welcome to "cbs this morning." >> some terrible news this morning. >> we begin in afghanistan where american civilians have been gunned down by someone who was supposed to protect them. it happened this morning at a hospital in kabul. >> three americans were shot to death and another was wounded. charlie joins us now in studio 57. what happened? >> reporter: the u.s. embassy in kabul confirmed the american deaths after a shooting at a hospital run by the american christian charity cure. >> one of the victims was meeting friends at the hospital's gates when an afghan security guard opened fire killing him and two others and leaving a fourth person wounded. the police chief in kabul says the guard is in custody and he's worked at the hospital for two years and is originally from the eastern part of the country. security in afghanistan has deteriorated since the start of

this year. earlier this month a shooter attacked two journalists working for the associated press, killing one and wounding another. that incident followed an attack on both a hotel and restaurant both popular with westerners and near the u.s. embassy compound in the capital. >> we were in afghanistan earlier this month for presidential elections, which saw large voter turnout, relatively minute ma'amimal violence. it remains to be seen who the next leader of the country will be and which direction it will go. >> and say it's some of the worst violence you've seen? >> it's changed entirely. in the past six months or so they started targeting westerners. we saw it with this attack today, we saw it with the killing of the a.p. journalist earlier this money and the attacks at the hotel where we stay and the restaurant. so it is a concerted attempt to attack westerners and foreigners. >> charlie, thank you. >> president obama is finishing his second day in japan while keeping an eye on china and

russia. today he attended a state dinner at the japanese emperor's home. the president said the u.s. and japan must work better together. he also raised the possibility of new sanctions if russia doesn't pull back in ukraine. major garrett is traveling with the president in tokyo. major, good morning. >> good morning. the crisis in ukraine overshadowed president obama's efforts to reassert u.s. military clout here in asia the base of what he called continued russian defines and provocations provocations. president obama set a new front in the economic war with moscow could be opened in a matter of days. >> we have been preparing for the prospect that we're going to have to engage in further sanctions. those are teed up. it requires some technical work and it also requires coordination with other countries. so the fact that i haven't announced them yet doesn't mean that they haven't been prepared

and teed up. >> japanese prime minister shinzo abe said he had confidence in the president's approach to ukraine but expressed real doubts russian president vladimir putin would change course. >> so far at least they have not chosen the wise path. i understand that additional sanctions may not change mr. putin's calculus. that's possible. how well they change his calculus in part depends on not just us applying sanctions but also the cooperation of other chris. >> the president said moscow can avoid sanction beneficial easing up on ukraine's fragile government and allow free elections on may 25th. >> it wouldn't require a radical shift. it would require the kind of shifts on paper they agreed to as recently as last week. >> there are tensions here as well. mr. obama came out strongly in defense of japan warning china

the united states would defend against any chinese effort to seize disputed islands in the east china sea that japan has long considered its own. the president also called north korea dangerous and predictably provocative adding the south korean government here in japan can rely on u.s. military protection. charlie? >> major thanks. >> russia launched new military drills this morning along the ukrainian border. russia's defense minister said it comes after a deadly new offensive against pro-russian militants. at least two militants were killed today. holly williams joins us. good morning. >> reporter: they have reclaimed separatist positions. they are moving towards slavyanask, which has been occupied by separatists for more than a week.

according to records, separatists were backing control of this site two hours later but trying to force the separatists out carries high risks because russia has made no secret of its sympathy for the militants and now russia's foreign minister has issued the country's strongest warning yet that violence in ukraine could prompt moscow to intervene. >> if our interests, legitimate interest the interests of russians have been attacked directly like they were in southeast asia for example, i don't see any other way but to respond in full accordance with international law. >> ukraine's government calls this offensive an anti-terror operation but there are questions over the country's small and underfunded military. in donetsk, the separatists have occupied this government building and are adamant they won't lead until there's a referendum on independent statehood for eastern ukraine.

the masked men guarding the building told us they're willing to fight to stay here and aren't afraid of their country's security forces. the russian president, vladimir putin, said today if ukraine's government has used its army here in the east of the country then that is a serious crime and there will be consequences. norah? >> holly, thank you. >> the food and drug administration says this morning it will seek stricter regulation of non-smoke tobacco products including electronic cigarettes. advocates say ecigarettes can be a healthier alternative to traditional smoking but the fda says it's too soon to tell if the product is safe. chip reid is at a vapor shop in washington. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. the fda says today's nonsment is an important step toward regulating what it calls the wild wild west of e-cigarettes. with the rise of the electronic

cigarette, more americans are switching on instead of lighting up. but the battery powered devices aren't regulated by the fda. commissioner margaret hamburg said that needs to change. >> this lays the foundation for fda to regulate a set of tobacco products that are in use now and may be in use in the future. >> once finalized, the new regulations will outlaw e-cigarette sales to anyone under 18. they would be banned from most vending machines and would be required to carry a warning label that they're addictive. like other tobacco companies e-cigarette manufacturers would have to register with the fda and provide a list of ingredients. they would not place limits on internet sales. hamburg said those rules could come later.

>> one thing we do know is that there are more and more e-cigarettes out there and that many of them are increasingly targeted towards young people as well with flavors like strawberry and thin mint. >> about 20% of americans are smokers and traditional tobacco earns an estimated $100 billion each year. but e-cigarettes are becoming increasingly popular. for the first time the industry is projected to top $1 billion in 2014. one of the biggest concerns about e-cigarettes is they will be attractive to minors who will then eventually transition to real cigarettes. we talked to a major supplier of e-cigarettes who say they agree they should be limited to those 18 years and older and the owners of this shot agree. >> gun rights advocates are

celebrating a major victory this morning. governor deal signed sweeping legislation wednesday. and critics call it the guns everywhere law. anna, good morning. >> reporter: good morning to our viewers in the west. this new measure means people can even carry guns right here in the airport outside of security. it's all part of a new law that the national rifle association calls the most comprehensive pro-gun bill in state history. >> this is house bill 60. >> reporter: flanked by the law's supporters governor nathan deal side the safe carry protection act of 2014 as hundreds of gun owners cheered. >> house bill 60 will protect law abiding citizens by expanding the number of places that they can carry their guns without penalty. >> reporter: when the law goes into effect on july 1st firearms will be allowed inside unsecured public buildings like libraries and recreational

centers and parts of airports that lie outside security check points. they can be brought into bars and houses of worship with permission from property owners. teachers and school officials can also carry their guns into classrooms so long as the district allows it. while the governor and his supporters celebrated victory, critics gathered in atlanta and held a moment of silence to remember shooting victims. they say the new law will increase gun violence. veronica taylor's son was shot and killed by another teen. >> i don't believe that it's necessary to arm our teachers. i don't think it's necessary to have guns in churches and in bars. i think that it's horribly irresponsible. >> reporter: but gun owners say they should be able to protect themselves no matter where they go. >> the bad guys are going to be there with firearms and we feel that we should be able to defend ourselves because the police can't always be there. >> reporter: some law enforcement agencies took issue

with the provision that prohibits police from approaching someone they suspect has a gun, unless that person is clearly committing a crime. >> and even if it's not covered up and it's out in the open we can no longer just walk up to you, hey, you got a license to go with that weapon? >> reporter: the law's supporters save police should have nothing to fear from law abiding citizens. norah, another controversial part of this measure is that it allows people to invoke the state's stand your ground defense, even if they were in possession of the gun illegally. >> wow. anna, thank you. another storm front is causing trouble in the middle of the country. large hail fell like snow yesterday in western oklahoma. some of the hail stones were the size of golf balls. more hail and damaging winds could hit areas from texas to tennessee today.

>> apple stock opened higher after the company change p prompromised a big change for shareholders. share fell more than $4 wednesday. after the company's announcement, the stock jumped 8% in after-hour trading. jill schlesinger is here. good morning. >> good morning. >> so is this a good thing? >> this is a great thing if you're a shareholder. this is rewarding shareholders for their patience. apple stock reached $705 a share way back two years ago, it's been a long haul. haven't been a lot of new products since then. so we've got three components here. the company is going to increase its share buybacks it's going to give a little boost, a quarterly dividend increase of 8%. it's also going to do the 7 for 1 stock split. a stock split doesn't add anything to you. it doesn't mean if you're a shareholder you get more value, but it could lure smaller investors into the fray could

increase the liquidity, could see the stock rise. >> activist shareholders have been pushing apple to do this. >> carl icahn has been squawking about this for a long time. when you're sitting on $155 billion and you're not giving it back to your shareholders and not buying anything or creating anything new, shareholders are impatient, they want some money. >> they haven't introduced a new product in several years. what does that mean for and snlpple? >> i think the pressure is on tim cook. we haven't seen a brand new product. we've seen new versions but we haven't seen a new product since 2010. the second half of this year we're expecting a new iphone 6. that's not a new product. is it the apple tv is it a watch? is it something? it should be. this is a company that's supposed to innovate and change consumers. we haven't seen a lot. i think that's going to be a real question in the future.

>> and amazon is buying new products. >> and facebook tripled their profits from last year. >> this stock is amazing. look at the ride it's been on. ipo two years ago, cratered after the ipo and has been rising ever since. >> the death toll from last week's ferry disaster nour stands at 1781. more than 130 are missing. reports say bodies found in recent days had broken fingers. it appears the victims desperately tried to climb walls or floors to escape. >> a new setback in the search for flight 370. debris that washed ashore is not related to that missing jet.

it appeared to be sheet metal with riffetsvets. still no trace this morning. >> and football fans are poring over the 2014 nfl schedule this morning. the season opens with the green bay packers taking on the super bowl champion seattle seahawks on september 4. and the pittsburgh stealers play the baltimore ravens. to see the full rundown of the 2014 nfl season log on to cbs sports.com. >> time now to show you some of this morning's headlines. the "new york times" said an fbi informant coordinated cyber attacks on foreign web sites. hundreds of attacks were launched in 2012. the hacked sites include those run by the governments of iran syria and pakistan. >> the former commander of the navy's blue angels is being

dr. mccourt had never settled or lost a malpractice lawsuit. in a statement he wrote, "we will not verify many of these misstatements and ill-founded allegations of the hundreds of patients dr. mccord has treated the vast majority of them are much improved." but concerns about this procedure go beyond dr. mccord. when we looked into the surgeons that performed the most spinal fusions in the medicare data we found some were suspended by hospitals or settled lawsuits alleging inappropriate procedures. why are all of these spinal fusions being done in your view when they are inappropriate? >> i have to believe that the surgeons think they're doing good. every surgeon i think believes they're better than their peers. >> reporter: let me ask you about another potential factor the money factor. >> it's a confounding issue. surgeons get paid for doing surgeries. >> reporter: a doctor can make thousands of dollars from a

surgeons across the country and shared one top doctor's reactions. >> does the data show if any of these spinal fusions were unnecessary? >> it doesn't show either way, but dr. merza says if your surgeon is performing a lot more than their peer, you may want to ask why and get another opinion. one of these procedures can cost well over $50,000, including hospital fees. as for medicare patients we taxpayers are footing that bill. >> thank you very much. and ahead, taking to the sky, the search for a disaster underground. how nasa researchers believe they can predict where the next sinkhole sink think hole will come from. that's next on "cbs this morning." ♪ i feel the sky tumbling down i feel my heart starts atrembling whenever you're around ♪ if you have moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis, like me, and you're talking to your rheumatologist

future track how they're developed nationwide and could possibly prevent people from being taken by surprise. nasa says it hopes to implement its research nationwide. >> vicente, thanks.

♪ good morning to our viewer hs on the west coast. it is thursday april 24th 2014. welcome back to "cbs this morning." more real news ahead including the evidence that smoking pot can damage your heart. but first a look at today's "eye opener" at 8:00. >> the u.s. embassy in kabul confirmed the american deaths after a shooting at a hospital run by the american christian charity. >> in afghanistan, american civilians have been gunned down by someone who was supposed to protect them. it happened this morning. >> mr. obama said he is inching closer to imposing a new round of economic sanctions.

>> the fda says today's announcement is an important step to regulating the wild wild west of these cigarettes. >> people can carry guns right here in the airport outside of security. it's all part of a new law. >> the great thing is if you're a shareholder, this is rewarding shareholders for their patience. >> michael panetta could be suspended for several games. he was caught cheating last night. >> nasa has come up with research that can determine a sinkhole like this one will grow. >> how accurate is this? >> on a centimeter level. >> that accurate? >> yes. >> "time" magazine is out this morning with its list of the most 100 influential people in the world. >> and our own sam rosen that will is on the lips. a lot of people could be on the lips but they ain't. >> i'm sam rosen that will with gayle king and norah o'donnell. we are learning new information of the shooting death of me

three americans in afghanistan this morning. a security guard opened fire in kabul today. the targets were doctors at a hospital run by an american christian charity. >> one of the dead americans is identified as a pediatrician from chicago. he worked in afghanistan for the last seven years. a fourth american was wounded in the attack. police say they arrested the gunman. it is the second time in less than a month that a security worker killed westerners in afghanistan. >> in japan, president obama says new sanctions are keyed up if russia takes any more steps to destabilize ukraine. the president finished a busy day with a state dinner tokyo. japan's emperor and empress were there along with the prime minister. earlier, the president called for the two countries to work harder to finish an asia-pacific trade agreement. negotiations broke off today. >> the president's visit to japan is a high-profile occasion for his official representative. it's a familiar role for caroline kennedy, who's quickly turning into a no-nonsense diplomat. major garrett is in tokyo where

he interviewed the new united states ambassador. major, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. her powerful family name and caroline kennedy was greeted here like a celebrity. she talked to us about her decision to jump into some of the most culturally sensitive issues in japan and how she engages in diplomacy in a region increasingly on edge. caroline kennedy, part of american political royalty, is now president obama's eyes and ears in tokyo. >> it's a complicated region with a complicated history. north korea is a threat that is you know causing great concern, i think, throughout the region and the world. that's our number-one security challenge here. but i think overall the u.s./japan alliance is very strong. >> reporter: kennedy has tested that alliance publicly opposing a long-standing japanese tradition of dolphin hunting and expressing disappointment with prime minister shinzo abe for visiting a controversial war shrine shrine. you have surprised some people by your outspokenness.

should they have been surprised? >> well, the united states is, you know attracts attention here in japan as it does around the world, and so i think everything we do is scrutinized and publicized and, you know, those are -- i think those issues call out attention, but in fact, the more important issues are the things that we are working closely together on that don't attract attention. >> reporter: but the ambassador attracts attention everywhere, and that means surmounting a significant language barrier. how's your japanese? >> i'm working on it. >> reporter: the best word you can say? >> arigato. >> reporter: that means "thank you," something that most japanese are still saying to president obama for sending such a close political ally and recognizable figure here as ambassador. he concedes it might be more difficult to be a diplomat to an ally than a rival because every bit of criticism, no matter how small, attracts huge headlines. of course kennedy is also realizing she attracts headlines here no matter what.

norah? >> all right major. arigato. thank you. general motors says this winter's massive recall did a number on gm's bottom line. the auto giant reports this morning profits fell 86% in the first three months of 2014 compared to last year. it's the worst result since the company left bankruptcy five years ago. in february gm began a series of recalls to fix an ignition problem blamed for 13 deaths. new research on marijuana is raising health concerns this morning. a study in the journal of the american heart association suggests that young and middle-age adult who is smoke pot could be putting themselves at heart-related complications, even death. cbs news medical contributor is a cardiologist at lennoxville hospital in new york and joins us at the table. a lot of people are looking at you going what you talking act, willis? we'd like to know how the study was done and what did they find. >> this is a study that took place in france. basically they looked at patient who is had reported serious cardiovascular events, and they looked at those patient who is had reported using marijuana in

the setting of the prior year. what they found is between 2006 and 2010 there were 35 cases of serious cardiovascular events 20 of which were heart attacks, several other were strokes. they primarily occurred in young males around the age of 30 and 25% of these cases resulted in death. so these sound like very big statistics. but overall the case number was very low. the concern is that it raises a flag about a possible signal for a link between marijuana and serious cardiovascular complications. >> wo do we really know that the marijuana caused the heart attack? >> we don't know that and that's the big question. this study was not the kind we can say cause and effect, this proves this. it is confounded by the fact that some of the patients used tobacco or alcohol and reported self-reporting so the people had to say i used marijuana and the doctors had to ask and then report it. a lot of information that's confusing. >> if you had to self-report, how honest would you be? you know i've been using marijuana. that would raise a red flag.

>> exactly. >> since you're a cardiovascular, how might pot affect the heart? >> we obviously need more research about this but it can cause several changes. it can increase the heart rate and blood pressure which increases the oxygen demand to the heart. kit decrease the oxygen supply because it raises carbon monoxide levels in the blood. it can be tox toik the heart muscle and cause increased clotting in the blood vessels that can lead to heart attack or stroke. >> even with occasional use? >> yes. there was one study of 3,000 patients that showed in the one hour following smoking marijuana there was a five times increased risk of heart attack. >> i was wondering that too, norah. people that use it all the time or just occasionally but you're saying it doesn't matter. what are the implications going forward? >> i think the biggest thing is has the science lagged behind what's happening politically in this country in terms of legalization. we need more research to be able to say definitively that marijuana doesn't have these serious side effects. it's listed as a schedule one drug by the dea, which means we haven't been able to test it in

clinical trials. >> thank you. >> good warnings this morning. thank you. >> good to see you. and this morning we're hearing from the father of that stowaway who flew to hawaii under a boeing 767. the father tells the voice of america he was confused when police came to talk about his son. the 15-year-old jumped over an airport fence in san jose, california, and climbed to the jet's wheel well. he survived the five-hour trip to maui in freezing conditions. the boy remains hospitalized. he moved to the u.s. from africa four years ago. his father believes the teenager ran away from home because he was struggling with school. >> sadder and sadder the more you hear about it. >> missed his mom, struggling with school. >> glad he's all right. chris cole bellow of the minnesota twins is a feel-good story of the baseball season. he played nine years in the minors but this year he finally got a chance to play full-time in the majors and he is off to a hot, hot start. his parents were in the stands last night to watch him take on

hit, what happened? >> i saw a bright flash of light, i was on the ground they pummeled me repeatedly. i went to the doctor and i had a profound concussion and bleeding kidney and was released home. >> when did you realize something had changed, you had this new ability? >> immediately afterwards. coming home from the hospital i thought it was the pain medicine they had given me that made me feel strange. i knew instantly within days something was different. >> what was different? >> the way things look. things looked like individual picture frames coming in and clouds moving. instead of smooth they looked like tangent lines. everything was discrete and chunky. >> we can learn a lot about the brain and function now. tell us what doctors say happened to your brain. >> they say basically they did a functional mri, which shows what part of your brain is active when you're doing whatever activity and said basically i have access to areas of the brain that we normally don't have conscious access to. >> that's fascinating to me is

you see geometry and math in everything. >> everything. >> give us examples. you're walking down a street you see a tree people cutting grass, rain drops, what is it that you see? >> rain drops to me they're these beautiful interference patterns and they don't look like they're these smooth round ripples. they look like they're little tangent lines. again, the smoothness is gone from everything. trees moving would be like an equation translating, like if you were to write an equation and it translates it makes graphs change. everything is moving. >> what do you do with this information? >> i build it geometrically in my mind and now that i've gone back to school i can go back and draw the equations like pi. >> are you glad this happened to you? i wouldn't give ut up for anything but there's been difficulties that came with it. i had severe posttraumatic stress afterwards. i didn't leave my house for almost three years. ocd came with it which i'm working on. >> the most exciting thing about

this is you had an accident, opened up parts of your brain you were not using. what does this mean that it's in most of our brains that we may not know about are used or anything else? >> it means that we all have this ability within us. i had no prior training whatsoever, and like we're all doing complicated math and fidsices -- again, if somebody throws a ball and you catch it, you calculate theation nal field, everything and you caught that ball if you wrote that as an equation that's a serious equation to write that but you just catch the ball automatically. >> you were instrumental in leading to the arrest of the people that did this to you but you say you can forgive them. >> yeah. i would like to see what they're up to now. i even told them at the time they were getting arrested if they changed their life i'd like to meet them someday and i could forgive them because the first three years i went over in my mind a million times how i'd beat these guys up but eventually i forgave them because it just hurt me to think about it all the time. >> extraordinary story. >> david padgett, thank you so much.

drive a conversation. i asked the governor to consider having a debate over these issues, and i think it would be instructional for the country to see two very large substantive state regulatories sit down and talk politics and skilled work force and decide which of them best suit their needs. >> do you like debates? >> yeah i'm getting where i like them better. i did a lot of them no 2011. last time. we see you giving interviews challenging a prominent democratic governor to a debate is. this the beginning of a new

presidential campaign. >> norah theerk absolutely correct. one of the more humbling experiences i had was going through the 2011/2012 process. i learned a lot of lessons, the leaf of which is if you're going to run for presidency you don't have major back surgery six weeks before you start and you spend a lot of time in preparation. preparation, no matter what i'm going to do in my future life, the preparation of whether it's foreign policy whether it's good economic policies wlrks it's a broad array of issues that you need to have your hand and your mind around is good. and so that will serve me well but until that day happens gayle, i'm going to be promoting texas business. >> i got it but you said the experience of the 2012 presidential campaign was good for you. how so and what did you leadership about yourself as a man? are you a better person today? >> it was a very humbling experience and i think how people respond when they've been knocked down is a better

reflection of their character than if anything is all blue sky with the wind behind your back. i've had the wind in my farks i've been knocked down and i -- >> okay, go ahead, norah. >> -- am ready to move on. >> i want to ask you questions about nevada and then jeb bush. you know ranchers took up the ush of land management and it's spilling into your state. what do you think about clyde bundy? >> i think he's a side story. i think federal government and how they deal with these issues of private citizens whether it's on public lands or -- whether in the staut of texas we even got a big issue of whether this is private land or public land and rather than sending armed troops i don't think that is the way the gocht should be handling any of these. we saw a huge de-bako with waco

ten years ago. i hope our government officials are very very wise and use common sense when it comes to these issues of conflict within the borders of the united states dealing with something that should be able to be dealt with in a substantially less confrontational way. >> and just to button up real quick. they made statements. do you denounce those comments? >> i don't know what he said but the fact is clyde bundy is a side issue here compared to what we're looking at in the state of texas. deal with his issues as you may. what we have in the state of texas i don't get distracted about is the federal government is coming in and attempting from our per expect tin to take over improvement prop it. if this country is to stay the lablt of lob earth, private prop it rights must be respected.

>> is ingrags -- >> not at all. i think it's about to change substantially because of the energy in mexico and the proliferation of jobs that's going to be created. the bigger issue, charlie, may be howl we're going to have the individuals in this country to fill all the jobs that are going to be needed in america. i think wurch debate maybe more important than the other. >> football schedule released today. whole do you want? >> both. i don't know how you have that, but that's an awesome one. >> you're from texas a former president and governor his brother's thinking about running. what you do think? >> i don't know. it's way early. he's kaunl man and a friend and a good governor when he was out in floor. florida. i'm going to mary sure i spent my time that rick scott gets
