welcome to "cbs this morning." charlie rose is on assignment. gayle king is off and anthony mason is here. >> hi. how are you doing? >> good to have you here. >> great to be here. we'll begin with the search for the missing malaysian airliner. it is much larger this morning and there's a new report which focuses on how flight 370 may have first strayed off course. >> "the new york times" reports the flight's initial turn to the west was carried out through an onboard computer. command was probably typed in by somebody in the cockpit who knew the system well. seth doane is in kuala lumpur and just got a response to that report. >> reporter: citing u.s. officials raised the possibility that the plane's turn westward was entered into an onboard computer, possibly even before it took off. i took that question to officials at today's press briefing. was the plane's path the

westward direction programmed into the aircraft flight management system? >> as far as we're concerned, the aircraft program -- >> malaysia airline ceo says it could be speculation but i asked if it was possible. >> is it possible? is it something you're considering? >> anything is possible. >> we got our first upclose look at the southern corridor on monday, one of two vast areas where crews are searching for flight 370. >> the plane is normally designed to search and hunt submarines. >> reporter: the u.s. navy invited cbs news on board its p-3 orion. have you been told to look for something in particular an entire plane, pieces of a plane? >> nothing in particular. we know that the plane is missing and any kind of debris that might come up from a plane, that's what we're looking for right now. >> reporter: with navy planes

covering the sky, the pentagon announced it was removing its ship, the u.s.s. kidd from the search operation after it combed the andaman sea and found nothing. with no sign of the missing airliner and frustrations growing, investigators continue to look closely at the passengers and crew. this surveillance video, which we've not been able to independently verify purportedly shows the pilot and co-pilot going through security. peter chong is a friend of the pilot. >> i would choose captain zaharie if given a choice of a pilot, even today. >> reporter: chong says the stress is mounting. is this because of your relationship with captain zaharie or because of -- >> because of humans.

i think it's not just me. i think -- >> reporter: in china, some passengers' families have threatened a hunger strike if they do not get answers soon from malaysian authorities. meanwhile, china's government said today it was deploying 2 satellites to help refine that search area. anthony, norah? >> seth doane. thanks, seth. the search area for flight 370 this morning now covers 7 million square miles. while it's still possible the jet flew along a northwestern curve american officials believe it's more likely the plane traveled across a southwestern proute across the indian ocean. >> the combined range is so vast it's like searching all of russia. michio kaku is a professor who joins us now. good morning. >> good morning.

>> we know this is the third largest ocean in the world. what is our biggest concern? what's everybody's challenge? >> hollywood has us brainwashed into thinking we can locate a cell phone in the middle of the ocean. wrong. it doesn't work that way. the indian ocean is basically a dead zone, a black hole with regards to radar. remember that even in the atlantic ocean, where we can actually map the atlantic ocean, it took 17 years to locate the titanic and it took two years to locate the flight recorder even though we knew precisely where air france went down in 1979. it's like finding a needle in 10,000 haystacks. >> michio since 1988 83 large aircrafts have in fact vanished, disappeared. is there a chance we may not find this plane? >> yes there is a chance we may never find the wreckage.

first of all the indian ocean has currents. ocean currents. time is not on our side. the debris field, because it's larger and larger with time goes by. the good news however, is that the flight recorder emits an ultrasonic beacon. bad news is that it has a battery life of 30 days. after 30 days the flight recorder goes blank and we go blind. >> you mentioned air france flight. the average depth of the indian ocean is about that same amount but there are deeper areas of the indian ocean. if that plane is somewhere deeper, will we be able to find it? >> that's a problem. conventional submarine cannot go down two miles underneath the surface. it would be crushed like an egg shell. we have to have robots robs to go down and find it. very slow very time consuming and very expensive.

and so time is not on our side. we have to find the wreckage soon, while the flight recorder is still emiting this beacon before currents wash the debris into different areas. time is not on our side. we have to find the flight recorder. find the wreckage soon or else we may never find it. >> all right. professor michio kaku thank you very much. russian president vladimir putin made crimea part of russia this morning, at least in the eyes of kremlin, sign aid treaty formally absorbing the region after addressing russian lawmakers today. the parliament cheered repeatedly as putin defended the takeover. he called crimea inseparable from his country but putin vowed not to pursue more ukrainian territory. vice president biden fired back. reinforcing support for poland which borders ukraine. he says russia should expect

more sanctions like the one ss issued by president obama. >> deepen russia's isolation and greater tolls on the russian economy. going forward, we can calibrate our response based on whether russia chooses to escalate or deescalate the situation. >> bill plante is at the white house with what the administration could do next. bill good morning. >> reporter: morning, anthony, norah. annexation of crimea in two hours. vice president biden is in poland prochlsing additional sanctions. and president obama threatened further action when he spoke on monday. we also learned he will talk to the other g-7 leaders when he is in europe next week. at the same time the president is trying to leave the door open for a negotiated solution though it's not clear how hard any new sanction ss will fight.

president putin says that he has no plans to annex more of ukraine. and the russians are mocking the surnt sanctions. one of them dmitry reposin says they must have been written by a prankster and refer ss to president obama as comrade obama. >> bill plante thanks bill. other parts of the ukraine could go the way of crimea. charlie d'agata is in the eastern city of donetsk. charlie, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, anthony. ukrainian officials have already rejected any russian attempt to dismember the country they say they will not give up crimea under any circumstances and they're doing what they can to make sure the russians don't advance any further.

ukrainian forces dusted off dilapidated tanks. rag tag recruits were put through their paces. they know it's not much. but this is a show of force. this commander said in the next few days and weeks, 20,000 volunteers will be combat ready. they're moving their biggest guns to the border with russia. ukrainian forces showed us freshly dug trenches designed to at least slow down a russian advance but they're fighting a battle on two fronts here in eastern ukraine, not just to defend against the russians but the fight against pro-russian supporters here. they want the russians to come here, just like they did in crimea. we had to get through lines of riot police to speak to the kiev-backed governor here. he told us he was ready to do anything to protect his city of

don donetsk. >> >>. we'll do all that's possible to make the russian troops stay where they are, he said. and i'm sure that the border will stay secured. >> reporter: although this region is divided pro-ukrainians on one side and pro-russians on the other, many are worried about russians advancing here and as one pro-ukrainian supporter put it this is not crimea. >> charlie d'alsagad'agata, thank you. holding back hiring. louisiana, michigan and tennessee saw the biggest declines in their jobless rates. unemployment is one of the many issues the federal reserve is expected to address today as it kicks off a two-day policy meeting. janet yellen will lead the gathering as fed chair, holding her first news conference today

tomorrow. "the wall street journal's" chief economic correspondence jon hilsenwrath. good morning. >> good morning, anthony. >> what is swranet yellen up against? >> she's looking at a world of turmoil right now. in addition to the problems we're seeing in the ukraine and russia, the chinese economy, which is the second largest economy in the world, is slowing down. and that causes some uncertainty. other emerging markets have been battling different problems. the indians, for instance have been raising interest rates to try to bring down inflation. so yellen is trying to manage a domestic economy, which has been looking stronger at a time when the rest of the world looks like it is adrift in some turmoil right now. >> the fed has indicated that if unemployment gets to 6.5% they may raise interest rates. we're at 6.7%. >> right.

>> is that close enough? >> no it's not close enough. this is one of the big issues that yellen will have to manage in her first meeting. the fed pretty much made clear that they're not inclined to do anything this year. they're actually going to erase that 6.5% threshold they've been talking about. because inflation is very low, they think they can hold off for a while. everyone out there who is worrying about mortgage rates going up for instance and whether it's time to go out and refinance your mortgage right now, the fed wants to hold off because they think the economy is still pretty week. >> that's good news on the interest rates. jon hilsenwrathrath. >> the rolling stones canceled a concert tomorrow after mick jaggar's long-time girlfriend. amy adams, angelina jolie and tina fey. many questions about why she

would take her own life. >> at 8:30 am scott sent her assistant a text message, asking her to come by her new york city apartment. the nypd told cbs news that scott was found with a scarf tied around her neck hanging from a doorknob in an apparent suicide. standing 6'3" scott got her start as a fashion model. she left her utah home for paris in the mid 1980s. it was her relationship with rolling stone's front man mick jaggar, whom she started dating in 2001 that propelled her into the spotlight. >> who's that girl? what's that lifestyle? where is she going? how is she wearing it? >> reporter: five years later, she launched her own fashion line and jaggar was the supportive boyfriend. >> the look style to this kind of new colorful kind of -- >> reporter: her elegant designs made her a favorite of celebrities like madonna, nicole

kidman and even first lady michelle obama. scott's well-known friends responded to the news. bette midler on twitter, i am devastated. and editor in chief of american vogue called scott a total perfectionist, someone who absolutely embodied everything her marvelous clothes stood for. mick jaggar is on tour with the rolling stones in australia. a spokesman for the musician said he was completely shocked and devastated at the news of scott's death. >> last month she suddenly pulled out of london's fashion week, but her business was losing money. there are reports that she was $6 million in debt. tv pitch man and author kevin trudeau is off the air and out of business. he sold more than 850,000 copies

of "the weight loss cure they don't want you to know about." the federal judge who sentenced him yesterday called him, quote, deceitful to the very core. trudeau apologized saying he is a changed man. normally quiet fault line 4.4 magnitude, two miles from encino. no one was hurt and there was no major damage. it shook a 150-mile area including the studio of our los angeles station, kcbs. >> big earthquake right now. >> big earthquake. >> experts say the quake was the strongest to hit under the santa monica mountains in 80 years. time to show you some of this morning's headlines from around the globe. san francisco chronicle says a california college student is charged with trying to join al qaeda in syria. he was arrested yesterday near

the canadian border. they say he talked about plans to bomb the los angeles subway system. bitcoin hired a lawyer to clear his name. he says he did not work on it. >> new study from cambridge. saturated fat does not cause heart disease. they also learned that so-called healthy polyunsaturated threats like omega 3s did not prevent heart problems. new find about the big bang. ripples made in the fabric of the universe just after the big bang. it's evidence the universe went to an explosively fast and massive expansion in its early day. something einstein predicted a while ago. it's 7:19. ahead on "cbs this morning," how michelle obama's visit to

i'm thinking there must not being anything discussed of national security because they have me sitting in here. it was friendly, laid back. the thing that really sticks out with me whenever i meet people involved with the real ncis is how proud they are of the show. because it's given them an identity. it's given them more of an identity. >> right. >> people didn't know what ncis stood for. recruiting has gone up in the ncis, in the real ncis. they're very positive about what the show has done. mark harmon always says the star of the show is the agency itself. >> that's very cool. you started out as a stage actor. that's where your love was. i love what you said. you described theater as a collaborative art and hollywood as a competitive sport. >> i did. i can't believe -- that must have been later in the day when i said that. i can't imagine having said that early in the morning. yes. i've been very lucky in the competitive sport. that i've been able to work with and collaborate with people like mark harmon. it's so rare you get a chance to
