welcome to "cbs this morning." charlie rose is on assignment so anthony mason is with us. >> happy friday. >> good morning, glad to have you here. dealing with some bald weather as you wake up in the west. more high winds are fueling a huge wildfire in southern california. flames are still burning out of control in the mountains 90 miles east of los angeles. >> more homes have been destroyed. more people have been forbesed edforced to get out. ben tracy is in whitewater near palm springs. ben, good morning. >> this fire has now burned through 17,000 acres hand destroyed 26 homes. however, some progress is being made. firefighters now say the fire is 20% contained. just as they thought they were trying to get a handle on this now they'll have to deal with strong winds today which will complicate the firefight, quickly spread the fire and make it more unpredictable. the firefight is now in its third day, being waged by an army of 1,000 firefighters. what is the condition of the
7:04 am
brush in these areas? >> it's pretty dog gone dry. >> reporter: gordon o'neill and his crew were trying to cut out the bone-d brush r homes that is this fire's fuel. >> we have active fire going on right no like i said we're just trying to make sure that these pockets don't turn into that over there. the bottom line is we don't want to lose structures. >> reporter: with rugged terrain, dry conditions and steady winds, crews have also had to fight the fire with fire. they have intentionally lit massive backfires on hillsides to create larger containment lines. >> i'm afraid the fire is going to come back down towards my house again. >> reporter: steve has been hosing down his property since he survived the firestorm wednesday night. >> you don't want to lose everything and start over again. i've been here 40 years. i plan on retiring here. >> reporter: another home nearby was saved by strangers. a group of photographers from los angeles came to document the fire.
7:05 am
they found this garage with a car inside engulfed in flames. shawn put down his camera and picked up a hose. >> we finally got some water on it and i was spraying the side of the house and it's still here. >> reporter: if you're at home this morning thinking you've heard a lot about wildfires in california this year well there's good reason for that. so far this year, twice as many acres in california have burned since this time last year. this isn't a fire season that doesn't really peak till september and october. there's a long way to go and days like today with gusty winds are not easy. >> ben tracy, thanks. there's no relief in sight for the midwest and southeast. torrential floods have claimed two lives. flood warnings and watches are posted from kansas to tennessee. as jennifer reyes of our national affiliate wtbs showed us some families have lost everything. >> reporter: good morning. i'm standing outside one of two red cross shelters that were set up. this one here is housing nearly
7:06 am
2 dozen people who were affected by the floods. the flash floods came through faster and stronger than anyone expected. the devastating floodwaters began rapidly rising after dumping over seven inches of rain in just three hours in nashville thursday. the downpour left cars sub mermged on roads and more than 100 homes and businesses completely flooded out. forcing residents to seek higher ground on rooftops till help arrived. >> i think i'm feeling shock. it happened. i can't believe it's happened again. the floor started ripples because it's a floating floor. it was literally floating. we put everything we could real fast up high. >> reporter: in the inglewood suburb of nashville, homeowners are battling the second major flood in only three years. and still rebuilding from the last disaster. >> all the cabinets will have to be done. everything from about here down will have to come back out of
7:07 am
the house. >> reporter: city emergency responders received over 200 calls for help throughout the day. and even rescued a 5-week-old baby from the rushing water. with dozens uninhabitable, the red cross set up shelters. >> we're getting shelters ready. we don't know how many might come out but we want to be preeb prepared. >> reporter: a forecast that says more rain is on the way for our region whose residents are already up to their necks in anxiety. >> this is terrible. this is very hard. we have everything in the house destroyed. >> reporter: thankfully there were no deaths reported here in nashville. red cross officials say they're willing to stay open as long as they have to. norah, anthony. >> meteorologist craig setzer is with us. >> there has been a break in the action overnight last night. heaviest thunderstorms were yesterday that caused the flash flooding.
7:08 am
overnight, most of the activity was to the north of those hardest hit areas, through parts of kentucky. there are more big thunderstorms up stream right now across oklahoma, kansas moving into missouri and arkansas. those could eventually impact areas hardest hit. flood warnings are also in effect. and models are showing that more heavy rainfall is possible through the day today, tonight and even into tomorrow. across the areas that do not need any additional rainfall. those folks are going to have to stay set for more potential flooding. >> craig, thanks. another terror threat this morning. the state department has ordered the evacuation of nonessential personnel from the u.s. consulate in lahore pakistan. a u.s. epbase spokeswoman in islamabad tells cbs news intelligence points to the lahore mission as the target. american citizens are being warned not to travel to pakistan. the latest scare is not related to this week's closings of 19 other american diplomatic posts. >> with us now from washington
7:09 am
cbs news national security analyst juan zarate. a new threat now in lahore pakistan, prompting more evacuations. what do we know? >> we know this is a separate threat from what we were hearing in recent days. this is specific to the consulate in lahore. personnel are potentially at risk. that's why you're seeing the state department take the measure it has taken today. >> let's turn to the operation that's ongoing in yemen. yesterday, we heard three drone strikes in one day taking out a dozen militants. why are they -- who specifically are they targeting? >> well the u.s. government the yemeni government are going to be doing everything possible to disrupt anything that al qaeda in the arabian peninsula, the group in yemen, is planning or doing. that means if they have targets that are related to cells, safe houses, any key targets or individuals part of that group, they're going to hit them. what they're trying to do is
7:10 am
take off of the battlefield anyone who presents a threat and that's why you see the uptick in strikes. >> some foreign partners are suggesting because we're closing these embassies it sort of be portrays us as weak in a way. >> it's a tough balance for the administration. we're in the post-benghazi period where they were stung for not taking more measures to protect benghazi before that tragic attack. so the administration wants to protect our personnel and sites. the criticism raises a good point. we don't want to demonstrate weakness. we don't want to close our outrage and diplomatic doors for too long. otherwise, that does demonstrate weakness. that we'll go hide anytime al qaeda says boo. >> at what point do you reopen them? when do you know they're safe? >> that's the challenge. we may not know. with this threat and the threat coming out of yemen and perhaps other affiliates for al qaeda, this threat may persist. we may not get specific enough
7:11 am
information to say it's over or not going to manifest. so authorities are going to be faced with a difficult question as to when they open up the diplomatic doors again. >> "the wall street journal" has an interesting story this morning that essentially the terror plot that shut down these 19 posts was not ordered by al qaeda's leader ayman al zawahiri in pakistan but rather from the yemeni branch of al qaeda. why do you think the administration wanted to correct that, this perception? >> i think they want to demonstrate that al qaeda core is decimated. the group led by zawahiri. but this is not surprising. we know the center of gravity of the movement has moved to yemen and other parts of the world and the challenge here is you have an al qaeda group that has metastasize and is now presenting threats from other parts of the world, not just pakistan and afghanistan. >> president obama will be taking questions at a noon conference, major garrett is at the white house. a lot things to discuss.
7:12 am
>> a great number of topics. the president will deal with all the things you've talked about, pakistan, this new evacuation of embassy personnel, yemen, the uptick in strikes by drones, unmanned aerial vehicles. all of these things will be brought before the president. he's having this press conference before he takes the first family up to martha's vineyard for a week-long vacation. all those terror alerts and security situations will haunt that vacation. as will the destabilized situation in egypt. two members of the senate john mccain, and lindsey graham trying to negotiate some reconciliation, there, those efforts failed. the president monitoring that very carefully. and he'll use this press conference to again drive his retooled economic message which deemphasizes deficit reduction in the coming months with the congress and elevates job growth and wage growth. the president will try to use that message after he returns from his vacation to persuade republicans not to force the
7:13 am
confrontation over potential shutdown or crisis over the debt ceiling. which could lead to default. >> cbs news will privilege you live coverage of the president's news conference that is scheduled for 3:00 p.m. eastern time, noon pacific, right here on cbs news. yesterday, the president waved off questions about his decision to cancel a meeting with russian president vladimir putin. former secretary of state condoleezza rice has studied the u.s./russia relationship since the 1970s. tells charlie rose the two countries don't have that much in common right now. >> the relationship today, is it headed back to the cold war? >> the relationship today is really terrible. just to be very blunt about it. but it's not the cold war. the russia of today is a diminished power. it still has nuclear weapons. it still has a security council veto. but it is, on any given day, the 14th, 15th or 16th largest
7:14 am
economy in the world in a world in which economic power matters. >> it has influence in syria, influence in iran. do we sacrifice that kind of relationship if you don't try to talk to putin one on one in moscow? >> you have to start with the fact that we have very few overlapping interests any longer with russia with this russia. the russians are not going to cooperate on bashar al assad in syria if they don't think he's going to run. in iran they've supported security council resolutions. but i don't think you sacrifice very much by saying to putin in russia look we are not going to sacrifice our interests trying to court you. >> do you support the president's decision not to go after the g-20 to moscow? >> the president is absolutely right not to go to moss skoe for
7:15 am
bilateral conversation with putin at this time. there's nothing to talk about. and the slap in the face to the united states of america of giving asylum to snowden, the president absolutely cannot go to a bilateral conversation with vladimir putin. president obama tried to quote, reset relations with russia. we reset and russia didn't. so the question is is what's left of our interest in dealing with this russia. >> it's interesting to hear condoleezza rice studied russia from the beginning, that was her expertise. >> it's almost like saying it's not worth it. it's very interesting. her point, the economy, 14 15th now? it is a diminished power. >> you were a correspondent there for many years. >> in our next hour we'll have more of charlie's conversation with the former secretary of state. looking at this week's terror alert and the future on the war
7:16 am
on terror. >> the pentagon is getting ready to release new rules for combating sexual assault in the military. defense secretary hagel met with them to talk about the new measures. jan crawford is in washington with new details. >> reporter: this is really the most concrete response we've seen so far from the pentagon to address this issue. here's the thing with the timing. it comes as these wide-ranging reforms that top military brass oppose are starting to gain some steam in congress. according to a memo obtained by cbs news, secretary's plans would include routine independent reviews of sexual assault accusations. immediately after cases are reported. and prohibitions on inappropriate relations between trainers and trainees. speaking wednesday to troops at a marine base in california president obama said combating sexual assault in the military is a top priority. >> we are going to work
7:17 am
together, all of us to stop these crimes of sexual assault and uphold the honor and the integrity that defines the finest military on earth. >> reporter: the pentagon has been under heavy scrutiny and criticism in congress after several high-profile cases of sexual misconduct. an air force officer who had a sexual assault prevention unit was charged in may after groping a woman in a virginia parking lot. at the u.s. naval academy, three midshipman have been charged with sexually assaulting a female midshipman last year. advocates say part of the problem is victims are asteroid of re afraid of the command. >> it will only happen when attorneys and judges take over the process. >> reporter: on capitol hill they're promoting legislation that would take the decisions about prosecuting sexual misconduct out of the hand of
7:18 am
military commanders. at a hearing with top military brass, gillibrand argued they were out of touch. >> not every single commander believes what a sexual assault is. not every single commander can distinguish between a slap on the ass and a rape. >> reporter: the commanders said the best way to combat the problem was from within the military ranks. >> our goal should be to hold commanders more accountable, not render them less able to help us correct the crisis. >> reporter: the pentagon's proposal would keep the decisions within the military discretion. it is not at all clear these efforts to show they're getting out front on this are going to satisfy congress. >> jan crawford thank you. police in four western states along with mexico and canada continue the manhunt for james dimaggio. suspected of kidnapping a 16-year-old after setting his southern california home on fire. inside, police found the burned body, ofies of her mother and a child
7:19 am
