[0:03] Coming up, the truth about Ruth Maidolf.

[0:05] Stunning new details of what she did the

[0:08] days before her husband Bernie's arrest.

[0:10] An early show investigation. Coming up,

[0:12] when the questions are just as important

[0:15] as the answers,

[0:16] >> aren't you going to have to tell them

[0:17] that they just can't do that?

[0:18] >> There's one place where the biggest

[0:20] names in politics face the facts, face

[0:23] the truth.

[0:24] >> How bad is this situation right now?

[0:27] >> Face the nation with Bob Schiffer.

[0:29] Sundays on CBS,

[0:35] Tonight on the CBS Evening News,

[0:39] >> top stories now on Up to the Minute. A

[0:41] strong earthquake has hit central Italy

[0:44] early this morning. More than a dozen

[0:45] deaths are already reported, including

[0:48] children. One official says thousands

[0:50] are now homeless. President Obama is in

[0:53] Turkey for a two-day visit. He'll ask

[0:55] for help in winding down the Iraq war

[0:57] and stabilizing the Middle East. And for

[0:59] the first time since 1991, the media has

[1:02] been allowed to witness the return of a

[1:04] serviceman killed in combat. The family

[1:07] of Air Force Sergeant Philip Meyers

[1:08] allowed the coverage under a new policy.

[1:11] In overseas trading, Japan's benchmark

[1:13] NIK index closed up 108 points to finish

[1:16] at 8,857.

[1:18] Alexis Christopherus has more in this

[1:20] morning's CBS News Money Watch. The

[1:23] stock market will try to make it five

[1:25] winning weeks in a row. The market is

[1:27] coming off its best four-week stretch in

[1:30] more than 70 years. On Friday, not even

[1:33] a dismal monthly jobs report was enough

[1:35] to derail the recent rally. The Dow

[1:37] Industrials climbed 39 points to close

[1:39] above 8,000 for the first time in two

[1:41] months, while the Nasdaq Composite added

[1:44] 19. General Motors could soon be removed

[1:47] from the Dow Jones Industrial Average.

[1:49] Analysts say if GM falls into

[1:50] bankruptcy, Dow Jones will have to find

[1:52] a replacement for the automaker in the

[1:54] 30 stock index. Analysts say possible

[1:56] candidates to replace GM include Goldman

[1:58] Sachs, whose stock price is above $100,

[2:02] or tech giant Cisco Systems. Electronic

[2:05] tax filing is gaining popularity, up 20%

[2:08] this year, and the IRS says that number

[2:10] will rise as we near the April 15th

[2:12] filing deadline. A major factor, two

[2:15] popular tax preparation software makers

[2:17] no longer charge an extra $12.95 for

[2:20] each tax return that's filed

[2:21] electronically. Experts say people are

[2:24] also more comfortable doing things

[2:26] online. And Nintendo is rolling out its

[2:28] next generation handheld gaming console.

[2:31] Aside from game playing functions, the

[2:33] DSi has a dual screen, two cameras, a

[2:36] microphone, and tools that allow users

[2:39] to create content and share with others.

[2:41] The DSI is retailing for 170 bucks. And

[2:45] that's your money watch. Click on

[2:48] for more. In New York, I'm Alexis

[2:51] Christopherus. As Alexis reported,

[2:54] General Motors remains on the brink of

[2:55] bankruptcy after the White House forced

[2:58] GM CEO Rick Wagner to step down last

[3:00] week. Some accused the administration of

[3:02] a double standard and how they're

[3:04] handling the auto industry compared to

[3:06] how they bailed out the banks. CBS's Bob

[3:09] Schaefer asked Treasury Secretary Tim

[3:11] Gner about it on Face the Nation.

[3:13] >> Some people continue to say that you're

[3:15] going easier on our financial

[3:17] institutions than you are uh on the auto

[3:20] industry. And this morning uh in the New

[3:22] York Post, the uh uh chairman of a

[3:25] congressional watchdog panel that's been

[3:27] appointed to watch over these TARP funds

[3:30] says that frankly that unless

[3:33] there's no way out of this uh situation

[3:37] that we're in unless you fire the people

[3:39] that are running these big banks and

[3:41] these financial institutions. What's

[3:43] your response to that?

[3:44] >> This is a very important issue. Let me

[3:45] just start by saying that, you know,

[3:46] we're five quarters into this recession.

[3:49] And if you look back to the beginning of

[3:51] this process, look at the financialism

[3:53] that existed before this the recession

[3:55] started. We've already seen a

[3:58] substantial number of the largest banks

[4:00] in our country

[4:02] fail or be absorbed by our institutions

[4:05] no longer existing as independent

[4:06] institutions. And we where the

[4:09] government has acted like in Fanny and

[4:11] Freddy or like in AIG where we've had to

[4:13] do exceptional things to stabilize them.

[4:16] We have replaced the management and the

[4:18] board. And we've done that because we

[4:20] want to make sure that taxpayers

[4:22] assistance is going to make these

[4:24] companies stronger, make sure there's

[4:26] accountability, make sure it comes with

[4:28] strong conditions. And we'll do that in

[4:29] the future if that's necessary. It's a

[4:31] it's a single standard, a s single

[4:34] principle, and our obligation to the

[4:35] American people is to do what's

[4:37] necessary to try to bring recovery back

[4:39] on track as quickly as possible. Just

[4:40] one last thing,

[4:41] >> you know, economies depend on financial

[4:44] systems. They provide the credit that's

[4:46] the oxygen for economies and recovery

[4:49] requires and recovering automobile

[4:51] industry requires that we have a

[4:53] financial system that is doing a better

[4:54] job of making credit available on

[4:56] reasonable terms for business and

[4:58] families. And that basic objective has

[5:00] to guide everything we do.

[5:01] >> Well, let me take for example two that

[5:03] people hear a lot about and one is City

[5:05] Bank and the other is is is is Bank of

[5:09] America. Should the CEOs of those

[5:12] institutions be worried that they may

[5:14] face the same fate as Rick Wagner did if

[5:16] if they if their performance does not

[5:18] improve?

[5:19] >> Bob, what I'll say is this. when in the

[5:21] future

[5:23] or obviously if in the future banks need

[5:26] exceptional assistance in order to get

[5:28] through this then we'll make sure that

[5:29] assistance comes with conditions not

[5:31] just to protect the taxpayer but to make

[5:33] sure there's the kind of restructuring

[5:35] necessary for them to emerge stronger

[5:36] and where that requires a change in

[5:38] management of the board we'll do that

[5:40] >> CBS's Bob Schaefer with Treasury

[5:41] Secretary Tim Gner on Face the Nation

[5:44] now a look at your Monday weather the

[5:46] latest satellite picture shows gray

[5:48] skies across the lower Midwest best in

[5:50] snow from Chicago to Detroit. Elsewhere,

[5:53] it's a beautiful clear morning all the

[5:55] way from the Plains to the Pacific.

[5:57] Later today, a few more inches of snow

[5:59] will fall across the Great Lakes and

[6:01] Ohio Valley. Most of the Northeast can

[6:03] expect thunderstorms, while the South

[6:05] turns windy and much cooler. Not so

[6:08] across the West, though, where it should

[6:09] be another gorgeous day. In sports,

[6:13] believe it or not, the 2009 Major League

[6:16] Baseball season is underway.

[6:18] Philadelphia started off the season in

[6:20] style as World Series champions, but it

[6:23] was all downhill after that for the

[6:24] Phillies. Atlanta's Brian McCann started

[6:27] the scoring off in the first with a

[6:28] two-run home run off Brett Meyers.

[6:31] Later, Jordan Schaefer in his first

[6:33] career major league at bat puts this one

[6:35] over the left center field fence. Braves

[6:38] win the season opener four to one.

[6:45] >> I am a math genius. Whoa, it's wrong

[6:48] side. Actually, this is the formula for

[6:50] big savings because right now at Rooms

[6:52] to Go, you can get any living room,

[6:54] bedroom, or dining room priced up to

[6:56] $2,000 for just $30 a month. And at $30

[6:58] a month, it's not just affordable, it's

[7:01] beautiful. Plus, another math reference.

[7:03] Hey, Rooms to Go pays your interest

[7:05] until April 2012. That's 3 years from

[7:08] now. So, do the math. It all adds up to

[7:10] a great opportunity at Rooms to Go. Huh,

[7:13] genius, right?

[7:15] They're the things you do every morning.

[7:18] >> I get up first, so I make the coffee.

[7:20] >> Good morning, South Florida.

[7:21] >> Here are the stories making headlines.

[7:24] >> I'll see you later. Love you.

[7:25] >> Love you.

[7:26] >> What's your morning routine?

[7:28] >> Traffic on the highways not looking too

[7:30] bad.

[7:31] >> Go to cbs4.com/morning

[7:33] and let us know.

[7:34] >> Bye, Mommy.

[7:35] >> Have a good day, honey. I'll see you

[7:37] later.

[7:37] >> Don't forget that umbrella as you head

[7:39] out the door.

[7:39] >> CBS4 News. We want to be a part of your

[7:42] morning routine.

[7:45] If it were easy, everyone would do it.

[7:47] It takes a very special person to join

[7:50] the National Multiple Sclerosis

[7:51] Society's bike tours to end the

[7:53] devastating effects of MS. If you are

[7:56] that special person, seeking a

[7:58] challenge, wanting to make a difference

[7:59] in a friend or neighbor's life and eager

[8:01] to have a really good time, call 1800

[8:04] FightMS for information on the date and

[8:07] MS bike tour nearest you.

[8:14] Next, ETN insider. Chris Brown back in

[8:17] court. Will Rihanna defend her man? Will

[8:19] he end up behind bars?

[8:20] >> If Rihanna is asked to testify, she

[8:23] will.

[8:24] >> Then, Drew Barrymore wet and wild. The

[8:28] sexy underwater shot.

[8:29] >> This is such a fun way to spend the day.

[8:31] >> Plus, Zack Efron on kissing an older

[8:33] woman. And

[8:34] >> do you have a man crush on?

[8:36] >> Dancing stars face off on the ET stage.

[8:39] Next ET and Insider

[8:41] >> starting tonight at 7 on CBS 4.

[8:46] >> We close this half hour with a

[8:48] scientific mystery. Bats may not be

[8:50] everyone's favorite creature, but they

[8:52] play a crucial role in maintaining the

[8:54] balance of nature. And now they're dying

[8:56] off at a scary rate. CBS's Daniel

[8:59] Seabourg has the story.

[9:01] >> This snowmobile trekk into the mountains

[9:03] of southern Vermont was hardly a

[9:05] pleasure trip. We're at Aololis Cave. be

[9:08] very careful.

[9:09] >> Where a 100,000 bats have hibernated

[9:12] each winter for 10,000 years.

[9:14] >> But these wildlife researchers are

[9:16] terrified about what they'll find.

[9:18] >> Oh my god, that's worse than last year.

[9:22] >> At the cave mouth alone, we discover

[9:24] thousands of dead bats. Many others that

[9:27] should be hibernating deep inside are

[9:29] flying off or crawling about in a feudal

[9:32] effort to find food, starving to death

[9:34] in the bitter cold. These bats are are

[9:37] just running out of energy and they're

[9:40] trying to stay warm as they can at the

[9:42] very last stages of their lives.

[9:44] >> Two years ago, biologists first noticed

[9:47] a strange white fungus growing around

[9:49] the snouts of affected bats. They called

[9:51] it white nose syndrome. What's worrisome

[9:54] for researchers is how fast this

[9:56] phenomenon is spreading. It was

[9:58] discovered just two years ago in a

[10:00] handful of caves in New York. last year

[10:02] was found in four states and this winter

[10:05] four more from as far south as West

[10:08] Virginia to as far west as Pennsylvania.

[10:11] Yet lab tests indicate that the fungus

[10:13] itself may not be what's killing the

[10:15] bats. What is certain is that the bat's

[10:18] hibernating body weight is often far too

[10:20] low.

[10:21] >> 6.4 perhaps why they're waking up and

[10:24] flying out into the dead of winter.

[10:26] >> One can assume these bats are start

[10:28] dying of starvation, but really what is

[10:30] the cause of that? We need to figure out

[10:33] what is killing these bats.

[10:35] >> Bats, love them or hate them, are

[10:38] voracious eaters of insects and moths.

[10:40] Fewer bats mean more bugs, and that can

[10:43] mean more pesticides on crops, higher

[10:46] prices for tomatoes or hay, and

[10:48] potentially more cases of insect born

[10:50] diseases like West Nile virus.

[10:53] >> Losing our bats, I like to say, is like

[10:56] pulling out the steel beam from under a

[10:58] bridge. At some point, it's likely all

[11:02] going to collapse on you.

[11:03] >> It's a race against time. Half a million

[11:06] bats may die this year. Some specimens

[11:09] here are being collected solely to

[11:11] archive their DNA since entire species

[11:15] are at risk. Daniel Seabourg, CBS News,

[11:18] Dorset, Vermont.

[11:20] >> Thanks for joining us this half hour.

[11:22] This is CBS News Up to the Minute.

[11:28] A bridge for Microsoft and you're paying

[11:31] for it.

[11:31] >> Why are we funding a brand new project

[11:34] when you have a bridge up the road

[11:35] that's a real hazard?

[11:37] >> Tonight,

[11:41] >> CBS News is very good news.

[11:48] >> Trimmer's toll. A powerful and deadly

[11:50] earthquake strikes central Italy.

[11:52] Islamic visit. President Obama visits

[11:55] America's closest Muslim ally, Turkey.

[11:58] and documented. A two decade ban on news

[12:01] coverage of returning US war dead is

[12:03] lifted.

[12:08] >> This is the CBS Morning News for Monday,

[12:10] April 6th, 2009.

[12:18] Good morning. Thanks for joining us.

[12:19] Michelle Gilan is on assignment. I'm

[12:21] Karen Brown. Thousands of people in

[12:24] central Italy were shaken awake before

[12:26] dawn today by a powerful earthquake.

[12:28] Many made it out of their collapsing

[12:30] homes. Some were not so lucky. The quake

[12:33] was centered in the mountains northeast

[12:34] of Rome. At least 27 people were killed,

[12:37] many more injured, and thousands left

[12:39] homeless. Alan Pizzy is in the quake

[12:42] zone.

[12:45] >> The quake struck in the pre-dawn hours,

[12:47] driving people from their beds. Students

[12:49] fled a dormatory wrapped in blankets,

[12:51] seeking safety in the streets.

[12:53] Aftershocks have continued to jolt the

[12:55] area. Rescue workers and search teams

[12:57] have been pulling people from the rubble

[12:59] of several buildings which collapsed in

[13:00] the city center and continue to look for

[13:02] more. As many as a 100,000 people have

[13:05] been forced to flee their homes. Civil

[13:07] protection authorities say up to 15,000

[13:09] buildings were damaged, some of them

[13:11] seriously. The toll of dead and injured

[13:13] continues to rise and reports say at

[13:15] least four isolated villages in the

[13:17] mountains surrounding the city have been

[13:19] heavily damaged. One resident said the

[13:21] tremler seemed to move up and down as

[13:23] opposed to the horizontal motion people

[13:25] in this area are used to which made it

[13:27] all the more terrifying. The epicenter

[13:29] was close to the surface which tends to

[13:31] make the effects more serene. Reports on

[13:33] the magnitude vary between 5.8 and 6.4.

[13:38] Prime Minister Sylvio Beroskone has

[13:40] declared the affected zone a disaster

[13:42] area and will tour the scene later in

[13:43] the day. Alexi, CBS News, Lacula, Italy.

[13:48] >> President Obama is in Turkey this

[13:50] morning where he'll ask America's

[13:52] closest Muslim ally for more help in the

[13:54] war in Afghanistan. He's speaking to the

[13:57] Turkish Parliament in Anchora, then

[13:58] traveling to Istanbul. Bill Plant is

[14:01] with the president. Good morning, Bill.

[14:04] >> Morning, Karen. This nation is the

[14:06] bridge between Europe and Asia and it is

[14:08] the president's last stop on his trip.

[14:11] President Obama said at his inauguration

[14:13] that he wants to reach out to the Muslim

[14:15] world and he began that with a visit

[14:18] today to the tomb of Kamal Adaturk who

[14:21] is revered here as the founder of modern

[14:24] Turkey. The president wrote in the guest

[14:26] book that he looked forward to

[14:27] supporting Adaturk's vision of

[14:29] democracy.

[14:31] As one political scholar put it to CBS

[14:33] News, Obama starts with a great

[14:35] advantage because his name is not George

[14:37] W. Bush. President Bush was unpopular

[14:40] here, but President Obama starts with a

[14:42] clean slate. And on this trip, he is in

[14:45] effect introducing himself to the world,

[14:48] including the Muslim world. Today, he

[14:50] speaks to the Turkish Parliament, and

[14:52] there are issues about which Turkey

[14:54] cares very deeply. Turkey is a member of

[14:56] the NATO alliance, but Turkey wants to

[14:59] be a member of the European Union.

[15:01] Yesterday in Prague, the president urged

[15:04] that Turkey be allowed to be in the EU,

[15:07] and Mr. Obama is hoping for Turkeykey's

[15:09] help in return. Karen,

[15:12] >> yeah, Bill, you know, Turkey refused to

[15:14] allow the US to send troops through its

[15:15] territory at the start of the Iraq war.

[15:17] So, what does the president want Turkey

[15:19] to do now?

[15:22] Well, at the moment, that's true, of

[15:23] course, but at the moment, it's the only

[15:25] Muslim nation with troops in the fight

[15:27] against terrorism, with troops in

[15:29] Afghanistan. President Obama is looking

[15:31] for Turkeykey's continued help with

[15:34] Middle East peace issues, as a conduit

[15:36] to Syria, as a conduit possibly to Iran,

[15:39] is hoping that the Turks will help

[15:41] maintain stability in Iraq as the US

[15:44] withdraws, sorry, withdraws troops. So

[15:47] when he sits down with Turkey's

[15:48] president today, President Obama will

[15:50] ask for Turkeykey's help there and also

[15:53] with Pakistan and Afghanistan. Karen

[15:57] >> Bill Plantin Anchora, thank you. The UN

[16:00] Security Council reconvenes today for

[16:02] more debate of a response to North

[16:04] Korea's rocket launch. The test appears

[16:06] to have failed, but there's still

[16:07] concern over what many see as a

[16:09] disguised ballistic missile test. Tara

[16:12] Meriner is in Washington. Good morning,

[16:14] Tara.

[16:15] >> Good morning, Karen. While North Korea

[16:16] went ahead with this launch in spite of

[16:18] numerous international warnings, now

[16:21] President Obama wants action.

[16:24] >> The US will call on the United Nations

[16:26] again today to punish North Korea for

[16:28] its weekend rocket launch.

[16:30] >> This is serious. It's a violation and it

[16:32] merits uh an appropriately strong United

[16:35] Nations response.

[16:36] >> UN Ambassador Susan Rice attended

[16:38] Sunday's emergency session, but after 3

[16:40] hours, members failed to reach a unified

[16:43] response. The US, Britain, and France

[16:45] have drafted a proposed resolution

[16:47] aiming to tighten economic sanctions. It

[16:50] could be adopted by the end of the week.

[16:53] North Korean television claimed the

[16:55] rocket carried a communication

[16:57] satellite, but the US military said

[16:59] nothing entered into orbit and the

[17:01] rocket instead landed in the Pacific

[17:03] Ocean. The US and its allies fear the

[17:06] test was actually a smoke screen for a

[17:08] nuclear weapons test. President Obama

[17:11] was quick to condemn it while on his

[17:13] overseas trip.

[17:14] >> North Korea broke the rules once again

[17:18] by testing a rocket that could be used

[17:20] for long range missiles

[17:22] >> before a crowd of more than 20,000 in

[17:24] Prague. The president urged the world to

[17:26] take a united stand.

[17:28] >> Now is the time for a strong

[17:30] international response. And North Korea

[17:32] must know that the path to security and

[17:34] respect will never come through threats

[17:36] and illegal weapons. If world leaders do

[17:38] go through with some sort of punishment,

[17:40] North Korea has threatened to walk away

[17:42] from the negotiating table and fire up

[17:44] its nuclear processing plant once again.

[17:48] >> And this is the third time North Korea

[17:50] has apparently tried to put a satellite

[17:52] into orbit. Karen, back to you.

[17:55] >> Yeah, Tara, this is really considered to

[17:56] be a failure as far as this rocket

[17:59] launch is considered, but how far did it

[18:01] get compared to previous launches? Well,

[18:04] according to intelligence Karen, it went

[18:05] about 1,200 miles this time. That's

[18:08] about double than it did in 1998 and

[18:10] much better than in 2006 when it fizzled

[18:13] in just 40 seconds. All right, Tara

[18:16] Meriner in Washington. Thank you. For

[18:18] the first time since the first Gulf War

[18:20] almost 20 years ago, the news media is

[18:23] being permitted to cover the return of

[18:24] American war dead. It was a solemn

[18:27] ceremony at Dover Air Force Base in

[18:29] Maryland. With permission from his

[18:31] family, the media were allowed to

[18:32] witness the return last night of Air

[18:34] Force Staff Sergeant Philip Phil Philip

[18:36] Meyers of Hopewell, Virginia. Sergeant

[18:39] Meyers was killed Saturday in

[18:41] Afghanistan. Last year, he was awarded

[18:43] the Bronze Star for bravery while

[18:45] serving in Iraq.

[19:05] Everyone loves the taste of a delicious

[19:07] homegrown garden tomato. But planting a

[19:09] garden and trying to take care of it is

[19:11] backbreaking work. And after all that,

[19:14] your tomatoes can still end up on the

[19:16] ground and spoiled. But now there's an

[19:18] easy way to grow delicious homegrown

[19:20] tomatoes without all that work.

[19:22] Introducing the revolutionary Topsy

[19:24] Turvy. It grows your tomato plants

[19:25] upside down so there's no digging,

[19:28] weeding, or bending over. Just place

[19:30] your tomato plant into the planter, add

[19:32] potting soil, then hang in water. That's

[19:34] it. The sun warms the planter like a

[19:36] greenhouse. So the root system explodes

[19:39] inside. And because it's upside down,

[19:41] the water and nutrients pour directly

[19:43] from the roots to the fruit, giving you

[19:45] up to 30 lbs of ripe, delicious tomatoes

[19:48] per plant. And they're ready to enjoy up

[19:50] to 4 weeks earlier than when you plant

[19:52] them in the ground. Now you can enjoy

[19:53] delicious homegrown tomatoes in

[19:55] sandwiches, salads, and sauces all

[19:57] season long. Make the best salsa or

[19:59] bruschetta you've ever tasted. Plus, the

[20:01] Topsy Turvy also grows mouthwatering

[20:03] cuces, peppers, zucchini, and herbs. It

[20:06] hangs conveniently on any size porch,

[20:08] deck, patio, condo, or apartment

[20:10] balcony. Your family will be amazed, and

[20:12] your friends will wonder how your

[20:14] tomatoes grew so big. And all you did

[20:16] was plant, hang, and water. So why do

[20:18] all that digging, weeding, and

[20:20] backbreaking work when now you can enjoy

[20:22] delicious homegrown tomatoes without the

[20:24] work with the Topsy Turvy tomato planter

[20:27] for only $19.99. You'll also receive our

[20:30] Four Seasons recipe guide packed with

[21:06] >> On the CBS Money Watch, Asian stocks

[21:09] climb as Japan unveils a new economic

[21:11] stimulus plan. Claire Leica is here in

[21:13] New York with more. Good morning,

[21:14] Claire.

[21:15] >> Good morning to you, Karen. The global

[21:17] rally entered its fifth straight week

[21:19] overnight. Asian markets posted more

[21:21] solid gains amid hopes the worst of the

[21:23] financial crisis is over. Hong Kong

[21:26] stock soared 3%. Japan's benchmark NIK

[21:29] was up more than 1%. Wall Street faces a

[21:33] critical test this week. It's the start

[21:34] of first quarter earnings season. And

[21:37] how the stock market reacts will be

[21:39] crucial to whether the four-week rally

[21:41] has legs. Investors hope that the best

[21:44] month-long stretch of gains for stocks

[21:46] since the 1930s will continue for a

[21:48] fifth straight week. Aluminum giant

[21:50] Alcoa will be the first company to turn

[21:53] in its quarterly report card tomorrow.

[21:55] Now, the Dow Jones Industrial Average

[21:57] starts the holiday shortened week with a

[21:59] gain of 39 points. The Nasdaq begins up

[22:03] 19. And the nation's airlines improved

[22:06] their customer service last year.

[22:08] According to an annual survey of the 17

[22:11] biggest carriers from Witchah State and

[22:13] St. Louis universities due out today,

[22:15] on-time arrivals were up 3% in 2008 from

[22:19] the same period a year ago. Hawaiian

[22:22] Airlines had the best on-time

[22:24] performance at 90%.

[22:26] American Airlines though had the worst

[22:28] at 69%.

[22:30] The airlines also lost fewer bags. Only

[22:33] about 5.2 of them were mishandled for

[22:36] every 100,000 passengers. Airran had the

[22:40] best track record. American Eagle had

[22:43] the worst. And the number of passenger

[22:45] complaints was also down. US Airways

[22:47] performed the worst. It had two

[22:49] complaints for every 100,000 passengers.

[22:52] Southwest Airlines had the best with

[22:54] only one quarter of a percent of

[22:56] complaints per 100,000 passengers. Karen

[23:00] >> Claire Leica here in New York. Thank you

[23:01] very much. In Bingington, New York,

[23:04] officials defended the response to

[23:06] Friday's shooting rampage, saying all 13

[23:09] victims would have died even if police

[23:11] had moved in more quickly. Yesterday,

[23:13] families and friends honored the victims

[23:15] who included immigrants from eight

[23:17] different countries. Jeff Gll reports.

[23:20] >> On Sunday night, hundreds came from

[23:22] around Bingington to remember a group of

[23:24] people who came from around the world.

[23:31] Leila Khalik left Iraq with her husband

[23:34] of 31 years and her three kids following

[23:36] three car bombings in their Baghdad

[23:38] neighborhood.

[23:39] >> I lose my love is 17 years old. I'm 17.

[23:42] I lose my love, my mother.

[23:44] >> Robera King, a local, was 72 but refused

[23:47] to retire, said she just enjoyed

[23:49] teaching English too much. Dolores Yagal

[23:52] came from the Philippines after meeting

[23:53] her perfect match, husband Omry. The

[23:56] list of those who died released today

[23:58] shows they were from around the world.

[24:00] China, Haiti, Vietnam, Pakistan, Iraq,

[24:03] and the US.

[24:04] >> All died inside the American Civic

[24:06] Association. Shot by Gibberly Wong, an

[24:09] immigrant himself from Vietnam.

[24:11] >> It was like firecrackers,

[24:13] like a barrage of firecracker noises.

[24:15] >> 41-year-old Gibberly Wong was upstairs,

[24:18] firing shot after shot, killing 13

[24:20] people, then himself. Gruss found a way

[24:23] to protect her students downstairs. It

[24:25] was almost an automatic pilot type

[24:27] thing. And uh my thought was to get them

[24:30] in a safe place. And I I had been down

[24:33] there before, so I knew it was safe. I

[24:35] knew it had thick walls and thick doors.

[24:37] >> She went to the boiler room where 26

[24:40] people huddled for 3 hours. We know that

[24:42] Wong, who came over from Vietnam in the

[24:45] early '9s, took classes at the center in

[24:47] February, that he'd expressed

[24:48] frustration over his English skills, and

[24:50] that he'd been spending plenty of time

[24:52] at a gun shop and pistol range. But

[24:54] police said today they may never fully

[24:56] understand why he did what he did. K

[24:59] Gruss says no matter what, she'll keep

[25:01] doing what she was doing.

[25:03] >> Will you go back?

[25:04] >> Oh yeah.

[25:06] >> You're not going to stop teaching.

[25:07] >> No. These people need our help.

[25:14] >> Day after day, allergy season drags on.

[25:18] >> Oh, how many days are you going to

[25:20] suffer? Nasex is the only prescription

[25:22] that's proven to help prevent most

[25:24] seasonal nasal allergy symptoms

[25:26] including congestion so you can have

[25:28] more symptomfree days.

[25:30] >> Side effects were generally mild and

[25:32] include headache, viral infection, sore

[25:33] throat, nose bleeds and coughing

[25:35] >> and sent Nasonex for more symptomfree

[25:38] days. It does not come in generic form.

[25:40] So ask your doctor about Nason X.

[25:57] >> All clothes should be play clothes.

[25:59] That's our fashion statement. With Sears

[26:01] Kid Vantage Guarantee, their clothes

[26:03] won't wear out before they've grown out.

[26:05] And right now, great brands for the

[26:07] whole family are 40 to 50% off.

[26:10] Sears life well spent.

[26:22] Just need that mountain lift before you

[26:25] share your gift.

[26:29] Now there's

[26:33] making their hearts.

[26:36] The best part of waking up

[26:40] in your

[26:45] >> Here's a look at the weather in some

[26:46] cities around the country. New York rain

[26:49] developing 56. Miami afternoon thunder

[26:52] 88. Chicago cloudy and windy and 36.

[26:54] Denver sunny 42. LA sunny and 80.

[27:00] Time now for a check on the national

[27:02] forecast. The latest satellite picture

[27:04] shows gray skies extending from the east

[27:06] coast to the cold and snowy Midwest.

[27:09] Skies are beginning to clear across the

[27:11] South. It's clear from the plains to the

[27:13] Pacific. Later today, cold, gusty winds

[27:16] will whip bands of heavy wet snow across

[27:18] the eastern Great Lakes and Ohio Valley.

[27:20] Showers and thunderstorms will soak the

[27:22] Northeast and the South will turn windy

[27:24] and sharply colder. But it will be a

[27:27] beautiful day in the West. It may be the

[27:30] start of the baseball season, but it's

[27:32] still like winter in Chicago this

[27:34] morning. Forecasters expect two to five

[27:36] inches of rain, sleet, and snow in the

[27:39] Windy City today. So, the White Socks

[27:41] have postponed their season opener

[27:43] against uh Kansas City until tomorrow.

[27:47] But there was no snow in Philadelphia

[27:49] last night for the first game of the

[27:51] season. The world champion Philly

[27:52] celebrated before the game, but then

[27:54] they had to face Atlanta's Derek Low. He

[27:57] pitched eight superb innings and the

[27:58] Braves got three home runs, one by

[28:01] rookie center fielder Jordan Schaefer in

[28:03] his first career at bat. Braves four,

[28:06] Phils one. In basketball, it was the

[28:09] Will Binham show for Detroit. Binham

[28:11] scored a franchise record 26 points in

[28:13] the fourth quarter as the Pistons beat

[28:15] the Charlotte Bobcats 10497.

[28:19] In Dallas, Jason Kidd had 19 points and

[28:22] 20 assists, passing Magic Johnson for

[28:24] third on the all-time assist list. The

[28:26] Mavericks got 81 points in the first

[28:28] half and beat the Phoenix Suns 140 to

[28:31] 116.

[28:32] And the NCAA men's college basketball

[28:35] championship will be decided tonight.

[28:38] North Carolina's Tar Hills are getting

[28:40] ready to take on underdog Michigan State

[28:42] in Detroit, the Spartans own backyard.

[28:45] And you can see it here on CBS. Coverage

[28:47] of the NCAA final game begins at 900 p.

[28:50] p.m. Eastern. When we return, another

[28:53] look at this morning's top stories. And

[28:55] president uh the president arrives in

[28:57] Turkey seeking support from NATO's only

[29:00] Muslim member.

[29:07] New Stoofers Corner Beastro Stromboli.

[29:11] Seasoned Italian style crust filled with

[29:13] delicious meats and real cheese. Because

[29:15] getting ready for a good dinner,

[29:17] >> hey,

[29:18] >> doesn't always mean setting the table.

[29:20] >> New from Stoers.

[29:22] >> I was discovered for my smile. Now I

[29:24] take total care of it.

[29:26] >> New Act Total Care mouthwash kills

[29:28] germs, promotes healthy gums, rebuilds

[29:30] enamel, even strengthens teeth. New Act

[29:33] Total Care does it all.

[29:34] >> Are you taking total care of your smile?

[29:37] >> I'm Bruce Johnson and I'm an inventor.

[29:39] >> I was always congested at night and that

[29:41] meant a bad night of sleep. I tried

[29:43] everything from padded paper clips to

[29:45] straws. Finally, one night I was laying

[29:47] in bed and I thought outside of the

[29:49] nose, not inside.

[29:50] >> Inside breathe right nasal strips are

[29:52] two plastic bands that lift open nasal

[29:54] passages so you breathe better and sleep

[29:56] better.

[29:56] >> My nasal passages stay open

[30:00] and I can breathe really quite relaxed.

[30:02] >> If you have a cold, allergies, deviated

[30:04] septum or snore, try breathe right and

[30:06] you'll notice a difference.

[30:08] >> Autism steals. Autism leaves an empty

[30:11] shell. Autism is no hope, no future.

[30:14] These aren't facts. These are myths. I'm

[30:17] an autistic person and a national

[30:19] conversation about autism is happening

[30:21] without us.

[30:22] >> I am a mother, a wife, a writer, a

[30:25] social worker, and an activist.

[30:27] >> I'm a mathematician, musician, and

[30:30] scholar. I can speak for myself.

[30:32] >> Our lives are not tragedies.

[30:35] >> You must hear our voices.

[30:36] >> Leave the old stereotypes behind. If it

[30:39] were easy, everyone would do it. It

[30:42] takes a very special person to join the

[30:44] National Multiple Sclerosis Society's

[30:46] bike tours to end the devastating

[30:47] effects of MS. If you are that special

[30:50] person, seeking a challenge, wanting to

[30:53] make a difference in a friend or

[30:54] neighbor's life and eager to have a

[30:56] really good time, call 1800 FightMS for

[31:00] information on the date and MS bike tour

[31:02] nearest you.

[31:10] On the CBS Morning News, here's a look

[31:12] at today's weather. Cold, gusty winds

[31:14] will whip two to five inches of wet snow

[31:17] across the eastern Great Lakes and Ohio

[31:19] Valley. Heavy rain will soak much of the

[31:21] Northeast, but it'll be bright and sunny

[31:23] from the Plains to the Pacific.

[31:32] Here's another look at this morning's

[31:33] top stories. Italy earthquake. A

[31:35] powerful earthquake rocked central Italy

[31:37] early this morning, killing at least 27

[31:40] people. The quake was centered about 60

[31:42] miles northeast of Rome. Thousands are

[31:45] homeless. Violence vigil, a service was

[31:48] held for the 13 victims of Friday's

[31:50] shooting rampage at an immigrant center

[31:51] in Bingington, New York. And war dead. A

[31:55] nearly two decade ban on news coverage

[31:57] of returning American war dead is over.

[32:00] Air Force Staff Sergeant Philip Meyer's

[32:02] body arrived last night at Dover Air

[32:04] Force Base. He was killed in Afghanistan

[32:06] on Saturday. As we've reported,

[32:09] President Obama is in Turkey this

[32:10] morning, the beginning of a two-day

[32:12] visit to America's closest Muslim ally.

[32:14] Charlie Dageda is in London with more.

[32:16] Good morning, Charlie.

[32:18] >> Good morning to you, Karen. The G20

[32:20] summit here in London, the NATO summit

[32:22] in Strawburg, the North Korean missile

[32:24] launch. It's been a busy week for the

[32:26] president. Now he's in Turkey in an

[32:28] effort to strengthen ties with a close

[32:30] American ally.

[32:32] They're the first steps President Barack

[32:34] Obama has taken in a Muslim country

[32:36] since taking office. He laid a wreath at

[32:39] the tomb of Turkeykey's founder before

[32:41] meeting the country's president in the

[32:43] capital Anchora. President Obama is

[32:45] hoping for Turkeykey's help in the US

[32:47] pull out from Iraq and to turn around

[32:49] the war in Afghanistan. Turkey could

[32:51] also help convince Iran to stop its

[32:54] nuclear ambitions. Over the weekend in

[32:56] Prague, the president repeated that

[32:58] America is ready to talk.

[33:00] >> My administration will seek engagement

[33:02] with Iran based on mutual interests and

[33:05] mutual respect. We believe

[33:08] in dialogue.

[33:10] >> The president will spend two days in

[33:12] Turkey, the last stop of his first

[33:14] overseas tour, a trip that took him

[33:16] through Britain, France, Germany, and

[33:19] the Czech Republic.

[33:21] >> But his trip to Turkey is being met by

[33:23] protests.

[33:24] The country of 77 million Muslims is a

[33:27] key US ally and the only Muslim member

[33:30] of the NATO military alliance. The

[33:32] president's plan to move more NATO

[33:34] forces into Afghanistan has some

[33:36] protesters angry at the prospect of

[33:39] Muslims fighting Muslims.

[33:41] >> They want to pull Turkey into

[33:43] international war zones, says this

[33:44] Turkish demonstrator. That's why this is

[33:47] a very dangerous trip. Turkish security

[33:50] teams are preparing for more protests

[33:52] when the president travels to Istanbul

[33:54] later today.

[33:56] >> Now, it's the first time the president

[33:58] is traveling without the first lady,

[34:00] Michelle Obama, who has returned to

[34:02] Washington after her own whirlwind tour

[34:04] of Europe. Karen,

[34:05] >> yeah, and Charlie, we all know that

[34:07] Michelle Obama was a huge hit there in

[34:09] Great Britain. How was she received on

[34:11] the whole throughout Europe?

[34:13] >> She really went down a storm starting

[34:15] with that embrace that she shared with

[34:17] the queen here in Britain. break

[34:19] breaking protocol and then uh her

[34:21] appearance in Paris and in in the Czech

[34:24] Republic really adoration and uh an

[34:27] agilation toward the first lady. Karen.

[34:29] >> All right, Charlie Dageda in London.

[34:31] Thank you so much. This morning on the

[34:34] Early Show, new revelations about Ponzi

[34:36] schemer Bernie Maidoff's wife, plus new

[34:38] rules for dating in a down economy. I'm

[34:41] Karen Brown and this is the CBS Morning

[34:43] News.

[34:45] We asked one woman to wash with soap,

[34:47] another with Dove. If you could see the

[34:50] difference, you'd see soap leaves an

[34:52] invisible layer of scum on your skin.

[34:54] Dove leaves no soap scum for smooth,

[34:57] clean skin. Feel the difference for

[34:59] yourself.

[36:51] They celebrated the 25th anniversary of

[36:54] Wrestlemania last night in Houston.

[36:56] Oscar nominee Mickey Roar got into the

[36:58] ring surprising Chris Jericho with some

[37:01] of his moves and the crowd loved it. As

[37:03] you can imagine, over 70,000 fans

[37:06] attended the performance and more than a

[37:08] million watched on pay-per-view. In

[37:10] addition to wrestling, there were

[37:11] musical performances by Kid Rock and

[37:13] others. And 25 years after it all

[37:16] started, some of the biggest stars of

[37:18] wrestling came back for the annual

[37:19] extravaganza to honor the greatest

[37:21] moments from the world's sweatiest soap

[37:24] opera.

[37:34] of the top awards. As Manuel Gaggas

[37:49] female vocalist.

[37:50] >> I've had a lot of good moments um in the

[37:53] past four years.

[37:57] >> This one takes the cake. Another young

[38:00] star, Taylor Swift, took home album of

[38:02] the year.

[38:03] >> A lot of people that know me know that

[38:04] if I talk to you for more than five

[38:06] minutes, I'm probably going to write a

[38:07] song about you.

[38:10] So, that being said, I'd like to thank

[38:12] all the characters.

[38:15] >> Top male vocalist went to Brad Paisley,

[38:17] who had to give his acceptance speech

[38:18] from home because his wife is about to

[38:20] have a baby.

[38:21] >> I wish I could be there, but I didn't

[38:22] want to take the chance missing the the

[38:24] birth of our our next child. Jamie

[38:27] Johnson grabbed the first award, song of

[38:29] the year for In Color.

[38:30] >> Thanks to my band, too, for going in on

[38:32] a off day and producing an off off

[38:35] record.

[38:36] >> Now, before the show out here on the

[38:38] orange carpet, the artist had a lot to

[38:40] say about their fans and also where they

[38:42] find their inspiration for their songs.

[38:45] >> I write about love.

[38:46] >> Love and the loss of love and drinking

[38:48] too much because you got left.

[38:51] Wall Street.

[38:52] >> But it's the recession that inspired

[38:54] John Rich's latest hit.

[38:56] >> The lyric says, "In the real world,

[38:57] they're shutting Detroit down while the

[38:59] boss man takes his bonus pay and jets

[39:02] his lousy butt out of town." Basically,

[39:04] that's what it says.

[39:06] >> In a brand new category, Julianne Hoff

[39:08] won for top new artist.

[39:09] >> And of course, I can't thank you guys

[39:11] enough, the fans.

[39:17] >> You guys are amazing. I would not be

[39:19] here without you. So, thank you so much.

[39:22] >> And it was country music's young talent

[39:24] that stole the show. Legendary performer

[39:26] George Strait was nominated for six

[39:28] awards,

[39:30] but walked away empty-handed. Manuel

[39:32] Gaygas, CBS News, Las Vegas.

[39:35] >> And that sounds like a country music

[39:37] song just waiting to be written. That's

[39:39] the CBS Morning News for this Monday.

[39:41] Thank you for being here with us. We

[39:43] hope you'll join us later for the Early

[39:44] Show. I'm Karen Brown. Have a great day.

[39:49] the obvious

[39:52] fantasy. I realize you love yourself

[39:55] more than you could ever

[40:10] stories today in South Florida. Well,

[40:12] this morning, surveillance video may

[40:13] help police catch the driver of an SUV

[40:15] that smashed into a car filled with

[40:17] passengers, leaving one woman in

[40:19] critical condition.

[40:20] >> A family is appealing for help after

[40:22] their 16-year-old son is robbed and then

[40:24] senselessly gunned down in front of a

[40:26] Lau Lauderdale Lakes high school.

[40:28] >> President Obama is in Turkey today on a

[40:30] quest to improve US relations with the

[40:32] Muslim world. Meanwhile, he's also

[40:35] condemning North Korea's missile launch

[40:36] yesterday, which happened before he gave

[40:38] a speech on eliminating nuclear weapons.

[40:41] It may not be summer yet, but the boys

[40:42] of summer are ready in South Florida.

[40:44] It's opening day for the Florida Marlins

[40:46] as they take on the Washington

[40:48] Nationals.

[40:48] >> Yay.

[40:49] >> I know. It's exciting.

[40:50] >> Yes, it is.

[40:52] >> So, the new the question would be then

[40:54] weatherwise, how are we going to do for

[40:56] opening day? Is it going to be a good

[40:57] one at the ballpark?

[40:58] >> I think we're going to be okay. It's

[40:59] going to be a hot day today, though. 92

[41:01] degrees could possibly be our high

[41:02] temperature.

[41:03] >> It has been sticky.

[41:04] >> It's been very sticky. We have a cold

[41:05] front moving through today. Pretty

[41:07] powerful one. It's not going to bring us

[41:08] much rain, so I don't think it's going

[41:09] to be a wash out. We could see a few

[41:11] scattered showers, but temperatures are

[41:13] going to drop dramatically tomorrow

[41:16] behind this front. We could drop as many

[41:18] as 10 to 15 degrees across the area as

[41:20] far as your high temperatures go. This

[41:22] is your Titan radar in HD. We are dry

[41:24] this morning across South Florida. All

[41:26] the rain we're seeing is well to the

[41:28] north and it's just a little bit of rain

[41:30] at that. Really not much associated with

[41:32] this front. That's going to continue to

[41:34] slide down to the south throughout the

[41:35] day. Eventually be in South Florida

[41:37] later this afternoon. So, we could see a

[41:39] few showers like we said, but not a wash

[41:42] out. 80. Um, temperatures right now,

[41:44] actually around 75 degrees, winds out of

[41:46] the southeast at 8. Um, we are going to

[41:49] see those temperatures climb though

[41:50] throughout the day. And, uh, we'll talk

[41:52] more about this cool down coming up in

[41:54] just a little bit. Let's head over to

[41:55] traffic with Roxy.

[41:58] Thanks, Jen. And at 5:00 this morning,

[42:00] start you off with a traffic alert. It's

[42:01] actually a construction alert this

[42:03] morning, and it's for those of you

[42:04] commuting in Monroe. The 7mi bridge on

[42:06] Overseas Highway is closed in both

[42:08] directions between mile marker 39 and

[42:11] 46. It's closed for 4 hours today. Could

[42:13] have been as closed as early as 8:00

[42:15] p.m. But needless to say, speed limit

[42:17] down to 35 miles an hour here. You'll

[42:20] pretty much be stopped whether you're

[42:21] traveling north or south here. Same

[42:23] exact closure coming your way April

[42:25] 20th. So a heads up to you there. Some

[42:27] major long-term construction there on

[42:29] the Seven Mile Bridge. Here are the rest

[42:30] of your headlines in Dade County for

[42:32] you. Good morning. uh moving well,

[42:33] accidentfree on 95, the 836, and on the

[42:36] 826. We had a serious overnight there

[42:39] southbound on the turnpike in Date

[42:40] County. Brower County, much quieter.

[42:42] Just uh construction there to worry

[42:44] about in Broward County. Getting out to

[42:46] the maps this morning, that overnight

[42:47] injury accident was southbound turnpike

[42:50] right at Kendall Drive. At one point,

[42:52] FHP reporting all lanes closed near

[42:54] southbound turnpike at Kendall Drive.

[42:55] So, expect that uh to still possibly be

[42:57] over on the shoulder with onlooker

[42:59] delays on the approach. Of course, not

[43:00] many people traveling at 501 this

[43:02] morning, though. Other closures this

[43:04] morning on the gate 36. If you're

[43:05] traveling westbound at 42nd, that's Ljun

[43:07] and the on-ramp to Northwest 107th

[43:10] Avenue. If you're traveling westbound on

[43:11] the 836, that is closed. Detours mapped

[43:14] out in that area. Up into Bard, we go,

[43:16] like I said, much much quieter this

[43:18] morning. Southbound Turbike, some

[43:20] construction there uh right at 595. also

[43:22] at commercial and uh in that area

[43:25] reported southbound 75. That's some

[43:27] long-term construction there right at

[43:28] the 595 offramps. So look out for that.

[43:31] That's the latest on your roads and your

[43:32] weather. Now back to your news. Roxy,

[43:35] thank you. A vicious hit and run is

[43:37] caught on camera. Police say a driver

[43:39] runs a red light and smashes into a car

[43:41] loaded with passengers this morning. One

[43:43] person is in the hospital with some

[43:45] pretty serious injuries. Steve Litz

[43:47] joins us live from Jackson Memorial

[43:49] Hospital with more on the story this

[43:50] morning. Steve, good morning.

[43:52] >> Pam, good morning. The latest

[43:53] information we have is that Anna Alonso,

[43:56] the woman who was in that car, is in

[43:57] critical condition here at Jackson

[43:59] Memorial. Uh there is surveillance video

[44:01] that we want to show you first. Before

[44:03] you first though, take a look at the car

[44:04] that that Alfonso is in. Back driver

[44:08] side
