[ coughing ] horrific details are coming to light about the abuse suffered by 13 children locked away in a suburban house of horrors. authorities say they were beaten, strangled, and chained, and that was just the start of it. here's david begnaud. >> the victims report that as a punishment starting many years ago they began to be tied up. first with ropes. >> reporter: district attorney mike hestrin provided the first chilling details of the abuse allegedly inflicted on the 13 turpin children over the last eight years. regular beatings, strangulation, and starvation. >> one of the children at age 12 is the weight of an average 7-year-old. >> reporter: the torture allegedly occurred at three different homes, intensifying in recent years. the kids were chained in rooms for weeks, even months at a time. not even allowed to go to the restroom.

>> several of the victims have cognitive impairment and neuropathy, which is nerve damage, as a result of this extreme and prolonged physical abuse. none of the victims were allowed to shower more than once a year. one of the reasons for the punishments were if the children were found to wash their hands above the wrist area they were accused of playing in the water and they would be chained up. supposedly home-schooled, the children lacked even a basic knowledge of life. many of the children didn't know what a police officer was. about the only thing the children were allowed to do in their rooms or chained up was to write in journals. we now have recovered those journals, hundreds of them. they would buy food including pies, apple pies, pumpkin pies, leave it on the counter, let the children look at it, but not eat the food. >> reporter: the children were discovered after their 17-year-old sister escaped through a window. she called police in a plan that

was apparently in the making for the last two years. she took another sibling with her who eventually got scared and went back. three of the kids were chained when the police arrived. construction crews in california are still struggling to clear tons of rocks, trees, and other debris left from last week's devastating mudslides. 128 homes were destroyed and hundreds more damaged, and 20 people were killed. jamie yuccas reports. >> reporter: mud, cars, and remnants of 100-year-old trees now fill 11 debris fields in montecito. >> this debris flow was over 1,000 feet wide. >> reporter: so three football fields' worth of debris came slamming in. >> yeah. >> reporter: tom fayram is in charge of clearing all this out. he says each of these rocks weighs up to five tons. the mudslide was so large it changed the elevation in some neighborhoods by as much as six

>> announcer: this is the "cbs overnight news." daughter of actor and director woody allen, is repeating her allegations of sexual assault at the hands of her father. when she was 7 years old farrow told her mother that allen had molested her. allen has always denied the allegations and has never been charged with a crime. farrow first went public in 2014 with an open letter in the "new york times." now for the first time she's addressing the incident on camera during a chat with gayle king. >> i want to show my face and tell my story. i want to speak out, literally. >> reporter: dylan farrow is 32 and has been married for almost eight years. she's a mother of a 16-month-old

girl, and she's still carrying the emotional scars she says she got at the hands of her father. >> i loved my father. i respected him. he was my hero. and that doesn't obviously take away from what he did, but it does make the betrayal and the hurt that much more intense. >> let's go to august 4th, 1992. and if you could tell us what happened that day. >> i was taken to a small attic crawlspace in my mother's country house in connecticut. by my father. he instructed me to lay down on my stomach and play with my brother's toy train that was set up. and he sat behind me in the doorway and as i played with the toy train i was sexually

assaulted. as a 7-year-old i would have said he touched my private parts. >> okay. >> which i did say. >> all right. all right. >> as a 32-year-old, he touched my labia and my vulva with his finger. >> reporter: where was your mother? >> she went shopping that day. >> then after you told her, what happened? >> she was upset. my first impulse was that i had done something wrong. >> reporter: mia farrow took dylan to the pediatrician, but when the doctor asked her where she had been touched the little girl pointed to her shoulder. >> she said why didn't you tell the doctor what you told me? and i told her that i was embarrassed. and then we went back in. >> you went back in and then you told him. >> then i told the doctor. >> the same thing that you had told your mother. >> yes. >> reporter: allen had suggested that dylan changed her story because she had been coached by her mother. months earlier mia had found in his apartment nude pictures of her daughter soon yi, whom she had adopted during an earlier marriage. allen confessed to an affair with soon yi.

the two remain a couple to this day, married for more than 20 years. >> you could see why he might make that claim. he would say she was filled with rage after his affair with soon yi had been discovered and that she was out for revenge and full of rage. >> and what i don't understand is how is this crazy story of me being brainwashed and coached more believable than what i'm saying about being sexually assaulted by my father? >> because your mother was very angry, so that she would try to coach you and try to get you to turn against your father. >> except every step of the way my mother has only encouraged me to tell the truth. she's never coached me. >> i wanted to play a clip from "60 minutes," an interview that he did at the time where he was asked about that incident. are you okay with looking at it? you're okay? >> isn't it illogical that i'm going to at the height of a very

bitter acrimonious custody fight drive up to connecticut where nobody likes me and as i'm in a house full of enemies, i mean, mia was so enraged at me and she had gotten all the kids to be angry at me, that i'm going to drive up there and suddenly on visitation pick this moment in my life to become a child molester? it's just incredible. if i wanted to be a child molester i had many opportunities in the past. i could have quietly made a custody settlement with mia in some way and done it in the future. i mean, you know, it's so insane. >> what do you say to that? >> i'm really sorry. >> don't apologize. don't apologize. >> i thought i could handle it. >> are you crying because of what he said or seeing him? what is upsetting you? >> he's lying. and he's been lying for so long. and it is difficult for me to

see him and to hear his voice. i'm sorry. >> reporter: allen had adopted dylan and her 13-year-old brother moses the previous december. the couple also had a younger son ronan. but as mia farrow's boyfriend allen had been a part of dylan's life since she was a baby. dylan says that the incident in the attic wasn't the only time his behavior had been inappropriate. >> what would he do? >> he would follow me around. he was always touching me, cuddling me. and if i ever said, you know, like i want to go off by myself he wouldn't let me. >> some could say that's a very doting and loving father. >> except he wasn't this way with ronan. >> what else would he do? >> he often asked me to get into bed with him when he had only his underwear on. and sometimes when only i had my underwear on. >> reporter: woody allen was never charged with a crime in this case.

both new york state child welfare investigators and a report by the yale new haven hospital found that the abuse did not happen. the connecticut stte prosecutor on the case, frank maco, questioned the yale new haven report's credibility, saying there was probable cause to charge allen but he thought dylan was too fragile to face a celebrity trial. >> do you wish that they would have gone ahead and filed the charges? because then you would have to have taken the stand. >> you know, honestly, yes, i do wish that they had. you know, even if i'm just speaking in retrospect. i was already traumatized. here's the thing. i mean, outside of a court of law we do know what happened in the attic on that day. i just told you. >> we reached out to former connecticut prosecutor frank maco earlier this week. he tells us that in his experience there was no manipulation by mia farrow. he adds nothing in the state police investigation indicated that dylan was in any way being controlled or manipulated by her mother.

in a statement to "cbs this morning" woody allen writes in part, "even though the farrow family is cynically using the opportunity afforded by the time's up movement to repeat this discredited allegation, that does not make it any more true today than it was in the past. i never molested my daughter." now, you can read his full statement at cbsthismorning.com. it's a very lengthy statement. he has a response to what she's saying today.

this morning, wake island. >> reporter: this is the dawn's earliest light. the first rays of sun that shine down on u.s. soil. every morning america wakes up on wake island. guam claims to be where america's day begins. but that's not technically true. 1,500 miles further east, right next to the international dateline, there's a tiny speck of land, a military base where the sign on the air strip once read "where america's day really begins." there just aren't that many americans out here full-time who get to see it. >> well, permanently there's only four of us. >> reporter: captain alan jame spent the past year as commander of detachment 1, four airmen out in the middle of the ocean. >> you are on american soil. does it feel like that? >> no. it feels like we are our own little country is really what it feels like. >> reporter: wake is an atoll. three small islands.

annexed by the u.s. in 1899 after the navy decided they might have strategic significance. before that the place was thought to be, well, for the birds. hundreds of thousands of them. >> this place really belongs to the birds. you know, for millions of years that's all that was here. >> reporter: the atoll is a national wildlife refuge. researcher john gelardi periodically comes to wake to study the migratory sea birds like the terns that stop here on their journey across the ocean. as soon as humans took to the skies we started using wake in the exact same way. it was and is an important refueling stop for aircraft heading out across the pacific. it may be the world's most scenic gas station. >> nice. >> ultimately it's a government installation and it's used for operational purposes.

it's not a vacation spot. you know. >> if you're civilian and you want to come -- >> right. you can't. >> reporter: that wasn't always the case. pan american passengers used to explore wake on luxurious layovers. >> at wake island, transformed from a desolate coral strand to a club-like airport, come relaxation and refueling. >> reporter: pan am built a hotel here in 1935, and tourists would fish and snorkel in the pristine waters. but wake wasn't a paradise for long. >> in an hour and five minutes the battleship "arizona" was completely destroyed. >> reporter: on 1941, on the same day that japanese forces bombed pearl harbor, they also attacked wake island. >> december 7th, 1941, a date which will live in infamy. >> reporter: except on the other side of the dateline it was actually december 8th. for two weeks a group of brave marines and civilian contractors held off the japanese. >> prepare to engage. >> reporter: the oscar-nominated

1942 film "wake island" depicts the battle -- >> open fire. >> open fire! >> reporter: -- in which far greater casualties were suffered by the japanese. eventually, though, the american fighters were overwhelmed. most were shipped off to internment camps in asia. but not all. >> 98 p.o.w.s were kept and they just did hard labor for the japanese. >> reporter: 98 rock is a hastily carved memorial to those men. after a year and a half the prisoners were executed by the japanese. but not before one managed to swim across the lagoon and scratch out the date that he and 97 other civilians were massacred. the united states retook wake two years later. today civilian contractors still play a large role on wake. on any given day there may be 100 or so people here, working to maintain roads and runways. every two weeks a flight from honolulu makes the six-hour journey to deliver new supplies and personnel.

>> the first day after that airplane arrives is the day people are looking forward to because it's fresh food. >> reporter: in the dining hall you'll notice thai dishes on the menu. over half the workforce is thai. some, like sa-ling sak, have lived out here for decades. >> so you're an old-timer. what does that mean? how long have you been on wake? >> well, i started on '91. >> oh, really? >> yeah. >> reporter: i visited wake on the last night of captain jame's deployment. like most nights the entire island was hanging out at drifter's reef, wake's only bar. the karaoke goes late into the evening. and for a minute it's easy to forget you're thousands of miles from home. thousands of miles from anywhere. there's no place like this in the world. >> i can't say enough about how great this experience has been. it's been a highlight of my life for sure. >> reporter: when the sun sets on wake island, it hasn't even come up yet in new york. for the rest of america wake island lies firmly in the future. but for the few who have lived

millions of americans will be waking up this morning to a hot cup of coffee and a frigid drive to work. in other parts of the world the problem is not the chill but the heat. and what it's doing to the coffee crop. mark phillips has details in this morning's "climate diaries." >> reporter: to many it's the other dark liquid that powers the world. coffee. but because of the damage being done to the planet by the primary dark liquid, oil, along with other fossil fuels, coffee is in trouble and so are the farmers that grow it. is this a good harvest year or not so good? >> it is not so good. >> reporter: up here in the mountains of eastern uganda coffee is the most important thing they grow. anthony and vincent kabala's family have been growing it on their farm about 4,000 feet up the slopes of mt. elgon for

generations. lately, though, they've been having problems they've never had before. it turns out coffee is as fussy as the people who drink it. it likes the right altitude, the right temperature, and the right amounts of rain and sunshine in the right order. it's the goldilocks of crops that likes things just right. not enough rain, too much sunshine, bad fruit. >> yes. too much sunshine produces bad fruits. >> reporter: another farmer, another farm, another problem. this fine white powder is produced by the stem borer beetle which sam masa says is just one of the pests and diseases which have come up from the valleys as the weather has warmed. >> ten years back it was not here. most of the farms have been destroyed completely, totally by this stem borer. >> reporter: coffee yields have been dropping and prices are up by as much as 30% in some areas since 2015.

more than just a consumer's morning pick-me-up is threatened. the farmers are caffeine dependent for another reason. from picking the berries to processing them to drying and sorting the beans and getting them to market, this is a family business where every member of the family contributes. and where the cash from selling the coffee provides the only income to pay for schools for the kids and for medical care. there's actually an imbalance in the coffee world. the retail is controlled by the big brands, the big distributors. but the production comes from little family almost vegetable size patch farms like this. if production fails here, the big boys can go somewhere else. these people can't go anywhere. for the people who consume coffee it's about a drink. for the people who produce it and depend on it it's about life. mark phillips, cbs news, on mt. elgon, uganda.
