and increased use of the filibuster means he doesn't have an engine that he can work with. that is what he is trying to explain. >> what did you make of the
7:15 am
overall tone of the press conference? >> it was kind of resigned. all presidents have complained about the outside expectations put on them. lbj said being president was like being a donkey in a hail storm. you have to take it some of the time. we have expectations people want the president to be a super hero kind of. he was reasoning with with the reporters explaining why there are these obstacles in congress as opposed to another route, bold persistive experimentation, trying anything. what that does is instead of reasoning and explaining why congress isn't working it suggests the president is doing everything possible sot that people look at congress and say why aren't they working as hard as this guy is. >> we know that, for example, the president always has budget issues. we know immigration reform is at the top of his list. where will he focus his energy? >> i think those two things. health care is really important. if you think about the
7:16 am
president's legacy one of the things he has to do in the remaining second term is make sure that big legacy item, health care, continues and gets implemented and survives. because if the other two issues the budget and immigration fall health care will be the thing that he will be able to point to and say i was able to do what all of my predecessors were not able to do. so there is some protection going on here in addition to trying to do the other two big things. >> thank you. and president obama says he is no rush to take military action in syria but last night administration officials said the president is considering sending weapons to syrian rebels. >> reporter: good morning. there seems to be mixed messages coming from the white house. syrian opposition members say they know of no plans to arm these syrian rebels on the ground but we are also hearing that president obama seemed to indicate in his press conference yesterday that the use of chemical weapons has not been
7:17 am
explored enough and that it raises more questions really than it answers. >> what we now have is evidence that chemical weapons have been used inside of syria but we don't know how they were used, when they were used, who used them. we don't have a chain of custody that establishes what exactly happened. >> reporter: as the president spoke more video emerged online of people claiming to have been exposed to chemical weapons. as with all such claims thus far they are impossible to verify. that has not stopped panic from spreading inside syria where fears of a large scale chemical attack are growing. in a letter attained by margaret brennan, the leader of the free syrian army asked president obama for support from the u.s. in dealing with the threat of chemical weapons. and warned that the costs of
7:18 am
inaction. i respect to you that assad is not taking your carefully phrased con demnations as warnings but as loopholes which justify his continued use of chemical weapons on a small strategic scale. >> by game changer i mean that we would have to rethink the range of options that are available to us. >> the president would not be drawn on what those options might be but suggestions have included arming moderate factions of the rebellion or enforcing a no fly zone. yesterday the leader of the lebanese shiite organization which the u.s. view as a terrorist organization warn the rebels that they have no hope of defeating assad military because assad has quote real friends. >> thanks.
7:19 am
it's the first day of may but parts of the country feel like january. this is the sce scene around de this morning. >> it was 93 degrees in lubbock, texas tuesday. similar extremes are expected in denver and minneapolis. jeff, what happened to spring? >> winter did not just want to let go. let's take a look at the jet stream diving to the south. 80s and 90s yesterday being replaced by temperatures in the 20s and 30s. by the way april the fifth snowiest april on record over the last 47 years in terms of area of snow cover. we have plenty of heavy snow around denver. we are going to see as much as six inches in the foothills of the rockies. minneapolis getting in on the action. the heaviest snowfall total ever

7:33 am
they wasted no time finding danny, telling them who they were and what they had done. >> they asked me a question. they said you know the boston explosion on monday? i said yes. he said, i just did that and i killed a policeman in cambridge. >> what does he do to show you he's serious? >> he show ejected the magazine his handgun, showing me the magazine. so he did it very expertly, you know, very fast. >> so he showed him the handgun. what are you thinking at the time? are you thinking, i'm going to live, i'm going to die? ing. >> i drnlt think i was going to die. i thought they even going to ask me not just for money but they're going ask me for something else. probably take my car, kidnap me

ads a hostage and do something really, really bad. >> you're naul the car. >> i didn't turn around to look but i could hear. tamerlan had my key. he opened the trunk and they moved like four or five packages from their car to my car. >> did you have any idea then what you know now, which is they were filling your car with bo bombs? >> i didn't know it was bombs. i thought it was luggage to try to leave, go further, go skomplace else because the boston police already have some pictures. >> and when they're speaking in russian, do you understand any of the words in their conversation? >> i only heard one word. it's "manhattan." >> manhattan. >> yeah. >> did it seem like they were going there? >> yeah. it seemed like they were going to new york.
7:35 am
they asked me a lot of questions like are you -- can your car go out of state? i asked them, what do you mean. they said, can your car go out of state like new york? i thought they were trying to go to new york at this time. >> but then his suv didn't have enough gas in the tank to get the new york. the brothers needed to find a gas station. >> and do they finally find a gas station to fill it up? >> yeah. they finally find gas station in cambrid cambridge, so i saw that as my last challenge to run. i already had a plan in mind. when we got to the gas station, dzhokhar got out of the car. he took my credit card, trying to pump using my credit card. the problem is it was cash only so tamerlan asked him to pay. >> so he has to go in the store. you think this is your chance. >> this is my chance.

7:44 am
airports along some interesting criteria. the only airport that came up close was cincinnati at number 30, and the irony there, charlie, is the reason why cincinnati scored well is because it's uncrowds. and the reason it's uncrowded is because of airline mergers and consolidations. now it's down to about 200, so that will give you an idea how it ranks higher because it's uncrowded. >> what leads to the question that american airports don't measure up? >> it's difficult. you can't expand laguardia. you can't expand the footprint of so many airports. when you think about it, the united states hasn't had a new airport in many, many years. i think we're stuck with what we've got, and the real key is the criteria used for this survey has to be expanded to include the basics that travelers really want, not the creature comforts like restaurants or shopping at
7:45 am
airports. let's face it. do we want to move in to the aifrp airpo airport? we want to get to the airport and get through the airport and move on. at l.a.x., they're spending $624,000 to move it 250 feet north to accommodate the a-380 room to taxi. >> the president yesterday was saying in order to prevent these furloughs, the air traffic controllers and the delays, that they in essence shifted money that was for long-term improvements. >> the question was what was that money going to be used for anyway. the real question is access to the airport, mass transit opportunities and basically how you get out of the airport. i always laugh when i see rocking chairs at the airport.
7:46 am
they may look cute but what's the message they're sending you? you're going to be there a while. >> you say they don't measure up because, a, they're old, haven't been built. are there any other richardsons and what can american airports do given that fact? >> well, if you look at the survey, the top five airports that they ranked, four of them were in

good morning, charlie, gayle and everybody. it's 8:00 a.m. in the west. welcome back to "cbs this morning." president obama brings back an old promise to close the prison at guantanamo. and it was bill plante who asked him about it. and a warning if you're about to have breakfast. ground turkey may be low in fat, but a new consumer report study says it can be high in bacteria. plus, a singer/songwriter who broke a record set by the beatles more than 50 years ago. first here's today's "eye opener at 8." >> to ask me a question, i said yes, you know, i did that and just killed a policeman in
8:01 am
cambridge. >> he was among the last victims of the tsarnaev brothers. >> he's thinking, if they let me go, they're not going to leave me around to call 911 and call in that license plate when they're driving in new york. the dashboard-mounted camera seems to show the plane stall and then fall out of the sky soon after takeoff. the main american supply base in afghanistan. administration officials say they have not decided to appeal the ruling that would allow anybody above the age of 15 to buy it off the shelf. there's another actor here, too. it's also about congress. winter does not want to let go. plenty of heavy snow around denver, scotts bluff, north of sioux falls. >> let's face it. do we want to go to an airport and move into the airport? no. we want to get through the airport and get out of the airport. new york city is testing a new plan that would make the average school day longer by 2 1/2 hours.
8:02 am
parents haven't commented because they're busy high-fiving everyone they know. i'm charlie rose with gayle king and norah o'donnell. in his 2008, the president promised to close guantanamo bay prison camp. the prison is still open. now he says he'll try to shut it down. in a news conference yesterday, bill plante asked the president about a three-month hunger strike by guantanamo terror suspects. >> reporter: is it any surprise, really, that they would prefer death rather than have no end in sight to their confinement? >> well, it is not a surprise to me that we've got problems in guantanamo. i'm going to go back at this, and i'm going to reengage with congress to try to make the case that this is not something that's in the best interests of the american people. and it's not sustainable. >> bill plante is at the white house. so bill, what would the president have to do now to get
8:03 am
it closed? >> reporter: gayle, good morning. he'd have to convince congress to let him transfer those people out into u.s. prisons or back to other countries. and congress simply doesn't want to do that. they have built barriers into the present law which forbid it. so he'd have to get congress to change the law. look, 86 of those people are already eligible. they're considered nonimminent threats, but they can't transfer them back to yemen because they'd join al qaeda there. but he'd like to put them in u.s. prisons. congress doesn't want it. and now you've got many more on hunger strike, 21 who are being force fed. this is something that human rights groups and even the american medical association say is not humane. but the answer here is, they're going to allow it as the president said, he doesn't want them to die. and a big reason that the u.s. doesn't want them to die is that they would then be seen as martyrs to the jihad cause. so it's a pretty difficult problem with no apparent solution. >> and bill, a very good question. thank you, bill.
8:04 am
and some people buy ground turkey, thinking it's healthier than ground beef, but "consumer reports" says careful. the june issue reports ground turkey can be a breeding ground for bacteria. the magazine's director of consumer safety and sustainability joins us. good morning. >> good morning. >> so this is really fascinating, and we're glad you're here. what kind of bacteria are we talking about? >> a lot of different kind of bacteria, salmonella, staphylococcus, things commonly associated with foodborne illness but also e. coli, these are indicator organisms. they can also cause infections in and of themselves. >> what do they do? what kind of illnesses? >> things like urinary tract inflections, blood and skin infections and infections that are becoming more and more resistant to being killed by antibiotics. therefore they can become harder to treat as well. >> we have a statement from the national turkey federation i want to read it to you. and the american meat institute, they both dispute your findings. they say that the results are
8:05 am
encouraging because they do not show high levels of the bacteria typically linked to food issues. what do you say about that? here >> here's what we have to say about that. >> i figured you had a response. >> about 403 million pounds of ground turkey produced every year, this figures are from the turkey federation of 2008. we found about a% salmonella, one of the lower rates, 69% enterococcus. even 5% is 20 million pounds. that's a significant amount of turkey that would be contaminated with salmonella. the cargill recall from 2011 was about 39 million pounds. so that's not good enough. we need to get better. we need to get cleaner. >> did "consumer reports" do this study, or was it done by someone else? >> we managed this study. we do it at an outside lab. we use state-of-the-art methodologies out there, but we manage the entire project. >> there are normal levels of the bacteria in food, correct?
8:06 am
>> there are aren't in ready-to-eat food, you may not have any pathogens on that food. this is a raw meat product. we're seeing significant rates and most of these bacteria are resistant to more than three antibiotics. that's simply too much. in looking at that production practice specifically in this study, we noted that ground turkey produced without ant buy octobers or labeled as organic, that bacteria was significantly less resistant than the conventiona brands. >> make sure you read the labels. thank you very much. some music fans will tell you nothing can beat the beatles, but this morning a young performer in britain says yeah, you can. she's claiming a piece of the fab four's musical history. ♪ >> reporter: in 1963, the beatles dominated uk music charts with their debut album "please please me." it spent 62 consecutive weeks on

8:15 am
then frozen and sold to scientists and drug developers. it's a dangerous and unpleasant process that few are willing to try. you've done this -- for obvious reasons. >> a lot of people think i'm brave by working with venomous snakes. i just happen not to be afraid of venomous snakes. if you're afraid of that snake, you're going to have to his hate to move in to pick him up. s' they say, he who hesitates is lost. >> reporter: have you ever hesitates? >> i don't think so. it doesn't mean i haven't had an accident. this finger's not as big as it used to be because i lost a little tissue from it. >> reporter: snake bite. >> snake bite. >> reporter: what would happen if this snake bit you right now? >> well, i would probably utter a few choice words, and then i would sit down for a minute and evaluate how serious it was. about one-third of rattlesnake bites are dry. if he didn't inject any venom, there's no sense in going to the hospital. >> reporter: that's the irony of
8:16 am
ken darnell. a dry bite could save his life. but wet bites are how he makes a living. >> hear it rolling down in there? i love that sound. >> reporter: a very decent living. $200 plus for a gram of snake venom. it's a lucrative business. >> oh, there's some venoms that cost ten times that much. it's not a matter of money. anyone who's doing it just for the money is doing it for the wrong reason, and i think more likely to have accidents. >> reporter: darnell says he does it for the right reason, medical research. one obvious use for snake venom is the creation of anti-venom. but some scientists think we've barely tapped its full medicinal value. >> we'll take some samples. >> reporter: paul reed is ceo of celtic biotech. he says several drugs derived from venom are already on the market, one used by hospitals to help heart attack victims. but his company is hoping for a breakthrough. >> the other exciting parts are the applications. the rattlesnake and viper venoms
8:17 am
are very intriguing when it comes to potential applications to therapy. i think they're going to be very exciting in the near future. >> reporter: the main hurdle facing this kind of research is that studies based on snake venom are often seen as snake coils. >> not the public who are anti the idea of using snake venoms. essentially if you're desperate, you're going to use anything. but i think the medical community needs to kind of catch up on the science. >> reporter: venom is protein. >> reporter: ken darnell is no scientist. but he says he believes in their work. and at 68, he has no plans to back off. >> i expect to be doing it until i drop. >> reporter: why? >> why not? there's no heavy lifting. all you've got to do is pick up an eight-pound snake. >> why not? because you could maybe lose another finger. >> exactly right. >> so does milking them hurt the snake? >> no, not if it's done infrequently and the right way. >> i like he pointed out, he

8:33 am
now the record visits to the hospital. why is this? >> ambien and its generic versions, they're so prescribed. many outrageous numbers. 44 million prescriptions were filled just last year so we have to assume many more were written. i think what's happening is both doctors and patients now think of the drug as not serious just because it's so common. a lot of patients say, oh, you know, i'll just take an ambien. but it is serious. in january the fda increased the dosage for women in half. >> why women? >> does it affect women more than men? >> it does. hates to do with metabolism in the live and stays in our blood system longer. two thirds of those e.r. visits were actually women and the others who run into trouble are the elderly primarily because they're more likely to mix ambien with other drugs. >> i take ambien when i'm traveling overseas. what are the bad reactions? >> some involve hallucinations,
8:34 am
behavioral changes, agitation and the more bizarre side effects like sleepwalking, sleep drive, sleep eating where you're sort of half asleep and functions. >> this is not funny but someone said they ate a whole cake after taking an ambien. >> that's true. >> is that something wrong with the drug or taking too much of the drug or people have different reactions to the drug? >> you know what i think it is, a lot of it has to do, 50% of the e.r. visits had to do with mixing the drug with other drugs. so you really can't take it if you're taking any pain medication, anti-anxiety medicines or don't mix it with alcohol. i advise we follow this mantra. take the smallest amount possible for the shortest amount of time. it's not to be used every day. >> thank you, doctor. darts are taking a new direction and they're shooting at more than the corner bar.
