Welcome to cbs this morning. We begin with a dramatic rescue going on right now to get the crew of a stranded fishing boat to safety in new york. A coast guard helicopter is trying to pull crew members off the boat and an early attempt to rescue the sailors failed when a Coast Guard Boat capsized. All of the coast guard crewmembers swam to safety. These are live pictures right now. This rescue effort comes after violent storms swept along the east coast. Winds flipped over a semitruck on new yorks George Washington bridge. The storm brought down a home in the bronx but no one hurt. Power lines sparked one car fire. The powerful band of storms is responsible for at least eight deaths in the south and several tornadoes ripped through virginia killing four. Chip reid is in waverly, south of richmond, where a state of emergency is in place. Reporter good morning. I am standing in the middle of home park here in waverly, virginia. As you can see, this was the laundromat and it was meat of brick and cinder block but it has been completely destroyed. Walk down here. Take a look at this. That trailer there behind the bushes that is largely destroyed, we talk to a man who lived there. He can hardly believe he is alive and that is partly because on the other side of that trailer is where another trailer used to be and that is where three people, including a 2yearold child, died. A deadly storm system lashed the east coast wednesday, pummeling it with violent winds. And torrential rain. Multiple tornadoes were reported in virginia where at least four people have died and dozens more have been injured. A tornado just came through right on 460 right now. Tore place to pieces. Reporter three died here in waverly. Who were found 300 yards from their own home. Vincent donald lived next door. Spinning and lift the roof. I survived.

We heard debris and this is just, like, not even real. Reporter a steady downpour led to flash flooding in and around washington, d. C. Where drivers slogged through the evening commute. Tree just fell down. Reporter at least three tornadoes were reported in north carolina. Straight line winds and pounding rains toppled trees and cut one home nearly in half. Time lapse video shows the storm as it rolled through downtown charlotte. That is one wild storm. Reporter the system made its way to the northeast where strong gusts flipped over this truck in new york. And in new jersey, Manhole Covers were spent flying into the air. Underground electric explosions in elizabeth. First responders spent the night going through this area, going through this incredible debris field, trying to make sure there is nobody unaccounted for. There is still, apparently, some question whether this was officially a tornado. Just look. Its hard to believe it could have been anything other than that. Ill say. The pictures really tell the store there. Firefighters in indiana rescued more than two dozen drivers trapped for hours on a snowy eye. An accident during the snowstorm made the word impassible. Two fire trucks got stuck in six feet of snow and firefighters faced strong winds and blinding snow and walked cartocar to bring 30 people to safety. Donald trump is facing questions about his taxes this morning from the last republican president ial nominee, mitt romney. He claims the republican frontrunner has not released his tax returns because they may contain a bombshell. Taxes made romney, quote, look like a fool in 2012. He sarcastically called romney a tough guy. Major garrett in washington looked at the issue that may affect tonights Republican Debate in houston. Major, good morning. Reporter good morning. On the Republican Debate stage tonight in houston, mitt romney no, no, not in person, of course. But through this issue of tax returns that he lobbed at donald trump yesterday. Trump has dismissed romney through this campaign as a weak nominee who should have won in 2012. Trumps republican rivals at another texas forum last night, they sided with romney. They are not exotic but we will release them. Returns. Nothing to hide. Not a problem. The nice thing i havent made enough money that my tax returns are not that interesting. Reporter donald trump closest rivals had no problem respond from a challenge to 2012 to say about trumps tax returns. Frankly, i think we have good reason to believe that there is a bombshell in Donald Trumps taxes. Every time he is asked about his taxes, he dodges and delays and says, well, we are working on it. Reporter the tax issue tripped up romneys white house bid but trump said he feels no pressure to release his returns at all. My returns are extremely complex and ill make a determination at the right time. Im in no rush to do it. Nobody has been bringing it up except for mitt romney. Reporter a carter gop field advantages trump as the rest of the candidates are scrambling to dull that edge but no one appears to be willing to give up their smaller share of support. Once this race begins to narrow youll see more of that support consolidateing. Reporter three candidates yet to win arent dropping out. Marco rubio finished second in South Carolina and nevada. We are not going to allow the conservative movement to be defined by a nominee who isnt a conservative. Reporter john kasich has backtoback fifth place finishes. We are not stopping and im not giving up finished higher than fourth. Its like a baseball game. Everybody wants to call the game after the first inning. Reporter a loss on cruzs home turf could cripple his campaign. Of the delegates up for grabs on tuesday, texas has the most with 155. He called it himself the big prize. Hillary clinton is focusing on South Carolina this morning but Bernie Sanders is hundreds of miles away campaigning in ohio, michigan, and illinois. Clinton is making four stops in the state where democrats vote on saturday. Nancy cordes is in columbia, South Carolina, where clinton is also thinking about the gop frontrunner. Nancy, good morning. Reporter good morning. Thats right. Republicans are not the only ones who are starting to come to grips with the notion that trump could be the gop nominee. Yesterday, the Clinton Campaign sent out this fundraising a message meant to scare their supporters into opening their wallets. When with you talk about the trumps of the world to divide us up. Reporter trump that united the democratic candidates, at least temporarily. I listen to the rhetoric on the republican side. I dont recognize my country. You know . Senator sanders and i have been trying to run a Campaign Based on issues. They run a Campaign Based on insults. Reporter clinton is camped out in South Carolina, protecting her large lead in the polls here. Hi. Reporter sanders headed west in search of Greener Pastures and he found them. Here in missouri reporter 7,000 people came to here him speak in kansas city. Almost 10,000 in tulsa. I look out add this crowd, i dont think there is any way we are going to lose on tuesday reporter the only other candidate drawing crowds this large is trump. But, so far, the enthusiasm has not translated into turnout, contests held so far. And that is a problem for sanders, who says this all the time. Voter turnout is everything. Our job is to create a high voter turnout. If there is a large turnout, i think we will do very well. Reporter translation . Sanders needs his young supporters to hit the polls in record numbers and offset clintons advantage with older and more reliable advantage. In nevada she won by a full 50 points and won the caucus. You say you want to create the revolution that clinton couldnt. Is turnout a sign that that revolution isnt happening . Its a sign that barack obama ran a Brilliant Campaign in 2008. Unprecedented. Reporter and even with that unprecedented campaign, though, obama just barely edged out hillary clinton. This time, sanders says he is going to win several super with clinton in the delegate count. Thank you, nancy. See you on tuesday. President obama may reach across the aisle to get the senate to vote on his next Supreme Court nominee. Reports say the white house is considering nevadas republican governor to replace justice Antonin Scalia. Jan crawford is on capitol hill and watching the Supreme Court debate. Reporter good morning. Senator republicans say they will block anyone the president nominates even if its someone from their own party. Yesterday, the president predicted they will cave. I recognize the politics are hard for them. Reporter from the oval office, president obama suggested that eventually republicans will back down and give his Supreme Court nominee a shot. There is not a lot of vigor when they defend the position that they are taking that they wouldnt even meet, for example, with a Supreme Court nominee. They are pretty sheepish about it when they make those comments. Reporter across town, the senates top democrat, harry nevada governor brian sandoval. If he were picked, i would support the man. Hes a good person. He has a great record. And he has been a tremendously good governor. Reporter sandoval may be seen as a moderate conservative but he is no fan of the president s signature achievement the Affordable Care act. He has called many aspects of the law unconstitutional and threatened to fight to have them overturned. In a statement, sandovals office said neither the governor nor his staff has been contacted by or talked to the Obama Administration regarding any potential vetting and that did not surprise utah senator mike lee. I dont think that is a legitimate rumor. I dont think it reflects any truth. I dont think that is who president obama is going to nominate. But even if it is, our position remains unchanged. Reporter lee says regardless of the nominee, most Senate Republicans are holding firm until the country elects a new president. We are a coordinate branch. Government. This is our discussion, not his. Reporter the president says the sandoval buzz is read and they are playing games. A republican to the Supreme Court would make a conservative majority on that court for a generation. Charlie . Thanks, jan. Apple ceo tim cook defended the company in his first interview about the standoff over the San Bernardino gunmans iphone. He calls the governments request to unlock it bad for america. Jeff pegues is in washington to show us apples case. Good morning. Reporter good morning. Apple executives and the tech giants attorneys say this is a slippery slope. Tomorrow the company will put its arguments in writing when its expected to file its legal challenge to the government. Some things are hard and some things are right. And some things are both. This is one of those things. Reporter speaking publicly about the controversy, apples reasons for refusing a court order to unlock the iphone of syed farook, one of the terrorists behind the deadly attack in San Bernardino, three months ago. To oppose your government on something doesnt feel good. And to oppose it on something where we are advocating for civil liberties, which they are supposed to protect, it is incredibly ironic. Reporter cook says the decision would compel the company to write new software and create ago key that he says, in the wrong hands, could make all iphones vulnerable to hackers. Our smartphones are loaded with our intimate conversations, our financial data, our health records. They are also loaded with the location of our kids in many cases. Reporter cook says apple has cooperated with Law Enforcement, but contends investigators made a crucial error by telling farooks employer, San Bernardino county, to reset his icloud password. Information that could be retrieved but even with the password change, the fbi says there may still be information on the phone that would not be accessible without apples assistance. If a court can ask us to write this piece of software think of what else they ask us to write. Maybe an operating system for surveillance, maybe its the ability for the Law Enforcement to turn on the camera. This is not what should be happening in america. I think this is going to be a question for the American People and their congress to decide if we want to make these Communications Devices immune to warrants when we know that they are used in crimes all the time. Reporter cook and bill gates agree that this issue will ultimately have to be decided by congress. Eventually, as it has been with the patriotic act, this will all be subject to democratic discussion. Reporter today, fbi director james comey will be on capitolol hill where he is expected to against apple. Norah . Jeff, thank you. The debate continues. Isis this morning is titans. A new video purportedly made by supporters of target, Mark Zuckerberg and zach dorsey. The propaganda video is in response to facebook and twitter suspending accounts and removing posts that promote terrorism. President obama is tamping down expectations about the partial truce in syria that takes effect at midnight on friday. Syrian Government Troops are fighting in a suburb outside of damascus. The assad regime says the area is excluded from the ceasefire because Al Qaedalinkeded group is there. Our Elizabeth Palmer got a firsthand look on the lines above and on the ground. Reporter how confident is the syrian army right now . Well, enough to have a group of local journalists tour their latest victory. A half of a square mile of total the center of dah mass mus. Mascusdamascus. This general leads the way through what used to be family homes that is a wreck now. A sniper was right here only yesterday, he says. We are in the suburb of daria.

Overhead, the sound of the helicopters scouting its target. Then a strike. They are using barrel bombs, cheap and deadly. Are there any civilians left over there . No, he says. There arent. In fact, by now, almost everyone has fled. Bombs smashed this area to bits. The opposition fighters only survived by going underground this is the road. The soldiers showing us around, this one explains this tunnel was under the main road. You can see the black strike that gave extra protection. The army says the fighters here were with Al Qaedalinked al nusra not in this weekends ceasefire so no let up on this world of the suburbs of damascus. Great reporting there.

Aircraft maker airbus has filed a patent for a new kind of adjustable seat and it could allow airlines to cram even more people into each row or change the seating to make room for larger passengers. And the change could come with new fees. Kris van cleave is at the national air and space museum in washington. Reporter good morning. Back when the dc7 was flying Airline Seats were spacious. Take a look over here. About 20 inches which is not too bad. By the jet age, they had shrunk down to 17 1 2 inches and in the years since, they have gotten even smaller and shrinking down yet another inch in space. Could usher in a day where the airlines could truly price by your size. As americans have gotten larger and their Airline Seats smaller, its not made flying any easier. Oh, they are too close, yes. Especially if they are heavy people or big people. Reporter some overweight passengers even find themselves being shamed on social media. Now jetmaker airbus is looking to patent this seating concept that could let airlines create what would essentially be a fee for larger passengers, just dont expect them to call it that. This bench seating concept would allow a traditional row of three seats to be rapidly and easily reconfigurable into seating for two passengers who need additional space, including overweight passengers, or instead of seating three, the bench could handle a family of four with two small children. A feature that could almost certainly come with a price tag. All about making more money. Reporter Charisse Jones airlines are going to be very careful about not saying that the seat is for a specific class of people. You know, such as overweight people or even families. They dont want to be accused of being discriminatory but i dont think there is anything wrong saying these are options for different groups of people you might find more comfortable. Reporter typically that means more money for the airlines. Last year, airbus sought a patent for a design that would have passengers sitting above and below each other. Before that, it was this semi standing seat. Seat maker zodiac create a hex hextagon feature. Tennessee congressman steven cohen worries the focus of squeezing in other extra seats could make it harder for evacuating. To set minimum seat line standards. If people cant get out of an plane in an emergency condition, they lose their lives. It shouldnt be after an accident. After an accident, its too late and people are dead. Reporter airbus says every year, it takes out hundreds of patents and the vast majority of those never become fully realized products or knowledge. Its going to change the way we fly. I hope its one of those patents that never goes anywhere, the ones he just mentioned. I think its tough. It is tough. Make bigger seats. How about that . They are getting closer. Yes. Its uncomfortable. If it were the three of us, we wouldnt mind closer seats, right . What happens when students can have guns okay. This is a really serious story we have coming up.

Dont tough it out, knock it out, fast. An extraordinary legal battle in britain is getting worldwide attention. A woman wants to carry the eggs of her daughter who died of cancer and she hopes to give birth to a grandchild. The court is allowing her to ban the appeal. Quote, expressed a strong wish to her mother that one or more of her eggs after being fertilized should be plant in her mother who would give birth to the baby. In a statement to cbs this morning, the 60yearold mom says we know the chances of conceiving a grandchild are very small, but in the unlikely event we are successful, it would mean the birth of a child who would be loved and cherished by us and the rest of our family. Cbs news legal expert Rikki Klieman is here to talk about this. First of its kind. First of its kind. She was their only daughter so they are saying this is the only way they could have a which would. Yes. But it really should not be about their desire to have a grandchild. It should only be about their now decease daughters wishes. What did she say about that . It depends on who you believe. Because she could have said in we call a special direction in britain, there is a form where after your death, that part she signed, you can also sign a special direction, which then would have said i want my mother to be able to carry my eggs and have my child because my parents were such great parents. She never signed that. Now, originally, what happens is youre in a clinic. The clinic hat eggss the eggs and the clinic is put in a situation we cant export these eggs to the u. S. Without a real directive. The reason they have to export them, there is no clinic in the uk who is going to do this in vitro fertilization, but the punitive grandmother said she did find a clinic in new york that will take these eggs. Is the grandmother going to carry it . Carry the eggs herself. Now, she says that is her daughters dying wish. They have said we are going to let you appeal which is a reversal of another judges decision saying, no, you cant. And the reason they say that is the mother says, which is really the punitive grandmother, if we can get this right. I understand the legal argument but her daughter died. You know . It feels creepy and touching at the same time. Is that possible . Exactly right. I think both of those words are really well taken. In britain they have said this is unseenly and we should not have a 60yearold mother giving birth from her own body of her own daughters eggs. Then you get back to the issue why its touching or disturbing is whose life is it any way . If the daughter really had this desire that her own mother would be the best parents for her own child, then there is something to be said for her decision about what to do with this. Well, she knows her upbringing. Suppose they rule in the couples favor and it goes forward. What are the precedents that it sets . I think its an interesting precedent in britain, because we have never had a grandmother carry a daughters eggs. Whether or not it would be a precedent in the u. S. Remains undecided because here we look, contract informed consent and written agreement always controls. Thank you. Really interesting. Rikki klieman, thank you.

She told sports illustrated, quote, if i had to make the choice today, i wouldnt go. The twotime olympic medalist is here at the table. Hope solo, good morning. Good morning. And thank you all for having me. We are glad youre here. How do you feel today . Well, you know, i feel very fortunate that i dont have to make the decision today. I hope that a lot of things can happen in five months. Im a little bit skeptical, to be honest. News came out today that things probably could get worse before they get better. So its scary. And i have a lot of reservations going to the olympics. But, like i said, i dont have to make the decision right now. There is a lot of unknowns and i hope that we get some clear, concrete answers very soon. What specifically concerns you about the zika virus . I just think there is a lot in life to worry about as it stands, that, you know, at some point, i do want to start a family. And i dont want to be worried. I dont want the anxieties. I dont want the constant tests. I dont want to risk the safety of a child, the health of a child. Its just a scary time, and there is really no clear answers to it. So until i know more, i dont really informative decision. If things are like they are, you probably wouldnt go sfl. As things stand like they are right now, i probably would not go. To your teammates feel the same . I think everybody is just trying to get a lot of information right now, so i dont think anybody is making any irrational decisions. But you have to understand that my team is filled with different age ranges and different personalities and some people dont want to have families, some people do. I think for the most part, we are all based on winning the olympics. Its never been done before after winning a world cup. First and foremost, we want to be backtoback champions. Its never been done before i want to be a part of that i always wanted to ask you this. Youve been called the best goalkeeper in the history of the Womens National team. In the green room, they were saying in the world. In the world do you agree with that . In the world own it, hope, own it i feel fortunate. What makes a great goalkeeper . Oh, gosh. I still ask myself that day in and day out. Goal keeping is a very difficult decision. Youre kind of a hero or the goat. Five setups in olympic qualifications but qualifications to me are not that busy. We are playing some poorer countries and some country who dont really build the womens game, who feel honored to be on the field with us because they know that in their country, women dont really play sports. So we are beating these teams who they dont really have a lot of resources in their countries. So i honestly didnt get much action so i got these five shutouts but i didnt feel like i earned all of them. They are also saying people in your position in their 30s peak. Youre going to be 35. Do you even feel like youre even close to peaking . Well, where i was going with that is goal keeping is something that you can never there are so many details and intricacies and mental game more than anything else. I stay focused. That is the exciting part about it. It is. And why i never want to walk away because there is always something new to learn and always a challenge. Anybody who knows me, know i love challenges. As a little girl, did you think you would be doing this . Maybe not world champ but did you think you would be doing this . Yeah. I was 12 years old and i read a paper that said when i want to grow up, i want to be a professional soccer player. They didnt have that there. How could you dream something that was not there . It was in the 90s, not the 80s. I wrote it and there was no womens professional soccer. I had this gigantic dream that wasnt in the realm of possibilities at the time and, by god, it happens. You know, we have a long way to go to push for womens sports and womens equalities but i dreamt something at the age of 12 that didnt even exist and i was able to go on and become a professional soccer player. I want to ask you about that world cup win, it was reported your team would earn just 2 million, the team. While the winning german mens team won two times more than that in 2014. What do you think it will get to get equal pay in sports . Its going to be a long road. Im very proud of we had a great summer, you know . We crushed the ratings. We had an incredible following worldwide. But it wasnt enough to make people say things need to change. For fifa to change. It opened peoples eyes up, but we, as a team, have to step every step along the way. Whether its cba negotiations and standing as a team and thats really hard to do as women because we tend to get bullied and crack under the pressure. So im proud of my team. Im proud of all of us coming together and saying you know what . This is a time we need to push for equality and push for what is right and people are paying do . I dont know. You know . I want to start a family. We will start there. But in terms of work, i dont know. I put my life and passion into goal keeping and this team. Ive been on this team for 16 years. We would like to see you one more time out there. Its scary. Life after soccer is scary and i think any athlete who tells you anything else, i dont think they are speaking the truth. Fears. Great to have you. We will be watching. We will be watching and hope you guys make it to the olympics. Thank you. Zika does not scare away our womens team. We want you there. Hope solo, thank you very much. Silicon valley is facing new competition halfway cross the the new he will come. If you build it, they will come. That is the most famous scene from field of dreams.
