7:03 am
welcome to "cbs this morning." gayle king is off. good morning norah. >> good morning, charlie. >> we begin today remembering an historic day 70 years ago. world leaders are paying tribute right now to those who sacrificed so much. on june 6, 1944 more than 160,000 allied troops stormed the beaches of normandy france. >> the massive assault on that longest day is credited for changing the direction of world war ii. mark phillips is in normandy where the president led this morning's remembrance ceremony. mark, good morning. >> good morning. 70 years ago today one of the grandest, the bloodiest and the most ambitious military endeavors of all time is under way here and all along this coast american and british and canadian veterans and dignitaries are remembering those who fought and died here
7:04 am
and what they fought for. the cemetery here overlooking omaha beach contains the graves of over 9,000 americans killed during d-day and the battles that followed. they're forever young. those who lived and are approaching are in their 90s. this may be the last chance at a major anniversary to honor them in person. that is president obama's task today. >> we come to remember why america and our allies gave so much for the survival of liberty at this moment of maximum peril. >> reporter: it was 70 years ago but it can seem like yesterday. >> this is richard c. huddle speaking in london. the allied services landed this morning. >> reporter: some elements of the d-day operation were
7:05 am
recreated. today's airborne honoring yesterday's, celebrating the accomplishments, remembering the cost. yet even as noble words were spoken here about courage and sacrifice, the tensions of the current world are evident as well. who would want to do the seating plan for this official d-day lunch hosted by the french at a local chateau? it brings to the new president of ukraine and vladimir putin, the russian president who has annexed part of the country and threatened others? no direct talks are scheduled but the french are hoping an encounter might be an icebreaker. that's the other lesson learned here. the battle on these beaches didn't end history, it just changed it. >> president obama and vladimir putin appeared to avoid each other in a group photo but the white house says they did in fact have an informal conversation. it's their first face-to-face
7:06 am
meeting since the uprising began in ukraine this spring. bill plante is also near the cemetery near omaha beach in normandy. bill? >> reporter: good morning. president obama came here today to remind that the struggle for freedom lives on. that was his message to all here, including the few remaining survivors of that d-day landing 70 years ago. >> these men waged war so that we might know peace. they sacrificed so that we might be free. they fought in hopes of a day when we would no longer need to fight. we are grateful to them. >> reporter: the president reassured these veterans that their legacy is in good hands. >> we're in a time when it has never been more tempting to pursue narrow self-interest, to sluff off common endeavor. this generation of americans, a new generation our men and
7:07 am
women of war have chosen to do their part as well. >> reporter: he praised today's service members as still aware of the call of duty. >> and this generation this 9/11 generation of service members, they too, felt something. they answered some call. they said i will go. they, too, chose to serve a cause that's greater than self. many even after they knew they'd be sent into harm's way. >> reporter: remembering through the decades what happened here to the greatest generation freedom is the common denominator. and though it exists today on this now peaceful bluff, somewhere of course it still does not. norah. >> bill plante thank you. >> and this morning seattle police say a deadly shooting at a college could have been much worse. the gunman killed one person and injured three others. police are holding a suspect tackled at the scene. rob munoz of our affiliate is on

the campus of seattle pacific where classes are cancelled. >> reporter: good morning. aaron is still in custody this morning after terrorizing. christian college community yesterday. >> the weapon possibly involved is going to be a shotgun. >> reporter: 26-year-old aaron opened fire shot several rounds hit tleegting three people when he was taken down by john meese, a student at the security desk. >> there was a man on the ground with somebody sitting on top of him. and a huge whole bunch of shotgun casing shells underneath
7:09 am
them. and it turned out -- that was a student who i guess had tackled the shooter. >> a group of students helped meese pin him to the ground. among the gunshot victims was a 20-year-old woman. >> she had a lot of blood on her chest, probably indicating chest wound. >> reporter: he tried to comfort her while they waited for medics. >> she was basically panicking, call my mom call my aunt call my best friend, i need you to make these calls for me i think i'm going to die. >> reporter: emergency crews took the victims, all in their 20s, to the harbor view community center where one man was pro announced dead. >> he was critically injured and died shortly after arrival. >> reporter: hundreds packed for
7:10 am
a service and prayers at this christian community. many are expressing gratitude to those who risk their own safety. >> many citizens stepped up and i believe in this case they prevented a more horrible tragedy than it was today. >> reporter: aaron ebar is expected to make a court appearance this afternoon. the 26-year-old-year-old victim is still in critical condition, the two others are recovering. >> a man is in custody accused of killing three canadian royal mounted police officers. residents had been told since wednesday to stay home and lock their doors. >> parts of arkansas and tennessee remain under a flash flooding threat. at least one man died in thursday's violent storms and a 6-year-old boy is missing after
7:11 am
he was swept away by floodwaters. falling trees killed two people in northeastern arkansas. high winds there apparently pushed this tv into the side of a garage. and a freight train was blown off its tracks. more than two dozen boxes of targ cargo fell off but no one was hurt. >> hillary clinton said she pushed president obama to end the u.s. embargo on cuba. she reveals much more in her new book "hard choices." it does not hit book stores until next week but we were able to buy a copy at a book store. and nancy cordes is here with a look inside the memoir. >> reporter: good morning to you. the book starts with hillary clinton lying down in the back seat of a minivan, trying to evade reporters on her way to a secret meeting with barack obama. clinton writes that she and her democratic rival buried the
7:12 am
hatchet over a bottle of chardonnay at the home of a mutual friend senator dianne feinstein of california. both barack obama and i and you are staffs have long lists of grievances, she writes it was time to clear the air. we stared at each other luke two two -- like two teen-agers on a first date until barack obama broke the ice. i wanted to go back to the senate and to new york. but supposed i had been selected president and wanted barack obama to serve as my secretary of state. she embarked on a life of constant travel and diplomacy and is candid about the world leaders she got to know. russian president putin, she writes, proved over time to be thin skinned and ought democraticdemocrat -- autocratic and resented criticism. german chancellor angela merkel
7:13 am
was decisive astute and straight forward. when it comes to america's leader, clinton is complementary, even when describing their occasional disagreements. like in 2012 when she and david petraeus failed to convince obama to start training and arming rebels. clinton writes with the confidence of a long-time politician touting herself as an early voice calling publicly for palestinian statehood, whose diplomatic intervention, according to an israeli official was the only thing standing in the way of a much more explosive confrontation. but she also shares some regrets, like the administration's cautious reaction in 2009 to the iranian regime's violent crackdown on anti-government protesters that left dozens dead and thousands
7:14 am
more detained. in retrospect she writes i'm not sure our restraint was the right choice. she'd also rethink that gimmicky reset button she held aloft with the russian foreign minister. it was not the finest hour for american linguistic skills she jokes. and she says she's still haunted by her vote to go to war in iraq back in 2002. i thought i had acted in good faith but i still got it wrong, plain and simple. of course the big reason there has been so much anticipation about this book is because people wondered whether clinton would drop any hints about a possible run for president. well, four pages from the end she says "i have not made up my mind." as far as potential 2016 political rival joe biden is concerned, norah and charlie, there were no harsh words. >> nancy, thanks. john dickerson has also been digging in to "hard choices."
7:15 am
good morning. let's dig in. >> there's a lot to dig into. 700 pages. secretary clinton is at ease in this book but it is a very careful book. we knew it want going to be gossipy, that's not her style. but if you compare it to secretary gates, that was a bit of a tell-all not gossipy but behind the scenes. there's a lot of weasely behavior. it's not about that. >> is this book do you think because there aren't many mistakes admitted because it's very careful, a suggestion she in fact is running for president? >> this is not the book of somebody with nothing to lose who is just winging it on the porch with a glass of scotch. this is a book where there are really no harsh words for anyone. she said putin is thin skinned add autocratic.
7:16 am
he might wrinkle his nose at the first but he would think the second is a complement.iment. >> there's a chapter on libya and a chapter on benghazi. her toughest critics come from that subject. she does say far and away her greatest regret is not being able to bring those four diplomats home. >> there's not a lot of introspection about mistakes made in this book. >> are there things to seize on her opponent? >> i think her opponents will seize on what is not set. this is to suggest the voters can put the world in her hands. she shecease sees the complexity. >> anybody who interviewed her can see there is a calmness about her.
7:17 am
she as secretary of state is not the same as first lady. >> it's a portrait of doggedness, of a hard working person and the world digging it out. >> and this morning a military hospital in germany says sergeant bowe bergdahl is showing signs of improvement. doctors say he's resting better and talking with medical staff. and there is in information that led to bergdahl's release. the white house is offering new reasons for not telling congress ahead of time about the transfer. chip, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. and good morning to our viewers in the west. initially the white house said they did not give congress advance notice of the prisoner swap because of concerns about bergdahl's health. but now they say it was a more serious concern. they were worried his taliban captors might kill him.
7:18 am
independent maine senator angus king said he was told keeping it secret was a matter of death. >> i can confirm the statement was given to us that if word of the negotiations leaked out that sergeant bergdahl could have been killed. >> but maine republican senator susan collins isn't buying the administration's new version of events. >> that doesn't make any sense to me. because obviously if he were killed, then the taliban would not be getting back the five highly valued taliban commanders. so the stories given by the administration have been inconsistent. >> reporter: initially administration officials said they failed to notify congress because of concerns about bergdahl's health. he was able to walk but he was in declining health. and american officials
7:19 am
debriefing him now learned that the conditions were harsher than they thought. in a conversation with charlie rose, the white house continued to defend the swap. >> how do you measure the price you pay or is no price too expensive to pay if it means doing what was said today, we bring our people home it's unequivocal. do you pay any price to do that? >> you assess the price just like whether or not you assess whether you can extract him through a military operation. it was not likely to be an opportunity that would be there for a long time and judgments were made that this was absolutely the right thing to do. >> when bergdahl disappeared from his post five years ago, it was the second time. but the first time he returned. good morning, everybody. hiding out the door, we have full-on sunshine in our inland
7:20 am
areas. that's the look right now from mount vaca. but we still have cloud at the coast. temperature-wise, we are into the 50s across the board. later today, partial coastal clearing into the 60s. 70s bayside and peninsula. 80s santa clara valley and to the north and low 90s away from the bay into our eastern district. temperatures this weekend climbing to the triple digits each day and then we hold on to this pretty hot weather pattern through thursday. make it a great day! port sponsored by kyocera, intelligent printers and mfps document solutions from kyocera.

america's auto industry is at a new crossroads. gm has been rocked by recall scandal and a new generation is moving at ford. ceo alan mulally hands over the keys to his successor mark fields on july 1. bill ford hand-picked mulally to lead the automaker eight years ago. since then ford has gone from $23 billion this in if losses to $4 $4 $43 billion in profits. alan mulally is here in studio 57 57. welcome. >> hi, charlie. hi, norah. >> much to talk about. first, general motors. how do you see their problems and what you would do if you were running that auto company. >> well charlie, clearly i'm
8:14 am
not at general motors but i can give you my perfectspective representing ford. the most important thing that drives us is the focus on the customer continually understand everything about our products and anytime we see an issue move decisively to do the right thing for the customer. >> wouldn't gm have that same sense? >> well, in ford's case we are set up and organized where we have businesses around the world, but we also have skill teams like engineering and manufacturing going across the world so we have tremendous advice bt and insight. >> how do you find responsibility? if i'm ceo i want to know how something like this could happen and make sure i act in the right way. >> oh, charlie absolutely. and our whole process is base ed!d on safe and efficient transportation, so everybody -- >> are you saying this couldn't happen at ford? >> well you always want to be really humble -- >> because you've had your own problems in the past. >> absolutely. the most important thing is to create a culture where everybody knows what the status is and the areas of special attention. i'm very proud. >> i get the impression the new
8:15 am
ceo is trying to do just that. >> i'm sure she is. it's so important for the industry that we all take responsibility for safe and efficient transportation. >> i guess this is a ceo, what we're cureious about, because i read this report a decade long of negligence across all parts of the company. how does something like that happen? i mean, that's pretty widespread. >> well, clearly i can only speak for ford and all i know is as you pointed out in your opening remarks, for eight years we've pulled together as a team around a compelling vision of henry ford's vision of safe and affordable transportation. >> here is what i hear you saying, i'm not going to criticize general motors. i will only tell you what happens at ford. >> absolutely. i'm proud of the way ford deals with customers and issues when they come up. >> tell me what you think of elon musk and tesla. >> i think elon has a very interesting business proposition with tesla. what he focused on was the high
8:16 am
end of the luxury market -- >> trying to bring that down. >> and now he's trying to democratize electric vehicles. we have in ford tremendous electric vehicles on the smaller size. his unique proposition is he has a battery big enough to remove the range anxiety. of course it costs $60,000 or $70,000 so it's a limited market tore the vehicle. we are dedicated to improving the battery and cost effectiveness. >> has he made other auto make he is more competitive as he pushed them because he was willing to get out there? and attract attention for what he's doing and then market the stock market has responded. >> that's the important part about electronic vehicles. there is a lot more awareness now of the value of electric l vehicles and the challenge to have them be affordable because henry ford and ford have always wanted to make it available for everybody so they really the key thing is to work on technology to get the cost of the batteries
8:17 am
to be more effective. >> you wonder though if there has been enough urgency about this. >> it's interesting because henry ford was very good friends with thomas edison at the turn of the century and at that time all of the vehicles ford had were electric. so we've been dedicating to figuring this out for 111 years. we're going to figure it out but it will be a new chemistry probably for the batteries. >> when will that happen? >> i think over the next few years. >> you had massive losses at ford. you turned that around to big profits and you talked about changing the culture of a company. how do you change the culture of a can company or business? >> well, i think you reported the story where when i first arrived, it was hard to get good visibility into what the real status was. everybody wasn't on the team. i think the most important thing is to come together and have everybody on the team agree to a vision about what the ford brand was going to stand for, quality, fuel efficiency, safety and complete family. then the management system every thursday worldwide we sit down
8:18 am
together and we review every aspect of the business, all the new vehicles, all the launches so there's tremendous transparent si and accountability for knowing what the status is. we color code all the issues too. the reds, the yell lows the greens. >> you're giving everybody out this card that says one ford that lays out the vision and the values of your company. >> this is absolute lyly a huge change for us. we laid out the plan. profitable growth for all. make the best cars and trucks in the world, do it more efficiently than our competition. to your point we laid out the expected behaviors about technical excellence and working together and also our values and delivering results and we are absolute ly absolutely committed to these behaviors. >> the big thing you did, you borrowed a lot of money so you didn't need support from the government. >> we did did take out a small home improvement loan. $ $23 billion. and at the time we did that because we wanted to restructure
8:19 am
the business back to profitability. the. >> you were one of the most recognized ceos in the world. you've had two very successful reigns in two companies so what next for you? >> with well, i haven't been thinking about that so much because, charlie, i've with been really focused on this transition at ford. it's very rare in business as you know to have an orderly traps igstransition. we have one of the strongest teams i've ever had the honor of helping pull together but also the commitment to the strategy, to the management system, to this culture of working together. so i think that's the most important thing i've been focused on. look looking forward to the future. >> have you been approached about leading the v.a. at all? >> i'm looking forward to figuring out the future. >> sounds like an evasion. >> but it's something you might consider? >> well i've been foecused on this transition with ford. >> when will you decide what you'll do next? >> when i officially retire on july 1 and the team is ready to go. they're in great shape and i'm looking forward to what the future will bring. >> alan mulally, great to have

♪ ♪ welcome back to "cbs this morning." hillary clinton's new memoir "hard choices" covers much more than her terpm as secretary of state. >> cbs news bought a copy at a bookstore before next week's official released published by simon and shoeser, a division of cbs. it goes beyond the big issues. nancy, good morning. >> charlie, she writes for instance, about having to read ekret material in a tent or under a blanket inside her hoetel room so the information wouldn't be compromised and clinton says she learned from her loss in 2008 to take criticism seriously but not personally. hard choices begins with a
8:31 am
personal lack at lessons learned from clinton's most public defeat, the 2008 presidential primary. i no longer cared so much about what the critics said about me, clinton writes. i could let my hair down literally. she was urged by the obama campaign to go after republican vice presidential candidate sarah palin, something she refused to do. i was not going to attack palin just for being a woman appealing for support from other women. i didn't think it made political sense, and it didn't feel right. clinton also writes about balancing her role as secretary of state with her familiary life, in particular preparing for her daughter chelsea's wedding in 2010. i felt lucky that my day job had prepared me for the elaborate diplomacy required to help plan a big wedding. i got such a kick out of it that i referred to myself as motb, mother of the bride, in a mother's day e-mail to all state department staff. later clinton expresses the joy of seeing her daughter walk down the aisle. bill was as emotional as i was, maybe even more so and i was
8:32 am
just glad he made it down the aisle in one piece. afterwards bill danced with chelsea to "the way you look tonight." it was one of the happiest and proudest moments of my life. clinton also shares some of her saddest moments writing about the loss of her mother and men mentor dorothy rodham who died in 2011. i'd come home from a long day at the senate or the state department, slide in next to her at the small table this our breakfast nook, and let everything just pour out. on a lighter note clinton offers advice for fellow long distance travelers travelers. to stay awake i drank copious amounts of coffee and tea and sometimes dug the fingernails of one hand into the palm of the other. it was the only way i knew to cope with the crazy schedule and fierce jet lag. clinton is mum on her political future. the one question i'm asked more than any other is will i run for president in 2016? the answer is i haven't decided yet. clinton does poke some fun at herself in the book.
8:33 am
she writes for instance about the time the president pulled her aside, putting his arm around her. she thought he had something really senseitive to discuss but instead, he leaned in and whispered to her, you have something in your teeth. >> what you expect a friend to do do. >> exactly. and she talks about what good friends they were repeatedly in the book. >> have you ever read a book so quickly? >> that was a power read, i have to say. 600 pages. >> yes, nancy, nice to see you. thank you. and hugh jackman is best known for his blockbuster movie role, but he's also a tony award winning actor whose name is front and center as host of this year's tonys. gayle talked with jackman about his career his family and the thrill he still gets from seeing his name in lights. >> there's a picture the other day that you tweeted of the radio city marquee with your name on it. >> yes. >> and said so awesome, so psyched or something, you said. hugh, i found that so endearing that you would do that because it said to me you still get excited about this after all that you do and all who you are,
8:34 am
you still get excited. >> so excited and i can't -- when i saw that marquee, i was like it reminds me i'm a kid from a northern suburb of sydney in australia who is here on broadway and hosting the night that celebrates the best in live theater. >> is there anything you're looking forward to saying i can't wait until so and so takes stage, perhaps another duet with you and neil patrick harris. ♪ any dance you can dance i can dance better ♪ ♪ i can dance any dance better than you ♪ >> hugh is the ultimate performer, actor, singer and dancer. he does it all second to none. this is how people see you. how do you see yourself? >> i see myself as someone who is prepared to have a gun. i still -- like if i think about something, i'm going to try something in the opening that honestly i don't know if i can
8:35 am
pull it off and i love that feeling. i love the feeling of just it's a little nerve-racking but let's go for it. you and i are going to be good friends. >> so i saw my first section of the movie. >> you just don't know it yet. >> based on what i saw in the movie it's time for you to remove your shirt. >> yeah, i'm surprised it took this long now. but you know my rule. >> what's your rule? >> i don't do it on my own. >> listen, i would give it a go. >> have a go. >> this is the thing about the movie, number one, were you reading x-men growing up? no? >> i'd never heard of it. i had no idea what it was. i'd never read it. i read some comics "garfield" and things like that growing up. i was not a big comic book fan. >> it was not like gosh i would love to play wolverine? you look drastically different than yourself. >> very. that's what freaked me out. as soon as i got a copy better get to the gym. >> after 14 years what does he mean to this character?

8:37 am
prefer not -- he just wants me to be dad. >> and i love that you take such great -- you use your social media very well. you recently tweeted a picture of your anniversary and you went back to your wedding day and said one of the happiest days of my life outside of the birth of my children, and just when i thought i couldn't love you more, you and deb adopted these gorgeous, beautiful children. they're mixed race and you said you wanted to do that. i love that, hugh. >> when we got together we tried biologically as well which didn't happen but we were always planning on adopting as well. it was something we both agreed on and when it came to actually investigating it we were given the option. well, where is the need? and they said mainly with mixed race. great. and i didn't see it as an issue. i didn't see race or sexuality or any of that stuff as defining qualities. what i think as a parent or as a
8:38 am
human is important are things that unite us and bring us together. >> yes, yes. >> that unify us. and as parents it just seemed natural for us. >> do you care what people think about you, or are you just naturally nice? and i'm not even trying to be funny. >> no, i probably do care. i feel it's the way i was brought up. what people say is being nice is what my dad would say respectful or have good manners. show people respect. i still feel my father -- don't think because you're famous -- no, don't take this for granted. what about this person? offer the gal a drink. which i haven't, look at me. i feel that 99% is upbringing and that's what i really concentrate on as a parent, too. remind my kids, and i tell them you are going to get a free pass because of me sometimes but you're not going to get one from me. i said, you need to be respectful and go out of your way to make sure that you take care of people be of service. my dad was the greatest example
