>> this morning's "eye opener" is presented by toyota. let's go places. welcome to "cbs this morning." charlie rose and norah o'donnell are both off today, but not to worry, we're in good hands. jeff glor and reena ninan are here at the table. >> welcome back, gayle. >> thanks. we begin with the trump administration searching for the right response to north korea's first-ever intercontinental ballistic missile test. the most powerful missile the north has ever tested marks a dramatic change in the threat to the u.s. from kim jong-un's regime. >> u.s. forces in south korea responded overnight with a show of deep strike missiles. those missiles were fired into south korean waters. secretary of state rex tillerson is promising stronger measures against kim's government. but the u.s. has very few workable options most feel.
7:04 am
the north korean leader said american jerks would not be very happy with this gift sent on the july 4th anniversary. ben tracy is in beijing with a growing international reaction to the missile test. ben, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. well, china and russia are now saying that they oppose any effort to resolve the north korean crisis by force or with sanctions that would strangle the country economically. the u.s. and south korea seem to be making a different argument this morning with missiles. in a large-scale military exercise wednesday, the u.s. and south korea launched a barrage of missiles into the east sea. the message to north korea, we have weapons too, and they are not far away. in a statement, the pentagon said the u.s. will use the full range of capabilities at our disposal against the growing threat from north korea. after the u.s. military
7:05 am
confirmed that the regime successfully launched an intercontinental ballistic missile on tuesday, south korean officials say the missile, known as the hwasong-14, is a two-stage weapon with an estimated range of nearly 5,000 miles, capable of hitting alaska and even the west coast of the united states, according to some experts. >> each missile that north korea tested before this was back in may. that had a range of maybe about 300 miles. so this is considerably longer. i think the kinds of things they're doing will allow them to continue to increase the range. >> reporter: north korea believes that possessing nuclear weapons capable of hitting the u.s. is the only way to be taken seriously. the regime is developing its weapons more rapidly than most experts thought possible. it claims that tuesday's test improved the accuracy of its icbm and that it can carry a large-size heavy nuclear warhead. but one test does not mean that north korea now has a reliable
7:06 am
intercontinental ballistic missile system, and we don't know if they're able to put a nuclear warhead on it as they claim. >> ben tracy in beijing, thank you, ben. president trump is on his way to europe this morning. he lands tonight in warsaw where he'll meet with the presidents of poland and croatia. then he'll go to hamburg, germany, for the g20 summit on friday and saturday. mr. trump will meet with chinese president xi and russian president putin in the german city. he said those countries need to further isolate north korea. chip reid is at the white house. chip, good morning. >> reporter: well, good morning. the g20 summit is a meeting of 20 of the world's most powerful economies. president trump's first appearance comes amid increased provocations from north korea and that is likely to become the focus instead of the world economy. >> there can be no greater privilege than to serve as your commander in chief. >> reporter: at a fourth of july celebration for military families, president trump thanked american troops serving at home and abroad. >> we do have challenges, but we
7:07 am
will handle those challenges, believe me. >> reporter: the biggest challenge right now, that north korean missile launch. trump administration officials held two conference calls to discuss the situation. the only white house response was the president's tweet. does this guy have anything better to do with his life? the u.n. security council will convene an emergency meeting this afternoon. u.n. ambassador nikki haley tweeted tuesday, spending my 4th in meetings all day. #thanksnorthkorea. secretary of state rex tillerson called for global action in response to a global threat, adding that the u.s. will never accept a nuclear armed north korea. the presidents of russia and china met in moscow tuesday. the two called for a freeze of both north korean nuclear testing and joint military exercises by the u.s. and south korea, which are further flaring tensions in the region. >> at the end of the day the
7:08 am
russians and the chinese just don't care. it's not their problem. >> reporter: nuclear policy pert jeffrey lewis believes increased sanctions or threats will only push north korea to develop more weapons. >> north koreans realize that these weapons are basically the only thing they have going for them. it's a fantasy to imagine that pressure alone is going to solve our problem. >> reporter: president trump has pressured china to pressure north korea to stop developing nuclear weapons and he is reportedly deeply unhappy that china is drag its the feet. gayle. cbs news national security analyst fran townsend was a former advisor to president george w. bush. she joins us at the table to discuss. hello, fran. >> hello. >> july 4th seems like a big ole in your face move. has that changed the game, do you think? >> it absolutely has changed the game. this was a successful intercontinental ballistic missile launch. that means it has further range than anything up to now. we knew they had medium and short-range missiles which were
7:09 am
much more of a regional threat. this now represents a direct threat to the united states. and so we're going to have to do things differently. sanctions alone have not worked. and i think the timing of it allows the president now to put this at the top of his agenda in his g20 meeting. but i should say it's a big step yet to say once you've got the missile to be able to successfully marry the nuclear warhead and have a successful launch. >> the question, fran, you say sanctions don't work and we have to do something. what is that? >> we have to get our -- the other countries to care about this as much as we do. you know, i think it isn't right to say that it's not -- you know, north korea doesn't represent a regional threat. during the bush administration we pushed quite hard to get our regional partners to pay more attention to this. china is going to have to really seriously implement. the reason we're hearing president trump is unhappy is we know that 80% of the sort of supply chain into the program in
7:10 am
north korea comes through china still. >> but what incentive does china have to do something beyond what they're doing right now. >> you just heard the experts say they don't care, it's not their problem. >> we should be honest about why china is not incentivized. china has always cared about the u.s. presence on the peninsula and so their great fear is an increased u.s. presence if the north korean government falls. we have to put that on the table while still reassuring our south korean allies. so it's a delicate dance. but what we've been doing all along hasn't worked and so we're going to have to be willing to put new things on the table. >> past presidents have tried diplomacy, it hasn't worked. there are 28,000 u.s. troops on that border. we know in the past ten years it's heavily armed, that demilitarized zone. so where do you go then? is diplomacy really an option here? >> dpliplomacy alone and diplomy with sanctions alone has not worked, right? we have to be honest with
7:11 am
ourselves. i think it underscores the importance of the missile defense system that we're putting in for south korea. i also think the thing we haven't talked about yet is the importance of our missile intercept capability. and so it may be the north koreans ought to be prepared the next time they do just a missile launch, the united states might try to use its capability to intercept that. >> but no one is fully confident those intercepts will work. they did try the icbm and they said it worked but that was designed to succeed. >> that's right. and so i think what you're going to see in congress and here in the united states is a real call to put further investment in that technology. >> fran townsend, thank you very much. a new york city police officer is dead after being ambushed overnight in the bronx. the nypd says the officer was assassinated while in a parked mobile command unit when 34-year-old alexander bonds walked up and shot her in the head. police shot and killed bonds about a block away. don dahler is at the scene of
7:12 am
this deadly ambush. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. police stepped up their patrols in this area since march because of gang activity. the nypd was out in full force last night for the fourth of july celebrations. but just three hours after the fireworks ended, a routine shift up the street from here turned into a frantic situation. an early morning police patrol was interrupted by a violent ambush. suspect alexander bonds allegedly walked up to an nypd mobile command post window and opened fire, striking the officer in the head. >> it was clear this was an unprovoked attack on police officers who were assigned to keep the people of this great city safe. she was sitting in the vehicle and he came up and fired a round into the vehicle. >> reporter: her frantic partner's desperate call for help came moments after the shooting. >> my partner's sht! my partner's shot! get me an ambulance. >> get a blood bank going.
7:13 am
>> i saw a brawl happening in the police van. someone was in there like a crazy guy with a gun and a cop got shot. >> officer familia, mother of three, was rushed to the hospital. >> female police officer attacked out of nowhere. >> reporter: mayor bill de blasio said she was shot while doing a job she loved. >> she was on duty serving this city, protecting people. >> reporter: the nypd released a picture of the gun allegedly used in the shooting and called on the public for help. >> we can't do it by ourselves. we need each and every one of your help. we need the media's help. we need the folks on the street corner. we need the people in the apartments. we always need your help to watch our backs as we watch yours. >> reporter: sources tell cbs news bonds was out on parole for a robbery in syracuse. an innocent bystander was injured in the shootout with police, but he is reportedly in stable condition. >> don, thank you.
7:14 am

zhang getting into christensen's car. the investigators' affidavit said christensen admitted to giving an asian woman a ride but told investigators he later let her out of the car. the documents claim a search of christensen's black saturn revealed the front passenger side appeared to be cleaner than the rest of the vehicle, possibly indicating an attempt to conceal or destroy evidence. more than 5600 chinese students study at the university of illinois at urbana champaign. u of i spokesperson robin kaler says the school is always working to improve security. >> we already were buying more security cameras, replacing some of the older ones. this camera caught the car but when we tried to enhance the image to see the license plate number, the resolution wasn't high enough to do that. >> reporter: zhang's family journeyed from china to the u.s. to await news of their daughter and is staying in university housing. >> yingying had only been on campus for six weeks but she was
7:18 am
an illini. she had become part of our family. >> christensen is being held in decatur, illinois. he's expected to appear before a judge this afternoon to determine whether he should remain in custody. zhang family members say they will stay in illinois until she is found of the investigators don't think she's still alive, but no body has been found. jeff. >> anna, thank you very much. a fourth of july fireworks show appears to have started a brush fire on a mountain in tucson, arizona. the fireworks were still going off as the grass burned below. firefighters were already there for the celebration and did contain the fire late last night. fireworks shows in other parts of the country went off without a problem. the fourth of july celebration in washington ended with a colorful display over the national mall. a large crowd gathered along new york city's east river as well to watch the macy's fireworks spectacular. 60,000 shells were launched from five barges in the river. and in california, people gathered at the rose bowl in pasadena to see one of the

8:07 am

money & schuster which is a division of cbs. good morning, brave woman. you laid it all out there. we'll find outyou're still together. keep the suspense. i love that you open about talking about your parents' own divorce who told you and your sister when you were 26 years old they're getting a divorce and that sort of shaped you a little bit because it showed you there are no guarantees in love. >> yeah. i think for most of my life if you're a good person and you don't do anything to betray your spouse in any way that that's really all you need to do to have a long stable marriage and when my parents split up, i was shocked and i kind of thought, wow, maybe a lot of what i think about love is actually wrong. >> because you said most of us think love, marriage, baby carriage. >> yeah. there's a script. >> i do too. love, marriage, baby carriage. >> and you'll have a happy life. >> what should we be thinking
8:35 am
now? >> what i learn through the book, which is just -- i've read a ton of love stories and i think basically the fact is most stories really narrow the way we can think about love and suggest that there's like one with right way to love and that will make you happy. and the reality is there are lots of way that love can be a part of our lives. >> i was so struck actually by the last line in your original article where it says that you say here falling in love is not the same as staying in love. falling in love is the easy part is what you say. >> yeah. well, because i think so many of our stories are really about how two people get together, but ultimately, we don't talk that much about what it means to stay in a relationship and what that looks like and how that works. and we would really benefit from having more stories about stuff like that. >> and a lot of it comes from the movies you talk about. you mention "notting hill" and "dirty dancing."
8:36 am
>> i love those stories. >> i think they're great. >> i believed. >> but they tell the falling in love part of it, not the staying in love part of it. >> yeah, yeah, i think so. >> staying in love, part of that and sustaining it becomes pa ofrt the questions that came up in the article cal and this is a 20-year-old study that you put in the zeitgeist that when this essay came out. why is it important for folks to talk about these questions? >> the thing about the questions is it's not like they're necessarily a shortcut to creating romantic love, but they do sort of statistically significant lots of studies have shown this, they do create intimacy and closeness really quickly and it's a process i think normally that takes week, maybe months, and it accelerates it into a couple of hours. >> how do you do that, mandy. i'll take the merlot and how do
8:37 am
you feel about your relationship with your mother. it's a little awkward, right sf. >> if he doesn't get along with his mama, that's a big old flag. >> question 24. >> like check please. >> i think you have to be really transparent about it. i think you have to say, i read about this study, it sounds interesting. would you like to try it. >> i wouldn't do that first date. >> i did. >> you did? >> yeah. but i didn't know i was going to do it. it sort of came up. >> let's talk about the title how to fall in love with anyone. number one, i love the tight. what exactly do you mean by that? how do you do that? >> i don't think you can fall in love like with a random person on the street, but i do think the reality about love is we often think about it as this thing that happens to us and we're just sort of passively accepting whatever love throws our way, but the truth is we have a lot more agency than that and that we can really choose to invest ourselves and invest in
8:38 am
another person. >> and you say how you meet somebody is also how you determine the validity of the relationship with your friends and family. if you feel supported by friends and family when you meet somebody, it bettors the chances. what do you mean by that? >> lots of research shows how you meet someone influences how much support you get from the people around you. >> like if you met -- >> like if you meet someone at a bar versus at like a community center or church or something like that. and there's also research that shows the more your friends and family approve of your partner, the longer your relationship likely to last. >> i get that. when you fall out of love, people want an explanation. it's not enough to know it just didn't work out. they want to know exactly what happened. >> yeah. one thing i think is really interesting about romantic love is we're really okay with not knowing much about how -- like
8:39 am
why two people got together or how they stay together. we want this process to be super mysterious, but when someone breaks up, we want all the details. we want to know why. and one of the things i discovered once i started thinking about that and my parents' divorce and my own long-term relationship ending is we oversimplify. it's really complicated. >> short-term relationships can be important and okay too. it doesn't always have to lead to love, marriage, and baby carriage. >> that's a whole separate subject. >> i'm not talking about one-night stands. i'm not talking about that. are you talking about that? >> anywhere from one to whatever. >> you want someone to whisper desposito in her ear. is that okay? >> the guy you took the test with, what's going on? >> we're still together.
8:40 am
>> you're still together. >> do you think you're together because of the test or do you think it opened up other things? >> i think doing the questions sort of opened -- it helped me trust him in a way that i didn't trust other people i had dated, and i think that was a great starting point. >> the questions, by the way, are in a book. >> page 223. >> the questions are good. 36 questions. >> maanda len catron. thanks. >> thanks for having me. ahead, jonathon vigliotti finds out how mans
