fire, are being investigated. wind gusts this week are forecast to hit as highed an 70 mile always hour. we mentioned the 58-miles-per-hour gusts today, this morning. that could force crews to fight the flames solely from the ground. the camp fire now in northern california has forced more than 50,000 people out of their homes. in the town of paradise, nearly wiped out by that fire on friday, firefighters right now are scrambling to save any structures that are still standing. this morning, we're learning more about the people would risked their lives to save others. really an extraordinary scene at the river hospital where people loadled patients into their personal vehicles and drove them to safety while thousands of buildings burned around them. mireya villarael is in paradise. >> reporter: the scorched cars, one of the few evacuation routes

missing here in this area. we did speak with someone at the hospital who says all of the patients are accounted for but they still have four employees that are missing. as of right now, we understand the next process is trying to identify any remains found here in the county area as they search through the rubble. we spoke with wilkin who says the area he was in, the hospital, the wing, was burned to the ground, just moments after they were able to evacuate. >> all right, thank you very much. what this area needs is rain. that is not going to happen. it would be helpful if the winds died down. they're in fact picking up. that is supposed to happen for much of this week. again, the progress that was made over the weekend is in jeopardy right now. we're going to have much more on all of this on tonight's evening news. we're going to spend the day here with cal fire so we'll have all of that later on tonight. for now, let's go back to the studio. >> mother nature does not seem to be cooperating. i always think in these

49.1%. in the senate race, republican rick scott leads democrat nelson by an even slimmer margin, 50% to 49.9%. it's that close. both contests are within the margin for mandatory machine recount. manuel ba hoshgess. >> reporter: good morning, gayle. working 24/7 to try to recount 8 million ballots. they have a thursday deadline to do that. that could be a challenge. one day after democrat andrew gillum withdrew, partisan protesters continued their job. >> it is no longer we the people. >> reporter: some republicans

counted in this process. >> everybody keeps saying here we go again, florida, florida, florida. >> look, the truth of the matter is 65 counties were able to follow the law and make sure the process went as smooth as possible. sadly two counties did not follow the law. >> reporter: the state's law enforcement agency has said so far there is no evidence of voter fraud. the senate race could end up in a second recount, a hand recount. where workers would review questionable ballots one by one to try to determine voter intent and that could lead to multiple court challenges, norah. >> we will continue to follow closely, manuel, thank you. votes are being counted in two other states where crucial races are too close to call. in arizona, democrat sinema is expanding her lead over mcsally. sinema is more than 30,000 votes ahead with about 200,000 still

uncounted. in the georgia governor race, kemp leads abrams by about 60,000 votes. the abrams campaign filed a federal lawsuit yesterday asking a judge to push back the vote certification deadline and count ballots. it says were wrongly rejected. she needs about 22,000 votes to force a runoff, so if anybody thinks the election's over, it's not. >> close races. well, congressional democrats are on a collision course with the new acting attorney general. democrats who will control the house in january vow to protect special counsel robert mueller's russia investigation from whitaker. whitaker, appointed by president trump last week, expressed skepticism about the investigation. paula reid is at the white house with the latest. >> reporter: in a letter to justice department staffers, whitaker vowed to run a department that is fair and held to the highest ethical standards. his murky relationship with the white house and previous

from whitaker would has visited the oval office several times. in october, the president praised him. >> i can tell you, matt whitaker's a great guy. >> reporter: but on friday -- >> i don't know matt whitaker. >> reporter: kellyanne conway tried to clarify. >> the president's point, he's not putting a friend in there who he's known for his entire life. >> reporter: the president is deep in the process of trying to select a permanent attorney general but some of the names that have been floated including ju giuliani are likely loyalists and they would would work to protect the president from the russia investigation. president trump faces criticism over his absence from some events commemorating the 100th anniversary of the end of world war i in france over the weekend. the president did not participate in a process of world leaders yesterday, marking the end of combat. the white house cited security concerns. the president and first lady arrived later by motorcade.

much. i've already read it twice. its a tour deforce. i laughed and a cried. it is exquisitely written, so vulnerable, so vivid. so i want the whole world to read this book and if you're in a book club, i encourage you to choose this book for your club and let's all read it together. its michelle obama's personal story, but i know it will spark you to think about your own becoming. the book is available starting tomorrow. get yourself a copy, but i believe every woman you know is going to want a copy so get one for her too. read it together. you're all going to love it. i also sent along a clip of my interview with michelle obama. >> you write about the idea that donald trump stoking the idea that your husband was not born in this country. donald trump was putting my family's safety and risk and for this i'll never forgive him.

why was it important for you to say that at this time? >> because i don't think he knew what he was doing, that for him it was a game and for the commander-in-chief, which he now is, the threats and security risks that you face as the commander-in-chief, not even within your home country but around the world are real. and your children are at risk and the difference -- when you now in that position you understand that, while -- while you live in a bubble, your children have to live outside of the bubble and in order for my children to have a normal life, even though they had security, they were in the world in a way that we weren't. >> oprah's conversation with michelle obama will air in a primetime special thursday on the o network. you can see it on the own network. i'm living for chicago this afternoon, why? because tomorrow, i get to speak

with michelle obama. you can see that interview wednesday right here on "cbs this morning." i read the book over the weekend. i have 24 pages of notes that i've now whittled down to ten, so i got to do a lot of whittling because there's so much in the book. i can't wait for people to read it and can't wait to talk to her about it. >> can't wait for the interview. right now its time to show you some of this morning's headlines. "the wall street journal" political clash may have led to the firing of a top facebook executive. they fired palmer lucky after he donated $10,000 an antihillary clinton group. he told people he was tired for supporting donald trump. facebook spokesperson told "cbs this morning," quote, we can say unequivocally that his departure was not due to his political views. annoying robo calls are at epidemic levels. a spam call blocking service in new york said it headed off more than 850,000 health related

robo-calls in october. that's five times the number in september. regulators say some of these illegal calls are fraudulent. many offer skimpy health plans that do not cover what you might need. >> they're getting good with the robo calls. and "usa today" reports on pop-up fever among new retailers and long time brands trying to tap into the holiday rush. wayfair is setting up in malls and fao schwarz. party accessories flyers, party city will have 55 temporary toy city stores open through the holiday season. every day planned parenthood workers serve more than 8,000 people in more than 600 clinics across the country. in 2016, nearly 2.5 million people turned to the organization for health care. this claim amid increased scrutiny of its leadership in the political arena. beginning today those responsibilities fall to lina

when who takes over as the new president. she was previously baltimore's health commissioner and she's here only on "cbs this morning." good morning, doctor, how are you? >> i'm doing well. its my first day on the job -- >> and you're with us, yeah. >> you're the first doctor to lead this organization in half a century. what do you plan to bring to the organization from your background? >> well, this is deeply personal to me. i was a patient of planned parenthood and so was my mother and my sister just like one in five women in america. as a doctor, i am proud to lead our organization as we deliver life saving care to 2.5 million people every year. >> why did your family use planned parenthood? >> when we first came to this country, my mother didn't have health care anywhere else and planned parenthood was there for her just as its there for women across the country to provide cancer screenings and birth control. we do more to prevent unintended pregnancy every year than any other organization. >> did you have any trepidation,

you're the mother of a 14-month-old baby, you're still a practicing emergency room physician, it is now become such a political -- politicized and such a controversial job, did you have any trepidation about taking it? >> being a parent has clarified my values and what i want to do is to shape the future for my son eli and its a future where all people are treated the same, that all people have the right to health care and where its a society where we trust women and we trust all people to make the best decisions for themselves and their bodies. >> so were you encouraged after the elections? >> yes and no. on the one hand, we saw people rise up, women, people of color rise up to speak in favor of reproductive rights and access to health care, but on the other hand, less than 24 hours after the elections, the trump administration came out with new rules that would prevent employers or that would allow

employers to deny women birth control coverage. i can't believe its 2018 and we're still debating birth control. imagine if we're having the same conversation about have a sec toe mys or insulin. women's health care is health care and health care shouldn't be political. >> it is your first day at the job but you are familiar with the trump administrations health commissioner in baltimore. you sued this administration twice and won. given that this is a president who seems to hold grudges and has personal reactions to people directly, how do you plan on working with this administration going forward? >> i come to this work as a doctor and not a politician. i'll work with anyone who wants to expand access to health care. for me its deeply personal. i treated a woman who waited more than a year before she had a lump in her breast examined and by the time she got treated, it was too late. she had met static cancer and she guide died not long after i saw her. its about saving peoples' lives.

that's the work we've done at planned parenthood for over 100 years. >> doctor, you said becoming a mother clarified your values, so many people i've talked to who want to restrict abortion rights said parenthood clarified their values and that's why they want to restrict abortion rights. what do you tell those people that have the same parent based authenticity that you claim? >> my problem is if they want to impose their own beliefs on other people, as a physician, i'm trust my patients. my job is to give medically accurate information to my patients and allow them to make the best choices about their health. i don't think that politicians have any role to play in the exam room in determining people's personal, medical decisions. i trust women. >> let's talk about what's been happening at the ballot box. you had seven more governors

that were pro-abortion elected and also antiabortion laws that passed in alabama and west virginia. alabama became the first state in the nation to enact a personhood clause in its constitution, west virginia became the first state to approve a measure stripping the state constitution of any abortion rights restrictions, including an issue about medicaid funding. what's happening in the states? >> we're seeing mixed results and we are seeing people rise up in record numbers in favor of women's health care. we have more than 25 governors now who are pro-women's health. we're also seeing solidly red states like utah, idaho and nebraska voting in favor of women's health care. health care has to be a fundamental human right and that women's health care is health care. >> so is this argument that roe v. wade is going to be overturned is that hyperbole?

>> there's a very real likelihood that roe v. wade could be overturned in this supreme court, which would leave 25 million women, which is a third of women of reproductive age in this country without access to reproductive rights. >> some other case that comes through that restricts abortion rights. >> there are 15 cases right now that are just one step away from the supreme court and in the last seven years there have been 400 laws passed in different states that directly restrict women's access and i'm deeply concerned about this, from a public health perspective. >> your first day on the job, you got a lot of work to do it seems. >> thank you. >> i'm excited to do it. >> i can tell you. >> thank you for coming today. >> thank you. emmy winning journalist ann curry is working to reunite people with key figures from their past and she's here. a look at the new season of her show and her thoughts on the me too movement after

we're caught in major events like wars or humanitarian disasters there are people in our lives who we have to thank, who we might forget if someone didn't remind us. but in this particular case, dave's wife saw the series and dave saw it as well, but dave's wife is the one that pushed him to reach out to us so we followed up with the story. and he's looking for the guy. >> and he doesn't know if he's alive. >> who didn't have to save him. dave's under fire way bunch of guys. they were in a helicopter that crashed in cambodia, they're under heavy fire, they know they're not going live, it's really bad and sent out a mayday right before they hit the ground. he doesn't know if anybody heard it. back at home base, the military base, they actually felt that they cannot send another ship go get them. but one guy who's delivering heavy equipment in a chinook. you saw the size of that. you don't go rescuing people in a chinook goes and turns around to his crew and says, guys,

should we go get them? we just heard the call. and everybody on the crew said let's go get them. they risked their lives, came in under heavy fire and opened up the back of the chinook so these guys could run in and everyone was saved. and now dave wants to meet the man, the pilot who made that choice. >> and so did his wife to say thank you, because without that we wouldn't have the children. they had little children. they wouldn't have had the grandchildren that they have. was such an emotional episode between the two of them when they finally do connect. >> in this case you've got a story, and she's just a wonderful interviewer. >> the wife. >> and her husband served three tours of duty in vietnam. this is a woman who served just like her husband served. that's dave when he was younger in another encounter. >> the season also looks at the women's movement and immigration as well. >> yeah, the women's movement, which is interesting because we in what i think is the third wave of the women's movement. the first wave being the one that gave us the right to vote,

the second one that gave women opportunities. had is the one that's trying to get women past those hurdles that prevent them from reaching their full potential. and there are a lot of reasons there. so we talk about the second wave and we meet women who not only did something amazing because they had the opportunities, but one woman actually two women who actually risked their lives for the equal rights amendment and what they think of where we are today. i mean, that's really -- and also the haul kausolocaust. >> the message is don't wait. >> that's right. time ticks by and you don't know if you've run out of time. and you don't want to run out of time. but even if you do run out of time, there are people who you can reach who with want to know, right? >> that's what dave kept saying. >> speaking of time, gayle and i have a question for you about where we are in the me too movement. >> since you area last here

there's an a reckoning and it still continues. what do you think, anne, it will take for women to reach their full potential? >> i'm just a report sorry my opinion really doesn't matter. but i think if we look at history, what we notice is that it's actually legislation, changes in system and company policy. these are are the things that cause real change. women coming out to vote before, now we've seen the hundred women now on the house of representatives. there are 435, 34 seats in the house of representatives, last time i checked. so, you know, that's not even a fourth really. so we have a long way to go. it's a milestone, but it's about systemic change. so the civil rights act of 1964 was the ledge -- piece of legislation that forced open the doors saying you cannot discriminate against women. so first step but it's a very important one. >> as is the theories. great to have you on. >> thanks so much for having me.

>> we'

entered a fourth day -- battling the g camp fire that's killed 29 people. good morning. it's 8:55, and i'm michelle griego. cutes in butte county have entered their fourth day battling the devastating camp fire that has killed 29 people and scorched 176 square miles. 6400 homes are destroyed. a live look outside from our exclusive sales force camera, and you can see the bay bridge, but you cannot see the east bay because the air is so thick with the haze from the smoke. the national weather service expects the air quality will get even worse today. today there's a number of events going on as the nation

saving people money on car insurance. good morning, i'm gianna franco, and we have bart delays this morning. the freeways, northbound 87,

and reports of a crash here, and the crash cleared to the shoulder, and it's backed up to the expressway. 11 minutes to 101. 101 light this morning, not a lot of cars on the roadway, and if you want to use that instead, good to go out of the south bay, and it looks like traffic is busy before 380, a crash on the shoulder, and slow approaching the scene, but southbound from east moore avenue to 380, an easy ride through there. thank you, gianna, talking about the smoky skies out there, and the live look with the sales force tower camera, and you can see how smoky and hazy it is to start the day. spare the air alert in effect for the bay area, due to the unhealthy air quality, and please be safe and limit your outdoor exposure. hazy, smoke-filled sunshine, and mid-60s for san francisco, and upper 60s, oakland through mountain view, and san jose, livermore, napa, and we will

continue with the hazy sunshine through tuesday, wednesday, and thursday, and not a lot of improvement over the next few days.
