welcome to the "overnight news." there is a turf war raging at the consumer finance shall protection bureau being fought with dough nuts and duelling e-mails. on one side is an acting director around since the obama administration. on the other, an acting director chosen by president trump. it has led to confusion at the agency, which was created in the weak of the financial meltdown of 2008. julianna goldman is following this. >> good morning. >> yes, yes, i do. >> reporter: this morning, mick mulvaney, president trump's acting director, brought dough

nuts for new staff. in a bureau wide e mail he encouraged them to say hello and grab them and to disregard directions from leandra english who sent her own staff e-mail. english also met with massachusetts senator elizabeth warren, who spearheaded correction of the cfpb in the wake of the 2000 financial crisis. english was appointed to head the agency by richard cordray. >> the law says that i shall apin the a deputy director. i did that before i departed. the law says the deputy director shall serve as acting director. i thought that was probably the, end of the story. >> reporter: english is suing president trump to try and block him from appointing mulvaney who had this to say about the cfpb in 2014. >> it turns up being a joke. that's what the cfpb has been. in a sick, sad kind of way. >> reporter: asked today if he stands by those comments? >> my opinion of the cfpb has has not changed.

i still thing it is an awful example of a bureaucracy that has gone wrong. >> reporter: president trump consistently criticized the bureau. since its inception, the cfpb has been ate punching bag for republican whose say it saddled anks with unnecessary regulations, oversees financial institutions and refunded near three $12 billion to tens of millions of consumers. the bureau has been aggressive in its enforcement, its highest profile case last year against wells fargo. the cfpb fined the bank $100 million for opening millions of unauthorized bank accounts and credit cards. president trump invited native american veterans of world war ii to the white house. but the ceremony took a turn for the worse when mr. trump cracked what some are calling a racist joke about senator liz beth warren. nancy cordes reports.

>> you are very, very special people. >> it wasn't just what president trump said about elizabeth warren, it is where he said it. at an event to honor elderly native american code talkers, who used their tribal languages during world war ii to help confound u.s. enemies. >> you were here long before any of us were here. although we have a representative in congress who they say was here a long time ago. they call her pocohontas. >> democrats quickly called it a racial slur. warren called it disturbing. >> i guess he thinks it is going to shut me up. all i can say its, hadn't worked in the past. not going to work in the future. >> president trump has the used that name to peg his progressive foe many times before. >> pocohontas is not so good. >> what an insult to pocohontas. look at her cheek bones. a big con game we have going in washington. >> reference to the massachusetts senator's past claims of cherokee as ses tree. >> but the truth is the truth. i believe my mother. >> white house press secretary sarah sanders insisted there is

nothing offensive about nicknaming a u.s. senator pocohontas. >> i think what most people find offensive is senator warren lying about her heritage to advance her career. >> late this afternoon, the navaho nation put out a statement calling the president's comment culturally insensitive. and the national congress of american indians called it, a slur. that overshadowed the native american war heroes, the president was there to honor. overseas the kingdom of saudi arabia is in the middle of a political and all churl transformation that could change the face of islam. holly williams is in riyadh.

the avalanche of sexual misconduct allegations against the rich and powerful began with the case against former movie mogul harvey weinstein. well erin moriarti spoke with the investigative reporter who helped break the story. >> they anger us, offend us. sometimes they make us sad. actors, politicians, journalists, producers, accused of behavior that ranges from simply creepy to criminal. in the case of movie mogul harvey weinstein, the accusations go back years. but his accusers have only come forward in the past two months. why now?

>> this was the first point in history when women could look at allegations against bill cosby, allegations against roger ailes, against bill o'reilly and see for the first time okay, as scary as this is, there is a precedent. i can come forward and be heard. >> but this young reporter also played a part in what many describe as a moment of reckoning. his name is ronan farrow, at 29 he wasn't born when weinstein is alleged to have begun sexually harassing and assaulting women. yet farrow was able to stand up to the legal and pr machine. >> when harvey weinstein threat tuned sue me it was like harry potter where an invitation to hogwarts is coming through every window, fireplace, opening in the house. farrow working for nbc news when he was assigned the story. he obtained an incriminating police recording of harvey weinstein, with actress

gutierrez. >> he also had other accusers on the record. but nbc executives said the story still needed work. and decided not to proceed with it. >> there wasn't a thought like i should just give up on this? >> in terms of the gravity of the evidence, it would have been impossible for me to live with myself or answer to any of the many women i had already interviewed if i had stopped. >> so, ronan farrow went to the new yorker magazine. >> from the moment he walked in the doors here you were deter menned to get this in print. >> you are damn right. >> the editor of the new yorker says he knew all about the claims against weinstein. 15 years ago, one of his writers, working on a profile of the movie producer, connecticut vince accusers to go public. it was who brought farrow to the

new yorker, much like aletta, farrow had a battle. >> once said of bill bradlee, exhibited the governments a jewel thief. not not that he did theefg, he did work. this is not some body doing this for 20 years, stakes are high, the new yorker, personal reputation to say nothing of mine. >> farrow's first story of weinstein detailing allegations of sexual assault made by a dozen actresses including mira sorvino and, roseanna arquette appeared on line in early october the same week a similar story appeared in "the new york times." >> how much did that help you the fact that the times came out that same week? was there strength in numbers? >> for sure. for sure. i mean for months i was working alone. >> the impact was immediate. >> when something this major happens, when you have the fallout, 50 women coming for ward, that, it is a watershed

moment. >> farrow's follow-up report was equally explosive revealing the length that weinstein would allegedly go to quash negative stories including using private investigators, and former israeli spies, to dig up dirt to discredit his accusers, as well as the the journalist whose told their stories. >> i don't think most people are aware of the exotic and extreme tools at the disposal of the most powerful and wealthy men in america when they are bent at silencing accusations against them. >> do you think that there was an investigation to see if there was anything in your background or anything that could, make you back off from this story? >> i know that that is the case. >> but anyone looking into farrow's background would quickly discover he is not easily rattled. he is a lawyer, was chosen a rhode scholar, and maybe most important, he grew up under a media microscope. as the son of actress and

activist, mia farrow. >> it was perhaps an unexpected advantage in one sense that any dirt that could be uncovered on me had already lived in the tab lid for my entire life. which is a painful and unpleasant thing, but, in this case, it meant that, there were really no surprises to of uncover when there were efforts to discredit me. >> farrow born in 1987 during his mother's long term relationship with woody allen. he was 4 when in the middle of his parents's any custody battle his 7-year-old sister dylan accused allen of sexually abusing her. after two different state investigations, allen was never criminally charged. >> those are painful family experiences that i for many years tried to outrun and avoid. >> wood yy allen denied it. denied it powerfully. >> has always denied it. has gone very directly after any woman, proximate to it.

huge, huge public relations apparatus designed to do that. >> in 2014, farrow's sister then an adult decided to repeat her accusation against her father publicly. >> you tried to talk her out of it. >> tried to talk her out of it vigoro vigorously. saying, stay quiet. you have already lived through this trauma. why bring it up again? why hurt your career? why hurt the rest of our careers? >> why did she decide to go forward? >> the logic that she, articulated to me had a lot in common with the logic raised by women speaking out against harvey weinstein. she wanted to make sure that other women were protected. >> in a statement to cbs news, a representative for woody allen said the sexual abuse allegations have been investigated thoroughly and repeatedly, and have consistently been found to lack any basis in fact. but ronan farrow says he now believes his sister did the right thing by speaking out.

and, as he interviewed women making accusations against weinstein, he says, dylan was on his mind. >> she, made a very brave choice to, to go public because she thought it could help others. that is the same choice that each and every one of these women accusing harvey weinstein had to make. this was all downside for the women coming forward. there was nothing to gain. everything to lose. >> but while some women say they were too terrified to speak about harvey weinstein, others simply couldn't. weinstein who denies all claims of nonconsensual sex had been paying for their silence. as much as $1 million in the case of gut tichlt errez has farrow reported this past week. >> the nondisclosure agreements. what part did those play? >> over 20 years he signed, secret settlement after secret settlement, binding will tune silence. >> mimi filet has come forward

in order to support others who have been brave enough to break the silence about what they allege that they suffered as a result of meeting harvey weinstein. >> famed lawyer, gloria a allrepresents a number of women, a former movie production assistant who have gone public with accusations against harvey weinstein. >> i have known about allegations against him for some time. more than a year, years? >> for a significant period of time. >> i remember, harvey rolling on to his back saying, don't you feel we're so much closer to each other now. to which i replied, no. >> but allred admit she has also had clients she has advised in the past to remain silent in exchange for money. >> isn't that exactly why we didn't hear about any of these cases till now? >> there is a legitimate concern. what about public safety? if this victim cannot speak, might he do it again?

and again and again? on the other hand, my duty as an attorney, is to my client. i will not sacrifice my client for any cause, even a cause that i believe in. >> but the days of silencing victim maze be over. harvey weinstein not long ago among the most powerful men in h hollywood has lost his job and so have more than two dozen other men accused of inappropriate work place behavior. all because of a few dogged reporters, and the women who trusted them. >> harvey weinstein himself, and this allegations against him are, are extreme. it's important to say that. but, he is hardly alone. and if this moment, lead to -- to a greater awareness to men, particularly men in position of powers and influence, ok, let's try this. it says you apply the blue one to me.

design the world's tallest building in dubai, worries more wood could mean more fire if codes aren't strictly enforced. >> we have got a responsibility to think about the unthinkable things. i'm glad there are advocates for timber, need to be reasonable control and understanning applied to it. >> when you are working out of a wood office? >> we are. >> thomas robinson lead architect for framework a building in portland. at 148 feet, it is expected to surpass carbon 12 as tallest wood building in america. >> this is the three fly. >> designed with cross laminated timber, robinson says is fire resistant. to get a building permit the materil had two survive two hours in a furnace at 2,000 degrees. >> what happened here? >> he showed us what remand of the wood. >> the fire burned it done to there. but at this, this level. would it still hold? >> it would still hold. shows you how the structure is
