7:04 am

7:06 am
times" to apologize for taking him out of context. that was before his comments were on youtube, proving he had been quoted correctly. >> president obama just finished a news conference in south korea. the president flew from japan to south korea this morning, the second stop on his four-nation asian tour. major garrett is traveling with the president in seoul. >> reporter: good morning. president obama said russian president vladimir putin has an increasing tendency to view the war through a cold war prism. mr. obama noted the collapse of middle east peace talks. with south korean president park at his side, he said the u.s. and europe are still looking toward diplomacy to resolve the crisis in ukraine. >> what we've been trying to do
7:07 am
is to continually raise the costs for russia of their actions, while still leaving the possibility of them moving in a different direction. you know, we will continue to keep some arrows in our quiver in the event that we see a further deterioration of the situation over the next several days or weeks. >> the president also conceded peace talks between israelis and palestinians are at an impasse with little optimism in sight. >> there's one door and that is the two parties getting together and making some very difficult political compromises in order to secure the future of both israelis and palestinians for future generations. we have not yet seen them walk through that door. we will continue to encourage them to walk through that door. do i expect that they will walk through that door next week, next month or even in the course of the next six months? no.

>> reporter: president obama also called north korea's foreign policy irresponsible and provocative and said its pursuit of ballistic missile technology and nuclear weapon technology not only threaten south korea and japan but, quote, pose a direct threat to the united states. >> ukraine's prime minister said russia wants to start world war iii and secretary of state john kerry is warning russia not to ignore the threat of new economic sanctions. >> let me be clear, if russia continues in this direction, it will not just be a grave mistake, it will be an expensive mistake. >> ukraine's military says it is starting the next stage of attacks against pro-russian militia. holly williams is in donetsk, one of cities where demonstrators hold government buildings. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. ukraine's government today said it will mount a blockade of a town just north of here which is
7:09 am
held by pro-russian separatists. that comes amidst of worst tensions between washington and moscow since the end of the cold war. russia has massed tens of thousands of troops on its border with ukraine and is now carrying out military exercises. so far u.s. intelligence does not believe they're readying for an imminent invasion. but tensions inside ukraine are running high. government soldiers began their offensive on the road to slavyanask yesterday, moving in and forcing pro-russian militants to abandon this check point, though when we arrived just a few hours later, we found the area back under the control of the separatists. one of the insurgents, vasilli, told us the government troops stole their food and medicine and left again. if they can't hold a check point like this one, they could struggle to take back the town of slavyanask, which is just
7:10 am
three miles in that direction and a separatist strong hold. slavyanask has been under the control of masked pro-russian gunmen for more than a week. moscow denies u.s. accusations that its agents are here helping the insurgents but it's made no secret of its sympathy for their cause and russia claims it has the right to intervene in eastern ukraine if its interests are attacked. russian president vladimir putin said yesterday that if ukraine used force against its own people, that would be a grave crime that would incur unspecified consequences. ukraine's government dropped these leaflets on the slavyanask area yesterday warning local residents to stay indoors and to keep a lookout for russian terrorists and saboteurs. anthony? >> holly williams, thanks. this morning the government is urging parents to get their children vaccinated after a
7:11 am
spike in measles cases. the cdc reports 129 outbreaks in 13 states since january. >> that is the highest number of cases in the first four months of any year in nearly two decades. dr. holly phillips is with us. good morning. >> good morning. >> measles was eradicated in the u.s. in 2000. what's behind this outbreak? >> the cdc has linked a number of these cases to be imported from places where measles is more common. the philippines is one of those places. but out of people contracting it within the country, the vast majority are unvaccinated, some for personal reasons and others are children who are too young to be vaccinated. >> how serious is this illness? >> it causes complications like ear infections and pneumonia and it is life threatening. you're contagious for four days
7:12 am
before you get any symptoms at all. it can spread like wildfire through a community if you're not vaccinated. >> the cdc does a study of the effectiveness of vaccine programs. what did they find on that? >> the vaccine program which launched in 1994 calling for vaccinations for children, it has been very, very effective. and it's still doing very well. in most states 90% of people get vaccinated for measles right on time but in 15 states the numbers are lower. california is one of those states so not surprisingly, they're the state hardest hit by the measles right now. >> as a physician, when you hear this, do you worry this is the effect when you don't get your children vaccinated? >> yes. we don't want to see these pockets popping up, especially for a disease that was theoretically eradicated years ago.
7:13 am
>> three businesses and several others were damaged in north bend. two people have minor injuries. firefighters are searching damaged buildings but don't expect to find any more victims. one report said a gas leak in a pizza shop may have triggered the explosion. >> smoke fills the sky in part of new jersey as crews battle a string of fast-moving wildfires. more than 600 families are back in their homes this morning after being forced out by the fires. no injuries have been reported. >> in parts of the west, it's a rainy start to the morning and more spring snow is on the way. forecasters warn of a possible tornado threat in the middle of the country. megan glaros is tracking the new storm systems. >> good morning. and good morning to those of you in the west, where we are looking at a storm system that could finally bring some much-needed rain to parts of southern california.
7:14 am
it's a low pressure system that will sink to the south bringing rain and snow to much of the western half of the country. on friday it will begin to move closer to the central portion of california and on saturday closer to los angeles before moving inland. it will bring a little bit of accumulation to l.a. and san diego, but the first accumulation we've seen since early april. heavy mountain snow could top as much as 10 inches in spots. as that low pressure moves into the plains and slowly progresses eastward, there is the possibility of a severe weather outbreak that could impact millions in the central portion of the country. >> megan, thanks. no word on the motive for a deadly attack on americans in afghanistan. the gunman is described as an afghan security guard. >> three americans were killed yesterday when a hospital guard opened fire in kabul,
7:15 am
afghanistan. one of the victims, jerry umanos is being remembered as a man who helped children. >> reporter: he was a chicago pediatrician. for the past nine years he worked at the cure hospital in kabul treating children and training afghan doctors. >> jerry would really like everybody to know about his love for the afghan people and our love for the afghan people and that we don't hold any ill will towards afghanistan in general. or even the gunman who did this. >> dr. keith rose worked with umanos. >> i'm sad for him and i'm sad for the people that he worked with because those that worked with him loved him.
7:16 am
>> reporter: though he spent much time aprbroad, he maintain pthat catered to low-income patients. he compared his patients there to those in afghanistan, children in need of help. >> he told me of a baby on a ventilator and knew when he went home, the power would go out overnight and so there would be no baby in the morning. >> a few weeks ago an afghan police officer shot two associated press journalists killing one. the runoff for the presidential elections are just a few weeks away. >> not only is it dangerous abroad certainly working but reporting and congratulations on your overseas press club award for your reporting. >> that's very kind of you. thank you. >> a hijacking scare overnight on a virgin australia flight to bali.

7:33 am
attend a ceremony that is controversial on several levels. john paul ii was put on the fast track of a process that usually takes decades, if not centuries. in response to chants of make him a saint now, pope benedict xvi dispensed with the mandated five-year waiting period for the work on proving sainthood to begin. in the case of john xxiii, beloved by catholics as the good pope, his life of holiness was judged to be a substitute for one of the two miracles required for canonization. a nun told the story of the now deceased member of her order who said she was cured thanks to the intersession of john xxiii. in response to those who ask whether or not miracles can be proven, there was lorie beth diaz, who said she was cured of a brain aneurysm thanks to john paul ii. a lot of people say i'm crazy but this crazy lady is healthy
7:34 am
and that's the most important thing for me. john paul ii and john xxiii were seen at coming from opposite poles of a divided catholic church. some claim one is being canonized to balance out the other. thomas rosica disagree. >> we have the liberal and conservatives and all of those differences pale in reality. what is a canonization? it's a declaration of holiness and proximity to god and people being offered up as role models for us. >> reporter: it's interesting to note that many people in the audience will have seen one and in some cases both of the new saints when they were still alive. that's something that hasn't happened since saints were proclaimed by public acclaimation centuries ago. gayle? >> thank you very much, allen pizzey. >> the city of irwindale is delaying a decision that could put sriracha production in

jeopardy. but the owner of the plant is all ready for a fight. >> reporter: the $60 million per queer sriracha hot sauce empire was created by this man, david tran. right now he's hot under the collar. >> why? why you so stupid? how can you run this city? >> reporter: he's angry with the irwindale city council, which may declare his factory an official public nuisance after several complaints of strong chilli pepper odors. >> it is eirritating my househod and i have doctors letters. >> reporter: cameras were let inside the new facility. tran had installed carbon filters on the roof and when the local air quality agency
7:36 am
inspected the plant, it did not find any violation. it also said nearly three quarters of all the complaints came from just five households. >> it p they say it emits a harmful smell. there must be evidence. from where? >> reporter: it seemed to have come in part from city manager john davidson, who toured the plant and told us the odors outside the plant was strong. >> he needs to have his nose checked. >> reporter: the city told tran to install a $600,000 air filtration system or they would do it and send him the bill. and you think they want to shut you down? >> of course. >> reporter: irwindale's mayor says that's not true. >> and i brought my own personal one to show that we want to work with you. we love the chilli sauce, we love everything about your company. we're just asking for minimal things.
7:37 am
>> reporter: but tran doesn't think he should have to spend $600,000 without hard evidence. he threatened to shut down the plant and ten other states want his business. but you've invested tens of millions of dollars here. would you really move or are you just bluffing? >> the most important thing, my workers cannot follow me. so i need to stay here to keep the jobs for them. >> reporter: hundreds rely on tran for their livelihood and he seems to know that losing his hot sauce business could leave the city in hot water. for "cbs this morning," ben tracy, irwindale, california. >> we've been on top of this story since the very beginning. >> you're right, a lot of sriracha fans here, but the owner of this plant, mr. tran, he's the best. >> we want the story to continue just so we can hear from him. and i want that shirt, "i want some sriracha on my sriracha."

. some of the world's most dangerous weapons sit below the country's countryside. lesley stahl joins us. but first a preview of sunday night's report. >> reporter: flying over the plains of wyoming in an old huey helicopter, we came upon a small fenced-in lot. it didn't look like much. air force colonel carl jones told us that underneath the concrete near that white pole there's a minuteman 3 missile, one of the deadliest and most powerful weapons on the planet. so is this particular missile armed right now with a nuclear war head? >> it is. >> reporter: the warhead on each of these land-based missiles is 20 times more powerful than the

bomb dropped on hiroshima. >> is this a farm right here? >> it is. >> we were surprised the missiles were close to rural communities. we saw bales of hay and herds of grazes cattle. >> it's a safe weapon. it's not going to do anything here on the ground. >> reporter: if by accident or deliberate act one of those missiles launched, is there a way to disarm it or bring it back? >> we can only launch with direction from the president of the united states. once that missile is gone, there's no way to recall it or disarmthe w disarm the warhead on the missile. once it's gone, it's gone. >> leslie joins us. very few people have been able to go into these facilities. from what i understand, some of these facilities are primitive?
7:45 am
>> antique. they're using equipment that go back to the 60s. they're using floppy discs, big ones you've never seen. >> would you think they could update it if they wanted to. >> well, they're doing it. it's so interesting. when we saw it we thought, what? this is nuts. but they realized that no cyber terrorist could ever attack this base because the equipment cannot -- they can't get on the internet. so there's no avenue in for someone outside the system. >> very interesting. >> so they're going to keep it this way. >> leslie, there have been some stories about those who guard these nuclear weapons, cheating scandals, et cetera. are they safe? what is the air force doing to make sure the people protecting these facilities are trustworthy? >> they're doing a lot. they're changing systems, they're trying to boost morale. they're called missileeers. most of them are very young and just out of college. they're all officers in the air

force but they're trying to make this job more appealing. it was kind of a dead end job, and they're changing a lot. they're dealing with this problem. and the reason we discovered that there was cheating is that they have tests constantly and they have to get 100. >> did you call and say "this is lesley stahl from "60 minutes"? why did they let new at this time? >> i'm speculating but i think they wanted to assure people that while there was cheating, that are dealing with it and that basically the system is safe and that any time they find it isn't, they're going to pounce on it. and they have been pouncing to fix these problems, which are basically morale problems. >> and how many of those warheads will be reduced given the s.t.a.r.t. treaty? >> my understanding is they're not going to reduce the land base. they're going to reduce them on

find what they regard as a suitable mate. if a higher-earning man is not available, many women are more likely not to marry at all. yes. so enjoy your equal pay, lady. you can spend it on friskies for your hundreds of cats because you're dying alone. >> i hope we get to see some of that when he takes over "the late show." that is hilarious stuff. friskies and cats. no, thank you. 70% of internet users are on social media. i'm allergic to cats. i don't dislike them. so cat people, please don't come after me. starting over. 73% of internet users are on social media with billions of postings about vacations and food, the sites are breeding grounds for envy. but "wall street journal" contributor jennifer wallace believes there's actually a good side to the deadly sin, and she joins us at the table. jennifer, good to see you again. let's start with the bad side. a friend of mine just told me that when you look at social media and envy, it really is a competition for best life, and nobody really measures up. what's the connection between
8:43 am
the two? >> well, that's interesting. social media is our -- when we post on facebook, we're posting the best of us. but we do the same thing when we walk out of the house, right? we always want to look nice. we want to show the best of us to the world. that's really not that much of a difference. i'd say the big difference is with social media and envy, we feel envy online and offline. but what's interesting about facebook and social media is that the people that we're networking with online are the very people we are most likely to envy. so we envy people most like us and the people that we're connected to are the people most like us. >> so we have to feel it's attainable in order for us to feel envy. >> that's right. >> people aren't envying angelina jolie, right. >> that's more admiration. >> got it. >> the only other thing i would say about social networking and book is that now we have 24-hour access to all kinds of envy triggers. we used to be able to go home, shut ourselves in our rooms and relax and now we're logging on and looking at vacation photos
8:44 am
of trips we can't afford and job promotions that we're not getting. >> i admit, i have had social envy, and i had it during the christmastime because i was looking at people's vacation pictures, you know. they were skiing and then they were at some fabulous place in the caribbean. but you actually say envy is a good thing. how so? >> i do. first let me define envy. there are two different envies that we're talking about. there's benign envy which is the good envy, and there's malicious envy which is the not-so-good envy. malicious envy is let's say a colleague gets promoted. malicious envy would make you want to undercut that person so that you look better by comparison. benign envy, though, is really a motivator. it can also untap ambitions we didn't know we had. right? we often can lie to ourselves or fool ourselves. but you can't fool your envy. >> are envy and jealousy different feelings? >> yes. we often sort of use them as the same term, but they're different -- distinct differences to them. envy is the feeling that you are
8:45 am
wanting something that someone else has. whereas jealousy is the fear of losing something you already have. for example if i were to go to a cocktail party with my husband and i see a gorgeous woman talking to him, i might feel envy of her beauty or how beautifully she's put together. >> and i might want to slap her. >> right. >> i'm not talking about myself. >> that's malicious envy, by the way. >> is that malicious envy? >> yeah. >> and jealousy, too. you're racking them up here. >> but jealousy would be the fear that maybe i would lose him to her. so they are two different emotions. >> what about this study, though, that the more you're on facebook, the less happy you are? >> yes. yeah, that just came out last year. it's not a friendly picture. yes. they were interviewing people in their 20s and college students out at the university of michigan, and they were saying the more we log on, the less happy we are. >> yeah, but nobody's posting pictures of themselves when
