7:04 am
washington. d.c. police are handling the investigation and they're being helped, partnered with federal authorities, including the secret service. the motive of this man is unknown, but we do know that since donald trump became president, there have been security concerns at his properties not just here blocks from the white house, around the country and also around the world. we're awaiting more information from d.c. police. they'll be holding a press conference later this morning to update us on the investigation so far. there's more breaking news from the white house. president trump is telling people close to him that the u.s. will withdraw from the historic paris agreement on climate change. the president has also discussed renegotiating the plan to reduce greenhouse gas emissions with his senior staff. the president refused a request to endorse the deal on his trip to europe last week. he said he will be announcing his decision on the accord in the next few days. 195 countries signed the agreement.
7:05 am
they agreed to cut greenhouse gas emissions. president trump's twitter followers were puzzled over some of his newest messages. the first one sent late last night was unfinished. it read despite constant negative press covfefe. what? that tweet was later deleted. and then the president defeated this morning, who can figure out the true meaning of covfefe? enjoy! major garrett is at the white house. major, good morning. covfefe. >> reporter: good morning. meaning, i'm not sure what the meaning is. i'm still figuring out how to pronounce it. i'm going to go with corn cob, it's very simple and i understand that and can say it on live television. in all seriousness, the president's twitter handle this time cannot be blamed on his communications team, something he's been doing quite a bit here at the white house. he owns not only the unknown meaning, the mockery and the scrutiny that's coming with it. it's worth point out at a time when manchester, england,
7:06 am
baghdad, iraq, egypt, now afghanistan, have suffered through horrific terrorist attacks and there are ongoing questions about the conduct of jared kushner, senior white house advisor during the trump transition, it reminds all of us that it's important here to keep focused on the important as opposed to just the interesting. >> mr. kushner has volunteered to share with congress what he knows about these meetings. >> reporter: white house press secretary sean spicer suggested jared kushner's status as a person of interest in the fbi investigation into possible russian collusion with the trump campaign remains unknown. >> your question assumes a lot of facts that are not substantiated by anything other than anonymous sources. >> reporter: cbs news confirmed last week that kushner, the president's son-in-law, is part of the fbi probe. spicer would not discuss conversations between kushner and russian officials about establishing a back-channel system for communications. he also denied the president was involved. >> you're asking if he approves of an action that is not a
7:07 am
confirmed action. i'm not going to get into what the president did or did not discuss. >> reporter: on twitter the president declared russian officials must be laughing at the u.s. and how a lame excuse for why the democrats lost the election has taken over the fake news. >> ultimately the best messenger is the president himself. he's always proven that. >> reporter: fresh off the president's first overseas trip, the white house downplayed german chancellor angela merkel's suggestion that europe could no longer fully depend on the u.s. >> he has a lot of respect for her. >> reporter: but on twitter again the president spoke harshly of germany, citing a massive trade deficit and saying germany pays far less than they should on nato and military. spicer denied a rift beten the long-time allies. >> i think the relationship the president has had with merkel he would describe as fairly unbelievable. >> reporter: the president is back on twitter and more nimble than he was about midnight last night talking about carter page, a one-time foreign policy advisor to his campaign.
7:08 am
the president said the investigation is still a witch hunt and carter page should be allowed to testify to clear his name. charlie. >> thanks, major. sources tell cbs news the house intelligence committee now wants to speak with more than two dozen people in its investigation of russian election meddling. the list includes former trump campaign senior advisor boris epshteyn and president trump's personal attorney, michael cohen, who refuses to cooperate. also general michael flynn will hand over personal documents and business records under a senate intelligence committee subpoena. the pentagon says it successfully tested a missile defense system that could protect the united states from north korea. the military first fired a target missile yesterday from a remote island in the pacific. then it launched an interceptor missile from california to destroy it. video shows the interceptor launch. the ability to shoot down an intercontinental missile comes just days after the latest north korean missile test. david martin is at the pentagon.
7:09 am
david, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. since north korea has said it is finishing work on an intercontinental ballistic missile, this was an important demonstration that the u.s. has the capability at least under test conditions to shoot down an incoming icbm. the target, a missile with a trajectory and speed of an icbm, was launched from the pacific. minutes later, an interceptor missile blasted off from an air force base in california, maneuvering into the path of the incoming icbm traveling at roughly 4 miles per second. according to the pentagon's missile defense agency, the kill vehicle intercepted and destroyed the target in a direct collision. 36 interceptors are based in silos in california and alaska. they go on alert every time the u.s. expects another missile test by north korea. until now, the system had never been tested against a missile capable of threatening the u.s. homeland with a nuclear warhead.
7:10 am
this test which costs $244 million and nearly three years in the planning brings the overall success rate to 10 intercepts in 18 tries. a modest record even though test conditions allow time to move powerful raiders like this c-based x band radar into position. thomas karako is with the center for strategic and international studies. >> the most realistic test, the only true realistic test would be if north korea were to launch something at the united states. nobody wants that kind of realism. >> reporter: if it were the real thing with little or no warning, the u.s. would have to launch multiple interceptors against an incoming missile so if one missed the second or third might hit. >> and so in that sense you also kind of reduce the risk of any one particular interceptor failing and kind of increase the effectiveness, the likelihood that you're going to kill it. >> reporter: it's hard to think of the united states in an arms race with an impoverished country like north korea but that is essentially what's
7:11 am
happening. the u.s. missile defense is racing to keep ahead of north korean nuclear missiles. >> david, thank you. afghanistan's capital was thrown into chaos by one of its worst terror attacks in years. a huge car bomb killed at least 80 people and wounded at least 463 others. the explosion was just outside an area known for its intense security. a large number of western embassies are in that section of kabul, so is afghanistan's presidential palace. but officials say they do not know what the bomber's target was. debora patta is in london with the latest developments. >> reporter: today's blast not only resulted in massive casualties, it's also a significant security breaches athe suicide bomber managed to detonate the explosives at the checkpoint to the green zone, one of the most secure areas in the afghan capital. in a country that is so weary of war, it's hard to imagine things
7:12 am
deteriorating further. but today that happened when an explosion tore through the heart of the capital. and for the families of the dozens killed and the hundreds injured, this was the worst of days. the explosion was timed for maximum effect, rush hour traffic in kabul, when the roads are packed with early morning commuters. the location equally strategic, at the edge of one of the most highly secured areas of the capital, its diplomatic quarter. and the result, devastating. ambulances ferried the wounded, mostly civilians, to hospitals in the area, a never-ending line of horror. a wall street journal reporter was there. >> the glass shattered. i came down to check on the staff and our staff were all terrorized. >> reporter: both the taliban
7:13 am
and isis have been launching one bold attack after another in recent months. this despite the fact that the u.s. and its nato allies have been fighting alongside afghan troops for 16 years now. it's costing america more than $3 billion a month to keep just over 8,000 troops in afghanistan, a far cry from the about 100,000 troops of six years ago. the pentagon wants to reverse this. earlier this year america's top commander in afghanistan, john nicholson, told the senate armed forces committee that he needed thousands more troops. >> in your overall commander's assessment, are we winning or losing? >> mr. chairman, i believe we're in a stalemate. >> reporter: the taliban has denied any involvement in this attack and so far there has been no official claim of responsibility from any other extremist group. gayle. a fire onboard forced a jetblue flight to make an unexpected landing in michigan.
7:14 am

♪ good morning to our viewers in the west. it's wednesday, may 31st, 2017. welcome back to "cbs this morning." breaking news -- a man is arrested at the trump hotel in washington. police found guns and ammunition in his car. and nasa plans to fly closer to the sun than ever before. ahead, michio kaku on how the mission will help people on earth. but first, here is today's "eye opener" at 8:00. police in the capitol arrested a man near the trump hotel. >> president trump is telling people that the u.s. will withdraw from the paris climate change. >> there's a security breach in
8:01 am
the afghan cap demonstration that the u.s. has the capability to shoot down an incoming icbm. >> the delight 915 was headed to san francisco and smoke started to pour out of back pack. the pilot decided to divert. the police say that woods was not drunk, but his speech was slurred. >> cautions on the medication like vie doe din, you need to be cautious while driving. the first one read despite negative press covfefe who can figure it out? >> i'm going to go with summertime, it's corncob, i can understand that and i can say it on live television.
8:02 am
>> i'm charlie rose with gayle king and norah o'donnell. law enforcement officials say that a man arrested in washington in the trump hotel had an assault rifle and a glock handgun and ammunition inside his car. he is facing weapons charges. >> he was arrested this morning at the hotel just a few blocks from the white house. the suspect is from pennsylvania. washington police apparently were tipped off that the suspect was headed straight for the capital. >> sources tell cbs news the house intelligence committee wants to speak to more than two dozen people for the russian election meddling. one is stephen cohen and boris epstein. he is looking into the voluntary arrest. and cohen says that he'd provide information if the subpoena is issued. also, former national security adviser flynn has agreed to hand over business records and some personal documents requested in
8:03 am
the senate intelligence committee subpoenas. republican senator james langford of oklahoma is one of those investigating the meddling into the 2016 election. he joins us from oklahoma city. good morning. >> good morning. >> where is your investigation and who do you expect to call next? >> well, i won't say what we're calling next. we're pretty thorough, we have done about three dozen witnesses already. we'll continue to work through the process consistently. we do have documents as you just mentioned from michael flynn. we did the initial subpoena of the personal records, his attorneys pushed back on that. we subpoenaed the business records, we're getting those and getting the personal records as well. we'll go wherever the facts go. that's the key thing. wherever the facts go -- well, i would say we've got three key areas. obviously the most obvious one is what do the -- what did the russians do to interfere in our elections? the second is is there any
8:04 am
american involved in helping the russians in their meddling into the election and the third one deals with classified documents and the leaking of those classified documents. so the fbi is working on criminal probes. we're working on oversight of the fbi investigation. they're going through everything thoroughly. we also have policy decisions that we have to work through long term for the nation. so there's obviously a house investigation. senate investigation. fbi investigation. we decon flikt between all the three to make sure we're not stepping on each other. >> there are reports that jared kushner that he wanted to set up the back channel communications with russia. and there is some calls for his security clearance to be reviewed. what do you think about that? >> i think the security clearance has been reviewed. i think we'll work through the process to get to the rest of the facts on its. we're asking all of the same questions and we'll get direct information from him. >> do you think he should continue to have security
8:05 am
clearance back when hillary clinton -- you called for her security clearance to be are volked -- revoked while under investigation. >> that was different -- >> how so? >> dealing with classified documents that had been moved to someone's home versus the accusation to have a conversation with somebody during the transition time. >> do you see anything inappropriate about jared kushner trying to set up back channel communications with the russians? >> we're trying to find out more of why for that. again, the first question is, yes, it's entirely appropriate to be able to have communications with every government especially the larger governments like russia and china and others to have an ongoing communication. 's one thing to have -- it's win thing to have the back channels and another one for someone in the white house. >> should you be doing it before in fact your president and the senior adviser to the president who has already taken office? >> i don't think that's a
8:06 am
problem actually. you know, i would expect either white house woo -- they're trying to get the conversations involved. you don't want anyone calling someone the very first day on january the 20th, hi, my name is, we need to set up a system and process. the difference in this one is that it seems to be a back channel communications separate from normal communications. that's part of the question. but we should have ongoing communication, state department, white house, others with multiple entities. >> what bothers you the most about this in terms of what you have seen and what you have heard and what you have read? what is it is that bothers you? >> well, i would tell you there are several things that botherme. number one, the russians wanted to interfere in our elections and they seemed to have created a stir and chaos across the country. that was their initial mission, to destabilize our democracy like they worked to destabilize other democracies around the world.
8:07 am
if there is any american that is engaging with a foreign power to try to affect our elections that's a real problem. so as those accusations come up we have to clear them up. both for the sake of the president and the presidency. we have to get the facts out. right now there's so many unnamed sources and so many sources and so many places this creates instability and churn in the united states. we need to get this resolved and so for me, i'm glad that it's an independent counsel is working directly with the fbi. i was concerned there would be a separate independent counsel that would take much longer. you can recall the time during the reagan administration, that was six years of an independent council. let's keep moving on this, let's get the actual facts out and let's get it resolved. >> senator langford, thank you. a local tv anchor turned her mission to turn skin care problems into a billion dollar business. jamie curran,,,,

8:14 am
close encounter with the sun? >> we have been looking for life on mars. that's why we went to the moons of jupiter and saturn looking for evidence of life and oceans out there. so we've neglected the sun. but the sun controls space weather. the solar winds. which can damage our satellites. injure astronauts. even endanger a mission to mars. wipe out power plants on the earth. that's why we understand the sun. >> to follow-up up on gayle's question, why haven't we done that? >> well, skimming the surface of the sun by 4 million miles that means we'll whip around venus. whip around venus several times to get right in position so that we can make a close encounter with the sun. and the heat shields have to withstand temperatures of 2500, 2600 degrees fahrenheit. >> yeah. sometimes it's hard to get close to something very hot. >> that's what i was thinking.
8:15 am
to hoot to go -- too hot to go up there. how are they doing this? >> they have specially crafted heat shields so it can withstand the temperatures. when you get through the corona of the sun, that's important because that's where the coronal ejections are done. they could one day hit the earth. in 2012, we just missed one and it could have wiped out the communications on earth if it had hit. >> how long do you think this will take? >> the whole mission is six years. it will go around venus several times and whip around the sun several times. times, whip around the sun several times. so the mugs will last for about six years. >> okay, boys and girls who are watching this. we'll have a test at the end of the program, so be prepared. >> exciting stuff. michio kaku, always good to have you here. thaeg you so much. one woman's bet, her beauty

chipotle is warning customers to be on the lookout for credit card fraud. and the "washington post" reports germany is perplexed as president trump escalates its feud with berlin. it was after the g7 nato meetings. merkel said they could no longer rely on others, parentally meaning the united states. president trump said, quote, we have a massive trade deficit with germany. very bad. this will change. merkel tried to ease the dispute by saying transatlantic relations are of paramount importance. lionel is with the "financial times." good morning. >> good morning, charlie. >> let's begin with the report that president trump plans to withdraw from the paris agreement. what are the implications of that for the united states, for the world, and for europe? >> if president trump indeed is going to pull out of the paris accords, which, remember, this
8:33 am
treaty was ratified, it's been backed by the major countries including china and india as well as the europeans, this is a big move. this is america first in caps and it's not going to go down well amongst allies. they'll look at merck and say why are you pulling out when business big companies like exxon is backing the deal. >> will it be seen as abdicating leadership in the world? >> well, it's not just abdicating leadership. it's actually going unilateral and pulling yourself out when other countries, the big polluters, countries, particularly important, china, actually signed up. so why storm out of the tent? we don't get it. >> and india as well, one of the great polluter. idea that climate change is a u.s. threat to national security. >> climate change is still disputed among scientists but unbalanced. given the risk, you might say why take the risk of not trying to do something to tackle it.
8:34 am
remember, more than 20 years ago george bush refused to sign the kyoto accord. again, that accord did not include china. and skoonld, the senate was massively against more than 95 votes. this is not the case today. this was a big consensus behind paris. >> has this enhanced china's leadership? >> well, if you put it on top of the trans-pacific partnership which again president trump pulled out of, that again seeds ground to china and that's going to worry a lot of people. not just in europe but also in asia. >> i'm struck by your comment about america first in caps. trump officials have said america first does not mean america alone. what is the sense? >> it will be america alone because no one intends to pull out of the paris treaty. there may be even some questions about sanctions. we'll have to see that. because remember america signed
8:35 am
up to this deal. i think more important you have to look at the way mr. trump and many people in his administration look at foreign policy. it's a zero-sum game. it's purely transactional. we don't want to do anything trance lateral or anything that barack obama did. the problem with that, if you go purely bilateral, what kind of signal does that send to big players like russia and china if's just a zero-sum world. >> what about the tension eme e emerging between the united states and germany? >> i think hear i would say that president trump does have some important points. germany's current account surplus is way too high. it's got $50 billion, trade surplus for the united states. similarly germany is not committing enough money to the nato alliance. the way it's going about it, i would argue during a general election campaign is totally
8:36 am
counterproductive. >> you said you think the president, by the way he acted will unite europe. >> i think there's a great many commentators thought that last year when we had brexit and then donald trump's victory that this would be like a populous virus spreading throughout europe and you'd see the beginnings of the end of the european union. actually what's happened, it's not a virus. it's an antidote. europeans actually getting closer on the back of emmanuel macron's front. the more americans seem to be going alone, then you will see grtder european unioncy. we don't want to build europe against america but europe is forcing america to unify. >> all right. thank you, lionel barber. more to come. ing that you very much for joining us this morning. airlines may have overestimated american's desires to travel to cuba.
