7:09 am
move. but president trump's facts are off here. that bad deal was actually made by president george w. bush in 2008. president trump's cancellation also amid backlash over prime minister may's invitation for the president's state visit. many londoners have been angered by what they call trump's divisive politics. this morning, saying londoners have made it clear that donald trump is not welcomed. however, the president's cancellation has no impact on that state visit. the offer still stands. there is no set date. john. >> jonathan vigliotti in london, thanks. a bill to continue a warrantless internet surveillance program is headed to the senate after some confusion caused by presidential tweet. the house voted 256-164 to renew a portion of the foreign intelligence surveillance act or fisa. the program created after 9/11 allows u.s. intelligence to monitor the digital communication of foreigners living in other countries. before the vote yesterday, the
7:10 am
president seemed to attack fisa on twitter. he suggested the program was used to, quote, surveil and abuse the trump campaign. but the administration supported the program and the president soon did too, correcting himself about 90 minutes later, tweet, today's vote is about foreign surveillance, we need it. millions of americans face a potentially dangerous commute this morning as a powerful storm system barrels towards the east coast. the storm already dumped up to 9 inches of snow in the plains. new snow, ice and freezing rain could lead to slick road, flight cancellations and power outages, oh, boy. chief weathercaster, lonnie quinn, of our new york station wcbs shows us exactly where it's heading. >> i see all the colors, take a look, this is our storm. the green shows the rain. the pink and the purple sort of in this area shows you where you see the frozen ice and sleet, some snow behind it, as it makes its march from the west to the east. it starts off as rain for everybody. the back side shows it turning

carter is in heavily damaged monteci montecito. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. when you look at this destruction this pile of debris, branches and trees and rocks, it's hard to imagine that anyone could survive being swept away in something like this. and, in fact, search teams did find a body in here, just a couple of days ago. but now we're beginning to hear stories of what it was like from survivors who lost loved ones. >> this is all i have. everything is gone. >> reporter: all lalo barajas has left to remember his partner peter fleurat are these mementos he found a half hour from his home. they decided to ride out tuesday's storm. >> the floor felt like it had no support. it was just rolling underneath me. the walls burst open, the mud came in and shot us both out of the house. >> reporter: they were soon pulled in different directions. >> the last thing peter yellled out to me was, lalo, grab on to
7:13 am
some wood and don't let go. and that was the last i heard of him. >> reporter: officials say they tried to give people living in the area ample warning, starting the weekend before the storm via e-mails, text messages and phone calls. >> when the storm finally hit the national weather service put out a wia alert which is similar to an amber alert saying flash flooding was imminent. >> reporter: the alert went to the thomas fire area at 2:46 a.m. but santa barbara officials were concerned it didn't reach certain verizon customers. they then issued a countywide alert at 3:51 when the debris flow was already starting. officials answered criticism thursday that those alerts came too late. >> we knew we couldn't put a wia out when we were doing the evacuation orders and warnings because it would have gone out to the entire county. would have caused great confusion. >> i don't think they could have ever saw this coming but i think if they had said everybody should leave, we wouldn't have seen as many people in this situation right now.
7:14 am
>> reporter: the office of emergency management says it's working to improve that alert system. the sheriff's department said it sent out both voluntary and mandatory evacuations. and it was working off best information that it had. but in this case, the rain fell simply much harder and much faster than they expected. >> it's heartbreaking. carter, thanks. missouri governor eric gritens denies new accusations of assault as well as attempted blackmail of a former lover. the republican governor admits cheating on his wife with another woman before he was elected. the woman's now ex-husband exposed the affair to our st. louis affiliate kmov. dean reynolds is outside the state capital in jefferson city, missouri, with new allegations. dean, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. govern governor greetens is now accused of slapping the woman with whom he had an extramarital affair and now in very much damage control as an investigation
7:15 am
proceeds and his fellow republicans are asking him for more clarity. >> these allegations hanging out there, we need to get to the bottom of it. >> reporter: republican lawmakers in missouri want answers. which is why there is now an active criminal investigation into governor greitens' alleged conduct, including an admitted affair with his former hair dresser and accusations of blackmail and assault. >> i am a very proud husband and father. >> reporter: recordings obtained by cbs news appear to show the unidentified woman detailing her alleged encounter with governor greitens to her now ex-husband. >> i knew he was being sexual and i still let him. and he used some sort of tape. i don't know what it was. and taped my hands to these rings and then put a blindfold on me. he stepped back, i saw a flash through the blindfold and he said, you're never going to mention my name, otherwise these
7:16 am
pictures will be everywhere. he tried kissing my stomach and tried to kiss me down there but didn't quite get there because i flipped out and i said, you need to stop. >> reporter: greitens attorney says the story is a hit piece. >> if my goal is to inflict political harm on the governor, i would have brought this information public before the election. >> reporter: attorney albert watkins, who represents the ex-husband of the woman involved in the affair, alleges governor greitens assaulted her. >> when she admitted that she had had sexual relations with her husband during a period of attempted reconciliation, that the governor slapped her. >> reporter: and that attorney further claims that greitens began the affair in his home while his wife was in the hospital giving birth to one of their children. the governor's lawyer denies there was any violence or blackmail involved in the
7:17 am
affair. and he says greitens is confident that the investigation will prove him right. >> the allegations get more and more sorted. >> i think mrs. greitens made a good point where she says it's between me and my husband and we have worked it out. now you hear assault charges and it gets worse and worse. and his only two men at the table, why do men do dumb thingings? >> you want me to answer for all -- well, let me start the story, gayle. first the earth cooled. and then we're doing bad thingings. >> you said we don't have enough time. >> right, exactly. >> all right, thank you. facebook is making big changes to what its more than 2 billion users see when they log on. the ceo said facebook is overhauling its news feed algorithms to proor tiz content from family and friends. less public content like posts from brands and news organizations. zuckerberg says the changes will encourage more meaningful social
7:18 am
interaction. cbs news contributor nickless tum lynn son. >> yet another man. >> what is facebook's incentive for changing this algorithm? >> they have a massive incentive because they've come under criticism over what facebook is doing to society. what's really pushing this is the criticism that facebook makes us lonely, facebook makes us unhappy. it's the sea of content we just look at, we don't absorb, we don't feel good at. now they're saying we're to change the algorithm so you see the kind of content you feel better about. >> isn't the whole business model selling to companies the right to target individuals based on demographics? >> facebook thinks they will make more money if people feel better about the time they spend on facebook. >> so they're going to change the algorithm so they will prioritize the kind of content we talk about and share with our friends as opposed to just the stuff we look at and maybe click
7:19 am
on. >> but the thing about having your friends be prioritized is a lot of the reason people feel sad is they see their friends posting and say wow, they have a much better life than i do. that's where it gets you ride inside your gut. >> that is one of the many complicated things. we'll see. >> all right, nick thompson, always good to have you here, thank you very much. ahead, general motors wants to remove steering
