welcome to "cbs this morning." american intelligence officials say they are convinced that russian hacking of our president's election was approved by president!. sources confirmed to sources they believed putin was aware of attacks that began in july of last year. >> now an official investigation is still going on but this is the first time that the hacking that plagued the democratic national committee until election day has been linked to putin. jeff pegues is in washington with new details about the cyber attack. jeff, good morning. >> good morning. the hacks were so widespread, and sustained over such a long period of time, that u.s. intelligence sources say it could not have been carried out without knowledge of senior levels of the kremlin. cbs news has learned that investigators believe the initial cyber attack that ultimately crippled the democratic national committee involved thousands of malicious

e-mails aimed at u.s. governments, military, and political organizations. first attempts by foreign hackers to disrupt the election came in the form of malware and phishing e-mails which investigators say allowed russian-backed hacking groups to burrow into the computer apparatus of the democratic national committee. u.s. intelligence sources tell cbs news this type of cyber hacking could not have happened without vladimir putin's blessing, saying, quote the orders to do it would have had to come from the highest level. after the breach it took months for federal investigators, and dnc officials, to take action. >> the fbi called the dnc help desk. >> reporter: adam hodge is with the dnc. it took several months before the dnc realized that it had been contacted by the fbi? >> it's hard to believe but that's the reality. >> reporter: congressman nun es, the chairman of the house committee on intelligence argued lawmakers are being denied a briefing on the hacks.

we want to clarify press reports of the cia that it has a new assessment it has not shared with us. but director of national intelligence james clapper released a statement which said we will not offer any comments until the review requested by president obama is complete. republican senator lindsey graham said wednesday the feds knew who cracked his e-mails over the summer. >> we were told by the fbi, in august, they were hacked in june so they pointed us to the fact that the russians did it. yes, the russians did it. >> reporter: but president-elect donald trump has brushed off intelligence assessments, blaming the russians. >> they have no idea if it's russia or china, or somebody. >> reporter: mr. trump's doubts about russian involvements are also at odds with the obama administration. white house press secretary josh earnest accused then-candidate trump of pushing the hackers to continue their assaults. >> their involvement was having a negative impact on his opponent's campaign. that's why he was encouraging

them to keep doing it. >> reporter: in addition to damaging the prospects of the democratic national committee in the 2016 elections cycle some u.s. officials are concerned about the hacking attempts that have yet to come to light. the thousands of malicious e-mails that were initially launched may have been probing weaknesses for future cyber strikes. charlie? >> jeff, thanks. the response to putin and the russian hacking will be a key question during rex tillerson's confirmation hearing for secretary of state. this week former defense secretary and cia director robert gates endorsed tillerson's nomination. he called the exxonmobil ceo a person of great integrity. on pbs last night i asked gates about tillerson's relationship with russia's president. gates once told president george w. bush that he looked into putin's eyes and saw, quote, a stone-cold killer. so how does rex tillerson when he looks into vladimir putin's eyes, what does he see? >> i haven't asked rex that question. i would make the case that being

friendly is different than being friends. i think that rex had an understanding of what his interests were. i think he dealt in a business-like fashion with putin. i think one of the challenges facing the next president is how do you thread the needle of stopping the downward spiral in u.s./russian relations that is potentially quite dangerous, and at the same time, push back against putin's aggressiveness, bullying, and general thuggery. and having somebody who understands where putin is coming from, who knows him and knows how he negotiates, i think is a big asset. i think it's a mistake to think that because rex tillerson successfully did business in russia that he's best friends with vladimir putin. i think that's just a completely false narrative. >> what is not false is this is a very serious business. >> yeah. >> because of the revelations about putin.

michael morell was on with me and said the united states and president obama has to respond and has to respond in a very public way. including sanctions, and other means. >> and sooner rather than later. >> as we learned that president obama delayed blaming the russians publicly during the campaign, he was afraid about politicizing intelligence, even though this was known within the administration. but the repercussions that a foreign government tried to influence our elections is a serious one and there's got to be a serious response. >> and michael morell called it equivalent to a political 9/11. >> it should be whether you're a democrat or republican. this is not a partisan issue. >> and it has to happen by president obama. this is not something that can wait. >> right. >> yeah. >> because it happened on his watch. >> to be tend for sure. in a cbs news poll just out this morning americans remain deeply divided over the president-elect. 36% expect donald trump to do a poor job as president. 34% think he'll be very good or good.

the president-elect met with tech industry leaders yesterday including the ceos of apple, google, and amazon. but not twitter. mr. trump calls the platform a great form of communication. but our poll shows that 50% of americans believe that he tweets too much. nancy cordes has the highlights from the meeting yesterday. >> good morning. well they did not get a dressing-down from mr. trump the way media executives did a few weeks ago even though silicon valley leaders were largely critical of the president-elect when he was running. instead, he and they declared the meeting very productive. and he told them his door would always be open to them. >> they're going to call me, >> reporter: mr. trump's meeting with facebook's sheryl sandberg, apple's tim cook, and others lasted more than 90 minutes. the groups discussed jobs, taxes, and quote, specific

innovative solutions that have been blocked by narrow-thinking in washington. >> i won't tell you the hundreds of calls we've had asking to come to this meeting. >> reporter: it's a shift from the campaign when some of these industry leaders kept their distance from mr. trump. wikileaks revealed google's eric schmidt had been working with hillary clinton's campaign since 2014. tesla's elon musk said mr. trump is not the right guy for america. and amazon's jeff bezos publicly duelled with the president-elect. >> that's not an appropriate way for a presidential candidate to behave. >> you know it's amazon. he wants political influence, so that amazon will benefit from it. that's not right. >> reporter: twitter ceo jack dorsey was not invited to the roundtable, even though mr. trump is a famously avid tweeter. that led some to assume the trump team is still nursing a grudge after twitter reneged on an agreement to provide a special emoji to go along with the #crookedhillary.

in a statement twitter said they ultimately decided not to permit this particular format for any political advertising. >> the conference table was only so big. >> reporter: rnc communications director sean spicer insisted there was no attempt to shut twitter out. >> if you go down the list of the top tech companies, i guarantee you you'll find additional ones that weren't there. >> reporter: and twitter is smaller than the other companies that were represented in the room. also in the room were mr. trump's two sons, eric and don jr., despite his vows to turn his business over to them, and create a wall between the business and the white house. >> thanks, nancy. john heilemann is the managing editor of bloomberg politics. welcome. >> hello. >> hello. >> happy almost holidays, guys. >> thanks. >> i assume you all have magnificent plans coming up. >> let's talk about vladimir putin and these reports. >> yeah. >> there's increasing pressure, political pressure, on president obama to respond and respond in a strong way?

>> well i think there's two different kinds of pressure. the first question is going to be how to investigate this and can already see the way in which this debate is lining up with the question of whether it should be a congressional inquiry on a bipartisan basis or whether more of a 9/11 commission kind of model. a lot of democrats want to do that. a lot of republicans in control of congress want to do the investigation in congress. so there's a rift -- >> but the white house investigation is under way right now? and will come out before the president leaves office? >> it will. and there's also the question of whether there should be a response. and that, you remember joe biden when the first reports of this came out back in october joe biden threatened the notion that there could be some kind of response, whether a cyber response or some other kind of response. i think if there is -- beyond news reports, if there become more credible reports from this investigation that putin, for example, is directly involved in this, i think there's going to be a very strong national security case being made by many people that something needs to be done about this as opposed to

just looking for the truth of the story. which is important on its own. >> what can be done? suppose everything is true that he was involved, that he knew about it. what can be done? what does it change? >> well, there's a -- there's a -- the united states engages in cyberwar fare also. and has engaged in cyberwar fare against a variety of states in the past. one of the pieces that's always within the case in this area is that you could strike back against russia, against putin personally, against his assets. exposing information about putin and his holdings. much of which is shrouded in mystery as donald trump's financial ses tets. you could do that -- i'm not saying that's the right thing to do but it's certainly an option on the table that has been considered and would be considered in the future, i think. >> i guess the more interesting question to me is, most interesting, why would putin want trump as president? and what are the implications of that? and how does that affect who his secretary of state is? does it make it more or less likely that rex tillerson --

>> those are questions, quickly in my ear. vladimir putin has always had bad feelings about hillary clinton because she was one of the leaders of sanctions against russia after the crimea invasion. donald trump has made more conciliatory noises towards russia and putin than clinton did. you can imagine why there was a policy preference there on the basis of what their stated positions were. how that plays in to the tillerson nomination, going to be a huge question. confirmations are almost going to be exclusively about this issue. >> it's a good debate to have. >> and the question is going to be i think the central question of that confirmation hearing. >> john you did it very quickly, and very succinctly. >> what did donald know and when did he know it? >> and what about vladimir know and when did he know it. >> and what's going on with donald trump and kanye west? >> that is another large question. that's more complicated than anything else you talked about. >> thank you. schools and businesses are closed this morning in portland, after rare snowstorm crippled the city. parts of oregon received more than a foot of snow yesterday.

the conditions caused dozens of accidents. hundreds of people were stranded for hours in cars. and buses. and at school. brent wiseberg of cbs affiliate is in portland. >> good morning. here in portland this ten-car pileup is the result of treacherous driving conditions. the decision to keep schools and offices open yesterday left many stranded outside in dangerous conditions for hours. thousands of people were stuck for hours along streets and highways in portland wednesday, as the storm brought the city to a grinding halt. >> i was waiting up on the hill for over 45 minutes before i decided to walk down here. >> reporter: icy roads left many cars skidding or unable to move at all. the oregon department of transportation rarely uses salt to de-ice the roads, because of environmental concerns. >> whoo! >> reporter: conditions caused dozens of accidents. >> dominoes.

definitely you don't want to get in the middle. >> reporter: this video captured a school bus as it crashed into a parked car. hundreds of students were stranded at school or on buses for hours after classes ended, because of heavy traffic jams. >> we're just a few students who couldn't get out. there were plenty of students who walked in this weather all the way to southeast portland. >> reporter: outside the city, at least three offlaunches were reported shutting down highway 20, near a popular ski resort. further south in bend, oregon, more than a foot of snow fell by nightfall, trading near whiteout conditions. dozens of cars and tractor trailers got trapped in snow banks along highway 97. a few good samaritans showed up to help this stranded driver. and this moving van had to be towed so it wouldn't be stuck for the night. >> it's ridiculous. you know, you got to come prepared for being out here.

>> reporter: the portland public school system has closed all schools and offices for today with more snow in the forecast, temperatures aren't expected to rise until sometime next week. there's even more snow in the forecast for saturday. gayle? >> thank you. chief weather caster lonnie quinn of our station wcbs is tracking the wintry weather all across the country. your weather map ain't pretty today. >> these numbers are crazy. look this is wintry feel from one end of the country to the other. toughest is the northern plains and midwest into portions of northern new england. international falls will feel like 12 below zero when you factor in the win and that's the warmest. that's at like 2:00 in the afternoon. as far as snowfall goes, there's a big system that's moving in to the northwest, and as this thing rumbles across it's dropping huge amounts of snowfall. it's rain at the shore. it's higher in the elevated spots and snow. future cast, this will drop snow at some point in time from portland, oregon, all the way to

boston, massachusetts. and we have winter weather advisories and winter storm warnings, i mean a bunch of them. they're really concentrated for you folks out west. there are 12 states that are under winter storm warnings today. but again the bulk of them are focused right there in the western half of the country charlie. >> lonnie, thank you so much. a desperate evacuation is under way right now in the syrian city of aleppo. video appears to show a convoy of ambulances bringing injured people from the tiny area still held by rebels. syrian government buses are ready to remove thousands of trapped civilians. holly williams is following the story from istanbul. holly, good morning. >> good morning. we've obtained a video as it appears to show an attack on a convoy of civilians as injured people fight pro-syrian regime forces, reportedly wounding at least three. the ambulances were trying to ferry people out of aleppo, and to safety. instead, they came under fire.

this man was apparently shot while traveling in an ambulance. this comes a day after yet another cease-fire fell apart and an evacuation of fighters and civilians was canceled. an offensive by the syrian regime backed by russia and iran has left the rebels with only a tiny pocket of territory in aleppo. around two square miles, where thousands of civilians are thought to be trapped. after four years of fighting, the syrian government is in control of the rest of the city. it's a victory for the regime. and its allies, russia and iran, that has come at a horrendous human cost. regime forces have indiscriminately bombed civilians. there are also unconfirmed reports of more than 80 civilians being executed in aleppo by pro-regime forces. nor norah? >> awful situation there, holly. thank you so much.

california says uber must stop testing its self-driving cars on streets. uber started offering self-driving rides in san francisco yesterday. hours later, state regulators told the company to knock it off. dash cam video yesterday captured what appears to be a self-driving uber blowing through a red light on a busy street. uber blames human error uber is on a course with state regulators saying they need to

test self-driving cars in california. only hours after a uber cervical driving cars went into service in san francisco, the department of motor vehicles ordersed the testing to start. in letter the dmv warranted it is illegal for the company to operate its self-driving vehicles on public roads until it receives an autonomous vehicle testing permit. uber contends it doesn't need a permit because the vehicles are operating with a safety driver behind the wheel. in a blog post on wednesday, uber said complex rules and requirements could have the unintended consequence of slowing innovation. >> uber has a long history of just barreling into places where it wants to be. >> reporter: alex daveys is the transportation editor for "wired" magazine. >> it's gone into cities all over the world without really announcing itself to regulators and without much regard the way the taxi industry is regulated. >> reporter: on wednesday dash cam video captured what appeared to be one of uber's special

equipped vehicles sailing through a red light as someone stepped off the curb. uber called the incident human error and said the vehicle was not part of the pilot program and was not carrying any customers. >> the pedestrian had already coming off the sidewalk. i mean, it was pretty concerning. >> reporter: jessica felix was behind the wheel of the cab whose dash cam recorded the incident. >> we were on a busy street. it was 10:30. there was rush hour and people crossing the streets. it's just neglectful. >> reporter: in its letter to uber the dmv notes that 20 manufacturers have already obtained permits to test runs of cars on california roads and uber shall dot same and if it doesn't the dmv threatens legal action to get uber's test cars off the road. >> no matter what happens in california, uber is going to move ahead with thi

good morning. you thought westbound80 bad, between sunol valley road and highway 4 a multi-vehicle crash involving a big rig and car blocking multiple languages. only one lane might be open for traffic to flow through. the backup is already to richmond parkway and in that area, you're moving at 8 miles per hour. moving now to westbound 80 to the bay bridge toll plaza, the maze to downtown with a heavy 38 minutes. and then a look in san francisco, northbound 280 before alemany boulevard, that crash is off the road but cars at 30 miles per hour. it's the real deal so let's get to it. it's live hi-def doppler radar. we have already picked up over 4 inches of rain in venado just outside of healdsburg as this area of low pressure stalls over portions of the north bay now entering the santa rosa area pushing towards novato and mill valley. light rain in the east bay now

good morning to our view ners the west. it is thursday, december 15th, 2016. gayle, a song for you. welcome back to cbs this morning. more real news ahead including a look back at the year in news. the stories and moments we remember best. but first, here's today's eye opener at 8:00. >> u.s. intelligent sources say the hacks could not have been carried out without knowledge of senior levels of the kremlin. >> this is very serious. >> but the reprecussions that a foreign government tried to ip fluns our election is serious one and there's got to be a serious response. >> michael calls it a political 9/11. >> everything is true.

what can be done? >> you could strike back against russia, putin personally. you could do that. not the thing, but yuan option. >> weather map ain't pretty. >> this is a wintry feel from one end of the country to the other. as far as snowfall, there's a big system moving into the northwest. here in portland, this ten-car pile up is the result of treacherous driving conditions. >> what's your message to the young customers today? >> delete your account. >> i have had it. >> they did not get a dressing down by mr. trump the way media executives did a few weeks ago even though silicon valley leaders were largely crate cal of the president-elect while running. >> he gathered them for reason, to see if they could figure out his i-tunes login. u.s. intelligence sources

say they are convinced russian president putin approved hacking attacks that interfered with our presidential election. the hacking began in july of last year. the democratic national committee was the original target. putin denied knowledge of the attacks. >> but u.s. intelligence sources tell cbs news this type of hacking could not have happened without his plessing. president-elect donald trump disputes reports that russia was responsible. president obama's press secretary says there was no doubt russia did it and the president-elect benefitted from the hacking. josh earnest defended the president's decision and not the rush the process. >> given the president had endorsed a candidate in the presidential race, he believed it was important for the intelligence community to make this announcement. and that's why you saw a statement from you know, a joint statement from the ic and the department of homeland security.

again, that was an effort to ensure this information avoided even the appearance of being politically motivated. >> the obama administration had evidence of russia's connection months before revealing it in october. >> improving u.s. cybersecurity was the topic when trump met with leaders. nine others were there. their companies reportedly have a come wined market value of more than $3 trillion. they also talked about jobs, america's come ppetitive trade dynamics and tax cuts. jeff bezos said he found the meeting productivity. he said quote, i share the view that the administration should make innovations one of its pillars! mr. trump's two eldest sons were at the summit, so was ivanka and her husband, who helped set up the meeting. the president-elect said he will separate himself from his

business, letting his sons run it. a poll finds 70% of americans find mr. trump may have conflict of interest with his family in charge. >> frank has been talking with member of congress about their plans for the new year and joins us at the table. you're called a republican strategist. did you talk members on both sid sides? >> i did and i think the democratic response more interesting, particularly in the senate. they're going to determine whether or not donald trump can get 60 votes, what he will need to replace obama care, for tax reform. there's something called reconciliation, a complicated process which requires a budget to be passed. you can appeal it through reconciliation. that's a simple majority vote. for almost everything else he wants, he needs 60 votes and that means eight democrats have to break party ranks. there are about a dozen who are more independent, willing to

buck their leadership. will this be like 1980 with reagan where he got a consider bable number of democrats in the house and senate or closer to what obama had to face when republicans presented a wall. >> the obama administration certainly didn't think they got cooperation. do you think the democrats are indicating to you they're willing to cooperate? >> they're nervous because they think there could be retribution from their colleagues in the senate and they're nervous about the backlash. we are approaching christmas. but there's no christmas spirit in politics. >> do i remember that republicans were upset when obama talked about using reconciliation? >> yes and the amazing thing is that politics repeats itself, so, the question is, do you have a bill clinton situation, where he and republicans got along. do you have a reagan tip o'neill situation or obama republican situation where it didn't work. >> let back up. republicans control the presidency and both houses of congress. >> and the governors. legislature. >> in 70 year, republicans have

only done that six of those 70 years. they have an enormous opportunity to push their agenda they want. can they get it done, what will they get done in the first 100 days? >> you could see the entire reshaping of the american government no one is talk about this now, but governors wabt to take on more authority and they want the to tax revenue with it. you're looking at welfare, transfer of welfare from the federal to the state. medicaid, education. transportation. on issue after issue, the governors are saying give us a chance, let's make politics more local. provided they get -- >> but in the house under paul ryan, many policy wonks who have wanted for years, who have been working on tax reform, on immigration reform, can those things get done or is the republican party going to lose that because of infight something. >> they can get it done in the house and you're right, there are differences on immigration policy, on budget policy on taxes. the question is, can it get

through the senate. in the end, the house will pass everything in 100 days! quick answer here. when will the new president select a supreme court justice? >> within the first two weeks. i believe the first two weeks and i think there will be two picks within the next year based on who's hiring clerks and who isn't. >> thank you, frank. >> thank you. the long awaited evacuation of part of the syrian city of aleppo is underway. syrian government buses are are ready to remove civilians. we've obtained video that appears to show an attack on a convoy of civilians. at least three were reportedly were injured. this is what aleppo looked like before the war's devastation. the ancient city was a serious commercial hub and home to more than 2 million people, but after four years of fighting, this is what it looks like now. the syrian regime won with help

from iran and russia and its vikt rit came with the killing of civilians. both sides have decimated the city. this is the ancient marketplace in aleppo's old city before the war and this is what's left. the world heritage site now. >> every day you look at the p pictures and it gets worse and worse and doesn't seem to be changing. it's heartbreaking. >> you ask why, why and why. >> children killed. schools bombed. >> no one has an answer. federal regulators are launching a review of car seat safety in response to a cbs news investigation. the national highway traffic safety administration says new research program will look at ways to prevent failures tlik one in this video. cbs news identified more than 100 cases where collapses resulted in serious injury or death. most victims are children in the backseat. automakers say the seats meet or exceed standards, but those are almost 50 years old. our reporting prompteded three

members of congress last month to send letter demanding action. now, this is the agency's first response to that. research is expected to start early next year. >> this goes to show you how good reporting and good investigation can bring about change. >> quickly, too. every minute is critical for saving a life when someone has a stroke. ahead, one neurosurgeon in florida shows david how he's lighting the way to get to his patients faster.

♪ in o ♪ in our "morninds zblnchs on average, a stroke kills one american every four

minutes. the odds of survival improve when emergency treatment begins quickly. that's because almost two million brain cells die every minute during a stroke. david met one neurosurgeon in florida who found a new way to rush to the emergency room. you. there is just one surgeon who operates on all of the stroke victims at palm meadow general hospital outside of miami. this guys performs about a hundred emergency procedures every year and he needs to be there whenever the call comes. that means if he is with his family on the weekend it doesn't matter. this guy feels an obligation to respond. >> there is a stroke now? >> yeah. having just announced it. >> reporter: please. >> find out what it is. >> reporter: absolutely. in this case the doctor was already here at palm meadow general hospital but he often has to drive in to treat stroke victims, depending on the time of day, his 15-minute commute can easily stretch into 45 minutes. >> just the amount of damage that can happen and just about half an hour delay would be spectacular.

>> reporter: but now, damage control for his patients. he uses emergency lights on his personal car, speeding his arrival to folks like robert bustlow whose family dialed 911 when he suddenly had trouble tying his shoes and sweeping the porch. >> how bad was it? >> it was considered a fatal stroke if it wasn't taken care of. >> reporter: the neurosurgeon did take care of it before bustlow knew what has happening. >> he got this there very quick. the moment i got in there i was in the scanner going from one to the other and he got it out. >> reporter: just as he did for the patient that arrived when we were there. the doctor pulled out a tiny clot like this. >> if i did not have the lights or taken me another half an hour to get to him things would have been very different and he potentially probably paralyzed on the right side and never able to speak. >> the reason i have no ill effects is because, you know, dr. cashle got there very, very quick. >> reporter: no sirens? >> no. >> reporter: do you honk your horn? >> if i need to.

>> reporter: we mounted a camera inside of his car to see how it works. the lights allow him to drive on the shoulder of the highway around traffic backups. the fire department installed this after first checking to make sure it was legal. >> has to abide by all traffic laws. >> reporter: he has to stop at the traffic, go the speed limit. he can sort of move through the backup on the freeway? >> as people see the vehicle coming, they usually yield. >> it does have risks. there are accidents that occur, crashes that occur. >> reporter: dr. douglas cooper of the national association of state ems officials say ems medical directors sometime respond to scenes with lights and sirens on their car but that this is the first time he has heard of a surgeon using emergency lights. >> whenever there is a jam. otherwise, i never use the lights. >> reporter: the doctor worked 350 days last year. and he measures success by the minute. >> what we see is that any of these delays, those brain cells translate to this person being

able to walk out of this hospital on his own or go to a nursing home and be paralyzed for the rest of his life. >> so health officials suggest the best way for stroke victims to watch for signs. watch for a drooping face. arm weakness or speech problems. and to get help as soon as possible. the doctor says he has used the lights about seven times since he installed them in september. here is a lighter moment. he had to talk to his wife if he can do this. she said, sure, just get some extra life insurance and he did. >> so crucial and to know you're having a stroke. >> charlie, we watched him while we were there remove a stroke from a man's brain and it was the size of a rice kernel! he walked in and he couldn't move a limb! >> shows you right there. >> it's so nice to have you at the table. >> so good to be here! so good to be here! i tell you what, i'm in a suit and feel like a fish out of water! >> you're usually crawling
