7:03 am
is presented by toyota. let's go places. welcome to "cbs this morning." i'm charlie rose with gayle king in new york. norah o'donnell is in boston where the city is showing its strength on this marathon monday. >> hey, good morning to you, charlie and gayle. and good morning to our viewers in the west. it is great to be here in boston. it's true boston is stronger than ever. over the past year the phrase "boston strong" has become known around the world and this city has done everything it can to live up to that motto. i'm here in boston common a great park. we're actually a few blocks behind me down boylston street is the spot where last year's race suddenly ended after two bombs exploded killing three and injuring more than 260. despite last year's tragedy, the 118th boston marathon is one of
7:04 am
the largest in city history. the elite runners are already on the course. so are many of the other 36,000 competitors. 9,000 more than last year. and organizers expect twice the normal crowd with more than 1 million people packed along the route. the 26.2 mile course stretches through seven towns before finishing near the site of last year's explosions in the heart of boston. our mark straussman is in hopkinton, massachusetts where the race is getting under way after a moment of silence to remember last year's victims. but first we want to take a look at the unprecedented security operation for this morning's race. it involves 65 different agency. jeff glor talked with the people in charge of that effort. it's pretty impressive security. >> it is impressive. you don't have to spend much time in boston to realize what this day means to the city.
7:05 am
it is patriots day, the third monday in april. and this marathon, this year is unlike any other. from the air and on the ground more than 4,000 members of law enforcement will be watching. with help from bomb sniffing dogs and a network of street security cameras. >> that's the finish line right there. >> bell evans is boston's police commissioner. >> this is not just one stadium and one place. this is a 26.2 mile route. how much more difficult does that make it for you? >> it's very difficult. this is a soft target. there's eight cities and towns here that are involved. if it's a stadium, you can warn people going into stadiums you can check bags. 26.2 miles is a lot of yardage to cover and security but i think we have a great plan to do it. >> reporter: spectators are told not to bring back packs, bulky clothes like vests with big pockets, bottles larger than one liter and large flags or signs. if a bag is needed police say make it plastic and see through.
7:06 am
>> this is the largest public safety plan and public safety operation that we've ever done. >> kurt schwartz, the undersecretary for security, will be in this command headquarters. >> last year we had 75 people. this year we have over 250 people. we'll have dozens and dozens more surveillance cameras. >> that's the one from last year? >> reporter: bill evans, who took over as commissioner in january, has completed 18 marathons himself. >> you have to strike the right balance. you don't want it to feel like a police state? >> exactly. that's the instructions i've given to our officers in new york city. we're going to have a good undercover asset and uniformed officers in the city.
7:07 am
i don't want to scare people. i want it to be the race it's always been. >> as he said he's done 18 marathons. he did wake up at 4:45 this morning and go for that run, though. >> he is very, very impressive. it's not just the marathon they're worried about, too? >> absolutely. the red sox also play an early game. they start at 11:00 eastern. at about 2:00 in the afternoon, you have 40,000 fans pouring out into kenmore square, some making their way over here so another security situation for police to watch at that point. >> thank you. the boston marathon always begins about 26 miles west of here in the town of hopkinton, massachusetts. mark strassmann is at the starting line. >> reporter: good morning to our viewers in the west. 36,000 runlers make this way through the chute, the fencing behind me and begin their 26 mile marathon run all the way into downtown boston.
7:08 am
this is the first race since a year ago and the tragedy that unfolded. there was a moment of silence before any of the runners left this morning to remember the three killed the 260 injured and the city that still feels the scars a year later. there will be as many as a million spectators lining the course that run from hopkinton into boston. they go through the suburbs of framingham natick. wellesley college is about the mid point, 13th mile mark. then to newton heart break hill and then to boylston street in downtown boston. some of the wheelchairs go first, then elite men and elite women and then the bulk of the people will leave in four large waves. it will take a couple hours to get them all moving. there is increased police presence. you see it here in hopkinton and
7:09 am
downtown, cops walking around all over the place, lots of bomb sniffing dogs. the goal is to make sure this is nothing but a race that everybody enjoys. >> mark, thank you. we should note that last night at fenway park the red sox honored victims and survivors with a pregame ceremony. dozens of marathon runners and first responders were also there. they got to watch a great game because the red sox came back from a five-run deficit, beating the orioles 6-5. and we're going to have much more from boston in our next half hour including one family that's making its way back after a terrible year. but right now let's go back to gayle and charlie in new york. >> all right, norah, thank you. we'll see you a little bit later on. there are new questions this morning about airport security after a california teen-ager stowed away on a play to hawaii undetected. he snuck aboard the jet's wheel well and as dan notiel notingham
7:10 am
reports, he was very lucky to is survived survived. >> reporter: hawaiian airlines flight 45 departed san jose california for the five-hour trip to maui. it wasn't until an hour after the plane landed that a witness saw the boy stumble from the wheel well. >> he looked pretty good young juvenile. he didn't appear to be dirty or all greased up from being in the wheel well. >> reporter: the fbi says the teen hopped the fence at the san jose airport before sliding into the rear left wheel well of the jet not knowing its final destination. the boy was unconscious during the trip but despite below zero temperatures at 38,000 feet and a lack of oxygen he escaped unharmed. >> usually they would not survive for hours on end up
7:11 am
there. so it just boggles the mind. >> reporter: in a statement, hawaiian airlines said our primary concern now is the well being of the boy, who is exceptionally lucky to have survived. >> the death toll from the south korean ferry disaster is expected to rise dramatically today. divers are reaching deeper into the submerged vessel. 86 people are confirmed dead 220 remain missing after wednesday's capsizing and this morning there are new developments in the criminal probe. seth doane is in jindo, south korea, where he spoke with a crew member. >> reporter: good morning. four more crew members have been detained today, two first mates, a second mate and the chief engineer of the ferry, all face allegations they failed to protect passengers and abandoned the ship. fury over the botched evacuation of the sewol ferry is boiling
7:12 am
over. at a cabinet meeting today, south korea's president park geun-hye called their actions unbelievable. more than half an hour passed before the captain issued an evacuation order. a newly released transcript of the ship-to-shore radio communications reveals confusion as the ferry was sinking. the sewol issued a distress signals an 9:07 a.m. ten minutes later at 9:17 a.m. controllers asked the status of the sinking ship. the reply "it's tilted more than 50 degrees to the left and it's impossible for people to move either left or right. crew members are asked to wear life jackets and stand by but it's impossible to check if they're wearing them or not.
7:13 am
the crew members are gathered on the bridge and cannot move. please come quickly." when the ferry got into trouble, authorities say the captain had left an inexperienced 25-year-old third mate steering the ship in current-filled waters. this video, which has not been verified, appears to show the captain getting medical attention on shore. he was one of the first to escape. on sunday we found another crew member, oh young seok recovering in his hospital bed. how is it for you to know what happened? he replied "i feel tremendous guilt." he told me the day the ferry sank is like a night member. family members have been asked to give dna samples to help identify the dead.
7:14 am
>> russian's -- a shoot-out in ukraine killed three people. both sides are hoping to salvage the truth. holly williams is in donetsk, ukraine. >> reporter: vice president joe biden is visiting ukraine for talks at resolving the crisis here in ukraine, where pro-separatist russians occupy building in ten cities. another deadly clash. pro russian separatists say three were killed in the early hours of sunday morning when this check point came under fire from a far right wing ultra nationalist group. but the story is murky. this accept raseparatist said they
7:15 am
were hit by stun granenades and targeted by a sniper. the right-wing group denyies it was involved and accuses russian special forces of staging the shooting. there was clearly some kind of violent attack here but it's impossible to say for sure who carried it out. there's confusion in eastern ukraine. that only makes the situation more dangerous. in the center of slavyanask are now in charge of the streets. the mayor says he wants russian troops to help defend it. that plays into the fierceears of ukraine's leaders. they say there are already russian operatives at work here and they worry that eastern ukraine could see a rerun of
7:16 am
what happened in crimea just a few weeks ago when russia sent thousands of soldiers to annex the region for itself. for "cbs this morning," holly williams, donetsk, ukraine. >> there are reports this morning that more than a dozen suspected al qaeda militants are dead. air strikes that targeted yemen this weekend continue this morning. so far the united states isn't commenting. cbs news security contributor mike morel is in washington. mike good morning. >> reporter: good morning, charlie. good morning, gayle. >> good morning. >> tell me what your assessment is of these strikes. >> charlie, when you see a series of strikes like this against a large number of people, what that tells me is that the united states has very specific intelligence that the guys that are being targeted on the ground pose a very specific threat against the united states, either against u.s. u.s. diplomatic facilities in the region or even the united states.
7:17 am
so i think that's what we're looking at here a very dangerous situation. >> there's some reports that the famous al qaeda bomb maker may have been killed. >> i've heard those rumors too. we don't know for sure. if that is the case that, would be a great victory for us. he is both very evil charlie, and very talented. evil in the sense that he put a bomb into the rectum of his own brother and sent him on a suicide mission to try to kill a senior saudi official. he brother was killed. he's also very talented. he is the father of the underwear bomb he is the father of the printer cartridge bomb he is the father of the nonmetallic bomb. he is the father of putting a bomb inside of a human person, surgically implanted.
7:18 am
i consider him the most dangerous terrorist on the planet. if he is gone that would be a very good thing. >> other than him, who is another target? >> nasir wahisi. if something were to happen to zouheri, this guy would be taking over the organization. he need to be taken off the battlefield. >> "the washington post" reports on president obama's week-long trip to asia beginning tomorrow. the president will visit ma malaysia, the philippines and korea. >> pope france has used his easter blessing to call for world peace. the pope spoke to about 150,000

8:15 am
should get this silver lining at the end and have a less intense allergy season. that's probably not going to happen. what usually happens is spring brings our tree pollen summer brings our grass pollen and then in the fall we see rag weed. because our spring was so delayed this year many things are blooming all at once. what should have bloomed over the course of a month is now popping up altogether so we're seeing really really high pollen levels. >> are you seeing it in your practice? what are you noticing? >> over the last week it's so interesting, we went from a really bad cold and flu season everyone coming in sniffling and sneezing, now it's a really bad allergy season. >> how is it that co2 affects your allergies? >> carbon dioxide has been going up, it comes from burning fossil fuels, like gas in our car. while it's not good for humans ironically it can supercharge some plants to grow. the more car do know dioxide makes them grow faster robustly
8:16 am
and release more pollen. ragweed is one of those plants. that's one of the ways we're seeing the climate change change the type of allergens in the air. people that didn't have allergies in one area might now. >> so the people that come to your office and say, doctor make it stop what do you tell them? >> some of the most important things are just make sure we keep the pollen outside of your home. so if you can, shower right when you get in or take off your outer clothes when you come in. >> charlie, keep the pollen outside of your home. >> i'm remember that. >> no early morning jogging when pollen is at its highest. there's also been some newly fda approved prescription medicines for allergies, specifically one for ragweed as well. the most important thing, don't stress. we didn't know this but a recent study showed being stressed and anxiety actually can worsen your allergy symptoms. so if we can not worry about it it's even better. >> thank you. >> easier said than done though, when you're wheezing all over the place.
