shining sea ♪ this morning's "eye opener" is presented by toyota. let's go places. ♪ and welcome to "cbs this morning." on this memorial day. i'm anthony mason with dana jacobson and vladimir dute. charlie, gayle and norah are off. president trump is back in washington after a nine-day foreign trip. he's now dealing with provocative action from north korea and new drama in the russia investigation. north korea fired a new anti-aircraft weapons system yesterday and this morning, it tested a short-range missile. >> and new reports over the weekend, focused on the president's son-in-law and senior adviser jared kushner. he reportedly held meetings during the presidential transition to set up a secret communications channel with the
7:04 am
kremlin. >> in a tweet yesterday the president claimed, quote, many of the leaks coming out of the white house are fab by cated lies made up by the fake news media. errol barn net is at the white house. >> president trump is standing by his son-in-law. in a statement to the "new york times" mr. trump said he has total confidence in jared kushner and calls him a very good person. but these latest revelations have some demanding increased scrutiny for kushner while administration officials say these newest allegations are being thrown out of proportion. >> i don't see any big issue here relative to jared. >> reporter: secretary of homeland security, john kelly, sees senior adviser jared kushner's alleged requests to communicate with the russians as standard practice. >> any time you can open lines of communication with anyone, whether they're good friends or not so good friends, is a smart thing to do. >> reporter: sources tell cbs news in december, kushner met
7:05 am
with russian ambassador sergey kislyak at trump tower. according to the "washington post" it was during that meeting kushner asked kislyak to set up back channel communications using equipment at the russian embassy which would have carried security risks for moscow and the trump team. >> they are not our friends. >> reporter: former director of national intelligence james clapper was unaware of the request. still russian interference was on his radar. >> my dashboard warning light was clearly on and i think that was the case with all of us in the intelligence community. >> reporter: the top democrat on the house intelligence committee believes kushner's status is in question. >> i do think there ought to be a review of his security clearance to find out whether he was truthful, whether he was candid. >> reporter: republican senator lindsey graham is questioning the back channel request, which was reportedly revealed through intercepted conversations between kislyak and moscow. >> i think it makes no sense that the russian ambassador would report back to moscow on a
7:06 am
channel that he most likely knows we're monitoring. the story line is suspicious. >> reporter: while the president was overseas cbs news has learned his white house communications staff has been working on a kind of restructuring in order to develop a separate rapid response team to address russia investigation matters. >> errol, thank you. german chancellor angela merkel is fueling a new reality. speaking at a campaign event yesterday merkel suggested europe can no longer count on the u.s. and britain as reliable allies. she said the european union needs to take its fate into its own hands. at last week's g7 summit leaders failed to convince president trump to commit to stay in the paris climate deal. the president says he'll announce his decision this week. north korea fired yet another ballistic missile overnight, part of an escalating series of tests. the newest missile was launched from the country's east coast that flew about 280 miles before
7:07 am
landing in the sea off the coast of japan. the white house says president trump had been briefed but has no other comment. ben tracy is in beijing with the rising tensions in the region. ben, good morning. >> good morning. this missile launch by north korea appears to be a short range ballistic scud missile and japan says it could have easily hit an airplane or ship in the area. so if anyone thought that pressure from the u.s. or china would have slowed down north korea's missile tests, it appears to be wishful thinking. north korea has now conducted nine missile launches this year, three in just the past three weeks. the latest comes after the country claimed its leader kim jong-un oversaw a successful test of a new anti-aircraft system this past weekend. japan was quick to condemn the new missile launch as was south korea, whose new president has said he wants better relations with north korea. despite international sanctions, north korea's capabilities
7:08 am
continue to grow. last week the country said it perfected a medium-range solid fuel missile it would start mass producing. earlier this month it tested what is believed to be its longest range missile yet, potentially capable of carrying a nuclear warhead but still not able to reach the united states. 2014 was the last time the u.s. tested its west coast missile defense system. which has only worked in about half of the trials. on tuesday, the u.s. military will attempt to shoot down an intercontinental ballistic missile for the first time. the trump administration has now sent two aircraft carriers to the korean peninsula. but u.s. defense secretary james mattis said on "face the nation" a military conflict with north korea would be catastrophic. >> the north korean regime has hundreds of artillery cannons and rocket launchrs within range of one of the most densely
7:09 am
populated cities on earth the capital of south korea. >> reporter: while north korea continues the missile tests it has not conducted a sixth nuclear test which many have expected. when we were in north korea last month i asked the vice foreign minister if they still plan to conduct that test and he said kim jong-un will do it when he sees fit. >> thanks, ben. with us from washington is susan page, "usa today's" washington bureau chief. good morning. >> good morning. >> let's start with north korea. if as you heard secretary mattis say, the military options would be catastrophic what options does the administration have here. >> we've seen president trump put a lot of faith and pressure on the chinese to act to rein in north korea. now clear how willing china is to do that. nor whether it would work. but that is seen as a more promising option than military action, which as we just heard, would put millions of south koreans at risk. >> the other big story this weekend, jared kushner and reports that he tried to set up the secret back channel with the
7:10 am
russians. we have heard the president defend at least his honor. what does this mean for kushner going forward? >> i think it raises serious problems for jared kushner. we see defense fight on the part of the white house of the president's son-in-law but outside experts describe this as an extraordinary thing to propose using russian secret equipment to communicate in a way that presumably was designed to keep u.s. intelligence agencies from knowing what was going on. i think we have not heard the end of the story and it becomes part of this cloud of investigation involving russia that continues to loom over the administration. >> susan, does the fact that the former national security adviser michael flynn was involved in the back channel negotiation, does that make it more problematic for the white house and for kushner? >> yes. and i think it does. we know that michael flynn has become a target, a subject of the fbi investigation and a congressional inquiries. we know he had contact that seems inappropriate with the russians, taking money and not
7:11 am
reporting it, he is at the center of this storm and the question is, is he the target or is he the source that will flip to tell us more about what was really going on in the trump administration and the trump campaign with regard to russia. >> susan, i want to ask you about these remarks german chancellor, angela merkel made she said we europeans must take our destiny in our own hands, the post-world war ii order is to some extent over. how significant is it in your view to hear the chancellor of germany say that? >> you know, anthony, we've been looking at this nine-day trip, the white house has portrayed it as being very successful, but i think with the benefit of some history, this will be the most significant development that comes out of the president's first foreign trips the deterioration in the architecture that has kept the peace largely the u.s./european alliance, nato, now we have the german chancellor saying that no longer -- they can no longer
7:12 am
rely on it, europe has to rely on itself. this is a fundamental shift and deterioration of the role of the united states and the american people when it comes to our traditional alliance. >> how much of this is also merkel trying to just speak to people she is trying to have re-elect her at this point? >> well, she is up for re-election, that is true, and all politics is local as we know. but i think that what she is saying is consistent with what we're hearing from the leaders of france and other leaders in europe, that they were shaken by what they heard and saw with president trump's visit on a variety of issues including russia and including also this paris climate accord. big decision on that coming up this week from the white house. >> susan page, thank you. >> thank you. british police made a new arrest overnight in connection with the deadly manchester bombing. two suspects were detained yesterday in raids in south manchester where bomber salman abedi was raised. 14 men are in custody. police released these surveillance images from abedi
7:13 am
from the night of the attack. he killed 22 people and injured dozens of others. authorities say he had returned to britain from libya just four days earlier. investigators were reportedly review how they dealt with warnings about abedi. an investigation under way into a deadly malfunction at new york city's fleet week festival. a knivy s.e.a.l. was killed after his canopy failed to open properly during a sky diving demonstration yesterday and he somehow separated from the parachute and landed in the hudson river. the parachute found in a nearby parking lot. anna werner is near liberty state park. anna, good morning. >> good morning. crowds were gathered here along the hudson river to watch the elite parachuting team the leap frogs make that jump above the river when they became witnesses to a tragedy. now investigators must try to determine how and why an expert jumper died. >> in the water.
7:14 am

7:15 am
warfare crewmen. the leap frogs dive from as i as 12,000 feet using smoke canisters, flags and multiman formation. >> considering i have a son in the military and for something to, you know, somebody's got to report that back to their family, it's horrible. >> reporter: the navy has not yet released that navy s.e.a.l.'s identity as they notify the next of kin. anthony. >> anna werner, so sad, thanks. a shooting rampage in mississippi took the lives of eight people, including a sheriff's deputy. deputy william dur was killed saturday after responding to what was a domestic disturbance call. the suspect william cory godbolt was arrested after an all-night manhunt. he spoke to a local reporter with "the clarion ledger" moments after he was handcuffed. other seven victims are reportedly members of godbolt'ses family. david is in mississippi at the home where the shootings began. david, good morning.
7:16 am
>> good morning. the deputy was told there was an unwanted guest who was here at this home. that guest turned out to be a family member. at some point it's believed the deputy told the man you got to go. and in the process of leaving, that man allegedly pulled a weapon from his back pocket, shot and killed the deputy, and three other women at this home. and then his arrest was caught on camera. >> i love my wife. i love my kids. they would not let me live and let live. >> reporter: officers tackled and arrested the alleged killer willy gold bolt following a killing spree. he said deputy dur was not his target. >> my pain wasn't for him. he was just there. >> reporter: the first shooting around 11:30 p.m. saturday at this home where godbolt's wife was staying with the couple's two children. the wife had left him three weeks ago. >> somebody called the officer. people that didn't live at the house. that's what they do. they intervene. they cost him his life.
7:17 am
i'm sorry. >> reporter: in addition to deputy dur police say godbolt killed three women and fled. over roughly the next six hours he allegedly killed four more people at two other homes in lincoln county, mississippi. once arrested he said he wanted the police to kill him. >> my intentions was to have you all kill me. i ran out of bullets. >> barbara says her grandson jordan blackwell was one of the victims. >> we got involved and my -- my grandson was lying on the floor. >> reporter: when he wasn't on duty deputy dur was a ventriloquist who had a knack for making people laugh. >> he was an amazing dad and husband. >> reporter: officer brady who worked side by side with dur many years made a promise to dur's widow. >> i told her we've got your back. if you ever need us, here we are. >> reporter: deputy dur is survived by his wife and a young
7:18 am
son. the alleged killer here did not shoot his own wife or his children even though they were all inside the home when the killing spree started and it's worth noting when this ended, we're told there was a homeowner who actually shot the suspect but then ended up being killed by that suspect. >> such a tragic story. david begnaud, thank you. >> severe thunderstorms could threaten 46 million people today from texas to new york. the biggest risk is across the carolinas and from south texas to the lower mississippi valley. in parts of missouri, powerful wind gusts over the weekend pushed over trees and knocked out power to thousands. two people were killed in branson, missouri, and one person missing after floodwaters swept away their car. >> sunday's indianapolis 500 was a battle from start to finish. with a lot of accidents in between. >> oh, my goodness what a huge crash. >> the scariest of the day involving scott dickson on lap 53 went airborne, hit a fence

♪ good morning to our viewers in the west. it's memorial day, monday, may 29th, 2017. welcome back to "cbs this morning." ahead we remember president john f. kennedy born 100 years ago today. bob schieffer looks at how kennedy's ground breaking use of media compares to our president. but first, here's today's "eye opener" at 8:00. >> the president is standing by his son-in-law. >> angela merkel suggested that europe can no longer count on the u.s. and britain as reliable allies. >> how significant is it to hear the chancellor of germany hear that? >> the nine day trip was
8:01 am
successful, but this is the most significant development that comes out of the president's first foreign trip. >> anyone thought that pressure from the u.s. or china would have slowed down the north korea missile test is wishful thinking. >> crowds are gathered here when they became witnesses to the tragedy. investigators must determine how and why an expert jumper died. >> sato became the first japanese winner of the indy 500. >> i have to admit why i came today -- i love ice cream. >> joe biden gave a commencement speech at corn nell university. >> the former vp was honored with his own flavor of ice cream called big, bad white and biden. >> it's really good. . >> everybody shows up for ice cream. >> yeah. is there such a thing as bad ice
8:02 am
cream? >> never heard of it. >> yeah. >> hi, there, i'm anthony mason. happy memorial day. charlie, norah, gayle are off. president trump is back at the white house this morning defending his son-in-law and senior adviser, jared kushner. reports this weekend claim kushner discussed creating secret back channel communications between the trump transition and russia during a december meeting. >> homeland security secretary john kelly says multiple lines of communication with another government are nothing alarming. >> it's both normal in my opinion and acceptable. any way that you can communicate with people particularly organizations that are maybe not particularly friendly to us is a good thing. >> the president said in a statement to "the new york times," quote, jared is doing a great job for the country. i have total confidence in him. u.s. backed iraqi forces are on a new offensive to recapture the last mosul neighborhood
8:03 am
under isis control. the terror group is using snipers and suicide car bombers in heavily civilian areas. the battle for the strong hold has lasted more than seven months. charlie d'agata is with the iraqi forces on the edge of the old city, covering what may by the final days of the fight. >> reporter: good morning. this as far as iraqi forces have been able to get towards the old city as they advance from the south on the other side of that mound. they have been taking sniper fire. now throughout the weekend, we have witnessed the u.s. and iraqi artillery, heavy weapons and mortars have been fired into the areas which came as a surprise to us because the u.n. estimates there's as many as 200,000 civilians that are still trapped inside the old city. and it's getting more difficult to pin point these isis targets as they move around these congested heavily densely populated areas. as they advance from the south, the north and the west, three
8:04 am
different iraqi forces closing in on the old city. they're making progress and they have made progress over the weekend but it's getting slowed as they reach these narrow streets and alleyways where they have to hunt down isis milita militants. we spoke to the medics nearby who are waiting for a surge of patients after the people who are in that old city after the collapsed buildings will start pouring out of that. that's the next thing we're expecting as the iraqi forces close in on this isis strong hold. there will be a flood of refugees in desperate need of help. for "cbs this morning," charlie d'agata, mosul, iraq. >> some excellent reporting there from charlie. thank you. 100 years ago our 35th president, john fitzgerald kennedy was born.
8:05 am
his inauguration address included a famous line that still resonates today. >> and so my fellow americans, ask not what your country can do for you. ask what you can do for your country. >> but kennedy was also the youngest president to leave office. he was shot to death less than three years after that speech. cbs news contributor bob schieffer covered the assassination. he's in washington with the legacy and how he mastered the megaphone of his age. >> good morning. >> reporter: good morning. you know with the youth and the glamour and the excitement that the kennedys brought to the white house, they turned the black and white movie of american politics into blazing technicolor. then with his tragic death, john kennedy became not just an icon but an almost mythical figure. to many, they became the america's royal family. jfk had some real accomplishments.
8:06 am
he created the peace corps. he committed america to go to the moon and we did. but most of all, he inspired young americans to public service. the one thing that had the most to do with shaping his presidency was a thing that got him elected -- television. he was our first television president. >> the candidates need no introduction. >> reporter: the nation had never seen a presidential debate until the letter known senator from massachusetts faced rich around nixon in 1960. historian robert dallek remembers kennedy as cool and presidential. not so the vice president. >> nixon was sweating. the makeup was running down his face. somebody else said he look -- it looked as if they had embalmed him before he had died and this gave kennedy a significant advantage. >> those who heard the debate on radio thought it a draw. some thought that nixon won. >> the price line has been held
8:07 am
very well within the united states. >> reporter: but those who watched on tv thought kennedy the clear winner. in what would be a very close election analysts said that the tv debate tipped the election to kennedy. kennedy became the first president to allow live coverage of his news conferences and he held an average of one every 16 days. >> that meeting should be properly prepared at a lower level and then we can have a -- >> he called it the 6:00 comedy hour. and the journalists loved him because he was witty. he was charming. engaging. and handsome. >> reporter: kennedy was briefly a newspaper man in his youth. he understood the power of the press and understood how to put himself and his family in the best light. >> for a nation that is afraid to let its people judge the truth and falls in the open market is a nation that's afraid of its people. >> reporter: through the new
8:08 am
medium, americans came to know kennedy in a more personal way than any of his predecessors. which made his tragic death that day in dallas all the more difficult to accept. as a nation we had never experienced anything like it. >> from dallas, texas, the flash apparently official. president kennedy died at 1 p.m. central standard time. >> for the first time an entire nation had watched the horrendous scenes unfold in realtime. those who saw it would never forget. >> the fact that kennedy was snatded -- was assassinated has contributed to this idea he's an immortal figure. he's frozen in our memories at the age of 46. >> reporter: jfk's presidency lasted just over 1,000 days. even so, americans still rate him among the top rank of american presidents. >> he has the kind of
8:09 am
charismatic hold on the public's imagination. and now we live in a time when people are very disillusioned with politics and with presidential leadership. and they look to the past that becomes a kind of life line. >> reporter: steven levingston sees a parallel in his mastery of television and president trump's use of twitter. >> so both of these men without maybe realizing it entirely rode the new media of their era into the white house. >> i think livingston makes an interesting point. i thought the founders were great writers when most people got their news by the written word. franklin roosevelt was the first to recognize the power of radio and kennedy was the absolute best at television and no doubt that president trump used twitter to great effect in the campaign. here's the difference.
8:10 am
i don't remember anyone telling kennedy you need to stop doing so much television. but everywhere i turn, i hear trump supporters saying if only he would stop those tweets. >> so bob, do you think he's become less effective with twitter now that he's in the white house? >> well, he is going to have to find something other than twitter to get this business about this investigation into what's going on to the russians resolved. this thing is going to dog him till the end of his days unless he presents some evidence, unless he cooperates with the special counsel. unless he gets it all out there on the table. until he does that, he can tweet till the cows come home and it's not going to make any difference. >> bob schieffer with perspective, we appreciate it. thank you. chip reid has a special look at the special keepsakes. >> in this huge warehouse in
