Help women fight back. Plus, dozens of cities are competing for amazons new headquarters and up to 50,000 new jobs. The best chance of winning and why some cities say its not worth the price. But we begin this morning with a look at todays you opener. Eye opener. Were at least as im concerned closer than weve been before. I have a very Good Relationship with steve bannon. I like steve a lot. Steve is doing what steve thinks is the right thing. And hes standing next to Mitch Mcconnell while hes saying it. Winners make policy and losers go home. Time is just about up for isis in raqqa. Kurdish forces retaking the isis strong hold. Troubles continue to mount for Harvey Weinstein. The companys board is meeting to discuss po sensualtential sale of the movie studio. A collision of two collapsed stars resulting in a huge shock wave that rippled across the universe. More people are getting to go home in northern california. Firefighters say theyre making progress but the danger is far from over. All that. Yankees win it as the big rookie broke through tonight. And all that matters. Senator john mccain is taking the nation to task for what he calls half baked spurious nationalism. We will not thrive in oworld where our leadership and ideals are absent. We wouldnt deserve to. On cbs this morning. These guys incredible. The fraternity at the university of central oklahoma posted this video of their homecoming routine on facebook. Theyre going to raise money for the Special Olympics and this is how theyre getting the word out. Welcome to cbs this morning. Charlie rose is off so jeff glor is with us. Always good to have you. We we again with a dramatic turning point in the fight against isis. U. S. Backed forces are celebrating the defeat of isis in its former strong hold of raqqa. There are multiple reports that the city has fallen. Fighters from the Syrian Democratic forces are dancing and they are chanting in the streets. Losing raqqa is a major blow for isis. The group once called the city its capital. Holly williams is inside raqqa with the military and the challenge is still ahead. Reporter good morning. From the very heart of raqqa, this place used to be an ordinary Traffic Circle but then isis turned into a place where they carried out public executions. They posted the evidence of those horrific killings on the internet. Now, the circle was retaken by these u. S. Backed Syrian Forces last night and yesterday we witnessed them on the streets of raqqa celebrating. They were in a victorious mood after a full month long battle. It is a bizarre feeling to be here because during the three plus years that isis was in control of raqqa, if i had somehow made it into isis territory i would almost certainly have been taken captive and very likely killed. Now, there are thought to be isis fighters still lurking and building in buildings and in tunnels here in raqqa and it could take months until the city is finally cleared of explosives that were laid by isis. Then they will somehow have to find a way to rebuild this shattered city. Where there is hardly a building that is unscathed. Some buildings like this one over here have been left pulverized by fighting. Others like the one behind me have been flattened by u. S. Air strikes. Nearly all of the residents from raqqa, perhaps all of them have left the city and many are in refugee camps. It is a terrible irony that in order to retake raqqa from isis theyve had to destroy it. That is ironic but a very big day there. Thank you very much. Holly williams reporting. President trump is promising to take action against the Opioid Epidemic after an investigation by 60 minutes and the Washington Post. I did see the report. Were going to look into the report. Were going to take it very seriously because were going to have a major announcement probably next week on the drug crisis and on the opioid massive problem.

They say they had no idea that the bill they passed unanimously last year may have tied the deas hands. Now, some of the bills authors say the problems are being overblown but others can see there are going to be theee changes. Reporter lawmakers areng to figure out how they unwutingly passed a bill that weakened the dea. The law makes it harder for Drug Enforcement officers to block suspicious shipments of opioids that can flood the black market and fuel addiction. There should have been a giant flashing red light. Missouri democrat introduced a bill monday to repeal the law. I think its fairly clear some of them were trying to work with the drug companies. But orrin hatch defended the law and his role in writing it. Anyone who claims that i or anyone else steam rolled the dea on this bill seetheris either ignorant or woefully uninformed. California democrat said when she met with the acting head of thed the bill would not negatively impact their work. Tom marino going to be the drug czar. Hes going to do a great job.

Im very disappointed in mitch. Reporter now a man of the hour. We have the same agenda. Weve been friends and acquaintances for a long time. Reporter the commander in chief was also asked why he with held Public Comment on four u. S. Soldiers killed in a u. S. Ambush. The president said letters will soon be sent to the families. He then said this about his predecessor. If you look at president obama and other president s most of them didnt make calls, a lot of them didnt make calls. Reporter officials for president s obama, george w. Bush and clinton told cbs all three made call to families of the fallen. The attorney general tweeted stop the damn lying. Youre the president. White House Press Secretary said last night the prt, quote, wasnt criticizing predecessors but stating a fact. Sanders said theyve used various methods and the point the president was trying to make is not every predecessor called every grieving military family. All right. Thank you very much.

The Arizona Republican made the remarks yesterday during his acceptance speech for the liberty award which honors a lifetime of service and sacrifice. Former Vice President joe biden presented the award in philadelphia. To fear the world weve organized and led the three quarters of a century to abandon the ideals we have advanced around the globe, and our duty to remain the last best hope of earth, for the sake of some half baked spurious nationalism, cooked up by people who would rather find scapegoats than solve problems and that appeared aimed at President Trump.
