morning." vladimir duthiers of our digital network cbsn is with us. glad to have you. >> glad to be here. >> charlie rose is on his way back from an interview. we'll show you the interview. first new includes about the deliberate crash of germanwings flight 9525. the co-pilot was mentally illinois. . >> the french prosecutor said lubitz locked the pilot out of the cockpit and steered the jet toward the ground. all 150 people on board were killed. allen pizy is in the hometown. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. essentially investigators here are looking for their own black box clues as to what exactly was triggered into what's characterized as an unthink aboutable of suicide and mass

murder. police searched lubitz's home took away bags of seized items looking for clues as to what might have triggered the act. at one point during his training lubitz was allegedly treated for severe depression but it apparently did not affect his work or flight training. he had not only fulfilled all the medical test bus the training. he was 100% air-worthy without any restrictions. he was an active young man who liked to jog and spend time on social media. his passion began at this gliding club. i only got to know lubitz as a nice friendly open human being. he began his training in 2008. he spent five months at luf

lufthansa lufthansa's training center in arizona. he told us how it was in america, how he did his training there, and he seemed to be very open and happy that he made it that far. stunned neighbors in his hometown can't understand what made him go a fatal step further. lubitz reportedly took a six-month break from training in 2009 because according to media reports quoting former classmates, he was feeling burned out. vlad? >> allen pizzey thanks. france's prime minister called on germanwings to reveal everything it knows about lubitz. this flight was traveling barcelona, spain, to dusseldorf germany, when it went down. elizabeth palmer is near the crash site. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. it's a little windy in the french alps but brilliant

sunshine which is going to help in the recovery effort. it's still in its initial stages though. it's going to take weeks to complete. the search team is once again on the mountainside, some in climbing gear because the slope is so steep. the red flags mark human remains. but the team is collecting everything including minute pieces of the plane, crucial evidence not only for the airline's accident investigation but for the criminal inquiry which is still being treated as manslaughter. the second black box which would have recorded all flight commands from the cockpit still has. been found. many victims' family members gathered for a ceremony. the flags of each of their home countries on display. a government spokesman described the gathering as a powerful moment when relatives truly understood that their beloved

family members were really dead. among the dead three americans including yvonne sell kerr and her daughter emily who were on vacation. and robert oliver a u.s. citizen and a father who was living and working in spain. so far they have not been flown over the crash site itself. still shocked and grieving they're now struggling to accept the catastrophe that killed their loved ones is looking like an act of mass murder. based on this strong circumstantial evidence that the co-pilot really did crash the plane deliberately when the pilot had left the cabin, some european airlines have already changed their procedure to mirror what happens in the states, and that is when a pilot or a co-pilot leaves the cockpit for any reason another crew member goes inside so there's never only one person in there at any given time. norah? >> a significant change.

elizabeth palmer. thank you. he's a former fbi agent. it's believed that egyptian jet was deliberately brought down by the co-pilot. ken, good morning. >> good morning, norah. >> a lot to talking here first. officials in germany say they've made a significant discovery in the home of this co-pilot. what are authorities looking for now? >> well, they're looking for everything. they're peeling back that onion proverbally to try to understand mr. lubitz's entire persona, his entire life his medical records, physical health mental stability, is there any history of medication that they might find in the house, documentary evidence, digital evidence. you name it they're looking for every possible clue that would unravel this mystery. >> it seems so iran thank this system that was set up in place to keep the bad guy oust the

cockpit has now turned out very tragically and the bad guy was, in fact in the cockpit. but you still think this is a good system do you not? >> yes, i do. keep in mind the needs to protect that cockpit at all costs. ironically there is some irony here but the procedure that is used in the united states which has been very useful and successful in having that second person up front when a pilot or co-pilot leaves not only affords with recollect to security an extra measure but with respect to safe tiff should that pilot that remains or co-pilot that remains become incapacitated with stroke heart attack, whatever the case may be to have a human being up there to sound the alarm. it's mitigating. is it 100% fool proof, no. >> but it works very well. >> in the united states yes. >> flight 990, the pilot also crashed it into the see.

what are the similarities with that crash and this one? >> certainly there was a parallel investigation with the ntsb. the cockpit voice recorder was key in determining the possible cause of that tragedy. that's very similar. >> do you worry about copy cats here? >> not necessarily. i think it's important for the flying public to understand that the overwhelming majority of the pilots are professional people who do their job well every day to make people safe. not necessarily a copy cat -- it's being done obviously not only airlines but governmental authorities u u.s. and foreign, have to take another look at the procedures regarding mental health and updating it during annual physicals. what additional measures can be taken. because we learn everything from these tragedies, we do take away a lot of important facts that we can have effective change. and that's one of the issues. certainly policies regarding the

physical requirements and the health requirements. >> ken maxwell, thank you so much for your analysis. >> thank you. we're going to take a closer look at the screening for pilots in united states. jeff pegues shows us if it protects the public. that's ahead on "cbs this morning." now, charlie rose's new interview with syria's president, bashar al assad. they're meeting thursday in damascus came amid reports of a new chlorine gas attack where as many as six people may have been killed. but he pushed back that his regime is using chlorine gas. it was shot by syrian people at the request of syrian tv. nothing was off interview when it came to charlie's questions. >> 90% of the civilian casualty casualties 90% come from the syrian army.

>> how did you get that result? >> that was a report that was issued in the last six months. >> okay. as i said before it's not the traditional war. it's not about captured land and winning land. it's about winning the hearts and minds of syrians. we cannot win their hearts and minds while killing syrians. we cannot sustain four years in a position as government and me as president while the great powers are against me and the people are against me. that's impossible. this has no leg to stand on this is not realistic and against our government to kill the people. what do we get? what's the benefit of killing the people? >> the argument is there are weapons of war that most people look down on with great. one is chlorine gas. they believe it has been used

here. they said there is evidence of that and they would like to have the right to inspect and see where it's coming from. as you know barrel bombs have been used and they come from helicopters and the only people who have helicopters is the syrian army. so those two acts of war, the society looks down on as barbaric acts. >> let me tell you this is propaganda. >> it can be weaponized. >> no, because it's not very effective. that's very self-evident. traditional arms are more important than chloride and if it was very effective, the terrorists would have used this on a larger scale. because it's not effective -- >> why not let somebody come in and inspect it to see if it was used or not. >> we -- >> you'd be happy for that.

>> of course. we want them to come no and investigate. but obviously it can't be used as part of the mill tai. there's the chloride gas. >> he said he's open to a dialogue but isn't hearing anything from washington. secretary of state john kerry raised the question with margaret brennan. watch "60 minutes" on sunday with more of charlie's interview with president assad. this morning two men are accused in trying to join isis and plan an attack in the united states. 22-year-old hasan edmonds and 29-year-old jonas edmonds were arrested. hasan told an undercover fbi

informant they wanted to storm the base with grenades. this morning investigators believe gas leak is the likely cause of a devastating explosion in new york city that left three building destroyed. 19 people were hurt. four of them critically. it sparked a seven-alarm fire that ranked out of control. jericka duncan is near the scene. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. you can see the streets are still blocked off as fire crew continue tofire fight hot spots in that area and look for any signs of life. that's because one person is still accounted for this morning. at least 250 firefighters were to put out the raging fire which sent a pillar of smoke hovering above the city. in a matter of minutes one of the buildings came tumbling down on live television. >> now the building is collapsed. >> reporter: witnesses reported hearing a loud boom around 3:00

thursday afternoon. the powerful explosion blew the facade after one of the buildings. bystanders captured video showing the injured helping others. this one climbed up a fire escape to help someone. ing. >> we have two people with burns and another person who had become unconscious following the event and was declared in krit cat condition. >> 23-year-old nicholas figueroa is missing. members of his family say he was in a sushi restaurant located inside one of buildings when the explosion happened. college student peter menchini was in school. he said all of his belongings are in there. >> reporter: city officials say private contractors were doing some gas and plumbing work in

one of the buildings. >> con ed arrived at the site earlier for a separate reason entirely, found the work to be unacceptable, gave instructions as to what work was needed and that was an our or more before the explosion. >> reporter: early indications suggest that gas leak is to blame. some people in this neighborhood reported that they smelled gas before the explosion happened although the city's mayor bill de blasio said there were no incidents reported to the city. he did tell people in this area that it is imperative for them to call 911 if they smell any gas. gayle? >> always good advice. thank you, jericka. prosecutors are are expected to rest their case in the boston marathon bombing trial nenlt week. now, they resemble those featured in an al qaeda magazine

one who was getting a kidney. >> but they did. i just wanted them to have that quality of life. i wanted their loved ones to know that they're going to be around. >> zooly's gift set off a medical chain reaction. her kidney went to a 26-year-old factory worker. his sister-in-law donated to a 52-year-old dental assistant and so on. the result was 12 surgeries and six new kidneys. before meeting, the only thing the donors had in common was that they all wanted desperately to save a loved one but couldn't. >> as years goes on it just puts a toll on the family. >> as norma rodriguez struggled with kidney disease, her 21-year-old son hoped he could save her life. >> what did you think when you realized you weren't a match? >> all the bad thoughts come to mind. >> there was an option. a kidney swap between donors who weren't a match for their loved

fast tracked coordinated in three weeks with urgency to get it done before anyone or anything broke the chaen. >> what really worries us is the unexpected, if one of the 12 patients developed a cold, you know, the night before that could have thrown the whole thing off. >> something that little? >> yeah. >> reporter: finding a donor match is complex which is why david jacobs designed this computer program. his inspiration came when he received a kidney transplant years ago at the very same hospital. >> instead of dying i lived and was able to build the software to help other people. >> we all have something to give and we make a choice as to what that may be but everything matters. >> the choice zooly brassard made saved oswaldo padilla's life. >> do you feel a connection to her? >> she's part of my family now.

subjects and dig inside people. she told me that would have a great value in my life and it did. >> his grandma encouraged his curious mind. >> i think that we all absolutely have curiosity. it brings about knowledge. it's energizing spiritually empowering, makes us more interesting as people. >> reporter: for 0 years brian grazer has written notes to ask them to what what he call as curiosity conversation. he's talked to scientists politicians, artist entrepreneur rifts, oprah winfrey, henry kissinger. his new book "a curious mind" published by simon and schuster is less about the people but what he saw. >> why did you decide to write a

imagine a flash mob in a public space with dancing old ladies and then imagine this that that very scene is creating controversy, yep controversy in parts of china. but this morning the government may be backpedaling from its plan to step up unity within its country. seth doane is in beijing with the fancy footwork. seth, can't wait for this. good morning. >> reporter: good morning to you. yes. it's been quite a week for these amateur dancers who for a while believed the chinese government was going to step in and make them learn new routines. they're nicknamed dancing grannies. they wheel portable speakers into parks and plazas after dinner and dance. it's part socializing, part

sport, and can be quite a speck take cal. but the neighbored are not always so enamored. noise is such a nuisance that in some cities neighbors have gone on the offensive trying to disperse dancers with attack dogs counterintuitively blasting messages about noise pollution, even installing metal parking lot locks. it seems the overenthusiasm has dealt public dancing a harmful blow with disputes over noise and venues. earlier this week the chinese government announced it's rolling out 12 state sanctioned square dance routines they will be nationally unified and scientifically arranged. here's a peek at little app ple

one of the approved songs. state certified trainers will travel the country teached the new moves. i think it's reasonable to introduce a proper standard for square dancing. it should be enjoyed in a neighborhood that doesn't bother the lives of other people. >> many dancers were not as pbeat and saw the communist party as an unwelcome dance partner. the same official who earlier championed the new steps back pedalled this week and said the era of people practicing the same dance is over. >> the government is now backpedaling and saying these new routines are a suggestion and these dancing grannies can vote with their feet and dance any way they like. in fact the first city to be receiving these new dances is the northern city of harbin better known for its ice festival, but now, vlad, there's

this. >> how are you doing this with a straight face? how are you doing this story with a straight face? >> i'm not. i've been laughing at the whole thing. >> we've been cracking up. granny is trying to get her groove on. >> a reminder of why you're glad you live in america. >> for sure. >> refreshing. >> in beijing. thanks, seth. the most unforgettable moments of the week are next. you're watching "cbs this morning."
