>> he lost your carpet, reit? >> he loves our carpet a lot. [ laughter ] >> have a good one. captions by: caption colorado comments@captioncolorado.com good morning to our viewers in the west. it is tuesday, may 20th, 2014. welcome to "cbs this morning." cbs news talked with boko haram, what the terror group tells debora patta about the fate of more than 200 kidnapped school girls. another airline disaster narrowly averted, this time at one of america's busiest airports. plus, the new mission for drones, saving wildlife from poachers. but we begin this morning with a look at today's "eye opener," your world in 90 seconds. >> today's primary the will shape the ballots for critical contests come november. primary voters head to the polls in six states. >> we're all watching kentucky. >> a big win for senate minority leader mitch mcconnell would
7:01 am
deliver a blow to the tea party. >> the army in thailand has declared martial law after months of unrest but insist it isn't a military coup. >> actor michael jace has been arrested in the fatal shooting of his wife. >> jace is best known for his role as an lapd officer on the program "shields." >> the oscar pistorius trial on hold as he will spend 30 days undergoing a mental evaluation. an e. coli outbreak forces a massive recall of ground beef products. so far 11 people have gotten sick. >> evacuate. >> at the phoenix area airport the crew smelled smoke taxiing before takeoff. >> i actually almost jumped out of the plane. >> the russian billionaire may be shelling out the biggest divorce settlement in history, $4.5 billion. an alleged drunk driver in texas forces a police officer to jump off a bridge. he survived. he's expected to recover. >> all that. >> watch the young man go for
7:02 am
the ball. right in the kisser. tried to be tough about it. you have to make that play. >> excitement among little leaguers reached fevered pitch when a special visitor stopped by to cheer them on. >> and all that matters. >> i accept this award on behalf of my colleagues at cbs, my colleagues at pbs and all the people who believe in telling stories that somehow engage us in the pursuit of truth. >> on "cbs this morning." >> they made a hologram of michael jackson to do a song called "slave to the rhythm." it looked so real, tito asked it for money. >> this morning's "eye opener" is presented by toyota. let's go places. welcome to "cbs this morning." good morning. >> good morning, charlie. >> we begin this morning with a rare closeup look at the
7:03 am
nigerian terror group, boko haram. this is the islamist organization holding more than 200 school girls hostage. >> a member tells cbs news that boko haram is planning another kidnapping. debora patta spoke to a man in abuja, nigeria's capital. it's a story you'll see only on cbs news. >> reporter: astoundingly the man we interviewed was brazen enough to walk through heavy security and police cordons to talk to us. another source close to the group told us that boko haram moves freely around the country and has integrated into many levels of society. he calls himself saleh abubakar and was initially agitated. >> how long did you plan this abduction for? how long was the operation in the planning stages? >> three months. >> reporter: he then ended the interview, agreeing to meet us at a different location that he felt was more secure. he claims to have seen the
7:04 am
abducted girls three weeks ago and says they are fine. we heard that some of them are sick and require medical attention. >> it's not a problem at all. >> reporter: he told us nothing would happen to the girls as long as the government releases boko haram fighters being held in nigerian jails. he refused to say whether the girls had been moved across the border and claimed they would no longer be sold as slaves because they had all converted willingly to islam. >> but you have children. how would you feel if they were abducted? >> you see the enemies among the children. it's assertive to find all of them. >> reporter: the nigerian government says the group is linked to al qaeda. >> do you get support from al qaeda? do they give you money? >> no, no. i don't know anything about
7:05 am
this. they are my brother in islam. >> reporter: he warned there would be more abductions. >> and are there future plans to abduct more girls? >> yes. >> there are plans to abduct more girls. >> yes. >> another big abduction? >> yes. >> reporter: for several days now there have been suggestions that some of the girls may be released. certainly from this man we got no sense of urgency. our sources tell us that boko haram and the government are still trying to thrash out a bag door deal but for the parents this will be little comfort. their children have now been missing for five weeks. for "cbs this morning" debora patta, abuja, nigeria. two jet liners almost hit each other over one of america's busiest airports. if they had collided, more than 200 people could have died. a preliminary ntsb report shows the planes missed each other by just 200 feet. jan crawford is at newark
7:06 am
liberty airport in new jersey where the near disaster happened last month. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. to understand just how close 200 feet is, think about this. these kind of passenger jets are supposed to maintain a minimum distance of two miles apart, which means these two planes, one of which was coming from the west, were about as close as you could get without a collision. it was just after 3:00 p.m. on april 24th when united airlines flight 1243 from san francisco was making its final approach with 161 people on board. but just as a boeing 737 jet prepared to touch down at newark liberty airport, an express jet flight bound for memphis with 50 people on board was cleared to take off on an intersecretating runway. realizing the jets were getting too close air traffic control ordered the united flight to abort landing. the two planes came within about 130 yards of each other
7:07 am
vertically and about 50 yards laterally. so close the express jet plane had to keep its nose down as a precaution. >> we're putting the nose down. it was real close. >> reporter: the incident occurred just one day before two 757s nearly collided over the ocean. >> we just got an emergency. >> these kinds of things are extremely rare, but to have two of them happen within 24 hours of each other is even more rare. >> reporter: in both cases, disaster was averted in a matter of seconds. >> all right, kpaurt you are, yeah, he was real close. >> the ntsb is going to be looking at all of the factors. if processes were shortcuted or if something else happened here to create this environment where this catastrophe could have occurred. >> reporter: now, there is construction going on here at this airport as this investigation is ongoing. one thing to keep in mind is it
7:08 am
occurred, the incident occurred at the intersection of a shorter runway that really isn't used very much here but it's being used more often now because of that construction project. >> six of the airline passengers are recovering injured in arizona yesterday evacuating a jet. flight 142 to wichita had 168 people aboard. the md-80 was heading for the runway at the phoenix-mesa airport when the captain smelled smoke. >> on comes the pilot and he yells evacuate, evacuate. i actually almost jumped out of the plane before the flight ejected because i didn't know what else to do but all the exits were opened and everyone started evacuating. >> the passengers got out using the emergency slides. they flew to wichita in a different plane. an airport spokesperson said the six injuries were minor. this morning china's foreign ministry is calling the u.s. government bull eies and hi
7:09 am
hypocrites. they accuse them of hacking and stealing e-mails. >> it is the first time the united states has brought indictments like these. they have the potential for diplomatic and business fallout. mike morell is a former deputy cia director. he is in washington. mike, good morning. >> good morning, charlie. good morning, norah. >> these kinds of charges have been rumored for a long time and the assumption was they were taking place. why have they decided to go after these people now? >> the theft of u.s. intellectual property is a very serious problem. i've seen estimates of the cost of $250 billion a year. not only by china, but by a number of countries. the u.s. has been in dialogue, quiet dialogue with the chinese for a couple of years trying to work this out. there was very little progress, so i think this step was designed to get not only china's attention on this issue but
7:10 am
other countries' attention as well. >> what retaliation do they expect from the chinese? >> i would expect the kind of retaliation you saw today. very strong rhetoric. and i would also expect, charlie, that you would see at some point in the not-too-distant future the chinese make the united states pay some sort of economic price. some sort of economic deal that we would like to see happen will quietly go away and the chinese will send a very strong signal that way. >> mike, this is interesting because most countries acknowledge that they spy on one another, but this is specifically about economic espionage, secrets that affect our businesses. does the u.s. conduct economic espionage on other countries? >> the united states does not and in my experience never has stolen economic secrets from another country and given them to our companies for economic advantage. we do not do that.
7:11 am
a number of other countries do, but we do not and never have. >> is the key word we have not given them to other companies? >> we're not -- >> we've done it but not given it to other companies? >> so charlie, in general we're not even interested in economic secrets. we're interested in national security information that can help the president keep our country safe. for the most part economic secrets don't fall into that category. >> why not? >> because we're more interested in what -- in what militaries are doing, in what the leadership is thinking about, in what terrorist groups are doing, not in what companies are doing. >> let me ask you about the disclosures about whether the ci is using inquiries as part of a strategy to gain access to certain countries and people. >> i can't talk about what we've
7:12 am
done in the past but the white house statement yesterday made it very clear that the cia in the future is not going to use vaccination programs to collect intelligence. i think that is a very wise move. it was actually a decision that director brennan made while i was still at the agency. it's just being made public now. it's a wise move because when dr. afredi was arrested in pakistan and accused of helping the cia collect intelligence by giving vaccinations, al qaeda and its militant allies in pakistan killed a number of health workers because they thought they were spies. the vast, vast, vast majority of these people were innocent and it's just very, very unfortunate. so in order to protect these kind of workers going forward, making such a statement and following through on it i think is very important. >> thanks, mike. in thailand an important
7:13 am
american ally in southeast asia is under martial law this morning. troops filled the streets of bangkok without warning. the army's top general said the military is only trying to keep order. seth doane is tracking the sudden move from beijing. seth, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. that's right, thailand head of the military, head of the army took to the air waves early this morning and declared martial law. he insisted, though, that it was not a coup. instead he said it was aimed at stabilizing this country where we've seen so many protests over the last six months. this is a complex conflict that can be broken down into two basic groups. the red shirts and the yellow shirts. the red shirts are pro-government supporters. they step behind the former prime minister who was removed in a coup in 2006 following corruption charges. then his sister was in charge, she was the prime minister until just a couple of weeks ago when she was removed by a thai court following abuse of power charges but that did not quiet the anti-government protesters, the
7:14 am
yellow shirts. they are often thought of as royalists and they step behind the king. their support comes from the wealthier ruling class, the elite in the city. seeing troops on the streets in thailand is certainly nothing new for thais. i was in bangkok a couple of weeks ago and got quite used to seeing various troops at intersections. norah. >> seth, thank you. and primary voters in six states go to the polls this morning. among the most closely watched races, the senate primary in kentucky. that's where the republican leader, mitch mcconnell, is fighting off a challenge from the right. nancy cordes is in louisville with a contest some see as a referendum on the influence of the tea party. nancy, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. you know, mitch mcconnell wields so much power in washington and here in kentucky that he hasn't faced a serious primary challenge in 30 years. but this year he's fighting to fend off not just his republican challenger today, but a general election challenge that could prove even tougher.
7:15 am
>> hey, hey, ho, ho, mitch mcconnell has got to go. >> reporter: mitch mcconnell may be the senate's top republican, but these days it's often in to be an outsider. so businessman and first-time politician matt bevin made a splash when he jumped into kentucky's republican primary. he argued mcconnell, a conservative who sometimes cuts deals with the white house, isn't conservative enough. >> this is a battle for the heart and soul of the entire political process. >> reporter: some tea party groups rushed in to help, urging kentucky voters to ditch mitch. mcconnell responded by raising $21 million and moving to the right on issues like immigration and foreign aid. >> the way to change the senate is to make me the leader of the majority next year. >> reporter: his strategy appears to be working. senator mcconnell leads in recent polls by double digits.
7:16 am
and senate republicans in south carolina, mississippi and kansas have adopted mcconnell's playbook to beat back their own tea party challengers. bevin argues even if he loses today, he's made an impact. >> do i think i've moved the needle? you bet. he's been forced to campaign. he's been forced to care like he's actually interested in the people of kentucky and this has changed a lot. >> reporter: but as senator mcconnell protects his right flank, a threat has been growing from the left. kentucky's secretary of state, allison lundergan griemmes, has pulled even with mcconnell in the polls. >> why would that be in a red state like kentucky? >> that's just the way it is. the further up the ladder you go in american politics, the more of a target you become. i accept that. i don't have any sense of entitlement. we're going to go out and herb the support of our voters here both in the primary and the general. >> reporter: what this primary shows is how seriously senate
7:17 am
republicans are now taking their tea party challengers after losing a few races to them in the last few election cycles. senators from the right need only six seats to retake the senate and many of them believe they would already control the senate if those tea party challengers hadn't gone on to lose in many cases in the general elections. norah. >> nancy, thank you. and this morning switzerland's second largest bank admits it helped thousands of americans avoid paying taxes. credit suisse will pay more than $2.5 billion to settle with the justice department. contribution news business analyst jill schlessinger is here with a guilty plea to crimes going back decades. jill, good morning. this is a very big deal. >> this is a big deal. very rarely do we see financial institutions admit to criminal wrongdoing, it's mostly civil cases. in fact we have to go back two decades to get there to a bankers trust case before in 1989. so this doesn't happen that often. >> so credit suisse was recruiting americans to hide their money and avoid taxes?
7:18 am
>> yes, 22,000 accounts. and what they really were doing were setting up these sham accounts in switzerland, where there is bank secrecy, and allowing -- and not just allowing, but fostering, aiding and abetting these customers to evade taxation. that is criminal wrongdoing. >> could executives have gone to jail over something like this? >> they could have, but the regulators made a specific case for not doing that. the ceo of credit suisse will keep his job. the chairman will also keep his job. and i think that's a bit infuriating. >> and this is about the justice department sending a message to foreign banks too, right? >> absolutely. you can't buck the u.s. rules. you can't help people evade taxes. we don't care what your local secrecy rules are, you have to abide by u.s. law. >> jill, thank you so much. >> great to be with you. the murder trial of oscar pistorius adjourned this morning. it won't resume until next month. a south african judge today ordered pistorius to undergo a
7:19 am
psychiatric evaluation next week. the testing will term whether he was able to distinguish between rice ri right and wrong when he shot his girlfriend last year. a psychiatrist testified that pistorius suffered from an anxiety disorder that he struggled with since his childhood. ahead, we're going to look at headlines from around the world. plus miss teen usa opens up about being hacked as the feds shut down nearly 100 alleged low pressure spinning across the state right over the bay area now and bringing with it some clouds even some scattered light showers outside this morning. looks like pretty cloudy toward san jose and that's where we're seeing some of those showers this morning. looks like it could be very unsettled as we head throughout the day even the chance of an isolated thunderstorm. and then temperatures going to be cool and breezy coastside. 50s and 60s there. 60s inside the bay. some 70s in the valleys. much calmer weather and much warmer toward the weekend.

7:40 am
rome? sure! before xarelto®, mary took warfarin, which required monthly trips to get her blood tested. but that's history. back to the museum? not this time! now that her doctor switched her to once-a-day xarelto®, mary can leave those monthly trips behind. domestic flight? not today! like warfarin, xarelto® is proven effective to reduce afib-related stroke risk. but xarelto® is the first and only once-a-day prescription blood thinner for patients with afib not caused by a heart valve problem that doesn't require regular blood monitoring. so mary is free of that monitoring routine. for patients currently well managed on warfarin, there is limited information on how xarelto® and warfarin compare in reducing the risk of stroke. xarelto® is just one pill a day taken with the evening meal. spinach? grazie! plus, with no known dietary restrictions, mary can eat the healthy foods she likes. don't stop taking xarelto®, rivaroxaban, unless your doctor tells you to. while taking xarelto®, you may bruise more easily and it may take longer for bleeding to stop.
7:41 am
xarelto® may increase your risk of bleeding if you take certain medicines. xarelto® can cause serious bleeding, and in rare cases, may be fatal. get help right away if you develop unexpected bleeding, unusual bruising, or tingling. if you have had spinal anesthesia while on xarelto®, watch for back pain or any nerve or muscle related signs or symptoms. do not take xarelto® if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. tell your doctor before all planned medical or dental procedures. before starting xarelto®, tell your doctor about any conditions, such as kidney, liver, or bleeding problems. switching to xarelto® was the right move for mary. ask your doctor about once-a-day xarelto®. no regular blood monitoring; no known dietary restrictions. for information and savings options download the xarelto® patient center app, call 1-888-xarelto, or visit goxarelto.com

"consumer reports" test ed 20 sn screens whamt did they find? >> they compared what the bottles claimed with how well the product actually protected people from the sun, and only two of the products they looked at really lived up to the claims on the bottle. in fact, most of them had much less spf protection than they claimed to although they recommended seven. so spf is a measure of how well the product protects us from the uvb rays from the sun that cause sun burn, but it doesn't talk at all about uva rays which are more deeply penetrating and are at risk for skin cancer. look for the words broad spectrum because it will protect
8:14 am
you from both. >> they're all spf 50, aren't they? >> there are a lot of products that list greater than spf 50, but a higher number doesn't necessarily mean it's better. so, for instance, an spf of 70 isn't double the protection of an spf of 35. and, in fact, there's been talk. the fda had considered at one point of capping the claims that you can put on the bottle at 50 because it's giving people a false sense of security. if you have this spf of 70 you feel you can sit outside all day and that's just not the case. >> that is what i thought, the higher the number the better. i think it's important to tell your cousins, and by that i mean people of color, that they should wear sunscreen, too. i found out the hard way we can burn just as easily. you're saying don't always go for the higher number? is that what you're saying? >> it's not the necessarily just about the higher number but rather picking a very good product. actually the fda doesn't test products once they are on the store shelves. they rely on the manufacturers to do that and be honest in
8:15 am
their testing, you know, with what the products are actually doing. and of course manufacturers test under the best possible conditions. so the product may say spf 35 but it means if you put it on in a certain way and the sun just hits you at a specific time and you're not sweat iing or swing anything else. >> bottom line, someone who buys sunscreen by the case in my house,s and then has family with skin cancer, use it liberally be a often, right? >> absolutely. it's about reapplying on a regular basis. >> thank you, dr. holly. most teenagers are happy with fries and a coke are on the menu. that's not good enough for this 15-year-old chef. he is cooking up a storm for a very exclusive clientele. we'll introduce you ahead on "cbs this morning." >> announcer: cbs morning rounds sponsored by cottonelle. oh my goodness. do you know what that adds up to?
