today it was in lockdown when a man holding a large knife marched down one of the streets before attacking a woman who was sitting in a bar slashing her in the back before running up this street and jumping on the fronts of cars at these traffic lights. it was then when members of the public saw him and decided to give chase. they ran after him down another street and when they eventually got him they held him there until police arrived by using chairs from a coffee shop and a milk crate on his head until police got there. it was only after that man was arrested, a 21-year-old from western sydney that police sadly discovered a second crime scene, a 21-year-old woman stabbed to death in a nearby apartment block. the motive for the attack unknown but police say they did find information about mass killing events including the christ church massacre though they say at this stage though the man does have a known history of mental illness he has

no known links to terrorism. gayle? >> thank you very much. our partner network 10 in australia. get ready if you are more than 37 million people from the mid-atlantic region to the northeast that are under a threat of flash flooding and severe weather today. the same system brought flash flooding to the midwest yesterday. parts of illinois, high water trapped many people inside their one man had to be rescued after flood waters forced him on to the roof of his car. the chief weather caster, lonnie quinn, of our new york station wcbs tv is here. he just walked into the studio with the news. where is the weather right now? >> listen, just means i've got the latest information, right? here's what we've got. take a look at the radar picture. it's in the ohio valley stretching into portions of west virginia. get this line back here around st. louis. this line by the way as it traveled through the area just south of champaign, illinois did spark a tornado. so it's got twist within it. where is it going to spark later in the day? it could be a little bit to the eastern plains of colorado but it is really more so this area

we're watching. it's from nashville to raleigh to washington, d.c. but not everybody is going to get it. that's where the chance for severe weather is. they may be peppered out there. highest probability is actually not now from washington, d.c. to richmond, virginia over to the north carolina border. what sparks this sort of activity? a clash of air masses, hot on one side cold on the other. not so much today. today is more about it's muggy on one side of the air mass and not muggy on the other. you can tell how muggy it is by the heat index. let's focus on just three cities here. okay? charlotte and memphis on one side, new york city on the other. charlotte 94. feeling like 101. memphis, 97. feels like 113. the mugginess factor makes it feel 16 degrees hotter. new york city, 77 feeling like 77, so look. new york city has a chance for weather today but the new information is everything has shifted south. we will keep an eye on this. isolated tornadoes are all part of the problem today. back to you, tony. >> all right.

force. pictures show fbi agents raiding jeffrey epstein's private island in the caribbean two days after the convicted pedophile died by apparent suicide. >> we will get to the bottom of what happened and there will be accountability. >> reporter: on monday attorney general william barr criticized the new york detention center where the disgraced financeer was held. >> i was appalled and frankly angry to learn of the mcc's failure to adequately secure this prisoner. >> reporter: cbs news has learned morning of epstein's death there was shouting and shrieking from his cell. guards attempted to revive him while saying, breathe, epstein, breathe. with epstein gone, potential coconspirators involved in his alleged sex trafficking network are shifting into focus. british socialite ghislain maxwell is accused of recruiting underage girls for sex. she has denied those claims in the past and has not been charged with a crime. maxwell is said to be epstein's

the new york city medical examiner's office has performed an autopsy but those results are still pending. >> a lot of people waiting for those. we're also learning more about epstein's 13-month stint in a florida county jail after he pled guilty in 2008 to charges of soliciting a minor for prostitution. what can you tell us in that case? >> reporter: that's right. in an interview with our west palm beach cbs affiliate, a former corrections worker with the sheriff's office there said epstein was, quote, treated like a celebrity during his time there. she claims that his cell was often left unlocked, regularly, he was allowed to sort of roam around the dormitory area, often naked without any sort of repercussions. >> very strange details. stranger and darker by the day. >> the more you hear the worse and more upsetting and disturbing it gets. >> all right. one of the most powerful and celebrated men in opera faces allegations of sexualis spanev dec. accs told the

associated press placido domingo tried to pressure them into sexual relationships by dangling jobs and sometimes punishing them professionally when they refused his advances. domingo says the claims are inaccurate. nikki battiste is here. what else are we learning about the accusations? >> good morning, everyone. we're learning a lot of details. placido domingo is regarded as one of the greatest opera singers and conductors of all time but the 78-year-old is now facing a number of accusations of sexual harassment and abuse. eight singers and a dancer told the associated press they were sexually harassed by domingo over three decades beginning in the late 1980s. the accusers allege the encounters happened at venues that included opera companies where domingo held top managerial positions. one accuser said domingo stuck his hand down her skirt. three others said he forcibly kissed them. domingo is a multi grammy award winner and director of the los angeles opera. only one of the nine accusers

would allow her name to be used. ia sh o meouldsay, pricia, d home tonight? you also think as soon as you walk away and get away, you thin i ruin my career? >> domingo has issued a statement saying in part, the allegations from these unnamed individuals dating back as many as 30 years are deeply troubling and as presented inaccurate. i believe that all of my interactions and relationships were always welcomed and consensual. none of the women could offer documentation of the alleged encounters but the associated press spoke to many colleagues and friends who they confided in. the ap also independently verified the women worked where they said they did and that domingo overlapped with them at those locations. the ap also noted that these women did not want to disclose

their names for fear of retribution still in the opera industry. >> some wiggle room in the statement. the accusations as presented are inaccurate. >> yes. >> it will be interesting to see what happens and you were asking, these women say they are now coming forward because they are empowered by the me too movement like so many others. >> a very familiar story. thank you very much, nikki. the trump administration's newest immigration policy will affect hundreds of thousands of legal immigrants. the public charge rule will make it more difficult for low income immigrants to become permanent u.s. residents. the administration says it is only implementing a law that congress passed 23 years ago. weijia jiang is near the president's new jersey golf club where he is on vacation. weijia, what's the goal of this policy? >> reporter: well, good morning, gayle. you know, president trump has already enforced a lot of aggressive steps against illegal immigration but these new rules bolster his long standing belief that legal immigrants should be merit based and hardliners in

his administration like steven miller who have crafted much of the immigration policy have long pushed for these changes that target poorer immigrants. >> throughout our history, self-reliance has been a core principle in america. >> reporter: the acting director of immigration services ken cuccinelli announced it will be harder for legal immigrants to become permanent residents if they are likely to use a public benefit such as medicaid, food stamps, and subsidized housing. >> to ensure that our immigration system is bringing people to join us as american citizens, as legal, permanent residents first, who can stand on their own two feet. >> reporter: the administration argues that whether someone will be primarily dependent on the government for support is already a factor in their status. but the new rules will put more of an emphasis on a person's financial well being. about 382,000 people will be subject to the public charge test every year.

>> basically have to choose between ensuring their families are healthy, that they have the nutrition that they need and just overall well being or be separated and potentially denied the ability to remain permanently here. >> reporter: this is the executive director of the national immigration law center. >> out of all of the immigration policies this is actually the one that will have the most, deepest, widest, long-term impact probably for decades to come. >> reporter: despite the administration's claim that large numbers of noncitizen immigrants have taken advantage of our generous public benefits, recent statistics show that they make up only 6.5% of medicaid participants and 8.8% of those who receive food stamps. the new rules are set to go into effect on october 15th but they will likely face plenty of legal challenges and end up in court and there are exceptions for people who already have green

cards, refugees, asylum seekers, pregnant women, and children and some members of the military. tony? >> all right, weijia. thank you very much. a friend of the gunman who killed nine people in dayton, ohio now faces criminal charges. federal prosecutors say 24-year-old ethan kollie helped conner betts but there is no evidence he knew the attack was coming. kollie is charged with lying about drug abuse when he bought a gun for himself back in may and investigators say he also bought a critical part for an assault rifle, a 100-round magazine and body armor betts used in the mass shooting earlier this month. >> kollie indicated that he purchased these items for betts and stored them at kollie's residence in order to assist betts in hiding the items from betts's parents. >> kollie faces up to 15 years in prison if convicted on gun and drug charges. he is due in court tomorrow. >> i know it's been reported he didn't know what was coming but wouldn't you have some questions for your friend? >> yes, if you're buying body

armor and hundred-round magazines? what are you thinking? >> good point. or you at least should ask some questions. >> exactly. the trump administration faces strong criticism for rolling back landmark protections for endangered animals. ahead, the growing effort to good tuesday morning. we have a spare the air alert with the air quality unhealthy for sensitive groups in the east bay and through the afternoon, temps will heat up in linn. 97 in concord, 96 livermore, mid-80s in oakland and upper 70s in san francisco. heating up more wednesday and thursday with triple digit heat inland with temperatures cooling down into the weekend.

proverbial crazy uncle tole at the table to change their minds? >> here's the thing, you'll have a really difficult time. ask yourself what's the cost benefit analysis? engage them, that's what this is about. making them feel like they have a seat at the table. do this in whatever way that you can. maybe on a political level they don't feel like they have a voice. it's about someone trying to create agency in their lives. are there wait to reintegrate them in the fall? can you involve them in conversations? can you give them to too -- to do around the table. >> well when you provide the facts, you say, look, this isn't true. >> yeah. >> how do you deal with that? >> you're going to be butting heads. i have to say that for many this is a lose-lose situation. you already believe very firmly, look, i'm not saying this is bordering delusion as we talk about in psychiatry which is a firm, fixed, unshakeable belief. the truth is depending on where you grew up, if you grew up in a society where there was a lot of corruption, these things to you are fact.

if you grew up in a home where mistrust was something or that you blamed authority or were suspicious of officials, you'll have a hard time getting there person -- >> the internet and social media have complicated this. >> yes. and conspiracy theory isn't about fact. it's about where we give attention. and our attention is drawn to things that we already believe . the best thing that that you can do is limit it, present the facts, give information. they have to be willing to change their way of thought. >> all right. sounds like a big job for somebody. thank you so much, sue, for joining us. >> my pleasure. "the amc show" called lodge 49. i guarantee you it's unlike anything else on tv today. it stars wyatt russell. hey, there he is. he's in the toyota green room. like everybody else, too. coming up, how he relates to his optimistic character, his name is bud.

tonight, we separate the weak from the strong. if you don't make it through tonight, you're dead to all of us. rooster, light the torch. >> nice headband.% that's wyatt russell playing a fraternity pledge master in 22 jump street. born into an acting family, he took a different path and spent

several years pursuing prsionockey caerntil an injury shifted his focus to hollywood. now he stirs as dud in the amc show "lodge 49." it follows the former surfer as he tries to rebuild his life after the death of his father and the loss of his family pool cleaning business. in season two, a new family takes over his former shop, and dud tries to get a job there. >> actually, i'm glad you're here. because i wanted to come in, introduce myself, and if you don't mind, offer my services. >> services? >> yeah. inventory, maintenance, installation. i got it all wired. yeah, i would be happy to come on, offer myself as a consultant, and when i get off these, jump back in. i don't have a vehicle right now, but i do know every pool from low south to lakewood. >> oh, this is our son buoy. that's his job. >> hi, buoy. >> wyatt russell joins us now. good morning, wyatt.

lodge 49 has been described as ridiculously hard to sin opicize. how would you describe the show? >> i would describe the show as sort of an existential journey of my character dud going from point a to point b. point b being nirvana, which is a very simple place, cleaning pools, but you have to jump through fire and hell to get there. >> i was thinking, this is what i was thinking, wyatt. sort of like magic to mundane. >> yes. >> does that make sense to you? you look at your dud character. >> yes. what dud sees is in everyday life, you can choose to see magic in anything. >> yeah. >> walk down the street, and you can -- the way a building is built, the way anybody presents themselves in certain ways. it's all part of the world we're living in. >> look what's happened to him. he had a snake bite, shark attack, his father is dead, yet he's still an optimist and still

believes in life and appears to be searching for the meaning of life. >> dud is an eternal optimist. everything that sees in a light of positivity and tries to see through anything negative is not part of what he wants to be about. he's trying to look at the positive things in life, even through death and through the hard experiences. >> the lodge that he joins, the social club. >> yeah. >> how does that help him? >> everybody is looking for a place to become a part of something. and in our world today, especially with phones and email and internet and whatever, you don't have face-to-face contact like you used to. these lodges represent a place where people can go and they can share their experiences, whether they're failures or triumphs, and they can be together. that's what it is. >> you seem to be a fan of face-to-face contact over the digital alternative. you're not on social media. doing that these days is taking a stance, whether you want to or

not. do you want to, are you trying to send a message? >> no, it's literally i don't engage with it that well. it's -- i'm a private person. sort of the last bastion of privacy. i know i'm missing out on money or s o whatever, but i find it it's nice. i don't have to worry about it. i don't worry about what other people think or i say. >> did you dabble in it and then get off? >> no. when it first came out, it was all private. >> you could control it. >> i thought it was cool, and i'm on it, but i'm privately, so you can be with your friends, see what your friends are doing, but i don't love the idea of someone in new jersey feeling like whatever i do is somehow impacting their day. you know -- >> or has anything to do with their day or they're weighing in on your life. >> exactly. >> i remember when you were playing hockey. a lot of stories in the news because apparently you were very good at it, but then you got injured. do you think if you didn't get

injured you would still be playing? >> it was my life and my passion. i would have, and it would have been a real mistake because it's a drug. it keeps you going back where you're going to go to some new country in norway and play in some weird town. and it's going to be great. but then you realize you come back home and you're 36 years old and you have no marketable skills. >>ane way, you're glad you got injured? >> in hindsight, it was the best thing that happened, for sure. >> because? >> because i wouldn't have -- my view of life was rather narrow. it wasn't -- i was experiencing life in another country. in other countries, and that was great. but my view is narrow in terms of what i was going to be able to do and give in my life. >> but acting is so low and hockey is a team. the difference between the two, the lessons you learned is interesting. >> i think the lessons that were similar, that acting, although it seems solo, is very team

oriented. i find that people that have -- that do it on a high level that i worked with all are very inclusive with the crew, with the people around you. they're all there to makia look good. >> yes. >> and the thing about competition in sports and hockey and acting is in hockey, there's another person on the other side of that -- of you trying to make you not win. >> that wants you to lose. >> in acting, everybody wants you to be good. no one ever goes to a movie and is like, i hope this guy is horrible. it doesn't happen. >> people on social media root against you. good thing you're on it. thank you for being here. >> thank you for having me. >> and thank you for not talking on and on about your mom and dad. >> yeah, we somehow missed that. how did that happen? a private person. wyatt russell, thank you very much. >> thank you. >> you can watch "lodge 49" monday nights on amc. >> on "cbs this morning" podcast, vanity fair editor in
