the last complete handshake. i might emphasize it is not the final position of the aircraft. >> seth doane is in kuala lumpur where victims' families are demanding better answers. seth good morning. >> reporter: good morning. yes, officials today here in kuala lumpur used today's press briefing to go through those calculations that experts used using satellite data to try to determine where that plane went. talking with family members, what we're finding is that all of this data these new announcements, they're not answering questions. they're raising questions. and fueling frustration. anger poured on to the streets of beijing today in a rare public protest washed closely by police and paramilitary. passengers' families marched two miles to the malaysian embassy, carrying banners reading "give us an explanation."

malaysia airlines executives tried to do that today in kuala lumpur. >> we do not know how this terrible tragedy happened. but as the airlines family we are all praying for the passengers and crew. >> reporter: it was little solace for distraught families. some learned the news by a text message that read malaysia airlines deeply regrets that we have to assume beyond any reasonable doubt that mh 370 has been lost and that none of those on board survived. the airline said it tried to inform families in person and that the text message was a last resort. >> our sole motivation last night was to ensure that the families heard the tragic news before the world did.

>> reporter: selamat omar told us he has been receiving phone calls to watch these press conferences for information. his son was one of the 239 people on board. the flight ended in the indian ocean, he said but there is still no concrete proof. we still have hope. for you, there is no closure with this announcement? as far as we're concerned, he told us this is not the end. there is no conclusive evidence as yet. malaysia's parliament held a moment of silence this morning and with it a prayer for peace. so many here in mourning. selamat omar told us he would like to go to australia, given the opportunity. and malaysia airlines said they would fly them if debris was found. australian authorities would wait to issue a visa until evidence was, indeed discovered

and confirmed. charlie, clarissa? >> seth doane, thank you. the search for flight 370 is on hold this morning. bad weather over the indian ocean is keeping planes grounded. holly williams is in perth, australia, where the effort to locate the jet is now described as a recovery operation. holly, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. weather conditions out at sea are frustrating the search crews here in australia as well as everyone else who wants to find the wreckage of malaysian airlines flight 370. gale force winds and swells in the indian ocean forced search planes to stay ground today. conditions off australia's west coast where flight 370 crashed into the water are notoriously rough. the hunt for wreckage will soon become more difficult. >> it's going to get worse. we're going into winter. it will get much worse. >> reporter: they're running out

of time? >> pretty much yes. >> reporter: yesterday the crew of an australia orion aircraft spotted two objects in the water. one green and circular the other orange and rectangular. and several pieces of white debris were reported including something large and square shaped. there's still no certainty that what they saw was the wreckage of the downed boeing 777. based on his view of currents -- >> drifted 300 to 400 miles. that's the location we're predicting where the debris would be if the plane crashed in that particular location. >> reporter: he believes the search planes will find very little floating on the surface. >> most of the wreckage would be on the sea bed. >> most of the wreckage will have sunk? >> sunk yeah.

>> reporter: the navy has sent a robotic submarine to australia, equipped with so nar that can find debris even at 15,000 feet under water. the arial search operation will begin again tomorrow. charlie and clarissa? >> holly williams thank you. satellite technology that tracked the plane's final moments. officials say it was never designed for this use. jeff pegues visits one company. that's ahead. deadly muslide in northern washington may have been predicted. at least 14 people are dead. there are 176 reports of people unaccounted for. the seattle times said a scientist that studied the hillside above oso, washington 15 years ago warned the army corps of engineers for potential for large catastrophic failure.

danielle nottingham joins us now. >> reporter: it's already raining and the wet weather is expected to stay through the week. but that's not the only obstacle for rescuers. this wet ground in oso, washington, unstable three days after saturday's massive mudslide left a cliff 600 feet tall and 4,400 feet wide. rescuers are not only searching on foot. they're using helicopters, hover craft and specially trained dog. >> we're searching those areas that are safe to search and those areas where it's most likely we can find people that may still be alive. >> reporter: the dangerously unstable ground forced rescuers to suspend operations for a few hours monday afternoon. this search and rescue operation is especially difficult for dayn brunner, documenting with his own photos and videos. he says his sister summer was driving through oso at the time

of the mudslide and is among those missing. >> she was just on the road in that one and a half mile section during that time. it's just so random and so out of the ordinary that it's like why? you know why? why? >> i'm a man of faith. i believe in miracles. >> reporter: while search coordinators acknowledge prospects are grim they say this remains a rescue operation. still, no one has been pull add live from the debris flow since saturday. newly released photos show saturday's air lift operations by a local search team including the rescue of a 4-year-old boy. >> this is one of the worst tragedies i have seen in my life. when i think about families who are telling me that they can't find loved ones people telling me that their son, their daughter, their mother their father is missing it breaks my heart. >> reporter: one member of this family was killed another hospitalized. but as they sifted through the rubble of their destroyed home a miracle emerged amid the tragedy. >> oh, my god.

>> reporter: buddy, the family's chocolate labrador, was shaken but unharmed. the area is now receiving help on the federal level. president obama signed a disaster declaration monday. it authorizes the federal emergency management agency to coordinate help for the victims of this disaster. charlie and clarissa? >> danielle nottingham thanks. danielle just mentioned the new round of storms hampering the search for victims. megan glaros of our affiliate station wbbm what do you know? >> another round of rain coming onshore in the pacific northwest. we anticipate more. not just today, but through the course of the next several days as that rain and snow continues to move onshore, potentially ramping up the risk for landslides in that area. the good news is that the rain should be relatively light but will continue. temperatures in the west 65 degrees for los angeles today. 71 for san francisco.

we move on to the east coast, very different story. arctic air meeting a low pressure system will spell a lot of snow for parts of the northeast. strong and gusty wind potential. plenty of moisture to fuel the situation and then we've got an intensification offshore. what we see here is the storm system pushing off to the north and east dumping as much as one to three inches of snow from the midatlantic to new york city and then moving on off the coastline into the canadian maritimes. for parts of cape cod, we could see as much as a foot of snow there. in addition to that with the core of the low pressure system itself, there is the potential for hurricane force winds. though thankfully will stay well offshore. clarissa, charlie? >> megan, thanks. deadly shooting at the world's largest naivl base soldier was gunned down at the station in norfolk, virginia. security forces killed a suspect, a civilian man.

no word yet on a motive or if the civilian had permission to be on the ship. this week the obama administration plans to propose a sweeping overhaul of the nsa. cbs news confirms the white house wants the agency to stop collecting and holding on to millions of americans' phone records. instead the data would stay in the hands of phone companies for 18 months. the nsa would need a judge's permission to get specific records. the plan needs congressional approval. for now, the president is ordering a renewal of the current program for three more months. russia faces more threats this morning from the u.s. and its allies if it seizes more land from the ukraine. the group canceled a planned summit in sochi. major garret is traveling with president obama, who is meeting wer leaders on the sidelines of a nuclear summit at the hague. major, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. united states and europe are

united around tough rhetoric like conducting their own g-7 summit in brussels in june and blocking russian access. they will not take the much tougher step of imposing harsh sanctions on russia's arms finance and economic industries threatening to do so only if they invade more of ukraine or neighboring moldova. the status quo in crimea continues. the white house insists crimea is not lost but there is a sense to bring it back into ukraine will take weeks, possible months, if successful at all. the priority for g-7 nations is to contain the crisis where it is, prevent the loss of more ukrainian territory and the start of economic sanctions war that would surely harm russia but also take a toll on the global economy. charlie and clarissa? >> thank you, major. after an oil spill up to 170,000 gallons of heavy oil spilled three days ago in the houston shipping channel

following a collision with a barge. in galveston with the impact of the spill, manuel bojorquez. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. ships pass through the channel which is closed due to the cleanup. small fishing boats like this have also been told to stay off galveston bay. for the first time in three days ferry service to galveston resumed. a sign of progress. though the oil spill still made its presence known. >> you could smell. it was a tar smell. >> reporter: u.s. coast guard captain brian penoyer says cleaning up the spill is the first step in reopening the houston ship channel. >> we'll have to ensure that that transit does not impact the cleanup operations. our priority is making sure the public health is not endangered by exposure to the oil. >> reporter: that cleanup has been difficult. winds and surface currents have carried the oil offshore miles into the gulf of mexico. and onshore, black tar has

washed up on beaches. sea birds covered in heavy and sticky oil have been spotted along the coast. rich arnhart is with the state's response team. what makes it hard to clean up? >> it's a thicker oil, stays together and doesn't evaporate as fast as some of the lighter crude oils or fuel oils. >> reporter: there was fog in the area saturday when the barge carrying that oil and a libyan tanker collided. the marine fuel is now stuck on the hull of david prater's fishing boat. what's it like to see that? >> it's very devastating. yep. not good. that's just a small -- >> reporter: not sure when he will be able to fish in these waters again. >> i'm sure the ship captain didn't intend it to happen. the barge company didn't intend it to happen you know. who do you put blame on? you know who do you get angry at? >> reporter: exxon has cut production at one refinery due

to the shipping backlog. although reserves are set to be ample, there is concern that an extended closure of the channel could impact fuel prices. charlie and clarissa? >> manuel thank you. it is time to show you some of this morning's headlines. "the new york times" says five former employees of bernie madoff were convicted of helping with one of the largest ponzi schemes in history. a federal jury rejected the idea that madoff acted alone. they face up to 220 years in prison sentences. the washington post says the owner of the washington redskins will start a group to benefit native americans. dan snyder faces criticism over his refusal to change the name of the team. some consider it offensive. redskins original american foundation snyder made no mention of the name controversy. >> chicago tribune looks at the probe into monday's train derailment. commuter train swrumped the tracks and plowed into an

daredevils base charges after b.a.s.e. jumping off the tower in manhattan. this video could be key evidence. michelle miller is at the world trade center with more video you haven't seen yet. michelle, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. the idea behind b.a.s.e. jumping you fall off of a thick surface like a building and then you use a parachute to break your fall. well these three guys leapt off the roof of the freedom tower police just tracked them down. they're charged with burglary wrecks endangerment and jumping from a structure. 32-year-old andrew rossig dove head first off the world trade center shortly before 3:00 a.m. on september 30th. it was just moments after marco markovich and james brady

plunged off the 1,776 tall tower. the b.a.s.e. jumpers claim they abated one security guard and made their way to the top. >> it's pretty simple actually. we found a little hole in the fence between the wall and the fence and just pushed it open. walked right in. saw a worker walk by. got right into the building. went up to the top. didn't see one person the entire way up from the ground. all the way to the roof. >> reporter: the men went largely unnoticed but a few bystanders and surveillance footage caught moments after they landed alerted police and set off of month-long investigation. the rest of the evidence remained with the men from their helmet cams. the clips uncovered in a police search in february were the final piece to the puzzle that linked them to the stunt. their arrests come less than a week after a new jersey team crawled through a hole in the fence and managed to climb to

the top of the tower just as they did six months earlier. rossig argued their jump may help officials address serious flaws from build's security. >> they can took at it from a positive side and say, hey, they're new yorkers, they got in. >> reporter: but in a statement, new york police commissioner bill bratton isn't welcoming the advice saying these men violated the law and placed themselves and others in danger. adding being a thrill seeker does not gym immunity from the law. but the men who have 30 years of b.a.s.e. jumping experience among them insists no one was in any danger. >> at the time that we did it in the middle of the night, with the proper weather conditions it was a calculated risk. >> reporter: while bratton hopes these arrests will send a strong message to copycats. the native new yorkers have few regrets. >> we love b.a.s.e. jumping,

this is our city and we jumped it. >> reporter: the trio insists that this was not a publicity stunt. they said they released their video just to get ahead of their story. they promise any proceeds from the video will be donated to the families of 9/11 victims. clarissa, gayle, charlie, they're back in court in july. >> i'm with bill bratton on this. >> crazy, when they say there's no danger to anyone. except yourself. does your mother knowy you are? what are doing? >> it's very dangerous. and it sends a message to security. it seems like they need to do

rning because of bad weather in the region. officials released more information on the jet's last known investigation. as jeff pegues shows the search zone was shcoverage. >> reporter: the company is called inmarsat and while the plane did not have gps to help track its location it was transmitting a signal to a satellite during the flight. it forced the company to get creative as it pored over data. malaysia's minister of defense said this morning that satellite analysis of the 777 began before the aircraft had even taken off. >> during the early stage of the flight mh 370 transmitters sent. at this stage, it was possible to calculate system characteristics of aircraft. >> reporter: when the malaysia

air jet disappeared from radar after the transponder went dark inmarsat's satellite over the indian ocean continued to pick up pings from the 777 for several hours. it was that signal that led the company's engineers to determine two potential arcs one to the north and the other to the south. the arcs were the basis for the massive search efforts. company engineers compiled data never to find the missing jet sousing sound waves to find the plane's pings to determine location in relation to the satellite. >> in addition to the technique which is considered the velocity of the aircraft. >> reporter: the sold doppler effect makes an approaching vehicle sound different from one moving away. based on that process typically used in space research inmarsat concluded that flight 370 tracked along the southern arc towards one of the most remote areas in the world and likely crashed into the sea.

chris mccloughlin is inmarsat's senior vice president. >> we hope this will be the last to contribute to find the location of a commercial airliner off a single piece of data. >> reporter: inmarsat said its satellites could have monitored the location in realtime, something that might have sped up the process in searching for 370. but there's currently no mandated tracking. >> just thinking if the data had been there the moment it was lost and picked up by japanese radar, we would have known where it was. >> in addition to inmarsat there are other similar companies that offer tracking for planes. the price tag of those services vary some cost up to $100,000 for plane.

good morning. liza battalones with your "kcbs traffic." the bay bridge commute still very slow with those metering lights on. traffic backed up into the macarthur maze. the san mateo bridge also slow going for westbound 92. you can see the delays inching along that westbound direction staying heavy to midspan and new information now in fremont. the police department expects to have the intersection of fremont boulevard at decoto road closed until at least 12 noon today. here's lawrence. we have some rain headed in our direction now. in fact, a lot of clouds beginning to move into our skies. the rain will be picking up as we head throughout the day. still, you have the clouds rolling into the north bay now and look what our hi-def doppler is showing. we have some rain showing up there right now just north of santa rosa pushing onshore. you're going to see some pretty good downpours then rain on and off into the afternoon. temperatures cooler 50s and 60s. possibility of some thunderstorms tomorrow. showers into the weekend.

good morning to our viewers in the west. it's tuesday, march 25th, 2014. welcome back to "cbs this morning." a busy hour ahead including new protests from grieving flight 370 families. but first, here's a look at today's "eye opener at 8." >> these new announcements, they're not answering questions, they're raising questions and fueling frustration. weather conditions out at sea are frustrating the search crews as well as everyone else who wants to find the wreckage. >> the area is now receiving help on the federal level. president obama signed a disaster declaration monday. we're looking at another round of rain that's coming on shore in the pacific northwest. and we anticipate more. three daredevils face criminal charges this morning after base jumping off the new

world trade center tower. they insist this was not a publicity stunt. they said they released the video just to get ahead of the story. the prosecution now rests its case and the court is adjourned until friday. the nfl isn't just worried about head injuries among the pros. >> you've been to some of these camps. you see some of the questions you get from mothers saying should my kid play football? what do you say? >> well, that's a personal decision. betty white show for four years, i was on live. no script. just blithering on like some people do now. >> today's "eye opener at 8" is presented by prudential. i'm charlie rose with gayle king and clarisa ward. norah o'donnell is off. malaysia's government released new information this morning from the satellite tracking of flight 370.

that announcement shows the plane had to have crashed in the southern indian ocean with 239 people aboard. >> most of the passengers were chinese, and china's government is demanding to see the original satellite data. seth doane is in kuala lumpur. he says passengers' families are also unsatisfied. seth, good morning. >> reporter: good morning to you, gayle. yes, this is what malaysians woke up to this morning in "the new straits times," the local paper. "good night mh 370" after the prime minister made that announcement to the world last night, that new calculations of satellite data had allowed them to determine that the plane ended up in the southern indian ocean. however, what we found today talking with family members was that that hardly answered questions. in fact, it raised more questions. so we took that to authorities at the press briefing today. in essence, you're saying to family members please trust our math. a lot of family members do not

find any closure here yet. they want to see real proof. what do you say to family members who say we need more than calculations? >> until we can find the debris and then we can confirm that the debris is from mh370, it is very difficult for me to have a closure for the families. >> reporter: of course that is quite frustrating for families. and we saw that frustration really pour onto the streets, particularly in beijing today where family members of passengers protested. they walked more than two miles to the malaysian embassy. they chanted "down with malaysia." they also asked for real answers to be given to them. and we also found the same thing among family members here in malaysia. we spoke with the father of one passenger who said how are we supposed to just believe the government? we've been waiting for so many days for answers. they still do not have debris. how are we supposed to believe

this? so still a lot of frustration here on the ground. clarissa? charlie? gayle? officials in malaysia say the best evidence confirms the plane could not have landed anywhere. but there is still no confirmed sighting of any wreckage. the search was called off because of bad weather. with us from washington cbs news national transportation safety expert mark rosenger former chairman of the ntsb. mark, good morning. >> good morning, charlie, clarissa, gayle. >> how confident are you that this satellite data "a" is accurate, "b," is more likely to lead to finding the debris? >> i really believe this does help narrow the search charlie. what we've had were the tracking tapes that the malaysian air force provided and that was verified by the ntsb which really brought us down into that area. and when you combine that with the satellite photographs from the australians, the chinese and

the french and then topped off with this innovative series of calculations and models that the inmarsat people presented to the uk's version of the ntsb. i believe we've got a great opportunity to narrow this search with credible operations. >> why did it take so long? >> believe me this is extremely difficult mathematics. also, we're not dealing with the most transparent, the most if you will open and certainly most competent group of investigators from the malaysian side. i hate to say that but that's apparently what we're dealing with right here. and i believe they finally decided based on all of the problems they were having and the world scrutiny on them they needed to get this information finally out when they finally had the ability to validate it. >> do you think that the families should have been told since there is no physical evidence as you've seen are having such a hard time accepting this apparent reality?

>> this clearly was a very difficult question but i think the malaysian government felt the pressure. they didn't want to be holding on to information as they have been accused of before not releasing it and then of course have to explain why they had this information, why they didn't share it with the families ahead of time. >> mark i'm a complete ludite so forgive me if it sounds like a stupid question but 18 days. is there no way these black boxes can be equipped with a satellite or some chip or something that would make it easier to search for them if it happens again? it just seems like an awfully long time for these poor people and for the whole world to be waiting. >> you're absolutely right. unfortunately what we have here is a 21st century series of parameters which are built into these black boxes, but we are dealing in 20th century operations which means we have to find the black boxes before

we can begin the investigation in earnest. i think this is an investigation and an accident which may end up changing the way we investigate long-haul aircraft accidents. >> all right. mark rosenker thank you. there is a dramatic jump this morning in the number of people reported missing in oso, washington. that town north of seattle was nearly wiped out by saturday's deadly mudslide. the local fire chief says quote, the situation is very grim. danielle nottingham is at the rescue command post in arlington that's just outside of oso. >> reporter: good morning and good morning to our viewers here in the west. the death toll from the mudslide has risen to 14 and is likely to climb after authorities have received reports of 176 people who are still unaccounted for. rescue teams are searching the mud by any means necessary. they are moving slowly on foot and have deployed helicopters and hovercraft while rescuers continue to call this a search and rescue, they are not optimistic about the result. >> i believe it's also fair to

at this point say that most of us in these communities believe that we will not find any individuals alive. >> reporter: amidst all the destruction, one family searching through their ruined home found buddy, their chocolate labrador, unharmed. >> oh, my god. >> reporter: president obama signed a disaster declaration yesterday which means fema will be on the way to give families much needed assistance. charlie? clarisa? gayle? >> danielle, thank you. the search for those missing people is about to become harder. more rain is moving into the pacific northwest. meteorologist megan glarros of wbbm is with us in studio 57. megan, good morning. >> good morning to you, charlie, clarissa and gayle and those of you in the west where yet another pacific storm system is coming on shore. that does spell out the potential for rain. really anywhere from san francisco, even parts of southern california all the way up the coastline. it is expected to be relatively

light but could be a factor in further landslide issues in the pacific northwest. temperatures in the west 65 degrees, los angeles today. 43 for denver. but arctic air is spilling down from north to south. so we're talking about some colder air settling in east of the rockies as we go through the next 24 to 48 hours. watching a low-pressure system that's going to create quite the issue in terms of very intense snows for cape cod, for parts of long island and downeast maine. strong and gusty winds associated with this. obviously plenty of moisture. the storm intensifying offshore probably jumping one to three inches of snowfall in new york and washington. and those amounts getting even higher when you get off the cape. gayle? clarissa? charlie? >> thanks. most americans want this country to stay out of the ukraine crisis. a new cbs news poll out this morning finds 32% think the u.s. has an obligation to intervene over russia's annexation of crimea. nearly twice as many, 61%, say the u.s. has no responsibility

to act. an even smaller number support american military help. 26% say the pentagon should provide equipment and other aide to ukraine. 65% say no. the supreme court hears arguments this morning in one of the most closely watched cases of the year. it pits the rights of a woman's access to contraception against a company's religious freedom. jan crawford is at the high court to look at the latest challenge to the affordable care act. jan, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. arguments started at 7:00 pacific over the new law which requires companies to offer insurance that includes free birth control. religious employers across the country started filing lawsuits saying that violates our religious beliefs. the court agreed to decide this issue in a case involving hobby lobby, a nationwide craft supply store founded by david and barbara green 42 years ago. >> it's our rights that are being infringed upon to require us to do something that's against our conscience. >> reporter: hobby lobby

provides coverage for birth control pills, but as david greene explains in this company video, the health care law forces them to also cover other contraceptives such as the morning-after millpill and the iud. lori wyndham is a lawyer for the greens. >> that they would be tantamount to an abortion. >> reporter: the women's rights groups and doctors say the cases about women's health. jean connery is president of the american college of obstetricians and gynecologists. >> as a physician, i need a number of ways to treat women and treat them appropriately. and i don't need an employer coming into my exam room and telling me how to treat a patient. >> reporter: now if you had any doubt about the level of interest in this case there were people waiting in line this morning that stretched around the block to get inside. a decision in this case is expected in june. charlie? gayle?

♪ in our "morning rounds" video games and your kids 97% of teenagers and preteens say they play them. about a third admit at least one of their favorites is rated mature or adults only. often because of the violent content. a new study finds the link between violent games and aggressive behavior among children. dr. harold koppellewicz is a child psychologist. what makes this study different and so important to you? >> i think it's a very good study in respect it's a large

sample, over 3,000 kids were interviewed for the study. over two years, and they were interviewed three times. about how often they play games, what kind of games they're playing and what kind of effect it has on them. it has one limitation that we should note is that they only are relying on self-report. that means the kids are giving us the information. we're not getting information from teachers or parents. but the kids are telling us the longer they play and the more they play aggressive games they start thinking in an aggressive way and have aggressive attitudes. that's not necessarily a link to violence. but that does tell us that the exposure particularly for young kids does have a negative effect in the way they think. >> any difference in boys and girls? >> surprisingly not. that's the nice part about this sample. it's boys and girls ranging from 8 years to 17 years of age. girls are just as sensitive to this as boys are. >> but what's the difference between watching violent movies.

we have so much violence on television now. how is that any different than playing violent video games? >> i think it's a big difference. it's almost like a virtual reality experience. it's very different than when my kids were playing games. my kids are 25 to 30. if you remember pacman bing bing, you get so bored so quickly. but today, it's a very endangering interactive experience. and that's what we have to be concerned about because you're exposing kids to potentially very inappropriate material and also very aggressive material. i can tell you recently someone asked me to what for their 13-year-old son what they should get. they said oh buy this individual of grand theft auto. i went online. and now i'm going to give them a videotape. which really speaks about the fact that parents have to be more involved. they have to monitor, they have to understand how much time they're doing it. if they don't know what the

individual so is, they should go to the store and ask at the store to show it to them. >> entertainment industry gauge us the response that simply no evidence that video games cause harm. scores of independent medical authorities and scientific experts have found repeatedly there's no connection between video games and real life violence. >> and that's the key. we're not talking violence. we're talking aggressive thinking and attitudes. >> we have to wrap it up. i'm so sorry, dr. harold koplewicz. >> ahead, the artist selling his work every 30 seconds for decades. >> making pictures. very special pictures with eric carle, creator of the very hungry caterpillar which turns 35. coming up later. >> announcer: cbs morning rounds
