welcome to cbs this morning. president trump is wrapping up his high stakes visit to china with more talks between the world's two strongest economic powers. he received a formal welcome overnight at the great hall of the people in beijing. then in a speech, the president called america's trade relations with china one-sided and unfair. >> the president also said, quote, i don't blame china for taking advantage of past u.s. administrations. well, that's a switch from last year's campaign when he routinely attacked china's trade policy. >> the president called on china to act faster against north korea. he also said the u.s. and china will not repeat failed approaches in dealing with kim jong-un's regime. major garrett is traveling with the president. he joins us from beijing. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. secretary of state tillerson said for the first time china
7:04 am
has provided new intelligence on sanctions against north korea, revealing it is not only touching its meager commercial sector but also beginning to crimp perks enjoyed by north korean military elite. china's president xi jinping flattered the president with an elaborate welcoming ceremony and urged the commander in chief to give these sanctions more time to work. before the great hall of the people, chinese president xi jinping welcomed president trump with what he likes best, a military performance. a short jaunt past a brass band led the two leaders to a carefully arrayed group of children leaping and waving plastic flower bouquets on cue. moments later, the president called the pageantry magnificent, possibly a global phenomenon. >> and the world was watching. i've already had people calling from all parts of the world. they were all watching. >> reporter: on the pressing issue, north korea, the
7:05 am
president said xi can take the lead. >> i'm calling on china and your great president to hopefully work on it very hard. >> reporter: in their private conversations on north korea, mr. trump told xi the global leadership role china seeks runs through north korea. >> time is quickly running out. >> reporter: the president also pressed the issue of trade. reminding xi that all 15 of the largest u.s. annual trade deficits have been with one country, china. >> but i don't blame china. [ scattered applause ] after all, who can blame a country for being able to take advantage of another country for the benefit of its citizens. >> reporter: during the presidential campaign, china was one of mr. trump's favorite villains. >> we can't continue to allow china to rape our country. >> reporter: he struck a much different tone with his feet firmly planted on chinese soil. >> my feeling toward you is an
7:06 am
incredibly warm one, as we said, there's great chemistry. >> i want to thank you, again. you're a very special man. for your gracious hospitality. >> reporter: during the president's visit, china announced more than $250 billion in deals with u.s. companies. now, many of these agreements were in the workings long before the president arrived and will do little to erode the barriers to goods and services from the united states china stub bornly maintains. tomorrow, vietnam, an expected meeting with russian president vladimir putin. the pentagon said the probability of such an encounter was quite high, but tillerson here was noncommittal saying it was still under investigation. senate republicans plan to unveil their tax reform plan later today. "the new york times" reports the senate's version would create more than four tax brackets proposed by house republicans. like the house plan, would eliminate deductions for state
7:07 am
and local taxes. the senate bill would limit the number of people who pay the estate tax. the congressional budget office says the house bill would add $1.7 trillion to federal deficits over a decade. and in our next hour, the number three senate republican john thune will join us to talk about tax reform and how the senate plan would work. that's ahead right here on cbs this morning. an undercover operation revealed tsa screening at airports fails most of the time. investigators found the screeners missed test weapons and bombs at baggage checkpoints more often than not. chris van cleave is at reagan national airport right outside washington, d.c. with how the tsa is responding. chris, good morning. >> reporter: well, good morning. this latest round of checkpoint failures follows similar results or actually a little bit worse a couple of years ago and that prompted a systemwide retraining of tsa officers to try to improve performance. that appears to not have really worked out. now, the house healland security
7:08 am
committee decided to open yesterday's hearing to the public because these findings are so urgent. >> we found that briefing disturbing. >> reporter: that's how republican mike mccaul, the chair, opened the hearing. in that classified briefing, members learned investigators found more than 70% of the time undercover officers were able to get through tsa checkpoints with mock fiknives, guns and explosives. just two years ago, a test found 95% failure rate. add eight classified recommendations. in a statement, tsa says it takes the osg findings seriously and are implementing measures. both members of congress and the tsa support replacing old checkpoint scanners with new ct scanners like the ones we were first to show you back in march. mark laustra is from a company developing the technology. >> we use high-powered al eed
7:09 am
algorithms to detect explosives. >> reporter: told congress the ct technology is the most effective way to keep passengers safe but the cost is a merger hurdle. >> to invest in the ct technology requires funding above what tsa currently has. >> reporter: frank cilluffo is a former director of the security council. he says the tsa cannot be complacent. >> they're looking for vulnerabilities that can be exploited and we can make sure we push that as far as we can to minimize the risk. >> reporter: over the summer, the tsa did begin a limited pilot project testing those ct scanners. about a year behind schedule. just last week, they announced at additional $4 million in investment. but the airlines really would like to see this technology in place. america has offered to buy some of these scanners for the tsa to speed up limited deployment, charlie. >> thanks, chris. fema is offering to airlift victims from puerto rico to the united states mainland. this is the first time the agency will fly victims out of a
7:10 am
devastated region to stay somewhere else. it is part of fema's temporary sheltering assistance program. david begno is in san juan to explain how it works. >> reporter: we're inside a shelter where fema has actually come and asked the people if they're interested in taking part of this program. nobody's being forced to do so. it's a volunteer effort. like this woman who said yes, i want to go. there are two states involved here, florida and new york. that's where people will be taken. details are being finalized. the folks we've spoken to said we cannot wait to get out of here. glenda bonilla colon is desperate to leave the island. she's been in the shelter for 40 days. >> i really need to go to the states where i was born. i don't want to stay anymore here. >> reporter: 74-year-old elsie ortis' home was heavily damaged by hurricane maria. >> this is my house.
7:11 am
all the water. >> reporter: she too has been here a little over a month. she's been approached by fema with a chance to make her way to ft. lauderdale while her home is being repaired. they're going to come to pay back? >> going and coming and the 15 days in the hotel. >> reporter: in most natural disasters, fema will pay for hotel rooms for long-term displaced victims. but there aren't enough hotels on the island, prompting fema to come up with an airlift solution. mike byrne is the federal coordinating officer on the island. >> we've never done an airlift before for this program. we have to take the time to both set it up -- because the last thing we want to do is have them arrive at the airport and not have the services to take care of them. >> reporter: byrne says the program has yet to gain momentum. out of 300 families interviewed 48 hours ago, only 30, he says, showed interest. she has been at the shelter with three kids for three weeks. she says she has no money to
7:12 am
support them if they go. you feel safer here, even though you're in a shelter? >> right now, right now, yes. >> reporter: etiline and her kids are sleeping here. one of the reasons they want to stay is because the shelter is providing them food and free health care. even though mike byrne at fema says there's a lack of interest, everything we've found is there's more a lack of trust. people wondering once you get me to the hotel on the mainland, what am i going to do then without a job. >> all right, continue your incredible reporting from puerto rico, thank you so much. cbs news has learned the justice department is pushing at&t to sell cnn as part of its merger with time warner. the deal needs approval from regulators. the focus on cnn is raising concern about political interference. president trump has repeatedly bashed the cable channel. >> fake news. cnn.
7:13 am
fake. you are fake news. you're fake news. >> julianna goldman is in washington with what's at stake. julianna, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. during the campaign, president trump promised to stop the merger on antitrust grounds, saying that it's too much concentration of power in the hands of too few. but a person familiar with the matter told cbs news that white house officials had made it clear to at&t on multiple occasions that they're dissatisfied with cnn and in one case, sources say in january, president elect trump raised the matter directly with at&t ceo randal stevenson during a meeting at trump tower. the white house denies involvement in the negotiations and the justice department says that at&t itself offered to divest cnn and that the government flatly rejected it. but at&t's ceo said he never offered to sell cnn. sources say at&t is preparing to
7:14 am
take the administration to court, arguing that the deal doesn't pose any competition violations. gayle, democrats in congress even who are opposed to the merger like al franken, the senator from minnesota, say that if the trump administration is pressuring at&t to divest cnn, it would be a disturbing development. >> all right, a lot of people feel that way. thank you very much, julianna. the air force review of mistakes that allowed the texas church gunman to buy his firearms will be finished within days. vice president mike pence made that announcement yesterday before meeting with victims and their families. we've now learned the names of all 26 people that were killed on sunday. they include crystal holcombe, three of her children and crystal's unborn baby, the family had nicknamed him billy bob. mark strassmann in sunderland springs. >> reporter: i want to show you this new memorial. it's a long row of crosses built by a man in chicago who drove here to put them up. there are 26 in all, one for each shooting victim.

7:16 am
>> shani was a real inspiration. he loved his wife more than anything in the world. >> reporter: tori mccallum lost four family members. >> i just find solace that they were all together. >> reporter: her sister-in-law, kriftsal holcombe, and three nieces and nephews, emily, megan and greg hill. >> there are just so many. watching them take person after person out was so heartbreaking. >> reporter: on wednesday, apple revealed investigators have not asked it for help unlocking the gunman's cell phone. had it done so in the first 48 hours, the company would have suggested using the gunman's fingerprints on the touch i.d. feature. so many families are devastated in the small town but no family suffered more loss than the holcombes. there are nine crosses here, representing three generations. this is crystal holcombe. she was pregnant. over here, you'll see something, a small cross for her unborn child.

american and chinese business leaders at the summit announced trade agreements worth more than $250 billion. >> senate republicans have a new tax reform plan due to be released today and different from the house version. house republicans want four tax brackets but according to "the new york times" the senate bill would create more than that. it would also eliminate deductions for state and local tax else. the house bill would let homeowners deduct property tax up to $10,000. senators also want to limit the number of people who pay estate tax instead of getting rid of it south dakota senator john thune is chairman of the committee. >> good morning, charlie. >> help us how the senate bill is shaping up to be different from the house bill, in terms of those we just listed. also, there are reports in "the washington post" that you might delay until 2019 the corporate tax reduction. can you help us understand? >> that all will be rolled out later today, charlie, but the
8:04 am
details are in some cases slightly different than what the house did. we took a slightly different approach on some of the major issues. but the contours of the bill will largely follow the house's action, and if you can use an analogy, i mean we are all on the same team, we want to get to the same end zone, and sometimes we call slightly different plays in the house and senate but that's the way the process works. you will see the details when they come out later today, but we think we have a strong bill that advances economic growth and higher wages and better jobs. >> will it have a $1.7 billion deficit? >> it will have -- >> trillion, i'm sorry, 1.7 trillion. >> i know, dimensions here. it will have -- it will be consistent with the instruction we were given by the budget committee which is $1.5 trillion deficit to be dealt with in the form of hopefully higher economic growth. >> will the tax brackets change in your plan? are you planning to keep the seven prabrackets we have now? we hear different things.
8:05 am
>> there will be differences, gayle, in the brackets from what we have today and probably as well from what the house did, but what we wanted to do was design a tax code that delivered meaningful tax relief to middle income families and then, of course, on the business side a tax code that lowers that rate down so our businesses can be competitive in the global marketplace, which all of the analysis shows leads to higher wages for american workers. so those are two key objectives in this bill. we think we accomplished them, and on the individual side by doubling the standard deduction, lowering rates and expanding the child tax credit you really do drive tax relief to middle income families, which is something they desperately need. >> can you guarantee that no middle class family will see their taxes go up? >> norah, i don't think you can guarantee every filer is -- that that's going to be the case, but as we look at this we're trying to maintain the tax burden similar to what it is today, that the distribution of this flows through all of the
8:06 am
different brackets in a way that's consistent with what americans are seeing today in terms of their tax burden. so we're trying to keep progressiveness in the code and all of the different income cohorts make sure people are getting meaningful tax relief. i think the bill will accomplish that, but can you guarantee every single filer might, you know, have some different experience? i don't think you can guarantee that. >> a question on, as you know there's going to be some opposition from some of your friends in the northeast eegon about the elimination of deductions for state and local taxes, can you explain the republican philosophy about why that should be eliminated? >> well, you know, we are trying to do away with a lot of itemized deductions in the code. by doubling the standard deduction it will thereabout less than a third of the people who itemize today in the country, after this we think it will be less than 10% who itemize. it is designed to bring simplification to the code. in terms of that deduction it has been around for a while, but it is also one we think
8:07 am
subsidizes states that have higher taxes and eliminating that deduction i think will force states to take a look at their budgets. we think it is something that is something in the code that needs to go away. >> you can count votes in this. do you think it will be a straight party line vote and can it be passed before jan 1? >> i think it will be passed before january 1st, charlie. as to where the votes come down it will depend largely on when the bill comes out, and when we take it to the finance committee next week, we will have a full markup on it there and when it gets to the floor it will be open for amendment. i think there will be enough features about the bill that will be attractive to them that we may attract democrats, but right now we won't know. i guess i'm hopeful that will be the case, and we're going to work hard to make this an attractive bill both sides will want to support. >> are there plans to take democrats out to lunch? you know a lot happens when you have a good meal together, senator, just saying. >> it doesn't hurt, gayle, it

"issues that matter." people their share personal stories of harassment. nearly 70 women have come forward with accusations against harvey weinstein. that followed reporting by "new york times" correspondent and cbs news contributor jody cantor. they exposed decades of weinstein's alleged harassment. katie spent months digging into sexual harassment claims of those in silicon valley. $50 million was known to have been spent against bill o'reilly. they join us now. good morning. great to have you here. and congratulations on all of your incredible reporting. jody, let me start with you. you broke the weinstein story about a month ago now. it's incredible to see, essentially, this tsunami now of accusations that have come as a result, i think, of sort of
8:32 am
the #metoo. the sharing you can share the story and it would be reported accurately and fairly. >> yes. one meaning of the weinstein story, it's important to come forward. because we've now established a 40-year timeline of allegations. for people who knew about his behavior early on, and some of them have come forward publicly and said i should have said something earlier. and part of what the weinstein demonstrates even though coming forward can be hard for a woman, there can potentially be a cost to other people of not doing it. >> kate, you gave a graphic descriptive analogy about sexual harassment in silicon valley. like a healthy-looking log like turning over a healthy-looking log to find decay and bugs underneath. what made the women you spoke to decide i'm speaking out now? >> part reporting that emily has done about fox. so their story came out in april. and after that happened, in the news room, we saw the story and
8:33 am
we thought this is a bigger issue than just fox. you really need to dive into it. we have a lot of meetings about it. as i reached out to women in silicon valley i would send them emily's story and they would see how serious we took the issue. some women said they read it on their own and inspired them to speak out. i think part what jody said. the corp. russ of voices gathering over the course of the year. it wasy, you first reported those allegations against bill o'reilly and fox news. how much has changed since then? >> i think a lot has changed. i think when we were doing our reporting, it was kind of at this time last year we were still digging up information. still trying to get people to talk to us. people were very hesitant to talk about this issue. it was really hard. we had one woman who went on the record with her story. it was hard to convince her to do that. i flew out to l.a. and did a class with her to build a relationship. to try to get her to talk and tell her that so many other women had been silenced and how
8:34 am
important it was she had a voice. she needed to talk. and what we've seen now with katie's reporting and jody and megan's reporting is that people are talking more about this issue. women are finding their voices. but also the world is listening. >> they also know they've believed. >> and corporations are changing. how are institutions changing? it's such a historic change. what is the emerging definition? >> of sexual harassment? that's one thing we've talked a lot about. the actual legal definition of sexual harassment is quite gray. that the behavior needs to be severe and pervasive and have a negative impact on your career in order to bring a legal case. and that's one of the issues that is complicated this whole subject. >> do you think people are confused. sometimes people can say somebody lewd and inappropriate. it doesn't mean you're being harassed in a sexual manner. that's somebody who is a jerk and you want nothing to do with them. do you think we have to have
8:35 am
specific things about what sexual harassment means in the workplace? >> i think what we see now, and we saw it working together as a team and developing our reporting together in private. there are a lot of strong patterns to what is happening coming into you now. in all of our stories, there were women who were pretty junior in their careers who were allegedly harassed by more senior men. and is the problem the young women's careers can be cut off. it can have an impact on your rise in the workplace. we saw common means of intimidation. we reported on settlements. you reported on nondisclosure greermts. so what we're working together it was more than just looking at fox or weinstein or silicon valley. we were trying to get at the bigger picture of why is the system broken and what are the common patterns across these different industries? are these part of the problem? i don't think any woman who signs an nda say she could be
8:36 am
jeopardizing or hurting another woman. >> right. it's not just part of the problem because it jeopardizes someone else. it jeopardizes yourself. i spoke with a lot of people who sign nda who regretted it meetly. they felt like they had been treated unfairly. oftentimes they were undervalued. the amount of one woman got was a pittance. they compensated her for therapy bills. when she stepped back, it happened after the incident she felt very sad and depressed. she was not in a good negotiating position. and then in a few months later, she realized only had been given i think $10,000 for a lifetime of silence. there's debate over that now. there has been some attorneys who have said that you can break them. and the consequences are not as dire as your workplace would have you believe. >> i've heard you say this is more than a he said/she said story. you see it economically. >> absolutely. you look where the consequences have been. weinstein, the consequence were
8:37 am
severe and swift. with emily's story the consequences were dire for bill j o'reilly. in silicon valley they own their own businesses. one shut down his firm. there's no negative impact for him. >> reporting that all of you have done is not only exposed not just the courage for women to speak out, you have constitutional, systemic lawyers and everybody in place to stop this from going anywhere. with fox and with bill o'reilly he said no one had complaint against him. he had written in the contract he couldn't be fired over an allegation that wasn't proven in court. >> what we know is when fox renew renewed o'reilly contract in february of this year. the company knew of six allegations against him.
8:38 am
we know those settlements. those settlements for the six allegations have totaled $45 million. >> and, jody, and harvey weinstein's contract that was negotiated with the weinstein company. that also had some protections for him. >> absolutely. so you begin to ask who negotiated that contract. and what incidents did they know about and what were they protecting against and what were they trying to bury. the moral gravity of our story shifted when we found the 2015 memo written by o'connor the detailed sexual harassment in the company. a lot of detailed descriptions. and hear the brave woman had come forward within the company. >> these are how -- >> they lead to changes. that's what everybody wants to know. we have the conversation. what now is going to change? >> well, the hope, first of all, more women will feel comfortable coming forward. and that the shame and stigma, which, you know, part of our team work early in the year was about getting women comfortable with coming forward.
8:39 am
and making them feel like they were part of something larger and strategizing about how we could treat our sources as sensitively as possible. but also give them strength and confidence in telling their stories. so hopefully that is a thing that is easier now. i think there are also policy questions on the table. should nda's be used to cover up abuse or harassment. should companies be required to report settlements so there is some sort of public trail about what happened? >> all right. thank you all. we appreciate it. >> yes. coming up jim nans and tow any romo are enjoying themselves in the booth this season. >> a game of hide and seek. [ laughter ] count to ten and come find me! >> that's fantastic. i have to give it major style points! coming up behind the scenes with the newly team for
