and they are already calling for them to step down. >> eye opener is presented by toyota. lets go places. ♪ welcome to cbs this morning. the white house is strengthening its defense of president trump's wiretapping claim. most congressional leaders now believe that he was wrong. senate and leaders rejected mr. trump's allegation that president obama ordered surveillance of the campaign office in trump tower. there are house counter part and speaker paul ryan also say they have no, zero evidence. and white house press secretary doubled down yesterday, he says that more information is coming out and that the president will be vindicated. margaret brennan is at the white house today. first, let pe say, happy st. patrick's day to you. >> reporter: happy saint

patrick's day to you in new york, too. we will hear from the president today. he suggests he is right and those dismissing his claims are wrong. the president is likely to be asked about this at a press conference with german chancellor angela merkel today. she's considered the most powerful woman in the world. the press secretary sean spicer once again tried to defend the charge that mr. charge was wire tapped by president obama. he admitted there was no wire tapping but says there was some sort of surveillance of the president. >> we talked about wire tapping. he meant surveillance. >> but the chair and the vice chair of the senate committee say there was no evidence to support the charge. we see no allegations that trump up toer was the subject of

surveillance by any element of the united states government either before or after election day 2016. speaker paul ryan echoed their findings. >> we've seen no evidence of that. >> this comes a day after house intelligence committee leaders also found no evidence. >> i don't there was a tap of trump tower. >> today the president will meet with german chancellor angela merkel who was wire tapped by the national security agency during the obama administration. >> what she's done in germany is insane. >> their meeting could be tense. mr. trump was critical of angela merkel's immigration poll sichlts i don't know what happened to her. she was doing well. maybe she got power hungry. maybe she thought he was invincible. >> derek says that the two couldn't be any more different. >> whereas trump is flamboyant and shoots from the membership, she's reserved, call calculating and strategic.

he runs hot, she runs cold. >> reporter: the white house is dealing with white house from another ally, this time the uk. yesterday press secretary cited a press report that indicated the uk in wiretapping the trump campaign. in a rare statement british intelligence called it nonsense and that the allegations are utterly ridiculous and should be ignored. uk officials say that the white house has apologized. >> the conversation continues on that. i see the honor guard behind you. they're in place for angela merkel's visit. congress is rejects the president's budget. besides big cuts to agencies like the state department and epa, calls for eliminating the funds for the corporation of national broadcasters. a 13% cut for housing

development which could hurt programs like meals on meals. nancy cordes is on the hill. >> reporter: this morning takes a sledgehammer, not a scalpel to domestic programs and the state department leading democrats to call it cruel and many republican to call it a nonstarter. even republican leaders declined to endorse it. >> when a president submits a budget, that is the beginning of the pujt process. >> speaker rye onstuck to the obvious on thursday but the democrats were happy to weigh in. >> i can't see how this gujt will survive the right of day. >> saying this is a blueprint of mr. trump's priority. the proposal calls for a 10% increase in defense spending but would cut the state department by nearly 30%. >> do you think the senate could approve a budget that slashes state department funding by about a third in.

>> probably not. >> the budget would add 7% to the department of homeland security but eliminate the homeland security grant fram which would take close to $200 million from the new york police department. the new york city police commissioner tweeted last night, terrorism apparatus in the nation's top terror target hobbl hobbled. $47 million from cleanup and restoration programs for the waterways, like the great lakes. >> regarding the question of climate change, the president was fairly straightforward. we are not spending money on that anymore, that's a waste of your money. >> $3 million will be cut that help fund programs like the meals on wheels programs. the organization defended its service saying it serves meals to 2.4 million seniors each

year, including 500,000 veterans. >> we can't do that anymore. we can't spend money on programs just because they sound good. meals on wheels sounds great. >> in the end a presidential budget is a proposal because it is congress that sets funding level. it is rare to see a president's budget panned by members of his own party and many of whom worried that those cuts in the state department in particular would end up leading the u.s. into more conflicts over seas. nancy, thank you very much. our senior adviser, welcome, a lot to talk about. first the budget. the formal republican chairman of the house appropriation calling it careless and counterproductive. what's the point of that budget? >> first of all, congress is going to do its own budget. whatever the president sends to capitol hill, the congress is going to begin the process.

it is a political document to articulate his priorities. to put things in context, you are talking about a 1.35% shift from discretionary spending to defense spending. it's not massive. you have chris collins, the congressman from buffalo new york, the first to endorse donald trump saying wait a minute saying, wait a minute, my mother-in-law benefitted from meals on wheels. symbolically it's important. but at the end of the day, the bigger problem is if you're not going to reform entitlements like medicare and social security, these programs look like they're taking a proportionate hit. >> you've got to find it somewhere. the problem it seems to me is trump is doing things that hurt his own constituency. therefore in the end he's going

to move to protect them. >> trump won in a sense by tearing up traditional orthodox. he unlocked the electoral college in way that traditional republicans could not have done. his legislative agenda is basically a conventional conservative republican agenda. >> paul ryan and mitch mcconnell's agenda. he needs their agenda because he needed something on the shelf and this will be the basis for success in his first year, health care and tax reform if he gets them done. if he does not get it done, he has nothing to show for the first year. he cannot say these are not my ideas. it's all he has to work with and he need to show success or he and congressional republicans who are -- >> what will he do? >> the story does not get enough attention. he's working on healthcare reform every single day and talks to paul ryan every single die. i'm pretty sure he speak to mitch mcconnell every single day. he's twisting arms. if the health care vote was held

in the house, today it would be 15 to 20 votes short of passing. i think donald trump has the power and personal persuasion behind closed doors to twist arms and get the votes. he's telling his members if we do not pass tax reforms, we we don't want get tax reforms done than 2017 will be a wash. we have nothing to show for. how do you go back to your constituencies asking for reelection with nothing to show for it. that's persuasive, i think he will get the vote. >> on the interview with paul ryan, he was on "face the nation." this back and forth is all a process. at the end of the day the republicans will prevail. do you think what's happening despite all of this is going on now? >> yes, this reminds me of 1986 tax reform bill. this was the big comprehensive messy tax reform bill. obituaries are written about it a dozen time. every two months, it's dead, too

complex, the politics are too mezy and then it kept coming back to life. this thing is messy, i am not saying there is a zero percent chance it can fall apart. but it is far from over. we are talking about 15 to 20 house republicans need to be brought over. the president of the united states can say you republicans have been campaigning for the last seven years about repealing and replacing obamacare. every republican running for any office said they were against obamacare. now we have the house, the senate and the white house for the first time in a long time and it may be the only time for a long time. we're going to miss this opportunity. we're going to look like fools in front of the country if we can't fix this things when we're finally in control. >> what's the relationship with ryan and the president today? >> it is a complicated relationship. obviously ryan was not an early champion of trump's candidacy. it is a practical working relationship right now. here is the reality. trump realizes he needs ryan's policy smarts and the

legislative infrastructure ryan has built and mcconnell has built to get bills through congress. trump cannot do that on his own. ryan recognizes that trump can speak to a segment of the american political electorate that ryan has never been able to speak to before and potentially deliver support for the republicans. >> they need each other. >> they need each other and they know that. >> thank you very much dan. we are following developing story out of syria. the military denied that it bomb the mosque during prayers. at least 42 people died and dozens more were hurt. yesterday's attack hit a rebel village in northwestern syria. our david martin at the pentagon reports, a u.s. air strike targeted a building near a mosque. that mosque is still standing. hours later attacks were carried

out. syria launched missiles in respond, a missile defense system intercepted one of them. >> secretary of state rex tillerson visited the demilitarized zone between north and south korea this morning. a press conference tillerson says he will not rule out military action against the north and its nuclear program. >> the policy of strategic patience have ended. we are exploring a new range of diplomatics and security and all options are on the table. >> tillerson with meet china's president in beijing tomorrow. >> our next hour, we'll talk to james baker, taking a look at tillerson's trip and president trump's budget cuts and america's changing role in the world. russian companies paid president trump's former national security adviser before the election. retired general michael flynn accepted more than $33,000 for a

speech in 2015. he sat right next to vladimir putin at the event just months before flynn began on the campaign. in all flynn took more than $66,000 in fees and expenses from russian companies. a spokesman confirmed that flynn received the payments but denied any wrongdoing. democrats want the white house to reveal all of flynn's contact. a medical technician was carjacked while on duty. >> arroyo died last night after she was run over by her own stolen ambulance. the 44-year-old emt was the mother of five children. he's now in custody facing murder and other charges. a dramatic escape was caught on camera. they ran through steam and dodged red hot boulders as they rush for cover.

explosion by mount aetna, we actions on one of the people forced to run from the explosion. seth, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, we can really hear the rumbling now when you can see the steam rising from the top of this volcano. mount etna has been erupting for 500,000 years but no one was expecting this. >> it's like the stuff of hollywood movies. >> rebecca moral, a science correspondent for the bbc was shooting a story for the volcano and it exploded. >> you hear like a big bang as the explosion goes up and then you start to hear pop pop pop pop around you. and all of the time you're thinking, i hope a boulder doesn't hit me. i hope it doesn't smash into me.

>> her camerawoman rachel price caught the moment on tape and the panic fall over. >> go to your right. >> price shook the lava free, later the team tweeted a photo of the burned jacket. >> moral describes steam clouding their view as they took refuge in a snow vehicle. windows broken by rocks and inside there was the smell of burning clothing. >> mount etna had been put on a show in recent months to see the lava flow. >> what happened we think is that the lava encountered a source of buildup of snow and ice underneath. and the differential between the very very cold snow and ice and the incredibly hot magma caused the pressure to build up. >> reporter: incredibly everyone escaped alive. >> i can't believe we got away. i thought we were going to die. i can't believe the tourists got away too. it's a miracle that everyone

escaped. >> reporter: rebecca and her team were up here with an experienced good. i don't think he's seen anything like this. >> thank you, seth doane, you are sitting there and you cannot believe it can get to you so far back. >> all of the sudden it's raining down on you. >> hot hot embers. a cold snap is leaving georgia feeling anything but peachy these days. we are at one of the farms across the south where crops,,
