7:03 am
the fbi is invifrt get aing the death of a black man in mississippi found dead hanging from a tree. law enforcement agencies are trying to determine whether it was a hate crime. the justice department civil rights division is involved in the investigation. >> the mystery is unfolding in a small mississippi town. >> reporter: good morning. it's been 24 hours now since the body of that still unidentified man was found hanging from a tree with a bed sheet. and while federal authorities are now involved in this investigation, the local sheriff is waiting for the state crime lab to perform an autopsy, and urging people to avoid jumping to conclusions. >> i can speculate, speculation ain't no good. >> reporter: the investigation into a dead body discovered in a mississippi river town centers around exactly who was found deep in the woods, hanging from one of the areas pecan and black walnut trees. marvin lucas is the sheriff of claiborne county. >> anytime a person is hanged
7:04 am
from the tree either two things happened. either someone hung him or he hung himself. >> reporter: sheriff lucas asked the state crime lab to identify the body because it had begun to decompose, but the mississippi chapter of the naacp says it is 54 yard otis byrd and they're calling on the feds to determine whether or not his death is the result of a hate crime. the body was hanging from a tree some 500 yards behind johnny baker's home. >> they said the guy was missing about two weeks and they found him down in your woods down there. >> reporter: byrd was reported missing by his family on march 8th, and state investigators got involved march 13th. he's an ex-con paroled in 2006 after spending nearly 30 years behind bars for murder. a search and rescue team found the body while combing the woods near byrd's family house on thursday. >> i know that was the last place he was seen. at his home. he didn't have any
7:05 am
transportation. no one told me that they took him anywhere. so -- i'm not the sharpest knife in the drawer but i knew something had probably happened near that home. >> reporter: byrd's family is asking for help, while they wait for answers. >> just come up and say something. please, for the closure of this family. just come and say something. >> reporter: the results of the autopsy are expected early next week. >> manuel thank you very much this morning. virginia lawmakers asking if liquor agents should have the power to make arrests the officers' bloody takedown of a uva student is sparking outrage. 209-year-old spoke through this attorney yesterday. wyatt andrews on the university of virginia campus in charlottesville where the state investigation continues. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. uva student martese johns han told his story for the first time saying he was more surprised than anyone to find himself face down and in
7:06 am
handcuffs. this came in the form of a statement read by his attorney daniel watkins. >> i trust that the scars on my face and head will one day heal but the trauma from what the abc officers did yesterday will stay with me forever. >> i go to uva. i go to uva. >> reporter: the violent and bloody takedown happened early wednesday just after agents from the virginia department of alcoholic beverage control questioned johnson about a possible fake i.d. but according to his attorney johnson's i.d. was valid. i.d. enforcement is commonplace at bars near colleges. the question is -- >> how does this happen? >> reporter: how did this encounter escalate? in the arrest report the agents describe johnson as agitated and belligerent but did not accuse him of using force against them. johnson's mother expressed disgust in an interview on the radio. >> i think he was treated like an animal, his face pushed into the ground and to hear him
7:07 am
screaming, nobody there to help him. >> shut it down. >> reporter: to most uva students who demonstrated in a second day of protests nothing johnson did could justify the agent's reaction. >> is there any chance martese bears some responsibility? >> i don't think so. unless it's his responsibility of being black in america. >> i don't know if there's anything you can do that makes being thrown to the ground and having your head gashed open acceptable. >> reporter: later today alcohol control officials will be here facing student questions at a forum organized by the student council to clear the air, but the arrest of martese johns han led to growing and bipartisan calls in the virginia legislature to reform or even eliminate the police powers granted to the alcohol agency. >> white, thanks. tensions are also high this morning in philadelphia after a community meeting with police. [ chanting ]
7:08 am

7:09 am
tonight into early tomorrow morning. then another round late saturday into sunday. >> matt, thanks. this morning japanese police have a suspect in custody who may be linked to death threats against ambassador caroline kennedy and accused of making threats against the embassy. okinawa is home to thousands of american troops. the arrest came as first lady michelle obama wrapped up a visit to japan. and the rip between president obama and prime minister netanyahu appears to be hardening. netanyahu tried to walk back his campaign vow to oppose a two state. major garrett is with us. >> reporter: president obama told netanyahu he wasn't buying his retraction and will seek new ways to achieve a two-state solution with the palestinians. top officials told us it will be
7:10 am
netanyahu's actions not his words that will signal if he's serious about peace. in an interview thursday the israeli prime minister said he did not retract a 2009 commitment to pursue the negotiated creation of a separate palestinian state. even though he said precisely that during the heat of his re-election campaign. >> i haven't changed my policy. i never retracted my speech from the university six years ago calling for a demille tarrize palestinian state that recognizes the jewish state. i don't want a one-state solution. i want a sustainable, peaceful two-state solution but for that circumstances have to change. >> reporter: top white house advisers say netanyahu played politics with the peace process. the administration is now considering allowing the united nations security council to vote to recognize a palestinian state. >> words matter. and that is certainly true in this instance. it does prompt the administration and policymakers here to re-evaluate our
7:11 am
thinking. >> reporter: the white house also faulted netanyahu's election day complaint designed to drive up right-wing jewish turnout, that droves of israeli arabs were being bussed to the polls. >> that cynicing election day tactic was a pretty transparent effort to marginalize arab israeli citizens and their right to participate in their democracy. >> florida republican senator marco rubio, a likely presidential candidate criticized the white house for picking public fights with netanyahu. >> this is outrageous it is irresponsible and dangerous, and it betrays the commitment this nation made to the right of a jewish state to exist in peace. >> reporter: the white house will watch closely as netanyahu builds his coalition government to see if it will contain any elements of israeli politics open to a two-state solution. officials here expect netanyahu's coalition partners will hold him to his campaign rhetoric and not embrace post-election efforts to retract it. >> thank you major garrett.
7:12 am
the white house pledges close cooperation with tunisia after the toifrt massacre at a museum. isis is claiming responsibility for the terror attack that killed more than 20 people. alan pizzi is outside allen pizzey is outside the ma seim. >> reporter: good morning. far-reaching and how long-term the aftermath of the attack will be, be patient with searches and checkpoints instituted nationwide, says the government. isis claimed responsibility for the museum carnage, but analysts suggest it was more likely the gunmen were inspired rather than directed by isis or other fundamentalist groups. several thousand young tunisians are thought to be fighting with isis and there are fears they may come home armed with skills and ideologist. this man says it's a very dangerous situation. do you think tunisia will have
7:13 am
to change the way it's combating terrorism and fundamentalism? >> i think we need a real strat jishgs national strategy based on developing our security system. >> reporter: tunisian officials acknowledged their security system needs overhauled. a point underscored by the funeral of one of the two guards killed in the attack. tunisian minister derides attackers as ignorant. they are targeting science, knowledge, season they are targeting history, she syd. they are targeting memory because all of these things mean nothing in their eyes. in the meantime tunisians are fighting back by simply getting on with their lives but the danger can be everywhere. a senior government official told local media that two gunmen left the country illegally last december for weapons training in libya. >> allen pizzey in tunisia, thanks. following breaking news in
7:14 am
yemen. suicide bomb attacks on a pair of mosques killed at least 46 people and injured 100 others in the capital city of sanaa. supporters of isis are claiming responsibility here. that claim cannot be confirmed. it would represent the group's first major attack in yemen. the bomber struck during midday prayer. the most crowded time of the week. this morning president obama says iran should not miss what he calls the historic opportunity for a nuclear deal. he took his message directly to the iranian people in a video marking the persian new year. he is hoping iranians will push hard-liners to accept a deal. negotiators in switzerland are struggling on aagreement. margaret bren sn at the talks in la zahn. market gorn. >> reporter: good morning. talks are getting testy. iran's foreign minister said today they are ready for a deal. it is up to the u.s. to make a decision. now, both sides have made some concessions under the deal that is emerging. iran would give up about 40% of
7:15 am
its centrifuges, that's hardware that could be used to make an atomic bomb, cutting hem from 10,000 down to 6,000. in exchange the u.s. and europe would lift some economic sanctions on iran much sooner than they planned to and the length of consideration has grown to at least 20 years, but a big sticking point remains. the u.s. wants rigorous inspections of all of iran's military and nuclear sites. not just the five known atomic plants that iran has already acknowledged. so all of this particularly those inspections is a focus as these talks, gayle, are now expected to extend well into the weekend. >> okay. margaret brennan, thank you, in switzerland. this morning the secret service is working to recover deleted surveillance video of an incident outside the white house. director joseph clancy told the senate panel yesterday there was no crash earlier this month when agents hit a barrier. he said it was really only a
7:16 am
minor accident. clancy also expressed disappointment that it took him so long to hear about it. >> the fact that i did not learn of this allegation until five days after it is said to have occurred is unacceptable. i'm very unhappy about it. >> and clancy says any employee who concealed information will be held accountable. if your bracket is busted this morning already you are not alone. undefeated kentucky remains perfect, yes. now 35-0. day one of the round of 64 featured a dizzying series of upsets. georgia state knocked off bailerylor in the final seconds. ucla topped smu in a controversial goal tending call with only 13 seconds to go. more proof that anything goes in march. >> r.j. hunter for three. score! >> less than four hours into the tournament the madness began. 14 seed georgia state scored the

7:35 am
>> i don't know. i think the evidence here is a lot more troublesome for the prosecution. not only is it a circle evidence case it's a weak circumstantial evidence cased based primarily on two things. this junk science letter and the bathroom confession. well, throw me in that brier patch. >> you know, we don't know whether the assistant d.a. actually crossed the line during that interview, because he has not passed on that interview to the defense. so there's a three-hour interview with robert durst. we don't know what was said and it hasn't been made public. they're keeping it very close to the vest. >> do other lawyers think this is a weak circumstantial case? >> what you had in galveston when charged with morris black's murder, he admitted he dismembered a body.

7:37 am
you have two manned writing specialists who say the cadaver letter was actually written by somebody else. >> when might this go to trial? >> oh a while. because it does look like that this is going to be delayed in new orleans, and he may face gun charges in new orleans. >> you've been on the case for many, many year erin. more for you. >> and more for a long time to come. >> thanks. >> good job. you can see erin's full report the bizarre saga of robs durst tomorrow night on "48 hours" right here on cbs. some call them the modern day monuments men. >> what did you do during the war, my daughter said what did you do to save something very important? i would be ashamed to say, i did nothing. >> up next clarissa ward with the archeologist risking lives in the syrian civil war. if and you're heading off to work, set your dvr to catch cbs

very important and i would be ashamed to say i did nothing. >> it's a sense some of duty. >> yes. >> the artifacts looted by isis and other groups are sold to middle men. but those delers may sit oven them for up to a decade before trying to sell them on the international antiquities market to make it that much tougher to track. >> boy clarissa the doctor's words to his daughter, very touching. what can they do? >> they can make a record of it. they're talking to world health organizations like the scale of the damage and stop the illegal trade. >> thank you very much. >> he said one day this war will be other. the question is what happens before that war. what else happens.

change your sleep? i'm surprised to hear it is genetics. >> to a certain degree but not all the way. you can use light therapy or melatonin to shift your internal biological clock. some people have delayed sleep phrase syndrome which is worse. it's like being a night owl on steroids. they can't go to bed before 3:00 a.m. >> they're called musicians. >> or journalists. or morning journalists. >> sometimes. >> michael breus, very interesting. thank you very much. >> thanks for having me. a rock star of science reflects on life as a child f. you ask me as a kid at age 11 that annoying question that adults ask kids what do you want to be when you grow up? i'd say astrophysicist. that would shut everybody up in the room. >> he shows charlie how he look up and never looked back. we'll preview their "60 minutes"
