presented by toyota. let's go places. welcome to "cbs this morning." charlie rose is off. he'll be back soon. anthony mason joins us. >> happy international women's day. >> thank you. we weren't supposed to show up today, but norah and i are dedicated. we will be here for you. >> i'm grateful you're here. >> stand in solidarity. >> yes, we do. firefighters are trying to stop deadly wildfires burning out of control across several states. the governor of oklahoma declared a state of emergency in 22 counties last night. >> the fires have killed at least six people and scorched more than a billion acres. they're burning in parts of texas, kansas, colorado and oklahoma. four states there. david begnaud is near woodward, oklahoma where more on how the

wind is fueling the flames. >> reporter: the stench of ash is overwhelming, cold here in oklahoma. that means conditions are becoming more favorable for firefighters. temperatures are started to drop and the winds have begun to die down. we're about 20 to 25 miles from the fire line. i wanted to be here to give you the personal perspective. there's nothing left to come home to. if you drove through this rural area, you'd pass by homes that you didn't even know was here. this is rural, desolate, not a very populated area. the people who have lost everything in these areas make a living in the agricultural industry. as one woman said to me, we make the food that you enjoy and eat every day. the stories of what has happened is so personal. there was a 63-year-old lady who had a heart attack and died as she was trying to rescue her cattle as the flames approached her home. the massive fire scorched more than 700,000 acres. traditional ground fighting tactics are failing says drew daily with the oklahoma forestry

>> do you like to eat because this is where it comes from. this is the heart of it. this is the cattle that are in the grocery store. this is livelihood. this is people's life that's on fire. it's not just land. >> reporter: such a personal perspective there from joe lynn. in the four states where fires are burning, colorado, texas, oklahoma and kansas, conditions are either moderate to abnormally dry. that's what's fueling these fires. even though the temperatures have dropped and the winds are lighter, the fire threat remains high. >> david begnaud, thanks. the cia is saying next to nothing about a massive leak of thousands of alleged highly classified documents. others compare it to the security breaches engineered by edward snowden and chelsea manning. the wikileaks website dumped what it calls secret files

showing how the cia can hack into common electronic devices. >> the alleged targets include computers, smart phones and tvs from apple, google, samsung and others. even cars are potential targets. jeff pell gue jeff pegues has more. >> the cia would not comment on the authenticity of the documents. what's clear is the intelligence community is concerned about sensitive secrets being exposed. wikileaks confirms this is the largest leak of cia documents ever, allegedly showing the tools the agency uses to gain access to a number of everyday electronic devices. >> there are bad people in the world who have samsung tvs, too. so nsa develops tools, cia develops tools that we can use. >> reporter: last night on the late show with stephen colbert, former cia director michael hayden defended the programs.

up big chunks of material. >> reporter: earlier this year u.s. intelligence accused wikileaks of being a propaganda arm for the russian government after it released stolen hacked democratic party e-mails. >> wikileaks, i love wikileaks. >> reporter: then candidate donald trump praised the organization. the latest disclosures threaten the u.s. fight against terrorist groups like isis which have been using encrypted apps to communicate. morrell says after edward snowden released classified information in 2013, terrorists groups quickly adapted. >> i saw terrorist groups start communicting in a different way, in a way that didn't allow us to collect that intelligence. >> reporter: there is nothing in the document suggesting the cia was using the espionage tools against americans, can companies like microsoft and apple say they're looking into a report. in a statement overnight apple said the company is deeply committed to safeguarding the customers' privacy and security. >> thanks, jeff.

on capitol hill this morning house members will start debate on the republican plan to replace obamacare. president trump and speaker paul ryan already faced backlash from their own supporters, and democratic leaders are also lining up against the bill. nancy cordes is at the capital tracking the latest arguments. nancy, good morning to you. >> reporter: good morning. those debates are set to get under way at 7:30 pacific, but in a worrying sign for republican leaders, conservatives met for about two hours last night and afterwards some of them seemed even more opposed to the plan than they were before saying republicans are going to need to get democratic votes to pass it. >> it's a complicated process but actually it's very simple. it's called good health care. >> reporter: the entire white house from the president down went to work on tuesday on skeptical conservatives. vice president pence headed to capitol hill to meet with them one on one. >> we're certainly open to improvements and to recommendations in the legislative process. >> reporter: but it's not clear

the bill can be changed enough to satisfy some republicans who say the tax credits used to help people buy insurance amount to a new entitlement program. >> there is a way forward, but the current way i don't think is going to work. >> reporter: house speaker paul ryan argued the bill was crafted with input from gop members. >> we didn't jam it through to an unsuspected countries. >> reporter: today house committees will plow ahead even though they're missing key details like how much the plan will be cost and how much it will be funded. on that point a website for the bill says we are still discussing details. oregon's greg walden is one of the authors. >> you criticized democrats for years for pushing through obamacare before people had a chance to read it. aren't you doing the same thing? >> no. the bill went online for all of us to read.

>> reporter: democrats say lower income americans will be worse off. >> this is a dumpster fire of a bill. >> reporter: utah republican jason chaffetz argued those americans may just need to examine their priorities. >> maybe rather than getting that new iphone they just love and want to go spend hundreds of dollars, maybe they should invest in their own health care. they have to make those decisions themselves. >> we're talking about a lot of iphones here. according to an independent analysis some low income older americans stand to lose thousands of dollars a year under this plan compared to what they're getting now under obamacare. even, anthony, as wealthier americans stand to get a series of tax breaks. >> nancy, thanks. a new poll this morning looks at president trump's frequented twitter use. 59% say he should stop tweeting so much. 28% say it's a good way for him to communicate. the president tweeted this morning, quote, on international women's day, join me in honoring

the critical role of women here in america and around the world. he is not talking about the unsupported charge he made on twitter that former president obama ordered wire tapping of his campaign headquarters. major garrett is at the white house. major, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. fbi director james comey who tried unsuccessfully to persuade justice department leadership to reject the president's claims, talked about cyber security this morning in boston and did not address the controversy. yesterday he tried to laugh off his new confrontation with president trump. >> i should hit an issue that i know is on the minds of many, and that is controversial, so i should speak to it directly. i am a new york giants fan. >> reporter: the fbi director shrugged off the controversy. >> i want to thank the members. >> reporter: there was no commented from president trump on his startling claim that former president obama tapped his phones at trump tower during the election.

>> as i said now five times -- >> reporter: white house press secretary sean spicer appearing on camera before reporters for the first time in more than a week couldn't avoid the subject. spicer offered no evidence to back up his boss's claim. he said president trump had not act fbi director james comey whose office would have sought such a wire tam, whether it was true. the white house insisting the president had nothing to prove. the obligation it said was for the house and senate intelligence committees to investigate. >> they have the resources and clearances and staff to fully and thoroughly and comprehensively investigate this. >> reporter: the republican chairman of those committees described the evidence as thin or non-existent. >> i have not seen that evidence. >> we don't have anything that would send us in that direction. >> reporter: during his confirmation hearing, rod rosen stein nominated as deputy attorney general was equally skeptical. >> it happened in the nixon era,

there are questions about whether the president could wiretap without legal process. i don't have any reason to believe it's happened recently. i certainly hope it hasn't. >> reporter: it will now be included in a public hearing featuring testimony from current and former intelligence agency chiefs. the house cleanse committee will conduct its first hearing looking into russian interference in the 2016 election on march 20th. federal investigators are on the scene of a deadly crash between a freight train and a packed charter bus in mississippi. at least four people were killed when the train slammed into a bus. dozens more were hurt. many of those of the 49 people aboard were from a senior center in austin, texas. they were headed to a gulf coast casino. omar villafranca is in biloxi, mississippi, with the terrifying moments right before the crash. omar, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. witnesses say the bus actually got stuck on this railroad crossing behind me before the

52-car freight train slammed into it. you can see the destruction it left behind. there was a railroad crossing sign that was smashed over before the bus was pushed about 300 feet down the tracks. witnesses say there were still people trying to get off the bus with the train barreling down the tracks. >> emergency crews were on the scene pulling people from the wreckage less than five minutes after the collision. >> the train was honking and honking, but that bus, it looked like it bottomed out over that hill. when it bottomed out, it tried backing out just a little bit. you can see the train just -- it was gone. >> reporter: witnesses say the bus was stuck on the track for minutes before the crossing gates came down. shortly after that the train struck, pushing the bus about 300 feet along the tracktion before it finally came to a stop. >> multiple people all over the bus -- >> we need ambulances, headquarters, we're going to need some ambulances. >> reporter: this photo shows

how a driver pulled up beside the mangled bus allowing first responders to use it as a makeshift ladder. injured passengers spread out across the scene. several flown to hospitals, some with critical injuries. at least two victims had to be cut from the wreckage using the jaws of life. others were able to walk away from the crash. the passengers were from texas heading to the bill locks xi casino, less than a mile from the crash site. back home their friends are in shock. >> this is something you would never expect to happen. >> reporter: the ntsb will be at the crash site this morning to investigate. >> there was another accident right here at this same crossing two months ago. >> reporter: there have reportedly been 16 accidents at this particular railroad crossing since 1976. the latest one happened in january, and it involved a delivery truck, but the good news there, no one was injured. >> omar, thanks. sounds like they need to look at that crossing.

thank you very much. a new wave of threats against jewish institutions across the country is prompting new calls for government action. jewish community centers from alabama to new york to oregon were targeted yesterday along with two in canada. a jewish day school in shaurk was evacuated. authorities brought in bomb sniffing dogs but the building was clear. more than 100 threats made this year against jewish institutions. the senate is united in all ka for action. a letter signed by all 100 members of the senate urges the fbi, homeland security and the attorney general to do more. anti-defamation league offices in four states were also threatened. china says the united states could trigger a regional arms race with an aggressive response to north korean missile tests. north korea fired four missiles monday into the sea of japan. pyongyang says it was a drill for striking american bases in japan. in response, the trump administration moved up the deployment of a missile defense

system in south korea, angering beijing. secretary of state rex tillerson will travel to the region next week to meet with officials from china, japan and south korea. afghan officials say a deadly insurgent attack on a kabul military hospital is over. security forces blocked off the area near the u.s. embassy and fought the group for six hours inside the hospital. at least one attacker reportedly dressed like a doctor. the gunman killed more than 30 people. officials say all the attackers are dead. isis claimed responsibility. the hunt is on for poachers who boldly struck inside a very secure zoo. ahead, the investigation into a shocking crime that left a,,

new photos have surfaced showing donald trump holds his tie together with scotch tape. take a look at this photo. it's there. is that what he meant when he said he thought obama was taping him? >> we know tape comes in very handy for many things. >> i totally understand the use of tape on your clothes. welcome back to "cbs this morning.." president trump has a busy day ahead. he'll spend a lot of time on health care today. >> that include as long anticipated meeting. last month he suggested that cummings had canceled their plans due to fellow democrats.

cummings said that was wrong and said his office was trying to set up the meeting and so it will happen. here's a look at some of this morning's other big headline. the "washington post" says the trump administration is considering a proposal to pay for a border wall by cutting key security programs. coast guard funds would be reduced by 14%. money for tsa airport security and fema's disaster relief would be cut 11%. but i.c.e. immigration performance would rise by more than a third. customs and border protection would grow by 37%. al franken thinks jeff sessions committed perjury during his examination. he wants to know why he did not disclose that he spoke with the russian am bass tore. >> leahy asked him a specific question. did you have a conversation with anybody and he said no.

good morning. >> good morning. it's thought that this is a first and new low for poachers. endangering species that have found themselves in danger in places they should have been safe. his name was vince, a white rhino, and he was only 4 years old. investigators say he was shot three times in the head,s he horn probably sawed off with a chainsaw. attackers were determined. they forced open the main gate of the zoo and broke through at least two other security barriers without disturbing five ores who live on the grounds which is also secured with security cameras. but there are no cameras installed where the rhinos live. few ores were left unharmed. the zookeeper says the entire community is shocked. this is unimaginable. unfortunately this is done in africa and places which aren't clearly secured but not here in europe. it's believed to be the first

time poachers have struck a europea zoo in the search for a rhino horn valued in asia as an aftphrodisiac aphrodisiac. the white rhino is an endangered species with only 21,000 remaining in wild roming mainly in south africa and uganda. even prince william warns they could become extinct in our lifetime. >> investigators believe it could be as much as worth $40,000 if it reaches the black market. not as much as the rhino's life. >> thank you so much. heart breaking and disgusting at the same time. >> all that for $40,000. >> and a place where he's supposed to be safe and the fact that he's named vince makes it more personal. >> there are enough cameras everywhere they'll catch them. >> i hope you're right.

geologists are warning california is overdue for a catastrophic earthquake. it's supposed to hit along the san andreas fault north of los angeles. it could have 57.2 or higher magnitude. he's big. cbs news scientist michu kaku is a physics professor at new york city university. you said, i'm here with doom and gloom. let me tell you. i grew up and went to school for junior high and high. they've been saying iter year. >> i was born in california, ten miles from the san andreas fault living under the shadow of the big one. how we can quantify this. we now know that the san andreas fault is locked, loaded, and ready to rumble. we now realize that the people of los angeles are living on borrowed time.

we now know that by digging into the soil we can go down 1,002 years in the past looking at soil laid down hundreds of years ago and we find ten major earthquakes in the last thousand years. the difference in time is roughly 100 years on average. the last big one was 160 years ago. so according to one calculation, we're 60 years overdue for another big one. >> you're talking about great 1857 quake, right? >> that's right. it was so being it lick quest ie soil. we're talking about an quick ha lasts for minutes. also the u.s. geologic survey did an estimate of property

damage of what could happen if the 1857 earthquake happens today. the numbers are frightening. $257 billion of property damage. 50,000 people injured. five major skyscrapers toppled. 7.8 in this study. >> you're not sweet ps in life that you're giving. but it's important. people living in that area, what would you recommend them to do other than freak out? >> first of all, don't panic because the next one could happen -- >> don't panic. >> i think schools should have a special session to teach their kids what to do, where to go, how to communicate in the process. families should meet with everyone in family. to you have batteries, first aid kits, water, food. dwho you have contact with. to you have a radio. transistor radio.

good morning to our viewers in the west. it is wednesday, march 8th, 2017. welcome back to "cbs this morning." there is more real news ahead, including the obamacare replacement plan that would also defund planned parenthood. the organization ceo is here to explain the impact of losing nearly half a million dollars a year. first here's today's "eye opener" at 8:00. the stench of ash. >> conditions are becoming more favorable for firefighters. the cia would not comment. but the intelligence community is concerned about sensitive secrets being exposed. worrying sign for republican leaders. conservatives saying to get democratic votes to pass it. president trump's

accusations of wiretapping will now be included in a public hearing on march 20th. witnesses say that the bus actually got stuck on this railroad crossing before the 5 -car freight train slammed into it. we've been hearing about an earthquake coming in california for years. what make this is different? >> we now know that the san andreas fault is lock, loaded. people in los angeles are living on borrowed time. white house press secretary sean "sporty" spicer answered questions about the new health care bill. and even gave a demonstration. >> look at the size. this is the democrats. this is us. you can't get any clearer in terms of this is government, this is not. >> look, if shorter is better, why not a one-page plan that says "walk it off"? good morning to you. i'm gayle king with norah o'donnell and anthony mason.

charlie rose is off. but there's news to report. met charlie for tea last night, because that's so civilized. >> tea? >> for tea because i don't drink and he wasn't drinking and he was wearing my favorite color, yellow, so you know he looked good. he was looking good, feeling good and is coming back very soon. announcement very soon. >> tea, i like that. >> i like tea, too. another apparent leak of classified information is shaking up the intelligence community. wi can kileaks called it the biggest cia leak ever, thousands of documents revealing hacking secrets. wikileaks said it didn't publish the code that would let anyone use those tools. >> cia methods to break into cell phones, computers, smart tvs and cars. one document reveals how audio is recorded through a tv microphone. another shows how the agency can disguise attacks so they look like they come from a different country. wikileaks says the files came from a current or former u.s.

government contractor or hacker. the cia will not confirm if the files are authentic. congressional committees are meeting to debate a republican plan to replace the affordable care act. meetings began moments ago and are expected to continue late into tonight. the president is behind the proposal, but it has caused some divisions within the gop. >> one part of the proposed legislation would cut federal funding for any organization that provides abortions. exceptions include abortions after rape or incest or if the mother's life is in danger. the plan would defund planned parenthood if it continues to provide abortion services. ceo of planned parenthood joins us now. good morning. >> hi, norah it receives $500 million in federal funding. how is that money used? >> it's reimbursed for health care services. it's important that viewers know we're not in the federal budget. never have been. we work like hospitals and other

health care providers. what we get reimbursed for is not abortion. it's not allowed under the federal government. we're reimbursed for breast cancer screenings, pap smears, birth control and millions of folks come to us every single year. essentially what congress is saying is women in america, one in five of them, have been to planned parenthood, can no longer come to the health care provider of their choice. >> who is directly affected if you lose this money? >> mainly women who rely on planned parenthood for health care in parts of the midwest of the country. we're proud of the progress we've made as women, especially on national women's day. we're at an historic all-time low. we're at a 30-year low for unintended pregnancy in america. planned parenthood is part of that work and we feel it's time to invest in it and do more of it rather than cut off the largest national health care organization. better access to family

planning, sex education. under the affordable care act one of the things we fought for so hard was every woman that's insured, 55 million women now, have access to no-cost birth control. that means women are getting better access. they're able to plan their families and that is good for the american economy. it's good for american women. >> still, so many people think when you think of planned parenthood you think of abortion. yet as you point out only 3% of services offered involve abortion. do you ever think maybe we should let the abortion part of our practice go rather than risk losing all this money? >> that's sort of what i guess the president has said. we just feel it's really important, gayle, that women, 2.5 million women come to us every year for health care services. and they depend on high-quality, affordable care that includes family planning, cancer screenings, well visits. for many women we're their only doctor. and we also provide access to safe and legal abortion and won't turn our backs on american

women. >> if you lose this money, what will you do? >> planned parenthood has been around. we've been around 100 years and we'll be around 100 more. the question is what happens to these women. we work closely with community health centers, because they refer to us. so i was just in michigan. a woman who has a breast lump or needs birth control and can't get in to her community health center for a month or two months, they refer her to planned parenthood, because we can see her that day. women can't go without this care. that's why we feel so strongly about this. >> some people have called it or described it as a war on women. do you see it that way? >> definitely a war on women's health care. planned parenthood gets reimbursed for services, like any other hospital. yet we're the only organization that's been singled out by the congress. we are the only national women's health care provider. and we're extremely popular. we have support of more than 70% of the american people. we are a lot more popular than congress. i wish they would think about this, and think about the fact that women in this country need

high-quality, affordable care. and that's across the board. >> just to revisit that point again, you don't get a check for $500 million from the federal government. >> correct. >> you're not in the federal budget. these are medicaid reimbursements for people who go and receive services, not abortions. to that point, are there other hospitals that provide similar services who would also, under this new trump rule, also stop receiving funding for this care? >> nope. right now we're the only ones that are singled out. it's really a good point, norah. we do operate just like hospitals. but we provide abortions as well. >> this is a principle of the trump administration and new hhs secretary, shouldn't they deny all medicaid reimbursement to all hospitals and other providers who happen to provide abortion as well? >> we'll see what they say. we believe women should have access to all their health care, whether it's planned parenthood or other community health centers and hospitals. one thing that's important to recognize is having oe inine ii

our health centers are in under-served communities. women i met with, our patients, said where am i going to go for my birth control? >> how many women are treated at that facility? >> thousands. >> any conversation with the administration or gop leaders at this point? is there a dialogue? >> we have definitely communicated, repeatedly. we'll meet with anyone to talk about the important care that we provide. and, most importantly, the need that women in this country continue to have for high-quality, affordable care. >> and in the court of public opinion, 62% of the voters do not want federal funding cut from planned parenthood. >> that's exactly right. that's because we're a health care provider. >> thank you for coming cecilia. >> thank you. why teenagers are wired to behavior impulsively and why they take risk,,,,

stride more efficient. they plan to offer a modified version of the shoe to the general public in jeune. >> makes me want that shoe, i'll tell you that. ahead, brisk sales of ivanka's line. her sales rose 346% from january to february. two major retailers have dropped all or part of the line citing slow sales. the president's oldest daughter announced she would take a leave of absence from the business. two big sports stars are turning a new page in their retirement. rek jeter is a 14-time all-star. clutch hitting that earned him the nickname mr. november. and ted green's stellar career entered him into the ahh of fame. >> now these two superstars are

opportunities, what the characters were going to be like. >> i love the character because the dedication is jalen and the lead character's name is jalen, which you have a jalen in your life already, derek. tell us about it. >> i do. i have a young nephew. time is flying by. tim in some of his previous books named some of the characters after his children. >> you don't have children yet. >> i knew you were going to bring that up. >> i'm very excite thad you and hannah are having a baby, but i'll wait until the end of the segment to discuss. >> and the girl character in the book is going to be -- just kidding. >> because you're having a -- >> so what message did you want to get 'croacross from the book kids? >> it's a story about perseverance, kindness and loyalty and friendship. so there's all these kinds of visceral things in the story

that kids are going to -- you know, it's going to sink in. but the important thing for us is to entertain kids. so short chapters, lots of action. and then we take them into the world of the new york yankees. and so that's -- you know, derek's insight into that, we really for readers, we pulled back the curtain on that experience. >> you know what's interested. i have children and some of the books they're reading deal with complex social issues and this book does as well. jalen's immigrant father working long hours, working to make ends meet and at one point jalen is taunted and bullied. he was called mutt. why is that? >> he's a biracial child. >> what we tried to do is incorporate lessons through my parents, obviously my sister and i. we try to incorporate that into

the jeter children books. we try to do that with diverse characters and interesting stories. these are issues that kids are facing nowadays. it's front and center. you really can't shy away from it. >> and bullying. >> it makes me wonder if you were buddied, derek, or tim? >> i think everyone is bullied. honestly i think a lot of people bully themselves in a small way. you know, the thing about books is when kids read, they get smarter. they perform better in school. but most importantly, when kids read, they get a little kinder because they put themselves in someone else's shoes. so that's why i think it's important that our characters are a little different. >> but you have a baseball star who's in book and dart jeter and i wonder who wrote this parks. you're a baseball genius and derek jeter's pale green eyes

were warm. >> i told you i was bullied. i tried to stay out of it. >> but there's also lessons about the character saying i don't like to go to the park without a bat this my hand and i wondered if that applied to you, if you feel that. >> no. not at all. we talk -- wee speak about bullying and it's something we tackled in my foundation because it's a serious topic nowadays and what kids have to deal with. cyber bullying. >> it's a whole different ball game. >> when i was younger. it's important issues. like i say, we try to have the characters and tackle these issues in all of our children's books but tim did a tremendous job with history and story writing and story telling. >> 35 books you've done now. >> 35. when take got on it, said, listen, all the baseball, it's you. >> there's a 35-year-old baseball player kind of at the heart of story who's in a relationship with this boy who struggled to stay in the big

leagues and what you call the ejd of his life as you know it. but both of you have seemed to have made this transition out of sports. you've written 35 books and you're a lawyer. how hardtransition, would you say? >> i've said time and time again, it's hard to be unprepared. i started to figure my second life post baseball before i retired. >> and you're busy. >> i am busy and i'm going to get busier in a few months. very busy. but i prepared for it. >> are you as excited about the baby as i am? i'm so excited for you and hannah. >> gayle was the first one. >> i was so psyched and i said, gayle is a unisex name, do with that what you will, but the main girl character in the book, he name is kat, katarina. you'll like this, norah. a great talk show host, or

sports agent. >> like i said, we're going to throw your name in there. >> okay. >> we left it out. >> are you sending a message there too? >> in all of these books i have written in the middle grade genre -- this is the 19th and derek and i have more to do, but i always have a good strong girl character. not only for girl readers but for boy readers so that they see, you know, what is derek's perception and my perception of a girl, and it's strong. >> you also have good lessons. at one point you say you don't usually get what you want but if you stop and enjoy the good things that you do have you won't notice what you have right in front of you which i think is a really good message to send to everybody. >> what the important thing is there's so much rich messages in the story, but it's got to be fun. we've got to keep those kids turn pages with the action, with the -- you know, behind the

scenes. >> there's a reason why it's called baseball genius, isn't there. >> it's a good read. >> congratulations. it's really great to have you here. >> thank you, guys. >> and tim green. congratulations. baseball genius is on sale now. and look out for fair ball. the fourth book in jeter's best selling, t"the contract series." goes on sale april 13th. diane von furstenberg with the women that inspired her. she's in studio 57 to share how she celebrates women making a difference and the causes they're fighting for. >> there she is.,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

>> yes. on dvfawards.com. you can watch about it and read about it and vote. >> but gayle and i have been part of these awards before, and i think that's amazing is the women you choose to highlight. they're leaders in science and anti-bullying. >> yeah. they're not many dvfs. you like to have a wild variety. >> the people's award, one is about civic and one is about human trafficking and violence and domestic violence. so that is all these issues. i mean what is amazing is that i -- the more i go and the more i'm impressed by women, you know. it's about women who have the strength to fight, the courage to survive, and then the leadership to inspire. >> talk about an inspiration beyond diane. what do you

diane or diane. >> diane is my name. you say i'm turning 70 new year's eve and iful great about it. >> i did not say great. i said embracing it. >> there's a big difference. >> is there a difference between great and embracing it? >> if you embrace it, you end up feeling great about it. it took me a year to prepare myself. >> so at 69 you were getting ready? >> yes because i -- this is a new act. this is my third act. and my third act is about using my experience and my knowledge and my whatever to share it and to help. and i'm so inspired by women and mentoring and philanthropy. but mentoring is something that gives me so much joy and so much pleasure. >> everybody at the table gasped and thought, oh, my gosh,

congratulations. you look so good. there's a big turning point in your company because now you have a new designer. you're not involved in the day-to-day. is it hard to turn over it to someone else? ? what is his name? >> his name is jonathan sanders and he's an english designer. he's more than a designer. he's my first creative chief officer. he's more than that. he's really in charge of the brand. >> is it hard to let go of? >> no, no. i'm so happy. and he defends the brand more than i would defend it. he carries the flag. i feel blessed actually. >> you've said that you -- being a woman was always an advantage. you never felt there was a glass ceiling. >> well, my mother -- thanks to my mother, she said to be a woman it's a privilege, and with

men, they're so povo. >> povo is poor? >> yes. then i ran my own company. i djts have to go through the glass ceiling but i dlkts know that. i have to say tore for the first time ever i see sexism, and therefore i think that it is very important for women to show their strength because women are strong and it's important that we show our strength. >> you're one of the strongest women i know. >> oh. >> thank you for being here. >> that's true. >> to learn more about the dvf award, head to our website cbsnews.com. we will be right back. ,,,,,,,,,,
