scott pelley. >> pelley: good evening, it has been an ominous and frightening afternoon in dallas fort worth. at least two tornadoes the weather service described as skipped across the metropolitan area of six million people. while damage is widespread, areas of severe damage appear to be limited. there are no immediate reports of fatalities but assessments are still coming in. we feared the worst when we saw pictures of semi trailers flying through the air but the twisters were selective. just a few neighborhoods are heavily damaged. a lot of what we've seen is broken glass and roof tops. we just talked to the mayor of arlington who told us that he knows of only a few injuries in his city. the mayor of lancaster reports a few injuries as well. d.f.w. airport did shut down. hundreds of flights have been canceled. jason allen of our cbs station ktvt has more from the scene. jason? >> reporter: i am standing on a concrete slab that used to be the wall of this door business in kennedydale. the three people who were inside when the tornado came through took refuge in a bathroom. the only part of

been given a gift. >> the thing that surprises me today, the poll numbers has scott walker aheadthe sentiment seems to have shifted back to him to some degree at least. how do you understand that? >> he has been by himself on the air for three months with $12 million in television. that's a ton of money in wisconsin. he's in little markets buying thousands of points, repeating these lies that he said he fixed the budget. he didn't. he's working on jobs wisconsin and job loss but he hasn't had any opposition on the air. to be unopposed on the airwaves, being at 50% we have yet begun to fight and scat walker is still at this danger number. we're feeling pretty good about this. >> there is this issue sort of festering notion of a grand jury investigation relating to activity during the time that scott walker was the county executive in milwaukee. what is that? is there any real possibility that that will rise to his level or even if it does, do so by the time of the recall vote? >> there's no doubt that it could reach scott walker. it has crept up to his top aids, his deputy chief o

has a unique design. it looks like a pinwheel, but as scott explains, the shape has a purpose. >> we're going out really far from the sun. in fact, jupiter's five times as far away from the sun as the earth is, and so we get 25 times less sunlight than we get here on earth. so we needed to overcome that. we have big giant solar panels to do that. but we go deep close to jupiter, right into the middle of the radiation zone. in fact, it's the most hazardous region in the whole solar system. we're like an armored tank going to jupiter. >> in roman mythology, juno is the wife of jupiter. according to legend, when jupiter was up to mischief, he'd hide behind clouds. >> but she could see right through the clouds, and that's just what our spacecraft juno does. it sees through the clouds of jupiter to figure out its true nature and see what's inside. >> scientists hope that once nasa's juno "sees through" the clouds of jupiter, we'll find a lot of answers about the birth of our solar system. >> our whole solar system was probably formed from one kind of cloud that was basically the same composition as the sun -- mo

how do we pay for those cuts for the aids programs scott has referred to, or supervisor campos has talked to me about community-based services that need to be here in the community, not in some centralized place where you cannot get it. how do we do all of that and still maintain the balance? that is up to us to find that way. you have a mayor that is seriously focused on your problems, because there are problems. it's not my budget. it's our budget. i will spend every day and hour i can to find the best solutions that i can. i have some really keen brains here. they are very smart people. they are very dedicated people. they are going to work really hard with me as to how to bring the best, highest level of services, culturally competent services, services to every neighborhood, and still try to balance the budget with all the things you been reading about and hearing about the enough speeches. tonight is about listening to you. thank you very much. let's get the road show started. [applause] supervisor campos: thank you, mr. mayor. we assume that by your presence here, if there's any su

scott has been involved in and so have i. we haven't had too many discussions as of yet, but we've had some preliminary discussions about some of the things that have been holding up the program that we've identified for well over a year now. >> mr. scott, you said that this report or that which came out of this report is a wake-up call, not a death knell for the program. it is my hope that that is the case. could you outline why the program as -- as articulated, or as legislatively drawn and the response by the private sector to that is both worthy of being maintained, and what are the essential advantages of it as you see it in the context of as you say the industry having spent billions of dollars in terms of security? >> well, the primary reason we agree that cfats is a good approach is the risk-based approach that it takes. it's really focused on the risk of each individual site, different scenarios at each site. so it takes the risk into -- into question, and then you apply the appropriate risk rating interior level to

scott has been in every opening day since 1992 has the story of the game and the big day. >> reporter: 20 years ago today this ballpark opened. the weather was even better this time and the baseball was darn near as good. to get started rick who threw out the first pitch in 1992 was back on the mound throwing to his catcher back then didn't take them long to get this thing started. first inning with a runner on board, nick markakis with a drive to deep left. its gone. a 2-0 orioles lead. how about that the fans bari in their seats and the orioles off and running. adam jones double helped give them a 3-0 lead and then time for nick to click again. markakis back at it. this deep drive turns in to a triple, three rbis on the game more markakis a big day for the veteran right fielder. >> you know opening day you want to set the tone. you want to go out and win, especially opening at home, packed house, we know -- we know what the fans are about and we would like to see more of them this year. >> reporter: that's all jake needed. he threw seven shut outs and gape up only four hits. that's

whether you're going there or elsewhere, lauren scott has what's happening this weekend. >>> for several years running, oakland has played host to unique music and conversation. this saturday the fox theatre welcomes notes and words back for its third edition, with proceeds benefiting the children's center oakland. >> it's a very small culture we have here, so i don't think you can throw a rubber chicken on a plate and hope to raise a lot of awareness. >> they gather together some very talented friends, including -- >> our first pulitzer prize winner, michael chavon, anthony mott, and one of my all time favorite bands, cake, and they were so gracious. >> it's been amplified who saw in her own daughter who was in need of top flight care. >> she was three years old, she had meningitis, and we came to this hospital. i came with a super strong feeling of wanting to do something for the people here who worked so quietly and with such little support to take care of my girl. >> so notes and music will blend not just this weekend, but in years to follow. >> our fantasy is there will be two event

things like vision, reaction time and memory. >>> a minnesota investor has come up with a new way to bring transaction to the future. scott olson now on the mission to get people in motion. his latest innovation dubbed sky ride has been in the works now for about 15 years, the idea is pretty simple. sky riders can pedal or row themselves along a monorail. he hopes the sky ride will gain traction as a means of exercise, entertainment and transportation. >>> three minutes from 5:00 right now and coming up all new on "good morning maryland" at 5:00, the white sox have put an end to the o's two game-winning streak and highlights from the game are coming up about six minutes after 5:00. >>> and researchers have a found a new treatment that may help those suffering from heart failure. >> plus a special couple is celebrating a huge milestone and stick around to meet them at 5:30. >> time for news around the world. >> three, two, one. now, one, two, three. >> overnight we learned india successfully test launched a nuclear capable missile that can travel around 3100-miles and has the capability of hitting major chinese cities. the

scott has the facts that make this one stand out. >> maine stretches further east than any other u.s.ate. it's also our least densely populated eastern state. almost 90% of maine is covered by forest, which is why it's called the pine tree state. but maine is also known for its long, rugged coastline. in fact, it competes with florida for having the most shoreline along the atlantic ocean. maine's first state flag appeared in 1901. it was a very simple design. then, in 1909, a new flag was created. it was much more complex, but not everybody saw it as an improvement. >> maine is an interesting flag in that, in recent years, there have been two attempts to return it to its former, simpler design, which was just a pine tree and the north star. pine what they have now is the state coat of arms, which features still the pine tree, still the north star, but also a moose resting beneath the pine tree. to the left of this image, you have a farmer, and that's in reference to all the agriculture in maine. maine is known for its blueberries and potatoes. to the right, you see a sailor. >> the s

speaking of things to do this weekend, our own laurence scott has what to do for yourself and your four-legged friends. >> for five years, running san francisco has enjoyed an annual celebration of dogs and kids in dubose park, helping fund arts and academic enrichment program at mckinley elementary you a public school needing new fund-raising idea. dog fest was formed by a group of parents asking the question -- >> what do neighbors have around here? a great job down the street, let's create dog fest and that's just sort of where it came from and from there we just tried planning how do we make this an actual event. >> reporter: that is a parent of a fourth grader and event co-chair this year, a group of well known authors and entertain letters serve as celebrity judges and master of ceremonies hoping to drive activity. >> best costumes, best coat, best runway strut, a runway auction for the adult, carnival games for the kids. >> all at a dog show opened to everyone and their kids. >> every dog is special, every dog is unique. you can reg gist terror at the event. you can bring the dog in the

now that governor rick scott has designated a task force to stand your ground, could it set the stand for repeal or revision? plus, republicans are discouraged about mitt romney's prospects and democrats plan to make them more discouraged. give up the romney is a flip-flopper argument and hold him to all of those right-wring positions he took in the primaries. and there's more fallout. three more agents are out. finally, let me finish with the number that will determine whether obama or romney gets elected this year. we begin with george zimmerman's day in court. joanne reed isç managing edito of grio.com. well, i always start these conversations by saying i am not a lawyer. i listen to those who are. let's take a look at this. here's george zimmerman speaking in court this morning and addressing the parents right there in court of trayvon martin. let's watch. >> i wanted to say that i am sorry for the loss of your son. i did not know how old he was. i thought he was a little younger than i am. and i did not know if he was armed or not. >> joanne reed, that's something that the defen

has been harder for him to punch through the national dynamic. partly because everybody in wisconsin is still obsessed with state politics. the recall battle over scottalker has really overshadowed the presidential race. santorum has talked about this and how strange it is to come into a state where the presidential race really takes a back seat. so i think that makes it harder for him to push back against this argument that romney is the nominee. >> what is the impact of that recall election on turnout? >> partly it depends on the outcome. but it also gives both parties an organizational run through. the democrats have already had that with the recall drive. they will have it again in terms of the turnout operations for the recall in june. but the republicans are doing it too. democrats are really activated but republicans are really activated. that is what is so astonishing about scott walker's numbers. everybody has got an opinion and there are very few undecided. >> let me ask you about one more politician which has been in the national news a lot, which is paul ryan. how does that impact the general election for romney? >> well, i think, romney

cradle for seventeen people who were sleeping when the fire started our correspondent arena go to scott has more from the scene of moscow's deadliest place in five years. people died in this blaze the cause of their death is said to be smoke inhalation they were migrant workers who were living and working at this warehouse located on the outskirts of moscow in all the parts. at this point investigators are still looking through the scene trying to determine the exact cause of this blaze and to see if there possibly could be any more bodies found no this is the second fire which occurred in the russian capital in the space of less than ten hours yet another blaze occurred at the most go suzi i was in the center of the of the russian capital one of the structures which is still under construction of the federation tower caught fire from a ballet or wish i was torn off by a very strong winds god cause on this lighting fixture you have to understand construction there is still going on workers are working twenty four seven and they need light at all times so the better got caught on the sliding

and of course as you know this gubernatorial issue has captured everybody's attention. scott walker has been raising hundreds of thousands of dollars from these conservative donors including the koch brothers. doesn't that make you nervous? >> well, it is not wisconsin's values. >> governor walker has been criss crossing this nation like you just described collecting these huge campaign contributions and that's because he has been delivering this far right agenda that isn't wisconsin's values. instead of doing the hard work of rolling up his sleeves and producing jobs here like you did in our neighboring state of michigan. when a governor can collect $500,000 from one texas donor alone who happens to be the fella that created those swift-boat ads against senator kerry a couple of years ago, you know he is not reflecting our wisconsin values here. >> if he succeed in defunding that recall be that embold others around the country to be able to do the very things that scott walker has been able to do in wisconsin? >> we know that's the case because all eyes are watching, and all

a lot of time in building those local coalitions that as has been the case with what congressman scott has tried to do with this bill, build that slowly, steadily and build those local coalitions to a national coalition and thus a movement and going to those segments of the community, the constituencies of voters that are concerned about these kinds of things and it usually is for these kinds of issues, the religious communities and students, and finding like minded folks who are willing to help put some of those building blocks together for a movement building. there already is the outlines of that and you're a part of it and i think that getting people like hill who has face and name recognition and is able to articulate the answers to some of these issues in such a profound way, in such a personal way and there are lots of other guys and people out there who have various constituents. whether they're ministers, like the judge there. other people, politicians, who have already built in followings and just welcoming them into a broader coalition, figuring out events that are going to get

time award and we're actually giving it to a repeat offender and governor of florida rick scott scott has been featured many times on this segment mostly because he's got his priorities all messed up not only does it feel that it's appropriate to drug test welfare recipients and government workers but he also waged war on the school system are moving money from the education budget and guess where that went. it takes more than one point seven billion dollars out of the public schools and instead of putting that money back into the budget the budget gives it away in corporate and property tax breaks so so like i said he's shown how much of a tool he is on multiple occasions but today we're calling him out for a different reason you see april the sexual assault awareness month and the state is aiming to help around seven hundred thousand rape victims in need of aid so florida's council against sexual violence has asked for one point five million dollars which was approved by the state legislature and florida already budget funds for prevention and sexual assault services but that money usua

rick scott has announced a task force to review the stand your ground law. george zimmerman told police that he shot martin in self- defense. but supporters and lawyers said the teenager was a murder victim. he told the judge -- the judge appointed her to state attorneys and also said a bonderman for monday. she is facing charges of capital murder. police said she told them she recently miscarried. her attorneys will plead not guilty. >> police have made an arrest in the day care assault we told you about yesterday. the mother of the victim is reacting to the arrest and she is not the only one who has strong feelings. we are live from northeast washington with the mother's interview. >> we spoke with the mother, we have been speaking with their over the past 72 hours. this has been a very difficult nine days. she is not sleeping much because her son is having nightmares. today's news of an arrest was the first comfort. u.s. marshals arrived in the d.c. police station with a 21- year-old randolph king in custody. he is charged with child sex abuse. the allege

scott has been involved in. we haven't had many discussions as of yet but we had some preliminary discussions about some of the things that have been holding a program we identified for well over a year now. >> mr. scott. he said this report for that which came out of this is a wake-up call, not a death knell for the program. i hope that is the case. could you out wine why the program as articulated or as legislatively drawn and the response by the private sector to that is worthy of being maintained and what are the advantages as you see it in the context of as you say the industry having spent billions of dollars in terms of security? >> the primary reason we agree cfats is a good approach is the risk-based approach they take. it is really focused on the risk of each individual's right, different scenarios. it takes a risk in to question and you apply the appropriate risk rating and tier level to the site. a strong positive. we want to be sure we are focusing on risk and focusing on reducing the risk. the seco

scott brown has been underestimated by the national democrats. that does not match with local democrats are saying. scott brown is running a great campaign and we feel good about our chance. i think clear miscast -- a thing clear mccaskill has a good chance. she could be more out of touch with the state of missouri. the state has gone away from her. there is no one who has been more supportive of the president's agenda. we have three strong candidates running and i don't know who will be the nominee but either one of them will beat centre mccaskill. >> do you want to defend? >> he did not talk about who is running on the republican side. this is an example where we have simply co-op debate nrc in this cycle. a month and a half ago, they were out beating the drums to get the state auditor to run. they might not want to be a cemetersenator. they know event claire mccaskill is a fighter and a bill that had the closest chance of tapping discretionary spending in the last cycle was a bill that was sponsored by claire mccaskill and jeff sessions against
