[ laughter ] >> this morning's "eye-opener" is presented by toyota. let's go places. ♪ welcome to "cbs this

morning." good morning, norah. >> good morning to you charlie. >> more conflict in kiev. >> mm-hmm. >> we begin with the new deadly violence in the heart of ukraine's capital city. the fighting in kiev's independence square is now in its third day. government opponents are trying to force the country's president to resign. >> the doctor in charge of treating protesters tells cbs news 100 more people were killed today. this is a live look at independence square where the violence has gone on for hours. holly williams is there this morning. >> reporter: good morning. the two sides may have declared a truce last night but just a few hours later, here on kiev's independence square, there are more deadly clashes. [ gun inshots ] live ammunition rang out this morning in the center of ukraine's capital. dashing any hopes that the truce would hold. we saw eight dead bodies all of them protesters, all apparently killed by gunshot wounds.

some of the demonstrators are also armed. and others fought back with rocks and molotov cocktails. [ gunshots ] after tuesday's bloodshed drew international condemnation and the threat of sanctions, viktor yanukovych agreed to stop pieting and start talking with opposition leaders, but now both sides have shown they're willing to get violence to get what they want, and they are entrenched in their positions. the protesters claim president yanukovych is corrupt and increasingly lyly dictator-like, and say they won't leave until he's removed from power. with lines of riot police surrounding independence square, the president is clearly resolved to stay in office. on the front lines yesterday yuri pistorah told us his friend was killed in tuesday's violence. >> he was my classmate and we grew up together and he was shot like a dog here.

had no weapon. and he died in hospital. >> reporter: he said it's made him more determined than ever to fight. is this worth dying for? >> it's better to be free than to live like this. you know? i don't want to be a slave. >> reporter: ukraine's president and the country's opposition leaders are due to meet today but nobody is expecting a resolution to this crisis. for "cbs this morning," holly williams, kiev. some ukrainian athletes are leaving the winter olympics because of the fighting in kiev. president obama said yesterday at a summit in mexico that he hopes a cease-fire will lead to a political settlement. he also said the crisis should not affect american/russian relations. >> our approach to the united states is not to see these as some cold war chessboard in which we're in competition with russia. our goal is to make sure that

the people of ukraine are able to make decisions for themselves about their future. >> margaret brennan is at the state department where officials are taking action against ukraine's government. margaret good morning. >> reporter: good morning to you, charlie and norah. the president may not see this as a chessboard but there's a cold war influence between russia and a western alliance made up of the u.s. and european union. the u.s. is leaning hard on 20 top ukrainian officials that it holds personally responsible for the brutality and has banned them from traveling here. the u.s. is also expected to take further sanctions action including freezing their financial assets. president obama has warned that there are going to be consequences if either party steps over the line but the u.s. doesn't have much leverage here. in fact, the new chief of ukraine's armed forces installed just in the past 48 hours, has not even returned phone calls from senior u.s. military leaders.

the european union, on the other hand has more influence, and an emergency meeting today, they are expected to consider a travel ban and an asset freeze that would essentially cut off ukraine's leaders from the 28 countries that make up the e.u. top foreign ministers from europe are in kiev today to confront ukraine's president, yanukovych. we do know the u.s. is considering sending a high-level diplomat, but right now, secretary kerry remains in the region, and is consulting on the issue. >> all right, margaret brennan, thank you. the federal government is asking airlines this morning to watch out again for shoe bombers. homeland security officials say there is no specific threat but an intelligence source tells cbs news the alert is based on recent terrorist chatter. >> the new warning applies to flights to the united states from other countries, and it focuses on explosives that could be hidden in shoes, liquids, cosmetics. cbs news contributor mike morell is a former deputy cia director. he's in washington.

mike, good morning. >> good morning, charlie. good morning, norah. >> how serious is this threat in terms of analysts? and what does it suggest might be in terms of terrorist actions? >> so, charlie, i am actually more worried about this threat than some of the other ones that we've talked about in recent weeks. the fact that it's only chatter does not give me any comfort. some of the most significant attacks that we've seen over the last ten years have been proceeded by chatter, most importantly 9/11. the fact that the terrorists are coming back to shoes is also worrisome to me, because it suggests that they may have found a way around the screening that is currently done on shoes. so that is a concern, as well. >> mike, if anybody's traveling today at the airport, they're going to notice stepped-up security, certainly, indeed. where is this threat coming from from? >> so we don't know. but my guess would be either al

qaeda in pakistan or more likely al qaeda in yemen. those are the two places in the world that continue to want to attack the u.s. homeland, so that's why i'm focusing on those. most likely in my mind, yemen, and what concerns me the most norah, is that a guy named asiri, who is al qaeda's number-one bomb maker, who was in yemen, and who is very, very creative, may be behind this. he's the guy that brought you the underwear bomb. he's the guy that brought us the nonmetallic suicide vests. and if he has found a way to be creative with shoe bombs then that is something we need to worry about. >> he is -- >> can i ask you, mike because you've been at the heart of the cia, and you know stuff. and i know you can't say everything. what do you mean they may have gotten around the current security with shoes? >> well this guy named asiri, this bombmaker, has been working very, very hard to find ways to get around security. so, for example, he came up with

this suicide vest that had no metallic parts. so would not show up on a metal detector. so i'm concerned that he may have found a way to put explosives in shoes that get around the current screening procedures. so i think one of -- one of the things you will see now at airports is a greater percentage of shoes being tested for explosives after they go through the metal detector. >> have we been close to getting him in the past? >> we have not. >> mm. >> thank you, mike. this morning, california is preparing to spend nearly $700 million to fight its drought crisis. the money will free up more water for areas with dangerously low levels. nearly 10% of the state is dealing with exceptional conditions. that's the highest level the emergency can reach. governor jerry brown says the additional money will go towards capturing stormwater conservation, and food assistance. california's facing some of the driest conditions in recorded history. and southern california is

dealing with strong winds this morning that took out a tree in the san fernando valley. gusts could hit 60 miles an hour today, and warmer temperatures in the midwest could bring a powerful storm to 60 million americans. meteorologist megan glaros of our chicago station wbbm is tracking it all. >> good morning, charlie and norah. good morning to our viewers in the west today. we do have milder than average temperatures on tap for southern california, topping out at 81 in los angeles today. that's 10 to 15 degrees above average. bun fortunatebut unfortunately, no rain. we do have showers and heavy mountain snows across washington and oregon today, totaling as much as two feet in the higher elevations. a major storm system creating blizzard conditions from the portions of the midwest up near minnesota, iowa and wisconsin, to severe weather potential from michigan down to the gulf coast. could see as much as 10-plus inches of snow across parts of the midwest today, while the threat for severe weather includes damaging wind gusts and isolated tornadoes. that threat works eastward

tomorrow. charlie, norah? >> and while millions brace for severe weather, officials used dynamite to blow up ice in michigan. it was up to two feet thick. crews needed three hours of explosions to break the jam. snow caused the roof of a new york city drugstore to collapse with 15 people inside. they all got out safely. and also in new york chunks of ice rained down from sci scrapers onto sidewalks. police closed streets around the new one world trade center. this morning, president obama is lowering expectations for the affordable care act. joe biden said the goal of signing up 7 million americans will likely fall short. >> initially we talked about why the end of this period having 7 million people lined up. we may not get to seven, but we're going to get to five or six, and that's a hell of a start. >> biden blames the trouble rollout of the health care website. several members of the

russian protest ban pussy riot are recovering this morning. members of a militia attacked the women when they tried to perform in the olympic city of sochi. the militiamen used horse whips and pepper spray in wednesday's confrontation. they're part of the security force for the winter games. [ screams ] the women were treated for minor injuries at a hospital. pussy riot released a new video this morning critical of president vladimir putin for his human rights record. there are four days left of olympic competition in sochi. the united states is leading the medal count this morning. russia, the netherlands and norway are close behind. the american women's hockey team is playing canada in gold medal game tonight. no matter who wins, team usa will add to its total medal count. alphonso van marsh is in sochi where americans earned three medals yesterday.

good morning. >> reporter: good morning, charlie and norah. if you like drama with the winter olympic games, men's hockey and women's figure skating brought it on wednesday, and they brought it big time. ♪ ladies' figure skating took center stage on wednesday. current world champion yuna kim of south korea sits on top of the leaderboard after a strong short program. american gracie gold is in fourth place after a solid, if unspectacular display. the 18-year-old from massachusetts remains in striking distance of a medal. there were gasps and tears in the iceberg skating palace when 15-year-old russian favorite yulia lipnitskaya failed to land a jump. more olympic medals in bobsled. jamie greubel and evans took bronze. the team of alina meyers and lauryn williams won silver.

williams, who has earned two u.s. track medals, becomes one of the few americans to place in both the summer and winter games. >> it's just a really cool thing to let it all set in and understand the kind of history that he made. >> reporter: on the slopes park city utah's, ted ligety took gold in the a slalom. >> it's cool to be a part of the tradition of the sport. >> scores! >> reporter: in hockey the u.s. men's team easily beat the czech republic, 5-2, advancing to the semifinals. but there won't be a rematch of 1980s miracle on ice. the russian men lost to finland, 3-1. now, it's a much better situation for the u.s. and men's hockey team. they will take on canada friday and as a reminder the u.s. women's hockey team, they will

go for the gold in their final also against canada later on today. charlie, norah? >> alphonso thank you. facebook stock is down this morning after betting big on mobile. the social media giant is paying $19 billion in cash and stock to buy whatsapp. the messaging service has more than 450 million active users, and it's growing fast. more than 1 million people are signing up every day. whatsapp price tag puts it in the same league as well-known companies like macy's, whole foods, and tyco. >> wow. this morning, the search is on in california for the winner of last night's powerball drawing. it is one of the biggest jackpots in american history. the ticket was sold just outside of san jose and as ben tracy reports, this area is no stranger to good luck. >> reporter: the winning ticket the only winning ticket from the $425 million jackpot, was sold here at a chevron gas station in milpitas california. >> someone went to the gas station, probably got some gas,

walked in, said hey, i'm going to get a couple of tickets tonight, and won $425 million. >> reporter: others were not so lucky. >> my co-worker just called me did you buy your ticket at the chevron? i was, like no. she said, oh, my god, someone just hit it there. crazy! could have been me. >> reporter: the winner could opt for the lump-sum payout an estimated $242 million. the odds of winning the sixth-largest jackpot in u.s. history, just 1 in 175 million. california's enjoyed some recent luck with picking lotto winners. a winning ticket for last year's $500 million jackpot was sold at a gift shop in san jose, just 13 miles away. >> the lottery called me and let me know, said i come and take a look. you know? but everybody here. whoa! >> reporter: in this case, lotto officials say it's pretty rare to have just one winner. >> you're seeing a ton of ticket sales nationally so odds are you're going to see multiple

winners. for me i would be camped out in front of the district office location waiting to cash that ticket. >> reporter: for "cbs this morning," ben tracy, los angeles. >> it is time to show you this morning's headlines from around the globe. "the milwaukee journal-sentinel" say documents that link scott walker to a secret e-mail system. it was set up to avoid public scrutiny while he was a milwaukee county executive. >> the "washington post" says a deadly drone strike in yemen didn't comply with president obama's rules to protect civilians. the human rights organization claims the attack in december hit a wedding party, killing 12 people. u.s. officials say only militants were killed in the strike. a venezuelan beauty queen was killed during an anti-state protest. officials say she was shot in the head tuesday when bikers stormed the crowd and opened fire. >> the "wall street journal" says the federal reserve is talking about raising interest rates. it's not likely to happen this year. some fed officials who worry

this morning we're getting an inside look why more than 75,000 flights have been canceled since december 1st and weather is not the only factor. >> "time" magazine's new cover story goes inside the international airport. it looks inside a new computer program called the cannes later. good morning. >> good morning. >> what's the cancellator? >> it's a series of programs that tries to decide who's going to fly today and who isn't. it's a very difficult problem and i got a chance to be introduced to it at american airlines operations center last week in the middle of this awful weather we're having. >> did you hear about it? were you in the office and heard cancellator?

what happened? >> we were talking to some of the dispatchers. they said you know we had a situation and we run it through the cancellator. i thought, wow, what great name. >> how do they prioritize who to cancel? >> there's a waiting system to see who's flying where are they going, where are the jets where are the pilots. everything has to be measured. >> kind of a weighted system. >> it's aweighted system. for instance how do you retain revenue, which flyers are worth more which are not worth as much. >> most importantly, how do we beat the cancellation? if you think you have to fly swrg and you have to beat the system, how -- >> it happened to you. >> yeah the cannes later got me. one of the things that happens in the priority list, that's the type of flight that will go. it's a hub-to-hub flight and there's a lot of reaccommodation

on it. reactionc reaccom is another name. >> where do you go? >> go across the pond. they're less likely to be canceled. and if you're on a domestic flight, that's not going to be canceled because if they canceled that flight they'd have to cannes sell thecel the international flight. >> how much of it is -- >> it's a profit-making enterprise. you have to figure out how do i get them back. how many gates am i going to be able to operate the next day. so it's not simply about money because there are so many other variables they have a mix of sun and clouds around the bay area today. some spring-like temperatures going to be common the next few days as high pressure builds in

in the title because there was such a baft taste in the world. >> i want you to deal with your problems by becoming rich. >> and you've heard the criticism, yeah but you all didn't show the other side the people you hurt the people whose lives you destroyed. >> it's the first time i've been a part of a mean that's had any real controversy behind it so i had to look to marty to say, how do we react to this. i think what was interesting to me in not only making movie but was the dialogue that happened afterward because that's what movies can do. >> i got it. i got it. i can roll. i can roll. >> you say you never done drugs. >> mm-hmm. >> you played such a good drug character. i know that's called act. but how were you able to do that with that intensity and then detach because it was so raw.

>> i think it's like anything else. you do your research? >> quite specifically the drug sequences? >> yes. >> number one, i spent many months with jordan belfort and there was another video i watched obsessively called the drunkest man in the world on youtube about a guy who tried to get a beer and wouldn't stop. >> i haven't either done drugs but how are you in hollywood, how are you able to do that when it is so prevalent? no desire no interest? >> i think there's always an interest and a desierks but i really grew up around that. it was on my street corner, people offering me drugs at 4 or 5 years old. >> so you saw it. >> i saw it at a very very early age and i was just sort of horrified how it affected people. >> can i talk about jonah hill? >> mm-hmm. >> did you bring jonah into this project? >> i met him in mexico and he basically said to me i know this character, i am this character. not personally but i know who

these people are and there's no one who can play it. i relaid it to marty and he hired him on the board. >> marty said, i don't know if you can handle it. >> i got such a kick watching "saturday night live" recently. all of a sudden leonardo dicaprio comes out and it's you. you re-enact that whole "titanic" scene along with the music. >> i really wanted to support jonah and somebody suggested that right on the stage and at first i was a little skeptical. >> that's what i was wondering. >> it was actually pretty damn flying. >> when you hear the "titanic" song or you hearing i'm king of the world, do you cringe or is it okay? >> it was such a long time ago, but it was such a huge part of my life. people maybe think i have a reaction to that film but the truth is i'm incredibly proud of it. not only that the movie has

really made me in control of my career. >> listen. i first met leonardo dicaprio. you became so good in that role. that's when you were nominated for your first oscar and here we go to 2014 and you're nominated for another oscar. when you think of who leo was back then, did you ever envision this would be your career? you couldn't possibly have. >> no, i didn't. all i remembered is being paralyzed with fear of having to get on stage because somebody tell me a billion people watched the show. >> so if you win jourks to go up and talk in front of all those people. >> iblesshambles. >> this is what i don't understand. you guys are actors. why can't yo go up there and act like i'm a famous actor and accept an award. >> it's entirely different.

we get takes. you can call cut. that's the problem. there is no cut. i mean i've had a lot more experience since then but that was my memory. >> i read that when you were younger it was suggested you change your name to lenny williams. is that true? i was thinking maybe it was an urban legend show. >> i was a break dancer at the time with a step hair cut. >> break dancer. >> and a pop walker which i displayed in this movie. >> yes yes. i saw that. i thought i wonder who taught him to do that. you already knew,000 do that? >> yeah, that was all stuff i did before i was an actor. yeah, they wanted me to change my name to lenny williams because they said it would sound less ethnic and i would be able to get more roles and my dade said don't you dare do that. >> leonardo dicaprio was such a great nachlt last week was valentine's day. i'm wondering what it takes to

be mrs. dicaprio. i'm not asking a name. what are you looking for that makes you happy? >> humility a good sense of humor, and not a lot of drama. >> everybody wants you do get married, and by everybody, i mean me. >> you? you too? >> i do. when you're ready. is it something you envision for yourself? i've read different things. >> the truth is it's going to happen when it happens, and i'm just going to let it happen naturally. >> do you need my help? >> i'm all right. >> are you good? >> i'm good for now. >> what a surprise. lee oh doesn't need my help. >> i love the qualities that he's looking for. humility humility, a sense of humor, no drama. >> think men everywhere applaud you on that. and if she makes her own clothes and plays the piano that's a plus too. good old-fashioned girl. it was interesting to me that

i'm surprised silicon vanly can't help them out. >> why is it so important important? >> look. here's one author. one said it i think best. he said this is really going to help our store, but more importantly somebody shining a light on the situation and the situation isn't just bookstores but bookstores as we know them it's changing really really fast and they're in jeopardies. libraries as we know them, it's changing very very rapidly. >> explain why that doesn't change, the benefits we get out of that? >> i think on the bookstore level it's community, getting kids reading, getting involved with schools. independents can do a better job and schools in connections with their local stores. in terms of the real big picture, it's just american literature. if we don't have strong publisher, who's going to find the next infinite jest or "to

kill a mockingbird?" how is that going to happen? i think it's going get hurt. that's a problem. and kids reading. that's a problem. not as many people are going into stores now which means not as many parents are going on. >> i know. there's such a popularity with ebooks. isn't there something beautiful about the serendipity of bookstore and you walk up and down the aisle and you find a book that you wouldn't have found on an electronic device? >> i think ebooks are good and fine too. the problem is kids have not brought it up. they can have ten phones but three readers? are kids going to buy books? >> yeah that's an okay thing. it's going to go that way a bit more but right now kids are not reading ebooks which is ironic. they love devices and readers. >> how far are you going to take

years, the early love of my life and she developed a brain tumor, and the story -- and they say it was inoperable. and the story we told each other. she had a seizure on broadway and we said isn't it lucky that you didn't die that day on broadway and we have today. that to me is great story for life. i mean look we all unfortunately have a death sentence but we can't get it through our heads, but if we could think, isn't it lucky that we're here today and doing whatever we're doing and you know, so that's the story we tell one another. that's a big part of first love. >> the thing is everybody remembers their first love. i love the title. everybody remembers that. thank you, james patterson. good luck with your campaign. we'll follow you. >> those stores that need help we're here to help. >> thank you, james. >> we'll be right back.

this has happened to all of us. you're on an elevator with a group of people. we all are looking at our smartphones. you can be on the elevator with six different people and no one is communicating. >> yes. >> one of the things i like that we did in the magazine we give you different things encourage you different ways to engage with people. i tried this today. i said to the group in the elevator, did you want to hear an elevator joke? people were like, sure, go ahead. >> what was the joke. >> what did one elevator say to the other elevator? i think i'm coming down with something. see, isn't that good? >> terrible. worst joke i ever heard. >> it's so terrible it's funny. >> that was gayle last night with piers morgan. >> loneliness is ram

your realtime captioner is linda macdonald. good morning, everyone. 8:55 on your thursday. let's get you updated on some bay area headlines. i'm frank mallicoat. someone in the south bay is really happy right now. he is holding the ticket to the winning lottery ticket. the powerball jackpot $425 million. the ticket was sold at the dixon landing chevron in milpitas. the gas station will receive a bonus of a million dollars, as well. how about that? tesla is going to get a lot busier this year. the electric car company out of palo alto turns out about 600 cars a week. this year they plan to increase production to 1,000 a week. tesla will also start selling its model s in china next month. and 15-year-old figure skater polina edmunds took 7th place in yesterday's olympics short program. today the san jose native will take the ice for the free skate, the second half of the ladies figure skating competition. of course, we wish her all the best. you know, it's winter games

but it sure doesn't feel like that here, lawrence, does it? >> not at all. it's going to feel a whole lot like spring around the bay area today as high pressure builds overhead. we have had a weak offshore wind kicking in too so other than a few high clouds cruising on through it's going to be a gorgeous day out there. overlooking russian hill towards the golden gate bridge. we have sunshine and those high clouds continuing to move on by. we'll see that on and off throughout the day but that's not going to hamper the temperatures. in fact, these numbers today soaring near 70 degrees in the napa valley and 67 in san jose, 67 in mountain view and 64 degrees in system san francisco. i think as we look toward the weekend even a little bit warmer, maybe a couple of low 70s, too. but next week get ready, we've got a little rain coming our way. we're going to check traffic when we come back.

the tacos tonight were pretty much perfect. make the switch. look for jennie-o ground turkey in a store near you. good morning. out to san mateo county. we do have a traffic alert now for an overturn likely injury crash. expect some very big delays westbound 92 lanes blocked approaching highway 35. you can see this latest tweet from "kcbs traffic." a sig alert issued for westbound 93 at lower 35 san mateo highlands due to the overturn truck. still no estimated time when they are going to be able to re- open lanes. in the meantime, outside we go here's a live look at the nimitz freeway. 35 minutes between 238 and the maze. it is gridlock like what you see there all the way towards your downtown oakland exits. the bay bridge much improved. metering lights are on. but very short delays.
