7:17 am
at one point, barr stunned senators on that panel when he said he thought there had been spying on mr. trump's campaign. he then backtracked and admitting he had no direct of wrongdoing or meritless surveillance. democrats accuse barr of protecting president trump and, in the process, undermining his own credibility. days before barr is scheduled to release a much broader review or contents thereof of the mueller report. and even some republican senators were perplexed by barr's overall system. in the main, president trump knows the more doubts he can sow about the mueller investigation and his origins the more he can combat any evidence that might emerge wrongdoing. a memorial service for nipsey hussle is taking plals at st place at staples center in

♪ good morning to our viewers in the west. it is thursday, april 11th, 2019. welcome back to "cbs this morning." jay inslee is here in studio 57. the governor of washington state will tell us why his campaign is focusing on climate change. plus, we're going to go to augusta, georgia, to celebrate day one of the masters with jim nantz of cbs sports. first, here is today's eye opener at 8:00. this morning, julian assange's long standoff with international authorities is finally over. >> julian assange, the founder of wikileaks, holed up in this building, was arrested by
8:01 am
british police. >> how quickly could we see him back on u.s. soil? >> assange and his attorney they made it clear, they're going to fight these charges, so this could be a long time before he comes here. >> take a look at these flags. all of the wind is reminding me of covering a hurricane. >> it left an imprint of debris on that building behind me. this was truly heard and felt throughout the city. >> president trump said here yesterday the counterintelligence investigation was an attempted coup. attorney general william barr indicating he would investigate the investigation. >> bernie sanders says he is now a millionaire, thanks to the money he made from his best-selling book. >> the vermont senator denounced millionaires for years. >> i do think it would be funny if we started picking up sudden changes, like in his speeches, he says, now that i think about it, the 1% aren't that bad. it is the .1% that are really -- what? we sold another book. it is the 0.01% that are really
8:02 am
bad. >> this morning's eye opener at 8:00 is sponsored by blue buffalo. always seems to find a unique spin, whatever he's talking about, you go, trevor noah. i'm gayle king with norah o'donnell and john dickerson. we begin with breaking news. the story and the pictures are really pretty shocking. take a look at this. wikileaks founder julian assange is under arrest this morning after spending nearly seven years inside the ecuadorian emsie embassy in london. he's 47 years old. this video shows london police forcibly taking him into custody, just a few hours ago. >> the justice department revealed a criminal charge against assange. he is charged with conspiracy to commit computer intrusion, which carries a sentence of up to five years in prison. he allegedly helped and encouraged chelsea manning, the former army intel analyst jailed for giving classified information to wikileaks.
8:03 am
>> julian assange was seen this building, the ecuadorian embassy as he was put into a police van and taken to a nearby police station. now, it comes after mr. assange's asylum was revoked by the ecuadorian government. ecuador's president announced the decision, he accuses assange of what he describes as discourteous behavior and repeated violations of what they call international conventions. assange had been holed up at the embassy since august of 2012. he entered to avoid being extradited to sweden on rape charges. those charges have since been dropped. but assange fears being extradited to the u.s. after wikileaks leaked classified government documents. here's what else we know, in november of 2018, an error in a
8:04 am
separate justice department filing suggested there could be charges under seal against assange. now, the prosecutor in that case wrote the warrant, and should have to remain sealed if assange is arrested in connection with the charges. a court here in london found assange guilty of breaching bail. the first step in what will no doubt be a long legal journey for the wikileaks chief. >> thank you. a powerful spring blizzard is pounding several states in the central u.s. this morning. heavy snow and tropical storm force winds are creating very dangerous driving conditions. many cars and trucks lost control and went flying off the road just south of minneapolis. parts of western minnesota could get 12 to 18 inches of snow by the time the snow ends tomorrow. areas of south dakota have already gotten up to 18 inches. and the total could eventually reach, get this, nearly two feet.
8:05 am
>> whoa. >> in our series, the road to 2020, we're talking to current and perspective candidates about issues affecting the country. washington governor jay inslee is running a presidential campaign centered on fighting climate change. the governor, he launched a clean energy fund to invest in new technologies. the democrat also issued a clean air rule to cap carbon emissions in the state and expanded public transit in the seattle area. governor inslee joins us now. good morning. >> good morning. >> let me ask you this, a lot of people think in politics now you can't take on an issue that is this large. the opposite party of yours, the majority opinion in that party is that human contribution to climate change is minimal, is not the driving factor. how is this going to get changed in any significant way through the political process? >> well, through democracy, the people expressing their voices and they are expressing voices now. we are a scientifically literal country. just took the first pictures of
8:06 am
a black hole and yet we have a president of the united states in that thinks climate change is a hoax. he says wind turbines cause cancer, they don't cause cancer, they cause jobs. we have a message for america of job creation. we have 3 million people workinging in clean energy this area. the most rapidly growing job in solar. number two wind turbine technician. what is happening now is people are realizing economic potential and job creating potential of growing clean energy economy and that's why this is rapidly changing. >> you seem to accept, though, the system has to change for this kind of idea to be tackled. you talked about getting rid of the filibuster in the senate. you do admit the system needs to change and then the question is think of all of the laws that would have been passed if democrats wouldn't have liked in the last two years if the filibuster hadn't existed. >> well, listen, there is nothing wrong to say democracy can be reformed and improved. we know we need to get rid of gerrymandering so people have one person, one vote.
8:07 am
i believe that it is time to have popular elections so people's vote decided who the president is, rather than the electoral college. >> you want to abolish the electoral college. >> the electoral college needs to go. and importantly, if this nation is going to make any major reforms, in health care, in climate change, the filibuster needs to go. it is archaic, the time has passed, time for us to have democracy again and movement in this country. >> how much traction are you getting on the electoral college? a lot of people say it has to go, but yet here we are, a gazillion years later, and it is still here. >> we are making progress. we have an agreement to be bound by the popular vote. and we only need a few more states right now to make that compact effective. so you can essentially effectuate the popular vote without a constitutional amendment. we ought to have one person, one vote and the ability to move a clean energy economy. i'm the only candidate who is
8:08 am
saying this. we're the first generation, we're the last generation to do something about it. we have to make it our number one priority. >> i stayed up to watch you on the town hall. you seemed to be enjoying it. i'm a little sleepy. how about you? you said it is a matter of urgent peril and great promise. i think so many people, despite the evidence, don't get it. tell us about the peril and promise if you can in one or two or sentences. >> the peril is right now the midwest is under floods, we had -- in billions of dollars in damage we saw paradise, california, burn to the ground. we saw ashes on the hoods of cars in seattle now burning. the peril is obvious and personal. and people -- a couple in new hampshire the other day, whose daughter missed two years of college because of lyme disease spread by ticks now moving north, so the peril is obvious. i think the most interesting
8:09 am
thing is the promise, the promise of clean energy jobs, the promise of giving new people advanced manufacturing possibilities, the fact that today 3 million people are working in clean energy industries. and i think we're ready for a president who is -- who believes we can do big things again rather than being fearful and hiding behind walls. that's the spirit of america. i think we're ready for a leader like that. >> you sure you want this job? >> yeah, i'm ready. >> governor, we don't have a lot of time. real quickly, are you for medicare for all in. >> i'm forred ed mmedicare for who want it. we have a public option in my state. we should have a rapid expansion of medicare and i believe that is a very tenable way. we have to have the ability of everyone to have health care. >> and then quickly the largest employer in your state, boeing, the state, while you were governor, gave them $8 billion tax break, 346 people have died. has boeing adequately addressed this problem? >> no, they have not.
8:10 am
it pains me to say that because i come from a boeing family, my cousins, my uncle worked in boeing. i'm hopeful the boeing team can fix problems with the particular airplane. obviously there is a problem that naeem kneeeds to be addres should have been addressed earlier. >> should their ceo resign? >> i don't know the answer to that. we should no longer allow corporations to extort tax breaks from communities like happened in my state. i believe we should have a federal law that prevents them from doing that, the federal tax code to protect citizens. >> thank you. i covered the governor's race 20 years ago. rode the ferry with trudie, his wife. been a long time. >> one of us has not aged. >> thank you, governor. >> it is not norah. >> thank you, governor. i don't know what you looked like back then. you look

8:36 am
relate to it, but that's my favorite sports moment of the year. you can talk about the super bowl championship, they're fabulous games. but as far as the sports moment, it's my favorite one. so rich in so many ways, a time-honored tradition, a once-a-year measurement of the passage of time, theirs, jack and gary, as fans and those who have looked up to them as kids growing up. it's just -- there's nothing like it in any sport other than those first tee shots at augusta on a thursday morning. >> arguably the greatest tournament in the world. let's talk about some of the players this morning. tiger woods saying, i feel like i can win. he hasn't won a major championship since, i think, the 2008 open. how has he been playing? >> he's been playing okay. not as great as last year when he won an event in september. but he's been close. he's been in the 15th to 25th range in a lot of tournaments. i think he's going to play well this week. the one concern i would have is
8:37 am
he's missed a lot of shorter putts than he normally would, but that could change, a little tip here and there from someone, and he certainly knows how to play augusta national, but it's been 14 years since he won here. he tees off a little after 11:00 local time and i think that's a great time for him to start. he has a new driver in his bag, and i suspect once again he'll be in contention. >> and rory mcilroy trying for his first grand slam. how about that? >> you actually can only win it one time. you can repeat the majors. you can have two swings through a grand slam, i guess. the key thing is he'd be the sixth player to complete the grand slam. he's playing just directly behind the tiger grouping.
8:38 am
this is historymaking stuff, if rory can join jean sarazen and tiger and jack nicholas and ben hogan. he seems to be in really good form. i'm expecting that come sunday it's going to be whether or not all of that suffocating pressure is going to be something he can withstand. and i like this kid a lot. i think he can. i think he can definitely pull it off this week. >> jim, picking up on the suffocating pressure, i was struck that the last four winners of the masters have been mae superior winners. this has been a big stage. just watching them tee off, i got nervous. >>ood fou, john. i'm feeling the same nerves for them to get the ball airborne. jack and gary pulled it off, although you could see jack wasn't thrilled with his tee shot. i'm a little surprised by that, too. that's insightful stuff.
8:39 am
we've had four-consecutive years of a first-time winner. it's a testament, though, to the depth of the sport right now. like we haven't talked about brooks koepka. you know, everyone wants to talk about tiger. he hasn't won in 14 years. brooks koepka won three of the last six he's played in and no one talks about him. but, again, tiger is the biggest star we have in the game and the greatest champion. but there's so many guys we're not going to even talk about, whether it's justice thomas or justin rose or dustin johnson. there are so many guys capable of winning. the quality of the game is the bet ever in my mind. >> 34 years. i have to tell you, jim, as you know, i'm not a golfer. i don't know a lot about this game. i love bubba watson. but what about it is it for you? your enthusiasm is infectious
8:40 am
about it. it touches me every time i see you talk about this game. i mean that. >> thank you, gayle. i love visiting with you guys. i hope you know that. for me, this is the childhood dream. for me when i was a little boy, this is what inspired me that i wanted to be the voice behind the master tournament. those who knew men in my teens know i used to walk around saying one day i want to be at the masters. it's the greatest event of all, deep in my heart, and i feel very fortunate. >> is basketball coach tony bennett with you? >> no, he's not. >> i know he asked on air the other day. >> he did. >> good-bye, friend. bye, jim, bye, friends. >> we love you, jim and love watching it. really looking forward to it. thank you so much. you can stream the entire masters tournament online at

actor dominic west won a golden globe nomination for playing a cheating husband in "the affair." now he's taking on a role in a new adaptation of victor hugo's novel "les miserables." on masterpiece on pbs. he is haunted by his past after serving 19 years in prison from stealing bread. they want to put him back behind bars. >> how we turn out depends on our circumstances and how we are treated. >> and has your own experience led you to that conclusion? >> yes, it does. >> yes, it does.
8:46 am
dominic west, welcome to the table. i love you and david oyelowo together. great scenes. welcome. >> thanks. >> i don't know if we should start with "the wire," "the affair," or "les mis." >> let's start with "les mis." >> what i like about this is i've seen the play and the movie. and i think i like this the best. i think you get a more in-depth view of all the characters. what do you think? >> i think that's the reason i wanted to do it. when they first approached me i said, what's the point? there's a successful film and a successful show. what's the point of redoing this again? and then, i read the book and i found out there's a lot more going on than you can fit into a musical. >> you call valjean one of the greatest characters in literature.
8:47 am
why? >> he climbs up the sides of houses like spider-man, fights like iron man, but none have done 20 years in a french prison, so he's tough. a tough, strong man. what's more heroic about him is his constant battle with himself to be a loving, compassionate person who was brutalized in prison, and he opens himself up to love and compassion. >> let's talk about "the affair." the show runners wrote on twitter that the fifth and final season was incredibly painful to write but incredibly worth it. so, what will happen with your character this season? >> well, i was thinking that noah had slightly found a comic edge, that i'm really pleased about. in the first three or four episodes he's quite funny and now he's found, thank god, a bit of wisdom. he's been through the mill. he's been to jail and found some sort of wisdom in that and i was hoping he might --
8:48 am
