7:03 am
welcome to "cbs this morning. as you wake up in the west breaking news outside the united states capitol. a driver crashed his car into a barricade on the building's south side about 100 yards from an entrance. >> this happened a little over an hour ago. the driver is in custody. julianna goldman is outside the capitol. good morning. >> reporter: shortly after 8:30 we were on the senate side of the capitol and heard sirens saw police clearing the house plaza in front of the capitol. we raced over to sighee what was going on and a capitol police told us a car slammed into a care bade on the house side of the capitol building. there had been police tape set up. it was a pretty calm scene. it was a red nissan altima with florida plates. witnesses heard a screech and the car rammed into the barricade at high speed.
7:04 am
we saw the individual was sitting on the side of the curb in handcuffs talking to officers. he was taken into police custody. he did not appear to be injured. no shots were fired. no police were injured. this was handled efficiently and calmly compared to other instances on the hill. the car was towed away within an hour. another big story -- new debris washing up on a tropical island that could be tied to missing malaysian airlines flight 370. an airplane piece will be flown to france. a number on the piece proves it came from a boeing 777. a chinese water bottle and cleaning product from indyeesia were also found on the island of reunion. seth doane is in beijing where
7:05 am
the flight from kuala lumpur should have landed nearly a year and a half ago. >> malaysian official said he believes within two days they will be able to confirm whether or not that part had anything to do with the missing jetliner. this as family members of victims in china and around the world wait for answers. covered in barnacles, it's a flaperan from a 777 aircraft. mh-370 is the only plane of that type known to be missing. a flaperan is a piece of the wing that helps keep a plane level and slows it down when landing. it's being sent from the island of reunion, a french territory, to toulouse where it will be examined. the search continues in the southern indian ocean thousands of miles from where the debris was discovered. swirling ocean currents make
7:06 am
retracing the debris's path almost impossible. australia's deputy prime minister warren truss said today adding if confirmed it would eliminate fanciful theories. >> it establishes beyond really any doubt that the aircraft is resting in the indian ocean and not secretly parked in some hidden place on land in another part of the world. >> reporter: truss cast doubt that a piece of tattered luggage had been in the wartter long enough to be connected to mh-370. this as other trash raised questions of possible links to the missing airliner. victims families have endured false leads and frustration. jung says he has a hard time believing any news these days. it's unprecedented, he said.
7:07 am
mh-370 relatives have suffered more than any other victims in any other air crash in such a long time. even if that part is confirmed to be part of the missing jetliner, it still leaves the big question, where is the rest of the plane and what exactly happened. this as a volcanic eruption on the island of reunion threatens to throwslow work for the search for clues. >> seth thank you so much. oceanographer david gallo co-led the search for air france flight 447. it went down in a deep remote section of the atlantic in 2009. he is with us from massachusetts. good morning. >> good morning. >> does the timing and location of the debris make sense scientifically to you?
7:08 am
>> absolutely. the currents from the search site now moving at a counterclockwise pattern. they are swirling but the distance -- so the direction is right, counterclockwise from there. and the distance is one that can be covered in that amount of time 500 some odd days. >> what is the amount of damage to this piece or lack of damage to this piece say to you? >> well just by looking at it i'm not an aerospace expert so it looks like it's relatively intacts, but the bea, the french version of the ntsb that will be investigating this will get every clue they can get out of looking at that piece and the connections to the airline about what -- how that came detached from the plane. >> what's the likelihood there will be other pieces of this plane in the very same area? >> off hand i'd say it's good.
7:09 am
and it's tough to say when bottles wash up and suitcase washes up. there's so much trash out there in the ocean. you have to wonder what might have washed up in the past month or two, something that just wasn't recognized as coming from the plane. that needs to be looked at carefully both on the beach and off the beach by aircraft. >> can you talk about the enormity of the ocean? is it like looking for a needle in a haystack? and what is it like for searchers who spend so much time looking and find nothing. >> it's going to give them a boost. terrific for the families beyond imagination. for the teams that have been out there for months and months it will give them a boost because this is the first tangible bit of evidence that a plane they are looking for that did go down into the undian ocean. i'm sure they've had a lot of frustration. they are about halfway done with
7:10 am
the primary search area and we'll see if something happens. this san important break. >> david gallo, thank you for joining us. the former police officer charged with murdering an unarmed black man is out on bail this morning. raymond tensing pleaded not guilty. his shooting of sam dubose hand during a traffic stop. dean reynolds is live with what is next for the former officer. >> reporter: good morning. ray tensing walked out of this building about 6:35 last night after his father posted 10% of the million dollar bond a judge had set. former university of cincinnati police officer raymond tensing made bond thursday hours after pleading not guilty to murder. >> the bond will be $1 million.
7:11 am
>> this is a courtroom. you will conduct yourself at all times. >> unlike his very public court appearance tensing was taken out discreetly through a back door. he spent a little over 24 hours behind bars under suicide watch. >> he was checked every ten minutes. he was in shock. he just seemed very shocked. >> the 25-year-old faces possible life in prison for killing 43-year-old samuel dubose during a traffic stop earlier this month. >> where's the license plate on your car? >> his body cam captured the moment dubose put his car in gear and tensing pulled the trigger. >> stop. stop. >> tensing says he was being dragged and had no choice but to shoot. >> he had a traffic stop. the guy took off. >> two university officers were also at the scene and are now on
7:12 am
paid administrative leave. >> are you good? >> i'm good. i got my hand and arm caught. >> he said he was dragged and it's all he could do but kill my brother to save his life. that's a blatant lie. this was an outright execution. >> tensing's lawyer says his cloont client his received numerous death threats and right now his whereabouts are unknown. >> thanks dean. the state department will release another 4,000 pages of e-mails from hillary clinton's time as secretary of state. a federal judge accused officials of dragging out the release of those documents. there are new issues nagging clinton's presidential campaign. 37% say he is not honest and trustworthy. nancy cordes is in washington. >> we learned the state department isn't just struggling to make clinton's e-mails public
7:13 am
but to get a hold of some e-mails her top aides sent during her tenure as secretary of state. in maryland thursday clinton said the rate at which her e-mails are released it out of her hands. >> this is a question for the state department. they are the ones bearing the responsibility to sort through these thousands and thousands of e-mails. >> reporter: according to a federal judge, the state department hasn't been anywhere near aggressive enough. u.s. district judge richard leone argued certain e-mails could be quickly processed by even the least ambitious bureaucrat including routine exchanges. >> we take seriously our responsibilities. >> reporter: the staffers reviewing clinton's e-mails are also dealing with a huge increase in press requests.
7:14 am
>> we're working hard to stretch our resources to respond to the back load and foia requests. >> the agency has had trouble obtaining e-mails from some of secretary clinton's top aides. >> why has it been so difficult for your inner circle to turn over their e-mails in a timely fashion. >> i think we have been proceeding in a timely fashion and, indeed the vast majority of the e-mails i turned over and are being turned over by others were already in the state department system. >> clinton's communications director sent a fiery letter to the editor of "the new york times" slamming the paper for what she called inexplicable delays in correcting a story that said that clinton was facing a criminal invest gaugsigation for receiving information on her personal account. they said hundreds of outlets followed your story creating a
7:15 am
firestorm that had a deep impact that cannot be unwound. >> nancy, thank you. planned parenthood is facing new questions today. they released a fourth undercover video showing a doctor talking about selling fetal body parts for profit. republicans are calling for an investigation. they want to know if planned parenthood is violating federal laws by changing abortion procedures to better harvest organs. >> these videos are hard for anyone to defend and hit at the moral fabric of our society. >> it's another effort by the republicans to try to limit the health care options for women. >> democrats say republicans are using the videos to their advantage. the senate will vote next week whether to cut off planned parenthood's federal funding. more severe weather threatens the west coast.

>> what we see on this is it's fully intact. it was going to fly into the water, that flapperon would not be attack. the only way you would see that intact is if the plane hit the water at a slow speed. that opens up the idea if it hid at a slow speed and it was deployed. you can see at the tip of the flaperon looks like it might have been shaved off. if somebody tried to land that airplane after running out of gas, that's a really chilling idea to think there was somebody alive in that cockpit flying that airplane after it ran out of gas and was gliding into the ocean. >> flight 370 disappeared in march of last year. a former university of cincinnati cop is out on jail in

cases unusual. our dr. holly phillips is with us to bring us up to date at the table. i was watching this on local, very scary stuff because for a whale while they weren't sure where it was coming from. how is it you get? >> it's a severe form of pneumonia. it's not transmitted person to person. you basically can't catch it from someone else. you get it from breathing in droplets in the air or mist in the air that comes from sources like plumbing systems, hot tubs showers, really communal water sources. in this case in the bronx, they are looking at water coolers that are attached to buildings as two possible sources, and they've sterilized those and now they are looking at about ten other sites where potentially the bacteria are harboring. >> there's a reported case near philadelphia now. how common is this? >> right. it's a very common illness.
8:15 am
right now they don't think the philadelphia case has anything to do with the cases in the bronx. there are about 8,000 -- between 8,000 and 18,000 people hospitalized with it every year and about 15% of those people die. it's seasonal. it happens more in the summer and the early fall and that's because the bacteria live in water and they prefer warm water. that's why we see it more in the summer. >> what do you do if you get it? >> it's treated by antibiotics. there is no vaccine, but it's actually really important to pick it up early, because the antibiotics are most effective when that happens. interestingly, not everybody who breathes in the same air, it doesn't mean you'll get the disease. most people, in fact don't. the people at highest risk are people who are smokers, who have underlying lung diseases like copd or everyone fa zee ma. >> why have two people died it they not get help soon enough?
8:16 am
>> it's treatable, but severe. it's serious, nonetheless. >> good information, dr. holly phillips, thank you so much. all right, the ntsb is so desperate to make travel safer it created a most wanted list of safety measures. so why is it being ignored? peter greenberg investigates. that's next here on "cbs this morning". cbs morning rounds sponsored by nicodetermine cq.

8:35 am
oriented. >> reporter: the data backs that up. over the last seven years, female senators introduced more legislation than their male counterparts. were more bipartisan co-sponsoring more bills from the opposite party and had more of their bills enacted by the entire senate. was anyone surprised by that? >> no. we had to prove ourselves maybe a little more than the guys did. and i think that shows. >> you can't get one thing done here by yourself. a natural coalition for me is all the other women in the senate. >> reporter: those relationships aren't built overnight. >> we had such a good time, we went out and had dinner. >> reporter: 20 years ago retiring senator barbara mcicalsky began the tradition of dinners. no staffs no leaks, and no men. >> do you get a sense from male colleagues from trying to get into the dinners. >> i think they wonder. >> i confess there was a time
