rare look at a program to save snow leopards threatened by poachers and climate change. it's thursday, october 24th, 2019. here's today's "eye opener," your world in 90 seconds. this has been a disgraceful process. this is a soviet-style process. >> republicans storm an impeachment hearing. >> our republican colleagues have freaked out. >> it's a pathetic stunt. >> honestly it looked like a mob scene. president trump is taking credit for a permanent cease-fire in syria. >> this was an outcome created by us, the united states, and nobody else. >> reporter: in northern california, hundreds. thousands of pg&e customers are once again without power to prevent wildfires. >> with our power goes out, we're losing school, we're losing work. a new video shows the moment
7:02 am
a fresno police officer shot and killed an unarmed teenager. >> this was clearly wrong. and all that matters -- >> has written a book. >> they give away their identity when they request 12 weeks off for not a book tour. on "cbs this morning." >> taylor hits one in the air to left. back at the wall. it is gone! >> the houston astros may be down two games, but houston native simone biles gave fans something to flip over with this first pitch. >> whoa! >> simone biles the olympic champ. >> sticks the landing. takes the ball. makes the toss.
7:03 am
she is just showing off there. >> yes, she is. [ cheers ] >> boy, if i could do that, i'd show off, too. she's standing still and wearing jeans. >> on wet grass probably. we're back in our regular breaking news from northern california where a dangerous wildfire forced hundreds to flee their homes overnight. video shows the fire burning out of control in sonoma county. that's north of san francisco. and that's the heart of california's world-famous wine country. heavy winds are driving the fast-moving fire.
7:04 am
california. how are the conditions there now? >> reporter: good morning to you. we are here on the front line of what has become an increasingly desperate effort by firefighters to push back on this blaze. the wind gusts here picking up at times to 76 miles per hour. we have watched over the past few hours as this hillside has become engulfed in flames. in fact, we were in an area higher up on the hill where the flames ripped around the corner so fast, we had to evacuate. the smoke so thick, we couldn't escape it in our car. we're being told helicopters which were used initially to douse water on these flames were grounded because of turbulence. this is being fought the old-fashioned way, on the ground with bulldozers scraping over some of the dry vegetation and water hoses aimed at the flames. 0% containment at this point. this is a rural area, but still hundreds of homes we are told are in harm's way. overnight, people were evacuated as a precaution. and the fire chief saying that we're here in wine valley, this
7:05 am
is a dangerous area for in fire to happen. right now some of those vineyards are in harm's way. we're told that the precautions here taken to cut the power happened yesterday by pg&e. it's unclear at this point if the power was cut in this area when this fire started. southern california also in harm's way. wind gusts expected to pick up there with the santa ana winds. we're told hundreds of thousands of people could be in the dark as a precaution. >> all right. thank you. cbs news climate and weather contributor jeff berardelli is here. how did the fire grow so fast? >> the winds are very strong especially on the ridge tops and the foothills. that's where the wind tends to be the strongest. you see the wind is coming from the intermountain west. it's already very dry wind. and it's blowing across the tops of these mountains. as it does so, it comes down the mountains and action assembly rates downward. that causes the winds to be strong. it also heats it up because it compresses that air, and it dries it out. we have kind of a one-two punch. strong winds, dry conditions
7:06 am
across california. red flag warnings in effect north and south. and look at that -- a high wind barng in effect for -- warning in effect for los angeles. wind gusts up to 55, 65 miles congress seem to be listening. dozens of members delayed a hearing yesterday storming into a high-security room where another official was due to answer questions about the white house lobbying effort in ukraine. democrats called it a stunt to deflect attention from earlier
7:07 am
damaging testimony by a top u.s. diplomat. the president lashed out again at republican critics calling so-called never trumpers, quote, human scum, end quote. nancy cordes is on capitol hill where the drama was unfolding yesterday. good morning. what were those republicans looking for? >> reporter: tony, they want the transcripts of these depositions to be made public so they can read them. they want future depositions to be held out in the open. democrats say that's not how investigations work here on from the american people that they won't allow voting members of congress to hear what's going on in that room?
7:08 am
>> reporter: cooper was the ninth person to be interviewed behind closed doors as part of the impeachment inquiry. >> i cannot access witnesses. i cannot even read their testimony. >> if a government can do this to the president of the united states, they can do it to you it, as well. >> reporter: democrats scoffed. >> i'm not really sure. i guess when you're desperate, you go back to complaining about the process. >> reporter: about a quarter of all house republicans sit on the three committees currently involved in the impeachment inquiry. several of them joined in the protest. >> members have had it. >> reporter: even though they're already allowed to attend the depositions and ask questions. >> it's a pathetic stunt. >> reporter: democrats acuse the gop rebels of a blatant breach of security for taking their phones into a secure room. >> our republican colleagues evidently have freaked out because they have nothing sbarve to say about that. >> we believe there needs to be
7:09 am
transparent and open. >> reporter: when she finally was able to testify, cooper backed up what others have said about the unusual nature of the holdup in aid to ukraine. democrats contend that closed door hearings are necessary for investigations and cited both the clinton and nixon impeachment proceedings which included closed door interviews. >> investigations are not public. when an investigation is done, there will be public hearings. that's how it's always been done. >> reporter: if the house does vote to impeach, this will all head to a trial in the senate. after ambassador bill taylor's testimony, the number-two republican there had this to say -- >> the picture coming out of it based on the reporting that we've seen is, yeah, i would say it's not a good one. >> reporter: a very candid assessment from a top republican, john thune, though he, too, complained about the
7:10 am
process and said that without full transparency, it's very difficult for anyone to get the full picture. tony? >> and nancy, we're now learning that ukraine's president held a meeting with advisers before he was sworn in. and this was apparently to discuss how to deal with requests from the president's personal attorney rudy giuliani. why might this important, and what else do we know? >> reporter: it's important because this meeting took place two months before that now-infamous phone call between president trump and president zelensky where president trump asked him pointblank in july to inestigate vice president joe biden and his son. zelensky met with his top advisers to discuss how to deal with the pressure that they were getting from giuliani and others to dig up political dirt. the ukrainians wanted to avoid
7:11 am
getting caught up in a u.s. election. this meeting reportedly lasted almost three hours. and according to the a.p., zelensky cited a congratulate tori phone call with president trump ads the source of his unease. the contents still have not been released. >> nancy cordes -- capitol hill. thank you. a russian news agency says that kurdish forces have started leaving northern syria with russian troops moving to enforce a cease-fire along the turkish border. president trump has lifted sanctions against turkey as a reward for making a deal to help russia. ul story. paula, good morning to you. does this mean the u.s. is getting all the way out? >> reporter: well, good morning, gayle. the president confirmed that a small number of troops will remain in syria to protect key oil fields from isis. a u.s. official tells cbs news that plan will involve at least 200 troops. but with a small presence, the u.s. is effectively
7:12 am
relinquishing influence in the region, and it appears russia will now be calling the shots. >> this was an outcome created by us, the united states, and nobody else. >> reporter: the u.s. was not at the negotiating table when russia and turkey struck a deal to end fighting in northern syria. >> let someone else fight over this long blood-stained sand. >> reporter: and while the president framed his announcement as a triumph in his effort to press other nations o take responsibility for foreign conflicts, he failed to mention that russia and turkey will jointly police a border zone in northern syria and push out kurdish forces who had been working alongside the u.s. in the fight against isis. >> other countries have stepped forward. they want to help. and we think that's great. >> reporter: the president appears willing to cede influence in the region to florida saying that the fight against isis now falls on others. >> you cannot rely on syria, russia, or turkey to protect the united states against isis. >> reporter: the white house is trying to downplay how many of the 10,000 isis prisoners may have escaped. >> there were a few that got
7:13 am
out. a small number, relatively speaking. they've been largely recaptured. >> reporter: but that's not what the president's special envoy for syria, james jeffrey, said on wednesday. >> we would say the number is now over 100. we do not know where they r. >> reporter: for now the fighting has stopped, but the turkish offensive which was unleashed after the u.s. withdrew this month cost hundreds of lives and forced hundreds of thousands of civilians to flee the fighting. anthony? >> thank you. facebook is dealing with a growing threat from some members of congress who say they want to break up the company. ceo mark zuckerberg testified at a house committee hearing in washington yesterday. democrats hit him with a barrage of criticism on election security and other topics. ed o'keefe is on capitol hill. what brought zuckerberg to congress this time? >> reporter: good morning. he was officially here to talk about his new ideas for cryptocurrency. lawmakers spent more time asking about other subjects including civil rights and political advertising on facebook ahead of
7:14 am
the 2020 elections. >> we faced a lot of issues over the past few years. >> reporter: officially called to testify about his ideas for a w cryptocurrency, lawmakers pressed mark zuckerberg on a variety of topics like concerns about diversity at facebook -- >> you have ruined the lives of many people, discriminated against them. >> reporter: and whether the company is doing enough to root out sex traffickers. >> we're working with law enforcement in building technical systems to identify harm -- >> you're not working hard enough, sir. >> reporter: it was facebook's plan to continue running ads from political candidates even if they're misleading that earned special interest. >> it seems that a policy that allows politicians to lie, mislead, and deceive would also allow facebook to sell more ads to those politicians, thus making your company more money. >> the very small percent of our business that is made up of political ads does not come anywhere close to justifying the controversy that this incurs. >> reporter: new york congressman alexandria ocasio-cortez asked zuckerberg whether she'd be allowed to buy
7:15 am
ads about false information about her liberal environmental plan. >> do you see a problem with a complete lack of fact checking on political advertisements? >> congresswoman, i think lying is bad, and i think if you were to run an ad that had a lie, that would be bad. >> so you won't take down lies, or you will take down lies? a simple yes or no. >> in a democracy i believe people should be able to see for themselves -- >> so you won't take them down? >> reporter: some republicans lawmakers refrained from attacks and praised his ideas, comparing zuckerberg to the president. >> you're both very successful businessmen. you're both capitalists. you're both billionaires. you both challenge the status quo. he calls it draining the swamp. you see it as innovation. >> reporter: as if a rough day with lawmakers and talk about possibly breaking up facebook wasn't enough, now 47 state attorneys general say they're working together on a new
7:16 am
antitrust investigation of facebook that comes as some federal agencies are also conducting antitrust investigations. gayle? >> all right. ed o'keefe, very interesting day on capitol hill. thank you so much. disturbing new video is shedding light on a deadly 2017 police shooting of a teenage murder suspect as he tried to run away. their surveillance video shows clearly the 16-year-old climbing a fence and then falling to the grounds after being shot. now the teenager's parents are suing over his death. our lead national correspondent, david begnaud, is here with more. what are police saying? because the video does not look good. >> look, it's going to come down to the civil lawsuit. the jury's going to have to decide was the shooting justified. there were three different, separate agencies who investigated the case and ruled the shooting was justified. they said at the time the teenager who was unarmed was suspected of murder. the family's lawyer says just look at this tape. april 15th, 2017.
7:17 am
16-year-old isiah murrietta-golding leaves a fence and runs from the police after a traffic stop. he makes it eight steps before an officer on the other side of the fence pulls the trigger and shoots him in the back of the head. he crumples to the ground. police say there is more to the story than just how it ended. >> hands up, hands up! >> reporter: body cam footage from one of the officers shows that it started about a minute earlier when a car that was driven by isiah's brother was stopped at a snapping center. >> backward -- >> reporter: both had been suspected of a deadly shooting that happened the day before. >> down on your knees. >> reporter: isiah takes off running. police start chasing him, across a road, then over the fence, and that's when you can hear the fatal shot. sergeant ray villalvazo, the officer identified in the lawsuit as the one who pulled the trigger, said that during the chase, isiah reached for his waistband multiteletimes. and that's why the sergeant said he feared for his life.
7:18 am
police say isiah murrietta-golding was known to carry a gun, and he was on the grounds of a preschool when he was shot. the lawsuit which was filed by isiah's mother claims that during the foot chase isiah never threatened an officer or made any threatening gestures, and that nothing isiah might have done justified the use of deadly force. stewart chandler is the family attorney -- >> you can't say that every time an officer fires a gun it's automatically okay. there has to be a line where you say "this is not acceptable," and this is one of those cases. >> so the police in fresno say isiah's 17-year-old brother who was in the car with him before the shooting was arrested and pleaded guilty to the murders the suspects were accused of committing. the family's lawyer says that shouldn't matter here. >> police have to answer a lot of questions. in the video he's still running away, he's shot through a fence, david, from the back. >> yeah. a bullet shouldn't be used in a case of pursuit it would seem to
7:19 am
me. >> it looked like he was grabbing his pants. i guess on the scene you don't know. >> there's a lot of commotion on a scene. it does appear he's just running away. >> it will come down to what the jury decides. the police say it was justified. will 12 members of a jury agree? >> we shall see. thank you so much, david. ahead, a potential new warning for women considering breast implants. why the government may issue its strongest form of caution. first, 7:19. especially up in the higher elevations up in the north bay mountains. red flag warning in effect until 4:00 p.m. today. near record breaking high temperatures as we head through the afternoon. 90 in concord. livermore san jose 80 in oakland and 88 for san francisco. another hot day tomorrow. second wind event for the week.

7:32 am
and if need be, hit the brakes. but we found reports from drivers claiming crashes, even injuries, because of false activations of the emergency braking systems. car makers say the vast majority of the time the technology works as it should but it is not perfect. for cindy walsh, just getting behind the wheel of her 2018 nissan rogue raises her anxiety. she says it has slammed on the brakes three times for no clear reason when she says there was no risk of a collision. >> first one i was driving down a four-lane highway going about 55 and it completely came to a complete stop. >> how do you feel about driving the car now? >> i'm scared to. >> walsh took it to the dealer each time. twice they told her they fixed it. the national highway safety
7:33 am
administration is investigating the rogue after learning of nearly 850 complaints of false activation of the automatic braking system, including 14 crashes and five injuries. >> you are just going along the road and your car just stops. >> the rogue like about half of new cars sold is equipped with forward collision avoidance technology. it's supposed to sound an alarm and automatically brake if you're about to rear end another vehicle. it will be standard in most cars within three years. >> people say they were turning it off. the technology can help and does save you and prevents crashes, but only if it's on and working. >> the insurance institute for highway safety says auto braking is making driving safer, estimating the technology could cut rear end collisions in half. >> these emergency braking systems, they are effective. they are working in the real world, but there's definitely
7:34 am
room for improvement. >> since 2015, there have been seven recalls for auto braking issues affecting nearly 180,000 vehicles. there are more than half a million nissan rogues subject to the investigation. they have received hundreds of complaints about phantom braking in a number of other vehicles. it happened to us last year. >> i think overall it is safer. >> we were driving a tesla model 3 with auto pilot. the car pumped the brakes as we approached an overpass on a busy new jersey freeway. >> it as another car. >> that was odd. >> in a statement nissan acknowledges some rogue drivers may experience false activation on unique road conditions like some railroad crossings, bridges and low-hanging traffic lights, but says it is committed to the safety and security of our customers and has made a free software update available at
7:35 am
dealerships. cindy walsh is unconvinced. >> i don't feel ve driving it, so i don't want the car. >> walsh just took nissan to arbitration. she won. she's going to be able to give her vehicle back. car makers say this driver asstan technology is preventing crashes every day it's on the roads and it's getting better the longer it's out there. >> thank you very much. >> scary when your nissan rogue goes rogue. >> very unfortunate name for that car rogue. it's interesting to hear tim and chris that was odd. i would say that was very scary. >> terrifying. >> they've got to figure that out. snow leopards are considered one of the most vulnerable animals left in the wild. ahead, we go to siberia for a rare look at an inknow va ty program that's helping save the local species.

only about 4,000 snow leopards are left in the wild and that's low enough to classify them as a vulnerable species. they roam across central asia where climate change and poaching further threaten their survival. most countries do not actively protect these big cats but a program in the remote mountains of russia and mongolia is trying to safe the local species and it's working. elizabeth pauk rahmer with a ra look. >> reporter: three decades of hunting and poaching had almost wiped out the snow leopard. in the village we found boris markof, a former poacher. back in the day, he told me, just one pelt was worth a car. our journey deep into russia's
7:41 am
national park took us off road and on horse back to meet park biologist and researcher alexei. he's part of a program to bring the leopards back by shooting them with motion triggered cameras hidden in the wilderness. the results are astounding. intimate shots of animals so shy they do anything to avoid humans. even alexei has only seen a snow leopard once, though there's not much he doesn't know about their behavior, like the way they scratch to mark territory. here's one caught on camera doing exactly that. sergei is another ex-poacher. he's still got one of the lethal wire traps used by locals, but sergei has changed sides. he's just one of several former hunters getting a salary through the world wildlife fund to
7:42 am
monitor the cameras. when you get the photo cards out, do you look at the pictures yourself to see what's there? >> translator: oh yes, it's so interesting. i check right away to see if there are cubs. >> reporter: often there are. female leopards can have as many as four cubs in a litter. alexei says that paying the former hunters and poachers a salary is key, but there's also been a sea change in attitude. so did everybody in the village want to see the photographs? >> translator: they lined up. local people who'd never seen a snow leopard before now know how beautiful they are. >> reporter: back at the national park headquarters, alexei shows us more pictures from 120 cams that have been snapping away night and day for five years. looks like it's peering around the corner. that's magic. of course alexei has his

favorites. he knows every single animal by its unique pattern of spots. this is not only a treasure trove for scientists but thanks in part to the surveillance poaching has virtually stopped. there is very good news. in just five years the population of the snow leopard sub species has roughly doubled, 45 so far and counting. for cbs this morning, elizabeth palmer in siberia. >> curious. >> beautiful. >> gorgeous. >> it's their eyes. >> what a great program. >> thank you, elizabeth palmer. bruce springsteen, we like him too. he's talking to us about his dire directorial debut. he tells us why his film is a

this out there, just letting her know, it's been challenging, it's demystified a lot that's going on over there. >> do you think it was helpful for her to do this? >> oh, i definitely think so. even -- you can see it in her face when she reacts to him. when he asks her that question. she takes a moment. she pauses and goes into it. and you really see that in her eyes. >> tina, that kind of vulnerability might play well with an american audience. i certainly appreciated seeing it. you know the -- the u.k. media. how does it play there? >> well, the u.k. media is very conservative and very middle aged. you have to recognize that the tabloids are really, you know, staffed and written by middle-aged kind of white guys. >> yeah. >> they are ruthless about, you know, any blood in the water that they see. you know, vulnerability means they're going to -- they're going to go for it. and you know, they like to pretend that they like the stiff upper lip of the british upper
8:36 am
classes which actually they don't. but somehow, you know, as soon as anybody does show any emotion, they really go for it. >> you know, it's interesting -- i reached out to a bestselling author who's written about vulnerability, a researcher. she says actually when you do vulnerability, we found that the willingness to be vulnerable is the most accurate measure of courage. it takes considerable bravery to take off your armor in a world full of cynics and critics while it takes very little courage to be a cynic or a critic which i thought was well said. >> absolutely. >> what is it about the u.k., though, that when people show themselves that way, that they are either be littled, judged, for showing humanity? >> even though the stiff upper lip is an olds thing, it's ingained. the british are much more reserved, you know, by nature, than americans are. >> i don't think people realize the degree to which their story, harry and meghan's story is portrayed very differently over there. >> very differently. prince harry is trying to make the point, i am my mother's son. i mean, the interesting thing about diana was even though she
8:37 am
was an aristocratic girl, she was the first to make the stiff upper lip fwrem. she talked -- tremble. she talked about her emotions. harry feels he wants to do the same. he's the same as his mother. he's an emotional man and doesn't want to keep it bottled up. he's wounded by what's happened to his bride. meghan has been utterly trashed. >> he wants to make sure he is spoken also candidly that what happened to his mother he does not want to see happen to his wife. >> terrifying. >> that's why -- it is terrifying to even think about that actually. makes me sad to even think about how that story could end. i don't see that for her. daniel, you know, when you see the reaction here, it's very different. what are you hearing? there's a poem called "still i rise" based on meghan -- >> an incredible videocosm lating a lot of meghan's videos. and maya angelou leading -- >> and still i rise.>> still i . it's a beautiful mash-up that started sick lating. it got a -- circulating.
8:38 am
got a lot of people thinking, wow, she can come up from this. >> absolutely. >> i think just making that acknowledgment helped open the world and understand what she's been going through. >> would you call her a weak person? >> no, not at all. >> i wouldn't either. >> as what role does race play? >> i think there is racism, and a rising misogyny by the way in e u.k. >> probably classism, too. >> i think that brexit england is an ugly place. there's a lot o anger. a lot of misogyny. a lot of sort of people in a kind of -- you know, hatred of foreigners. you know, there's a lot ofad stuff happening now. >> do you think the lawsuits are going to quiet things down? >> no. i think they stirred up the media tremendously. i think they were absolutely right to sue about the letter. >> you were they were right to sue -- >> the letter. absolutely. the fact is copyright-wise. they stole her copylight and published -- copyright and published it. they have a good case for that. going after the media in a generic sense will stir up the
8:39 am
beast. and the beast is on the attack. and they're getting it -- tough right now. >> we should say harry and meghan seem to be very in this together. that they are all -- they are both supporting each other. you said you don't see her as weak. how would you describe how she's handling this? >> i feel like she has a lot on her plate, and i feel like she wants to make sure that her boys are safe and that she's going to, you know -- i know her, she's going to totally take care of this. it's just understanding the ways around it. >> yeah. what was the quote, she said she knew it would be tough, but she thought it would be fair. >> yes. she wanted it to be fair. >> tabloids -- fair they don't do. >> and for it to be true. you can take the negativity if it's true. >> absolutely. >> most of it isn't true. >> that's the way it is. i think she can beat it off. i think -- >> you think she can? >> absolutely, she can turn it around. the africa tour was a huge success. they were getting very good press. >> yes. thank you both. thank you both. a pennsylvania college student is sharing stories about

8:45 am
history. asian american icons who helped shape our country yet remain largely unknown. >> yes, so this is the first chinese woman to immigrate to america. and she was basically brought over to be showcased to the world. almost like a circus freak show. sammy lee was the first asian american to win a gold medal for the u.s. in olympic diving. she had to practice his diving into a sand pit because he was barred from entering the public pools in his neighborhood. so i always use a litbi of this dust -- >> reporter: jasmine bakes modern icons, too, like actors keanu reeves, and in case you didn't guess, "star trek's" george takei. her cookies are being exhibited at pittsburgh state academy where maryann lin directs education on inclusion and global awareness. when you first saw jasmine's cookies, what did you think?
