7:04 am
to get rid of terrorists. margaret brennan is traveling with the president in jerusalem. margaret, good morning. >> good morning. on this trip president trump is not expected to make good on his pledge to move the u.s. beamsy to jerusalem. a unilateral decision that could add to tensions here because this city is claimed by both israelis and palestinians and president trump wants to broker a peace deal between the two. after touching down in tel aviv, president trump was welcomed by nearly every israeli cabinet minister and prime minister benjamin netanyahu. he then headed to jerusalem. >> we're not only longtime friends, we are great allies and partners. we stand together always. >> reporter: to visit religious sites including the church of the holy sepulchre and the western wall. >> very happy to see you. >> reporter: the president's first foreign trip started in saudi arabia saturday, where he proposed a new partnership with the arab and muslim world. >> this is a battle between good and evil. >> reporter: in a keynote speech
7:05 am
sunday in front of leaders from more than 50 muslim majority countries the president urged them to fight terrorism at home. >> drive them out of your places of worship, drive them out of your communities, drive them out of your holy lands, and drive them out of this earth. >> reporter: president trump also stood side by side with the saudi king and egypt's leader for the grand opening of a high-tech center to fight extremist recruitment on-line. during the visit, mr. trump notably dropped his heated campaign rhetoric against islam. >> i think islam hates us. >> reporter: including his signature radical islamic terrorism line and a call to ban all muslims from entering the u.s. the saudi arabian royals warmly embraced president trump with honors they did not bestow on his predecessor. plastering posters of him throughout riyadh and projecting his face on the side of a hotel.
7:06 am
♪ the trip also melded saudi and american culture together, as country star toby keith performed, accompanied by an arabian flute player. the president and members of his cabinet also participated in a traditional sword dance. ♪ apart from those festivities the president made clear that he is prioritizing economic and security interests ahead of human rights. he lifted obama-era restrictions on certain weapon sales, inking a $110 billion arms deal with saudi arabia. charlie, he says that's to help counter the threat posed by iran. >> thanks, margaret brennan in jerusalem. donald trump is the sixth president to visit israel. richard nixon the first in 1974. jimmy carter, bill clinton, george w. bush and barack obama also traveled to the country as president. dan senor is co-founder of the foreign policy initiative. he's co-author of "start-up nation the story of israel's
7:07 am
economic miracle" and he planned mitt romney's trip to israel during the 2012 campaign. welcome. >> good to be with you guys. >> let's just talk about what exactly happened in saudi arabia. >> sure. >> first there is in the middle east is great sunni/shia split, and beyond speaking to these people who were there in saudi arabia, there's nothing he could have said to them that would have pleased them more than trying to isolate iran because it was a direct contra dix sln of what barack obama had been trying do. >> right. the centerpiece of much of president obama's foreign policy in the middle east for his eight years, was figuring out if there was a deal to be done with iran, iran could be a potential partner in the region. that had the effect in the eyes of the sunni gulf countries of which saudi arabia is the most powerful, that he was downgrading the relationships and they were deeply uneasy about this. for the president of the united states on his first trip abroad to come to riyadh and basically say, we are in this together, we are here to isolate iran, we're going to work with the saudi, the sunni countries, israel, and
7:08 am
announcing this big arms deal with saudi arabia, really sends a message about a tilt. you saw the iranian foreign minister in the last 24 hours tweet out sort of lashing out at what president trump had done in saudi arabia. it's a clear sign that the iranians are worried about the potential isolation which is -- >> and what he hopes saudi arabia and those other countries will help him with israel doing some deal with the palestinians. >> right. in other words, if israel is to feel that there's space to get some kind of deal done with the palestinians they want to know that it will also include some kind of normalization of relationships with the broader arab world and that has never come before and i think the trump administration is trying to push the sunni gulf states in that direction. >> he never mentioned the word radical islamic terrorism, something he mentioned often on the campaign. did that surprise you? >> no. look we've seen a number of cases where he says a lot of things on the campaign and rejigger for governing and he had to do that here. because he had secured some
7:09 am
pretty considerable concessions from the saudi, not just working together closely on iran which was an easy deal for the saudis to make, but in combatting radical terrorism, combatting the ideology behind it, combatting the funding behind it. there was one very significant step that was accomplished on this trip, they got the saudis to not just say we as a government will not support the indoctrination and the funding of terrorist activities around the world, we will bar citizens from doing it, sit skins will be held criminally liable which is a big development. >> the symbolism of the trip important as well, believed to be the first direct flight from riyadh to israel. what does president trump want or what will he get in this visit to snirl. >> -- to israel? >> it's the first time a president has gone this early to israel in the presidency. none have gone this early. obama and bush went during their second terms. i think that the president wants to send a message to israel, we have your back. you are not alone.
7:10 am
lock arms with us. this is the thinking of a national security team. lock arms with us. if he can get israel to lock arms with the united states and make them feel that bond is unbreakable, that we have your back, you can trust us, israel will be more comfortable making concessions, taking some risks for peace they otherwise would not have. >> he's also saying israel and the sunni arabs have the same enemy which is iran and we will help you there. >> absolutely. let's unify and isolate this together. just i know we have to go, i would say the sunni arab world and israel have been quietly working together over the last few years, this is a new development, quietly working together and i think the trump administration wants that to be sort of not held beneath the table but above the table, held very publicly. >> a new relationship. >> thank you. >> dan senor, thank you. iran's newly re-elected president spoke to reporters a short time ago. our elizabeth palmer asked hassan rouhani if he plans a military buildup after saudi arabia agreed to buy $110 billion in u.s. arms.
7:11 am
rouhani said the path to power is not buying weapons. as elizabeth reports from tehran, the new american rhetoric is bringing back old memories. good morning. >> good morning. iranians are waking up this morning to find themselves squarely back in the firing line of the white house. the view from here is that donald trump came to saudi arabia mainly as a sales rep for american arms manufacturers. one headline referring to this moment in the visit said, for $100 billion, trump dances to the saudi tune. on friday, iranians re-elected reformist president hassan rouhani over his hardline opponent and over the weekend jubilant young voters celebrated in the streets looking forward to fresh cooperation and expanded business ties with the west and the u.s. but one short paragraph in president trump's speech dashed their hopes. >> iran funds arms and trains
7:12 am
terrorists, militias and other extremist groups that spread destruction and chaos across the region. >> reporter: he went on to say, iran should be isolated. in response, iran's foreign minister javad zarif who worked with american negotiators to sign the nuclear deal, recalled the saudi role in 9/11 and then tweeted, iran, fresh from real elections, attacked by the president in that bastion of democracy and moderation. a mocking reference to saudi's absolute monarchy. there is one faction inside iran's complex power structure that may be celebrating today, the hardliners and the military, including iran's powerful revolutionary guard. closer ties with the west challenge their influence and control, whereas, an america that's not only allied with iran's arab enemies, but is arming them, too, fits perfectly with their narrative, that iran
7:13 am
has to be aggressive to defend itself. president trump joined the war of words that rages constantly in this region, that iranians are now waiting to see whether he actually backs it up with the muscle of new anti-iranian policy. charlie? >> elizabeth palmer in tehran, thanks. as the president is waging a war of words over terrorism, u.s. backed iraqi forces are on the front lines of that war. troops in mosul are closing in on the last neighborhood still under isis control. fighters are preparing for the final battle to retake control of the city. isis militants captured mosul in 2014. troy is in western mosul 300 feet from isis positions on the edge of the old city. >> reporter: good morning. this narrow street is now the front line against isis, iraqi forces closing in on three sides and on the other side of this isis stronghold is the river. isis fighters have two choices,
7:14 am
they can surrender or fight to the death because escape is not a possibility. we've seen for ourselves what this fight now entails. it's guerrilla war fair as we were led through buildings as we reached a high point where iraqi forces were trying to take aim at sniper fire. they would see the muzzle flair and then opened up with their machine guns in trying to take isis out and it was explained that isis tried to provide cover as fighters advance. this is what it's come to, a standoff as they're trading gunfire back and forth. even along this alleyway they've strung blankets up to stay out of the view of isis snipers. iraqi forces have made significant gains in the past few days, but now the fight is for the old city and nobody here is willing to predict how long that will take. for "cbs this morning," charlie dag ta, mosul, iraq. while the president is overseas the white house is
7:15 am
struggling with political problems at home. officials face new disclosures about fbi director james comey's firing. "the new york times" reports the president bragged about his decision to russian diplomats. the latest cbs news nation tracker poll shows 63% of americans disapprove of the president's handling of the fbi election probe. and 48% believe mr. trump has tried to interfere with the investigation of his campaign's ties to russia. nancy cordes is on capitol hill with the latest on that story. good morning to you. >> good morning. well senators will have a chance to ask james comey about his conversations with the president and the memos that he kept, now that he has agreed to testify before the senate intelligence committee. and it comes at an important time because the president's own recent statements about this shao have only made the story murkier. >> the intent of that conversation was to say, what i would like to do is move beyond all of the russia news. >> reporter: national security adviser h.r. mcmaster was in the
7:16 am
oval office but doesn't recall exactly what president trump said to russian officials. according to a transcript, leaked to the "new york times," president trump called the former fbi director james comey a real nut job, whose firing lessened great pressure on the president because of russia. mcmaster says mr. trump didn't mean it the way it sounds. >> it's very difficult to take a few lines, to take a paragraph out of what appear to be notes of that meeting, and to be able to see the full context of the conversation. >> reporter: but some lawmakers weren't swayed by that explanation. >> the fact is, he has been terminated, but the reason for the termination has really not been vetted out. >> reporter: congressional probes are broadening. the house intelligence committee is asking for documents and interview from former trump campaign communications adviser michael ka putto who worked in russia in the 1990s and with "the washington post" reporting
7:17 am
a current top trump adviser is considered a person of interest to the fbi some democrats have begun to suggest a white house coverup. >> so many lies, so many contradictions. >> reporter: the white house is trying to focus on the fantastic at hand and will be sending congress a budget tomorrow. cbs news has confirmed that that budget will include $800 billion worth of cuts to medicaid over the next ten years. we've also learned that several top white house officials, like reince priebus, and steve bannon, are leaving the president's foreign trip early, coming back home to washington, in part, norah, to make sure that budget rollout goes smoothly. >> thanks. ford stock trading higher after the company announced a new ceo. the automaker announced minutes ago that it removed chief executive mark fields in a management shakeup. ford is replacing him with jim hackett who ran the company's mobility unit. fields had led ford for nearly three years, his departure amid struggling sales and concern about plans for high-tech cars
7:18 am
of the future. cbs news business analyst joe schlessinger is here, good morning. >> good morning. >> why the shakeup. >> look at the stock price indicator. down about 40% since fields has taken over nearly three years ago. but then look at other metrics. profitability, down. sales, sales this year, down almost by 25%. and i think the biggest issue if your core business is down, and you're not innovating quickly enough you are going to be punished by not just the shareholders but also the board. >> was he quickly moving in terms of the places that tesla is? >> no. and i think that's the big issue around innovation. we see not just lagging say tesla, already in the market, but let's just look at google or even gm. it looked like ford was going to be able to produce an electric car by 2021. my gosh that's a long time from now. you see that not just in the internally but externally a lot of the shareholders saying what's going on. we need innovation quicker. >> i remember when mark fields
7:19 am
was sitting in the seat you were sitting in when he was here. what can you tell us about the new guy? >> he came in from a totally different business, steel case furniture. he's going to be focusing on the mobility ven nur. i just want to point out we're talking about ford as if it's a stumbling company. ford still sells a lot of cars and it is profitable. tesla sold 76,000 cars last year. ford sold 6.7 million. it's just not the right kind of cars. >> got it. still making a profit. >> absolutely profitable. >> thank you. jill. an nba player gets stranded in an airport after his passport is revoked. he's in the toyota green room to explain why he believes it was,,

being tested. and they could make it pass the test. >> and executives knew it was happening. >> certainly up to a certain level. we don't know how much further it went up. as you mentioned, there's an investigation into the ceo. >> what does this mean in terms of the their reputation? >> it certainly hurt their reputation. the sale ps the u.s. are kind of flat. they haven't collapsed. the biggest problem for volkswagen is they're taking away money they need to be spending on technology because there's a big shift coming into the market. >> at the end of the day dan -- jack. dan is the other guy. it didn't make the company money and the people involved, they didn't make money. >> they were desperate to get market shares in the united states. the way they thought they would

do that is sell diesels as a friendly technology, but they realized they could. make the cars compliant with the u.s. rules so they came up with a cheat. i think they probably met it as a short-term stopgap and then it bake a habit. >> you know what's funny? i grew up in germany for two years. my parents loved the volkswagen because it was a diesel car and they thought it was great. you said it will lead to 1, 00 premature deaths in europe. >> yeah. i think the figure may be higher. there was a study out last week. they put the number at 38,000 worldwide from excess diesel -- nitrogen oxide emissions. that's above what's actually allowed by law. >> how is this behavior different from other scandals look this? >> i think the biggest thing is money wasn't the motivation. if you look at the banking scandals, it was people who were

trying to make big bonuses to make money. this was about defending market share and meet the expectations of top management that was set for employees, that team paem who did h were trying to hang onto their jobs. >> how did you get only this story? >> i wasn't the guy. it was the head of the epa. >> you read this story and seemed interested. >> i started pursuing it with other "new york times" colleagues and was able to talk to people. >> you describe it wellet all corporate scandal stems in part from unrealistic targets coupled with draconian comments that failed to deliver. you set the environment. >> right. enron, more recently wells fargo. they all have that element in common. >> thank you. >> thank you for having me. >> congratulations. cbs correspondent vladimir duthiers. up next,s he message about changing the world.
