oh! >> this morning's "eye-opener" is presented by toyota. let's go places. welcome to "cbs this morning." good morning, norah. >> good morning, charlie. i guess there might be a potential include. >> an interesting story. a "wall street journal" report is raising new questions about what happened to malaysia airlines flight 370. the story claimed that american investigators believe the boeing 777 flew for four more hours after dropping off radar. it says the plane's engines automatically sent data about the airliner's movement to facilities on the ground. >> if the report is true, that would mean the plane could have flown more than 2,000 miles beyond its last confirmed location. that is between malaysia and vietnam. now, the "wall street journal" says the -- the u.s. counterterror officials are looking into whether the plane was diverted with the intention of using it for, quote, another purpose. now, the story is getting a strong response.
7:04 am
clarissa ward is in kuala lumpur, and in the room when malaysian officials denied these claims. clarissa, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, norah and charlie. well, malaysian officials were really categorical in their denial of this "wall street journal" report, and they said that rolls royce and boeing are also refuting the report. >> i would like to refer to news reports suggesting that the aircraft may have continued flying for sometime after last contact. malaysia airlines confirm shortly those reports are inaccurate. >> reporter: while they denied the "wall street journal" report, they did not offer any new information as to the whereabouts of the aircraft. search teams set out with high hopes this morning after satellite images released by the chinese government from sunday appeared to show three suspected floating objects, including a 50-foot piece of debris in the south china sea. but after a full day of searching by air and by sea,
7:05 am
malaysian and vietnamese investigators came back empty handed. >> we went there. there's nothing. >> reporter: the objects were spotted off the southern tip of vietnam, about 150 miles from where the plane made its last contact. but nowhere near the area where malaysia's air force chief said a ghost military radar had picked up an unidentified signal. >> we owe it to the families of those on the flight to follow up every lead, and on that basis, we dispatched extra ships and aircraft to search the area. >> reporter: the malaysian military has asked american investigators for help in analyzing the radar blips. today, china's premier said his country will not give up on search efforts, quote, as long as there is a glimmer of hope. 154 chinese nationals were on board the missing aircraft. malaysian authorities have received some criticism for their handling of this
7:06 am
investigation. today, they really defended themselves against those claims. they said, listen, this is an unprecedented situation here. the plane simply vanished. norah, charlie? >> thanks. with us is captain sully sullenberger, cbs news aviation and safety expert. good morning. >> good morning. >> how can we analyze this "wall street journal" report? what does it say to your experienced eyes? >> it's good that we finally have some hard evidence, but this opens up a whole host of new questions. there's still much we don't know. apparently we were sent engine data that includes altitude and speed, but not direction or position. so it actually enlarges many fold the potential search area. >> but the idea that it's being denied by the malaysians, and they're suggesting other sources have denied it, as well, i mean, how do you get some sense of the truth of the story? >> i would love to talk to rolls-royce and boeing to see what they know and what they make of this story. >> let me ask you, if you have a
7:07 am
plane that has the responder turned off and yet the plane is flying on for another four ho s hours, what does that mean the pilots are doing? are they knocked out? is everybody on board knocked out? what possibilities does this open? >> it opens up a whole new series of possibilities. we still don't know -- >> a la the payne stewart plane, remember? >> yes, rapid depressurization where everyone is unconscious. is it a criminal act, act of terrorism? some incompaapacitation of the plane. it corner have turned east or west. that means pretty large bodies of water, make it very difficult to find, right? >> it would. >> yeah. >> it's a huge area. it's important that satellite imagery of the entire area be used and examined to narrow the search in any way that can be done. >> one final question. if rolls-royce is getting data from their engines about how
7:08 am
those engines are doing, what else might we learn from that? >> well, it would certainly tell us how well the engines are performing, the altitude and speed, so it would give an indication, is this a high-altitude cruise flight, at normal cruise speed, and it helps us know how far they might go, if not exactly where. >> if you could talk to one person today about this, who would you want to talk to? >> rolls-royce and boeing. two people. >> all right. captain sully sullenberger, great to have you here. thank you so much. >> good to be with you again. a car plowed into a crowd overnight attending the south by southwest festival. it happened outside a nightclub in austin. nearly two dozen others were hurt, five critically. the driver is under arrest this morning. adam of k.i. reports from the scene. >> reporter: good morning, charlie and norah. we're standing about two blocks from where this all came to an end at sotheby southwest. the police tape is still up. this morning, police have arrested a man they say drove through a crowd of people.

7:10 am
impacted by this person's criminal offense. >> cpr. >> reporter: according to published reports, the driver made a run for it, but was apprehended by police. he has been charged with two counts of capital murder and another 23 counts of aggravated assault. and austin police say their traffic management plan for the festival has worked for years, but after something like this, they will go back and review it. charlie, norah? in new york city, firefighters found a seventh body this morning in the rubble of an explosion that levelled two buildings. this google image shows what used to stand there. this is what it looks like now. officials blame the disaster on a gas leak, but many questions remain. six people are still missing, and an excavator is at the site this morning. michelle miller joins us from east harlem as the search for victims continues. michelle, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, charlie and norah. the pile of rubble is still burning as rescue crews use

7:12 am
company, con edison, to report a gas leak. >> con ed dispatched a team immediately to respond. the explosion occurred before that team could arrive. as soon as the explosion was called in, fdny responded literally within two minutes of the call for help. >> reporter: residents said they smelled gas in the days leading up to the blast. investigators tell us they'll examine how the utility provider handled any reports that might have been made. >> we'll be looking at con ed's call logs to see when the first calls started coming in to report such. that will definitely be part of our investigation. >> reporter: dozens of people remain hospitalized, including children, one in critical condition. the salvation army and the red cross are both helping those who are displaced yesterday by the blast to find housing. charlie, norah? >> michelle miller, thank you. and the public battle between the senate intelligence

committee and the cia is growing this morning over a confidential report on the spy agency. the committee's top republican says a special investigator may now have to get involved. nancy cordes went directly to the head of the cia in search of answers. she's on capitol hill. good morning, nancy. >> reporter: good morning, norah and charlie, and our viewers in the west. well, this unusual case is now dividing not just the cia and the senate, but senators themselves. that's because many republicans never wanted to investigate the cia in the first place. they didn't have a problem with its enhanced interrogation tactics, and now they feel democrats are making too many uncomfortable details public. cia director john brennan was on the hill wednesday, but ignored our questions about his agency's dispute with congress. mr. brennan, did your agents spy on senate intelligence staffers? can you tell us anything about the situation? brennan denies claims made by
7:14 am
senate intelligence chair, democrat dianne feinstein. she says brennan informed her earlier this year that cia agents searched her committee's computer system while the committee was investigating the cia's bush-era interrogation program. >> the cia's search may well have violated the separation of powers principals embodied in the united states constitution. >> reporter: outrage spread wednesday with republican darrell issa, who chairs the house oversight committee, calling the cia's actions, if true, effectively treason. but not all republicans shared his view. after meeting with director brennan, senator saxby chambliss, the top republican on the intelligence committee, argued the facts are still murky. >> both parties have made allegations against one another, and even speculated as to each other's actions, but there are still a lot of unanswered questions that must be addressed. >> reporter: the committee's investigation of the cia
7:15 am
initiated by democrats took four years, cost $40 million, and yielded a 6,300-page report which is still secret. >> i am absolutely committed to declassifying that report. >> reporter: in his first public comments about the controversy, president obama declined to take sides. >> that's not something that is appropriate role for me and the white house to wade into at this point. >> reporter: a top cia lawyer argues it's the intelligence committee that committed a crime when staffers copied and removed a sensitive document from a cia facility. democrats call that charge rank intimidation, and all of this will continue to get hashed out at an intelligence committee hearing behind closed doors at 11:00 p.m. thousands of russian troops are taking place in exercises near the border of ukraine. the show of military might comes with a secession vote sunday. john kerry leaves for london in hours to meet with his russian

7:17 am
>> reporter: yatsenyuk said he would welcome direct talks. >> my message to president putin, mr. putin, tear down this wall. the wall of war intimidation and military aggression. >> reporter: in four days, crimea is expected to vote to break off from ukraine. soon after that, the russian parliament will decide whether to accept it as part of russia. yatsenyuk said he fears putin might try to take more of ukraine. if that happened, kerry told lawmakers wednesday, it would trigger extremely punishing sanctions on russia. >> it can get ugly fast if the wrong choices are made. and it can get ugly in multiple directions. >> reporter: now, the question is whether the u.s. can convince russia to back off and start direct talks with ukraine. if not, president obama said there will be costs, and not just from the u.s. on monday, the e.u. is poised to

8:03 am
street journal" report. they said the plane's last transmission was received at 1:07 saturday morning and said rolls royce and boeing were refuting the report. they didn't offer much in the way of new leads. there is a sense that people are getting frustrated with the process. they were trying to defend themselves against the accusations that they haven't been terribly efficient in the handling of the investigation. they said the plane simply vanished. for cbs this morning, kuala lumpur, malaysia. this morning pope francis marks his first anniversary leading the world's 1.2 catholics. francis tweeted please pray for me. it has been a year of change for the church and the transformation is not over. >> the cardinal set the tone for
8:04 am
his papacy the night he was elected. the carnival is over he told the other cardinals. the revolution was about to begin. among the ones to be rejected the palatial apartment, good enough for the cardinals, good enough for him. instead of the papal limo a simple ford would do. instead of an entourage he carried his own bag. this was the papacy of gesture. >> he is a man who hasn't any relation with the mentality or
8:05 am
resource. this is the real novelty. this is shocking for the vatican. >> the shocks would get bigger. francis would make rules in what he did, washing the feet of nonchristians and in what he said to a church which had called homosexuality and intrinsic disorder, this pope said who am i to judge. francis was elected to reform the church to cleanup financial corruption. he may not want to change the church's core doctrine but does seem intent on changing the way the doctrine is applied. in a year pope francis changed the atmosphere in this place. for cbs this morning i'm mark phillips in rome. >> cardinal timothy dolan in new york is part of the conclave
8:06 am
that elected pope francis. they join us for an interview you will see only on cbs this morning. welcome. >> good to be with you. >> did you guys get more than you would imagine you were getting? >> i think we knew what we were getting but he has done it so successfully and effectively. i think that is an extraordinary present surprise. >> taking the world by storm. i think the eyes of the world are on the church. i think there is a real call to make us more pastoral, to be able to reach out and comfort people. the pope did it the way jesus said. don't just tell people to do something but do it yourself. he has been a great role model. >> he did an interview where he
8:07 am
said depicting the pope as a superman is offensive to me. he said a pope is a man who laughs, cries, a normal person. that isn't how people see him. >> here is what i think may be a little frustrating to him. the more simple ahe wants to be the more sincere he wants to be. the more his popularity goes up. that shouldn't surprise us because that is the gospel. jesus goes when you get rid of pop and prestige and power and clout people love you and accept you more. that is happening with him. his ability to shy away from attention ask put the spot light somewhere else is only intensifying. >> he puts the attention on the person in front of him and people love that. don't we all love to be noticed. >> there is no doubt that his
8:08 am
popularity ratings are soaring and people have returned to the catholic church. he said in this interview that women can and must be more present in the places of decision making in the church. they are not going to become priests. where do you see women will have a greater role? >> i can say to begin with, i think there will be more opportunities for consultants and leadership among women. i think he is going to call us on the local level. it is not enough just to look to rome. i think we look to our parishes and archdioceses for the level. i think the first thing we do is acknowledge the women who are already contributing. we make mistakes sometimes when we don't acknowledge what is happening. >> you know what, he has done something profound in saying we are not just talking about function here for women. he is reminding us it doesn't
8:09 am
take one of these, a collar, to have responsibility, leadership in the church. it takes love and service. and women are icons of that. he has spoken about not functions and roles but a new theology of women. >> he has talked about the secrecy inside the vatican and changing that. there has been a lot of talk about vatican finances. he is making changes on that front, too. >> just began a new council, secretary on economy. a good friend of yours appointed. >> when he comes to new york i want him on the show. he is a rugby player. >> it will be done. >> no nonsense type of guy. i think the pope wanted to appoint a lay woman or lay man in that position. he said i need a cardinal so he
8:10 am
appointed a guy known as a no-nonsense realistic straight talking australian. he will get things done. >> and the council is half lay. >> and looking after the poor, he has challenged the banking and all of those things. if this pope wanted to change doctrine, how would he do it? >> well, his responsibility -- and he himself says over and over again i'm a son of the church -- his responsibility is to preserve and hand on timeless teachings of the church. i think it is strategy. sometimes people make a mistake that means nothing new is going to happen. that's strategy. you can see the difference he has made in his own pastoralal strategy. that is really what we are talking about, not timeless teachings of the church. >> can the church doctrine be changed? >> doctrine itself can't be.
8:11 am
substance, what we receive. when you get to the doctrinal core, the substance of what god has revealed to us in the bible and natural law in ask through the church, that is a pretty close, kind of small nugget of timeless truth. he can't change that. the way it is presented and the discipline of the church -- a lot of things churches do that are not doctrinal that are part of our style, our strategy and methodology. that he can and will change. >> one of the things he says over and over again see the person before the rule. that is a major change. that is a change in emphasis. in general he doesn't see the rule. >> see first the person. accompany the person. >> that is a major change in pastoral emphasis. absolutely. >> just saying who am i to judge really rocked the world. good to see you both.

on october 11, 1991, people in more than 20 million homes tuned in to watch a young black law professor named anita hill. she testified before an all-white, all-male senate judiciary committee. hill says she endured repeated acts of sexual harassment while working for supreme court nominee clarence thomas at two agencies. the graphic allegations divided the country over gender, race and politics. it's now part of a new documentary called "anita." >> my purpose was to speak as clearly as possible, tell the senate about behavior that i had
8:42 am
experienced at the hand of clarence thomas. i couldn't say, oh, well, i'm going to prove sexual harassm t harassment. i couldn't do that. i could say, this is what i'm going to do. i'm going to tell what happened to me. >> in 1981 i was introduced to now-judge thomas by a mutual friend. he was, in fact, appointed as assistant secretary of education for civil rights. he asked if i would become his assistant and i accepted that position. after approximately three months of working there, he asked me to go out socially. with him. what happens next, and telling the world about it, are the two most difficult things -- experiences of my life. it would have been more comfortable to remain silent, but when i was asked by a representative of this committee to report my experience, i felt
8:43 am
that i had to tell the truth. i could not keep silent. >> the senate confirmed thomas 52-48, the narrowest margin in a century. thomas denied the allegations calling the hearings a circus and claiming, quote, it is a high-tech lynching for uppity blacks who in in way deign to think for themselves. hill will return to her job but life was never the same. anita hill, good morning. >> good morning. >> it's been 23 years. >> yes. >> and you've resisted, really, speaking publicly. you've had a very private life. why do this documentary? >> well, the documentary really is a reminder that, in fact, it has been 23 years. and because i teach on a university campus, i am aware that we have a whole generation of people who have left, who have been born since the hearing, gone into the workplace, graduated from college. some people have gone into the
8:44 am
military. and these issues continue. and so the issues are out there. and now a new generation is facing them. and we need to come to terms with our past so that we can learn and move forward. >> let's go back to the past for just a second because what surprised me is that when you -- when you testified, you did not intend to make this public. you had sent a confidential statement, you thought. you had no intentions of going and testifying in front of the senate committee. and jill abramson said at the time, you basically walked into a lion's den. what did you think was going to happen? >> i absolutely understood they were going to ask questions but the level of outside incidents of press conferences and statements about me that were made by people who were on the committee, i think, were so far beyond what i expected to happen. i expected to be able to give my testimony, for them to ask probing questions because i really wanted people to
8:45 am
understand exactly what had happened. but i didn't think that all of the outside campaigning that was done against my testimony, by the people who were supposed to be determining what the truth was, was appropriate. >> now when you look back, having just said that, do you think the hearings were fair, when you look back at it today? >> no, no, i don't. >> why? >> don't think they were fair. again, the people who are the finders of fact, the triers of truth, were outside campaigning against me. it would be like having a judge on a judicial panel outside giving press conferences about one of the witnesses. you can't have a fair hearing. >> but the questions from those senators was unfair or -- >> the questions themselves were not unfair. they were ill-informed questions. they were drawing on myths and things that had not been proven, things no one had sworn to. statements that i don't even know they are ak rats statements. senator simpson said he had letters and faxes but when asked to present them, he didn't
8:46 am
present them. i don't even know if they were, in fact, true. >> i was in college at the time and like many americans, i was riveted by these hearings. tens of millions of people that watched every day. clarence thomas was confirmed which you still believe to this day he should not have been confirmed. but what came from those hearings? what makes you proud about what came from those hearings? we had the record number of women elected to congress, sexual harassment laws were passed. >> the civil rights law passed in 1991, for the first time women when they proved their claims were able to fully recover. >> damages. >> fully recover the damages, the losses they had suffered. that was monumental. but, you know, as important as the women running for congress and the greater attention that we had with women going forward and filing complaints, were the public conversations and the private conversations that people had with their own family members, stories that they had never shared before.
8:47 am
and our ability to talk about the issue as a society has moved because of those conversations. >> people say because of you, anita hill, that girls today know sexual harassment is not okay and they can do something about it. i remember in october of 2010 jenny thomas called you, clarence thomas' wife, left a message on your voice mail asking to you apologize. when you heard that, what did you think? >> absolutely i had no intentions of apologizing. when i first heard it, i thought this was a prank phone call because i couldn't believe the wife of a supreme court justice would be calling me up at my workplace. but, you know, this was something that she had presented before, this idea that i should apologize. so, once she confirmed that it was, in fact her on the telephone, i wasn't entirely surprised. but i do think, again, it's inappropriate. because, actually, she's asking me to retract my sworn testimony, which was truthful.
8:48 am
>> beyond the obvious attention it's brought, how has it changed your life? >> my life has changed in so many ways. because of the attention it brought, because of the thousands of letters that i have from people around, talking about what the experiences meant to them in their workplaces. in 1991 -- or since 1991, we've come to terms with the fact that, yes, sexual harassment is wrong and it does matter and it exists, it's prevalent, but we still haven't figured out exactly what to do about it. so, in addition to my career as a professor and as educator and as a lawyer, i've been able to go out and try to help people understand how we can move forward and what we do need to do about? -t. >> thank you for coming. >> thank you. >> important part of history. the documentary "anita" opens next friday in select cities. you are watching "cbs this morning."
