west/northwest of the cat 5. but somewhere around cuba and this is the question mark. somewhere around cuba it starts this turn to the north anywhere, anywhere within this cone is the possibility for a landfall. that's when the national hurricane weather. i el shoal you the one model so you can see how they handle it. i know a lot of you appreciate this mod. take a look at this. take a look at the landfall right south of miami. that's a very, very bad situation. it travels right up along the eastern seaboard. we'll watch all this again. the curve to the north, with don't know when. let's go over to you. >> lonnie, thanks so much. florida governor rick scott joins us now. good morning. >> good morning. this is a massive storm. i made sure everybody has fuel. i

unlimited i8 legal immigration. >> boy, that's a tough thing to say about your church. >> as much as i respect cardinal dolan and the bishops on doctrine, this is not doctrine at all. i tote aally respect the pope and the catholic bishops and cardinals on doctrine. this is not about doctrine. this is about the sovereignty of the nation. in that regard it's another guy with an opinion. >> we want you to know we reached out to the archdiocese of new york this morning. we're waiting to hear what they say. >> it's interesting that he says that about the catholic church. >> it's interesting. we've not heard him speak before. he's not one to mince words. >> there's a lot more how he wants go against republican leadership in the congress and we'll share how he views himself and his plan to defend president trump outside the white house in the next hour -- hal

bipartisanship. white house aides argue the president wanted to build some positive momentum that he feels he's gained in the aftermath of harvey and his management of the crisis and turned that into his push for tax reform. gayling despite that tense meeting house speaker paul ryan is slated to have dinner with the president tonight and i know you'd like to be a fly on that wall. >> we'd all like to be a couple of flies on that wall. thank you very much. words you never thought you'd hear the president say, we had a great meeting with chuck schumer and nancy pelosi. more to come. this morning amazon unveils an ambitious new multi-billion-dollar plan. how they plan to create up to

good morning. it's thursday, september 7th, 2017. welcome back to "cbs this morning." hurricane irma with 185-mile-an-hour winds leaves a catastrophe behind. a look ahead. and rare interview with paul simon and his wife edy bra kel. the personal connection that led them to give $1 million to help hurricane harvey victims. but first here's today's "eye opener" at 8:00. >> hurricane irma isar breling toward florida after destroying lives and homes in the northern caribbe caribbean. >> ss weurvey the da,mage we're seeing a lot of this. we've got power lines draped

>> folks say theyn pla on riding out the storm right here. but officials are telling us if you do decide to ayst, you're on your own. >> we still have a cat 5, still 185-mile-per-hour s.wind >>nk thi people need to untadersnd you've about got to listen to your local officials. the storm surge can kill you. >> the president here decided to buck his own party. gayle, despite that tense meeting, speaker paul ryan is still slated to havein dner with the president tonight and know you'd like to be a fly on that wall. >> we'd all like to be a couple of flies on the wall. >> this is interesting. dennis rodman who weirdly might be the only person in the world who knows both kim jong-un and president trump. he was asked what they do. >> we do karaoke, do a lot of cool things together, ride horses, hang out, go skiing. >> i would love

karaoke song is. i hope it's gloria is stevan. i hope it's "this rhythm is going to get you." >> hurricane irma is burning closer to florida this morning after devastating some caribbean islands. the storm so far has killed at least ten people. some areas will need months or years to rebuild. >> the most powerful hurricane that ever opened in atlantic is packing sustained winds of 180 miles per hour. florida governor rick scott says irma is bigger, faster, and stronger. sounds like a kanye west song. hurricane andrew set records for the damage it caused back in 19912. irma is passing the dominican republican right now and will hit the bahamas before turning north toward florida. tony dokoupil is on the hard-hit east coast of puerto rico. tony, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. the northern side of puerto rico is waking up to considerable destruction this morning. giant trees are on bin

in this case across the road. and if puerto ricans take a new route to get out, that side is blocked as well. ten trees down on this road alone. the center of irma narrowly missed puerto rico, but with a storm this powerful, it still left behind a trail of destruction. irma knocked out power to at least 9,000 people and left tens of thousands without drinking water. 185-mile-per-hour wind, heavy rains and storm surge caused massive destruction. the french interior minister says the country's territorial islands will need to be rebuilt. the dutch prime minister said their half of st. martin is not reachable due to the damage. nearly every building on the island of barbuda was damaged and about 0% of the population has been left homeless and the images out of puerto rico are giving official in the continental united states concern about the potential damage it will bring this.

pictures. thank you. chief weathercaster lonnie quinn of our affiliate station wcbs, good morning. >> we're confident irma is going to continue to the west-northwest. we're also confident this front you see right here is deflected to the north. we're not confident how much. that's key. if you zoom in tight on this storm, it is so much about where the eye of the storm goes. you see this little bright yellow color in there. those are the peak winds. they only extend 15 miles, 1-5, 15 miles from the eye. that's where you find the 158-mile-an-hour winds. if you take a look at the track of the storm, the national hurricane center says here it comes, yep, it's making that term to the north. anywhere in this area is a possibility. if the european model is right and the

worst, they see the landfall with the eye right on shore. that puts what would be 140-mile-per-hour 1-800-s right on shore. if they're off by 20 miles it keeps the big winds offshore. if they're 50 miles off, it keep all of the storm offshore. a lot of speculation here. we keep an eye on this one closely. charlie? >> thanks, lonnie j many trying to escape irma's path are having a hard time finding a way out. american airlines says it will stop flying to four airports in south florida by friday afternoon. with all the turmoil, some flyers are complaining the airlines are gouging them. kris van cleave is at the philadelphia airport, one of the many destinations affected by the disruptions. kris, good morning. >> goo

for people looking to fly out they're finding limited options and high prices. the airlines are responding to that but so are local and national regulators saying they're going to investigate reports of price gouging. >> it's a high price for some to is skate hurricane irma and people are expressing outrage over ticket prices on social media. on twitter this woman said a flight from miami to phoenix jumped from over $500 to more than 3,200 bucks when she tried to book on a travel website. she later tweeted delta quoted her a reasonable fair. another flight showed $1,000 from florida to new york. on wednesday the backlash prompted some airlines to cap the remaining seats. a flight on american airlines won't cost more than $99. jetblue capped it at $99

with a connection and delta, $399, that if you find an open seat. these people were some of the last. >> i'm sad because i've been trying to get to key west for years but i'd rather be alive. i'm upset about it. >> reporter: while prices increased as passengers rushed to book flights airlines say they did not change their air structure. they say the cost of a seat increases as flights fill up and last-minute tickets cost more. >> that's where you get these f $00, $700, $800 fares. pam bondi says she's making sure the problem gets fixed. >> i do not regulate these airlines but i'm going to protect the floridians. i have the white house on standby if they're not doing their job, but they're doing it. >> bondi says her office in

in the last two days to everything from food to flights and she's working with amazon to try to combat unnecessary delivery charges with irma is in their flight path. >> you get hit with that and then you get price gouged. not nice. the president and first lady reveal the charities that they will share their million donation for harvey relief. the biggest ones go to red cross and the salvation army. each will receive $300,000. the outpours for harvey victims is also coming from corporationsing athletes, and artists all around the country. thoechbt mason shows us a gift from a very high-profile musical cup. anthony mason is at the table. >> good morning, good morning. paul simon and edy

have been married since 1992 usually keep their donations private but they went public with this one because harvey was personal. >> what made you talk about this gift? >> edy brocail and paul simon wanted to reach down deep. >> we decided we would also give a million dollars. >> reporter: the couple both grammy-award singing songwriters will give when they join willy nelson in bayne fit concert in austin on september 22nd. >> when you saw this happening to your home state, what were you thinking? >> sad, just really sad. >> reporter: this video was sent to bra kale by brad houser, her bass player in the band the bohemians. >> i feel sad when it's your home state.

i feel a great responsibility to come in and do what i can. >> reporter: other artists have pledged a million dollars including leonardo decap preial and sandra bullock. >> i was moved by it and inspired by it. >> why? >> my mom and i, we like his mooeshs a lot. that was the first one i heard about. it opened my heart more. i said i 50ed love to do that too. if we can offer that same inspiration to give, then that would be great. >> paul simon has seen disasters before. he co-founded the children's health fund which sent mobile medical units in after hurricane katrina in 2005. >> it was kind of a rare moment where the whole country was a community. everybody focused on how to help. if we could bottle that, it's a more efficie

problem-solving. >> you made a point of saying you wanted to help some of the smaller towns around houston. >> people who feel forgotten in small towns out in the country and they lose eing. >> so brocail and simon will target their donations to medical and medical needs. >> we're not goinging one bill umbrella but a lot of little umbrellas all over. >> as generous as their million-dollar gift is it's going to take a lot more. the governor greg abbott says it's going cost more than 1$180 billion. >> i love that they like tyler perry. that was a nice little nugget. >> wasn't it nice that she said it opened her heart. >> that that's what touched her. i think that happens a hot. >> thank you, anthony. >> nice to be here. >> a pleasure to have you at the table. so busin

new research offers clues about premature birth which is defined before 37 weeks. a study from the "new england journal of medicine" identified for the first time key genes linked to those born full term. one in ten is born prematurely. and it's the leading cause of death for children under the age of 5. our dr. agus is here with this discovery and how it could help babies all around. he's here at the table. it's lake you're a

>> i'm a real boy. >> that's from "pinocchio." i know you know that. this is big news. >> enormous. 10% of babies born in the united states born are preterm. preterm babies, there's a risk of death. for now we can identify who's going to be preterm, we can tell you, listen, you can't give birth at home or you can't give birth in a community hospital. you have to go to a hospital with an icu. now we know about the genes. multivie mitts, prenatal vitamins don't have selenium in them. >> how are you able to identify the genes? that's a having big story. >> women said take my genetic information. they said, take my information and learn from it. i want to be part of the solution, not to problem. so they stepped up, over 50,000 women, and looked

and they correlated it to when the child was born and six genes associated with preterm birth are out there. >> when i saw this story i immediately clicked on it. i'm interested too. is gene therapy essentially the future of medicine? >> i think targeting the genes in this case rather than correcting them, yes. right now all of a sudden we have the rosetta stone to all of us. inside of one size fits all, we're going to know in advance what's going to happen. so knowledge is key. >> but, in fact, gene therapy is a significant part of it, is it not? >> no question. vierts hard to do gene therapy and change all the genes in the body. it's easier to change one particular cell type. so in order to change the whole body, it's going to be difficult. but in this case knowing one is a uterine protein, for example, that we may be able to alter to

this morning "time" magazine is launching "first." it includes exclusive interviews and 12 magazine covers. each profiles a woman who first broke the glass creeling in her field. some of the women shared what breaking that barrier meant to them. >> the glass ceiling, that vocabulary is violent, right? it denotes pressure, it denotes struggle. >> not one thing ever does it. it's a series of consistent things. >> conflict is a sign of possibility. many people see it as something to be avoided. but we can't grow, we can't change without conflict. >> time editor and manager nancy gibbs and kara puck join us at the table. good morning. this is different than the time 100. why did you want to

>> this is not a ranking. this is not a power list. we just wanted to tell stories and we wanted to tell stories that actually were as different as possible from each other. it's old notion if you can't see it, you can't be it. we felt like we were having these conversations about why women are not breaking through to the c suite or the top level whether it's women in holiday or in tech or in politics. i thought, let's go out to a bunch of women who have actually broken through and hear their stories, what motivated them, held them back, life-changing, game-changing. >> is there a common denominator? >> that's what's great. there isn't. there is no one way of thinking about or approaching this. we wanted as much variety as possible. >> you did that, nancy. the number 46 is so random. you ee about got the fun, the power, the unexpected. selena gomez, the f

photographer and subject. >> are we all fascinated by the list, nancy? whether it's david letterman's top ten list or the fortune 500 list? there's something about it? >> it's a way to organize our thinking. it's a way to look for patterns and prophesies and understanding, i think. it's a way of very arbitrary subjective exercise but i also think there's a value to it. in our case our goal was for there to be someone that everyone can see and think i could be that. if not that, then that, then that. 46, it could be 146, it could be 10,000. >> all of this, of course, on "time." you have a hashtag that you hope could be viral. >> the hashtag i is #sheisthefirst. people have summited great stories of my mother was the first woman in our family to go to college. you know, firsts

>> sonequa martin-green is the first blackwoman to play a lead in the series. that's a big deal. she joins us at the table. welcome. >> thank you for having me. >> we'll talk about that in just a second. but first it was so frustrating because they would not release any of this video. that i would not let us have an episode. the only thing we could see was a trailer. why all the secrecy. you don't have to worry about it leaking out. nobody got to see it. >> i know. i know. i think -- i think there's a lot of things at play there. i think it's because of how big it is, because of everything that's been put into it. i think they're just very protective of it and they want to protect everyone's experience and journey of it. >> let me just say based on that, it looks gehu. it doesn't look like a tv show. it looksik

>> thank you. >> it's beautifully shot. what can you tell me about that? >> i tell you what. i think the craftsmanship on this show is through the roof. i am floored by everyone's artistry, i really am. in front of the camera, behind the camera, the crew, the cast, the producing team, the writers, i just -- i feel that everyone is at their highest potential honestly. >> i love the idea that "star trek: discovery" is a prequel. you are spock's adopted sister? how is that? please? can you do the sign? are you legit? higher, higherlet legit. >> i appreciate how courageous this story is and i appreciate how they have woven me into that family because spock is an institution. s

>> i do not. i was adopted. i'm 100% human. my parents were killed when i was young. it was at an out post. they were commissioned to me. i became their surrogate daughter. >> do you have volcan qualities? >> definitely. there's been a serious vulcan indoctrination for sure. i was forced into the assembly. >> okay. >> did you say on a recent panel did you say somehow looking at star trek discovery can give you an entree of solutions for today's problems? >> i think so. that seems like a lofty think to say but i think it can be profound. obviously stories can be so healing. art is so healing. and i think that when you have a story that show as picture of a utopian future, i think -- especially -- it's been this way the entire time. this is the legacy of "star trek." i think when you can tap into

that, key into that, i think that having a vision of it can help you actuallyize it. i do. >> when it was first announced it was going to be a woman of color, you had some haters. that couldn't be pleasant. was that painful for you? >> it was. it was hurtful. i'm a black woman that was raised in the south, so it did not surprise me because i am used to -- i'm used to that unfortunately. but it ice a double-sided coin, right, because on one end i wasn't surprised. on the other end i sort of was because diversity and universality, you know, they're pillars of star trek. that is the legacy of it. >> speaking of that legacy, didn't realize this until going pack over the research in 1968 nischelle nickels and

shatner made interracial history. >> i know. the first television kiss on television. >> star trek has also gone boldly. it always has. that's been the essence of it. >> no man has gone before. >> does "discovery" continue that? >> yes. >> how do they do that? >> we're upholds the legacy but again taking the next step forward because here i am, the first african-american lead, the an asian captain. a woman. >> the guy with the creepy eyes. >> the cal pea yen. that's a new intro dukz. >> a kelpian. people like creepy. >> the design is open for sure. we've gone the first openly gay officer on n the star fleet on the show. we're doing it, conin
