on the runway, clearly on fire after a very hard landing. in another view, there is a big explosion in the fuselage and shortly afterward, you can see the aircraft still smoking, its wing ripped off and flipped over. and the emergency chutes are all fully deployed. emirates airline says all 282 passengers and 18 crew were safely evacuated. airline crews are trained to evacuate this kind of plane in a minute and a half. now, we have been in touch with aviation experts here in london and they tell us that there appears to have been strong wind and blowing dust in the area when the plane was on its approach and it looks like the landing was hard enough to have actually snapped off the landing gear which takes some doing on a boeing 777. but as i said, still no word exactly what went wrong and when on that final approach. gayle? >> it's just good to know after looking at those pictures
7:05 am
everyone survived. thank you. more dramatic video shows the flames shooting from the plane after it crashed. accidents involving this particular jet are rare. kris van cleave looks at the plane and the circumstances of this crash. >> reporter: good morning. we expect the national transportation safety board will be involved in this investigation because the plane is a boeing 777. the first thing the investigators will look for is the plane's black boxes similar to this one and they are kept in the tail. the voice and data recorders should give investigators a clear sense what the pilots were saying as well as how the aircraft was functioning as it landed. the boeing 777 has been flying for 20 years. it has an excellent safety record. only three other so-called loss of air frame accidents and that includes one that added surface appears very similar. july 6th, 2013 a asianian airline struck a sea wall in san

7:10 am
earlier this week, he told "usa today" that if his daughter ivanka faced harassment, quote, i would like to think she would find another career or another company if that was the case. julianna goldman looks at his changing message in this controversy. >> reporter: good morning. well, on sunday, donald trump seemed to question the women who accused former fox news chief roger ailes of sexual harassment with you the prepared adjustment on trump's adjustment made after comments of eric trump here on "cbs this morning" yesterday and that sparked a fire of criticism. >> she wouldn't allow herself to be subjected to it and you should take it up with human resources and i think she would as a strong person but at the same time, i don't think she would allow herself to be subjected to that and i think a point he was making and i think he did so well. >> reporter: on twitter the backlash to eric trump's comments came quickly especially from women at the center of the ailes harassment allegations.

7:13 am
all of the criticism he has gotten from people saying you're hurting the party and you're helping hillary clinton get elected. on the other hand, if you stick with donald trump too long and you finally break, people say you didn't break for reasons 1 through 19 and then on the other hand, you also then get all of the people supporting trump who support him intensely than raging against at you. so the people who are in this unfortunate position can't move. >> what is likely to happen? nothing? >> well, at the moment, yes. a lot of hand wringing. a lot of phone calls going around saying, how do we fix this and how do we stop this? attempts to divert. attempts to break away from him and -- if you're a senate candidate in a vulnerable race you're trying to break away from donald trump. but then, ultimately, hoping somehow things get better without being able to do much to change that. >> there seem to be different levels of response to donald trump even within his own party? >> right. we should probably come up with like rings on a tree. you have the first group of people who are republicans who always not like donald trump.
7:14 am
so mccain and lindsey graham speak out, that is not surprising. then the ring of people who are paul ryan and mitch mcconnell -- remember, mitch mcconnell said he is not a credible candidate and marco rubio said a period of time where donald trump needs to show he is a credible candidate and we are in that period now. that group of republicans are supporting trump but have comments they make every once in a while. then chris christie didn't approve of the comments trump made about the khan family. that is another group. that makes this a little bit different than previous ones where the sort of usual suspects speak out. >> there is a lot of reporting that the campaign is in chaos enmany party leaders are trying to get trump to focus on substance instead of personality or policy. i mean, here is a story in all of the papers today. aetna backs off plan to bill clinto obamacare that the system is not
7:15 am
working. the dnc fired three top leadership people in chaos and seems to be no discussion from the republican side because trump is talking about all of these other things. >> it's not the chaos created that is the clock is tick onning this election and opportunities are missed that are right there. remember the gdp numbers that came out on friday weak economy is not exploited by the republicans. >> trump is not inclined to go there and sees no interest to be presidential. >> or he is very inclined to go where he wants to go. and that other things get blocked out by that. >> john dickerson, thank you so much. as i just mentioned there is a new shake-up in the democratic party over the embarrassing e-mail hack. the ceo. democratic national committee amy daisy stepped down yesterday and the chief financial operation and communications directors are out and from hacked e-mail is that appear to show they favored hillary clinton in the primary season over bernie sanders.

8:01 am
questioning trump's fitness for office. >> the apparent position on trump's position on sexual harassment comes after eric trump made comments yesterday on "cbs this morning" that sparked a firestorm of criticism. >> are we reaching that point where the building of pressure causes him to come together and say we can't go any more. >> the problem who has endorsed donald trump has worry about doing anything to help get hillary clinton elected. >> they say the settlement with iran was unrelated to the prisoner release even though they happened at the same time. >> hosting the olympics is typically a pretty great advertisement for the host city, but 63% of brazilians think hosting the games here is actually doing more harm than good. donald trump tweeted a picture of himself on his plane last night, eating kentucky fried chicken, despite the fact that the bucket was clearly endorsing bernie sanders! i'm charlie rose with gayle

king and norah o'donnell. a passenger jet carrying 300 people including six americans crash landed this morning in dub dubai. all of the passengers and crew evacuated safely. video appears to show an explosion once the emirates airplane stopped on the runway at dubai in this airport. the plane flew in from southern indiana. passengers were reportedly evacuated within 45 seconds of the crash landing. wow. thick black smoke billows from the boeing 777 and pilot was said to have told passengers during the flight there was a problem with the landing gear. cbs news has been told the landing was hard enough to snap off the landing gear. the national transportation safety board will likely be involved in this investigation. two weeks after the party convention, donald trump says he is not ready to endorse house speaker paul ryan or arizona senator john mccain in their primary fights. trump told "the washington post" quote, i like paul.
8:03 am
these are horrible times for our country. we need very strong leadership. i'm just not quite there yet. ryan used almost actually the same words in may about getting behind trump. he said, quote, i'm just not ready to do that at this point. i'm not there right now. ryan and mccain have said they back trump but in recent days, both have criticized trump's feud with the family of a fallen soldier. trump declined against last night to decline to the khan's for attacking him. he says he has the right to respond to their harsh words about him. >> new york's richard hanna is the first republican congressman across party lines to say he will vote for donald trump's opponent hillary clinton. hanna, who plans to retire at the end of his term wrote in an op-ed yesterday, quote, for me, it is not enough to simply denounce his comments. he is unfit to serve our party and cannot lead this country. president obama voiced similar pconference with singapore's prime minister yesterday. the president expressed his opinion that trump is unfit for the office and it goes beyond
8:04 am
policy differences. >> there have been republican presidents with whom i disagreed with, but i didn't have a doubt that they could function as president. i think i was right in mitt romney and john mccain were wrong on certain policy issues but i never thought that they couldn't do the job. but that's not the situation here. and that is not just my opinion. that is the opinion of many prominent republicans. there has to come a point at which you say, enough. >> well, donald trump said the president does not know what he is doing. new york city police commissioner bill bratton is one of the best known names in law enforcement. if not the best. after more than 45 years of police work, he announced his resignation yesterday. bratton will step down next month as head of the nation's largest police force to join a consulting firm. we are pleased to welcome commissioner bratton back to studio 57. >> great to be here.
8:05 am
>> i want to talk about your record but, first, you've been the top cop in boston and los angeles and twice here in new york city. you know a lot about leadership. do you agree with the president that trump is unfit? >> mr. trump scares me. scares the hell out of me, to be quite frank with you and personal opinion. i just don't get it in terms of the support for him. as a veteran, a vietnam veteran, i'm amazed that veteran groups are so charmed by him. the hot metal incident was appalling. >> why? >> the demeaning, in some respects of that most significant award to be wounded in combat while protecting your country and i've always wanted one of these. amazing. no recognition of the significance of that medal or the meaning of it. no sensitivity there. >> that is one thing. why does he scare you as a possible president?
8:06 am
>> the lack of depth on issues that the "shoot from the hip". i just watched this whole campaign and i just shake my head. again, a personal opinion. i've been in public life and public policy, law enforcement for 45 years, 48 if you include my three years in the army. and i just don't get it. >> not then to be president says bill bratton? >> that is my belief. that is my belief. >> do you know him, commissioner? >> i've known mr. trump for 20 odd years. not close. but the apartment interactive with him at different times and i know many people who are strongly supportive of them, although they have questions. but, again, it's troubling. >> it's a habit when people strike out at him, he strikes back. so -- >> a tough guy. but i don't know if he's taken a actual punch in his life.
8:07 am
i'm always amazed by people who are betrayed as tough guys or portrayed themselves as being tough. it is easy to be tough. it really is easy to be tough. it's a lot tougher being soft and understanding when you need to do soft. like the joapolicy gee to the family. what about taking something bad about you if they had that? isn't that the issue? there is no compassion there. it's all about him and never about anybody else. strange times. >> may i turn to you? >> i'd rather talk about me. >> this is a big moment. >> all of the reasons that norah cited at the beginning in terms of your experience and what you brought to policing, it somehow seems there must be some other reason you're leaving this job. because you love it. you have said you love police work. and you're leaving to go work

for a consulting firm and you say it's a career opportunity. you have a responsibility to yourself, but also you have earned the respect of people who feel like they need you here in challenging times. how did you make this decision and what is behind it? >> it's the right time for me personally. i'm 68 years of age and it's the right time for me professionally. the nypd is in excellent shape and is moving very forcefully to address all of the issues of the day, issues of race, issues of terrorism, issues of crime and dealing with all of them successfully, although it will take years on the issue of race. it's not a new york issue, it's a national issue. and so for me, i'm able to leave the department in very good shape, as referenced in all of the newspaper coverage today. clearly the right time when you go out with that type of coverage. but also the comfort level of
8:09 am
what i'm leaving behind is an extraordinary leader, jimmy o'neill, my successor. i've worked with him the last two and a half years and known him for 25 years. similar to los angeles when i left at los angeles, i was very comfortable with the line of succession was secure. and an individual who believes like i do that policing need to change and he is the right guy to continue that change. >> you came in with john miller. john miller leaving with you? >> i think you guys have to get a big net and try to pull it back in here. the same argument, charlie, that john, i think, after much criticism from the media when he took the job of counterterrorism chief two and a half years ago has proven himself to be one of the most extraordinary individuals in that area and has held his strength in the defenses of new york city and by doing that, the strength in the national defense. he does an extraordinary well job. john, in terms of making a decision when to come back to the media, hopefully, to you guys is a personal decision for him also. but that would be a loss to the

sexually harassed in the workplace. i've never interviewed one who said she was able to brush it off yaels easily. the pattern is general lower level women are afraid to speak out because they don't have another power in the organization and higher level women feel they have a great deal to lose by speaking out. the roger ailes departure from fox news is many is exceptional. this is not usually what happens. people usually stay silent and threat of a lawsuit is settled out of the public domain. >> are you worried about the comments that eric said ivanka would not let that happen to her. >> women feel to push back. >> a strong woman i think wouldn't allow herself to be sexually harassed. >> let's look at gretchen

carlson who sued roger ailes who is a mighty strong woman. look at megyn kelly in the investigation said she was also subjected to inappropriate comments which constitute sexual harassment. we know under the law, sexual harassment affects every person, not only women as jodi has written eloquently about but it could be sexual harassment woman on woman and man on man and woman on man. the usual victims are women, strong or weak. >> i guess the question, too, what donald trump said in this interview, too, that ivanka would find another career or find another company. the suggestion that it's the woman's responsibility on her own to remove herself from a situation where was she is being sexually harassed is that the right way to look at it? >> of course, it's the wrong way to look at it completely because although ivanka trump or other women who are fortunate enough to be in a financially secure

demanded hearst's wealthy family to donate food to the needy in exchange for her release. >> ransom made for $2 million to be delivered to a tax-exempt charitable organization. >> reporter: the hearst family implied and patty's release looked likely until things turned. patty pledged allegiance to her kidnappers and joined their cause. >> i see no reason to further defend my position. >> reporter: she took the guerrilla named ton that and caught on camera robbing a san francisco bank at gun ps point. the daughter of william randolph hearst woo now on an fbi wanted poster. >> i'm a soldier in the people's army. >> reporter: then over 100 days after her kidnapping, authorities finally caught up with the sla. the gun fight which played out
8:35 am
live on television before millions of viewers left six members of the group dead. but patty remained on the run. until september 1975 when authorities finally caught up with her in san francisco. >> i said don't move. and then placed her under arrest. >> reporter: a sensational trial followed. patty's lawyers argued she was brainwashed and jurors listened to hundreds of hours of testimony as they grappled with one central question -- was she or wasn't she? patty hearst or tonya? >> that is one of the questions of jeffrey toobin. author of "american heiress." >> how do you answer the question? >> the answer to the question she joined the sla. when you look at the lengths of time she was on the run and you look at the number of crimes
8:36 am
that she committed and the multiple, multiple opportunities that she had to leave. you know, we talk about one bank robbery, the famous bank robbery with the photo of the machine grandpa. she helped rob two other banks, including one where a woman was killed. she shot up personally a street in los angeles. she helped set off bombs in northern california. so the answer to the question is yes. >> was she brainwashed or was this a swedish syndrome or what was it? >> you know, i try to avoid these terms like brake brainwas and stockholm syndrome. she reacted to her circumstances. she was a vulnerable restless 19-year-old when she was kidnap and very unformed like a lot of 19-year-olds. the sla was actually good to her for the most part and she saw the world through their eyes, and saw, as that piece
8:37 am
demonstrated, that six of her comrades were killed. she didn't want that fate so she went on the run. but once she was arrested, she thought, i don't want that life any more. i want to go back to my old life and she made the rational decision to say, hey, i want to be a hearst again. >> you said in the end she became her mother. in the end when it was all over, she became her mother. during this whole time she was very critical of her mother. at one time you write in the book she said to more mom, "stop wearing black." she became very disparaging to her own parents while she was being held captive. >> sort of the remarkable thing if you follow patty hearst's life since 1975 when she was arrested, she has actually led the life for which she was d destin destined. she became a socialite and some eccentric interest and been in a couple of john waters movies. basically, she did turn into her
8:38 am
mother notwithstanding the criticism of her mother. >> the sla was a rag tag team. they had no plan and did this willy-nilly and got patty hearst after looking at her engagement photo. >> symbionese is a made-up word. they didn't liberate anything or anyone. they called themselves an army. there were, at most, a dozen people involved. so it was an incredibly disorganized, dysfunctional group of people that improvised their way along. interestingly, most of them or several of them came out of the indiana university drama program and they excelled at guerrilla theater. they liked to put on shows but they really had no judgment of what to do once they had it. >> so they captured the world's attention. >> she served less than two years in prison and president carter commuted her sentence.
8:39 am
what does this say about wealth? >> this was the remarkable part of the story. she was sentenced to seven years for the bank robbery. after a bipartisan effort by ronald reagan who was governor of california and close friend of the hearst family and congressman, wealthy people, they said to jimmy carter, please commute her sentence and he did after 22 months. 20 years later, bill clinton, on the last day of his presidency, pardoned her. she is the only person in american history to receive a commutation from one president and a pardon from another. that to me when you look at the scope of her crimes, the three bank robberies, the shootings, the bombings, that she got that sort of gifts from two presidents tells you a lot about -- >> because of her last name? >> she didn't talk to you? >> she didn't talk to me and has moved on in her life. she is now big in the dog show business. there is a photograph in there of rocket, her shih tzu, that
8:40 am
won at the westminster kennel club. >> thank you for that point! >> how much is she worth, about? >> you know, it's -- the hearst corporation did one thing that was really brilliant. in the very early days, she bought 20% of espn so she is really rich. >> "american heiress" is on sale now. coming up next is leona lewis. we will learn how she got a feel for becoming a
