mi ling of the fire coming through the brush area. firefighters are standing at the ready. this neighborhood has been evacuated and the entire city is under curfew. authorities were worried about looting and unfortunately these scenes of devastation are the same around the entire region. more than a dozen wildfires raged on in northern california overnight. despite desperate attempts by more than 1,000 firefighters to gain the upper hand. the fire is fuelled by strong winds, broke out almost simultaneously sunday forcing crews to spread their resources across the region. >> you watched four houses burn down. >> on my whole block. >> reporter: brandon hayes says he ignored evacuation orders to try and save his parents' house only to see it destroyed. >> i pretended to go and i turned around and came back. >> reporter: why? >> this is my folks' homes and i'm not going to watch it burn

without somebody trying. >> reporter: flames raced into their backyards. the fires destroyed more than 1,000 structures gutting hotels and homes and turning parts of wine country into a charred waste land. in some cases flames were so intense authorities had to choose saving people over saving homes. >> it's devastating. it's devastating. >> reporter: ward cook tried to douse embers near his home after realizing fire crews were stretched thin. >> it's frustrating but i get the fact that they've got jobs to do and they're trying to do them as best they can. it's so sad. it's so sad. >> reporter: with the fires out of control, authorities say it's too early to determine the full scope of the devastation or the death toll. >> there is no searching. there is no looking yet. so there is a l of burned homes and a lot of burned areas, so we --t's just logical that we're going to find more people.

>> reporter: sonoma county received 100 missing persons reports. are widespread cell ph outages making communication difficult. pike pen mike pence was in the state of california and he says the government is ready to help with whatever the state needs. in southern california firefighters are battling another dangerous wild fire southeast of los angeles. the canyon 2 fire has destroyed at least two dozen structures in anaheim. more than 5,000 homes have been evacuated. marc strassman is in anaheim hills where several houses burned. >> reporter: this house is gone, the flames got in the attic and up it went on this cul-de-sac. the fire is burning on a rate about four miles in that direction and at last estimate it was only 5% contained. the fire was visible for miles

as it tore through suburban neighborhoods reducing homes to piles of smoldering wood and ash. >> it so sad to see what happened. there's no way -- >> reporter: 1,000 firefighters are working to put out the flames from the ground and from above. nearly two dozen helicopters and other aircraft have been using water drops. gusts up to 45 miles per hour and low humidity have fuelled the flames making conditions more difficult for first responders. we're hoping that the weather goes in our favor, but if not, we're continuing to fight this. >> reporter: at nearby disneyland park goers captured the eerie skies capturing the smoke. evacuations were ordered for more than 5,0 people chose to stay behind. >> it's never the same. they may be able to rebuild them but i c't especially in this manner.

>> reporter: he and his family left two hours before the fire crept over the hillside and engulfed his hand. >> it's pretty surreal. i'll probably try and handle this the best i can for now and then deal with it emotionally a couple months down the road. >> reporter: firefighters will battle tough conditions again today. high wind gusts, low humidity and evacuation orders in neighborhood like this will remain in place, but the worry here is that the fire is going to take more homes today. charlie? >> thanks, mark. a pilot flying over the wildfires had this view. smoke is breaking through the clouds more than 5,000 feet up in the air. assistant deputy director is with us from sacramento. good morning. >> good morning. >> can you tell us where you are in fighting this fire because you have conditions with wind and dryness that accelerate its spread. >> well, the good news was the wind overnight did die down compared to what we saw last

week. that's given us an opportunity to take a stand against many of these fires. what we were experiencing just 24 hours ago is a very different story, but there's still a lot of work ahead of us as dry conditions and warm temperatures continue to have a strong hold here on california. >> i know you've got more than 2,000 firefighters on the ground. what's the biggest challenge? >> it's really been the unpredictable winds. it's those winds that fan these flames from rural areas right into the homes, burning everything in its path. our latest estimate still show that 1,500 homes and other buildings were destroyed by these fires. >> can you give us a sense of the scale of the destruction that you've seen thus far? >> you know, the destruction is widespread. complete subdivisions, communities destroyed, burned down to the ground. it was all our firefighters could do the night of the fire just to get people evacuated. there were countless rescues trying to get residents out of their trapped homes and that really took the priority, protecting life and property is always going to be the priority.

>> we wish you all the best. thank you so much, with cal fire. >> las vegas made a significant change in the time line of the muse imwestphal massacre. investigators say stephen paddock shot a hotel security guard at 9:59 p.m. that is six minutes before he opened fire on the festival and killed 58 people. we're near the location in las vegas with new details on the gunman. jamie, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. clark county sheriff says he's frustrated there is no clear motive yet. investigators are interviewing stephen paddock's brother ehere. they are also girlfriend marilou danley. the sheriff calls them key pieces to a very large investigative puzzle. >> the time line has changed. >> reporter: sheriff joseph lombardo said jesus campos was initially on the 32nd floor to check on a suspicious open door

slipped and later sued over his injuries. chris curtis is a security consultant. he says managers need to always test their procedures. >> sometimes they need to sneak up, leave a door open and see how long it takes for their security team to see that a door was not secured. >> reporter: the sheriff says paddock also had explosives in his car. he was targeting aviation fuel tanks and plenty of body gear as part of an escape plan. authorities are now looking into seeing if he went to an informal shooting range just two days before the attack to practice shooting. >> thank you so much. texas tech says a 19-year-old student is in custody this morning for allegedly killing a campus police officer. t the university has identified the suspect as freshman hollis daniels. campus police say they were making a welfare check on daniels when they found drugs and drug paraphernalia in his room. he allegedly shot and killed the officer during questioning at the police station.

the school was under lockdown for at least an hour overnight until daniels was caught. president trump is getting some help in his newest feud with a powerful fellow republican. senator bob corker's smart edge brought a strong reaction from the vice president mike pence. while critics engage in empty rhetoric and baseless attacks president trump has restored the credibility of american power. major garrett is at the white house. what can you tell us? >> reporter: well, good morning. it took nearly a day but the white house finally mounted a defense of his foreign policy against those withering attacks from the chairman of the senate foreign relations committee. late last night another voice entered the fray, that of an ousted top white house official. >> senator corker is an absolute disgrace. >> steve bannon came to his old boss's defense blasting corker's

comments as unacceptable. if bob corker has any decency he should resign immediately. >> corker's unusually drank comments rocked washington using words typically reserved for private conversations about the president. >> he doesn't realize that you know, that we could be heading towards world war iii with the kinds of comments that he's making. >> a party elder statesman appealed for calm. >> both ought to cool it. >> reporter: pennsylvania republican echoed corker's criticism. >> we've had a lot of these the emperor has no clothes moments. >> reporter: mitch mcconnell took up for corker saying senator corker is a valuable member of the senate republican caucus. he met with scott pruitt who was

in kentucky. mr. trump has promised to end the program there. an act critics say would isolate the u.s. >> no single regulation threatens our miners, energy workers and companies more than this crushing attack on american industry. >> reporter: the president played golf yesterday with lindsey graham of south carolina, a friendly republican senator when the president needs as much of those as he can find. later today he has lunch with the defense secretary james mattis and rex tillerson. the president could overrule both if later this week as expected he desert fis the iran nuclear deal. >> thanks, major. hurricane maria struck puerto rico nearly three weeks ago. 85% of the island is still without electricity. that is nearly 3 million americans without power. puerto rico's governor is asking washington for an additional $4.6 billion in emergency

relief. david begnaud is back in san juan where the governor says they're struggling to meet people's basic needs. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. 20 days after maria made landfall people are still not getting the food and watter that they need in isolated areas of this island. here in the capital of san juan, generators continue to be the lifeline. a majority of this island is without power. and 40 million pounds of debris have been removed here in san juan, but what hasn't been removed is causing major problems. debris left behind by maria has clogged street drains contributing to widespread flooding. she says the government has not helped with cleaning the streets and the only time she's seen cruz is on television. we wanted to talk to the mayor about that. we found her at the main distribution center in san juan. >> i had to make a decision,

either i open the roads in order to save lives and i use the money that i had for medicine and for food and for water and i decided that the route to go was not a logistical route. but a human route. >> reporter: governor was critical of the mayor's response and sent a team of his own to help clean the streets on monday. >> this is has been on ongoing problem that hasn't presented itself anywhere else in puerto rico. it wasn't handled as it should have been. >> reporter: further complications is that aide is not being properly handled by distributors. >> they are not providing the water and food that is given to them, there will be hell to pay. >> reporter: everyone is being told to boil the water to prevent disease which is difficult because most people don't have power. >> people tend to always want to ask, are things getting better. >> reporter: are they getting

better? ? >> no. they're not getting better because the supply chain of aide still is not robust and is not continuous. so now i have about 20,000 families that i'm feeding on a weekly basis. i can't just not tell them that i don't have any food or water for them next week or the week after next. >> reporter: outside of san juan, the disaster is leading to depression among people who are feeling desperate and there's a real concern about the spread of disease. the governor has confirmed that there are at least five people who have symptoms that are consistent with a bacterial disease and right now tests are pending. >> when do they expect the majority of the power to be back on? >> reporter: charlie, we're told it could be up to ten months to a year before everyone has power. but what we have seen is that in areas like san juan, a thunderstorm comes through and knocks out the power and destroys what progress is being made. >> that is stunning.

>> staggering statistic. a year without power. >> thank you for being there again reporting from puerto rico. harvey weinstein asked movie industry executives for help in the hours before he was fired. a journalist shares what happened when she says she was trapped alone in a room with the hollywood producer.

how did you become a member of the cbs news team? >> you're not going to believe this. i'd always wanted to work at cbs. i've never been able to get even an appointment there, so i didn't even ask for an appointment. i just went over there. there were no security in those days. i went up to the second floor and i said -- the first person i saw, i've come to see mr. small. and the woman, he was the bureau chief. she said oh, yes, bob, come right in. i mean, it's true. i was ushered into the bureau chief's office and subsequently was hired. it turned out i had walked in on someone else's appointment.

>> that's our guy. >> i know. a treasure. >> that's bob for you. love that story. welcome back tothrning." gayle is taking the day off so alex wagner is here. good to have you here. >> i'm here, awake miraculously. >> how's the baby doing? >> he is thriving. he is a delicious wonderful baby. >> we are glad you're here. we have three things you should know this morning. the deadly california wildfires in napa and sonoma counties are hurting the state's wine industry. flames destroyed at least two wineries. many others are damaged. most closed yesterday because of power outages and evacuations. officials do not know yet how the fires will impact this year's grape harvest. north korean hackers stole war planes. the financial times reports the hackers took a trove of classified documents including

operation plan 5015. the details infuriated kim jong-un. he apparently changed his daily routine. >> and the penguins to the white house today. the stanley cup champions are the first team since the president with drew the golden state warriors invitation. the penguins say they quote, respect the institution of the office of the president and the long tradition of camp i don't know sh-- championship teams visiting the white house. harvey weinstein made a last ditch effort to save his career. he sent a letter just hours before he was fired from his company. he wrote quote, i am desperate for your help. a number of celebrities are speaking out including kate

winslet and meryl streep and judi bench. >>sa van met harvey weinstein at a dinner party, but when he offered her a private tour of his restaurant she was stunned by the encounter. the details of their first and only meeting are graphic. >> when he asked me if i wanted to tour the restaurant or the kitchen, no, there was no apprehension. should there have been? yes. >> reporter: it was 2007 and lauren sivan got a very friendly vibe from harvey weinstein. >> i didn't get anything that read he was dangerous until we got downstairs. >> and what happened? >> he tried to kiss me, and i pushed him off politely and that's when he seemed to get angry or annoyed. and told me to just stand there and be quiet.

>> reporter: she said weinstein had her cornered. >> he exposed himself and he basically pleasured himself and when he finished, i said to him, are we done here, can i leave? because he had been blocking the exit. >> several actors who were hired by weinstein have spoken out against him including meryl streep who said the behavior is inexcusable but wine steven was defended by donna carren. >> you look at everything all over the world today and how women a dressing and what they're asking by just presenting themselves the way they do. what are they asking for? trouble. >> reporter: she apologized yesterday saying my statements were taken out of context and do not represent how i feel. i am truly sorry to anyone that i offended. sivan told us some have been

critical of her for not speaking out sooner. >> i don't like that idea of blaming the victim. like blame him, you know, blame the people that enabled him. >> reporter: george clooney told the daily beast weinstein's behavior is indefensible. he said this is the moment to start scaring people like this into not acting this way anymore. cbs news has repeatedly reached out to harvey wine steven and the weinstein company for comment but we have not heard back. cbs news ricky klieman prosecuted sex crimes and also defended some. good morning. >> good morning. >> could he face a criminal investigation? >> we have to look at where we are. many of these allegations are sexual harassment. that is a request to do something, not an actual action. those are not criminal.

we also have to remember for prosecutor or a woman is going to get involved in a criminal case, that harvey weinstein is presumed innocent and we can't forget that when we have this discussion. we haven't heard of a prosecutor yet who is saying i'm going to go forward with a criminal case. could one do that? yes. but there are hurdles here. number one, is it within the statute of limitations meaning the time limit? you just heard a story that happens ten years ago, not within the statute of limitations. it would have to be much more recent. by the way, a lot of states since the bill cosby episodes have gotten away, done away with statutes of limitations, but not for crimes that occurred before. so then you have yet another hurdle. does the woman want to go forward? many of these women would not want to go forward with a criminal case and so how does the prosecutor, if a woman

signed a confidentiality agreement get her in at all? >> right. >> he must use or she must use the subpoena power of a grand jury. if tles herthere's a confidenti agreement that woman cannot talk. >> you're saying a subpoena would override the confidentiality agreement? >> yes, we know that from the bill cosby case. a woman cannot tell her friends, cannot tell the police once she has signed. we also don't know if any or many of these women have gone to the police before they may have signed any confidentiality agreement. that's like andrea with cosby. that's a different story. >> do wie know whether the boar of directors had any oversight on terms to settle? >> the company would have to certainly face civil liability if in fact they knew something and we have to know when they knew it. if the company knew nothing, if harvey weinstein paid this out

of his own pocket we have a different story, but if i'm the company i'm looking for a complete review. >> and we do know the company has hired an independent team to uncover the whole truth. thanks for your time. some employers may soon deny health care coverage for birth control on religious and moral grounds. next we hear from one woman involved in the rollback and you can hear more on our pod casts. find them all on itunes and apple's pod cast app. you each watching "cbs this morning." confusion. elp guide you through e well that wasn't so bad at all. that's how we like it. unitedhealthcare. whentrust the brand doctors trust for themselves. nexium 24hr is the number one choice of doctors and pharmacists for their own frequent heartburn.

contraceptive pills for reasons beyond birth control. those pills can cost more than $1,000 a year without insurance. a member of the aclu is now a plaintiff in the group's lawsuit challenging the trump administration rules. >> was it difficult for you to decide to speak out? >> coming forward about such a personal matter is a really scary prospect, but at the end of the day a lot of women on campus feel this is an unfair intrusion into our private rights. >> the new regulations are expected to be published on friday. the trump administration estimates that 200 employers could take advantage of the program potentially impacting 120,000 women. >> all right. thank you. up next, a look at this morning's other headlines including what's driving halloween spending to a record $9 billion this year. and starbucks executive will be here to talk about how he's

of burned structures to increase today. this fire is about 5% contained. they've issued air quality warnings for parts of los angeles county and the area is also under a red flag warning which means conditions are prime for a wildfire to flare up within the next 24 hours. firefighters are expected to deal with tough conditions again today. high wind gusts and low humidity. >> thanks. former white house chief strategist steve bannon says republican senator bob corker should resign. the senate foreign relations committee share told the new york times that president trump acts quote, like he's doing the apprentice or something. corker said mr. trump's rhetoric could lead to world war iii. bannon said senate republicans need to back the president. >> mcconnell and corker and the entire click establishment globalist click on capitol hill have to go. we need any more proof about what they think you heard it tonight. >> bannon said he wants every

gop senate incumbent except ted cruz to face a primary challenge. >> newt gingrich was one of donald trump's most outspoken surrogates in the presidential election and continues to be a strong supporter. he's also the author of a new book called vengeance. welcome. >> good morning. >> what is going on here? the president is lashing out against him when he needs his vote in the senate. >> they'd be a lot better off to get together for lunch and get over it. trump automatically hits back at anybody. it's just an instinctive, goes back to his new york days and it seems to be virtually uncontrollable and he thought that corker had said something that offended him so he hit corker so corker who's now liberated him him back. i think it's not helpful to the country and not helpful to the republican party, but i also think you see bannon on the right and you see the people for example opposing senator fienstein on the left and you

have this growing factionalization on both sides that i think is sort of the era we're in right now. so you have all these left wingers over here and you have right wingers over here and none of them are happy with the world as it is, so they yell about it. >> let's talk about how this might imperil the republican agenda. we're a week away from a budget vote that is crucial in terms of the president's attempts to get tax reform done. how does angering members of your own party help that effort? >> it doesn't. i mean, i'm not going to sit here -- i think trump is a remarkable figure. i think he's a historic figure. he's probably the biggest change agent since andrew jackson in the 1820s and 30s but i do think there are things he doesn't understand about the system. we don't all get elected to march in locked step. they've got to learn to work together.

and that's been probably the biggest weakness has been not finding a way to work together and the truth is, the president will not get his major things done without bob corker. >> do you believe what corker said that it could be leading toward world war iii, the kind of behavior the president reflects and the rhetoric he uses? >> i think we're in an extraordinary dangerous time. if you look at north korea which has rejected bill clinton, rejected george w. bush, rejected obama, over 30 years now the north korea saying we're going to build weapons and missiles that will reach the u.s. that's not donald trump. that is the culmination of three decades of failed policy. that's what part of vengeance is about is terrors selling to the north koreans for nuclear material, which they can then use to create dirty bombs for the u.s. we need to understand, we have enemies across the planet it's

not u.s., north korea, it's u.s. and a range of enemies who would destroy us if they could. >> can anyone reign in the president? >> no, the president has to reign himself in. >> what are the implications if the there's not a single legislative victory? >> they're going to get a tax cut. they're going to get a tax cut because the country needs a tax cut. >> not tax reform, a tax cut? >> it can come through tax reform but what really matters is people have more money in their pocket. i carry around the paul ryan postcard size -- >> you really do carry it. >> i do because this is what they ought to do. talk less about each other, more about tax cuts. >> but doesn't picking a fight with bob corker have implications as far as the tax reform? >> yeah. i think they need to have lunch, get over it and move on and help the country.

>> steve bannon told me you were offered a number of jobs in the white house when the president was going through his transition period. what jobs did you turn down? >> i didn't turn down a specific job. he said what did i want. he used me to sort of keep you guys busy while he was picking mike pence who i think is doing a great job as vice president and i said to him i want to be a strategic advisor so i'm working with the vice president on space. i work with the national security people for example the iranian agreement, and i worked a lot on health. i'm working -- as you can tell i'm working on the tax cuts. >> and you agree we should withdraw from -- >> absolutely. i don't think -- >> i'm asking does he think we should withdraw as trump is suggesting. the certification only has to do with the congress. >> i don't think you can say what the president has said in judgment on the iranians and turn around and pretend you're

going to be in the obama tradition of i didn't really mean it. i should say by the way, one person who did say yes is my wife who is up to be at the vatican. >> this is your 32nd book? >> something like that. 32nd, yeah. >> prolific. >> mostly nonfiction but we enjoyed creating -- you'd like her. our central figure and we have a woman from assad and we have a saudi something that's happening in the middle east, we have the saudi working together. >> thank you so much for being here. how hard schultz told charlie in 1997 about his passion for building a company with conscience. >> in '87 we had 11 retail stores, 100 employees and a dream to build a national retail company, but more importantly than that, having grown up the way i did in a lower middle

told. upstanders is one that season 60 million people viewed that series. i think it's even more relevant today. i think the sense of humanity, compassion that's going on in every town around the country has to be told and we lad so many stories. we could have had a thousand and i think people are longing for truth, authenticity. you just talked about millennials. they want to hear stories like this and i think we have a false narrative in america which is coming out of washington which is not the american story, not the promise of america. so starbucks in its sense with our platform of almost 100 million customers a week are sharing these stories and i think people are embracing it. >> what's the false narrative? >> the dysfunction, the lack of leadership, it's not america. it's going on in washington, but the divisiveness is not how people act every single day.

you know, we have so many stories that we've shown and there are differences of opinion on a number of issues, but people come together. we met a woman in montana, one of the stories, mary pool against all odds, no training whatsoever, against the mentality in montana and she brings refugees from syria. i mean, these are people who are upstanders, people who are not listening to washington and doing the kind of things that i think speak to the american story. >> so you hope to not only gifz recognition to the good stories but you may change behavior in washington? >> no, i don't think starbucks is in the business of changing behavior in washington, but i think we have an opportunity, a really important opportunity to demonstrate that the country needs a more compassionate society and a more compassionate government and in fact, it is going on every day. i mentioned in the green room to newt gingrich, i just came back

from normandy and i was leaving the cemetery, which is such a sobering experience and as i was leaving i met this woman from baltimore. and i asked her, why are you here? and she said my husband and i came here to be reminded of who we once were. >> yeah. incredibly moving. >> i think, you know, i love this country as we all do and i think we're -- we're right now in a facing a real crucible in terms of our society and the lack of leadership in washington and i know there's a better side to america and we have an opportunity to show it. >> so there are people who think about you as a potential presidential candidate. my question is, you know, if that was true, is this the kind of narrative that you want to articulate? >> well, i'm not running for president, but the narrative that i'd like to try and elevate is the fact that our society needs to be reminded that washington does not define our behavior.

that we define our behavior and that we can make changes every single day around the country. ordinary people are doing extraordinary things and the media should signhine a light o that. >> this wasn't your version of a listening tour? >> not at all because we have stores in almost every community in america. i'm on the road all the time. i was in houston three weeks ago and saw the devastation. that's part of my job. interesting enough, you know, people coming together in houston is wonderful, but that's happening not because of a catastrophe, it's happening because of human kindness and that's going on every day in america. we don't need a hurricane to demonstrate the values of the country. >> you can see that because every time there is this kind of national response to a disaster or tragedy you see the same kind of conduct wherever the community is. >> yeah, but i'm also saying i see this -- >> even without the tragedy. i understand.

>> yes, but it's not being told and unfortunately, the toalty coming out of washington and the lack of civility, the lack of respect -- >> are you putting at the feet of the president? >> no, i think i'm putting it -- listen, we've had polarization and dysfunction in washington for a number of years. it's at a boiling point where it's almost impossible to wake up every day because you've got a different episodic situation and it does place a cloud over our society and i want to offset that by saying there's something else going on, a better america. >> good for you. >> yeah. thank you for coming. >> nice to have you here, howard. laird hamilton is a surfing pioneer and an icon of the sport. his documentary is called take every wave, the life of laird hamilton. he shared how he always wanted to be a surfer.

day they're very difficult with you. i think it's meant partially to break your will and to keep you on your toes so you don't really know what to do if you want to escape or try anything against them so they really break you up like that. >> who. >> reporter: the captors? >> as you know, many rebel factions in syria. it's a complicated affair but it was mostly local militias, but since they were having such difficult problems they brought in a lot of different people who are much more experienced and disciplined at fighting. >> so they did it you think? >> yeah, it's all connected and definitely. >> you talk in the book about gaining the trust of your captors. how do you do that? >> it's a question of survival. you have to pick out who you can trust and who you don't trust. usually i would go after the younger soldiers who are more interested in the fact that i was from the western world. they were more curious about me so they were nicer to me.

the torturing and beatings were done mostly by the older officer groups. so i spent a lot of time manipulating those young guys so i would get their favors, like maybe being allowed to go to the bathroom one extra time during the day. >> how did you escape? >> well, there was a ransom which is often the case given out by a man which i can't give the name, of course, but he was part of a blacklist that was written down by the european union and the united states, a powerful syrian man like himself who was close to the regime but also do businesses around the world and when you're on that list you can't travel. they freeze your as sets and he wanted that to be gone so by paying for me and releasing me he was hoping to give -- to get a favor from the united states or france and be freed from it which happened briefly and then

he was put right back on that list after wards. >> would you ever go back to syria? >> of course i -- you're always tempted to go back to these different war zones just for personal reasons. after the war when it ends, which will most likely happen fairly soon, i would definitely like to go back and see the places where i was captured. yeah. >> well, jonathan alpeyrie, thank you so much for joining us. we're glad you're back home safe. >> thank you. >> the shattered lens is on sale today. you're watching "cbs this morning." we'll be right back. while others just cook, at college inn we craft adeeperh because every detail matters. we carefully select our all-natural chicken and farm grown vegetables, purposefully blend the most flavorful herbs and spices, and finish with a long, slow simmer. the savory taste of college inn broth is the detail
