Hurry up, jimmy, i need hair and makeup and clothes. Really glad we made it back safe and sound. Welcome to cbs this morning. We begin with this. Iran is lashing out at the u. S. Overnew financial pressure, saying there will be no diplomatic end to the standoff. This morning, iranian president Hassan Rowhani called new u. S. Sanctions outrageous and idiotic, his words. The spokesman for Irans Foreign Ministry says that measures equal a permanent closure for diplomacy. After iran shot down a u. S. Drone last week, President Trump signed an executive order yesterday, targeting irans Supreme Leader for the first time. The sanctions block access to the International Financial system. Ben tracy is at the white house. Ben, irans president really laid into mr. Trump. Well, he certainly did not hold back. In an offensive choice of words, he said the white house is, quote, afflicted by mental retardation and mocked President Trump for imposing these sanctions and also asking for talks. And then this morning, iran is now saying it is going to reduce its commitment to the 2015 nuclear deal that President Trump pulled out of. Who knows whats going to happen. I can only tell you, we cannot ever let iran have a nuclear weapon. Instead of using force, President Trump put on a show of it in the oval office, signing the sanctions order in front of the cameras. The sanctions target irans Supreme Leader and eight Iranian Military commanders, including the official the u. S. Believes is responsible for shooting down an american drone last week. Mr. President , is your goal to negotiate a deal . We would love to be able to negotiate a deal. They dont want to. If they dont want to, thats fine too. The u. S. Has imposed nearly 1,000 sanctions on iran since pulling out of the nuclear deal and they are taking a toll on its economy. The value of irans currency has dropped 60 and inflation is more than 40 . You cant start a dialogue with somebody who is certainly intimidating you. On monday, irans ambassador to the u. N. Said tensions between the two countries is, quote, really dangerous. Instead of negotiating, iran is retaliating, allegedly attacking tankers in the persian gulf, shooting down the american drone and threatening to enrich more uranium, the fuel that can be used to make nuclear bombs. What they have sought to do is to try to turn up the heat to see if the president will respond and to see what they can, in fact, get away with. President trump warns that if he does change his approach, he does not need congressional approval for a strike. I do like keeping them abreast, but i dont have to do it legally. Now, the president says he still wants to talk to irans leaders, and the only precondition is they cannot have nuclear weapons. Of course, the nuclear deal the president pulled out of last year was designed to prevent just that. Anthony . Ben, iran will be a prime topic at the g20 summit later this week. What should we expect . Well, you can expect a lot of u. S. Allies to raise questions about this strategy. So farther not on board with these sanctions and the russians are also getting involved now too. They say they have intelligence that shows that u. S. Drone was in iranian air space when it was shot down last week. Anthony . Ben, thank you. The Trump Administration is moving hundreds of Migrant Children from a texas Border Patrol facility where they were held in conditions described as squalor and unsanitary. Omar is in mission, texas, where migrant families often cross the border there. Omar, the details of this story are so upsetting. I guess the question now is, where are the kids . Good morning. A spokesperson with the office of Refugee Resettlement told us a majority of the children who were in the facility will now be transferred into their custody. As for the 50 or so children who were not transferred out of the facility, still dont know what is going to happen to them. This all comes as lawyers inspected the clint location last week and described children living in unsanitary conditions. And we spoke to one of the lawyers, laura mckergy, of what she saw. Many children have not had access to a single shower or bath. They were wearing the same dirty clothing they crossed the border with. Their clothes were stained with snot, with breastmilk, with urine. And children didnt have access to any soap to wash their hands. Theres insufficient food for the children. Nearly every child i spoke with was hungry. Many of them do not have mattresses to sleep on. They dont even have mats. Theyre sleeping on concrete floors. She said some of the children have been at the facility in customs and Border Patrol custody for weeks and according to federal law, unaccompanied minors must be transferred within 72 hours. Thats three days to the office of Refugee Resettlement, which is a special division that knows how to deal with children. Now, immigration officials have said their facilities are overcrowded and overwhelmed as more people come over the southern border. We reached out to cvp for comment, but they did not get back to us. Omar, thank you very much. I think one of the questions here, why did it take public reporting and public outrage before something happened . Like they were shamed into it. You know these children, of course, deserve better. And i just think that we are better as a country. This isnt how we treat people. These are children. Its very, very, very disturbing. Yeah. All right. Were going to move on to this. Never before seen video from the Jussie Smollett hate crime shows a noose around the actors neck. This was taken inside smolletts home in january at the time when he told police he was attacked. Its part of nearly 1,200 files, including more than 70 hours of footage newly released by the department. Adriana diaz has the evidence that says the department proves the attack was a hoax. Moments officers first arrived at Jussie Smolletts apartment after the actor claimed he had been attacked. Smollett still has what appears to be a noose around his neck. Do you want to take it off or anything . Smollett told police he was assaulted by two masked men, yelling racist and homophobic slurs. For more than three weeks, at least 24 detectives searched for the two men, and investigated smolletts claims. They eventually reached this conclusion. Smollett paid 3,500 to stage this attack and drag chicagos reputation through the mud in the process. Police say smollett paid brothers able and hola to stage the attacks because he was angry over his salary. Newly released video showed the brothers on their way to the scene of the attack. So whats going on here . And their arrests at chicagos Ohare Airport less than a month later. The brothers told police, smollett paid them to conduct the attack. Ive been truthful and consistent on every single level since day one. Smollett, who has maintained his innocence, was arrested and later charged with 16 felony counts for lying to police, charges that were later dropped by the cook county states attorneys office. Back the blue stirring up massive protests. In march, we spoke to state attorney kim fox, who defended the decision. The nature of this case suggests that he was eligible for an alternative prosecution. Theres elliigible and optional. You could have tried to go to trial with him. We could have. The backlash against state attorney kim fox continued long after her Office Dropped those charges against smollett. A judge even ordered that a special prosecutor investigate the handling of the case, which could mean more charges against smollett. All right, adriana, thank you. Investigators in the bahamas want to know what caused a violent bus crash involving american tourists. More than 30 people were aboard the bus when it overturned yesterday. Five were hurt, four of those victims were flown to a hospital in florida. Images show the bus on its side and people sprawled out on the road. The outing was part of a carnival ecstasy cruise that left jacksonville, florida, saturday. We know more this morning about a missing university of utah student and where she was before she disappeared more than a week ago. Police say mckenzie lieuic was seen meeting an unknown person in the middle of the night. David begno is following this story. What are we learning . We have received a host of new information since we first brought this story 24 hours ago. Police say Mckenzie Lewis arrived at the airport last week. She took a lyft to hatch park, 20 minutes from the airport, right off the 15 freeway. Investigators say the 23yearold met an unknown individual, put her bag in that persons car, seemed happy to see the person, and then left. She hasnt been seen or heard from since. Our detectives have been working around the clock on this case. Police in Salt Lake City worked overnight to find the person who met mckenzie at that park the morning she disappeared. Salt lakes assistant police chief says investigators have been searching the area for clues, looking for surveillance footage. Detectives have spoken with the lyft driver and learned that mckenzie was met at hatch park by an individual in a vehicle. The lyft driver left mckenzie at the park with that person and stated that mckenzie did not appear to be any type of distress. Investigators have given us this time line, which starts at 1 35 a. M. On monday, june 17. When lueck landed at the airport after going to california for her grandmothers funeral. She texted her mother at 2 01 00 a. M. To let her know she arrived. 40 minutes later, she took a lyft to hatch park in north Salt Lake City. She arrived there just before 3 00 a. M. Detectives have interviewed her friends and acquaintances from school, and we have checked locations she was known to frequent. Doubt says luecks cell phone isnt ringing. No call, no email, no social media, nothing. A spokesperson for luecks family tells cbs news a major part of the investigation is her dating life and use of dating apps. Investigators are exploring whether she had any secret media accounts or an alternative cell phone. We dont have any evidence any foul play has occurred, but the circumstances of her just going off the grid is concerning to us. Our cbs affiliate in Salt Lake City reports that police have six officers who are working a tip line this morning. We actually posted the number on our website. Its 8017994420. Keep in mind, she missed her midterm college exam, and she was supposed to fly home to los angeles on sunday, but she didnt make that flight either. Peculiar circumstances. 3 00 a. M. In a park . And getting into another car . Who takes a lyft to get to a car . Bottom line, shes an adult. If shes okay and wants to go off the grid, thats cool. But they want to hear from her. Let somebody know. Very disturbing. Too many milestones she missed. Yeah. Shes apparently responsible and reliable. Yeah. She hasnt been heard from. Not a word. All right. Well stay on top of that story. Thank you. In his first u. S. Tv interview, the head of instagram says the platform is evaluating many things, including how to handle those socalled fakes. You know, phony videos manipulated to look and sound very real. Adam rose arrestee took over instagram. Facebook owns instagram. We met him yesterday for a wideranging interview, including what theyre doing about a deepfake video including a video featuring mark zuckerberg. There is one right now with cbs. Have you seen that one . Yes. Cbs with mark saying something that he didnt really say. One man with total control of billions of peoples stolen data. It clearly is a fake video. Yes. Now, in the past, you seem to be against deepfakes and lets get them down. Were surprised you havent taken that one down. Why . We dont have a policy against deepfakes currently. Were trying to evaluate if we want to do that and if so how you would define deepfakes. In this particular one, it looks like hes talking to cbs and he isnt. Yes. Saying something he didnt say. Yes. Thats not good. No. Adam, ive seen it too. Its not good. I dont feel good about it. Well, you can take it down. You know people. Well, i actually think more than taking it down, i think its a question about how do we do it in a principled way. Were not going to make a oneoff decision to take a piece of video down just because its o of mark and mark happens to run the place. That would be really inappropriate and irresponsible. We need to be transparent about this. But its influencing people with things that arent true. Thats why its upsetting. I agree with you. Yeah. But if it takes too long to identify it, at that point the damage is done. We can declare victory, but thats not a victory at all. Thats totally hollow. The thing were focused on now is not whether you take it down when you find it but how do you find it more quickly. If you dont, if millions of people see a video like that in the first 24 hours or first 48 hours the damage is done. The damage is done. So the conversation so very important currently is moot. But why leave it up when you know its a tea pardeepfake. Right now we try to balance safety and speech. And that balance is really, really tricky. But honestly right now i think the most important thing for us to focus on is getting to the content quicker. Once we can do that, then we can have the next debate about whether or not to take it down. Ill just say, adam, its tough to look at that video, knowing its fraud. I struggle with it too. Im a person too. Yeah. And its not like i dont have my own beliefs and i dont see stuff that violates or disagrees with me online or instagram from time to time. Despite cbs asking facebook to take down the video for copyright violation, the company as you see has refused, pointing to the First Amendment concerns. So adam and i went back and forth and at the end, i said, well, were just going to have to agree to disagree on this point. But hes very thoughtful, hes looking at everything. Hes been on the job nine months now. He said thats how long it takes to have a normal, healthy baby. But, you know, i really we had a great conversation. And he really is he takes this job very seriously and hes very wellliked in the company. He came in very unusual circumstances. I agree, these are very tricky circumstances for them. But, i mean, as we were discussing with nick thompson, i think last week, you know, they can take things down in a hurry when they really want to. Because its a business problem. Yes. This video shouldnt be up. Its not real. And they know it. And they know it. You can argue, the damage is done, but i dont understand why its still there. Had, anthony. Yeah. We went back and forth. He knows people. The ceo of instagram cant do it, who can . Yeah. I dont understand. They are looking into it. We will have more of our conversation with adam mosery tonight, and tomorrow, instagram reveals new features to stop online bullying. Americans hit with tens of billions of robocalls every year. Ahead first on cbs this morning, the governments new plan to crack down on those annoying and good tuesday morning. A beautiful thing across the bay area with plenty of sunshine and seasonal daytime highs. Temps cooler in land in the 90s yesterday to the 80s day. 81 in san jose, 73 oakland, 67 for San Francisco. We will continue to cool things down when the, thursday, and friday. Below average temps and warming up just in time for the weekend. We have much more news ahead we have much more news ahead, including an update on tourists who died in the Dominican Republic. The Dominican Republics Top Health Official speaks to cbs news, telling us there is no connection between the most recent deaths here. But americans who lost loved ones while vacationing on the island still want more answers. Coming up, on cbs this morning. This
