captioning funded by cbs good morning. it is thursday, april 13th, 2017. welcome to "cbs this morning." president trump flip-flops on russia, china, and nato. a sears of statements in one day, what he said and promised throughout a long campaign. >> we are inside north korea where overnight the country's dictator put on an elaborate display to try to show the world that sanctions aren't working. and ahead of eeftd ter sunday we visit a church where the pastor mixes beyonce with the bible to fill the pews. but we begin this morning with today's "eye opener," your world in 90 seconds. >> we're not getting along with
7:01 am
russia at all. we may be at an all-time low as it relates to russia. it's been building for a long time. >> relations with russia ice over. >> there's a low level between our two countries. the world's two most nuclear powers cannot have this kind of relationship. >> the one thing you can be sure about the russians is they are never up to any good and they're not our friends. >> i said it was obsolete. it's no longer obsolete. more geopolitical trust between china and north korea. >> a little girl is almost caught in a crossfire. >> we're lucky she didn't get hurt worse. comedian charlie murphy died of leukemia. he was best known for his
7:02 am
appearances on the dave "chapelle's show." workers got traffic just in the nick of time. >> all that -- >> the cubs are showing off their world series claim. >> i feel like -- >> and all that matters. there's no job that will humble you like the white house press secretary. >> they prepare as well as possible, you're focused as possible and you see what happens when you're not. >> -- on "cbs this morning." >> we have the most beautiful piece of chocolate cake that you have ever seen and president xi was enjoying it. so what happens is i said we just launched 59 missiles heading to iraq. >> they were heading to syria. >> yes. >> wherever we bombed, the point is this was the most beautiful piece of chocolate cake. >> announcer: this morning's "eye opener" is presented by toyota. let's go places.
7:03 am
welcome to "cbs this morning." faille is off so alex wagner is with us. >> good to be here, charlie. president trump is starting new policy positions that confirms his campaign promises. in one day he said the decades-old alliance is no longer obsolete. >> the president spoke to reporters yet by nato's secretary-general. much of the back and forth focused on russia's support for see ya. major garrett is at the white house where the change was made very clear. good morning. >> good morning. unlike the secretary of state president trump does not apologize. it is clear mr. trump is reassessing what he can make of
7:04 am
the russian relationship. >> i think it's certainly possible. i think it's probably unlikely. >> president trump sidestepped when asked if russia knew ahead of time if the syrian air force was going to drop nerve gas on civilians. mr. trump left that thorny question on the doorstep of the pentagon. >> i'd like to think they didn't know. they could have. they were there. we'll find out. >> with disagreements over syria, election hack, violence in ukraine and nato hacking, the white house has almost no common ground. >> right now we're not getting along with russia at all. we may be at an all-time low in terms of a relationship with russia. >> that was not what candidate trump thought was meant to be. >> we're going to have a great relationship with putin and russia. >> donald trump wants to, think of it, befriends with them. i was saying to myself, what's
7:05 am
wrong with that. >> with russian relations on the rocks, the president has interest in nato's new-found interest to projektd faith, something he famously doubted. >> here's the problem with nato. >> i said it was obsolete. it's no longer obsolete. >> and in an interview with "the wall street journal" he said, quote, they're not manipulation hitters. that promised a rally cry. >> i'm going to instruct my praes secretary to label china a currency manipulator. >> china is a currency manipulator. >> they're like grand chess master s and we're like checker players but bad ones. >> he says the conspicuous reversal plays into china's pursuant on north's long-range possibilities.
7:06 am
it's that, not russia and syria that's pressuring the pentagon. >> a lot to keep track of. a team of chemical weapons experts have been sent to turkey to investigate the reason for the gas atags. they'll look into last week's bombing that killed more than 80 civili civilians. russia vetoed a u.n. resolution that would have pushed assad to cooperate with investigators. >> secretary tillerson left moscow last night after high talks. margaret brennan questioned tillerson what russia knew about the syrian attack before it happened. margaret, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. no cameras or press were allowed in, but we are told that secretary tillerson said the path to better relations with the u.s. should start by recognizing that assad must go. now, he argued moscow should play a lead role in forming a
7:07 am
new government to replace him, yet russia continues to reject the conclusion by u.s. intelligence that their client bashar al assad carried out last week's sarin gas attack. >> you said you believed russia was either incompetent or complicit in these chemical weapons attacks. >> we have no firm information to indicate that there was any involvement by russia, russian forces into this attack. what we do know is that the attack was planned, carried out by the regime forces at the direction of bashar al assad. >> relations with the u.s. have also been on edge because of the u.s. intelligence assessment that russia meddled in the 2016 election to benefit president trump. now, tillerson said the topic came up just briefly, but he made clear that sanctions are a possibility if russia does that ever again. charlie? >> margaret brennan in moscow. thanks, margaret. president trump is
7:08 am
reportedly considering new sanctions against korea. north korea released statements showing dictator kim jong-un watching drills. president trump indicated he may confront the north without china's help. >> i said the way to make a good trade deal is help us with north korea. otherwise we'll just go it alone, and that will be all right too. but going it alone means with lots of other nations. >> kim jong-un made a rare appearance last night. north korea called the development more powerful than hundreds of nuclear bombs. he witnessed a high-profile spectacle. ben, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. our north korean guides told us we could meet at 5:00 in the morning. we could not bring our cell phones and we could not say where we were going. by the time we got there, the
7:09 am
message was clear. on the ride we saw the north koreans preparing for the military parade and we saw people on either side of our bus. thousands of north koreans have flooded the streets for what appears to be some elaborately staged media event and security is quite tight. security was tight because north korean president kim jong-un showed up. the sea of people made it feel like the entire city was there. they at least appeared to be loving the spectacle as their leader cut the ribbon on what is called the east of the riding sun. so pervasive in north korea. last year our cameras captured the unfinished building. it's now a massive building with additional high-rises some up to 70 stores tall. constructed he said in less than a year. the quality and the demand is
7:10 am
unknown. kim jong-un didn't speak at the event, but he didn't have to. he let the building talking. his message was your sanctions don't work. we will keep building our workers. >> reporter: a new watchdog company says they are preparing for a nuclear test. president trump has sent a navy strike group steaming toward peninsula and warns all options are on the table. >> now president trump and president zxi jinping have had one phone call. they appear to be losing their patience. >> ben tracy in north korea. interesting to see that. and, of course, it is one of the biggest concerns certainly for the outgoing a ministration, the obama administration and the
7:11 am
trump team is worried about. >> everyone is wondering how close are they and how soon will they get the kind of missiles that will driven them to our coast. dan senor was an adviser to mitt romney and paul ryan. what does it say about donald trump, that he's changed on these very important issues? >> first of all, there's no real world view when it comes to donald trump's foreign policy. whether it was president bush, president obama, you go back to every single president in the area, you can prescribe some predictability. there's not one here. what it seems the administration does is it looks to problems and sa says we've got to solve them and there's no real fill ossi. i think kwhie there's a by part san consensus in the foreign policy, yo have the republicans celebrating and also democrats who served in the obama
7:12 am
administration who are praising what he's doing in syria. the reason he has this consensus is he seems to be taking a very hard line which is perplexing for politics, which is what to do about putin in russia and because he's doing that, a lot of folks are saying, you know, we don't care if he's totally upending what he said before or contra diktding himself because he's doing the right thing. >> we're talking west wing whiplash on so many issues. janet yellen, now he respectings her, wants to keep her. on china, no longer labeling them a currency manipulator, nato, no, they're no longer obsolete. does this suggest that the moderate wing of the white house, they call them globalist gary comb, goldman sachs, is winning out over to populist, steve bannon? >> i think that's part of the story there. the other part of the story is h.r. mcmaster and general
7:13 am
matusz. take syria. both mcmaster and mattis know the syrian conundrum very well. they've both worked in previous stints. they bjork worked on military plans. they had plans on the shelf during the obama administration, so their voice here is very, very important. from what i understand from folks working in the administration right now, president trump is very deferential to their expertise, particularly mattis and mcmaster. again, look at the flip on nato. why nato? nato is a tool. everybody knows putin is terrified of nato. he wants a weak nato. suddenly you view this through the lebs of trump wants to take a harder stance toward putin, nato becomes a tool. if he wants to manipulate chnor korea, it becomes a tool.
7:14 am
>> do you think they're in a different place than president obama. >> right now. you're hearing noise that putin is wonder whg or not sticking by assad is in his interest if the u.s. is going to take a hard line against putin over that issue. suddenly it becomes a liability. assad during the entire obama years was not a liability for putin. now, suddenly it is. now, if trump is anything, e's unpredictable. who knows if he'll stick with this. right now it's becoming a headache for putin. >> let me ask you about other intrigue inside the white house. the "washington post" reporting on steve bannon, the man not long ago who shadowed the president is struggling to keep his job. according to 21 aides of trump spoke with. >> very thorough reporting. >> very thorough reporting. is there a shakeup coming? >> i don't think so. i think bannon has probably been
7:15 am
weakened to some degree. from what i'm hearing, there's so much going on right now. we rattled off all the issues. the world is a mess and they realize there's a big vacuum in it. i think last thing the president wants is massive radical personnel changes. i don't see that happening soon. >> but he cannot like the idea that steve bannon had been portrayed as the genius at the white house. >> no. there's lots o reporting that this made him crazy. he's star of the show. >> dan senor, always good to have you here. thank you. former trump campaign manager paul manafort has been talked to. when the country was led by a pro-russian party. the new report shows manafort received at least $1.2 million in cash payments, something he previously denied. the developments come amid
7:16 am
revelations th s that the fbi l into with carter page. nancy cordes is in washington. good morning. >> good morning. they provided enough evidence with a secret monitoring of page and now pang is pushing back. >> i have nothing i want to hide. and the more that the truth comes out, the better. >> carter page said he didn't know why fbi investigators would have suspected him of being a foreign agent. >> it's just such a joke it's beyond words. >> but obtaining a fisa warrant to follow a citizen is no joke as james comey explained. >> those applications is as huge as my wrist or thicker. it's a huge pain in neck to get permission. >> the fbi has been aware of
7:17 am
page since 2013 when two russian agents were recorded as trying to pay page, page isn't the only former trump associate fending off questions about russia. former campaign chairman jer paul manafort has repeatedly denied he received cash payments from the ukraine's former backed regime. but the "associated press" reported wednesday it has confirmed two payouts to manafort's consulting firm that matches lines in the ukrainian ledger. it totals $2.1 million. he said it's totally misleading. >> the government of ukraine said it was a falsified document and the bureau there that is dealing with corruption said they were never investigating. >> early reports about the
7:18 am
so-called black ledger prompted manafort's departure from the trump campaign last august and the white house downplayed his involvement. >> paul manafort who played a very limited role for a very limited amount of time. >> registering would put manafort in compliance with a 1938 law that places americans on the lifts who are serving in the powers. he would follow in the footsteps of another trump member michael flynn who resigned and then signed on with the foreign ledger due to his work. the armed suspect who threatened officials is still on the run. joseph jakubowski mailed a 161-page manifesto to president trump. he stole 18 guns from a local

8:16 am
mehta trends that are going on right now that certainly auger for the explosion of digital payments of some form. first of all cash is ding advertising, so you're writing less and less checks, you're paying it more and more electronically, and really the number one reason why you're moving toward digital payments is the explosion of the smartphone. so you've got a smartphone everywhere now, and for consumers in many ways, you have all the power of a bank branch in the palm of your hand. and for retailers, everybody is shopping through their mobile phones, so that's redefining the face of retail, and those two trends are going to create explosion of digital payments. >> what's interesting to me with what's going on is the explosion of mobile phones. >> absolutely. it's disrupting one industry
8:17 am
after another. and i think, charlie, in the next five years, you ear going to see more change in the financial services industry than you've seen in the past 30 as a result. >> such as what? >> i'll give you a really important one. it's very important to paypal and very important to me. i think the smartphone is going to enable to what i call democratize financial services. if you think about it in the financial services industry, there's a saying that's very true there which is it's expensive to be poor. >> yeah. >> and many of the things that we take for granted around the table like cashing a check or just paying a bill or sending money to somebody you love is very time-consuming. you can stand in line for 30 minutes, 45 minutes just to cash a check. and then it can cost you anywhere between 2% and 5% of that check just to get cash back in your hands. >> think about all the remittances of people working in
8:18 am
the united states sending money to people elsewhere. >> it's pa of the gdp. very expensive. they take 8% to 9% of the total amount because of all the middle men in that. so i think technology can cut through that completely. that it should make payments faster, more secure, and importantly less expensive because the typical person that's underserved at financial institutions today, and that's 2 billion people in the world, over $70 million many the u.s. they spend 10% of their it is posal income on unnecessary fees and interest. if we can change that. imagine. >> it would be revolutionary. >> it would be revolutionary. >> you mention the word secure. >> yep. >> we talk every day, every week about hacking. how secure is this fraur? >> i think we should all be concerned. it's one of the pressing issues of our day.

think about it. when you're in the elevator, dams that hold our water, power grid, it's all software-based. the key to protection right now is not necessarily just building firewalls which are like these, you know, higher turrets and deep remotes. >> right. >> it's basically using data and information to spot behavior that is abnormal. so even if you sign in to paypal with your username and password, that is only one of many, many a tributes we look at to define whether it's really you. >> you're confident here. >> we're confident but there are bad guys. the key is data. to norah's point, we have $350

billion-plus come through our network, over 6 billion tractions. we look at every piece of that data and look at it and spot behavior. >> that is a lot of toivt be looking at and more in the future. dan schulman. >> thati didn't know extend moe part of paypal. that's awesome. >> it's exploding. >> quickly moving the storm front there. thank you. a baptist preacher in virginia says jesus and jay z are both important. ahead, the church that is attracting old and young with an upbeat message of faith, and we will remember charlie murphy who built a comedy career bind behind his famous brother eddie. his most famt moments on the "chapelle's show." you're watching "cbs this morning." customer: we can't drive this car.
