Reporter as you said, Qassem Soleimani is due to be buried today, and the official mourning period is over. Everybody is focusing on what comes next and certainly any possible reprisal attacks. I sat down with irans foreign minister who was denied a visa by the United States to travel to new york this week. Hed wanted to attend meetings at the United Nations. Can you confirm that you were denied a visa to travel to speak at the United Nations this week . Thats what we are told by the secretary general, that secrary pompeo called and said they didnt have enough time to review my request. Thats not unexpected. But my question is, what are they afraid of . Soleimanis funeral in his home city in the south of iran, there was another frenzied outpouring of grief and anger. There were also more public calls for reprisals against the United States. Dran has powerful allies proxs inhe rion o could s. Tased to carry out revenge ckt out. When i ask about reports that the Supreme Leader has ordered that any revenge attacks should be proportional and carried out by iranian forces. We are a lawabiding nation. When we take action, it wont be disproportionate unlike what President Trump has said. There has been the killing of an irani several iranian citizens and several top ranking, highranking military officers. That is what we will do, and we will do it not in a cowardly way but in a proportionate way. Reporter when . As we choose. What else did you learn from speaking with zarif this morning . Reporter he insisted that any attacks would be on legitimate targets. I pressed him. I said, what do you mean by that . He told me to consult the law of war, the geneva convention. Legitimate targets are defined as military targets specifically or infrastructure that helps the military. I think thats just about all the answer were going to get at this stage. It does narrow it to somewhat. Elizabeth palmer in tehran. Thank you so much. In washington today, the Trump Administration plans to rr the military operation that killed general soleimani. Defense secretary mark esper and secretary of state mike pompeo will defend President Trumps decision to target irans most influential military leader. The response to an attack that killed a u. S. Contractor in iraq. The president insists americans are now safer, while democrats neisar ay. T cee whithouse. Ck was where do things stand now . Reporter well, President Trump has promised to answer any retaliation from iran with even more force. Meanwhile, the democrats want to know what exactly was the imminent threat that led President Trump to launch the strike on the iranian general and want to know what the war. The American People need clarity that the Trump Administration has a plan. Reporter President Trump did not notify congress of his decision to kill soleimani until the day after the strike. Democrats are planning to force a vote on a new war powers resolution to restrain President Trumps ability to launch further military action against iran unless congress approves. Republican Senate Majority leader Mitch Mcconnell says democrats are more interested in blaming President Trump than focusing on National Security. Can we not maintain a shred, . Reporter republican senator rand paul said the killing of soleimani is the death of diplomacy with iran. You would have to be brain dead to believe that we tear up the agreement, we put an embargo on you, and we kill your major generaand theyre ing to crawl back to the table. Reporter President Trump defended himself saying the United States is a lot safer now. Well see what happens. Well see what the response is if any. Youve seen what i said our response will be. Reporter the president is threatening to strike 52 sites in iran, including cultural ones which would viw. Thresenior admi officials either publicly contradicted mr.

Radowik benu. Ank , yo with Vice President mike pence in his First Network tv interview since the killing of n ewyos u leimani. Rvofse pe uecae o teinw rico this hour. A strong earthquake struck overnight causing a blackout across the u. S. Territory. The magnitude 6. 4 earthquake hit just south of the island. Now it comes one day after a 5. 8magnitude quake damaged homes and caused landslides there. The mayor of the city of ponce told a local station at least one person was killed. David begnaud is joining us. Hes been monitoring the developing story. Theres no such thing as a good time for an earthquake. Theyve been dealing with this for the last week or so. I was looking on the usgs website, there was a 5. 8, 4. 5. They wont stop. Are stang outside over fears that their homes may collapse with future earthquakes. This is the largest in a series of earthquakes that have hit the island in ayntres. D we have video from inside of a Grocery Store that shows people scattering and taking off when the quake hit. Other pictures show homes and bu rungthat c some houses were ripped to their foundations. Other cars were crushed underneath homes that collapsed. We have a social media image posted by a local journalist that Shows Patients evacuated on stretchers outside of the damas hospital in ponce. Earthquake concerns have been the island sits on an active fault and has had 700 earthquakes since the end of december. Most go unnoticed. And get this after out to a seismologist with the usgs to find out what the chances were that there would be something stronger than a 5. 8. He put the odds at 3 . Pe mning the odds did not work out in their favor. We spoke to puerto ricos power authority, the ceo. I spoke to him on the phone. He said there was actually another earthquake happening as we were talking. He said theres minor damage to the two largest power plants on the island. There was an automatic shutdown of the power grid when this mornings major earthquake happened. So it was a protective measure that the power plant shut down. They hope to get it back in service by noon. Im actually getting off the set and getting on a plane to go. 700 earthquakes in a short amount of time. Yea thankou so back in washington, a stunning reversal from former National Security adviser john bolton. He says he is willing to give testimony at President Trumps Senate Impeachment trial if he is subpoenaed. Speaker nancy pelosi is still withholding the articles of impeachment from the senate as the house returns today. Nancy cordes is in washington for us. Good morning. So big reversal here. How are lawmakers responding . Reporter well, some Senate Republicans tell us that theyre interested in hearing what bolton has to say, while others believe thats a decision that should be made when the trial gets under way. Boltons testimony could be intriguing because he was the president s top Foreign Policy adviser. And we know from other witnesses that he was troubled by the efforts to pressure ukraine into investigating joe biden. Nation council official, for example, fiona hill, said that at one point bolton likened the efforts to a drug deal and told her and others to alert white house lawyers. Democrats think he might know more about the president s decision to withhold millions of dollars in military aid to ukraine. But Republican Senate leader Mitch Mcconnell says that all decisions about witnesses should take place after Opening Statements in the senate trial, just like they did during the clinton impeachment trial more than 20 years ago. The risk is if Senate Republicans decide to hear from john bolton, then its going to be harder to justify stopping there. Democrats want to hear from a host of witnesses that the white house blocked from testifying before the house impeachment inquiry. Yeah. This does shake things up. Thank you. Disgraced hollywood mogul Harvey Weinstein faces new criminal charges in los angeles as jury selection gets under way today for his trial in new york.

Reporter meanwhile, attorney Douglas Wigdor says his client, a weinstein accuser, will soon tell her story publicly for the first time. Her allegations are not part of the charges weinstein is facing in new york, but her testimony could help paint a picture of weinsteins alleged behavior. She will support the main two s mos endi. One alleges she was assaulted in his new york apartment. She was working as a waitress when weinstein expressed interest in her career. The me too movement has changed things. It is the right thing to hold Harvey Weinstein and people like Harvey Weinstein accountable. Reporter outside the courthouse, dozens of protesters including several weinstein accusers gathered to echo that sentiment. You thought you could terrorize me and others into silence. You were wrong. Reporter weinsteins defense team asked the judge to sequester the jury, but the judge denied that request. Enlles st ofwe ineinnonconsensual sex and not guilty to charges he faces in new york. Whether he is convicted in new york or los angeles, Harvey Weinstein could face the rest of his life behind bars. Thank you so much.

A little montel jordan. Good morning. Here are a few stories we think youll be talking about. The federal government is now forcing some migrants in custody to give dna samples. The controversial Pilot Program promoted by the Trump Administration kicked off yesterday. Border patrol agents have been instructed to collect dna through cheek swabs at two entry points on the u. S. Borders with canada and mexico. In some cases, that includes migrants as young as 14. The Program Targets asylum seekers, unauthorized entries, and even greencard holders. It will be used to create profiles in a massive criminal data base run by the fbi. The department of Homeland Security says those who refuse to submit dna could face a misdemeanor charge. Couple of things to point out here. Critics believe that the government should not obtain Sensitive Information from people if they are not linked to any crimes. Right. Theres some questions, concerns about consent because children may be forced to give their dna up. And they could also be referred to criminal prosecution if they refuse. Yeah. Wow. Seems like they have work to do on this program. Well keep track. Spacex kicked off the new year with a recordbreaking launch. Take a look at this. Liftoff happened last night. Cape canaveral, florida. The Company Launched its third batch of 60 mini starling satellites making it the largest fleet in orbit. The goal is to provide highspeed internet around the globe. Scientists warn too many satellites could threaten our view of the cosmos. Spacex says its working on that. One of the satellites has a special nonreflective coating to make it appear darker. Guys yeah, one of them theyll need at least 400 satellites in outer space, some weighing over 485 pounds. A lot of people saying, look, when you look up, all youre going to see is space junk. Theyve got their own constellation up there. Thats 180 satellites in orbit. Guys, its a big sky, theres a lot of room up there. This is important not just internet around the globe. Rural internet is a problem here. My mom has slow internet in west virginia. I mean, like, if you dont have satellites up there, you need towers or cables. People dont want to spacex is just one company. Theres going to be other companies under space force, President Trumps new agency, that are going to be launching more and more satellites. So space if youre in a place where you dont watch a video on your phone, youre clapping for this. Youre very happy. All right. Elon musk has big plans. He. Does he does. I say space, we cant have anything nice. Well see what happens. There is sort of trouble this is sort of troubling singer lizzo is coming clean about her decision to break from twitter. During an Instagram Live session, the truth hurts singer said, quote, ive gotten to a point where im not just dealing with internet bullies, im dealing with seeing a lot of negativity on the internet dealing with everyone. Lizzo was criticized in december for wearing a cutout tshirt dress at a lakers game that showed off her backside. The singer who, of course, was here last month at cbs this morning spoke to us about her body confidence. Ouong it took me to fall in love with there body and my butt was my least favorite thing about myself. And i learned to love it. That of the thing everybody cant stop talking about. Be you, do you. Dont ever let anybody steal your joy especially not the internet. You know, she also said sort of alluded to that. I think shes right. Dont let anybody steal your joy. It gets you to. She wrote, i would love to be on twitter because i can connect with you people who positively support me not to mention spreading my own positive messages, which is what shes done. Positivity. Theres so much toxicity and people who feel they have a right to say the nastiest stuff. I totally understand it when when people just say, you know, i dont want this anymore. You can say whatever you want with no accountability. And after a while, you just get tired of hearing all the negativity. I think shes right. Dont let anybody steal your joy. A shame it has to cost her because its great when youre able to connect with people who admire you. Right. Please come back, lizzo. Come back. Yeah. All right.

And impact on military families with soldiers now heading to the middle east. Harvey weinstein facing new sex charges in l. A. , we look at expectations in new york. Im anthony mason, country superstars rascal flatts will have big news for fans only on cbs this morning. Love them. First here is todays eyeopener, 8 00. A leader of irans revolutionary guard told the huge crowd that areas supported by the u. S. Would be set on fire. Soleimani is due to be buried today and everyone focusing on the possibility of reprisal attacks. Democrats want to know what was the imminent threat that caused trump to launch this strike on the general. They wont stop. This is the largest in a series of earthquake that hit the island. If Senate Republicans hear from john bolton, its going to be harder to justify stopping there. We do know there have been several women that accused Harvey Weinstein of Sexual Assault in los angeles. Firefighters have been battling the blazes here in southeastern australia for nearly five months. As more destruction is unveiled, it shows a nation in crisis. Some of the worlds new hightech gadgets will be shown off the next few days. Cbs expo under way in vegas. Segway with a an spod selfbalancing stroller for adults. Perfect for anyone who watched wally and thought yes, yes. Yes, that is the amount of dignity i deserve. This mornings eyeopener is presented by toyota, lets go places. Im going to pass on that. Any takers . No. Any takers. Im not ruling it out. Could be useful eventually. Im going to pass on that for now. Welcome back to cbs this morning. Irans parliament has officially labeled the u. S. Military terrorists for killing the countrys most powerful general. More iranian officials are promising revenge. General Qassem Soleimani was taken to his hometown to be buried this morning marking the end of a threeday mourning period. But that was postponed after a stampede killed at least 40 people there. Earlier the leader of irans revolutionary guard threatened to attack places supported by the u. S. Iran reportedly has come up with, listen to this, 13 scenarios for a retaliatory strike. In washington later today, the Trump Administration is briefing congressional leaders on fridays drone strike in baghdad that killed soleimani. The full house and senate expect a briefing tomorrow. Democrats want full details of the strike and the justification for it to be made public. There are questions this morning about why dozens of iranians and iranian americans were repordl detained at the u. S. Border in washington state. The council on American Islamic relations say more than 60 people, including children, were held over the weekend as they tried to cross from canada into blaine, washington. Some say they are questioned for hours at the peace arch Border Crossing and had their passports temporarily confiscated before being let go with no explanation. I just want to mention that this is very unfair to our community. If were not complaining, that doesnt mean were not suffering. In a Statement Customs and Border Protection said any claims people were detained and refused entry into the u. S. Because of their country of origin are false. We reached out to Homeland Security but have not heard back. The pentagon is sending more than 3,000 additional soldiers to the middle east to protect against any revenge attacks from iran. Chip r just s theirnds senre. A ft. North story. Chip, good morning to you. Can you tell us how military families are handling this situation . Well, i can tell you that when the president calls 911, the phone rings here at ft. Bragg. For the soldiers of the 82nd Airborne Division, that means they have to be ready to go in 18 hours or less. For the families, that means a lot of stress and also a lot of pride in what they do for this country. Just like this. Yes. Your life went from normal family life to chaos. Rachel and her husband Sergeant Alexander hurdle were vifrting family when he got the call to go to the middle east. The previous deployments were planned, so we had time to get ready. This one threw us for a loop. He was one of thousands servicemen and women of the 82nd Airborne Division that specializes in parachute assault operations and responding to emergency crisis situations anywhere in the world. Do you admire him for what he does . I do. I cannot imagine leaving my children, and i know that it breaks his heart. But this is what we decided as a family we would do, that we would be a military family. Its just sad, everything hes going to miss. Sad. Jills husband left for the middle east on sunday. Your heart is swelling with pride. Youre so proud of them but its shattering at the same time. Its the most unexplainable feeling. I cant really describe it. Were at home getting our support system together and being ready for him to be gone. Hurdle and her husband have one biological son who is eight and three foster children. My children have finally bonded with a man that wants to be their daddy. If he were not to come home, how would i tell that to them . This is what military families go through all the time. It is. But we often dont say it out loud. Soldiers of the 82nd Airborne Division have been told they ca tirell phones and th canno tel there they go if history is any guide, they could be gone for nine months or even more. Tony. Chip, thank you very much. Think about that. You cant say where youre going. You dont know how long youll be gone. You get 18 hours of warning before you leave. That wife said it best when she said shes so proud but shattering at the same time. Imagine how frightening and terrifying that must be for them. Those two conversations were so moving, what these families give up. Its a great piece. Pride and concern intermingled. Once again, theres real people behind these numbers. Families of 3,000 troops. Thank you very much. Harvey weinstein faces new sex crimes charges in los angeles as jury selection begins in his criminal trial ahead in new york.

Disgraced media mogul Harvey Weinstein faces for new sex crime charges in los angeles as jury selection gets under way in his l. A. Trial. New york charges based on a rape accusation from one woman and a Sexual Assault from another. The separate incidents allegedly took place over a twoday period in 2013. Now, those proceedings will not start until weinsteins trial in new york wraps up. Weinstein denies all allegations of nonconsensual sex in the case. He has not commented on the charges in los angeles. New york coordinator and cbs news contributor won a Pulitzer Prize for breaking news about Harvey Weinstein. Shes here with the developments of cbs news poll on impact of metoo and times up movements. Good to have you back at the table. Listen, it doesnt seem like yesterday was a very good day for Harvey Weinstein. What do these new charges mean, they come on the same day as they are selecting a jury. It was an incredibly dramatic development. Harvey weinstein is fighting charges on two front. As you said these l. A. Allegations are very dramatic. Prosecutors are basically accusing him of hurting women day after day in l. A. Remember, as jury selection starts in new york, the new york jury may know about what hes accused of doing in los angeles. Do you think these two cases could affect each other, jodi . They can in ways that are very unpredictable. First of all theres a woman involved in the two cases. Only one woman involved but the prosecutor can call other witnesses. One of those witnesses is also at the center of the l. A. Allegations. Thats the point his lawyer is making when we talked to her earlier, that you hear all these terrible stories about Harvey Weinstein. But it ended the day, this case only involves two women. So he may have been a center, she a sinner, she says, but not a criminal. What do you say about that . Until opening arguments happen, i think we dont really know the exact strength of the prosecution or of the defense. Heres the advantage that the prosecution has when they begin to show a pattern, that can be really devastating it. Remember that the nature of the Harvey Weinstein allegations is these women who are strangers to one another, who didnt know each other, theyre telling very similar stories about the same man over and over again. Thats really powerful. What the defense has on its side is that, member, the jury has to be unanimous to convict. When is the last time that 12 people you know agreed on these really complicated matters about sex and power . So they may be able to create some doubt about exactly what happened and about consents in the jurys mind. I want to get your reaction to the poll on times up times up and the me too movement. People are talking about Sexual Harassment and misconduct, but most people say things have not changed. Does that surprise you . Well, i think whats confounding is that everythings changed and nothings changed. What we see twoplus years later is first of all, people are still confuse good what Sexual Harassment is. Its not a criminal charge like the ones in these cases in new york and l. A. And its not really about sex. Its about work. Its about womens opportunities in the workplace and going into the workplace and trying to do a job and instead being asked for something else. I think also its part of why this case is so symbolic because what weve seen is that social attitudes have shifted, but have they shifted in the courtroom . Have our laws shifted . How will a jury respond to this kind of evidence . Will they see it differently than a jury might have seen it a decade or two ago . Well see. You also say the case is so much bigger than justice one man. Exactly just one man. Exactly. Thank you. Tomorrow well look at the times up Legal Defense funds and its effort to help victims of Sexual Harassment at work. The latest Tv Technology caters to people who love watching videos on their phones.

Its part of this vanguard of smart hearables. 180 bucks. Have you ever saktaken a selfied your arm wasnt long snuff . Many times. Fyki sticks. Repr the sticks are the worst. Selfie sticks are so dead in 2020, right. You have this thing called the air picks from air selfie. This is it looks like a drone. Its not. Its an aerial camera. You get this thing going and say get a picture of me. It takes off. Its framing me up with a facial recognition camera.

And its 100 bucks. Very inexpensive lightweight accessory. For those photos where you want to get the family in on a vacation shot, its perfect. This is going to get those. Brian, what is the coolest new robot you have seen . Reporter from charmin, if you can believe that. They work with a robotics lab to build this guy called the roll bot. Its a little tongueincheek. It goes after a very interesting ethic. This is a rose bowl that will bring you a robot that brings you fresh loaded toilet paper. Guess whats out . There is not another roll you can reach. We have all been there. Have you tried it . Reporter well, not in not lately, no. But there is a lot of week left. And so it uses your phone as a beacon. And so it follows you to your phone and says i know where you are and you summon it and it brings you toilet paper. It also assumes very accurately that were always sitting on the can with our phones. Interesting as well. An interesting dog we saw is called the tom bot. Its 400 robotic dog. You say here is cooley with another robot. Its not meant to be a cute little pet. It is that and amazing life like, but its animalassisted therapy for dementia patients. Groups use dogs for posttraumatic stress disorder, paws for purple hearts uses that. But real dogs are sentient beings, take a lot of training. This could be scaled quickly. Great for working with prisoners who need to have a sense of relationship and responsibility with a living creature. It will be 400 bucks when it comes out later this year. You dont have to walk it, brian. I like that idea. Brian, lets talk about makeup and finding the perfect lipstick color. I hear they have something that will help you do this a. Have you tried that one . Reporter loreal has well, i didnt try it personally. Loreal has something. Its a little tower and you put some cartridges of different lipstick colors in. When i saw it i go, wait a minute, thats the paint mixing machine from home depot. It creates lipstick colors using an app that gives you the perfect shade. I am interested in it because it also blends in custom skin care. You look good but you are doing something good for you and its a custom mix just for you. Really cool stuff. We like it. Thank you, brian. Good job. Reporter interesting. Upthe this is a kpix 5 news morning update. Good morning. It is 8 25. Ever hitting the roads its been busy all morning long especially on the nimitz freeway as well as 580. West bound 580 at montana street we have a stalled vehicle. Traffic is backed up as you head into oakland this morning. And if you plan on taking 880 in the south bay south of 880 that left lane is blocked. Youve got a crash reported there and that is causing delays. I will be in both directions. Taking a look at our bay area bridges looking a little bit better at the bay bridge. Things have improved. The metering lights are still on and were still seeing delays beyond 880 overpass and the Golden Gate Bridge starting to slow down just north of here if south not seen any major accidents or incidents in marin county. A clear start to the day with cold temperatures. Even chillier than yesterday morning. Looking at dense fog especially for the east bay as we start off the day with patchy frost in land. Mostly sunny skies and increasing clouds later in the afternoon and light scattered showers tonight and overnight. A weak cold front pushing through. The visibility down to zero in concord and a 10th of a mile in fairfield so dense fog for concord and fairfield and as we head through the date daytime highs a little bit cooler compared to yesterday but seasonal. And there we go with mostly sunny skies this afternoon but increasing clouds and scattered light showers for tonight and looking at partly sunny skies, cooler wednesday, showers thursday and plenty of sun on friday and showers on saturday. Whatd we decide on the flyers again . Uh, fifteen minutes could save you 15 or more on car insurance. I think were gonna swap over to over seventyfive years of savings and service. What, were just gonna swap over . Yep. Pump the breaks on this, swap it over to that. Pump the breaks, and, uh, swap over . Thats right. Instead of all this that ive already . Yeah. What are we gonna do with these . Keep it at your desk, and save it for next time. Geico. Over 75 years of savings and service. Welcom welcome back to cbs this morning. The time we bring you the stories that are the talk of the table this morning. When i was on vacation a lot of people stopped me and said i love to see what stories you guys pick. I go, we love that, too. We each pick a table pick a table . We pick a topic at the table. Were talking about it, anthony, youre up. I am starting this off. We are remembering a giant in the d not just because john bell sorry was 67. He was highly influential co in conceptual artist. In the 70s he helped build the los angeles arts scene and took hollywood movie deals and putting prices over the faces of people. He received a number of honors, the National Medal of arts. I visited him in venice, california, after he painted a car for bmw in thecompanys art car series. Wow. He told us art has no boundaries. One of his most famous gestures, he decided to he wanted to change course and literally burned all of his work that filled ten boxes. He said it was forcing him to start over again. Really a towering figure i the art world who will be greatly misses. Tony, whats your story . Do you have any of his work . I wish. I never heard of him until your piece. Very expensive. The plantbased industry is rapidly expanding. This is a meat alternative. So people who want a burger but dont want all the meat, so they get a veggie burger. Here is a little bit of an advisory for vegetarians and vegans. Think twice about some of the Meat Alternatives being offered. Yesterday burger king launched the rebel whopper. This was in the u. K. But the fast food chain put a disclaimer on its website saying the rebel whopper is plantbased. So far, so good. However, it is cooked on the same broiler as our original whopper, the beef one, and may not be suitable for vegetarians. Whoops. Yes. They say its aimed at flextarions, which are people who occasionally dont want to eat meat. This makes Good Business sense from burger kings perspective. They dont have to get a new grill. Strict vegetarians are 5 of the population. More people are plant curious, but not a lot of vegetarians. Y. That could be my last meal maybe. I dont want to think about that. I dont want to go to jail. All right. Here you go. I am thinking jail . You know, in jail a last meal. I understand. Thats what i was talking about. A leap for me. Okay. That is an image. As far as i know, i am a lawabiding citizen. Im talking about jeopardy . The alltime greatest contestants will go buzzer to buzzer tonight. James holzhauer who swept the game in a 32day winning streak. We were playing along with james last season will be competing with ken jennings, the record holder for the highest winnings in regular season play. Dont forget about brad rutter. He is the highest earning contestant of all time. How much did he win . 4. 7 million. You go, mr. Rudder. The first to win three matches will receive 1 million and bragging rights. The runners up get 250,000. Thats not bad either. So i cant wait to see when the best of the best get together and play. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Who are we rooting for . I like all of them. I want a real good fight. Thats what i want. I do, as well. Good sports, a lot of smiles. A lot of smiles. Yeah. But i want to kill, you tony. A lot of smiles.

A new book shows us how we can all make the most of our lives as we grow older. Starting today and even stretching into our 90s. Suessful aging is by bestselling author, neuroscientist and cognitive psychologist, his name is daniel levitan. He writes that openness, associations, con shenness and Healthy Practices are choices that can impacts the rest of our lives. Your personality matters, too. Daniel joins us to discuss successful aging. You say aging is not a simple period of decay. I was reading this the day i turned 65. I read this with both eyes. Aging is not a simple period of decay. It can be a period of unique growth. Its actually a time of blossoming. What do you mean by that . You know, the societal narrative is that aging is a time of decline yes. Depression. The research does not bear that out. Good. For most of us, its a time of renewed energy. Oldsters i like to call them, like hipsters and youngsters, oldsters are more compassionate.
