>> reporter: monday hurricane hunters flew through the storm for the first time as it gained strength in the atlantic. >> we will know more what kind of threat it really poses to miami-dade county. >> reporter: the mayor of flood prone miami-dade county is watching the hurricane closely. >> the storm surge is really the thing that kills the most people, so that's what we're really worried about. >> reporter: storm sunch is when the sea level rises during intense storms pushing water ashore leading to flooding. a recent study found florida has 2.7 million properties at risk, the most in the u.s. miami beach averages around 4 feet above sea level and fighting flooding at high tide on a regular basis. last month, heavy rain turned the city streets into rivers. the anti flood pumps failed during a power outage. the city has ordered portable backup generators but the mayor warned the pumps may not be enough. >> these pumps were designed for normai
7:06 am
level rise. they will be helpful in the event of a storm but they're not designed for hurricanes. >> reporter: it has been more than 100 years since two category 4 hurricanes have made u.s. landfall within the same year and with harvey fresh on everyone's minds the concerns here in south florida is of course if irma makes landfall it could also be disastrous. >> thank you very much. pictures from space show the size of hurricane irma. jeff jameson of our cbs station ktvt is tracking it. good morning. >> good morning. hurricane irma on the verge of becoming a cat 5. it's a very strong category 4 hurricane right now. marching west toward the northern leeward islands, puerto rico where we have hurricane warnings, possible landfall at least across some of those later on tonight and it takes that turn to the northwest, still moving over open waters on the official track toward florida by late
7:07 am
our computer models are in remarkable agreement with this storm including the american computer model which moves it close to the national hurricane track through sunday making a landfall possibly near the keys on sunday morning the european track very similar moving it up toward southern florida sunday as well. florida obviously watching this storm closely. >> thanks, jeff. in a few hours jeff sessions is expected to announce the end of a program protecting nearly 800,000 immigrants brought to the united states legally as children. cbs news confirms that president trump plans to let the program known as daca end. the obama administration started daca five years ago. it allows young immigrants to obtain work permits and avoid deportation. we're at the white house where mr. trump's decision follows months of debate. >> reporter: the president is expected to wind down daca but not immediately rescind
7:08 am
or deport their recipients. he'll urge congress to craft new laws which begins yet another public fight over whether young undocumented immigrants should get legal protections. >> this is impacting all of us here. >> these are the children who have made america great. >> reporter: activists outside the white house monday night urged president trump to uphold legal protections for children whose parents illegally entered the country. hwang came into the country at age of 11. president trump has struggled with the decision, even praising the young immigrants known as d.r.e.a.m.ers. >> we love the d.r.e.a.m.ers. we love everybody. >> reporter: prominent parties encouraging mr. trump not to immediately end the program. they argue that daca is the result of presidential overreach by president obama who created
7:09 am
2012. candidate trump promised to shut it down. >> i will immediately terminate president obama's illegal executive order on immigration. >> reporter: but as president mr. trump said he was reconsidering. >> the daca situation is a very, very -- it's a very difficult thing for me, because you know, i love these kids. i love kids. >> reporter: maria could be deported when her work permit expires next february. >> this news has affected the lyes of hundreds of thousands of people like my cousin, like myself, like many other people who have grown up here who are feeling really scared and anxious. >> reporter: jeff sessions considers the daca program unconstitutional. later today he will explain the trump adadministration's decisi and how it will be enforced. wae states of new york and
7:10 am
court. >> a lot of emotions at play on this. thank you very much, margaret. >> nancy is on capitol hill where congress is returning after its august recess. the immigration issue was the latest addition to a calendar already jam packed. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. even before hurricane harvey hit congress was facing a very daunting september agenda. they need to raise the debt ceiling and fund the government, two things that can be pretty controversial with conservatives and now on top of that they've got this new request from the white house. more than $7 billion essentially a down payment on relief funding for hurricane relief funding in texas. that funding has a lot of support on both sides. leaders are thinking they'll roll it into a bill to raise the debt ceiling, the thought being that the texas aid will make it harder for anyone to vote no on the larger bill. republican leaders are hopin
7:11 am
get all of this out of the way quickly without a fight because what they really want to focus on this fall is tax reform. dramatically lowering the corporate rate and individual rates too, a chance for what you might call a republican do over after the party's plan to repeal obamacare fell apart this summer. all of this is sure to come up when congressional leaders meet with the president at the white house later today. >> thank you very much. a new north korean missile test could be imminent. a report says north korea is moving what appears to be an intercontinental ballistic missile toward a launch pad. the united states is pushing for the strongest possible sanctions against kim jong-un's regime over its sixth and largest nuclear test on sunday. they could target its oil supply. the security council held an emergency meeting. we're in seoul where concern about military conflict is growing. ben, good morning to
7:12 am
>> reporter: so south korea does want to see tougher sanctions on north korea and that's in part because they're trying to avoid a military conflict here which would almost certainly involve horrific loss of life here in seoul which is less than 35 miles from the north korean border but just a prospect on the war here has south korea looking for more powerful weapons. south korea showed off its fire power. first it was the army and air force. now it's the navy conducting live fire drills off the country's east coast. south korean president and presidents trump spoke on the phone and agreed to lift restrictions that will allow seoul to increase the explosive power of its missiles and to buy billions more in u.s. made weapons. >> the stakes could not be higher. >> reporter: on monday, u.s. ambassador to the u.n. nikki haley urged diplomacy but warned u.s. patience with kim jong-un
7:13 am
>> he is begging for war. war is never something the united states wants. we don't want it now. but our country's patience is not unlimited. >> reporter: a u.s. intelligence official tells cbs news that north korea's underground blast sunday was a test of an advanced nuclear device, but the u.s. government has not said whether it was a hydrogen bomb as north korea claims. it also has not verified where the miniaturized war head in these pictures is the real thing or a model. daniel pinkston is an expert on the north korea weapons program. he doesn't think they would launch an unprovoked attack because that would ensure its destruction. >> waking up and deciding i'm going to fire off a hydrogen bomb at the u.s. just for kicks why would you waste your time? >> reporter: north korea's ambassador to the united nation's just described his
7:14 am
as gift packages to the united states. he promised there will be more if the u.s. keeps provoking north korea. >> ben tracy in seoul. thanks. vice chairman of the joint chiefs of staff from 2011 to 2015, also led the military command responsible for preventing air attacks on north america. and our new cbs military and homeland security analyst. he joins us from denver. good morning. >> good morning and welcome back, charlie. >> thank you so much. we're pleased to have you as part of our team. let me begin with whether you think north korea is begging for war. >> no, i don't think they're actually begging for more. that was a rhetorical device used by the ambassador to the united nations. what he's really looking for is a deterrent that will allow him to protect his regime. the last thing he wants is a war right now. >> can we allow that to
7:15 am
to have that kind of new clear deterrence to protect his regime? >> that cat is out of the bag. the goal right now should be to prevent use of a nuclear weapon. i think kim jong-un in the last week or so has taken a couple of steps further down the road to demonstrate that he is working diligently to have that effective new clear deterrent. >> a lot of experts have been surprised at the weapons capability that north korea has. are we keeping up and how concerned should americans be today? >> well, first of all, this is not all that much of a surprise. the timing was sort of looking through a glass darkly. we didn't know exactly when some of these things were going to occur, but we did know they were going to happen and now they have. i don't think that americans should be panicking over this at all. we have a very good nuclear deterrent. even though kim jong-un will probably never give up his nuclear weapons he will not use them as long as his regime
7:16 am
so take a deep breath and let's let this play its course. >> how can you be sure that he will never use them? >> he's been acting fairly rationally. and it would be as jim mattis pointed out over the weekend it would be suicide if he were to use a nuclear weapon because he would face a strong response. >> but as many have pointed out sometimes these wars happen by mistake. they just get stumbled into. agreeing that there are times when he seems to act rational. admiral, a lot of folks think that china is the key to all this. what approach should the trump administration be taking right now? >> china clearly is a very important player in this crisis. they have a lot of control over the -- whether economic sanctions will actually work against north korea. i think it's very important that we have good quiet diplomacy with china right now. they have a party congress coming up in mid october. the worst thing we could do is put them on the spot
7:17 am
firm with them privately and get them to back sanctions not only publicly in the u.n. security council but to put the teeth in them on their border. >> thanks again, admiral. >> welcome to the team. harvey is now blamed for at least 63 deaths, more than 50,000 storm victims are staying in government funded hotel rooms. more than half a million families requested disaster assistance already and some homes may be underwater for up to a month. michelle miller is in one neighborhood where people are trying to cope with all the destruction there. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. tens of thousands of houstonians have done this. pulled out an entire lifetime of belongings and put it on their front lawns. public health officials are now concerned with the psychological distress that goes along with losing so mu
7:18 am
piles of debris in yards across houston are filled with furniture, insulation and carpeting. but look closer and you'll also find more intimate items. >> if the 8-year-old, that caterpillar tractor is their favorite toy, how emotionally challenging is that when you're having that kind of a conversation with your child? >> reporter: umair shah is the director of harris county public health. he's checking on houstonians having difficulty. >> we're encouraging everybody using as much protection as possible. >> reporter: while shah's biggest concerns are illnesses that can collect in the water and the air, he's also worried about people's mental health. her home flooded and she moved into a hotel. she said the sound of water running through her room's air conditioner terrifies her. >> i was crying and i start
7:19 am
to see if there's water in the street. >> reporter: she's looking to those next door for comfort. >> that's neighbors looking out for neighbors. that's what we do. >> reporter: shah says that connection with the community is critical to overcoming harvey's devastation. >> reporter: how big of an issue will mental illness be? >> it's going to be devastating. there is so much we don't know how this has impacted people and that's always my concern is the silent part of this is what people don't recognize. >> reporter: dr. shah believes that many of the people we spoke with are suffering with some sort of post traumatic stress. the cdc did a survey after katrina and found that 25% of households had someone in it suffering from mental or needing some sort of mental counseling. jeff, fewer than 2% actually got help. >> michelle, thank you very much. flames shoot out of an engine on this plane headed to new york. ahead, what caused this

kung and jeff glor. hurricane irma is a category 5 storm that could reach the u.s. by the weekend. >> winds up to 175 miles per hour. irma is expected to hit the leeward islands overnight and head for the virgin islands and puerto rico. governor rick scott has declared a state of emergency throughout florida. we're in miami with the latest. >> reporter: good morning. irma is still hundreds of miles away from the continental u.s. and forecasters cannot say with certainty where it may make landfall but officials here in florida are not taking any chances and people aren't either. they are already stocking up on food and supplies to protect their homes. yesterday hurricane hunters flew into the heart of the storm and data from the trip indicated irma would continue to strengthen and it has. now a c
8:03 am
storm surge is one of irma's biggest potential threats. florida has more homes vulnerable to storm sunch thrge any other state and the total reconstruction cost from a category 4 or 5 hurricane would top $400 billion in the worst case scenario. now, as you know, miami is flood prone. in fact, just a few weeks ago the neighborhood we're in flooded just after a heavy rainstorm. so the big concern is what a hurricane would do. >> understandably, thank you very much. jeff sessions this morning will hold a briefing to discuss undocumented immigrants in the united states. cbs news has confirmed president trump will end the obama era deferred action for childhood arrivals program known as daca. it protects nearly 800,000 immigrants who illegally arrived in this country from deportation. the president will leave the

8:05 am
and do it. it's a place that can screw up a sure thing easily and with six months they may have now been compelled to do it. >> i think you hear the word d.r.e.a.m.ers and you think of young people, this could affect the work force and this economy. >> reporter: 800,000 people across the country, they're not all college and high school kids. they work for fortune 500 companies. they teach in schools, they are our colleagues in journalism. i've heard from at least one who said i may have to leave the country if this doesn't get sorted out. >> can the president do this in three months? because after 2018 all eyes become political having to do with the re-election campaign of all those members of congress and some members of the senate. >> i think anything that doesn't really get done by christmas is going to have a harder time with the exception of daca because there is that six month -- >> he's giving it to congress. >> he's kicking it back to
8:06 am
because remember president obama had to do daca because congress wasn't acting on immigration reform and he felt there was an immediate need and a fix. so trump is saying to them here, take it back and finally sort this out for everyone. >> has he done himself good by beating up on mitch mcconnell? >> not necessarily if you want to get things done easily. you need mitch mcconnell, poaul ry ryan and working with you and all these things about disagreements about how the health care debate went and he's having his first face to face with mcconnell and ryan tomorrow to talk about tax reform and his first face to face meeting with democratic leaders since late january. he has not looked chuck schumer or nancy pelosi in the eye. >> what do you think? better late than never, right? >> this is the time of year when republicans need democrats to get in
8:07 am
so he's got to get them on board. >> so the president just tweeted directing a message to congress, congress, get ready to do your job, daca. pretty simple tweet. these threats to congress saying do your job haven't worked so far. >> no, but i think on this one there is -- there is a human element to it and i think this is one where they -- both parties understand they've got to do something to help these people. >> you think this president is serious about shutting the government down? >> not at this point. he was and then harvey happened. they understand that the white house -- that the holdup government funding and the entire federal government over his pledge to build a border wall with harvey, with the situation, but that said look for december. it looks like they'll pass a three month measure to keep things operating at normal. >> this is always a stay

richard anderson joins us once again at the table. good morning to you. last time you were here as president of delta. now they've brought you out of retirement for the trains. >> yeah, i'm very fortunate. >> and you're not getting paid to do this. you came out why? >> to serve. because amtrak is an iconic brand in america and it provides an essential service to many communities and of course in the northeast corridor it's critical to people getting to work every day. >> will we ever have the quality of trains that they have in swra pan and other places in the world like parts of europe? >> we're challenged in that regard because by and large our passenger trains run on the freight rail networks and in countries like japan and france they have dedicated high speed much straighter tracks that are built for a very different passenger experience.
8:16 am
the public policy decision in our country except for the sella in the northeast quarter to make those investments. >> here they go 150 miles an hour. do you see that changing? >> not in the near term, not unless we make the infrastructure investments to support high speed rail and as you think about how the demographic of our country is changing from what it was 100 years ago to people moving to urban areas and very concentrated urban corridors, number one and number two, the growth of ride sharing where people don't own cars and they use ride sharing, more and more mass transit and commuter trains should play a more important role in how we live in urban areas. >> what do you consider your imperative? >> first is to get the infrastructure fixed and the work we did at penn station doows amtrak can do a great job
8:17 am
northeast corridor. second we've got to clean up our trains, run our trains on time, fix the interiors of our trains, and grow our services in the regions that provide the highest levels of service to the communities around the country. >> what kind of window are you looking at? how huge is that? you took delta from a small southern carrier to what many feel is the biggest u.s. airline. amtrak is in a lot of trouble. penn station has been in a lot of trouble. how long does that take? if you think you can turn it around how long does it take to do that? >> it's a multiyear effort and part of the planning process with our board is to lay out what those plans are, a long-term fleet plan, a long-term engineering plan and of course the gateway project here in new york. >> ten years? 20 years? >> well, it took ten years at delta so it will be a
8:18 am
project. let me put it that way. >> making the switch from planes to trains, was it a learning curve for you? you had no rail experience. did you look in the mirror and say i can do this or were you a little concerned? >> well, you're always concerned when you don't know the subject matter so it's a lot of homework. >> how do you move people from one place to another. >> it's capital intensive. it's a network business. safety and customer service is important. on the other hand it's very different technology but i'm fortunate, i have a co-ceo who also came out of retirement on a volunteer basis. >> how did they convince you guys to do it? >> well, i wanted to serve in some capacity. >> so tell me about this. the terms of the future, is there technology happening that might be dramatically change the way transportation works in america? >> well, if you think about the thchnology -- well, i mean, the

just get our train speeds up and operate more nonstop service in very densely populated urban corridors, it would be a great service to the traveling public in america. think about what they've done and we're in the verge of pu putting a new asella system in place. right now we're under construction on replacing the fleet with 28 new asella train sets that are going to increase the pa it capacity about 40% and allow us to do half hourly service from washington, d.c. to new york and new york to boston on the hour. >> there was also talk they were going to make the space between the seats shorter. could you please make sure they don't do that? >> we're not going to make the space between the seats shorter. that was an idea -- >> you've heard that rumor. >> we talked about doing it because one of the questions we've had is making it more
8:20 am
affordable. the thing about much of what we do at amtrak, our average fare is about $80. and on the commuter rails, it's even less than $10 on average. but the bottom line is we want to make it affordable and usable for people and one of our great advantages is there's no middle seats. there's tons of leg room. our coach on amtrak is much, much better than first class on an airline. >> so you're not going to change the seat spacing. >> no. >> so do you privatize it? >> well, the question is, you can't really privatize it because there are pieces of it that have to be subsidized. i mean, you could privatize if you wanted the pieces that are profitable, but that wouldn't make a lot of sense. this is basic infrastructure. we subdi size -- i think the subsidy last year for highways was about 45 billion. the subsidy for aviation was 16 billion and when you think about what

8:34 am
their role as superior to the u.s. role. >> well, the u.s. as you say is there by choice and i think china wants to make the cost of the u.s. to be there go up and up. they don't want the u.s. to leave quickly, but over time, china napturally wants to dominate asia. and ultimately replace the u.s. but not in a way that we might see happening at the moment. >> which begs the question, is there anything the united states can do to stop that? >> well, i think over time the u.s. would have to share power. you know, if china's economy collapsed or something like that, if there was a terrible internal upheaval inside china that would change the equation. but over time there's not much the u.s. can do to maintain the role it's had for the past 70 years. >> one of the main factors here is the relationship between china and
8:35 am
which the trade thrives between the two countries economically speaking but politically it's been tense for years. how does the relationship between china and japan play into the future and how does it affect the u.s.? >> well, in the big picture, if you think about it, east asia's, you know, been -- had a fantastic economic growth in the last 70 years. it's been an economic success. it's been a political failure. the korean civil war has never been solved. china and japan have worse relations now than they've had for decades and if china and japan have conflict that itmatically means that the u.s. is in there as well because the u.s. is japan's treaty ally. it's sworn to defend it. so if they come to blows that's the entire global economy goes through these three countries. >> you call it the geo political version of reservoir dogs all pointing guns at each other and all
8:36 am
>> they've all in different ways threatened each other. >> and trade with each other. >> they're all interdependent in a valuable way in many respects but increasingly volatile fashion. >> speaking of an issue we've been talking about which is north korea and china's influence. are there circumstances in which china might say to north korea, you've got to stop this and we are part of the u.s. effort to get you to stop it? >> well, the problem is they've kind of been saying that for a long time and north korea's -- >> but not doing it. >> they haven't done it. the problem with china is china has an enormous economic leverage over north korea, which could come back against them. if north korea collapsed, if north korea fell into the arms of south korea, then china would have a u.s. ally on its border. and china's made the choice so far no matter how crazy north korea has got, you know, keeping themre
8:37 am
them, you know, as part of a u.s. ally. >> some people in the trump administration who believe that we ought to declare and these are nationalists, economic war against china because of the economic war they have declared against us in terms of what they do with respect to tech companies and other people to participate in the chinese economy. >> well, the u.s. should take on china on a number of fronts particularly on the issue of technology and technology transfer, but the idea of economic war is something altogether beyond that. and you know, if mr. -- you know, i think there's a lot to say for mr. trump putting china a little bit offbalance as he did at the start of the administration. if he's putting his own white house off balance he's putting the u.s. off balance atz the same time. he can't do much with china. with china you need a three, four decade long strategy to sort of push back against their
8:38 am
own economic nationalism and that's what the u.s. does not have at the moment. >> he appeared to cultivate a relationship in the beginning when le invited the president to visit him and then it seemed to have taken a turn. >> well, he's taken many turns on north korea. many turns on china. he said the chinese president was a terrific guy, but that's not quite the point really. >> so we've got this congress coming up. how crucial is it and what will it decide for china? >> this will see xi jing ping perhaps not another five years, ten years and it will -- i guess, you know, 'em bolden him further internationally, you know, once he's in complete charge of the bureau standing committee so it could see china settle down a little bit. >> the most controversial chinese

8:45 am
difference and serving his country to being jaded through the trauma like mitch went through as well and how each character deals with that trauma so differently. >> well, because you start out very motivated. there's a reason why you got involved in this. >> yeah, that was -- and my favorite thing about the character, i mean i really am honored to play him. i feel like there's so much trauma there as taylor said and he kind of represents the path that mitch can go down in a way. i just always felt like it was really emotional, really compelling and that it was a really believable arc for a character. >> it was interesting too to see michael keeton. the scenes between you guys -- >> he's in the movie. >> a couple scenes. >> dylan has quite a sense of humor. i was talking about michael keeton and he was like what did he play? >>
8:46 am
>> up and coming actor, you know, we took him under our wing and see what happens. >> show him the ropes a little bit. >> what did you learn from him? >> nothing. >> yeah. >> actually became way worse. >> better question, what did you teach him? >> no, for me, it was a big reason to sign on. i have one like long scene with him that's a pretty rare memorable scene and you know, he's just a gamer, still has great energy, just improve, i think you become really motivated that day. >> you both doing all your own stunts? >> as much as the studio will allow us. but there is stuff that -- >> there's a lot of stunt work -- this thing on the speedboat and it went on for a very long period of time. >> it's a big deal now the stunts. tom cruise was hurt on the set. there was a death on the scene of dead pool 2 so it's been a topic of discussion.
8:47 am
figuring out what you're going to do, how do you process that? >> you have to go about it in a meticulous way. it's easy on set to kind of get lost in that kind of world of make believe in a way and you have to remember that things are still real and you know, you've just got to -- everybody has to do their part and everybody has to vet everything when you're trying to do something that is dangerous and not forget that you know, it can be dangerous and people can get hurt. >> have you been hurt? >> have i been hurt? >> yeah. >> yes, i have. yeah. did you know that information or did you not? >> so you're prompting me. oh. yeah, yeah, no, i -- i had a pretty bad on set accident myself so you know, i've seen how it can go wrong and yeah, just going forward i just think it's still -- it can't be happening anymore, you know? >> and it's also very timely. all the intrigue about how the government works i also thought was interesting,
8:48 am
put your water down. >> no, i thought you were going to have a long -- i just -- it's not going anywhere. this -- this terrorism and everything that's going on, these events and so i think that's really a big part of this movie, but more importantly, what we wanted to deal with was just to ground it and not overdramatize it and understand that this is way more personal to begin with between these three guys and that was a huge part even talking script and these guys, their relationship together or lack there of. >> and mitch's widow came to the set as well. >> yeah, it's an honor for all of us to finally be able to bring this to life and i think it just warms her heart and she's so support supportive abo. >> i smell a sequel. just saying.
