7:02 am
literal hell was unleashed. >> a desperate search to find an 11-year-old boy in iowa continues and the fbi has now joined the search. >> all that, a volcano in iceland ended up costing one guy big time. his drone crashing into the molten lava. he's got 55 points. >> still it wasn't enough. >> all that matters. >> do not push bears. do not get close to bears. we're hearing from the teenager who took on one big backyard intruder. >> the bear was only trying to protect her cub and haley was trying to protect her dog. >> i pushed the bear and i was, like, oh, my god, i just pushed a bear. >> popped up, shallow right. it will be a long run and frazier makes the play to end the inning! >> yankees' frazier takes flight and gets the glove there. >> after he gets the hug in the dugout, he'll get more hugs in the 11th! >> drilled deep to left field. walk it off! a two-run home run for frazier!
7:03 am
oh, did they need that! >> this morning's eye opener is presented by progressive, making it easy to bundle insurance. what did he say? did they need that? what do you say? when you feel good you hit good. >> you make a play like that, you make the next inning and he had a very good day. >> and the yankees are divisive. i don't know if you should make highlights at the top of the show. >> unless you're a mets fan. >> we're also happy because brooklyn won last night and they're going on to the next inning. a lot of happy stuff today. welcome to cbs -- >> what's the name of our show? >> cbs this morning. >> welcome to "cbs this morning." let's try that again. the fbi is investigating another major cyber attack affecting a key part of our economy. first was a major fuel pipeline and now it's the meat industry. 13 processing plants in the country had to shut down because of the hack in jbs, the largest processing company and it has
7:04 am
dozens of brands including clear river farms, 1855 and pilgrim's. >> jbs says the vast majority of its plants will operate today, but there are still concerns meat prices could go up. jeff pegues is in washington and he's tracking the investigation. jeff, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, and this is a big deal and that is why the white house has gotten involved in this early. the white house has been in contact with jbs, a company that says it was this victim of a ransomware attack. it took immediate action once it realized that its systems were compromised and that it's doing all that it can right now to restore its systems. >> jbs is the second largest producer of beef, por and chicken in the united states, after the company told white house officials it suffered a cyber attack from hackers likely linked to rushsia, u.s. officias are asking the russian govern the for an explanation. >> this is a national security
7:05 am
issue. we have to approach it on that level? former cia director leon panetta warned in 2012 that the u.s. could face the possibility of a cyber pearl harbor attack. he says critical infrastructure systems are increasingly vulnerable. >> do you think there is a connection to the kremlin ultimately? >> i don't think there's any question. my own knowledge of the russian intelligence agencies, they basically operate in every sector within their own countries and clearly know what kind of criminal elements are involved. the russians know what the hell's going. >> in a statement, jbs said our systems are coming back online and we are not spare anything resources to fight this threat. we have cybersecurity plans in place to address these types of issues and we are successfully executing those plans. this latest incident follows last month's ransomware attack on colonial pipeline that led to
7:06 am
gas shortages in multiple states. russian hacking group dark side claimed responsibility and walked away with nearly $5 million from colonial. >> imagine if at the same time they shut down a pipeline, they shut down our food supply and they turned off the lights, what a nightmare that would be. >> exactly, and that's exactly what our adversaries would love to see. i mean, you know, we spend a lot of time protecting ourselves from these countries looking at their military capabilities. we don't spend as much time trying to defend ourselves from these cyber capabilities, but make no mistake about it, these cyber attacks represent a military weapon that is being used by our adversaries to try and weaken the united states. >> panetta is calling for a
7:07 am
comprehensive national strategy for a cyber defense. he says this idea of paying a ransom to these hackers really sends the wrong message and encourages them to target more companies. in this case, the concern was that this is something that could affect the national food supply, and ultimately raise prices at the grocery store. it is unclear, though, tony, if this company, jbs actually paid the ransom. >> unclear if they thought they had a choice. jeff, thank you very much. let's go to cbs news senior analyst security analyst fran townsend. she was homeland security adviser to george w. bush. good morning to you. let's start where jeff's piece ended with the question of ransoms. jbs, we don't know if they paid. colonial pipeline paid nearly $5 million and in 2020, $350 million was paid by other companies to clear these ransomware attacks.
7:08 am
simple question, simple answer, is it a good idea for them to pay up? >> we have a policy that we do not pay ransoms for the release of hostages. we ought to have a similar national policy here, but there need to be exceptions, right? this needs to be discretion. one, the hacks need to be notified to the federal government and they'll have a view as to whether this is an isolated incident or whether this is a broader attack and then, depending on the victim of the attack, there ought to be discretion about whether or not lives are at stake, not revenue, the ability to pay the ransom. >> if you pay it's going to keep happening. i have a question about the technology behind this. is our cybersecurity itself what's vulnerable and making our systems vulnerable or are people making simple mistakes with e-mails, and in essence, letting the bad guys in.
7:09 am
it's both. think about it here in the united states. we've gone from about 11 billion devices, and 7 billion devices in 2011 to now having 25 billion devices and the attack surfaced and the vulnerability is bigger by virtue of our connectedness and people do, it's education inside companies about clicking on e-mails and clicking on who the sender is before an opening an attachment. many of these companies have been much more focused on physical security and the gates and guards around the outside. meat packing plants are understandably focused on food security, so i don't think enough attention or money has been spent on cybersecurity. that's also for big public companies, tony, that's a problem because the boards and the management will be held responsible. >> fran, one quick question here about what the white house should do with regards to these
7:10 am
attacks. the attackers are believed to be based in russia. other attackers have been in china. how aggressive should washington be in response? >> well, as we know, president biden has a meeting coming up with vladimir putin. he's going to have to raise this. i think president biden rightly in his most recent executive order is calling for a global coalition to hold those nation states who harbor these criminals accountable and that will mean things like sanctions. i agree with secretary panetta. these become military weapons and not every deployment by a nation state is an act of war and we consistently approach these problems with foreign adversaries. we call it a wake-up call. fran townsend, thank you very much, we appreciate it. >> president biden is getting his infrastructure deal to congress and today he plans to meet with shelly moore capito. she's one of a group of senators trying to hammer out a deal.
7:11 am
they're trying to limit the size of the package and the president is appealing to democrats to back him up. weijia jiang is at the white house with more on the story. weijia, good morning to you. the question is how closer they to reaching a deal? >> reporter: good morning, gayle, they're getting closer, but not there yet. whis officials want a clear path forward on infrastructure by monday. they are worried that if a divided congress cannot reach compromise on this which has refr ref reached widespread support, they won't be able to meet president biden's a jebdza. it is $1 trillion to fix roads, bridges and rails closer to president biden's $ 1.7 trillion proposal and some things not funded in the gop package and removing dangerous led pipes and funding clean energy jobs and as
7:12 am
debate continues, president biden took a rare swipe at two members of his own party. >> i hear all of the folks on tv saying why doesn't biden get this done? well, because biden only has a majority of effectively four votes in the house and a tie in the senate with two members of the senate who vote more with my republican friends. president biden is referencing two moderate democrats, west virginia's joe manchin and arizona's kisten sinema and they are breaking with him and most democrats by opposing a corporate tax hike to pay for the infrastructure plan. the president is making moves in the arctic. the administration announced an end to a trump-era oil drilling program in alaska that is considered sacred ground by an indigenous group. it's a wild life refuge. anthony? >> weijia, thank you. the president visited tulsa, oklahoma, on the 100th anniversary of the city's 1921 race massacre, saying he had come to fill the silence.
7:13 am
>> we memorialize what happened here in tulsa so it can be -- so it can't be erased. we know here this hallowed place, we simply can't bury pain and trauma forever, and at some point there will be a reckoning, an inflexion point like we're facing right now as a nation, but many people hadn't seen before or simply refused to see, cannot be ignored any longer. >> mr. biden is the first president to visit tulsa to honor the victims of the two-day rampage by a white mob. they killed as many as 300 black people and burned their wealthy neighborhood to the ground. the president also toured the city's greenwood cultural center and met privately with three survivors now between the ages of 101 and 107. newly released body cam
7:14 am
video reveals the tense moments in the hunt for a gunman who killed ten workers in a california yard last week and then took his own life. deputies and police officers are seen here opening doors where they found the gunman. jamie yuccas shows us what happened that day. >> we need access to these doors. >> we just heard another fired shotgun here. >> the santa clara sheriff's body cam video begins just minutes after gunshots were first recorded and continued to erupt at the vta rail yard in san jose on may 26th. sheriffs described the shooter samuel cassidy as a disgruntled employee who targeted his fellow workers. officers spoke with a supervisor outside. >> are you able to open those doors? >> give me your key card. >> shortly after the five-member team entered the building, a gun shot is heard. >> oh [ bleep ]. >> the team immediately recognizes the situation is still dynamic and they drive towards the area of the gunshot. two additional gunshots are
7:15 am
heard as they approach the exit doors to the dispatch center. [ shots fired ] >> i bullet hole can be seen in the frame of the left door. evidence shows that one gunshot went through the door into the contact team. >> i have one down. >> upon entering the dispatch center. >> let me see your hands! >> they found a body slumped over a chair. the man still holding a gun in his hand. sheriff's deputies say it was the suspect killed by two self-inflicted gunshot wounds. for "cbs this morning," we have jamie yuccas. we have surveillance video of the shooting in miami-dade. it shows people gathering outside the banquet hall at a concert. a white house nissan pathfinder
7:16 am
believed to be carrying the gunmen can be seen driving around the building. later, you can see people duck and fall as the gunmen open fire. 23 people were hit and two of them were killed. police say the gunman waited in the parking lot for about an hour before the attack. authorities have also confirmed that the attackers were targeting specific people. the hunt for the three suspects continues. >> we hope they are brought to justice. >> the search for an 11-year-old iowa boy missing for six days is intensifying in the same area where molly tibbits was killed. the fbi and several hundred volunteers trying to find xavior harrelson who disappeared last tuesday. charlie is 60 miles east of des moines. good morning to you. >> so far xavior's disappearance is being investigated as a missing person's case and not an abduction, but nothing has been ruled out and investigators are using dive teams, dogs, drones
7:17 am
and even this tight-knit iowa community to try to find out what happened to him. >> investigators were at xavior harrelson's home in montezuma tuesday hunting for information about his disappearance. authorities say xavior was last seen on his bike last thursday morning wearing a red shirt, blue pajama pants and black shoes. her neighbor says she didn't see him that morning which was unusual. >> he was always outside. i'd say at least by 9:00, riding his bike or just walking in the area. that's about the time he'd start playing with my daughter. >> at this point, can you rule in or rule out foul play? >> we cannot. >> reporter: mitch is the assistant director of the iowa division of criminal investigation. >> it's been several days since he's gone miss. one of those nights it was in the 30s. as more time goes by that's troubling from your point of view. >> it is, yes. >> when it gets down into the 30s, then you're thinking
7:18 am
hypothermia. >> this weekend hundreds of volunteers searched local police to search the area for xavior. people here are still reeling from the disappearance and death of molly tibets who was last seen jogging nearly three years ago. authorities found her alleged killer on the last time xavior was seen. she's helping lead the effort to find him and first reported his disappearance. >> we said you're not stopping. >> you're not stopping. i won't stop looking for that little boy and i won't stop putting his face out there, i don't care if it's ten years from now. i don't care if it's 50 years from now. >> investigators say xavior's family is cooperating with the investigation, but they did not want to talk at this time. >> totally understandable. our thoughts are

7:31 am
good morning to you, rose and bryan. i can't imagine how worried you all must be. i thank you so much for taking the time. you know, a lot of people listening to you today, this will be the first time that they're hearing about what has happened to danny. so let's get the back story. rose, how did you first hear that he had been detained? >> i think it's nine days ago, a week ago monday morning, 7:00 a.m., my son here, bryan, called us and had received some messages early morning that -- from danny's wife in myanmar that he had been detained and couldn't get hold of her but did get ahold of one of danny's co-workers who filled him in that he was being detained, taken to the prison. that's how it all started. >> and now -- now here we are. bryan, exactly what were you -- first tell us who was he working for, how long had he been there? what exactly was he doing?
7:32 am
>> in august of 2020, he started working at frontier myanmar. he was a managing editor there. so he was at his desk editing stories, making sure the translations to english were correct. >> he's not someone who is out on the streets normally? >> no. no. he was at his desk. he was never at any protests or on the streets reporting. >> so why do you think that they decided to take him into custody? >> it's speculative right now. we're on day ten, and we don't have any confirmation of anything. it can only be assumed because he's a journalist in a country where they want to, you know, shut them up essentially, that he was detained. >> because, rose, i heard that he was at the airport, he had gotten through security. he was about to board the plane. why was he -- do you know why he
7:33 am
was deciding to come back to the states at that particular time? >> yes. to my knowledge, he was supposed to come home in july for a visit. he haven't seen him in over three years, to surprise his parents, us, my son, his niece and nephew, his 95-year-old grandmother who's a holocaust survivor. and he and my son bryan were talking, and this was a surprise to come in early like this to surprise us. heartbreaking. >> it is heartbreaking, rose, it is. you hadn't seen him in three years. it's different when you haven't seen him in three years and you know he's safe as opposed to he's coming home to surprise the family and it appear he may be in danger although we don't know for sure. what are you hearing, bryan, from the biden administration? >> we haven't spoken directly with them, but the -- we have been in contact, regular contact with the state department and the embassy in myanmar.
7:34 am
everyone's been extremely responsive to all of our requests. we're just -- there's a lack of information right now. they put in a request ten days ago for consular access for danny which they should be granted, and they have had -- they haven't even had a reply to the request yet. >> now i heard something that i -- struck me as strange, that the state department can't give you information until they get permission from danny to give you information about his status. is that true? >> that's correct. and that's to protect danny's privacy, which we understand. and unfortunately, in myanmar, there's a regime that's in power, and from our sense there's not much protocol and information and processes move very slowly. >> so what can people do to help you at this point, rose and bryan? what can -- what do you want people to do? >> keep the story alive that danny needs to be free and sent home. there's a petition that's out,
7:35 am
it's -- >> yeah, yeah. i mean, journalism is part of a thriving society, and we're trying to speak out danny's name on behalf of that cause, as well. we need this story to stay fresh in the news cycle. we don't want him to be forgotten. naturally, unfortunately, that's what happens. so we are asking people to share on their socials, we have a hash tag #bringdannyhome -- >> a web page. website. >> we have a bringdannyhome.com website, it's like a hub for everything related to this. and they can also link out to a moveon.org mission we have. again, all to raise awareness and urge the administration to make this move a little quicker. >> it's important that you speak up so he is not forgotten. rose, how are you getting through this? >> it's minute by minute with such support -- with support from my family. family and friends, community. danny's wife from myanmar.
7:36 am
just beyond the world -- this supported by being able to speak and get it out on tv, on national and on just -- just everybody's -- we feel like we're lit up and hugged by the world right now. >> yeah, it's pretty amazing. locally here, obviously our family, the nation is rallying around us. this is going on around the world. so we just are so grateful for this platform really. >> we're grateful -- >> go ahead -- >> go ahead. we're grateful that you all took the time. i heard, bryan, you said about your brother he was someone who liked to shine the light on people that needed to have their stories told. that he is an amazing journalist. we thank you for your time this morning. >> thank you so much, gayle. >> thank you. >> bye. coming up, how a government program to help families who lost loved ones to covid-19 appears to be falling short. you're watching "cbs this morning." we'll be right back.k. ♪♪ lisa h here, has h had many jo. she's woworked in reretail duduring the h holidays.

8:04 am
cvs said we're in the process of reviewing and evaluating information in and related to the petition and will respond accordingly. the maker of banana boat said we undergo rigorous testing to meet all fda regulations. our chief medical expert joins us. benzene is an ingredient not intentionally added in sunscreen. how is it ending up in more than a quarter of the sunscreens tested? >> good morning, anthony. it is not an ingredient. this is so important. there's no manufacturer that's intentionally adding it to the sunscreen product. somehow it's in there as a contami contaminant. it's not clear how. is it one of the ingredients contaminated? is it the process of making the product that somehow creates it? we're not sure. it's a one of the things the fda is going to look into.
8:05 am
>> how significant are the levels that were found in the sunscreens? >> well, remember, about 27% of the batches tested had it. 73% didn't have it. for people who are listening. it went from undetectable to six parts per million. remember that it shouldn't be in there at all. there's no reason for it to be in there, and the suntan lotion works perfectly fine without it. >> so how much would someone have to use for this to possibly affect their health? >> well, this has been described for many decades. about 100 griyears that benzene a problem. it was described in factories where people were inhaling larger amounts of it in the air over many, many years. so for people out there listening saying i use san tan lotion for many years in the past, first, we don't know if it
8:06 am
was there in the past. we need the fda to confirm it's there at a certain level and we'll give the companies the companies gave the statement saying we don't put it in as an ingredient, and we're safe. we need to have them do independent testing too and confirm the findings. >> yes. as a former floridian, i want to say skin cancer is real. the calculation is still in favor of using sunscreen. however, the fda is looking into this citizen's petition is what it it's. >> the first point is important. remember skin cancer kills thousands of people a year. you need to wear a hat and cover up and also on the website they have published a list of the various products and batch numbers. here's very important thing. listen up. there were certain brands that depending upon the batch number had either six parts per million or didn't have it at all.
8:07 am
so if you go to "cbs this morning," we'll have a link to the website and people can say what batch do i have or which ones don't have it at all and maybe until the fda and companies weigh in, we need to have people looking at that and maybe one thing to do is to say i'm going to make the decision myself based on the available information. in terms of what the fda can do, they are saying we need to have a concentration and an amount. how much can it have before it starts to increase the risk significantly? and it shouldn't be left up to a crowd sourcing function where a company like vvalisure. it shouldn't be a random process. it should be routine and part of one the companies make the products, they should be testing then. remember the fda has a lot of other things to do. they can't be out there testing
8:08 am
every one of the products. they're saying the companies should be doing the testing themselves and publish it. and that way we can try to get our arms around how big of a problem is this? think about the next problem. it may be face lotions or other things. we have to have companies doing this routinely. >> so many questions for consumers. thank you very much. for a list of the sunscreen test results, go to our website. you'll also find instructions for sending the samples of some products for testing. >> ahead, folk music icon joan baez shares why political and social activism has been an important part of
