welcome to "cbs this morning." good morning morenorah. good morning, charlie. >> there is a desperate rescue mission going on right now in turkey. an explosion in a coal mine killed well over 200 workers. crews are racing to rescue more inside. >> this happened about 100 miles south of istanbul. holly is in turkey waiting for word. >> reporter: good morning. rescue missions continue. but we don't know how many or if any of the trapped miners are still alive. the timing could not have been any worse. the mine was packed with more than 700 workers, as two teams changed shifts when an explosion in a power distribution unit a

mile underground sparked a fire. more than 300 miners have been rescued, some of them critically injured. others have emerged unscathed, like these men who surfaced to a crowd desperate for good news but the turkish government said its hopes of finding more survivors are diminishing and it expects the death toll to rise. many of the dead were killed by carbon monoxide poisoning and 24 hours after the explosion, the fire is still burning with hundreds trapped underground, it's thought parts of the mine are filled with poisonous gas. outside the gates of the local hospital, families are waiting for news fearing that it will be of the very worst kind. my husband is still in the mine said this woman. i don't know what's happening. i haven't heard anything. mining accidents are common here in turkey and safety standards

are low, but the scale of this disaster is already fueling public anger and that's been exacerbated by reports this morning that one of the dead miners was only 15 years old. >> holly, thanks. >> there are disturbing signs this morning that a deadly disease may be spreading from florida to other parts of the country. a mers patient in orlando appears to have affected at least two other people. >> the original patient waited in a busy emergency room for four hours and it took another eight hours before doctors moved him into isolation. dr. holly phillips says this case is now a priority at the centers for disease control. holly, this is serious. good morning. >> very much so. the cdc is now trying to track down around 100 popeople who may have overland with the infected

patient. mers has already killed an estimated 145 people worldwide. now it's in the u.s. and health officials are taking it seriously. at this hospital in ororlando, florida, doctors say two hospital workers who were exposed to the patient with mers have shown worrisome symptoms and one has been hospitalized. as a precaution another 20 health care workers have been sent home and are being closely watched. >> they need to become very proficient with handling the mers virus. >> the infected patient departed from saudi arabia on may 1st. while traveling, he developed flu-like symptoms. a full week later he was admitted to the hospital in florida. the cdc has started posting

these warnings at major airports explaining the possible mers risk to passengers. >> it has a very high mortality rate. about a third of the people who acquired this infection have died of it. >> reporter: this is the second case of the mers virus. concern of a possible outbreak has even reached the white house. >> the president has been briefed on this development. the cdc is taking the situation very seriously and working in close coordination with health authorities. >> once contracted, it takes five days to two weeks to become showing symptoms of mers. there's currently no cure or vaccine for the virus. >> thank you, holly. >> there appears a wildfire scare in san diego could be an early sign of big trouble to come. at one point tens of thousands of people were told they might

need to leave their homes. that evacuation warning was called off a few hours later. carter evans is in san diego. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. and good morning to our viewers here in the west. it was gusty winds and high heat that fueled this fire. and while that's fairly common for this part of the country, what is not typical is the combination of these fires and high winds this early in the year. firefighters battled for hours to contain the flames that dotted hill top neighborhoods north of san diego. >> this is the san diego police department. we strongly recommend you evacuate your home. the fire is coming your ways. >> police evacuated about 5,000 homes. >> watch for a wind shift here. >> those wind shifts made it a challenging day for firefighter. >> we're going to get right in the middle of the smoke. >> some people stayed to keep watch over their homes and tried to help. >> you guys are pumping right

out of the pool? >> right out of the pool. i have a pumping system. >> you're not supposed to be here. come on! >> officials say months of drought is left the landscape here parched and ripe for fire. >> these are incredibly difficult and dynamic emergencies to contain. >> reporter: crews were able to get the upper hand on this fire. >> very lucky, absolutely. >> reporter: fire officials say the worst of this emergency appears to have passed but with the conditions we're facing now, this could be a brutal fire service and the national weather service is predicting record high heat through the middle of this week. >> thank you so much. this morning the nba commissioner promises the league is trying to force donald sterling out as quickly as possible. and magic johnson says the los

angeles clippers owner is quote, living in the stone ages. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. the donald sterling saga continues, as what was supposed to be his apology has back fired. magic johnson says he doesn't know why sterling is so fixated with him and that when it comes to his record, he says sterling has it all wrong. >> it is a shame that he doesn't know what he's talking about. >> reporter: magic johnson defended himself in an interview with cnn's anderson cooper after donald sterling blasted the nba legend the day before. >> magic johnson shouldn't have been included in your conversation because i have nothing do with this. but since you put me in it again and they you want to try to disrespect me of the work that i've done in the minority community, that really makes me upset. then my competitive spirit comes out because i've done all this great work. >> reporter: we've heard sterling first mention johnson

in his taped audio recording. he was upset with this picture of his former girl friend v. stiviano. he doubled down on his disdain for johnson. >> what kind of guy goes to every city sleeps with every girl and that catches hiv specific that someone he want to tell our children about? what does he do for the black people in he doesn't do anything. >> reporter: he is known for his philanthropy in black communities. he's funded education programs and works to create jobs in inner city neighborhoods. >> i just wish he knew the facts when he's talking, but he's a man who is upset and he's reaching. he's reaching. he's trying to find something he can grab on to to help him save his team.

>> magic johnson says he's praying for donald sterling but the notion he's trying to steel the clippers franchise from him is ridiculous. >> this notion that i'm going to steal his team if i'm going to trick somebody it won't be the l.a. clippers. >> and the nba met on tuesday to discuss the recent media comments by him and his wife shelley. the commissioner said his goal is to quickly terminate the ownership of donald sterling. >> good to see magic handle this with humor, despite being maligned so publicly. >> and should never have been involved in this at all, as he said. >> now to an update on the kidnapped nigerian school girls. a negotiator with the nigerian

government says troops are searching two areas where boko haram is known to operate. a drone is now part of the search for the girls. nancy, good morning. >> reporter: good morning to you and our viewers in the west. there is a big debate going on here on capitol hill over how much the u.s. can do and how much it should do in nigeria. even as the state department this is a difficult mission and we're looking for the girls in an area roughly the size of new england. >> reporter: the u.s. government may be increasing its role in the search but secretary of state john kerr ear insists that role is a supporting one. >> the president has all options with respect to the future. we're delling with the government of another country. that's always got its diplomatic requirements. >> reporter: but some on capitol hill think the administration should be doing more. >> there's a feeling among my colleagues that we simply were

too slow. >> reporter: maine senator susan collins believes that delay may have catastrophic repercussions. >> some of them may have already been shipped across the border sold into slavery, forced into early marriages. i cannot believe that this much time has elapsed without us taking these basic steps to help. >> reporter: in an interview with "the daily beast," arizona governor john mccain took a swipe at the government's position saying he wouldn't be waiting for some kind of permission from some guide name goodluck jonathan". complicating matters, the u.s. government opposes nigeria's latest stance by working to free the girls by negotiating with boko haram. some lawmakers argue that the u.s. should have spent in special forces weeks ago to try to rescue these girls, but the administration has always said

that it is contemplating sending in boots on the ground that if military forces they will will be there in an advisory role only. >> more allegations of secret waiting lists for patient care. wyatt andrews so shows us how the same -- wyatt, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. a team of inspectors is here today to again an audit of just how long veterans are waiting for medical tests and appointments. we found a dispute between the whistleblower who says records are falsified and a hospital regulator who says there's no evidence of that. >> she's worked here for five

years. she tells us veterans have been put on secret wait lists to hide the length of time veterans wait to see their doctors. what's the scale of this? >> hospitalwide. we're talking about surgery, radiology, women's clinic. all those different areas of all the specialty, all the clinic. >> reporter: she believes top executives are encouraging the secret wait list because their bonuses are based in part on the goal of scheduling patients within 14 days. she says it's in the v.a.'s culture to earn the bonus instead of admitting there's a problem. and you think they were faking these numbers to get the bonus? >> yes. >> that's harsh. >> yes, that's reality. >> and in a statement, rickard

says some of her bonus does depend on patient access but thats only a percentage. she said she's holding back evidence of wait time for the fear that workers will be fired. >> they are scared. >> reporter: scared of what? >> retaliation. you're told from day one keep your mouth shut and do what you're supposed to do and you'll have a career in the v.a. >> reporter: and that's the disagreement that the inspection team will walk into when the audit of hynes begins today. >> thank you. google is ordered to make major changes overseas. when you do a search on a person, you know what can come back can be private or

embarrassing. >> this leads to questions about the future for all google users. welcome. >> thank you. >> what's the implications of this and could it affect those of us within the united states? >> potentially very broad. for now it's just in europe. but this ruling says that an individual can say, look i want this link to this information removed. it's basically like saying in a library can you have books that people don't like the topics but you got to take the cards out of the card catalogue. >> but this you a only -- it's potentially broader. it's like redefining the freedom of speech. on the other hand, look at the rights of searchers. you're looking at things that are actually material to you that u may not be able to find

on other people or businesses. it's potentially very serious. >> it would turn aside 25 years of search. they're saying whatever search engines have been doing for you, we're now going to limit it. >> exactly. it also oddly allows the information to sfa on the internet, it's just that you won't able to find it. it's lawful correct information, just seems to be information people don't like. >> thank you so much. it's 7:19. ahead on "cbs this morning," we'll look at headlines from around the world. records likely to be shattered all around the bay area today. it is going to be the peak of the heat and a hot one outside. out the door we go, some very mild temperatures to begin with. some places already in the 60s. clear skies to the coastline. we are going to see some record heat outside. triple digits a real possibility in many of the interior valleys by the afternoon, about 101 in livermore, 100 in concord, 96

her head. but now rover is suggesting that may have been much more serious. the white house fired back tuesday at karl rove for reportedly suggesting that hillary clinton had brain damage mocking the former bush provider's diagnosis. >> here's what i have to say about cognitive capacity, which is that dr. rove might have been the last person in america on election night to acknowledge that the president won re-election. >> reporter: according to the "new york post" at a private event rove brought up clinton's fall in 2012.

he said, 30 days in the hospital and when she appears, she's wearing glasses only for people who have a traumatic brain injury. we need know what's up with that. by tuesday morning he back tracked that. >> no, no no. i didn't say she had brain damage. said she had a serious health episode. my other point is this will be an issue in the 2016 races whether she likes it or not. >> reporter: the former secretary of state was admitted in the hospital for three days not 30 after the accident in december of 2012. later she spoke about her health on 60 minutes. >> i still have some lingering effects from falling on my head and having a blood clot but the doctors tell me that will all recede. >> reporter: tuesday her spokesman responded to rove's comment and said what he's doing is his own form of sickness. she's 100% period.

the issue could be here to stay. >> her health i'm sure would be questioned just like any other presidential candidate's would be. >> now republicans and democrats agree on one thing. they're both saying those comments were strategic basically to raise questions early on about the front-runner's health and age. gayle? >> all right. thank you, jan. >> jan make greats point. dickerson, our political director, has a piece out there raising the same question. raises questions is the best practice. democrats bragged about how maligning mitt romney early on was good and dickerson points out that raising issues about health and age is a standard operating procedure in campaigns and in modern history it's been used chiefly by democrats. >> that's what rush limbaugh said. he is walking back brain damage but he thinks she suffered some kind of catastrophic injury when she fell and we know she fell. >> he's trying to mend his

knock-offs to unsuspecting customers. >> this is just an example of some of the things we sell. >> his company makes this kitchenware. it's sold by retailers nationwide but in kreresent years saids some items who bought his products did not receive his products. >> this purchase when they purchased it, this is what they received in the mail. difficult to transport with water. it falls apart. >> reporter: he said when customers receive knock-offs, it hurts his brand. >> we've had consumers right wree views and we get the product back from consumers and we know it's not our product. >> we've talked with dozens of manufacturing clients who are dealing with three key issues counterfeit, used being sold as new and what we'll generally call consumer goods. >> reporter: he says this is about more than just one company and more than just kitchenwares.

>> we have medicines for example who are expired or tampered with. >> reporter: he says part of the problem is that amazon allows many different companies to sell a brand's product, so if a counterfeiter lists an item on amazon's website, the safety checks in place aren't always strong enough to stop them from selling knock-offs to a customer, but messer says even customers who buy directly from amazon are at risk of receiving fake goods. that's because counterfeiters are sending knock-offs to amazon amazon's warehouses where they can be mixed in with real product. amazon would not give us an interview for this story but provide add statement. it reads we are constantly innovating to improve the ways we detect and prevent counter fit products from reaching our marketplace. we work hard on this issue every day. amazon says by mixing shipments, it can get items to commerce

faster and reduce labeling requirements for sellers. they do offer refunds for products that aren't as advertised. >> vinita thank you. two children are hospitalized this morning recovering from serious injuries after an inflatable toy they were playing blew away into the sky. police say a strong gust of wind swept a bounce house up to 50 feet high monday afternoon outside albany nonch two boys ages ages 5 and 6 fell out when they were 15 feet up. one landed on the asphalt. another hit the car. >> he hit his head on the back of my car and landed where that little spot is and the bouncy house kept going and cleared my apartment and the trees. >> the 10-year-old girl was near the bounce house but fell out just before it took off. i hope those kids are going to be okay. i didn't even know that could happen, you know the way they play in those bouncy houses. >> as someone who has used bouncy houses and inflatable things, they have huge harnesses

that they can stake into the ground. it's very serious because they can be lifted up. >> now you can say you've been warned. >> yeah. jackie kennedy in her own words. her own words on her faith, marriage, and the loss of her husband ahead. what she wrote in dozens of letters never seen by the public. i'm fascinated by these. i've been reading them. we'll show you. you're watching "cbs this morning." when folks think about what they get from alaska, they think salmon and energy. but the energy bp produces up here creates something else as well: jobs all over america. engineering and innovation jobs. advanced safety systems & technology. shipping and manufacturing. across the united states bp supports more than a quarter million jobs. when we set up operation in one part of the country people in other parts go to work. that's not a coincidence. it's one more part of our commitment to america.

is already fueling public anger and that's been exacerbated this morning by reports that one of the dead miners was only 15 years old. norah? >> all right holly, thank you. magic johnson says he feels sorry for donald sterling. but this had morning the nba hall of famer is also waiting for an apology n. a cnn interview the l.a. clippers owner says the racist remarks that got him suspended was a mistake but he called johnson a poor role model who doesn't help other african-americans. johnson told anderson coop they're sterling has no reason to criticize him. >> he is a man who we would think would be educated and a man who is smart enough to build this type of wealth and own a team and has an incredible platt the form to change the world. instead, he's doing it in a negative way. it's a shame donald use this had platform with you to, instead of coming out, apologizing 0 to the world -- which would have been

great -- and said you know what, i'm sorry i made some mistakes. and just left it there. magic jon magic johnson shouldn't have been included in your conversation because i have nothing to do with this. >> johnson says sterling should just sell the clippers and ernnjoy the rest of his life. >> magic jonhnson was so gracious when he was talking and said basically he's now praying for him, that donald sterling is living in the world according to donald. interesting take. >> sterling's other critics say the billionaire owner should never have gone on television to make amends. chip reid good morning. >> reporter: broadcasting their mea culpas is a time honored tradition for those in the middle of controversy. and while a well orchestrated "i'm sorry" can go a long way to winning forgiveness, a poorly executed one will make a bad situation much worse. >> i made a terrible terrible mistake. >> reporter: if donald sterling thought his interview with cnn

would assure the world he wasn't a racist he may have been mistaken. >> jews, when they get successful, they will help their people. and some of the after african-americans, maybe i'll get in trouble again, they don't want to help anybody. >> reporter: cbs news contributor frank luntz, a communications strategist says sterling's attempt at an apology was of the worst he'd ever seen. >> he tries to explain that he's not a racist, but he uses racial language. it doesn't make sense. >> reporter: public figures seeking forgiveness, according to luntz, are with best served by apologies delivered straight it to the camera so that viewers can see the sincerity in their eyes. >> i am responsible. and if i want to find the person who should be held accountable for my sins honestly i don't have to go any further than the mirror. it's me. it is me and me alone. >> reporter: paula deen tried that tactic last year after a former employee accused her of

brought him on "the late show" to apologize. >> said some pretty nasty things to some afro-americans a lot of trash talk -- >> stop laughing. it's not funny. >> michael richards didn't do his ray polling that well. over time he was forgiven. it can be the destruction of a career. the consequences of getting it right, you get permission to continue. >> reporter: luntz says that for an apology to be effective it's not enough to admit mistakes and take ownership of the offense. the person apologizing must also make some sort of personal sacrifice to earn forgiveness, an element that was clearly lacking in donald sterling's interview monday night. gayle? >> i know donald sterling really did insert mouth and start sucking on his toes and no matter how -- what he does, everything he says just makes it worse. you forget that there was even an apology in there. >> i know. >> it's just -- >> it's just what? >> the visual idea of that.
