7:08 am
injuries. the suspects both wore dark zipup jackets and covered their faces. one could be seen carrying a device. police are not currently calling it terrorism or a hate crime. they're asking the public for any help in identifying the two men responsible. >> scary. >> thank you, adriana. an armed citizen being praised for stopping a gunman at a popular oklahoma city restaurant. 12 people were shot at louie's bar and grill last night. police say the suspect was killed in the parking lot. david begnaud is outside the restaurant in oklahoma city. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. police won't tell us who the gunman is, only that he's a white male between the age of 18 and 20. they say he was wearing safety equipment like this, ear much m and goggles, the kind of stuff you would see used at a shooting rak range. one victim was under fire when she walked into the restaurant.
7:09 am
it was a civilian who brought the gunman down. he said they were walking into lou louie's bar and grill for a relative's birthday party when the gunman started shooting. >> they were getting ready to walk in the front door and evidently the shooter was in the tree line and they were both shot by the front door. >> two people have been shot. there's a male in the parking lot shooting a gun. >> reporter: dennis will says his daughter was grazed by a bullet and his granddaughter was shot. natalie will tells cbs news she and her daughter hid in the restaurant's bathroom with three other women until the shooting was over. >> we got a ton of witnesses here. >> reporter: police say about 100 people were inside louie's when the shooting started. >> he came in, started shooting people. >> reporter: police say the gunman walked into the restaurant and then started shooting. which seemed to contradict what the will family has said. >> when the suspect leaves the restaurant, he is confronted by a civilian. the civilian did have a handgun and the civilian pulled out his handgun and shot the suspect and it killed the suspect. >> reporter: police are calling that armed civilian a hero and
7:10 am
crediting him with saving lives. dennis will says he's grateful that man was there. >> i would love to congratulate him. give him a big hug. >> reporter: so the 12-year-old girl is out of surgery and is expected to survive. we asked the police if the armed civilian had a permit to carry his weapon. they told us they didn't know but they would look into it. as for the shooting, police say they don't believe the mother and daughter were targeted. they think it was random. >> all right, david, thank you. north korea says it is still willing to sit down with the u.s. at any time after president trump pulled out of next month's planned summit. north korean state media called the move unexpected and extremely regrettable. the president warned them about any military response and blamed kim jong-un's government for his decision. >> i believe this is a tremendous setback for north korea and, indeed, a setback for the world. our military, which is by far most powerful anywhere in the world, that has been greatly
7:11 am
enhanced recently as you all know, is ready if necessary. >> before mr. trump's announcement, north korea set off large explosions at its nuclear test site and claimed it was destroyed. ben tracy was the only network correspondent to witness it. he's in wonsan, north korea. >> reporter: we were actually in the middle of a 12-hour train ride when we got the news it was canceled. we were in the awkward position of telling the north korean guide the news but frankly they didn't sear particularly surprised. the feeling is the u.s. isn't living up to its promises but north korea by closing its nuclear site feels that it is. this is what north korea called its commitment to peace. in a series of explosions, the north claimed to destroy its once treasured pyungye-ri
7:12 am
nuclear testing site. the regime has been testing its nuclear weapons here since 2006. until now, we have only seen this highly secretive location from satellite photos. but a small group of international journalists were allowed to tour the facility before it was blown up. so this is the entrance to tunnel number two here at north korea's nuclear test site. this is where they have conducted five of their six nuclear tests over last couple of years. and you can see they have now strung up explosives in there. they plan to blow this up so they can no longer use it. some outside scientists have said this nuclear site was already so badly damaged by previous tests that it was not usable. but during the nine hours we were led around the grounds, north korean officials stressed that two of the tunnels were still operational. and that destroying them is a real concession. so they've told us we can come double-check and see with our own eyes these tunnels have been destroyed. but these are all journalists
7:13 am
here. there are no outside experts that can verify what they've done here has made this site unusable. we can only confirm threy blew p the entrances. if the tunnels inside the mountains still exist, this site could still potentially be used for future nuclear tests. the north koreans claim there was no radiation leaked during these explosions and they say they've never detected radiation at this site. however, the one thing they did confiscate from our luggage when we arile errived here in north was the equipment we brought to detect radiation. john. >> very interesting, ben tracy inside north korea, thanks, ben. a tropical storm is threatening to slam into the southeast over the holiday weekend. thunderstorms off of the coast of mexico could hit states from louisiana to the carolinas with heavy rain and flash flooding. forecasters say there's a 90% chance the system could become tropical storm alberto within the next four days. that would make it the first named storm of the atlantic
7:14 am
hurricane season which doesn't officially begin until next friday. national oceani yaic and atmospc administration predicts there will be as many as 16 named storms this season including at least 5 hurricanes. with the holiday weekend getting under way, gas prices are climbing toward the $3 mark for the first time in four years. regular gas is going for $2.96 a gallon. aaa expects more than 41.5 million americans will travel for memorial day weekend. that's up nearly 5% from last year. michelle miller is on the road in new jersey, michelle, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. california has the nation's highest gas prices at about $3.71 a gallon. that's nowhere near the record high back in 2008 of $4.11. with the average american household expected to make $200 more this year as opposed to last year, a lot of travelers may not hit the roads this
7:15 am
memorial day weekend. >> there's nothing we can do about it. >> don't have another choice. it's not like i have a horse in the backyard. >> reporter: as americans gear up for the start of summer, rising gas prices are tempering their excitement. >> i'm going to stay local as a result probably of the gas prices and just the obscene amount of traffic that is going to be here this weekend. >> according to aaa, at least 16 states have hit an average gas price of at least $3 a gallon. >> 1 in 4 gas stations in america are selling gas at $3 or more and that's about 50 cents more than this time last year. >> reporter: jeannette casselano is the spokesperson for aaa. >> when we get to the $3 mark is when people make drastic changes. people may not travel as far as they had planned to. while on vacation, they may not eat out as much. >> reporter: so what's to blame for america's problems at the pump? recent political unrest in oil-rich countries like iran and
7:16 am
venezuela are just one of the reasons for the recent price hike. >> the sachgss on iran will take their oil out of the system. and venezuela politically is a mess and it's melting down. >> reporter: economist peter morici say cuts in oil production and increasing consumer demand adds to the squeeze on wallets. >> with gas prices so cheap the last couple of years, people have been buying bigger vehicles and so it's going to be hard to drive down gasoline consumption in the near term and so that's contributing to rising prices. >> reporter: what could ease some of the pain on those gas hikes, the fact that there are lower prices on hotel rooms and car rentals, even airfare. the good news, the real good news, is that most experts say that by midsummer, we should see these prices on gas leveling off. >> well, that is a silver lining. michelle, thank you so much. an historic referendum in ireland today could relax the
7:17 am
country's strict anti-abortion laws. jonathan vigliotti is in dublin where citizens from all over the world have arrived to vote. >> reporter: we've been watching people filing in all morning long to cast their votes. this is expected to be a tight vote. we'll learn the results tomorrow morning. ultimately those i've spoken with say this is a referendum on the future direction of the nation. for a country so closely entwined with the catholic church, months of polarizing protests have signaled a seismic cultural shift. voters today will select yes or no to repeal ireland's eighth amendment which bans all abortions except when a mother's life is at risk. the law was supported by those who feared ireland, having its own wade v.r roe moment. it's a torch sinead fidgeon
7:18 am
wants to carry for children with disabilities. her 3-year-old daughter has down syndrome. >> to decide when to terminate her life. >> reporter: but pro-choice campaigners like ivana bacik says the current law ultimately hurts women. >> of course it hasn't stopped irish women having abortions. >> reporter: in 2016, over 3,000 women from ireland traveled to the uk to have abortions. that's almost 9 a day. and it's estimated 1,500 illegal abortion pills are ordered online each year. the catholic church in ireland has encouraged its followers to vote no to abortion but critics here say its moral authority has weakened after a series of child abuse scandals. and this is a nation that has been leaning more liberal in the past few decades. in 1995, they legalized divorce. in 2015, they legalized gay marriage. if abortion is legalized, women will be allowed to terminate

sex act, sex abuse and sexual misconduct for alleged attacks on two women. >> one who denied having nonconscienensual sex with anyo. rikki klieman is here, also jodi kantor, who co-wrote the first story about the allegations against weinstein, which earned a pulitzer prize and helped create a worldwide reckoning on sexually harassment and assault. jodi what do you think this moment means for the women who you talked to over the past year? >> a tremendous amount. really other women who have been victims too. harvey weinstein always had his own private system of justice. he would hire private investigators. he would hire fancy lawyers. to settle allegations. but it turns out nobody knew about for years and years afterwards. there was an nypd inquiry into his behavior in 2015 that mysteriously disappeared. so this is kind of the first
7:33 am
time he's facing the same justice system as the rest of us. >> do you have any idea about why it's happening now? the allegations have been so public. many women wonder why hasn't he been brought to court sooner? we're hearing bail will be set at $1 million and he'll have to wear an ankle bracelet. why today do you think? >> whether it's today, last week or next week, the reality is this. although we may collectively believe because there are 80 women who have made allegations against him, that he may be guilty of something and some heinous thing. that it's a far cry from belief than it is to having evidence that a prosecutor believes he or she can prove beyond a reasonable doubt. the d.a. in new york is very precise about whether he will indict. he believes you have to have the adequate proof. he eventually convened a grand jury. they have interviewed dozens, if not hundreds of witnesses.
7:34 am
they have gotten lots and lots of documents. and they were not going to go forward with any of these cases, no matter how the rest of us may have felt, until they felt they were ready and they're ready now. >> what happens now to him? >> they go to court. the procedure in court is routine. he will betaking a mug shot, prints, goes to court, set bail. you talked about the bail package. one of the real questions is where is he going to reside pending trial. and then the system starts. conferences, motions, finally a trial or a plea. >> jodi, i want to go back to something you talked about. the system of justice he created for himself, escaping justice. what do you know about the network that was around him? we've seen him doing the person walk. what happened to the network that allowed him to operate for many years? >> has largely fallen apart. he had a system of favors and being able to work the channels of power in new york and
7:35 am
washington and los angeles. and that's gone now. he's very he's late isolated. his lawyer says he's lonely and frustrated. now, could he still use means to settle out charges privately with women to evade further accountability? yes, that is still possible. but we should also say, this grand jury is still working so we don't know if this is even the last set of charges in new york city. and there are investigations in other cities as well. >> might anybody who was a part of that network who knew what they were doing be in trouble in terms of that grand jury? >> that's a great question. i think the other question is will more women come forward now? because women feel more comfortable coming forward when they know there will be accountability. and when they feel the system works. so i'd like to know who else is watching. this clip right now and saying maybe it's safe for me to tell my story to the police. >> does it say anything, rikki, that they're doing this so publicly? in many high-profile cases, you
7:36 am
can make arrangements to turn in early in the morning or go in to a side door or something. the fact this is so public, you think they're sending a message here? >> well, there was an agreement that had to be reached between brothman, harvey weinstein's attorney, and the prosecutors. so yes, there are times -- >> i didn't see ben in that picture? >> ben was not in that picture. he may be inside already or he may be already at the courthouse. the reality is that we know that the police and the government do want to make a public statement. i don't think that we would be truthful if we thought that was not so. and we just saw it. >> jodi, it has been i think 200 days since we've seen harvey weinstein and your reporting first brought forward these allegations. since then, the me too movement has ricocheted around the world. and set off a discussion about the systemic things that take place that allow this behavior.

summit may stillon the table. a top north korean official said his government has the intent to sit with the u.s. at any time. less than one day after the president said that the meeting was off. the president also said that to have a summit, quote, we have to get it right. >> before yesterday's withdrawal, north korea claimed it destroyed its main nuclear testing site with a series of explosions. ben tracy was the only u.s. broadcast network correspondent to witness it. he spent nine hours at the facility and was allowed to look inside its tunnels before and after these explosions. no one outside -- no outside nuclear experts, by the way, were there to confirm whether the site really is not usable. republican senator cory gardner of colorado says the president made the right decision. he's chairman of the subcommittee on east asia, the pacific and international cybersecurity policy. senator gardner is with us from denver.
8:04 am
good morning, senator. let's start with why this deal fell apart. you say it was the right thing for the president to do. why? >> i think we've known all along if there was any sense that kim jong-un was not committed to denuclearization, this meeting wouldn't occur. in the weeks leading up to the summit, meetings were canceled. state department officials meeting in singapore with north korean officials. those meetings were canceled. phone calls not returned. they capsled meetings with the south koreans. i think it's appropriate to make sure when we get to the summit, it's not about games. it's not about propaganda. it's about denuclearization. >> isn't this why these summits are worked out before hand at a lower level so that you don't have national prestige at stake between the leaders this early in the negotiating process? obviously, north korea is not going to say we'll give up the entire program right off the bat. >> i think what's happened is that those planning efforts were being made. if you look at the meeting going to be held in singapore, that
8:05 am
was all leading up to the summit in singapore. phone calls that wreren't returned, they were going to be planning efforts. he started to lack the support within his closest confidantes. saying this isn't the way your father did things. or maybe the meeting with president xi as has been tauked about publicly changed the results of kim jong-un's attitude as it related to the summit. did china try to bring him in closer saying we're nervous about making a deal with the americans and we'll relax the sanctions? those are all questions we have to have answers for and continue our maximum pressure doctrine but i hope we can get back to a position where we do, indeed, have a deal on denuclearization. >> i want to talk about how damaging this may be to the u.s. position as you refer to a deputy chief of staff waiting in singapore and was stood up by the north koreans. now the north koreans have gotten public recognition. they may get an easing of sanctions. they can continue with their nuclear program. and doesn't this just strengthen
8:06 am
china in the end? >> there will be no easing of sanctions. the commitment i received from the secretary of state. i was at the white house with national security adviser bolton. we will double down on our sanctions. congress is prepared to pass additional sanctions, legislation called the lead act. it's already out of the foreign relations committee. just needs to move through the full senate and the house. we can double down on these sanctions to further isolate north korea economically and diplomatically to continue to ratchet up our pressure. i don't think this is any kind of a win for north korea. this fits a pattern of misbehavior. his promises by his family have been broken over the decades many times. this isn't anything new. we see an internal challenge and struggle between kim jong-un. a challenge between this peacemaker to bring his hermit kingdom out of the darkness and this challenge, the struggle between the propagandist. a pattern of behavior by north korea that gets global attention and then they break the promise. in this instance it looks like

transparency work that we're doing is now going to give people all -- across the united states a real understanding whof paid for the ad. and then if they want to go and get further information, they'll understand who actually received the ad, who were reached. the age, the gender and location and how much was spent. >> in order to place an ad you have to have a u.s. i.d., address, social security i.d. and all that. in the last election the russians used an american entity to place their ads. how would it prevent a foreign entity? >> wee a are doing everything w can to ensure the integrity of the elections. this is one critical step to go through a verification process but it's not the only step. we're using technology with machine learning as well as people to evaluate whether or not those ads are legitimate. and we're also asking people on facebook to report ads so you can click on the right-hand side of any ad on facebook and you can tell us a lot of things can say if you never want to receive an ad from that advertiser again

but also tell fuus if you think this is a political ad that should have been labeled. >> how much do you think people will engage with this? sometimes we've seen with social media, people like to enforce their existing views of things and pass that along to other people. how much do you think people will look into see who is behind the ad and go down that lane? >> we think people genuinely want to understand who is trying to influence them. we also are going to make an api available so news broadcasters and third party watch dogs can also look out for whether or not somebody is trying to influence both political or issue ads. >> what is an api? >> that allows people from a technology standpoint. third party group to access the information in a very seamless way so they can watch to see who is actually running those ads and give us feedback. >> so access the information behind the ad to know who is behind it? >> yes. we think it's incredibly important that people have full transparency. not just political and issue
