president joe biden's son hunter who worked for a ukrainian gas company during the obama administration. >> not one single credible outlet has given any credibility to his assertion. not one single one. >> reporter: while campaigning in iowa, biden first dismissed any wrongdoing. >> so i have no comment except the president should start to -- >> reporter: he later fired back writing in a statement, "such clear-cut corruption, damages, and diminishing our government by making them tools of a personal, political vendetta." house speaker nancy pelosi says this whistleblower's complaint raises urgent national security concerns. democrats are also investigating if the president tried to withhold military aid from the ukraine in an effort to pressure it to investigate the bideens. so far there is no evidence proving that's what happened. jeff? >> okay. thank you so much. this morning, iran is lashing out at tighter economic sanctions being imposed on it by the u.s.

on air and missile defense. we will also work to accelerate the delivery of military equipment to the kingdom of saudi arabia and the uae to enhance their ability to defend themselves. >> reporter: the administration says the increased military presence will also ensure the free flow of commerce through the strait of hormuz. the critical waterway where iran has seize tiger woods foreign tankers and -- seized two foreign tankers and seized more in recent months. the united states and saudi arabia accuse iran of being behind the attack on the kingdom's oil facilities, a claim tehran denies. this was the first look at that damage with burnt-out towers and storage tanks, caused by cruise missiles and attack drones. this is a crucial part of the plan. you -- the plant. you have the oil fields that's pumped in to this part of the facility. this is where they separate the gas and water from the oil. so when the projectile hit this tank, it created an enormous

fireball. the fires raged for hours, and repairs are underway. but repairing the calm in the region looks difficult as tensions continue to rise. a beefed up u.s. military presence on the arabian peninsula has been a source for anti-american sentiment in the past. osama bin laden used it to rally fellow jihadis to resist what he called a crusader invasion. dana? >> ian lee in riyadh, thank you. the democratic presidential hopefuls are spending the weekend campaigning in iowa. it began last night for ten of the contenders at a forum on gay rights. at the event, front-runner joe biden raised eyebrows when he said he was an early supporter of same-sex rights. ed o'keefe is in iowa. good morning. >> reporter: good morning, dana. gay rights has been a big issue here in the first in the nation caucus state for several years. it's just one of the issues presidential candidates are talking about in their mad dash.

candidates are focused on winning over iowa voters with a caucus here only about 130 day away. >> i'm not going to change who i am. you're going to get exactly what i am.

their decision. the idea's to boost participation among democrats across the state, and there's a good chance that could favor ce rit. thank you. the driver of an suv has been arrested after he allegedly drove through a mall in a chicago suburb. >> no, there is not happening right -- this is not happening right now. what the [ bleep ] -- what the -- >> police say the 22-year-old man crashed through the mall in schaumburg on friday and then drove around its corridors as shoppers and store workers ran for cover. police say there was no indication that this was a terrorist attack. amazingly no one was injured. >> thankfully. federal transportation safety investigators are on their way to southern utah this morning to look into a deadly bus crash near brice canyon national park. at least four people are dead, and at least five others clinging to life after officials say the tour bus careened into a

officials are hoping over the next few days that some water will recede even more, allowing them to get a better count of how many homes, businesses, cars have been flooded out by this massive storm. floodwats sweeping over entire neighborhoods in houston are forcing homeowners to still keep their distance. major highways across southeast drivers to navigate through treacherous conditions over the last few days. harris county officials say hundreds of people were rescued from their hoemps when a bayou -- homes when a bayou became swollen with floodwater. rescue crews continue to monitor those areas as conditions improve. strong currents ripped barges loose on the san jacinto river and pushed them into multiple bridge columns, forcing the shut down of a freeway until divers wi can inspect the damage. >> there is no dilution, they're being moved --

now because of a warmer climate and climate change it is a one in 100-year event. climate change is making these types of events, more extreme events much more common. imelda's moisture is moving northward. as it does so, it's movinging into air temperatures in the 70s and 80s today, and that's colliding with an invasion of winter across the rockies. temperatures in the 30s. that collision causing a lot of showers and thunderstorms and severe weather later today in kansas, into missouri, also into iowa. tennis ball-sized hail. wind gusts up to around 70 miles per hour. watch out for that. because imelda's moisture is kind of part of this system, we're going to see about double the amount of rainfall we otherwise would have, a swath around kansas city, quincy, des moines, chicago, could see two to five or six inches of rain. watch out for flash flooding. the rest of the country looking good. in fact, the first day of autumn is monday. enjoy the rest of your weekend and our transition to autumn.

ready -- end zone, caught by brown! touchdown, new england. antonio brown, the newest patriot. >> it was less than a week ago that superstar wide receiver antonio brown looked like he would be headlining a seemingly unstoppable offense for the new england patriots. on friday the defending super bowl champs cut brown after he had played just one game for them. the move came after a second woman had accused him of sexual misconduct. the new england patriots shocked the football world when they signed antonio brown less than two weeks ago. the threatened but controversial wide receiver had just been released by the oakland raiders,

despite the team signing him to a $50 million contract this year. a day after he joined new england, brown's former trainer, 28-year-old britney taylor, filed a civil lawsuit alleging he sexually assaulted her three times, including a violent rape at his miami home last year. taylor sat down with nfl investigators on monday for ten hours. that same day, "sports illustrated" published an account by another woman who says brown made unwanted sexual advances toward her in 2017 after he hired her to paint a mural in his house. thursday night, "sports illustrated" reported that same woman received an intimidating group text allegedly from brown's telephone which included pictures of her and her children. the texter accused the woman of fabricating her story for cash. during his friday news conference, patriots coach bill belichick cold reporters he wouldn't -- told reporters he wouldn't comment on any of brown's off-the-field issues. >> i'm good.

okay. thank you. >> reporter: belichick abruptly ended the session. hours later, brown was off the team, and the patriots released a statement reading in part, "we feel that it is best to move in a different direction at this time." the nfl is investigating the claims against brown and could suspend him. his agent says that brown is looking forward to playing in the nfl again. and as it works out, i happen to be doing sidelines for the patriots game on sunday. as the broadcast team we were at practice yesterday. the only ones there -- and i can tell you antonio brown practiced the entire time. at least to us it didn't look like he wouldn't be playing. >> no indication -- just out of the blue? >> i mean, they've been investigating, and these reports were out. bill belichick said at the conference they were looking into things. at least we know this much, he was practicing with the team yesterday. >> we will see if he hooks one another team now at any point -- >> you're taking a lot with that. much more ahead. first, a look at the weather for your weekend. ♪

overhead can be jarring. mountains teeming with towering trees followed by winding cutouts of nothing but stumps. this is what modern-day clearcutting looks like. giant machines handle massive trees like matchsticks. this land has never been logged. >> no. it hasn't. >> reporter: this is a place where none of that has happened. a so-called old growth forest. >> we only have about 15% of the forest that once grew trees like this that are left. >> reporter: areas like this were protected by the northwest forest plan which was signed in 1994. it impacted more than 24 million acres of federal land in oregon, california, and washington. was the northwest forest plan a success or failure? >> from an environmental perspective, it's'rnl

land, time lapse of satellite images over northwest oregon give a sense of how common clear-cutting still is. lague says it has a lasting impact. forests capture carbon, helping to cool the earth and slow climate change. logging companies are required by law to replant new trees after they're cut. it can take a decade or more before a young forest absorbs as much carbon as an older one. not many people are willing to talk about the story or take us to places like this. why do you do that? >> i think we as an industry have not done a good job historically of telling our story. >> reporter: todd payn is a member of seneca jones, a timber giant in oregon. has the plan been a success or failure? >> honestly speaking, i think it was a failure.

>> reporter: payn e believes its choking growth and some say is leading to more wildfires because forests have been neglected. he took us to one of seneca's expansive tree farms an hour and a half outside eugene where they operate on 50-year cycles. this year next to us was clear cut about 55 years ago for the first time and then clear cut again three or four years ago. >> three years ago, correct. >> reporter: why clear cut? >> we're mimicking what mother nature's done for billions of years. >> reporter: this looks traumatic for a lot of people when they see something like this. >> i actually look at it quite different. i think it's somewhat aesthetically pleasing. >> reporter: you think that looks's needically pleasing? >> i do, maybe it's biased, but i look and see sustainability, rejuvenation. >> reporter: timber companies have traditionally used a practice called aerial spraying. chemicals dropped via helicopter to kill any vegetation other than trees used for lumber. a lot of people are concerned

about the spring. >> well, i think people are not informed well on that subject. we use it once or twice in a 50-year cycle. >> reporter: it ultimately flows somewhere, though. >> no, it doesn't. a lot of times this stuff doesn't flow off the landscape. the product will adhere to the vegetation that it's targeted for and stay there. >> reporter: nancy webster, who lives up the coast in rockaway beach, oregon, is worried those chemicals seep into her drinking water. the fight between environmentalists and locking companies is not now -- logging companies is not new, but this seems like the newest chapter. >> right. this affects the fish, the wildlife, and we are up against large corporations. and to even counter it, you need science and legal help, and it's really difficult for small communities. >> reporter: today the situation may be reaching a critical point because the federal government wants to suspend a public review process which logging companies say needlessly ties them up in

i think it's worth it. >> the global demand for woods over the next ten years is expected to increase 33%. so the question is where that lumber comes from, if it comes from somewhere. the timber industry would argue that whatever impact their practices may have, it's less what it is to use concrete or steel and the imprint that has globally as we go forwards. >> i would imagine less as in our skyscrapers here in new york -- >> it's amazing when you look at it, it's a compromise. somewhere you got to find a middle grounds between the sides. the college application process can be tricky for students and parents. it only gets harder for kids from low-income families. up next, we'll meet a student who reached for his dream schools and got in thanks in large part to the help he received from some committed volunteers. that's coming up on "cbs this morning saturday."

don't have that luxury. i acknowledge the fact that i'm ad a disadvantage compared to not because i wasn't qualified to go to the school, not because i wasn't a competitive applicant, but because of the fact that i didn't know how to navigate the process. >> reporter: you needed that exposure. >> exactly. >> kevin is really an unusual kid. he is smart and energetic and confident. >> and a great sense of self that just won't quit. >> reporter: husband and wife coaches amy and scott silverstein helped make harvard a reality for kinch by assist -- kevin by assisting in the application process. >> we attack the common app essay. ever being who he is what he's dreaming of is wrapped up in the essay. >> i was conceived -- >> reporter: in his essay, kevin tells his story which began in colombia where he was born as a

result of an affair and brought to there country when he was just 2 years old. what has your family sacrificed? >> they left their family behind. they went into a place that the language is unfamiliar to them. that's ultimately the biggest sacrifice that you can kind of do for your children, being able to sacrifice everything that you know and everything that you're used to to give them a better opportunity and to maybe give them just a little bit of a leg up. >> reporter: for that reason, he tried his best in school and aimed for a brighter future. but to him, that meant a state school in new york. >> i never imagined myself applying to any schools above that because -- i thought it was too out of reach. >> reporter: yeah, way reach. >> way reach. >> reporter: on both, what, financially and academically? >> yeah. the major thing was financially. >> these children with the same level of potential and academic ability are not aware of what options exist for them. [ applause ] they're afraid to aim high

because they think that these institutions are not meant for them. >> reporter: kevin worked with the silversteins at least once a week for four to five hours at a time. that effort paid off. what colleges were you accepted to? >> i was stepped to stanford university, yale university, and harvard university. >> reporter: those are the only three colleges you applied to? >> yep. >> reporter: are you kidding me? no cuny? >> i didn't apply to any others. >> no buffalo state? >> nope. >> reporter: go big or go home. >> yes. >> reporter: kevin is at stanford this fall on a full financial ride. so why did you choose stanford? >> there was just this feeling that i got while i was at stanford that kind of made me feel like that was the path that i'm supposed to go on. >> reporter: like you're garden -- you sowed the needs and now you have a bounty -- sowed the seeds, and now you have a basis point. >> this work is

transformational, not only for the students that we serve but for their parents who have put all of their hopes and dreams in the potential of their child being the first in their family to go to college. it's transforming an entire life for generations to come. >> let's face it, people with money can access a variety of resources for their kids. and in is only providing that for free to kids who can't afford it. >> and then affecting the rest of the generations to come. great story, michelle. coming up next, a different kind of alien invasion. if you're heading out, don't forget to record "cbs this morning saturday." coming up in our next hour, it takes commitment to be a major league all-star. the washington nationals pitcher is also carrying out a personal mission to support local book shops during the long major league season. plus, it was a town on the rocks that has been saved by music. we'll go to asbury park, home of

welcome to "cbs this morning saturday." i'm michelle miller with jeff glor and dana jacobson. and coming up this hour, at rallies around the world on friday, people demanded the governments take action to address climate change. we'll talk to "time" magazine's senior climate correspondent about the push to get something done. and selfies are the new handshake, at least when political candidates try to connect with voters. we'll tell you how one small picture is part of a much bigger public in the race to the white house. and it always had a beach, boardwalk, and ocean views. but when this jersey shore town fell on tough times, its musical heritage helped bail it out. we'll go to asbury park for a

big music festival that gets underway today, and we'll have a special performance from one of its acts in our "saturday session" ahead. first, our top story this hour. former vice president joe biden is firing back at president trump this morning after mr. trump reportedly pressed the ukrainian president to investigate biden's son. biden is calling on there trump to release -- is calling on mr. trump to release the transcript of the call in question immediately. the president was asked several times on friday to comment on the whistleblower complaints surrounding the call to the ukrainian president, but mr. trump stopped short of providing specifics about the call. >> i don't know the identity of the whistleblower. i hear it's a partisan person. meaning it comes out from another party. but i don't have any idea. but i can say that it was a totally appropriate conversation. >> the white house held up military aid to ukraine over the summer. democrats are investigating whether the president was using that aid to pressure ukraine to

investigate the bideens. so far, there is no troop that occurred. iran is lashing out at tighter economic sanctions being leveled by the u.s. it is also vowing to destroy anyone who takes action against tehran for the attacks on sawy oil fields. the u.s. blames iran for striking at those key oil facilities last week. iran denies any involvement. the new sanctions come as the white house is sending more troops to saudi arabia and to the neighboring united arab emirates. millions of people around the world marched in what is being called the largest climate protest ever. teens organized walkouts in more than 150 countries friday. many were inspired by the fridays for future campaign led by 16-year-old swedish activist greta thunberg. some say they're planning walkouts every friday until elected leaders make changes to protect the environment. this monday marks the beginning of the united nations climate summit here in new york. according to recent polling by

cbs news, 56% of americans said climate change is something that needs to be addressed now. climate change is the sole focus of a special issue by "time" magazine that is out now. this morning we are joined by justin worland, senior climate correspondent at "time." good morning. >> good morning. >> so you write an article about the political implications of climate change in iowa is specifically. obviously key in the primaries. how is this year different than other election years when it comes to climate change? >> yeah. i spent a good amount of time in iowa talking to voters, talking to people about how they've been feeling the effects of climate change right now, have been feeling the effects of extreme weather. i used line if you throw a dart at a map of iowa, you're likely to hit a place that's had flooding. you know, that leaves an impression for voters, particularly democratic voters who are -- who understand the science of climate change. >> they've been impacted more recently, so now it's more top of mind.

>> exactly. >> are certain candidates talking about it more than others? >> certainly there are some talking about it a lot. jay inslee was in the race, he devoted his entire campaign to it. but each candidates is really grappling with how they're going to speak about it. one thing i found really interesting, hearing elizabeth warren talk about climate change, she talks about it from the perspective of, you know, corporations and how do we get influence out so that we can deal with this -- this issue. and then others will talk about it, you know, areas will talk about -- kamala harris will talk about it from the perspective of suing polluters, you know, something that she brings experience from -- as a former attorney general. >> i wanted to talk about in youth movement. if you look throughout history, certainly with the civil rights movement, it was ignited by children, children. >> absolutely. >> how can this youth enthusiasm spurned by greta, the 16-year-old from sweden, push and sustain itself? >> yeah. that's a good question. i mean, i think what's really interesting to me is, one, obviously they're an inspiration

to everyone. i think for then dato-day basis, this is something that is a real bright spot when the news can often be very grim. but what i think is also importance is they send a very -- important is they send a very big signal to corporations, to government officials who might be lagging in their response, that things need to change. that future generations are not going to allow the same business as usual approach. and i think that's going to sustain itself. >> it come goes to jeff's story and the question of whether or not this generation will pay for the sustainability of this planet. >> yeah. yeah. i mean, that generation will be on the -- they will experience the things that generations past have -- >> the repercussions -- >> exactly. >> of what we've done to our climate. >> it won't be cheap is my point. >> no. >> there's the politics of it and the solution. this issue, which goes around the globe, the "time" magazine issue, talks about six things that may happen over the next 30

years or they think need to happen over the next 30 years. phase out natural gas and coal, grow renewables, chart a path on nuclear, remove carbon from the atmosphere -- which is what he talked about in the piece -- support trees and the growth of trees, andak eney use more efficient. you really went all around the world for this issue, including this concept of rewilding we see, as well. >> absolutely. i mean, one thing that i think, you know, planting trees can sound very simple or, you know, dealing with nature can sounds very simple. it's really at the heart of this. there was a paper in the journal "science" this year that found that if we planted trees in an area the size of the u.s. and china, which sounds like a lot but's an area that's ripe for trees growing, we could eliminate two-thirds of the emissions that we've -- that we've had since the industrial revolution. that's a big thing that will not happen that way, but it has a change potential. >> okay, justin worland. thank you so much for being

here. >> thank you. 40 years ago, america's pursuit of the a cleaner energy alternative turned into one of the country's most frightening moments. >> first step in a nuclear nightmare. as far as we know this hour, no worse than that. >> an accident at the three mile island nuclear reactor in 1979 caused a partial meltdown. the worst commercial nuclear power accident in u.s. history. forced tens of thousands of people to evacuate. it stunted the growth of a nuclear industry. no nuclear plant proposed in the u.s. after the accident has been successfully completed. on friday, the plant's owner eexelon corporation, shut it down officially. it had been losing money as less expensive forms of electricity have become available. it will take 60 years and at least $1 billion to fully dismantle the plant. as we just mentioned, the talk is on again to find those if there are safer alternatives in nuclear energy. well right now, it is about seven minutes after the hour.

create this -- this inviting, inclusive space. >> reporter: it's a communities center really. >> it is. it's a lot more than a book store. you know, and early on, i didn't think of it in my head as a way to save local bookstores. this was just an adventure. >> reporter: doolittle's adventure was a hit on social media. his passion and platform combined to raise the profile of not just the shops where he snapped pictures but others like them across the country. and that exposure says independent bookstore owner christine anaraty is priceless. what is it like owning a local bookstore in the year 20ear 201? >> online shopping has affected our entire world. i think that, you know, we serve a purpose in our communities that makes us a little different than a lot of other retail stores. you know, that's why somebody like sean who's shining a spotlight on books and how important they are will always be a great thing.

>> reporter: mark pearson agrees. he's co-founder and ceo of libro f.m. that allows you to downloads an audio book and splits the proceeds with a local bookstore of your choice. like this one in new jersey. one of about 800 stores affiliated with libro f.m. >> we are doubling every year. and when sean doolittle sent his tweet out, we had a record day. when he says that it's tool to buy audio books and books from your local bookstore, it sends the message that books and bookstores matter, and where you buy them makes a difference. by giving your money to them, you keep that going. you keep reading alive in the community. >> reporter: that is the real win. >> there's a lot of really kind of alarming statistics when it comes to littleracy rates and kids -- literacy rates and kids in the united states. over half of the kids in the fourth grade read below basic level. that's a crucial time for them because there's so many

indicators about where they're at in fourth grade can determine where they go in their, you know, education level down the road. >> reporter: and he says where they simply go in life. just look at him. >> it's a little surreal. this started out as something that i was doing just because it was a hobby that i enjoyed. but it's been a really rewarding experience. if you can get kids excited about reading, maybe that can open up a whole other world for them. >> i know people say athletes should stick to sports. it's a really good thing sean doolittle isn't sticking to sports. >> i love seeing him in his glasses with his jersey on opening up -- >> he gives a lot of credit to his wife who has a couple of mast master's degreesreading so much thought maybe i'll do that instead of the video games. it sort of helped him get back into books again. >> wonderful. >> yeah. >> thank you. >> thank you, sean. >> that's right. >> dr. doolittle.

>> there you go. up next on "the dish," from the greek islands to hudson yard, chef costas spiliadis has a culinary career spanning 40 years. he'll be with us on "the dish." stay tuned. they finally offered it to you -- >> they offered you a full time -- >> did you have to think about it? >> i was asked by the head of daytime television and i looked at her and said yes! >> yeah. >> i love these ladies. they are so much fun. >> call them your sisters. >> i don't have a sister, and this is kind of like the closest thing -- >> you have all those kids -- >> to have all these female opinions, i'm like, this is a smart table. no offense, guys. it's just a different thing. i grew up with men. >> how many brothers do you have? >> i have eight -- >> eight brothers. wow. >> i have eight children. i have four boys and four girls. but i don't know, it's just a different phase of life. i love the show because it's upbeat and fun.

they are all a hoot. and i love each one of them. >> there is what happened in your first -- this is what happened in your first week. you're known for sharing, you talked about having two deaf brothers, feeling responsible for your mother's car accident, you talked about going back to work after your son's funeral. you opened up in the first week. you're okay with sharing your life. >> that's one of the things you have to realize when you step up to that table. i don't believe in airing dirty laundry. i don't think that's necessary. if you can help somebody else or, you know, help them get through something, and i -- maybe it's that sisterhood thing. sharing postpartum depression. >> yes. >> i was the first female to actually -- celebrity to actually talk about it. and i don't know, i just -- i felt that there's so much shame around things when really it's just the human experience that we all go through. i don't care if you're a celebrity or if you're a make-up artist or whatever you do for a living -- we all go through this

thing called life. the juul reco. they took $12.8 billion from big tobacco. juul marketed mango, mint, and menthol flavors, addicting kids to nicotine. five million kids now using e-cigarettes. the fda said juul ignored the law with misleading health claims. now juul is pushing prop c, to overturn san francisco's e-cigarette protections. say no to juul, no to big tobacco, no to prop c.

is a very typical way of putting together a table that people can sit at. >> they are absolutely some of my favorite foods. i said when i sat down, my favorite cuisine might easily be greek foods. your backgrounds is fascinating because you came here at 19. you called it totally lost, you were a lost experience. how do you go from that to all of there? >> life. life is -- >> yeah. >> i came to actually new york in 1996 with a student visa to study at nyu. and i faced, you know, a very huge cultural shock. >> yeah. >> which for me at that time it was very difficult -- >> you got homesick. >> very much. >> big time. >> very much so. so i moved to maryland. my brother was living there, so it was a more comfortable situation to be. >> yeah.

>> and then eventually i went to montreal in canada. >> you went to local radio? >> i was founder of a community-based nonprofit local radio station in montreal. together with members of different communities, we started this community radio station. and i spent almost six years there. >> you got into the culinary world so to speak an interesting way. you and your buddies kind of got together and you just needed to eat. >> we needed to eat. and we needed to eat the way that we knew at home how to eat. >> called your mom on the phone. >> it was myy srcefknow i mean, i had no idea when i opened the restaurant in montreal in 1979, i had culinar.

all i knew was that food at home was a wonderful thing. >> good. >> i could not find at that time around me. so i decided to bring back in america and in canada the greek food as i understood it, and i experienced it at home. >> which you've been doing ever since. the attention to detail is so obvious in everything that we are tasting here. i'm going to have you sign our dish. >> a five-pound lobster. >> that's right. >> incredible to look at here. >> if you could have this meal with anyone past or present, who would it be? >> my grandchildren. >> aw. >> i have six of them, and these are the biggest thing in my life right now. >> oh. >> blessings. >> it's a blessing, yeah. >> chef, thank you so much. if you want to see more on chef costas spiliadis, you can go to our website at cbsthismorning.com. now here's a look at the
