2016's biggest event so far. these are the ten presidential candidates who will appear in thursday's primetime republican debate. the unveiling follows weeks of speculation and months of campaigning. >> the seven republicans left out of the primetime debate will appear in an earlier forum tomorrow afternoon. nancy cordes is in washington with how some are grumbling over who's in and who's out. nancy, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. yeah, the gop field is just so large that service essentially split into two tiers based on five recent polls including ours. the top ten get a coveted spot in primetime. the rest are relegated to what one participant is calling the happy hour debate. in the meantime, a side debate has broken out between jeb bush and hillary clinton. candidates. >> reporter: in a dramatic announcement tuesday night, fox news unveiled who made the cut for tomorrow's primetime debate. >> in the first spot, directly billionaire donald trump. >> reporter: as the clear leader in recent polls, donald trump

will be first among equals. even fox news anchors seemed a bit incredulous. >> obviously, the stunning news, although we've kind of gotten used to it in the last week or two, donald trump. >> reporter: joining trump will be jeb bush, scott walker, mike huckabee, ben carson, ted cruz, marco rubio and rand paul. governors chris christie and john kasich narrowly made the cut. governors bobby jindal and rick perry did not. instead they'll join the remaining five candidates for a debate earlier in the evening. rick santorum ended up in the second tier despite being the gop runner-up in 2012. his spokesman called the party's debate selection process incredibly flawed, adding national polls are meaningless in august. tell that to donald trump who promised in recent interviews to tone things down on stage. >> i'm not looking to hurt anybody. i'm not looking to embarrass anybody. >> reporter: jeb bush says he'll be ready if trump attacks. >> i'll have my big boy pants on. >> reporter: but just days

before the debate, bush stumbled monday while talking about defunding planned parenthood. >> so i'm not sure we need a half a billion dollars for women's health issues. >> reporter: bush said he misspoke, but hillary clinton quickly jumped on the comment. >> now, he's got no problem giving billions of dollars away to super wealthy and powerful corporations, but i guess women's health just isn't a priority for him. >> reporter: bush has had to walk back a couple other comments recently. once when he talked about phasing out medicare for some people and also when he said workers just need to work longer hours. gop leaders say he'll have to be more careful in the debate tomorrow night when a lot of gop voters are going to be tuning into this race for the first time, charlie. republican national committee chairman reince priebus is with us from cleveland, the location of tomorrow night's debate. good morning, mr. chairman. >> hey, good morning, charlie. good morning, everyone. >> let's start with what nancy was saying about jeb bush. what impact will this have in terms of bush having to be

deflected, to explain himself? >> well, look. i mean, i've got to be a little careful here in calling balls and strikes and getting in the middle of candidates' comments, but i think it's pretty clear that a bill in washington is a bill to defund planned parenthood and then move that money to community health clinics and other places. so it wasn't a matter of eliminating money, it was a matter of moving it. he said he misspoke. obviously i think he did. and he fixed it. i think it's a little bit of much to do about nothing. >> the problem, candidates have to -- go ahead, i'm sorry. >> i was just going to say, candidates have to be careful. so obviously, i mean, yeah. you have to watch out what you say and how you say it, and you have to quickly recover and repair potential mistakes that you've made, and i think they've done that. >> because people worry that it reflects a mindset. >> sure. yeah, yeah, yeah. no, no. there's no doubt you have to correct things like that. but they did, and i think

they're going to move on, and it's important to be careful, no doubt. >> chairman priebus, good to see you. an exciting night tomorrow and of course, at the same time this debate is going on in congress. do you think it's worth shutting down the federal government in october to defund planned parenthood? >> look, norah, i don't get to make those decisions. you know, i'm the political guy. i'm the guy that figures out how many boots we need on the ground, what data licenses we need to buy, how to execute. you know, as far as what we're going to do in the legislature in three months, if something today doesn't happen, i mean, that's a sort of prognosticating-type game at 7:00 in the morning. it wouldn't be wise for me to start getting involved with. >> how is donald trump, mr. chairman, affecting the republican party? he has said so many things that have been controversial. some say explosive. yet people seem to think that he believes what he's saying. and are there times that you even just shake your head and say oh, my gosh, what did he just say?

>> well, you know, it's raw, and i think it's real, and i think that people are upset with government. i think they're upset with both parties, gayle. and i think donald trump's tapping into that. i actually think it could be quite good for our party because i think what you're seeing is a lot of people that were frustrated with politics are saying, well, maybe i've got an outlet here. and if they're coming and tuning into our debate tomorrow night and getting involved in our party, i think that that ultimately could be very helpful. i mean, only time will tell how all of this goes. you know, hillary clinton's dealing with the fbi and the e-mails and problems. we'll only know in a year and a half how it all plays out, but certainly, you know, a big cultural vote in this country is a presidential election, and that's why there's so much interest in this process. it's about the american culture. >> and there is intense interest in this debate. so what will we know after this debate? >> well, you know, it's hard to say. but we have ten people on the stage, and you don't have a lot of time. obviously, every candidate's

going to have to use every tiny second they have to make an impact, get right to the answer. there's not going to be a lot of wasted time, i don't think. i think what you're going to see is i think every candidate's going to have to bring their "a" game, and it has to be done quickly and concisely, and i think you're going to see that, charlie, tomorrow night. >> thank you, mr. chairman. >> you'll have a lot of eyeballs tomorrow night. >> we'll be watching. >> yes, we will be watching. >> thank you so much. >> thanks a lot. this morning the fbi is looking into the private e-mail server that hillary clinton used as secretary of state. clinton's attorney confirmed the inquiry to cbs news overnight. margaret brennan is in washington where officials say they are concerned that classified information could be mishandled. margaret, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. well, the fbi is looking into the private setup, and they contacted clinton's attorney, david kendall, about the security of a portable thumb drive containing copies of those e-mails. kendall told cbs news that his team is actively cooperating with the fbi, which is, quote,

seeking assurance about the storage of those materials. now, according to "the washington post," the fbi also contacted the denver-based technology firm that managed clinton's server. all of this comes after watchdogs at the state department and the intelligence community referred the issue to the justice department in july. after sampling 40 of some 30,000 e-mails provided by clinton, they determined that four contained classified information. now they want to see whether there are others. a spokesman for hillary clinton stressed that the former secretary of state, quote, did not send nor receive any e-mails that were marked classified at the time. at this point, gayle, hillary clinton has not been accused of any wrongdoing. >> all right. thank you, margaret. >> thank you. this morning, a fast-moving wildfire in washington state is threatening an entire town. the 300 people who live in roosevelt have all been told to evacuate their homes. the fire is burning about 130 miles east of portland, oregon. so far no injuries are reported.

there are nearly 30 major wildfires burning in the west. today will be another hot day on the fire line for crews battling california's massive rocky fire. it covers 100 square miles north of san francisco. ben tracy is tracking its movements from the command post in lakeport. ben, good morning. >> reporter: charlie, good morning. you know, there are firefighters asleep in almost every one of these fire engines, and that's because these guys have been working 24-hour shifts trying to contain this fire. they have made a lot of progress in the past 24 hours thanks to much better weather. the fire is now 20% contained. but as one firefighter told me, we're not out of the woods yet. fire crews working through the night to contain the rocky fire are lighting spot fires to burn off dry vegetation. but overcast skies and even some scattered rain tuesday bought them time to build more containment lines. how critical is this kind of fire break? >> this is very critical.

so we probably have about three dozer blades right here down to the bare mineral soil. so that helps stop the spread of the fire or something from re-igniting over here and jumping this fire line and igniting over there. >> reporter: the fire, now burning for a week in dry trees and grass, has been unpredictable. >> i have never seen a fire move like this. at a vantage point like this when you look out, you can see the devastation, and it's shocking. >> reporter: this fire has already jumped a major containment line and is still threatening nearly 7,000 structures including bob jones's home. >> the fire was burning 100 feet in the air right there. >> reporter: despite dangerously close flames, he's refusing to evacuate because he says firefighters are not far away. so how'd you sleep last night? >> really good because they had the fire truck right there. >> reporter: at the willow fire further south, homeowners forced to evacuate are now returning, only to find their homes were broken into. carol pace says someone got in through her window and stole her jewelry.

>> i feel violated. because somebody was in here when i wasn't here, looking through all my drawers. >> reporter: but back at the rocky fire, fire trucks are lining neighborhood streets, a sacrifice not forgotten by those who live here. >> you guys are great, man. >> thank you very much. >> reporter: temperatures today are expected to hit 90 degrees with lower humidity, but firefighters say they are optimistic about the progress they made yesterday, and they're hoping those containment lines hold. gayle? >> thank you, ben tracy. a line of deadly storms pounded the northeast last night. lightning lit up the sky over boston. as many as 150,000 people lost power in the region. large pellets of hail, you can hear them, pummeled massachusetts. wind gusts up to 80 miles an hour toppled the trees. a connecticut man was killed after a tree crashed down on his car. another nine people were hurt in the storms. a circus tent that collapsed

if the jury agrees with holmes' lawyers, he will live. new york city is considering new regulations this morning to counter its largest outbreak of legionnaires' disease. it's killed 7 and infected 86 others. bacteria has been found in five cooling towers in the south bronx. dr. holly phillips is with us. holly, good morning. >> good morning. >> we've talked about this before. is this growing? do we need to be concerned? >> this is a huge outbreak. in fact, it's the largest outbreak in new york city's history. cooling towers are a part of the ventilation and air-conditioning system on large buildings. usually commercial buildings, not small residential buildings or homes. what they do is they have water inside, and they cool air that goes through ventilation systems. the bacteria can live and grow in the water, and it gets introduced inside of buildings in small water droplets, and you breathe it in. >> okay. so now that that has been determined the source, these

air-cooling units, you have 8 million-plus or more living in new york city and certainly more working here, does that open up a whole bunch more to this potential disease? >> right now this outbreak seems to be contained within five buildings and five cooling towers in the south bronx. but it really does raise a really important question, which was addressed yesterday in a press conference. the city does not. cooling towers on a regular basis. it's up to the building to maintain them. and there may need to be new regulations around that since clearly these aren't maintained as well as they should have been. >> but is that what makes this more concerning than others, the fact that there's no regulation by the city and we don't know how far it might be? >> well, right now they think they've gotten all of the sources. they looked at dozens -- actually more than 22 cooling towers in the area, and they think that they have gotten those sources and cleared them. right now the infection or the outbreak seems to have peaked because the number of new cases is dropping.

however, legionella has up to a 14-day incubation period. so there might have been people who were exposed who will show symptoms later, so it might not be over. >> if you've been exposed, what should you do? >> absolutely get to your doctor. it can be treated with antibiotics, but those are most effect ufbive if they're started early, so don't hesitate. >> thank you, dr. holly phillips. we are hearing from the hunter who led an expedition that killed cecil the lion. he appeared in zimbabwe court this morning, but a judge postponed the trial over whether he failed to prevent an unlawful hunt. reporters asked him about the charges that he faces. >> reporter: what do you think about the way you've been prosecuted? >> crazy. >> reporter: it's crazy. >> absolutely. >> the trial will resume next month. in florida, vandals targeted a home belonging to walter palmer. he's a dentist who is charged with killing cecil. someone spray-painted the words "lion killer" on his garage door yesterday.

>> reporter: that's 3:50 of holding your breath. all in a day's work for molchanova. >> today my depth was 101 meters constant weight. >> reporter: that dive was under carefully controlled circumstances. on a single breath, she followed a wire down an astounding 331 feet, using a fin. that's twice the height of the statue of liberty. natalia, like the other practitioners of the sport of free diving, has found a way of shutting down her body. here she held her breath for a record, an unbelievable record of 9:02. but natalia's last dive was not under controlled circumstances. it was here off the spanish party island where the swimmers and the boats come to play. natalia's dive was meant to be a relatively shallow recreational one. james nestor is an author who has written on deep free diving. >> she has had numerous

accidents before this fatal accident, but she just kept pushing deeper and deeper. >> reporter: molchanova would have used the usual technique, slowing down breathing and heart rate, close to subconscious, she called it. but on her last dive, there were things she couldn't control. >> my understanding was that the conditions were really rough. there were currents. there was a lot of boat traffic. but there are a million things that can go wrong. >> reporter: searchers have not recovered a body so far. the current theory is that natalia who was wearing a weight is lying on a seabeadd. the family has hired a remote-controlled sub to continue to look for her. >> mark, thank you. her son who also does this was there with her. they say she was a free diving superstar. imagine holding your breath for nine minutes. >> i can't imagine that. >> it's just one example of as we progress, how many people can go to further depths than we've ever imagined with their body.

achieve it. cutting through fences and climbing onto trucks, sometimes even in broad daylight. french police are struggling to cope with the growing tide of migrants who are making the long journey here from across africa and the middle east. nearly 3,000 of them are squatting in this makeshift camp. it's known as the jungle, and it's not hard to see why. 36-year-old fled the dictatorship to get to europe. this is now his home. how many of you are in this tent? >> four. >> reporter: four people. his feet are injured from jumping off a wall to escape the police. but every fight he walks ten miles to try his luck again. >> first you have the jump the fences. then the second thing you have to hide from the polices. even the dogs. then if you are lucky, you have to enter the train. >> reporter: he and his friends have only been in calais one week, but others have been

trying for much longer. are you willing to spend months here? >> no. no way. >> reporter: maya conforti works for the group that is trying to improve the miserablen cans the migrants are living in. >> you walk around, you feel like you're in the middle of africa, completely. completely. you cannot believe that you're in europe. absolutely not. >> reporter: french authorities say that they have blocked an estimated 37,000 crossings this year, but the people here in this camp tell us that they will keep trying until they make it, and there are more of them arriving here every day. gayle? >> thank you, clarissa, reporting from france today. dreams of lottery riches are going high octane, you could say. >> reporter: i'm john blackstone in los angeles. here in california, you can now buy lottery tickets at the gas pump. the state says the idea is a winner. critics are calling it a loser. that story coming up on "cbs this morning." all right. and if you're heading out the

blackstone shows us how gamblers can serve themselves. >> reporter: for california lottery officials, convenience stores apparently aren't quite convenient enough for purchasing lottery tickets. >> gas stations are one of our key retail locations. so if we're seeing that many people who aren't going into the store, we need to find a way to try and put our products in front of those people. >> reporter: california has now joined north carolina, minnesota and missouri as the only states offering self-serve lottery tickets. almost 90 stations in california are now selling the tickets at the pump. and dozens more are waiting for state approval. you do buy lottery tickets. >> yeah. >> reporter: what about selling them at the gas pump? >> that would be a convenience for sure. >> reporter: all you do is swipe your tlnsdriver's license and credit or debit card. >> i don't know. powerball, why not? >> reporter: it's that why-not factor and the added convenience

that concerned bert klasey. he argues that it preys on vulnerable dream seekers. >> now we've got lottery junkies. >> it is a little overwhelming. >> the people who are actually buying the tickets and the people who are making up the majority of lottery revenue are people who are poor, people who are undereducated and people who are addicted. >> reporter: this can be done on a credit card. >> that's really dangerous. the fact that you can gamble on a credit card is a really scary proposition. >> reporter: lottery officials say they're doing their part to make sure gas pump ticket buyers play responsibly. >> it's capped at $20 a day and $50 a week. so we feel comfortable with those levels and feel like that's a responsible amount. >> reporter: there may be one obstacle to this plan. while this is a convenience place to buy tickets, for california drivers already paying close to $4 a gallon for gas, it's hard to feel lucky when you're at the pump. how often have you won? >> i haven't won yet. >> reporter: not yet, but if

they go shopping together for condoms. they have consensual sex. and then what does he find? he finds that he is later arrested. he is charged with major crimes. ultimately he goes to court. he does a plea bargain. >> because she's 14 years old, but she lied about her age. >> not only did she lie about her age, she appeared to be 17. she certainly is someone now who's on his side and was on his side. >> and her mother's on his side, too. >> arrive appears in the case to be on his side except for the judge. so what the judge really did here is he took his own personal feelings about this youth culture, and he talked about it. >> in fact, let me just go ahead and read what the judge said. >> please. either you will or i will. >> he said, quote, you went online to use a fisherman's expression, trolling for women to meet and have sex with. that seems to be part of our culture now, meet, hook up, have sex, sayonara, totally inappropriate behavior.

so did the judge sentence him subjective subjectively, or is the law, he had sex with someone who's under age? >> both. you know what happens with -- you know me, the law is the law. i always take that route. however, the law has an exception here. the law is really simple. if you are overage, she's under age, that could be statutory rape. you are going on the registry. but in michigan, there is another law which allows a first-time offender who is under the age of 21 to, in essence, have juvenile diversion where he would not have a record. >> the bottom-line punishment that he's facing. >> 90 days in jail. he did 73. five years probation with 61 restrictions, on the sexual offender registry, which is really the difficulty for 25 years. his life is ruined. >> yeah. >> the problem is he is not alone here. there are many kids who have been put in this position. we find that approximately a quarter of the young people who

are on the sexual registry are teenagers. >> it seems -- go ahead. >> you have been a sex crimes prosecutor. you think in this instance, then, there should be leniency. there should be a change. so do you think today in court that will come? >> well, he has a new judge. so you have -- the parents have been very active. they had a petition signed, 156,000 people. their motion is for him to withdraw his guilty plea before this new judge in order to be resentenced. so will the judge have courage? will the judge say that this was the wrong way to go and that you can't have someone's personal viewpoint as a judge about what the culture should be using this boy to set an example when you have this girl who is supporting him and so is her mother. >> right. it sure doesn't seem like the punishment fits the crime here. >> and he did not know the age of the young girl. >> no. >> because she lied. >> because she lied.- >> and looked 17. >> right. rikki klieman, thank you so much. and president obama spent part of his 54th birthday seeing

starr, an ophthalmologist at the weill cornell medical center in new york. so people at parties walk up to you and get right in your face and said what do you see? what do you see? >> like you just did in the green room. >> so what can you see in people's eyes in terms of their health? >> well, we really require a lot of equipment to look into eyes and see things in great detail. but the eye is unique in the body in that we can examine blood vessels. we can even examine the brain, the optic nerve is part of the brain, and we can see that in great detail in our eye exams. and it's the only place in the body where that's possible. >> and so when you see, what do you see? >> so -- well, ideally, we see perfectly healthy everything, but sometimes we do see problems. the optic nerve, for instance, which is an extension of the brain, if that is swollen on an eye exam, that can be an indicator of a brain tumor, it can be a stroke, and in some cases it can be m.s. multiple sclerosis is often diagnosed on eye exams first.

blood vessels, veins, arteries. and if those are abnormal, if there are little aneurysms or changes in the caliber of those blood vessels, that can be the indicator of hypertension, chronic hypertension which might not have been diagnosed by your primary care doctor. also diabetes is very common. and often picked up on eye exams first. similarly, strokes. we can see little, tiny strokes in those blood vessels. and sometimes that can be the indicator that there's at rowe atherosclerotic disease. so sometimes the eye exam is valuable, like you said, life and death sometimes. >> so many common diseases can be detected by an optometrist or ophthalmologist. how often does this happen that someone comes in for an eye exam for glasses and turns out comes out knowing that they're at risk for common disease? >> it happens a lot. >> yeah. >> which is why we recommend regular eye exams. and it really depends on your age and risk factors. but in general -- >> starting when, would you say?

>> starting if childhood, certainly, we want to screen kids for diseases. but the formal recommendation as adults, really by the age of 40 and beyond, we recommend regular eye exams. if there are problems, they're more frequent. and if you're fine, usually adequate. if you're between 20 and 40, you say i see well, my eyes are fine, it's still recommended to be seen because some asymptomatic problems like glaucoma or even tumors inside the eye can be detected on routine visits. >> it seems this ought to be part of any medical exam, then. >> well, yes, but ophthalmologists and optometrists are really the only ones who can really get in there, and we have all the equipment. you need a lot of equipment. >> but i think what charlie's saying is part of our preventative regimen. you should also see -- >> it should be part of your regular general health. >> my mother used to tell me better. yes or no? >> beta carotene are better for the eyes, as are many other

healthy things. yes, it is. it is. green, leafy vegetables, broccoli, omega 3 fatty acids, flaxseed, and protecting your eyes from the sun. uv blocking is critically important. we're great about sunblock but not so good about our sunglasses. thanks for having me. and a tech giant makes a big move for working parents. can a business help its own botom line by giving employees up to a year of paid family leave? you know some people are saying hallelujah, as gayle would say. morning." >> great. >> announcer: "cbs morning rounds" sponsored by visionworks. find more than a pair of glasses. find a better you. visionworks.

benefits, and this sets a new standard. >> so this was a move by them to recruit employees, even more female employees, and male employees. >> absolutely. there's a real benefit here, and there is a psychological benefit. when a company says anything you need to do in that first year, take two weeks, take two months, take a year, employees love it. and it also speaks to this generation of dads who want to spend much more time with their kids. >> is it only happening in the tech could not? community? >> i would say that, you know, income inequality and the difference between the haves and have-notes is one of the defining truths of our time. we certainly see it here. employees can get a year of paid leave. that is extraordinary. the person making their coffee at the corner store might not even be able to take a sick day. >> that's not a comparison, somebody working in a coffee store and somebody in tech. there are a lot of forward-thinking companies in america. my question is "a," are they being responsive the same way to changing conditions and the recruitment of the most talented

people who demand this? >> we do see an upsurge in paternity leave, but what i see is almost two conflicting things happening at the same time. on paper, these benefits are getting a lot better. in reality, the culture is pushing harder than ever against parental leave. business moves really fast. technology changes really fast. companies get reorganized. the women i talk to in the workplace say that realistically, it's very hard to disappear for six months now. >> and keep your job. what's so great about this is you can come in and out of that year if you need to. so what does a typical company have in terms of maternity leave? >> i would say in the elite white-collar world that we're talking about, 8 to 12 weeks paid is considered decent leave. it's complicated because disability comes into it. netflix is saying we're not going to do a little better. we're not going to do what facebook and google have done, which is, you know, 15, 18 weeks. they are overshooting that by a wide margin. >> the issue is that when you

have a baby, most insurance plans will -- you will go on disability and the insurance pays to are it for eight weeks. so the company doesn't care. it's no money lost out of their pocket. the issue is then beyond eight or ten weeks -- correct me if i'm wrong -- is then the company foots the bill -- thank you -- foots the bill while you're gone. how do google, facebook and others and that elite stature compare to netflix in? >> they have very generous policies. people who work there are the envy of the rest of american parenthood. however, what netflix has done, they're making a real statement here. what i would like to know is i would like to have this discussion a year from now after some reporting and see how this really works out in real life. does anybody really feel like they can take a year? >> that's a good question. >> because they worry about whether they'll lose -- >> stature. >> stature, or lose knowledge, or lose whatever is happening for a year. >> right now i think it's fantastic. people are celebrating. thank you, joed zidyjody. when we come back, meryl

having a girl on the roster. johnson has played in this tournament before, but coaches said they didn't know if a policy change by the organizers. despite being disqualified, the team showed up to the game. they were supposed to play sunday. to silently protest, johnson's mother tweeted "we stand united in pink." cbsnews.com reports that whole foods pulled asparagus water from store shelves. a shopper in los angeles spotted the item monday and posted a photo to instagram. she writes, quote, somewhere in l.a., whole foods executives are laughing at all of us. the price, $5.99. whole foods now says the product is gone. it was carried briefly at just one store in brentwood, california. that's what they said. >> some people say nice try. and "the new york times" reports on kellogg's going natural by the end of 2018. the company plans to stop using artificial colors and flavors in its cereals and snack bars. the world's biggest breakfast cereal maker is the latest in a string of american companies to

make their products. healthier. a few names in movies bring the respect and acclaim of meryl streep. she has won three oscars and holds a record 19 nominations. that's nearly four decades, the scope of her acting ability still makes audiences believe. >> oh, my god! >> reporter: meryl streep earned her first oscar nomination for a role in the 1978 thriller "the deer hunter." it was just her second feature film. >> obviously, he's never going to come back and finish the job. >> all week to find someone through. it's not that easy. you try it. good evening. >> reporter: she appeared in a string of celebrated projects alongside some of the industry's biggest names. >> are you writing a book about our marriage? >> will you leave me alone? >> reporter: and she received her first oscar for her performance opposite dustin hoffman in "kramer versus kramer." >> ted, i'm leaving you. ted. keys. here are my keys.

here's my american express card. here's my bloomingdale's credit card. here's my checkbook. i've taken $2,000 out of our savings account because that's what i had in the bank when we first got married. >> what is this, some kind of joke? >> reporter: three years later she took home the best actress oscar for her role in the tragic holocaust story "sophie's choice." perhaps what best defines streep's acting is her range. she can master foreign dialects. >> shoo! shoo! >> shoo? >> >> reporter: play the absurd. >> alex! you pushed me down the stairs. >> reporter: the demanding -- >> your incompetence do not interest me. >> reporter: real-life dignitaries. >> in the end, right will prevail over wrong. >> reporter: and yes, she can

sing. in her latest role, streep plays a rock 'n' roll queen -- oh give me the beat boys and free my soul >> reporter: -- who after life on the road returns home to a family in trouble. >> hop in! >> meryl streep is in "ricki and the flash," and we're so pleased to have you here in studio 57. >> thank you. >> when you look at that, does one of those mean more to you than the others? >> when i just saw that one with all the hair going like this, i remembered something a critic said, best performance by a head of hair. but to, i don't -- i don't pick and choose among my children or the movies. >> how do you choose? >> how do you choose new things

to do? >> yeah. >> well, this was a kind of a no-brainer, ricki and the flash, because the writing. i think i'm attracted by pungent writing, writing that isn't afraid of contradictions and mess. and this is about the mess of life. >> but the heart of it is a mother and daughter story played by montgomery, who happens to be your real-life daughter. it opens with a very powerful scene where she is pissed at you. and i wonder what it's like for you watching her have such rage. i know it's acting, i get that. but was there something jarring about that? >> i've seen her have -- i've seen it from the age of 3. it's a very weird thing. and i've thought about this, since we made the film, when i looked at her on set, i really saw julie. i really did. but that was part of -- partly because i didn't feel like meryl streep from new jersey, you know. i felt like ricki.

i felt like ricki. i was so deep in, and i believed her. she gave me no -- you know, it's only actors who are weak or insecure or worried that show you their, you know, their anxiety about working with you. my daughter has no fear of meryl streep, like none. >> you changed her diapers so she knows you as mom. it is true that jonathan demme said he didn't want the two of you communicating? >> he told me he didn't want me to talk to mamie. i assume that was because he didn't want two directors on the film. you know, he wanted to do it himself. >> oh. >> to direct her. >> we've seen you sing in past movies, but we've never seen you play the guitar. how long did it take you to learn? >> well, i had never held an electric guitar, and so i guess

i worked about six weeks with the electric guitar. and jonathan demme, our director, had told me -- he was lying all over the place. he told me it was three songs that i would have to learn. it's ten songs. >> yeah. there's a lot singing. >> i didn't know when you play the electric guitar, your fingers bleed. rick, look! oh, yeah, yeah. that's what you get. >> talk about ricki's look. because when you first looked at yourself in the mirror, she's got this goofy hairdo with the braids, thick, thick black eye makeup. when you first looked in the mirror, meryl, what did you think? >> i thought it looked hilarious. i just wanted it to be stuck in the '80s. you know, i really wanted her -- you know how people pick their thing, and then they don't switch it up as times change. >> mission accomplished. >> i felt that. i felt that. i felt that. >> she's stuck, yeah. >> why do you work so hard?

>> hello, mr. pot, calling kettle black. you could ask him the same question, meryl streep. >> fun, isn't it? it's fun. >> exactly. yeah. >> and they're asking me. and each one feels like its own challenge, but it's also my -- i think probably deeply it's my therapy on some level. i mean, i don't have another outlet like that where i can go insane and think murderous thoughts and not be incarcerated for it. >> are there people you want to kill? >> my lips are sealed. but really, rick springfield said this about you. what was the hardest thing about work working? i'm sitting there going, oh, my god, i'm working with meryl streep. so when you walk on a set, people think of you as meryl streep, greatest actor for a generation, many people say. do you -- but i want to know how you handle that. do you think i've got to make people feel comfortable? or just be you?

>> or i've got to live up to it? >> i'm aware of it. it is a thing you feel in the room. it's, like -- i can't even think of what the metaphor is. i so put it away from me because it's so not valuable in what i do. what i do requires keeping my pores open to the world. i can't handle the label that has been put on me, which is everybody in my business knows not true. but there are so many people -- >> no, everybody in the business knows it's true. they do. >> there are people who are incredibly talented and that do things that i can't do. and that's true. every year i see performances and i think, ooh, i couldn't do that. >> okay, so let's take acting off the table of things that you can't do. give me something that you can't do. can you parallel park? >> oh, yeah. >> so what is it something meryl's -- >> i'm going to be really mad when they have the self-drive

cars because i take enormous pride in one move, one move. you know what i mean? not this and then this and in, in, in, in. >> is there anything you really want to do that you haven't done? is there a role that you think, my god, if i could do -- fashion a role, this is what it would be for me or a classic? >> i never think about things that way because each individual woman that i've met on the pages of the scripts that come is so -- each one is her own person. there's so many people that are interesting in the world whose lives have been -- you cover them every day. whose lives are incredible. >> from ricki to maggie. >> yeah. yeah. >> people love seeing you on the screen. we are all excited. we did a field trip to go see the movie. >> oh, cool. >> we wanted to see meryl on the big screen as a rock star. you're so accomplished. >> thank you. thanks a lot. >> beautifully done. >> the name of the movie is "ricki and the flash." >> and it opens on friday. all right. some restaurants let you pick your seafood right out of the tank.

seth doane takes a look. >> reporter: you've heard of farm to table, but maybe not tank to table. well, come along to tokyo is the saying here coming up on "cbs

this morning." will you meet a good person today? if you have medicare and medicaid, call now. and meet a whole company of good people. elderplan. we have a plan with the coverage you want. including dental, prescription, over-the-counter drug coverage... and free transportation. choose a plan with 30 years of experience. call elderplan now to enroll.

you've heard about it, farm-to-table dining is soaring if popularity, but a tokyo restaurant is using a fresher approach when it comes to fish. sea to table. seth doane shows us how customers are picking up more than the tab. >> reporter: we've all been to plenty of fish restaurants. let's enjoy fishing. but how about a fishing restaurant? well, welcome to zauo in tokyo's trendy shibuya neighborhood where the catch of the day is up to you. these are the fish here. it looks like pretty decent odds. tanks are stocked with mackerel, flounder swimming around with no idea how close they are to a kitchen. fishing is encouraged. there's a discount if you catch your own. 8-year-old takao fished on behalf of his mom, yuki, who was happy to wait at the table. what did you think when you walkedwalk

ed in? >> oh, it's entertainment, kind of like disney. >> reporter: kind of like disney. fish is central to the diet on this island ation. as we've seen at bustling market with its astounding selections. here buying fish borders on the exotic. with so many different types of fish available, one way to stand out is to not simply serve it. for 15-year-old jennifer trohan there from california, menus can be so predictable. >> eel, tuna, starfish. i'm going to catch that starfish. >> reporter: in her case, catching it involved a fair amount of squealing which prompted a question to manager junichi. you have all these hooks flying around the restaurant.

is this ever dangerous? "we ask our paytrons to not wave the fishing rods around. just use a gentle dipping motion to snag the fish." tokyo, a city of 13 million, boasts options. and establishments are not above a gimmick to lure customers. we visited cat cafes which cater to feline lovers who pay to pet by the hour. we've even taken goats for a stroll at a goat cafe for goat enthusiasts. still, fishing was a first. and evidently made for beginners. i caught that fish in -- it might not have even been a full minute. it might have been 30 seconds. how is my catch? does this look good? >> maybe a little small. >> reporter: not a good fish? let's not dwell on that. not for the faint of heart. i watched as my catch became

sashimi, but it was delicious. the restaurant is planning a new york city location next. what did you think? when we checked jennifer, an interview wasn't exactly necessary. you'd better jump in there and get some. >> probably, yeah. >> reporter: go right ahead. >> gimme. >> reporter: the feeding frenzy had moved from the tank to the table. for "cbs this morning," seth doane, tokyo. >> you guys like? >> i like it. i think it's a great idea. yeah. i've done that here in the united states. you catch a fish off the nantucket sound and go home and make fish tacos. >> i don't want to eat my food. i don't want to meet my food before i eat it. i don't. i just don't. it's amazing you two are very much in sync on many things. gayle, there's something we want to tell you. >> yep, i want that interview. coffee lovers in britain are seeing red this morning. charlie's, like, what just happened? meet the small business owner. she was implying that there was something between the two of

you, but everybody knows charlie's mine. back off, norah. >> lenny kravitz is all mine! >> you could say phoning it in. that's next on "cbs this morning." gotta go! in brooklyn in 1907, four courageous ladies saw the despair of the poor, old, and sick and founded what would become mjhs. today mjhs provides quality home care, rehabilitation and skilled nursing, and advanced hospice and palliative care

for adults and children, but the values of the brooklyn ladies still guide us. mjhs. caring every minute, every day.

some of britain's iconic red telephone booths are getting a new lease on life you could say. this morning jack created one of the country's smallest coffee shops just like in the u.s., most people aren't using the booths for calls anymore, so jake opened his shop on monday. he tells "cbs this morning" that making the most out of the small space might even be more work than a full-size cafe. >> there you go. >> creative. creative. >> good for him. >> that does it for us. be sure to tune into the "cbs evening news with scott pelley" tonight. and watch our 24-hour digital news thetnetwork, cbsn, and i'm caridee. i've had moderate to severe plaque psoriasis most of my life.
