No surprise that people are divided about what happened in georgia today. Gun control advocates are calling it the most extreme gun bill in america, but gun rights supporters say its the most comprehensive progun bill in the states history. The law enacted today will, among other things, allow licensed gun owners to take concealed weapons to more places than ever and limit what Police Officers can do. Mark strassmann is in atlanta. You know i believe im in the safest place in the state of georgia right now. cheers and applause reporter several hundred gun right supporters, many with firearms their himself, cheered georgias new law. State representative rick jasperse. No one should be scared of these people. Theyve done nothing wrong in the past. Its appropriate that those good georgians, if they choose to take that responsibility to defend themselves that they are able to do that. Reporter to qualify for a concealed weapons permit, georgians must be 21, have no drug or weapon felony convictions and not have been a patient in a mental facility within the past five years. The law also extends the same rights to visitors with permits from 24 states. On july 1, theyll be allowed to carry guns into bars and churches that permit them, and government buildings that do not have security screening. Schools can decide whether to allow teachers or administrators to arm themselves. Permit holders can also bring guns into part of atlantas airport, the worlds busiest, including shops and areas outside the security checkpoint. Kathryn grant with gun sense Coalition Opposes the law. This is a sad day for georgia, not a day to celebrate a dangerous law that will now put the lives of georgian and all who visit our state at risk. Reporter the law also limits the police. An officer can ask someone carrying a fire arm if they have a permit but under the new law, the person will not have to show proof. Cedric alexander is the Public Safety director of atlantas dekalb county. A suspicious guy walks down the street with a bulge, looks like a gun, under the new law what can your officer do . Under the new law nothing. Even if its not covered up and its out in the open we can not walk up and say, do you have a license to go with that weapon . There have to be other extenuating circumstances that bring us to that person. Reporter guns are still not allowed to be carried on College Campuses here. Scott, there are roughly 500,000 georgians who have concealed weapons permits. Pelley Mark Strassmann in our atlanta newsroom. Mark, thank you. Russias foreign minister warned today that any attacks on russians in Eastern Ukraine would be considered an attack on russia itself. Tensions are rising. The u. S. Backed Ukrainian Government said it will use force to put down prorussian activists in the east. The Obama Administration sent a message of its own today as it began smallscale military exercises with nato allies near russia. 150 u. S. Army paratroopers flew to poland for maneuvers that will last about a month. A few hundred american soldiers are also going to estonia, latvia, and lithuania. It was last month that russia annexed ukraines crimean peninsula, and since then, russia has been massing thousands of troops near the border. Prorussian militias have taken government buildings in eastern you ukraine, and Holly Williams is in donetsk. Reporter ukraines pro russian separatists are watching and waiting for Government Forces to make their move. In donetsk, theyve occupied the Administration Building for over two weeks. One of the masked men defending it is artiam, a coal miner. Are you worried that the Government Forces might come here and try to force you out . No, he told us. We wait for them every day and night, but they dont come. Were not afraid of them. Today, Russian Foreign minister Sergey Lavrov issued the strongest warning yet that if there is more violence here, moscow could intervene as it did six years ago in south ossetia. If we attacked, we would certainly respond. If our interests, legitimate interests, the interests of russians have been attacked directly, like they were in south ossetia, for example, i dont see any other way but to respond in full accordance with international law. Reporter russia denies ukraines allegations that its agents are already aiding the insurgency, but its massed troops and is carrying out military exercises just over the border. The separatists want a referendum, and they hope for an independent state. They say ukraines government discriminates against russian speakers in the countrys east, and they blame the u. S. For supporting ukraines leaders in kiev. If this does spiral into civil war, the fear is the u. S. And russia would be dragged into the conflict. Pelley holly is joining us now. Holly, we heard earlier today that the Ukrainian Government was going to send troops to a village near where you are. Do you know what happened . Reporter well, scott, Ukraines Interior Ministry said that the village of svyatohirsk was liberated from separatists by the countrys special forces but this could be part of the propaganda war being waged here bought because when we spoke to local residents they told us their village had never been occupied by separatists and they hadnt seen any soldiers or any fighting. Pelley a war of perception. Thank you very much, holly. Well, ukraine may have been on president obamas 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 japans Prime Minister at a famous sushi restaurant. Theyll 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. Its a reward for egypt keeping its Peace Agreement with israel, but this is the same dictatorship that overthrew egypts only democratically elected government. In cairo, Clarissa Ward caught up with some of the diehard 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 30year dictatorship. We first met Sherief Gaber at a protest in late 2011. He had returned from studying in the u. S. To join the revolution. The bravery of the people around me is really what drove me. I mean, i was coming back and feeling actually quite disoriented, but seeing all of these other people around me doing what they were doing, standing up the way they were, is what actually gave me heart. Reporter but the triumph in Tahrir Square was shortlived. Liberal activists were pushed aside when the Muslim Brotherhood swept the elections and then again as the military overthrew that government, launching a crackdown on any form of dissent. I have a lot of friends who have been arrested. Reporter why . Why were they arrested . Any number of Different Reasons for being in protests, for being accused of organizing protests. You know, ive had friends accused of being a part of terrorist organizations. Ive had friends accused of possessing weapons. Reporter Authorities Say theyre fighting a war on terror, and that strong measures are necessary. But activist Khaled Abdullah believes that an authoritarian regime can never bring stability. You dont have any ideas to offer people. You dont have any hope to offer people. You dont have anything, other than guns and a discourse of hatred. Reporter are we there now . Thats where we are now. Reporter but neither is willing to give up on democracy. Look at any Major Movement in history, from the Civil Rights Movement to the abolition of slavery to the right to vote, to the right for women to vote none of these processes began and ended in three years. They took decades. Reporter for egypts fledgling democracy, the struggle has just begun. Clarissa ward, cbs news, cairo.

There was some excitement this morning when we found out that a large piece of debris had washed up on australias west coast, but tonight, australias transportation minister said it is not part of Malaysia Flight 370. No trace of the plane or the 239 people on board has been found. But we wanted to check in with transportation correspondent jeff pegues. Jeff, what was that debris that they thought they had . Reporter scott, australian officials have not said what the debris is but it may be more of the random debris thats found in the ocean. It was found on a remote stretch of shoreline near the town of augusta, nearly 200 miles south of perth. It was discovered a few days ago but only analyzed today because of the holiday weekend. And, scott, while there was initial optimism that this could be a breakthrough, late today, australias transport safety chief said that he was confident the debris was not from the missing jet. Pelley and how is the rest of the search going . Reporter scott, the underwater search for the wreckage continues. The u. S. Navys robotic submarine the blue fin 21 has covered more than 80 of its search area but has not found anything yet. Australian Officials Say if the blue fin turns up nothing they plan on bringing in more powerful sonar that can search deeper beneath the surface of the indian ocean. Pelley longest jetliner mystery in history. Transportation correspondent, jeff pegues, thank you. There is no history tonight about the fate of hundreds of High School Students who were trapped in a ferry that capsized and sank last week off south korea. 159 bodies have been recovered, but families are still waiting for at least 145 more. Seth doane is there. Reporter families of the missing wait for that announcement, which only confirms what they already know. Its been eight days since the ferry sank off the south korean coast. When a body is found in the wreckage, anything that can help identify the person is posted on slips of paper. A female with pink nail polish who had a root canal. Someone else was wearing pants with a flower print. Or a man with a blue watch. Theyre details and vivid reminders of a life lost. The grim postings on boards and giant tv screens across jindo are part of a strange new routine for these families. Read the newspaper, check those posts, wait. Most of the missing or dead were students from Danwon High School in ansan near seoul. There are so many funerals planned there, that families have been forced to go to neighboring cities to find space for the service. This senior at the high school said students keep crying while watching news reports. In jindo, yellow ribbons have been pinned up, symbolizing hope. But the most parents can hope for now is an end to an agonizing wait. Seth doane, cbs news, jindo, south korea. Pelley two americans walked in space today for a critical repair mission. The i. R. S. Gives bonuses to employees who fail to pay their own taxes. And a rescue team heads out to save a mountain climber at yosemite when the cbs evening news continues. Pelley it was just days ago that a lot of americans settled up with the tax collector, so about the last thing they wanted to hear today was that some of their tax money went to pay bonuses to more than 2,800 tax collectors who faced disciplinary action. Some of them for failing to pay their taxes. Heres nancy cordes. Reporter the i. R. S. Is supposed to crack down on tax cheats, but a new report by internal watchdogs found that i. R. S. Employees who owed back taxes, misused travel cards or even committed fraud still received more than 2. 8 million worth of bonuses between 2010 and 2012. Some of them also got extra time off or pay raises. Gregory kutz led the investigation. Hes an assistant Inspector General at the treasury department. Why would someone with serious conduct issues get a bonus . Well, in this particular case because there were no controls or processes to prevent that. That was not something except for executives, that i. R. S. Had in place to prevent awards. There was no governmentwide requirement and no process to prevent it. Reporter do you think that should change . Absolutely. Reporter in a statement, the i. R. S. Vowed to examine the problem saying, we strive to protect the integrity of the tax system and we recognize the need for proper personnel policies. But california republican, darrell issa, who is one of the agencys toughest critics, says the i. R. S. Should have acted a long time ago. I. R. S. Has the authority to withhold these bonuses and take action, but, clearly, the culture is that this is an entitlement, and the entitlement to bonuses is part of the problem governmentwide. Reporter a reported 1 of the i. R. S. Workforce owes back taxes to the i. R. S. Thats about 1,000 people, but its still the lowest rate of any federal agency and, scott, its quite low when you consider that 8 of the general public owes back taxes to the federal government. Pelley so, nancy what, is the i. R. S. Going to do Going Forward . Reporter well, the agency says it needs until about june to study the problem to figure out what to do, and to see whether it needs to renegotiate contracts with the main i. R. S. Employees union. But if they dont come up with a proposed solution by then, you can bet republicans on capitol hill are going to be calling the administrator back up here to testify about why not. Pelley nancy cordes on capitol hill. Thank you, nancy. Well, it looks like the Housing Market is cooling.

Get those hands up. Get the blade in. Reporter this is where you can find montana butsch yes, that is his nameand oarsmen from the inner city. You dont usually put inner city and rowing together in the same sentence. No you definitely dont and that makes it terribly exciting. Reporter butsch took up rowing at 15, competed in college, and sees no reason why his young friends cannot follow in his wake. It switches a lot of kids on, and then they totally embrace it. Its really fun to see that happen. Reporter brian behena is a coxswain, captain of the crew, and navigator of the boat. I didnt even know about the sport existed until he came to our school and introduced us to it and im glad i took advantage of coming out to row. Reporter to enjoy it, the teenagers had to overcome the reality of chicagos mean streets. A few of our kids have been jumped by gangs or by people they dont like in their neighborhoods.

But we want to retain them in a responsible way. Reporter but that could be a challenge in the case of the as for example the first hitch is 5 million in back rents that the as have withheld over the past five years over a parking tax dispute with the coliseum. Thats taxpayers money. That 5 million can be used for Public Safety. It can be used for housing.

We need tow make sure that its being paid for by the private sector, maybe with some Public Sector resources being involved. Reporter the as e so looking for hefty rent credits, as well.
