a white house reporter as you have, but there are ethical questions why no one in the white house did this. also there's questions. the reason why fbi doesn't give clearance is you're open to blackmail. that's the issue. >> his job is to help the white house get in ship shape, you know, a little bit of improvisational white house. did they handle these issues in the ship shape way you're supposed to handle these kinds of issues or were they finding a way to keep him on the job and minimalizing these allegations. >> and finally, the fiscal abuse toward women, there must be zero tolerance when that happens. >> it's disturbing to hear they knew about it and he's still on the job. >> there's definitely going to be more on this. also news out of north korea because north korea is greeting the start of south korea's olympics by showing after its military might. soldiers showed off tanks,

club gymnast. doug and judy powell's daughter cassie was a pole vaulter at michigan state university. kyle keiser took her daughter to him after her daughter was injured. tempers erupted last week and while the parents we spoke with are angry, they agreed the biggest priority is to change the system. >> you were talking about an expletive earlier, doug. >> you're a [ bleep ] hog, a hog. >> we saw randall margraves rush him. did you understand where he was coming from? >> oh, absolutely. absolutely. if i thought that for a second that it would have done anyth g anything, he was from me to you, to rush him and choke him out.

but what good is that going to do me, and what good is that going to do for cassie. >> we saw people in many different states of agreement when we saw mr. margraves' reaction, i was just so sad. i was just so sad. it with us not my reaction, but i knew his. we know in the continuum of emotion, we've all been there. >> when your daughters first told you about this, i mean was it hart for you at first to believe them? >> no. >> no. >> no. >> it was difficult for us, you know. we talked to our kids as they grew up and coming from a law enforcement background and perspective, nothing good ever happens after midnight. go home, don't do this, don't do this. be conscious of what you're doing. how do you guard from a doctor? how do you put that guard in your daughter's mind? it's sanding and sickening. >> i don't think for us it was as much as not believing her, but not believing that something

like that could have happened. i was in the room when he was doing the treatment and he positioned them such that -- i mean i even stood up. i'm a nurse. i stood up to see what he was doing and i said, what are you massaging right now. and he said we just have to loosen those tendons, ligaments, muscles in that area and that will help the scoliosis that you have in your back. cassie told me in the car, i'm never going back there again. i said, why. and she said, he had his hand inside me and he talked her back into letting him do that. he made it seem like without this area adjusted, she would never be able to be the pole vaulter she wanted to be. >> he had done good work with her from the age of 10 to 13 as a gymnast. became a diver. bro eck her back as a divinger. had gone to several places for help. and she was home one time and was like, let's go to larry. that was my moment, you know,

that he'd fixed her before. so -- excuse me -- so when she went and had -- we don't even know what it is. none of us know. a broken back, a broken tailbone. so when he described what he was going to have to do and like it will be pretty invasive, i'm going, whatever we have to do. i want my child out of pain. if this is going to work, let's go. >> what was it like knowing something was wrong? >> for us, it was horrible. for me, i'm a failure. you know, my job is to protect my baby girl and i didn't do it. and so that's something that we're going to live with forever. we had no other choice. you know, we had to turn our daughter over to the u.s. gymnasti gymnastics. we were told we'll take care of maggie. don't worry about maggie. when we traveled to the meets, we couldn't go to the hotel. we couldn't stay at the hotel. we could not be in any situation

to help protect our daughter. we had to fully turn over trust. >> do you think that was by design? >> yes. >> more than just to build these super competitors. >> no question. >> to what? cover up abuse? >> i don't know. i don't know. but there's so much more to this that needs to be found out because each and every one of them are intertwined. >> senator jeanne shaheen said this is not a simple case of negligence or fail euro of oversight. there is ample evidence that many were alerted multiple times to nassar's behavior and they found excuses to look the other way. >> yeah. that's kathy clay gas and people at michigan state who were alerted back in the '90s. you know, if you think about it. lindsey would have never been abused had they taken action back at that point because she was only 2. >> not one of our daughters. >> no. >> no way. >> when you look at this collection right here, our

daughters would not have walked through those doors. >> right. >> if other parents come to you and say, what should i do to make sure this doesn't happen to my daughter, what do you tell them? >> believe her. speak up. >> teach them that if something doesn't feel right -- >> exactly. >> -- no matter who it is, to say i'm not comfortable with this and i need you to stop. >> i think one other thing you tell your daughter, you'd have to tell them, don't trust anyone. you can't trust your church, you can't trust your priest, you can't trust your coach, you can't trust your doctor. >> i don't know that i want to teach my daughter not to trust anybody. i think i want to arm her with the tools that when she's in a situation -- i think had i taught caylee that when i'm uncomfortable that i believe at 13, she would have handled the situation differently. >> i want to ask quickly about the karolyis. they received some attention in this, but how guilty are the

karolyis, do you believe? >> 100% guilty. >> do you think they knew? >> yes. because to me, how could they not know. >> so have the karolyis been held accountable? >> no. >> we know that they're being investigated. that's all we know. >> i feel we've had one person. >> say that again, doug. >> i feel we've had one person. larry nassar. >> what do you think about larry nassar? >> i don't care about him. he's one off the list. >> there's more of the other people that are come. in all of this. they need to step up and take responsibility or it needs to be taken care of. >> that's what cassie said. if you could put in one hand all of those institutions, msu, usag, usoc, if you could pun in one hand they genuinely picked her up, given her a hug or said

i screwed up so bad or our community screwed up so bad, if she had that in this hand and $20 million in the other hand, she'd rather have what's in this hand because her psyche has changed. she's different, nontrusting, and that shouldn't be how we have to live. >> cbs news reached out to all those the panel named. the karolyis who trained at the ranch have not responded. they have said they did not know about the abuse. michigan state university and usa gymnastics also did not respond. they say they did not attempt to hide nas ar's miss contact. the coach declined to comment. they're launching an independent investigation into the decades-long abuse by larry nassar. i learned so much from speaking to these parents. >> i did too. >> all just incredible people and their daughters are suffering so much.

abuse and the aftermath of abuse lasts a lifetime. >> and because the daughters are suffered, parents are suffering too. as a parent the one thing you never want to fail at, it's protecting your children. while it's not their fault, you can see how they're taking it all in. >> from my personal view, is there something they could have done, the daughters' parents, i'm not sure they could have. this man was so sick and manipulative and the onus lies on the executives who knew about this for decades and couldn't stop it. the girls reported it. the girls reported the behavior that they felt uncomfortable about it. >> but the woman who was a nurse in the room who didn't know it shows how sick he was. >> you don't want to teach your children to trust no one because then you're coming out of this, the lesson is treat everything like a barren scape of no human contact. if that's the solution, that's -- that's what's so tough about this. >> this is going to continue because more people need to be held accountable.

that's the only way it will never happen again. >> and it should continue. george clooney is opening up about his wife and young twins. you know they've got two babies now. ahead, why the actor tells david letterman, he'll be an old man before he can get back to his hobbies. plus the challenge of counting more than 19,000 animals. an effort is under way to track every creature great and small at the london zoo. you're watching "cbs this morning." we'll be right back. i like these yogurt bites.

out there, so exciting, that is right, it is very cold as well, let me show you the numbers regional wide, 27 degrees in philadelphia, and it is 25 degrees in wilmington. we are 24 in allentown cold spot on the map, mount pocono checking in right around 14 and then factor in the wins on top, winds from the north west at 10 to 15. it feels like 15 degrees in center city and it will not feel much better throughout the day-to-day. we are looking at a temperature at 11:00 start of the parade around 30 degrees but feel more like teens and 20's all the way through the parade and even as we head down to the art museum ceremony that takes place at 1:00 p.m. and air temperature of 32 but man it will feel much colder. your seven day forecast looks like this next chance for rain doesn't arrive until saturday night and sunday will see period of rain throughout the day but temperatures in the 50 's but all eyes are focusing on today, meisha. >> everybody out there bundled up heading out there very

early, some even camped out overnight, so what i want to talk to you about, we know it will start at 11:00 a.m. but some road closures that will go into place at 9:00 a.m. will close. they are closing earlier now just because of the sheer amount of people heading out there. particularly, south broad street and city hall. they will be closing earlier, then 9:00 a.m. other won will be out there until nine but city hall south broad street they are not. another quick peak at ben franklin bridge live shot bird eye view with the people crossing over the bridge, and also inbound remember ending at 9:30 a.m., rahel over to you. next update 8:55. ahead this morning and ex- convict who turned his life around is helping other do the same remarks hell solomon good

from a frightened farmer, police in scotland found themselves in a 45-minute standoff with a bengal tiger. that is, until they realize -- and this is true -- it was actually a stuffed animal. 45 minutes! i mean their first hint that it might be fake is when they realized it was a bengal tiger and they were in the middle of scotland. it was a pretty funny situation except for the guy across town who was getting mugged while police were monitoring a cuddly toy. >> wouldn't you think if a tiger didn't move for five minutes, ten minutes, 20 minutes, that it's not a legal tiger?

>> that's just what they want you to believe. >> oh. well, it worked in scotland. welcome back to "cbs this morning." it's 8:30. right now it's time to show you some of this morning's headlines. scott pruitt, the head of the epa is taking a new approach to global warming. he's now questioning whether warming is necessarily a bad thing. >> so i think there's assumptions made that because the climate is warming that that's necessary wily bad thing. do we know what the ideal surface temp should be? >> he wants a debate so americans can be informed. in the past he rejected the scientific that it's controlled by youtube says i more than 200 million different they say these recommendations drive more than 70% of its viewing time. viewers are often led to channels that lead to conspiracy

theories, partisan view points and misleading video even when they haven't shown interest in such content. that's very trouble joolg smart tvs including samsung and rokus are vulnerable to hacking. they looked at smart tvs. it found they all track what consumers watch. hackers were also able to take control of the samsung and other brands that use the smart roku tv platform. they say "consumer reports" got it wrong and users have no control. consumers say the vacuum changes, it goes up and down. that would be freaky to me. >> usually it's because i'm sitting on the remote. pessimism about old age may be a risk factor for those with dementia. older people who had positive beliefs about aging were 44% less likely to develop dementia

over the next four years of their life. that's compared to others who have negative beliefs.

end of this year, consumers will use more than 5 billion devices featuring digital assistants. nearly 3 million more will be added by 2021. dan ackerman of our partner cnet is here. do you have one? >> i do not have this. but i havic co-and other smart devices. >> that's what i mean. >> yeah. it's built into every phone. everyone who has a phone has smart assistant. >> $349 seems like a big price to pay for this. is it worth it? >> especially when you consider the device that a lot of people have, the amazon echo or the echo dot is like $99 or $50. so everyone who has tried this out -- and we tested one of these at euro smart home in kentucky, audio experts said it sounded fantastic. a great amazing sounding speaker as you would expect a $369 speaker to be. it does sound great, and it

does, but it's the far end of the spectrum. >> is there a competitive advantage on the smartphone part. does siri say something special or new or tell you you look wonderful? >> it's got the same basic siri that's built into your phone. if you like the phone experience, it's similar. some prefer alexa or the google assistant that is built into android phones or home which is google's version of the smart seeker device. >> "new york times" called it embarrassingly inadequate and sorely laking compared with amazon's alexa and google's assistant. is that going to affect sales? >> that's the t speakers. >> that doesn't sound like a good speak. >> don't yme? >> we've made fun of siri for years. but it's not the same as alexa. these companies take these

products and put them on. you have the smart end on one end and the speaker on the other. amazon says let's make it smart. amazon says let's make it a speaker first and smart stuff second. >> what do people want? do they want the speaker o or the information. >> they wanted the smart. you could always get a speaker at home. for am users, they're locked into their i phone. they may have a apple subscription. this is built for people who have that or want to have that all apple experience. >> i like that i have ue boom and other stuff that apple sells. i really like those. >> that's great. but if you have spotify or other music service, you can't beam to it. you can do it using airplay. but everyone likes the artist. >> i use my apple music a lot. it would work for me. >> it's custom made for you.

>> what's the next frontier on the assistant part. what are we getting soon that's going to make our lives amazing? >> i think we're getting to the paint now where we have multiusers. everyone in the house through voice resing on nation where it knows who you are. it can tell who's talking to it and give you personalized feedback. your calendar, music taste just by listened to your voice. >> thank you. george clooney and his wife mal. >> what's her name? >> amal clooney. >> john gets a take two. >> they talk about bringing an iraqi refugee to the united states. the couple teemed up with clooney's parents to sponsor an iraqi refugee and introduced him

to david letterman. >> hi, dave. >> hi. >> what are you guys doing this morning? >> apparently we're face timing our family with 50 cam are men or so in the kitchen, which is something that happened a lot. >> george, you and amal have heard this story before. i'm hearing it from him for the first time. can you imagine? >> yeah, well, david, i've had the privilege of representing a number of twhoes have been the victims of genocide perpetrated by isis over the last couple of years. that's when i met him. i remember being so struck by his courage but also this amazing spirit and how he spoke about even after everything he'd lost, he spoke about a desire for justice, not revenge. and he talked about the future and what his dreams were, and i remember him telling us we were all in new york. i was with george and nick and nina and he spoke about his
