7:07 am
>> reporter: today the seven house managers who will essentially serve as the prosecutors in the senate trial are going to walk the articles of impeachment to the senate where they will read the articles out loud on the nature -- senate floor. chief justice john roberts will be sponsor in and he in turn swear in the 100 senators who are going to serve as jurors. when the trial begins next week senators will have to sit quietly. they can only listen. they can't talk to one another, rials than bring in reading aterials that don't pertain to opletrial. >> boy, nancy, people's heads were spinning in washington yesterday. let's go back to parnas. i felt i need a tea cup with my re we finger. tat are we hearing about these new details from what he said and how that could affect the senate trial? >> reporter: it's a real bomb shell because he's the first individual to say point blank that he was working to pressure the ukrainians on behalf of the
7:08 am
president and with his knowledge. others have couched it they said that this was their understanding that this is what the president wanted or that they heard it second hand. some senate republicans, however, are questioning the timing of all this. they want to know why it wasn't included in the house impeachment investigation and that might lead some of them to argue that they shouldn't consider it when they are sitting listening to this trial trying to decide whether the president should be kept in office. >> a lot to the story. thank you very much. in response to parnas' comments, the white house says this. he is desperate to reduce prison time and adding the president did nothing wrongs. >> the white house predicts the impeachment trial will be an easy and quick win for the president. but first after the senators are sworn in later today senate rules require the president must be summoned and given time to answer the charges against him. weijia jiang is at the white house.
7:09 am
how is the president expected to respond? >> reporter: good morning. likely be a written response and give us a solid preview of the white house's legal defense against the charges in the articles of impeachment. on the obstruction of congress charge, the white house will largely argue the president did not obstruct justice because he was simply exercising his constitutionally protected demanding dent trump iing an immediate fial president trump is now beling for the articles of impeachment to be dismissed, which is extremely unlikely. two senior administration officials tell cbs news they do not believe extra witnesses should be called in the senate trial but cbs news has learned the white house believes there will likely be enough republican defectors to pass a vote to hear from more people. now if that happens mr. trump's lawyers are prepared with their own list of witnesses. the white house has called the entire process a partisan sham nnd pointed to nancy pelosi's signing of the articles in which
7:10 am
ute handed out souvenir pens while calling it a somber day for america. the white house is still finalizing the president's defense team and they are considering adding some of mr. trump's republican allies in the house to the mix. gayle? >> thank you very much. much.ouse leaders were taking their final steps on impeachment, the president was signing a groundbreaking trade deal with china. the white house ceremony marked the first phase of a new d reement. t calls for china to buy another $200 billion in u.s. gy,ds. also increases protection of u.s. technology, patents, trade marks and cope rights in exchange the u.s. will lower import tariffs on many chinese rtoducts. >> we learned what senators .lizabeth warren and bernie sanders said to each other in a tense moment after tuesday's emocratic debate. this happened seconds after the th end of that debate when the two en long time allies squared off on stage. es.o'keefe is in des moines.
7:11 am
ed, good morning. elizabeth warren didn't appear to shake hands with senator sanders. what happened? >> reporter: that's right. remember all eyes were on warren and sanders after the debate ande she declined to take his handshake. cnn had released the video. now we got the audio. watch and listen. >> i think you called me a liar on national tv. >> what? >> i think you called me a liar menational tv. >> let's not do it right now. we'll have the discussion. you told me -- let's not do it now. >> i don't want to get involved, just wanted to say hi. >> okay. >> reporter: warren there clearly photo happy with sanders who during the debate denied he ever said he didn't think a woman could become president. both the warren and sanders campaign have declined to comment, so has the democratic wtional committee whether or not they have any issue with cnn releasing the video after a candid moment. his has this has caused a rift between the two opponents. sanders and warren are going after the same liberal democrats

(upbeat music) this morning in our eye on earth series we explore how climate change threatens penguins in a place few people have visited. a new u.s. government report found the last decade was the hottest ever recorded on earth. and 2019 was the second hottest year ever measured raising new concerns about climate change. one of the places seriously affected antarctica. we go there to understand how
7:40 am
penguins are being impacted by the warming temperatures. >> reporter: good morning. antarctica is one of the most remote places on the planet but climate change is hitting it hard. we're here with a group of scientists who want to know how the warming weather is affecting this particular species of penguins. elephant island is so far flung few people have set foot on these rocky shores. it took us three days of sailing with environmental activists from green peace. crashing through waves and climbing across rubber rafts to join scientists counting penguins. why count penguins? >> they come back to the same place to nest every year which means we can really keep tabs on their population by observing penguins we can get an idea of the health of this whole area. >> reporter: alex observes nesting areas like this where
7:41 am
one parent babysits while another fish for crill. then hikes back up to feed its chick the shrimp like food. these scientist from stone brook and northeastern universities count each colony on foot with mechanical clickers and scan them from above with hi-tech drones. all to see if this population of penguins is dwindling like elsewhere in the region. the researchers are traveling on green peace ships from tiled to island across the antarctica peninsula. they are comparing different penguin populations the to see how they are adapting to clamt change here. it may not look like it but this is one of the fastest warming areas on earth. one nearby island is actually called penguin island. over the past four decades its population has plunged by 75%.
7:42 am
the numbers have dropped across the region as temperatures have soared by more than five degrees over 50 years. that's about five times the global average. >> when we see climate change impacting things down here, glacial melt, warming oceans, penguins interact with all of those things. >> reporter: so do crill, their favorite food. they depend on sea ice to survive. >> sea ice is what brings the ocean life here together. >> reporter: so with less sea ice there's less crill, so less food for the penguins? >> that's the idea. >> reporter: after days of being on elephant filed scientists invited us on to their ship to watch them crunch numbers. >> wow.
7:43 am
>> that's amazing. >> reporter: there's a pattern they are seeing on the island. decline of around 150,000 penguins since the last major survey 50 years ago. another sign researchers say this penguin population is collapsing across the region. >> very dramatic to have a wildlife population decline by 50% and they are not hunted. >> you think climate change is the main reason? >> i think climate change is driving almost all the processes down here now in a way they never experienced before. >> reporter: penguins after lot like people. they need food and a good environment to thrive. these researchers say if the world continues to warm these birds can show us how other species even human beings will be affected by climate change. lots of big drop. they depend on what's in the ocean. you know who else eats a lot of
7:44 am
things from the ocean? us. >> i keep hearing morgan freeman's voice, it looked exactly like that and they are so cute. you really want them to thrive. >> population cut in half. >> very scary. vladimir duthiers is looking at stories you'll be talking about today. >> folks want to stick around for this because we have heart pounding video out of washington, d.c. a building crumbled on to a sidewalk just two seconds after two women walk by. we'll tell you why that building came down. >> well done when they say i'm keeping a very close eye on the rain and the wind . a windy morning commute and we will have the heaviest rain and the strongest winds with this cold front pushing across this morning bringing scattered showers and isolated thunderstorms in the afternoon. a lot of snow in the sierra.
