as emma thompson said, harvey weinstein, is this the tip of the iceberg? the next video is from 2013. corey feldman, an actor, during an interview -- he was on "the view," talking about the abuse he suffered growing up as aur child actor in hollywood. why didn't people pay attention? >> there are people, the people that did this to both me and corey that are still working, they are still out there andth some of the richest and most powerful people in this business. they don't want me saying what i'm saying right now. >> are you saying they are? >> yes. >> in this business? >> don't go into it thinking it's all roses. >> you are talking about an entire industry. >> sean: it should be brought to life. these are young kids. young adults. when it comes to the harvey weinstein scandal, we should be -- remember, hollywood is obsessed -- the absolute obsession with roman polanski. the guy charged with raping a 13-year-old girl in the '70s when he was 43 years old and he gave her champagne and quaaludes and raped this poor girl. in total, four separate instances o

you heard emma thompson talking there.that interview just after eight a. m.. thousands of firefighters have been called out to deal with fires in an area more than 20,000 acres. winds have dropped, but they are expected to be public game of the weekend. the state's governorjerry browne said the coming days would be critical. a correspondent with cbs sent this report. they do have some containment. there are 22 fires in this area of northern california and the biggest fires are contained, meaning they've stopped the progress. but that's only i% of the fires. 99% they haven't stopped. but that's a step in the right direction. they were feeling they weren't making any progress at all and this is the fourth day. the reason is all of the vicious winds, especially monday, wednesday and a little bit today. today hasn't been nearly as bad as they expected, just a light breeze. 3500, 3500 homes, and buildings were burnt down and we are getting a different perspective here. the fire trucks are here and some homeowners, going through

we'll share more of what actress emma thompson is now saying about her encounters with the embattled hollywood producer. >>> plus, pipeline problem. the new concerns over sunoco's pipeline project here in our area. >>> all new at 5:00 a.m. another major data breach. this time targeting a popular hotel chain. what could be at risk if you recently checked in to a hyatt. >>> good morning. we'll start things off on an accident that we're watching out in cinnaminson township. the southbound lanes of route 130 at riverton avenue. we know that all lanes are closed again going southbound because of an accident. there's a downed pole as well as downed wires. you see how that's backing up and slowing things in the area. i'll keep my eye on that. looking at 476 and 76, everything is good. watching construction projects. roadwork projects clearing on the schuylkill expressway. that shouldn't be a problem for you this morning. i do want to get to a bridge replacement that's taking place. this is the northeast extension. it goes into effect at 9:00 tonight. it's going to impact drivers. if you're

"deadlock." this should have been the week things moved on to trade but as you heard, the stumbling blocks that still exist made it impossible. big questions surround eu citizens rights and that brexit bill. but if at this stage you admitted you'd slightly lost the plot with the brexit negotiations, you wouldn't be alone. tonight we try and find clarify labour's position. earlier i spoke to their brexit secretary, sir keir starmer. today marks a serious failure to meet a very important deadline. we are seven months into the article 50 process, as a result of today's decision it's now highly likely that we are going lose another two months on the first stage of the negotiations. that is really serious.

turned in one thousand nine hundred three into a very memorable film starring anthony hopkins and emma thompson is about a very repressed but who remembers his time in the war second world war and post-war period working as a butler for a north who turns out to be a nazi and it turns out that the housekeeper who he so admired actually loved him he could have had intimacy with him this speaking in the first person they named in the novel the but tells the story the oppression is all there with the reader see it. comes from a japanese background his parents moved to england when he was five and many critics say there is something about very definite is about his novels even the ones that are about english people let's hear him talk about japan are always said throughout my career that. i've grown up in this country and i'm educated in this country a large part of my way of looking at the world more artistic approach is japanese because i was brought up by my japanese parents speaking in japanese inside the japanese home and so. i think i've always looked at the world partly through my parents' ey

. >> reporter: academy award-winning actress emma thompson sounded off on the harvey weinstein sexual assault allegations and hollywood culture. >> i spent my 20s trying to get old men's tongues out of my mouth, you know, because they just thought, "she's up for it." >> reporter: thompson says weinstein never assaulted her but believes harassment of women in the industry is an epidemic. >> do they have to all be as bad as him? to-- to-- to make it count? you know, does it only count if you really have done it to loads and loads and loads of women or does it count if you do it to one woman, once? i think the latter. >> reporter: the fallout continued today with more actresses coming forward. kate beckinsale revealed on instagram what she says happened to her at age 17 when she met weinstein at a hotel. beckinsale goes on to say: one of the most outspoken voices since the allegations broke is actress rose mcgowan. she started a petition against the weinstein company. late this afternoon, she tweeted at amazon c.e.o. jeff bezos: amazon did not respond to cbs' request for a comment. mcgow

movies his book actually does something that even the great production with anthony hopkins and emma thompson just couldn't touch even though that's the best acting you could have they couldn't do what he does with style with a voice it's an english butler who's very reserved it's a formal very careful voice he has a sense of dignity in his role as butler in the service to lord darlington but in the end it turns out that the lord wasn't so worth serving and he's missed out on love he missed out on everything in his personal life he made all these sacrifices and at the very end of the book his heart is breaking but what's amazing is that the style is breaking also this voice which we've been immersed in for days reading that book and which has been so formal so beautiful so elegant and reserved is breaking apart the sentences are falling apart as his heart is breaking it's a stylistic trick and and a kind of you know tour de force right in that the film couldn't capture even though had the best actors possible so i think writers ever will be so happy about this because he's just one of our bes

emma thompson put it rather well on last night's programme. this is a gender dysfunction. the other thing is, it's a public health issue. this is not about one man, one man's crimes against women, this is about our system's imbalances, our system's gender crisis, and we have to act on this, we have to turn this on its head. we can't allow this to continue, because what it means is, naturally vulnerable people are going to continue to be preyed upon, whether harvey weinstein goes to jail or not. interestingly, it seems that even if every individual on the planet knows about it, it's only when there is a public conversation that change is possible. this year, the public conversation has been louder. taylor swift called out the unacceptable behaviour of a dj on a promotional photo shoot. she gained dignity rather than losing it in taking the case to court. the women who have talked about weinstein have gained respect, too. today, from hillary clinton, in her comments on the latest revelations. and i really commend the women who have been willing to step forward now and tell t
