leadership. we're on capitol hill. jeff, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. police in this city are bracing for those 500,000 people to gather here today for this rally in the five and a half weeks since the shooting in parkland at the high school, students have become activists and they've been successful, keeping the gun control debate in the headlines as it will be today with this protest, which will be one of the biggest in washington in recent memory. >> at a concert to benefit gun control groups last night, some of the stoneman douglas students took to the stage, their message, the push to tighten gun laws doesn't end with today's rally. >> go back home, you go make a change, write your congressman, do all that, make a difference in the world. because this can't happen again. >> the seeds of their activism were planted in a mass shooting back on february 14th when

suspected shooter nicolas cruz opened fire at their florida high school. cruz used a legally purchased assault weapon in the shooting but the 19-year-old had been on the radar including multiple tips that he might have been planning a school shooting. the students began their campaign of pressuring leaders on gun control. >> every politician that is taking from the nra, shame on you. >> students around the country have vocontinued this call. one month to the day after the shooting thousands of students nationwide participated in a walkout from their school. the poll out this morning finds americans by an almost 2 to 1 margin support young people speaking out on guns and safety. >> we're the next generation who's going to get to vote, so we're going to be able to vote if they don't do anything to protect us. >> students from around the country are gathering here as part of a student led movement that began in the days and hours

after the shooting. >> how many days has it been? five, four? >> not ern. three. >> this all started at my house. we've just been there. >> how about emma? >> i haven't seen her in like 20 minutes. >> the original goals of never again were to be one center where we could all be together and grieve and demand change in one spot. >> we were trying to focus on what would get the most people behind us. who could we send out to what interview. >> everybody's on computers, everybody's making calls. everybody's trying. >> organizers of today's march are calling on congress to ban the sale of assault weapons and high capacity magazines and tighten background checks to prevent dangerous individuals from buying guns online or at gun shows, but not all of those affected think this is the best way forward. andrew pollak says school security to be the priority.

>> it's great they have a voice, you know, i feel their pain. but if they're going to concentrate on gun control, i think they're wasting their time. what we need right now in this country is school safety. >> reporter: and there are a number of so-called sibling marchs planned for cities across the country today similar to what's happening here, but not as big. just to give you an idea how savvy the organizers are, they have set up voting registration booths. that is their way of making lasting change based on what's happening here today. >> yeah, clearly not just one day. thank you, jeff. well, cbs will have live reports from today's march as well as on cbsn, our 24 hour streaming newschannel and our special documentary 39 days will air tonight at 8:00, 7:00 central right here on cbs. president trump signed a

$1.3 trillion spending bill friday avoiding another government shutdown but just hours earlier the president acknowledged he was considering vetoing the measure. >> the white house helped negotiate it, mr. trump said he was disappointed in the spending deal because it doesn't fully fund his border wall or address the so-called dreamers. young immigrants brought to the country illegally as children. we're in west palm beach, florida, where the president is spending the weekend. >> reporter: sources tell cbs news that paul ryan was surprised by president's veto threat, so he called him to convince him to sign the bill. president trump said he relented because of increased funding for the military. >> mr. president, why threatening to veto? >> reporter: he departed for his florida resort after he threatened to veto but then eventually signed a spending bill to avoid a government shutdown. >> there are a lot of things that i'm unhappy about in this bill. >> reporter: the president

begrudgingly approved the $1.3 trillion federal spending measure even though he was not pleased with the final numbers. >> while we're very disappointed in the 1.3 trillion, nobody more disappointed than me because the number is so large. >> reporter: he said he looked seriously at vetoing the budget agreement but decided to sign it because of its $60 billion increase in defense spending. >> we had no choice but to fund our military. because we have to have by far the strongest military in the world. >> reporter: the spending bill fell short of the president's $18 billion request for his border wall. he also noted that the more than 2,200 page bill was sent to the white house for his signature hours before the shutdown deadline. >> i say to congress, i will never sign another bill like this again. i'm not going to do it again. nobody read it. it's only hours old.

>>orreside ignores the fact that white house aides and congressional leaders led the negotiations on the bill. the few lawmakers remaining on capitol hill before the start of a two-week recess reacted to the president's veto threat with surprise. >> we're trying to give 18 months of certainty which everybody needs for the president to threaten to move us away from certainty to more chaos and confusion is foolish. >> i don't think what we did was the best thing we could have done, but it was the only thing we could have done. so to veto it wouldn't make a lot of sense to me. >> reporter: now, president trump late last night did follow through on a different threat issuing a memo disqualifying those who are transgender from serving in the military. this applies to those who are seeking surgery or medical treatment and it only makes exceptions in very limited circumstances. the white house says those with gender identity disorders pose a considerable risk to military

effectiveness, but we should note this will not take immediate effect because of multiple court injunctions. >> thanks, errol. well, the lawyer representing adult film actress stormy daniels says he sent a warning shot to president trump. daniels is suing mr. trump over a confidentiality agreement tha 2016 presidential election. daniels' lawyer tweeted an image of what looked like a cd or dvd with the caption, if a picture is worth a thousand words, how many words is this worth? he says that the disk contains evidence proving daniels' claims about her alleged affair with mr. trump. stormy daniels talks with anderson cooper tomorrow night on 60 minutes here on cbs. and it's been another busy week at the white house with trade tensions and more personnel changes and here to discuss that is ileana plot, a staff writer. good morning. >> good morning. >> we have a long list, let's

start with the $1.3 trillion spending bill which the president called ridiculous, threatened to veto but then signed. is the republican party having a very difficult time coming up with a unified message here? >> absolutely and i think this spending bill in particular, you have conservatives like the freedom caucus wondering if they are an ally in the white house anymore. the one who urged president trump to veto this bill and when he ultimately did it they wonder if the whole drain the swamp message is ultimately a farce. >> i'm curious about china and these tariffs and the pushback as well. china is already announcing some counterretaliatory efforts here and are we really headed toward a trade war? >> i think china's message was the most pertinent message we've heard yet of getting closer to a trade war. they know that these tariffs were intended to hit them. trump of course unveiled the exempted countries which was a long lust, notely missing of

course was china, so i think to wonder about a trade war is not at all overstating what these tariffs mean. >> let's look at the west wing here, because we've had continuing shakeup. the latest h.r. mcmaster, international security advisor out, john bolton coming in. duds this signal an aggressive shift in foreign policy. >> absolutely, because i think you know, not only with john bolton coming in who is of course, you know, a really prolific hawkish views on war, but you have rex tillerson being replaced with mike pompeo who is also quite a hawkish politician. so at terms of advancing an aggressive stance on war i think that's the message the this white house is sending. >> what do you think the president is trying to achieve? >> what i've been today is that trump is moving towards seeing the white house like he did trump organization where if one day le's unhappy with someone he feels he retains the right to let him go immediately and shake

things up until he feels comfortable for however str nee. unfortunately though there are political consequences to that especially going into a summit with north korea. if it looks as though our own white house is not politically stable week to week, that's not the best message to put forth. >> when you mention north korea, this announcement of john bolton was like the end of days for some people announcing that he's coming in. but do you really think there's no question, there's going to be a more aggressive stance on north korea and on iran? >> i don't think it's no question necessarily. think in the leadup to john bolton's appointment over h.r. mcmaster hae had been putting forth messages that he was open to talks with north korea. a cynic might say this was his ploy to get the position more quickly but i don't think necessarily that, you know, it's completely without question that we're going to suddenly go into nuclear war with north korea,

for instance. >> tomorrow, the stormy daniels interview will air. this is a subject which so far the president really hasn't touched. is it touching him is the question? >> i don't think so at all because i think what he realizes and what his aides are able to communicate to him this doesn't impact his base at all. there are very few trump supporters, even those who are tough toward the president who are surprised that stormy daniels is something we're talking about. however you want to feel about that, it's not something that his base is going to take into consideration in midterm elections or even to re-elect him in 2020. >> thanks so much for being with us this morning. >> thanks for having me. french authorities announce that policeman that took the place of a hostage has died. that raises the death toll on friday's attack to four. 15 others were injured.

ufc told there was no sign of any traumatic injury. >> reporter: mexican officials are investigating with some speculating there could have been a gas leak in the condo. the tragedy is the latest in a list of concerns about the state of tourists with popular destinations like cancun and tulum. it's estimated 17 million people visit each year, nearly half from the u.s. in offering condolences mexican tourism officials sought to portray the sharp family deaths as an isolated incident. for cbs this morning saturday, miami. >> this may be the first weekend of spring. millions of americans will have to deal with a lot of snow. a fast moving storm system continues from canada to kentucky. meteorologist is tracking this storm. good morning. >> we're taking a look at the snow that stretches across the

stand now. david, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, anthony. we started eed our journey by reaching out to social media to asked what are the must see spots. we set out to san juan to look at what's been done and the conditions that still exist. over 45 hours, we made it to 7 municipalities and got a sense of what it's like on the island right now. we started in cadas. they are starting to don vests and direct traffic. this guy is an example, we're told. just helping out. his name is william koto. he's been directing traffic here since november. even the police officers stop and follow his directions. and the drivers tip him. from here we headed to l.a. peidras. a woman said you've got to see what conditions my bedridden father has been living in for sixth months. hello, i'm david. nice to meet you.

we met the santana sisters who introduced us to their 90-year-old father who's been in this bed for three years. and with no electricity for six months. he feels warm to the touch. on this day there wasn't much of a breeze. mr. santana felt damp. his breathing was labored. the day before we arrived, someone brought a solar panel system that allows them to have the light we have in the room. allows them to operate this respiratory machine. you must have been really happy when they brought this. >> of course. of course we are, yeah. so grateful for the response. more or less we're surviving. but it's not easy. >> reporter: 95% of the electrical customers in puerto rico have power. but 93,000 people still do not. >> david, welcome back to puerto rico. >> reporter: we met colonel jason kirk. he's leading the u.s. army corps

a suicide prevention hotline center near san juan reports the number of suicide-related calls to the hotline more than doubled from august to january. from jabucoa we headed west to the mountains of utuato where thousands of people still do not have power or water. did you ever think about leaving? >> puerto rico? >> reporter: yeah. >> no. >> reporter: no? >> no. this is my island. i can't leave it. >> reporter: after maria, the bridge here was wiped out. some locals were stuck for nearly six months. but a week ago, a new bridge opened. our last stop was umacau. by the light of day, it looks like paradise. but it's a living hell if you ask people that live here. we saw these people on the edge of the road with buckets. they come to this faucet to get water. they don't have it where they live and haven't had it for six months. from there we went to meet luis

people who have share. and seems appropriate that if we are here and we are living here amongst the people, that we can share with what we have. >> david, a lot of people helping each other down there. some good things happening, but slowly. >> yeah, slowly. here's the good news. the shelves at the supermarket are stocked. no more lines to get gas or at the bank. overall crime, down about 20%. however, murders just since january 1st, an alarming spike. 150 already. >> incredible. you looked at the power lines downed. some people would say why not just bury them? >> the army colonel said his dad asked him that. we don't have the authority because we can only do emergency repairs. if we did that, it would take two years or more to get the lights back on. >> it's interesting about the military down there that they can repair and replace but can't upgrade. they have an opportunity, but can't. >> and they said to us the grid

is not going to be stronger or better than it was for the next hurricane season, but we at least hope to have repaired everything that needed to be when the season starts june 1st. >> three months away. hard to believe. all right. david begnaud, thank you for joining us. >> you bet. well, facebook was updating the status of its own timeline, it would need a sad looking emoji. up next we'll look at the major challenges the social network challenges after a data scandal sparked a user revolt and could lead to government regulation. you're watching "cbs this morning saturday." ♪ hi, i'm bob harper, and i recently had a heart attack. it changed my life. but i'm a survivor. after my heart attack, my doctor prescribed brilinta. it's for people who have been hospitalized for a heart attack. brilinta is taken with a low-dose aspirin. no more than 100 milligrams as it affects how well brilinta works. brilinta helps keep platelets from sticking together and forming a clot.
