KPIX CBS Morning News February 20, 2014

Ukrainian president and the leaders of three of the top opposition parties agreed to halt the violence late last night, but street feeting is reporting between antigovernment protesters and police as barricades erected by demonstrators continue to burn in the heart of kiev. The truce came hours after the military promised an antiterrorist operation to restore order. At least 28 people have been killed in this weeks violence and today the Foreign Ministers from germany, france, and poland will travel to kiev to meet with both sides before an emergency meeting in brussels. Holly williams is in the ukrainian capital. She joins us by phone. Holly, it sounds like the situation there has deteriorated. Reporter thats correct. We are already seeing deadly clashes here in independence of kiev which has been occupied now for nearly three months. We have just witnessed ourselves dead bodies, protesters bodies. All of them appear to have sustained gunshot wounds apparently to the head and neck. This morning there is gunfire ringing out over the square. The police are throwing gun grenades and the protesters have responded with molotov cocktails. Also here on the square today we saw captured policemen being led away by a group of protesters. They say they would do them no harm but we dont know where theyve been taken. Where do you think this is leading . We had hoped that there would be some sort of peace at least temporarily. You know, i guess the second question also is do you think that the organizers, opposition organizers have any control over the people in the square at this point . Reporter this is clearly a very volatile and dangerous situation, and its pointless to see how this can be resolved because the two sides are so entrenched. On the square, they say they wont leave until Viktor Yanukovych leaves but you can tell hes determined to stay on. Its now clear that both sides are willing to use violence to get what they want. Holly williams in the capital city of ukraine, kiev. Holly, stay safe and thank you. Well, president obama has harshly criticized the violence in ukraine. Susan mcginnis has that part of the story from washington. Susan, good morning. Good morning, annemarie. The diplomatic maneuvering is in high gear right now with both the west and moscow trying to influence the former soviet republic. This protest happened back in november when ukraines president Viktor Yanukovych rejected a deal from the union in exchange for an aid package from russia. Now speaking from mexico yesterday, president obama warned yanukovych to keep the military out of the conflict and he said that there will be consequences if ukraines government steps over the line. Ultimately our interest is to make sure ukrainian people can express their own desires, and we believe that a large majority of ukrainians are interested in an integration with europe and the commerce and cultural exchanges that are possible for them to expand opportunity and prosperity, but regardless how ukra le determine their own future, it is important that the people themselves make those decisions, and thats what the United States will continue to strive to achieve. Now, the United States has imposed travel bans on 20 top ukrainian officials. The kremlin says its butting together the next aid package for ukraine on hold blaming what it describes as a coup attempt. Annemarie . Susan money guinness in washington. Thank you. Theres a new warning for airlines. Terrorists could smuggle the bombs in their shoes. Marlie mall has more. Good morning. Homeland says it often shares this type of information with the airlines, but declined to discuss the specifics of this latest warning. Travelers heading to the airport this morning could face tighter security. The department of Homeland Security is warning airlines to watch for explosives that could be hidden in shoes, liquids, or cosmetics. Officials say this is a general warning and not a specific threat and has been issued through an abundance of caution. Terrorists like targeting airlines. Theres an Economic Impact to, that psychological impact. This new warning is similar to the one that came out a few weeks ago just before the Winter Olympics in sochi. That bulletin advised that terrorists could smuggle bombmaking materials in toothpaste tubes or cosmetic containers, but that warning dealt with flights headed to russia, not the u. S. Terrorists are trying to find new ways of smuggling materials on board around the security features or using different materials. In 2001 richard ree tried to set off a shoe bomb on a miami flight. Pulling off shoes is now a standard procedure. If youre aware of your surroundings and youre a frequent flyer like i am, youre kind of used to these things and kind of roll with it a lot. Wednesdays notice targets flights heading into the u. S. From overseas. Annemarie, so far theres no word of any changes or additions to current screening procedures. Marlie hall here in new york. Thank you, marlie. Well, a middle School Football coach faces murder charges in the death of a 10yearold missouri girl. Craig michael wood is accused of snatching hailey owens as she walked home from a friends house on tuesday. Police say neighbors helped solve the crime. They wrote down his drivers license number and even chased him as he sped off in his truck. The fact that people were paying attention and actually tried to stop the abduction from the reports ive read, took action, is to be commended. Could have been the opposite, that no one had seen anything and we would still be looking and we wouldnt have a clue as to who did this. Police dont think the girl knew the suspect. They say her remains were found in his basement. Well, parts of the country buried by snow now face a flood threat. The National Weather service is warning its residents from missouri all the way to western new york. Rain coupled with rising temperatures and melts snow could inundate streams and rivers. In some places the concern is ice dam flooding. Ice falling from skyscrapers menaced pedestrians in new york city. Some ran for cover.
