action by the president. >> i have the most progressive record of anybody running or anybody who would run. >> a slip-up from former vice president joe biden. >> anybody that would run. >> officials say after the ethiopian airlines crash, it shows similarities to last night's lion air crash. >> shocking video of a police officer being tradragged by an . >> oh, my god. >> why did the cow cross the road? to get to chick-fil-a, of course. >> is it a promo for chick-fil-a? >> and all that matters. >> let the madness begin. the field of 68 is set in the ncaa tournament. >> the duke blue devils are the number one seed led by freshman zion williamson. >> let's do this. >> on "cbs this morning." >> five seconds to go, tied game, seat belts are fastened. luke williams for the win! >> oh, my goodness! that just happened.

uke will. luke williams. >> i've got chills right now. the guy has the heart of a champion. quite the shot there for the clippers, right? >> i love -- you see steve ballmer doing the happy dance. i love, love, love march madness. >> let the madness begin. welcome to "cbs this morning." on that note john dickerson is off this week. well, historic and deadly flooding has parts of the midwest under water this morning. thousands of people have been evacuated in nebraska and iowa where disaster declarations are in place. heavy rainfall and snow melt have contributing to the waters that have forced the closure of major interstates. >> warnings are in effect for at least a dozen states.

demarco morgan is in eklo, nebraska, one of the communities isolated by the flooding. >> reporter: good morning. this entire area right here was completely under water a couple of days ago. the river behind me crested at 5.5 feet above a 1962 record, but it's the first time that it has passed major flood stage level. water stretches as far as the eye can see. in nebraska, fields and homes are completely submerged. >> i was petrified. you know, i didn't know what -- how fast it was coming up. >> homeowners near the elkhorn river were shocked by the devastation. >> every piece of furniture in the cabin is under water, you know. that's the worst it's ever been since we've been out here. >> reporter: floodwaters shut down roads and highways, totally cutting off the town of fremont. >> we are trapped. can't get in or out of fremont. planes are flying in supplies from all over. >> reporter: the national guard dispatched choppers with sandbags dropping them in high

waters to prevent the flood from spreading. officials say nearly 300 people have been rescued from flooding across nebraska alone. the flooding is an aftershock of last week's bomb cyclone which bombarded the northern plains with blizzard conditions. now rapidly melting snow and rain have engulfed the region with water. before and after satellite images show the magnitude of flooding along the missouri, which damaged dozens of buildings and offut air force base, a third of the facility is reportedly under water. in iowa, the swollen rivers busted over and through levees. his rents of hornick, iowa, were evacuated before the worst unfolded. they were allowed to return sunday for a few hours and assess the damage to their homes. >> the emergency manager that's been in that position for 13 years says he has never seen anything like it. every single levee was overtopped, water coming in from every direction. >> reporter: back here in nebraska, rivers are not expected to go below major flood level until sometime on friday.

in fact video of those rivers are still rising and this area could get another inch of rain come tomorrow. when we talk about the communities in the northern area, states like missouri and kansas, they are now bracing for more flooding to hit in their direction because those rivers are now starting to recede. >> boy, the last thing they need is more rain. thank you very much, demarco. the prime minister of new zealand vows to reform her country's gun laws in response to the worst mass shooting in the country's modern history. 50 people were killed when a gunman opened fire on friday at two different mosques in the city of christchurch of the the 28-year-old targeted muslims because of his white nationalist and anti-immigrant views. this is their largest ever criminal investigation. we are learning the identities of some of those who were killed. the youngest was just 3 years old. it's hard to take in. ben tracy is in christchurch where 31 people remain hospitalized, including nine still in critical condition. ben, good morning to you.

>> reporter: good morning. so this makeshift memorial here in christchurch really has become a focal point for this community that in so many ways is still in shock. we have seen people come here and just stand and stare with tears rolling down their cheeks, wondering how this has happened. they're shocked because new zealand is one of the safest countries in the world and now its government says it needs to do more. >> to make our community safe, the time to act is now. >> reporter: prime minister jacinda ardern says the government has agreed on new gun laws that will be implemented in the next ten days. it's swift action in response to friday's mass shooting but with very few details. >> when australia found itself tragically in a similar position to what we find ourselves now, they took 12 days to make the decision. we have taken 72 hours. >> reporter: she's alluding to what australia did in 1996, after a mass shooting there left 35 people dead. a government-funded gun buyback and a virtual ban on owning semiautomatic rifles cut private

gun ownership by almost a third. australia now has one of the lowest gun murder rates in the world. all five guns used in friday's rampage were purchased legally in new zealand, including two semiautomatic rifles. a gun shop owner said the attacker purchased four guns from him through a police verified online mail order process. but it's unclear if any of those firearms were used in the shooting. this weekend, the alleged shooter was charged with murder. by law his face was blurred. authorities say the australian native acted alone and was not on any terrorist watch list. on monday police searched two homes in australia near where he once lived. >> i heard three clear gunshots. >> reporter: mazharuddin syed amed lost seven of his close friends. you saw your friends get shot and killed. how has this impacted you? >> i can't put it into words.

it's a very close knitted community, you know. it's like we lost all the good people there. >> reporter: now, the two mosques where the shootings occurred remain closed, but police say they hope to have them open by the end of the week. as for the alleged shooter, he apparently has fired his court-appointed attorney and plans to represent himself. the fear is that he will now use his trial as a platform for his white nationalist beliefs. norah. >> all right, ben tracy in new zealand, thank you. the white house is pushing back against accusations that president trump's rhetoric encourages white supremacists, like the man accused in the new zealand mosque shootings. the manifesto purportedly written by the suspect calls the president a symbol of renewed white identity. paula reid is at the white house. paula, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. just hours after the new zealand massacre, president trump downplayed the threat of right-wing violence, reigniting questions about whether or not the president is doing enough to

tamp down extremism. >> donald trump is no more to blame for what happened in new zealand than mark zuckerberg is because he invented facebook. >> reporter: top administration officials took to the air waves sunday to defend president donald trump's response to the new zealand mosque shootings. >> this president is not a white supremacist. i'm not sure how many times we have to say that. >> i do not condone racism, whether it's white supremacists or any type of racism. i am the president's representative. >> reporter: while the president on friday called the attacks monstrous, he also seemed to minimize the rising threat of far-right extremism. >> i think it's a small group of people that have very, very serious problems. i guess if you look at what happened in new zealand, perhaps that's a case, i don't know enough about it yet. >> reporter: in 2017, after a deadly white nationalist rally in charlottesville, virginia, mr. trump said this. >> and you had some very bad people in that group. but you also had people that

were very fine people, on both sides. >> reporter: democratic senator richard blumenthal says the president's words have consequences. >> the public discourse from the president on down is a factor in some of these actions. >> reporter: on sunday, as his own officials were trying to distance him from the mosque shooter, president trump tweeted his support for a fox news host reportedly suspended for anti-muslim comments. >> why not directly address white supremacy and specifically islamophobia? >> i get a lot of questions about -- >> a lot of world leaders did and the president didn't. >> the president communicates in his way. different presidents have communicated in their way. i don't think anybody can claim that donald trump hasn't done exactly what we would want him to do in this circumstance. >> reporter: the anti-defamation league says 2018 was the fourth deadliest year for right-wing violence since 1970. right-wing extremists were linked to approximately 50

murders, a 35% increase over 2017. white supremacists have been linked to shootings at a pittsburgh synagogue last fall, a black church in charleston in 2015 and a sikh temple in 2012. >> those statistics are definitely alarming. paula, thank you. well, president trump spent much of the weekend sounding off on twitter. he fired off about 50 tweets, some lashing out at news media, democrats and the late senator john mccain. the president twice blasted mccain's role in giving a russian dossier with compromising but unproven information to the fbi, and he claimed the senator hoped to distribute a document before the election. but mccain actually provided a copy of the dossier to the fbi in december of 2016 after the presidential election. in a tweet, mccain's daughter, meghan, responded to the president saying no one will ever love you the way they loved my father. and senator lindsey graham, a long-time friend of mccain and close ally of the president tweeted nothing about mccain's service will ever be changed or diminished.

boeing's pilot training is under scrutiny today as investigators analyze data from the ethiopian airlines crash that killed 157 people. cbs news has learned u.s. pilots were given initial training of 56 minutes on an ipad about the differences between the new boeing max planes and the older 737s. we have also found out that new evidence shows similarities between the ethiopian airlines crash and the lion air crash in indonesia back in october. both crashes involved those boeing max jets. kris van cleave is at reagan national airport outside washington with more on this story. it's very disturbing to hear 56 minutes of training on an ipad. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. certainly pilot training will be a big focus of the larger investigations. cbs news has learned that employees at the faa and boeing have been told by federal authorities to retain records having to do with the approval process of the 737 max. we understand that includes at

least one subpoena. now, this as on the other side of the world, the ethiopian transportation minister told reporters early data from the black boxes of flight 302 showed similarities to the crash of another 737 max 8 in october. satellite data also showed the flight patterns between the ethiopian airlines and lion air flights were similar. we've learned similar evidence found at the crash scene in africa leading to the faa grounding of the max included a jackscrew, which helps lower or raise the nose of the plane. it was set in a dive position. in a statement, boeing's ceo says the company is finalizing its development of a software update as well as a revision to pilot training to address concerns stemming from the lion air crash. congress is pledging to investigate the approval process for the 737 max. french investigators were able to fully download the contents of both black boxes from flight 302, including the box that was

damaged. that information has been given to ethiopian investigators. the ethiopians are the lead in this investigation. the ntsb, the faa and boeing are participating, assisting with the investigation. >> the more information we get on this the better, i think. so what are you hearing about how long these max planes will be grounded in this country? >> reporter: well, this could stretch on weeks, possibly months. a lot of it depends on what comes out of the investigation in flight 302. right now we just don't know enough to say if there is anything else that needs to be addressed beyond the software fix that boeing is already working on. boeing is hoping to have that done in as little as a week, but the faa says the planes won't fly until it's been verified to solve the problems. >> kris van cleave, thank you. the democratic presidential field is getting more crowded. new york senator kirsten gillibrand officially entered the race yesterday. other democratic contenders hit the trail this weekend.

another candidate -- >> reporter: former vice president joe biden continues to cast a shadow over the democratic field. over the weekend, the newest guy in the contest, beto o'rourke, faced closer scrutiny but it was a verbal slip-up by biden that caused the biggest stir. >> i'm the most progressive record of anybody running for the -- of anybody who would run. >> reporter: joe biden, addressing delaware democrats saturday night, hinted pretty hard at an announcement expected next month. >> we have to bring this country back together again. >> reporter: it's a matchup president trump told contribution news last year, he'd welcome. >> i dream about biden. that's a dream. >> i'm running with you to serve you as the next president of the united states. >> reporter: meanwhile, newcomer beto o'rourke quickly went from a big start to closer scrutiny. national republicans tweeted this image on st. patrick's day using o'rourke's formal name and

reminding voters of his drunk driving arrest in texas over 20 years ago. >> i make no bones about it. i drove while intoxicated. >> reporter: and o'rourke's fellow democrats took aim at comments he made in a magazine profile. >> in "vanity fair" you said i was born to do this. >> yes. i do feel that i have some ability to connect with people and bring people together. >> reporter: senator amy klobuchar seemed to mock the idea. >> i wasn't born to run for office. just because growing up in the '70s in the middle of the country, i don't think many people thought a girl could be president. >> reporter: yesterday new york senator kirsten gillibrand became the sixth female candidate to enter the race. >> that's why i'm running for president. >> reporter: some of her male opponents, like senator cory booker, addressed the prospect of a female running mate. >> i have my way, there will be a woman on the ticket. >> reporter: now, o'rourke's team says he raised a record-breaking $6.1 million in the first 24 hours of his

campaign. the former texas congressman ranks fifth in a recent poll of iowa democrats. joe biden sits on top of that poll. like we said in the beginning, he's not in yet, but the former veep looms large. >> he's getting in, thank you very much. >> reporter: we'll see. >> you're absolutely right about that. we know which 68 schools are heading to the ncaa basketball tournament for march madness. now it's time for millions of people to fill out their brackets. here are just some of the awesome reactions when teams found out they were going to the dance. ne and their fans celebrated by shooting off confetti. this year's number one seeds are duke in the east. john dickerson's virginia cavaliers in the south, north carolina in the midwest and gonzaga in the west. and a shoutout to university of maryland, i went there. it's a number 6 seed in the east. the first full day of the tournament tips off on thursday. coverage begins right here on cbs at 9:00 a.m. pacific.
