now, he is just the latest figure forced to resign because of a sex abuse scandal engulfing the catholic church. the end of cardinal donald wuerl's 50-year career in the catholic church came in a letter from pope francis this morning. in it, the pope accepted wuerl's resignation, but said there was sufficient elements for wuerl to have justified his actions. saying there is a difference between covering up crimes and simply making a mistake. he also thanks wuerl for having put the good of the church first by resigning. saying he is proud of him for doing so. wuerl has been under consistent scrutiny in recent months. his name appearing over 200 times in a pennsylvania grand jury report, accusing him of mishandling abuse cases when he was bishop of pittsburgh. and he has also been accused of failing to act on accusations against his predecessor in washington. former cardinal mccarrick who resigned in july over abuse charges.

>> were you aware of the rumors he was having relationships with other priests? >> no. >> reporter: speaking to cbs news nick ykki battiste in augu wuerl denied the charges against him. >> did you ever move priests quietly to another -- >> that wasn't our process. >> reporter: paul told cbs news he met with wuerl to report abuse he suffered when he was 13 years old but wuerl refused to pursue the case. >> he was very, very standoffish. i had a letter he wanted him to read. he would not open it. he would not touch it. >> reporter: now, in this letter where pope francis accepts wuerl's resignation, the pope also requests that wuerl stay on in an administrative role until a new archbishop can be named. wuerl has released a statement saying he hopes the church can now focus on healing and the future. he also apologizes to any past error in his judgment. >> errol barnett, thank you very much. this morning, the remnants

of hurricane mike rl ovchael ar the atlantic ocean lashing the coast with heavy winds and strong rain. the view from a helicopter shows the extraordinary damage in the panhandle of florida caused by the most powerful hurricane to have hit the region. >> nearly 1.5 million homes and businesses have no power. thousands of national guard troops and emergency workers are helping the survivors. omar villafranca is in mexico beach, florida, where the storm roared ashore less than 48 hours ago. omar, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. officials are calling this town ground zero for hurricane damage. a simple look around, you can see why. these piles of rubble are all that's left of several different homes. we can see the kitchen area over here, there's some refrigerators. we'll step over here. this is part of a bedroom set. we have a bed here. it's standing right in the middle of one of the busiest roads in mexico beach. the destruction here is absolutely catastrophic.

and it stretches for miles in every direction. entire cities around florida's panhandle are unrecognizable. homes and businesses ripped from their foundations. trailers split open and tossed aside like toys. and a coast like carved up by relentless surging waves. >> i never in my life ever dreamed i would go through something like this. >> help is arriving. rescue teams with dogs searched what was left of mexico beach. combing through piles of debris stacked 20 feet high. >> this area is not going to be back to normal for a long time. >> reporter: danny simon is with the louisiana task force 1, an emergency response team that just finished a 17-day effort hik this, can you compare it to anything you've seen? >> what we're standing in right now is what katrina did to new orleans. >> reporter: nearly 300 people here stayed behind to ride out

the power of the storm, 155-mile-an-hour winds, pushed everything this way. now, even though the storm has passed, the search and rescue will continue. first responders are planning to go door to door to other areas that they couldn't reached. and that's because an estimated 320,000 people in this region rode out the storm at home and they're expecting those death toll numbers could possibly go up. >> wow. omar, heart break, thank you very much. people in the panhandle are returning home to see what if anything is left. some communities were flattened. others were mostly spared. it will take weeks to clean up and assess the damage. and months or even years to rebuild. nikki battiste is in tallahassee after a firsthand look at the devastation. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. here in tallahassee, we're seeing some damage like this, trees down and power out. yesterday, we were an hour away in bristol, where the damage is even more severe. we went with people heading home for the first time since the hurricane hit after hunkering

down in safe places, and they were nervous to see what they would find. >> all my clothings aes are in . and my dresser. but they're all messed up. >> reporter: peeking into her bedroom for the first time since hurricane michael destroyed it, 4-year-old armani is upset her pink toys are now covered in debris. when you look in there, how do you feel inside? >> sad. >> reporter: her mother, brittany chambers, says when she first saw the damage to her home in bristol, she broke down. >> started crying. it's overwhelming. come home and find your home like this. it's a bit overwhelming. >> reporter: as the storm hit, she took her daughter with her to her job as a caretaker at a nursing home nearby. when she came home, her entire street was littered with downed trees and power lines. >> i couldn't drive home. i had to park my car and walk here. my heart was sinking in my stomach. >> reporter: we met chambers after we visited her neighbor,

perla olvera. >> there's debris everywhere. >> reporter: your house is still standing? >> that is my relief. my house is still standing. >> reporter: we first met olvera and her twin daughters at a local shelter we shared during the hurricane. she said she prayed there her home and family would be safe. you think your prayers were answered? >> yes. like i said, the lord put his hands on our home. >> reporter: like olvera, chambers is grateful, despite the damage to her home. >> materialistic things can be replaced. as long as i have her, this is everything that matters to me in the world. >> reporter: all of liberty county where bristol is located is without power. the local electricity company says it's ordered 300 utility poles to replace downed power lines. and it says it has no idea exactly when power will be restored. >> nikki battiste, thank you. now, overseas, turkish officials reportedly obtained recordings proving how

"washington post" writer jamal khashoggi was killed. "the post" reports american officials are aware of the audio and video footage. it purportedly shows a saudi security team killing khashoggi inside the saudi consulate in istanbul. now some senators want to block the sale of u.s. weapons to saudi arabia. president trump rejected that idea yesterday. >> as to whether or not we should stop $110 billion from being spent in this country, knowing they have four or five alternatives, two very good alternatives, that would not be acceptable to me. >> weijia jiang is at the white house, weijia, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. president trump says the u.s. is working with turkey and saudi arabia to find out what happened to jamal khashoggi. he says he wants to wait for more details from an investigation before decidinging how to proceed, but he is facing growing pressure from lawmakers who are calling for immediate

action. khashoggi who is a critic of the saudi regime was last seen ten days ago entering the saudi consulate in istanbul. turkish media aired images of what it described as a saudi hit squad allegedly flown in to kill khashoggi. cbs has not independently verified that information. a u.s. intelligence source tells cbs news there are signs that saudis may have planned to take khashoggi into custody and then back to saudi arabia. now, media companies, executives and journalists are pulling out of the saudi investment conference scheduled for later this month that usually draws some of the world's business elite. on capitol hill, lawmakers from both parties say the trump administration must hold the saudis accountable and that the u.s. must stop doing business with them if there's evidence implicating the regime. but president trump says there are other ways to handle the situation. and he is arguing to preserve that $110 billion arms deal to keep money into the u.s.

>> the story just gets more and more disturbing, weijia, thank you. the markets are higher this morning after the biggest two days of losses since february. the dow jones industrial average lost nearly 546 points yesterday. a 2.1% drop. on top of an 831 point plunge wednesday. the s&p 500 was also down 2.1% yesterday. cbs news business analyst jill schlesinger is here with what's behind the sell-off. jill, can we expect another sell-off this morning? >> a lot of this selling has to do with something very peculiar. it's actually the strength of the economy. as the u.s. economy has strengthened, the federal reserve has increased short-term interest rates. now longer-term interest rates are rising as well. and there's some fear among investors that that rise in interest rates could choke off the big expansion that's going on. 3% this year. and also, it makes bonds very appealing. so if you made a bunch of money in big tech stocks, you can now

sell some of that, move into a ten-year treasury and earn 3.2%. not a bad place to hide. >> plus the fed wants to stave off inflation, right? yet the president lashed out at the fed, calling the chairman j. powell loco. >> definitely unusual. the thing that's interesting is powell of course is the president's choice to lead the fed. and the fed has a big job ahead. it's trying to say we've got to stay ahead of inflation before it bubbles up and fossalso have foster an economy that creates a lot of jobs. the job situation is fantastic. last month, the unemployment rate dropped to a 49-year low. we're seeing some signs of a little bit of price pressures. not too much though. >> the fed has said they'll keep rising rates because they expect things to keep going well from now until 2020, which happen to be an election year. >> let's be very clear, the strength of the economy right now is something we're going to looking at going forward.

it's also going to be very important. we've got earnings season coming up. we'll find out from companies how they think they're going to do going forward and also how trade policy might be impacting them, because now we're starting to feel the impact of the tariffs in certain industries. >> all right, the opening bell is just a few hours away. we'll be watching. president trump spend some time yesterday taking it yeezy with kanye west. he let the entertainer do most of the talking in the meeting before they had lunch. west turned that photo op into another one of his vintage viral moments. major garrett is at the white house. major, good morning. >> good morning. kanye west, fascinated, amused and silenced president trump, possibly for the first time since inauguration day. the rapper's rifts ran the gamut, race, prison reform, liberalism, his own mental health, superman cape, what he called the president's hero journey. a raw reality tv look and feel.

>> i love this guy right here. >> reporter: call it the wild west wing. >> how does it feel to be in the oval office? >> oh, it is good energy in this. >> reporter: kanye, captivating. >> i'm going to go ahead, drop some bombs for you. 98 percentile i.q. test. >> reporter: some profanity with nfl great jim brown quietly watching. >> nonpolitical, no bull [ bleep ], put the bleep on it, however you want to do it. >> reporter: with the make america great again hat, west went all hero worship on the president. >> i put this hat on. it made me feel like superman. >> reporter: then turned to lament the absence of masculine role models then and now. >> my dad and my mom separated, so i didn't have a lot of male energy in my home and also i'm married to a family that, um, you know, not a lot of male energy going on. >> reporter: like his wife, kim kardashian, whose own ovalohe

release of a drug offender, west was in the white house to win clemency for another prisoner, larry hoover, serving six life terms for gang and drug offenses. >> in an alternate universe, i am him. >> reporter: near the end, the president said west could be a surrogate or a future presidential candidate. >> he could speak for me any time he wants. he's a great guy. smart cookie. >> reporter: on the issue of crime, west said he came to the white house with a message from chicago for the president. don't use stop and frisk. stop and frisk is a police tactic where street interrogations can occur without probable cause of an underlying crime. the trump justice department supports it as does the president. during this discussion, west referred to mr. trump as bro and in the end the president said he had an open mind, ug suggesting stop and frisk he might reconsider. >> the president never seize ceo amaze us and surprise us.

a lot of material for your second book, major, i'm sure. >> remember, the context, too. i mean, that moment of sort of refrigerator poetry was happening in the middle of a major hurricane hitting. there was a time in american politics when a president wasn't allowed to do anything but be laser focused on the hurricane. >> hurricane and international crisis. >> no words. well, a stunning disclosure led to a sexual assault charge against harvey weinstein being dropped. ahead, only on "cbs this morning," the attorney for the alleged assault vi

the anti-tobacco helped. it was hard to get people to stop smoking but when there was second-hand smoke, there was a real movement against it. if you don't have your child vaccinated and they get a virus, they could give it to a child who is immune suppressed, undergoing cancer therapy or childhood arthritis. so we have to protect others so the hope is this new movement will be like a second-hand smoke movement and will push people. it's not just for your own child but other children, too. >> what's surprising is that 95% of kindergartners, almost 95% of them, did have vaccines. why is it so important to get to 100? >> because exactly that reason. it's children who -- the reason we're vaccinating, these viruses can cause major problems, even death, in children. i want every child to have the opportunity to grow up and actually have a normal life without the ramifications of having one of these childhood viruses and we can do that. we have the technology.
