rise to antibiotic resist ant bugs. "consumer reports" spent three years searching -- 2 million get antibiotic resistant medications with 23,000 deaths. director of consumer safety and sustainability at consumer reports. good morning. >> good morning. >> first of all, how does this end up, these super bugs, end up in our meat. >> traditionally in agriculture here we feed low levels of antibiotics to healthy animals on a daily basis. and what that does is instead of antibiotic killing a bacteria like an infection, you're teasing the bacteria. some of those bacteria survive, mutate to become resistant to those antibiotics and being can killed by them. later on as the animal breed says that, shedses that, goes into manure, con tom nature the meat, if they eat those and get those infections, it makes

antibiotics more difficult to treat them. the more assist ent the bugs treat. we have 23,000 deaths a year as bugs. >> what did you find, in poultry and meat? >> we looked at ground beef, shrimp, turkey and chicken. we find high rates of super bugs, bugs resistant to three or more classes of antibiotics in all of them. we did look at samples produced with antibiotics and those produced without. in most cases you start to see significant differences in the rates of super bugs and other resist end bacteria. the good news is, there are choices on the market consumers can make. there are better farming practices that don't use these things. we use antibiotics for growth promotion and disease prevention. while that sounds good in farming, in people, we would never, for example, in schools give kids low levels of

antibiotics every day to promote their growth or prevent disease. it's ludicrous we do that in animals. >> the problem is giving it to healthy animals. >> the problem is low levels in healthy animals that tease the back tear to become more resistant. >> how do you label against this? >> the fda has some guidelines ahead for the industry saying we can't use medically important human antibiotics for growth hormone. we need farm hygiene practices to be implemented. consumers can shop for meat produced without antibiotics. raise without antibiotics is one good claim, organic, certified humane, american grass-fed certified. all of these programs are certified labeled programs with verification that are looking at all of these practices on the farm to make sure we're minimizing drug use routinely in

this morning there's an interesting battle between skiers and snowboarders. it's off the slopes and now in the courtroom. federal judges are considering whether alta ski resort in utah is violating snowboarders'

what? loveland, colorado, not far from where the case is unfolding in denver. david, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. like most ski resorts in the country, they share the mountain in loveland, snowboarders and snow skiers. the bottom line comes down to this, here's the question in this case, can a resort that leases land from the federal government say yes to people who want to snow ski but no to people who want to snowboard? as this historic footage shows, for more than 75 years, alta has promoted itself as a skier's paradise. >> enthusiastic skiers from around the globe flock to this unique resort. >> reporter: known for its deep powder and beautiful scenery, alta is one of three resorts in the u.s. that doesn't allow snowboarding. it's a policy this group of snowboarders want to change.

>> it's about access, exclusion and violates the law. >> reporter: alta leases public lands from the u.s. forest service. rich and andrew seen with their lawyer, have been snowboarding since the '80s and they're two of the four snowboarders who filed suit. they say alta skier's only policy is discriminatory and violates their constitutional rights. >> under the law, if you have a policy that excludes one group of people because you don't like that group of people, that violates the equal protection clause. >> i think part of it is, you know, that's my public land as well. they operated on public property. i feel like i have a right to go and use that mountain. >> reporter: this undercover video provided by the snowboarders involved in the case s out of control. >> you guys are the worst. i don't ever want to see a snowboarder near me. >> reporter: they contend

the people who ride them. in a statement to cbs news, the company says restrictions are a business decision, made in order to promote a unique recreational experience for their customers. they say the equipment restrictions are not about banning people. >> this doesn't have a snowball's chance. the equal protection clause is concerned about laws that treat people differently based on who they are. and it's okay, in most cases, for the government to treat people differently based on what they do. >> reporter: these snowboarders know they're likely facing an uphill battle, but they hope the legal system will give them a lift. >> it is a passion, a way of life, to be excluded from the best powder at alta and not be part of that, something is very disappointing. >> reporter: there is no word on when the federal appeals court is going to make their decision, but, norah, a judge in utah threw out the case because he said allowing the case to move

more lawsuits being filed against private companies. >> really interesting story, david. >> can't you set up two separate lanes. no? one for snowboarders and one for skiers? >> no. maybe two separate mountains but not two separate lanes. >> i don't ski. that's why i'm asking. the holiday shopping season is upon us. ahead, how to stay on budget and get your financial plan in shape before the new year. plus, a giant panda meets the public for the first time.

good morning. it is wednesday, november 18th, 2015, and welcome back to "cbs this morning." there's more real news ahead, including the new search for the mastermind of the paris terror attacks. scott pelley and elizabeth palmer are at the scene of this morning's violent police raid. but first here's a look at today's "eye opener" at 8:00. >> two suspects have been killed, about a half dozen have been arrested. >> war against terrorism. >> president francois hollande called for a large coalition to annihilate isis. >> the russian prime minister said the best way to combat isis is to unite with the west. president obama said there's one catch. first, russia has to help end

>> two air france planes bound for paris are deemed safe after bomb threats forced them to make emergency landings. >> republicans introduced legislation that would place new restrictions on the administration as it processes these refugee applications. >> the floodwater level was up to here, but it wasn't just the rain and the floodwaters, the wind was ridiculous. >> demonstrators are demanding the release of videos and the names of the officers involved. >> the 2016 election is less than a year away. according to a former republican advisor, you have thanksgiving, christmas, new year's, then iowa and a week later new hampshire, and it's going to be over in the blink of an eye. and ben carson is already halfway through that blink. i'm charlie rose with gayle king and norah o'donnell. the man accused of plotting the paris terror attacks was one of

the targets of this morning's police raid in a paris suburb. [ gunfire ] police and suspects shot at each other as the operation began before dawn. the standoff lasted for seven hours. >> we still do not know what happened to abdelhamid abaaoud, the alleged mastermind. scott pelley is at the scene in saint-denis just north of paris. scott, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. we are told that it was telephone surveillance and eyewitnesses that led police to the apartment a little after 4:00 this morning local time. elizabeth palmer has been covering the action for us. elizabeth. >> once the police s.w.a.t. teams got into position zeroing in on this apartment in a residential building, they were fired on almost immediately. a woman suicide bomber inside the apartment blew herself up and then the gun battle just amplified. terrified residents, some of them hiding under their beds for

at least an hour and a half until special forces came to rescue them. in the end, there were two killed, including the woman suicide bomber, and seven arrested, although we don't know yet whether abdelhamid abaaoud, the mastermind of the paris attacks, presumed mastermind, was among them. >> elizabeth, thanks very much. that is the big question this morning and we hope to have an answer a little bit later today. back to you, charlie. >> thanks, scott pelley and elizabeth palmer in saint-denis. last night on my pbs program the former senior correspondent said the isis attacks show how they are transforming the terrorist threat. >> in the 14 years following 9/11, terrorist groups challenged themselves. this is the failure of al qaeda. they challenged themselves to say how can you top that? what about the dirty bomb, what about the nuclear what, about

of the operation in paris was its lack of sophistication. when using bullets and bombs, rudimentary things, you can perilize a city with fear, you can have tremendous carnage and have an extraordinary impact with minimal presurveillance and cost. 9/11 cost a couple million dollars and a couple years and a half of planning. the idea of turning around a mumbai plot or "charlie hebdo" plot in a very short time for very little money is something that a light bulb has come on in the terrorist world where they're saying keep it simple and you will have more success. >> and this morning's french police raid happened about a mile from the national stadium where the terror attacks began during a soccer game between germany and france. germany's game against the netherlands last night was cancelled. officials say they got concrete evidence of a bombing plot at the stadium. police found no explosives, but

the german chancellor calls it a responsible decision. the french team returned to action last night facing england in london. the two teams took the field side by side in solidarity. many french flags were flying in the stadium. the french newspaper, l'equipe, offered gratitude for that show of support. its headline read in english, "thank you." mark attended last night's game. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. well, they're cleaning up after a night that was about a lot more than sports. several international soccer games were cancelled for security reasons, but the one here between england and france went ahead. it was more than just a game, it was a statement of defiance. you know a game is more than a game when the theme song of the night is the visiting team's anthem. and when the home stadium, wembley, the shrine of english soccer, is decorated in the

one broken up deep inside but you won't get to see the tears i cry i told you everything opened up and let you in with the pain and swelling of my moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis... ordinary objects often seemed... intimidating. doing something simple... meant enduring a lot of pain. if ra is changing your view of everyday things orencia may help. orencia works differently by targeting a source of ra early in the inflammation process. for many, orencia provides long-term relief of ra symptoms. it's helped new ra patients and those not helped enough by other treatments. do not take orencia with another biologic medicine for ra due to an increased risk of serious infection. serious side effects can occur including fatal infections. cases of lymphoma and lung cancer have been reported.

more than 32 million americans have already started the holiday shopping already. over half of the season shoppers say they don't plan to use a budget. in this morning's "eye on money" series, jill schlesinger shows us how to find ways to save this holiday season and get your finances organized for the end of the year. jill, good morning. >> good morning. >> a lot of people feel pressure and spend money they don't have which results in debt that they don't need. >> we don't want them to do that so we want them to get a budget. if you didn't put a line item in your budget at the beginning of the year, let's start now. you can also use holiday specific apps, santa's bag, christmas list, snowball. these allow you to keep track of your spending so you don't blow through your budget. don't forget to download the red laser app that helps you scan bar codes and compare when you

might be getting a better deal elsewhere. >> what about retirees, there's an important deadline at the end of the december, right? >> tell your parents, just remind them, be a gentle nudge. if you turned 70 1/2 you have to take your required minimum distribution. why? you've put money into a plan and you've got a tax deduction for it. uncle sam wants to get that tax money so you have to take a certain percentage of that retirement asset out. if you do not take your required minimum distribution, you face a 50% penalty on what you should have taken out. so please -- >> wow, 50%? >> yes. rmd very important. >> so that's like your 401(k)? >> any asset, exactly. >> and how are they communicating this to people? >> that's a great question because it used to be the onus is on us. now the brokerage companies should be telling you don't forget to take your rmd. they usually have it on their website. you don't have to take it from five different accounts, make one distribution from all of the

accounts. >> what about ways to boost our retirement. >> a lot of companies let you change your contribution level and they can go up to 50% of your pay stub. so if you got some extra cash and you want to put more money into your retirement plan, remember the limit is $18,000 this year. an extra $6,000 if you're over 50. so you might want to say to the kids you're not going to get great gifts because mommy has to put more money into her retirement plan. >> and the kids say what? we don't like retirement plans. so if you've had a major life change, like you got married, you're having a baby, what should you be doing with your financial plan? >> this is important because a lot of people have these life events and they don't alter some very important documents. those can be beneficiary designations, those can be your 401(k) designations and your life insurance. so pay attention to it and be very clear. if anything happens, what documents do i need to change. >> you always have great >> oh, thank you. jill schlesinger. coming up, chemicals in your

personal care products could be dangerous. next, how congress is trying to find a way to fix it. you're watching "cbs this morning." this morning's "eye on money" sponsored by voya financial. changing the way you think of retirement. i try hard to get a great shape.

she treats patients weekly for reactions to chemicals in products. >> i think we need to look closely at some of these ingredients because we know that at higher concentrations, they can be toxic. >> reporter: she says the biggest offenders are hair products, especially straighteners, and newer nail polishes that last more than a week, all largely unregulated. that's not the story in other countries. the europe union bans more than 1,000 chemicals from personal care products. of those, the u.s. bans 11. >> i think that the beauty industry is the last industry that has been forced to truly clean up its act. >> reporter: greg renfu said it led her to start a natural beauty care products, beauty counter. she was on capitol hill tuesday to urge congress to pass the new, tougher legislation. >> things i've been washing my babies, things i've been putting

on my body while i was pregnant, to find out those ingredient were not safe for my health was incredibly disappointing and scary. >> reporter: feinstein says she expects the bill to pass. not only are legislators are both sides of the aisle are supporting it, so, too, are the industries. beauty and nail salons, they deserve to know. >> we don't know enough about what we use. >> when you go to get your nails done, just the smell in that

fashion designer tory burch launched her company from her kitchen table in 004. today it's worth more than $3 billion, with 168 stores worldwide. her label is sold in more than 50 countries. she's not only seeing success with sales and the company's signature style. in 2009 she created the tory burch foundation to empower female entrepreneurs.

the fellows program, access to business education, mentoring and networking. participants get the opportunity to compete for $100,000. welcome back to the table. >> thnk you. >> let's first start with this. you built. incredibly successful company, but how hard was it in the beginning to be an entrepreneur. what were some of the biggest challenges? >> i would say it's hard every day. >> still is? >> it's excruciating at times. i'm passionate about it but it's one of the hardest things you can ever imagine. >> funding, money? >> in the beginning i had to figure out how to get funding. we ended up going to about 130 people. that was our initial raise. >> you told people, don't be afraid -- don't invest money you're not afraid to lose. >> i was so scared of losing friends' money, family members' money. i said, please invest but just think of it as an investment that will never come back. >> and you say the lesson now is to embrace your ambition. >> yeah.

the first article that was written on our company, a friend that i admire in business called me up and said she liked the article but i shied away from the word ambition. it was something that really stayed with me. i thought a lot about that. over the years, i've really learned to take ownership in that word and feel proud of it. >> because they never say a man, he's so ambitious. he's too ambitious. he needs to settle down. why do you think you were reluctant to embrace it? >> there's a negative connotation about women and ambition and that needs to end. more people need to stand up and say that. i see the same people profiled. that's one thing our foundation also wants to address, showing other women that are doing great things. i see the same ten women, the same profiles over and over and there are so many women doing significant things. >> what's interesting, when you started your company, though, this was a fashion company, but the same time you had philanthropy on the same track. that was part of the original

business plan. you first started doing something with bank of america, right? >> yes. bank of america happened just about a year ago -- a year and a half ago. five years ago we launched the foundation. it's part of the business plan. we knew we would have to have a successful business to be able to do it. it took us many years to be able to do that. since then we partnered with goldman on an education program and bank of america is a significant partner. and we've had really wonderful traction with them. and i just heard news yesterday that by january we will have given out $10 million in loans to female entrepreneurs in the united states. >> i know so many moms -- i have a friend in washington starting a cooking company that's gluten free. a lot of women are listening saying, i want to start my own company. how can they learn more about this fellowship to be involved to learn from you? >> toryburchfoundation.org is the best place. we are launching today. we are going to screen

then we're going to open it up to the public to vote. and then we'll narrow that down to ten people that will get a grant, that will go towards education for their business. and they can do it in any which way. one of the significant funds we have found is female entrepreneurs we work with have very little knowledge about general finance. >> you say it's not about charity, it's about empowering women. >> it's about empowering women. >> let's talk about you, empowering you. >> thank you. i could use a little empowerment. >> exactly. i'm here. >> that's what charlie does. he makes us feel good. >> every day, every day. >> i'll leave now. >> did you have a question? >> yes, i did. very hard to get one in, isn't it? >> we're ambitious. >> and i celebrate that, as you know. tell me what you want to do with this company. you're talking about a new sportswear line, but now that you have traction and success

and the foundation under way as well and you're encouraging others to do that, what does tory want for tory and for her company? >> i mean, i am so passionate about our company. i want to see the company flour ish flourish. that doesn't mean growth. it's a very tough environment so it's time to take a breath and really look at the company and look at the future and the way the environment is changing, technology taking a big play on all of our businesses. it's really how to set up the company for the future. >> and it's global. >> and it's global. >> you'll have a lot of takers for you, tory burch. wish i had a business idea, i'd be calling you.

>> we'll be right back.
