7:03 am
places. >> excellent messages from those graduation speakers. welcome to "cbs this morning." as you wake up in the west, israel and the united states are celebrating a historic transition. you're looking at live pictures of the opening ceremony. u.s. embassy in israel officially moved from tel aviv to jerusalem this morning. >> palestinians angry about the move are holding new protests on the gaza/israel border. israeli troops reportedly killed at least 41 of those protesters. palestinians have been demonstrating for weeks, saying the u.s. is no longer a partner in the peace process. >> but for president trump, opening this new embassy fulfills a promise. his son-in-law, white house senior adviser jared kushner told the morning's dedication ceremony it shows the world the u.s. can be trusted. seth doane is at the ceremony at
7:04 am
the new embassy in jerusalem with the latest on the story. seth, good morning. >> reporter: good morning to you. right now, prime minister be netanyahu of israel is getting another standing ovation. he has been addressing this crowd. of note, he said, remember this moment, this is history. just before him, president trump's son-in-law jared kushner addressed the crowd, encouraging a status quo, encouraging all religions to have access to jerusalem despite this controversial nbc move. 800 people filled the stands this morning at the controversial u.s. embassy opening in jerusalem. president trump addressed the crowd by video. >> israel is a sovereign nation with the right like every other sovereign nation to determine its own capital. yet for many years, we failed to acknowledge the obvious. the plain reality that israel's capital is jerusalem.
7:05 am
>> reporter: dan shapiro was the u.s. ambassador to israel under president obama. if you are still the ambassador, if you had that secure line to president donald trump, what would you say to him? >> i'd say if we're moving our embassy to jerusalem, which is a perfectly legitimate and reasonable thing to do, let's describe it in the full context of the two-state solution that we envision. >> reporter: shapiro thinks the u.s. embassy move should ultimately be paired with the promise of a future palestinian state to be built in east jerusalem. that's something the trump administration has not articulated. >> the peace process is in trouble. >> reporter: this is a longtime palestinian peace negotiator who argues by the u.s. moving its embassy to jerusalem, it is unilaterally siding with israel on the status of a city also claimed by palestinians. >> from our point of view, what mr. trump has done is destroyed the role of the united states as an honest broker. >> reporter: but many israelis are applauding president trump's move and they filled jerusalem
7:06 am
streets celebrating a decisive israeli war victory of more than 50 years ago. it's an annual celebration, but this year, they told us, it meant more with the u.s. embassy move. just earlier, ivanka trump, president trump's daughter, unveiled a seal, that got applause. these are the hard-core supporters here. they say they believe moving this embassy advances peace. many of those who were not insided, including many palestinians, question how that might be, norah. >> celebration there, but a lot of anger elsewhere. seth doane in jerusalem, thank you. as we mentioned, it is an angry scene on israel's border with gaza. nearly 70 miles from jerusalem. that's where thousands of palestinians are protesting the embassy move in the face of israeli troops. holly williams is in gaza where officials say this is the deadliest day of violence in nearly four years. holly, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. this week is the culmination of six weeks of protests here in
7:07 am
the gaza strip. and today, we believe tens of thousands of palestinian demonstrators have gathered all along the fence, about 150 yards behind me, and separates gaza from israel. today, we've seen israeli soldiers using drones to drop tear gas canisters on the protesters and also firing live ammunition. we have seen ambulance after ambulance coming to pick up casualties including many with gunshot wounds. palestinian officials say more than 400 people have been injured today with gunshot wounds. now, many of the palestinian protesters, probably most, are peaceful. but a small number have been burning tires, throwing rocks, using sling shots and attempting to get across the fence. palestinians have condemnled the move of the u.s. embassy to jerusalem in part because they hope that east jerusalem will one day be their capital if they ever get their own state. but i think these protests are also fueled by feelings of
7:08 am
impatient anger and frustration. the gaza strip has been blockaded now for more than ten years and the economy here is on the verge of collapse according to the united nations. norah. >> all right, holly williams there, in gaza, thank you. jeff glor will anchor tonight's "cbs evening news" from jerusalem. new lava fissures in hawaii could force another 2,000 people to evacuate their homes. that's on top of the more than 1,700 people who have already left. there are 18 fissures near the kilauea volcano. another major highway is also at risk. david begnaud is at a road closure in pahoa, hawaii. >> reporter: we're hearing what sounds like a fireworks show now, with thunder directly behind us, but it's lava shooting up through a fissure, which is a crack in the earth. there's an orange glow on the horizon. the concern now is new fissures will force the closure of a
7:09 am
scent scent evacuation route. these fissures are popping up almost daily. that's the sound of the impending danger for more residents of the big island of hawaii. at 1,000 feet long, this fissure is one of two that broke through the ground on sunday. spewing lava and toxic sulfur dioxide gas into the air. >> whoa, that one shook the house. >> reporter: self-proclaimed lava chase r ignored strict evacuation orders to live stream this from a neighbor's back porch sunday. >> whoa, incoming. >> reporter: it shows large chunks of molten rock, so-called lava bombs, shooting into the air. some of which actually landed in the backyard. the latest eruptions are on the east end of the line of fissures pointing directly to highway 132. if officials have to close that highway, as many as 2,000 people living in coastal communities below leilani estates in lower puna are going to have a hard
7:10 am
time getting out quickly. here at the pahoa roadblock, residents have taken it upon themselves to feed each other, providing hot meals and supplies. miley, forced out of her home a week ago, is volunteering to help people in need as she waits. >> we live here because we love it and we know part of the life is we live on an active volcano and any day life can change, yeah. >> reporter: she says around her home, the air is so bad, it's nearly impossible to breathe. now, there is the possibility of a steam-fueled explosion of the volcano, which could produce boulders the size of refrigerators, but they wouldn't fall near populated areas and ash would be the real concern. as to when that could happen, nobody really knows, gayle. >> all right, david, the video looks like something out of a movie, thank you so much. reporting from hawaii. secretary of state mike pompeo says the u.s. could be ready to offer security assurances to north korea as
7:11 am
part of a nuclear deal. north korea says it will dismantle its nuclear test side ahead of next month's summit between president trump and kim jong-un. mr. trump welcomed that news as a, quote, very smart and gracious gesture. major garrett is at the white house with the latest on this story, major, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. administration officials fanned out yesterday to describe a new future for north korea. one where the nation emerges from decades of isolation, gains economically from interaction with the united states and pose bring the outside western world. but his administration officials emphasized there will be a cost that will come with the transformation and they hope, they said, north korean dictator kim jong-un is willing to pay it. >> if we get denuclearization, of course they'll be sanctions relief. >> reporter: secretary of state mike pompeo told "face the nation" if north korea is committed -- >> we can create conditions for real economic prosperity.
7:12 am
>> reporter: punishing economic sanctions would be lifted and private american investment could flow into the country. >> you've talked about making it worth north korea's while financially. >> what kim will get from america is our finest, our entrepreneurs, our risk takers. >> reporter: ahead of the president's summit with kim jong-un next month in singapore, north korea announced saturday it will dismantle its nuclear test site in about ten days, destroying its tunnels and removing its observation and research facilities. >> nobody believes that this is easy to do. >> reporter: national security adviser john bolton took a harder line than pompeii grow and said the north still has a lot to the do before sanctions are lifted. >> they're going to have to reveal all of their locations. >> reporter: bolton said the dismantled nuclear weapons will be thrown to a nuclear facility in oak ridge, tennessee, where they will be destroyed. kim jong-un wants a commitment from the u.s.
7:13 am
not to invade. more than 28,000 american troops are stationed in south korea. pompeo said that was under consideration. >> we will have to provide security assurances to be sure. >> reporter: one other bit of news, the three detainees held in north korea who returned to the united states last week were released yesterday from the hospital here in washington and reunited from their families. i can also authoritatively report the north lawn is well mowed and in great shape. >> behind you. they do that early in the morning. let me ask you about another big thing that happened at the white house. the president essentially doing a u-turn over this chinese company zte. why is the president in a tweet talking about saving chinese jobs rather than addressing some lock-standing concerns from the u.s. intelligence community about this chinese company? >> reporter: it is a curious move by any standard, even a trump standard, because the president's rhetoric as a candidate, and as president, has been to emphasize protecting u.s. jobs, not 70,000 jobs in china, which is what his tweet
7:14 am
now, what is zte? it's a very large telecom company. well, the commerce department and justice department recently sanctioned that company, zte, because it violated u.s. sanctions by trading with north korea and iran. and then lying about it. the commerce and justice department said u.s. companies could not sell component parts to zte, threatening its economic future. also, to your point, norah, national security experts in the united states have cautioned american consumers not to purchase phones from zte out of national security concerns. now, the president's tweet essentially ordered the commerce department to review these sanctions, even though there's no legal remedy to do so. and the commerce department said it would take a look at it. the white house this morning is trying to clarify all this, saying only that the president's tweet suggested that commerce secretary ross exercises reasonable judgment and reached
7:15 am
a conclusion based upon facts and applicable law. norah. >> major, thanks. more people are becoming sick from a seminll sam nilly o. the centers for disease control and prevention says at least 35 people across nine states have been infected by the bacteria. hospitals treated 11 victims. anna werner is here with who may be at risk. good morning. >> good morning, john. dozens more cases of salmonella traced to eggs have been reported since the cdc traced the outbreak nearly a month ago. the food and drug administration has linked the outbreak to rose acre farms and the company's facility in north carolina. last month, the company voluntarily recalled more than 206 million eggs. the recalled eggs were distributed between january 11 and april 12 to grocery stains and restaurants in at least nine states. the fda reported during an
7:16 am
inspection they found more than a dozen rodents. they also say employees touched dirty agreement and their bodies without washing their hands. in a statement, rose acre farm says it's not only corrected deficiencies but also taken steps to ensure the farm meets or exceeds the standards of the fda and usda. to see if the eggs you purchased might be recalled, you can visit cbs this morning.com. if it turns out you have recalled eggs, the cdc says don't eat them, either throw them away or return them for a refund. a lot of serious health concerns for people who are elderly, children under age 5 and people with weakened immune systems are really the people who are at risk here. >> a lot of people heading to their refrigerator. >> other people can get really sick. the new report has chilling information on its final moments. on and off search efforts have failed to locate the plane which disappeared with 239 people aboard. more than four years ago.
7:17 am
now, an investigation by an australian tv news program suggests that the pilot deliberately crashed that plane into the indian ocean. kris van cleave looks at the evidence here. kris if true, this is very disturbing, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, gayle. the search continues for the missing boeing 777 but the experts in this "60 minutes" australia report raised the possibility one of the world's greatest aviation mysteries may not have been an accident but instead a possible mass murder/suicide. >> he was killing himself. unfortunately, he was killing everybody else on board and he did it deliberately. >> reporter: "60 minutes" australia brought together an international group of aviation experts who believe the disappearance of malaysian airlines mh-370 was a criminal act by the veteran pilot. reconstructing the flight plane based on military radar and says captain shaw flew along the border of malaysia and thailand
7:18 am
crossing in and out of each country's airspace to avoid detection. >> we know the military did not come intercept the aircraft. >> reporter: hardy also made a strange discovery. he believes captain shaw likely dipped the plane's wing over his hometown. >> somebody was looking out the window. >> why did he want a look? >> it might be a long emotional good-bye or short emotional good-bye. >> reporter: two experts from the "60 minutes" australia investigation also disagreed about the plane entering a death dive with no one in control. >> i think somebody was controlling until the end. >> reporter: they argued instead captain shaw flew up to another 115 miles further than originally thought. >> this was a mission by one of the crew to hide the aircraft as far away from civilization as possible. which puts us way outside the search area. >> reporter: the limited wreckage to date may be further evidence it was not a high-speed crash. >> the front of it would be crushed in. it's hollow. the water would invade inside
7:19 am
and it would explode from the inside out. this piece would not even exist. >> they're chilling. they're very compelling. >> reporter: aviation analyst. >> what i find interesting is the bopilot did this and one of the heinous acts of commercial aviation. >> reporter: pointing a finger towards him does not make them expert investigator, they have to find the plane, norah. >> all right, kris, thank you. it is 7:19. a cloudy start to your work week, especially along the coastline. the marine layer is kicking into the east bay because of the west wind and the orange floor -- the onshore influence means a chance for afternoon storms across the sierra with

♪ welcome back to "cbs this morning" on this monday morning. and guess what, it feels like monday too, doesn't it? >> it does. >> waking up was hard today. here are three things you should know this morning. iran and russia are working to try to save the international nuclear deal that's threatened by the u.s. pullout. the foreign ministers of both countries met this morning. russia confirmed its readiness to respect the agreement with iran. chile's grill and bar is warning about what it calls a data incident that may have exposed customers' payment information. the popular restaurant chain said the potential data breach hit certain locations between march and april this year.
7:31 am
the chain says it has no reason to believe customer information is still at risk. and today marks the start of the national click it or ticket campaign. the national highway traffic safety administration is pushing strong seat belt enforcement and safety education through june 3rd. the effort comes ahead of what's expected to be near record travel for the memorial day weekend. this morning, aaa predicts more than 41 million americans will travel next weekend. that would be the most in 12 years. a large majority, 88%, will travel by car. a missouri man hopes to walk out of prison today after serving nearly two decades for a murder he did not commit. david robinson was kept behind bars even though another man confessed to the crime back in 2004.

one who says he's incident. in february, a state judge agreed with him. two weeks ago, the missouri supreme court ordered his release. yet, robinson remains in prison, which is where we talked to him last week. >> been a living nightmare. it been an up and down roller coaster. >> reporter: in 2001, david robinson was convicted of the murder of sheila box, a 36-year-old mother. she was found in her car a year earlier, dead of a single gunshot wound to the chest. >> i was in disbelief. it changed my world forever. >> reporter: sheila box's daughter was 17 when she lost her mom. >> i have memories of dancing with her in the living room. she was extremely beautiful, loving, caring. >> reporter: police believed robinson, who had a history of drug crimes, shot box during a drug deal. >> it bothered me more than anything to be wrongfully accused of killing a woman. >> reporter: but there was little to tie robinson to the
7:33 am
murder. no physical evidence, just one eyewitness, albert baker, a paid police informant who claimed he saw robinson shoot box at this busy intersection. filmmaker steve turner is working on a documentary about the case. >> there's no three or four witnesses that saw him shoot her. there's nothing. just one guy that had a crazy story. and bam, he's gone. >> reporter: there was also an inmate who claimed robinson confessed to him when they shared a cell. charlie weiss is robinson's attorney. >> turns out he was never in the same cell with david robinson. and the prosecution put him on the stand even though they knew he had never shared the same cell. >> reporter: robinson was sentenced to life without parole, but three years later, the case against him fell apart. another man confessed on tape to a defense investigator that he was the one who sold drugs to sheila box and killed her. >> i told her to throw the money, throw the money and i'm
7:34 am
going to throw her the dope. >> reporter: he panicked when he saw she had a gun. in 2009, he took his own life and robinson remained in prison, even though by then both witnesses who testified against him admitted they had lied. >> i gave false testimony against david robinson. >> reporter: albert baker, the paid informant, had been given $2500 in cash and expenses after he agreed to testify. and still, robinson remained in prison as appeal after appeal was denied. until last february when judge darrell missy ruled the evidence clearly shows that david robinson did not kill sheila box. the conviction should be overturned because the lead detective john blakely used unreliable evidence to convict robinson and ignored or
7:35 am
suppressed facts which pointed away from him. you're still sitting here. how do you explain that to your family? >> i can't. i mean, i get asked that question every day by staff, other offenders. >> reporter: even the daughter still grieving a mother wonders why robinson hasn't been released. >> i believe in my heart that he's innocent, and i stand by him. i lend my support to him. that's how it should be. >> reporter: the state of missouri has until the end of may to either retry robinson or free him. what do you want to do when you get out? what's the first thing you want to do? >> hug my mother. >> the missouri attorney general is scheduled to make an announcement later today. now, we don't know for sure that robinson will be released, but the lead detective resigned last week and with no evidence remaining, it is likely robinson will be allowed to finally go home to hug his mom. >> this is so egregious.

7:37 am
end of this month. he went in when he was 32. yeah, that's a huge part of his life missing. >> let's hope today's the day. critics are trying to pull the plug on a controversial water deal in michigan. adriana diaz explains why nestle is under fire. >> the next bottle of water you drink could come from inside this house. this is one of nestle's wells in michigan. the company plans to increase the amount of water it pumps here, which is reigniting the debate about whether a company should profit from a natural resource. that's coming up on "cbs this morning." and we invite you to subscribe to our "cbs this morning" podcast. you'll get the news of the day, extended interviews, and podcast originals. find them all on itunes and apple's podcast app. you're watching "cbs this morning." ipod apps. you're watching "cbs this morning." ♪ love stinks
