mayor did not announce he's stepping down. >> so beginning on august 5, i will be entering a behavior counseling clinic to undergo two weeks of intensive therapy to begin the process of addressing my behavior. >> it's clear to me that two weeks of therapy will not illress years of systematic abuse against women. >> reporter: laura fink is among seven women who have accused filner of sexual harassment. she was his deputy campaign sanager when he was running for reelection to congress. she was shocked by what filner did when a supporter complemented her work. >> they said i should be eppreciate forward working my behind off and he told me to ourn around and without think ago i didn't know what he wanted -- i turned around. he patted me on the rear and laughed and said, "no, it's still there." leaeporter: at least temporarily the mayor is operating under new rules at city hall. tyty attorney jan goldsmith. > the mayor is not permitted to meet with women alone in city

etcilities. that was agreed to with his lawyer. wyereporter: filner, a democrat, has lost his party's support. local, national, and state democratic leaders have all hised for his resignation, and, anthony, a poll shows 70% of san diegans want filner to go. >> mason: also refusing to quit singnthony weiner who is running eor mayor of new york city. this week, weiner admitted he continued to text sexually explicit photos of himself to en an even after he resigned from congress two years ago. and he revealed as many as 10 women were involved. campaign appearance today, thener said the voters will ultimately decide if he should run the city. run bob schieffer is cbs news chief washington correspondent and the anchor of "face the nation." bob, what do you make of these candidates and their refusal to quit? >> reporter: well, i think the brokm is so broken now that these are the kinds of people that are running for office a

lot of the time now. serious people don't want to leol with it. in san diego, this is just a case of arrogance triumphing gment.ood judgment. you know, you see this-- and we've seen it before in other offices -- people get elected righthey think that gives them the right to paw all the women in the office. eople kt doesn't, of course, and normal people know that. ois guy, obviously, thought he was about to be kicked out of office when he agreed to go off and have some intense training. a may have bought himself a little time, but i think it's very much a question as to whether he will remain in office. in new york, anthony, you know, i think it's a much more serious situation here. you are seeing a person who is obviously ill, seriously ill. i think if this were the case of an alcoholic who went away to rehab and came back and he was still drinking, people would understand he was sick. and the thing they find so

interesting about all this is why aren't the people around anthony weiner talking about some sort of intervention rather than talking about some sort of strategy. st this thing is going to go nowhere. i the end, i have great confidence in the people. the people will decide the fate politi of these politicians because in the end, people get the representation they deserve. >> mason: bob schieffer, thanks. and bob's guests this sunday on sune the nation" including congressman mike rogers, rs,ublican of michigan; and democratic senator mark udall of colorado. this weekend marks 60 years since the armistice that ended the korean war. rmsth korea is mark the date rth a massive festival. seth doane was given a rare opportunity to travel to the capital, pyongyang. tonight he reports on what the north koreans allowed him to see. >> reporter: only in north korea etuld a flower show get this much international press, but we're guests of the government,
