could die in the next eight weeks without more precautions, according to the head of the cdc. dr. robert redfield warns this winter will be the most difficult public health battle. local officials are split on how best to respond. our lead national correspondent david begnaud is following this. let's start in los angeles which is reintroducing strict stay-at-home orders. >> look, there was this text message alert that went out to a lot of people in los angeles. scared some people. made them almost think it was like marshal law being declared. it's a very strict stay-at-home order, but there is a laundry list of exceptions. watch. >> my message couldn't be simpler. it's time to hunker down. >> reporter: with more los angeles residents infected with coronavirus than ever before, mayor eric garcetti issued a targeted safer at home order. for everyone in the city. directing them to remain in their homes. >> it's time to cancel

everything. and if it isn't essential, don't do it. >> reporter: now, listen, there are tons of exemptions. not only for essential workers but also for those who need to keep nonessential businesses running. including retail stores and restaurants. also exempt from the order are faith-based services and protests. now the number of californians hospitalized with covid-19 hit a record high for the fourth straight day on wednesday. this is as hospitals around the country are bracing for a surge upon surge as it's called because of holiday gatherings recently. >> december and january and february are going to be rough times. i actually believe they're going to be the most difficult time in the public health history of this nation. >> and those concerns have some people pressuring the fda to move faster on approving a vaccine. but commissioner stephen hahn told cbs news his agency will not cut any corners. >> what we're going to do is crunch the numbers ourselves. look at safety. look at efficacy.

and we're going to do that line by line. >> reporter: after approval, "operation warp speed" hopes to have the pfizer vaccine out the door by december 15th. with doses allocated to states by population. for example, some 300,000 in california. 170,000 in new york. 19,000 in minnesota and 12,000 to maine. among the first people to get the vaccine are frontline health workers like dr. kurt papenfus. he's the only full-time doctor treating about 900 people in cheyenne wells, colorado. so when he contracted the coronavirus in late october, his hospital had to scramble to replace him. >> from the clinic doc, i'm the er doc and the hospitalist when i'm on call. i do everything. i get the sense that even though you are recovering and you should be in bed resting, you probably feel a sense of guilt. >> yeah, it's almost like survivor's guilt in a way. i guess it took five different doctors to cover me in one week. if all your health care docs are

like me, then what the hell are you going to do? >> you know, the doctor was telling us he's got a lot of brain fog right now. he said i feel like i'm drunk sometimes. i'm usually so fast on my feet but right now i feel kind of slow. because of that, the state has told him, listen, you'll need to get a cognition check before you come back to work so we can make sure you are ready to function again as a doctor. before we toss back one more thing about los angeles and that stay-at-home order, the mayor of l.a. says this one will have some teeth to it. and they will vigorously enforce the order. >> very troubling. david, thank you. the coronavirus vaccine is likely still months away for most americans. while the uk has already approved the pfizer biontech formula. charlie d'agata is in oxford with the latest on this vaccine. what do you know? >> good morning, tony. we're in oxford, awaiting major developments in that vaccine. meanwhile, the pfizer vaccine, we have learned, is due to

arrive here in a matter of hours, not days. while this country prepares one of its greatest medical missions in modern history. the pfizer biontech vaccine may be the first off the blocks in britain but there are several hurdles ahead. >> there are immense logistical challenges. each person needs two injections three weeks apart. so it will inevitably take some months before all the most vulnerable are protected. >> reporter: the vaccine itself needs protection, too. stored at minus 95 degrees, demanding an ultra cold supply system, all the way from belgium to the uk to planes and trucks to designated hospital hubs across the country. then repeat the entire process for the second shot. critics say the complexity of such an operation puts pfizer well out of reach in poorer countries. supply is key. >> there's about 8 billion people in the world. we need two doses up front, that's 16 billion doses.

and i think it's inevitable that the richer countries get there quicker. this is a pandemic of inequalities. >> reporter: when the inequality of price. pfizer costs around $40 per person, in comparison, the oxford vaccine, only around $6. and the oxford vaccine doesn't require a deep freeze, which may make it a stronger global candidate. there are serious questions about the effectiveness of the oxford vaccine. we are expecting a peer reviewed report to be published any time now. also worth considering that oxford vaccine is currently being considered by regulators for emergency use. anthony? >> charlie d'agata in oxford, thank you. president trump yesterday released a 46-minute video address from the white house. he did not give the speech to address the coronavirus pandemic. instead his bizarre rant addressed his own political problems where he fueled baseless claims of election

fraud. mr. trump called it, quote, maybe the most important speech of his life. paula reid has the story. >> if we are right about the fraud, joe biden can't be president. >> reporter: but the president is wrong. judges in courts across the country have said the campaign has not provided evidence of widespread voter fraud. and joe biden is the president-elect. neither of those facts deterred the president who released the 46-minute white house-produced video on facebook wednesday. filled with false accusations about the election. >> we used to have what was called eelection day. now we have election days, weeks and months. >> reporter: the president's personal attorney rudy giuliani made similar baseless claims in michigan yesterday evening. >> this election was stolen by mail-in ballots. >> reporter: he appeared with witnesses who weren't under oath and urged lawmakers to award the state's electoral votes, which mr. biden won, to the president instead. >> all i can tell you is, we let

him get away with this, i don't know what happens after this. >> reporter: but the hearing was held in michigan's statehouse, not a court of law. a judge previously deemed some of the witnesses' accounts has not credible. just a day earlier, mr. trump's own attorney general became the highest ranking administration official to publicly dispute the president's claim. and said federal investigators had not seen fraud on a scale that could have affected a different outcome in the election. barr reportedly had an intense meeting with president trump on tuesday over the attorney general's remarks undercut playing trump's fraud claims. the white house refused to say whether the president still has confidence in barr. >> the president, if he has any personnel announcements, will be the first to know it. >> reporter: while the president and his lawyers cried foul on the election, the president-elect was focused on the economic crisis he'll inherit in january. >> we're likely to lose another 250,000 people dead between now

and january. >> mr. biden held a virtual roundtable with people struggling economically amid the pandemic. >> this isn't a political game. this impacts on people's real lives and families. and it impacts on all of you. all of us. and we need to get help out the door as soon as we can. >> reporter: as millions of american families and small businesses reach a breaking point, long-awaited stimulus relief appears closer to actually happening after democratic leaders endorsed a $908 billion proposal. that is a significant concession for the house speaker who had been holding out for a $2 trillion deal. now while both parties say they are committed to pass something sort of package, senate majority leader mitch mcconnell appears committed to a much smaller deal. gayle? >> paula, thank you very much. snurks t the results of georgia's second recount are delayed this morning but not expected to

affect the outcome. they've already certified that president-elect joe biden beat president trump in georgia by more than 10,000 votes. the president asked for the new recount as state law allows. other republicans are concerned that misinformation spread by mr. trump will hurt his party in incoming elections. mark strassmann is in atlanta with more on this story. good morning to you. what's at stake here? >> a lot at stake, gayle. for starters, two runoff elections here next month. at stake is potentially control of the u.s. senate. and those republicans that are worried, that you mentioned, they say that the president's ongoing fight and the language that he's using, some of that potentially could hurt voter turn dlo turnout here and potentially threatens the safety of election workers. >> our investigators have seen no widespread fraud. >> reporter: georgia's republican secretary of state brad raffensberger's message to president trump, it's over. >> vice president biden will be carrying georgia, and he is our president-elect. >> reporter: but the president

won't accept reality. instead, he's attacked republican officials in the state who refuse to change the results in his favor. >> the secretary of state, who is really -- he's an enemy of the people. >> reporter: some of the president's supporters have made death threats against raffensberger and voting system implementation manager gabrielle sterling who blamed the president for inflammatory rhetoric. >> someone is going to get hurt. someone is going to get shot. someone is going to get killed. >> reporter: any evidence whatsoever of widespread fraud? >> oh, god no. >> nothing? >> nothing. >> reporter: we spoke to sterling whose family has police protection. about the threats facing him and other election employees. including a tech worker in his 20s. >> tracked his family and started harassing his family. there was a tweet where somebody put a swinging noose and said, you know, you've committed treason. may god have mercy on your soul. and that point, i was pretty much irate. i was done. >> if you can get the

president's attention today, what would you tell him? >> mr. president, you lost this state. >> reporter: next month, georgia will hold two crucial senate runoff elections. republicans kelly loeffler and david perdue are trying to hold on to their seats. seats that will decide whether republicans keep control of the senate. democrats are hoping voter registration efforts will help jon ossoff and reverend warnock win enough votes to swing the state. that as many republicans here worry about the political fallout from the president and his allies telling voters the system is rigged. >> they have not earned your vote. don't you give it to them. why would you go back and vote in another rigged election? for god's sakes. >> i believe it will suppress turnout on the republican side because you're being told your votes don't count. >> the president insisting there's been a fraud here. potentially could cost georgia its two republican seats? >> and cost republicans control

of the united states senate. >> reporter: on saturday, president trump will come here to hold a runoff rally for senators loeffler and perdue. and depending what he says, some republicans here are worried it could do more harm than good. tony? >> mark, thank you. hard to comprehend some of this stuff. both the lack of presidential address to the coronavirus deaths and then also republicans continuing to fight this voter fraud thing in the courts despite losses upon losses. >> kudos to mr. sterling for speaking out. he said i was a republican and supported president trump. >> the republican infrastructure there has all said this state went to joe biden. >> if the senate would speak up the way they're doing on the local level. >> it's almost beyond words. i want to get to breaking news out of southern california. there's a fast-moving brush fire threatening more than 21,000 people just south of los angeles. powerful winds pushed the bond fire to burn more than 1500 acres in orange county in a number of hours.

jonathan vigliotti is tracking the wildfire for us. >> reporter: good morning to you. you can see how the wind here is driving these flames deeper into this canyon. take a look at this plume of smoke. we're talking about wind gusts up to 70 to 80 miles per hour with embers flying everywhere and sparking new fires. where we are in this canyon, pretty remote, but on the other side of it several neighborhoods. it's unclear at this point how many people were forced to evacuate in the middle of the night. the bond fire was sparked last night by a house fire. it's unclear how that fire started because the power here was turned off as a preventative measure to prevent flames like this from starting. another fire just south of here in san diego started overnight. it was quickly put out. the focus today, operations here on the bond fire, 2,000 acres and burning. zero percent containment. this has been an historic wildfire season here in the state of california. more than 4 million acres and that number growing this morning. the red flag warnings in effect through saturday with high wind

gusts expected for several days. gayle? >> boy, special thanks to jonathan vigliotti who jumped out of the car and shot that and jumped back in the car and left. when you look at that, he's breathing all of that. very dangerous situation. >> very scary moment. heck of a report. ahead, after being grounded for 20 months, american airlines prepares to resume regular passenger flights of the boeing 737 max. we'll take you on board a demonstration flight to show you so you can see exactly what has

two youth ministers in 2000. he is pleading to be taken off death row. you might expect that. you don't expect one of the prosecutors that helped put him on death row, five jurors that voted for death now say don't give it to him. gary mcclung is one of the jurors that voted for death for brand on bernard in 2000. it is hard. he felt even then that death was too harsh. >> reporter: why didn't you vote against the death penalty then? >> i just always struggled i guess, especially at that time in my life, standing on my convictions and i regret that now. the death penalty is far too harsh for his level of involvement in this crime. >> reporter: kim kardashian west agrees. the reality tv star has successfully lobbied president trump in the past on criminal justice reform issues. she tweeted while brandon did

participate in this crime, his role was minor compared to that of other teens involved, two of whom are home from prison. >> impart of this travesty. >> reporter: that's the former prosecutor, angela moore. she successfully fought off an appeal by brandon bernard to have the conviction and sentence overturned. you went from arguing he should be executed on behalf of the government to now making a case to say he should not be executed. what happened? >> the legal reasons aside from my own personal beliefs is the evidence and what we found since. mr. bernard did not shoot and kill the victims in this case. he was not the person who planned this robbery gone wrong. >> reporter: why didn't you speak up then? >> first of all, it wouldn't have mattered. the federal government when

you're a prosecutor, you are not allowed to concede error. >> reporter: the u.s. attorney that runls the office where angela moore used to work told us she provided inaccurate information and if the law and or facts establish reversible error, they will concede the error. for the last 20 years, brandon bernard has sat on death row for being an accomplice in the murders of todd and stacy bagley. he has counselled at risk youth on the outside. they set up a website to make his case for clemency. >> i can't imagine how they feel about losing their family and i wish that we could all go back and change it. and i'm sorry for all of the pain i caused. >> reporter: make no mistakes about it, brandon bernard is not an innocent man, but the evidence shows he was not involved in the planning of the horrendous murders of the bagleys. they were youth ministers

carjacked, abducted and shot. fellow gang member, the shooter, was executed in september. brandon who was 18 at the time of the crime set the car on fire with the bodies inside the trunk. prosecutors told the jury stacy bagley died because of the fire that brandon bernard started and they asked the jurors to give him death for that reason. >> best i remember, that was the reason for the death penalty for brandon bernard. >> reporter: that is what swayed you? >> yes. >> reporter: after the trial, an independent medical examiner hired by the defense determined one may reasonably conclude miss bagley was medically dead before the fire. >> is this new interpretation of the evidence overwhelming enough to where you say he should not have the death penalty? >> oh, definitely, definitely. the fact that brandon was

youthful and an accomplice, those are potent reasons that support mercy in this case. >> reporter: for 20 years, rob owen fought to get brandon bernard off death row. >> the jury was 11 whites, one african-american member. the crime involved a group of black teenagers committing a crime against two white victims. those are dynamics which historically have been associated with pressure to return a death sentence. >> reporter: the jurors at bernard's sentencing were told he would likely be violent in prison. but a former warden says the opposite is true. his record of zero infractions, said he would function exceptionally well in a less restricted environment without posing any risk. >> he should not be executed ever. it is barbaric, who ahorrific, e does not deserve it. >> reporter: the mother of todd

bagley, one of the victims, quoted as saying i believe when someone deliberately takes the life of another, they should suffer consequences for their actions. there's only one person that can save the life of brandon bernard, the president of the united states. brandon is set to be executed in seven days. gayle? >> david, we asked that question at the table. is the president of the united states the only one that can save brandon at this point, you're saying yes. the only one. thank you very much. that's a very complicated story, he not innocent but also pointed out he didn't shoot, fire the fatal shots, wasn't involved in planning. i don't know. you listen to that, you see other people have done more. >> other countries don't have the death penalty, canada, mexico. that's the bigger question. >> yeah, should we execute people. >> especially when it looks like you could be executing someone that didn't do what he is accused of doing at this particular time.

the norway spruce seems to have had a serious makeover since it arrived. when it first came, some thought it looked a little sad. social media voices said it seemed to be a perfect metaphor for the year 2020. when i saw it last night, i got a lump. i so crave normalcy. it looked so pretty. >> i know it was on a different network. i got nervous when they said three, two, one, like that clark griswold moment. was it going to go on. >> they had to do it differently this year, you have to have passes to go, don't want crowds gathering. >> i am very happy to see it. >> gayle, you'll like my talk of the table. you may recall, i struggle to pronounce some of the most popular artists on the spotify play list. >> i don't remember that. >> that was earlier in the week. don't need to recall it in detail. it did happen. thought it might be fun to show

what spotify says are my top artists, songs i listen to most. i should point out, before i reveal the list, my number one genre is folk rock. number two is country. >> i love country. >> without further adieu. >> i can tell you what you listen to. >> amazing. i am transfixed. >> they told me, looked at my play list for 229 hours over the whole year, my household. these are the five artists that we listened to most in the household. the beatles. george strait. harry styles, velvet underground, country rock. >> shocked by velvet underground and george strait. >> when i cook dinner, i have a play list of 50 number one country songs from george strait, i go right through them

famously flopped with critics and bothered coppola. >> you said the film isn't just a disappointment, a failure of heartbreaking proportions. >> same thing on the apocalypse. i had reviews saying it is the greatest movie disaster in 40 years by an important critic. i said is it really the worst movie made? i was heartbroken. >> tony says i am a front for the foundation. >> some of the most vicious criticism of "the godfather part iii" was aimed at daughter sophia. >> my daughter, mary corleone. >> he cast her after winona ryder dropped out. sophia's performance was widely hammed. one critic called her hopelessly amateurish. >> you know, you haven't kissed me hello yet. >> when the film came out, the bullets sophia got were meant for me just as in the story

ironically. >> when she got the bullets, how did you feel? >> they went after what i loved most, which was my kids. my wife was very upset. people like diane keaton said how could you let francis do that to her, just opening her up. incidentally all those people, including diane, that saw the new film said sophia was very vulnerable and beautiful in the movie. what was the fuss about. >> after we make the move to nevada, break off the coral leo family. >> casting the films from the start. >> the studio in the beginning with the first film didn't want to you cast pacino. >> that's right. because he was short, not a typical, wasn't a handsome guy like robert redford. i met pacino, when i read the book, saw his face. when you see someone's face in a part, hard to get it out of your head. i had no power, money, no real clout, but i had my convictions. >> winner, francis ford heirst c

successes, he resisted revisiting the corleones. >> how did they convince you to make the third film. >> i lost the studio i had, i was in bankruptcy, losing my vineyard, i was in terrible financial distress. >> it was an offer he couldn't refuse. and "the godfather part iii" did receive seven academy award nominations. three deck iades later, he feele finally got it right. >> it was like pulling on the thread of a sweater that annoyed you, then you end up reknitting the whole sweater. if the audience does not understand what's going on, it is hard for them to be emotional about it. >> and he says the new version vindicates his daughter, now an award winning filmmaker herself. >> have you shown sophia the new cut? >> i showed all the cast the new

cut. she didn't want to see it, but she thought the whole thing was better. i can't watch it without breaking in tears at the end. not only is it my child i am seeing, but see a man's soul die. >> in the climactic scene, mary corleone takes a bullet aimed for her father. it is the kind of epic film making to which coppola always aspired. >> when it works, when an audience comes alive with a film you remembered all your life, i will remember going with george lucas to see "lawrence of arabia" together. our mouths were open, changed forever. we were in love with cinema, wanted to make beautiful cinema like that. >> are you happy now that you have redone the last godfather film? >> i find it a moving film, and concept of what the story is,

very intriguing, very original. i of course hoped, wish and dream to make a last big film. >> you're not done yet? >> i don't feel i am, no. >> i hope he is not, you know. i hope there's another big film for him. this film by the way, he made it better. it is easier to follow. the beginning has been changed significantly, he tweaked the end, moved some scenes around. and sophia coppola's performance actually is fine. >> it is fine. better than fine actually. i saw it way back in the day, now i want to see it again. i love when you see people of this stature, that was furtherful ahurtful and painful when you come after my children. it was raw human emotion. to see him and george lucas. >> they were friends. such good friends that when he was in that financial distress, coppola told me george lucas offered to buy the vineyard from

him and hold it until he got back on his feet. didn't end up having to happen. >> that's a friend. >> he said that's a friend. >> i like what you said, they directed criticism at sophia to get to him. which as a dad would be painful. >> he took it personally. >> now you say he has done it justice again. >> you know, is it as great as one and two, no. but still a really good film. it is hard to top the first two. that was a big part of the problem back in the day, expectations were so high. >> i loved godfather one. never seen a movie like it. >> the death of michael corleone available in select theaters tomorrow, on blu-ray, digitally on amazon december 8th. hear more of my con his family

pseudonym. and leaves funny fake customer fake reviews like did you draw this in the dark with your eyes closed? >> tongue in cheek thing about the business and become a portrait artist. >> when people offered to pay for pet portraits, he asked them to donate to a local homeless charity. >> end local homelessness. >> he raised more than $45,000 so far. >> why do you think people like the drawings so much? >> i don't know. i mean, i think the honest answer, they make people smile. so there's not a lot to smile about at the moment. >> one man turned the drawing into a tattoo. >> they have not come back from that. it was a terrible picture as well. i guess it was his dog. >> he may not be the best artist in the world, but might be one of the fastest. we watched him sketch a cute puppy named scott. and this police dog from

henderson, texas. >> how old do you think you're going to keep going? >> right now, i can't see it stopping. so forever. i don't know about forever, that's a long time. >> but the doodling dad says if he can keep lifting spirits, raising money for a good cause, he won't put down his pencils anytime soon. for "cbs this morning," rocks and a saberi, england. >> what a nice surprise. that's what you call puppy dog eyes. >> his drawings have real personality. they have a personality. hardest to achieve. you could make a better likeness, but to put the personality in is special. >> what he said that strikes a chord, it makes you smile. the one with the dog with the tongue hanging out.

>> i like the cross-eyed dog. very nice. >> nicely done. i also sketched a few things to get my older son interested in drawing. didn't turn out the same way. didn't get the $400 per picture payment. that's wonderful. beautiful thing. >> we'll be right back. stick with us.
