7:06 am
>> meg, thank you. taliban leaders are making new threats against u.s. troops infg trump canceled secret peace talks with the militants and afghan leaders. right-of-way now, negotiations -- right now, negotiations to end the nearly 18-year conflict and bring u.s. troops home are in turmoil. charlie d'agata is in kabul. what's the afghan government saying morning? >> reporter: well, it was the announcement of the cancelation that took everybody by surprise here, including the taliban who warned that it it would lead to the loss of more american lives. talks between the u.s. and the taliban seemed on the verge. a breakthrough until it all fell apart. president trump tweeting that he called off peace negotiations in the wake of last week's taliban attack that killed a u.s. service member and at least 11 others which caught president ghani's government here on the back foot.
7:07 am
>> are peace talks continuing? >> we don't think so at this ep anseparately the presif afghanistan were goi >> we're looking at meeting where we're going to have president ghani and representatives of the taliban and president trump at camp david, a very important place. that's huge. >> well, i don't know -- i can't comment on that right now. i don't have that much detail of any meeting that could have happened at camp david. >> reporter: maybe because it was supposed to be a secret. camp david, the country retreat where presidents down the years have invited world leaders to broker some of history's most famous peace deals. the president's decision to host the taliban there on the eve of the anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks has angered
7:08 am
members of his own party. here the taliban's use of violence like suicide bombings ool fonegoating peace only servo prolong the war. the president's spokesman told us there was actually some relief that those talks were canceled. it shows you can't talk to the taliban while they're on the attack, and they can't be trusted. tony? >> collaterally d'agata for us in kabul. thank you so much. the united states went to war in afghanistan 18 years ago this month. we want to offer some context to what is america's longest war. about 14,000 american troops are still in the country, and over the course of the war more than 2,400 service men and women have died there. the u.s. has spent more than $2 trillion. so the big question -- how did we get to right now? well, seven days after the 9/11 attacks, president george w. bush signed a resolution authorizing the use of force against those responsible for 9/11, al qaeda with the support of the taliban who ran afghanistan at the time. 19 days later the u.s. launched its first air strikes on
7:09 am
afghanistan, and the taliban government quickly fell. the taliban had a resurgence in 2006 taking advantage of weak afghan government leadership and launching hundreds of attacks each month. presidenanresu handle the violence. afghan security forces took over the war in 2014, but thousands of u.s. troops remain due to continuing instability. since then the taliban has steadily gained more power and territory. taliban mill can't control -- military control more than in 2001 when the u.s. invasion happened, giving more leverage at a crucial time and a crucial seat at the negotiating table. >> that's where we begin. senior foreign affairs correspondent and "face the nation" moderator margaret brennan has more on that part of the story. the big question now is why was
7:10 am
this meeting really canceled. >> reporter: good morning. i'm told by both u.s. officials and senior afghan officials that the reason goes deeper than the president's tweet which claimed it was all due to the deadly bombing on thursday. negotiators went back in to talks right after that bombing, and neither side had actually agreed to a cease-fire. a senior administration official i spoke with told me it did, though, become a parent that the taliban negotiators at the table did not have full command and control of the fighters on the ground what carried out that attack -- ground who carried out that attack. in addition, key details were still unfinished. the taliban still has ties to al qaeda accord according to u.s. intelligence. that's key. the taliban did publicly say they refused to travel until a deal was signed, and secretary of state mike pompeo told me yesterday on "face the nation" that there was confusion on this
7:11 am
point, but he did believe that the taliban did intend and they planned to have them show up at camp david. you also have to keep in mind there's a backdrop of disagreement within the trump administration itself over whether that drawdown in u.s. troops from 14,8600 what the president previously announced needs to happen with an agreement or can happen without one. >> there emails to be more to the -- there seems to be more to the story than what the president tweets. what happens now? >> reporter: that's the big question. secretary pompeo said the president will have to make a decision on force posture. that means is he going to revisit his previously announced decision to take the number of u.s. troops down from 14,000 to 8,600. he said he was going to do so around the same time that the taliban and the afghan government received invitations to camp david. new circumstances, does that change? pompeo said he didn't know the
7:12 am
answer yet. he did leave the door open to returning to talks, but that's going to be tough. the one constant that we hear from both president trump and every single democrat running for the nomination in 2002 fwoo is they want to end the u.s. involvement in the war. for the taliban this may be a matter of waiting. as charlie said, it will continue to be deadly. the taliban said they would use violence to gain leverage. >> the world is watching. thank you so much. a new cbs news battleground tracker poll shows a shuffle in the top tier of democratic presidential contenders. senator elizabeth warren has a one-point edge over former vice president joe biden, 26% to 25%. senator bernie sanders is also gaining grounds. the poll of democratic voters was conducted across the first 18 caucus and primary states. ed o'keefe is on capitol hill. what's the significance of these numbers? >> reporter: it's not that joe biden slipping, it's just that elizabeth warren is on the rise. she's generating enthusiasm
7:13 am
among democrats who also believe she has a better shot than before at defeating donald trump. >> hello nam democrats! >> reporter: senator elizabeth response at the democratic convention where 19 presidential candidates spoke over the owned. the new cbs news battleground tracker poll shows warren edging out joe biden in the granite state by one point. he has strong support in south carolina with african-americans. in nevada, senator bernie sanders is in front of biden and warren with 29% support. >> we've got a revolution to make. you ready to do it? [ cheers ] >> reporter: the poll also finds that warren is picking up the most support from voters changing their minds. for example, 29% of voters who previously support california senator kamala harris have switched to supporting warren. it was a rough weekend for
7:14 am
harris who had to apologize after a man attending one. her town halls called president trump's actions mentally retarded. she responded with -- >> well said. well said. >> reporter: harris later told cbcn she didn't hear the man's full comments. >> it was not something that i really heard or processed or, you know, or in any way condone, that's for sure. >> reporter: meanwhile, former south carolina governor and congressman mark sanford announced he is going to challenge president trump for the republican nomination. >> this is the beginning a long walk, but it begins with that first step. that's what i'm announcing here today. >> reporter: sanford is now the third republican challenging the
7:15 am
president. but in a sign of how tricky it could be for them, at least four states are now planning to cancel their republican primaries saying that the president's popular enough with gop voters. as for democrats, theygeing rea debate thursday night when biden and warren will be center stage in houston. tony? >> and we'll be watching. thank you so much. as congress returns to washington, democrats on the house judiciary are expected to significantly expasse in hush-money payments to women who say they had affairs with mr. trump which he denies. democrats want to scrutinize reports that he offered pardons to officials willing to break the law over immigration policies. democrats also want to know whether the president's resorts and properties have profited from government business. the air force says it is reviewing reports over the weekend that crews occasionally stayed at the president's turnberry resort in scotland. this morning crews in eastern canada are cleaning up after extensive damage from hurricane dorian. a massive construction crane collapsed on to a building in nova scotia saturday. dorian slammed halifax as a category-two hurricane. in the bahamas, thousands are scrambling to escape areas destroyed by dorian.
7:16 am
the official death toll there rose overnight to 45. errol barnett's been reporting from the bahamas since last week. he joins us from freeport on grand bahama island. this is an incredible humanitarian crisis. >> reporter: without question. the u.n. estimates 70,000 people are in need of food and shelter. we've been speaking to many of them. the government says it's evacuated roughly 3,500 people southeast of nassau. it was largely untouched by the storm. there is mass confusion as american groups come in, combing through miles of debris to try and help account for the miss. just a week after hurricane dorian struck the bahamas, the desperation to escape the devastation is rising. thousands waited to board boats and plans to head to nassau or florida over the weekend. >> please proceed --
7:17 am
>> reporter: before this ferry left for florida overnight, one reporter captured videos of the crew ordering evacuees without a u.s. visa to disembark. u.s. customs and border protection is blaming the ferry company for ordering certain evacuees off the boat. officials saying they would have processed those evacuees just like they did with nearly 1,500 dorian survivors from a cruise ship that arrived saturday. on sunday, we joined a team of firefighters from the city of miami and miami-dade county as they search for victims on grand bahama island, delivering aid to those stranded in the hardest hit areas. where would a good place for us -- in the middle of the devastation, we found eva thomas, staring into the distance, holding a shovel. you see all the debris lined up in front of your home. this is your whole life right here. >> right there. everything gone in one time. >> reporter: brandi and sylvia naggy felt dorian's eye bulldoze over them as they rode out the
7:18 am
storm in their home. they used the first responders' satellite phone to call their daughter for the first time since the disaster. >> this was very, very bad. very bad decision. >> reporter: sounds like there's a big sigh of relief. >> it is, it is right now. >> reporter: it was clear, too. >> it is. >> reporter: you got each other still. >> yeah. we do. >> reporter: and we have been hearing so many unnerving stories, whether it's the woman who watched her grandchildren wash out to sea or a man who held on to a tree for two days as dorian stalled. u.s. groups are here helping because the government is unable to manage this crisis alone. and it reminded everyone once again there weekend that the death toll is expected to increase significantly. that's because so many people are unaccounted for. >> the story's getting worse. thank you so much, errol barnett. a book by with the reporters who blown the harvey weinstein book with more.

8:06 am
one is that joe biden is holding steady in support. it's elizabeth warren who's been on the rise. what's behind that is that she's drawing support that used to come from other lower tier candidates or now lower tier candidates, especially can kamala harris have come to elizabeth warren. >> we've seen a significant erosion from harris's base? >> that's exactly right and we know this because we went back and re-interviewed people we talked to this summer. the other thing that's interesting is elizabeth warren supporters increasingly think that warren can beat donald trump. that's so key because this what we call electability has been so important for democrats all throughout this campaign. >> and has been a sniignificant point that joe biden has been making. warren and sanders have similar policy proposals. are they competing for the same voters? >> to some extent they are which is why it's important to watch voters switch back and forth. the other thing i noted is the enthusiasm measure. that means that elizabeth warren
8:07 am
is now increasingly seen as someone democrats would be enthusiastic about were she to become the nominee. that i think is important to watch as we go forward. it also helps explain her rise in some of these particular states, places like new hampshire. >> the top ten democratic hopefuls take the stage at the debates on thursday. what are voters out there going to be looking for? >> well, first of all, we've seen that voters say most democrats say that the debate process, candidates getting in, they think it's by and large fair. here's what's striking. there's an increasing number of democrats who say that they would like to see the party move in a more progressive direction than they've had before. not necessarily just a return to the policies under former president obama. i think that's interesting because watch what voters want. watch the direction they want the party to go. that could favor candidates like warren, candidates like sanders who are taking more progressive policies relative to the rest of the field. >> all right, anthony salvanto. thanks for being with us.

this book contains one-sided allegations without having adequately investigated theitti weins ery differee to every story. that's harvey weinstein's lawyer. book >> so what i would say to that is, first of all, we really describe in the book how we check each allegation. whether it's somebody who's a hollyw hollywood star, a former assistant who doesn' a name, wee atioery one these stor i hope it goes without saying corrob oat you just don't put charges storiesious right in the newspaper or right in a book. >> i think the book is really -- i can't say this enough -- extraordinary in terms of being a page turner. t wasldn't get enough of it. bookther superhero in this book to me is the company's account, irwin rider. >> rider -- >> who provided you with very ?mportant key information that sort of kicked off all of this. what did he do? >> well, irwin rider, we can oatally disclose now he was kind of the deep throat of the harvey

wine strae weinstein investigation. he had worked for weinstein for 30 years. he had seen glimpses of wrongdoing over the years, had not acted, had not done anything ofut it. like a lot of people, he had dismissdismissed it until around late 2014 when he started 2014ave mounting concerns about what was going on in the co company. and for two years, he basically tried to act, and he failed. he was not successful and he was not able, and finally when i called him in september of 2017, he agreed very nervously to meet with him. i was nervous, too, because i thought he might be a weinstein spy. >> he met with you close to the weinstein company. >> we were in tribecca. just a couple of blocks from the >> weinstein offices. and slowly he started to tell me about more recent wrongdoing at the weinstein company. te was talking about things that had happened in 2014, 2015, and eventually he provided a rovided ato us that really became key to publishing the story.

sylvia plath, and amanda accident on have in common? they can help us understand why interintersecti interactions with strangers goes wrong. "talking to strangers: what we should know about people we don't know," and the harmful impact of not understanding other people and how we can improve. malcolm gladwell joins us. good morning. thank you for being here. >> thank you. >> i think we should begin by defining stranger. i mean, we're strangers, we said hello in the green room. >> yeah. yeah. >> what is a stranger -- >> anyone outside of your immediate circle of family and friends. like one of the central arguments to the book is that strategies that work really well with people who are intimate to us don't work so well with people who are outside of our circle. and we need to understand that. that difference. >> and you say the case of sandrand, aom in texas, pulled over, ends up committing suicide in prison a few years
8:44 am
ago, that it's a case study in what can happen when we fail to read strangers appropne o the sf very high-profile cases a ce of for the book. i like many people heard about that case, was incredibly moved by it. and i wanted to write a full explanation of what happens, how can a conversation between a normal police officer and a young woman coming from a job interview in a middle-class texas town, in the middle of the day, how can it go so badly awry that the woman ends up in prison and then ends up committing suicide a few days later. so i wanted to sort of go through all of the ways in which we can misread each other. what are the -- what are the mistaken assumptions we carry around with us? what are the -- are there tools that we're using to make sense of strangers that aren't up to the task? >> you don't write about race in that interaction, though, which surprised me. >> i don't because it's implicit.
8:45 am
i mean, of course that confrontation was about race. but what i -- what i wanted to do was take the conversation one step beyond. because i feel like in this country sometimes when we say that something's racial it becomes an excuse to do nothing more. you say, oh, the cop was a racist, how do you prevent that in the future. how do you change someone's heart? and my point is there is a way to understand th a level. >> you said, senator bland wasn't -- bland wasn't criminal, she was upset. you go point by point, the interaction between sandra and the cop. people have to read that to get to that. we've got so many things in this book. i like what you say about the truth-default theory which is so -- i hadn't thought about it until you put it that way. explain what that means. >> this is an idea from a really brilliant psychologist named tim levine who argues that -- he was concerned with the problem that many psychologists were concern wednesday for years which is human beings are not good at detecting lies. we're terrible at it. we think we're good at it, we're not. the question is, why.
8:46 am
there's all kind of theories. his explanation i think is the most convincing. he says, it's because we have a default to truth, that human beings as part of our essential nature are trusting machines. that when we talk to someone, our assumption is you are being sincere, are you telling me the truth, and it takes a lot of evidence to sort of shake me out of that default position. >> is that why you say face-to-face interactions aren't helpful? >> well, they are problematic. i think we greatly overestimate how much information we can gather from face-to-face interaction. for this very reason, among other things. because we're very trusting, and also we just to all kind of conclusions about from what -- >> you talk about the brock turner case, where you said the stanford swimmer, harmless encounter on a dance floor ended up a crime. the reason why this story in particular is so important, it's about the role that alcohol plays, people don't understand. >> yeah. >> alcohol, especially if you're
8:47 am
a blind drunk, changes who you are. >> yeah. i wanted -- that's deep in the book i'm talking about what are the things that can impair our ability to conduct this very difficult negotiation between strangers. >> these kids go to parties to meet strangers. >> they go to parties to meet strangers. i think we have underestimated just how -- it's more than toxic. it's that the presence of alcohol in a conversation between two strangers changes each party's sense of themselves, the decisions they make. it can turn ordinary people into criminals. i think that there's a -- particularly the younger generation, there are -- they have i think a cavalier attitude towards alcohol's dangers. we need to address that. >> we need to meet strangers. we don't live in a village anymoreme anymore. your c-- your constantly going o encounters this on a daily basis. how do we get better?
8:48 am
>> the last book is concerned. i take an example of how police behave and -- that's one of the most consequential, that's a profession by its nature is about people talking to strangers. police officers are required to. how can we help them do a better job in that's -- i think that is a really crucial question. and i talk in the book about how we need to give police a lot more -- need to be far more selective in how we use proactive, aggressive police power. we need to use it only in those situations where there is a high degree of probability that criminal behavior is taking place. >> malcolm gladwell, thank you for being with us.
