"60 minutes" reveals how wall street is rigged so superfast traders can never lose. it is perfectly legal. new york's attorney general is here with how he hopes to change that. north and south korea trade fire overnight. tensions escalate as the united states joins the south in a strong show of force. plus hall of fame quarterback jim kelly faces the battle of his life. his message to us this morning. but we begin this morning with a look at today's "eye-opener," your world in 90 seconds. >> breaking news north and south korea have exchanged fire across their maritime border. >> the crisis escalates on the korean peninsula.
7:01 am
>> tensions in the area were already raised. >> it happened as the united states and south korea took part in a joint military sea exercise. >> it's deadline day for americans looking to sign up for insurance coverage under president obama's health care law. >> in albuquerque, a march over the fatal police shooting of a homeless man turned violent. >> protesters threw blockrocks, blocked traffic. >> the search for flight 370 is ramping up. >> the clock is ticking down on the remaining battery life as the plane's black boxes -- >> harrison! >> oh, made it! and kentucky takes the final spot at the final four! >> the emotion, the elation goes to the huskies of the university of connecticut! >> i take my bracket, and rip it up, and i'm done finished. >> washington state search teams continued sifting through the muddy debris. search dogs are being given a two-day break. >> an incredible rescue on a
7:02 am
soccer field. a player from the opposite team flipped him on his back and cleared his airway. >> oh, that? >> ripped foul. she caught that! >> that is indeed a -- >> holy cow. >> disney's "frozen" became the highest grossing animated movie in history over the weekend. >> of course. >> and all that matters. >> what's the headline here? >> storm's rigged by a combination of the stock exchanges, the big wall street banks, and high-frequency traders. >> who are the victims? >> everybody who has an investment in the stock market. >> on "cbs this morning." >> this is the ultimate of the final four. >> i don't know if i'm dreaming, but you have to slap me to make sure i'm dreaming. there we go. i'm not dreaming! i'm not dreaming! >> this morning's "eye-opener" is presented by toyota. let's go places. welcome to "cbs this morning," and good morning norah. >> good morning to you charlie.
7:03 am
missed you. >> missed you. welcome back. five strokes off your golf game? >> a few, yes. we begin with a bombshell report that could change the way wall street does business. "60 minutes" revealed last night how a few stock market insiders are making billions in high-frequency trading. it is based on information that reaches them a fraction of a second ahead of everyone else. >> and that's just long enough to cash in while raising costs for ordinary investors. steve kroft talked with author michael lewis about his new book out this morning called "flash boys." lewis says the stock market is rigged. >> if it wasn't complicated, it wouldn't be allowed to happen. the complexity disguises what is happening. if it's so complicated you can't understand it then you can't question it. >> this is all being done by computers. >> all being done by computers. it's too fast to be done by humans. humans have been removed. >> past is the operative word. machines with secret programs are now trading stocks in tiny fractions of a second, way too fast to be seen or recorded on a
7:04 am
stock ticker or computer screen. faster than the market itself. high-frequency traders, big wall street firms and stock exchanges have spent billions to gain an advantage of a millisecond for themselves and their customers, just to get a peek at stock market prices and orders aflash before everyone else, along with the opportunity to act on it. >> the insiders are able to move faster than you. they're able to see your order. and play it against other orders in ways you don't understand. they're able to front-run your order. >> what do you mean front-run? >> they're able to identify your desire to buy shares in microsoft and buy them in front of you, and sell them back to you at a higher price. it all happens in infinitesimally small periods of time. the speed traders have is milliseconds. some of it's fractions of milliseconds. it's enough for them to identify
7:05 am
what you're going to do and do it before you do it at your expense. >> so it drives the price up? >> it drives the price up and, in turn, you pay a higher price. >> reporter: michael lewis is not the first person to allege the stock market is rigged or that high-frequency traders are front-running the market. he was the first to find brad katsuyama the first to figure out how it was being done. >> a very unlikely character. a trader at the royal bank of canada, a young man named brian katayama realized the market he thought he knew had changed. the market seemed willing to sell stock. the minute he went to buy it someone else buy it. the stock went up. it was as someone knew what he was doing before he did it. >> eric schneiderman is with us investigating the high-frequency trading. welcome. >> thank you. >> so high-frequency traders, as shown by michael lewis and steve kroft, is it illegal? >> it's been around for a while, not illegal.
7:06 am
what michael is talking about are high-frequency traders who use their speed to take advantage of cracks in the foundations of our market. as i think he explained in the "60 minutes" piece, we now have 60 public and private markets that are linked up, and there are cracks. there are places you can get to faster than other people and front-run the market. what's improper is front-running the market, using any special advantage or edge with your speed to have an unfair advantage over anyone else. there's an assumption in the marks that everyone's allowed to do research but they're fundamentally -- >> is what they laid out last night illegal? >> some of it i believe, may be illegal. our office's had an investigation for over a year in some practices related to high-frequency trading. there was a situation we dealt with last year where we found that thomson reuters, which releases surveys of consumer confidence, was giving a two-second edge to an elite group of subscribers, and in that two seconds, the high-frequency traders were able to move the market in their credit. they stopped doing that.
7:07 am
there are situations where there may be illegal conduct, and we're looking at it under new york securities laws. >> but the average investor hears this report and hears the stock market is rigged and you say you're not sure whether it's illegal or not. what are you going to do? >> well, two things. one is we're shining a lot on this whole problem. that's why we started talking about it over a year ago. i think mr. lewis' book will help us shine a light on this problem. there's two things we have to do. one is, we have to investigate in the commodities future trading corporation, the s.e.c. has to investigate whether there is currently anything illegal. the second is this clearly requires new laws and reforms to catch up with the changes in technology. >> who's doing this? who are the bad guys? >> high-frequency traders are firms all around the world. they're massive investments. and there is an incredible race for speed now. people are paying hundreds of millions of dollars to shave milliseconds off. it's used by all different kinds of firms, including some perfectly legitimate firms. but the high-frequency traders are the amazing combination of
7:08 am
scientists and analysts that are just shaving speed every day. >> which brings up the interesting point. the young man last night who found this out has created an exchange that by delaying -- by delaying the high-frequency trader, says he evens the playing field. >> correct. and it's what they call speed bumps. if you put a speed bump in, it slows it down. there are different ways to build speed bumps. i've proposed a different kind than what iex is using, but it's clear to me we need it for two reasons -- we can prevent unfair advantage, and destabilize it that it has, because it encourages people to engage in the more risky behavior. >> fractions of a second. >> incomprehensible. really milliseconds are something that you can't even get your mind around. but, boy, can they move markets with the automated robot computers that are triggered to shoot out offers and trades as soon as one factor changes. >> incredible reporting. we'll wait to see if there are changes. thank you so much. we're following a dramatic
7:09 am
escalation of tensions on the korean peninsula this morning. south korean officials say the north fired artillery shells across a disputed sea boundary. troops from the south fired back. the white house is calling north korea's actions, quote, dangerous and provocative. seth doane is in beijing where china is asking both sides to calm down. seth, good morning. >> reporter: good morning to you. yes, nowrth korea fired about 100 artillery shells crossing the border into south korea. south korea responded by firing 300 artillery shells toward the north. it's not clear how many of the shells landed on the other side of that maritime border. all of the taking place in the yellow city. the issue is the shells are landing quite close to inhabited islands there, forcing some south koreans to flee to emergency evacuation shelters. this is all taking place against
7:10 am
the backdrop of regularly scheduled joint military exercises taking place between south korean and u.s. troops. i spoke with a cbs news producer in seoul today who told me that this is really making headlines there and causing some concern, not only because of the sheer number of shelling -- shells that we're talking about here, but also because it's reminiscent of an incident back in 2010 that was quite similar, where you had north korean shelling that killed four south koreans. that was the first time south koreans had been killed in that way since 1953 the de facto that ended the korean war. the real concern here is that this is not only going to inflame emotions but any casualties could really prompt some sort of significant military response. charlie? >> seth, thanks. australia says this morning's search for missing malaysian airlines jet is bigger and more intense. crews in the air and on the water are scouring a zone more than 1,000 miles off the coast. holly williams has been on the water this morning, where an
7:11 am
australian ship is now equipped with technology to find the plane's black box. >> reporter: good morning. that is the ocean shield an australian naval ship you can see behind me and it's carrying a piece of high-tech american equipment that could make a big difference in the search for malaysia airlines flight 370. it's scheduled to leave port today for the search area. 1,100 miles off australia's west coast. on board the "ocean shield" is a towed pinger locator that can detect black boxes or flight recorders in waters up to 20,000 deep. it was shipped in by the u.s. navy along with a support team of 11. if the black boxes can be found, they could finally explain what went wrong on flight 370. but time's running out, because the beacons on the flight recorders may only have eight days of battery life left and the pinger locator can only be
7:12 am
used after at least some debris from the missing plane has been recovered and the search field has been narrowed. but three weeks after the jetliner's mysterious disappearance, that still hasn't happened. >> it all depoends upon how effective we are at reducing that search area. right now, the search area's basically the size of the indian ocean, which would take an untenable amount of time to search. >> reporter: finding the wreckage has proved more difficult than first thought. we flew with the crew of an australian p-3 orion in perfect conditions. four hours into the flight they spotted something that looked like it might be wreckage. >> white and light blue just below the surface. we'll drop to get better eyes. >> reporter: the pilot banked hard to turn around and take a second look, but it turned out to be yet another disappointment, a fishing buoy attached to a rope. the "ocean shield" and its cargo
7:13 am
won't reach the search area until thursday but the hope is by then some wreckage will have been found and they'll be able to begin the hunt for the plane's black boxes. >> all right holly, thank you. and tonight is the official deadline to sign up for health insurance under the affordable care act. the obama administration says it has met the revised goal of 6 million signups. bill plant is at the white house where officials are giving people a little more time to finish. bill, good morning. >> reporter: morning. the administration is happy to point out that thousands rushed to sign up before tonight's deadline. a big surge in california for instance, which has created some delays. but believe it or not, the national system was actually taken down for maintenance this morning. nonetheless, the deadline's been extended for those who start the process but can't finish it by tonight. from california's bay area to this miami mall people packed health care signup centers, waiting for hours. >> if you have a ticket -- >> reporter: in silver spring
7:14 am
maryland organizers had to call in reinforcements. >> we given out about 100 numbers, and the building doesn't open for another hour. >> reporter: baltimore's andrew morton said he tried going online but the website kept kicking him off. >> i cannot make a judgment until i actually get something and see the different plans that they have. >> reporter: americans are still making up their minds about the affordable care act. according to a poll by the kaiser family foundation only 38% have a positive opinion of the law. the poll also found that 6 out of 10 uninsured americans didn't know about the march 31st deadline. and 50% said that they planned to stay uninsured. cbs news' scott pelley asked the president about it during an interview last week. >> we admittedly had just a terrible start because the website wasn't working, and despite losing effectively two months we are going to be reasonably close to that original projection.
7:15 am
and what it tells you is that people actually are looking for affordable health care. >> reporter: but republicans like speaker john boehner said the extension is just proof that the law is broken. >> what the hell is this, a joke? listen, this is part of a long-term pattern of this administration manipulating the laws for its own convenience. >> reporter: the extension for signing up is pretty much on the honor system. if you check a box on healthcare.gov saying that you tried to sign up but were unable to do so because of technical issues, then you get the extension. the administration does say, though, that they will be checking to verify that people who do that really did try to log on. >> bill, thanks. searchers in washington are still looking for survivors of a deadly mudslide. but after nine days even the biggest optimists say a miracle could bring good news. john blackstone is outside of oso where it's at least stopped raining. john, good morning. >> reporter: good morning.
7:16 am
the rain has stopped here but orning as t it' chilly this morning. the number of known fatalities rose yesterday. the medical examiner now confirms 21 dead add to that four more bodies found by searchers in the debris yesterday. the list of the missing remains at 30. the work here is painful and painstaking. at the impact zone the vast scale of the landslide seems to dwarf the hundreds of workers carefully digging through the debris. it's a daunting task often undertaken only with hand tools. crews work in mud and water that can be waist deep. the slide brought a forest of trees along with it. it knocked everything down, then mixed everything up. >> when the mountain let go it didn't just slide, it kind of blew out at the bottom and then it slid down in the back. it kind of sloshed up and then sloshed back down. we have areas where they're estimated that the slide is almost 70 to 80 feet deep.
7:17 am
>> reporter: and much of what is under the mud is dangerous. >> we've got sewer. we've got all the products, again, from your home. gasoline from the vehicles, oil. >> reporter: just after the slide hit, isaac hall was one of the first on the scene. he saw a small boy in the mud. with that little boy, you thinking of your own son? >> oh, yeah. >> reporter: the boy was 4-year-old jacob spillers. >> you handing the little boy up to the helicopter. >> the pilot, yeah. >> reporter: what was the boy experiencing? what was he like? >> oh, he was freaked out. he was freaked out, in tears, freezing cold. >> reporter: as searchers look for more bodies funeral services are being planned for those already found. this woman, whose car was buried by the slide, was found last week. >> i'm relieved that they found her. i'm relieved that they got her out of the mud. i'm relieved that we'll be able to have a memorial for her.
7:18 am
>> reporter: but the pain is going to be there. >> forever. >> reporter: the search here is heartbreaking, and for the searchers, it's back-breaking. crews are now being rotated out to allow fresh workers to come in. even the dogs are getting time off. >> all right, john, thank you so much. and a united nations report out this morning paints a bleak picture for the environment. u.n. scientists warn climate change is already having a sweeping effect on all continents and oceans. if greenhouse gases are not controlled, the report warns of more coastal flooding. inland flooding could damage big cities drought could cause widespread hunger and other weather extremes could affect everything from electricity to running water. time to show you some of the morning's headlines. the "washington post" looks at an upcoming senate intelligence committee report on torture. congressional aides say the study will conclude that torture did not provide key evidence in the hunt for osama bin laden. the cia insists that so-called

7:31 am
professor michio kaku is in our green room and he'll let you know what comes next. >> he looks worried. elaine quijano takes us inside the brand-new factory that makes snickers and about the problem to the time of the recall. regulators say gm had time to correct the issue and did not. a document shows gm determined that an ignition switch was not up to specification in 2002. the company went ahead anyway. they redesigned the switch in 2006, but never changed the part number, adding to the confusion.
7:32 am
the documents also say the national highway safety administration in charge of policing auto safety noticed a trend in complaints in 2007 but never investigated further. it is not clear why. nhtsa looked again in 2010. congressman tim murphy is chairman of the sub house committee on energy and commerce. >> i don't think that gm and nhtsa were talking to each other adequately and it may be the different departments were talking to each other. we need to find out why. >> reporter: the recalls at gm over a faulty switch in compact cars now inclines 2.6 million vehicle. the problem? it could disable the power steering and the air bags. >> why didn't they find out that the air bags didn't work too? i think if they had done that
7:33 am
sooner you wonder if they would have made a recall sooner. >> reporter: as families prepare to watch testimony on capitol hill tuesday many are still trying to figure out why it's taken this long. five years ago 25-year-old sadie died. her car's safety equipment failed to deploy. her family thinks the faulty switch is to blame. >> when you hit a tree dead on, you expect the seat belt and air bag to function properly. >> both david friedmann the acting head of nhtsa and mary barra, the ceo of gm will testify on tuesday. the senate takes up the matter on wednesday. gayle? >> jeff glor thank you. los angeles is feeling the effects of an aftershock. all the shaking is making people nervous. it could be assigned that a big one is coming. >> the first quake hit just after 9:00 p.m. on friday night. a 5.1 magnitude shaker that knocked items off store shelves,

7:35 am
period of seismic activity for more than a decade. jones says that now may soon be ending. >> for the downtown area, this is the first. >> reporter: that earthquake was nearly six years ago. for "cbs this morning," ben tracy, los angeles. professor michio kaku is a physics professor with the university of new york. good morning. >> good morning. >> so is there any indication that a bigger quake may be cominging in that region? >> well if you're a california dream, this is wakeup call if you want to move to california. a triple whammy. three earthquakes in just one week. what's most dangerous is it was along a new earthquake fault we didn't know existed until 15 years ago. the puente hills fault which runs underneath from los angeles down to hollywood. an earthquake there -- we don't know when it's going to take
7:36 am
place -- could cost $250 billion in property damage. that's a quarter of a trillion dollars according to the u.s. government. this is a cause for concern, though with cannot predict yet when the big one is going to happen. >> when we talk to people in california, they say, we know we know, we're not worried. to follow up on charlie's question, how worried should they be and what do you tell your students? >> i grew up in california so i'm used to having small tremors and i grew up in the big one. i tell students in their class, in their lifetime they may see the big one. there's a 46% chance that within the next 30 years there will be a 7.5 magnitude earthquake or bigger. the big one, 46% chance in 30 years. >> and how effective and accurate are the detection capability to know when the next big one is coming. >> it's a cross between black magic and voodoo. >> that good. >> however, we can get an early
7:37 am
warning system that can give you 40, 50 seconds of warning. japan has one, for example. the people of california have to decide whether or not to get that warning. >> what would that do? >> if we were to have 40 or 50 seconds right now, we could run out the door. trains could stop. conductors could stop. surgeons could stop an operation. >> elevators could stop you would get off the elevator. >> you would save some lives but you're not going to same some lives. but you're not going to save everybody. that's the best we can do right now. >> there's a warning from the panel on climate risk. the worst is yet to come. >> this has to be taken seriously because in 2007 they simply said it's coming it's coming. this report says it's here. take a look at the thinning of the ice caps, the rising of sea level, the acidification of the ocean, the bleaching of the coral reefs, hurricane sandy. we're looking at bizarre weather
7:38 am
patterns. you can't say any one particular thing is a smoking gun but collectively 100-year storms 100-year floods 100-year droughts 100-year for it fires, something very dangerously is happening with the weather. >> and to those climate change deniers? >> they realize something is happening with the weather. they admit that. however, they disagree about human activity. they say perhaps it's part of a natural cycle. but no one disagrees that the polar ice is spinning and sea levels are rising. you can measure these things. the earth is heating up. meanwhile the nations of the earth, 100 nations signed on to this report. >> all right. professor michio kaku thank you so much. good to see you. and it's a big thumbs-up for american manufacturing. good news. brand-new $270 million factory built in kansas. it opened on thursday. yummy. we're going go inside this sweet

the country they're signing up. we don't have any of that information yet. >> when will we have it? >> mid april. we'll start to get numbers about who signed up. they'll be unspecific. we need to know the geological location and sick versus healthy. to look from there is insurance companies in the spring and summer as they put out their new rates for premiums. are those prices going to go up more than they would have about this program? that will give us some indication of who is signing up. >> what about the political impact? it seems even the democrats who are running for re-election are worried that this may hurt their chances of holding on to the senate. >> 7 million target is reached, that is helpful but it's not great for democrats because the political problem here is worried that this program, even if it meets this target is out of control, that it will cause

8:39 am
hit? >> i don't know. >> i just knew i loved the script and then at each sort of stage it just got better. >> how hard can it be to name a baby. >> right? just look at her. she's clearly amanda. >> emily. >> despite the title "how i met your mother" is clearly a show about friendship. >> uh-oh. >> and for this cast playing friends led to becoming friends. >> hi. >> hi. >> i think it's kind of weirdly chemical and innate. i always felt when i was doing other projects where i was supposed to fall in love with a juliet or something that i was markedly -- i was looking at the good traits and not seeing her bad traits because i was supposed to be falling in love with her. so we're all friends and we're written toward being friends and laughing at each other's jokes so we in turn gravitate toward that just by design right? they all stare at my

8:41 am
knows how long. >> josh you teared up when you read the final episode. >> well just to clarify, it wasn't -- i wasn't heave crying at the gym. i got a little misty as i think everyone did. i think it's impossible to read an episode like that with not just the nine years of doing the show but doing it together. it's so masterfully written. you know it's an emotional read. >> do you worry that the final episode won't live up to expectations? >> no. >> really. it's that good. >> we think so. everybody has different opinions and everybody wants to see these characters end up in different ways but i'm very happy. >> everyone was a little concerned in our mid seasons as to what the endgame was, but once we were confident that they knew what they were doing and once we were actually told a few weeks before what the actual endgame was, it justified the means. it justified all of the long -- the long play of our show.
