Whats fun is watching her and also watching her parents watch her. Were shearing for you and serena. Welcome to cbs this morning. Im gayle king with tony to could you please ail r dokoupil who made it here. Were going to begin with Tropical Storm dorian because hes bearing toward puerto rico. Islanders now expect a direct hit. Forecasters say this storm is gaining strength before its likely landfall later there today. Authorities say it could bring landslides, lifethreatening flooding and Power Outages, too. Dorian is also on track to hit the bahamas and florida this week as a possible category 2 hurricane. President trump has already declared an emergency in puerto rico, and our lead National Correspondent David Begnaud is in ponce, puerto rico. There you are, david, in the thick of it again. What are the weather conditions right now . Reporter beautiful. You wouldnt know anything is coming, tony. Last night the storm strengthened slightly, 16 miles an hour, and the path of the storm has moved north. Sohe metro area of san juan where a majority of people live, they look like theyre going to get a direct hit. If youre sitting at home saying, david, dont overblow it talking about a direct hit from a Tropical Stormrm. Youre talking about a troca storm heading to a very vulnerable island with a weak grid that collapsed after Hurricane Maria and is still being rebuilt right now. The fear that this could be disastrous is why the federal government has sent 500 employees here in addition to the 3,000 they already have. Its why the local government have told people gather ten days of supplies. Its why people still reeling from Hurricane Maria are very worried about dorian. As Tropical Storm dorian takes aim at puerto rico, people here are still recovering from the devastation of Hurricane Maria, and that was two years ago. So thats why now they are preparing for the worst. The land is not pretty anymore. Reporter some people who dont trust the governments preparations have decided to leave. Im secure here with the power, the food, the security. So im leaving. Reporter most people are staying. We went to fema to find out how ready they are. What gives you confidence that youre better prepared now . I think, first of all, the amount of supplies we have. Reporter two years after Hurricane Maria, 30,000 homes are still covered with blue tarps. About 1,000 roads remain impassable around the island. If you look around at this warehouse, we have fooiive where only had one. Weve spent the last two years learning some lessons and making sure were much better prepared. Reporter yesterday President Trump claimed Congress Declared 92 million for puerto rico in aid after marias devastation. Thats not true. Congress has only allocated 42 billion. Less than 14 billion of that has actually gotten to the island. The ceo of the islands Power Company made a bold prediction last night. He said if the entire island were to lose power in a worstcase scenario, he predicts he could have the lights back on in two weeks. We have to restore as quick as possible. Its not acceptable what happened the last time. Many people waited for 11 months to get power back. Imagine if it was your family. Its going to be different. Reporter thats a tall prediction from mr. Ortiz. Well have to see what happens. After Hurricane Maria, the communications grid collapsed. Nobody could talk to anybody. So fema has brought in 100 satellite phones that they want to give to every mayor on the island. If you were watching it is cbs evening news last night, we told you the phones hadnt been activated and we were less than 24 hours before landfall. Today fema says theyre activated and theyre going to hand them out to every single mayor today. They dont have much time. In less than 15 hours, we should feel the effects of the storm. This morning the u. S. Virgin islands are also under a hurricane watch. Cbs news climate and weather contributor Jeff Berardelli is here tracking dorian. Where else is the storm likely headed, do you think . If you are located on the southeast coast, pay very close attention to the system. A lot has changed since last night. Lets talk about it. You can see a big blowup of thunderstorms on the northeastern side, thats the stronger side. It has shifted east. Its a little stronger than it was last night. Winds are 60 miles an hour. Its moving northwest. Notice the system is likely probably to pass just to the east of puerto rico. That means the worst of it over the virgin islands. Puerto rico is on the better side, but still, heavy rain and gusty winds and Power Outages are possible. Thats the official forecast track. Moves near puerto rico this afternoon, winds around 70 miles an hour just short of a hurricane. But look at this. It moves over a very nurturing environment for strengthening across the bahamas and towards florida. Reaches the florida area by sunday. Monday now predicted to be a category 2 storm. We put our spaghetti model plats on. Some actually take it along the coast and not into northeast florida. Its going to miss the big mountains of haiti and the dominican republic. That means it maintains its strength. Look how hot the waters are. Its predicted to be a category 2. It could easily be a cat 3 or 4. Pay close attention. With fema facing a serious situation in puerto rico and florida, the Trump Administration is taking millions designated for Disaster Relief to pay for operations along the mexican border. The department of Homeland Security says it will move 271 million out of its budget to help build larger facilities for migrants detained along the border. Dhs says the transfer will not affect Disaster Relief operations, but one House Democrat says the move could have deadly consequences. Cbs news says the maker of oxycontin has offered to pay billions of dollars to settle lawsuits stemming from the Opioid Crisis. A government source with knowledge of these negotiations says Purdue Pharma is offering billions of dollars. They answered questions about a painkiller in deposi do you believe produced marketing was overaggressive . No. Do you believe produced marketing was appropriate . I believe so. Anna werner has been closely following this story for months now, and i guess the big question is what led to the release of the this individuis . This deposition was released as part of a 2015 lawsuit brought by Purdue Pharma in the state of kentucky, a lawsuit that was ultimately settled for over 20 million. As we said, that more than eighthour video deposition obtained and in it, the former president and chairman of Purdue Pharma, says under oath he does not know how much the family has made off the sale of oxycontin. Purdue pharma is best known as the developer of oxycontin. The company is facing billions of dollars in potential liability for its role in the nations Opioid Crisis. Its unclear how much purdues owners, the sackler family, would have to pay. The company has released a statement saying its prepared to defend itself in court but says the company has made clear it sees little good coming from years of wasteful litigation and appeals and the people in communities affected by the Opioid Crisis need help now. Talks of a potential settlement come two days after that landmark decision in oklahoma. In that case a judge ordered pharmaceutical giant Johnson Johnson to pay 572 million for its role in the states Opioid Crisis. Adriana . Anna, thank you. Nearly two dozen women who say Jeffrey Epstein abused them have told their stories to a judge while newly revealed police video takes us inside epsteins florida mansion. The video comes from a 2005 investigation of epsteins relationships with underage girls. Epstein was jailed in new york city on sex trafficking charges earlier this year. He took his own life more than two weeks ago. Mola lenghi is covering the case. What does this show . The footage appears to show the ground floor of Jeffrey Epsteins home, the upstairs as well as the pool area. Jeffrey epsteins house just one of the locations where many of his victims stai they weay they abused. The video also appears to show one of his highprofile alleged accomplices. The 2005 video shows armed police enter Jeffrey Epsteins palm beach home. According to palm beach affiliate, they received a warning. Upstairs there is a portfolio for Ghislaine Maxwell. She has been accused of finding the underage girls. She has not been charged. There also appears to be a grahaired man and a brunette woman in the press room. They are unable to label the photo. Epstein was convicted of child prostitution and served 13 months in jail prior to this. Epstein hanged himself this month while facing new criminal charges. They have decided to dismiss the pfinancier. T the disgraceful epstein accuser shawntae davies is one of 20 victims the court heard from during a hearing in new york tuesday. It makes me sick to my stomach that there are perpetrators out there who obviously helped him in many ways for a very long time, and theyre still out there with no punishment. Reporter in court davies and other accusers took aim at epsteins accomplices. Davies claims she was introduced to epstein by Ghislaine Maxwell. Another one also said she was introduced by maxwell. Gloria allred represents the accusers. Epsteins death, whether it was a suicide or murder, does not end the case. It does not end their fight for justice. Epsteins attorneys say they also want answers after questioning the medical examiners finding that epstein died by hanging himself. They say the report is inadequate. They believe the broken bones in epsteins neck are more consistent with assault and homicide. Adriana . In the next hour we will talk with epstein accuser shawntae davies about the claims she made in court and what it was like hearing the other womens stories. The ceo of juul, the topselling ecigarette company, is responding to the growing number of breathing cases of people who vape. Theyre looking into 200 possible cases of severe lung diseases that may be tied to the use of ecigarettes. The cases are reported now in at least 22 states. In his first broadcast interview as juul lab ceo, kevin burns talks to us about his concerns. It seems like every day we get a new report from some Health Department around the country saying that someone has disease tied to vaping. Vere lung when that kind of report pops up, whats the reaction . Worrisome. Worrisome for the category, worrisome for us if we contributed to it. Cdc is leading the investigations. Were obviously in close contact wihe you are . Youre working with them . Yeah. Theyre in charge of the instigation. Wed like to get all the specifics that we can. We want to make sure we have access to the information so if there is any issue that was driven associated with us that we can get to the root cause and understand it. Why not take a pause . Why not say we have nearly 200 people hospitalized with lung illnesses tied to vaping. Were the biggest seller of this stuff. Why not just take a timeout until we figure out whats going on . We dont even know if its related to nicotine products. Most of the reports say its related to thc. I dont know about most. Most have said its related to thc. We dont have the details in those reports. If there was any indication that there was an Adverse Health condition related to our product, i think we would take very swift action associated with it. So you feel confident enough to keep selling despite these reports, that juul is not contributing to these more than a hundred thousand dozen cases . At this point until we see the facts, and cdc is leading the investigation, yes, we do. Thats ceo kevin burns. Hes very confident in his product. Whats interesting is cigarettes themselves were a tragedy in the 20th century. People are critical of juul because they dont want to see a second tragedy with ecigarettes. His take is if we dont see a chance for success with juul products, thats also a tragedy. Its an interview youll only see on cbs this morning. Hes going to unveil in the conversation tomorrow a major new initiative to address the thing thats on a lot of peoples minds, and thats the epidemic of vaping among teenagers that seems unabated at this point. I think if you were affected by this, you would say, how many more facts do you need . But thats why you were on the red eye. Thats true. So im a little dented this morning. Were glad you made it. Were learning more about the strategy of two highprofile defendants in the College Admissions scandal. Lori loughlin and her husband rushed by journalists in boston yesterday before appearing before a federal judge. Now they face questions about potential conflicts of interest involving their lawyers. Carter evans is live with this story. Carter, will the two of them be tried separately . Reporter no, theyre in this together. They want to be represented by the same attorney, and from what we heard in court yesterday, theyre going to pursue an aggressive Legal Defense strategy rather than taking any plea deals, as many others have. Lori loughlin and her husband Mossimo Giannulli showed up with their heads down, quite different than previous showings. I think their demeanor tends to reflect they are taking this matter seriously. Theyve been talking to their lawyers, they know theyre going into court. This is really happening. Reporter lori, do you think you can win this trial . Reporter they wouldnt answer questions minutes after entering the courtroom where they formally waived their rights to separate attorneys. The judge asked about a potential conflict of interest. Some of the attorneys representing the couple work at a law firm representing another defendant caught up in the admissions scandal who is now cooperating with prosecutors. The judge is expected to rule on that matter in a few days. Loughlin and giannulli are accused of paying half a Million Dollars to rick singer, the mastermind of the scandal, to get their two daughters accepted into the university of Southern California by falsely designating them as crew team recruits. Through these court proceedings, were also learning more about a potential defense strategy. Lawyers in Court Tuesday claim the couple was donating to a nonprofit, unaware of what singer may or may not have been doing. Thats great if the jury believes it, but the jury might not. Especially if other parents say, we all knew what was going on here. Reporter theyre going to be back in court on october 2nd, but were soon going to have the results of another very highprofile case. Felicity huffman is saet to be sentenced in just two good wednesday morning to you. A cooler day across the bay area with that onshore breeze kicking in for us and with that well see temps about 5 to 10 degrees cooler than this time yesterday. 74 oakland and 70 for San Francisco.
