no word yet on what caused the fire. >> the u.s. olympic committee has given the usa gymnastics board six days to resign following the sentencing of larry naser. >> this isn't over, is it? >> not at all. >> casey affleck has withdrawn from this year's academy awards. >> affleck has faced accusations of sexual misconduct. >> all that -- >> calls this hysteria in france. >> to keep customers from tearing each other apart. >> and all that matters. >> turns out oprah has no interest in the oval office. quote, it's not something that interests me. i don't have the dna for it. >> if she's not going to run for president, can't she at least give us each a car or something in it seems like -- think about it, oprah. >> and game. are you kidding me. tony carr at the horn. got it! at the buzzer. >> this morning's eye opener is

presented by toyota. let's go places. a good sports moment when you see grown people on the floor rolling around and they're happy. i like it. welcome to cbs this morning on this friday. i'm gayle king with john dickerson and norah o'donnell. president trump is dismissing a stunning new report that says he ordered the firing of special counsel robert mueller seven months ago. sources tell "the new york times" the president claimed three conflicts of interest to disqualify mueller. the report says white house counsel don mcgahn refused to go along and the president then changed his mind. >> this adds a new intrigue to the next few weeks. major garrett is at the white house. >> reporter: here's the bottom line. last summer, prominent white house officials argue with

mr. trump not to take any punitive action against special counsel robert mueller. and they prevailed. 4,200 miles from the white house, president trump addressed the white house controversy from davos. >> you want to fire robert mueller? >> fake news, folks, fake news. typical "new york times" fake story. >> reporter: "the new york times" says when president trump tried to fire special counsel robert mueller in june, white house counsel don mcgahn threatened to quit. back then, chris ruddy, a trump confident, told cbs the president was considering it. >> i think he's considering perhaps terminating the special counsel. i think he's weighing that option. >> reporter: but by august, mr. trump says removing mueller was far from his mind. >> i haven't given it any thought. i've been reading about it from you people. you say, oh, i'm going to dismiss him. no, i'm not dismissing anybody. >> reporter: cbs news has learned mr. trump addressed conflict of interest concerns

about m about mueller with top advisers. among the issues, work mueller had done at a law firm that represented jared kushner. and mueller had interviewed with mr. trump for the fbi director job a day before being appointed special counsel. concern over mueller's fate was apparent on capitol hill last summer. >> any effort to go after mueller could be the beginning of the end of the trump presidency. >> reporter: and last night, lawmakers said mueller and his investigation should be left alone. >> if it's true, it would be concerning to me. >> there is a credible case of obstruction of justice against the president of the united states. we have now a constitutional crisis looming. >> reporter: under the law, president trump cannot fire mueller, only deputy attorney general rob rosenstein can and he has said before congress he sees nothing wrong with mueller's conduct or his investigation. and the president's statements earlier this week that he looks forward to an interview with

mueller under oath suggests his job is safe. >> major, thanks so much. paula reid is outside the special counsel's office in washington. paula, how will the president's reported efforts to fire mueller affect mueller's investigation? >> good morning. this could be used as evidence in the special counsel's investigation into whether the president obstructed justice by trying to use his position to tamp down the russia investigation. if it comes up, the president's lawyers have at least two strong arguments. the first is they could argue that the president had valid reasons to think that mueller had a conflict of interest. they can also point out he didn't actually follow through after he talked to his lawyers. of course this news adds an awkward dynamic to any possible interview between mueller's team and trump. the president does not have to agree to answer any questions from investigators, but then mueller could subpoena him to testify before a grand jury.

the president could attempt to refuse that subpoena. his lawyers could challenge mueller's authority. to subpoena a sitting president. but that could possibly set off a constitutional crisis. >> all right, paula, thank you. with us is dan senor, former adviser to speaker ryan. he has been talking to members of congress since the mueller story broke. >> good morning, gayle. >> are the republicans saying this is a bombshell report? what are they saying? >> it's another example. i've spoken to a couple -- speaking to republican members of congress to get a handle on what was going on, on the immigration reform proposal, and then this story. forget about the immigration proposal, there's this, kind of a big deal. i was curious about whether or not the story came out because there is another effort by the white house to contain something trump is about to do. this is almost like a shot being fired. because they're worried about -- that he was going to do something. the impression i got was no, this story is probably in the works for months.

it's kind of dated. however, it is another example of the lengths that the senior levels of this administration go to to contain the president from his worse instincts. you're seeing it with doj pressure right now. about releasing that memo that would be problematic. this example, you know, mcghan, possibly kelly. it's extremely worrisome he wanted to do it, but since the firing of comey, it does seem the infrastructure around him protects him from his worse instincts. >> in terms of the republican leadership, they supported this president a lot. went further than some might have thought. on the question of mueller, they've not gone as far as the president has. they've said no, he's an honest guy doing an honest job. is that break between the president and congressional leadership, is that in evidence here on this question of firing mueller? >> yes, i still believe that the -- there's sort of like a force around mueller, the congressional republicans, at least congressional republican leadership, are prepared to defend. again, they will say, you know,

good news/bad news. bad news he was considering this. the good news is there's another example of at least him being responsive to the people around him in not letting him do these things. >> let's check quickly on the immigration question. the white house has put out a plan. it has a path to citizenship for daca eligible recipients. 25 billion for the border wall. and extended family chain migration and end the lottery program. how's it being received? >> i think it was a very -- i don't agree with everything in the proposal but i think it was a deftly drafted piece of legislation. it far exceeds on daca anything that the critics of the administration's immigration policy thought he would go. 2 1/2 times the current daca permit holders. all these people who are eligible but never registered. i think it, you know, it makes it harder for moderate republicans like susan collins, lisa murkowski, jeff flake, to vote against it, and red state democrats, manchin, heidkamp, so

i think there's a potential to build this coalition. the risk is with the immigration hard-liners. i was hearing those from the immigration restrictionist community calling the white house and calling k ining conse republican members of congress saying wait a minute. it's one thing if you want to do a clean trade, you know, some kind of path to legal status for the current daca recipients in return for a border wall. okay, but you're going beyond that and basically amnesty. so i think them holding the h d hard-line republican restrictists in check is essential to holding this together and it will be challenging. president trump just left davos switzerland and is on his way back to washington after speaking at the world economic forum. he started his day with the president of rwanda, just two weeks after reportedly using a v vulgar term to describe some african nations.

margaret bren seasnan is in dav. margaret, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. the business elite welcomed a man who was once their top critic. the candidate who claimed that hedge fund managers were getting away with murder. well, today he was applauded by them. as a standing room only crowd heard him put a business friendly face on his america first policies. >> america is roaring back. and now is the time to invest in future of america. >> reporter: the commander in chief fashioned himself as the salesman in chief. >> now is the perfect time to bring your business, your jobs and your investments to the united states. >> reporter: over his two-day visit, the president has been trying to convince investors that his america first policies are actually good for global business. he also met today with rwanda's

president paul kak gagame. both leaders ignored questions about the president's alleged derogatory reference to migrants that caused did theic shockwaves across the continent. in an interview with a british joushallist piers morgan the president was asked to apologize for retweeting anti-muslim videos. >> if you're telling me there's horrible racist people, i would certainly apologize if you'd like me to do that. i know nothing about that. >> retweeting from britain first was the wrong thing to do. >> reporter: after prime minister theresa may said it was inappropriate to endorse the hateful videos, president trump blasted her for not focusing enough on terrorism. yesterday, he insisted the two leaders are getting along. >> i think the feeling is mutual from the standpoint of liking each other a lot. >> reporter: now, in his speech, the president did not mention china by name, but did refer to countries who he said distort financial markets with unfair

trade practices. but he made clear that he supports open markets and free trade, just called for reform of both of them. >> all right, margaret brennan in davos, thank you. president trump will deliver his state of the union address on tuesday night. live coverage at 6:00 p.m. pacific right here on cbs. the u.s. olympic committee is redemanding all usa board members resign over the larry nassar scandal. more than 120 girls accused the gymnastics team doctor of abuse. a judge sentenced nassar to up to 175 years in prison. >> the olympic committee says if board members do not resign by wednesday, the gymnastics governing board will lose its national status. 4 of the 21 board members have already stepped down. usa gymnastics said it embraces the requirements. dr. jon lapook has been following the story and joins us once again at the table. we said yesterday there was

certainly more to come. >> there certainly is. larry nassar worked for michigan state university and after his sentencing, the president stepped down. today, the michigan state board of trustees will meet and hundreds of students are expected to protest. for many, the leadership changes at usa gymnastics and michigan state university are not enough. >> what's your mess am age to t msu board? >> thank you for making it clear where you stand. >> reporter: victims rachel d y denhollander and kyle stephens told norah o'donnell they're not satisfied with the school's response, especially after trustee joel ferguson made what he later called an inadvertent comment about michigan state university president lou anna i'men. >> there's so many more things going on at the university than just this nassar thing. >> michigan state university is continuing the abuse. >> correct. >> how so? >> by not taking responsibility for their actions. they still have not issued an apology and lou anna simon, she stepped down, but her statement when she resigned was not

apologetic. >> simon did say she was sorry that a trusted renowned physician was really such an evil, evil person. and acknowledged that as president it is only natural that i am the focus of this anger. according to her contract, she's still entitled to several perks including the option to receive her $750,000 salary for a year if she returns to the faculty. that's in addition to lifetime parking passes and football tickets. >> if the right thing was done now, 20 years ago, i should have never met this sad excuse for a man. >> reporter: even as nassar's sentencing wrapped up this week, michigan state and usa gymnastics defended themselves in another court. in a federal lawsuit, victims allege neglect and other charges. describing multiple occasions in which they reported abuse as early as 1997. the defendants have asked the judge to dismiss the case, arguing state institutions like msu are generally immune from

suit. and saying usa gymnastics did not have a legal duty to report the allegations. >> everyone should have an obligation to report suspicions of child abuse or neglect. >> reporter: marissa kwiatkowski is one of reporters who first broke the news about nassar in the indianapolis star. >> failures to report child sexual abuse happen at every level. >> reporter: for years, michigan state university has been under federal oversight for having what the feds call a sexually hostile environment. michigan state university implemented changes but according to espn the government rejected its request to end the oversight due in large part to its handling of the nassar case. the u.s. department of education is now reportedly investigating michigan state university's handling the nassar complaints. you know, when an animal is under attack, it's a natural instinct to go into a defensive posture. when that instinct takes place in an institution that's

employing somebody who's accused of sexual abuse, that's a very bad instinct. what you're seeing now is that defensive posture being pried open. >> they don't have much of a defense it seems on this particular case. >> jon, thank you so much. we're learning two young mothers from two different states died soon after getting the flu. tandy harman from oregon and carly from indiana were both mothers of two. their family said they were healthy adults. the centers for disease control and prevention says the number of states with high levels of flu activity jumped from 9 to december 16th to 32 on january 13th. manu manuel bojorquez. good morning. >> reporter: this aggressive flu season is causing problems across the country. hospitals like this one have been inundated. some doctors say the medicine used to treat the flu is becoming harder to find in some spots. here, they've even put beds in conference rooms to accommodate

all the new patients. >> this is probably the worst flu season i've seen in the last ten years. >> reporter: dr. jamie snarski says the volume of new flu cases has put the medical center at full capacity. >> for some reason, these strains are hitting young healthy people a little bit harder than in past years and i'm not quite sure we know why that is yet. >> reporter: just last week, the stat saw 52 new community outbreaks, bringing the seasonal total to 159, the highest in nearly a decade. but according to federal health officials, florida is not even among the 24 states seeing the highest level of viral activity. still parts of the sunshine state are struggling to treat the virus. >> some pharmacies have been running low on the medication tamiflu. >> reporter: pediatrician seth vardy says there are other options. >> the preferred route i would say would be vaccination and we have plenty of vaccine supply. >> reporter: three children have died from the flu in florida. none was vaccinated.

12-year-old dylan winnick died tuesday. his stepfather mike says the family is stunned by how quickly the virus took him. >> no indications, no warnings, just a common cold. that's what's so scary about it. >> reporter: in one florida school district, 20% of students are out sick. classes were canceled today. so workers could scrub down the campuses. >> you got to take it very seriously, thank you very much, manny. drug companies are fighting back against state lawsuits in the battle against the deadly opoid epidemic. how they're using donations to gain access to state

this morning w this morning, we're taking a deeper dive into a story we've been following about millions of americans who may be exposed to radioactive contaminants in their drinking water. reports by the nonprofit environmental working group also known as ewg found water supplied by at least some utilities in all 50 states contained a noncarcinogen called radium. anna warner is here now with the growing focus on water safety. >> reporter: a glass of water may be harmless enough but communities around the country are increasingly faced with a concerning reality. contaminants are turning up in their drinking water and getting them out may be a lot harder than you think. in brandon, south dakota this week, concerns over water dealt with the frozen kind, a blizzard that dropped several inches of snow. >> you want to read a book? >> reporter: but residents spencer schenk and his wife laura worry more about the water

coming out of the tap, a public water supply that contains radium. >> something that's really concerning to us, a known cancer causing agent in our water. >> reporter: the radioactive substance can occur naturally and it's been in the city's water for decades. and it's not uncommon across the country. an analysis by the nonprofit environmental working group found 170 million people exposed to radium from drinking water and 22,000 utilities nationwide. brandon's radium level does not exceed federal guidelines but many health experts say there's no safe level of that carcinogen. to get that level down to zero would mean expensive modifications to the city's water treatment system. and city administrator brian reed says residents would have to decide to foot that bill. >> we are striving to get the lowest radium levels we can at a reasonable cost. you can probably get all the radium out of all the water if you're willing to spend enough

money. >> reporter: radium is just one of hundreds of contaminants found in drinking water systems nationwide. things like arsenic, cadmium and pesticides and metals including hexavalent chromium and lead. the approach to treating them can carry from city to city, state to state. in newburgh, new york, state is building a brand-new water treatment plant to remove a toxic chemical known as psos from the water supply. the pollution came from a nearby air national guard base. martin brand is with the state's environmental division. >> it's a very big deal. new york state is leading the nation, frankly. we're one of the first states in the nation to actually regulate these contaminants. >> reporter: but not all cities can afford a major overhaul of their treatment systems. so what's a consumer to do if they want cleaner safer water at home? >> i think it can be really daunting for consumers to try to understand these issues with

water. >> reporter: rick andrew works for a group that tests and certified products including water filtration systems. if i want to treat my water at home, how much is this going to cost me? >> it's a great question and there's really a wide, wide range. >> reporter: a simple filtering water pitcher could be $30. a whole house system, a couple thousand dollars. and it's important to find out from your utility which contaminants are in your water and get the right system. >> it's definitely not a one size fits all thing when you start to get into water treatment, and so some technologies are good at one time of contaminants but they're not very effective on others so oftentimes people end up with a multistage system. >> reporter: sounds complicated. >> absolutely it can be. >> reporter: back in brandon, the city's decisions on treating that radium are likely to take a year or more. >> this is the system we put in to our home. >> reporter: but spencer schenk isn't waiting. he's installed two types of water treatment systems in his

home. to make sure his 2-year-old daughter and 3-month-old twins don't absorb carcinogens along with their h2o. >> we just want a clean sustainable water source. >> we checked our own water supply in new york city. and found six contaminants detected at levels either higher than the national average or hire than some health advisories. now, ewg is one resource, you can plug in your zip code there. you can also check your consumer confidence report, which lists what's in your water system. or you can call your local utility to find out what's in your water system. >> in some previous places i've lived in, there was radium in those water systems which means i was drinking it too. >> now people are going to plug it in, everybody saying what's my zip code again. >> can you tweet out the correct address if anybody wants to check what that is? >> absolutely. i think it's really eye-opening

♪ good morning to our viewers in the west. as friday, january 26th, 2018 welcome back to "cbs this morning." president trump rejects a report he tried to fire robert mueller. only on "cbs this morning," senate judiciary committee member cory booker reacts to the story and we're counting down to the grammys and revealing their music educator of the year. first here's today's "eye opener" at 8:00. >> president trump is dismissing a stunning new report that says he ordered the firing of robert mueller seven months ago. >> white house officials argued with mr. trump not to take any punitive action against special counsel robert mueller. >> this could be used as evidence in the special counsel's investigation as to whether the president obstructed

justice. >> the republicans saying that this is a bombshell report? what are they saying? >> it is another example of the lengths that senior levels of this administration go to contain the president from his worse instincts. >> the business elite here welcomed a man once their top critic as a standing room only crowd heard him put a business friendly face on his america first policy. >> michigan state board of trustees will meet and hundreds of students are expected to protest. for many the leadership changes at usa fwim nastics and michigan state university are not enough. >> some optimistic news. yesterday north korea suggested it would like to reunite with south korea. [ applause ] >> yeah, why not. >> yeah. i think something is up because today south korea gave north korea its netflix password. [ applause ] i'm norah o'donnell with gayle king and john dickerson.

president trump wrapped up his two day visit to davos, switzerland, this morning. he told the world economic form the u.s. is ready to do business but not with countries that cheat. >> we support free trade but it needs to be fair and it needs to be reciprocal. because in the end, unfair trade undermines us all. >> the president faces new outrage at home over a story first reported by "the new york times." it says that mr. trump ordered special counsel robert mueller to be fired back in june. the president reportedly backed down only after white house counsel don mcgahn threatened to resign. >> this morning president trump called the story fake news and said on wednesday he's looking forward to speaking with the special counsel mueller. only on cbs this morning, democratic senator cory booker of new jersey is with us from capitol hill. he's a member of the senate judiciary committee investigating russian interference in the 2016

election. senator, good morning. let's start with this report about the president. so he was worried about a conflict of interest, but the fact is, he didn't fire mueller, so why is this a big deal? >> well, it's a big deal because that effort or that thought about doing so would really plunge our country into a constitutional crisis. to fire the special prosecutor after the fact pattern we're seeing about the firing of the fbi director presents a problem for our nation as a whole to have an unaccountable president undermining actively undermining an ongoing investigation into his administration and his campaign where a number of close allies and associates have already faced indictment, have already faced serious levels of investigation. >> but -- >> go ahead, john. >> he didn't do anything. you at one point worked with lindsey graham to protect the special counsel. are you going to renew your effort to put forward

legislation to do that? >> we've been persistent on our efforts and we have a lot of bipartisan support for even the fact that chuck grassley would hold a hearing on this legislation. the reality is we are in a position right now where should the president order the firing of the special prosecutor, we really have no check or balance on his power. this is something that is clearly needed right now and frankly something that i think would be needed in future generations so that there would be an independent overview of the president's power to remove a special prosecutor. you have to understand, right now, there is no check, there is no presidential accountability. and we believe that should lie with the judiciary. so we have a president who has shown his tendencies to do things in what i believe are an authoritarian and anti-democratic manner and we need to make sure we ensure what the founders of our nation really design, a series of checks and balances so that the power of the presidency doesn't

really undermine the sanctity in many ways of the republic. and that the president himself is not above the law. >> one of the things he was apparently was concerned about was a possible conflict of interest because robert mueller, he says, and james comey are friends. does he have a point? >> no. i mean, what you have seen is, okay, we are hearing now that the president had intended to fire the special prosecutor. in addition to that now, we've seen a great pattern amongst republicans, especially house republicans as well as the white house, to try to undermine the integrity of someone that when they were announced, it was uninimty, in fact a quieting that happened in congress because of the respect of this person. yet we've seen these persistent attacks to try to undermine the credibility, to try to undermine the work and that to me is unacceptable. this is somebody who has shown not only their ability and the capacity to do this investigation in an independent way with consistent integrity,

but to do so, again, also shakes people's faiths in our institutions. and so we should let the special prosecutor do their job and preserve their independence by putting in checks and balances like the legislation proposed by me and lindsey graham. >> it seems the president will go along and talk to the special counsel so maybe that threat has passed. let me ask you a question about immigration. the president has put forward a bill increasing the number of d.r.e.a.m.ers who would be able to stay in the united states. why not take that? >> well, again, most of us would take that if it stood alone, that we have a pathway to citizenship for these folks who are american citizens in every single way except for a piece of paper. they've served in our military, pledged allegiance to our flag, fought our schools, entre nurs and created jobs. what is offensive about the president's proposal he wants to put tens of billions of dollars at a time when our country is screaming for infrastructure investment, many of the best

experts on homeland security do not believe we need. money for 19th century technology at a time that we could use 21st century technology, less expensive to protect our borders. there's not a senator in congress that doesn't want secure borders. but the way this president is going about it seems to be more about a campaign promise and rhetoric than what's best to secure this country. to use d.r.e.a.m.ers, again fellow americans in every way for a piece of paper -- >> would you support the bill if it was $10 billion for a wall? >> i want to finish my sentence. to use them as a political pawn right now is to me reprehensible when everyone knows these kids are suffering, they're in severe anxiety up-ending their education and work. i don't want to back myself -- use this moment to negotiate this out but i know this current proposal and the idea of billions of dollars for a wall is unacceptable to me. >> senator booker, thank you so much for joining juice we'll bring you the president's state of the union here on cbs tuesday

night at 6:00 pacific. john, gayle and i will lead coverage from new york and jeff glor angers from washington. our political team will provide analysis and reporting. senator tammy duckworth will soon become the first senator to give birth while in office. earlier this week she announced she's expecting her second child and she is almost seven months pregnant due this spring. the 49-year-old retired army colonel lost both legs serving in iraq and spoke with nancy cordes for sunday's "face the nation" about why she chose to open up. >> it was a difficult pregnancy conceiving abigail, ten years of trying and three years of ivf. with this baby i had a miscarriage and multiple cycles again. i want to be honest because there are so many families out there struggling with infertility issues and as more women deal with fertility issues and trying to balance their career and their personal lives and put off pregnancy until

later i wanted people to know this is far more common than people realize and we all struggle. >> what did your doctor say to you about the chances of getting pregnant at 49? >> he said it's the new 40. he said 50-year-old mom is the new 40. >> i like that. you can watch nancy's interview with senator tammy duckworth on "face the nation" sunday here on cbs. 50 the new 40. it will be your first sunday not at "face the nation." will you know what to do when you wake up? >> wake up and watch nancy. >> i am too. i am too. >> hope solo says american soer is keeping many talented athletes off the field. we'll talk to the legendary goalkeeper about her bid to be

a remarkable trial nearly 60 years in the making unfolded in south texas. former priest john feit was charged with murdering a young woman who went to church to give a confession back in 1960. prosecutor says it took so long to bring feit to court because the catholic church inspired with local authorities to cover up the crime. "48 hours" has been covering irene garza's case. richard schlesinger has the story of a murder nobody could forget. >> this is a case about betrayal and murder and a cover-up. and you're going to find out that the man who did this is john feit. >> reporter: prosecutor mike garza is not part of irene garza's family but the story of her 1960 murder has been part of the history of mccallen, texas, for generations.

>> grew up a legend about a girl that went to confession and never left. >> reporter: irene was accomplished and admired, went to college, graduate school, and became a schoolteacher. she went to church regularly and that's where she was last seen. following a massive search, her body was discovered in a canal. she had been beaten, sexually assaulted, and suffocated. police had grown suspicious of the 27-year-old priest when he said a view finder found at the crime scene was his. feit also gave different accounts about that night and he had some injuries from the night irene disappeared. >> scratches that ran vertically down his hands, on the top of his arms. >> reporter: despite the evidence, the case grew cold. years passed. there were rumors that some type of deal had been made between the church and authorities but there was never definitive

proof. until now. says the prosecutor. daryl davis is one of the key witnesses. he was a television reporter at the time of irene's murder and he says there was an off-the-record meeting with the then d.a. robert latimore. >> he said, we know that father feit killed irene garza and the church knows that he killed irene garza. he said, the church is going to put him in a monastery for disturbed or troubled priests and he will be kept there for the rest of his life. >> you won't hear evidence of corruption. what you will hear is, lack of probable cause. >> reporter: defense attorney flores believes john feit was never prosecuted because of a lack of evidence, not a conspiracy. >> is there any evidence of dna? the evidence will show no. there wasn't enough evidence,

there won't be enough evidence now. >> mr. schlesinger joins us at the table. good morning. >> good morning. >> you see that little old guy sitting at the table and it would be hard for the jury to make the connection. >> that is what the prosecute was worried about. he looks like everybody's grandfather and they're trying to paint him as a really horrible killer. >> what's the new evidence? >> well, there is a bunch of new evidence. the most interesting one is a letter that they found in just a stack of documents that they didn't expect to find which they're calling -- the prosecution is calling a smoking gun that proves a conspiracy between the church and the authorities at the time to cover this whole thing up, get this guy out of town and move on. >> did he end up in a monastery? >> he ended up in a series of monasteries and we'll talk about that in the story tomorrow. they short of shuffled him around as was the practice back then. >> he got married, right? >> he got married and had kids. he's a grandfather. you look at him and it's hard to see him.

>> i bet the garza family doesn't feel that way. >> they do not. that's a great part of the story, the persistence of that family. >> right. >> stuck with this almost 60 years. >> thank you very much, richard. you can see richard's full report it's called "sins of the father" on "48 hours" tomorrow night right here on cbs.

[chuckling] over at the golden gate bridge, we have seen it get completely

socked in with fog and now we are starting to see some improvement. eastshore freeway in the green 18 minutes towards the macarthur maze. and then we're in the yellow 15 minutes into san francisco. let check in with neda on the forecast. >> this is the view of the golden gate bridge but right now you can see low clouds over it. not even seeing the tops of the bridge at all. so yes, san francisco seems to be covered in that low-lying fog. here's another view of the city. it's cool out there right now. 45 degrees in san francisco. livermore at 37. so in the 30s and 40s this morning and that's why the fog is actually forming. temperatures have reached the dew point in livermore down to zero visibility there. same with petaluma, napa also it is very low li so definitely take your time. temperatures for the afternoon will be in the mid- to upper 50s so below average for san francisco and oakland today. high pressure will be taking over our forecast area so that means dry and warmer weather on the way.

alleging wage discrimination. her time with the team came to an explosive end in the 2016, u.s. soccer terminated her contract after she made negative comments about an opposing team. solo has launched a bid to lead the u.s. soccer federation running to be the organization's first female president and bring a platform of change. hope solo joins us now. hope, good to see you again. >> thank you. it's good to see you. >> think about everything. now you're running for president of this organization. what are you running on? what's your platform? >> well you have to understand that for 20 years during my career i fought for change within the system. i fought for gender equity, i fought against injustices and it -- we weren't really getting anywhere. this became a natural step for me to really, really continue that fight, to run for president and really get inside the organization and force the

change we've been fighting 20 years to do. it was really important for me. my platform is really focused on youth development. u.s. soccer has $15 million in surplus funds and they don't put it back to the youth of america. and so it's become this sport here in america that is dedicated to the rich white kid and we are excluding so many potential great youth players. >> you're saying -- you -- and you were not one of the rich white kids as you point out in your platform, you would have been one of the kids that would have been excluded? you want to make it affordable and accessible what does that mean? >> u.s. soccer's mission statement is to make soccer the preeminent sport here in the united states. we can't do that unless we make it accessible and affordable for every young kid in america. right now, it's business first over progress at the heart of the federation and we have to go back to really making soccer a

beautiful culture here in america and in order to do that we have to invite people to play. we cannot exclude them. >> what does that mean in practical terms? i'm a parent f i'm in the suburb and have the time and money to buy the equipment is that what it is? getting fields where kids are. >> young kids are continuing to grow. it costs between 5,000 to $11,000 per year for a young kid in travel expenses to -- just for registration fees and most kids can't afford it anymore. so it really -- it has to be addressed and it doesn't happen anywhere in other country and all of the rest world is better at soccer. they are allowing the young kids to play without having these excessive fees. >> you are running to lead an organization that terminated your contract. do you have the internal support to win? >> i have a great amount of support through the state associations, through youth soccer, through adult soccer. there are a number of different

voting delegates. it's not just the board members at u.s. soccer and not just, you know, the current leadership within the federation. soccer is important to a lot of people and a lot of people have voting rights to this election. >> i saw your support. i watched you when you gave your speech as to why you wanted this job. you had a lot of support but haters too that said she's a great athlete but not a great role model. what do you say to that, when people talk about what's happened to you off the field? >> i've san said things that made people uncomfortable, haven't always been plittically correct. you have to be able to get through adversity. some of the greatest global leaders that i have met have been able to get through adversity and found a better way to lead. so yes, i've been through some things off the field, but it's only made me a better leader and a better person. so i'm done apologizing for them, i have learned from them, and, you know, i think it's important that we all do the same. >> hope, just quickly, we were -- we first met during the

"60 minutes" piece about women trying to win equality and pay with the men's team. do they have equal pay yet. >> we do not. there's been a new cba, a new contract between the women's team and the federation and it is still not equal. unfortunately, the federation tries to convo loud it to the general public saying it's equitable, but it's -- what's equitable mean. that's the same thing as equal. really, we're still not there yet and that is another part of my platform is gender equality. >> madam president has a nice ring to you. >> thank you. >> all right. hope. >> thank you. >> thank you very much. >> we will be following. >> recording academy named the winner of this year's grammy music educator award but her students tell michele miller she always has been their champion. >> you could still meet a person that is so important in your life and that will teach you a bunch of things about life and
