7:04 am
>> the head of the fcc who is investigating calls the error slum unacceptable. at 8:07 saturday morning more than 1 million cell phones in hawaii began buzzing with the message "seek immediate shelter, this is not a drill." >> they canceled the alert six minutes later, but they didn't send a new message for another half hour until 8:45. david begnaud is at the command center. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. oops. this is the front page headline. they're now investigating exactly what happened. they say the employee who has pushed the button not once but twice feels terrible. he's being welcomed back to work but not in the same job. this child was lowered into a manhole. another family huddled in a
7:05 am
closet. 5,500 people called honolulu's 911 system. >> it's embarrassing. again, it's a mistake. >> reporter: hawaii's emergency administrator vern miyagi said one of his employees clicked the wrong button twice. he was supposed to select the option for a drill. instead he clicked the real thing. this was what people heard across the hawaiian chain. >> with all due respect, are you sure this was an accident? >> yes. i know the individual. this was an accident. >> why did he hit "yes" twice? >> that's being talked about right now. >> the man who has been working for the agency for about ten years was sit in this chair. he realized within the first two to three minutes he had made a mistake, but it took nearly 38 minutes to get a text message out saying false alarm.

>> hawaii congresswoman tulsi gabbard. >> it took 38 minutes before it went out. >> he was far away from his wife and children. >> felt like i could do something but felt helpless. i was sitting there kind of bawling my eyes out. >> reporter: in the aftermath people in hawaii were confronted with this question. what would you do if this was the real thing. >> a wakeup call. hey, wait a minute. i don't know what to do. our opportunity is to get the information to the people. >> reporter: you know, it took 38 minutes to correct the first tweet because what they actually had to do, they had to get an i.t. guy at home to compose a message, get a template in the system and send a new alert out that says, hey, guys, false alarm. now the template exists. he said, i don't want you
7:07 am
practicing anymore and when you do, i want two people to be involved in every test. >> amazing. thank you, david. the immigration debate in congress is stalled after president trump's reported ruse of a vulgarity to describe haiti, el salvador, and some african nations. last night the president denied he's a racist. two republican allies say he didn't use the reported language. some democrats are pushing back using the threat of a government shutdown as leverage to get what they want in the way of immigration talks. errol barnett is traveling with the president in west palm beach, florida. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. the political fallout could jeopardize daca negotiations. john lewis said he won't vote on government funding unless there's a deal on funding while senator rand paul said the setting to get anything meani meaningful accomplished here is being destroyed. >> no, no, i'm not a racist.
7:08 am
>> reporter: president trump refuted claims about his character. >> i'm the least racist person you have ever interviewed. >> reporter: democratic senator dick durbin was one of the lawmakers in the room when the president allegedly used a vulgar term referring to countries caught up in the debate. >> they were vile, hate-filled, and clearly racial. >> reporter: republican lindsey graham said he immediately confronted the president about his use of words. quote, all those who attended the meeting no what i said and how i feel. two others at the oval office meeting who days ago said they didn't remember the comments seemed to sharpen their memories. >> i did not hear that word. >> reporter: senator tom cotton said the quotes attributed to the president are false. >> you didn't hear the president lumping everybody together. >> i did not hear that comment about individuals or persons,
7:09 am
no. >> reporter: but the controversy is about immigration and both parties. democrats want to address the status of d.r.e.a.m.ers. the president wants to reform the visa lotly system and end so-called chain migration. last week president trump was optimistic about striking a deal. but on sunday he said, quote, daca is probably dead because the democrats don't want it. congressman and civil rights activist john lewis called the president racist for his comments but said democrats aren't giving up on a coom promiez. >> we must not give up, give in, we must continue to press on and get a deal. >> reporter: get this. a new cbs tracker poll reports that 76% found president trump's reported comments inappropriate. >> dan senor has spoken with
7:10 am
members of congress in the room during the oval office meeting. he was senior adviser to mitt romney in the 2012 presidential campaign. good morning. >> good morning. >> we now have two different accounts yochl u have senators saying basically you have two republican senators saying dick durbin is not telling the truth? rig >> right. >> what's going on here. >> what it sounds like is that president trump did say something derogatory. but it's not like people stormed out or interrupted him. lindsey graham made one comment but it wasn't a game-changer. it seems like politics burst out of that meeting about a day later. >> the concern is -- forget the word that everyone was repeating last week. the concern is the president views the world this way and views people on the group they come from and the countries he made note of all have different colors and in norway, the
7:11 am
country he brought up, isle an all white population. >> what he said is hugely problematic because it vaguely makes a sweeping judgment about people from certain parts of the world. those countries, by the way, some of those countries may be basket cases. it's okay to say it but it doesn't mean the talent coming from those countries is. there's as concern about our relationship with those countries. that said there's a point to be made that immigration restrictionists have a legitimate argument about the implications of this lottery system that picks people from certain countries, designates certain countries rather than a skil skills-based system like others have. many are pushing for that system. if that's the point the president wants to make, it's an inartful way. >> it's so unfortunate that everybody is parsing what he said, what he didn't say. all right. let's move on from that.
7:12 am
where do we go from here because we still have the daca conversation. where does that leave that discussion? >> i think two things are going to happen this week. the republican members think they will move to a temporary spending bill sometime this week which will get it to the third week of february. so i do not think there will be a government shutdown this week. i also think based on the members i spoke to, it's unlikely they'll get a daca deal any time soon because the blowup has raised the stakes. if trump said something that was vile, racist, and hayesful, how does senator durbin sit down and negotiate with the president who he thinks is vile, hateful, and racist. both sides have a base problem now. the president has a little bit of an advantage here in that his constituency doesn't care if they get a daca deal. they can walk away. the democrats are not going to
7:13 am
shut down the government over daca. >> let me ask you one question about your good friend mitt romney, the fact that he's running for senate in the state of utah. can you confirm that? >> i'm not his spokesman but i think it is highly likely. >> have you talked to him? >> i spoke to him. >> you think it's highly likely. >> i think it's highly likely. >> i'm going take it as a yes. >> no, no, no. it's just his friend. the white house and president trump have yet to comment on the deadly southern california mudslides nearly one week after the disaster. at least 20 people were killed in a storm last tuesday. four are still considered missing. search crews are now transitioning from rescue to recovery mode. the main highway through the area is still closed this area. jamie, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. take a look. the 101 freeway is still shut
7:14 am
down. it's covered in mud and debris. there's no word on when things will reopen here. at the same time, this community is trying to heal. thousands came out monday night to mourn the loss. a candlelight vigil. james came to remember his grandparents who celebrated his 89th birthday last sunday. >> that's the last time i saw them. i love them so much. >> reporter: cleanup and search efforts are continuing round the clock. they're trying to find the bodies of those still missing. this is what david and his family saw early tuesday morning. >> it was coming up the stairs. it blew out walls. i looked and went, we can't get in the car. it's being swallowed away.
7:15 am
>> reporter: workers rescued the family of three, leading them through the wreckage. >> there's a reason we're still here and there's a reason that house protected us. >> reporter: officials say the 1201 fleeway acted as a catch basin for massive amounts of mud and debris. they say they'll have a better idea when it can finally reopen. under normal conditions the santa barbara area has this area. they're trying to clear out ahead of more rain this week but officials say no drainage system could have landed last week's mudslide. >> it was a slurry with rocks that are over your head and entire trees. this is a debris flow of the likes we have not seen. >> reporter: with the 101 freeway blocked, the only way to travel the 30-odd miles between ventura and santa barbara is taking a 250-mile detour.
7:16 am
amtrak is adding trains and some are hiring boats to get back and forth by sea, gayle. >> i know some who are still stuck there. a florida shuttle both captain is credited with saving the lives of 49 people when a massive fire broke out on board. dramatic video shows passengers jumping into the freezing water as large flames and thick smoke quickly surrounded the boat yesterday. 50 people were on the boat. no one died. vladier duthiers is following this story. good morning. >> good morning. it runs to and from the town of port richie. they noticed the boat sounded different before they saw a cloud of thick black smoke billowing up from the ship's stern. dramatic video taken from the
7:17 am
shore shows passengers jumping from the flaming shuttleboat. police say the vessel had just started a roughly three-mile journey to an off-shore casino cruise when the captain noticed something was wrong with the engine. >> next thing you know, we saw the smoke. >> reporter: videos taken show flames engulfing the boat in a matter of minutes. >> we were nervous that it was going to blow up. you could feel the heat off of it. >> she and her husband rushed to help those forced into the gulf water. >> we had to get in the water at one point and it was just freezing and they were jumping off the flonlt of it. >> we had to jump 8 or 10 feet to the water. >> reporter: all 50 passengers and crew made it safely to shore. they waded through 100 yards of shallow water to reach emergency personnel and nearby homeowners to help. >> they were pulling clothes out
7:18 am
of their closets to put on us to keep warm. >> reporter: 15 people had minor injuries but the decision to turn around prevented a major disaster. >> this could have been a tragedy, certainly a different ending than this. >> the manager said the company lost its only shuttleboat in the fire but he's grateful all the passengers are safe and the captain who got them off to safety. >> heroism on all sides. investigators say a sudden engine surge caused a passenger plane to skid off the edge in turkey. the boeing 737 was stuck in the mud as it dangled above the black sea. they took off from ankara and ran off the runway moments after landing at trabzon airport
7:19 am
saturday night. video shot just after the plane came to a stop showed the panic on board. the passengers and crew were safely i evacuated. no injuries were reported. it's still unclear what caused the engine surge. >> that's incredible video and a case where a mudslide actually prevented the plane from falling further. some hotel chains are changing their policies. ahead, how the room occupied sign you stick on your door does

8:01 am
jeopardize daca negotiations. >> the concern is that the president views the world this way. >> assuming he said what he said, it's hugely problematic because it makes a sweeping judgment about people from certain parts of the world. >> take a look. the 101 freeway is still shut down. it's covered in mud and debreechlt crews have been working around the clock, but there's no word on when things will reopen. >> people said they noticed the boat sounded different moments before they saw a thick billowing smoke building up from the ship's stern. >> score, score. >>e losing their collective minds when their team scores the winning touchdown. >> oh, my god, oh, my god. >> oh, my god.

8:04 am
that's about the length of time it would take to get to a place in the event of an attack. one of the employees clicked the wrong button not once but twice. the worker has been with the agency for ten years. he did not slept the option for drill. instead he clicked on the one that sent out the real alert. he has since been reassigned but he's not been fired. the government said when they do start testing the system again, he wants two people to be involved in the test. i can tell you in speaking with people on the island, many thought it was the end of the world. >> i can imagine. something hawaiians hopes never, ever happens again. president trump says an immigration compromise to save day ka may be dead. the talks stalled after the president's purported controversial comments. >> we're ready, willing, and able to make a deal on daca, but

8:16 am
br at cvs. >> let's talk about photoshopping. i happen to think it's okay. i've got to three rolls on my tummy, take it down to one. this is very serious. tell us how it works and how it came about. >> sure. i would say why we're doing this is first of all i'm a mother, i have two sons and two daughters and i look at how my girls consume media. we're bombarded with media every day and a couple of statistics that really hit us is that 80% of women feel worse about themselves after looking at beauty ads and 42% of girls in grades one through three want to be thinner. i think there's a whole conversation going on. for us as a big health care company, we felt this was a health issue. in fact, the american medical association has said that propagation of unrealistic body imagery is hurting our health. >> so we're going to look at the ads, helena, and see what?
8:17 am
how is that going to work? >> what we're committing to is any of the imagery you see in our stores will be real. we'll be honest with you and we'll give you a beauty mark that will say we didn't digitally alter it. and if we have certain partners who haven't to have a digitally altered focus, we'll say it's been di been digitally altered. >> do you think this will drive the purchases they make or make the experience in the store less oppre oppressive? >> i think this is a conversation young girls are already having. if you look at girls age 13/to 24, they're on youtube and the reason sna're going to youtube is they're saying i see imagery there that's realistic. i think if they can go to a store or website that reflects authenticity, they'll feel better about us, they'll trust us, and do more business with
8:18 am
us. >> it's almost empowering for young girls. i want to ask you something else that's launched same day or next day prescription delivery across the country. how is that working and is that a direct threat to amazon if, in fact, amazon does get into the prescription drug business as well? >> everything we do is with consumers in mind. we've been a consumer first. we debated whether we should put drive-through pharmacies in because they wouldn't walk in the store. for us it's about making it as easy as possible. we want people to get on and stay on the right medicines and we have 9,700 stores across the country, and we can be as close as possible to consumers and get themmer this medicines quickly. that's what we want to do. we started this in new york city. we'll be adding five other cities later this year and we'll be doing nationwide next day delivery also. >> can i go back to your campaign for a second?
8:19 am
i'm fascinated by what you said about youtube. are you finding that young girls are not looking at models anymore for inspiration and they're looking at youtube and they look like i do and not the model look? >> absolutely. they're saying celebrities aren't real. i want to relate to people who have my own imperfections and feel that i'm empowered by the fact i look like these people. it's a huge opportunity and it's what a lot of indy brands are doing so effectively and they're growing. they're tapping into them powerment among girls and they're hoping to fuel that with this conversation. >> let me ask you about the opioid crisis. cvs took measures to combat it. how is that working out in your end? >> very well. it's a devastating crisis in this country. we feel like we have a real responsibility and opportunity to help. >> what are you doing? >> so start i actually the 1st

8:21 am
as women we wear a lot of hats, we have many responsibilities. we're working, taking care of families. we're the chief health care officers of our families. first and fore foremost, we're coming with the mindset of taking care of women. the thing for women that's so fun about beauty, it's a little bit of guilt-free me time. so they can do that, take care of other people, but give themselves a little pleasure. and for women, looking good and feeling good are very much connected. people often ask me how does beauty fit in? women get it. >> i get lip gloss, i'm not going to lie. helena, thank you so much. >> thank you. the state department is rolling out a new system to warn about unsafe parts of the world. ahead we'll talk with travel editor peter greenberg and what he says about advisories. >> and apps can cause problems

8:35 am
biking trails. we've implemented changes to build a healthier city. >> some cities don't have walkways for people to walk to a grocery store. >> that's right. children can't walk to school in a lot of places because they don't have the infrastructure. we're trying to fix that. >> speaking of infrastructure, you're talking about not only your city and state but you talked to the president about the nation. what did you say? >> i talked with him about how local partners could talk with him. that's what he's looking for. he doesn't want the federal government being involved. he's looking for local governments to come up and even indian tribes to combine resources and say look how we can invest as it applies to infrastructure. >> when i talk to mayors, they say the thing is the money. where does the money come from. >> we've been creative. we put a penny on a dollar sales
8:36 am
tax for a number of years and for a time we've developed some confidence and it's allowed us to build a lot of infrastructure projects debt-free and on time. >> so this doesn't need a federal response in terms of federal money? because a lot of mayors are saying we're squeezing every penny we can get. they worry about driverless cars because there woernt beparking fees they can grab. >> fun of our projects require federal funding. sometimes we would get a few additional dollars thrown in because they like to pile on where local governments are investing. we did it with local money and meet the voters' expectations. >> 12% of oklahoma city's residents are foreign born. what are your thoughts on the president's views on immigration and daca in particular? >> immigration is a federal issue and they certainly have to secure the border. when the federal government fails to secure the border, it falls on local law enforcement across the country.

8:43 am
them, they decided it was dangerous. >> the new one breaks it down for every single country into four categories. exercise normal precautions, exercise increased caution, reconsider travel and do not travel. what gets very confusing is the fourth cat i go. most thing it's a ban. it's not a legal definition. it's still an advisory. look at mexico. you have five states in mention yeo in that fourth category. it's painted with the same broad brush. so tourism officials there are very worried because people are going to say, i'm not going. >> the reconsider travel, third, does that mean reconsider and i don't go at all or spend your time in a safe lit place? >> you're asking a rhetorical question because it's not defined. once you get beyond the first category which is exercise
8:44 am
normal caution. what does that mean? don't trip? increased, does that mean don't trip and fall? i'm not trying to be funny. most people don't know the difference. once you get beyond that second category, most people are going to say, i'm not going. >> how do they determine ta rating? >> it's broken down by crime, health, natural disaster, and terrorism. most are not going to get to that. they're going to hear those words and they're not going to go. >> what would make it easier? >> for me i won't go when i don't know who's in control. putting mazatlan in the same department as syria and yemen is not helping people. i would exercise my own normal precautions, i play bay their rules and go. >> my favorite daughter kirby went to mexico this weekend. i told her don't go. she called the state department and said i'm going. >> she should have called peter instead. >> i was not happy about that.
