7:14 am
scription pads is in place this morning in one of country's biggest states. the law took effect in new york yesterday. most doctors could face stiff fines if they do not issue prescriptions electronically. last year about 1.4 billion e prescriptions were sent directly to pharmacies. that is up from 1 billion in the previous year. >> good morning, charlie. >> so in new york, they will be forced to send -- many places you can do it voluntarily. >> it's available in most states. new york is the first to make it mandatory with penalties if you don't do eprescribing. so really this is the second part of a law that passed in new york state back in 2012. it's called i-stop. the internet system for tracking overprescribing. the first part of the law gave doctors better visibility into who was getting prescribe what had drugs. it cut down on doctor shopping. if you warranted to prescribe a
7:15 am
painkiller like vicodin, percocet, ambien, anything along those lines, you could look at the computer and see if the patient had been prescribed something like that recently. now the new part of the law just took effect yesterday. it is dramatic. paper prescriptions will not be accepted at any pharmacies in new york state and you can't call in prescriptions either. >> so what do authorities see or doctors see that made them think we need to change the laws here? >> right. really paper prescriptions at this point can be considered a form of criminal currency. they could be stolen. they could be forged in some cases they were bought and sold. a doctor might write a prescription for eight pills and patients were able to just add a little one there and change it to 18 pills. so the idea here is if you get rid of all the paper prescriptions you can get rid of some of the forgery. it goes directly to a pharmacy. you have software, you sit down
7:16 am
and order the prescription for the patient. it goes districtly to their pharmacy and there's no paper in between. >> the president said it's okay to suggest they do this, but they should never make it mandatory. >> i see that perspective. it is time intensive. i'm finding it laborious. there are other benefits. doctors are notorious for having bad handwriting. so by doing it on the computer, you can cut down on some those errors just from poor handwriting. >> is there a concern -- the first thing that jumped out to me is this idea of we put this online electronically of hacking and that becomes a whole new issue instead of stealing the prescription pads. >> 100 pr%. there will always be people who game the system. there are safeguards. for instance to prescribe controlled substances, you have to go into your software with your d.e.a. number.
7:17 am
but then there's a separate key fob system. it's a token and the numbers change every 30 seconds. so you have to put those numbers in as well. for someone really to steal your information and be able to prescribe in your name, they would have to get both of those steps done. it would be challenging. >> thank you. >> they would have to work really hard to break the law. >> which is a good thing. >> thank you. pope francis is speaking out against the threat of terror and extremism. he delivered his easter message to a massive crowd at st. peter's square amid very tight security. he condemned the terror attacks in belgium and other countries. the pope said easter is a time to remember refugees from war and poverty. visitors waited in long lines through metal detectors. the final four is set this morning in the ncaa men's basketball tournament after one wild finish this weekend. syracuse rallying from 13 points down with just over 8:30 left, they topped virginia, the number

good morning to our viewers in the west. it is monday march 28th, 2016. welcome back to "cbs this morning." more real news ahead including a proposed law to give possible jail time to distracted walkers. rikki klieman considered where walking while texting should be considered a crime. first here's today's eye opener at 8:00. evidence that the bombings were carried out by a network of terrorist cells. the taliban claims responsibility for a terror attack in pakistan that targeted christians on the easter weekend. donald trump and ted cruz
8:01 am
and their allegations of dirty tricks, lying, cheating and infidelity. the storms this morning are moving towards the east. the faa rules are strict. think about it, you're strapped in, ready to go and the mistake your pilot away. the law just took effect yesterday. it is dramatic. it gets rid of the prescription pad all together. the film makers say they have a first amendment right for their views to be heard. after seeing them in person twice, i don't think anybody can beat them. their defense is so strong. the orange can't do it. there is no way. i'm curious guys about how she thought this was going to end. lady, the police are right behind you. >> she's got gusto. >> she's got something. >> she got arrested. >> yeah.
8:02 am
i'm charlie rose. norah o'donnell is off. prosecutors in belgium have charged at least three people with taking part in terrorist activities after weekend raid in the country. >> belgian police this morning released this video appeal asking for information about the man in the black hat. the prosecutor said minutes ago they released the other suspect connected to the attack over lack of evidence. at least 33 were killed at the bombings in the airport and the subway station. at least four americans are among them. justin and stephanie schultz were dropping off stephanie's mother when the bombs went off and they stayed to go through security. the mother made it. they did not. in the presidential race,
8:03 am
both parties are focused on wisconsin. bernie sanders swept three caucuses in western states. he won landslides over hillary clinton in washington, alaska and hawaii. clinton still holds a big overall lead in delegates that includes a 469-29 margin in super delegates who can choose to vote for either candidate. the winner of the wisconsin republican primary will claim all 42 delegates. donald trump and ted cruz are trading vicious and personal attacks. >> if donald were president and he actually did what he said he would do, withdraw from nato, it would hand a massive victory to putin, a massive victory to isis. isis would be dancing in the street at the weakness and ie isolationism of donald trump. his lack of foreign policy was evident.
8:04 am
so donald did what he always does. he tried to find a way to change the subject. late at night he sends tweets attacking my wife. it is inappropriate, wrong. it is frankly disgusting. >> donald trump explained his foreign policy views to the "new york times." he emphasized the importance of unpredictability and he argued that the country's traditions of democracy and openness had made it to seasy for allies to see. journalists prepared for interviews the morning of the brussels attacks. >> you already were scheduled to do a bunch of morning show interviews by phone. did you consult with anybody about what to say? >> consult. i say it from my heart and brain. >> this morning the you say what
8:05 am
you to say? >> i say what i think is appropriate. >> trump will be in wisconsin tomorrow after taking a week off the campaign trail. ivanka gave birth sunday to a boy. she posted on instagram, baby theodore, my heart is full. >> news in the trump family. >> very sweet. that's nice. >> i saw her in a restaurant on saturday night. she stopped by and said the last time i was in this restaurant, the next day my other child was born. the next day he was born. >> is it you or the restaurant? >> i think it's time actually. >> welcome. >> good morning. >> how does this back and forth about women and the trading of insults in a sense make it very
8:06 am
difficult for the republican nominee, whoever he is, to have a strong appeal to women in the general election? >> not only women. when you're doing the trading of insults about wives, when you're on that level of base insult, it turns everybody off. of course it turns women off. i have a feeling both candidates are going back off this vulgar phase and be a little bit more serious. >> when? >> in the next few days until they revert again. this is what politics look like at this moment as things come down to a tough race. i don't think they help themselves by talking like this. especially mr. trump, it makes it look like he's devoted too much brain space to things that are unworthy. unattractive and creepy and
8:07 am
childish. >> but they're both blaming the other. >> one of them said -- i think trump said the other day i didn't start it, he started it. i thought oh i've heard that before. that's because i've been surrounded by children before. >> speaking of brain space, donald trump gave a long interview to the "new york times" about his views on foreign policy. >> yes. >> what did you take from that? >> i was not scandalized by it as some people were. really burned up twitter and facebook, oh my god, i can't believe he had so many doubts about nato. to me this was the kind of reasonable airing of an impetuous man's thoughts when he's on the phone with the "new york times." >> is impetuous what you want in a president? >> no. trump always acts like i'm fooling around now, but i swear
8:08 am
when i'm president i won't be fooling around. the essentials about what he said, certain doubts about nato and its ap publl applicability current terror tlaehreat. >> the president asked some questions about our relationship and whether europe was paying its fair share. >> yes. he made it very clear in the piece in the atlantic that he has questions. i think a certain distance he's feeling toward our allies. you know, there's a little bit of a mind meld between obama and trump on certain issues in a funny way, such as a certain -- i can't think of the word but detachment towards or disapproval of the way things have been going. >> but they come from different places. >> they certainly do, don't they? >> one of the things that stood
8:09 am
out just hearing that sound bite, this idea that he's not hearing from advisors. do we or does the general population think about that or care about that? >> people like us notice it. i actually think there's a problem. there are a lot of foreign policy big brains on the republican side. i think they don't join him for two reasons. one is there's a stigma with joining trump. he's the vulgarian outsider. is he up to this job. so nobody will join him at this time. if he became a candidate i think he would pick up some advisors and then we'd wonder does he ever listen to them. that will be part two of that story. >> his message continues to resonate though. to be continued for sure. >> you got it.

8:34 am
neighborhood, they are not watching for people who are texting and walking. on the other hand, if you're in a residential area and people are walking, which, by the way, if you are walking and texting, you go 60% off your straight line. people aimlessly wind up in the middle of the street. it's a problem with enforcement. then you look at penalties. it's one thing if they are doing here to deal with it like jaywalking and say, well, okay, it's a 50 dollar fine. but jaywalking also has a 15-day in jail penalty. do we really want to put people in jail for texting while walking? >> no. >> we don't, but, at the same time, when you have a bill like this, we are really looking at public safety. new york, by the way, has a different approach as other states have done. they are looking at dealing with the traffic. so you slow the speed limit down. or the pedestrian aisles or
8:35 am
pedestrian malls. but, ultimately, these kind of laws are going to keep going forward. at some point i think it's going to be passed. >> you can see at any major intersection in new york four or five people crossing and looking at their smartphone. >> and when you look at these emergency admissions, we are not only talking about somebody taking a fall in a pothole, we are talking about someone getting seriously injured or killed by a car. >> that is why people call it a victimless crime. everybody thinks i can do it but i'm better than that guy. >> the polling is so fascinating about that, that we know people should not do it. and, at the same time, we think that even though we do it, it's okay. >> well, as you mentioned, it's also not just for yourself, it's somebody else. the car that has to slam on its brakes and whoever is injured because you're crossing. >> absolutely. >> and they are trying to get people to do it voluntarily. >> phone companies are terrific about this and done public

8:38 am
know is in the drop in revenues is a direct result of gambling restrictions. if the chinese clientele aren't coming in to gamble as much, you have to offer them something else and that is what we are. i'm the alternative to blackjack. >> reporter: by 2013 macau was making seven times the gaming revenue of las vegas. but that was before china's president launched his government crackdown and has 160 communist party officials and limited flashy gifts and conspicuous consumption. >> you have to offer more. >> reporter: looking to diversify and attract new customers, lawrence ho built studio city here and financed the house of magic which, by some estimates, cost upwards of $15.
