interior minister reported ukrainian forces have lost no troops, but we've heard gunfire and explosions overnight and this morning suggesting this fight isn't over yet. the bodies of separatist fighters arrived at the morgue this morning following gun battles that stretched throughout the day and into the night. separatist leader told us ukraine's new leadership is to blame for the bloodshed and vowed to strike back with equal force. the battle for control of this city's airport is the most high-profile attack pro-russian separatists have launched here so far and it was met with ukraine's biggest and most rapid response in months of fighting unleashing a series of air strikes, heavy weapons and a paratrooper assault. we watched aselicopter gunships scraped the woods where pro-russian gunmen had taken up positions. people scrambled for cover as the fighters fired back in every direction.

7:12 am
veterans groups. you clearly represent the worst of politics in this country, wrote the paralyzed veterans of america. your allegations are ugly and mean-spirited in every sense of the words, wrote the vfw. their fury stemmed from an open letter to veterans north carolina senator richard burr released on friday the start of memorial day weekend. in it he argued that groups like theirs were more interested in defending the status quo within va than in protecting the veterans they represent. >> what we've got is we've got a situation where nobody is looking at the realities. >> reporter: burr was angry that at a recent hearing about alleged secret waiting lists and delays at the va only one veterans group, the american legion, called for the resignation of va secretary eric shinseki. the rest pledged their support. >> secretary shinseki is dedicated to america's veterans more than ever. >> we fully stand behind secretary shinseki. >> reporter: burr says he stands
7:13 am
by his criticism of those groups despite the heat he's getting now, telling cbs news the reaction seems to prove my point. they are far more outraged by my words than they have been thus far by any of the unfolding va scandal or secretary shinseki's mismanagement of the agency. >> it became personal because of the timing of the letter. >> reporter: sherman gilums jr. says burr's letter struck a nerve. >> we're used to the politics. what we're not used to is for someone to define our motivations and reflect to the public in this sort of passive-aggressive way. he's writing the veterans but he's talking about veterans. we're all veterans at the end of the day. >> reporter: senator burr argues these groups are simply trying to curry favor with the va's top brass. they say it's naive to think that replacing one secretary will fix the problems at the va which they argue, anthony has been underfunded for years by
7:14 am
congress. >> nancy, thanks. president obama acknowledged the veterans hospital scandal as he honored the nation's fallen heroes. the president laid a wreath at the tomb of the unknown soldier during a memorial day ceremony at arlington national cemetery. he said the va controversy must be resolved. >> as we've been reminded in recent days we must do more to keep faith with our veterans and their families and ensure that they get the care and benefits and opportunities that they have earned and that they deserve. these americans have done their duty. they ask nothing more than that our country does ours now and for decades to come. >> the president assigned deputy chief of staff rob nabors to lead the white house investigation. the head of nigeria's armed forces says this morning that he knows where an islamist terror group is holding hundreds of kidnapped school girls, but he also warns a rescue attempt could get the hostages killed. as debora patta reports,
7:15 am
officials are trying to defend their efforts against boko haram. >> reporter: good morning. the nigerian military has come under harsh criticism for its failure to rescue the over 200 girls. it's been six weeks now since they were kidnapped from their school where they were preparing to write their final exams. speaking off the cuff the country's chief of defense alex badeh told a crowd of demonstrators gathered to support the beleaguered military that they had located the girls. >> the good news is for the girls is we know where they are but cannot tell you. we cannot tell you. just leave us alone, we are working. we will get the girls back. >> reporter: but he warned that the use of force was a risk to the girls' lives. >> so nobody should come and say the nigerian military does not know what it is doing. we know what we are doing. we can't go and kill our girls in the effort to get them back. >> reporter: boko haram has stepped up its campaign of violence since the abductions.
7:16 am
in this past week alone, at least 200 people have been killed. in an interview last week charlie rose asked defense secretary chuck hagel if the u.s. would go and get the girls once their location had been established. >> we would go get them? >> we would do everything we could, as president obama has said, to facilitate helping the nigerians, as we are helping them locate them and then figuring out what's the quickest easiest, fastest way, lowest risk to get them out. >> reporter: if the nigerian military rules are forced then the only real option left is negotiations. but a source close to the secret talks between government and boko haram has told cbs news that there was a deal reached over the weekend to swap the girls for boko haram prisoners, but that this was stopped at the last minute by president goodluck jonathan. for cbs this morning. i'm debora patta, in capetown south africa. this morning a major figure in the computer hacking group anonymous faces the possibility of spending more than 25 years

7:18 am
about how much he hated the government and how much he hated the fbi while he was actively working for the fbi. engaging online chats and helping to get more information about these hackers that they wanted to bring down. >> what was this group really all about? >> they said they were doing it for fun but they did get strong political leanings toward the end, attacking the fbi and cia, they attacked the senate website. they also attacked fox.com because of x factor and fun stuff like that. they also sent an e-mail to the british health society telling them they had a security vulnerability and telling them how to fix it. saying we don't want to attack you, we just want to help. >> the government is now saying his help has helped them disrupt as many as 300 cyber attacks? >> he was very helpful in bringing people to justice and preventing hacks and helping to fix websites and fix government agencies to prevent other hacks. he's been very helpful and they're trying to make the case he deserves a light sentence. >> what the government needs is someone to help with this expertise and inside knowledge.
7:19 am
>> there are plenty of hackers out there who were accused and spent time in jail and are now helping the government and other agencies be more secure. these are the guys who know these systems the best and they know the best way to secure them. >> tim stevens, thank you so much. >> thank you. it's 7:19. ahead on "cbs this morning" new revelations from hillary clinton about her new memoir and one thing she says you we're going to see mostly sunny skies but the winds will be picking up and that is going to help to cool down the temperatures. overlooking our mount vaca cam plenty of blue signs inland today. still some patchy fog coast tan lal inland. continues to increase as we head towards the afternoon along the coastline. highs will be in the 70s and 80s well inland a lot of 70s inside the bay and 60s along the coastline. next couple of days maybe a little bit warmer and cooling down for the weekend. this national weather report sponsored by claritin the number one doctor recommended

7:28 am
good morning, we still have the traffic alert in caster valley. or through the wide. it's really stacking up because of an accident and a big rig lost its load of construction equipment on northbound 238 approaching the east 14th street exit. you can see the delays beyond the caster valley wide now. in those westbound lanes. also remains really heavy on southbound 680 from pleasanton into the sue normal grade because of an earlier accident approaching highway 84 and the bay bridge the metering lights have been on now since 5:45 and they switched them on on the earlier side. things backed up quickly on the approaches, westbound 580 probably the worst approach jammed to 24. here's lawrence. winds picking up around the bay area going to be blustery in spots already seeing some of the gusts over 30 miles per hour. little hazy in the atmosphere. high pressure will move eastward now and that low squeezing in that will help to cool down the temperatures. 70s and 80s inland today and 70s inside the bay and 60s along the coastline. looks like even cooler for the weekend.

the obama administration will unveil a new climate proposal aimed and reducing carbon emissions. it would be flexible to help through cap and trade. coal burning power plants contribute to one-third of emissions emissions. last month, the government accountability office found the military's inventory system is outdated. they plan to destroy $1 billion worth of emissions though some are still usable.

7:34 am
decide on forcing a sale. ricky is here. good morning. >> good morning. >> what's at stake today? >> well today, in answering the allegations, he did what most lawyers would say to do. i didn't say it. i didn't cover it up. i didn't try to influence a witness. if he goes that way, he's going to dig himself in deeper. however, he would be smart or his lawyers would be wise to advise him, he needs to stake his intentions. is he going to go forward, move the team to his wife as is reported and get this team sold now? >> what do you make of the strategy that he is going to give it to shelly sterling his wire, she will okay the sale and they will move forward. >> moving forward and playing in the same sand box is a good idea. perhaps that way they can get agreement with the nba and adam silver about how to do this.
7:35 am
however, if he thinks just by shifting it to his wife who says well, i'm a minority interest holder i'm someone who is really not the same as donald sterling. if that's going to please the nba, they are wrong. ultimately, the name sterling is a name that the nba wants out of here. and out of here now. >> shelly sterling has taken inquiries from six potential buyers. is the nba going to let her control this sale? >> i would say the nba doesn't want her to control the sale but the nba doesn't want litigation either. if the nba can reach some kind of agreement with her that would have some binding authority to get this sold now, it would be very odd if you could get a team sold between today, may 27th and the time of this hearing on june 3. that's really fast. however, stranger things have happened. if she thinks she can wait for
7:36 am
the time that is right for her to get the money she wants to get, the nba is not going to allow that. so they really have to move very, very quickly. this is complex negotiation. >> at the same time they want a good price. >> yes they do. that's one of the things in everyone's favor. the nba want as good price because it sets the comparative value for all other teams. so, they don't want to force a sale that would push the price down. remember this, too. this is los angeles. this is hollywood. people want to buy this team. people all over the country like owning a sports franchise. i say, particularly in los angeles. let's not forget about the dodgers. frank mccourt was forced out of there. people said it would be a fire sale price. hardly. it went up up up and ultimately, the dodgers are doing very well. >> we are all watching. >> yes, we are. we'll see what happens the next time, june 3.

7:39 am
they let it go off in a dignified manner. the only ones not applauding are representatives of abuse victims. a nice bit of symbolism that is utterly meaningless. >> thank you, alan. this is fascinating to see what the pope did in israel. then, you know he spoke with reporters, again, on the back of the plane. add allen pointed out, three bishops are under investigation for sexual abuse. he's going to meet with victims next month. there's confusion on when it might happen. he also opened the door to other future popes suggesting he could also resign rather than die in office like benedict did. >> just the fact he's speaking out on issues most have been shying away from is nice to see. he's a different kind of man. >> long time coming. >> all right. ahead, what are the chances that gambling is good for presidential politics?

8:04 am
at the socioeconomic status of them and correlated that to cancer. well, across the board the cancer incidence is about the same. with but for 32 of the cancers there's a difference where some may be more prevalent in the poor and others in the richer community. it goes to behavior. it's not the that the environment causes cancer but it's the behavior of the people based on your socioeconomic status status. and it's something we need to pay attention to going forward. >> like what types of behavior, dr. agus compared to one community to the other? >> well if you look for example, in the lower socioeconomic status the poorer individuals, there's more cancers associated with certain viruses, hpv, hepatitis virus, more smoking. those cancers classically are more aggressive and deadly. you can see in the liver cancer graphic that we'll put up a much higher death rate where as in the richer communities a the lot of cancers that have it to do with oversurveillance that is we catch cancers that don't necessarily need to be treated. that's akin to to thyroid cancer
8:05 am
where many of those thyroid cancers will never cause a problem problem. so the difference between them. and in the richer communities there's a lot more screening. they catch colon cancer earlier because they have more colonoscopies and less in the poorer communities. >> so what does this data tell s in terms of treatment or teach us? >> it's a piece to the puzzle and we've done a number of the stories over the last year where there are certain correlation ss and each of them are a small piece. together the bigger picture, we can start to based on where you live based on your behavior, start to do a profile of prevention for you, whether increasing vaccination rates in an area or looking for 0 certain cancers, personalize how we do prevention. and this is some of the data that can help us start to do that. when we as a doctor see a patient we never look at socioeconomic status. now, while it's still controversial whether to look at it, we know it core relates to some cancers, and we have to pay
8:06 am
attention to it. >> do we need to do more in poorer communities? >> no question about it. many of these are preventible with vaccines, so we need to get the vaccine in there for 0 the hepatitis. we need to treat the hepatitis "c," the hpv vaccination in kids. we can eliminate a lot of these cancers. the so the key to cancer is prevention. >> all right, dr. david agus good information. thank you. and the white house says it's getting geeked out this morning. president obama is hosting the fourth annual white house science fair. this year the spotlight is on girls and women excelling in science, technology engineering and math or stem. the administration is recognizing 100 award winning students from 30 states and nancy cordes got the first look at some of their work. this is 0 our motion sensor and it detects rising water. and when it detects rising water these two bridge pieces raise up up. >> reporter: they call themselves the leg leg queps. this girl scout troop from
