Transcripts For KYW CBS Evening News With Jeff Glor 20180115

And they were with dr. King on his final march. This man, hes going to change a lot of things. This is the cbs evening news with jeff glor. Glor good evening. President trump is returning to the white house tonight ahead of a big week and following what has been an eventful day. There were protests outside his maralago estate in florida by haitians upset about the president s comments last week. On this dr. Martin luther king, jr. , day, kings children also criticized the language. We cannot allow the nations of the world to embrace the words that come from our president as a reflection of the true spirit of america. Glor well, this comes as the president and Congressional Democrats are at odds over the future of daca and funding the government. Margaret brennan is at the white house tonight. Margaret . Reporter well, the immigration debate is complicating efforts to keep the government open as some democrats want to see the daca Program Extended along with that funding bill on friday. But thats something that the Republican Leadership is rejecting. But the president still needs at least Nine Senate Democrats to vote for any spending bill, and at this point, thats a challenge for him. Now, he needs to do this to avoid a government shutdown. Today the president actually said that the Senior Senate democrat from illinois, dick durbin, blew negotiations by having totally misrepresented what was said at the daca meeting last thursday in the oval office. Remember, durbin said that the president used an expletive to refer to haiti, el salvador, and african nations. Republican senator Lindsey Graham said he didnt like what he had heard, and he did confront the president about it. Now, this public argument seems to be unnecessarily complicating an issue that has bipartisan support. According to the latest cbs news poll, 70 of americans favor daca, including a slim majority of the president s own supporters. Glor margaret, what is the likelihood at this point of a deal by friday . Reporter well, the president said yesterday he is ready, willing, and able to cut a deal on daca, but then he accused democrats of not really wanting it. He said that a senior g. O. P. Source as well talking to cbs said that their impression is that democrats are intentionally risking a government shutdown, one that would also happen to coincide with the oneyear anniversary of the president s first year in office. Jeff . Glor margaret brennan, thank you very much. The false alarm in hawaii over the weekend was also a wakeup call for officials responsible for security. The employee who made that mistake has now been reassigned, and David Begnaud is in honolulu. Reporter the agency that made the mistake says its receiving threats after the chaos and confusion that sent people panicking. This little girl was lowered into a manhole. 5,500 people called 911. It was a mistake on our part, and i regret the stress and concern and worry that people went through. Reporter hawaiis Emergency Management administrator says vern miyagi says an employee krikorianed the wrong button twice clicked the wrong button twice. He was supposed to select the option for drill, but he clicked the real thing. At 8 07 local time, this alert of a Ballistic Missile threat was issued by the state Emergency Management agency. Take immediate action. Reporter for what felt like an eternity, islanders heard this a missile may impact on land or sea within minutes. This is not a drill. Reporter within three minutes the person who made the mistake realized it, but it would take 38 minutes to send out a correction. We went to see where the mistake happened, the hawaii emergency manage. Agency, which is tucked inside that bunker in honolulu. With all due respect, are you sure this was an accident . Yes. I know the individual. This was an accident. Not intentional at all. There are no windows in the interior of our house. Reporter Amanda Thompson screamed when she read the alert. She and her husband took their kids and hid in a closet. We grabbed everything we possibly could, food, water bottles, as im crying my eyes out, we called his parents, and im crying is hard that they cant understand me. Reporter since december 1st, state officials have resumed drills of the attack warning signal used to notify the public of an inbound missile. So heres whats being done to make sure this doesnt happen again the governor now wants two people to be involved in every drill, and now on the computer screen, there is a false alarm template, so should someone make another mistake, jeff, it shouldnt take 38 minutes to correct it. Glor all right, David Begnaud, thank you very much. There is also fear that a false alarm could lead to an accidental war. Jan crawford has been looking into this. First you duck, and then you cover. Reporter for a generation in the cold war, the threat of a Nuclear Attack was ever present. There might not be any grownups around when the bomb exexplodes. Then youre on your own. Reporter todays warheads are many times more powerful and deadly, and as information comes faster than ever, it raises the risk of panic public for whats called a nightmare scenario, a false alarm that triggers Accidental Nuclear war. Bruce alexander is a National Security expert. We need to have some sort of awe thentdcation system. We also have to look at who is authorized to launch these particular alerts and what particular situations. Reporter false alarms are nothing new. In 1971, norad sent this erroneous teletype to thousands of broadcast stations, activating the emergency broadcast system to announce the United States was under Nuclear Attack. In 1979, computers at norad headquarters detected what appeared to be a massive soviet missile attack. The u. S. Went on high alert, but it was actually a war game tape that had been mistakenly loaded into norads computers. Officials had only minutes to decide whether the warning was accurate and whether or not to retaliate. The overriding concern right now is the president of north korea. So in this case, minutes really do matter given that, you know, the proximity they have and the ability to respond or prepare for that. Reporter in the case of a true emergency, a wireless alert to the public could come from national, state, or local authorities, all of whom are supposed to have had fema training. In this case fema is investigating what happened in order to prevent it from happening again. Now, the current Emergency Alert system has has been in place since 2012. Experts we talked to said better training and more controls can fix these issues, and its fortunate that we know of these problems because of a false alarm instead of failure during an actual event. Jeff . Glor jan crawford, thank you very much. We turn now to a disturbing story that is emerging out of Southern California tonight. A husband and wife are accused of locking up their 13 children in awful conditions, some malnourished. One, authorities say, was able to get out and summon help. Danielle nottingham is in our los angeles newsroom with more on this. Reporter the 17yearold girl escaped her Riverside County home to tell police a harrowing story of how her siblings were tortured by their parents. 56yearold David Allen Turpin and his wife 49yearold louise ann turpin. 12 brothers and sisters were bound with chains and padlocked by their own parents. Malnourished and dehydrated, the children, as young as two years old, were being held in a dark and foulsmelling house without food or water. The neighborhood in california, a relatively rural area, is 71 miles east of los angeles. All 13 victims were rescued by officers from the Riverside Police department and Sheriffs Department and transported to a local hospital where they are being treated. Their parents were booked on 39 counts of torture and child endangerment. Theyre being held on 9 million bail. Detectives reported that some of the victims were actually adults, but they were so emaceuated that they looked like children. Jeff . Glor danielle, thank you very much. It is hard to believe some of the details emerging on that story. Now, nearly a week after the mudslides in Southern California, the death toll is 20. Three people are still missing this evening. Jamie yuccas is in Santa Barbara county. Reporter on blocks where the river of mud destroyed homes as people slept, cadaver dogs continued an exhaustive search for the missing. Theyre trying to find peoples family members and give them some closure. Exactly, yeah. The whole community, too. This is a tightknit community. Reporter but closure here is a long way away. Theres nothing left. The main highway 101 is shut down for 30 miles, turning commutes into 250mile, fourhour backroad detours. Utility companies are trying to restore power and communication to mudencased neighborhoods. There is no water. Drone footage shows the slow process of removing so much mud, some of it is stuck to oncepristine beaches where it can drain into the sand. The local glowsry store is giving out free water and food to rescue workers after three employees lost family members. When you work in a community as we all do, you know these people, and to see them every day and you know their families, you watch their kids grow up, its pretty emotional for everybody involved. Reporter crews are working around the clock to clear that mud and debris from the freeway, but it likely be another week before the 101 is back open. Amtrak has added some cars to help out, but commuters say theyre packed, jeff. Glor jamie yuccas, thank you very much. Investigators continue looking into a terrible boat fire in florida.
