7:03 am
♪ always for love >> do the milly rock. hit a dab. >> announcer: this morning's "eye opener" is presented by toyota. let's go places. >> i don't know if enough people can ride horses for that to take off. >> i want to know that, too. how are you making him do that? and the horse had the head bop down, too. nicely done. welcome to "cbs this morning." we're going to begin with this, this first hour. the house impeachment inquiry may be entering a new phase after a day of testimony that democrats call detailed, damning, and disturbing. the top u.s. diplomats in ukraine, that's bill taylor, laid out how president trump held up military aid for ukraine as he pushed its leaders to investigate democrats and a company linked to farmer vice president joe biden's son. >> the white house called the inquiry a coordinated smear campaign and said there was no quid pro quo on ukraine. nancy cordes is on capitol hill. nancy, what else did we learn from taylor's testimony? >> reporter: yes, we learned that there were meetings and
7:04 am
phone calls and cables where this controversial strategy was discussed and where the ukrainians were pushed to cooperate, even told what to say to make the president happy. ambassador taylor called the situation alarming and made it clear that he felt it was a quid pro quo. >> mr. taylor, what led you to be concerned about a quid pro quo? >> reporter: in nearly ten hours of testimony, ambassador bill taylor described a secret campaign to pressure ukraine, using millions in military aid as leverage. >> this is my most disturbing day in congress so far. very troubling. >> he is probably one of the most credible witnesses i've ever seen. >> reporter: taylor is a veteran civil servant who was asked to return to his post in ukraine this summer, according to his 15-page opening statement. he encountered a highly irregular u.s. policy-making effort there, led by the
7:05 am
president's personal attorney, rudy giuliani. >> this is not just rogue rudy giuliani, self-dealing in ukraine. he's an agent of the president. >> reporter: taylor said that by mid-july, it was becoming clear that a meeting the ukrainian president sought with mr. trump was conditioned on the investigation of burris isma, t energy company that employed the son of presidential candidate joe biden. taylor said he was told that everything, including millions of dollars in u.s. security assistance depended o zelensky publicly announcing an investigation related to the bidens and the 2016 election. >> the money held up had absolutely nothing to do with biden. >> reporter: taylor's testimony directly contradicted the white house line. >> there was no quid pro quo. at all. >> reporter: mr. trump isn't making it easy for allies to defend him. >> the pnt h said that you told him that his phone call with the ukrainian president was perfect and innocent. >> we have not had any conversations on that subject. >> reporter: so he was lying
7:06 am
about that? >> you'll have to ask him. >> reporter: still, mcconnell and other republicans insist the president is being denied due process. and after that ten-hour deposition wrapped up, one republican, mark meadows, came out and said he still doesn't see evidence of a quid pro quo. anthony? >> nancy, in a tweet, the president used the word lynching to describe the democrats' inquiry. what was the reaction on the hill to that? >> reporter: well, harsh condemnation from democrats who argue that the president's language minimized hate crimes against black americans while many republicans also said that they didn't feel that the language was appropriate, but there were other republicans who argued that this is hardly the first time that that word has been used in a political context. they pointed to the fact that joe biden himself used it back in 1998 when discussing the impeachment of then president bill clinton.
7:07 am
that led biden to take to twitter to say that it wasn't the right word to use and that he's sorry about that. trump, on the other hand, he argued, chose his words deliberately in his use of the word lynching, and biden said continues to stoke racial divides in this country. >> all right, nancy cordes. thank you, nancy. facebook ceo mark zuckerberg is testifying this morning on capitol hill. his hearing is supposed to be about cryptocurrency, but that is not likely to be the only line of questioning from members of congress. ed o'keefe is outside the hearing room. ed, good morning. so, what are the issues on the minds of zuckerberg, but also the committee members? >> reporter: well, good morning, tony. when zuckerberg appears here today before the house financial services committee, he's set to push lawmakers and federal regulators to take a more active role in policing harmful content online, protecting elections, and improving online security. but members of both parties are poised to push him to explain what he's doing on those issues.
7:08 am
zuckerberg's appearance here comes just days after facebook announced it will more prominently label posts that include false or partially false information. they're also launching new tools to help political candidates monitor social media accounts for potential hacking. but facebook and instagram will still allow political candidates to advertise with few restrictions. that's earned criticism, especially from democratic presidential candidates who say facebook is helping president trump spread lies about his potential opponents. zuckerberg says it shouldn't be up to tech companies to decide what you can and cannot see online. so, whether it's cryptocurrency or election interference, this is a reminder, facebook plays a big role in the lives of millions of americans and billions around the world. and gail, heylgayle, he's set t rough day in the witness chair. >> thank you. iraq's defense minister said this morning that u.s. troops pulled out of syria will leave iraq in four weeks. that seems to contradict u.s. defense secretary mark esper, who made a surprise visit to baghdad this morning. esper had previously said those u.s. forces would continue
7:09 am
operating against isis from iraq. russia and turkey made a deal yesterday without the u.s. to take control of northeastern syria and force out kurdish fighters who fought alongside u.s. troops. this morning, holly williams is in syria, where she has exclusive access to turkish forces that have crossed the border. >> reporter: just three weeks ago, kurdish-led forces allied with the u.s. were in control of this territory here in northeastern syria. now, turkey is in control. this is the turkish military, turkish soldiers. we came across the border with them this morning. it has been a tumultuous time. earlier this month, president trump ordered u.s. troops to pull back from the turkey/syria border. american forces are now withdrawing from eastern syria. following that, turkey launched an offensive into northeastern syria, targeting those kurdish forces that were partnered with the u.s. in the fight against isis, but turkey regards them as
7:10 am
a terrorist organization. last night, we saw turkey's president, recep tayyip erdogan, and russian president vladimir putin making a deal about the future of this part of syria. they agreed on a cease-fire. turkey will get a nearly 20-mile-deep safe zone along its border, and turkish soldiers will carry out joint patrols with russian troops. we've already seen russian troops moving into areas that were controlled by kurdish all of this is a powerful illustration of how the u.s. is ceding influence here in the middle east to russia. now, those kurdish-led forces say that they are still holding around 12,000 accused isis fighters, including 4,500 foreigners. and one big question going forward is who will take control of those prisons? who will stop a mass prison break? who will prevent isis reforming its army of militants? >> thank you, holly. an investigation is under way right now in britain after
7:11 am
more than three dozen bodies were found in a semi truck. the discovery was made early this morning in an industrial park in the county of essex, east of london. police say the victims include 38 adults and 1 teenager. a 25-year-old man from northern ireland who was driving the truck was arrested on suspicion of murder. ay ty believe the truck came from bulgaria. there's no word yet on the identities of the victims or how they died. 11 parents, including actress lori loughlin, face new federal bribery charges in the school admissions scandal. loflin's husband, mossimo giannulli, is also facing the charges. prosecutors say the couple paid $500,000 to guarantee their daughters' admission into the university of southern california. the new counts are on top of conspiracy charges brought against loughlin and giannulli earlier this year. both have pleaded not guilty. prosecutors are putting pressure on everyone who's charged to
7:12 am
plead guilty. boeing today announced big financial losses after the grounding of its 737 max fleet lasted much longer than people expected. the aircraft had been grounded worldwide since mid-march following two deadly crashes that killed 346 people. yesterday, the president and ceo of boeing's commercial airline division was replaced. kris van cleave is at reagan airport outside washington with more on this story. kris, good morning to you. what can we expect today? >> reporter: good morning. boeing executives will be addressing a 53% drop in quarterly profit, a drop in revenue of about $5 billion, all of this because of the prolonged grounding of the 737 max. one executive who won't be on the call is kevin mcallister. he's out as president and ceo of boeing's commercial airplane division. he faced increasing internal scrutiny for what many saw as his poor handling of customer relationships and his management of boeing's most important division during the 737 max
7:13 am
coercial planes are more than 60% of boeing's total revenue. the move to oust him comes just days after a series of messages between two boeing test pilots from 2016 were made public, indicating interest may have -- there may have been problems with the max's automated flight control systems nearly two years before the crash. one pilot wrote "it's running rampant on the s.i.m." on me, and basically that he lied to regulators knowingly. dennis muilenburg was stripped of his chairman of the board title, he remains in control of day-to-day operations and is set to testify on the hill next week. you can bet there will be tough questions waiting for him. >> we'll be watching, kris. thank you very much. a teenager is in custody after a shooting outside a california school. it happened near ridgway high school. that's just north of san francisco. police say gunfire erupted yesterday morning after two students got into a verbal argument on the sidewalk. a 16-year-old was shot twice in the upper body and police later

found and arrested the suspect in a classroom. the victim is expected to be okay. a motive has not been released. the houston astros lost game one of the world series against the washington nationals last night, but this morning it's drama off the field that's making headlines. major league baseball is investigating expletive-filled comments the astros' assistant general manager made to a group of female reporters. "cbs this morning saturday's" co-host dana jacobson is here. dana, this is putting a cloud over the series. >> anthony, at the very least, you could say that the astros are in damage control mode. the comments you mentioned happened in houston's clubhouse after they clinched the american league pennant over the weekend. assistant gm brandon taubman is accused of turning to three female reporters, then launching into a gratuitous celebration of a controversial player who the astros had initially been criticized for acquiring after he'd been accused of domestic violence. >> the world series -- >> yeah! >> reporter: this was the
7:15 am
setting in which brandon taubman's explosive comments took place. "sports illustrated" reporter epapstein wrote that taubman turned to three female reporters, one of whom was we domtic violence bracelet, and yelled "thank god we got osuna! i'm so expletive glad we got osuna!" he was referring to pitcher roberto osuna, picked up by the astros after he was arrested on domestic violence charges in 2018 for allegedly assaulting the mother of his young child. charges against osuna were later dropped, but he was found to have violated major league baseball's domestic violence policy and served a 75-game suspension. >> my name is brandon taubman -- >> reporter: the astros initially said the report was misleading and irresponsible. but other reporters backed up apstein's account. with pressure mounting yesterday, taubman issued an apology. "i used inappropriate language for which i am deepl sorry and embarrassed. and i am sorry if anyone was
7:16 am
offended by my actions." astros owner and chairman jim crane also released a statement saying the team is "committed to using our voice to create awareness and support on the issue of domestic violence." astros manager a.j. hinch, who did not witness the incident, said what happened w uncalled for. >> no one -- i don't -- it doesn't matter if it's a player, a coach, a manager, any of you members of the media -- should ever feel like when you come into our clubhouse that you're going to be uncomfortable or disrespected. >> reporter: it is worth noting, the reporters did not ask any questions about osuna, who pitched poorly in the game prior to that and also that osuna has denied any of those domestic violence allegations. major league baseball issued a statement after taubman's apology condemning any action that would minimize the seriousness of domestic violence and said it would interview those involved in this incident. a lot of questions still. >> a big part of this seems to be that the astros suggested this didn't happen.
7:17 am
>> yes. >> and had not explained now at this point why they said that initially. they called the report fabricated story by this t was "sports illustrated" reporter. >> yeah, they were standing by their executive, but now even the executive is saying i used strong language. he's kind of walking up to the line of a full apology. i think a lot of people would like to see that full apology. >> no doubt. >> dana, thank you very much. >> thank you. some psychiatrists are now recommending a different approach to treating depression. ahead, one woman tells us how the medical advancement changed her life. plus, why the treatment may not work for ev >> good wednesday morning, we will heat up going to the afternoon with plenty of sunshine and above average temperatures, upper 80s in concord, fairfield and livermore, close to 80 at san francisco, we have extreme fire danger with a red flag warning in effect this afternoon through tomorrow afternoon and we will heat up even more thursday and friday.

first-degree murder charges in the 2017 death of her 17-year-old daughter. kelly turner, who went by kelly gant, is charged with 13 criminal counts that also include child abuse and fraud. we're now learning she may have faked her child's alleged terminal illness to gain attention and favors from groups like make-a-wish. barry petersen is just outside denver in castle rock, colorado. he's at the douglas county courthouse where turner is set to appear next month. barry what exactly is she accused of doing? >> reporter: good morning. kelly turner is also accused of stealing $500,000 from medicaid and a gofundme campaign. now, the official cause of olivia's death has not been reported, but investigators now believe it was the mother's sinister actions, not terminal illness. >> another princess is in trouble. it's belle. >> reporter: in the months before olivia gant's death, her colorado community rallied around her and her mother, kelly

7:43 am
i will be on the phone so fast. i will never give up again. and i have so much hope. >> reporter: the device is fda cleared, but some experts say there is not enough research on who this will help and its long-term effectiveness. they say deep tms is not for everyone, and that people experiencing depression should work with their health care provider to find the solution that's best for them, ty. >> not for everyone, but hope is the word. if this helps some people, it's a good thing. >> just think if you tried five different treatments and you think you're being robbed of your joy and think this works, i can see why she would want to do it again. >> it's like anything in that position. vladimir duthiers is looking at the stories you'll be talking about today. >> we've got shocking video of a home roof collapse. find out what caused it to come crashing down and what happened to the folks inside. and a don ther

flashes. >> duly noted. >> but let's not miss your point. is there anything miana that somebody cou have said to you that would have made a difference when you were in the dark place? >> i would definitely say the biggest thing that somebody said to me and i would say anything to now that may be in the dark place, is to keep breathing and to coat my favorite movie, "finding nemo" just keep swimming, just keep swimming. keep your head up and try the best that you can no matter what's going on. >> winnie the pooh and finding nemo having big roles. >> you said we were talking yesterday, most people who have attempted suicide who survive regret that they tried it. they regret that they tried it. >> many people who said during an impulsive moment of desperation, they wish they had ended it all and upon reflection, they know they can get help. >> it can and does get better. thank you both. >> ahead, lady gaga's mother will join us with her daughter's

in your head with you. i love you, thank you so much to the grammys. thank you. >> that's lady gaga, addressing the importance of reaching out for help at the the grammy awards. the superstar has spoken openly about dealing with mental illness. >> her mother, who looks just like her, rather gaga looks like her mom joins us to talk about the impact of mental illness on family and friends. she teamed up with her daughter who she calls stephanie, that's her name. to create the "born this way" foundation it works to educate people about mental and emotional wellness. cynthia, thank you for joining us. >> i'm so inspired by you talking about this. >> thank you. you always said you knew stephanie was unique. >> we all have mental health. i believe that we as both individuals and society, we
8:42 am
don't treat it the same way that we treat physical health so certainly when it happened in our house, i didn't know what to look for. as a parent i wasn't prepared. to really address this. stephanie was very unique. that wasn't always appreciated by her peers. as a result she went through lot of difficult times, humiliated, taunted, isolated. when you're a young woman this severely impacts you. it was in middle school when i saw the turn happen. when she went from a very happy and aspirational young girl, to somebody that started to question her self-worth. to have doubts about herself. that's when we actually saw the turn. what i didn't realize, because i wasn't prepared, is how to really deal with it when i was growing up, times were different. the way that we would deal with things is what i learned. that's what i resorted to. i relied on -- >> get a grip. >> i relied on getting a grip. i relied on the generational
8:43 am
grit of just sucking it up and getting on with it. >> even if you do learn to listen. sometimes it's very hard. i've been in that situation, of knowing what to do. >> it's very hard to know what to do. and the impact on families, what i didn't realize is the profound impact that it can have. it basically terms the focus of everything on to that one individual. and families feel conflicted about it they don't really understand it. it causes conflict. and a lot of stress within the families. it can also cause feelings for me personally. the guilt, helplessness, not knowing how to help my daughter. what i learned is that no family is immune from this and we should all really learn where we would go, who we would turn to if something like this happened in our families. >> now that you've been through it, you've come out the other side. what advice or recommendation do you have for people who may have a family member going through this very thing. >> one of the most difficult things for me, as a parent was
8:44 am
understanding what was normal and what was not normal. when you look at young children in particular. what is normal adolescent development and then a real issue. that for me was not knowing how to distinguish between certain both emotional and behavioral changes, there's very noticeable changes that happen. feelings of sadness, feelings of selfless and worthless, in terms of behavior, you might be more angry. crying, turning to subance abuse. >> what do you recommend? >> what's the most important thing that a parent can do? >> the most important thing they can do is listen and understand. what i learned from my daughter is to listen and validate her feelings. i think as parents our natural instinct is to go into problem-solving mode. when in fact they really just want us to take them seriously. and understand what they're saying. >> and sometimes they don't often want to talk to their parents or talk to their peers,
8:45 am
it's important for them to find somebody they can talk to. >> we learned from our research that young people often don't turn to their parents, because they feel -- >> we get on their nerves. >> there's fear of being judged. also we as parents, we don't talk about our own struggles. i encourage parents to be vulnerable. talk about your current or past struggles. so it really models healthy conversations and good behavior. so the biggest thing is to really talk to them. and it's certainly okay to not be okay. and start to have these conversations. >> cynthia germanotta thank you so much for coming. ahead we talk to our panel of medical experts about finding the right help for you or your loved one. remember if you or someone you know is ever experiencing a crisis, can you call 911. you can call 911. you are watching a special edition of "cbs this morning." we'll be right back.
8:49 am
welcome back to our "cbs this morning" special. mental health is orders are treatable, but last year nearly 57% of those who needed treatment did not get it. >> we welcome back psychiatrist dr. ken duckworth and dr. sue varma along with our chief medical correspondent dr. jon lapook. good morning. >> good morning, jon lapook. >> you're a primary care physician. >> yeah. >> you say primary care doctors should be the first line of defense in mental health. >> yeah. and i think part of it is realizing that assessing for mental health problems, that's in our lane. just as assessing for high blood pressure or high cholesterol, anything else is in our lane. that means talking to people about their moods, but their possible mental health problems. also looking for clues. so ken mentioned any problems with sleep, is a person complaining of feeling jittery or maybe just a little bit
8:50 am
tired? and then the things that are more subtle. so body language. and what's really important in assessing body language is actually looking at the patient. >> yeah. >> turn away from the computer. look at the person, look them in the eye, and they'll feel safe. people the to feel seen. >> and validated. >> we know talk therapy is so vital. but dr. varm amedication is also out there, it's also an option, what should people know about the path? >> medication is such an important part and can be an extremely effective tool as part of a comprehensive treatment plan. we need to have realistic expectations. medication takes time to work. if we're talking about an ant e anti-depressan anti-depressants, it can take six to eight weeks. there are side effects, most of those dissipate. have a scheduled followup appointment if it is your primary care doctor treating you to specifically discuss this. a lot of times people get lost to follow up. they get off their medication because of the side effects. and also recognize that
8:51 am
medication isn't going to solve all your problems. if this issue is due to a loss, depression due to a family member getting lost or death, that we need to grieve those losses and not throw medication at the person. >> stuart in the audience has lived with anxiety for more than four decades and recently with depression. you have a question. >> thank you. my question is around -- my family knew i was depressed. but they didn't know how severe it had become. if somebody isn't forthcoming to a psychiatrist or to their family, how can you help them? >> stuart, that's a great question because shame is a core human emotion. if you're not feeling at your best, functioning at your best, there's a natural reticence to not share a vulnerability. one strategy is if you happen to have a family history of mental health, have that discussion before somebody develops a problem. >> yeah. >> that's one idea.
8:52 am
the other idea is just to notice the person and say, you know, is there anything that you want to chat with me about, i noticed that you are depressed. i may not have a full understanding of what you're going through, but i'm open to listening to you. >> very quickly. when do you know when to go to a therapist? when -- >> when your functioning or safety is in the -- is in the -- >> jeopardy? >> i think it's important to tell people that they can call their insurance company. they have an obligation to help you find a therapist. it's earmark important. you can -- it's really important. you can get assistance in paying for all this. >> the best-kept secret is your health plan wants to help you find a therapist if you can't find one. a secret no more. your primary care doctor is another route. they often are connected. >> there's a number on the back of your insurance card. thank you so much, dr. sue varma, ken duckworth, and of course jon lapook felt we'll see you at home later on. thank you so much. if you're experiencing a mental health crisis, help is
