morning," gayle king is off and vanita nigher is with us. new concerns after a postal worker flew a small helicopter to capitol hill. washington's latest security breach caught police the secret service and the military all off zblard the guard. >> a friend who alerted the secret service says "i was scared to death they were going to kill him." jeff pegues is at the capital. jeff? >> reporter: the u.s. attorney's office is reviewing charges and lawmakers are taking a closer look and asking questions. for example, why didn't military aircraft intercept that gyrocopter and why was it allowed to land so close to this capitol building? the low-flying gyrocopter stunned tourists. >> this is not good people. >> reporter: as it came in for a landing on the west lawn of the u.s. capitol. police quickly swarmed the chopper and took 61-year-old doug hughs into custody. he planned the stunt to make a

statement. >> no sane person would do what i'm doing. >> reporter: the "tampa bay times" has been documenting his quest for months. it was intended to bring attention to what hughes believes is an urgent need for campaign finance reform. the political activist and u.s. postal worker was carrying letters for members of congress. >> i'm going to have 535 letters strapped to the landing gear. >> he was looking for a day when the weather is right. >> reporter: ben montgomery, the reporter who interviewed him, says hughes knew the cost of flying in restricted airspace. >> he was expecting helicopters to escort him. he thought they would first asses him as a threat realize that his gyrocopter was completely transparent, that he wasn't dangerous. >> reporter: hughes told police he started his flight from an airfield around gettysburg wednesday morning and headed 80 miles toward washington at low altitude within sight of the white house. the federal aviation administration says hughes was not in contact with faa air traffic controllers and was not

authorized to enter restricted airspace. the agency did not say if it had detected the aircraft. >> frankly, he's lucky he wasn't shot. >> reporter: if hughes wanted to get congress's attention, he did but raising security concerns. >> a determined individual was able to get through the security barriers. that ought to concern all of us. >> that would be a catastrophic security failure. >> the biggest negative that comes out of this and there are many, is the fact that it may plant the seed for someone as well as more malicious intentions. >> reporter: the secret service says that it was tipped off about hughes a year and a half ago and it says it interviewed him and conducted a thorough investigation. but now some members of congress are calling for hearings. norah? >> jeff, this is supposed to be some of the most secure airspace in the world. who's responsible for it? >> it's a combination of the faa and the military but there are a

lot of agencies that were impacted by this incident here. secret service capitol police faa, and the military and there are lawmakers asking that very question, who's responsible. >> jeff thank you so much. doug hugh's neighbors say he's a good man who has strong feelings. we'll go to his florida home where vicente arenas is gathering information. this morning the bill hillary, and chelsea clinton foundation is changing the way it accepts foreign donations because of hillary clinton's presidential campaign. critics say the charity takes millions of dollars a year from governments and other donors that want political influence. juliana goldman is in washington. she has been tracking the foundation's fund-raising. juliana, good morning. >> reporter: the clinton foundation has sponsored health and climate work since 2001. it's taken in $42 million in donations from foreign governments to fund the grants but the changes in policy

acknowledge the potential liability the foundation has on her presidential bid. >> i am very proud of the work the foundation does. i'm very proud of the hundreds of thousands of people who support the work of the foundation. >> reporter: under the new policy, the clinton foundation will accept large donations from six foreign governments -- australia, canada germany, the netherlands, norway and the united kingdom. the foundation will stop taking millions of dollars from all other countries including saudi arabia, whose contributions have been a source of criticism. on sunday's "face the nation," republican presidential candidate rand paul brought up her ties to the charity. >> she's taken money from country that abuse the rights of women. i think we should be boycotting that activity not encouraging it. it looks bad for the case of defending women's rights. >> reporter: foreign governments can still participate in the clinton global initiative a subsidiary of the foundation and pay attendance fees. >> i think people who want to

support the foundation know full well what it is we stand for and what we're working on. >> reporter: foundation officials say the new policies are more stringent than when clinton was secretary of state. in 2009, the foundation agreed to greater transparency and to limit foreign donations as part of a deal with the obama administration. but it never stopped taking money from foreign companies or individuals with ties to their governments. and the new rules don't address that either. last month, cbs uncovered a $2 million donation from wheelen err surprises a company run by the chinese billionaire who helped build the embassy in washington. reince priebus said last night that any foreign government funding should set off alarm bells. the foundation will evolve in other ways disclosing donors quarterly instead of annually and charlie its next filing will

be in july. former president george w. bush reportedly says he will be a problem if his brother runs for the white house. according to politico, the 43rd president told a chicago gathering that jeb bush will be a good president but he added this "it's an easy line to say haven't we had enough bushes? after all, even my mother said yes. that's why you won't see me out there and he doesn't need to defend me and he's totally different from me." cbs news political director john dickerson, the future host of "face the nation" is in washington. john, good morning. >> good morning, charlie. >> how is jeb going to handle george? >> well this is going to strain the filial bonds a little bit. one of the ways he was going to handle it is saying this is just a fixation of the press and can't we move on from this? well, that's fine except when your brother brings it up and everybody says oh, there's an elephant in the room and your brother is pointing at it. so what he's going to hope is that by basically constantly saying here are the things that

i believe, people will stop talking about his relationship to his father and his brother and he just has to hope to change the conversation. but as george w. bush put it the problem here is that it gives an easy reason for people to just classify him and stop listening. and what jeb bush is trying to do is get people to actually listen. >> there's an interesting dynamic because not only do you have the bush dynasty you have the clinton dynasty. how do both of those candidates escape trying to be viewed as their own person. >> and also for the campaign to be about the future not the past. >> that's right, we saw marco rubio announce his campaign this week by talking about politicians snuck the past. he's talking both about jeb bush and hillary clinton. they both have a similar problem. what they both hope is that perhaps -- and this is maybe a little wishful thinking -- that both hillary clinton and jeb bush can kind of use the caricature about them to shock people into taking a second look. in other words if they can hear something, if they don't

immediately dismiss those candidacies voters might think, huh, i had a misimpression and be pleasantly surprised. but that's tough because each has something where voters can easily classify them, stop listening and go listen to some other candidate. >> you were with hillary in iowa. one of the big questions is how are voters responding? what was her message and how did voters receive it? >> it was sort of like an arranged marriage with the new couple goes down for their first meeting anden the entire village comes to watch. she had some interactions with voters but there was this gargantuan press throng around her. so voters are seeing lots of pictures of please meetings but plaly in iowa it will have to be lots and lots of visits before they take a final view of her. >> john dickerson, thank you so much. former nfl star aaron hernandez will get an automatic appeal of his life sentence for murder. the former new england patriots tight end was convicted

wednesday in the shooting death of odin lloyd. he was dating the sister of his fiance. don dahler is in fall river, massachusetts, where the jury is suggesting the defense helped seal hernandez's fate. john, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. aaron hernandez went from star tight end from the new england patriots with a $40 million contract, a fiance and a new baby to convicted murderer. from a life to be envied to a life in prison due at least in some measure to his defense team's strategy. >> guilty of murder in the first degree. >> reporter: aaron hernandez stood stoically as the verdict was read. his mother sat behind him and tried to comfort his fiance while the victim's mother silently cried. prosecutors worked to build a circumstantial case to link hernandez to the crime. he was seen walking outside a nightclub with odin lloyd two nights before the murder. surveillance video from the defendant's home showed him holding what prosecutors said was a gun.

>> do you swear to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth so help you god? >> yes. >> reporter: but it may have been the testimony of patriots owner robert kraft that convinced the jury to convict. >> my recollection is that he said that he hoped that the time of the event came out because he was in a club. >> reporter: prosecutors seized on that alibi, telling the court hernandez says he was in a club when the murder happened but the time of odin's death had not been made public. the jury held a press conference after the sentencing. at times laughing at the reporters' questions. the jury said the defense's admission during closing statement that hernandez was present at the scene of the crime made their choice crystal clear. >> we were all shocked by that. >> yes. >> surprising. very surprising. >> reporter: the judge sentenced hernandez to life in prison without the possibility of parole. hernandez could be seen mouthing- the words "you're wrong." outside the courthouse odin's

mother recalled the last time she saw her only son. >> i had just came from church and my son saw me he says "ma, you look so beautiful today. i love those colors on you." and those were the last words i heard from my son. >> reporter: hernandez's legal odyssey isn't over yet. he's actually been charged with a double murder that happened in boston in 2012. the district attorney hasn't said when that trial will start, but vanita it's safe to assume his calendar is wide open. >> don, thanks. we are just getting reports from pakistan that a california native was shot and wounded this morning. it happen in karachi, the country's largest city. a newspaper there says 55-year-old debra lobo was shot by four gunmen as she was leaving a medical school where she is a professor. lobo was critically injured and taken to a nearby hospital. no word yet on her condition. this morning, isis militants are on the offensive in iraq. force fighting is reported on

the outskirts of ramadi west of baghdad. the extremists may be close to taking control of cities and iraq's oil refinery in baiji is coming under attack. holly williams is in istanbul turkey monitoring the latest fighting. holly, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, isis has overrun several villages close to ramadi according to iraqi officials, reportedly blowing up a police station during the attack. isis militants have been battling against iraqi forces for months now around ramadi and the extremists already control large parts of this t surrounding province of anbar, the area where the center for the al qaeda insurgency after the u.s. invasion of iraq in 2003. further north near baiji, isis fighters have also broken into iraq's largest oil refinery. and iraqi officials say there is fighting inside this facility. the pentagon recently claimed that u.s.-led air strikes and iraqi ground forces have made

significant progress recapturing the city of tikrit and retaking more than a quarter of the territory seized by isis in iraq last year. u.s. air strikes on tuesday and wednesday targeted isis positions around both baiji and ramadi. norah? >> holly williams in istanbul thank you. doctors have a new tool in the fight against heart failure. the fda has approved a new drug for the condition affecting five million americans. taraer in er in runauru la is a cardiologist. how is this different? >> this targets patients with systolic heart failure. it's an oral pill to be taken twice a day and it targets the heart rate. we know patients with heart failure don't do well when their heart rates climb so this drug specifically targets the pacemaker cells in the heart, the ones that produce the heart beat to slow them down as much as 15 points. the reason this is nice is because the other drugs, the standard ones that we have for

heart failure in addition to slowing the heart rate they also drop the blood pressure. this drug should not drop the blood pressure and so it's meant to essentially be added to the standard regimen, not to replace it. >> do you think there are any side effects for this? >> certainly there are. studies have shown they're low but the biggest one is slowing of the heart rate, a small increased risk of irregular heart rate some vision changes and increased blood pressure. >> will you prescribe it? >> absolutely. this is a big deal. studies have shown this drug can decrease the risk of hospitalization and cardiovascular death primarily driven by heart failure death by 18%. a this costs our country $30 billion a year multiple readmissions to the hospital during the course of the year and it's a quality of life issue for patients so anything we can offer them that will prevent them going in and out of the hospital will be a great option. >> if heart fail injury so low that will, why has it taken ten

years to get on the market? >> heart fail injury very complicated and there are new drugs in the pipeline. there's one that may come out this summer that works differently from this one but has been shown to decrease the risk of rehospitalization. >> it's available now? >> no this drug corlinor was just approved by the fda. >> how long will it take to get on the market? >> i'm not sure. i'd have to ask am general, the company that makes it. >> but this is an expensive cost, right? >> $375 a month up to $4,000. >> thank you so much. a military helicopter's emergency landing near san diego surprised many beachgoers including singer kenny loggins. the marine corps chopper landed safely after a mechanical problem. no one was hurt. a number of on lookers watched as maintenance crews fixed the low oil pressure. kenny loggins posted a picture and video to twitter saying he walked right into the danger zone. that's a reference from his 1986 hit song from "top gun."
