as they continue to struggle to clean up all of this snow. washington, d.c. is struggling to get back to business. nearly two feet of snow fell over the weekend and brought the nation's capital to a standstill. >> we're finalizing the paperwork that will allow us to apply for disaster assistance from fema. >> d.c.'s metro worked overtime to get almost all the commuter trains back up by this morning. amtrak is running with reduced service. >> this is a joint team effort. >> the district's director of emergency management says all the major roads in and out of d.c. have been cleared. >> is there more that should have been done here in the district. >> here in the district we know our conditions and what our roadways looked like and what it's like for our residents and children out there, we're making the best decision we can mack. >> reporter: some side streets haven't seen a plow, even more than 48 hours after the snow stopped. douglas hume moved to d.c. from north carolina hours after the storm started friday afternoon.

what do you think of all this snow? >> this is definitely the most i've ever seen and most i've ever dealt with. don't have a gym membership yet. guess i'm glad i'm getting a workout. >> reporter: some residents are concerned the pace of the district's snow removal response could have dangerous consequence. >> what do you think about the fact that there's three feet of snow on your street. >> if an ambulance or fire truck needed to get up, doesn't look like they're getting in here anytime soon. >> reporter: with the federal government closed, there are a lot of people that are staying home and staying off the roads. commuters are finding it slow going as there's still a lot of snow out there. schools are closed, some may open tomorrow. others could be closed the rest of the week. now d.c. is getting help from as far away as massachusetts and overnight, a joint snow melter came in from indiana to help. >> a lot to worry about there. thank you, kris. pockets of new york are still having a tough time

digging out from the blizzard. a massive traffic jam crippled laguardia in queens. it turned the airport and a nearby highway into a parking lot. david, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. it couldn't come soon enough. it's been three days since the blizzard and the city has finally gotten around to cleaning some of the streets in queens where almost 2 million people live. in front of this business, worzer are shoveling out snow so they can get the work trucks out of here and get back to business, rebounding after this blizzard has been slow. look at what happened at one of the airports in new york. >> i've never seen anything like this at laguardia airport, hundreds of passengers were stuck at new york's laguardia last night. gridlocked traffic stranded some people for up to five hours. >> nothing is moving. people just waiting. >> reporter: laguardia was one of the airports hardest hit by this weekend's blizzard. more than 1,500 flights have

been canceled since saturday, creating a backlog. on monday, a massive influx of travelers trying to leave town or get back into it turned travel into torture. >> you see people with luggage, just walking out of laguardia. >> this is crazy. >> reporter: lisa had two flights she was trying to take from nashville back to new york, both canceled. she finally got back to the city. >> people are getting out of their cars and walking through the snow. even when the pope came it wasn't that bad. >> reporter: while most of new york recovered quickly from the record-breaking storm, people in queens are still digging out this morning. 22-year-old katrina has waited three days to get her car out of the snow. youbuq really dependent on the city to do this? >> of course i was.

each other's supporters, questions that were sometimes uncomfortable. >> i'm trying to win her vote. >> reporter: if it wasn't clear before, it is now. >> let me help you up here. >> reporter: every vote counts in this very tight race. >> that's why i hope you'll reconsider. >> reporter: most candidates promised not to raise taxes. sanders promised the opposite. >> we will raise taxes. yes, we will. >> reporter: he said the proceeds would pay for free public college, university health care and better infrastructure. >> people want to criticize me. i will take on the greed of corporate america and the greed of wall street and fight to protect the middle class. >> reporter: he hammered clinton on a long list of issues on which he said he had shown better judgment. >> hillary clinton voted for the war in iraq. i fought against deregulation. why did it take hillary clinton such a long time before she came

into opposition to the keystone pipeline. >> reporter: clinton faced perhaps the toughest audience questions from a young sanders supporter. >> i've heard from quite a few people my age that they think you're dishonest. i'd like to hear from you, why do you think the enthusiasm isn't there. >> if you're new to politics, if it's the first time you've really paid attention, you go oh, my gosh, look at all of this. and you have to say to yourself, why are they throwing all of that? well, i'll tell you why. because i've been on the front lines of change and progress since i was your age. i have been fighting to give kids and women and the people who are left out and left behind a chance to make the most out of their own lives. >> reporter: clinton said she was touched and gratified by president obama's recent comments about her which many saw as an informal endorsement. sanders leaves the state this afternoon to campaign in

record. >> so we're getting down now to crunch time. this is crunch time, right? >> we're in the final sprint, 172 hours. >> reporter: that much donald trump and ted cruz agree on. >> wow. >> reporter: campaigning in new hampshire trump urged supporters, many of them newly engaged in the political process, to focus on voting. >> you have to bring it home. right? we have to have a mandate. we have to do well. we have to get big numbers. >> february 9th. get out and vote! >> reporter: the gop front-runner also railed against his top opponent, ted cruz, backed by more reliable caucusgoers. >> he's nervous. he should be. >> reporter: rolling through hits of his greatest cruz attacks. >> he's from canada. he didn't report that he has loans from goldman sachs. >> reporter: a midst a flurry of iowa advertising, cruz fired back with a new commercial hitting trump on an issue historically vital to iowa's social conservatives, abortion.

>> i'm pro-choice. >> reporter: in iowa, cruz is claiming a mantle of underdog, branding trump an establishment darling, one gop power brokers are trying to turn. >> trump is someone they can work with. trump will cut a deal and expand government spending, expand the debt. >> reporter: trump who frequently celebrates his book "the art of the deal" said monday cruz's inflexibility would doom his agenda. >> look, at a certain point you have to make deals. we can't have a guy who stands on the middle of the senate floor and every other senator thinks he's a whack job. >> reporter: on thursday, republicans will participate in their final televised before the iowa caucuses. trump may not be there. he's threatening a boycott if megyn kelly participates. fox isn't backing down. norah, i can tell you, being here in a cow barn, i've never felt closer to the particular part of this boycott campaign debate story.

>> we got it. >> yes, we did. >> well said, major. thank you so much. two anti-abortion activists are facing felony indictments in connection with an undercover investigation of planned parenthood. their secretly rebórded videos allegedly showed planned parenthood profiting from the sale of fetal tissue. the footage prompted an outcry and a houston grand jury investigation. the panel cleared planned parenthood and indicted the activists. cbs news legal expert rikki klieman is here. good morning. >> good morning. >> we've all been following this case. planned parenthood has been accused of illegally profiting from fetal tissue. and yet what does this grand jury do? >> does exactly the opposite of what was expected. you have here a republican governor, rick perry originally appointed this district attorney, the district attorney and the grand jury had the task of going after and investigating planned parenthood. instead, the grand jury, two months later, after considering all of the evidence, comes out

and indicts the people who were the pro life people who were the people who took the videos. so what do you have? do you have a runaway grand jury? we've heard that expression out in common, that it's a grand jury that says we're going our way or do you have a thoughtful two-month investigation? >> but the prosecutor said we presented all the evidence to the grand jury. this is what they came up with. why did they indict these two individuals who made these videos. >> what did they indict them for? >> i think that the charges are intriguing. what you have are two people, particularly david gliden has been going after planned parenthood for years. he is the person with his colleague, sandra merrick, who what they do according to texas law, let's remember this is texas law, there's a law called tampering with the government

record. what's the record? what you have here is a fake i.d. of a fake company that goes in and gets access. he's also indicted for a misdemeanor. >> but is there an exception for journalists? >> he says there is. >> does the law say there is? >> the law may say there is. we know journalists have been able to go in under cover. we also know there have been civil suits against journalists. his defense is, look, i used my first amendment right. i'm just like a journalist. >> interesting turn of events. >> i don't know any journalists that use fake i.d.s. >> they have gone in with hidden cameras. >> thank you. there's a dramatic new warning about the danger posed by one of the escapees in a southern california jail break. around orange county prosecutor is quoted as saying, they let hannibal lecter out.

we go to the orange county central jail with new charges as that manhunt intensifies. good morning. >> good morning. all three men are now facing federal felony count charges, for escaping prison. authorities believe there's a chance in the area and are considered armed and dangerous. we do want to warn you, some of the material you're going to see is graphic. >> we know somebody out there knows something. >> the orange county sheriff's department repeatedly asked the public for help monday. send sent a message to the vietnamese community. >> it is extremely important for them to reach out to us, let us know where they're at. they're extremely armed and dangerous. >> 20-year-old jonathan tieu is linked to a vietnamese gang. bac duong is also expected to have gang ties. 37-year-old nayeri is accused of

kidnapping and torture. in 2012 he, along with an accomplice tortured a man with fire. >> he poured bleach all over him and in the end he cut his penis off. >> i'm scared. >> people who live in the community near the jail are frightened. >> if these people are that bad, how did they get out of jail? >> he's incredibly violent. >> orange county prosecutor heather brown says nayari's trial is set for next month. >> the acts that he committed are nothing short of diabolical. to lose him to this at the last minute is unfallible. >> they were being held in a cell with 60 other inmates. they entered the building's plumbing tunnels. >> can you talk about the tools they used and how they obtained those tools. >> i'm not ready to discuss what they were at this point. >> they repelled down nearly five floors using a makeshift

rope made of linens. >> they could now face up to 15 years in jail for those new felony counts. investigators tell us they are now trying to figure out they got the tools and who might have helped them. just to clarify, they also say no one from their office has been suspended or put on leave. >> thank you. mcdonald's is tasting success once again. ahead, the most important meal of the day saved the company from slumping sales. we'll look at the

candidates were literally trying to tick off each other's supporters. >> it's tie here in iowa, which means a victory could mean trump's once improbable bid very hard to stop. the grand jury does exactly the opposite of what was expected and indicts the people who took the videos. >> all three men are facing federal charges. authorities believe they're still in the area and considered armed and dangerous. >> her physical injuries are well on the mend. as you're going to see, the emotional wounds are still very fresh. >> two of them came back and saw us and -- >> it's basically a giant ipad that lets you order your meals exactly as you'd like it. >> sausage mcmuffin with cheese and hash brown. you can throw in the pancakes, too, they're light and fluffy. i haven't had it in a while but it is really good. >> how many points is that on

weight watchers? >> 15. >> you already checked. >> yes, i did check. >> today's "eye opener at 8" apresented by prudential. i'm charlie rose with gayle king and norah o'donnell. the two top democratic presidential candidates are intensifying their battle for votes and votes in next week's iowa caucuses. that race is very close but a new poll this morning shows hillary clinton with a 14-point nationwide lead over bernie sanders. >> the poll also finds that democrats between 18 and 24 years old overwhelmingly go for bernie sanders. one young voter asked clinton at a town hall last night why her supporters are not more committed to her. >> it feels like there's a lot of young people like myself who are very passionate supporters of bernie sanders and i just don't see the same enthusiasm from younger people for you. in fact, i've heard from quite a few people my age that they think you're dishonest. but i'd like to hear from you on

why you feel the enthusiasm isn't there. >> well, i think it really depends on who you're seeing and talking to. i'm totally happy to see young people involved in any way. that's what we want. and we want to have a good primary to pick a nominee and then we want to have everybody join together to make sure we win in november. which after all, is the purpose of this whole campaign. you have to have somebody who is a proven db prov, proven fighte. somebody who has taken m on and won and kept going and will do that as president. that's why i hope you'll reconsider. >> all right. in new hampshire, a voter asked chris christie why he was campaigning instead of managing the storm cleanup in new jersey. the governor spent the weekend in his home state where there was significant flooding. >> it's already done. tell me why you think it isn't.

>> i have family calling me sending me videos, pictures. >> where? >> all over the state. >> all over the state. one county is flooded in the state. i don't know what you expect me to do. you want me to go down there with a mop. >> christie then offered to check personally with the woman's family and friends in new jersey. >> we're tracking two cities, very different recoveries this morning from the massive blizzard in washington, d.c., the federal government and schools are still closed three days after the storm. while in new york city, life has started to return to normal. both cities received similar amounts of snow. kris van cleave is in washington and david begnaud is in new york to show us why there's such a contrast in the two cities. let's start in new york. good morning. >> they're still working to clean the streets here in queens where we are this morning. residents are frustrated by the city's slow response, most

people doing one of these with a shovel. they've gotten 25 inches of snow in queens, the average for the year and they got it all at once. new york is a city that never sleeps. and barely flinches in a blizzard. before there was even a dusting, city officials tapped into the $77.5 million annual snow budget and deployed 579 salt spreaders. at the heart of the storm saturday, new york banned travel and shut down some trains but that didn't stop some new yorkers from finding creative ways to get around. by sunday, most main streets were clear and monday it was back to work with people ignoring the snow and each other as usual. >> i know other cities struggled and a lot of them are not blessed with the kind of public employees, the number and the quality and the highly trained public employees that we have. >> reporter: i think the struggle the mayor was talking

about here may have well been washington, d.c. kris van cleave, anything back to normal there yet? >> well, it depends on where you are. right here is not back to normal. federal workers are not working today. that's not normal. but it's a good thing they're not on the roads. those who are are finding it slow going because of snow removal process. and, look, there's a lot of snow on the ground here. d.c. officials say you have to keep in mind they haven't dealt with a storm that dumped this much snow in a single going since 1922. >> you look at manhattan got more snow than d.c. and they, in much quicker order, were back to schools in session, roads being cleared. is it an unfair comparison? >> it's an unfair comparison. >> reporter: these two cities couldn't be more different. with a population of 669,000, d.c. is smaller than the 8.5 million people who live in new york. it has a fraction of the big apple's cash. washington, d.c. has a budget of $6.2 million a year for snow

cleanup. 1/12 of what new york can spend. this weekend, the metro was close and people had to find their cars before they could start big digging them out. schools have been closed and novice sledders became capital ground hazards. >> are you all right? >> reporter: at least one d.c. lawn was clean and its resident politician back at work. >> mr. president, what did you think of snow-poolips? >> boston's mayor said he feels bad for the district and offered to send snowplows. there's pavement right here. you just can't get the car out because of the snow bank. in april we do get cherry blossoms, gayle. >> d.c. saying let's be clear, compare apples to apples. it's a very different situation.

some residents in a cliffside community in california are closer to losing their homes this morning. several apartment buildings are in danger of falling into the oceans below. the cliffs they sit on are being eaten away by waves from el nino. >> reporter: police hosted notices telling people they have to go. danger had become too great as the cliff started falling dramatically into the ocean. >> you have to get out. >> reporter: michelle montoya moved into two months ago to an apartment with an unparalleled ocean view. >> where are you going to go. >> i have no clue. >> reporter: the cliffs can rise more than 100 feet and the base is pounded by high surf, the bluff is undermined. that's why these big bolders

have been brought in. but when powerful winter storms hit, the cliffs take a beating. that left the buildings teetering on the edge. two of the apartment buildings have been sitting empty since 2010 when they were deemed dangerously uninhabitable. since then, four years of drought in california meant few storms until this winter when heavy rain returned. pacifica has seen this before. 1998 constant winter storms washed away cliffs, leaving several houses hanging on edge. one collapsed on to the beach below. others had to be torn down. he knew the building where he lived would one day meet the same fate. >> here it is. the old saying goes if you're not living on the edge you're taking up too much space. >> reporter: the order to evacuate the apartment building was criticized by the building's owner at a city council meeting last night. >> to throw all the residents and tennants out in a couple

hours is really unfair. it's very hard on them and i'm going to be filing an appeal on this decision made by the city. >> reporter: the city manager insisted the danger is real. >> we knew this day was going to come. we didn't know when. we were putting it off as long as possible, not an action we took lightly. >> reporter: earlier in the day, michael mchenry was anxious to move. he told the city council he's now homeless. >> how am i supposed to keep my job and eat in the process of this? this is unfair. >> reporter: it's a fate more pacif pacifica citizens could face. half of pacificas businesses are located there, too. john blackstone, pacifica, california. >> the city is right to warn them, they're right to worry about where they're going to go. >> where they're going to live and keep their jobs. >> how to survive.

looking teeth so orthodontists will never be out of business. . but were you surprised it's number one? >> these move around. it's really health care in general. this is the year of health care. so all of those health care jobs moved up over the health care jobs. dentist was near the top last year. so it's a horse race, but a minor one in the sense of competition. it really is a whole category of jobs that are moving forward. >> other than health care, what? >> technology. the health care jobs are dominant. 60% of the jobs on our list were health care related. technology is the big winner the last five years. it hasn't gone away. it's still there but health care has come up relatively speaking. computer science, information tech, all of those jobs that relate to the digital world. >> if you're a parent looking at this and you want to steer your child into a good paying job, what are one of the things you learn, science, right? >> science and math.

eat your broccoli. you have to do your math homework. that's one of the things that comes through every single job in the top 20 is science-related. you can't be an occupational therapist without a background in statistics and computers. we're not just looking at a job today. we're taking a look at a longer term horizon. it's not just a job. it's a career? when you do that, what stands out to you? let's go bath to math. they want you to think math and science is a good thing. >> well, it's important. it's the building block. you have to say it. it doesn't have to necessarily be calculus. but algebra 2 is critical. if you don't take it early in high school, you're in big trouble. every one of these jobs that you point to, you have to have that foundation, that's sort of a separate thing we talk about at u.s. news. >> i flunked algebra 2.

when you look ahead, what do you see? >> you see the jobs that aren't going to be there. one of the reasons these jobs endure is they're hands-on. they're people who need to work with the elderly, which is going to be a booming population. >> your best paying cities. >> the best paying cities are the most expensive cities. they relate to the technology. >> and the best paying jobs. >> you say san jose and san francisco. >> right. >> best paying jobs? >> surgeon is the best paying. anesthesiologist is number one, surgeon, dental surgeon. all of those are right up the top and next down would be the really sophisticated technology jobs. >> brian kelly, thank you so much. >> learn to code. >> right. super bowl ads that quench your thirst for entertainment. >> it was one of those commercials that had everything. it had a great music, sexy and

a great new pepsi can or what. and i think that's why people loved it so much. >> my favorite is a spot we did in 2003 for trident. >> now, then, would you recommend trident for your patients who choose gum? >> why didn't the fifth dentist recommend trident. >> noooo! >> it's a career-making move. it can introduce new talent. >> for the commercial i was pretty much just modeling and wanting to get my foot in the door for acting and tv, and so that was just like the big boom. during it i was wearing nude underwear and a nude bra. then at the end of the scene and i bite the burger, i'm in a

it interferes wu work. >> maybe it's time to quit wall street. >> i love my job. >> you hate your job. >> i lovmy job. >> now it's about fur five oscars. adam mckay. congratulations on the awards saturday. >> thank you. >> let's talk about this movie. it's built as a comedy. how could this be comedic. it's very serious issues. >> we've always kind of called it a tramedy. >> tragedy and comedy. >> yes. >> that makes more sense. >> it's also about group think, too, isn't it? >> yes. >> everybody has an idea. >> that was a scary moment to realize all these professionals, all these professionals that are math me tishens, even leaders, including all of us, i make movies, we completely missed this, and there was a sense that

america could do no wrong and i really think the center of the movie is why did we miss this? what was wrong with our popular consensual culture that we all missed this. >> you pitched yourself for this movie. why? >> it was simply i read the book and the story -- i read it in one night and i just thought i have not red anything like this where the characters were so compelling. it's about everything happening now. we're linking in strange original time and this book brought all that together and it was informative. >> wasn't it personal for you too? >> i did. i had a close relative who lost their house during the collapse. i had a bunch of friends who lost their jobs. i knew there was a housing bubble, issues with the bank, there wasn't enough oversight. but michael lewis's book lit me up as far as getting a human and informational perspective. >> you tried to do that with sub prime mortgages and synthetic ceos to explain them in a

humerus way to explain them to the public. >> that was kind of the big idea. i was an english major in college. i didn't study this stuff. i wanted to make sure when we communicated to the public there was a sense of humor to it. so we sort of looked at popular culture and celebrity culture and had the idea of, like, what would happen if every time kim kardashian were on cram she described the libor rate scandal. >> somebody in a bubble bath. >> margo robbie. >> margo robbie in a bubble bath. it came at poking fun at the celebrity culture and talking about it in a fun light way. we didn't feel it was heavy material. we thought it was exciting even though it's often portrayed as boring. >> didn't you feel you needed the green light? >> absolutely. the best thing about these actors. they're not just big names.

they're a great actors. you could haven't just big names. you had to have people who could transform in these characters. >> did brad produce this? >> yeah. he was a producer. so when he read the script, he read it and he was just reading it as a producer. so dee dee gardner and jeremy kleiner from plan b came back and said, we have some news, brad read the script. i thought he'd say he hates it. he wants to be in it. so i had him audition. no, no. >> what people say about you adam mckay is often the funniest guy in the room. >> comedians say that. >> comedians say that. >> my mother has said that. >> you iraqi heard it too. so you've got a funny gene. >> yeah. i came from comedy, second city. >> "saturday night live." >> yes, yes. so, yeah, i definitely like to joke around. in fact, one of the interesting things on the movie was i had to

watch my tone when we were doing it because there are some heartbreaking scenes in this movie and my instinct is to also keep a very playful set and there were times where i had to go silence on this one. >> you know, there's a lot of controversy this year about the oscars that there were no people of color nominated in the top categories. what are your thoughts about that, adam? you're in the huchblt. >> i think we work in the arts. we're writers, we're artists, we're directors. we should welcome these kinds of debates and i think it's a valid point. i was sad to see some people not recognized. if our filmmakers can't embrace this debate, i'm very sad. i was happy to see the academy make some systemic changes that will help with the future of it. but, yeah, i 100% support all the protests and debate about it. at the same time we've made movies protesting other issues. obviously our movie, the banks collapse disproportionately

affected can americans around the country. it's a tricky line and spotline is going for a very big target. at the end of the day, completely supported and i agree. there's a diversity issue in hollywood but i have faith our system will fix it. >> the question is when will they get it done and how. >> yeah. that is the question. if i become an academy member, which i'm not right now, i will be conscious of my voting patterns. >> congratulations. congratulations. >> thank you. >> big learning lesson. very well done. >> i appreciate it. >> "the big short" is still in theaters. >> you're watching "cbs this morning." we'll be right back.
