let me get out of the way so you can see a little bit of this damage. this home right here doesn't have a roof anymore, and parts are spread out all over this neighborhood. in fact, when we were walking to this area, we saw just about every home on this block had some significant damage. people will start cleaning up obviously when the sun comes up. officials are telling us after seeing all of this damage, they're surprised that no one here in dallas was killed. lightning illuminated the tornado in the night sky as iter to tore its way across dallas. >> a tornado! >> reporter: this man was on his z balcony as the twist ripped through the suburb of richardson. he told us he was hit as his roof came flying off. >> oh -- guys, let's go. that's it. just took out the power everywhere. >> reporter: the storm knocked out power across dallas county. at one point affecting more than 100,000 people. >> it started shaking. felt kind of like an earthquake.

7:06 am
so how everyone doing this morning? >> reporter: everyone in our area is fine, like thousands of other families. we heard the tornado sirens that were going off. you're trained to grab a pillow or a mattress or heavy blanket, you go to the center closet and pile it on you. my wife, the hound, and the 3-year-old daughter were all safe. this neighborhood was hit pretty hard. no predent george w. bush and his wife laura. they are fine, they're more concerned with their neighbors and hope everybody's doing okay. >> take shelter and call cbs news for your assignment. >> the wife, the hound, and the daughter. that's good. >> thank you so much. that same system hammered five states overnight causing at least one death in arkansas. and this morning, more than 16 million americans in the south are under a severe weather threat. cbs news climate and weather contributor, that's jeff , is h. what's the biggest concern now? >> the biggest concern is it's moving east, and it's going to
7:07 am
affect louisiana, tennessee, places like mississippi, as well. looking now at last night's setup, you can see that the storm passed on the north side of dallas. it was a strong, rotating thunderstorm. it was on the ground for about 30 minutes. that is, you know, really scary stuff. and we're likely seeing it either via an ef2 or maybe an ef3 tornado. this is the threat right now. severe thunderstorm watches out for northern parts of louisiana. western parts of mississippi, as well. the biggest threat today, places like jackson, alexandria, louisiana, located right there, up to around memphis, tennessee. so watch out in this area. tornadoes still possible. especially the first half of the day. the threat will lessen a little toward the end of the day. that's a look at future radar. you see it moving through mississippi. through alabama, and as we head into the overnight, through georgia, there. big dip in the jet stream. at tface aaalassic

7:09 am
objects at this american convoy. their departure is a betrayal according to the kurdish fighters who battled with u.s. forces against isis. they were america's closest partners on the ground in syria. we witnessed them beating back the militants and laying down their lives. they came under attack from turkey this month after president trump effectively opened the door to a turkish offensive, announcing that u.s. forces would pull back from the border. turkey views the kurdish-evidence group as a terrorist organization. it's difficult to believe that
7:10 am
u.s. base in syria where the senior special forces commander in the campaign against isis described the close relationship between american troops and kurdish fighters. are you seeing an isis insurgency here? >> we see the beginnings of one. and that's where we are -- we're working very hard with our partner here to stay after this them abd not allow that to happen. >> reporter: now the kurdish forces say they've stopped fighting isis. syrian regime troops have moved into parts of their territory, and 200,000 civilians have reportedly fled the clashes with turkey. vice president mike pence negotiated a cease-fire with turkish president recep tayyip erdogan last week, but it runs out tomorrow. the other impact of the u.s. withdrawal is to hand even greater influence to russia. turkey's president erdogan will meet with the russian president vladimir putin tomorrow. the future of eastern syria could be decided at that meeting at which the united states will play no part. gayle? >> all right. holly williams reporting from
7:11 am
we thank you. military investigators are trying to find out what caused an armored vehicle to roll into water in georgia killing three soldiers during a training exercise at ft. stewart. three other soldiers were hurt in this accident. david martin is at the pentagon with more on this story. david, here's a question -- what else do we know about exactly what happened here? >> reporter: well, we know this was a planned exercise that took place at 3:00 a.m. sunday morning. so while the rest of us were sleeping, troops from the third infantry division were out training in the dark when a vehicle carrying six soldiers rolled into the water. three soldiers were killed when their bradley infantry fighting vehicle like the one shown here rolled over. whether they drowned or died from the force of the impact is not know the other three soldiers in the vehicle were hospitalized. >> two of them released.
7:12 am
one has been transferred to memorial medical center in savannah, and is expected to make a recovery. >> reporter: maneuvering a 25-ton armored vehicle in the dark comes with obvious risks, even if it was just training. congressman buddy carter's district includes ft. stewart. >> it's a somber reminder of -- just how dangerous our soldiers are, not only in combat but the danger they're put in in training, as well. >> reporter: in fact, accidents of all kind are the single biggest killer of american troops. according to a 2019 congressional report, between 2006 and 2018 almost twice as many activetude members were killed -- active duty members were killed in accidents as killed in action. so far rollover accidents have killed two other army soldiers this year. in june, christopher morgan died in a rollover which injured 19 othedein jua, list octavius lakes jr. was killed when the bradley he was riding in rolled over during training at ft. irwin, california. every accident is investigated with an effort to prevent them from happening again. but the danger of military service can never be entirely removed.

either on the battlefield or at home base. tony? >> well said. david martin at the pentagon. thank you so much. the acting white house chief of staff said president trump didn't expect so much opposition to his plan to host next year's g7 summit at his florida resort. the president now says he will not host the gathering of world leaders at his doral resort in south florida. acting chief of staff mick mulvaney faces his own pushback for acknowledging the president held up military aid to pressure ukraine to investigate democrats. paula reid is at the white house. are there signs that mulvaney, who is acting chief of staff, might lose his job entirely? >> reporter: tony, a former news the kniveou mulvaney. at his press conference last week, he drew criticism from
7:14 am
both sides of the aisle. so far no sign that the president is unhappy, and the trump campaign has embraced mulvaney's messaging, even selling a t-shirt with his infilm us on quote, "get over it." >> i think i'm doing a good job. i think the president agrees. >> reporter: acting chief of staff mick mulvaney insisted sunday he is not stepping down. >> absolutely, positively not. >> reporter: in an administration known for upheaval, mulvaney's role seems less certain an an explosive press conference last thursday. >> get over it. there's going to be political influence in foreign policy. >> reporter: mulvaney undermined the president's impeachment defense by confirming a quid pro quo and why aid to ukraine was held up. >> three issues for that. the corruption in the country. whether or not other countries were participating in the support of the ukraine. and whether or not they were cooperating in an ongoing investigation with our department of justice. >> i'll leave it to the chief of staff to explain what it is he said and what he intended. >> reporr: mulvanerecanted atem performance exemplified house the white house has failed to
7:15 am
offer a coherent defense against the impeachment inquestion-and-answery -- the impeachment inquiry. >> if you held up the money for three reasons, that's a quid pro quo. >> i'm not acknowledging -- >> you said three reasons. >> i recognize that. go back to what actually happened in the real world. >> reporter: mulvaney's name has also emerged in the impeachment inquiry itself. a former presidential adviser testified that mulvaney worked with the president's personal attorney, rudy giuliani on, a rogue operation involving ukraine. mulvaney's quid question on pro-isn't the only thing the white house had to defend, he also spoke about the g7 summit at his hotel in florida. >> there creates more controversy that frankly we don't need right now. >> reporter: mr. trump was not expecting republicans to criticize the decision, and in a rare move he reversed course on saturday night. the president will need all the allies he can get as democrats ramp up their coordinated messaging strategy. today house democrats are releasing a fact sheet and video containing the most damaging evidence they've gathered so far in their impeachment inquiry.
7:16 am
gayle? >> boy, unless you're cutting a nice, juicy steak, never good to hear the knives are out when they're talking about your job. thank you so much. we'll talk to you later on. senator bernie sanders is getting a major boost to his presidential campaign after his heart attack nearly three weeks ago. the prominent left-wing congresswoman, alexandria ocasio-cortez, endorsed him in p at a weekend rally in new york city. that's the largest rally for any democratic candidate so far. cbs news' nikole killion spoke with them in their first joint network interview right after. announcement. ocasio-cortez spoke about her endorsement and sanders addressed his health problems. >> reporter: what do you say to people who look at the heart attack look at the fact that you're the oldest in the race, and wonder if you have the stamina for four years in office? >> what i say is you look at
7:17 am
the totality of a candidate. this is based on 30 or 40 years of fighting for the work force of this family. that's my record. >> reporter: congress, i know when the senator was in the hospital in nevada you called him. >> i did. yeah. >> reporter: is that when you offered your endorsement? >> yes. >> reporter: why in that moment? >> i think it was a gut check for me. you know, it was a real gut check, and it's saying -- and by y, neither me th setor cannel[ rs >> reporter: as a woman of color, why back an old white guy? and is this the future of the party? >> i'm actually very excited about this partnership because it shows what we have to do in our country is that we have to come together across race, across gender, across generation. >> reporter: did you meet with other candidates before making your decision? >> i did. yes. >> reporter: senator warren? >> yes. >> reporter: what was that conversation like?
7:18 am
>> you know, i think she's a fabulous candidate. senator warren, and myself are the same team in the party. >> reporter: if you are the nominee, would you consider the congresswoman as your running mate? >> well -- >> i think i'm too young for that. >> there you go. she's answered it. >> reporter: would you work in a sanders administration, a sanders white house? >> yes, you would. >> well, i know -- i guess i know you'll ask. >> all right, nikole killion. the question that will stick with me -- >> yes -- >> as a woman of color -- >> let me guess. >> why endorse an old white guy. she said with a straight face and they answered the question. warren said she is a fan of the congresswoman and eventually they will all be on the same side. one of the other members of the squad is ilhan omar who's endorsed bernie sanders. two cranes at the site of ap in new orleans werow by

newly released surveillance video shows the moment, take a look at this closely when a high school coach took a shotgun away from a student at parkrose high school in portland, oregon. that was five months ago. his next move is even more stunning after disarming him the coach in the baseball cap gave the student a hug, a very long hug. the community is praising the coach's quick thinking and compassion. "cbs this morning" lead national correspondent david begnaud is with us with more on the story.
8:12 am
david, this story could have ended very, very badly. >> really powerful video. good morning. by all accounts the student was having a mental health crisis. the coach, keanon l w alswos ase campus had been alerted that the student had made suicidal statements. so when the studentelly ly. >> in a fraction of a second i analyzed everything really fashion. i saw the look in his face, looked at the gun, i realized it was a real gun and then my instincts just took over. >> reporter: those instincts get the gun away from the student fast but after coach keanon lowe handed the gun off he did something unexpected. he put his arms around angel granados-diaz and just held him. telling him that it was going to be okay. >> he broke down and i just wanted to let him know that i was there for him. >> reporter: just minutes earlier surveillance cameras captured coach lowe headed to the classroom to get the 18-year-old. >> i walk in there, i get to the classroom. i ask the teacher is the student
8:13 am
here? >> reporter: he was not but moments later he would be with a loaded gun. >> the door opens shotgun. i lunged for the gun, put two hands on the gun and he had his two hands on theg out the classroom and screaming. >> reporter: police were called and the campus was put on lockdown. >> we all hid. we hid like under clothes and stuff too just in case anything would happen. >> reporter: what did happen was that coach lowe showed compassion for a young man who would later tell police he planned to complete suicide. >> i told him i was there to save him. i was there for a reason. >> reporter: this month granados-diaz pleaded guilty to gun possession charges. in a deal with prosecutors that will spare him jail time. >> a lot of times especially when you're young, you don't realize what you're doing until it's over. >> that's a powerful moment. in a statement from his attorney he thanks coach lowe for what he did that day and wants to move forward in his life in the best way possible. the suspect who is 19 years old
8:14 am
was sentenced to three years probation and will receive mental health treatment. >> it is powerful. you could see in the beginning almost like he tried to push the coach away but the coach wouldn't let him go then he returned the hug and fell into his arms at one point like -- >> he did like hold me. >> extraordinary presence of mind from that coach. thank you. newt gingrich was a key figure in the republican effort to impeach president clinton more than 20rs in ouroyota green room to talk about the current impeachment inquiry and how he would advise president trump. you're watching "cbs this morning." i get it all the time.

8:19 am
the whole doral thing by checking with five or ten people and the reaction would have been so negative the president would have said, okay, that's not doable. >> there were reports he was told he probably shouldn't do that and did it anyway. >> are you surprised, mr. speaker, that when he finally announces over the weekend that he's pulling out, he blame, you know, crazed democrats, fake media, fake news anger as opposed to saying, you know what, i was wrong, i made a mistake. it seems very hard for him to apologize. does that ever get to you. >> he never apologizes. >> does that ever get to you? >> a technique he learned dealing with page 6 in the 1980s, he is on offense and if you hit him, he immediately counterattacks. i mean this is trump.trump i trump. >> yaid last year that the president needs a chief of staff who can help him win in 2020. is his acting chief of staff mick mulvaney fit for the job. >> i think mick could do a good
8:20 am
job. i think brad parscale and two people capable at the rnc and campaign who can win and who will win in my judgment. i think trump will almost certainly get re-elected. >> the knives are already out at the white house for mick mulvaney. i'm starting to hear the word embattled to me which means a matter of time. how can a person work under those circumstances. >> h.r. mcmaster called me, a close friend of mine and had been offered chance at national security adviser. i said just remember all white houses are snake pits. learn to like snakes if you go in. >> let's talk about impeachment. you led the effort against president clinton in the '90s. as president trump faces his own impeachment challenges, what>> r

8:22 am
the fastest way for president clinton to get through impeachment was to instruct his staff to cooperate totally. that's not this white house's strategy. >> right. >> would you argue they're making a mistake. >> first of all two things are radically different. we had a report from ken starr, the independent counsel that uses the word guilty 11 times and when the report came out from robert mueller, i said if mueller sa o three times trump would be in enormous trouble. he never uses the word guilty so pelosi is off and -- we went to peter rodino and said what are the rules you used? howid you u them? largely led bm rogen, a congressman at the time and we were so bipartisan that dick gephardt, the democratic leader and i held a joint press conference to announce how we're going to go forward. now, if this white house was faced with any kind of decent,
8:23 am
honest fair dealing and pompeo, secretary pompeo pointed out yesterday he's got people on his staff testifying in secret. he doesn't have a lawyer in the room. he doesn't know what they're saying. i mean this is a total kangaroo trial and a violation of everything in terms of the american system. >> should we talk about trump versus china. >> that would be nice. >> newt gingrich says if the u.s. doesn't wake up and realize china is not a friendly neighbor it may be too late. what are we not getting. >> this is a totalitarian dictatorship. it has 96 million members. he is the chairman of the military commission which supervises the people's liberation army which is the chinese communist party's army. not the government. and, third, he's president of china. so he approaches everything every day from the standpoint of maximizes the power of the chinese communist party and maximized china's place in the
