it is an interview that you is see only on "cbs this morning," and he says all the women now accusing him of physical and sexual abuse, he says all of them are lying. > that's what he says. chicago prosecutors charged him with ten counts of aggravated criminal sexual abuse. authors say three of the four victims were under ij when the suspected crimes happened. he pleaded not guilty. federal and state authorities in at least two states, new york and illinois are now investigating a variety of allegations. the singer as you know, has faced scrutiny for more than a decade now. it was reignited in january after the lifetime series "surviving r. kelly," featured interviews with seven accusers and former members of his inner circle. they all say that kelly preys on vulnerable women and young girls. agoi am surprised that you todaare youit with us >> i'm of the lies. i've been hearing things you

know and seeing things on the blogs. i'm just tired. >> are the lies that you're hearing that disturb you most. >> oh, my god. all of them. that little girl's trapped in a basement. helicopters over my house. trying to rescue someone that doesn't need rescuing because they're not in my house. handcuffing people, starving people, i have a harem, what you call it, a cult. i don't even know what a cult is, but i know i don't have one. >> have you done anything that you regret? have you done anything wronging? >> lots of things wrong when it come to women that i apologized. i apologized in those relationships at the time i was in the relationship. >> have you broken any laws when it comes to women? >> absolutely not. >> the six-part series interviewed 50 people, family members, your former tour manager, numerous women who all claim you abused them. are you saying everybody in that

was not telling the truth about you, evebo >> you really look at that documentary which i'm sure you have. >> i have. >> everybody says something bad about me. nobody said nothing good. >> uh-huh. >> they was describing lucifer. am i lucifer? i'm a man. i make mistakes, but i'm not a devil and by no means am i a monster. >> i'm going to name names, andrea kelly, ex-wife, kit lu jones, lisa van lel, lizette martinez, faith rodgers, asante mcgee. you're saying everything they said in that documentary about you is not true? >> they are lying on me. >> why would these women say the same thing about you that you are controlling, that you are abusive, that you tell women when to eat, when to go to the bathroom, when they can sleep, where they can dress? why woesdifferent stories but i they were not true? and they don't know each other. that defies logic to me.

>> right. until you hear the explanation. you can start a rumor on a guy like me or a celebrity just like that. all you have to do is push a button on your phone and say so and so did this to me, r. kelly did this to me. if you get any traction from that and if you're able to write a book from that or able to get a reality show, then any girl that i had a relationship in the past that it just didn't work out, she can come and say the same exact thing. >> are you blaming this on social media. >> i'm talking about the power of social media. >> in 2008, r. kelly was found not guilty on 14 counts of child pornography. after prosecutors in chicago failed to convince a jury that he was a man seen in a sex tape with a girl as want to say to your fans? >> last month kelly was indicted again, this time charged with aggravated criminal sexual abuse of four women including three

who the charges say were minors at the time. have you ever had sex with anyone under the age of 17? >> no. >> never? >> no. >> i have to tell you, it's so hard to believe that based on all that we've read. >> i'm going to tell you something. >> what they said about you. >> what women said about me, so nobody's allowed to be mad at me and be scorned and lie on me. >> so they're lying on you. that's your explanation? >> absolutely. absolutely. absolutely. >> you feel that people have maligned your character? >> i have been an sass nayed. i have been buried alive. but i'm alive. >> so i think the point you're making is, and correct me if i'm wrong, that you have never held anybody against their will? >> i don't need to. why would i? how stupid would i be for r. kell, with all i've been through in my way, way past, to

hold somebody let alone four or five, six, 50 you said? how stupid would i be to do that? >> i didn't say you were holding. > that's stupid, guys. is this camera on me? >> yes. >> that's stupid. use your common sense. don't -- forget the blogs, forget how you feel about me. hate me if you want to. love me if you want. use your common sense. how stupid would it be for me with my crazy past and what i've been through, oh, right now, i just think i need to be a monster and hold girls against their will, chain them up in my basement and don't let them eat and let them out unless they need shoes down the street. y'all quit playing. qu i 't do this stuff. this is not me. i'm fighting for my [ bleep ] life. y'all, with this.

>> robert. >> y'all trying to kill me. you're killing me, man. this is not about music. i'm trying to have a relationship with my kids and i can't do it. y'all just don't want to believe it's true. you don't want to believe it. >> at this point we briefly paused the interview to give kelly a moment. his publicist helped calm him down. >> i hope this camera keep going. >> we're going to let the camera keep rolling. >> it doesn't even make sense. why would i hold all these women? their mothers and fathers told me we're going to destroy your career. >> but kelly's emotions remained raw. >> it's real girls out there missing. it's real young girls out there being abducted, being raped. okay? they really are on chains. they really do have chains on their wrists and they can't get out.

ended up buried. >> we have to have a conversation. i don't want you ranting at the camera. >> i came here for them to hear me talk. i need help. >> what kind of help? >> this is the kind of help i need. >> what kind of help? >> i need somebody to help me not have a big heart because my heart is so big, people betrayed me. and i keep for giving them. >> you sound like you're playing the victim here. you sound like r. kelly, you do. when i listen to you. >> i'm just telling the truth. >> you're playing the victim card. >> i apologized for that because this is the first time i was able to say something. i've said nothing. >> gayle, you remained tough and calm throughout that. >> i mean, it wouldn't do any good if we both got hysterical or if we both got very emotional. you could see, he felt that in his mind, everybody's lying. i said but there's so many people who are telling the same story. he kept going back, going back. i said the women don't know each

other. he said how do you know? he thinks everybody's trying to do a book deal or a movie and people are conspiring guess him. >> i've never seen anything like that. what was he like before the interview? because you didn't know him that well. >> he got very emotional several times. i met him maybe five years ago at a party where you say hi, how are you. it's not the time to say remember when we met five years ago. i hate it when people do that. i did ask can we have a conversation before the interview got started. i wanted to say we're going to give you a platform to say whatever you want to say. it's no secret he lives at trump tower in chicago. we went to his apartment there and we had a conversation. you talk into his apartment. there's a big -- there's a christmas tree that he keeps up all year long since his mother died back in 1993. he's very close to his mother. misses her very much because it was her favorite lida so he kps a t up all year long. it was like 90 degrees in there.

he was resting his voice because he would be singing later. >> what he is accused of is dastardly. >> exactly. >> you allowed him to tell his story and to see his behavior, his temperament is i think what is probably what is most revealing of this interview, as well. the pounding of the fists, the getting up. i was worried about you. i was actually worried but i saw the pictures. >> favorite son, favorite daughter all called me and said were you afraid? did you think he was going to hit you? i never thought that. i thought i might get accidentally clobbered. i never felt in danger talking to him. i just felt he had a lot of emotion he wanted to release, over, we said good-bye and at the end of the day, he was glad he was able to say what he wanted to say even if -- but it's hard to believe when you say robert, there are some accusations and you've never had sex with anybody under the age xa 17.

>> there's more coming, right? >> he s of the story. >> we have more of the story. >> in our next half hour, he talks about the two women who live with him and the allegations he controls their lives, allegations both women deny. we talked to them, too. we'll share that later on this week ahead only on "cbs this morning." >> overseas, counter-terrorism police in london are urning the public to remain veg lant after explosive devices were found at major transportation hubs. unknown suspects sent letter bombs to heathrow airport, waterloo train station and london city airport yesterday. no one was hurt. jonathan bigley atty is outside waterloo, britain's busiest station. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. the mystery continues today. package did havethem. the mail room of this train station behind me a final

destination. only one went off causing a small fire. sources believe this is the act of a pro trying to send some kind of message. police say the three packages were identical. all addressed to major transportation hubs with return addresses to dublin, ird and containing devices specifically designed to cause a small fire. only this one addressed simply to heathrow was opened causing the plastic packaging to melt. letters sent to waterloo and london city airport were identified as suspicious before they were opened. >> it looks like these packages have been designed to shock and to cause a stir, to cause a media response rather than to cause death. >> reporter: all three packages are believed to be linked. sources tell cbs news at this early stage they could be anything from a political message leading up to the uk's exit from the eu to some sort of grievance against transportation companies. and the motive is still unclear

as counter terrorism officials continue to track down the possible sender with the help of irish police, norah, there is a real concern that more packages% exist out there. >> jonathan vigliotti, thank you. researchers say north korea is pursuing a rapid rebuilding at a rocket test site. the facility was used for a series of long-range rocket launchers in recent years. satellite imagery shows parts of the facility have been rebuilt. that's happened over the past few weeks. this news comes just after the recent summit in hanoi between president trump and north korean kim jong-un that ended with no deal. kim had previously promised to close the site. analysts say there is no evidence that suggests north korea is gearing up for a new missile test, but this is still worrisome. does appear they're sending a message. president trump approved a disaster declaration for parts of alabama devastated by sunday's deadly tornado outbreak. that will make it easier for those areas to get federal aid.

peggy whitson to the table. she's here as parts of our coverage leading up to international women's day friday. good morning. >> good morning. >> i started to get teary eyed. i think you did, too. what you have accomplished is so incredible. so it's great to have you here. and nasa just announced there is going to be the first all-female space walk. taking place march 29th. we think of space, it tends to be a male-dominated field. how do we get more women involved in what you've done? >> i think we need to start earlier. i think it's important for us to teach young ladies, young -- but pretty much anybody, we need everyone to feel like science is cool, being a geek is cool. and keep that going because right now i think maybe with social media and different things, young people have different priorities in their lives. we need to maybe emphasize the fact that a career is important. >> i also think that universal message -- who were the naysayers, who are the people who told you couldn't do it?

>> i think it was just unbelievable from where i came from in rural iowa. it was pretty much unbelievable that i could do these things. luckily, i had parents who were so supportive all the time. >> i know, but peggy, you write in your "note to self," that it took you ten years of rejection. i think by year eight, i would think maybe i should go -- you go from ten years of rejection, they now call you space ninja, your nickname which i like, why is it that you still keep going? what was the fascination for you about wanting to be in space? >> i wanted to go into space since i was 9 when i watched neil armstrong and buzz aldrin walk on the moon. i think that got reinforced when i graduated from high school and they selected the first female astronauts. among them were two medical doctors and one biochemist. and -- which i ended up getting my degree in which made me think

it might be possible to become a astronaut. ten years of applying, that was maybe not the smartest thing in the world. >> it worked. >> yeah, but what's interesting, too -- people say, why, how did you get lucky enough to be the first commander on the station or the first chief, female chief of the astronaut office. it was that ten years. that ten years made me a better astronaut, made me more participated. i was doing negotiations in russia, working with small teams, leading. i all of that actually made me the person -- >> ready. yeah. >> go back to your parents for a second because some of us are. when you hear about s.t.e.m., people think of the classroom. but the parents create the structure and the groundwork for young women and young men to be able to reach after their dreams. what was it in particular that your parents -- >> i think they just believed in me. i remember my tmom telling me a 12 that i could be anything that i wanted.

i believed her. i think there's a time frame, at least when i speak to young people, that i notice, you know, from about 8 to 10, 11, 12, in that time frame, children are more receptive to you, and you telling them things are possible. >> and your "note to self," you wrote, "seeing the earth for the first time in orbit, you will be surprised that you never noticed the quality and texture of colors." really makes you appreciate the planet that we live on. >> oh, absolutely. absolutely. yeah. >> you mentioned the mission to the moon. that was a national project. that was one in which space exploration was something a president talked about all the time. what's your feeling about where our country is in terms of thinking about exploration? that moved all to the private sector now? is that a good thing? >> we've definitely not moved to the private sector. there's still a nasa in spite of the fact we haven't launched astronauts from the u.s. in several years.

we're still the lead of the international space station. it's been generating incredible amounts of scientific research, and those things that we're learning up there, how to maintain our bone density, for instance, is going to be beneficial for us to do these longer missions, going out to mars, et cetera. so all of that is -- is a process. i think we're in an interesting place now that commercialization, combining with government, for example the spacex arriving with ripley on board this last weekend. >> has elon called you for advice? >> no, no. yeah, no. >> would you like him to call you? that would be interesting. >> you know, we're combining this commercial capability. it's giving us a little bit more flexibility, maybe a little more innovative ways of doing things that aren't quite as easy to do in a nasa bureaucracy. but nasa's got this huge data

base of information and knowledge and experience, and the combination of those i think can be fruitful, which is the plan they have for the lunar gateway, a small stations that the orbit -- a small station that will orbit the moon, and we'll be able to do row battic and human missions down to the moon's surface testing things like solar electric propulsion and using the lift to mine materials that we're going to use either for fuels and use that space station as a fuel depot. >> what does a great day in space look like? every day. >> every day. >> would you go back? >> in a heartbeat. >> i'm going to cheer peggy on. >> peggy, thank you so much. great to have you on set. we'll be right back.
