Good morning to you, charlie. We begin with a missing flight. The search for Malaysia Flight 370 is getting more bewildering by the hour. Officials are increasing the size of the search. There are conflicting reports about whether the plane may have made a certain left turn in midflight. That confusion about the possible change in the flight path is bringing new attention to the pilots of the boeing 777. Clarissa ward has been out on the water in the search area. Shes in kuala lumpur where a search is turning up very few answers. Good morning. Reporter good morning, norah and charlie. Malaysian authorities have said they are expanding this search to two different sites covering more than 27,000 nautical square miles, with 39 aircraft and 42 ships involved. Nearly five days after flight 370 vanished without warning, its still unclear which way the plane was heading when it lost contact. Malaysias air force chief added to the confusion today, first denying that he said military radar showed the plane veering hundreds of miles offcourse, then later acknowledging it was possible the jetliner had been spotted on radar in the malacca strait, but he said the information needed to be verified. There is a possibility that this aircraft turned back but we are not sure whether it is the same aircraft. Reporter this is one of the biggest shipping channels in the world, and its also about 350 miles away from where the plane apparently lost contact. But teams are now combing across this entire strait as the search area gets bigger and bigger. Dozens of planes and ships from 12 countries have scoured over tens of thousands of miles, looking for any sign of the jetliner. Each time it passes its clear the search and rescue becomes just a search. But we will never give up hope. And this and this we owe to the families. Reporter twothirds of the passengers on board were from china. China says its people and its government are, quote, worried and anxious, and chinese officials have repeated a call for malaysian authorities to step up efforts regarding the search. And, charlie and norah, you can tell its just starting to get dark here and with every passing day, the malaysian officials are coming under a lot of pressure and facing a lot of frustration from people who want answers. All right, Clarissa Ward thank you. Investigators in malaysia dont believe terrorists brought down flight 370, but cia director john brennan says he cannot rule out that possibility. We are looking at it very carefully. We at cia are working with fbi and tsa and others our malaysian counterparts are doing everything they can to try to put together the pieces here. But clearly, this is still a mystery, which is very disturbing. Bob orr is in washington where officials are trying to make sense of the Little Information they ave. Bob, good morning. Reporter good morning, norah and charlie. Veteran crash investigators simply are confounded by those malaysian military radar indications that the jet may have flown hundreds of miles offcourse without maintaining any radio or data contact with controllers. Now, for that to be possible, either the plane suffered some kind of failure that disabled its transponder, which reports location, speed, and altitude or somebody in the cockpit deliberately turned it off. Thats why investigators now cannot rule out hijacking or even a criminal act by the flight crew. Investigators are now forced to consider the possibility even if its a slim one, of a pilot suicide, a deliberate crash, like that in 1999 which took down egyptair off of nantucket. It was later revealed in that crash the copilot of the flight gameel elbatouty did 2 as an act of revenge. Authorities in malaysia are going through the professional records and personal lives of the pilots on flight 370, 53yearold zaharie sha and fariq hamid, for any warning signs. The airline said this morning strongly there is no reason to suspect the flight crew in this missing aircraft. Law enforcement and intelligence sources say theres no hard evidence to this date pointing to any kind of terrorism, and as we reported one possible lead evaporated when the two passengers flying on stolen passports were identified tuesday as simply iranian men seeking asylum in europe. Now, the u. S. Has offered a wide range of assistance including investigators from the fbi, the faa, and the ntsb but so far, the malaysians have not asked for u. S. Help and theyve shared very little about this investigation. Charlie, norah . Bob thanks. Were following a major emergency in new york city.

Congress usually deals with National Security issues quietly, but a longstanding dispute between the senate and cia is now seeing the light of day. The powerful chair of the Intelligence Committee led the action. Jan crawford has the story. Reporter good morning norah and charlie and our viewers in the west. Diane dianene feinstein normally a staunch supporter of the spy agencies, but yesterday she and others were outraged and feinstein spoke out. I have grave concerns that the cia search may well have violated the separation of powers principles embodied in the United States constitution. Reporter the california democrat accused the cia of Hacking Senate computers to get a document it didnt think the Intelligence Committee should have. The cia did not ask the committee or its staff if the committee had access to the internal review, or how we obtained it. Instead, the cia just went and searched the committees computers. Reporter the document is called the panetta review a series of internal cia memos said to be critical of the agencys enhanced interrogation programs after 9 11. The senate Intelligence Committee has been investigating those programs for years, using a secret site in virginia to comb through classified cia documents. The cia claims Senate Staffers somehow got ahold of the secret panetta review, which they shouldnt have been able to do. Current cia director john brennan says the agency has been cooperating fully with the inquiry and denied any wrongdoing. As far as the allegations of you know, cia hacking into you know, senate computers, nothing could be further from the truth. We wouldnt do that. Reporter members of senate and house Intelligence Committees are usually advocates for the nations spy community. Former Deputy Director of the cia, mike morrell says its a dangerous fallingout. The cia as a secret Intelligence Organization in a democracy really needs the two Intelligence Committees to ensure the American People that the cia is acting within the law. Reporter morell recommends appointing a neutral third party to investigate so that the committee and the cia can focus on more pressing National Security concerns. The work that the men and women of the Intelligence Community are doing every day is so very important to the National Security of the country. Reporter morell is now working for cbs news when hes speaking to us for this story. Now, feinsteins criticism are also raising questions about the constitutionality of the cias alleged spying on the senate having an agency potentially spying on the Senate Raising power concerns. Republicans gave us mixed responses. One, for example declined to talk about the specifics of this, or criticize it. But he did say these kind of intelligence issues should not be aired publicly. Jan, thanks. The white house is rolling out a new project to help average workers make more money. President obama went shopping yesterday in new york city gap store. He praised the company for raising its hourly wages. Now, the president said to change the rule for paying overtime. Major garrett is at the white house with the plan that will affect millions of households. Major, good morning. Reporter good morning, charlie and norah. Good morning to our viewers in the west. This change will not occur immediately, but president obama on thursday will set it in motion, ordering the Labor Department to require businesses to pay more in overtime to a certain kind of worker. Executive or managerial workers is what theyre called. In some cases, the managers or executives are no more than shift supervisors at a fastfood restaurant, or maybe work the overnight shift. They log long hours but dont make traditional whitecollar salaries. The Labor Department sets the wage salary threshold for the managerial workers. Currently, overtime does not have to be paid to anyone making 455 per week or about 24,000 a year. The president intends to order the Labor Department to raise that threshold. Thats a regulatory process that could take months to finalize. The white house will not say how much the president wants to raise the overtime threshold. California recently set its at 640 a week. New york at 600 a week. Some former white house economists have lobbied the president to raise the federal threshold to 1,000 a week.

Dean reynolds is in chicago where its been snowing much of the morning. Dean, good morning. Reporter good morning, charlie and norah. Well, we woke up here in chicago to exactly what we didnt want to see more snow. This latest storm started around midnight and its still going strong, and its adding time and frustration to the usual snarled morning commute. Were also hearing of twohour delays now at ohare airport. The expected 3 to 6 inches of new snow is on top of the 76 inches chicago has already received this winter, among the snowiest in its history. Its a stark contrast from just 24 hours ago when we were getting a hint of springtime temperatures. The brief melt though revealed winters consequences and their devastating effects with potholes as big as small ponds in city streets. Local officials have already spent nearly 3 million repairing 240,000 potholes around town and todays storm will just make matters worse. Now, temperatures have dropped about 20 degrees since yesterday, and are expected to head down as low as the Single Digits this evening.

The murder trial of the blade runner Oscar Pistorius centered around a crucial piece of evidence this morning, the bulletriddled door of the bathroom where pistorius shot his girlfriend was examined in court. Deborah patta is in south africa. Deborah deborah, good morning. Reporter good morning, charlie and norah, up on the stand, a man who has 30 years in friend forensics, and he provided the evidence of the locked door. His evidence argues that pistorius did not put his prosthetics legs back on to break down the door after the shooting. If this is proven correct, it means pistorius was lying in his Opening Statement. This is the actual door that pistorius shot his girlfriend through the early hours of valentines last year. Behind it a builttoscale model of the toilet cubicle. For the first time we get the prosecutions timeline of events. They argue pistorius deliberately shot Reeva Steenkamp four times through the door shattering her hip, arm, and skull, and crucially that pistorius was on his stumps at the time. He then used a cricket bat to bash down the door. He says tests show marks on the door are consistent with the actual bat that pistorius used and that he would have been on his stumps at the time. Between 1. 24 and 1. 25. Reporter this differs substantially from pistorius Opening Statement to the court in which he said he mistook his girlfriend for an intruder and shot her through the locked toilet door whilst on his stumps. When he realized his mistake, he said he put on his prosthetic legs to kick down the door and then grabbed a cricket bat to bash it down. The defense then grilled the expert and wanted to know why slivers of wood from the door were left on the crime scene and never investigated. Charlie and norah . Thanks, deborah.
