7:03 am
7:04 am
7:05 am
moment of silence. so important to do. it's been 17 years. if you are a relative or someone who lost somebody very near and dear to you, it seems like yesterday. that's why i hope we always honor this tradition of remembering them. we all remember where we were that day, what we were doing and may we never forget. and we won't. >> each name we hear, think of the ripples that go through that family. >> yes. >> you know, spouses, children, parents, grandparents. and then the story is told throughout that entire family for the last 17 years. all of the change that has taken place just in the single families of the single names that have been read. >> as we mourn those that passed on september 11th, we also remember many of the law enforcement officials and others who are suffering the effects of 9/11 still. whether it is the stress and trauma of that or some of them who are now experiencing cancer and other illnesses that ed fhat w inge
7:06 am
today. i know our government whether it's from the fbi to the govern governors, are focused on making sure our law enforcement get the care they deserve. >> the courage of them on that day, who ran into a building that was -- and to the scene of all of the devastation. didn't ask any questions. ran to the sound of those in need of help. >> we won't forget. >> we will never forget. we watch these scenes in new york city right now. also that remembrance in shanksville, pennsylvania, where president trump will speak at a ceremony there. that will be about a half hour from now. >> the other big story of the day is hurricane florence. she is projected to be the most powerful storm ever to hit north carolina. the massive category 4 hurricane takes an ominous path towards the southeast coast. hurricane and storm surge watches are now in effect in the carolinas. florence has maximum sustain is expected to get even stronger
7:07 am
later today. south carolina, north carolina, virginia and maryland are all under a state of emergency right now. take a look at how big florence really is. a photo from space. it's expected to make landfall on friday. david begnaud is in myrtle beach, south carolina, where a mandatory evacuation goes into effect later today. >> reporter: good morning. it is go time. 12 noon today is when the evacuation order goes into effect. take a look behind me. you've got bumper to bumper traffic where we are in myrtle beach. let me give you a shot from the drone. our operator tells me for as far as he can see using the drone, traffic is bumper to bumper. this is headed westbound away from the coast of south carolina. people are told to evacuate 150 an s is still three days out. >> there's nothing about a house that's worth staying in risking your life.
7:08 am
>> reporter: in oak island, north carolina, the imminent threat from hurricane florence is forcing most people to board up their homes and leave town. >> over the years, i have seen the damage that these storms can do. so i don't really want to take no chances. >> no, i'm not going to leave. >> reporter: as always, some people living along coast are planning to ride out the hurricane. >> everything i own is here. >> reporter: in portsmouth, virginia, the coast guard issued a stern warning, get out or we might not be able to save you. >> if you are in the tide water region and you're not taking this storm seriously, you are making a mistake. and that could be a fatal one. ep no store shelves across virginia, north carolina and south carolina are empty as people flood the stores to buy essentials. in wilmington, north carolina, there are lines to get water. eo uth ey'rac. >> we're going to head out.
7:09 am
if it gets crazy. >> reporter: you know eigit's a category 4? >> yes. >> reporter: staying or leaving? >> staying. >> reporter: staying. all right. the governor has activated 0 naonal guard tro a potentially catastrophic flooding. >> when weather forecasters tell us life threatening, we know that it is serious. >> reporter: back here in south carolina, the evacuation of the coastline was ordered by the governor. in north carolina, we're told the governor hadn't ordered a coastal evacuation because it's up to local leaders along the coast to decide who evacuates and where. in virginia, it was the governor that ordered some evacuations of low-lying areas. here in south carolina, i asked the state trooper what if somebody doesn't evacuate? he said, we can't force them out. my experience reporting the news during storms has taught me that remember, if you decide to stay behind, they may not be able to get to you if you need help when the storm makes landfall.
7:10 am
>> and david, you should know. meteorologist megan glaros of our chicago station is here tracking florence's path. >> with latest update from the national hurricane center, the storm has weakened just a touch. still expecting it to strengthen as we move through time. looking at winds now down to 130 miles per hour. category 4. moving west-northwest at 15 miles per hour. expected to intensify, though, once it gets done reorganizing a bit and runs into this warmer water. looking at a landfall some time very early friday. 130-mile-per-hour wind pose ten chul here. here are our main concerns. storm surge flooding up to 15 feet across portions of the carolina coastline. rainfall could be another big factor. 15 to 30 inches of rain in spots. we're looking at winds 130 miles per hour. that will be contained to a tighter zone right around that eye wall. here's a look at the storm
7:11 am
surge. flooding really anywhere from jacksonville, morehead city, to plymouth. looking at 15 feet in spots in terms of storm surge flooding. once it makes landfall, we expect the system to sit and spin and continue to pull in very heavy rainfall. so what are we looking at here? probably upwards of 15 to 30 inches of rain in pockets across north carolina, stretching up. we'll see some lower rainfall totals. but still looking at a massive amount of rain that will continue as those folks move in to the weekend. norah. >> all right, megan, thank you. in our next hour, fema administrator brock long talks about getting ready for the storm and the biggest concerns he has right now. that's ahead here on "cbs this morning." the attorney for one of leslie moonves' accusers says her client will speak today with law firms investigating the sexual misconduct claims. moonves was forced to resign on sunday amid new abuse allegations by seven women.
7:12 am
the separation agreement showed moonves could collect a $120 million severance payment if the independent investigation finds that cbs had no grounds to remove him. jericka duncan has a closer look at that deal. >> reporter: good morning. for now, moonves will remain an unpaid adviser to cbs with a company-provided office in new york or l.a. a long with home security services. he may never -- we may never know rather exactly what cbs is able to discover about his behavior. in his separation agreement, the company agreed to keep the investigation into the allegations confidential. victims advocates are pushing the network for transparency. leslie moonves's wife julie chen was noticeably absent from the season premiere of her cbs show "the talk." she says she's taking a few days off to be with her family. >> as you all know, julie's husband is in the news.
7:13 am
>> reporter: co-host sharon osbourne previously went on twitter saying the allegations were an attempt to discredit leslie. chen had asked her to make a statement in support of moonves. she walked back those remarks. >> he's not been convicted of any crime but obviously the man has a problem. >> reporter: the new yorker and "vanity fair" reported seven new allegations of sexual assault and harassment against moonves. >> i never expect something like this. >> reporter: longtime television executive phyllis golden-gottlieb spoke to us with her lawyer gloria allred. she filed a complaint last year with los angeles police reporting moonves assaulted her in 1986. >> he grabbed my head and grabbed it and pushed it down on to his penis. >> reporter: prosecutors declined to file charges, saying the statutes of limitations had expired. cbs has now hired two independent law firms to investigate allegations against moonves. >> i would urge the board to
7:14 am
make any report that they receive from these independent investigators public. >> reporter: in a statement, moonves wrote he's deeply saddened to be leaving cbs, saying, untrue allegations from decades ago are now being made against me that are not consistent with who i am. in regulatory filings, cbs reported it was putting $120 million into a trust. the money will go to moonves only if the investigation finds he cannot be terminated for cause. the company says it's also donating $20 million to organizations that support the me too movement and equality for women in the workplace. >> it's a drop in the bucket when you compare it to less moonves' salary over the last few years. >> reporter: fatima goss graves runs the women's law center and is the leader of a times up movement. she calls on cbs to be open with the investigation. >> cbs has an opportunity to show us dramatically either how to do the right thing or how to do the wrong thing.
7:15 am
that's why people are watching so closely in this moment. >> reporter: the independent investigation is also looking at the culture here within cbs news. it's been nearly ten months since the company fired charlie rose over reports of sexual harassment and "60 minutes" executive producer jeffrey fager has denied allegations of inappropriate behavior and of tolerating misconduct. as we've spoken about before, you say the wreckening, now people are looking for results. they want the transparency, they want to know what theyua st this independent >> i want to ktoo.as w sitem itso close -- s difficult listen this is home, this is home for us. >> right. >> to hear there will be an investigation but we may not be told what was in the investigation or the results of the investigation. really, really actually troubles me. you know, les moonves has always said, and i've always had a good relationship with him and respect him and think he's done a great job for this company.
7:16 am
but i would think in the appearance of transparency, he said, i didn't do anything wrong, these are appalling allegations. i would want people to know how this turns out, that my name has been cleared or exactly what happened. on the other hand, i feel for the women who are coming forward. it's been my experience that women don't subject themselves to something so painful and humiliating in a public forum. they just don't. are there some outliers, yes. but there are many layers to this story. because no one wants to talk about this. but there also has to be a due process and some way forward with the men as well. we can't just -- i don't know how or when it's going to end but i'm really sick and sickened by all of it. i was in france, as you guys know, for a friend's wedding. a friend of mine said how do women remember what happened 30 years ago. when something as traumatic and humiliating. you remember every single detail. >> you remember the incident. you also remember the powerlessness afterwards. this person went to a lawyer and they said, it's your word against them. then 30 years later, you think, maybe i could have done more and
7:17 am
other people wouldn't have had to face this. it still sticks with them. i know it sticks with a lot of other people. >> our logo is an eye. i really hope everybody's watching, letting everybody know what happened. let the chips fall where they may on this. >> thank you, jericka. >> thank you. >> thank you, jericka. protests over the police shooting death of a black man inside his own apartment in dallas grew tense overnight. an officer firing what appeared to be a pepper ball gun into the crowd. more than 100 people gathered to demand justice for botham jean. the 26-year-old was shot last week by off duty police officer am better guyger. omar villafranca has the story. >> rter: doz of nstrs gathed outside dallas police headquarters monday evening demanding justice for botham jean.
7:18 am
district attorney faith johnson. >> we will make certain justice is done. >> reporter: guyger told investigators she went to what she thought was her third floor apartment. i instead, she went to jean's fourth floor apartment. the door was ajar and she saw a large silhouette inside. after giving verbal commands that were ignored, she fire heard handgun twice, striking botham once in the torso. it wasn't until guyger turned on lights and called 911 that she realized she was at the wrong apartment. attorneys for jean's family says two witnesses told them details that contradict guyger's account. >> they heard knocking down the hallway, followed by a woman's voice that they believe to be officer guyger saying let me in, let me in. >> reporter: the family's attorney say one of witnesses then heard gunshots followed by a man's bve to the lastordsbotham jean, which
7:19 am
was, oh, my god, why did you do that? >> reporter: allison jean wants to know what happened to her son. >> i'm not satisfied that we have all the answers. >> there is really no reason why a mother should have to wait until the conclusion of an investigation to know what happened to her child. >> that is omar villafranca from dallas. ahead, the president of the u.s. tennis associati a good tuesday morning to you. we will see daytime highs slightly cooler compared to yesterday. the winds will pick up as we head into the afternoon. northwesterly winds 20 to 30 miles per hour later on today. highs in the mid 60s in san francisco. 18 in napa. 73 in fremont. cooler for wednesday and much cooler still for thursday. a slight warm-up as we head into the weekend.

7:32 am
championship. the chairman and president of the u.s. tennis association, that's katrina adams, joins us in studio 57. we should mention she's a panelist on cbs sports network. we need to talk. boy, do we. katrina adams joins us at the table. >> good to have you here. >> it is still the topic of conversation really all around. i was in france watching. it's hard to understand what's happening when they're speaking in french but there's certain things you understand. everybody keeps saying that carlos raymos is a very good ump, that he does a very good jo job. do you think he handled this situation well? >> i think for the umpire, he was following the code. warning, point, game. serena was in the code for coaching and the racket a because and escalated to what he thought, he was being abused. by the code, he followed the law. however, i think perhaps on a personal note, he could hav differently. as far as maybe giving her a soft warning with the coaching to start if he had seen something in the box. >> which they say happened with
7:33 am
men all the time. >> it happened with all players, men and women. it's very prevalent. it's something the usda, we've implemented a trial for coaching and qualifying in juniors to try to see if it helps and maybe open up coaching overall. >> as you watch this play out, were you concerned that it was getting out of control? >> it was very interesting because i was in my seat in the box and gayle knows where that is. at 4-3 in the second set when it appears osaka was about to certain serve for the match, i made my way down. so i missed it live. when i came out, it was 5-3 and there was an outburst. but i think, you know, the fortunate thing is naomi osaka is the champion of the champion and she's been overshadowed by all this and it's important to reke sure we celebrate her. let me ask you this. the question has been raised about whether there was unfair treatment. let's talk specifically. the usta decided to fine williams $17,000.
7:34 am
10,000 h $10,000 of that was for verbal abuse. in 2009 at the u.s. open's men's final, roger federer berated the umpire, repeatedly telling him don't expletive talk to me. don't tell me when to be quiet. when i want to talk, i'll talk. federer was only fined $1,500. that appears to be an unequal punishment applied to federer in 2009 and williams in 2017. >> it's the u.s. open, a grand slam event. we have a code of conduct under the grand slams. that is administrated by the grand slam administrator. there's up to $20,000 for each fine based on the warning, the so therefore it could h been a maximum of $60,000. so it is at the discretion of that administrator who manages all of the fines to the grand sl slams. >> different standard for women and men? >> in my opinion, right now,
7:35 am
yes, and probably always has been. i think it's a matter of having a conversation with the two guys and saying, okay, let's cut it out, let's slow it down. and not perhaps understanding how they can have the same conversation with the female. >> why should women carry that extra weight on their back then? >> we shouldn't have to carry that extra weight on our back in anything we do. i think that's probably the context of the conversation. at the end of the day, serena could have handled it a little bit differently. she's passionate. she was speaking out. and i think for ramos, he was a little defensive at that point and was fed up as opposed to saying okay, let's get back to business. >> there does seem to be -- go ahead. >> there was another umpire who came down out of the chair and coached nick tras,ra bt pal.usta said that he went beyond protocol. that seems like pretty much -- and he was right back up in the chair. >> it wasn't on the main course. that's for sure. he was penalizepenalized, he wa.
7:36 am
you're talking about two men. these are global umpires. and they are managed by the tour and or the ipf in that manner or worked for them. we have the best umpires from around the world that come and work for us at every grand slam. >> you touched on naomi for a second. i really want to make sure that she gets her just due. my heart broke watching her feeling that in that moment she had to apologize for winning. even you, katrina, at the beginning, when you said -- do we have that tape? because it sounded like you were saying i'm so sorry it ended this way. that serena didn't win. so i'm thinking, here's this young woman standing at the best moment of her career and it seems like everybody in the building was against her at that time. when she should have been -- this should have been the happiest -- she couldn't even have the sell brace when she
7:37 am
won. >> i was talking about the behavior of the audience, the fan, not about the outcome of who won, okay. but this is about the biggest moment of your life. you are the u.s. open champ and a grand slam champion for the first time. you are the best player at the end of this event. and because of the turn of events with the crowd and the booing and everything, it wasn't really the way. so that was the outcome i was referring to. >> i'm so glad you -- >> -- a text message to her coach to make sure that she understands that she is celebrated and how proud i am of her. >> thank you. thank you so much. >> we'll be right back. when you rent from national...

>> reporter: good morning. this system works similar to what these clear terminals do where it will compare a picture up against a passport photo stored in a secure government database. critics are saying facial recognition may not work the same for everyone. >> can i see your boarding pass? >> reporter: the tsa is trying a facial recognition system it hopes will speed up lines while adding a layer of security. at lax's international terminal, the agency is testing a future where flyers won't need a boarding pass to go through security. >> the passenger experience is enhanced because you don't have to fumble through your belongings to pull out multiple i.d. documents. just walk up, pose for a photo and you're off on your way. >> reporter: the tsa says the images are not saved open the camera and are compared against the gallery of passport photos of people note to be flying that date to confirm the identity. the process takes as little as two seconds. a standard document check takes

about 20. >> i'm fine with it. i was just surprised by it. >> the people that have nothing to hide, i think there would be all for it. >> i'm not really concerned about my privacy. >> reporter: the lax test is part of a larger push to meet a congressional mandate for bio metric verification of people ern entering and leaving the country. the same technology is used for some international flights leaving the u.s. and for people entering, including this system at washington's dulles airport and this border crossing with mexico in texas. the critics worry facial wreck knicks technology may misidentify people of color. an aclu test incorrectly matched 20 members of ress, idtifying them as people arrested for a crime. the mismatches were disproportionately people of color. >> go through, build in the protections. >> reporter: this senator was also incharactorrectly matched test. he and senator lee have repeatedly called for the department of homeland security to halt of rollout of bio

♪ good morning to our viewers in the west. it's tuesday, september 11th, 2018. welcome back to "cbs this morning." ahead, hurricane florence threatens massive destruction in the carolinas by friday. we are on the south carolina coast, where people already are getting out. and only here on "cbs this morning," fbi director christopher wray on the terror threats today, 17 years after 9/11, are we safer? first here is today's eye opener at 8:00. >> americans are stopping to remember the september 11th terror attacks 17 years ago today. >> here in south carolina i asked the state trooper what happens if somebody doesn't evacuate, if they want to stay in their he said we can't force them out. >> this aows huicane. federal emergey declaration. resources will be ready. >> 130 miles per hour, category 4 storm moving west-northwest at
8:01 am
15 miles per hour, expected to intensify, though, once it gets done reorganizing. >> for now les moonves will remain an unpaid adviser to cbs. the company agreed to keep the investigation confidential. victims' advocates are pushing for transparency. protest over the police shooting death of a black man in his on apartment. officer firing what appeared to be into the crowd. former president barack obama is back on the campaign trail trying to rally democrats for the midterm election. and he reminisced the t was kicked out of disneyland for smoking a cigarette. obama was like, sure, go ahead. kick me out. kick me out. i'll just come back as a figure in the hall of presidents and stay there forever.
8:02 am
>> i'm gayle king with john dickerson and norah o'donnell where we all remember where we were 17 years ago. you see the reading of the victims' names, a tradition that i hope never ends. when you speak to the relatives of those who died that day, it's very comforting for them to hear their loved one's name on this day. >> a very significant moment for their families. we're also covering other news this morning. >> our top story, of course, is hurricane florence. that's where we begin. more than 1 million people from south carolina to virginia are ordered to evacuate this morning as hurricane florence, as she's called, churns closer to the east coast. the category 4 storm threatens to be the most devastating hurricane ever to hit north carolina. but it's still too early to say exactly where it will hit. >> forecasters expect florence will strengthen again later today, traveling over warmer waters before it makes landfall early friday morning. they're warning it could bring
8:03 am
storm surges up to 12 feet in some places. david begnaud is in myrtle beach, south carolina, where a storm watch is now in effect. >> i'm starting to see the cones set up by transportation officials. troopers have arrived. 12:00 noon, all that traffic will be going that way, away from the coast. if you decided not to leave and you want to hunker down in your home, it's your right to do so but as a state highway patrol officer said we may not be able to reach people in times of emergency because it may not be safe to do so. know that if you decide not to evacuate. the mandatory evacuation goes into effect at 12:00 noon. my crew have been in north carolina and south carolina the last 24 hours. it's hard to find water in some places. gas stations are starting to run out of fuel but we haven't seen chaos. everything appears to be pretty orderly. people are packing up, deciding to leave and doing so in an orderly fashion. here is the real fear. the storm could make landfall and start to stall. if that happens, that's the
8:04 am
catastrophic flooding that we could see in these areas. speaking of the flooding and the dangers from the storm, i think back to puerto rico, when we were there around this time of year for maria and people were talking about how resources couldn't be brought in from other states. the game changer is that people can come from other states and crews are coming from miami, louisiana and texas. that's the good news. they will be prepositioned, ready to respond once the storm strikes the east coast. >> david, thank you. fema administrator brock long joins us with more on the federal government's response. good morning, administrator. let me ask you, this hurricane is strong and it is big. i was looking at some of the data. less than 50% of the people under mandatory evacuation orders actually heed that call. is this a life-threatening storm? >> yes, ma'am, it is. it's not a question of if florence is going to impact the carolinas and virginia. it's going to. it's going to be a devastating storm. this reminds me -- i'm a north
8:05 am
carolina native. i grew up there. in 1989, hurricane hugo, last landfalling category 4 storm in the carolinas came right over my house. we were out of power for ten days. i was out of school for two weeks. this storm is setting up to be very similar to that one. we are hoping that the people would heed the governor's wo warnings in north carolina, south carolina and virginia today and make sure you take proper precautions to get out of the storm surge areas and facilities that can withstand the winds. >> the national hurricane center is warning that this storm is going to linger once it hits. how does that affect fema's response? >> yes, ma'am. this will be a marathon event. it will not be a quick hit across the coast. let's keep in mind that hurricanes can impact the entire state. we're looking at not only coastal impacts from cat 4 storm surge and high winds making landfall, but as this system comes inland, it's projected to stll out, which means copious amounts of rainfall through the
8:06 am
carolinas, into virginia, as well as many of the midatlantic states. we're positioning from basically south carolina to delaware as we speak to be able to support our state partners. >> and administrator long, there's also the fact that this area has been soaked so far this year. how does that affect things like trees weakening and falling, stuff that people might not recognize when they think of a hurricane? >> you're exactly right. unfortunately, the remnants of gordon passed through this weekend the midatlantic states, dropping a lot of rainfall, which saturates the rivers. the question is, how much more rainfall can these rivers handle? you're seeing forecasts of 30" or greater. i'm truly worried about north carolina, virginia, particularly the central and western portions of those states that haven't seen this type of rainfall in a long time. >> many people got smacked last year, brock, as you know, with hurricane irma and maria. what lessons did you all learn from that? >> i think the nation learned a lot. it takes more than fema to appropriately respond and
8:07 am
recover. it's like a chair with four legs, the federal government, that's one leg, state and local government, that's another leg, state organizations, that's the third leg and you, the citizen, that's the fourth leg. when all four of those legs go into response and recovery, the chair is stable. emergency management does its job collectively. it's a whole community event. one thing i like to remind citizens, citizens are the true first responder for any small emergency to the large disaster. we depend on people being prepared and we don't have a real culture of preparedness in this country. that, we need to work on. >> you say people take this very seriously? >> yes, please. >> please, please. >> cat 4 storm, potentially cat 5. we always plan at fema for one category higher. you're going to see massive amounts of storm surge along the coast, primary driver of evacuations. then this system is going to come in and cause devastating

when you find them for less. at ross. yes for less. the fbi has made a great the fbi made a great deal of changes in the structure and mind-set in the 17 years since september 11th, 2001. christopher wray took over the reins of the fbi a year ago. he and the men and women who keep us safe from terrorism have been busier than ever. joint counterterrorism task forces, including the fbi and other organizations, receive 15,000 tips a year. that's roughly 40 a day or two an hour. we spoke to wray about why he believes the fbi is far better prepared to deal with terror threats than it was in 2001. it's an interview you'll see only on "cbs this morning." do you think another 9/11 style attack could happen today? >> i will say this.
8:18 am
we are dramatically better positioned. the fbi is a totally different kind of organization in a lot of ways. >> we met with the fbi director at the 9/11 memorial and museum in new york. he spoke with first responders, still suffering from exposure to the toxic conditions at ground zero 17 years later. >> you fought to make sure that what happened that day would never, ever happen again. soetelp you now. >> 9/11 completely changed how the fbi does business. how has the threat changed? >> so i think the threat, today's terrorism threat still includes sleeper cells, al qaeda, all the kind of major terrorist organizations that you would think of. but we're also very focused now on home-grown violent extremists, which are people who are largely here already, in the united states, big cities, small towns, coast to coast.
8:19 am
and these are people who are largely radicalized online. >> how do you keep them from becoming radicalized online? >> well, the online issue is a challenge, right? terrorism today moves at the speed of social media. part of it is engage iing with social media companies in a way to try to get them to do certain things they can do voluntarily. >> is silicon valley being helpful? >> we are getting much better cooperation than we used to. i think there's a view that this is a shared threat. we all have kids. we all have family members. we all have potential victims. >> can you say how many terrorist attacks you've thwarted in the last year? >> in the last year or so, we've thwarted attacksn francisco, on the pier, prevented an attack at a shopping mall in miami. we prevented an attack in cleveland on the july 4th holiday, where there would have been thousands of people gathering to celebrate our
8:20 am
freedom. they had about 1,000 investigations into these home-grown violent extremists. that's about 1,000 terror investigations. >> that doesn't include isis or al qaeda related? >> doesn't include isis, al qaeda or domestic terrorism even. this is a significant issue. we had about 120 terrorism-related arrests last year alone. and that's just in the arrest context. so there's a lot happening every day, 365 days a year right now on the terrorism front. >> they've not revealed that before, that there were 120,000 terrorism arrests last year, 5,000 cases they're investigating nationwide. 15,000 tips a year. i mean, the fbi is working very hard to prevent another 9/11 type attack or from these home-grown terrorists as he said. >> so far they've been very successful at it, too, let's not miss that point. >> we should point out we'll meet the fbi director again tomorrow at fbi headquarters in washington. that will continue this very
