might respond? >> reporter: as you said, qassem soleimani is due to be buried today, and the official mourning period is over. everybody is focusing on what comes next and certainly any possible reprisal attacks. i sat down with iran's foreign minister who was denied a visa by the united states to travel to new york this week. he'd wanted to attend meetings at the united nations. can you confirm that you were denied a visa to travel to speak at the united nations this week? >> that's what we are told by the secretary general, that secrary pompeo called and said they didn't have enough time to review my request. that's not unexpected. but my question is, what are they afraid of? soleimani's funeral in his home city in the south of iran, there was another frenzied outpouring of grief and anger. there were also more public calls for reprisals against the united states. dran has powerful allies

proxs inhe rion o could s.tased to carry out revenge ckt out. when i ask about reports that the supreme leader has ordered that any revenge attacks should be proportional and carried out by iranian forces. >> we are a law-abiding nation. when we take action, it won't be disproportionate unlike what president trump has said. there has been the killing of an irani -- several iranian citizens and several top ranking, high-ranking military officers. that is what we will do, and we will do it not in a cowardly way but in a proportionate way. >> reporter: when? >> as we choose. >> what else did you learn from speaking with zarif this morning? >> reporter: he insisted that any attacks would be on legitimate targets. i pressed him. i said, "what do you mean by that?" he told me to consult the law of war, the geneva convention.

legitimate targets are defined as military targets specifically or infrastructure that helps the military. i think that's just about all the answer we're going to get at this stage. >> it does narrow it to somewhat. elizabeth palmer in tehran. thank you so much. in washington today, the trump administration plans to rr the military operation that killed general soleimani. defense secretary mark esper and secretary of state mike pompeo will defend president trump's decision to target iran's most influential military leader. the response to an attack that killed a u.s. contractor in iraq. the president insists americans are now safer, while democrats neisar ay.t cee whithouse.ck was where do things stand now? >> reporter: well, president trump has promised to answer any retaliation from iran with even more force. meanwhile, the democrats want to know what exactly was the imminent threat that led

president trump to launch the strike on the iranian general and want to know what the war. >> the american people need clarity that the trump administration has a plan. >> reporter: president trump did not notify congress of his decision to kill soleimani until the day after the strike. democrats are planning to force a vote on a new war powers resolution to restrain president trump's ability to launch further military action against iran unless congress approves. republican senate majority leader mitch mcconnell says democrats are more interested in blaming president trump than focusing on national security. >> can we not maintain a shred,? >> reporter: republican senator rand paul said the killing of soleimani is the death of diplomacy with iran. >> you would have to be brain dead to believe that we tear up the agreement, we put an embargo on you, and we kill your major generaand they're ing to crawl back to the table. >> reporter: president trump

defended himself saying the united states is a lot safer now. >> we'll see what happens. we'll see what the response is if any. you've seen what i said our response will be. >> reporter: the president is threatening to strike 52 sites in iran, including cultural ones which would viw.thresenior admi officials either publicly contradicted mr. trump or said that he had not said what he said. adding to the confusion monday, the pentagon circulated a letter announcing a withdrawal of u.s.o but the pentagon later said there is no decision to leave iraq, and it was just a draft. >>aniz rion ahonest mistake.the danger to national security. >> it says that there's mass chaos, that the trump administration hasn't a clue what it is doing. >> reporter: the draft letter announcing a u.s. withdrawal from iraq comes after the iraqi parliament voted to kick u.s.

troops out of that country. the pentagon now claims it simply wanted to warn the iraqis of u.s. troop movements in the area.>>radowik benu.ank , yo with vice president mike pence in his first network tv interview since the killing of n ewyos u leimani. rvofse pe uecae o teinw rico this hour. a strong earthquake struck overnight causing a blackout across the u.s. territory. the magnitude 6.4 earthquake hit just south of the island. now it comes one day after a 5.8-magnitude quake damaged homes and caused landslides there. the mayor of the city of ponce told a local station at least one person was killed. david begnaud is joining us. he's been monitoring the developing story. there's no such thing as a good time for an earthquake. >> they've been dealing with this for the last week or so. i was looking on the usgs

website, there was a 5.8, 4.5. they won't stop. are stang outside over fears that their homes may collapse with future earthquakes. this is the largest in a series of earthquakes that have hit the island in ayntres. d we have video from inside of a grocery store that shows people scattering and taking off when the quake hit. other pictures show homes and bu rungthat c some houses were ripped to their foundations. other cars were crushed underneath homes that collapsed. we have a social media image posted by a local journalist that shows patients evacuated on stretchers outside of the damas hospital in ponce. earthquake concerns have been the island sits on an active fault and has had 700 earthquakes since the end of december. most go unnoticed. and get this -- after

out to a seismologist with the usgs to find out what the chances were that there would be something stronger than a 5.8. he put the odds at 3%.pe mning the odds did not work out in their favor. we spoke to puerto rico's power authority, the ceo. i spoke to him on the phone. he said there was actually another earthquake happening as we were talking. he said there's minor damage to the two largest power plants on the island. there was an automatic shutdown of the power grid when this morning's major earthquake happened. so it was a protective measure that the power plant shut down. they hope to get it back in service by noon. i'm actually getting off the set and getting on a plane to go. >> 700 earthquakes in a short amount of time. >> yea thankou so back in washington, a stunning reversal from former national security adviser john bolton. he says he is willing to give testimony at president trump's senate impeachment trial if he is subpoenaed. speaker nancy pelosi is still withholding the articles of impeachment from the senate as

the house returns today. nancy cordes is in washington for us. good morning. so big reversal here. how are lawmakers responding? >> reporter: well, some senate republicans tell us that they're interested in hearing what bolton has to say, while others believe that's a decision that should be made when the trial gets under way. bolton's testimony could be intriguing because he was the president's top foreign policy adviser. and we know from other witnesses that he was troubled by the efforts to pressure ukraine into investigating joe biden. nation council official, for example, fiona hill, said that at one point bolton likened the efforts to a drug deal and told her and others to alert white house lawyers. democrats think he might know more about the president's decision to withhold millions of dollars in military aid to ukraine. but republican senate leader mitch mcconnell says that all

decisions about witnesses should take place after opening statements in the senate trial, just like they did during the clinton impeachment trial more than 20 years ago. the risk is if senate republicans decide to hear from john bolton, then it's going to be harder to justify stopping there. democrats want to hear from a host of witnesses that the white house blocked from testifying before the house impeachment inquiry. >> yeah. this does shake things up. thank you. disgraced hollywood mogul harvey weinstein faces new criminal charges in los angeles as jury selection gets under way today for his trial in new york. the los angeles district attorney's office announced yesterday weinstein has been charged with raping one woman and sexually assaulting another in 2013. jericka duncan is outside the courthouse in new york where weinstein appeared for a pretrial hearing yesterday. what do we know about these new charges? >> reporter: good morning.

harvey weinstein just arrived here in court. we know that based on the prosecutor's office in l.a., harvey weinstein is likely to be arraigned there after this trial wraps up. prosecutors are also asking that bail be set at $5 million. now, we do know there have been several women that accused harvey weinstein of sexual assault in los angeles, and while two of those cases resulted in charges, prosecutors say they're still investigating several other cases. >> we believe the evidence will show that the defendant used his power and infl ge vitoctimncn a committed violent crimes against them. >> reporter: in los angeles county montran ddaat ternryie by bat restraint. >> to those victims, i want you to know we see you, we hear you, and we believe you. >> reporter: according to the

d.a.'s office, on february 18th, 2013, weinstein allegedly raped a woman in a los angeles hotel room. the next evening, he allegedly sexually assaulted a different woman in a hotel suite in beverly hills. it was just days before his film "django unchained" won two academy awards. weinstein appeared in court monday hunched over and leaning on a walker. the 67-year-old is on trial there for allegedly sexually assaulting two women. one in 2006 and the other in 2013. his attorneys say they're concerned about a fair trial. >> we're going to continue to press on and remind everyone that in this great country, you are innocent until proven guilty. >> reporter: meanwhile, attorney douglas wigdor says his client, a weinstein accuser, will soon tell her story publicly for the first time. her allegations are not part of the charges weinstein is facing in new york, but her testimony could help paint a picture of

weinstein's alleged behavior. >> she will support the main two s mos endi. one alleges she was assaulted in his new york apartment. she was working as a waitress when weinstein expressed interest in her career. >> the me too movement has changed things. it is the right thing to hold harvey weinstein and people like harvey weinstein accountable. >> reporter: outside the courthouse, dozens of protesters including several weinstein accusers gathered to echo that sentiment. >> you thought you could terrorize me and others into silence. you were wrong. >> reporter: weinstein's defense team asked the judge to sequester the jury, but the judge denied that request.enlles st ofwe ineinnonconsensual sex and

not guilty to charges he faces in new york. whether he is convicted in new york or los angeles, harvey weinstein could face the rest of his life behind bars. >> thank you so much. australian officials say police have arrested 24 people on arson charges in connection with the deadly bush fires sweeping large areas of that country. victims of those fires are returning to their neighborhoods and seeing the destruction firsthand. jamie yuccas is in new south wales. good morning. how bad is it there? >> reporter: good morning. the reality of the situation is starting to sink in. homes destroyed. firefighters have been battling the blazes here in southeastern australia for nearly five months. as more destruction is unveiled it shows a nation in crisis. hundreds of australians are starting to sift through the rubble of their still-smoldering homes, returning to smog-filled towns. >> i couldn't see. the smoke was so thick. >> reporter: and empty stores.

disgraced media mogul harvey weinstein faces for new sex crime charges in los angeles as jury selection gets under way in his l.a. trial. new york charges based on a rape accusation from one woman and a sexual assault from another. the separate incidents allegedly took place over a two-day period in 2013. >> now, those proceedings will not start until weinstein's trial in new york wraps up. weinstein denies all allegations of nonconsensual sex in the case. he has not commented on the charges in los angeles. new york coordinator and cbs news contributor won a pulitzer prize for breaking news about harvey weinstein. she's here with the developments of cbs news poll on impact of #metoo and times up movements. good to have you back at the table.

listen, it doesn't seem like yesterday was a very good day for harvey weinstein. what do these new charges mean, they come on the same day as they are selecting a jury. >> it was an incredibly dramatic development. harvey weinstein is fighting charges on two front. as you said these l.a. allegations are very dramatic. prosecutors are basically accusing him of hurting women day after day in l.a. remember, as jury selection starts in new york, the new york jury may know about what he's accused of doing in los angeles. >> do you think these two cases could affect each other, jodi? >> they can in ways that are very unpredictable. first of all there's a woman involved in the two cases. only one woman involved but the prosecutor can call other witnesses. one of those witnesses is also at the center of the l.a. allegations. >> that's the point his lawyer is making when we talked to her earlier, that you hear all these terrible stories about harvey

weinstein. but it ended the day, this case only involves two women. so he may have been a center, she -- a sinner, she says, but not a criminal. what do you say about that? >> until opening arguments happen, i think we don't really know the exact strength of the prosecution or of the defense. here's the advantage that the prosecution has -- when they begin to show a pattern, that can be really devastating it. remember that the nature of the harvey weinstein allegations is these women who are strangers to one another, who didn't know each other, they're telling very similar stories about the same man over and over again. that's really powerful. what the defense has on its side is that, member, the jury has to be unanimous to convict. when is the last time that 12 people you know agreed on these really complicated matters about sex and power? so they may be able to create some doubt about exactly what happened and about consents in the jury's mind. >> i want to get your reaction to the poll on times up --

time's up and the me too movement. people are talking about sexual harassment and misconduct, but most people say things have not changed. does that surprise you? >> well, i think what's confounding is that everything's changed and nothing's changed. what we see two-plus years later is first of all, people are still confuse good what sexual harassment is. it's not a criminal charge like the ones in these cases in new york and l.a. and it's not really about sex. it's about work. it's about women's opportunities in the workplace and going into the workplace and trying to do a job and instead being asked for something else. i think also it's part of why this case is so symbolic because what we've seen is that social attitudes have shifted, but have they shifted in the courtroom? have our laws shifted? how will a jury respond to this kind of evidence? will they see it differently than a jury might have seen it a decade or two ago? >> we'll see. you also say the case is so much bigger than justice one man. >> exactly -- just one man. >> exactly. >> thank you. tomorrow we'll look at the time's up legal defense funds

and its effort to help victims of sexual harassment at work. the latest tv technology caters to people who love watching videos on their phones. the screen rotates between vertical and horizontal. all right. ahead, we'll take you to the huge ces tech show in las vegas to show you the newest innovations of all kind. you're

ethic. this is a rose bowl that will bring you a -- robot that brings you fresh loaded toilet paper. guess what's out? there is not another roll you can reach. we have all been there. >> have you tried it? >> reporter: well, not in -- not lately, no. but there is a lot of week left. and so it uses your phone as a beacon. and so it follows you to your phone and says i know where you are and you summon it and it brings you toilet paper. it also assumes very accurately that we're always sitting on the can with our phones. interesting as well. an interesting dog we saw is called the tom bot. it's $400 robotic dog. you say here is cooley with another robot. it's not meant to be a cute little pet. it is that and amazing life like, but it's animal-assisted therapy for dementia patients. groups use dogs for post-traumatic stress disorder,

paws for purple hearts uses that. but real dogs are sentient beings, take a lot of training. this could be scaled quickly. great for working with prisoners who need to have a sense of relationship and responsibility with a living creature. it will be 400 bucks when it comes out later this year. >> you don't have to walk it, brian. i like that idea. >> brian, let's talk about makeup and finding the perfect lipstick color. i hear they have something that will help you do this a. have you tried that one? >> reporter: l'oreal has -- well, i didn't try it personally. l'oreal has something. it's a little tower and you put some cartridges of different lipstick colors in. when i saw it i go, wait a minute, that's the paint mixing machine from home depot. it creates lipstick colors using an app that gives you the perfect shade. i am interested in it because it also blends in custom skin care. you look good but you are doing something good for you and it's a custom mix just for you. >> really cool stuff.

disclaimer on its website saying the rebel whopper is plant-based. so far, so good. however, it is cooked on the same broiler as our original whopper, the beef one, and may not be suitable for vegetarians. >> whoops. >> yes. they say it's aimed at flextarions, which are people who occasionally don't want to eat meat. this makes good business sense from burger king's perspective. they don't have to get a new grill. strict vegetarians are 5% of the population. more people are plant curious, but not a lot of vegetarians. y. that could be my last meal maybe. >> i don't want to think about that. >> i don't want to go to jail. all right. here you go. i am thinking -- >> jail? >> you know, in jail -- >> a last meal. i understand. >> that's what i was talking about. >> a leap for me. okay. that is an image. >> as far as i know, i am a law-abiding citizen. i'm talking about "jeopardy!." the all-time greatest

♪ oh, that's perfect song for daniel. a new book shows us how we can all make the most of our lives as we grow older. starting today and even stretching into our 90s. suessful aging is by bestselling author, neuroscientist and cognitive psychologist, his name is daniel levitan. he writes that openness, associations, con shenness and healthy practices are choices that can impacts the rest of our lives. your personality matters, too. daniel joins us to discuss successful aging. you say aging is not a simple

period of decay. i was reading this the day i turned 65. i read this with both eyes. aging is not a simple period of decay. it can be a period of unique growth. it's actually a time of blossoming. what do you mean by that? >> you know, the societal narrative is that aging is a time of decline -- >> yes. >> depression. the research does not bear that out. >> good. >> for most of us, it's a time of renewed energy. oldsters i like to call them, like hipsters and youngsters, oldsters are more compassionate. they experience more gratitude -- actually don't like oldsters. i think we should work on that. >> okay. >> we need a hipper name. >> we need a hipper name. there is what i thought was interesting -- i never thought about this -- we concentrate on our life span and really we cenh span. there's a difference. >> that's exactly right. >> i like that. >> it's not so important to me anyway how long you live but how much of that time that you're going to live you're healthy and active and enjoying the things

that you enjoy. >> you do say our personality does affect how we age. >> it does. very much so. >> how? >> we tend to think of the personality as stable over the life span, of course. but you can climate change your personality -- you can change your personality. if you've got a conscientious personality and are open to new experiences or if you can cultivate those qualities, you'll do much better as you age. >> how about staying active? it's interesting that mental health is influenced by physical health. why? >> you need to oxygenate the blood. more importantly, you need to explore the environment because the seed of memory, the hippocampus, is really evolved over tens of thousands of years to help us approach food and mates and retreat from dangers. the biggest factor in mental health isn't exercise. it's movement. if you're worried about whether, i got to do an extra half hour on the treadmill, it's not that. it's just get up, move around. that's the biggest difference.

>> is there -- if there's one thing that we can do today to be better in aging, what is it? >> i would say the big thing to do is to get up and move in natural environments as much as you can. get off the couch. >> yeah. >> my wife says, stands up, i should listen. >> you had a great thing about sex when it comes to liberals and conservatives. what did you find? >> well, the research says that liberals -- >> funny -- >> tend to have sex into older ages than conservatives. >> like 80s you said. >> yes. and in fact, liberals engage in se a longer period of time when they do have -- >> and conservatives? >> you use it or you lose it -- >> conservatives? >> conservatives tend to peter out as they say -- >> okay -- >> at a younger age. >> daniel got jokes. are you a liberal or conservative -- >> thank you so much. "successful aging" is on sale today -- >> are you liberal or conservative, tony -- >> whatever one has more fun for longer. we'll be right back.

before we go, how about a happy reunion? everybody likes those. for two military veterans who served side by side. >> hey, buddy. how you been? >> hey, buddy. german shepherd veto ran into the arms of jesse robinson in nebraska over the weekend. the two were last togethertin spain with the navy. they were brought together by a group that helps reunite -- oh -- retired military dogs with their former handlers. >> kind of an indescribable feeling i guess. they become your best friend and someone you work with, someone that you trust your life to when you show up to situations. then to reunite is absolutely incredible. >> wow. >> vito served as a bomb detection dog. this summer robinson plans to take him on a backpacking trip
