>> welcome to "cbs this morning." hello, tasha. >> peekaboo. >> a little peekaboo this morning. i like that. >> welcome back. >> thanks. >> a high ranking ally of the me too movement and critic of president trump is resigning as new york state attorney general because of allegations that he physically and emotionally abused four romantic partners. the women told the new yorker magazine that eric schneiderman subjected them to nonconsensual physical violence. >> in a statement, schneiderman denied assaulting anyone and denied having any nonconsensual sex but did say he will step down today. >> the democratic attorney general was one of the first officials to take action against harvey weinstein when he was accused of sexual misconduct. jericka duncan is here with the new accusations and the response, jericka, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. the manhattan district attorney's office says it has now opened an investigation into the allegations against schneiderman. the new yorker spoke to four

women, two who gave their names, and what the women allege is in direct contradiction to the causes schneiderman has spent more than a decade supporting. >> if a woman does not have the right to control her own body, she is not truly equal. >> reporter: new york attorney general eric schneiderman built his career as the liberal progressive who stood up for women's rights. but on monday, in a new yorker report, the 63-year-old was described as a dr. jekyll and mr. hyde who was physically and emotionally abusive in private toward four women. among them, michelle manning barrish who told the new yorker she began a romantic relationship with schneiderman in 2013 that quickly turned violent. she claimed he was a heavy drinker and described one instance where he allegedly called her a whore and forcibly slapped her directly on her ear. he then alley used his body weight to hold her down and began to choke her. >> we'd begun a long overdue reckoning with our culture of violence and silence.

>> reporter: tonya selvaratnam says she met schneiderman in 2013 and described her relationship with him as a fairy tale that became a nightmare. she said schneiderman started calling her his brown slave and would sometimes call her to call him master. she alleged he would frequently slap her across the face, choke her and spit on her. it wasn't consensual, she said. this wasn't sexual play acting. schneiderman denied the abuse allegations, saying in a statement, in the privacy of intimate relationships, i have engaged in role playing and other consensual sexual activity. >> the federal government has been taken over by anti-choice, anti-women extremists. >> reporter: and in recent years, sniderman has raised his profile by taking on president trump. he has also been at the forefront of the me too movement, filing a civil rights lawsuit against harvey weinstein and his company. >> this report is a major bombshell. >> reporter: cbs news legal analyst rikki klieman says the

weinstein investigation likely won't be affected by snyderman stepping down. >> that case stands on its own. however, if any of these allegations against eric schneiderman are true, the hypocrisy is beyond belief. >> reporter: in a statement, selvaratnam confirmed her account in the new yorker. barrish did not respond to our request for comment. schneiderman praised the new yorker last month when it won a pulitzer price in part for its weinstein coverage. he tweeted that without the brave women and men who spoke up about the sexual harassment they endured at the hands of powerful men, there would not be the critical national reckoning under way. the new york state legislature will vote on a new attorney general to serve through the start of the new term on january 1st. i think this is just so bizarre and unlike a lot of the other cases, he's saying this was couns consensual. these women said they were in the relationship. but why be involved in something

like that with someone who's not also interested in doing that aparentally. >> seems like he needs a new definition of consensual and role playing. i think rikki klieman said it best when she said the apparent hypocrisy is what have many people shaking their head and looking at him five ways, like what in the world was going on in his life. >> these are strong successful women that basically say once become again it becomes i'm dealing with a powerful man. >> the chief law enforcement officer in new york. >> the reckoning has come home to him. >> that's right. thank you. president trump says he will announce his decision on the iran nuclear agreement later today. a cbs news poll finds 21% of americans want the u.s. to remain in the deal. while 21% want to leave. 57%, more than half of us, say they don't know enough to have an opinion. six world powers including the u.s. brokered the deal in 2015 to halt iran's nuclear program in exchange for sanctions relief. weijia jiang is at the white

house. >> reporter: european allies have desperately tried to change president trump's mind but they don't believe it worked. one diplomat tells cbs news the chance of this agreement staying intact is, quote, very small. >> no matter where you go in the middle east, wherever there's a problem, iran is right there. >> reporter: president trump has not provided any details about what a u.s. withdrawal would look like. >> my number one priority is to dismantle the disastrous deal with iran. >> reporter: but a pledge to renegotiate or dismantle the deal was one of his earliest campaign promises. >> we took off the sanctions and we made this horrible deal. >> reporter: president trump has long said the agreement, brokered under president obama, must also address iran's ballistic missile program. inspections at military sites and the sunset clause that would allow the country to restart some of its nuclear ambitionings in 2025. >> the negotiations involve give and take. >> reporter: last month, iranian

foreign minister javad zarif told margaret brennan his country would likely abandon the agreement if the u.s. pulled out. >> if the benefits of the deal for iran start to diminish, then there is no reason for iran to remain in the deal. >> reporter: but iranian president hasan rouhani said iran would be willing to stay if other countries involved played by the rules. european leaders have lobbied the president in person to uphold the accord. british foreign secretary boris johnson visited washington on monday, even appearing to reach out to the president on "fox and friends." >> the president has been right to call attention to it, but you've got to do that without just throwing the baby out with the bath water, without scrapping the whole thing. >> reporter: president trump had until saturday to decide whether to continue waving the sanctions. at this point, it seems the question is not if but how he will reinstate them.

will he simply decline to wave the sanctions or issue new, even tougher ones. gayle. >> all right, we'll know later today, thank you very much. cbs news poll out this morning shows president trump's job's approval rating at 30%. but a majority of americans, 55%, still disapprove of the president's performance. that could affect elections in north carolina, indiana, ohio and west virginia, where primary contests are being held today. ed o'keefe is in charleston, west virginia, with more on that story. ed, good morning. >> reporter: gayle, good morning. all those races across the country, but it's what's happening here in west virginia that has top republicans concerned. there's a candidate named don blankenship. he served federal prison time, falsely accused mitch mcconnell of smuk ggling cocaine from chi and says the president is misinformed. despite all that, he might end up to be the republican nominee for u.s. senate. >> if we don't stop the increase

of the debt, we're going to bankrupt the country. >> reporter: hours before the voters headed to the polls, don blankenship said he's the best choice for west virginia. the former mining executive spent a year in federal prison following an explosion at one of his mines. something his opponents, attorney general patrick morrisey and congressman evan jenkins, don't want voters to forget. >> he was convicted of conspiracy or intentionally violating mine safety standards. >> reporter: blankenship himself hasn't shied away from discussing the incident. you don't bear any responsibility for the death of those 29 people? >> i bear the same responsibility that you would bear if the government came in and blew your house up while you were gone for ten years. >> reporter: survivors of the explosion are also speaking out, hoping that fellow west virginians reject their former boss. >> i actually cried. man, this man just won't quit. >> reporter: goose stewart was in the upper big bank mine the day of the blast. >> i remember him getting those

initial nine guys outside. i remember picking 'em up and carrying 'em. i remember doing cpr on 'em. >> reporter: despite his past, blankenship has momentum and some surveys suggest he could win. >> he works hard. he became successful. and i say more power to him. >> reporter: president trump even tweeted his concerns, urging west virginians not to vote for blankenship. the candidate told us that the president had been fed fake news. remember, the president won this state by more than 40 points in 2016. that's why republicans think they've got a good shot at defeating democrat joe manchin. they worry, however, blankenship could spoil those chances. >> that's fascinating. thank you so much. the president's lawyer rudy giuliani says the white house has a list of demast mands for special counsel before the president will agree to sit down

for an interview. he says the president wants to testify but giuliani is cautioning him against it. outside the special counsel's office in washington. what are you learning about the state of negotiations? >> giuliani tells me that the special counsel's office has already rejected a proposal to allow the president to 'questions in writing. so the two sides will be negotiating a possible in person interview. giuliani tells me he wants quotes in advance. there are certain questions, certain issues off limits. despite my pressing, he would not specify exactly what those issues are. there's also this question about confidentiality and what, if anything, in this interview would eventually be made public. giuliani tells me that he wants some sort of agreement about that in advance and the opportunity to rebut anything the special counsel's office puts out. >> jewel agiuliani as a former attorney would have been on the other side of the table earlier in his life.

paula, what do we know wiabout when this interview might take place? >> if it does, giuliani tell also me he would like to push it past the north korean summit which is expected some time in the fenear future. he does not want to take the president away from that important work for what will likely be several days to prepare him for something like this. >> stay tuned, paula, thankings. a new poll finds first lady melania trump has a 57% approval rating up ten points since january. mrs. trump formally unveiled her be best campaign yesterday, promising to work on critical issues facing children. julianna goldman is at the white house where the first lady's announcement came with some controversy. >> reporter: 16 months into her husband's drama filled presidency, mrs. trump is trying to carve out a legacy of her own. focusing on children's well being and issues like cyber bullying, even if some of that runs count er to her husband's own behavior. >> i believe we should drive to

provide kids with the cools they need to cultivate their social and emotional health. >> reporter: with her husband in the first row, melania unveiled her platform to tackle childhood well being and including opoid abuse and negative behavior on social media. >> it's our responsibility as adults to educate and remind them when they're using their voices, whether verbally or online, they must choose their words wisely and speak with respect and compassion. >> reporter: just hours before the event, the president used twitter to single out two fbi agents by name. he called the mueller investigation a phony witch hunt and accused former secretary of state john kerry of illegal activity. >> i do believe the children should be both seen and heard. >> reporter: the first lady offered few details for her initiative, but her staff says it will draw on her experiences visiting children's hospitals and schools. the launch was not without controversy. the first lady's office appears

to have copies an obama era ftc ph palmlet. >> i think there must be a word missing, right. it was either going to be "be best" or do goodest. >> speaks multiple languages but for everyone on her team who signed off on "be best," be better. >> reporter: mrs. trump's profile has risen in the past few months. she attended barbara bush's funeral alongside four past presidents and planned the recent state dinner for the french president. aides say mrs. trump came up with that be best slogan herself. now, as for the federal trade commission pamphlet, mrs. trump's office says the ftc approached them and suggested they use it as a resource which they said they were happy to do, gayle. >> all right, thank you very much, julianna. two new crackings are sps a

lava and toxic gas in hawaii. carter evans is outside leilani estates in pahoa where more than 1,700 residents are evacuated. >> reporter: the lava floe slowed a little bit last night but those dangerous gases are still coming from those very large cracks in the earth. the lava could start slowing again at any time and scientists don't know when this eruption will end. new video shows the fiery wrath of kilauea bearing down on the neighborhood of leilani estates. nothing in the lava's path was spared. it consumed telephone poles, trees and homes. all destroyed as the once lush landscape now looks more like a blackened moon scape. but yesterday, a much needed break. the eruptions slowed down and authorities are allowing

evacuees to briefly return to their homes to pack their most essential items. >> i'm not sure what it's going to be like. >> reporter: he moved here with his wife and young daughter after fleeing california's wildfires. >> nice and green, everything was green. look at it. it's dying. >> reporter: we were with him as he packed up the house he says he may never see again. >> i'm going to raise my daughters here, but this doesn't look like it's going to turn out to be the scenario we hoped. >> reporter: neighbors tell me this fissure has been spewing lava for last couple of days. you can see some of it flying through the air now but at one point it was going much further, landing on this street where we are. it has stuck to the asphalt. >> i'll stay here until i can't stay anymore. >> reporter: michael clemens decided not to evacuate. he says almost all of his life savings is in his home, just a few hundred yards away from the lava and noxious smoke. >> you know, these things happen. they happen to other people.

they happened to me now. so, you know, i'll do the best i can and go on. >> reporter: hawaii governor david ige is urging people to remain cautious. >> just because we had one calm day doesn't mean it's over. >> yes, definitely, everyone knows that it's not over. >> reporter: while volcanos are extremely dangerous, they are considered safer here in hawaii. a representation of pele, the goddess of fire, and according to hawaiian folklore, to calm her down, people will often leave offerings of cigarettes and her favorite liquor, gin. john. >> carter, thanks. >> that's a new one. >> i did not know that. a california judge's short jail sentence for a sexual offender caused a national uproar. why the judge is trying to avoid a good morning. that marine layer is hovering over the golden gate bridge but

uber is leasing new information about uber air, an ambitious plan to launch a fleet of autonomous flying taxis in two years. we got the first look at the design models that will be on display at today's uber elevates summit in los angeles. launching an air taxi service could be risky for a company already facing problems with its fleet on the ground. bianna golodryga interviewed the ceo of uber and flew back overnight on a plane to be with

us this morning. >> not quite a taxi. yes. uber says they're willing to take that risk, john, good morning. we've all been there -- stuck in bumper-to-bumper traffic, just wishing that we could fly over the congestion. now uber says that dream can turn into reality with uber air. imagine flying instead of driving to your destination at up to 200 miles per hour just by using an app on your phone. >> we think cities are going to go vertical in terms of transportation, and we want to make that a reality. >> reporter: uber ceo dara khosrowshahi says the future shows passengers requesting ubers on their phone and taking to skyports where aircraft take off. >> we want to create a network around vehicles so regular people can take these taxis in the air for longer distances when they want to avoid traffic at affordable prices. >> it's going to be really, really community friendly. >> reporter: jeff holden is

uber's chief product officer. >> using these what they call stack eed rotors to create vertical lift. it lifts up kind of like a helicopter. when gets to the right aldue to, this creates -- altitude, this creates lift. >> reporter: they're still in the design phase. unlike a helicopter, this aircraft will have clusters of small propellers and run on electricity making it quieter, more efficient, and more affordable. although piloted at first, the goal is for the flying taxis to become autonomous. questions remain about how they will guarantee safety. uber also says for the program to become profitable, it will need to move beyond a niche market. >> one of the key tenets of this technology is for us to have four riders in each vehicle so that essentially the cost per ride goes down, the combination of mass market and sharing, really what uber is all about, can bring this to the masses, can make it affordable for

normal people. >> reporter: the ceo took over a company in crisis when he replaced travis ckalanick as ce in august. you're an eight-year-old company, still not profitable, lost $4.5 last year, why be so ambitious now? >> ambition is what has created the company from the very beginning. part of what made this company great is that we take big, bold bets. that's part of the norms and culture of this company. this is another big, bold bet that we think ultimately is something that the cities of the future are going to need. >> reporter: while he's focused on the future, the company is still navigating a troubled past including a march accident involving a self-driving uber with the safety driver behind the wheel that killed a pedestrian. the ceo says the software that decides how the vehicle reacts to objects on the road may have played a role in the crash, but the company is waiting to the results of an ntsb investigation. >> what i'm doing is a

top-to-bottom audit of our procedures, training, software, hardware, what our practices are. >> reporter: so you can definitively say that you're not shutting down your autonomous unit? >> yes, i can definitively tell that. we're not shutting it down. we want to get back on the road, but we want to be when we get back on the road. >> reporter: the company is also working to rehabilitate its image. a bombshell blog post last year detailing a corporate culture of sexual harassment was followed by numerous lawsuits and an internal investigation that led to kalanick's resignation. how long do you give yourself as a leader to make sure that change is implemented for the better? >> if it's not changed right now, then i've failed. i will tell you that the company took upon itself to change. the change didn't start with me. what happened in the past was deeply unpleasant and wrong. but the company from the bottom-up standpoint started changing, and i think it continues the pace. >> reporter: how important is it for you to have female employees who feel safe and proud to work

at this company? >> it's game over if we don't. we want everyone at uber to feel safe. and if we fail at that, we will fail at a company. but we don't intend to. >> reporter: he's focusing not just on correcting the company's past missteps but on making the necessary strides to ensure the company's future growth, including the launch of uber air. >> you've got to set aggressive goals in order to push teams and people to make those goals. >> uber plans to have uber air flight demonstrations as early as 2020. the company has also partnered with nasa to develop technology to control air traffic and prevent crashes. the first two uber air cities will be dallas and los angeles. and about the company's bottom line, khosrowshahi said we are profit in some cities and are looking to invest in technology. we'll see what investors ultimately say in the long run. >> mr. khosrowshahi is making it

clear there's a new sheriff in town and he's setting a different mission and different face for the company. >> yeah. >> seemingly in a very good, powerful, strong way. >> he felt very open to talk about it all. >> he has a lot of balls in the air. a lot going on to put this big, new thing -- >> he wants to be the amazon of transportation is what he said. >> can i say that bianna and i were on the same red-eye flight. i got off feeling like a dishrag. at quarter to 6:00 we were at john f. kenne jfk and they said we'd never make it. >> we made it. >> you have been here two hours. coming up, the headlines including the worst flooding in more than two decades. and rapper meek mill is using his time after justice to influence criminal justice reform. he'll be in studio 57 for his first live tv interview since he was rele

assault. that's a one year statute of limitations and a one-year penalty. you can go back to the old allegations, and they could help buffer up that one year, but the difficulty is to get to a second -- to get up to a felony you would need a weapon. you would need someone in a protected class like elderly or a child or depends on the seriousness of the injury. >> can i ask you something. they accused schneiderman of having subjected them to non-consensual physical violence. is there such a thing as consensus physical violence under the law. >> i suppose you could consent that people can hit you. people have habits, but nonetheless they say that his defense is a fantasy of his own. >> yeah. he offered role-playing as the defense. i don't know any woman of color that thinks being called a brown slave is any kind of role-playing. >> let alone someone who is choked and feels that she may really lose consciousness.

stay there. and i had a lot of success there. or to take a lot of financial gains and reallocate them to these kind of problems and say, well, if the epa is not going to do something around climate, what can private citizens and what can technologists do to solve them. if, for example, health and human services can't make a lot of progress on cancer or diabetes or asthma in middle america or low-income communities, what can we do using software technology. that's what we've done. we've had a lot of success. >> to use a bad phrase maybe -- are you trying to hack government or go around it? >> neither. i would say at the end of the day, look, america is driven by the sort of industrial resolve and this sort of entrepreneurialism where if things aren't solved, private citizens tend to be able to do a good job. and the reality is for-profit businesses tend to be the best way to solve these problems because they create enduring companies. and so at the end of the day, if we can put a dent in cancer or put a dent in climate and leave these companies in a state where they will live past our generation for our kids and our kids' kids, i think that's a

fantastic formula. >> your firm uses artificial intelligence, right, to decide what to invest in. describe how that works. >> sure. you know, i think we're in a world now where there is so much complexity, things change constantly. you'll have a company that's successful today, and tomorrow it could get disrupted. so what we did was we took a step back and said in that kind of a model, we have to be really responsible when we invest. and the best way to do that is to have computers help people like myself make better decisions. and so that's how we do it. we use computers and software to help analyze a lot of data inside of a company so that we don't miss things. >> our viewers are familiar with you because of some of the warnings you've raised about facebook and social media being addictive. one, your kids are not allowed to have any screen time. >> how old are your children? >> 9, 7, 5. >> do they like you? >> they love me. i think. >> you were texting with them earlier, and -- >> how does that work in your house, especially because this

is definitely your wheelhouse. how did you do that? and why did you do it? >> it is critical for me to do my part in raising morally and ethically aware children. i want children who can make eye contact. i want children who know how to resolve conflicts with their peers. i want children who understand the dynamics of interpersonal relationships that are physical and tactile. i do not want children that only know how to interface with the world through a screen. >> here's the question -- slack, shouldn't we be down the hall talking to each other instead of slacking with each other? >> so when you are 18, 19, 20, 35, 45, and you're doing work and you want to efficiently do work in an organization and you want to be in an organization that doesn't have office politics, slack is a fantastic tool. when you are 9, 10, 12, 13, 14, and developing your sense of self, my perspective is you should be looking at people in the eye. you should be dealing with them in real life. you should be getting a job. you should be outside playing. you should be learning how the real world works.

>> all that sounds so good. but i want to go back to your kids for a second. how are they going to navigate the world when we live in something that is so -- that everybody is so technology focused and so attached to the technology? >> let's -- >> how are they going to navigate? >> we all have smartphonesed e smartpho phone-- smartphones to. did we all have computers growing up? i did not. we mastered what's been going on for the last 15 years. adults when trained are capable of many things. i suspect my children at some point will learn how to use these devices and be okay. >> the sales of sales force has said that social media is so addictsi iv-- addictive that it should be regulated. as former head of facebook's user growth, do you agree? >> it should be regulated in the way people use it. i think it's important to do two

things -- one, all social media sites allow us to confuse truth and popularity. that has to be fixed. every normal citizen has a right to know what is factual versus what is amplified by good actors or bad actors, first thing. the second thing is every single citizen of every single country of the world has a right to understand what data are they giving and what are they getting. so in that construct, there's probably some regulatory framework that makes it -- >> how does regulatory framework deal with the first piece? government getting involved in that is going to be a mess. >> it's unclear to me. i think what it's probably going to do is going to result in a refactoring of how business models work on the internet. the reality is for the last 20 years, we've been living in a utopia. we all get things for free and pay nothing for them. if you, for example, bought a car and you were just given the car meaning it cost nothing, and then the seat belts didn't work and the airbags didn't deploy, you'd have no recourse because

the car manufacturer would say, hold on a second, i gave you a free car, right. if you bought milk, you can expect it to be pasteurized. if you're given milk and it makes you sick, you have no recourse. similarly on the internet, we have to ask ourselves, if you are not paying for something, are you probably part of the product, not the consumer or customer who has rights by buying a product. >> all right. >> good. >> wow. really good to see you. >> yeah. love talking to you. thanks for being here. >> one of the coolest names in the business. say it for me. >> chamath pallihapitya. >> to celebrate "note to self," we asked you the viewer to write to us. we share a woman's

[drumming] one time, in new orleans, well, before it was even founded, a french teenager, bienville, scared away a british warship with just a story. and great stories kept coming.

a reminder, listen to the "cbs this morning" podcast on itunes every fire department every police department is part of a bigger picture. that bigger picture is statewide mutual aid. california years ago realized the need to work together. teamwork is important to protect the community, but we have to do it the right way. we have a working knowledge and we can reduce the impacts of a small disaster, but we need the help of experts. pg&e is an integral part of our emergency response team. they are the industry expert with utilities. whether it is a gas leak or a wire down,
