additional $4.6 billion in emergency relief. david begnaud is back in san juan, puerto rico where the governor says they're struggling to meet people's basic needs. david, good morning. >> reporter: charlie, good morning. 20 days after maria made landfall, people are still not getting the food and water they need in isolated areas of the island. in the capital of san juan, generators continue to be the lifeline. a majority of the island still without power. debris, 40 million pounds already removed in san juan. what hasn't been removed is causing major problems. in the figueroa neighborhood, debris has clocked street drains, contributing to wide spread flooding. this woman says the government has not helped with cleaning the streets. the only time she's seen the mayor is on television. we wanted to talk to the mayor about that. we found her at the main distribution center at the coliseum in san juan. >> i have to make a decision,

either i open the roads in order to save lives and i use the money that i have for medicine and for food and for water, and i decided the route to go was not a logistical route, but a human route. >> reporter: the governor was critical of the mayor's response and sent a team of his own to help clear the streets on monday. >> this has been an ongoing problem that hasn't presented itself anywhere else in puerto rico. it wasn't handled by the municipality as it should have been. >> reporter: further complicating, allegations that aid is not being properly handled by distributors. >> they are not providing the water and food that is given to them, then there's going to be hell to pay. >> reporter: while 60% of the island has water, everyone is being told to boil it to present disease which is difficult because most people don't have power. >> people tend to always want to ask are things getting better.

those are not criminal. we also have to remember for prosecutor or a woman is going to get involved in a criminal case, that harvey weinstein is presumed innocent and we can't forget that when we have this discussion. we haven't heard of a prosecutor yet who is saying i'm going to go forward with a criminal case. s.uld one do that? numberye one, is it within the statute of limitations meaning the time limit? you just heard a story that happens ten years ago, not within the statute of limitations. it would have to be much more recent. by the way, a lot of states since the bill cosby episodes have gotten away, done away with statutes of limitations, but not for crimes that occurred before. so then you have yet another hurdle. does the woman want to go forward? many of these women would not want to go forward with a criminal case and so how does

the prosecutor, if a woman signed a confidentiality agreement get her in at all? >> right. >> he must use or she must use the subpoena power of a grand jury. if tles herthere's a confidenti agreement that woman cannot talk. >> you're saying a subpoena would override the confidentiality agreement? >> yes, we know that from the bill cosby case. a woman cannot tell her friends, cannot tell the police once she has signed. we also don't know if any or many of these women have gone to the police before they may have signed any confidentiality agreement. that's like andrea with cosby. that's a different story. >> do wie know whether the boar of directors had any oversight on terms to settle? >> the company would have to certainly face civil liability if in fact they knew something and we have to know when they knew it. if the company knew nothing, if

harvey weinstein paid this out of his own pocket we have a different story, but if i'm the company i'm looking for a complete review. >> and we do know the company has hired an independent team to uncover the whole truth. thanks for your time. some employers may soon deny health care coverage for birth control on religious and moral grounds. next we hear from one woman involved in the rollback and you can hear more on our pod casts. find them all on itunes and apple's pod cast app. you each watching "cbs this morning." confusion. elp guide you through e well that wasn't so bad at all. that's how we like it. unitedhealthcare. whentrust the brand doctors trust for themselves. nexium 24hr is the number one choice of doctors
