7:00 am
way. thank you for watching kpix 5 news this morning. >> we are out of time on a monday. enjoy, everybody. >>. >> good morning to our viewers in the west. it is monday, march 10th 2014. welcome to "cbs this morning." the mystery over malaysia flight 370 intensifies. investigators rush to find answers about stolen passports. plus captain sully on the technology he says should be in every plane. the girlfriend of an american on board the missing plane tells seth doane why she's holding onto help. and "60 minutes" exposes data mining. this morning, our partners at cnet shows us how to fight back against companies tracking you online. first, your "eye-opener." your world in 90 seconds. >> we're now into day three, and
7:01 am
there's nothing to say as to what happened to this aircraft. >> a desperate search for malaysia airlines flight 370. >> vanished on its way to beijing, more than 239 people on board, including at least three americans. >> the stolen passports may have been tied to drug smuggling, unrelated to the plane's disappearance. >> the father of newtown gunman adam lanza is breaking his silence. he talked with "new yorker" magazine. he says he wishes adam had never been born and he'd trade places with the parents of his son's victims. >> a power 6.9 earthquake struck 60 miles off the coast. no reports of damage and no threat of a tsunami. >> in florida, a skydiver was hit by a plane as he descended. both survived with minor injuries. >> incredibly, a photographer was there to capture it. >> i never in a million years thought i'd see this myself. just a bad time, right place. >> investigators in southern california are trying to figure out what caused a frightening stage collapse this weekend.
7:02 am
>> u.s. weapons companies sparked outrage after running an ad where michelangelo's david is holding a rifle. >> all that? >> the real-life moment just like "rambo." a saudi man chases down a truck speeding past a police checkpoint. >> check this out. this court side proposal. >> will you marry me? >> and all that matters. >> they're moving into a different understanding of putin as a guy who can't be reasoned with. >> reasoned with because he's obsessed by the idea of restoring russia's grandeur? >> it's different goals. it's about bringing things to the table. they're different tables. >> a sleeping baby woken up by a backseat dance party. ♪ >> this morning's "eye-opener" is presented by toyota. let's go places.
7:03 am
welcome to "cbs this morning." charlie rose is on assignment so anthony mason is here. good morning. >> good morning. great to be here. >> great to have you here. as you wake up in the west there is still no sign of a malaysian airlines jet that disappeared about 72 hours ago. the fate of that flight from kuala lumpur to beijing is being called an unprecedented aviation mystery. >> an american navy destroyer is one of at least 40 ships and 22 planes searching an area more than 100 miles wide. one possible clue a pair of oil slicks, turned out not to be from the plane. seth doane is in beijing at a hotel where passengers' relatives and friends are waiting for any new information. seth, good morning. >> reporter: yes, that's right, anthony. family members, relatives, friends all waiting for information, waiting for news and not particularly encouraged by the news that investigators
7:04 am
behind this search are baffled by it. for more than two days a fleet of planes and ships have been combing every inch of the south china sea, officials claim looking for any sign of malaysia airlines flight 370. >> we are equally puzzled. the honorable prime minister used the word perplexing. >> reporter: according to authorities, the flight left kuala lumpur after midnight saturday, heading to bay gineijing. it was last detected on radar 1:30 a.m., 85 miles north of coastal malaysia. 2:40 a.m., at 35,000 feet, it made one last contact before vanishing. sunday, a low-flying plane appeared to spot a clue but at a press conference today, investigators said no debris had been verified. malaysian authorities are analyzing radar that indicates the flight may have turned back just before losing contact.
7:05 am
and today, they released the results of lab tests from two oil slicks that were not connected to the missing plane. >> the sample taken by the maritime agency are not from an aircraft. >> reporter: and they're reviewing security camera footage at the kuala lumpur airport, looking carefully at two passengers flying with stolen passports. while the search continues, family members of the 239 passengers and crew have been told to prepare for the worst. "why can't they find the plane?" the sister of a passenger asked us. "science and technology are so developed. how can a thing as large as a plane just be missing?" investigators say they're just as eager to find answers. >> many parts of the aircraft for us to analyze, for us to do quality study, for us to
7:06 am
determine what really happened to the aircraft. >> reporter: yes, and there are so many people waiting for answers. family members of passengers here at this hotel, and as they have gotten no clear answers, tensions are raising. so far investigators have not ruled anything out. they haven't ruled out hijacking. they say they are evaluating all possibilities. anthony, norah? >> seth doane, thanks. officials from the faa and the national transportation and safety board are in malaysia to help investigators track down the plane. three of the passengers are american. bob orr is in washington with a look at what might have happened in midflight. bob, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, anthony and norah. investigators desperately do need to find the wreckage and the jet's data and voice recorders to better zero in on a probable cause, because for now as seth reported, nothing can be ruled out. intelligence analysts are still trying to learn the actual names of the two passengers who were traveling on stolen passports. we do know the two men bought
7:07 am
tickets on the same day through an agency in thailand, but so far, we're told there is no evidence that they were terrorists. it's just as likely or possible i should say that the two were using phony papers to seek refuge in another country. now, the lack of a distress call is fuelling speculation about possible terrorism. the boeing 777 vanished while cruising at 35,000 feet. and that's led to some suggestions that the pilots should have had time to notify controllers of some kind of an emergency. but a sudden catastrophic event -- say a major systems failure or structural failure -- could have left the pilots with their hands full because it's important to understand that crews are trained to fly the plane first before communicating concerns about a potential problem. now, this mystery, i have to say, is reminiscent in many ways of an air france crash in june 2009. in that one, an airbus jet disappeared over the south atlantic while flying from brazil to paris. it took several days for searchers to find the very first wreckage, and then two years for
7:08 am
investigators to retrieve the black boxes. in the end, the crash was ultimately blamed on a stall triggered by faulty speed sensors compounded by pilot error. so it's an important lesson. it could be a while, norah and anthony, before we have solid answers in this case. >> thank you. cbs news aviation and safety expert captain sully sullenberger knows about flying a plane in the middle of an emergency. he's in san francisco. sully, good morning. >> good morning, anthony, norah. >> good morning to you. this defies explanation. i mean, what happened to this plane? how does a boeing 777 just disappear? what problems do you think the pilots could have encountered? >> well, as bob was just saying we don't know yet. absent any hard evidence you know, no wreckage having been found, having not found the recorders yet, all causes should be on the table. it's clear though that this happened suddenly and perhaps catastrophically, and as you noted, from personal experience and from talking to others who
7:09 am
have been in dire emergencies, i know exactly how the workload and the pressure of trying to find out what's going on can keep a crew busy when they're unable to communicate. what happened to us five years ago, with the hudson river landing, it was an advantage. we knew very early on exactly what had caused our engines to fail, the bird strike. so i didn't have to spend a lot of time trying to figure out what happened. i was able to go straight into how do i fix this situation. we don't know yet how complex or ambiguous the situation this crew may have faced. >> captain, this is a plane with a very good safety record and we have no distress call here. what does that suggest to you? >> that whatever happened was sudden and the crew was either very busy or unable to communicate. but once the recorders are found -- and i think they likely will be found, because the gulf of thailand is much shallower than the deep waters of the south atlantic -- then we'll begin to know more. and in the case of twa 800 in
7:10 am
july 1996 the ntsb re-created in the hangar a -- piecing together the wreckage that began in a forensic way to find out how the airplane failed how it was destroy. it turned out to be a fuel tank explosionment ult ment explosion. ultimately we will know why it happened and how it happened. >> what about the debate over live black boxes that could instantly transmit where the plane is other important information? why aren't those used? >> well, certainly, after the air france 447 flight in june 2009, that call went out for improved technology to help solve the problem of lost flight recorders. i just recently visited the boeing company, had a chance to fly the 777 and had the chance to visit the operations center where you could see every boeing 787 flying around the globe, and those airplanes automatically downlink operational status for reliability reasons.
7:11 am
so the technology is similar to what they're proposing, it could be done on newer airplanes relatively easily. >> all right, captain sully sullenberger, good to see you. thank you so much. >> good to be with you. >> one of the missing americans on flight 370 is phillip wood, an ibm executive. seth doane is going to speak to wood's girlfriend, who is still holding out hope. that's ahead right here on "cbs this morning." this morning, no damage or injuries are reported after a powerful earthquake struck off the coast of northern california. the magnitude 6.9 jolt was centered 50 miles west of eureka in the pacific ocean. the quake was felt from san francisco to southern oregon. a half dozen aftershocks followed, but no tsunami alerts had to be issued. and this morning, we are hearing from the father of the gunman who killed 26 people at sandy hook elementary school more than a year ago. one parent who lost a child that day has told us that the father quote, holds the key to this whole thing. don daler is here to show you what peter lanza is finally
7:12 am
saying about his son. don, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. adam lanza also killed his own mother and himself that horrific december day in newtown connecticut. his father peter, gave an extensive, just-released interview with "the new yorker" magazine. he said the only reason he is alive is he was not in newtown that day. when adam lanza took a rifle to sandy hook elementary school on december 14th 2012 his father peter hadn't seen him for more than two years, only getting periodic updates from his ex-wife nancy about their troubled son. adam had been diagnosed with as perger's syndrome and growing increasingly hostile towards his mother. with hindsight, i know adam would have killed me in a heartbeat if he had a chance. the reason he shot nancy four time was one for each of us. one for nancy, for him, his brother ryan, and one for me. peter lanza insists his son gave no warning signs that he had no idea adam was capable of such
7:13 am
unspeakable violence. nancy never confided to her sister or best friend about being afraid of adam. she slept with her bedroom door unlocked and she kept guns in the house, which she would not have done if she were frightened. he says only two victims' families have accepted his offer to meet with them. he said i need to get some good from this and there's no place else to find any good. if i could generate something to help them it doesn't replace. it doesn't. but i would trade places with them in a heartbeat if that could help. we spoke with one couple who reached out to lanza, alyssa and robby parker. their 6-year-old daughter emily was killed at sandy hook. >> i got the impression from him he was very grateful for the opportunity to offer his condolences and his apologies. >> reporter: as much as peter lanza revealed there is one matter he wants to keep private -- what he did for adam's funeral. no one knows that he says, and no one ever will. peter lanza made one more
7:14 am
startling admission. he recently started wishing that his son had never been born. he says that's not a natural thing when you're thinking about your kid. you can't mourn for the little boy he once was, he says. you can't fool yourself. norah, anthony? >> don, thank you. in a show of u.s. support, the white house will host the head of ukraine's new pro-western government this week. president obama will meet yatsenyuk wednesday, and the visit comes as vladimir putin strengthens his hold on crimea. the pro-russian area plans a referendum sunday over whether it should break away from ukraine. former defense secretary robert gates thinks the fate of crimea is already sealed. >> i do not believe we're going -- he's -- that crimea will slip out of russia's hands. >> you think crimea's gone? >> i do. >> and the number of republicans blame president obama for the crisis in ukraine.
7:15 am
on cbs's "face the nation," dick cheney told charlie rose that what's happening is the result of a weak obama foreign policy. >> we have created an image around the world -- not just with the russians -- of weakness and indecisive and the syrian situation classic. we got all ready to do something, a lot of the allies sign on at the last minute obama backed off. >> vice president biden cut short a trip to latin america to return to washington for wednesday's meeting. this morning, ukrainian media says he will address the u.n. security council. it comes ahead of sunday's vote. elizabeth palmer is in sevastopol. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. i can confirm the russian military control of the peninsula is pretty much complete. events have taken a political turn with this movement for crimea to join russia, turning into huge demonstrations over the weekend.
7:16 am
it's now less than a week to crimea's referendum, and emotions are running high. crimeans want to join russia sense victory is just around the corner. the u.s. and europe may see the vote and the russian invasion that prompted it are illegal, but these demonstrators don't care. "we will overcome all obstacles and restore historical justice," the interim prime minister told them. of course there are crimeans who disagree and are desperate to stay with ukraine. but their rallies aren't as big or as bold. the fact is the russian military, in cooperation with various armed militias, has tightened its grip here. over the weekend, unidentified men shot at a ukrainian border patrol plane, andve been digging holes, too, for a fence or, say witnesses, land mines along crimea's previously unmarked border. on the ukrainian side of that
7:17 am
border, the former boxing champion and now presidential candidate told the reporters the main task is to unite and not allow the country to split. but even as he spoke, the split was widening. ukrainian soldiers are stuck on their bases with no sign of reinforcements from kiev, and the movement to hand crimea over to the kremlin seeps to gain strength every day. now, that referendum set for next sunday is definitely going to go ahead, illegal or not. we've just been to visit the region's administration. they've already designed the ballots. >> this morning, the ntsb is investigating a bizarre skydiving accident near tampa, florida. a small plane got tangled in the strings of a skydiver's parachute saturday. they were less than 75 feet in the air. the cessna was doing takeoff and landing maneuvers. a photographer captured the moment of impact.
7:18 am
>> the plane caught the side of the canopy spun the airplane completely 180 degrees flipped the skydiver up into the air. you heard the airplane, the airplane impacted the parachute. it sounded like you falling face-first into your pillow. >> amazing. the skydiver fell to the ground and the plane nosedived and crashed. but neither man was seriously hurt. >> and it's time to show you some of the morning's headlines from around the globe. the star witness for the u.s. government testifies today in the trial of osama bin laden's son in-law. he took part in the shoe bomb plot. the defense argues his testimony can't be trusted because he was promised an early prison release. >> "the new york times" says jails and prisons around the country are enrolling inmates for health insurance under the affordable care act. states can save millions by letting medicaid pay for prisoners' hospital stays, lasting more than 24 hours. up to 35% of those now eligible
7:19 am
for medicaid under obamacare have had run-ins with the laws. >> more americans are turning to public transportation including buses and trains. they took nearly 10.7 billion trips last year the highest number in nearly 60 years. seattle, houston, miami, denver, san diego are leading the mass transit gains. >> and the detroit free press looks at the death of the last surviving grandson of henry ford. william clay ford helped lead the legendary motor company for more than 50 years focusing on design. he was also the longtime owner of the nfl's detroit lions. he was 88 years old. stormy weather to start the day. clouds moving on through now. rain showing up as well. so a wet start to the day this morning. rain moving on through. i think most of it comes through this morning, and that begins to wind down and sunshine in the afternoon. temperatures not all that bad.
7:20 am
69 in san jose. 68 in oakland and 66 degrees in san francisco. and then here comes the sun. spring-like weather the next few days. maybe some 80s by the weekend. yeah i don't know -- >> i love it. it's march, baby. it's time for toyota sales event. you have to let people know. >> i don't know! >> oh, come on, everybody loves a mascot. >> well, you try it, coach. >> bring it on. offer ends march 31st. for more great deals visit toyota.com. hundreds of families are waiting for word on malaysian flight 370, including the girlfriend of an american. >> i want some answers. but i also don't want an answer.
7:21 am

7:30 am
holy grab. this morning investigators in california are trying to figure out why a stage collapsed during a school performance saturday. the accident tossed students into the audience. 250 performers were on the anaheim high school platform when it buckled. all that weight may be to blame. at least 24 students suffered broken bones, bruises, and scrapes. more than 600 people were in the auditorium during the chaos. >> very scary. can you imagine if you're a parent sitting in the audience watching that? >> hopefully nothing too serious. welcome back to "cbs this morning." coming up this half hour, there's a potential break through in alzheimer's disease.
7:31 am
we're going to learn about a test that could spot the warning signs much sooner and see how personalized medicine is make it happen. it's at georgetown. >> georgetown. >> norah and anthony. "60 minutes" shows you how far companies are going in learning personal information. cnet looks at stopping those data brokers. that's ahead. we have more now on the disappearance of meleealaysia airlines, flight 370. two of the americans are young children and the third is philip wood h works for ibm asia. his girlfriend tells seth doane that she's not giving up hope. >> reporter: wood's girlfriend
7:32 am
would be impressed by the conference in malaysia. in part they said they're concerned about family members of these passengers who are watching every twist and turn of this story. >> the clothes in his closet are the worst. >> reporter: how so? >> i open the closet and it smells like him. >> reporter: american sarah bajac is trying to make sense of it. her flood was returning to help with their move to a new home and new life in malaysia. >> i often felt like it was too perfect. how could this happen. >> you met this guy philip and fell in love with him. >> and you're almost 50 and he just turned 50. and you find the love of your life, you know? a soulmate. how could fate have allowed him to come into my life only to take him away again? >> for now bajac, an economics
7:33 am
teacher cannot imagine unpacking the moving boxes littering her living room. >> it's going wait here until we find him. >> reporter: wood was one of three americans onboard the flight. bajac has been scouring the internet for information and says it's frustrating how few details are coming from authorities. >> my son had to tell me to turn my computer off. he put me on a schedule, you know. you can only look at the news so often. it makes you totally crazy. >> reporter: as woods designated next of kin contact, malaysian airlines has regularly been in touch but has had little to report. to her the investigation feels like it's moving in slow motion. >> you know, people all over the news are talking about people being already dead. everybody's completely just stopped paying attention to the fact that there actually could still be survivors, but there doesn't seem to be any of that urgency. and here's some of philip's
7:34 am
personal things. >> reporter: with no real answers, all she feels she can do is cling to hope. i mean when i have to -- until there's proof that philip is dead, i refuse to believe it of anybody that could survive something like this it's him. i mean he's such a fighter and he has so much to live for. >> there were a number of heartbreaking moments in that interview. one was when sarah told us that philip had been concerned he might have missed the flight. she broke down crying saying he almost did miss it. anthony, gayle norah? >> that's really tough. >> you have to hold out hope
7:35 am
until you know for sure. i get that. there's been a major development in the fight against alzheimer's. georgetown university scientist designed a blood test. they could learn of a person developing alzheimer's within three years of testing. >> it finds a 90% accuracy rate but more clinical trials are needed. dr. james galvin joins us. he's from langone new york university. how are you? >> good. >> they describe it as game-changer. how do you describe it as game-changer? >> we've had to rely on very expensive p. e.t. scans and blood tests. if the test holds out over time this could change the way we think about risks of developing alzheimer's disease. >> what can three years do?
7:36 am
what can be done? can you retard alzheimer's disease? >> you can give someone drugs to prevent them from developing the disease. the tricky part is we don't know who's going to develop the disease. it's the perfect storm. a test that can tell us, drugs that could stop it. going together it's a developing game. >> when's the horizon on this when it might be in use? >> a test like this will take two or three years before it could come to clinical use. the current clinical triers are going to take two or three ears. if it works, it would be approved. again, you're looking at the perfect storm. a test and a drug that might come out at the same time. might make a huge difference for many older adults. >> what is the benefit of knowing since it can't be treated? >> well, there are currently treatments that will -- we can effectively look at the symptoms of disease.
7:37 am
>> it can't be cured. >> we can't cure the disease, but knowing whether you're at risk for disease could make a big difference for many people. planning setting one's business affairs in order. also, you know take that trip that you want to take you know spend more time with your grandchildren. so there are a lot of things that from a personal aspect can make a huge difference if you know ahead of time. >> from a medical perspective, it's important too. >> we can look at getting on treatments helping with lifestyle modifications, hipping someone prepare their social network that's going to help them through the stages of disease. >> really promising news. thank you so much dr. galvin. >> thank you. >> coming whip'll talk with the science pioneer taking on alzheimer's and what he's planning next. up next, "60 minutes" looks
7:38 am
at data programmers. >> as you're going through the web and doing your searching, you've got a whole crowd following you. hi. i just finished an energy audit of this building and started my own dog walking business. what did you do to deserve that thin mints flavor coffee-mate? it's only one of the most delicious girl scout cookie flavors ever. i changed the printer ink. really? it's actually tricky. you're lucky i like your tie. enjoy our caramel and coconut girl scout cookies flavor. now available in powder. nestle. good food, good life. i do a lot oresearch on angie's list before i do any projects on my home.

7:42 am
(opera continues) this morn weg take a closer look at last night's "60 minutes" of massive data brokers. as steve kroft they track our every move online to sell our information to advertisers and retailers. he says no one knows how much is really being revealed. >> most retailers are finding out they have a secondary source of income which is the data about their customers is probably just about as valuable maybe more so than the actual product or service they're selling to the individual.
7:43 am
so there's a whole new revenue stream that many companies have found. >> reporter: that data becomes much more valuable when it's married to the personal information that's being volunteered on the internet. take 5 solutions, a data broker in boca raton, florida, runs 17 websites like good parents today and t5 healthy living where people can share their stories about family and health. what web users don't realize is take5 is take and selling the information and there's also an invisible side to the internet most people have never seen. when you're onsite you may think you're alone but you're not as he showed us using a software program called disconnect, which was created by a former google engineer. what's this stuff? >> so when you visit "the new york times" front page, there's a number of companies on the
7:44 am

8:00 am
good morning. it is 8:00 am in the west. welcome back to cbs it morning. a missing boeing 777 turns up nothing. peter greenberg with the puzzle behind the disappearance. the mothers of trayvon martin and jordan davis say florida's stand your ground law should be repealed. mark strassmann has their first tv interview together. and al qaeda may be trying to copy a website that inspired the boston bombing suspects. nypd's john miller is in studio 57 with new information. first on this march 10th, 2014, here is a look at today's eye opener at 8:00.
8:01 am
>> they are evaluating all possibilities. >> investigators desperately need to find the wreckage and get data and voice recorders, they better zero in on a probable cause. >> either the crew was very busy or unable to communicate. >> peter lanza made one more starting admission, started wishing that his son had never been born. >> russian military control pretty much complete. events have taken a political turn. a small plane got tangled in the strings of a parachute saturday. neither man was seriously hurt. if the test holds out over time, this could seriously change the way we think about risk of developing alzheimer's. >> a whole crowd following you. >> and some of the information will go to data brokers? >> definitely. >> is there any way you can protect yourself from this
8:02 am
information being gathered ? >> it's very difficult. there's so many of these data brokers. >> check out his dad during an interview in the stands. >> yes! yes! >> i'm gayle king with norah o'donnell and anthony mason. charlie rose is on assignment this morning. authorities looking for the missing malaysian jet says there's still nothing to go on. the two reported oil slicks do not come from the plane. there were 239 people on board the plane headed to beijing. >> it was 85 miles offshore at last check. dozens of planes and ships are searching a wide area of the gulf of thailand. seth doane is there where
8:03 am
families of passengers are waiting for news. >> reporter: so far, nothing has been found, two days into this search. officials involved with the search admitted to being baffled by this aviation mystery. just a couple of hours ago in vietnam, helicopters were dispatched to take a look at a yellow object that for a while, was believed to be part of that plane. it turned out it was not part of the missing plane. other incidents where search aircrafts have located debris and objects in the water and even oil slicks none of those so far have been officially connected to the missing airplane. one thing investigators do know is that two people traveling on board that plane were traveling on stolen passports. here in china, officials have urged malaysian authorities to step up their efforts when it comes to the search and at this hotel, where so many family members of passengers are desperately waiting for information, they have been told
8:04 am
to expect the worst. one passenger's sister asked me how can something as big as a plane simply go missing? anthony, gayle, norah? >> seven countries are involved in the search for flight 370. one official calls the disappearance an unprecedented mystery. peter greenberg is in los angeles. peter, good morning. >> good morning. >> we were all talking about this, this morning. how does a plane just disappear? they thought maybe the oil slick. they're testing that. they thought maybe they saw a life raft. didn't turn out to be. where is this plane, do you think? >> the speculation is rampant, as it is in situations like this. keep in mind investigators cannot rule anything in until they systematically and painstakingly rule items out. without anything to go on right now, they are truly puzzled because in a situation like this, there can only be two or three scenarios that leads them to believe what initially happened. first of all, did the plane suffer a catastrophic structural
8:05 am
failure at altitude? if that was the case that might explain why there was no emergency radio broadcast or transmission from the plane. the crew couldn't do t or was there weather involved? if there was a catastrophic failure in flight where is the widespread debris field, which you would have had, as you did on pan-am 103. >> even if it was a terrorist attack, you would have that as well. right, peter? >> exactly. so they don't know where to start looking. until they can start looking they can only rule one thing out at this point and that was weather. they know very much that the weather was not an issue. >> over the weekend we heard it happened during the safest time of the flight, that the weather was good apparently and that they were 35,000 feet in the air. what can you tell us about the tracking system that they're trying to locate desperately now? >> every plane carries with it what's known as n elt, emergency locater transmitter. upon impact it's battery powered on a 48-hour life span in which it pinpoints its
8:06 am
location to rescue satellites. there's been no transmission. on the plane going from sao palo to paris they also didn't find the transmitter because the plane was in the water. they're likely considering that the plane is definitely in the water and that 48-hour lifespan of the battery has long since been exceeded. >> two of the passengers on board were traveling with stolen passports and so there's questions about terrorism. i read in an article that stolen passports are rarely monitored and this happens frequently. passengers board planes more than a billion times without having their passport screened against the interpol database. how is that possible? >> certainly an alarming situation. it may turn out to be coincidentally to what's happened on the plane. but it's raising red flags not just in malaysia but around the world. you have go teams going for the national transportation safety board, including security and safety teams, terrorism teams from the fbi.
8:07 am
then you also have metallurgic teams. maybe most important, the human factor teams. they'll now be looking at the history of the pilots both the captain, co-pilot and the reserve pilot to find out what was going on in their lives. because the real puzzle here is not whether or not the plane couldn't transmit it. maybe there was something on the plane that wouldn't transmit or someone on the plane that wouldn't transmit. pure speculation at this point but that's what they're looking at. >> it is the story everyone is focusing on today. thank you, peter greenberg. always good to see you. protesters are marching on florida state capital in tallahassee, demanding the repeal of stand your ground. that law has come under scrutiny after the shooting deaths of trayvon martin and jordan davis. mark strassmann sat down with the mothers of those teenagers for their first tv interview together. >> reporter: good morning, gayle, norah and anthony. the mothers are here to join the protest demanding this law's
8:08 am
repeal. but florida legislature seems to be moving in the opposite direction. nine years ago, florida was the first of 26 states to pass a stand your ground law, allowing someone in fear of his life to use deadly force to stop an attacker. but opponents say it's a license to kill. >> we don't have to have a law in place that says i need to shoot and kill someone and then ask questions later. >> reporter: sabrina fulton both lost sons to gunman who used stand your ground defense. >> to make sure stand your ground tonight continue to happen. >> trayvon martin was unarmed when george zimmerman shot and killed him in 2012. >> not guilty. >> crime watch volunteer claimed self-defense. a jury acquitted him. just last month mcbath watched a jury deadlock in michael dunn's murder trial, claiming self-defense when he shot her unarmed son jordan davis during an argument over loud music. >> i thought oh, my gosh.
8:09 am
jordan is trayvon. >> people who use the stand your ground statutes are able to use it with no accountability. it gives them immunity for their criminal behavior. >> but florida appears ready to expand its stand your ground law, not repeal it. lawmakers are considering two bills that would allow anyone in fear of his life to fire a warning shot. >> i think it's a clarification. >> reporter: state representative neil combe, one of the bill's sponsors. in 2012, she fired a warning shot during a domestic dispute. a court rejected her stand your ground claim and sentenced her to 20 years under florida's gun law. >> it was never the intent to prosecute folks who fired a warning shot or displayed a weapon in a defensive manner to 10 or 20 years in state prison. >> fire the warning shot, but how is your life in imminent danger? >> i guess it's all about
8:10 am
placement, whether you place it in the ground, in the air or between somebody's eyes. >> florida lawmakers are now considering whether to expand the law, to include warning shots. >> i think that's heinous. more people will shoot their guns and claim well it was just a warning shot. >> reporter: anyone who fired a warning shot would still have to justify in court why he did that. this law is expected to pass florida's legislature and the governor is expected to sign it. gayle, norah, anthony? >> mark strassmann thanks mark. the next presidential election is more than two years off. rand paul is the man to beat for conservative republicans this morning. the kentucky senator was the top pick at this weekend's cpac gathering, winning 3 % of the straw poll vote. senator ted cruz finished second with 11%, dr. ben carson came in at 9% just ahead of

learn how to speak his language and he'll get the point. they only know one language. >> the video promotes an upcoming online magazine written in english. our former cbs correspondent john miller is with us. he's deputy commissioner for the new york intelligence. welcome back. >> good to be back. >> what do you make of this joid and magazine? what's going on do you think? >> i think like any organization, they go to what works, and one of the things that has worked for al qaeda almost more than many other things has been their publication of "inspire" magazine. if you look at the times square bomber, if you look at the boston marathon bomber, they turn to "inspire" magazine not just for as the namge suggests, inspire inspire, but for other things.
8:22 am
i think they're upping the ante here. when you look at the video which is promoting what's going to be this new slick publication, the idea of using a malcolm x video shows they're really targeting a u.s. domestic audience. in fact, i would suggest that the malcolm x piece suggests that they're looking more toward african-american converts. they're trying to widen their demographic here. >> i was going to ask you about malcolm x in particular using that particular phrase. what do you make of that? you think it's a direct appeal to blacks? >> i think if you look at it in the context of this and you widen that out to some of the religious debate over time over the nation of islam versus islam in general, this is a step in a direction that seems to have much more to do with marketing than religion.
8:23 am
>> john, who's behind this very slickly produced video? i mean it's high quality. and, two, can we track who's looking at those videos online given all the ability to track data as steve krau kroft reported? >> let's start with it. it's alpha harm. when you look at the tools that are available on your mac book and the different the different editing packages that are available, it doesn't take much to produce a slick video but it does in threaten and they're pretty good at that. >> huh much -- go back to the second part of your question. >> can we track who's looking at this video? >> groups like the nsa and other government agencies can look at it, but on the other end you're
8:24 am
going to find me and others from cbs. it's not necessarily dispositive you're looking at it. a lot of people are going to be looking at it. the core is can you figure out now who's looking at it who's going to act on it. that's a different kind of intelligence that you kent get by who visited. >> which leads me to my next question. how much influence do you think these videos and magazines have? >> a lot more than we would have estimated a long time ago, but if you go back to the boston marathon bombing, the times square bombing, the underwear bombing on the detroit flight the attempt to attack a subway each of them found twhar to these publications or videos first and then tried to contact the organization or just did it on their own. so i think the answer's a lot. >> john miller i miss you. >> i miss you always. >> are you enjoying your new job yes or no? >> yes. it's interesting, stimulating,

8:33 am
customers. senator franken, good morning. >> good morning. >> can you block this? >> i expressed my concerns that this will be bad for consumers of cable tv and the internet. comcast is the number one provider of cable tv the number one provider of the internet. time warner is the number two provider of cable tv and the number three provider of internet, and think this will be -- consumers will pay more less competition, less innovation and even worse service. >> their argument is they don't overlap in markets. you're laughing. >> i'm laughing because we're supposed to take great comfort from the fact that this is the number one cable company and the number two and they don't compete in any market so they're saying you should be happy that we have these
8:34 am
monopolies and now we're going to be one company with twice as many -- much monopoly. >> is the anything they can do to make you comfortable with this bill? >> yeah. what would make it comfortable? >> you know, we're going have hearings in the judiciary committee but i'm against this from everything i've seen. >> that was the question i was thinking. what would make it okay? you wrote the letter. clearly that hasn't changed. the nbc deal went through. >> i opposed the nbc deal. >> i know you did. >> look. we've seen cable bills go up about 6% a year since 1996. usually in technology if you think of flat screen tvs and computers, as technology evolves, things get cheaper. this has been going up twice. i sent out an e-mail to folks, to americans getting their feelings about what kind of service they get from comcast,
8:35 am
and if they think this deal will be good. i got 60,000 responses, and, believe me people don't like their service from comcast. they don't think this deal is going to help them. i don't think this deal is going to help them. it's not just about kachblt it's about the internet too. if you're a corn cutter this is -- this is too much concentration and it has implications on net neutrality and other things i'm very very concerned about. >> i want to gig get your take, just quickly though. at the end of the day, this merger is probably going to go through. >> well, you know, i think there's a little bit of a too cozy relationship between comcast and the regulators. you know last time with nbc, there were conditions placed on this in some part because i objected to what was going on and i asked the fcc -- also sent a letter to them saying look how well they've complied with the conditions.
8:36 am
and in me indications they haven't. the fcc's had to fine them. so this is -- what you're talking about is the fcc saying okay, but these are the conditions. but they don't have a great track record. >> you mentioned both of these companies provide internet service. about how much inform something's being harvested from consumers all over america. should the government be looking at regulating what's happening with this information? >> yeah. well, i've been looking at it. i'm chairman of the privacy, technology and the law subcommittee and there's a lot up there. you saw it last night on "60 minutes." i really believe that americans have a right to privacy, that they have a right to know what's being taken. what private inform something's being taken, and to give permission if they're going to take your private information such as your location information, that says where you go to the doctor where you drop your kids off at school, where

you live where you work what you do. last night's "60 minutes" is something i urge you to -- that's on cbs, isn't it? >> yes, senator, it is. >> i have a piece of legislation i'll be asking congress to pass. >> senator can i just say it's gra it to see you in the united states senate. but we all remember you from "saturday night live." >> thanks. >> do you go back at all. >> do i what? >> do you go back and watch the show? >> i watch the show. i'm a big fan of the show. think we're in our 39th year. >> don't we need more humor in the united states congress? >> no. >> well some would say mission accomplished then. >> see? gayle's very more obstacle on

their way home ukrainian revolution. elaine quijano shows us what the family went through to realize an american dream. good morning. >> good morning, gayle. the family arrived thinking they were days away from returning home with their four newly adopted ukrainian children. instead they were faced with upheave, unsure if they would return to the u.s. as family. don and his wife were told about angela, a tan ukrainian who would soon age out from the orphanage she was living. >> we went home and prayed about it. in the meantime he had sent a photograph. once we put a picture to a name, we knew we had to do it. >> the jenkins had already raised two biological sons but they decided to adopt angela in
8:39 am
part to give don the daughter he always wanted. during the adoption process they met her friend natalie and her sisters. >> he turned around ran, leapt into my arms. he grabbed her and he wouldn't have let go and i had to pry him off and i pulled him off. i said i think i got my sign. i said, this man is coming home with us. we knew he had a place to go. >> the couple filed applications to adopt all four children. they arrived in kiev and four days later a ukrainian judge finalized the adoptions. the new family posed for this picture outside the courthouse. >> we were so excited and nervous excitement because the kids were like oh we're going to america but at the same time they were leaving their friends and basically everything they knew. >> now all they needed were the children's passports, but as the days went on unrest boiled in kiev and their ukrainian facilitator gave them bad news. >> he said keep in mind that
8:40 am
some of those very people that may be fleeing the country may be the very people you're waiting on to get your passport. our thoughts were we started this as a family we're going home as family. we're not going to leave the kids behind. we wouldn't do that with our two sons back there and i'm not going to leave my kids there there's no way. >> the family was staying in a rented apartment a few blocks away from independent square. they could see the glow from nearby demonstrators and one night they came uncomfortably close. >> she went down to door and they were close to the door, 75 to 100. >> reporter: those demonstrators were peaceful but the situation was chens. the jenkins said they leaned harder on their christian faith. >> we hung our hats on our faith and went with it. >> they receive third passports and on friday they left, destination, kansas. 24 hours later family and
8:41 am
friends welcomed home the jenkins and their four newly adopted children. and the next morning despite or maybe because of all they've been through the jenkins family attended church services alongside the church members who had prayed for their safe journey home. >> my loving family was all there, the pastor introduced our family. the church family embraced us. it was beautiful. >> this weekend the jenkins held a belated christmas celebration complete with trees and decorations and presents for the fam children to open. they also introduced the kids to one of their favorite sunday rituals, lunch at mcdonald's. >> you can't go wrong with a double cheese berger, fries and an orange. >> orange? >> an orange soda. >> gayle, we used to do that. my favorite was a big mac. >> but i tlink's a special place for the jenkins because not only did they adopt four children
8:42 am
but they're not babies. most people don't find many people that adopt older children so that's just an amazing story. >> very good people. >> they'll always remember that. elaine quijano, thank you for that. how do some people make it to 80 while others live to over 100? scientist craig venture is in our green waking up to raindrops on this monday morning. our high-def doppler radar showing it falling apart as it moves on by. a lot of clouds still right now. yeah, we are still seeing rainfall sliding further to the south. won't be long, that will be long gone and we will see sunshine towards the afternoon. in fact, highs today still very comfortable. 60s and some low 70s. warmer weather expected over the next few days. maybe even some 80s next weekend.

craig venture is a pioneer in genome studies. he's here for an interview you'll see first on "cbs this morning." craig venture, good morning. >> good morning. great to be here. >> the buzz word here is longer and healthier life. what exactly are you doing? >> it was 13 years ago when my team sequenced the first human genome. that cost about $100 million and took nine months. now the technology has progressward we can do 100 for that same cost in that same time frame. so it's past that threshold where we can start to use it for the general practice of medicine. that's what we're doing. trying to balance it on top of each other the chemical data and bloodstream with the
8:47 am
clinical records to try to get medicine totally on an information basis. we can measure it all independently. we're trying to combine it in one of the world's largest databases. >> if you have all that data, what can you do with it? what does it mean. >> right now, for example, with cancer there's only two dozen genes called actionable. for example if you have lung cancer and you have change in the alk gene one letter change, 4% of the people have that with lung cancer. pfizer has a drug that is 60% effective in knocking back that cancer. so if you have lug cancer, that's the most important thing you can know is your genome and we're trying to change that to say instead of a couple of hundred the not thousands by actual data by looking across the entire genome in a database with a half a million to a million people over the next five years or so. >> answer this. genes are so important but aren't they just part of the
8:48 am
picture? what about the environment, lifestyle as to genetics. don't those play a role as well? >> absolutely. it will be our first chance to truly find out the answers to those questions. what's genetic, what's nature what's nurture. >> because we don't really know because as you know there are people who are 100 years old and have been smokinging for 40 years. >> exactly. >> you've been doing research. china, we did a story about it. they're getting $1.5 billion from the chinese. they're going to map millions and they're so far ahead of us. why? >> well, partly because of the money they got from the government, and i know the guys there. they're doing good work. the center we're just opening in san diego with the new instruments also based in san diego is much larger than the chinese program. so our center in san diego will be the largest one in the world doing genome sequencing. >> how are you getting people to
8:49 am
participate? can we call you on the phone and say, hey craig, put me in. what are you taking? are you taking my blood or my saliva? >> we're starting slowly and announced a major relationship with the morris cantercer center. the goal is to have every patient that comes into the cancer center we'll do their genome and do the genome on their tumor. this is the starting point. with i want to do the genome on any patient going into the hospital anywhere. that will be the starting point. we're also doing stem cell therapy. we're trying to come up with new treatments based on all this information as well. >> very important. >> thanks for being with us.
