4:03 am
>> on "cbs this morning: saturday." >> i don't want to say it's meant to distract from his other problems, but it's called operation desert stormy. and welcome to the weekend, evan. i'm anthony mason along with reena ninan. for the second time in his presidency donald trump has authorized a military strike against syria. in response to the assad regime. last night skies over the capital damascus lit up as u.s., british, and french warplanes launched air strikes against chemical weapons research and storage operations. >> the operation was the size of the one launched a year ago against a syrian airfield. president trump announced the attacks from the white house late last night. he describes bashir al assad as a monster and he had a message
4:04 am
for two of syria's biggest supporters. >> to iran and russia, i ask, who wants to be associated with someone who is involved in massacres of men, women, and children. >> seth doane is the only u.s. network correspondent in syria, but our coverage will begin this morning with david martin live at the pentagon. david, good morning. >> good morning. this strike came after a week of speculation about what president trump would do after last weekend's chemical attack. it's the second time he has attacked syria for its use of chemical weapons. only this time the u.s. did not fight alone. british jets could be seen taking off from the island of cyprus at the beginning of a raid in which the u.s. and its allies fired more than 120
4:05 am
precision-guided weapons. >> tonight france, the united kingdom, and the united states took decisive action to strike. >> they said it was a one-time shot in retaliation for last weekend's chemical attacks on civilians in the suburbs of damascus. long-range missiles were fired from ships, targets, and aircraft. >> important infrastructure was destroyed which will result in a setback for the syrian regime. they'll lose research of development and data, specialized equipment and precursors. the first target was a scientific research center located the greater damascus area. this military facility was a syrian center for the research, development, production, and testing of chemical and
4:06 am
biological warfare technology. >> reporter: dunford said they also attacked a chemical weapons storage facility. >> it's west of holmes. we assessed this was the primary area for sarin. the next facility contained a chemical weapons storage facility and an important command post. >> reporter: dunford said the targets were chosen to minimize civilian casualties. the russians were not given any specific warning that a strike was coming. the russian ambassador to the u.s. condemned the strikes saying we warned that such actions will not be left without consequences. a u.s. official said all aircraft returned safely to their bases. intelligence is still examining reconnaissance photos to
4:07 am
determine whether targets were completely destroyed. now we turn to seth doane in syria this morning. he was in damascus, the capital, when the allied air strike zbans. he has more. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. these strikes should not have come as a surprise, but as we have been reporting from damascus for the last couple of days, we heard from a number of people who told us they believed these strikes simply might hapen. many others who believe there wasn't a basis for these strikes. still, it was a sleepless night last night in the capital city. >> the coalition of air strikes lit up the sky over damascus as we were reporting live. it's been quite a morning watching both the anti-aircraft fire and flares going through the skies and hearing the air strikes. >> reporter: this facility was
4:08 am
left in ruins early this morning. >> i don't sleep after that. >> reporter: residents just next door told us they were jolted awake around 4:00 a.m. they opened the windows so they wouldn't break, this woman told us. protesters quickly took to the streets this morning in defiance. we're not scared of the american missiles, this protester said. we were in the square, not in the shelters. and syria's prop began gamma clean was up and running early too releasing video of a seemingly relaxed president bashir al assad ambling into a buildinget at a bakery this morning this woman described how her house shook and what she heard. i couldn't tell what was going on, she said. i saw the flames and the fire.
4:09 am
despite the flame and destruction, we're hearing from all sides. they're saying these strikes are a farce as long as bashir al assad stays in power. anthony? >> seth doane live. thank you, seth. we turn to a former national security council director. doug, good morning. >> good morning, anthony. >> you were on the national security council for both the bush and obama administrations. what do you think went into the strike? >> the point of the nsc is to take complicated issues, turn them into relatively simple policies. this probably came down to two relatively simple questions. one, do we believe that the assad regime did conduct these attacks, which it appears we clearly do. and, two, if so, what did they do. what we're trying to do is steer between two things we did not
4:10 am
want. we did not want the strikes to be weak enough that they did not change the regime's calculus, but on the other hand we did not want them to be heavy enough that they crossed russian and possibly iranian headlines. >> we heard mattis say last night he didn't think there was enough time. do you think it's a strong enough of a deterrent. >> only time will tell. we will see. i think what we're objectively trying to do is change the regime's calculus, make it so while you may get military gain from these chemical strikes, what we will do to you in return makes that objectively not worth it. that the punishment that will be inflicted outweighs any gains you get from those attacks. but we'll see if that kind of rational calculus appeals to the regime. >> this is the second time the
4:11 am
trump administration has launched attacks against syria, responding to chemical weapons. how does this attack differ from the last one, which was in april 2018? >> i think it differs in two ways. it was a little bit bigger. we're told they used twice as many munition this time. it was focused on the chemical infrastructure that some of us find still existed. chemical weapons, research facilities, storage facilities fee was on that infrastructure. >> that last attack last year, 59 tomahawk missiles placed on the air base. what to you think russia's response will be to this? >> that is the big question. all the briefings last night were very careful to point out this was not about engaging the russians, that measures were taken to avoid russian casualties, but i think the only
4:12 am
answer to that is we will see whether it crosses their red line or if they respond in some asymmetric kind of way. doug, thanks for joining us. >> pleasure, reena. the war of words between president trump and james comey this week. mr. trump lashed out on comey's tell-all book saying, quote, proven leaker and a liar. michael cohen is in court on a possible krgs investigation that could also implicate the president. mola lenghi is in the white house. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. we're learning they negotiated another payoff. one abruptly resigned after he acknowledged that he paid $1.6 million to a former "playboy" model after she said that he got her pregnant, but the day began with the latest revelations from
4:13 am
james comey. ing. >> i was floating above myself looking down saying, you're sitting here briefing the incoming president of the united states about prostitutes in moscow. >> reporter: in his new memoir, former fbi director james comey calls the president obsessed and the russians filled him with prostitutes in a russian hotel room and an infamous dossier, something the president has denied. >> i don't know whether they peed on the president in 2013. >> he called the behavior he witnessed disturbing but short of being illegal. president trump fired back called comey a weak and slime ball. >> the american people say right through the blatant lies of a
4:14 am
leaker. >> michael cohen is trying to prevent them from seeing doumtds after raids at his home, hotel room and office monday. >> it's a disgraceful situation. it's a total witch hunt. >> agents used search warrants on multiple different accounts maintained by cohen but not concerning mr. trump. sources say cohen is known to tape conversations with people. some of the evidence may include those recordings. cohen has been under criminal investigation for months, zeroing in on his personal business dealings. he's already under investigation for paying $130,000 to adult film star daniels who alleged she had a sexual encounter with mr. trump in 2006. the payment made shortly before the 2016 election could have violated campaign finance laws.
4:15 am
cohen's attorneys are asking the judge to block it. stormy daniels attorney, michael avenatti. >> clearly michael cohen was his longtime attorney and effectively probably knows where all the bodies are buried as they say. and in the event that michael cohen is ultimately charged, that could pose significant and very, very serious problems for the president of the united states. >> yesterday the justice department's internal watchdog released a dam ning memo on mccabe. the report kaitz indicates he m them. mccabe like comey, kept detailed conversations with the president, notes he handed over. president trump issued a
4:16 am
pardon to scooter libby. in a statement he said he had been treated unfairly by the special counsel. libby was convicted in 2007 of lying investigators and lying to a justice. that involved a leak regarding a cia officer valerie plame. he spared libby prison time. quite a week in michigan. let's take a look at thaul with sabrina sadequee with the political guardian. good morning. >> good morning. >> what kind of response is that getting? >> unlike last year where there was widespread support expressed for the president's action in syria when he tomb similar retaliatory strikes against assad's regime over the use of chemical weapons, there's a little bit of a split. you do have republicans expressing support for the president's action, but democrats, many of them, are
4:17 am
arguing that he needs to come to congress for approval first. these are some initial targets strikes, but there's a potential to draw the u.s. into a more protracted contract, and for that, he would need more authorization for military forces passed by lawmakers in washington. we also know, turning to another topic, the president trump's attorney michael cohen, is under criminal investigation. roy do you know about that? where do you see this going? >> this is one of the more complicated matters for the president because michael cohen is his long-time attorney and we have been looking at allegations of campaign finance violations or even bank fraud that were made in relation to the hush money that he had paid to daniels, a six-figure sum that is obviously now well known. there is also an investigation into a business deal. i think more importantly is where does the president factor into this.
4:18 am
he was on the phone with michael cohen just yesterday, and if michael cohen is under criminal investigation, he could be under surveillance. and so what conversations has the president had, and what legal peril could that expose the president to at a time when he is already, of course, contending with the special counsel investigation into russian interference. >> "new york times" is reporting this morning aides to the presidency, see this as a greater threat to the president than the mueller probe. >> it could well be. we don't know what conversations he could have had with cohen who's a long-time fixer in manhattan. >> he describes himself as that. >> he describes himself as a fixer, trying to help do away with anything that may kafts a negative light on the president. and you've seen apparently that he's willing to pay to do so. i think that the question is whether there are recordings between michael cohen and the president. he was known to record a lot of his conversations.
4:19 am
as well as there may be your lapel because anything that could be uncovered could be referred back to robert mueller and his team. and so this could be a lot more complicated even if it seems like -- >> what do you make? what is the message he's trying to send? >> there are some daermg this as possibly a message to those who have been indicted in the mueller investigation to hang tight, don't cooperate with the special counsel, that the president may have your back if you're paul manafort, if you're some of the other individuals facing some of these very serious charges. ily was also a lit bit of a nod to james comey, an effort to poke him because he was the deputy attorney general who appointed the special counsel at the time who prosecuted scooter libby. there is, of course, this escalating war of words some of
4:20 am
the timing is very suspect, especially if you look at a lot of harsh words the president has had. tomorrow morning on "face the nation," margaret brennan's guests will incline senator tim kaine, democrat of virginia. well, there's a lot of cleaning up to do this morning in western a after a suspected tornado. at least four people were injured friday when fierce winds struck. >> oh, my god, oh, my god, oh, my god. >> police say it toppled trees, damaged buildings and downed power lines. in oklahoma, a state of merge has been declared in more than 50 counties as firefighters struggle to contain four fast-moving wildfires. about 1,400 people have been forced to evacuate. the fires have been blamed for
4:21 am
at least one death. low humidity coupled with 50-mile-per-hour wind gusts are expected to fuel the fires again today. and friday's snow in minneapolis could be just a taste of what's to come this weekend for other parts of the state. power crews are on standby and airlines warn of extensive delays. blitz ard warnings are posted from northern kansas to southern minnesota. ed curran is tracking all this from our station wbbm-tv. good morning. >> good morning. this is the system we're looking at as it brings storms to the north, snow to the south and everything in between. we'll start here. this is where the blizzard warning is. we could see up to a foot of snow. the heavy winds driving the snow, the main concern, winter storm warnings for parts of wisconsin and michigan as well tochl the south, the fire
4:22 am
weather warnings are up for oklahoma, texas, driven by the high winds there. and finally another day with severe weather possible in the south. we have an enhanced risk of severe damaging wind, large hail, and tornadoes possible. anthony? >> meteorologist ed curran of our chicago station wbbm-tv. thanks, ed. there are new clues into the death of a large family from washington state whose suv went off a cliff last month. police say jennifer hart was legally drunk. her spouse and children took a significant drug that causes drowsiness. eight people were in the suv. the plunge was intentional and happened days after washington state started an investigation over allegations that the children were being neglected. it's about 22 after the hour. now here's a look at the weather for your weekend.

4:26 am
4:27 am
you're talking about essential power grabs. what can the world do? >> i think we're normalizing this and thinking this is just a step, and what's really happening is there are leaders reacting to something that is happening within societies. people are not happy, that's for sure. some as a result of technology, and they've lost their jobs. some as the result of immigrants coming into their countries. and these leaders are grabbing power by identifying themselves with one group and then -- >> with fear. >> with fear. and then also kind of excluding the individual rights of other people and being above the law and undermining democratic institutions. >> so who's missing the signals
4:28 am
here? is it the american government, the president, europe, populations? >> i think, frankly, everybody because people do want some answers, but i'm particularly concerned about the democratic institutions that are -- the first article of our constitution is about congress and i want them to really understand what's happening. >> i want to read from part of your book because i think you hit that point. you said if we think of fascism as a wound from the past that almost healed, putting trump in white house was like ripping off the bandage and picking off the scab. what has trump done? >> well, i think part of the issues here, first he's attacked the free press, which is central to having a democracy. he acts as though he's abonk the law. he has, in fact, used rallies and propaganda and provided a lot of simplistic answers to questions, and does not respect the rights of others.
4:29 am
4:30 am
this is video released by french military showing more than 100 missiles launched from warplanes and ships against syria. france was joined by the united states and great brittain in the strikes. >> it was a response to the chemical weapons attack last week carried out by bashar al assad's regime against civilians. in announcing the air strike last night, president trump called assad a monster and warned of ongoing issues. >> putin called it an active aggression and is seeking help
4:31 am
from the united nations. >> the operation capped off nearly a week of debate between the u.s., uk, and france, and this morning all nations involved were quick to support the military action, calling the strikes restrained and precise. >> it was a limited targeted and effective strike with clear bondaries that expressly sought to avoid escalation. >> reporter: speaking in london this morning prime minister theresa may said the international community will not stand by and tolerate the syrian government's use of chemical weapons. >> we cannot allow the use of chemical weapons to become normalized either in syria, on the streets of the uk, or elsewhere. >> the us, uk, and france launched more than 100 missiles. in a statement president macron also noted strikes.
4:32 am
it russia who backs the assad regime said the military intercepted 71 of the missiles and say there were no medial reports of casualties. moscow also called into question the time oing of the operation, which was launched on the same day the prohibition was expected to inspect the site in doma where weapons were used. iran's supreme leader, another ally of the syrian government, went so far as to call president trump and his allies criminal. and the u.s. and its allies say it would be criminal to do nothing at all. france's foreign minister said the strikes wiped out a lot of its chemical arsenal and said more strikes are possible if more chemicals were used again. reena. >> jonathan vigliotti in london.

but we begin with an update on the air strikes against suspected chemical websites in syria. the attacks launched by the u.s., britain, and france last night are in response to the assad regime's apparent use of chemical weapons against syrian civilians one week ago. cruise missiles and warplanes struck suspected chemical weapons research, development, and storage facilities near damascus t capital. in the attack, president trump called syrian president bashar al assad a monster and called on russia to end its long-time support on the assad regime. >> russia must decide if it will continue down this dark parkt or if it will join with civilized nations as a force of stability and peace. >> seth doane is in damascus syria. he's the only u.s. network
5:02 am
correspondent inside syria. he joins us now from damascus, the capital, and tells us exactly what happened. seth, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. we were here on this balcony at 4:00 local time here in damascus as those air strikes were under way. we were listening to president trump speak in one ear, and in the other ear, listening to the thud, the pounding of those air strikes here in damascus, so deep, a rumble that almost sounded like thunder. we could also see and hear anti-aircraft fire and we watched the flares racing through the night sky here as the syrians were trying to light up the night sky. early this morning we drove over to the neighborhood near one of the research facilities that was targeted and we tried to talk with people and found unbelievably people were relatively unfazed. you have to remember that the war has been grinding on here now into its eighth year. but still people told us they
5:03 am

5:04 am
>> you really can't. the information comes from the ground, likely from intelligence forces. we don't have a lot of human forces there. there are other target wes can go after. this wasn't just a few that are left. he still has some capability that i think we're going have to be looking over the horizon to be sure to take out next time. >> as you mentioned, mike, the russians say they intercepted some of these missiles and they pushed back as did iran, saying there will be consequences of this. what is going to happen next? >> we have to worry about the soldier, make sure they don't come under any kind of fire. we've got be a little more creative than standard electrical force, possibly electronic warfare or cyber operation the russians could do. they could become more disruptive to our naval forces in the mediterranean. there are other things they could do. i think deep down they don't want to get into a confrontation with the united states.
5:05 am
they know they'll lose. but we'll find out whether this attack crossed any redline. >> you mentioned the 2,000 u.s. troops in syria. the president said he wants to phase them out and remove them from the area. >> i thought the president's instimgt was correct when he said that about taking the troops out. a lot of people were surprised we had them there. they're there for the same oughtization that we put troops in after indian stan after 9/11. i think congress has to revisit this. 2,000 troops can't hold down the forces. they're training. they're nowhere near the fight in damascus. but i think this strike will force the administration and the congress to rethink our strategy not only by syria but russia and iran as well. they're major players in the region and we've got to be concerned about what we're doing inside of syria and ore the horizon. >> mike lyons. cleanup is under way in western arkansas after a suspected tornado ripped through the small town of mountainburg.
