7:15 am

7:16 am
right in his lap, and the law is fuzzy about what he should do. it would be helpful for him if it said this is exactly what you must do. but the decision is his about who to name as an interim and when to call for the special election and that means whatever he decides will be seen in the political context, and that he's acting in his own self interest. >> what do you think it means that new jersey star ledger reported that chris christie has a lot of democratic donors contributing him and to christie's own political future? >> well, it means he is popular and that's good for him, and that's good in a democratic state when he's running for governor. good for short-term election in 2013. the problem for him with this and having fans in the democratic elite donor base and also in the media, christie has friends there. warning sign to conservatives and republicans are wary of chris christie for a number of reasons and this is -- could be problematic for him if he wants
7:17 am
to run for president. the donors, conservatives will look at that, they know something. some kind of side deal with them. not really one of us, that money helps now, it may not help in the future. >> some magic bullet for the governor that will get him out of the dilemma? >> he wants the money, but in terms of naming a replacement to senator lautenberg, the challenge, does he has a special election next year when chris christie is on the ballot. he doesn't want to bring out more democrats that will vote against him. if he calls a special ed ligs in 2014, he puts a democrat in a republican seat and does that hurt him in his own state? i'm not sure it hurts him so much. he's up quite a lot in the polls, but he has to make a decision here and one he wasn't expecting. >> john dickerson, thank you so much. another shocking rape case this morning in india. this time the reported victim is

it is 8:00 a.m. in the west. welcome back to "cbs this morning." senators are confronting the pentagon's top generals about sexual assault in the military today. senator mccaskill tells us why congress has to step in. good news for people who wear sunscreen all the time. they tend to look younger. plus, a fresh look at elvis presley before he was the king. we'll show you the photos that have just come out after 57 years. but first, here's a look at today's "eye opener at 8:00." >> that senate hearing now is under way into a series of incidents that appears to suggest a sexual assault problem in the military that is out of control. >> we are acting swiftly and deliberately to change a climate that has become a bit
8:01 am
complacent. there's another scandal back in front of congress. conservatives targeted by the irs testify. >> reporter: they called it inappropriate and alarming. officials here in missouri are keeping a close eye on floodwaters. when that evacuation warning came out last night, residents needed to get out. the fire is now 60% contained, it is still a dangerous situation out here because more changes in the weather could send this fire roaring back to life. in london, it is a day of celebration. the 60th anniversary of elizabeth's coronation. the event was also a tv spectacular. >> walter cronkite reporting from london. president obama is going to be engaged in high-level talks with the president of china. president obama's message to china is going to be, i swear we'll have the money to you by tuesday.

i'm charlie rose with gayle king and norah o'donnell. the joint chiefs of staff are facing a confrontation on capitol hill this morning. >> senators on the armed services committee are asking pointed questions about the rising number of sexual assaults in the military. we spoke with one of those senators, democrat claire mccaskill of missouri, before the hearing started today. >> good morning. >> i know the military chiefs are expected to tell the armed services committee today that they do think that commanders should remain in charge of dealing with these sexual assault cases. why should that be the case? >> well, we have to create an environment where the victim feels like they will be protected, and they will get good information, and that they can come forward without repercussion. so i think it's important that we consider leading the convening authority in at the beginning of the process. it's a general sense to go forward at trial, and that creates an environment where this victim feels like there is
8:03 am
credibility that is being considered on her part. so i think we've got to take away their ability to overturn jury verdicts. that's absolutely inappropriate. but at the end of the day, this is about helping these victims come forward and getting these prosecutions and putting these cowards in prison. >> and senator, i know that defense secretary hagel has expressed support for your legislation. it is different than senator gillibrand's legislation. how, then, do you address the concern that many women in the military are not reporting sexual assaults because they don't want to go to their commander, their boss who's in charge of their careers? don't you have to change that process? >> first, norah, i think it's a reality. i handled these cases for a number of years in the courtroom as a prosecutor. most women don't want to come forward and talk about this crime. this is common. the issue is will there be a place that they can go where they feel protected? they do not have to go to the commander to report this crime. they never even required to make
8:04 am
their report public. they have -- our bill will strengthen this network of people that will be in charge of talking to them as sexual assault professionals and counselors. victim advocates. they are not required to report it to their commander. ultimately the commander and the unit is going to know if they're willing to go forward. the question is how do we create the best environment for them to be willing to do that? >> it's not so much the legal process which is essential, but how do you change the culture. >> and this is a problem for the military. you know, they're, like, 20 years behind. they thought they could train their way out of this problem. they thought this was a matter of just getting more information to their command. you cannot train your way out of this problem. these are predators. they will strike again and again. this has to be a focus of successful prosecution. not let's see if we can make this go away because it might make my unit look bad. but rather, we've got to get
8:05 am
these guys -- get them in a courtroom, convict them and put them away. >> but senator, how do you think it got this bad and this widespread in the u.s. military? >>le with, it's a combination of factors. i think that the military culture did not welcome these kinds of problems. they didn't want this kind of disruption, so it's easier for them to see that this was not really a big problem. and women and men were saying, why would i ever come forward? this is painful. it's private. it's personal. and everybody's going to know about it the minute i come forward, and i work with all these people. so it's -- like my bill allows the victim to move units. they've always been about moving the perpetrator. well, why would you move the perpetrator? why would you move the victim? move the perpetrator. the victim's career should not be disrupted. the perpetrator's should. it's just shifting the focus from this is a problem that we
8:06 am
are awkward around to this is a problem we have to get after. and i think a lot of the military gets that now. >> senator, thank you very much. we'll be watching closely today. >> okay. thank you. just a few months ago the mississippi river didn't have enough water. now there's far too much of it. floodwaters broke through a levee last night in west alton, missouri, north of st. louis. >> the flooding threatened hundreds of people in the area, and another threat, this one in southern california. a wildfire is still burning in the forest north of los angeles. however, nearly 3,000 evacuees are back in their homes this morning. a recent study predicts climate change will cause more midair turbulence. on sunday a singapore airlines flight to london dropped 65 feet in the air because of turbulence. it happened just as they were serving breakfast. photos show everything hit the ceiling. it made a huge mess. a dozen people on board suffered minor injuries. the plane landed safely. the airline gave boxes of chocolate to the passengers.
