7:01 am
the algerian frontier where the crew was asked to make a detour because of poor visibility. >> at a certain point you wondered if he was ever going to die. >> a convicted killer in arizona took nearly two hours to die following a lethal injection. >> he smiled and laughed at it and went to sleep. so all you people who think these drugs are bad, to hell with you guys. >> last night the faa lifted its ban on u.s. flights to tel aviv's airport. >> there's no better place in the world for protecting people. >> a tornado touching down in virginia. this is in the norfolk area. there are reports of injuries on the scene. >> a tragic and moving scene in the netherlands. thousands of people paying tribute to the victims of flight 17. >> investigators say the plane's black boxes appear to have suffered some damage. they don't show any signs of being tampered with. frightening moments in colorado as a man with gun leads police on a wild chase. >> he ran out into the highway trying to stop traffic with his rifle before cops finally
7:02 am
cornered him. >> he stole cars where people were in it. >> millions of americans could be stranded overseas for a while because of a problem with the state department's computers. >> the guest of honor bangs the gavel. >> the man does not know his own strength. >> all that -- >> dangerous conditions at yankee stadium and the grounds crew is having an awful time just a mess. this does not look good. >> you've got to stir it quickly. >> oh, no, what do you do now? >> -- and all that matters -- >> i think the state department is just overreacting in typical bureaucratic fashion. >> political reasons for that? >> why would you think that wolf? >> i'm asking you. >> don't be ridiculous. just the allegation against our government i personally take as an offense. >> -- on "cbs this morning." >> it's just a very quiet summer except for my recent emmy nomination. what's new with you? >> i think i have low t.
7:03 am
this morning's "eye opener" is presented by a.toyota. let's go places. welcome to "cbs this morning." as you wake up in the west we're following the third commercial air disaster in a week. this morning a jetliner with 116 people on board has crashed. >> al algerie flight 5017 disappeared over northern mali. debora patta is following this. >> reporter: the flight went missing late last night en route to algiers in algeria, north africa. now all contact was lost with the plane about an hour after takeoff. they were 116 people on board, many of them french nationals, and the six member crew were all
7:04 am
spanish. just before contact was lost the pilot of the plane requested permission from aviation authorities to change routes due to a storm in the area. the plane was flying over mali at the time. we also know from federal aviation authorities that planes were warned not to fly over mali due to insurgent fighting in that area. an algerian air official has confirmed that the plane crashed, but there are conflicting reports as to where. some citing niger, the other saying in an area in mali. two french fighter jets have been dispatched to look for the plane. >> thanks. turning home arizona's governor is ordering an investigation this morning after the botched execution of a murderer. it took joseph rudolph wood nearly two hours to die after a lethal injection was delivered. the process normally takes 10 to 15 minutes. jan crawford is in washington with the newest controversy adding to the debate over capital punishment. jan, good morning. >> reporter: well, good morning,
7:05 am
charlie. this is now the third execution that's gone awry in six months. now, there's no question that these convicted killers committed their crimes but the uptick in so-called botched executions has really only heightened the scrutiny surrounding death by lethal injection. joseph wood received an experimental combination of drugs shortly before 2:00 p.m. it took one hour and 57 minutes for the 55-year-old to die. witnesses inside the chamber describe seeing him gasp more than 600 times. >> to watch a man lay there for an hour and 40 minutes gulping air, i can liken it to if you catch a fish and t it on the shore. >> reporter: 25 years ago wood shot and killed his ex-girlfriend and her father. debra's brother-in-law richard brown, witnessed her murder. >> this man i mean conducted a horrifying murder and you guys are going, oh let's worry about the drug and how he's affected. why didn't we give him a bullet? why didn't we give him some
7:06 am
drano? >> the execution is the latest in a series to come under fire. the lethal drugs typically used has forced states to experiment with different combinations. in january we watched dennis mcguire struggle to breathe for 25 minutes. in april, clayton lockett's execution took 43 minutes. he ultimately died of a heart attack after officials stopped the procedure. an hour into wednesday's execution, wood's attorneys filed an emergency motion writing he's still alive, asking the courts to call it off saying it was cruel and unusual punishment. the family of debra and gene dietz have no sympathy. >> he smiled and laughed at us and then went to sleep. so all you people that think these drugs are bad, well to hell with you guys. >> reporter: state officials said that wood was sedated the entire time and did not suffer but they're going to be reviewing the procedure as the pother states with botched
7:07 am
executions are doing but so far the supreme court has given the states leeway to come up with the drug protocols. the faa says it is now safe to fly into israel but hours after the ban was lifted on u.s. commercial flights, tel aviv faced a new barrage of rocket fire this morning. the iron dome system intercepted many of those rockets. violence also flared up in gaza where a hospital was targeted. don dahler is at ben gurion airport in tel aviv where air traffic could return to normal today. >> reporter: good morning. yes, ben gurion airport is definitely busier today than yesterday despite the fact the rockets were fired at the airport as well as downtown tel aviv just a few hours ago. we heard those rockets intercepted overhead by israel's pair defense system the iron dome, and israel would point to those successful interceptions as the reasons why the ban should never of been leveled on flights here. that ban was lifted last night around midnight and now it's at the discretion of the airlines as to whether they feel it's safe to fly here.
7:08 am
it's not clear when and how many u.s. carriers will resume flying to israel. normally 400 to 500 flights arrive and depart from ben gurion airport. yesterday there was only 200 with roughly half the number of passengers as on a typical day. 25 airlines cancelled flights to tel aviv. the ban angered many israelis who say the unguided rocket that destroyed this home near the airport was just a lucky shot but hamas declared the faa's decision to ban u.s. flights a victory. israel's former head of military intelligence agrees. >> unfortunately i think it's a victory, but as i always emphasize, it's not a big victory. we can deal with it. to tell you the truth, i was surprised that they haven't done it before. >> reporter: overnight in gaza israel's air and ground assault on hamas continued unabated. the idf shelled a hospital east of gaza city it says was being used as a rocket-launching site and base by militant fighters.
7:09 am
over 700 people have died in gaza since the war began. thousands have been injured. the u.n. says most of the casualties are children. parts of gaza have been pounded into rubble. as israel laid to rest one of its soldiers killed since the ground operation began july 17th three more soldiers were killed overnight. israel has lost 32 soldiers and three civilians in the fighting and from rocket attacks. before he left secretary of state kerry said he feels that a cease-fire is close, but both israel and hamas say not until their goals are met. charlie. >> don thanks. now to flight 17. for the second day the remains of more victims arrive in the netherlands this morning. in amsterdam thousands took part wednesday in a silent march. they paid tribute and released balloons. it was one of many somber remembrances. elizabeth palmer is in the schiphol airport.
7:10 am
good morning. >> reporter: good morning. well, it's been a week now exactly since mh-17 went down and this pile of flowers outside schiphol airport just continues to grow. it now stretches clear across the front of the departures terminal and people are still coming this morning to lay bouquets. meanwhile the dutch are relieved to see the bodies coming back to the netherlands, especially after the confusion and indignity at the crash site but of course that process has only just begun. the 51 bodies expected today will be flown to the military air field at einhoven. the same place 40 coffins were unloaded yesterday by a detail of dutch military personnel and one by one carried to waiting hearses in an austere and dignified ceremony. the national flags of all the victims flew at half staff while a group of dutch dignitaries looked on including the netherlands king willem and queen maxima. hundreds of family members also watching were kept out of sight
7:11 am
to protect their privacy. there's no way of knowing who lies in these caskets until forensic teams have done dna testing. so some decided not to attend. kevin fan lost three members of his family. >> that's my mother. >> reporter: not only his mother but his father and grandmother as well and he has no idea when he'll get them back. >> i'm trying not to think about it. actually the body is only the outside and i know their souls are here their spirits are here, and it's enough for me. >> reporter: outside the family's restaurant friends and customers pause to pay their respects. just as vast crowds lined the roads yesterday, a national day of mourning. and a nation used to keeping its emotions buttoned up turned out in a very public display of grief and respect. the dutch investigators have warned that human remains are still at the crash site so it's
7:12 am
possible this process may go on for weeks or even months yet. >> elizabeth, thanks. australia announced it plans to send 50 police officers to ukraine to help secure the flight 17 crash site but the violence does not appear to be easing there. mark phillips is at the scene. mark good morning. >> reporter: good morning. well some investigators are. the full international investigation that's supposed to be taking place here has not yet begun and the safety of the investigators is cited as the reason. if anything, though the security around here is getting worse. the separatist rebels say this is a ukrainian jet fighter shot down yesterday not far from the malaysian air crash site. ukrainian government in kiev says the russians did it. moscow denies the charge. whatever happened, the deteriorating security situation in the region around the crash has kept the waiting team of international aviation experts away. only three brave malaysians are here. and what they're finding is
7:13 am
evidence to support the view that a surface-to-air missile brought this plane down. much of the wreckage shows signs of having been hit by shrapnel most likely from an exploding warhead. these look to be perhaps shrapnel exit wounds on the fuselage. the shrapnel having passed through the body of the plane and possibly out through there. there are several parts like this around. and here big pieces, big holes penetrating from the outside in. and this is what's left of the cockpit and the metal work again, penetrating holes. the european security monitoring team here agrees. osce spokesman michael bociurkiw. >> we report that some of the materials we saw and have photographed feature significant puncture marks to the fuselage almost a piercing mark. >> reporter: and finally today,
7:14 am
at the main crash site which is a couple of miles from here a team under the supervision of the international red cross has begun to look for the body parts of the victims that we know still remain on the site. this time they say in a dignified manner. charlie. >> mark, thanks. in an interview last night from our pbs program, i spoke with former defense secretary robert gates and asked him whether the white house response to current international crises are perceived as weak. >> my worry whether it's ukraine or whether it's the middle east is that our focus is so much on a short-term solution that we're not thinking about what are the long-term -- what is the long-term potential in terms of trying to prevent a recurrence of these kinds of events as we look ahead. >> are any of these events happening because there was, as some of the republican critics would like to suggest, a perception of weakness on the part of the president? >> i personally do not believe that. i think that there is a
7:15 am
perception around the world of the u.s. disengaging. i know that the administration makes the case of its diplomatic involvement and how busy it is how involved it is around the world, but look the reality is withdrawing from or disengaging from two wars both of which end without a clear-cut victory, is a tricky business to avoid giving the impression you're disengaging from the rest of the world. >> gates says one way to reverse the perception is to halt cuts to the defense budget. a tornado ripped through a family camp resort in virginia this morning. it happened in cape charles along virginia's eastern shore. the force was strong enough to knock a semi truck on its side. hail also fell. there is no word yet this morning of injuries. congress has taken new action to solve the immigration crisis. republicans in the house and democrats in the senate are pushing new plans to deal with the influx of children from central america. nancy cordes is on capitol hill.
7:16 am
nancy, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. the fact that the two sides have now released their plans to address this crisis in the southwest is progress but there's still about $1.2 billion apart. when the president's original request was $4 billion, that's a big gap. on some things, the two sides agree. they both want to hire at least 40 more immigration judges and they both want to crack down on central american gangs. >> we need more law enforcement and the help of the united states going after the real bums and scum which is these drug dealers that recruit these children. >> reporter: but that is where the similarities end. democrats want to spend $2.7 billion, republicans want to spend $1.5. >> the president is asking for a blank check. he wants us to just throw more money at the problem without doing anything to solve the problem. >> reporter: republicans want to deploy the national guard, democrats don't. >> why send national guard to the border?
7:17 am
these kids aren't sneaking across the border they're coming and turning themselves in to the first person they see. >> reporter: republicans want each child to get a deportation hearing within seven days of their arrival. democrats, like california's javier bocera say that's not enough time. >> they're talking about speeding up the process by eliminating a child's rights under the law. that's not distinguish. >> reporter: republicans say they won't agree to any new funding without changes to a 2008 law requiring every unaccompanied minor from central america to get an asylum hearing. republican diaz balart says they should be allowed to go home without a hearing if they choose like many mexican children do. >> the status quo i think is not serving our national security interests. it issin insin sent viezing folks to put inin harm's way. >> reporter: the two sides only have about a week and a half to work out all of these differences before they leave for a month for august recess. charlie.
7:18 am
>> nancy thanks. a wild crime spree is over this morning in colorado. rick sallinger shows us the long day of drama. >> reporter: armed with a handgun and a rifle, this man set off on a wild hour's-long crime spree that played out wednesday afternoon 15 miles west of denver. >> he went to homes where people are home he stole cars where people were in it. a very very dangerous situation. >> reporter: deputies pulled over the man and his female accomplice in what they said was a stolen car. but the pair drove off, and within the hour they had carjacked somebody. they split up and she was arrested. but the man was able to stay one step ahead of the deputies winding around a wooded area in the foothills west of denver. the suspect made his way to a highway department yard and tried to steal a pair of dump trucks. but apparently the keys weren't inside, so he moved on. next he barged into a home and got behind the wheel of a silver
7:19 am
suv, then crashed through a closed garage door. but he soon ran into trouble with this newest getaway vehicle. clearly stuck, he made his way once again on foot to the nearby interstate. still armed, his new strategy flag down cars on the highway. one vehicle slowed down as a sheriff's deputy and a motorcycle drove past the man with gun drawn and ordered him to surrender. cornered, the man walks backwards into traffic. he was eventually wrestled to the ground with a little help from a driver. shirtless, collared and in a load of trouble with the law. for "cbs this morning," rick sallinger, denver. and it is 7:19. ahead, the first major study high pressure now building in. temperatures going to soar getting hot in some parts of the bay area. out the door right now, a couple of patches of fog earl
