Reporter her brother, dayn brunner, a local policeman, has been a part of search all week. Was that painful or relief when they called you . It was a relief in a sense that, okay this is closure, just seeing the car put the exclamation point on the amount of devastation, the amount of force and the amount of physics that were involved with that mountain coming down. Reporter and that amount of force, you think killed your sister instantly . Yeah, yeah. Thats the belief that we have. Reporter and thats a comfort . It is, because that was one of the concerns did she suffer . Is she still alive . It appeared she did not suffer at all.

Strong winds yesterday with some gusting up to 40 Miles Per Hour made this a tough and deadly fire to beat. Im running out of water reporter the fire was spreading so quickly the firefighters had no way out. Investigators say the fire started in the basement of this fourstory brownstone, before strong winds turned the building into an inferno. In 30 years, ive never seen a fire travel that fast escalate that quickly, and create such havoc in such a short period of time.

From boston im sera congi. Charlie, clarissa back to you. Thank you. The secret service is dealing with another embarrassing report this morning about behavior in its ranks. The Washington Post reported two agents suspected of drinking were involved in a car crash during president obamas visit to miami earlier this month. That report follows an incident this week on a president ial trip to the netherlands. The secret service sent three agents home after a night of drinking, hours after they were warned to stay out of trouble. One agent allegedly passed out in a hallway. Members of Congress Said wednesday the episode points to larger problems. Our own investigation shows this is probably more widespread and more systemic than the secret service or the department of Homeland Security Office Inspector general is willing to admit. Senator johnson says he will release his own report on the secret service soon. Now to what is being called a big win for college athletes. A National Labor relations official ruled wednesday that Football Players at Northwestern University are employees of the school and can form a union. The decision could have a Ripple Effect for colleges nationwide. Northwestern quarterback kain colter started the drive to organize his teammates. Its a huge step on our journey to gaining basic protections and basic rights. We finally have somebody in place to negotiate on our behalf and to make sure you know, our experience is the best it can be, and somebody actually looking out for the players and only, you know, for the players. 60 minutes Sports Correspondent Armen Keteyian joins us this morning. Good morning. Reporter good morning. Why do you think the ruling was made . Its astonishing. Its a landmark ruling in a lot of ways. In the big picture, this says a couple of things. One, for the first time really an independent voice has said, look, College Athletics at northwestern meaning at Major College around the country, is a fulltime job, that these athletes are Athletes First, and theyre students second. And it also brings into question the relationship between the coaches and the scholarship, and thats going to have a Ripple Effect as well. But, armon, this is part of a larger movement. This is not an isolated event. Not at all. The ncaa has been under siege in the last year on three different fronts. One, you have this union case now thats just blown up. You have a likeness case involving a former ucla player involving the rights to their own likenesses and compensated for that. And now, you have jeffrey kessler, a major sports lane labor attorney questioning amateurism. Where are we headed . I think short term, charlie, well be headed into the nlrbs National Office in washington where a fivemember panel will take this up in the coming months. Northwestern is certainly going to appeal this case in that respect. Dont be surprised if the ncaa doesnt go to court. This is a staggering potentially staggering effect on and i think the other thing thats interesting here is this is yet another drumbeat about just how big College Athletics is right now. In the case of the final four coming up now with march madness, its like 7. 3 billion in Television Revenue over the next ten years, and you have universities like the university of texas that made 109 million last year 89 million at the university of alabama, michigan with 81 million. This is just another example that, look we are long since past the day of amateurism. Thank you. Youre welcome. Time to show you some of the mornings headlines.

The records come after the shooting last year at Los Angeles International airport. One tsa officer died and three other people were hurt. Jeff pegues is at the Reagan National airport outside of washington on what the changes mean for millions. Good morning. Reporter good morning. This is the memo that was sent across the country. It calls for immediate action on recommendations that include increasing Police Presence at security checkpoints. Expect a more visible Police Presence at Airport Security checkpoints today. The tsa is moving forward with the reports 14 recommendations. Among them calls for increased Police Presence during peak travel times at check points and ticket counters. Some officers with their guns drawn reporter last novembers shooting at International Airport exposed large gaps in security. Not only were tsa screeners at risk but passengers too. Some panic alarms and emergency phones inside the terminal were not working properly and Law Enforcement response was disorganized according to an 80page independent review last week. The tsa relies on local Law Enforcement to Police Security checkpoints, but their review of nearly 450 airports found that one out of every foefr do not have Law Enforcement on sight. The union believe an increase in the numbers wont enhance security enough. Does it address the gaps in security as you see them . This idea that a little more local Law Enforcement at peak teams in the airport is all they really need in the airport falls short. Reporter they want them to have their own Armed Security unit but during a hearing the agencys administrator repeated his opposition to the idea. I looked at that and have determined that that is not the best response. Reporter the 26page report also recommends improved Communication Systems and mandatory active Shooter Training for workers. They need to know what to do. The idea they should be engaging a shooter unless theyre an armed Law Enforcement officer no. The idea is frankly get out of the kill zone. Reporter the idea is also to speed up response times should there be an incident. Theres going to be a congressional hearing on this issue but the tsa believes they do not need congressional approval to move forward on these recommendations. Charlie, clarissa, gayle . Jeff thanks.

I call id the sheldon primary and i think every candidate who has come into las vegas has already asked for oneonone time with sheldon. Ari fleischer serves on the board and has known aidleson for almost a decade. He can be extraordinarily inflaw enchal. Sheldon can keep a candidate alive or take out someone elses candidate. Reporter that certainly was the case in 2012 when he funded money into Newt Gingrichs ad. I look at mitt romneys record. Reporter he kept gingrich around longer than anyone expected. Eric fehrnstrom was a top romney adviser. Sheldon aidleson was a good friend of mitt romney in the latter stages of the campaign but i think he felt a particular devotion to newt gingrich. He felt he had topast his normal expiration date. I accept your nomination for president for the United States. Reporter after he bowed out, aidleson gave money to his group. In total he and his wife gave 92 million of their personal fortune to conservative candidates in the 2012 race but the billionaire businessman who made a fortune with casinos offenbached the wrong horse. Most of his candidates lost. This time hes changing his approach, relying less on who he likes and more on who can win. I want to have the most conservative candidate possible who can win be our nominee. Reporter you can be sure the possible con tenors who descend on las vegas will make sure they convince aidleson they fit that bill. Jan crawford, cbs news washington.

Brain irregularities with children in with the disorder can be traced back to prenatal development. The director of autism for the new york Child Study Center is here and joins us at the table. How are researchers able to reach this conclusion . Theyre actually able to take a snapshot into what happened in the brains of children even before they were born and they did this by looking at actual brain tissue samples. These are postmortem samples and the families were courageous enough to allow these samples. What exactly did they find . They found that the brain cell my grate into layers like layer of a cake. We know when that happens. It happens in the second trimester. So we know that some of the brain cells did go where they were supposed to all the way back then. Does this impact future treatment, how youll go about treating this condition . This helps us understand very important about autism. There are places in the brain where cells are supposed to be and theyre not. Its like the path ways are not able to form in the proper way. Weve been doing research at ny u that shows theres a problem in coneck tifty of the brain. The centers are talking to each other in the way they need to. The research is looking to what . Were looking to understand why is it that this happens. These researches were able to look at causes. This will help us start to develop biomarkers like ways that we know autism is present and then understand more about why does it develop. This is an exciting moment. This is a very exciting moment. Once you find that what will you do . What does it lead to . So the oerl that we can discover autism the brain is more plastic the younger the brain is meaning that we can intervene. And we want to intervene, the frontier of intervention is earlier and earlier and earlier. So we want even in that first year of life to know something so they that we can start to change what we do and help coax and nudge those brain path ways into connection. All right.

Were now about to discuss the major shock twist. The death of will gardner shocked fans. They have been forced to explain why they wrote josh charles character out of the series. Last night we spoke with them and the programs star Juliana Margulies at the ed sullivan theater in new york. So you went to them and said its time for me to do something else. When did you start that process . Somewhere in year four i felt like i kind of felt burnt out. We had a long conversation about it and i felt a little fried and that i was ready for Something Different for me. When did you learn . It was probably in march of last year when his contract was coming up and i got a call from michelle and robert and they said, we need to tell you something, josh is going to be leaving the show and i said why, and they said well his contracts up and he doesnt, you know want to renew. And my head just started spinning and i said wait. Did you see if he could do less episodes, maybe offer him more directing. I just immediately became alicia lawyer trying to figure out how to negotiate this contract. How did we come to the conclusion that the way to do this is standing in a courtroom and your clients going to shoot you . An awful lot of talk in the writers room. It was sad for us, too, the thought of a character we love dying. And character whos crucial to the story line. Absolutely. But it felt like anything else would have been a little bit too easy and would have stayed out there. We all would have wanted alicia to have will had he been only across the country or disbarred. What this also gave us was something more interesting for alicia to allow her to see the next step for alicia which is really what the show is always about. One of the things we played into was the audiences expectation of a completion of a character arc and we want the sense that alicia and will, the arc of the year is they were going to get back together. We break them up so we can put them back together. So much of the show was the love triangle but play what happens when a loved one dies in life or suddenly is, no there are no completed arcs in life. So its playing reality hopefully but within the terminology of tv. When will gardner gets shot ive never seen anything like. It. I dont tweet, but ive never gotten so many messages and i do text. Were there central messages to all these messages . It was most of it was omg. Oh, my god. How did you keep this a secret so long. And then twitter is going insane. Its lighting up is what seven telling me that we were the number one im not going to say it right because i dont tweet. What is it . Trending. There you go. The other was, how could you . No. Its actually been i have to say its i call theres the cracras. Theyre out there every day. The crazy people out there. They always get that. I would say by and large theres been an intense pouring and overwhelmingly sad can you describe it . I get the sense people really love the show and the character, and for me the fantasy of, well, what do people say at my funeral . I feel like in a way ive gotten in a very fictional sense ive got on the live that. I tried to reach out. Unlike jewels i love twitter. Tried to reach out to as many people as i can. I called a woman i follow and she follows me and she said her mom was so devastated. And in the editing room im editing an episode when it aired at 5 15 and i said give me your moms number i want to call her. And shes like are you [ bleep ] me . I was like, no. You know what . I want to do this. Give me her number. Ill call her. Tell her its me. Im not going to prank call. So she d. M. d me her moms number. Said, maureen, this is josh. I wanted to check in on you. I heard you were having trouble sleeping and not doing well. She loved the show. She was a bit devastated but i talked her through it. I imagine this is the best time because youve got this education of alicia and theres a whole bunch of new options, whats happened to you in roipgs s rogs relationships . It opens up a plethora of things for alicia. What seems to be happening because were chuting episode 21 right now is that, of course theres going to be this hole in her life but how she fills it and how she starts to question her choices and why am i doing this, youll see this tremendous loss for her, but the choices she makes from then on are incredibly careful. And thats what its about. Its about as the creators have said this, its about the education of alicia. You do get invested in a show. Im glad they gave us insight into what they were thinking. Nice to see. Bill plante state senator leland yee is at the center of a corrupti good morning, everyone. Its 8 25. Im frank mallicoat. Time for some News Headlines here at channel 5.

A cbs news poll out this morning shows 48 of u. S. Catholics believe their church is in touch with their needs. It is the first time our poll has ever found more people saying the church is in touch than out of touch. Todays vatican meeting is the 28th time that sating american president has met with a poechl bill plachbt at the white house says that relationship took more than a century to establish. Bill, good morning. Reporter good morning. You know Woodrow Wilson was the First American president to visit the pope back in 1919. He met with benedict xvth after the two had already experienced several letters regarding world war i. But it would be 40 years before another president would visit the vatican. When president eisenhower made his trip to rome in 1959 there was still strong catholic sentiment in the u. S. Something prlt kennedy prompted as a cane and announce in his famous speech. Im not the Catholic Kennedy for president. I am the democratic partys president who happens to also be catholic. Reporter when he met the pope in 1963 he shook hands rather than kissing the ring which was then a customary practice for catholics. Ever since theyve made the trip to rome with mixed results. In times of great need god does send someone. Reporter Pope John Paul the ii lent support to Ronald Reagan but he admonished the first president bush in the iraqled war in 1991. We had a major talk a touching on all the troubled spots. And did the same to his son over the second iraq war. For president obama this is a second trip to the vatican. He and mrs. Obama met with Pope Benedict xvi in 2009 during which the president ope pressed the president on abortion and stem cell research. There is more Common Ground for president obama and pope francis. Both made history when elected as the first africanamerican president and the first latin american pope. Both started off on a wave of popularity. But while president obamas approval numbers have dropped, Pope Franciss numbers continue to ascend which is another reason this visit could be a boon for the american president. Generally president s are looking to kaifr the favor of the man who is a spiritual leader to tens of millions of americans. Theyre also meeting someone whos the head of state, who has a lot of diplomatic power in the walls. Reporter we may never know what they talked about in private, but there was a hint yesterday on the authority of the vatican radio. They noted the controversy on health care requiring mandatory coverage of sterilization, abortion and other issues like samesex marriage. Charlie . Bill thanks. March madness continues tofrmt with a tipoff, tonights sweet 16. Theyve seen a dozen upsets including syracuse kansas duke, unc. For nooerm three decades bill raftery has captured the excitement on cbs sports his own way. You can do it. Talk about march onions. Wow. Terrific talent. Shootsyscoochy, coo. It was st. Patricks day. D. P. Putting lon jer aonlingerie with it. He combed his hair with a wash rag this morning. So the question is where does it come from . I think its background who you hang around with. Trying to simplify things. Snoochycoochiecoo . Thats definitely something a man should say to his girlfriend. And the lingerie . That was because growing up you didnt want to ask your mother for that garment, so it made it a little more god forbid you say the word panties. I like the like a belgian waffle, sweet. You have a way of taking everyday terms and putting them to basketball that everybody likes to hear. Ive about got great audience. You know its great vehicle for us, too, watching these kids. I know a lot of kids are upset about duke including some at the table. Some are very happy about duke. Hes one of the great people great coaches. We had jim boeheim on and he was talking about how close everything has become in college basketball, that there arent anything like an upset anymore. Preparation, weve got kids lasting longer or staying in certain schools for a long time which are key. Transfers of fifth year kids. Some are 19, 20 not quite ready. Tell us your best moment in everything you watched. You know, i think the in my career, the sixth overtime game with connecticut and syracuse a few years ago in the big east. That was special. And george mason they were down in washington and won the right to go to regionals and that was sort of the frontrunner of the butlers of the world. Great game. You coached seton hall for many years. You know what its like what the players are feeling, what the coaches are feeling. What is it about march madness, though, that its a different kind of animal when you get into this tournament . I think its a renaissance. You start over. Its a rebirth. Refreshing. You fight all year to get to that position, to be off the bubble and be this the tournament. And now everybodys watching and i think every kid who starts dribbling in the backyard or school yard. Some day he wants to be in a position where he takes that shot or makes that freethrow. Theres always a Cinderella Team who you didnt expect to be there and you say, why not. Yeah. Even if theyre names to know, baylor comes to mind. They struggle and all of a sudden theyre feeling pretty good. Connecticut was one of those that had gotten a run late. A lot of people who love march madness dont necessarily watch the nba. What is it that makes it special . There seems to be like a unique passion that they bring to the game. My thing is they have a connection. They have family or friends that went to that school or played in it. It raises the level of interest. The passion is incredible. Our camera guys and directors just capture you know the sadness, like this is the end. You know we were up in syracuse, they lost a youbd see the sullen look like their life is over and a couple of days later, theyve got a chance to play the next year theyre rejuvenated. Somehow, even though weve been talking about College Sports and all the problems it has, it seems that its more pure and gentle win emotion is more genuine. Well there are problems as we all know and yet come tournament time, theyre forgot forgotten. You know everything is there for people to enjoy. Its crystalized. The moment is so special. It makes older people which i cant relate to certainly. Youre young again. Youre at least young at heart. I was so glad to meet you. On twitter they said bill raftery is the o. G. Which is original gangster. Im happy to hear that. Thoses a compliment to you. Thanks. Cbs coverage of the sweet 16 begins tonight at 7 00 p. M. Eastern, 4 00 p. M. Pacific.

Good morning, gail. When soul trains creator Don Cornelius dies a few years ago, he left more than a legend. He broke barriers and help as country still sore from the struggle for civil rights. It may look retro now, but in its heyday soul train was revolutionary. To have a hoff hour where the host is black, dancers are black, commercials are black, theres never been 30 minutes of that much soul on american tv either. Reporter he documents the show in a new book the hippest trip in america. What was the culture for black audiences . To see black people on tv was a rare occurrence. You either saw them in the news or marching and protesting. In this show its no theres fun, theres joy, and you can be part of this fun experience. You can bet your last money what did Don Corneliuss personality bring to the show . He brought a command and a cool. Guys are not cool anymore like Don Cornelius. They just arent. Some of them were kind of cautious about soul train. There was a lot of skepticism with his last entirr prize. There was never anything that was black owned. Reporter before long soul train was where the eris tock rahcy of it came to play. It has nothing to do with music. Its Don Cornelius playing basketball against marvin gaye. Refereed by smokey robinson. Reporter the first black owned program on National Television also created opportunities for black owned businesses. Announcer todays beautiful queen uses aafro sheen.

I left philadelphia september 22nd 1972 at 10 22 pacific time on a tuesday. Just because you wanted to be on soul train. I wanted to go and be where those dancers were. Reporter regular dancers like proctor and demeta jo freeman showed they could hold their own along some of the biggest stars. This is the first time that black kids off the streets who have dreams never ever thought that they would be a part of show business. Freemans moves eventually caught the attention of dick clark who recruited her for his american bandstand and ultimately offered her a job. He knew where the energy was going at this moment in pop culture and he was trying to take it. Reporter in 1973 clark create add rival show soul unlimited but a proposed boycott from black Business Leaders forced abc to cancel it before it could complete a full season season. In the context of 1972 73 black boycott in a very politicized era was a real threat. Reporter soul train remaining the longest running syndicated program in television history. How about it one more time. Reporter cornelius leading it through an everchanging landscape of style and song. Reporter he didnt get rap, did he . He didnt like it. He didnt really it was a soul guy. It doesnt make sense to me as an old guy. I dont know why they love it so much. Reporter one of the reasons you see soul train begin to loose some of its power is that era. Reporter the show lasted for more than a decade after Don Cornelius retired as host in 1993, but for nelson george, soul train will always belong to that 1970s era it helped define. I think about the thing about soul train you think about the 70s, you think about the travolta suit, nixon. It certainly touched on that era, and soul train was one of them. We wish you love and peace and soul. I remember. Nobody could dress like Don Cornelius.
