at san jose for seven hours. >> gusting winds caused a hot air balloon to overshoot its landing zone. >> all that -- >> there she goes. welcome to the 500 club. >> it wouldn't be a world tour without being something awkward. >> i'm loving that. >> -- and all that matters. >> the military introduced us to its newest recruit, a robot that could one day take on missions for humans. >> -- on "cbs this morning. >> what is the family doing right now? >> they're waiting for me to hang around too much. i'm doing my show to the end of the year. i don't know. >> i should have asked. i should have asked. >> announcer: this morning's "eye opener" presented by toyota.

7:03 am
welcome to "cbs this morning." good morning, norah. >> good morning, charlie. as you wake up in the west, we begin with flight 370. washed up debris is getting a very close look in australia. but we're told it does not appear to be airplane wreckage. >> it was found on the southwestern edge. so far no trace of the malaysia airlines jet. elizabeth palmer just returned from malaysia and she's tracking developments from london including this new information. good morning. well, in new debris was found by the local police down there in augusta. there isn't a lot of detail yet. but until the object can be moved to the search core nation facilities, australian authorities are examining photographs of it which was washed up on the we've.
7:04 am
they have not made those images public yet, but they did send copy to the to ma lazian investigation team. there was a press conference and the transport minister didn't comment on the find. now, the australian media is describing the debris as three pieces of metal, one about the size of a car about distinct rivets on it and it was simply found washed up by somebody walking on the local beach. it's now been over 47 days since flight 370 and its 239 passengers and crew disappeared during that flight from kuala lumpur to beijing. the search has been intense ever since. they have scoured a large portion of the indian ocean west of australia there. but no trace of the wreckage of the plane has been found. just floating trash. it's still too early to say whether today's find is anything more significant, although families are clearly hoping that is so. charlie. >> elizabeth, thanks.
7:05 am
new critics of the irs. they doled out bonuses to those who didn't pay their own taxes. nancy cordes is on capitol hill. >> reporter: good morning to you and our viewers in the west. that's right, they owe money to the federal government and they were getting extra money in the form of bonuses. and what is most surprising is that it was all in line with federal regulations. internal watchdogs at the irs found that over the course of two years, 2,800 employees who had been disciplined for misconduct also received bonuses worth more than $2.8 million. the infractions included late payment or nonpayment of federal taxes, misuse of travel cards, even fraud. the problem, the report points out, is that the irs does not consider tax compliance or other misconduct when issuing
7:06 am
performance awards. in fact, government-wide policies do not provide guidance on providing awards to employees with conduct issues. darrell issa who chairs the oversight committee says that needs to change. >> you don't get bonuses, pay increases and promotions right after you've done something wrong in the private sector. that's what's wrong there. at a minimum people should have a time-out from bonuses and promotions after doing something wrong. that should be inherently part of the punishment. >> reporter: questionable bonuses was only a small fraction of the extra catch irs gave to its employees in 2012. but there's fresh outrage over those still steaming in 2013 that some tea party groups were singled out for extra scrutiny. >> there's no question this is a problem inside the federal government that money is spent like it's somebody else's
7:07 am
because it is. >> and part of the problem is that these bonuses are written into the contract between the unions for those irs workers. they're difficult to claw back during misconduct. they're part of a worker's salary, 70% of some workers get some form of bonus. the irs is working to change the system and it should have some answers, norah, by june. >> all right, nancy. thank you. president obama arrived in tokyo this morning on a first stop of a week-long trip to asia. his stops will include south korea. on his way to japan, the president toured oso, washington. the marine one helicopter toured over much of the town. the president also spoke with victims' families and encouraged rescue workers. >> there are still families searching for loved ones and families who lost everything and
7:08 am
it's going to be a difficult road for them. that's why i've come here, just to let you know the country is thinking about you and has been throughout this tragedy. >> two people are still missing a month after the disaster. ukraine's acting president says a truce with demonstrators is now over. meanwhile american troops are headed to poland for military exercises. in an interview this morning russia's foreign minister suggests the white house and the head of the cia is telling them what to do. >> it's quite chilling that they chose the united states visit to announce the resumption of it. happened immediately after john brennan's visit to kiev. i don't have any reason not to believe that the americans are running the show in the very
7:09 am
close way. >> holly williams in donetsk, ukraine, where much of it centered. holly, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. after an easter truce was broken here in ukraine, the country's government says it's relaunching what it calls an active anti-terror operation against pro russian separatists. some fear ukraine is edging closer to civil war. despite the government's new offensive, they refuse to leave the buildings they occupy against ukraine. they say the government discriminates against them and are demanding an independent state or at least more autonomy. but the leaders and the u.s. accuse russian agents of stirring up unrest. alexander is a college student
7:10 am
who's part of a separatist. >> are you worried that ukrainian military will try to push you out of this building. >> i think -- think that would give russia a reason to send military forces here. >> reporter: ukraine's fragile truce was broken by a gun battle on saturday though details are murky. in the town of slovyansk, they buried the dead. they've even apponted their own mayor, a former soviet soldier. he said yesterday they're expecting their town to be stormed by government forces,
7:11 am
and they're preparing for an attack. the danger is it could affect others. ukraine government is backed by let's go places. the u.s. and russia made no secret of its sympathy against the activists. >> thank you. now to the ferry disaster. the death toll is now at 150. seth doane is in jindo, south korea, where we're getting our first look at underwater footage showing what recovery crews face. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. it turns out the first distress signal of the ship didn't come from the captain or the crew. it came from a passenger who dialed their equivalent of 911 seven minutes before the crew sounded the distress signal under water, this is what divers
7:12 am
are up against as they try to break in to the submerged ferry to retrieve more victims. 20 of the 29 crew members survived the sinking of the sewol. four of them arrested tuesday talked outside court today. the chief mate described when the ferry started tilting and its equipment would not work. after that, he said, the captain decided to report a distress situation and deliver lifeboats but the ship was too slanted. the aunt of a missing student who would not reveal her name told us she thought the captain was a murderer. >> does it bring you any amount of relief to see the captain and crew members facing charges. >> the captain deserves to be sentenced to death.
7:13 am
he is not worth our tax dollar. he should be sent to an island where he eats grass and soil. about 250 of the missing or dead were students in a high school near seoul. a temporary memorial has been set up as a tribute to students. it's a place to gather and grieve. this high school student says students keep crying as they watch the reports. there's so many funerals they're trying to hold in that town that funeral directors have had to ask them to go to neighboring towns just to accommodate them. charlie? >> seth, thanks. the supreme court has said voters can make it illegal to consider race. they're praising the decision. jan crawford is outside the supreme court where the justices have handed down that 6-2 ruling. jan, good morning. >> good morning. what the justices did is basically change the playing field on affirmative action.
7:14 am
if you think about it, for four years the action has been here. yesterday they said we're backing out of that debate we're going to let voters in the state decide if they want their public universities to use race. that means states can use affirmative action if they want to but they don't have to. they have upheld the ban in michigan. that's similar to other states like california and florida. critics say they expect now other states across the country to follow those efforts. it will really start heating up in the states. >> as you pointed out, the court did not rule on the constitutionality, correct. >> that's right. states, voters, have a right.
7:15 am
>> justice society mifr sotomayor issued apimpassioned dissent. >> and she took an unusual step of reading parts of it aloud. spent about 12 minutes really saying the six justices just don't get it. race matters. remember, she grew up in the bronx, how she benefitted personally from affirmative action when she went on to the top echelons of ivy league schools and law schools. yesterday she talked about it and that race still matters and what the court did yesterday is put burdens on them. >> thanks so much. another court ruling may change the way we watch television. aereo is stealing their programs and replaying them for customers online. aereo's lawyer told the justices

7:17 am
>> blake and his friend were climbing the top spire located in the heart of yosemite national park. an experienced climber, he broke his back in the fall. >> he was in pretty bad shape. there wasn't a lot of relief. i was happy to see him alive but he was clearly very, very badly injured. >> tomsky called 911. a california highway helicopter located the scene and rescued team onto the scene. >> with its chopper blades close to the rock edge, they hoisted him to safety. >> i have the most utmost respect to their training and i'm extremely grateful to have them help me out. >> more than 100 climbing accidents occur in yosemite.
7:18 am
just last week they evacuated a woman who injured her back while hiking. >> he injured his spine. he can move his arms and legs so paralysis isn't an issue. >> thanks. time to show you some of the headlines. >> the american middle class is no longer an affluent part of that category. others received much higher raises over the last three decades but the wealthiest americans continue to earn more than their foreign counterparts. kcal has a settlement. a woman asked that her breast milk not be screened. she says security officers harassed her. the tsa agreed to change its policy regarding the screening of breath milk. >> jetblue had been the largest

7:32 am
john was not far behind when it struck. >> we were a couple hundred yards away. we saw the clouds and thought wow. even then you didn't realize that that whole line of sherpas was right understood neat it was, boy, that was close. >> and the circumstances of the sherpas' death on the notorious icefall where they were trying to make it safer for customers to follow had exposed fissures. not much has changed really since the day in 1953 when sir edmund hillary and his sherpa guide first reached the summit. he couldn't do it without him but hillary's is the first name associated with the claim. these days it's become a buck equity list ambition and a multi-million-dollar industry. they pay tens of thousands of
7:33 am
dollars to expedition companies and putting pressure on their sherpa guides to deliver them to the summit. yet, while the government of nepal collects $11,000 for each climb, the sherpas are paid a few thousand a year. it's big money by local standards but not much. now they appear split on whether to continue to work at existing pay and insurance strikes or whether to strike and close the mountain down. >> so wonderful, wonderful. they're so kind and so strong. they know this mountain and region. they're true partners up here. >> government officials in nepal have said they'll raise the insurance payout to the families of those who died, but many of the sherpa guides say the money is still not enough. many have left the mountain. others have stayed but whether
