wall street opened higher this morning in spite of concerns about the escalating trade war with china. dow jones industrials plunked more than 600 points yesterday, their worst loss in more than four months. this followed china's decision to raise tariffs on $60 billion on u.s. goods after president trump increased tariffs on chinese products. ben tracy is at the white house trying to untangle all of this. the president is ready for more conflict. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. so the president has already sent out several tweets this morning about china and one thing that the u.s. is in a better position now than if he had reached a trade deal. meanwhile, china is vowing to fight this trade war to the finish. >> we'll let you know in three, four weeks whether or not it was successful. you never really know, right? but i have a feeling it's going to be very successful. >> reporter: president trump seems confident he's winning the trade war. his advice to american companies worried about higher prices due to tariffs, stop buying products

from china. >> open your division or open up your product, having it made in this country as opposed to made in china. >> reporter: frustrated at a lack of progress the president is taking the first step toward imposing tariffs on another approximately $300 billion worth of chinese goods. this would make items americans regularly buy 25% more expensive. with nearly 5,000 products impacted, you will feel the affects whether you're shopping at the supermarket or the hardware store. baby products like infant formula, pacifiers and clothing will get more expensive. and so will apple products like iphones and ipads. >> i would say it's everything but the kitchen sink but it turns out kitchen sinks are on this list, too. >> reporter: american farmers already reeling from the first round of tariffs last year will likely be hit hardest. >> our farmers have been incredible. no country can get in the way of our farmers. >> reporter: president trump says he plans to bail out farmers who have lost business because of the tariffs with

about $15 billion of tariff revenue. that's the tax u.s. companies are paying to import many chinese goods. this despite the president's repeated claim that the chinese, not american, are paying the price for the trade war. >> no one is winning and clearly everybody is potentially going to lose and probably lose a lot more than they realize. >> president trump pns to meet with chinese president xi jinping at the g20 summit in japan next month. you may see the two leaders try to work out some sort of ceasefire face-to-face but so far there has been no announcement of new trade talks leading up to that meeting. >> reporting from washington. some farmers in the u.s. say the disruption of formal trade with china has forced many of them to go bankrupt. dean reynolds is in princeton, illinois, 90 miles west of chicago, with a story of one farmer who says he wants business not a bailout. dean, good morning to you. >> reporter: good morning. we spoke to a sixth generation corn and soybean farmer who told

us that china used to be one of his biggest buyers, but because of trade difficulties with america china is looking elsewhere for supplies, to south america or africa, leaving american goods with no place to go. >> we've been here this particular farm for over 100 years. >> reporter: evan says a trade war is the last thing he and his fellow farmers need. >> we've seen decreased profits for the last six years and mother nature is throwing us a pretty tough spring, so it's definitely not an easy time to be a farmer. >> reporter: he says the president's offer to help farmers through these tough times is nice. >> but you don't want assista e assistance, right, you want markets, don't you? >> ideally we would love to have markets, right. exports is what we're good at and that's what we want. we'd love to see resolution to the trade war. >> reporter: because china plans

to impose retaliatory tariffs on american goods, including soybean-related products, they will plant only corn this year. >> what would you tell the president if he were standing right here? >> i'd tell him that we've supported him from the git-go on trying to bring china to the table and make them more accountable for their practices, but every day that this ticks on farmers are the ones taking it on the jaw. >> how long is this going to go on before you say, hey, this is too much, you're ruining us out here. ? >> i think to a point you could say we're already there. you know, we appreciate the support he's given farmers, farm bankruptcies are up all over and we are just not in an economy that can handle this stress much longer. >> reporter: now, the american soybean association said yesterday that with low prices unsold soybean stocks are expected to double, but evan

remains hopeful and still reliant on the president to get the best deal he can. norah. >> terrific reporting dean. thank you so much. u.s. investigators believe iran or groups backed by iran are behind attacks on four oil tankers in the persian gulf region. the incidents come among growing tensions. "the new york times" reporting the white house is reviewing military plans for a possible conflict with iran and as many as 120,000 u.s. troops could be deployed to the middle east. a report says the plans do not envision a land invasion of iran. we are following developments from london. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. investigations are still under way into what exactly happened to those four oil tankers in the persian gulf. the united arab emirates and assault and battery said they were, quote, sabotaged, with u.s. officials say they believe iran was involved. the iranian foreign minister has

denied that and accused washington of escalating the situation. an online maritime shipping service quoting uae sources is reporting that attackers used limpit mines attached to the hulls of the vessels, although satellite images display no major damage to the tankers, this video shows that the norweigian ship's hull has been visibly gouged. whatever the case, theres no definitive evidence linking tehran to the attacks, but there are already fears the situation could lead to an armed conflict. last week the white house ordered additional ships and aircraft into the region after warning of attacks from iran and its proxies. at this stage there are still more questions than answers but the concern now is that tensions could boil over into something far more serious. this morning iranian backed houthi rebels claimed to have carried out drone attacks on

saudi installations. >> thank you very much. officials in the houston area are investigating a deadly police shooting caught on video last night. the cellphone video posted on social media shows a bay town, texas, police officer firing five shots after struggling to arrest a 45-year-old woman. nikki battiste is covering this still unfolding story and joins us at the table. the video we have seen is disturbing. >> it's extremely disturbing, gayle. police say the 11-year veteran was apparently doing a routine patrolout side of an apartment complex when he came across a woman who he knew had outstanding warrants. we must warn you, the video you are about to see can be disturbing to some viewers. this cellphone video begins as the officer confronts the woman. >> i walking to my house. >> as she moved away from the bay town officer, he pulled out his taser and fires. >> you are harassing me. >> the woman continues to struggle with the officer as she falls to the ground.

as one point telling him she's pregnant. she then according to police gains control of the officer's taser, turning it on him, that's when he fires his gun at the woman five times. she was pronounced dead at the scene. >> i heard the gun shots and then all of a sudden i heard the ambulance. >> i have never seen anything like this. after five years staying here. >> reporter: witnesses who saw the woman frequently walking her dog in the area say they believe she may have had mental issues. >> sometimes you would see her, you know, get into it with people around the apartments. just typical her. she is not a bad person, she didn't hurt nobody. >> reporter: investigators say the officer was out doing a routine patrol when he got out of his car to approach the woman. steve doris of the bay town police department says an preliminary investigation found it was necessary for the officer to use deadly force. >> the officer got tased with his own taser. if somebody is iz at thatting you, takes your taser away from

you and starts tasing you there is a very good likelihood it's going to escalate and get very bad for the officer from there. >> a witness also said the officer lives in the same complex. police say the officer was wearing a body camera, but that video will not be released yet. the district attorney's office is investigating the shooting along with the bay town police and that officer is now on three days' leave according to policy. >> terrible. >> more questions there. >> yeah, very disturbing. thank you very much, nicki. the company behind the maker of round up weed killer plans to appeal a more than $2 billion verdict against it. a jury in california yesterday found the popular herbicide was linked to an elderly couples' cancer. the judgment is the third since august against monsanto's parent company bayer that involves this product. anna werner has been following the controversy surrounding round up. good morning. >> good morning. the two other verdicts were huge, about $289 million and $80

million but those are junction a fraction of the more than $2 billion awarded to a married couple from california. the jury came to its decision quickly, deliberating less than two days. >> we've been finding cancer for nine years now. it was caused by round up. >> for more than three decades albert at that and alba say they used the weed killer to landscape their home and others properties n 2011 alva was diagnosed with a form of knowledge hodgkin's lymphoma, four years later albert at that received a similar diagnosis. >> i have it in bones. >> and i have it in the brain. we have different types of the same disease. >> monday an oakland, california, jury agreed that their cancers were linked to the weed killer, saying that round up was defectively designed and that the company failed to warn consumers of the herbicide's potential can i say risk. attorneys say monsanto

manipulated scientific literature and attempted to influence regulatory agencies, while dis crediting scientists who connected glief owe state to cancer. >> the jury saw it for what it was, $2 billion is a statement. >> it was the third multi-million dollar verdict in a row involving round up. the first was in august when dwayne johnson was awarded more than $289 million, later reduced by a judge to $78 million. i spoke with him last year. >> what did that verdict mean to you? >> the verdict really meant to me that this thing is not done in vane. >> following monday's verdict bayer expressed great simply for the couple but argued that leading health regulators agreed that round up can be used safely. they say they want monsanto to warn consumers. >> all of the money is really nice, but our health would have been better and had they been labeled we would have paid

attention to it. >> they say they're still dealing with cancer-related health issue. alba has difficulty speaking, albert at that with vision and hearing problems. more than 13,000 lawsuits are pending. the epa confirmed its position that there are no risks for people exposed to it. actress felicity huffman could face time in prison after pleading guilty for her role in the college admissions scandal. she was emotional in federal court in boston yesterday. she pleaded guilty to a single count and admitted she paid $15,000 to have a test proctor alter her daughter's s.a.t. answers. huffman said she wanted to make clear her daughter does have a learning disability and didn't take part in the scheme. huffman's husband william h. macy wasn't in court yesterday. he has not been charged in the scandal even though the criminal complaint suggests he was aware of the fraud and participated in

some of it. prosecutors recommended four months in prison for huffman, she will be sentenced in september. >> it will be interesting to see what happens because she has immediately apologized, said she was very sorry and admitted it was really a stupid this i think to do. >> accepted responsibility. >> and accepted responsibility immediately. it will be interesting. you might want to be careful about those missed calls -- not mixed, missed calls on the popular messaging tool what's app. ahead how a security flaw allowed hackers to gain

>> i don't know that song, but i like it. ♪ i won't tell you good-bye >> welcome back to "cbs this morning." here are three things you should know this morning. cbs news confirms attorney general william barr has appointed the top federal prosecutor in connecticut to look into the opening of the russia investigation. u.s. attorney john durham's inquiry will focus on whether the government's intelligence collection methods involving the trump campaign were, quote, lawful and appropriate. this is the third known inquiry

into the origins of the special counsel's probe. and internal police department trial has begun for a new york officer involved in a controversial death of an unarmed black man in 2014. officer daniel pent allayo is accused of using a banned chokehold on eric garner while trying to arrest him for a misdemeanor. the case made national headlines about excessive use of force by police. in the courtroom yesterday, the officer's lawyer said an academy taught technique, not an illegal choke hold was used. if the judge finds pantaleo violated department rules, he could be fired. he does not face criminal charges. >> whatsapp says it has fixed a flaw that allowed hackers to insert malicious code by calling targets using the app. the facebook owned company encouraged customers to up grad to the latest version of the app. the breach is tied to an israeli firm whose spy ware had been

linked to hacking attacks on journalists. protests are gathering at the new york state capital today to fight a bill to end religious exemptions for vaccines. all but three states allow religious exemptions as a reason not to vaccinate children. there are 839 confirmed measles cases across the country so far this year. the disease had been declared eliminated in the u.s. in 2000. dr. jon lapook is at the state capital in albany. jon, good morning. >> good morning, john. protesters here are expected to claim that legislators are attacking their religious freedom. but an orthodox jewish community is where the measles outbreaks are occurring. a rabbi said there's nothing in the jewish religion that prohibits vaccination. meanwhile, we're learning about a group that's been spreading misinformation. >> i think this has been a long time coming. >> dr. patricia ruppert is the

health commissioner of rockland county, new york. ground zero of the current outbreak. there have been 225 measles cases confirmed there since october, but she's certain the real number is much higher. >> the truth is there are a lot of unreported cases out there. >> ruppert said misinformation is fueling the rise in cases, especially in the orthodox jewish community. have you heard of an organization called peach? >> i have. >> for at least the four years what's come to be known as the peach pamphlet has been circling, targeting ort dox jewish communities. >> it holds a lot of unscientific and erroneous information. >> the pamp flet incorrectly claims vaccines are a contributing factor in causing autism. the overwhelming consensus of the scientific community is that vaccines do not cause autism. any idea of who is behind it? >> no, i have wondered that myself. >> we tried to find out. the pamphlet's cover says it's a project of parents educating and

advocating for children's health or peach. that organization's website posted a statement saying it had nothing to do with the pamphlets even though it hosted a copy on its website until last month when the pamphlet was taken down. the website lists one address in brooklyn, but all we found was this windowless concrete building. we found a second address in the company business records, but when our team knocked on the door, nobody there knew anything about peach. there's an organization called peach that is actually registered at being at this address. doesn't sound familiar? >> no. >> the peach pamphlet lists several hotlines to call for more information, so we did. >> welcome to the truth about vaccines. >> was a lot to listen to, but it was far from the truth. >> there is a role that vaccines are playing in creating the groundwork for these children's immune systems to start to show signs of impairment and destruction. >> these people make up data.

they change their reasoning as soon as it's disproven and they pick another. >> whack-a-mole. >> exactly. dr. aaron glad is an orthodox rabbi in woodmere, new york. >> you must get vaccinated. that's the official orthodox jewish position. >> on sunday at his temple, he lectured about the safety and effectiveness of vaccines. and held a testing event to check people's blood for evidence of immunity. how did you hear about this peach publication? >> i have known about them for a number of years. some of the religious information they provide is embarrassing. >> do you think it's going to take for people in the united states deaths before they really pay attention. >> i hope the answer to that is no. but part of me says yes. i literally pray that i'm not proven right because there's deaths and people then switch their opinion. >> cbs news obtained anonymous text messages like this one sent last month to orthodox fathers

in brooklyn while they were in temple. when we called, another misleading statement. >> this vaccine will cause swelling of the brain. they all do. every single vaccine causes encephalitis. >> dr. rupert has been scrambling to fight the false information in rockland county about vaccines. >> what we have done in this months is offer information in other ways. hangers on the doors, pamphlets in the synagogues. pamphlets at the house. >> in a way, you're fighting low tech with low tech. >> yes, we are. >> amid the community's rising fear, the doctor is doing whatever she can to control the outbreak. in a typical year, rockland county gives about 1200 measles vaccines. since october, they have administered more than 20,000. >> thank you. >> looking back, has there been enough pressure put by public health officials, by the media, on the anti-vaccine movement? >> no, i don't think we have provided the pressure we should have probably all along. >> do you think going forward

there has to be more of a concerted effort? >> i do. and i would be glad to join with others who are doing the same. >> the peach organization would not speak with us on the record. we learned yesterday that peach has changed its name, but it continues to say it promotes education and children's safety. meanwhile, here in albany, we're expecting later in the day to hear a lot more about protests and lobbying of the legislators. gayle. >> thank you very much. >> thanks to you and the cbs news investigative team for trying to track this down. i feel like the community is being specifically targeted with misinformation, whether there should be a criminal investigation or not is a question for prosecutors. but i find it really disturbing. >> they know the information they're passing is bad because they're hiding. >> exactly. as we tried to find them. yeah. >> raised a lot of interesting questions that people should be demanding answers to. nasa wants to put astronauts on the moon in five years.

we like surprises, don't we? we do like surprises. in a surprise announcement, nasa revealed a new name for its moon program, artemis. she's a greek goddess of the moon and twin sister of apollo. nasa picked the name in hopes of having the first woman land on the moon by 2024. and in order to meet that deadline, the trump administration wants congress to approve an additional $1.6 billion for nasa on top of its $21 billion budget for next year. mark strassmann spoke with the man who is responsible for making the moon shot happen. mark, good morning. >> good morning. nasa's mission pocked by fits and starts for decades, now has a new name and a new urgency. the artemis mission plans to

land astronauts on the moon in five years, four years earlier than first planned. it's expensive and nasa needs commercial and congressional support to pull it off. >> the eagle has landed. >> boy. >> 50 years ago this july, two americans left the first footprints in lunar dust. no other country has matched apollo's moonwalkers. but five have sent probes and robots, including israel and china just this year. >> it's not by accident that so many countries around the world right now are going to the moon. and not all of them are going to the moon just to collect rocks. it's a strategic imperative that the united states have a presence there as well. >> when jim bridenstine became nasa's administrator last year, a planned moon landing was a decade away. >> ladies and gentlemen, that's just not good enough. >> but in march, vice president mike pence lit a fire under nasa and its contractors. >> if nasa's not currently

capable of landing american astronauts on the moon in five years, we need to change the organization. not the mission. >> we have seen over and over again the administrations change and projects get canceled, with billions of dollars wasted of the taxpayer. we're going to shorten the time scale, we're going to make this a reality. >> that starts by accelerating development of nasa's new mega rocket called the space launch system or sls. on top would sit nasa's new crew capsule called orion. roughly 240,000 miles from earth, orion eventually would dock with a planned lunar orbiting space station called gateway, but the artemis program lacks one key component. what's the most significant piece of the budget? >> the landing capability. they take time, they take >> not yet, but private industry wants the contract. >> this is blue moon. >> last week billionaire jeff

bezos introduced blue moon, his space company's design for lunar landing and lockheed martin also has a design. >> five years to get to the moon, and how is that not fairly intense schedule pressure? >> if somebody says it is not safe, they have ultimately the authority to throw a red flag and say stop. it is more important for us that the astronauts be safe. bridenstine is a former congressman from oklahoma thinks that he has the votes on capitol hill to pass this new budget hikement and bigger requests are sure to support, but without this support, the moon is awfully long away. when he said 2024 and not 2028, that is intense game-changer and budget constraints and even with the new money, it is a real push. >> they will want the people to cover it, and are you raising your hand saying i will go, cbs. >> absolutely. i'm a fast learning. >> i was kidding. well, will shg, i will be down

on every day of our lives, gps, et cetera, but the military does crucially. there's a great game under the waves, submarine warfare between the u.s., russia and china, submariners are quieter, getting closer to u.s. shores a way to project nuclear power without warning up to the u.s. ohomelan. >> jim, what are they trying to get? we don't seem prepared for what is happening to us >> no question. in china's case they're trying outright to surpass the u.s. this is not a secret. it's in their documents, their national security documents. they want to achieve what they view is their rightful place on top of the world and almost invariably national security folks will say china is the bigger of the two threats but russia very big threat. theirs is more of a zero sum game. any opportunity to stick their finger in the eye of the united states is a win. >> i spoke with the fbi director last year and you think about what the fbi does in terms of countering terrorist threats.

he says his top priority is china. how many chinese spies are in america trying to steal and commit economic espionage? >> thousands here, and i spoke to the fbi's form he head of counter intelligence, and tens of thousands in china. he talked about it in terms of they have a national service program almost for smart, young people there to hack their way into u.s. public and private sector secrets and they do it with enormous success. >> they're stealing seed technology, medical technology. >> artificial intelligence and crucially national security technology. i have a chapter in the book how over the course of four years before they were detected a small team of four people stole secrets about the f-35, the c-17 and the f-22 and today china is flying planes that look remarkably like those planes. >> jim, give us context in terms of before 9/11, there were people who were saying connect the dots and other people asleep at the switch to mix my metaphors. in this case, do people know the threat is real, and they're just trying to catch up or are they still blind to the nature of the threat?

>> it took time. it was belated but they know today. i spent time out in the field. this is the way u.s. submarine commanders talk about the conflict today. it's the way people in the nsa operations centers fighting cyber attacks every day. it's the way they talk about it, the way u.s. diplomats in ukraine, et cetera. it is not the way the u.s. president talks about this threat. he will not publicly identify, in fact, alarmingly, he will often sound very much like russia on these points. >> what's the practical result of that, though? because when you as you know talk to officials they say forget the rhetoric. we're on the case here and the rhetoric doesn't matter. >> folks, to be clear in this book, i spread the blame around, because through multiple administrations, republican and democratic parties, miss signals over time. everybody thought they could get it right. the bush administration thought they could get it right, obama thought he'd get it right, saw the light later. trump administration not unusual in that respect. unusual though in that when you

see the hostility, the president still won't recognize it and state it publicly and everybody across the board says the u.s. cannot win this war, defend itself properly without leadership from the top and they don't have leadership from the top. >> will this trade war with china make this worse? >> this is the thing and again, credit where credit is due. the president is confronting china, for instance, on the theft of trade secrets to a degree previous administrations would not. they knew about it but said we can bring them into the fold, they'll change their behavior. they have not. the president is confronting. the trouble is the president is asking china to change its economic, its state model. this is the way it has achieved success, in its view. when you battle like that, and both have advantages, will china back down? we have internal domestic politics, so does china. the last thing a chinese leader is going to want to do is seen as backing down to the u.s. president. >> help people understand why presidential leadership is so important. without it, what doesn't happen?

>>le wi well, allocation of resources, making decisions to counter the threat, defending u.s. assets, taking where necessary offensive steps to counter this threat. that requires presidential leadership. it matters that this president has only had one cabinet level discussion of election security. that's a problem. >> only one? >> only one. it matters that this president, you heard this from kirstjen nielsen as she left. this president, senior advisers can't bring up the issue of election interference with him because he won't go there. >> you made a point of saying you're not writing this book for politics. you're writing it at the end as a concerned american. i was very touched by that. >> and i am. i spent years in russia and china, and seeing each front of this war. i've been on the ground in ukraine. i've been on a u.s. sub under the arctic, been in the nsa operations rooms, on a spy plane over the south china sea. i see americans in and out of uniform fighting this battle every day because they care about protecting your country. i've got three kids. i want them to live in a world

>> you have to have the spirit of giving. you can't have never run, never competed in sports. this is what you would call a professional athlete. >> you have to be physically strong and mentally strong. >> absolutely. you're going to see things that's going to be devastating to you, that's going to last in your memory forever. it's how you deal with that. >> everyone doesn't fly airplanes. not everybody is going to run into burning buildings. >> for women, there are other challenges. >> a man can walk in a firehouse for the first time and they will look at them and assume they can do their job until they prove otherwise. when a female walks in the firehouse, they assume we can't until we prove otherwise. >> the chiefs learned that lesson soon after joining the department in the early '90s. >> once you get out of training academy, you realize when you go in the companies, they know your name. the males know where you're getting a female assigned. at that point, i knew the

seriousness and we were minorities, true minorities. >> to some people, did you get the sense, think you shouldn't be there? >> absolutely. >> less than 4% of firefighters nationwide are women in a largely all male environment has at times fostered discrimination. more than half of the women firefighters surveyed nationwide report feeling shunned or isolated. and 43% said they experienced verbal harassment. >> i had some rough times where i was accused of sleeping around with all the firefighters in one house. >> that must have been extremely hurtful. >> it infuriated me so much that it motivated me to do more. for me, my revenge was success. >> anunay says you show women belong by doing your job well. >> i think if i'm here and not representing myself as a professional and changing the climate for women officers, then i haven't done by job. i'm here to make things better.

>> to become only the third female battalion chief in the department's 135-year history, anunay leaned on her mentor, d.c.'s first female firefightering, bee rutter. >> seeing her in position, even in 1991 when there weren't many women, it was inspiring. when i talked with her, i said i'm going to be in charge one day. she said you better know your stuff. good morning, good morning. >> anunay now oversees 50 firefighters at six firehouses and is passing on that same encouragement to the next generation. >> she's really tough. she cuts me no slack. >> jasmine jones, who graduated from the academy in january, still hears from some who say the firehouse is no place for a woman. >> they think i can't do it, so you have to prove them wrong. give them a reason to say we need more women like you to do this. >> you still hear naysayers? >> absolutely. absolutely. that will never go away. >> what's their argument? >> that we didn't earn it, that

we don't deserve it, or they're giving us this position because of the climate of women in empowerment. so i'm like, okay. well, if that's your opinion, that's your opinion. i know what i have done to get to this point. >> i hear it, i love it. i embrace it because like you said, it takes a bad female to be in a fire department. >> now, as these two women get closer to retirement, they also have personal goals. anunay is hoping to continue changing the culture and encouraging women to join the department and excel. and clemencia is looking to keep advancing up the ranks and break even more glass ceilings for women. gayle. >> love them both. throughout the piece, we're going, that's good, that's good, that's good. my revenge is success. i love that. and i love what queen said, when we show up, it's your worst day. but yet they show up, they run in when most of us are running out. very nice. thank you, jan. >> well done. >> that should be a bumper sticker, right? revenge, my revenge is success.

i like that. i'm going to remember that. >> let's make t-shirts. >> thank you very much. we'll be right back. this is not a bed.
