are at stake. monday, the clinton campaign rejected an invitation to debate sanders in california so she can focus on facing off against donald trump in november. >> i was disturbed but not surprised to hear a few hours ago that secretary clinton has backed out of the debate. [ booing ] >> mr. trump likes to say i'm playing the woman card. you know what i say, if fighting for equal pay and paid family leave and raising the minimum wage and affordable childcare is playing the woman card, then deal me in! >> reporter: clinton's once commanding lead over trump in a hypothetical matchup has all but evaporated. trump now leads in one national poll and is neck and neck with clinton in another. trump hosted senate foreign relations chairman bob corker at his home monday. >> my sense is that he will
4:03 am
evolve. >> reporter: trump will get closer to locking up his party's nomination tuesday when washington state votes. mark albert, cbs news, the white house. >> coming up on "cbs this morning," we'll talk with donald trump's campaign manager. this morning, president obama called for human rights improvements in vietnam, something he said was a requirement for that country's success. the president spoke at the national convention center in hanoi. he also talked about the post-war partnership between the u.s. and vietnam, which he said is thriving. today mr. obama travels from hanoi to ho chi minh city, formerly known as saigon. and today the threat of severe weather, including strong thunderstorms and possible tornadoes remains across the plains. severe thunderstorm watches and warnings and flash flood watches are posted in kansas, texas, and oklahoma. last night a tornado touched down in rural northwest oklahoma. no injuries or damage reported

with a background in prosecuting corrupt cops had the courage to go against public opinion. >> reporter: officer nero teared up after the verdict was read, while outside the courthouse emotions were also running high. >> no justice! >> people want justice, but i think we still have to let the process work. i think that some things were said to make me feel that some next cases might be done differently. >> reporter: six baltimore police officers have been charged in the arrest and death of gray. the officer who was driving the van faces the most serious charges, second-degree murder. craig boswell, cbs news, baltimore. the supreme court threw out the death sentence imposed on a georgia inmate because prosecutors improperly kept african-americans off the jury. timothy foster, a black man, was convicted in 1987 of murdering a white woman. he was convicted by an all-white jury in a 7-1 decision the court ruled that prosecutors were
4:07 am
motivated in substantial part by race when they kept african-americans from the jury pool. the ruling means foster will probably be able to get a new trial. and this morning an unexplained discrepancy concerning the final moments of egyptair flight 804. a senior egyptian aviation official says the egyptair flight did not swerve and change direction before it disappeared. the head of the state-run provider of navigation services says the jet was flying at 37,000 feet, and there was no unusual move. now, that contradicts an earlier report from greece's defense minister, who said the jet swerved and dropped 10,000 feet before it vanished. egyptian aviation records show the same a-320 made an emergency landing in 2013 with an overheated engine. and a french ship capable of hearing the underwater signal from flight data recorders has joined the search. toyota is recalling 1.6 million vehicles because of
