kmov, hard hit jefferson city, justin, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, we are on the south end of jefferson city, missouri, check out the damage that we're seeing this morning, on the south end of town. that is a gas station there. the awning has been literally ripped to shreds, and the sonic restaurant has also a lot of damage here. first responders have been going door to door all night making sure everyone is accounted for, here in jefferson city. >> a violent tornado tore through jefferson city, missouri, overnight, leaving behind battered homes and businesses. there are several reports of people trapped in buildings, that are severely damaged, or destroyed. >> all our resources are coming in, we have highway patrol, we have members of agencies that would normally not be associated with a storm, but they're all coming in to play. >> windows of the businesses were blown to pieces, and cars were overturned and tossed into buildings. this gas station was leveled and dangerous live power lines littered the streets.

thank you, justin. we just spoke on the phone with mayor of jefferson city, her name is carry tergin, she has been up all night inspecting the damage from that tornado. we're hearing reports of catastrophic damage there. is that how you would describe it? >> that's a good way to describe. it catastrophic. very widespread damage. we have large trees down. in several areas of the city. in several neighborhoods. we have buildings that have lost roofs. walls, windows, glass, everywhere, and power lines down, so we have some significant damage. >> we're hearing that there are no reports of deaths at this time. but there are injuries. can you tell us about the number of injuries and the kind of injuries that people have there? >> well, thankfully, like you said, the reports that we are getting so far, indicate that there are no deaths, and we are, we have been praying for that, we're still very thankful for that, the injuries so far, from what i understand, there has not

been any significant injuries, and when you see the amount of damage, it is hard to believe, but i believe that everybody heeded the warnings. the warning sirens were effective. and people were taking care of their neighbors and making sure that they were seeking cover, and it happened around, you know, 11:30 p.m., so most people were already in bed or just getting to bed, so it was a time when everybody was aware of what was going on. >> has the storm affected your family personally? >> personally, yes, my little brother lost his business. that was kind of devastating for the family. we are entrepreneurs and business people, and so to lose that was, is very hard on him, but like him and many others that have lost their business, and their buildings, you know, buildings can be replaced, the people can't. he is okay. everybody so far is okay. >> we keep hearing that you guys aren't out of the woods yet. that the severe weather threat is still in place. so what is your message to your

constituents right now? >> for constituents, they need to take care of themselves, we don't want them out here, just to look and see the damage, you know, we need to take care of our neighbors and focus on each other. right now, we already know that we're under a flood advisory. we declared a state of emergency here yesterday. because of significant flooding at the missouri river. we have evacuated people from a portion of the city because of that. so we're already bracing for flooding. that's what we've been focusing on. this was completely unexpected. now our focus is going to be on just picking up the pieces, and getting this back together and getting jefferson city back together. >> mayor carry tergin, i know you have a lot of work to do. we thank you for taking the time to speak to us. good luck. >> thank you. we will be praying. thank you. >> so much devastation there. devastating flooding has swept away homes in parts of oklahoma. flood alerts are up across half the state this morning.

maria villareal is in oklahoma where a whole town was forced to evacuate. >> people living in weber falls were told to get out immediately last night, when two barges broke free and started floating down the arkansas river and no one on board, they were headed for the dam that you see right below me. the fear is that these loose barges could breach the dam holding the flooded river back from a town of about 600 people. officials lost site of them briefly overnight but found them stuck on a rock several miles from the dam. they're working right now to secure them, and warn if they get loose again, a breach would cause catastrophic flash flooding. and the arkansas river is already approaching an historic high. take a look at this. speaking of historic, this world war ii submarine was sitting on dry land just four days ago. 200 miles west, rising flood waters left some homes clinging to the edge of the cimarron river in oklahoma, while other homes washed away completely.

in missouri, torrential rain could top levees along the missouri river, threatening to submerge home, highways and farmland. in the rest of the region, 145 flood gauges have reported flooding. and this means that it is critical for the people living down the river from here. right now, people are just hoping that the rain will subside for a few days. giving everyone at least some time to finally recover from this crazy weather over the last few days. >> sure hope mother nature is listening. they need a break there. thank you, mireya. cbs news has confirmed that a fifth migrant child is known to have died after crossing into the u.s. the health and human services department said yesterday that the girl died months ago. omar villafranca has more from mcallen texas. omar, good morning to you. >> reporter: many migrant children are brought to this processing center. just to be little clear, the little girl who died in september did not die here. but the head of the congressional hispanic caucus is

accusing the trump administration of trying to cover up her death. the department of health and human services tells cbs news that in march 2018, a 10-year-old girl entered the care of the office of refugee resettlement in san antonio. they say she had a history of congenital heart defects and following a surgical procedure became comatose. then, in september, at a hospital near family in nebraska, she died due to fever and respiratory distress. the revelation comes just days after carlos hernandez died while in border patrol custody. the 16-year-old from guatemala was diagnosed with the flu at the main border patrol processing facility in mcallen. intake of migrants at that facility was temporarily suspended tuesday, after 32 people were diagnosed with the flu. >> we continue to face tragedies at the border. particularly with regard to the safety of children. >> reporter: on capitol hill wednesday, acting secretary of homeland security kevin mcaleenan was confronted by

illinois democrat lauren underwood about the situation at the border. >> at this point with five kids that have died, 5,000 separated from their families, i feel like, and the evidence is really clear that this is intentional. it is intentional. it is a policy choice being made on purpose by this administration. and it is cruel and inhumane. >> that's an appalling accusation. and our men and women fight hard to protect people in our custody every single day. >> this will not be the last death. there are going to be more. >> katherine hampton works for the advocacy group physicians for human rights and says these deaths are an inevitable consequence of a system that detains thousands of immigrant children. >> the entire medical community is terrified this will happen and i'm terrified we will be so desensitized, that these deaths won't mean anything any more. >> to combat the flu, the building was sanitized and did

medical assessments and care as needed. after that, they were able to resume normal operations yesterday afternoon. >> omar, more great reporting from you and your team down there. i guess the big question, why are we only hearing now about that chi's dth if it happened all the way back in september. >> reporter: it is interesting because government agencies like hhs or orr do not have to report a migrant child death's publicly. they have to report it internally and to child welfare groups but that may be one of the reasons why it took so long for us to find out about it. >> i certainly hope it is the last one. omar, thank you very much. president trump now says congressional democrats had better stop investigating his presidency. he abruptly cut off a white house meeting with house speaker nancy pelosi and senate democratic leader chuck schumer yesterday. the president said he was upset that pelosi accused him of a coverup. nancy cordes is on capitol hill. good morning. >> reporter: good morning, you know, by the president's own admission, it was that term,

coverup, that set him off, and led to his ultimatum. either democrats drop their investigations of him, or he won't work with them. even on issues he cares about. >> get these phony investigations over with. >> reporter: the president viewed his walkout as a power play. speaker pelosi called it a temper tantrum. >> i pray for the president of the united states. and i pray for the united states of america. >> to watch what happens in the white house would make your jaw drop. >> reporter: their standoff put a stake in what was one of their few areas of common ground. >> i told senator schumer, speaker pelosi, i want to do infrastructure. you can't do it under these circumstances. >> reporter: white house sources tell cbs news that president trump, an avid cable news watcher, exploded after he saw pelosi say this, just before their meeting. >> we believe that the president of the united states is engaged in a coverup. >> reporter: president trump walked into the meeting with a

dozen democratic leaders and walked out again three minutes later. >> i don't do coverups. >> reporter: slamming their investigations at a hastily-called rose garden press conference. >> when i went to wisconsin and michigan, and pennsylvania, i don't say oh, let's call russia, maybe they can, it's a hoax. >> reporter: both pelosi and mr. trump see benefits to their tough talk. pelosi gets points with increasingly restless liberal members. >> i think he should be impeached. >> he can't be chairman if he is in prison. don't tell me there is not enough to debate here. >> reporter: and president trump says punching back is a good re-election strategy. >> the "i" word. you can imagine? >> reporter: president trump is shooting back at pelosi's claim that he had a temper tantrum, on twitter he said he was quote personally very polite and calm and democrats say the real reason he walked out is because he knows the issue they were discussing, infrastructure is, a tough one for him, and that he can't sell that $2 trillion

package they say to his own party. >> two very different impressions of that meeting, nancy, thank you very much. celebrity chef mario batali faces a criminal charge for an alleged groping incident two years ago. batali is scheduled to be arraigned in boston tomorrow on a single count of indecent assault and battery. "ctm" investigative correspondent anna werner is here with more. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. this appears to be the first criminal charge to come from a series of sexual misconduct allegations against mario batali. according to a civil complaint filed last summer, the 58-year-old chef allegedly assaulted a woman in a boston restaurant in 2017 and the woman accused batali of forcibly kissing and groping her while taking a selfie. a lawyer for batali says he denies the investigations, and key face up to two and a half years in jail if convicted and would have to register as a sex offender. in march, batali sold his stake in all of his restaurants, the

first misconduct accusation surfaced in 2017. at the time, batali apologized and said he was taking full responsibility for his behavior. following a "60 minutes" report, the nypd confirmed it was investigating allegations that batali drugged and sexually assaulted a woman. batali denied assaulting her and new york police closed their investigations in january without filing any charges. the largest number of people ever is expected to hit the road for memorial day weekend. it is here. aaa estimates nearly 43 million americans will travel, 88% of them by car. "ctm" national correspondent teresa duncan is in jersey city, new jersey, and here is a question, what should drivers watch out for this holiday weekend? >> reporter: well, right now, i would say it would be the rain. and of course, that typical holiday weekend congestion is nothing new but the 37 million drivers that are expected to hit the road this weekend can see, an increase at the pump.

on average, mation nationwide the gas prices have jumped nearly to $3 a gallon, prices across the country have increased by an average of 47 cents. in the last three months, those of you taking road trips will see relief in car rentals and hotel costs. car rentals have declined by 7% compared to last year and mid range hotel prices have dipped about 2 to 3%. aaa highly recommends getting those maintenance checks, before hitting the road. while it sounds like common sense, there's a good reason for the reminder. more than 350,000 people are expected to experience some type of car trouble. that includes flat tires, dead batteries, and being locked out of your vehicle, which really means you just need to slow down. but all in all, the big congestion will start this evening in a lot of the big cities. you can expect delays of up to three hours longer than your normal commute.

glad i take the subway. >> thank you. nice to get away. >> nothing worse than an engine light coming on in the middle of the trip. >> and do what we do, work this weekend. >> no problem there. and an urgent warning for travellers in the u.s. a cbs investigation, why these good thursday morning to you. looking at mostly cloudy skies. with patchy fog, along the coast and parts of the bay. but as we head through the afternoon, enjoy the sunshine. low 60s on the coast. upper 60s to about 70 for the bay. and upper 70s to low 80s inland. above-average temps today. cooling things down as we head for friday and saturday. light showers are possible on sunday. partly sunny for memorial day.

. you're looking at miami international airport visited by 45 million travelers last year. now some employees of faa have an urgent warning. they claim airlines are not as safe as they could be and they worry that lives could be at stake. in an exclusive cbs news investigation, we spoke with roughly a dozen faa inspectors all across the country, some risking their jobs to blow the whistle on how they say they're told to overlook important problems. >> what's at stake here? >> people's lives. >> it's got on the that point. >> yes. >> two inspectors each with a decade of experience with the federal aviation administration

say they have an urgent message for u.s. travels. >> what does the public need to know before they get on an airline today. >> that it's not as safe as it could be. >> both have asked to remain anonymous because they could lose their jobs for speaking out. >> i have reports from the database. one day they were there, the next morning they gone. >> they say members at the faa press them to not say something and then retaliators are asked to back off. >> how do you get the message? >> i've been told to back off. >> flat out. >> flat out told to back off. i've had the airlines contact my imagine and ask them not to sign it. >> have you had the experience of finding a problem, reporting it, and being punished for it? >> yes, repeatedly, over and ove. >> how widespread is this among inspectors? >> it's very widespread.

>> this 2016 inspectors general report expresses their concerned. they were pressured to back off an airline and then punished by management. >> are you tony banks? >> yeah. >> i'm tony dokoupil with the cbs news. is it true you were punished for reporting problems with the airport. >> yes. >> they have about a thousand government contracts worth more than $200 million in the past five years. earlier this month one of the charters made a crash landing in jacksonville, florida. no one died and the cause isn't yet known, but that isn't the first time miami air internation hall has had trouble ferrying troops. in 2017 they had multiple problems with vendor fuel lines, problems banks flagged inner letter reports.

>> do you still work as an faa inspector? >> yes, i am. >> with that airline? >> they remove med. >> you were removed. >> yes. >> who's the customer at the faa, the fly about public or the airline? >> ideally it's the flying public. that's our mission. >> in real? >> in reality, the airlines be referred to as customers, stakeholders. i've also heard inspectors say at my airline or their airline. it's not at my airline. >> so they work for the airline. >> yeah. >> in 2015 they adopted a compliance program focused on mutual cooperation with airlines p. instead of a traditional focused regulatory model. >> is the faa too cozy with the airlines? >> i think they're leaning more toward the airlines, the upper management is, yes. >> are there airlines out there today you believe should be fined? >> yes. >> are there airlines out there today you believe should be

grounded? >> there's a few airlines we need to take a hard look at. >> the faa declined an interview but told us they have a come prehebsive safety oversight system but encourages them to share problems and ensures they get fixed. the u.s. arab yag something's has a safety record that is unprecedent in history with only one death in the past ten years. >> we're talking about a crash. >> we're talking about a crash inside the u.s. states waters. >> they spoke of crashes related to u.s. manufactured boeing. as indicators of what could happen -- >> we've already seen quite a significant uptick in just the last few months. >> you think we're seeing the beginning signs of this culture problem showing up in flight safety? >> yes. >> you're hoping the wakeup call is this conversation. >> i hope so, yes. >> and not a crash. >> not a crash.

which i hope to prevent. i'm here to make sure there's no blood on my hands. >> like the faa, miami international declined an interview and in a statement it referred to the ntsb said and it had procedures in place to comply with all the requirements. since the faa put its model in place, enforcement actions like fines and penalties have fallen between 2014 and 2017. the faa is completely right to say air traffic has never been better, but the inspectors say what made it safe has changed and they're worried. >> it's so disconcerting. as you get on the plane as a passenger, you have no way of knowing if people are doing the jobs they're is up is poed to do. i don't know what to do now. >> there's a huge element of trust. when you see the words mutual cooperation between the faa and airlines, you wonder what that means? >> at these gentlemen say, a

moving along are now stopped. how he left the meeting, the great dealmaker is making no deals. the people's business is being neglected. >> he's accused of stone walling on a lot of different things. what do you think the administration hopes to accomplish by that? >> well, the administration's point of view is every congressional subpoena is invalid. and that's going to be its position. and its posture. what house democrats look at that as saying, if you tell us everything we're doing is illegitimate, we have to go to court or impanel an impeachment committee, courts have said have more oversight and can obtain things but a standard committee can't. >> speaker pelosi said the bar for impeachment is overwhelming evidence and bipartisan support. doesn't sound like we're there yet. is the president worried?

he doesn't mean infrastructure, he means impeachment. >> he does. the sense about impeachment at the white house is go for it. you're not going to get it in the senate. i will begin to run against you and say you're obsessed with that, one thing to remember, impanelling an impeachment committee doesn't mean you're going to impeach a president, but it does give you more power to obtain evidence. >> a federal judge rejected the president's request to block congressional subpoenas for his banking records. new york state also moving to open the state records. >> keep an eye on this. this is moving. the president's wall there is being knocked down by the federal courts. if it is breached, records that have long been suppressed will be in public view. not necessarily scandal, but the president hasn't wouldn'ted them out, we'll find out why. >> classic standoff between the two sides it seems. who do you think blinks first? >> not about blinking. these are institutional powers. the courts, the legislative branch and executive branch, they all have their own equities and they're sorting themselves out in a process.

may not move as rapidly as some in the political sphere may want. these are moments testing all of our institutions. the president likes that. >> if you enjoyed this conversation as i have, you can watch more of major garrett tonight on the cbs evening news. >> have you enjoyed it? >> i have, yeah. i learn something every time. >> major encore. >> an eighth grader from texas made it through five tiebreaker rounds to win this year's national geography bee. ahead, why he worked for years to

♪ every thursday at this time in the time is 8:14:25, we're going to highlight important stories affecting consumers across the country. this morning we're taking a look at how america's largest chain of yoga studios is now being accused of underpaying its teachers. more than 1500 yoga instructors have joined a class action

lawsuit against core power yoga. the suit claims that core power teachers are outstretched, and not being paid the minimum wages that they're entitled to. "cbs this morning" saturday co-host, dana jacobson, spoke with two people who thought the company slighted them. >> in the u.s., more than 36 million people practice yoga. that's why the teachers that i spoke with were excited to join a company bringing yoga to the masses. but they say they quickly began to feel exploited as they saw the pitfalls of the commercialization of yoga. >> core power probably started out with a mission and a goal that they wanted to bring yoga to everybody. but then it turned into a way to monetize. >> it is a business that is hiding behind the guise of yoga. >> reporter: yoga instructors malissa britainen and effi morgenstern say during their years of teaching at core power, the company didn't pay them what they were legally entitled to. >> once you get the job, you're expected to be compensated for the work you do off the clock.

$15 an hour does not compensate you for the work you do off the clock. >> reporter: what is that work and how much time are we talking about? >> a good chunk of time. we're constantly having to change our play lists, constantly having to sequence, testing it out, expectation is go off, do all this work and come back and bring it back to the studio. >> reporter: they say for every one hour class taught, they had to put in up to an additional six hours, unpaid. they claim the company is in violation of the fair labor standards act, by failing to pay its instructors for certain hours worked, causing their average weekly compensation to drop below the minimum wages they are entitled. >> they hide behind the fact that we have all this gratitude and love and appreciation for yoga and your peers and we met this way in a lot of ways they weaponize relationships. there is a part of me that feels really foolish for buying into that and thinking that these people did care about me. >> reporter: the suit, the fourth class action with similar complaints against core power,

also addresses how the company pressures instructors to recruit students to sign up for $3,000 teacher training. >> part of your forperformance how many students you recruit into the teacher training. they keep your wages low unless you do things like sell their teacher training, unless you recruit more people into the fold. >> somebody would say that's an incentive base, you have pay and that's incentive. >> when you have a place that is just charging the maximum, profiting off their students, dragging people into teacher trainings and then pouring out teachers, it dilutes the whole spirit of yoga. >> reporter: sheetal shah agrees. she launched the take back yoga campaign to highlight the indian roots of the ancient philosophy. >> it goes against the basic tenant te tenets of yoga. you're telling teachers to prey upon students who may or may not be good as teachers and bring

them in for the sole purpose of making money. >> reporter: brennan now works out of independent yoga studios. and morgenstern says she still works at core power because some money is better than none. >> i don't have a need to leave aside from the underpayment. >> reporter: you would rather make it right. >> i would rather make it right and rather make it known that we are underpaid. >> reporter: in a statement to cbs news, core power yoga says this lawsuit is without merit and maintains there was no wrongdoing. the company adds core power is proud of its practices, believes they are fair and will continue to stand by and defend them. now, the case is expected to be settled out of court and the other three lawsuits we mentioned, those were settled. >> more than 1500 instructors involved. >> exactly. >> dana, thank you. an eighth grader answered this question to win the national geography bee. >> more than one third of norway's northern most county is located on what plateau?

the mobile river in alabama. this ship transported 110 slaves in 1860. the captain actually burned the ship to conceal evidence because the ship was illegal. it was transported slaves to the u.s. beginning in 1808. and a lot of people actually denied the ship even existed. they found -- they found a number of shipwrecks, but what stuck out with this one was the lup ber had square nails in it, which was a clear sign that the construction was 19th century and they started matching lengths. that's how they discovered it. >> who are you sitting at the table. >> good morning, everybody. >> hi, nick. >> alyson felix, sprinder, nine-time olympic medalist. she's been engaged in a fight with nike to pay her during her
