This is the cbs evening news with scott pelley. Pelley good evening. This is our western addition. Nearly a week after Malaysia Airlines flight 17 left amsterdam, some of the 298 people on board were flown back today in wooden caskets, borne by military planes. It was a national day of mourning in the netherlands. Twothirds of the passengers killed when the plane was shot down over ukraine were dutch. We have reports tonight from both countries. First, Elizabeth Palmer in amsterdam. Reporter six days of confusion and indignity ended at last when two military transports, one dutch and one australian, brought the first 40 victims of the crash back to the netherlands. One by one, the simple coffins were carried off the plane by Dutch Military personnel and loaded into waiting hearses. A procedure that went on for 90 minutes under the broiling sun. Flanking the airfield, the National Flags of the dead flew at halfstaff. Dutch dignitaries looked on, and n, did 1,000 family members, out of s

Carolina. Carol lee is a reporter for the wall street journal. A new poll out of iowa shows ted cruz dropping, donald trump inching up. Cruz still in the lead but just by three points. Cruz lost six points. Since december trump gained one. Give us a sense of how it is effecting both campaigns. Reporter i think what you can take away from this new poll is this idea that over the last month ted cruz as he has risen to more prominence as a front runner in iowa come under more scrutiny. You have seen him be an increased target on attacks from marco rubio on immigration and national security, donald trump on the issue of the birther, his canadian birth place as you talked about. I would say another part of the poll shows 15 of Iowa Republicans say it does bother them that cruz was born in canada to an american mother. While 83 of that segment polled said it doesnt bother them, 15 is nothing to sniff at. It is not clear what his family was doing up there. His father was not an american citiz
