projecting his face on the side of a hotel. the trip also melded saudi and american culture together as country star toe by keith performed accompanied by a group playing at an all-male concert. and they participated in a traditional sword dance. despite the festivities he made clear he's putting economic and security interests ahead of human rights. he lift ed bans. entered into a plan. >> donald trump is the sixth president to visit israel. richard nixon was the first in 1974. jimmy carter, george w. bush and barack obama also traveled to the country as president. dan is co-author of startup nation, the start up's economic

miracle and planned the trip during the 2012 campaign, tell us what happened in saudi arabia. first there is in the middle east great sunni shia split and beyond speaking to these people who were there this saudi arabia, there's nothing he could have sate to them or pleased them more than trying to isolate them from iran because it was a trekt contradiction of what barack obama was trying to do. >> right. it was figuring out if there was a deal to be done with iran, if iran could be a potential partner in the region. that had an effect in the eyes of the sunni gulf countries of which saudi arabia is the most powerle that he was downgrading the relationships and they were deeply uneasy about this. for the president of the united states to come to riyadh and say we're in this together, we're here to isolate iran, we're going to work with the sunni countries and israel and now seeing this big arms teal with

saudi arabia really sends a message about a tilt. you saw the iranian foreign minister tweeting out, lashing out at what president trump had done in saudi arabia. it's a clear sign that the iranians are worried. >> and he hopes that saudi arabia and the other countries will help him with is legal doing some teal with the palestinians. >> right. in other words, if israel is to feel that there's space to get some kind of deal done with the palestinians, they want to know it will include some northerlialization with the relationships and that has never come before and i think the trump administration is trying to push the sunni gulf states in that direction. >> he never mentioned radical islamic terrorism. did that surprise you at all? >> no. look. there's a number of things he says on the campaign and he can rejigger for governing and he had to do it here because he had concessions.

it was an easy deal for the saudis to make. but in combatting radical terrorism. the ideology behind it. the funding behind it. there was were very significant step that was accomplished on the trip. they got the saudis to say we as a government will not support the indoctrination and funding of terroristic activities around the world. we will bar citizens. they'll be held drlly liable. >> the symbolism important as whelm the first direct flight ever from riyadh to israel. what does president trump want or what will he get in the visit to israel? >> it's the first time a president has gone this early to israel in the presidency. you mentioned all the other presidents. none of them had gone this early. they went in second terms. i think the president wants to send a message to israel, we

have your back, you are not alone, lock arms with us. and if he can get israel to lock arms with the united states and make them feel that the bond is unbreakable, that we have your back, you can trust us, israel will be more comfortable in makes concessions. >> he's also saying israel and the sunni arabs have the same enemy, which is iran. >> absolutely. let's unify and's late this together. i know we've got to go. i would say the sunni arab world in israel have been quietly working together. this is a new development. i think the trump administration wants that to be held not beneath the table but above. held very public bhi li by the new relationship. >> thank you. >> thank you very much. the iranian government is not happy to be singled out by the u.s. it accuses the u.s. of iranaphobia.

elizabeth palmer has more. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. iranians are working up this morning to find themselves squarely back in the firing line of the white house. view from here is that donald trump came to saudi arabia mainly as a sales rep for american arms manufacturers. one headline referring to this moment in the visit said for $100 billion trump dances to the saudi tune. on friday iranians re-elected reformist hassan rouhani over his hard-lined opponent and over the weekend june lent young supporters celebrated in the streets. but one short paragraph in president trump's speech dash their hopes. >> iran funds arms and trains terrorists, militias, and other extremist groups that spread

destruction and chaos across the region. >> reporter: he went on to say iran should be isolated. in response the minister recalled the saudi role in 9/11 and then tweeted, iran, fresh from real elections attacked by trump in the bastion of moderation, a mockery of saudis. there's one power that may be celebrating today, the hardliners and military including iran's revolutionary guard. closer ties influence their control whereas in america it's not only allied with their enemies but is arming them too fits perfectly with their narrative that iran has to be aggress in to defend itself. president trump joined the war of words that rages constantly in this region, that they're now

waiting to see whether he actually backed it up with the muscle of new anti-iranian policy. >> elizabeth palmer, thanks. as the president is waging a war of words over terrorism, u.s. and iraqi troops are prepared. the fighters are preparinger final battle. charlie d'agata is in western mosul, 300 feet from the edge o the old city. >> reporter: good morning. this narrow street is now the front line many the fight against isis. iraqi forces have been closing in on three sides and on the other side of this isis stronghold is the river. isis fighters have only two choices. they can surrender or fight to the death because escape is not a possibility. we've seen what this fight now

entails. it's guerilla warfare. holes were cut as we went from building to building. they would see the muzzle flair and then they opened up with their machine guns, trying to take isis out. it was explained that isis tried to provide cover as isis fighters advanced. this is what it's come to. a standoff here as they're trading gunfire back and forth. even along this alleyway, they strung blankets up in order to stay out of the view of isis fighters. iraqi forces have mads significant gains in the past few days. now the fight is for the old city and nobody here is willing to predict how long that will take. for "cbs this morning," charlie d'agata, mosul, iraq. while the president is overseas the white house is struggling with political problems here at home. officials face new directives.

president trump called the former fbi director james comey a real nut job whose firing lessened because of russia. mcmaster said mr. trump didn't mean it the way it sounds. >> it's very difficult to take a few lines, a paragraph out of what appear to be notes of that meeting and to be able to see the full context of the conversation. >> but some lawmakers weren't swayed by that explanation. >> the fact is he has been terminateding but the reason for the termination has really not been fehr itted out. >> congressional probes are broadening. the house intelligence committee is asking for documents and more from michael caputo who worked in russia in the 1990s and with the "washington post" reporting that a top person is now of personal interest to the fbi, some are suggesting a white house coverup.

>> there have been so many lies, so many contradictions. >> the white house is trying to focus on the task at hand and will be sending a budget to congress tomorrow. cbs has confirmed that budget will include $800 billion worth of cuts to medicaid over the next ten years. we also learned that several top white house officials like reince priebus and steve bannon will be leaving early to come back home to washington in part, norah, to make sure the budget rollout goes smoothly. >> nancy, thank you so much. ford motor company is expected to announce a new ceo. the automaker is reportedly removing mark fieldss in a management shakeup. he'll be replaced by hackett. it comes amid struggling sales and concerns about plans for the high-terk cars of the future. we reached out to ford, but the automaker said it would not comment on the report.

morning to fooind themselves squarely back in front of the firing line of the white house. >> they have two choices. surrender or fight to the death because escape is not a possibility. >> he'll ask about the president and the memos that he's kept now that he's agreed to testify before the senate intelligence committee. >> big move. why the shakeup. >> the president took off for a nine-day overseas trip but the wheeled had barely left the ground when this happened. >> according to white house documents president trump in the oval office said days ago the fbi director days ago that, quote, was a nut job. >> in his defense, i can see where he's coming from. >> announcer: this morning ice "eye opener" at 8:00 is presented by liberty mutual

insurance. i'm charlie rose with gayle king and norah o'donnell. president trump is in jer use them this morning on the second leg of his first foreign trip in office. right now he's speaking with the president in jerusalem. these are live pictures. president netanyahu greeted the president and first lady melania trump after "air force one" landed in tel aviv. after the formal ceremony, the two joked about it to each other. >> that's protocol. >> what is the protocol? >> who knows. >> a low temperaturele presidential protocol joke. the president and first lady will visit the church of the holy see pull kur on the holy site where christians believe jesus was buried. they'll also visit the wall. the first president to visit this holy site. >> what's happened with iran has

brought many other parts of the middle east toward israel and you could say that's one of the -- there's a benefit, that would be the benefit because i've seen such a different feeling toward israel from countries that as you know were not feeling so well about israel not so long ago. >> president trump spent the weekend in saudi arabia. in a speech the president urged leaders from dozens of majority muslim countries to fight terrorism. >> susan page is washington's bureau chief. good morning. >> good morning. >> so far how do you assess the president as president versus president as candidate? >> we were thinking maybe it would be a debate between president trump and president obama. it was actually donald trump veas president versus candidate. he talked about ban on muslims. he said this is not a war

between religions a totally different tone. >> it's amazing. the speech writer was steve miller? >> i think he got some revisions. this also reflected the tone of rex tillerson and mcmaster. what tellerson said this morning on the flight to tel aviv is that the president's view on islam continue to evolve. >> which is remarkable to hear a secretary of state describe the president's position as evolving. >> it's something that might be seen as kind of patronizing typically in an administration. but, in fact, that's what we see happen. he's israel. during the campaign he promised to move the embassy to jer use limb. that has not happened. >> big issue in arab countries too. >> exactly. that's why it hasn't happened. >> put it in perspective. that's a song called "had a bad day." they had a bad week. how important is this? >> the first foreign trip is

important for any president but this is especially crucial because he's coming off what i think is most catastrophic week for a president in memory. it's just a week ago today we find out he had talked to russian leaders in the oval office and revealed intelligence from israeli intelligence sources and then we have a series of other things happening including there's a senior official in white house that is a person of interest in this investigation of meddling with the russians. i don't know the answer to that question. >> is there a list of three people they might suspect? >> there might be but it's not enough to say out loud on your show. >> very well said, susan. >> you know what else is remarkable about this trip? no press conference and no tweeting by the president. >> what's most remarkable, the white house sees this as a huge achievement that this trip has stayed on message because the president has answered questions, because he hasn't sent out any of those provocative tweetsle here's the

question. they've done it for three days. can he do it for nine days? >> it's hard. the people around the white house, people in the white house now say the president's been exhausted. >> let's give him the benefit of all the doubts he'd like us to. what has he pliched and what may he plich that will perhaps set in motion some kind of grand bargain? >> it's possible that -- it's not like we've had great success in reaching middle east peace. this is dachbt approach. the president says this is a moment in time where it might be possible to have a fresh start on an israeli/palestinian accord. of course, we all hope that happens. >> it's a better word than reset, doesn't it? >> reset has a history. >> susan page, always good to have you here. thaerng you so much. the fbi wants to know if race played a role of a blackman kelled by a white student. 23-year-old richard collins iii

was stabbed and killed while waiting for an uber at the university of maryland. jan crawford is at the bus stop where he was stabbed. good morning. >> good morning. it took the life of a promising student richard collins while he and two friends were waiting for an uber on saturday night. the stabbing was completely unrevoked and we have reason to suggest it could have been a hate crime. >> shaun urban ski with a knife stabbed richard wilbur collins and killed him. >> reporter: police in maryland say they have reason to believe that 22-year-old shaun christopher urban ski, a student at the university of maryland, may have used race as a motivator to murder richard collins. >> we're looking into whether not it was a hate crime. >> reporter: the fbi has been

called in to investigate it. there's a group alt-right nation and urbanski is a member. >> it's a hate site. >> they gathered for commenceme commencement. >> a student who lost his life in a senseless and unprovoked assau assault. >> richard collins was preparing to receive his own diploma from another bowie state and was kmegs commissioned as second loon tent in the u.s. army. >> hate has no place in america. hate has no place on a college

campus. >> reporter: now, as of this morning that alt-rate facebook page appears to have been taken down. he was set to join the until jens kmit commission of the u.s. army and was set to walk across the stage tomorrow to get his college degree. gayle? >> very sad. sad story. thank you very much, jan. it was one of the most stunning moments of the presidential campaign. ahead, billy bush breaks his silence about his notorious conversation with president trump.

september 2015, the world learned german automaker volkswagen had installed illegal

software in 11 million cars. it with us designed to conceal excess emissions during testing. diesel cars were sold during 2008 and 2015. six volkswagen employees in the united states were fired over the scandal. volkswagen was sued for about $20 billion. its problems may not be over. they said the ceo is under investigation. "the new york times" european economic correspondent covered this entire story and he gives the behind-the-scenes look in his new book called "faster, higher, farther." jack, good morning. >> good morning. >> first of all, incredible reporting. congratulations on what you

found here. >> thank you. >> what do they claim? >> they had them test some cars in the united states, diesel cars sold by volkswagen and bmw. the idea was to see whether the cars would meet u.s. standards. they took the car out on the road which they had not done before. they noticed funny results. they were way higher. >> nitrogen oxide levels? >> yes. it's a very harmful guess. >> that's why you have to mention dan carter. without dan carter, you wouldn't have a book and we wouldn't know about the scandal. >> that's right. he managed team at northwestern university, oversawer er p, and investigate the ball rolling to uncover the scandal. >> what was it they did? installed imlegal software? >> yes. the software could recognize when cars were in the garage

being tested. and they could make it pass the test. >> and executives knew it was happening. >> certainly up to a certain level. we don't know how much further it went up. as you mentioned, there's an investigation into the ceo. >> what does this mean in terms of the their reputation? >> it certainly hurt their reputation. the sale ps the u.s. are kind of flat. they haven't collapsed. the biggest problem for volkswagen is they're taking away money they need to be spending on technology because there's a big shift coming into the market. >> at the end of the day dan -- jack. dan is the other guy. it didn't make the company money and the people involved, they didn't make money. >> they were desperate to get market shares in the united states. the way they thought they would do that is sell diesels as a

friendly technology, but they realized they could. make the cars compliant with the u.s. rules so they came up with a cheat. i think they probably met it as a short-term stopgap and then it bake a habit. >> you know what's funny? i grew up in germany for two years. my parents loved the volkswagen because it was a diesel car and they thought it was great. you said it will lead to 1, 00 premature deaths in europe. >> yeah. i think the figure may be higher. there was a study out last week. they put the number at 38,000 worldwide from excess diesel -- nitrogen oxide emissions. that's above what's actually allowed by law. >> how is this behavior different from other scandals look this? >> i think the biggest thing is money wasn't the motivation. if you look at the banking scandals, it was people who were

trying to make big bonuses to make money. this was about defending market share and meet the expectations of top management that was set for employees, that team paem who did h were trying to hang onto their jobs. >> how did you get only this story? >> i wasn't the guy. it was the head of the epa. >> you read this story and seemed interested. >> i started pursuing it with other "new york times" colleagues and was able to talk to people. >> you describe it wellet all corporate scandal stems in part from unrealistic targets coupled with draconian comments that failed to deliver. you set the environment. >> right. enron, more recently wells fargo. they all have that element in common. >> thank you. >> thank you for having me. >> congratulations. cbs correspondent vladimir duthiers. up next,s he message about changing the world. you can hear more on our podcast
