>> but last night the nra said mr. trump wanted the opposite. chris cox tweet thad mr. trump and vice president pence want strong due process and don't want gun control. later mr. trump tweet thad the meeting went great. >> it destroys our companies and our jobs. >> yesterday mr. trump also made a surprise announcement detailing new tariffs on steel and i lum numb imports. >> you will have protection if the first time in a long while and you've got to regrow your industries. >> the tariffs, 25% on steel and 10% on alum newseum prompted fears of a trade showdown with china and other trading partners. that sent the dow plunged more than 400 points. republicans slammed the move. republican ben sasse said quote, you'd expect a policy this bad from a leftist administration, not a supposedly republican one. orrin hatch, a top gop voice on

trade called it a blunlder. >> whoever advised him on this is part of a reprimand. >> presidential confidante hope hicks announced her resignation and seen yore adviser jared kushner's business dealings are raising concerns about potential conflicts of interest. during a nostalgic visit to the department of homeland security chief of staff john kelly keeping the white house in line suggested he was cursed. >> i did something wrong and god punished me i guess. >> sources tell us that comment infuriated the president and there is also word from our sources that the national security adviser h.r. mcmaster long the subject of a rooster may now be in jeopardy. reports of mcmaster's imminent departure, fake news. john? >> thanks. sounds like there's a little chaos there in the briefing room. what's interesting about this is

this is not questions of white house propriety. there's actually the opposition of the staff making that kind of joan, mcmaster on his way out, unsure gun policy. tafrs. it's still so much disorder in the administration. >> this happened in one week. >> it's chaos in our executive branch. >> that's okay at the beginning, but now it accumulates. it makes it very hard to run the railroad. the president tweeted this morning trades are good. when other countries get cute don't trade anymore. we win big. it's easy. cbs business news analyst jill schlesinger is here to explain it all. good morning. tell us. who would the winners and losers be? >> obviously a doughmestic producer of steel or aluminum is going to

do really well. there will be major losers. the car industry, boeing who makes steel airplanes and even a beer company because a beer can is made of aluminum. there are some clear winners and losers. it may not be passed on to the consumer. some companies may have to eat that cost. we'll see. >> it's aluminum imports from all countries around the globe. how is that going to affect the u.s.'s standing internationally and what's the youtd come going to be? >> it's not just what happens to consumers but will this spark a trade war. despite what the president tweeted. in my mind anything that has war in it not good. so we're worried about retaliation. specifically in a weird way, the agricultural industry is on alert right now because many of the retaliatory measures could be aimed at the things that we export. so that could mean something like soybeans. we're a huge exporter of soybean

soybeans. >> a domino effect. thanks, jill as always. german president and leader angela merkel spoke by phone of russia's claim to have a new generation of nuclear weapons. it's raising concerns about a cold war-style arms race. elizabeth palmer is in london. elizabeth, good morning. >> good morning. yes, president putin's threats came in the state of the nation address and in a tone recalled the very chilliest days of the cold war. speaking to lawmakers, president putin warned that russia had developed an array of powerful new weapons with nuclear capability. the show piece, a new missile that was nuclear powered, he claimed, and has unlimited range so missile defense systems would

be useless against it. in an interview, he was asked if it is truly operational. >> do you have a workable icbm that is powered by nukes that you've tested successfully? >> all of those tests were successful. it's that each of the weapons is at a different stage of readiness. >> reporter: not a straight answer. and analysts doubt there's anything revolutionary in the arsenal. pentagon spokeswoman dana white. >> we're not surprised by the statements, and the american people should rest assure thad we are fully prepared. >> reporter: russia has long had a fear? arsenal, but it's old and needs updating. the innovations he mentioned in his speech like the unmanned submarine that could fire a nuclear warhead are part of a

modernization program but not at the start of a dangerous new arms race. >> it's natural to be worried about that. i don't see it on the sort of edge of our seats in terms of a potential nuclear conflict in any way, shape, or form but we do need to be vigilant about this. >> one other thing to keep in mind, mr. putin is facing a presidential election in less than three weeks and we all know that looking and talking tough goes down very well with russian voters. gayle? >> yes, it does. thank you very much for pointing out mr. putin's not a straight answer. we've got it. thank you, elizabeth. aly raisman is suing the usa gymnastics. in the lawsuit she claims both organizations could have done more to stop the former doctor's abuse. that comes on the same day that a male gymnast alleged in a difrmtd lawsuit that nassar abused him. anna werner is here to unveil the new information in the

a new report this morning pinpoints dangerous conditions that have apparently led to many deaths in facilities known as surgery centers across the u.s. the report by "usa today" network and kaiser health news takes an in-depth news at operations performed at these nonhospital facilities. it found more than 260 patients have died after surgery center procedures since 2013. tony dokoupil is here with what the investigation shows. tony, good morning. >> good morning. a lot to this investigation. surgery centers focus on routine same-day operations and the industry says this can make for cheaper, faster, and more convenient service than a hospital, but when something goes wrong during a surgery, the hospital may be the safer operation. >> i said go get 'em, bud. that's the last thing i said to him. >> there was no reason for scott and sandy to think that they'd have to say good-bye when their

12-year-old son ruben had his tonsils removed in 2016. >> the surgeon said this is not going well. she told us he had coded and they called the ambulance. >> an ambulance because the procedure wasn't at a hospital but at more than one of 5,600 surgery centers across the u.s. there are now more surgery centers than the hospital. >> we were watching them work on our boy. and one nurse would talk to us. and then the doctor said it was done. >> a federal report shows a paramedic who arrived to treat ruben received no response from the facility staff when she inquired who was in charge of cpr. in response to a lawsuit, the center and one of the doctors claimed ruben's death was the result of pre-existing conditions, acts of others or conditions over which they had

no control or responsibility. the case was uncovered by a "usa today" report. >> we had reporters in multiple states digging through court records, autopsy records. >> christine ju wet was one of those reporters. there have been over 260 ranging from routine procedures like colonoscopies to tonsillectomies. >> the majority of the cases go great in these facility bus what we found is that some of the patients are not appropriate for the seth. they might be too sick. some of the surgeries might be too complicate and we found that sometimes the centers just aren't prepared. >> reporter: reports show they have discovered 20030 lapses in equipment or training since 2013. >> this report is doing a

disservice to patients. >> bill prentice heads the ambulatory service center which ( represents these facilities. >> you'd see we're a very safe site of service. >> he says the fact that 9d 0% of these centers are at least partially owned by physicians gives them greater responsibility for everything that happens there. cbs news medical correspondent dr. jon lapook works at an out patient facility that closely monitors. >> i think the patients are being recommended to an outpatient surgery facility, i think it's reasonable to say are you a part owner of that. >> if the answer is yes? >> you have to go back and forth, do i really need this? why am i doing it in this facility versus another facility? is it just as safe?

>> perhaps the most profiled was joan rivers who stopped breathing in 2014. her daughter melissa filed a malpractice suit saying the doctors took cell phone pictures of the sedated star and fumbled in their responses. the two sides reached a settlement in 2016. they had to dig hart to learn about the cases we hadn't heard about. >> it shouldn't take a team to answer these basic questions. there really should be something for patients to turn to find out what is the safest center in my area. >> reporter: they agree they need a better system for reporting problems and a simpler way for patients to compare the price and quality of care. >> we're not about trying to hide from an adverse event because the only way you're going learn from it and improve it to make sure it never happens again is by making sure people know about it. >> of course, there are risks for any procedure wherever it

happens. if you're considering a surgery center dr. lapook recommends asking about backup plans in case something goes wrong and looking at how long it would take to get you to the hospital. if it's long distance and your underlying health is poor you might want to have that procedure at the hospital in the first place. >> that's very good advice. >> indeed. >> i'm thinking, what do you do. you like the cost of it and you hear people say it's safe. on the other hand when something goes wrong in a routine center -- >> what everyone agrees is more data is needed. >> that's the thing. you're trying to get more data about your underlying issue itself and then to get more data about where to get that issue taken care of very complicated. >> very interesting. coming up next a look at other headlines

it's friday, march 2nd 2018. ahead raining a flooding. along with a threat of new mudslides in california. plus former cia director michael morell with a look at the new cold war against russia and a possible threat to the homeland. but first here's your "eye opener" at 8:00. two dangerous winter storms are threatening millions of americans on both sides of the country this morning. >> we can see anywhere up to 60-mile-per-hour wind gusts before it's all said and done and that could mean severe flooding. >> people are trying to get out of town. about a quarter of the flights at boston logan have been canceled and it could grow throughout the day. >> it could be huge from the coastline to the carolinas. >> the top officials of the

national rifle association met at the white house with the president. subsequent tweets then indicated both sides were back on the same page. >> president putin's threats came in the annual state of the nation address and in both language and in tone recalls the very chilliest days of the cold war. >> after a night of talking with a man, a man blacked out. instead of taking a uber back to campus, he accidentally took a ride back to his house in new jersey and the ride cost him $1,600. honestly in terms of things that happen when you black out in wj this is actually one of the best outcomes i've ever heard. a $1,600 uber bill is high. >> a wakeup call. >> norah o'donnell is on assignment for "60 minutes."

always glad to have you. >> glad to be here. powerful storms are bashing people along the east and west coast this morning. the strong system in the west could dump seven feet of snow in the sierra mountains. rain in southern california could bring new mudslides where 21 people were killed in january. a flash flood warning was just posted in the region. a nor'easter is blasting the atlantic coast with a triple threat of wind coastal flooding, and snow. parts of western new york and pennsylvania have already gotten more than a foot. coastal cities expect a higher danger of flooding because we're at the highest high tide of the month. after last night's full moon. storm surges in boston could reach 4 feet. >> president trump may be backing off a pledge to tighten gun safety laws. in a tweet the president said he had a great oval office meeting last night with the nra's chief lobbyist chris cox but he tweeted they quote, support the

second amendment, support strong due pro serks and don't want gun control. that was not mr. trump's message earlier this week when he challenged lawmakers to defy the nra and get tough in disarming people thought to be dangerous. >> don't worry about the nra. they're on our side. half of you are afraid of the nra. there's nothing to be afraid of. if you're not with them, you have to fight them every once in a while, that's okay. >> the president agrees with raising the age of certain firearms. >> they have great pow e over you people. they have less power over me. take the guns first, go through due process second. >> this morning the white house press secretary said the nra does not have concerns with the president. the group reportedly gave $31 million to the 2016 trump campaign. a new report warns isis followers in the middle east may be plotting a chemical attack on

making it here. it's difficult to transport. difficult to get. i think it's easier to make iter. how easy? >> bachelor's degree chemical degreerks easy to do. >> how hard is it to deploy a chemical weapon? >> it's difficult to make it work and spread widely. most people think you need to spread it with explosives but that actually deteriorates some of the chemicals. it's difficult to do but if you know what you're doing and they do, it can rattal lot of cages. >> he said the world isn't listening to us but they're listening now. who is he talking snb. >> they're talking about vladimir putin and the speech he gave. i think he's talking to his own people because he has an election coming up. he wants to look tough.

>> he's also -- he was always talking to us and he wu talking to us in two ways. one is he is deeply concerned that our missile defense will degrade his ability to use nuclear weapons to strike us and that's why he's developing these exotic weapons that can get around missile defense. the other thing he was doing was talking to us about north cree yachlt when he said if you attack us or our allies, we will attack you. that was a message about north korea. we now have china saying several months ago if you the united states attack north korea. we will fight the u.s. on north korea's behalf. now we have russia joining that. >> if that were the case why would putin be saying authentics that sound like they're coming straight out of the cold war? >> because as i said before we're in a cold war again without a doubt. when you look at the russian invasion of georgia, the russian invasion of ukraine, the russian

intervention in syria, in our election, the attack last week by russian mercenaries on u.s. troops in syria, we're in a cold war again. he understands that. he's fighting it. we're slow to figuring thats out. >> yet do we understand that? the state department said there was no need to increase sanctions because the russians are being deterred. are they being deterred by u.s. policy in. >> they're not being deterd at all. everyone has said exactly that. >> is it your expectation that mike rogers said it. is it your expectations he will get that authority and deploy more resources? >> it doesn't sound like that know. >> who is vladimir putin. when you look eye to eye, you see these pictures of steely cold eyes. >> he is a thug he's a bull ychl he only believes in

relative power, how much do you have, how much do i have. bullies will continue to move forward in the face of weakness. they will stop when they get punched in the nose. we have not punched him in the u.s. >> he does not seemg to take the u.s. seriously, does he? >> no he does not. >> all right, michael morell. >> bracing. >> yeah. you're going to leave us with that. thank you very much. >> you ear welcome. the u.n. wants to evacuate nearly 00 parents facing medical emergencies in a besieged area outside the capital. syria's government says rebels are attacking the u.s. with rockets. seth doane went to a school in damascus and met students who are going to class even though war is raging all around them. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. this school is a couple of miles from rebel-held ghouta which puts it dangerously close to the front lines. tell other mortars fell in day

politics but does know about fear. >> what to you do when you get scared? >> i get in my room and i shut the door because i think that bombs are going to drop down on us. >> reporter: about 10% of the students fled from other war-torn places but war found them again. across syria in both rebel held areas a number of schools have been destroyed. so for all of the concerns here at least this one is still standing. alex? >> seth doane in damascus. >> they're canceling school because of wind and they're suspending school because of warplanes. >> and those children have been devastate fwitd war in syria. coming up "48 hours" looks

"new york times" reporter jodi kantor joins us. she's one of the "times" reporters who broke the harvey

weinstein story. i love jane rosenthal says pandora's pissed. this seems like this could be a very awkward red carpet for ryan seacrest and for the actress. is it a red carpet reckoning or do you hear people saying let's get back to business? what are you seeing? >> the plan was supposed to be get back to business. the oscars producers said they didn't want to focus on the harassment and abuse claims. the "tiemme's up" activists said they were going to sit it out and yet thissish keeps coming up again and again and again, most notably with the ryan seacrest allegations and the very awkward situation on the red carpet. >> and you have publicists saying we're going to steer our clients away from ryan s

ee krevgts yetseecrest yet others are going to stay with him. do you think that mode is changing? >> these are very contested allegations. they're very detailed they're very clear. there was a pretty devastating "variety "variety" piece but he's certain. >> and she's sticking with her story too. >> yes. there is an incredible moment of awkwardness here and it highlights what many say is a problem with the red carpet. it highlights the fact that this is a business in which men get nominated for the producing and directing awarding and the women ask who are you wearing. >> let's step back a second. in the context of the oscars and the awkwardness, it used to be place where where they knew about harvey weinstein and what he was doing and talked about how wonderful and graduate great he was. isn't there a bigger awkwardness to the entire oscars event? >> i think that's a great point. what we have to see is do we

look back at the end of the show and say this is an oscar this acknowledged the change acknowledged this turn in hollywood history that was unprecedent or is this an oscar to sweep everything under the rug and get back to business. >> it's an award show but movies are the way we think about ourselves and reflect our culture back to ourselves. it's more than just an award. >> actually and oscars are the occasion for topical jokes. they avoid then toic. oh you're going avoid the biggest news story in this center? >> there was going to be a move management 'ask her more." do you feel we've reached a turning point? >> i'll tell you something that's come up in a lot of the reporting i've done. many actresses are very uncomfortable on the red carpet. they don't want to say so because they want to be good sports, they want to promote their films and they have contracts with fashion houses but they see it up close more

than everybody that. they say there's too much time and attention and money devoted to appearances. this is not about my work. i want my project taken seriously. don't want to be trotted around like a dog show or something. and when we saw at the golden globes this new approach to the red carpet that mirrored the frustration people have felt for a long time. >> and you're going to be on the red carpet. >> i'm going to be there to bear witness to see the change that happened in hold this year or pnot. >> that's right. or not. >> how everybody navigates the water. two nfl opponents are putting competition aside as congressional interns. >> i answer calls, send out e-mails to the constituents. >> that's a big switch from your usual job. >> right, right. traded one playbook for the intern playbook. >> ahead, our series

guys are very supportive of one another and most guys had my opinion that if you wanted to do that it's within your rights. >> like public figures and that e're vague deep interview. >> reporter: they both found d.c. isn't as divided as it seems. >> there are tons of bills and resolutions every day that i've been researching that have a lot of bipartisan support. >> wouldn't think of a republican or democrat being on other side as an opponent. think you're on the seam team. ultimately at the end of the day they have to come together for the team to progress or win. >> reporter: their externships end today. why they learned a lot, they have advise too. >> you can't skip a leg day. you can't go in with huge arms and small legs. >> i've been doing it all wrong. >> great advice for all of us. the average nfl career only lasts three years, believe it or not. and that's a big part of the reason that the players association started this

externship program five years ago. >> indeed. you need to do it to get anything passed these days. >> very good point. >> i love that they're doing it. >> it's great. >> jefferson said that too. never skip leg day. >> you can hear more of "cbs this morning" on our podcasts on itunes and apple's podcast. we preview sunday's oscars. up next we'll look at all that mattered this week. you're watching "cbs this morning."
