blaine alan gibson one of the men who found it spoke to cnn. >> i just knew when i found it that it possibly could be and that it was important to get it into the hands of the local authorities. >> reporter: u.s. investigators have analyzed the pictures and believe they show a portion of the horizontal stabilizer, a wing-like part of the tail section from a boeing 777. australia is leading the deep-water search and recovery operation spanning 46,000 square mile area in the indian ocean but only one piece of mh-370 has been found, a section of wing known as a flaper washed up on an island in july. >> too early to speak on the original of the debris at this stage. >> reporter: they tweeted about it could belong to mh-370 and days from the anniversary of its disappearance the latest clue is world's greatest aviation >> i don't think we are any

confused than when this thing actually went down almost two years ago. >> reporter: multiple reports say gibson, the man who found this piece, is a wealthy traveler who has been searching for the aircraft, focusing on the indian ocean. he chartered a boat last weekend and found that piece of debris before turning it over to investigators. >> thank you, kris. three suspects in a brazen gun store robbery in texas are under arrest. surveillance video captured the elaborate break-in at the houston store. the raid lasted about two minutes. mark strassmann is at the crime scene as the police hunt other suspects. >> reporter: good morning. the front doors have been replaced but the crime scene tape is still up, because this is where the thieves bashed their way into the gun store and grabbed dozens of weapons on tuesday morning. nothing subtle about this one. .

they rip out of the doors and ten scatter inside wearing hoodies and masks and gloves and grabbing as many guns and rifles as they could carry. it looks like they had something of a plan. you can see one suspect using a hammer to smash through the glass cases holding guns while others follow behind him and stuff them into bags. another suspect seems to target the long guns off that rack behind the counter. they took at least 50 weapons and in a little more than two minutes, they were gone. investigators say the group switched vehicles about a block away and took off into the darkness. this was such a rush job, police found weapons left behind lying on the street outside the story. law enforcement officials say stolen weapons like these are often sold on the black market. criminals buying and selling guns to other criminals. >> you got another criminal element that needs firearms to commit their crimes, sometimes associated with the drug trade or robberies.

there's another disturbing issue -- gun store smash and grabs are becoming more common. >> we are seeing an uptick, not only here in the houston, harris county, area, but uptick across the country. >> reporter: suspects will face federal gun charges. investigators have recovered some of the weapons and hope to get their hands on the rest before they can be used in other crimes. charlie? >> mark, thanks. police in oklahoma are investigating the death of a legendary energy titan. aubrey mcclendon died yesterday in a fiery crash one day after being indicted. he made a fortune as a fracking pioneer but his business is under legal excrete knee. anthony mason is here with questions about his death. >> reporter: on tuesday, the u.s. government charged oil tycoon aubrey mcclendon for conspiracy. one day later, he died behind

energy business by pioneering hydraulic fracturing or fracking. the controversial process of removing natural gas from rocks and described it as a gold mine in an interview with lesley stahl on "60 minutes" in 2010. >> the last two years we have discovered the equivalent of two saudi arabia's of oil in the form of natural gas in the united states. not one, but two. >> reporter: the energy titan made his first billion during the energy boom. and became a part-owner of his hometown nba team, the oklahoma city thunder. but he was also dubbed america's most reckless billionaire by "forbes" magazine in 2011 for his lavish spending and aggressive risk-taking. just two years later, after falling energy prices sent his company's stock plum meting, he was forced out as ceo of chesapeake. police say it could take up to two weeks to complete their investigation. >> but, at this point in time it looks pretty cut and dry as far

>> reporter: mcclendon had been expected to turn himself in and appear before a judge at the oklahoma city federal courthouse yesterday. if convicted, he faced up to ten years in prison and a million dollar fine. soledad? >> anthony, thank you. astronaut scott kelly arrived back in the united states overnight after his record segment 340 days in space. his twin brother mark was among those who welcomed him home in houston. the vice president's wife jill biden was also there. she brought him beer and apple pie! scott kelly spoke about the future of space exploration. >> this mission is the latest achievement in our country's space program. but it's not the last. there will be more. it's in our dna, of our country to explore and we must never stop. >> scientists will study the impact of the mission on kelly's body. the lack of gravity reportedly caused him to grow two inches! >> that is fascinating! >> yeah. >> pressure on the spine. no question. >> just an incredible

why? >> we weren't in a war with donald trump. you know? he was upset with us. we weren't upset with him. i mean, it was -- again, we just wanted to forge forward. >> reporter: in january, things escalated when kelly told "vanity fair" before trump was running for president, he would call from time to time to compliment a segment. kelly added, but i can't be wooed. trump's response to the article? a tweet that said, she is so average in every way, who the hell wants to woo her? >> let's address the elephant not in the room tonight. >> reporter: and just two days before fox's iowa debate, the mogul -- >> when you're treated badly, you have to stick up for your rights. >> reporter: he later admitted that not being on stage may have hurt him at the polls. >> everyone on this stage is stupid, fat, and ugly. and, ben, you're a terrible surgeon. now that we have gotten the donald trump portion out of the way.

named in the suit. he secretly intermediate her nude inside her room and put the video online. >> the corporation who owns the hotel, the owner admitted he watched the video in public this week. neal pesco said the following. rikki klieman is with us. good morning. >> good morning. >> this was a big shocker yesterday. what is the complication he watched the video? >> there is no implication in terms of the jury because the jair didn't hear about it. however the court of public opinion heard about it and erin andrews heard about it, so to erin and to the public it continues to show her damages continue to continue. i wonder if somebody that foolish could be in a restaurant where other people have cell phones and that they would do something like that? but people do all kinds of

>> does it help prove andrews point the video keeps following her and causing her damage? >> only in the court of public opinion, unless, at some point the judge has the witness recalled in front of the jury. the jury distant know this. >> they say she has benefited financially the defense put up yesterday. >> she has made more and more money. on the other hand, emotionally, traumatically, according to her witnesses, her and her father, she has been dramatically damaged for the rest of her life. now the defense has put on a psychological witness who said she's very resilient, she really is doing okay, she's had post-traumatic stress disorder but it's just the mild kind. so maybe she hasn't been so damaged.

>> well, that is really the problem, isn't it? because there is no way to put dollars and cents. this complainant was originally draft as a 10 million dollar complainant. it is now a 75 million dollar complaint. that is a mighty leap. ordinarily, this should take place in the settlement room. why this case was not settled, i think, is a mystery to all of. certainly, there is an insurance policy that the hotel operators, owners and managers have. certainly, she had a number in mind. so was the hotel managers entity and the hotel itself saying, no, we are not going to give her the money? or was the insurance company saying we will take our chance, let her go forward and the money will be reduced, or did she just want to make a point and say i'm going in that public courtroom with a camera in court and, as a

up, 59 saturday, 63 on sunday. welcome back to "cbs this morning." more real news ahead, including 60 republican national security experts denouncing donald trump. former homeland security adviser fran townsend is one of them' she reveals why those officials are speaking out now. first, here's a look at today's "eye opener" at 8:00. romney isn't going to endorse anyone but he is attacking donald trump who is calling it a desperate move. >> donald trump's republican opponents are ramping up efforts to possibly slow or stop his pursuit of the nomination. hillary clinton is leading in four big states that are voting later this month, florida. mh-370 is the only missing 777 and the piece likely came from this section of the

>> the crime scene tape is still up because this is where the thieves bashed their way into the gun store and grabbed dozens of weapons. >> ordinarily, this should take place in the settlement room. why this case was not settled is a mystery to all of us. >> very danger to consumers for meat that didn't have antibiotics in it? >> absolutely none. >> it will transform the food industry. >> scott really arrived back home after 340 days in space. >> nasa provided footage of the landing. it's amazing human beings are able to do this. >> scott kelly back on earth. >> we will make america great again, folks. >> and scott kelly has decided to go back to space. we have liftoff. >> i'm charlie rose with norah o'donnell and soledad o'brien. gayle is off. four republican candidates will gather tonight for a prime

it is their first meeting since donald trump dominated super tuesday. trump has more than one quarter of the delegates to win the nomination but republican leaders are not uniting behind the party'sslear front-runner. many are trying harder than ever to stop him. >> trump says gop leaders should see that he is bringing in millions of voters. in a facebook video, trump says he can bring people together. >> in making deals, even if it's big deals with congress or maybe other countries, it really takes sense. you have to have personality. you have to size up the other side. different. when you're dealing with russia, it may be different than dealing with china. personalities. have you to be able to size them up. you want to make great deals for our country. you have to get people together. >> marquis rubio insists that trump is destroying the republican party and leading to defeat in november. the "miami herald" endorsed the florida senator this morning. it called rubio, quote, the best

this week's "time" magazine cover calls trump a, quote, bully, showman, party-crasher and demagogue and possibly the 45th president of the united states. >> mitt romney plans to say today trump doesn't have the temperament nor the judgment to be president. fiery speech romney plans to make this morning in utah. he says, quote, donald trump is a phony, a fraud. his promises are as worthless as a degree from trump university. he is playing the american public for suckers. he gets a free ride to the white house and all week get is a lousy hat. trump hit back this morning on twitter writing, quote, why did mitt romney beg me for my endorsement four years ago? >> the cracks in the republican party go beyond politicians. 62 national security experts signed a scathing open letter opposing trump. the letter calls trump's vision of american power an influence,

and unmoored in principle and he swings from isolationism to military adventurism to within the space of one sentence. fran townsend is one who wrote the letter and former security adviser to president george w. bush. she joins us this morning. >> good morning. >> why are you writing this now? why didn't you write this six months ago or a year ago when donald trump first began this campaign? >> you know, charlie, i can't speak for the other significant take torres on the letter. you wanted the political process to play out some. and, frankly, you know, having taught my sons to be polite and to listen to the views of others, i didn't expect that sort of the rhetoric of donald trump would resonate with so look. frustration. my children don't feel like they have the same opportunity to better themselves than i did when i was growing up. and so there is a very real

but it doesn't justify some of the sort of incendiary rhetoric that trump engages in and, frankly, the bullying. >> the bottom line you say you cannot support him for president because he would be dangerous in the white house. >> that's right. look. we have arab allies in the middle east we disagree with them often on many topics but we need them in the war on terror against enemies like isis and al qaeda in the ararian pense ianian peninsula. we alienate the people we need to protect the citizens of the united states. >> donald trump said that months ago. he said it and he was asked about it on debate stage. there have been a number of debates. none of the other republican candidates have been able to convince those voting that that is dangerous. what difference is a letter going to make? >> well, look. it may not make any difference but, you know, i really do think that people with the background and expertise who have

trump hasn't ever had the experience in terms of having to get something done in terms of foreign policy. the people who signed this letter have and they do understand what it takes. this is not a real estate deal. and so i do think that his rhetoric and this wild sort of pillared post sort of foreign policy of his is dangerous to the american people. >> okay, fran, specifically, he says the enemy is cutting off the heads of christians and drowning them in cages and, yet, we are too politically correct to respond in kind. donald trump says torture works. >> well, look. if he is suggesting that we ought to be beheading people, i don't think there is anybody, republican or democrat, who would support such a thing. i mean, it's just ludicrous to me. and i don't -- this, i do not understand. i don't -- and i don't believe that the american people would support a policy of beheading because that is what our enemies are doing. >> fran, there is a fear, that would, listen, he is saying

him nominated, get him voted in by the public and that he doesn't necessarily mean these things and he could back off of them. do you give any credit to that theory? >> soledad, i'm a great believer the presidents go through a maturing process and the primary to get the nomination is a hyperpolitical one. but what you want to hear are real ideas. i understand that this is the political season. so do our allies around the world. but you also expect there is an exchange of ideas and debate on the substance as opposed to what has happened which is name calling and it's just not helpful. >> are you suggesting it goes beyond in contrast to anybody who has ever run for president? >> that's right, charlie. i think is there a judgment and temperament issue here. donald trump up to now, up to soledad's point, up to now, he has sort of shown himself not to have the judgments and temperament. can that change? perhaps. i hope it does but we haven't

it's not about the money we don't need your money we are heading this morning into the busy season for home sales in january. about a third of the homes on the market in january sold in less than a month. the median price rose more than 8% year over year because of low inventory and high demand but that doesn't mean you can relax. if you're looking to sell, cbs news business analyst jill schlesinger is here this morning. how was last year and this year

selling your home? >> last several years good recovery. this pretty much tracks with the recovery in the jobs market. people feel more confident and we also know that lending standards a little bit easier. it's still tough to get a mortgage but it is easier. we know that people have more confidence in buying a home when they feel more secure economically. >> lots of good news? >> yes. that said, there is a bit of a problem right now which is we have got low inventory. just not a lot of houses on the market. and that pushes prices up. great if you're a seller, but not so good if you're a buyer. >> when you hear maybe i should sell my house but you say first thing to think about are the tax implications. >> right. a lot of people may have owned their homes for decade and they sell their homes and don't realize, oh, no! i have a big capital gains tax due. not everybody. you're lucky if you do, obviously. but check that out. i also want to be very clear. a lot of people are thinking about downsizing. >> but if you have a -- >> actually not. you have to pay your capital

house two of the last five years. so you can't push it forward unless it's a rental property so you have to pay the capital gains tax. the most important thing also to recognize if you're looking to downsize, you've got that capital gain. you may not actually see any real savings by downsizing. i think a lot of people fall into a trap i want to go to a place with nice amenities but actually, it's not that so cheap to do so. >> how do you choose a real estate agent? >> you got to get a lot of people in the house. this is very important. most people get a referral. it's a friend, right? no. you want to get at least three people to come in. they are going to do a competitive market analysis. what do you want to know? you want to know does this person have experience in your neighborhood and your price range? does this person have a digital plan for helping to sell your house and marketing plan? and what kind of social media presence does this person have? because you know what? you want to attract first-time home buyers and a lot of them are looking social as a way to look at a home. i like using realtors. i think it's smart. i think you have to be very careful about choosing the right

>> how do you know what to price your home at? >> you're going to rely on the realtor but if you want to do a little intelligent work beforehand you go online and you look at the competitive market and see what else is out there in your neighborhood. now, you don't want to fool yourself, okay? this is so important. because how you price this house may actually lead to the success of selling. realtors tell me that if the price is too high, you spook investors and you spook those would-be buyers and they get very anxious. they don't come back. if you have not sold that house or gotten a bite in, say, three to four weeks, you may want to consider dropping the price. >> or switching agents? >> i don't know about switching agents. i want it to be clear. i think a lot of people hire realtors but then they don't take their advice and let their own emotions get in the way. what you think is charming your realtor may say it's not charming, it's a dump! listen to that person and be careful and price accordingly.

"cbs this morning" became the first television program to broadcast live from the top of one world trade center back in may. it was fun, wasn't it, charlie? >> great day. >> now take a look down below and just hours, the next big step in moving the halllowed ground forward is designed to get commuters moving. the new transportation hub is already facing some backlash. one former official in charge of the project calls it a symbol of success. a "the new york times" critic describes it as a boondoggle. michelle miller is there and outside this massive structure that is just across from the 9/11 memorial in lower manhattan. what say you, michelle? good morning. >> reporter: good morning. 15 years ago, the area i'm standing in was just an empty pit. and in the years since the 9/11 attacks have been a painful and slow rebuilding process. the latest structure to go up,

been both a feat in engineering and a lesson in expectations. it's called oculus. 15,000 tons of steel reaching more than 25 stories tall. famed architect santiago designed it to design a bird rising and it will hub seven railway lines and official estimate 250,000 commuters every day. what first struck you about this design? >> i really like the interior space the best, actually. >> reporter: paul goldberger is a contributing architecture critic for "vanity fair. >> it should be building buildings for people. it's noise to arrive in a city that gives you a lift. i think those great moments are sort of like the exclamation point in the city. >> reporter: as much as places like this help downtown war back to life, it's not without its controversy. this structure is billions over budget and at least five years

when the hub's design was first unveiled in 2004, officials estimated it would cost around $2 billion. but after rush design changes, water leaks, and superstorm sandy in 2012, the finished product will cost almost twice as much, coming in at $3.9 billion. the hub's governing body, the port authority of new york and called the project challenging but added it will serve a valid transportation need for the region while becoming a very important landmark. >> it was a very, very ambitious, difficult design. yes, it cost a lot. yes, probably it should have cost somewhat less. but, in fact, exciting innovative architecture is forever. >> reporter: officials are hopeful this landmark will also prove to be an economic engine.

potential 2,000 feet of potential real estate space. >> this was a public mall before 9/11 and in fact, a public shopping center. >> reporter: is that a feat, in and of itself, that this is finished? >> i think it's an extraordinary feat. you feel the life of the city has come back to this 16 acres again in a way it hadn't been for a long time. >> reporter: this hub is only partially opening today. several more corridors will be opening in later weeks. officials here didn't want a huge unveiling. although the commuter paper has it as fronts page news, there will be a very small ribbon cutting later this afternoon. soledad? >> it's beautiful, i think. >> beautiful and like it inside but all kinds of complications in getting a building like that, security an other things. many parents believe video games turn their kids into a coach potato but it kit help their kids lose weight?

that is related to movement control. familiar activities like practicing crosswords are or training for marathons did not produce the same benefit. this presidential campaign is historic on many levels. the last month alone provided memorable headlines for papers like "the new york times." the newspaper itself became part of the story. on friday, "the times" published a front page article will foreign workers at trump's palm beach club. trump responded with a warning. >> we will open up the libel laws when "the new york times" writes a piece that is disgrace or "the washington post" is there for other reasons writes a hit piece, we can sue them and win money instead of having no chance of winning. >> buzzfeed on monday broke the story of off-the-record meeting between trump and "the times" editorial board. at issue whether that conversation undermined trump's standing on his defining mission.

trump's rivals are demanding he allow "the times" to release the audio of the meeting. we are pleased to have an editor of "the new york times" here. >> i thought you were going to ask me about juggle. >> or "the times" crossword puzzle. >> what exactly happened here? editorial board meeting. you're not a part of that board but you were there. >> i usually don't go and i asked to go this time and i asked to go frankly, because i had not seen donald trump in 20 years. and i thought it would be interesting to see him. so andy rosenthal and his good graces, let me go. it's -- the reason be, you know, for the record why these are off-the-record, candidates come in and pitch "the times" to endorse them. they are open, free-willing conversations. by the way, this is the only one i've ever been to.

leaked out, which, to be frank, is unfortunate, because off-the-record conversations -- >> we are assuming it came from somebody at "the times"? >> i have no idea, to be honest. there were 30 people in the room, including donald trump's people. it got talked about in the newsroom. that is probably not a good thing. i may have even talked about it, to be frank. that probably not a good thing. on the other hand, i think it's much to do about nothing. i think that when 30 people sit in a room and talk to donald trump, who is a very vocal guy, and it ends up -- details of it end up leaking out -- >> yeah, but the point is, was it reported that he said on his -- one of his important issues of building of the wall, did he actually say -- i'm not serious about that -- just saying that? >> i'm going to pass on what was said in the room because i'm going to honor -- >> that is the point. >> i know, but i'm going to honor the of-the-record that the

>> but, dean, it wasn't entirely off-the-record. >> right. >> i mean, i wonder whether "the new york times" made a mistake because it wasn't entirely off the record. he said something about terror flaws and then went back and said can we put this on the record and that got put on the record. according to your own public editor -- >> yeah. he asked that some things be put on the record. trump did. so he opened the door. he said i'm happy to talk about some things on the record and we want it to be off the record. >> to be clear, if donald trump were to say today to put the whole thing on the record, would "the new york times" comply? >> that would be andy rosenthal's call. >> would he report it? do you think a good idea? clearly this is something that everybody is trying to figure out what exactly he said and if he is reversing -- >> i would support what andy says today. >> a little bit of a dodge? >> a little bit of a dodge. to be frank, even though i was present and i agreed to the circumstances, it wasn't my meeting. if i it hod it over again, by the way, i probably shouldn't go

>> i went to this one, to be frank, because i was a journalist andive dying to hear what he said. >> i don't understand why you don't call him up and say i'd like to sit down with you. you're the editor of "the new york times" and talk about your candidacy. you don't need an editorial board meeting to do that. >> our reporters do that. he is not shy about talking. >> you said you wanted to go to the meeting to meet the candidate. >> but i wanted to go to the meeting to see the show. i'm a journalist. i wanted to go to the meeting to see the show. i wanted to go to the meeting to see what donald trump looked like in front of the editorial board of "the new york times," which he has a love/hate relationship with. on the one hand, he is a new york figure and like a lot of new york figures, he trashes "the new york times" in public. but he is deeply respectful of "the new york times" in private. i wanted to see that show. that is a different show than being on the phone with him. and i couldn't resist. >> can we talk about the business of "the new york times" and the future of the newspaper,

what has to be done to transform "the times" for the tutor? >> i actually think -- i think this is a large issue. and a lot has been done. i think "the new york times" -- "the new york times" making it to the future, which i'm convinced it will, is one of the most important stories in american journalism. "the new york times" is making a very powerful bet, and most other news organizations have not made the bet, and the bet goes like this -- we will make it to the future as a high-quality journalistic institution without compromise, without slipping into gossip. so that is -- this is an interesting, i think, historical bet, and what will it take to do that? it will take, first, sticking to our guns. we will cover big ambitious stories in big ambitious ways and we have already embraced new technology and new ways to tell

times." >> i know one of the investments that you're making is virtual reality story telling. tell us a little bit more about as they were showing me this this morning that on -- you click on these stories and essentially see 360. >> yeah. >> you can see that. this is terrific stuff, i think. virtual reality is happening. >> yeah. this is it. what is the feedback? >> 500,000 have downloaded our virtual reality app and more than a million people have looked at virtual journalist. it's a great way to tell stories. >> what are we looking here? this is the border? >> you are looking at a film that was made in conjunction with a magazine piece in which a border patrol guard was accused of killing a kid who was on the other side of the fence. and it's just a very powerful story. but what virtual reality brings -- >> like you're there. >> i'm going to say, this is a very good demonstration.

>> the border patrol agent, who has been charged with a crime, his claim was that -- was that the kid threw a rock over the fence. if you look at the fence in virtual reality and you see how high it is and you see the openings in it, the story is unbelievable. >> great. >> really brings you there and knowing where you are and knowing the distance and things like that. >> one of the most powerful examples of virtual reality was the one where we set the virtual reality team, we sent them, i can't remember, the iowa caucuses or the primary and you were in the donald trump rally. for the first time, i sat there and said, no wonder he thinks he can win. it was like -- >> very powerful. >> it was huge! it was powerful. >> so nice to see you. thanks for talking to us and thanks for the demonstration. ahead another kind of video. can video games help in the fight against childhood obesity? >> i'm jamie wax.
