take place in new jersey, right? i wasn't going to apologize. i wasn't going to apologize. >> donald trump continues to cite newspaper arls and video clips of the 9/11 coverage. none of them show a large celebration. the unitedations climate conference entered day three this morning in paris. cars and trucks produced one-fifth of all air pollution in the u.s. mark phillips recently took a drive around oslo, norway, where the government induced a series of incentives. they make what's good for the planet good for the consumer. mark is back in london with more of his series, "the climate diaries." mark, good morning. >> good morning. what if you could buy a car that produces zero emissions and the fuel, the parking and the driving is basically free. there is such a country and it's norway, the electric car capital of the world. it's not too good to be true, it just takes the will and the money.

of oslo. look closer. a lot of these cars have brats that start with the letter "e" for electric. in norway a quarter of all new cars sold are electric. 70% of those pure plug-ins, not hybrids. and that's not just because the norwegians aren't environmentally responsible people, it's because here it pays to go electric. in fact you'd be crazy not to. ask lee halvorsen, he's crunched the number. >> this car will be for free. >> for free? it's hard to get a better deal than free. >> reporter: owning the car will be free because of a hugely attractive set of government funded incentives. for a start, leif will pay no sales tax on it, a whopping 25%. then he'll pay for registration fee to get it on the road. the electricity to charge it up is free at government-funded

so many of them that the cars range somewhere between 100 and 150 miles per charge becomes almost a nonissue. and once on the road, all tolls are free, as are ferry and bridge charges. and anita veborg will tell you there's another benefit n her car she can drive in the bus and taxi lanes to avoid traffic. >> i can save up to an hour if it's really bad actually. >> there's traffic all over the road but you have your very own lane here. >> that's quite right. that's right. >> reporter: she bear lowarely gives a thought to all those guys in their gas guzzlers stuck in the slow lane. >> you don't feel guilty? >> i don't feel guilty. i'm doing something good. we're driving and i'm not polluting. so that's good. >> reporter: anita has another trick. when she plugs in at home, her power comes from solar panels

more free power. if you're put off by that old idea that electric cars are from the golf cart and not the vroom school of motoring -- >> this thing really goes. >> reporter: take a ride in this tesla. it's pricey, but no more so than any other set of hot wheels. >> the power of this car is amazing. i can't afford to buy a petrol car with this performance. >> reporter: what's happened here in norway has become the perfect electrical storm. a mix of spectacularly generous tax breaks, of special driving privileges and of electric cars that finally drive like cars. in fact this has all been so successful, the norwegian government is looking for ways to put the brakes on it. lars lunda is the deputy minister of the environment. >> the benefits -- >> you were anticipating 45, 50,

>> we have to go to 100% in the coming years. our target is actually that. >> reporter: getting to 100% may still be a dream, but the norwegian experiment has proved one thing. if you build them and make it worth their while, they will come. and if you say yeah, but they still have to burn fossil fuels to generate the electrical power that charges the cars, well, not in norway. almost all of the electric power there comes from clean, renewable hydro. some places have the will, the money and all the luck. christine. >> mark phillips in london, thank you. mark's series "the climate diaries" continues tomorrow from scotland. he'll show us how clean power is coming from under the waves. that's tomorrow on "cbs this morning." this morning cbs news is remembering an accomplished producer and beloved colleague. harry radliffe died after a long battle with colon cancer.

and went on to cover stories all over the world. he reported on terrorism, the middle east and the chernobyl nuclear disaster. in 1986 harry radliffe became the first african-american bureau chief for cbs news. he led the london bureau. he contributed nearly 100 stories to "60 minutes." he earned a peabody award, televisions's highest honor. on "60 minutes overtime" he remembered his favorite story, a visit to monastery, and he discussed what he loved most about his job. >> our experience was so unusual, it's one of the most interesting places i've ever been. i've just always been curious about the world. you know, to go off with a camera and be able to come back with a story that you put togeth and show it to people, i mean what's not cool about that?

executive producer called radliffe an essential part of our lives, our broadcast and our entire news organization. we will miss him very much. >> he really loved his job and he was very well loved and respected here. >> a great gentleman and a huge heart. >> it's so great, he says what's better than that, to be able to do this, and i think of that all the time. >> and the kinds of stories people choose for "60 minutes" says something about their own humanness and theirself. >> absolutely. well, covering tough topics as well and this one certainly is. journalists took on the roman catholic church and exposed its darkest secrets. mark ruffalo is here in studio 57 this morning along with the

it's called a rigged economy, and this is how it works. most new wealth flows to the top 1%. it's a system held in place by corrupt politics where wall street banks and billionaires buy elections. my campaign is powered by over a million small contributions, people like you who want to fight back. the truth is you can't change a corrupt system by taking its money. i'm bernie sanders. i approve this message.

a recent survey shows the average worker, listen to this -- spends about six hours a day checking e-mails! one of the most e-mailed stories this week on "the new york times" website is called "addted to distraction." the author, tony schwartz, says too much internet is making it hard for us to focus! the web, in his words, has arguably replaced work, itself, as our most socially sanctioned addiction. he is founder and ceo of the energy project and he joins us here at the table this morning. welcome. >> thank you very much. >> so howow exactly is the internet interfering with our attention span? >> you get good at whatever you do frequently o better at and if what you're constantly doing is interrupting yourself and

and has bit waited to is interrupting youelf and that is happening. internet isn't going away and a lot of value in it. the problem is anything even a virtue overused eventually becomes a liability and when you lose control of your own attention, when you feel pulled into the world of all that is available on the internet, it begins to have some pretty insidious impacted on your brain. >> i was surprised there was an issue for you considering what you do. you start the article saying you're reading a book and kept reading the same paragraph over and over again. how do you know, a, it wasn't a good book, and h does that mean you have a distraction problem. >> i love books and even bad books, historically, have drawn me in! i don't remember what book i wa't reading but inow reading is something i can do relevava easily. it is surprising it happened to me because i'm a lifelong reader. even as i read, i had that hunger. all three of you have your smartphone sitting here right in

>> when you go to break, your instinct is to go for it immediately and what we don't realize is that that is taking a toll on our ability both to hold memories, to retain memories, retain information over time, and it's also making us more and more distractible, because it's what we are e ing all the time. >> do neuroscientist confirm this? >> yes. there is really comfortable evidence the working memory, we know, is very, very limited. the stuff that comes io your brain immediately, there is only a limited amount you can hold in there and it's not held there for very long. if it doesn't transf down deeper into the campus, i'm talking neurologically, if it doesn't transfer deeply it won't be retained and we have reached a limit where that memory can be withhole. powering water from a fauscet

getting spilled out. >> you say multitasking we shld stop doing it. no difference from a 50-year-old brain and 13-year-old brain. >> a 13 said, you don't get it, mom or dad, i do it d@fferently thanou do! doesn't realize all they do is shift tasks more quickly than you do, but while they are doing one task, they are not doing another! the result is, the brain ic incapable of doing twoognitive tasks at the same time, that you are more -- you get more depth and you get more value from doing one thing at a time seseentially rather than multiple things at the time switching back and forth between them. >> that is a problem. what is the cure? >> i found three or four things, after spending a month this summer testing myself. >> we have time for two. >> testing myself by staying o off the internet. right. number one, take certain periods during the day where you're not online. turn it off for selected periodk. don't assume that you can resist

number two, take an occasional digital-free weekend or a week when you're on vacation where you actually do goff and you're in detox. that's what i did. i ended up b bng able to read, not only that bookxt on "cbs this morning." it's easy to love your laxative when that lax loves your body ck. only miralax hydrates, eases and softens to unblock naturally, so you have peace of mind from start to finish.

monsantos ceo is at the table with us. pleased to have you. >> thanks for having me. >> you know the concern for this. polls show people and citizens across the country are concerned. for those who see that concern or express that concern, how do you prove them otherwise and what is it exactly that you believe? >> well, we are, as you know, we are an agricultural company and we sell seeds to farmers to make harvest and those harvest end up on plates around the world. genetically modified organicisms, next year is the 20th anniversary. billions of acres and trill i don't know those of portions of food and probably the most studied food production in history. i feel confident about the safety but, as you say, because of this, you know, the continued concern, we probably shovld do a better job and dialogue. >> you mean more transparency?

>> i think more conversation. i think part of the challenge, there is such misinformation on where food comes from. >> what is the misinformation? >> p%ople between what arrives on a plate and what farmers do to -- so far, 2% of the country feeds 98%. so i think for companies like mine, we have got our work cut out in explaining what agriculture is and where food comes from. >> are you in favor of mandatory labeling? >> i'm in favor of some federal standards, so i'm -- i think a broad umbrella in labeling that is based on science, and based on facts. and i welcome -- my concern,

labeling debate so far is organic. if you look today at the organic food standard, i would be -- i'd be in favor of. >> to charlie's point about transparency transparency, yourompany spent over $ $million to defeat a balloting in two states. if you're for transparency, why spend so muchh money to make sure it doesn't happen? >> a deep concern we endnd up with a patch work quilt of state-by-state regulations where you end up in a place where you can't move a can of soup from one state to the otr. you talk to the food manufactcter -- we have a seed company. when you talk to the food manufacturers, the concern is how do you move food between states? so if you fast forward, we h he been at this foror 20 years. you think forward and think of the food curity and challenges of climate change, these are

backet pocket. i'm concerneneif you build a patchwork state-by-state regulation we are never going to move forward sxnts consumer pays $400 to $500 more a year in their grocery bills because you get state-bybytate regulation. i like the idea something that covers the country. >> isn't it in your interest to get out in front of this? >> yeah. that's why i'm talking to you here today. >> but you've got chain restaurants likike mcdonald and 'cha chipotle. what do they doughknow? >> the real change the last couple of years i said we are a seed company. the restaurants are so far down the chain from us. i think more and more, this is alalinterconneneed, so we have been spending more time talking to the food companies and more time talking to the consumers because i think when you -- when you think of 2.5 billion -- i

years, we are going to need every tool in the box to satisfy us. >> i'm curious. i know your company des imarily with seeds. will you try the geneticive e modifiededalmon when it's out on the market? >> absolutely. >> you have no problem with that? >> no. i look forward to trying the salmon. it's not one of our products but, as i said, we going to need all of these elements for our kids and our grandkids. >> quickly. we want to talk about roundup. it's been approved in america by the epa, something that your company manufactures. but mama studies haveooked at where it's funded or conducted by your company that this chemical may actually, could cause cancer. a chemical that is in this seed. is there any sort of response to that? are we, in fact, poisoning our crops by using this roundup chemical? >> not at all. farmers depend on thiss and it's an important tool in the fight

every spring when they plant a crop, the weeds are there. they are there every spring. they need all the help they can get to combat those weeds. i feel very good about the safety of the product. it's been studied extensively for more than 40 years. if you think to the future, and how we -- there is two challenges. how do we feed the hungry world and how do we feed 9.5 billion people? number one. number two, simultaneously, how do we fight climate change? we need all of these tools and these products to help combat -- >> you promised to go carbon neutral in crop prodtion? >> we made the announcement yesterday we wilil bee carbon neutral in six short years. for our entire footprints, we will be in a position where we -- what we emit will be covered by what we consume. >> no one realistically is expecting you to think your

two o ds! okay? it could have been you. it could be me or any of us! we got to nail these scumbags and we got to show people that nobody can get awayith thisis not a priest or a cardinal or a friggin' pope! >> gosh. that movie was so good. two-time academy award nominee rk ruffalo plays rezendes who is ao at the tabl you got the script on friday and you read it and said, instantly, i'm in. you get word, mike, he is going to play you. why did you want to do it? you read it and thought was? >> i tread and thought this story had to be told. it was the right time to tell it. and that it had -- it had a particul reach at the time when "e boston globe" told the story, but -- b b we could take

culture by making a movie of it. and it just felt so honest and it leftut the salacious part of the story and went directly to the investigation. so you're allowed to enter this world and look at ts very har story in a dispassionate way. so by the end of it, you get a real moral certitite where you end up. >> reporter: when you shadowed reporting and about him? >> i found out that a gre reporter dedicates his life to his work and that is what i found out about mike rezendes. >> what was it like him shadowowg yoyo >> turn the table. >> it was turning the table. mark came right into my living room. i had never met h before.

introduction, he sits down and opens aa notebook and p pls out a pen and turns on his iphone and starts asking me questions. they were kind of personal questions. i thought, wow! this is pretty comfortable. then i thought about how many times i had done that to other people and i started too relax into it and ultimately, we had a great conversation. >> you lived through this youruelf. >> yes. >> you have a firsthand account. when you saw t t movie, were you pleased with how real it was? >> yeah. i think the movie is incredibly authentic and i think it captures the substance and spirit of what we did just incredibly well. i'm very pleased with it. i love the message that it gives about investigative reporting. about clergy sex abuse. >> i was goioi too say two stories here. one is a story about reporting and two a story about how something like this could on to long? >> i like how it keeps public attention on this which is still

>> meaning the church has not done anything or hasn't done enough? >> i think the church has tak several meaningful steps. i think most survivors willell you the church has not done enough and m me to be done. absolutely. >> to appreciate what hurt the damage and the damage has been done to the virgin islandsindividuals? >> that's right. >> a line in the movie said with one of the survivors how do you say no to god? what these priests meant to us and to our families. mark, could you talk about that for a minute, about how powerful it was and the@affect it had on these families? >> yeah. what -- coming from a catholic background, what you have to remember is that a priest is literally the direct -- the direct lineage from god to the community. and so nobody expects there to be a predator there. nobody expects there to be, like, a direct active evil.

more horrific aspects of the story, because you're destroying -- and we talk did it in the movie- you're destroying someone's faith. >> because they t tnk it's coming from god almost? >> of course! it's a direct manifestation of god. if you're a catholic, the priest is a direct manifestation of god. they are almost infallible. >> the victims are coming from affluent communities. r somebody to pay attention to them like that, of course, they are drawn into it. >> the predators, they looked on the margins. they were like a wolf waiting for aame sheep. they looked for children who didn have father figures, who were vulnerable who they knew would not speak out. the reason that it's boys are predominantly the ones molestete not a preference from boyses but boys are most easily victimized. they don't speak out. they are ashamed.

are predats and they fit in m.o. they were predators. >> did it change how you felt about your religion, mike, when you were reporting the story and working on? >> even though i was aapsed catholic at the me, i still considered myself a catholic and i still identified catholic. and it did change how i felt about the church, no question about it. just the wall of s secrecy and the lies about these terrible things that had taken place, it did affect me, of course. >> thank you both. i wish we had more time. >> oh, yeah. >> such a f ftastic movie "spotlight" is in theaters right

for news anyime if you're doing everytng right but fi it harder and harder to get by, you'r'rnot alone. while our people work nger hours for lower wages, almost all new income goes to the top 1%. my plan -- make wall street banks and the ultrarich pay their fair share of taxes, provide living wages for working people, ensure equal pay for women. i'm bernie sanders. i approve this message because together, we can make a political revolution and create an economy and democracy that works for all
