>> the deadliest stance since protests began. at least 25 have been killed. we're hearing 250 injuries. >> americans are being told to get inside and stay inside. >> nine people were injured when a cafe pacific airliner encountered severe turbulence. the boeing 747 was en route to hong kong when it was thrown around over northern japan. >> the big thaw pushing the mercury up from coast-to-coast. >> just hours before indiana basketball, a 50-pound piece of metal fell from the ceiling into the stands. winning gold in the giant slalom. >> david wise has won gold in the inaugural running of men's ski halfpipe. alex segal, on the podium in sochi. >> all the hard work all the sacrifices i made, and every moment was absolutely worth it. >> the sinkhole that trapped the portland, oregon, woman and her little girl.

a passerby helps. neither one was hurt. >> these two crashed into a convenience store in houston. >> a bench-clearing brawl during a baseball game in cuba. the melee erupts. >> a short four-day trip to the region. >> and all that matters. >> i might go just ride some powder and hang out. >> you ever refer to it as pow? you ever drop it and cut some sick lines? >> yeah, always. [ laughter ] always. my man. >> on "cbs this morning." >> say it ain't so, there's a national clown shortage. according to the world clown association, membership has plunged 29%. >> a drop in clowns is mostly due to one fatal car accident. [ laughter ] >> this morning's "eye-opener" is presented by toyota. let's go places.

welcome to "cbs this morning." good morning, norah. >> hey, good morning to you, charlie. >> we begin overseas as the world watches russia's winter olympics, a violent crisis unfolding next door in ukraine. anti-government protesters are confronting police for a second day. this is a live look from kiev this morning. ukraine's health ministry says 25 people are dead in the violence that began flaring yesterday. >> in response some european nations are threatening the ruling government with sanctions. sweden's foreign minister says ukraine's president, quote, has blood on his hands. but russia is blaming the opposition, asking u.s. and other countries to stay out. holly williams is above independence square in keev where both sides say they're ready to escalate the violence. holly, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, charlie and norah. this is the worst violence witnessed in ukraine since the country broke free of the soviet union 22 years ago.

ukrainian riot police stormed independence square. the symbolic heart of kiev which has been occupied by anti-government protesters since november. thousands of demonstrators stood their ground at the center of ukraine's capital descended into chaos. the police broke down protesters' barricades with armored personnel carriers. and fired tear gas and stun grenades into the crowd. the demonstrators fought back with rocks, fireworks, and molotov cocktails. [ explosions ] as street battles raged into the night casualties were suffered by police and protesters. there were acquisitions that live ammunition was fired, though both sides denied it. these protests began peacefully in november when ukraine's

government rejected a trade agreement with europe in favor of a $15 billion financial bailout from russia. but after enduring decades of soviet rule many ukrainians are fearful of moscow's influence. the demonstrators also accuse their government of corruption and hope closer ties with europe will bring greater democracy. now, those divisions have turned bloody and talks last night aimed at finding a political solution quickly collapsed. opposition leader said it was the government that was unwilling to compromise. >> i'm very unhappy, because there was a discussion, and they don't want to listen to opposition. >> reporter: but in an address to the nation president yanukovych said lines had been crossed when people had been called to arms. russia has close links with ukraine's leaders, but the u.s.

and europe have been critical of the government here for the way it's handled these demonstrations. now, in language that is reminiscent of the cold war, they're blaming each other for interfering in ukraine's politics. charlie and norah? >> holly williams, thank you. this morning, pope frances is asking both sides to end the fighting, so is the obama administration. the president left the white house a short time ago. he is flying to a summit of north american leaders in toluca, mexico. major garrett is already there to follow this story. major, good morning. >> reporter: well good morning, norah and charlie, and to our viewers in the west. for the time being, the white house has assigned the ukraine problem to vice president joe biden. three times since january 23rd, and most recently yesterday, biden called and talked to ukrainian president viktor yanukovych and urged him to deescalate the violence and begin negotiations with opposition protesters. that obviously has not happened and concern over the bloodshed is rising at the white house and other european capitals. street fighting in kiev doesn't

directly influence american economic or political interests in the region but the tug-of-war over ukraine's future does, at least broadly. ukraine had been trending toward the west and greater democracy, but russian president vladimir putin has reversed that, offering economic incentives and other issues to yanukovych, the leader that many street protesters believe is not only oppressive but corrupt. the message from vice president biden, tougher economic sanctions are coming if the situation does not improve. here in toluca mexico where the president is due to arrive about 10:00 a.m. pacific time the president's not expected to address the ukrainian crisis but deal instead with issues of trade, investment, and energy. charlie and norah? >> thanks, major. this morning, another group of airline passengers recovering from injuries after turbulence scared them a flight from san francisco to hong kong. the trouble started over northern japan. as elaine reports, one person aboard the 747 had to be carried out on a stretcher.

>> reporter: these images apparently taken from inside the cafe pacific flight show the aftermath for 350 passengers who endured two minutes of terror as their plane was rocked by severe turbulence last night. passengers said it felt like being on a roller coaster. >> extremely scary, because it was throwing you up and down sideways. quite a few people in front of me were thrown up from their seats. a few of them even hit the ceiling of the aircraft. we had a couple of the baggage bins opening up and the bags flying out. >> reporter: the flight continued for another six hours after the incident and landed safely in hong kong. at least nine were injured eight were taken to local hospitals. one crew member is reportedly in serious condition. this comes just a day after a flight from denver to billings montana, also experienced severe turbulence leaving one flight attendant in intensive care. >> bleeding pretty badly, and they can't get it to stop so

we're requesting medical attention at the gate. >> reporter: passengers described a similar scene. >> there was a lot of screaming and a lot of -- a lot of hollering and things like that going on. >> reporter: cathay pacific, a hong kong-based company, says safety is their first priority and they're working with local authorities to investigate the incident. for "cbs this morning," elaine quijano, new york. it is warming up this morning in areas battered for weeks by winter storms. the weather change will give states a chance to stock up on needed supplies. a barge carrying 10,000 tons of road salt is expected to arrive in new jersey next week. we reported yesterday that shipment was held up because it has to come in on an american ship. local officials are facing new problems. terrell brown is in raritan, new jersey, in an area damaged by all of the snow. good morning. >> reporter: good morning to you. and good morning to the viewers in west. these businesses have been

closed since friday because under the weight of the snow and ice the roof on this building collapsed. it is a problem we've seen all across the state and certainly all across the country, as this record winter has taken a toll on the nation's already aging infrastructure. the roof on this vacant mill in paterson, new jersey, was no match for the snow. it collapsed sunday forcing the evacuation of nearby residents. about 30 miles east in sparta fears about the roof on one school triggered the closures of all the others. >> knowing the amount of snow and ice that are on all of our school buildings right now that prompted me to have an early dismissal today. >> reporter: this has been the snowiest january and february ever recorded in new york city. and chicago, which has seen only three winters with more than 70 inches of snow, is already nearing 67. that means potholes. lots of them. as ice and salt eat away at road surfaces.

underground, the concern is over ruptured pipes. detroit last week when a water main broke. and in chicago these cars were literally frozen in place by a pipe that burst down the street. and it all adds up. st. paul minnesota, which typically goes through four snow emergencies each winter has already declared seven. the city is $2 million in the hole and counting says the mayor, chris coleman. >> at some point, all those ultimately are coming out of the taxpayers' pockets, and we have to balance though out as well as we can. >> reporter: coleman, the president of the national league of cities says the severe winter has aggravated existing infrastructure problems. >> we're seeing the patterns the challenges on the infrastructure on a daily bhasasis and we need to get more proaktdive. >> reporter: and this winter continues to break budgets as crews work to get damage like this fixed before the next big storm. and by the way thunderstorms are next in the forecast, which

means the next big problem could be ice. charlie, norah? >> lots of flooding terrell, brown, thank you. big news from the winter olympics. if you don't want to hear turn away now. the medal count shows russia leading the united states just ahead of the netherlands and norway. but russia will not win a medal in hockey after losing this morning to finland. alphonso van marsh is in sochi where u.s. skiers struck gold again today. alphonso, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, norah. good morning, charlie. 29-year-old american from park city utah's ted liggote has won the giant slalom. it's the first gold medal for america in the alpine event. americans are having an impressive streak. team usa has won at least one medal every day during the winter games in sochi. freestyle skiing halfpipe made its olympic debut. 23-year-old american david wise finished first with stunning double cork and big air. taking home the first-ever olympic gold medal in the event.

>> david wise has won gold! >> it's a huge huge accomplishment, and i'm just so honored and humbled by the whole experience. >> reporter: the fog was back while heavy snow and freezing rain in the mountain venues created challenging conditions for the athletes. in the woman's giant slalom slovenia won the gold medal. celebrating with a swim in the snow-turned-slush at the bottom of the run. people are still buzzing about the judging in the ice dance final. gold medal winners meryl davis and charlie white took time to address the controversy. >> we're not judges. we're skaters. and i think what's gotten us to this point standing on top of the olympic podium is really realizing that and focusing on what our job is. >> metal contention! >> reporter: in the snowboard cross, deibold secured a bronze

medal. four years ago in vancouver, deibold was a wax tech helping olympic boarders prepare their equipment. now, he's a medal-winning boarder himself, and the reaction of his teammates says it all. now, back onto the ice, charlie and norah. in a few hours, figure skating will be back in the spotlight with the woman's short program getting under way. so by the end of the day, team usa could have a few more medals. back to you. >> all right, alphonso van marsh, thank you. this morning both sides in the fight over boosting the federal minimum wage have new ammunition. on tuesday, the nonpartisan congressional budget office released a report on the democrats' plan. it estimates a $10.10 minimum would increase the income of nearly 17 million americans, and it would lift 900,000 workers out of poverty. >> but those gains could come at a steep cost. the elimination of 500,000 jobs. jon hilsenrath is the chief economic correspondent for the "wall street journal," and he is in washington. john, good morning. >> good morning, charlie. >> what does this report add to the debate over the minimum

wage? >> i think it adds a very important point, which you frankly don't get enough of in washington, which is that with any policy and particularly with this minimum wage policy there are tradeoffs. and republicans and democrats when they argue about these things, they don't acknowledge the tradeoffs. as you said in your introduction, 900,000 people could belifted out of poverty but 500,000 people could lose their jobs. and so what we face with the minimum wage debate is a choice. is it worth helping the 900,000 -- frankly, 16.5 million people who could see their wages increase -- when the cost is a very discrete job loss for hundreds of thousands of people? >> there's a lot of politically with this report because the republicans and democrats are pushing the raise in minimum wage to run against republicans in this election year. yesterday, the white house came out and said, look, this does not reflect the consensus view

of economists that the minimum wage has been studied for years. what do you take about their argument? >> you know, i think you have to look at the back of the report. i counted up 61 references to different outside studies that were done on the minimum wage and its effects on employment and income. it looks to me like the cbo did its best job of coming with a down -- coming up with a down-the-middle point of view and i think the white house response in part reflects the nature of the debate in washington. republicans are only, you know, emphasized the negatives. democrats are only going to emphasize the positives. but in truth, there are tradeoffs, and that's what the public has to understand. >> jon, thank you so much. now to the political payback scandal engulfing new jersey governor chris christie. this morning, two key figures refused to cooperate with an investigation. a legislative panel subpoenaed information and cell phones from

bill acceptseepian and binge et ann kelly. they said no. they're looking into the lane closures of the george washington bridge last year. the leader of venezuela's cantey government protesters is due in court today. a defiant leopoldo lopez, surrounded by thousands of supporters turned himself in yesterday. the government blames lopez for leading a demonstration that erupted in deadly confrontations with police last week. venezuela claims the obama administration is siding with student protesters. it ordered three u.s. diplomats to leave the country. time to show you some of the morning's headlines. the "washington post" says the government wants to build a national license plate database. the homeland security's department's plan would gather plates from law enforcement and commercial-tracking systems. that could create more than 1 billion records. officials say the information would be used to find immigrants who are fugitives. >> "usa today" looks at claims general motors knew about a dangerous problem in its chevy cobalt years before issuing a recall. the lawsuit says gm learned as

early as 2004 that cobalt engines can shut off unexpectedly. the stall also cuts off power steering and brakes. in last week's recall, gm said it knows of at least six people who died in cobalt crashes linked to the problem. >> the "wall street journal" looks at target's data breach crisis trusting the retail giant is at an all-time low after the massive cyber theft. target stock is down 11%. it could lose billions of dollars in sales and by repaying banks. >> the "milwaukee journal-sentinel" says a guard member is suspended. terri posted this picture on her instagram account. it shows soldiers goofing off in front of a flag-draped casket. "we put the fun in funerals." the coffin was empty. >> "cbs sacramento" says nestle wants customers to return the hot pocket. they contain a small amount of recalled beef, processed at the

rancho feeding company in california. the hot pockets affected are philly steak with cheese and croissant crust, philly steak and cheese. >> if portland oregon a woman fell down a 20-foot sinkhole in her backyard. she heard her dog barking last night, went out to investigate, and then fell in. local officials think the sinkhole may have been part of an old well. both the woman and her dog were rescued. neither one was seriously injured. a cold front diving into the bay area falling apart when it gets here, but left behind a few scattered light showers. those are tapering off now, though. and we'll be moving out of town, leaving behind lots of sunshine. these temperatures, well, fairly mild. a little windy though as you approach the coastline. 57 degrees in pacifica. 61 in san francisco today. and about 64 mostly sunny this afternoon in san jose. speaking of sun, plenty of sunshine coming our way. maybe even some 70s over the weekend.

coach. jeff benedict is a contributor for "sports illustrated." he spent the last six months writing the revealing story in this month's magazine the education of jabari parker. >> you have a coach from inner city chicago player from inner city chicago, but they're separated by generations, and they come together here. >> i asked him to do a thing that he had not been doing for a while. i said you're coming to us physically, but i need your mind and i need your heart. >> the coach is very experienced. he has a lot of knowledge. i'm here to pick his brain and learn as much as possible and be here to be humbled like a son to his father. >> jabari's a treasure you know. he's a treasure to the game. he's pure. >> reporter: never more pure and caring than shortly after christmas when krzyzewski's only brother bill a chicago fire captain died unexpectedly at the age of 71. >> he's the guy i looked up to. i never would have imagined the feeling that i had. i mean i've never had that.

and i got knocked back for a couple of weeks. no matter what i did, i couldn't -- i couldn't do it like i normally do it. >> jabari when you see your coach with tires in his eyes before a game what's going through your mind? >> just for us to show up for him because he would do the same thing for me if someone was on my mind. he would be there. >> reporter: true to those words ever since. beforery parker has been on fire including this career-high 29-point, 16-rebound explosion against boston college earlier this month. and this monstrous dunk to seal a win over maryland last saturday. it'sen clear just how long parker will remain at duke. expected by many to be a number one pick in june. even so the lessons in this class appear destined to last.

>> the opportunity presented itself to go to the nba, but he won't be going alone. he'll be going and all of us will be going with him. he will always be duke and our family. >> the education of jabari parker happens as much off the court as on. twice during summer school at duke he lost his wallet only to have it returned to the basketball office intact something he said would never happen at home. >> they play duke on saturday. >> where will you be at? >> i love the relationship, though, between the two of them between these two guys. you can tell it's a bond for life. for him to say the coach brings out the best in me i'm humbled to him like a son. that's powerful stuff. >> it's an amazing story. jeff benedict who did it is a good friend of mine. it's as intimate a look at mike krzyzewski as i've ever seen.

directors? >> it shouldn't but but i'm happy to have it stay central to my work. women are endlessly fascinating and powerful and i want them to be there with with the men or exceed the men. that's been that way with "the fighter." >> jennifer lawrence and amy adams, incredible actors. >> they always surprise you. they show every bit of rawness and cunningness and sexiness but rawness and emotion and heart. all the movies i make have to have heart and heap in them but be grounded at the same time not be grounded. otherwise i don't want to do the movie. that's how some of my favorite directors are. >> so where does the word difficult come from. are you difficult, do you think? or are you just passionate about what you do? >> i was in my earlier incarnation. it's true. if you're old enough -- if you

live long enough 12 years ago, you can go back in time if you want i did the first four films and then i had a difficult period as you indicated, came back, and i don't think any of the actors would say that. i encourage you to go around and ask them. no i just want nothing be love and collaboration on the set. life is too short. hard to make a movie. >> that is what you put out. o., what does it stand for? ? i can't tell you. i'm not at liberty in tell you. >> why not. >> i'm not ad-lib earth to tell you. it's like a legal thing. owen. >> all right. david owen russell. we thank you. >> thank you. thank you gayle king miss o'donnell, charlie rose. great to be here. >> charlie just had fun with petra nemcova. listen, this is his first photo booth. we've been on the air three years. this is charlie's first photo booth. >> you have a reason. >> we'll learn --

model kate upton went weightless. upton flew on a plane that simulates gravity. she floated like an astronaut,

although she dressed a bit differently. >> just a little bit. kate always looks good. the milestone issue features the top models of all team including 2003 cover girl petra nemcova. the magazine is also partnering with a very good cause for her. hello, petra. >> good morning. >> your friends in the green room were i talking about getting off a plane and going to davos. you say i look so bad right now. what does that look like? let's go back to the cover on "sports illustrated" in 2003. what was that like? >> it was beautiful. it started a plethora of dreams to do anything entertainment, philanthropy. it's an incredible platform. it's a family. it's not just work but a family. >> 2003 was such a high on the cover and then 2004 the tsunami, which took your fiance

fiance's life. that changed you. >> yes, definitely. i didn't know what a tsunami was. i had no idea. >> did you all have any warning it was coming? >> no not at all. and it happened everything in a split of seconds. what i realized is every experience has pluses and minuses and close to 300,000 lost their lives, millions impacted. but there was unconditional love. that day, that same day, you had people being ready to sacrifice their own lives for strangers. it was so beautiful and also one positive thing which came out of it was i could establish the happy hearts fund and be able to help rebuild schools for children who are forgot about after a natural disaster. >> petra let's go back to that day. you hung on for 8 to 9 hours you had a broken pelvis. you were in bad shape.

you looked like you were going to die from that. what happened in the hospital that changed for you? >> it was a -- a lot of it was positive thinking. when i was in thailand it was on new year's eve, 31st of december, i was in a lot of pain and morphine worked for a very short time and the nurses didn't know what to do with me so they called the doctor and he came back to my hospital room 11:30 p.m. on new year's eve and he said to me, you see, sometimes on a scale of 1 to 10 the pain feels like 10. but it's only 4 because you keep thinking about the pain it becomes bigger. start thinking positively. i think beautiful memories, things you love to door thinks you are thankful for, sunshine, anything. and i started doing that. the next morning i woke up it was 360 degrees of a change. no pain. i could start moving. my sister and her friend who were there with me in the room there, they could. believe the change.

this is the power of positive thinking and it can help anyone because we all go through difficult times in our lives. we all have our own sufferings. >> that started you thinking about happy hearts. >> yes. >> which is what exactly? >> happy hearts rebuilds schools after natural disasters. we come in after the first responders start leaving. we stay there and the schools are first goal was to build one school and a little bit, looking back, a little bit over 7 1/2 years later we have 85 in seven countries around the world. and this year is the tenth anniversary of the tsunami and the goal is to build 100 schools by december of this year to

commemorate the event. >> and you spend a lot of time in haiti working on this. >> yes. one of the countries is haiti. i live there now. it's my home. >> you live in haiti. i didn't know that. >> it's my home and i love the people and culture and there's so much positive change happening from being now, haiti is the safest country in the caribbean. 4.3% of growth. attendance of children in schools rose 88%. so many changes. it's beautiful to be part of it. >> and "sports illustrated" is working with you on happy hearts. listen i heard you were on charlie rose. what was that like? >> i was just talking
