7:00 am
of coit tower as it prepares to reopen. beware if you are heading there of good morning to our viewers in the west, and welcome to "cbs this morning." it's thursday, june 17th, 2021. i'm anthony mason with tony dokoupil. gayle king is off, so adriana diaz is with us. president biden's historic summit with vladimir putin ends with promises of cooperation but no breakthroughs. why it could take months for meaningful results to emerge. extreme heat in the west is putting millions in danger and threatening the power supply in several states. the urgent warnings from officials and how climate change is playing a part. first on "cbs this morning," a new lawsuit accuses the website pornhub of knowingly
7:01 am
profiting of videos of underage girls and victims of sex trafficking. we'll talk with two women about what they experienced. and the new movie "in the heights" is about the new york neighborhood where i was born. we take a walk there with the film's writer to learn about the challenges of honoring a community. first, here's today's "eye opener," your world in 90 seconds. there is clearly not in anybody's interest. your country's or mine for us to be in a situation where we're in a new cold war. >> reporter: president biden's warning if russia attacks america's infrastructure again, the u.s. will retaliate. stepped oututside and it's like a different world. >> reporter: the western part of the u.s. is sweltering. record-breaking temperatures -- >> there's a lot of heat, that does continue. >> reporter: texas governor greg abbott formally announced that his state will build its own border wall. [ applause ] >> reporter: the house of representatives voted to make june 19th juneteenth, a federal
7:02 am
holiday marking the end of slavery. >> finally gives recognition and voice to those who suffered. >> reporter: china has launched its first crew to its new space station. all that -- >> reporter: an explosion at a gas station in southern russia. >> reporter: no reports of anyone having been killed in this. and all that matters -- [ applause ] >> president biden brought a gift for his russian counterpart. he gave putin a pair of custom aviator sunglasses. >> now i can do two impressions with one prop. [ applause ] come on, jack. i will murder you. [ laughter ] on "cbs this morning." >> you famously told him he didn't have a soul. do you now have a deeper understanding of him after this meeting? >> thank you very much. [ laughter ] >> unbelievable. only one way that clip could get
7:03 am
any better. >> you famously told him he didn't have a soul. >> okay, thank you very much. ♪ this morning's "eye opener" is presented by progressive -- making it easy to bundle insurance. oh, man. that is rich. >> that was the perfect use of the sunglasses. >> i like it. i was going to say "future so bright you got to wear shades." maybe not judging by president biden's -- >> we'll see about the future. >> we will see. that's where we're going to begin -- welcome to "cbs this morning." we begin with what's next for the u.s. after president biden's historic meeting in geneva with russian president vladimir putin. the president is now back at the white house after a week overseas that ended with yesterday's summit. mr. biden says he did accomplish his goal of restarting diplomacy with a major adversary of the united states. it's not yet clear if any measurable progress was made on issues like election interference and cyberattacks. ed o'keefe is in geneva for us. good morning to you. the two men spoke for hours. what do we know about what came
7:04 am
out of it? >> reporter: good morning, tony, from the city of peace. the local paper here with a big photo about the summit on the cover. [ speaking foreign language ] the truce of geneva. whether or not it will be one remains to be seen. it appears the two leaders made modest progress, agreeing to allow their ambassadors to go back to moscow and washington. beyond that, it could be months before it's known whether the summit was worth it and whether russia changes its behavior. >> i did what i came to do. >> reporter: returning to the white house, president biden seemed pleased after his three-hour summit with russian president vladimir putin. >> the tone of the entire meetings, good, positive. >> reporter: the two leaders emerged with some potential compromises. they plan to start a strategic dialogue on the future of nuclear weapons and discussed the fate of american prisoners being held in russia. >> translator: the question about american citizens that
7:05 am
were in russian prisons, we discussed that. there could be some compromise. >> i'm not going to walk away on this issue -- >> reporter: the two signaled they're still at odds over issues like cybersecurity and human rights. putin has a history of quashing dissent and jailing political enemies like opposition leader alexei navalny, who's been imprisoned for months. putin refused to even utter navalny's name. >> translator: this person knew that he was breaching the laws effective in russia. >> reporter: while the president warned of what could happen if navalny dies in prison. >> i made it clear to him that i believe the consequences of that would be devastating for russia. >> reporter: putin also said political dissent in his country could lead to what he called america's disorder, slamming everything from gun violence -- [ chants ] to the black lives matter movement. >> translator: what we saw was
7:06 am
disorder, destruction, violations of the law, et cetera. >> reporter: and he equated arresting political protesters with the arrests of rioters at the january 6th capitol attacks. >> that's a ridiculous comparison. they're very different criteria. >> reporter: putin also refused to acknowledge russia's role in recent cyberattacks on american critical infrastructure. >> i think just throwing out these insinuations at the expert level, that's inappropriate. >> reporter: mr. biden said he gave putin a list of 16 u.s. infrastructure sectors like energy and water systems and airports that he says are off limits to attacks. >> if in fact they violate these basic norms, we will respond. >> reporter: president biden said the world will find out within a few months if any of putin's promises will hold, but he lost his temper when asked why he seemed confident that putin could change his behavior. >> what do you do -- when did i say i was confident? >> reporter: he later apologized. >> i shouldn't have -- shouldn't have been such a wise guy with the last answer i gave.
7:07 am
>> reporter: now that he's back in washington, the president faces significant domestic challenges, especially the fate of his massive infrastructure proposal. before he left here last night, he said he hasn't seen the details yet of a significant bipartisan proposal that's picked up big support overnight on capitol hill. anthony? >> ed, thank you. we're joined by ian berman, president and founder of eurasia group. he's covered russia for three decades. ian, good morning. you call the biden/putin summit a modest success. how so? >> well, i mean, incredibly low expectations, let's keep that in mind. nothing blew up as you just said, the ambassadors have been reinstated. you now have consultations on issues like cybersecurity and arms control that are going to go forward. russia is a power in decline, but they are the largest nuclear power in the world along with the united states. we haven't fixed that problem.
7:08 am
we used to engage with them seriously when they were the soviets on arms control. we weren't doing that over the past years. we need again now. that's a useful thing. but i'm not very optimistic. never mind biden's lack of confidence, i'm quite skeptical that we're going to make progress with the russians on cyber, for example, the most important challenge that the two countries have right now. >> why are you skeptical about getting putin's cooperation on the cyber issue? >> a couple reasons. first because putin in the press conference, complete denial that there was any involvement or anything that the kremlin had to do with the issue. secondly, the fact that i think that biden's willingness to engage in serious deterrents and make the kremlin pay for the cyberattacks, the ransomware attacks that are hitting the u.s. companies and companies around the world, just not in russia, with reckless abandon, i don't think russia thinks it's credible. in other words, i don't think we have to wait for a couple months
7:09 am
to see what the russian response is going to be. i think over the coming weeks you're going to see a lot more ransomware attacks including against critical infrastructure. then the question is not going to be did they have a meeting that was useful, the question is how is biden going to respond given that meeting, and will the americans be able and willing to make the kremlin pay a price that makes them pay attention. right now, words are not going to get president putin to behave in a way that the international community would find acceptable. that's pretty clear. >> so you don't expect putin to cooperate. what -- what are you -- is this a win for putin in some way, this summit?o cf1 o >> he wanted the meeting a lot more than the americans did. his country is in decline. around his region they're losing influence with governments everywhere in part because of mass dissent and support for liberal democracy in places like belarus, for example, and ukraine and moldova, the
7:10 am
baltics. in part because the chinese are vastly more influential in places like central asia. so putin's position is horrible. he really wanted to be seen on that global stage with biden. the russian state media portrayed that as a win. having said that, because the u.s. had the stronger hand, biden ensured that the meeting went the way he wanted it to. putin showed up first. biden's the one that came after. biden gave the last word in the press conference. the optics were favorable to the united states, that's helpful. >> all right. thank you very much. and this morning, a brutal heat wave in the west enters its sixth straight day. more than 45 million americans face dangerous conditions. the heat is likely to break high temperature records from california to iowa. cbs news meteorologist and climate specialist jeff berardelli is here. jeff, heat, drought, and fires are a bad combination. >> and we have all of that during the day today. good morning, everybody. let's take a look at those
7:11 am
numbers today. 114 in las vegas. 10 in fresno. it is the paekt of the heat wave along -- peak of the heat wave along the west coast. no picnic in denver but cooler around 94 degrees. the dome of high pressure is sinking air causing stagnation. very poor air quality. you can actually see some of those fires and that smoke. at the same time, this is initiating the monsoon, the monsoon causes popup thunderstorms, and the potential for dry lightning. so watch out, that's the perfect recipe for fires during the day today. on top of really bad drought, 27% of the west right now covered under the worst type of drought, exceptional drought. the record's only 11%. this is off the charts. combined heat and drought is five times more likely now than it was due to human-caused climate change. and we are watching the potential for some flooding along the gulf coast because of a developing tropical system in the gulf of mexico. >> dire picture there, jeff. thank you. critics of texas governor greg abbott say he's playing
7:12 am
politics with his proposal that the state build its own border wall. yesterday he said texas would spend $250 million on a down payment for the project. but the governor's plan announced at the state capitol is still light on specifics. it's not clear if it's legal. mireya villarreal is in austin. the federal government originally estimated its border wall would cost more than $21 billion. so can the state afford this? >> reporter: good morning. the reality is right now the governor just doesn't have those details. he doesn't know how long this project will take or how much it will cost. he doesn't even know how much of this texas border wall can actually be built. what he does know is in addition to that $250 million taxpayer dollars that have already been set aside, they will crowd source, crowd fund this border wall. he's actually asking people to send in donations here to the state capitol in austin. a lot of people feel like this is a political move, and for the people that we have spoken to,
7:13 am
that live along the border, they say this is very frustrating. and they are already exhausted by all of the immigration politics that has been going on for a while. >> i'm 76 years old, and i've seen migrants all my life coming through. >> reporter: the cazazos family has owned this land along the border for generations. when we visited in 2019, they were battling the federal government to keep their land intact. since then they've lost 6.5 acres. >> it's very easy to be sitting in your living room and say, yeah, build the damn wall. they're not losing anything. we're losing. >> reporter: on wednesday, texas governor greg abbott demanded the federal government return land that was supposed to go toward trump's now-defunded federal wall so texas can use that land and build a wall of its own. >> the federal government has a legal responsibility under the federal immigration laws to do
7:14 am
it. but because they are not doing it, texas taxpayers are having to step up so that we as a state can protect our citizens. >> he sees a real opportunity here to be a national republican leader on this issue. >> reporter: patrick svitek covers politics for "the texas tribune." he says abbot may have his eyes on a presidential run in 2 024. is this about billinger political as operations? >> i think it was him taking his most drastic academies to show to republican primary voters that he is the person who wants to in some ways continue the legacy of donald trump. >> reporter: in four years the trump administration only managed to build 52 miles of new structures on the border with some sections costing as much as $46 million per mile. how do you respond to people who say this is more of a political ploy? >> anyone who thinks this is politics doesn't have a clue what's going on in the border.
7:15 am
>> it's political theater. that's what it is. i'm not for open borders. the problem is in the united states. until you can reduce the demand for illegal immigration and illegal drugs, this is going to continue. >> reporter: not only are the details of this project unclear, the legal aspect of it is unclear, as well. the biden administration pulled funding for the federal border wall just last week. right now it seems governor abbott's plan is in direct contrast with federal immigration laws. legal experts we have spoken to say that right now in the past, supreme court has largely sided with the federal government when it comes to immigration enforcement. >> lot of unknowns remain. thank you very much. the european union is getting ready to end pandemic-era restrictions on visitors from the united states. the eu ambassadors yesterday agreed to consider allowing nonessential travel for american tourists, even those who are not vaccinated. erroll barnett is at washington's reagan national airport for us. good morning. when might this happen?
7:16 am
>> reporter: hey there, good morning. well, not soon enough -- tomorrow eu ministers will meet and signal they will approve americans and folks from seven other countries and territories to get free rein in the eu. take a look at this map. we can show you that folks from these areas will be able to travel throughout europe without having to quarantine, and non-vaccinated americans may be part of this deal, as well. now we should note that each 27-member state can add its own restrictions in addition to what they're about to do. things like a negative covid test or that you have to be vaccinated, and as much as it breaks my heart, england and the uk not a part of this deal because they're no longer part of the eu. they've got their own complicated rules to follow. >> good point. why would eu countries recommend lifting restrictions at this particular moment in time? >> reporter: well, you have a number of things happening at once. a europe-wide effort to restore tourism, $400 billion lost last year because of the restrictions over the summer and into this year.
7:17 am
you also have airlines wanting to restore international travel. it's one segment of the sector that has not met pre-pandemic levels. plus, these increased vaccination rates in the us and in the eu. one other tool they have now in their arsenal is this green digital certificate the eu has developed, and it effectively proves that you've been vaccinated, that you've had a negative covid test, or that you've recovered from the coronavirus. each of these tools now are in place so that the eu effectively thinks, hey, maybe it's time to get the band back together again. tony? >> maybe it's time. thank you very much. america's about to get its first new federal holiday in decades. yesterday congress passed a bill to give june 19th that designation in honor of juneteenth, the day in 1865 when black texans finally learned they were free. that's more than two years after the emancipation proclamation. 94-year-old texas activist on,
7:18 am
ball lee has been pushed for this her whole life. here's how she reacted when the house passed the bill. >> the bill is passed! [ cheers ] >> i've got so many different feelings all gurgling up here. i don't know what to call them all. i'm so delighted to know that finally we've got a juneteenth bill passed. >> that is amazing. so many people feel that way. this will be the first new federal holiday since martin luther king jr. day was established in 1983. president biden is expected to make it official later today with opal lee watching. >> love her reaction. boy. >> such a long time coming. >> i hope we get another reaction video from her. >> yeah. that was really special. ahead, three chinese astronauts blast into orbit. why this morning's first manned mission to a new space station is also a challenge to
7:19 am
7:20 am

7:30 am
♪nenew york, nenew york♪ ♪new w york♪ welcome back to "cbs this morning." and first on "cbs this morning," a new lawsuit accuses a company behind one of the world's most popular pornography websites of running a criminal enterprise. pornhub markets itself as a mainstream site for adult content, attracting 130 million users a day which, by the way, is reportedly more than netflix or amazon. cbs news has learned more than 30 women are now suing pornhub's parent company mindgeek. they accuse it was exploiting them for profit, hosting and promoting graphic videos of rape, revenge, even child porn all in an effort to drive up revenue.
7:31 am
only on cbs news, we spoke with some of the women who are joining the lawsuit. we've changed their names to protect their identities, and we should warn you, some of this report includes graphic language. >> i was making really good grades. i had friends. i was in clubs. i -- i thought i was set up really nicely at the college i was at. >> reporter: isabella agreed to speak with us only on the condition that she be able to wear a disguise. as she described in often painful detail how a private nude video she had shared years ago with a high school boyfriend became public when it was posted to pornhub. >> immediately i knew it was me. my face -- my outfit. immediately. >> reporter: that's got to be shocking. >> my heart dropped into my wh anonymously. is there any possibility that pornhub tried to contact you to
7:32 am
confirm your age? >> no, they did not. >> reporter: to confirm that it was consensual? >> they did not. >> reporter: they didn't? >> they did not. >> reporter: how many people saw it? >> over 200,000. >> reporter: 200,000 people. >> yes. including everybody at my college pretty much. just knowing that that many people saw it really messed me up. >> reporter: what is that feeling? >> shame. and guilt because i feel like i did it to myself. >> reporter: even though you know you didn't. >> it's taken me a long time to come to terms with the fact that i am a victim of something. >> reporter: and she's now trying to protect other potential victims by telling her story and suing pornhub's parent company mindgeek. the lawsuit on behalf of more than 30 women accuses the company of embracing underage, nonconsensual, and pirated content to drive traffic to the dozens of porn sites it owns and
7:33 am
claims it profit from content produced through human trafficking. lawyer michael bowie represents the women taking on mindgeek. he says the company skirted the rules of the traditional porn industry by allowing anybody to upload videos without first verifying age or identities. >> the law prohibits what they're doing. the law has not been enforced. >> reporter: he spent the past year building a civil case against the company, citing racketeering laws ordinarily reserved for mobsters and drug gangs. their image is they're a friendlier cleaner part of the porn industry. what's the reality? >> that's a front. this is an organization that deals with legitimate porn of which there is a -- you can make a fortune. but that wasn't enough. they incorporated into that business child porn, traffic porn, rape videos, to make money. >> reporter: nearly half the
7:34 am
women in the lawsuit say they were underage when videos uploaded to pornhub. another woman who appeared in a video tagged "sleeping pills" told us she was drugged and raped by her ex-husband who filmed the assault and uploaded it to pornhub. and then there's aubrey. >> i will never, ever be able to recover the emotional pain that this has caused me. >> reporter: her ex-husband faces criminal charges for secretly recording a video of them having sex and posting to pornhub without her consent. >> everybody had seen everything about me. and that's just -- it's a very private moment. and it's a very vulnerable moment. and it's just -- it's hard to come to terms with that the world has seen that. >> reporter: yet people continued to see it even after aubrey contacted pornhub to remove the video. emails reviewed by cbs news show a company representative
7:35 am
challenged her, asking "how do you know this is you?" >> i told them it's me, and i'm mad that it's up there. and that i recognize myself, i recognize my bed. it's me. and they need take it down immediately. >> reporter: and did they? >> no. >> reporter: the process took days. but even after, p they took dow the video, copies popped up on other sites. >> i find it reuploaded with a different name. >> reporter: just by other people. >> yes. it was -- it would constantly show up on these websites. >> reporter: when did you leave the company, and why did you leave the company? we spoke over the phone with a former company executive who provided information included in the lawsuit. he says illegal content was viewed as being good for business. he disguised his voice to protect his identity. how would mindgeek the company benefit from illegal content on the site? >> if you offer everything on the site, there was something for everyone. the more you have, the better it is. for all the free sites like
7:36 am
pornhub, more content is always better. >> reporter: he said when content was flagged on pornhub, mindgeek often moved it to other sites it owned. >> they removed content but removed content popped up again and again. >> reporter: mindgeek announced changes removing millions of unverified videos, banning downloads, and adding an i.d. requirement for people posting videos. changes company executives addressed earlier this year in a government hearing in canada. >> sexual material and child abuse material has no place on our platform. it makes us lose money. it completely ruins the brand that we have been trying to build for over a decade. >> reporter: if you could address the ceos, the executives at pornhub and tell them what this experience is like from this side, what would you tell them? >> how would they like it if it was someone they loved? their child, their -- you know,
7:37 am
their sister. they've got to take steps to prevent this from ever happening to anybody ever again. >> so mindgeek executives declined our request for an interview. but in a statement to cbs news, the company said, "any suggestion that the company tolerates illegal content is patently false." adding that it has enacted "the most comprehensive guards in user generated history." mindgeek began reporting cases of suspected child abuse material to the national center for missing and exploited children. they started doing this for the first time just last year. it made 13,000 of those reports. the center says that victims and survivors continue to express frustration with mindgeek's record in removing aabusbusive content. this is key, the company still does not confirm the consent of everyone who appears in the videos posted to the site. >> that's the critical point it seems to me. it's like -- if you have a video that's suspect at all, i mean, how do you know that the people
7:38 am
who were involved in it agree to it being there? >> very good question. and mindgeek only made these changes after a big op-ed in december. and the -- the remaining question is whether the laws that currently govern the traditional videotape and dvd porn industry will be passed by congress and made to apply to these hosting sites like pornhub. >> it's just so outrageous. it is so hurtful. these poor women are going to hopefully not, but many will live with this for rest of their lives. you know, when one of the women said i feel shame and guilt like i brought this on to myself, i thought it was important that you said, "but you didn't," you know that, right? it's one threatening to know that intellectually -- one thing to know that intellectually but to feel that inside. this is so damaging. i'm glad you did the story. >> what i walk away haunted by is something aubrey told me which is when she found her video that her ex-husband had uploaded, there were many other women there on the site, as well, that he had filmed.
7:39 am
so there are a lot of women out there who don't dough that they were there for years and may still be. >> this is the tip of the iceberg. all right. coming up, china sends its first crew of astronauts to its own space station. why nasa may need to get ready for a new space race. you're watching "cbs this morning." my namame is moniqique, i'm m, and i'i'm a fedederal contrat invevestigator.. as a siningle parentnt, i would rurun fromom football l games to w k and tryiying to balalance it a. so, whatat do you sesee whwhen you looook at yoursel? i see a person that's caring. sometimes i care too much, and that's when i had to learn to put myself first, because e i would cacare abouout everyonene all the t e but i'm m just asas they are.e. botox® cosmetic c is fda appppd to tempoporarily make frorown lines,, crow's feeeet and forerehead ls lookok better. the effectcts of botoxox® cosmc may spspread hoursrs to w weeks afterer injection, causining serious s symptoms. alalert your d doctor righghty as diffificulty swallowing, speakiking, breaththing, eye problelems, or mususcle weakns

the words you use, hold back, is one. we start in a different place. we start generally with poorer educational institutions, poorer health care, less food or bad food. all of the starting points that launch you into life are scarce if you live in poverty. safety, comfort, those types of things. that's one set. the other is that there are people who have power today who prefer to keep it, and the institutions and the structures and the processes that we use to govern, to make decisions, to choose, are all based on a historic look and feel. that's generally the white male look and feel. don't get me wrong. i like white males. it's just that right now -- it's always been, but now it's pretty obvious that the world has been tilted in their favor for a very long time. we have to adjust it a bit to make it more of a, quote,
