i'm officially announcing i am suing donald j. trump for stealing my old character. >> presented by toyota, let's go places. >> welcome to "cbs this morning." gayle king is off. president trump heads to argentina today to meet with world leaders after a stinging setback over the killing of "washington post" contributor jamal khashoggi. a large majority of the senate is pushing back against the defense of saudi crown prince mohammed bin salman accused of ordering the murder. the republican-led senate vote to end military support for the saudi-led war in yemen. even the president's closest ally senator lindsey graham voted in favor. >> i changed my mind. because i'm pissed the way the administration has handled the saudi arabia event is the just not acceptable.

better understand the role mbs played in the killing of mr. khashoggi. >> lindsey graham, speaking there with his gut. major garrett is at the g-20 meeting in buenos aires with the challenges the president faces there and at home. major, good morning. >> reporter: that senate resolution seeks to cut off u.s. military aid for sushaudi arabi long-running war. yesterday, the white house threatened to veto any kind of congressional action of this kind. that senate vote, clearly a setback for the administration, came after a closed door senate briefing led by secretary of state miami poke pompeo. mattis side-stepped questions about crown prince mohammed bin salon's role in the death. he said, we have no smoking gun he, meaning the crown prince,

was involved. the cia director whose agency has overseen the upz si.s. side the khashoggi investigation. to brand this breeching inadequate and withhold support, including that which could keep the government open and funded early next month. meanwhile, prince salman arrived here for the g-20. president trump said he would meet with him but there's currently nothing on the schedule. a high-stakes dinner here saturday night between president trump and chinese president xi jinping. amid signs both nations could be hurdling towards a full-blown trade war. the president's top economic advisers criticized china for ignoring long-standing u.s. trade complaints and yesterday both countries threatened to impose another round of tariffs on one another. one other possible development here, the president is scheduled to meet with vladimir putin but

russia investigation could scuttle those talks. >> there's going to be a lot of news coming out of that summit this weekend, major garrett in argentina, thank you so much. >> just opened lower a day after federal reserve chair jerome powell, suggesting the fed may be close to ending rate hikes. could affect everything from home loans to credit card debt. wall street had its biggest gain in five monthsier. the s&p 500 shot up 3% after powell's comments. interest rates were cut almost to zero in 2008 following the global finance crisis. president trump has repeatedly criticized powell for raising interest rates this year. the president blames higher rates for stock market gyrations and restraining the economy. the fed is expected to raise rates again in december and then three more times next year. the wage gap separating men and women is much larger than

previous thought. the institution for women's policy research claims women earn just 49 cents for each dollar that is paid to a man for over a 15-year span. that's a big difference from census data that show women make 80 cents for each dollar a man earns. jill schlesinger is with us to explain. eye-opening report. the census looked back over a year. this new report looked back over 15 years. what did it find? >> that's an important difference. because that takes into account that women take breaks from their career much more often than men. in fact, over the 15 years, women are working full-time only 28% of the time compared to 59% from men. this clearly from the report this is because women are most disproportionately affected by caring for their kids, caring for their parents and that takes them out of the workforce. as a result, when we look at these 15 years, we're seeing the wage gap blow out. it's actually pretty astounding.

we know that even women who are in for the whole 15 years are still making less. >> talk about that because not everyone taking off to have a family over those 15 years. they're still affected. >> fascinating statistic. so women who stay in the labor force for the 15 years compared to women who take just a year off. the women who take a year off make 49% less than the women who are working for the entire time. so there are other things going on and obviously this is one of those reports where you say, well, okay, great, now what. >> norah and i were talking about this off camera because the onus always seems to be on women. what can women do when they see this report to change this? >> this is really hard because as a financial planner, i used to always try to say to my clients way back when, you've got to really argue to get the best benefit and pay package as quickly as you can. early in your career. you've got to practice and you've got to really review

these benefits. the other thing you have to do is continue to advocate for yourself. this is very important because we know for many surveys, women argue very well to get raises for the people who work for them but not for themselves, which is crazy. we also want women to take advantage of retirement planning as early as possible. while you are working organize maybe you have a company match, put money away. squeeze out even a few dollars even when you're not working. >> obviously, ceos have a role to play in this as well. >> yes, this is about creating a benefit structure that is more friendly to families and we know that is a key. so that could be enhanced family leave, that could be more subsidizing of child care, and the reality is the u.s. is really lagging behind the rest of the world on this. we're the only developed nation that doesn't mandate paid maternity leave. >> clearly, we have a lot of work to do. jill, thank you. we have breaking news in

special counsel robert mueller's russia investigation. president trump's former personal lawyer michael cohen unexpectedly entered a plea deal just a short time ago. cohen admitted that he lied to congress last year about a plan to build a trump tower in moscow. telling a judge he did it out of loyalty, that that's why he lied. this plea comes just two weeks before cohen is set to plead guilty on tax fraud. >> president trump took a new approach yesterday in his response to the investigation. saying that pardoning his former campaign chairman paul manafort is not out of the question. the president said he wouldn't rule out using the presidential power if charges result from the investigation into his campaign. manafort has admitted to financial fraud and could spend the rest of his life in prison. paula reed is at the white house with the statements that has some people talking more seriously about obstruction of justice. paula, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. the special counsel is making

headlines again after months of silence. today they announced a new plea deal with the president's former personal attorney michael cohelp. this week, the president has been ramping up his attacks against the investigation. he seems emboldened by his new larger majority in the senate and his new acting attorney whitaker. the president is playing at the edges of his authority and these new moves come with some political risks. >> we have a lot of bad people, a lot of phony stuff like the russian witch hunt garbage. >> reporter: the investigation could be reach being its conclusion. after 19 months, 35 indictments and millions of taxpayer dollars spent. >> the witch hunt, as i call it, from what i hear, it's ending. >> reporter: now the president is looking to deploy a new weapon, a pardon. in an interview with the "new york post," the president said a pardon for manafort was never discussed but i wouldn't take it off the table. why would i take it off the table? >> i think the message is, listen if you stay loyal, i will

take care of you later. >> former whitewater prosecutor kim whalely said the issue of a pardon could open up the president further. >> we do not want pressure from someone who has greater power. that's the idea behind obstruction of justice. >> reporter: manafort's attorney has been updating the president's legal team on what the special counsel wants to know. the president was armed with that information as he crafted his own written response to the special counsel. >> written answers are finished. >> reporter: cbs news has learned the president's written answers to special counsel's team said to best of his recollection he did not know about wikileaks plan to release hacked democratic e-mails during the 2016 campaign and he also didn't know about the 2016 trump tower meeting attended by manafort, don jr., jared kushner and a russian lawyer promising dirt on hillary clinton. the president used that phrase

to the best of my recollection. that's something lawyers often advise their clients to say because it makes it a lot harder to prove that someone intentionally lied or committed perjury. four high school football players in maryland could face life in prison after being charged with raping some of their teammates. the 15-year-olds are accused of assaulting four freshman on the junior varsity team. it allegedly happened in the locker room at damascus high school in montgomery county, just outside washington, d.c. chip reid has the story. details are graphic and disturbing. >> reporter: good morning. prosecutors reportedly called the conduct of the defendants astonishingly cruel and are charging the 14-year-olds as adults. attorneys for them say they are only 15 and it went to the

extreme. damascus high school has long been a football powerhouse but the community is now in shock following charges of first degree rape against four sophomore members of the junior varsity team. according to the charging documents, the victims told police someone first turned often the lights to the locker room. one said two of the suspects threw him on the floor and one suspect held his feet down, then pulled his pants down to his knees before one of the suspects violated him with a broom stick. the suspects were laughing he said and then proceeded to do the same thing to other male members on the junior varsity football team. one victim began to cry while another says he was able to stop them. school district officials have referred to the incident and hazing or harassment and said physical abuse will not be tolerated and will receive serious consequences. >> i'm offended by the term hazing. it's not hazing. this is -- these are crimes. >> reporter: the suspects told them it was a tradition and the

broom started from generations ago. former damascus football player david umanzer said this wasn't his experience while on the team. >> of course we had horsing around but what i recall of haze, no, wasn't hazing, just us joking around. >> reporter: david felsen wants the case tried in juvenile court. >> we're told you're facing charges where you could go to jail for your life, pretty darn intimidating. >> reporter: he has filed a motion for his client to be tried in the juvenile court. all four of the young department ofs have been released on bond. prosecutors in texas raided the areas of the houston area archdiocese looking for so-called secret archives that could provide evidence in the clergy abuse case. father manuel lopez is accused of molesting two teenagers. yesterday's raid was related to that case.

now, that comes one week after nikki battiste reported allegations against other priests still serving in the galveston houston archdiocese and she is here with the new developments. >> reporter: good morning. the church uses the term secret archives to refer to documents it keeps confidential to protect people's privacy. any secrets among those files in houston are now in the hands of the district attorney. >> we're going to go wherever the investigation requires us to go. today it brought us here. >> reporter: investigators hauled boxes into the offices of the galveston houston archdiocese, seizing evidence in the investigation of father lopez. he's denied allegations of sexually abusing two teenagers in the late 1990s and early 2000s. the district attorney brett ligon says he's prepared for anything they uncover. >> we'll turn it over to the

appropriate federal agency. >> reporter: cbs news reported last week between other preecie within the diocese. neither has been charged. we tried to speak with dinardo, who's also the president of the u.s. conference of catholic bishops. >> i would prefer to do this at another time. >> reporter: he claims allegations against both preechts are npreecht s a priests are not credible. do you remember how you felt in that moment? >> i shrank. i was, like, i'm not here, i left my body. >> reporter: he told us by skype he was happy when he learned police, prosecutors and texas rangers were searching the arch diocese offices. >> it cannot be easy for the district attorney of montgomery county to be doing what they're doing and i'm very thankful for the support they are giving the

survivors. >> reporter: the d.a. tells us he's simply forcing the church to make good on the promise of transparency. >> although the catholic church has become kind of a sanctuary for pedophile priests, the state of texas is a sanctuary for victims of childhood sexual assau assault. >> reporter: the archdiocese says it's cooperating with the investigation. the justice department has asked all catholic diocese to preserve documents related to sex abuse. >> just keeps growing. >> it does. >> thank you. the nfl faces new controversial after a player accused of domestic violence is cut by one team but then picked up by another. ahead, why the washington redskins rushed to give

is far greater than what divides us. most of us would say that about a bowl of hot soup, especially when you're not feeling well. and chicken soup has been a popular cold remedy for generations. john blackstone met an arizona couple who bring the comforts of home to sick college students one bowl at a time. >> reporter: these days college students can order food on demand from just about anywhere. but this isn't your average meal delivery service. >> so how many are we delivering today. >> reporter: for more than a decade this couple have brought bowls of homemade chicken soup to arizona state university students who are feeling under the weather. what is the magic of chicken soup? >> it's warm, it's homey, it makes you feel better and it's not just the chicken soup, it's the fact that somebody who thought to come and give it to you. the fact that someone cares. i think chicken soup shows caring with love. >> reporter: the couple who runs

a jewish center near campus, says their soup program started organically is but now growing quickly. >> a little soup goes a long way. >> reporter: chicken soup doesn't only cure jewish students, right? >> right. >> reporter: we don't ask you what religion you are, you're not feeling well, you need chicken soup, we there are with chicken soup. >> reporter: any asu student or their parents can place an order for soup delivery over the phone or through an online portal at no charge. they deliver about 15 bowls every week. >> our goal right now is to make 64. >> reporter: 64. >> yes. >> and what many jewish students may be familiar with the matsa ball chicken soup, others, myself included, were trying it for the first time. >> is that big enough? >> perfect. >> reporter: perfect, okay. you heard of chicken soup before. >> uh-huh. >> you're not jewish. >> no. >> you hadn't had matsa ball soup. >> right. and i was just like might as well try it. i'm for new things.

>> reporter: kyle craddock's mother ordered the soup for him a few weeks ago. describe the taste? >> it tastes like chicken soup but the matsa ball is overwhelmingly amazing i would say. >> reporter: marlene widawer who lives here los angeles ordered a bowl for her daughter hanna when she got sick last year. >> it's kind of scary when you think about you can't get to your kid. but just to have this one small thing that they can do for the kids, it gives me, as a mom, living all these miles away some peace of mind. >> reporter: how quickly did it cure you? >> immediately. >> reporter: hannah is now the president of the board and stores extra chicken soup in her own freezer to deliver to other students in need. >> because somebody cares about you and it's really a beautiful thing that when i'm so far from home somebody is still here to make me chicken soup and give it to me when i'm chick like my mom

did. >> reporter: to see the smile on a student's face, that makes it all worth it. >> we hope that they'll feel that they received some good and in turn they will pay it forward. the more goodness we can have going on, our world would be so much of a better space if we could change the world with one bowl at a time, that would be really good. >> reporter: i can taste the love. for "cbs this morning," john blackstone, arizona. >> what you do with a bowl of soup, making someone feel better, sharing kindness, wishing them all. >> i can say that's multidenominational. everyone can eat it. everyone loves it. >> it's comfort food that i want right now, actually. >> i think we should order some for our kids. we have a few options in new york for our 10:00 a.m. lunch we have everything. >> second breakfast. you can hear more of "cbs this morning" on our podcast. it's available in apple podcast app or wherever you like to download your podcasts. you're watching "cbs this morning" if the
