>> reporter: right out of the box, he said he was surprised when the special counsel told him that he was not going to be making a decision on whether or not the president committed a crime of obstruction of justice. he didn't really press him on that, but then he and his lawyers at the department of justice analyzed the evidence mueller gathered and made the decision himself. he said he couldn't exonerate the president. you looked at that evidence and you did. what's the fundamental difference between your view and his? >> well, i think bob said he was not going to engage in the analysis. he was not going to make a determination one way or the other. we analyzed the law and the facts and a group of us spent a lot of time doing that and determined that both as a matter of law, many of the instances would not amount to obstruction.

>> as a matter of law? >> a matter of law. we didn't agree with the legal analysis. a lot of the legal analysis in the report. it did not reflect the views of the department. it was the view of a particular lawyer or lawyers. so we applied what we felt was the right law. >> that decision offered up in a four-page summary opened the attorney general to criticism. the response was you were too soft on the president. that, actually, the special counsel was a little sharper on obstruction. >> just trying to skate the bottom line, that bob mueller identified some episodes. he did not reach a conclusion. he provided both sides of the issue and his conclusion was he wasn't exonerating the president ei. dpeasn't finding a crime further about >> reporter: while barr testified before congress about the special counsel's report, mueller wants the report to

speak for itself and signal he does not want to testify. do you think he should? >> it's up to bob, but i think the line he's drawing, which is he's going to stick to what he said in the report is the proper line for any department official. >> reporter: we asked barr about mueller's final caution. >> that there were multiple systemic efforts to interfere in our election. >> reporter: how is the justice department to ensure this doesn't happen again in 2020? >> yes, well, we do have, i think, an increasingly robust program that is focusing on foreign influence and our election process and i talked recently to the director of the fbi about putting together a special high level group to make sure we're totally prepared for the upcoming elections. >> do you think enough was done in 2016? >> probably not. >> reporter: the president has repeatedly accused former

intelligence officials of dropping the ball by fixating too much on his campaign. >> they were spying, they were spying on our campaign. >> reporter: you testify that you believe spying occurred. >> yes. >> reporter: into the trump campaign. >> yes. >> you've gotten some crism r thword >> i guess it's become a dirty word somehow. it has never been for me. i think there's nothing wrong with spying. the question is always whether it's authorized by law. >> reporter: former intelligence chiefs have said the president has made that word somewhat pajurative. like it's a word, that you're a loyalist. >> it's craziness. if a president uses a word, all of the sudden, it's off bounds. it's a perfectly good english word. i'll continue to use it. >> reporter: what makes you think i need to take a look at this? >> like many other people familiar with intelligence activities, i had a lot of questions about what was going

on. i assume i'd get answers when i went in and i have not gotten answers that were satisfactory and in fact, have probably more questions and that some of the facts that i've learned don't hang together with the official explanations of what happened. >> reporter: what do you mean by that? >> that's all i really will say. things are just not jiving. >> reporter: now, barr said that he believes government interference into the u.s. election is just as dangerous as foreign interference, so that's why he started this new review of the intelligence community's actions leading up to the 2016 election and he said he asked the president that gives him the authority to be declassify certain information that he believes would be in the public interest. >> now that the attorney general has that authority, did he indicate whether he'd be willing to work with the intelligence agencies before deciding what to

declassify? >> reporter: he did. not only was he willing, but he already has. he's already spoken with them and said they're being very supportive of those efforts and he said, you know, he does have the authority to make those decisions on his own and there may be the exceptional circumstances where that would be necessary, but he intends to cooperate and work with them and they are being cooperative and he said he found it amusing to read media reports and complaining and fears about him leaking classified information. he's been in this business 50 years, he said. he started it at cia and knows how to protect classified information and he said he is going to do it. >> all right, janua, thank you very much. more of that exclusive interview in our next hour. he talks about the relationship with the president and if he regrets taking the job as attorney general. president trump's threat to put tariffs on all goods from mexico could push up prices for u.s. consumers. the surprise announcement last night is meant to pressure

mexico to stop the surge of undocumented immigrants into the u.s. the border patrol confirmed yesterday it detained the largest ever group of migrants near the southern border. more than 1,000 people. weijia jiang at the white house. the president calls this a big league statement. >> reporter: good morning, anthony. he sure does. mexico could easily and quickly stop illegal immigrants from crossing the border but it does not, so to penalize mexico for the surge of migrants, 5% tariffs kick in on june 10th and removed if the illegal migration crisis is alleviated but if not, the tariffs will increase by 5% every month until october and then remain at 25%. backing white house chief of staff said the white house will judge mexico's success by whether illegal border crossings decrease but did not provide specific targets. mexican president andres manuel

lopez is dell zesending a delego the white house to come to a peaceful collusi fuful conclusi remember, he's, quote, not a coward. retaliatory mexican tariffs could mean paying more for limes, avocado, tequila among other goods. >> how are lawmakers responding to this tariff announcement? >> even republicans are condemning this move. yesterday, senator chuck grassley said it is a misuse of presidential tariff authority and republicans are also worried this will be a new road block for the president's new trade deal with canada and mexico, which is just now starting to make its way through congress for approval. tony? >> weijia, thank you very much. a judge in st. louis could decide at any time whether missouri's only abortion clinic can stay open. missouri is one of several states now facing a backlash over controversial abortion limits.

investigative correspondent anna weste werner is here. >> reporter: many states are beginning to pave a path to challenge roe v. wade under conservative leaning courts but some with so-called heartbeat bans are seeing the cost of passing those laws. abortion rights supporters rallied outside of st. louis courthouse yesterday. in a fight to keep the doors to missouri's only abortion clinic open. >> they're going to have a fight on their hands like they've never seen before. >> reporter: a judge inside heard arguments over planned parenthood's request for a temporary restraining order that would stop the state from refusing to renew its license. >> shame on missouri politicians and missouri government for weaponizing the licensing and regulatory process to end safe and legal abortion in missouri. >> reporter: missouri department of health said it's a safety issue over violations of state laws and regulations.

the department director left the door open to negotiate. >> we could talk with the doctors between now and then and reach a resolution as to those issues that we have concerns about, and it might be simple as saying, yeah, we wish that hadn't happened but this is what we'll do in the future to keep it from happening. >> reporter: missouri is one of six states to approve legislation banning abortion within the first eight weeks of president. georgia faces potential losses of more than $2 billion over it. tv shows and movies including "avengers" are filmed there and disney, warner media and cbs corporation have joined netflix in saying they may stop production there if the law goes into effect. pulling more than 92,000 movie and television jobs from the state. none of the laws passed have taken effect yet, so abortion is still available in all 50 states. if the judge denies planned parenthood's restrabiining orde

and license expires, it will have the option to appeal, something the organization said it will consider. >> think about the women though that may have appointments for tomorrow or sunday or monday. what do they do? >> a lot of uncertainty there for sure. >> scary time for a lot of people. thank you very much, anna. singer r. kelly faces 11 fwnew counts of sexual assault and abuse. these are the most serious charges after decades of abuse accusations. ctm national correspondent jeh re rika duncan is outside of the courthouse in chicago. what could these mean for r. kelly? >> reporter: good morning, gayle. it could simply mean more time behind bars. some of the new counts could mean up to 30 years in prison. now the alleged victim in this new indictment is one of the acbusiackready >> ifrush my teeth, he had to know.

if i was going to take a shower, he had to know. >> reporter: the alleged sexual abuse from 2010 when he was a minor. >> he slapped me and choked me until i blacked out. >> reporter: he said the new charges against kelly including aggravated criminal sex assault and abuse is related to her case. no matter how wrong you think i am, the law is on my side. a minor at the time. kelly's attorney tells cbs news, the charges alleged he choked and forced the victim to perform oral sex on several occasions. kelly denies any wrongdoing. in february, the 52-year-old singer turned himself to chicago police after charged with 10 counts of sexual abuse which involved four women, some of them minors. >> i'm fighting for my life. >> reporter: kelly forcefully denied all allegations against him. >> have you ever had sex with

anyone under the age of 17? >> no, no. >> reporter: the new charges are the same conduct, just charged differently. same alleged victim, same time frame, same facts. we expect the same results. attorney michael avenatti represents at least one of the alleged victims in the previous indictmen indictments. >> i expect additional charges to be issued in the next 30 days at the federal level. >> reporter: what can we expect with more to come with federal charges? >> i firmly believe the most serious charges have yet to be issued and will be issued against r. kelly. >> reporter: now, avenatti faces accusations of extortion and stealing and unrelated charges, which he denies. kelly remains free on $1 million bond, due back here in court next thursday. anthony? >> jericka, thank you.

republic. "cbs this morning saturday" co-host dana reported on this. honestly, it was stomach turning to me. what have you learned? >> it's too common and that's the problem. more than 80% of women who travel alone for work had at least one safety-related concern. in february, we spoke to a woman who was sexually assaulted by a stranger who tricked the front desk to giving her the room key. whether for work or vacation, the women we spoke to are urging others to stay vigilant. >> very difficult. very difficult. reliving. >> reporter: tammy lawrence daly on vacation with her husband at the majestic elegance resort in the dominican republic when she went downtown stairs alone one night in search of a snack. >> i could hear foot follows behind me and before i could turn around, he plowed into the back of me. >> reporter: tammy said the man was wearing a resort uniform.

she tried to fight him off but strangled her and lost consciousness. >> when i came to, it was to him beating me, about the head. kicking me and beating me. >> reporter: it was hours before people at the resort found her in an underground crawl space. she was brought to the hospital with severe facial injuries. after months of physical and emotional recovery, she said she is finally sharing her story as a warning to others. >> you just have a feeling fe a feeng of, you know, paradise, but this can happen and it has happened and it will happen again. >> by show of hands, have any o. >> have any of had an i traveli? >> yes. >> we recently sat down with jen ruiz, jean marie campbell and

nneya richards. >> i put something on the door just to feel comfortable going to sleep in a hotel. >> not just hotels and resorts. >> i personally was attacked by an uber driver on the way to the airport in argentina. >> reporter: jen ruiz said while on vacation in argentina, her driver pulled over on the side of the road, forced himself on her and kissed her. she never reported it. >> i really just had a sense of shame associated with it where i blamed myself. >> reporter: tammy said she blameder>> ifby lf, it wouldn'ten. wouldn't have put my family through that. >> reporter: the attacker had not been found. she said the police investigation led nowhere and the hotel has not taken any responsibility for what happened. >> i really hate the way they handled everything. >> should these companies be more account snabe accountable? >> we vote with our dollars. will we stay at that hotel or use one car service or another?

>> i think you're right about us voting with our dollar and holding these companies very much accountable. >> if these keep happening, traveling as women, how do we fix this? >> sharing our stories, speaking out. so a lot of other women can feel a lot safer. >> majestic elegance resort has 4.5 stars on trip adviser and sold out for this weekend. we reached out to the resort but have not heard back and the dominican national police told us in a statement they detained ten people part of the investigation into tammy lawrence daly's attack but they were unable to make a positive identification and uber told je upsetting and have no place on the uber app or anywhere. the problem is, again, reporting it. jen didn't report hers and it's that shame that a lot of these women say they feel because they should have done something differently, even though it's not their fault. >> thank you, tammy lawrence daly for speaking up, number one, and so glad she's going to be all right because you look at those pictures and it is very doubtful but what can women do

though to protect themselves? because i do think you have a false sense of security when you're on vacation. especially if you're staying at a really, quote, nice place. >> you do and we talked about these things when we did that initial story. you have to remember, when you go to that front desk, don't say your name out loud, give them your id. other things you can do, if they say your room number out loud, ask for a different room number. in case someone will hear it. you can give the illusion that someone else is with you. a light on. the women i was talking with, sort of a difference of opinion. some ask so they know where it is and then even the state department, before they go to countries they don't know, a lot of women did international travel. they said, also know the culture. don't forget the different things in different cultures mean something. if you walk down the street as a single woman smile, that can mean something, really, if you look at somebody directly in the eye. >> dana, thank you. we appreciate it. it's frustrating that women have

2019 hurricane season officially starts tomorrow. government forecasters predict 9 to 15 named storms. 2 to 4 could become major hurricanes, category three or higher. the ability to predict those storms may be threatened by the next generation of cell phones. meg oliver on the atlantic coast in sea bright, new jersey, an area that is familiar with the devastating hurricane. >> reporter: anthony, good morning. you are right. people here remember the impact of hurricane sandy and how much they relied on early warnings

from forecasters. scientists worry future 5g technology interfere with satellite data they rely on. on the other hand, federal regulators are racing to deploy 5g technology. hurricane season is here and with it, the potential for the next round of deadly and devastating storms. but this year, meteorologists say they're also keeping an eye on a new threat. >> 5g will change everything. >> reporter: the powerful cell phone network known as 5g which will deliver information up to 100 times faster than today's mobile networks. >> we push as far as we can push it. >> this is a huge concern because we fear that advances in weather forecasting are at risk. >> reporter: meteorologists are concerned because some of the frequencies the federal trade commission plans to use are located next to the only

frequency where weather satellites can detect water vapor, a critical component for accurate forecasting. they're worried it wilaccute. s >>ep howtical is ntial, i90% of models come from weather satellites. if you remove a good portion of the satellite data, you're crippling our ability to make accurate weather forecasts. >> reporter: that could mean less time to prepare for major storms. >> if 5g were in place during hurricane sandy and had the interference many of us expected, we may not have seen nine days out and maybe only three days out it was going to make a hard left from new york into new jersey. >> reporter: the fcc declined an on-camera interview but the group representing the wireless industry called the meteorologist concerns an absurd claim with no science, saying

the weather sensor currently deployed is much less susceptible to interference than meteorologists claim. a lot of people in the wireless industries say these fears are overblown or exaggerated. what's your response to that? >> i don't want to find out if they're overblown. and advanced tellomort of 5g t makee we' not setting weather forecasts back several decades. >> reporter: there's time for a compromise before the networks roll out 5g later this year. >> we don't want to move backward. we want to move forward with our weather prediction capability because lives, property and even national security depend on it. >> reporter: noaa says that accurate weather forecasts $13 billion to the u.s. economy but cell phone providers say 5g technology would add $274 billion. so there's the money aspect of this as well. in the meantime, meteorologists fear that if they lose some of

this critical data, it could send them back to the 1980s in ter terms of forecasting. >> we open this segment with "it's raining men," see any men falling from the sky? do i need to rush down there? >> reporter: no. >> thank you, meg. looks like a beautiful day at the beach. thank you so much. well, you never know guys. it's hard out here. up next, the stories coming up, the nba dramatic off the court, thanks to my drizzy as it was on the cour good friday morning to you. starting off the day with low clouds. areas of fog and even patchy drizzle along the coast. your microclimate forecast. we are going to warm up in many locations. although cool on the coast, in the upper 50s. and the upper 60s for the bay. and low to mid-80s inland. and we are going to have that sun as we head through the afternoon. a mix of sun and clouds. very similar conditions for the

interference interference and the u.s. election is just as dangerous as foreign interference. >> president trump says mexico could stop illegal an could penalize mexico. 5% tariffs will kick in on june 10th. >> five other states are one closure away from having zero clinics. they're beginning to pave a path to challenge roe v. wade under a conservative supreme court. >> it is a day "star wars" fans have been waiting for four years. today's galaxy edge opens to the public at disney land in california. >> there is a millennium falcon ride, a custom droid shop. you can drink in cantina. it is all totally free. i'm just kidkidding. you may have to sell your kids to get in. >> we don't want to sell our children. >> some day. >> no, no.

we love our children. i'm gayle king with anthony mason and t rney general william barr highlights why he opened anigio. barr says there is evidence that makes him believe that senior government officials may have acted improperly to authorize surveillance of president trump's 2016 campaign and said that led to the spying on the campaign. >> critics say barr is being too l loyal to the president. how is barr responding to complaints about his work? >> well, the attorney general, he wouldn't really talk specifics about what he has seen that led him to open that investigation. but he said he is not swayed by criticism and he won't back off doing what he thinks is right. >> the second attorney general in history has served twice. i think the first one was back in 1850.

>> right. >> you're an established figure in a way. you had a long career in washington. you're working for a man who is not establishment. and some of his tweets about officials and the rule of law, how do you react when you see this. are you on twitter? >> i'm not on twitter. and every once in a while a tweet is brought to my attention. but my experience with the president is we have a good professional working relationship, we talk to each other, if he has something to say to me, i figure he'll tell me directly. i don't look to tweets -- i don't look at them as directives or official communications with the department. >> when you came into this job, i mean, you had a good reputation on the right and the left. you're now someone who is accused of protecting the president and enabling the president, lying to congress. did you expect that coming in. >> in a way i did expect it. i realize we live in a crazy

hyperpartisan period of time. i knew that it would only be a matter of time if i was behaving responsibly and calling him as i see him that i would be attacked. people only care about who it helps, who it benefits, whether my side benefits or the other side benefits. everything is gauged by politics. and as i say, that's antithetical to the way the department runs and any attorney general in this period is going to end up losing a lot of political capital. and i realize that. and that's one of the reasons that i ultimately was persuaded may be i should take it on. because i think it -- my stage in life, it really doesn't make any difference. >> end of your career or -- >> i'm at the end of my career. >> it is a reputation you worked your whole life on, though. >> yeah, but everyone dies. and i'm not, you know, i don't believe in the idea that immortality comes by, you know,

having owed -- over the centuries. >> you don't regret taking the job? >> no. in many ways i would rather be back to my old life. but i think i love the department of justice. i love the fbi. i think it is important that we not in this period of intense partisan feeling destroy our institutions. i think one of the ironies today is that people are saying that it is president trump that is shredding our institutions. i really see no evidence of that. from my perspective, the idea of resisting a democratically elected president and basical basically -- really changing the norms on the grounds that we have to stop this president, that's where the shredding of our norms and our institutions is occurring. >> now, throughout our conversation, there is one theme that really emerged. barr sees his actions since he took office including clearing

the president of obstruction when the special counsel declined to do so as really standing up for the rule of law. anthony. >> jan what did the attorney general tell you about why he decided to summarize the special counsel's report rather than release it when he first received it? >> that was some news there. i was surprised by something he talked about on that as well. that was not the plan. he had asked the special counsel's office over a period of weeks and was led to believe that the special counsel's office was working to identify that sensitive grand jury material that could not be released by law to the public or congress. he expected the report when he got from the special counsel to have that material identified so he could turn it around and release it. pretty much in its entirety. when they got the report at the department of justice, none of that material is identified to his surprise. but he said the public wouldn't wait weeks while they figured out what that was. he had to get something out

quickly, people were camping out at the justice department, media, intelligence officials were wildly speculating. he released that summary, he said it was never intended to go in the nooks and crannies of the report. while they work to identify that grand jury information and that was not the plan. if he had gotten what he thought he was getting from the outsaid, the four page summary wouldn't have been necessary. >> jan, thank you. hear more of jan's interview with attorney general barr on today's "cbs this morning" podcast. and monday, jan goes with barr to a remote alaskan native village to learn about the unique challenges in those sparsely populated communities. the winner's trophy in the scripps national spelling bee will have to be split eight ways. they should all get a trophy. can't be too hard. how one competitor was left wondering not only how it would end, but when. plus, a new food movement changing the recipe for restaurants and giving african-american chefs more

fingers aren't as good which means surgeons may not be as good. >> brilliant way you set it up. >> i'm still thinking about the grape in the toilet roll. >> i was thinking what kind of morning did you have? >> i may have to practice that. >> what is going on over at your place? i don't know. >> gayle what do you got? >> hard for brothers to stay mad at one another. you know this if you have a brother. this came from an instagram user. it is so sweet. dogs had a little fight after one ate the other's food. take a look at what happened. >> go see your brother. apologize to your brother. say you're sorry. are you sorry? >> what i like, look at this. >> is that the apology?

their high school life. >> everyone has to figure out what the relationship looks like. >> the kid comes home, thinks he's independent. i'm referring to a specific kid. >> they expect someone to do their laundry still. >> smip sometimes they feel li on vacation and they're tired and they come home tired and i had college students say to me, i'm on vacation, but nobody else is on vacation. that is a strange thing to have to adapt to. >> what i think is interesting is they're used to coming and going as they please. they come to your house as a parent, you're very concerned. when you are you coming back, who are you going to be with, are we allowed to ask those questions. they take it as an insult. >> i think when you're coming home is an absolutely fair question. i think we have to be prepared that for the kid who has been really independent, it can feel like a loaded question. so it may be worth taking, but -- >> it is a fair question.

>> it is a fair question. say, look, i'm not trying to control you, this is about the courtesies of us living with one another, should we expect you for dinner, should we set a place for you, do you think you're coming home, give us a sense. to maybe make that extra gesture to say we're in a new chapter, but we still have questions to ask. >> one thing that kids can bring home from college are bad habits, habits they didn't have when they left. i'm thinking of vaping these days. if you set a rule as a parent, you might have done whatever you did at college, but no vaping under my roof, is this a good policy? >> it can be a good policy. quitting nicotine is not easy. i think parents shouldn't expect this is just as simple as saying you got to stop this on a dime. they may need to help the college student take steps to -- >> or put up with some irritability. >> i talked to parents where they have younger siblings at home and they say, we get it, you drink in college, but you're not cracking a beer in front of your 10th grade brother.

>> you're so excited to have them home. we're going to have dinner together, go here, go there, they're, like, no. >> they have their own plans. >> they have their own there plans, they have their own lives. >> they do. >> what is the dialogue between the two? what is the child thinking and the parent thinking? >> the parent is, like, i can't wait to see you, we're going to go visit all our old haunts. when i talk to the college students what was top of mind for them coming home, they said i'm excited to see my old friends, i miss my college friends. they are often interested in the romantic landscape they left behind. i had one young man say to me, i don't know where things stand with my high school girlfriend and i said, is the outcome of this going to shape your summer? he was, like, oh, yes. the other thing they expressed to me was this intense nostalgia for physical spaces. their favorite subsh shops, the hike. the most touching thing i heard, one young man said to me, i've been in touch with my parents. i feel connected to them.

i can't go to this bluff i like to climb until i'm at home and able to do that. >> loosen up is your bottom line? >> i think assume best intentions. >> all right, lisa damour, thank you. ahead, the black women
