holly, cousin holly, finally you're here on the show. at it for several years now, starting with the d.c. office. >> yes. >> now you're running the whole thing. how does poetry fit in the mix of what you're doing at america scores? >> america scores, we do soccer, we do poetry, we do community service. it's really important during after school to -- you don't have a lot of time. so you have to choose a few things and do it really well. and as there's less opportunity for arts and creativity in schools, we're providing that for thousands of children across the country. >> xavier, what is your favorite thing you do with america scores? >> well, my favorite thing i like to do in america scores is play soccer and play the soccer games because i get to learn about soccer and also i get to quick the ball around, play a little bit, and also just have a great time. >> yeah, i've known about it for a while, and everything i always see i always see the soccer balls being kicked around at america scores. i didn't know you were doing so much poetry.

>> no. >> pelley: well, they don't talk to holly williams, but we will. holly, i have a question. the population in eastern ukraine, it's not as heavily ethnic russian as crimea. what is the popularity, if you will, of the idea of joining russia there? >> reporter: well, scott, around three-quarters of people in this region are russian speaking and many of them look back with nostalgia to when ukraine was part of the soviet union. many of those people want closer ties with moscow, but others are to support ukraine's western- backed government and would be angry if russia invaded. >> reporter: thank you, holly. sherpas who guide climbers up mt. everest are threatening a boycott today after at least 13 sherpas died in an avalanche last week. they're demanding more money for the families of those killed. buddhist monks prayed at a funeral today. hundreds lined the street as bodies were taken for cremation. a stowaway survived in the wheel well of a jetliner flying from california to hawaii, and the president turns storyteller and chief when the cbs evening news continues. storyteller

holly, the u.s.saying the russians are behind this, have you seen any evidence of russian forces? >> we haven't seen anyone we could positively identify as russian. and there simply hasn't been the kind of large-scale russian military intervention we saw in crimea. however, nato said there are thousands of russian troops along ukraine's border and some here look like they were well coordinated by someone. >> pelley: holly, thanks very much. as if the tensions couldn't get higher today, the u.s. military said a russian fighter jet made 12 close passes near an american destroyer in the black sea. this happened saturday off the coast of rumania. the russian jet did not respond to warnings by the "u.s.s. donald cook," the plane appeared to be unarmed. called provocative and unprofessional. today, for the first time a robot submarine scoured the bottom of the indian ocean for plain flight 370, it's looking for several things heard that may have come from the flight recorders. the batteries on the pingers

holly williams is in donetsk in eastern ukraine. holly, what are the ukrainians make of these russian military moves? >> reporter: well, scott, ukraine's leaders see them as blatant intimidation. the country's prime minister accused russia today of wanting to start world war iii by occupying ukraine militarily and politically. but what's not clear is whether this perceived intimidation is having much effect inside ukraine. the country's government said today that it's going to mount a blockade to cut off reinforcements to a separatist- held town just near here but that doesn't seem to have happened and there was no fighting that we know of today between government troops and the separatists but we just don't know whether that's a result of threat from moscow. >> pelley: holly williams, thank you, holly. >> pelley: with president obama in south korea tonight, north korea announced it is holding a u.s. citizen. the man, believed to be named matthew todd miller, entered north korea two weeks ago on a tourist visa, then reportedly tore

we have so many issues in holly court.robably not going to work. my biggest concern is for our residents as well, as far as our residents are already isolated in living in public housing. our residents don't have a voice in this here. if you ask how many appeared in the vision program, maybe 10. we have to start informing our residents about what is going on. so they will have the proper rights. as far as the employees, we are very concerned about our jobs, which is definitely totally important to us. and more than that we are concerned about our residents as far as the services they will receive. we are with them every day, and so we are very concerned about that. i think that's it. >> thank you. next speaker. >> good afternoon, my name is sabrina cheeks, i work at the housing voucher program. i have worked there 20 years. i am here about the rad program, and i understand that it's important to implement to improve the housing conditions for the tenants. but we know that our jobs will be eliminated. and we are rushed into

>> pelley: holly williams is joining us now. holly, how does the standoff end? >> reporter: scott, the separatists are adamant they won't leave until they get what they want. but on the other side tonight, ukraine's acting president has called for a resumption of what he describes as antiterrorist operations opinion now. that could mean trying to force the militants out of that building. >> pelley: we'll check in with you again tomorrow, holly. thank you very much. and tomorrow, vladimir putin will celebrate russia's annexation of crimea with a specially minted silver coin. that's his image on the front, a map of the crimean peninsula is on the back. the coin weighs more than two pounds. only 25 will be produced. most will go to putin's top staff. late today, president obama flew to oso, washington, which was buried last month by deadly mud slides. this is marine one, the president's helicopter, flying over the debris. he met later with families of the victims. at least 41 people were killed. two are still missing. and john blackstone is in oso. >> reporter: a m

thank you very much, holly. well, ukraine may have been on president obama's mind today, but he was beginning a trip to the far east, first stop, japan. he was welcomed to tokyo by the new u.s. ambassador, caroline kennedy. then, mr. obama joined japan's prime minister at a famous sushi restaurant. they'll hold more talks tomorrow. from japan, the president will travel to south korea, malaysia, and the philippines. the administration announced today that it will complete the sale of ten apache attack helicopters to the military dictatorship in egypt. it's a reward for egypt keeping its peace agreement with israel, but this is the same dictatorship that overthrew egypt's only democratically elected government. in cairo, clarissa ward caught up with some of the die-hard activists who are still pressing for democracy. >> reporter: they were among the first waves of protesters in tahrir square three years ago using social media to spread their call for freedom, helping to overthrow a 30-year dictatorship. we first m

holly williams is in perth. holly, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, anne-marie. there's been new criticism of malaysian authorities within the last couple hours. this coming under fire for not being forthcoming into the investigation of disappearance of flight 370. yesterday, the malaysians put out a statement announcing that the final signoff from the cockpit on the plane before communications systems were switched off and the plane disappeared was good night, malaysia 370. now, that's a formal, correct signoff. but previously, malaysian authorities said the last words were "all right. good night," which are technically incorrect which left speculation to who was flying the plane when it left malaysian airspace. there's been no report on this and that led to frustration of the families of people on board who say that the malaysian authorities haven't been honest with them. in the southern indian ocean where it's believed the plane went down continued to search today. the australian government is deploying a modified 747 for a flying, mobile, air traffic controll

holly, you say both sides are ready for a fight. i wonder, how much concern is there that there could actually be a civil war in ukraine? >> reporter: a lot of concern, scott. many people here are adamant that they want to live in a separate eastern ukraine, and the armed insurgents say that they'll fight for that. meanwhile, ukraine's government says it will use force to remove militants from the towns they've occupied, and that potentially is a recipe for civil war. >> pelley: holly williams, thanks very much. another major story breaking tonight is the search off south korea after the sinking of a ferryboat full of high school students on a class trip. 179 people were rescued, but at least six have died, and more than 280 are missing. seth doane is following this. >> reporter: divers combed the dark waters for any survivors. and those feared trapped below deck. but the south korean coast guard said the divers failed to get inside the wreck because the current was too strong, and the visibility poor. the ferry sank in water over 1

holly, thanks. speaking to this in japan today, president obama threatened to punish russia with new sanctions. the president said those sanctions are, as he put it, already teed up, but he conceded they may not do much to change putin's actions unless european allies do likewise. today, the federal government took a big step toward regulating electronic cigarettes for the first time. e-cigarettes are big business. millions of people worldwide are smoking them. sales last year reached nearly $2 billion. chip reid now on the proposed rules. >> reporter: at the d.c. vape joint, the craze is electronic cigarettes, battery-powered devices that allow users to ides inhale nicotine. store manager ryan bixby used to smoke a pack of regular cigarettes a day but he quit after trying e-cigarettes. >> i can remember putting the juice in, taking it for the first time, and saying man, that is so much better than a cigarette. it's just more satisfying. >> reporter: bixby says many of his customers smoke these to h
