much more generous until we get a look at that draft tomorrow. >> all right, nancy, thank you very much. president trump is signaling a shift in the u.s. approach to north korea. since the death of american college student otto warmbier, the president has apparently lost faith in china's ability to pressure the country. mr. trump says that china tried but failed to help curb north korea's nuclear program. margaret brennan is at the white house with more on this. margaret, good morning to you. >> reporter: good morning. president trump's national security advisers will meet today with top chinese officials here in washington. they'll press for ramped-up sanctions on north korea and threaten unilateral action if beijing doesn't comply. >> it's a total disgrace what happened tootto. that should ver, eve b allowed to happen. >>eporter: president trump said otto warmbier's life might have been saved if north korea released him sooner. suggesting that president obama may bear some blame for failing to secure his freedom. >> frankly if he were brought

home sooner, i think the result would have been a lot different. >> reporter: multiple obama administration officials told cbs news that north korea refused to engage with or allow the u.s. any access to warmbier. former obama aide ned price insisted warmbier had been a high priority. our efforts on his behalf never ceased, price said, even in the waning days of the administration. with kim jong-un still holding three americans and continuing missile tests, the trump administration has leaned on china for leverage. white house press secretary sean spicer claimed that strategy has shown some success. >> we've had, i think, positive movement on china over the past five months of this administration. we'll continue to work with them and others to put the appropriate pressure on north korea. >> reporter: yet 45 minutes later, president trump tweeted that the strategy had failed. while i greatly appreciate the efforts of president xi and china to help with north korea, he said, it has not worked out.

at least i know china tried. that admission indicates relations could turn contentious yet stop short of a return to president trump's hard-line position from the campaign trail. >> what i would do very simply is say, china, this is your baby, this is your problem, you solve the problem. >> reporter: and next week, president trump will meet with the new south korean president at the white house. he revealed to norah o'donnell his hope to negotiate directly with north koa. >> if we achieve that, then i believe we will be able to sit down and talk with the north koreans to achieve complete dismantlement and i hope that president trump agrees with my view. >> reporter: now, china does favor direct talks with north korea to negotiate a peace treaty, but u.s. officials fear that still won't eliminate the nuclear threat posed by north korea. president trump appears to be giving china one last try to fix it. >> all right, margaret, got it. thank you very much. buckingham palace has just

while taking, you may bruise more easily, or take longer for bleeding to stop. it may increase your risk of bleeding if you take certain medicines. xarelto® can cause serious, and in rare cases, fatal bleeding. get help right away for unexpected bleeding, unusual bruising, or tingling. if you've had spinal anesthesia, watch for back pain or any nerve or muscle-related signs or symptoms. do not take xarelto® if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. tell your doctor before all planned medical or dental procedures... ...and before starting xarelto®-about any conditions, such as kidney, liver, or bleeding problems. it's important to learn all you can... ...to help protect yourself from a stroke. talk to your doctor about xarelto®. there's more to know™. so we got our new he washing machine but it took forever turns out it wasn't the machine, it was our detergent. so we switched to tide turbo clean. now we get way cleaner clothes way faster he turbo clean. 6x the cleaning power in 1/2 the time

with of the most successful start-ups in recent memory. >> karen handel won the special election comfortably in what was the most expensive house race in history. >> some republican senators are starting to say this level of secrecy is unaushl ausual and uncomfortable. >> president trump's national security advisers will meet today with top chinese officials in washington. they'll press for ramped-up sanctions on north korea. >> we are in the eclipse's path all right. look at this. they even paint adeleine along where the ellipse will cross town. >> never seen one. >> i haven't either. >> because there ant hasn't been one in 100 years. >> maybe that's why we haven't seen it. >> yesterday the u.s. experienced a series of internet outages. all across the u.s. yeah. things got so bad we momentarily surpassed china in productivity. we actually got something done. >> this morning's "eye opener" at 8:00 is presented by progressive.

i'm charlie rose with gayle king and jeff glor. norah o'donnell is on her way back from south korea. tropical storm cindy is taking aim at the gulf coast with flooding rains and lashing winds. the dangerous storm is expected to make landfall early tomorrow near the texas/louisiana border. >> tropical storm warnings are now in effect from houston to eastern alabama. flashflood warnings and watches extend even farther. david begnaud is in new orleans where the storm's impact is already being felt. david, good morning. >> reporter: gayle, good morning. so the storm surge along lake pontchartrain is already causing flooding. this storm is moving a little faster than originally expected but the winds are also faster than originally thought. here's why. you're at 60 miles per hour, originally thought it would be somewhere around 45-mile-per-hour winds and the storm stalled last night and stayed stalled for quite a while. now it's starting to move. they're looking at the projected path towards southeast texas,

maybe houston, gavp ston, or southwest louisiana. but the national weather service has made it clear forget about that cone, that path, and look toward the east, because some of the most severe rains could fall along the mississippi gulf coast, the alabama gulf coast, and into florida. already the governor of alabama has declared a state of emergency. had flashflood warnings over the last 12 hours in the mississippi area. this storm will not be a major wind event. it will be about rain and flooding and flashflooding. jeff, that could be deadly. that's the risk here. >> david, thank you very much. senate majority leader mitch mcconnell says a draft of the republican health care bill should be released tomorrow. a group of 13 gop senators has been working on the bill behind closed doors. democrats and some republicans have criticized the secrecy. utah republican mike lee, who is part of th said yesterday he had not seen the bill and the process has been frustrating. >> even though we thought we were in charge of writing a bill

within this working group. it's apparently written by a small handful of staffers by members of the senate. if you're fwrurustrated i share your frustration. >> mitch mcconnell said senators will have time to review the bill before the vote. republicans are celebrating two big special election victories this morning. in georgia, karen handel won nearly 52% of the vote to defeat democrat jon ossoff. that race was wildly seen as a referendum on the trump presidency and it was the most expensive house race in history. president trump congratulated handel yesterday in a tweet saying "fantastic job, we're all very proud of you." in south carolina, republican ralph norman won a race to replace republican mick mulvaney. with those victories rublica have won all four house special elections for appointees to the trump administration. >> cbs news contributor ed o'keefe is a congressional reporter for "the washington post."

good morning. >> good to see you guys. >> what are the implications of all this? >> look, these were all republican held seats and republicans won them so status quo maintained, but fact they had to spend tens of millions of dollars to defend them is a sign going into next year. >> but also the democrats spent even more in the georgia district. >> yeah, and they themselves i think -- we talk about republicans being in trouble with an unpopular president, i think democrats really now have to sit back and really discuss how it is that they campaign into next year. >> one thing they say is they have to run on something other an anti-trump, a progressive message. >> i think it's pass naturesing. you look at the polling you guys put out yesterday. where people were asked are democrats doing enough or not enough to oppose the president. 32% say democrats aren't doing enough, 32% say they're doing the right amount, 31% say they're doing too much. so it's a three-way split. you look at among democrats there's a 44-45 split there, not enough or the right amount. so the democrats still don't quite know what is the correct cocktail, if you will, of message that they need to be

putting together. i talked to them late last night saying we have to come up with our own agenda but hit the president as hard as we can. ossoff perhaps didn't do enough of that and may have compelled more people to turn out if they had. they don't know at this point. >> indication of things to come in 2018? >> absolutely. we're going to be up late that night, i think. if you think about it, tens of millions poured into these special elections and republicans barely got by. even that south carolina race, it was a single-digit win for a republican in a place it shouldn't have been. th're not going to have that much money to defend in dozens of competitive districts. could be a real scramble. >> karen handel won a little more comfortably than some people thought. how much of this is republican voters saying, listen, we're not necessarily that concerned about the russia investigation and not concerned about the inaction in congress and the fact that not much has happened and talking about tax reform, that we talked the health care bill. the health care bill has not been finalized either. >> yeah. that's the important thing to

remember here. this was a district that's been held for 40 years by republicans. there's more of them there. and for whatever reason they felt compelled to turn out. this time they didn't turn out in the first round, perhaps because -- as you said, they understood. we've got to support the party. demonstrate that we're with the president and do what we can to hold the seat. >> although health care bill from republicans is coming out and fashion by a few people in secrecy. >> right. really just one person. >> mitch mcconnell. >> yeah. >> does it have a chance? >> well, look, mcconnell wouldn't be sending the senate on a glide path to have a bill on the floor next week if he didn't think it was going to pass. all he'll need to do is find 50 of his colleagues plus the vice president to pass it. that's a messy way to do it. but passing a bill is passing a bill. and this sort of disciplined focus of keeping it secret until the last second is something they criticized for the last eight years but works and as senate leader he knows that. he can be this focused, disciplinary guy and just pop it at the last second and if there's enough in there that people like, all this chatter about it being secret won't matter when they realize that there's things in there --

>> that sort of leads to my next question because the secrecy seems to be ticking a lot of people off. but that doesn't seem -- as long as it gets the result that t want, you're saying that doesn't matter. >> by this time next week they won't be worried about it. >> nobody knows the senate like mitch mcconnell. >> exactly. >> we think it's going to make more people happy, the question will be cost. >> right. not only cost but, you know, do my premiums come down, and how many tens of millions of people would lose their coverage. their goal is to get lower than 23 million. democrats will turn around and say, well, even if a few 15, 16, 17 million people lose their health care, that's unacceptable, but the goal is to basically produce a diet version of what the house did. >> so, do democrats have any leverage ed? >> all they can do is show down the train. that's all essentially democrats are good for these days on capitol hill, especially in the senate. they can yell and scream and produce facebook live videos running around the capitol, but that's about it. >> thank you, ed. >> good to see you guys. the rapidly growing trend in the food business is for meal

blue apron this week began marketing its initial public offering. amazon is buying whole foods. derek thompson is aenior editor at the atlantic. good to see yo >> good to see you. >> this is big business. why? >> it is interesting. for a long time, there wasn't innovation in food. for decades, you went to a grocery store or restaurant. that's it. maybe order pizza for delivery. now, we're in a golden age of food innovation right now. people are realizing that you can take the same principles of ecommerce that worked for books, for clothes and use them to deliver food to people. it's created this movement. you have the biggest companies in the world. nestle, the biggest food company in the world, investing in this revolution. >> what is the key to it? >> one of the keys is vooe convenience. people want to cook but don't have time or the wherewithal to go to whole foods and buy this stuff. they order a meal kit that brings it to them. it continues this long, historical line of convenience. with books, 1990s, people said,

who wants to buy books online? bookstore it is where it is at. we want to buy books online. >> now taking on whole foods. what does it say to you? >> i think amazon wants to take itself in whole foods and put whole foods in amazon boxes. that is to say, amazon wants to get into a brick and more torre retail business. they want to use the stores to experiment with how people move around a store, buy the stuff, bundle items together. they also maybe want to turn whole foods into a delivery service itself. so you're buying a book, some clothes, you can maybe order tomatoes, as well. >> what whole foods has is real estate locations. >> great locations in urban and suburban centers. even if whole foods didn't sell food, amazon could use the stores, the footprint as warehousing, to get its merchandise as close to consumers as possle. >> realtors say, if there is a

whole foods in the neighborhood, you're in a good location. let's talk about the meal kits. the statistics show that most people give it up within a year. they order it and then don't stick with it. how sustainable is it? >> this is the 10 billion question. does the effort it take to market the kits cost so much that it is no way the companies will make money? the chipotles, sweet greens, fast casual locations have grown 9% over the last year. enormous boom. same-store sales are down 2%. so you have this enormous abundance of food options but, as a result, no individual store is doing well. the same could happen for meal kits. so much competition, that each company individually struggles. >> i tried one of these for the first time last year. >> and? >> i messed it up but it was better than it would have been if i started from scratch, right? >> right. >> i guess that's -- >> any improvement is -- >> glass half full. >> would you do it again, jeff?

>> when bears get into unnatural food sources it's bad for bears and bad for people. >> reporter: the eight resident grizzlies were brought here because, like these bears, they got too comfortable foraging for human food. >> once they have even maybe just one interaction where they decide that a food was easy and seemed safe, then they're going to go back to that food source. >> reporter: problem bears are often euthanized or relocated. here their unnatural skills are put to work. this grizzly named spirit just loves to crack open coolers, while 600-pound coram uses the tried-and-true cpr method to pop a garbage can. for about 500 bucks, companies can find out if their containers can stand the test to the delight of those who come to bear witness. >> he just kept managing to move th thinground until he just cracked it right open. >> reporter: and now you know

openings in the u.s. the latest labor statistics show the number of job openings rose to more than 6 million in april, an all-time high. that's up more than 7% from the same time a year ago. linkedin ceo jeff wiener is with us at the table to discuss the numbers. hello, jeff wiener. before we do that, i know you heard the overnight news about travis kalanick officially resigning. how big a deal is it and what message does it send? last week we heard he was going to take a temporary leave of absence and now he stepped down. this is huge. >> yeah. it's a big deal for a number of reasons, not the least of which the share that uber occupies in terms of consumer, transportation, infrastructure. this is travis' company. he created it. he's the controlling shareholder. my understanding is he'll still remain on the board and it will be interesting to see how they handle the transition from this point going forward. >> it appeared it happened, the resignation, because of pressure from the investors that he brought in. >> yeah. that's my understanding as well.

and i think it speaks to some of the challenges the company has been experiencing, the fact that the investors felt like that was the necessary step in order to ensu the success of the company going forward. >> there's an opening, if there was ever a time for compassionate leadership, with which you are known for, jeff wiener. >> i'm very happy in my current role and i wish the new ceo the best of luck. >> what do you think he needs to do? >> a few different things given the situation that they're going to be walking into. one, recognizing that with travis on the board, the founder of a company casts a very long shadow regardless of who that person is. establishing the right relationship with travis is going to be essential. second, you could argue changing culture is the single most difficult thing you could do to a company or operation. and so patient, managing expectations and understanding how big that challenge is. and third, is an old friend once told me trust equals consistency over time. and it's a simple formula for complexion and dynamic and i

think it's really important that whoever steps into that situation is going to be very consistent with what it is that they're trying to accomplish and be patient. >> last night jack mau said trust, trust, trust. has to exist. let's turn to the jobs and the questions many people would like to ask you. where are they? >> so in terms of some of the cities with the fastest growing influx of talent, which i think to some extent is a reflection or a proxy for where those job opportunities are, we're seeing a lot of growth and a lot of movement in cities like seattle, portland, denver, austin, charlotte. >> all tech centers. >> increasingly tech centers. very high quality of living. and by comparison with an area like silicon valley, lower cost of living, although that is changing as you see more and more people going to these cities. >> but 6 million openings, jeff. all-time high. why is that now? >> yeah. it's really interesting to see. 6 million available job, gayle, exactly to your point.

that's the highest number they've seen on record since tracking the data like this specifically. you know, there's a lot of debate back and forth among economists. is there a skill gap, is there not a skill gap. when you think about it in the aggregate across the united states, you can debate it. but unquestionably at the local level there are skills gaps. there are cities that are hiring, they're hiring quickly. they've got fast-growing industries and they don't have the talent with the requisite skills to take on those roles, and so what linkedin would like to do is leverage all this extraordinary data we've been able to collect by virtue of having 5 million people join the site. we have over 10 million jobs there now listed on the site, 50,000 standardized skills. we have the information to match talent to jobs in a way that was never possible before. so we're really going to -- >> try to put together the job with the person. >> that's the ultimate goal is to make sure that each individual member has information about where those jobs are, the skills acquired to attain the jobs and able to acquire those skills an or off

of linkedin to obtain the job. for employers, it's an understanding of what skills they'll need to continue to grow and where that talent exists. and we'd also like to be able to provide this information to governments and educational infrastructure, junior chenls, vocational training facilities to create ideally just in time curriculum. >> you recently said at a company meeting, skills not degrees is what you're looking for, as someone whose son recently graduated from business school. i went, oh. are degrees not as important? >> i think coming back to the skills not degrees -- >> what you talking about, jeff? >> first i wouldn't characterize it as skills not degrees. i think sometimes people hear us talking about the importance of skills and not to overlook skills and that skills and degrees are not mutually exclusive. i think sometimes they like to take headlines and make that a bit provocative. exactly to your point, there are people pursuing degrees, graduating with degrees that are incredibly valuable, some first in their families to graduate college and will go on to jobs

their parents couldn't have dreamed of. that said, certainly speaking for silicon valley, we do too much hiring based on traditional backgrounds and traditional educations and we are overlooking incredible talent that may not have the prestigious degree but has the resilien resilience, the grit, the perseverance, the mind-set. >> to that point, there's been a lot of talk about this, whether the current generation can be more successful than their parents, which has always been the assumption in american life, right, that the children do better. what challenges do you see on that front for the next generation? >> i think one of the biggest challenges is going to be education and acquiring the right skill set to take advantage of the opportunities that are and will be and not just the joobs that once were. >> a lot of these kids are spending enormous amounts of money on degrees and aren't getting jobs or jobs that pay well at all. >> go ahead. >> yeah. so, again, i think it comes back to making sure we understand where those job opportunities are going back to the 6 million jobs that are available in the country today. when you have the data to

understand where those jobs are, the skills required for those jobs, and you can help people better match their own skills to their opportunities, i think you can start to close that gap. to your point, there is a lot of pain out there, there is a lot of anger out there. and that's one of the reasons we're working together on work in progress, is to shine a light on some of those stories so that people understand where there's fear in this country about being displaced by virtue of teg technology, where the jobs are leaving, are where the jobs are moving to and we're grateful to work with you on that. >> one quick point, which everybody agrees on, it is important to be able to find jobs and have the skills that come with finding a job or get you the job. it's also important to have a good liberal education. going to college is not just about finding a job. it's about understanding civilization, where you come from and understanding and getting other kinds of skills that will benefit you as a human being. >> it absolutely is. again, i don't think this is mutually exclusive. steve jobs used to talk about the importance of a liberal arts

education and connecting dots and that enabled him to create apple and some of the brilliant innovation apple has introduced to the world. the flip side is frankly our universities, our school system is not doing a good enough job equipping people with the skills for the jobs that will be. >> jobs but kicked out. you think kalanick goes back to uber at some point? >> it will be interesting to keep an eye on that and see whether or not it happens. >> we are all watching. thank you, jeff weiner. such a diplomat, that jeff weiner. award-winning director sofia coppola steps back in history for her new movie. she's in our toyota green room with her civil war-era thriller called "the beguiled." why she hired an etiquette coach for the

you're watch

director and writer sofia coppola went on to win an academy award for her second screenplay, "lost in translation." she continued to make her mark in hollywood on "marie antoinette" and "the bling ring." her new thriller "the beguiled" follows a group of women at an all girls boarding school during the civil war. it starts nicole kidman, doeskin

dunst, and elle fanning. what a cast. their shelted lives are disrupted after they take in an injured enemy soldier portrayed by colin farrell. >> is your leg paining you? >> some. >> well, i hear numbness would be more grave. >> indeed. >> there's some brandy if you wish. >> now, that would be a pleasure. >> it's not being offered for your pleasure, only for your comfort. >> yes, ma'am. >> i must remind you, you are not a guest here. you are a most unwelcome visitor and we do not propose to entertain you. >> i wouldn't expect it, ma'am. although you'll find i'm easily amused. >> welcome to studio 57. we're delighted to have you here. congratulations on "the beguiled." >> thank you. >> won a big award in cannes recently. such a very special movie because you don't know, a, who's being beguiled, and colin farrell said that the violence of the human heart is always interesting. you said the dynamic between men and women is interesting too.

set the scene for us about what is happening here. >> the story is about -- it takes place in a girls school in the south during the civil war, and it's a group of women living together and interesting to me because it's women of different ages, from 12 to 40s. and they take in an enemy soldier after not seeing a man for a long time. i think just the power between men and women, which we can all relate to, is at the heart of the story. >> that tension is immediate. >> yes. >> immediate. >> really wanted to feel the tension and the heat of the south and keep the tension and suspense. >> directors told me that casting is 80% of making a good movie. how did you go abou casting is film? >> yeah. i lovedorking wit kirsten dunst in the past and elle nning, so i asked them to come back and then i always admired nicole kidman, so i was really happy to have such great women together and then we had to find a man that could handle all these ladies. >> you wrote the screenplay with nicole kidman in mind. what did you see in her that you

wanted her for this movie? >> she's such an incredible actress and i think this character had to be a strong woman but also very feminine and delicate and she could also make her human and sympathetic and bring so much to making her feel like a real woman. >> then you had them take etiquette classes. you had etiquette classes and corset training lessons. what were you getting at there? >> we prepared before the shooting and they wore the corsets and had etiquette adviser and a dance teacher and a sewing teacher just to try to understand what it was like for women living at that time. >> like, what, because i read that you found a book that had unusual etiquette lessons that don't relate to us today. give us an example of that. >> yes. it's this very extreme idea of femininity and being a lady and you have to be very modest and always appealing to men and makeup is vulgar. this whole idea of how women were supposed to be for men at that time and then they found themselves at wartime with no men around and just the role of women at that time. >> i'm sure you've been asked a thousand times, but i love your

father. >> yes. >> tell me what he's talking about being a good director. >> oh, i mean, i've learned everything from my father. i think the best thing is he brought me and my brother on set. we spent a lot of time on his sets just learning how to make film. and he's so passionate and curious about filmmaking and just can't be around him without wanting to make films. he aays encouraged me to make films i felt personally connected to. >> did you show him an early cut? >> i always like to show it to him before i lock the cut. he always has great ideas just to make sure to get his blessing. >> you said remake was a bad word in your house. and this is a remake of sorts. why is it a bad word? >> he always said the only reason for a remake is to make money. why would anyone do that? and so i would never think to remake a film, but this premise was so interesting. there was a don siegel film in the early '70s starting clint eastwood told from the male point of view and i thought it was so interesting to be retell the story from the women

character. >> are women directors having a moment at this time? we had patty jenkins here last week, before the huge success of "wonder woman." "wrinkle in time." do you feel women are getting their just dues? >> it feels like an exciting time because people are talking so much about it and really valuing that the female audience is an important one too. >> great to have you here. >> thank you. >> very nice to meet you, sofia. >> thank you. >> congratulations. >> "the beguiled" opens in select cities friday and nationwide on june 30th. you are watching "cbs this morning." be right back.
