Of the clippers is the leagues first major move to seize control of the team since owner Donald Sterling was banned for life. In a statement, parsons said hes been, deeply troubled by the pain the clippers team, fans, and partners have endured. And he said hes honored to help them open a new, inspiring era for their team. Nba commissioner adam silver announced the league would try to force sterling to sell the team after a racially charged recording of a conversation with a former girlfriend became public.

Mayor rich garcetti told cbs face the nation he expects a battle. He thinks that hes going to be owner for a long time, that he wants to stay the owner.

But her lawyer, pierce odonnell, told us she wont sell, either. How hard is she willing to fight for this . She loves the team. If she could avoid a public battle, she will.

The department of Veterans Affairs has faced increasing criticism this week that doesnt of patients died because they waited too long. Today, Wyatt Andrews obtained a v. A. Document that may show forcing patients to wait was standard operating procedure. Reporter lonnie ruscito, a vietnam veteran, says it took him years to get one medical test at the v. A. Hospital in phoenix. I have had seven aneurysms, as i said. I havent had a ct scan in two years. Wheres my appointment . Reporter ruscito was among the dozens of veterans and family members at a town hall meeting in phoenix. They were discussing allegations the v. A. Hospital here kept a secret list of patients who couldnt get appointments within the v. A. s target time of 14 days. Debbie valle says her husband, cecil, died of Prostate Cancer waiting for treatment. It took two months to see his prostate. His cancer doctor when they found out he did have cancer. Reporter we obtained this v. A. Memo today, explaining the process of gaming the appointments system. It was written by david newman, a v. A. Staff member, in cheyenne, wyoming. If exceed the 14day measure for scheduling appointments, the front office gets very upset. He outlined a way to get around it. When patients called for an appointment, they were not booked into the computer until an appointment came up no later than 14 days away. That way, the memo says, you get off the bad boys list. The v. A. Responded today by launching a new investigation in cheyenne and by putting the author of the memo on leave. The revelations from this scandal are expanding. Brian turner, a veteran and v. A. Worker in san antonio, told our cbs station kens that secret lists existed in texas and that the formula for creating the list was well known. This isnt just one clerk. This isnt just a couple of clerks or one area. Apparently, this guideline came down from someone, this guidance or coaching skill, came down from someone above. How far up, i dont know. Reporter the v. A. Has now launched a National Investigation into this scheduling process. Officials tell us the 14day target for appointments was supposed to speed things up for veterans, but, jeff, its now clear that goal became an incentive to conceal the number of veterans who could not be seen on time. Glor and the secretary of Veterans Affairswill testify on thursday. Wyatt, thank you very much. Today, it was revealed for the first time that a drone had a close call with a passenger jetliner. That happened over the florida panhandle. Transportation correspondent jeff pegues is looking into this. Jeff, what happened . Reporter well, jeff, an f. A. A. Spokesperson says it was a u. S. Airways regional jet and a drone that nearly collided in midair. It happened on march 22 at an altitude of about 2,300 feet as a us airways jet was coming in for a landing at tallahassee regional airport. We dont know how close the plane and the drone came to each other, nor do we know what kind of drone it was or who was controlling it. Glor drones are, obviously, increasingly popular. Is anything being done to prevent this kind of thing from happening in the future . Reporter jeff, the f. A. A. Is working on regulations and standards, but theyre not expected to be on the books until late next year. But it might take longer than that because there are several issues at play here, including privacy and safety, as we now see with this incident from march 22. Glor jeff pegues, thank you very much. Russia put on a huge display today. The annual celebration of the world war ii victory over nazi germany was bigger than usual. Vladimir putin stood triumphant, and later continued his victory lap in crimea, which russia took from ukraine in march. The u. S. State department called his visit provocative. Clarissa ward has more. Reporter it was the moment they had been waiting for their first visit from their new leader. President putin appeared to relish his welcome. Hello, comrades, he shouted, riding high on a wave of fierce patriotism in the wake of russias annexation of crimea. But in eastern ukraine, putins visit was overshadowed by fierce clashes between the Ukrainian Military and prorussian separatists. In the city of mariupol, Ukrainian Forces fought to take back control of the police headquarters, bombarding the building with heavy fire. We just arrived on the scene. The Police Station is on fire. Theres at least one dead body just behind me, and the situation is extremely tense. Prorussian rebels blocked off the main street with a makeshift barricade and burned tires outside the town hall to stop the Ukrainian Army. Elsewhere, men tried to block the military any way they could. For many in this part of the country, like 26yearold teacher maria, ukraines military offensive has only heightened hostility towards the government in kiev. You know, the events in our country now, they are horrible, because the Ukrainian Army just killed our people. We only want to live and we want to find a way out of the situation. Reporter but finding a way out is growing more and more difficult. Diplomatic efforts are failing. The security situation is deteriorating. And people here, jeff, are bracing themselves for more violence ahead of sundays referendum. Glor Clarissa Ward tonight, thank you. Tonight, help is pouring in to nigeria as the search continues for hundreds of school girls kidnapped weeks ago by boko haram. A u. S. Team was joined today by British Security experts. Nigerians, meanwhile, continue living in fear. Debora patta is there. Reporter Michael Yohanna knows everyone on the street. Here, just outside the capital of abuja, hes helped find new homes for those who fled the violent islamic fighters of boko haram. Hundreds have made it here, and more keep coming. They eke out a meager living by day and sleep where they can under mosquito nets with nothing but the few possessions they managed to bring with them. Because they are christians, yohanna explained, his family was so fearful of boko haram, they hid in trees at night, rather than sleep in their beds. We are started to survey the trees where we are going to climb and sleep because the terror was so much. These are people that are armed coming on to defenseless people. Reporter but it was still not enough. Yohanna told us five of his brothers were killed. One was a local pastor who would not convert to islam. They said, okay, we have told you, you have refused. There is nothing we can do here. They shot him in front of his own child and the wife and the mother. Reporter yohanna fled for his life. When the pain goes to a certain stage, you cannot feel any pain anymore. Reporter now, he counsels other victims of boko harams violence as they try to start a new life. His compassion has provoked the islamic radicals further. Theyve put a 30,000 bounty on his head to have him killed. Glor debora patta is in abuja today. Amnesty International Says now the Nigerian Government actually had warning that the School Attack was going to happen. What you can tell us about that . Reporter well, from its local contacts on the ground, jeff, amnesty International Says its learned that local officials warned the Nigerian Military of boko harams impending attack four hours before the kidnappings took place but did nothing about it. This is likely to fuel local sentiment that the Nigerian Government doesnt care about the north and has given up on it, virtually handing it over to boko haram. Glor debora patta, thank you very much. A line of Severe Weather is moving across the center of the country. This follows powerful storms yesterday.
