law enforcement officials say that an i.d., including asylum papers, were found under the driver's seat of that truck. again, the suspect has been identified as anis amri, a tunisian national. the hunt is on to find him. probably armed and definitely dangerous. a killer remains on the loose. it is unclear how close german police are to catching the suspect, or any accomplices. they've asked the public for help and have received 500 tips, and the hunt for the killer, or killers, took on an ed urgency after isis claimed responsibility. we are learning more about the first victim of the attack, lucas irving, the 37-year-old polish truck driver who was found dead in the cab of the truck by investigators. he'd been shopped and stabbed. the owner of the trucking company said irving drove a

consignment of steel and arrived at 7:00 a.m. he was photographed at a diner at 2:00 p.m. irving called in at 3:00 p.m. but by 4:00 he was no longer answering his phone. the truck had been fitted with a gps tracking device. by 3:45 p.m. there are indications that irving was no longer in control of the truck. it was being driven as if the person inside was learning to drive. at 4:52 the engine was left running for 45 minutes, the truck didn't move. at 7:40, it started its journey to the christmas market traveling just over six miles. then the truck, and its polish driver, were simply discarded. after the killer somehow managed to melt away through the chaos. >> now why did it take two days for this identification of the suspect to come to light? there are two ways of going about his this. you go after him and hope he doesn't realize he's been identified or you leak his i.d. to the public in the hope that

somebody gives him up. >> charlie d'agata in berlin, thanks. mexican leaders vow to find who is responsible for the deadly fireworks explosion at a crowded market. the massive chain reaction blast killed at least 31 people and injured some 72 others. some children are being sent to galveston, texas, for burn treatment. the explosion leveled the fireworks market in tultepec north of mexico city. we see how the market has a history of trouble. mireya, good morning. >> good morning. the market was especially busy yesterday as shoppers prepared for the christmas and new year's holiday. this market was the site of previous explosions but this is the first to turn deadly. the series was massive explosions sent humanitarian clouds of smoke into the sky. the market was filled with 300 vendors all selling fireworks,

leading to a powerful chain reaction of uncontrolled blasts. one person used a cell phone to capture the chaos as crowds scattered in the wake of the destruction. this witness says people were running as pieces of concrete and brick started falling all over the street. search efforts began as the smoke cleared. crews worked through piles of twesed metal, heavy rubble and scorched wood to find any victim still alive. tultepec is considered mexico's fireworks capital, producing 80% of the pyrotechnics used around the country and it hosts a popular festival every year. but the city is no stranger to fires caused by fireworks. in 2005, a series of explosions ripped through the market. destroying hundreds of stalls. a similar incident occurred a year later. setting off fireworks is a traditional way to celebrate the

christmas and new year's holidays here. according to tultepec's mayor the market was especially well stocked tuesday because of the high demand. this official says it's difficult to assess the damage. he calls the situation very grave, and confirms almost the entire fireworks market was lost. the governor of mexico state says the country is in mourning. the city's mayor says the manufacturer and sale of fireworks is a vital part of their local economy. he also says that this industry is heavily regulated, and is supervised constantly. >> very deadly explosion. mireya, thank you so much. russia will hold a funeral tomorrow for its murdered ambassador to turk question. media reports say the police officer who shot the ambassador provided security for turkey's president eight times in recent months. holly williams has more on the investigation. good morning. >> good morning. several people have now

reportedly been detained as part. the investigation into the murder, including the killer's parents, and other family members. ambassador andrei karlov's body was sent home to moscow yesterday, a day after he was murdered in the turkish capital. his widow grief stricken. new video shows the 22-year-old turkish police officer turned assassin watching karlov as he gave a speech at an art exhibition. seconds later he pulled out a gun and shot him in the back. the assassination was an apparent act of revenge for russia's bloody airstrikes in syria. which have helped the syrian regime win back the city of aleppo. but forced tens of thousands of people to flee. many in turkey, and the rest of the middle east, are furious that russia's support for a government that is indiscriminately bombed its people. russia and turkey are on

opposite sides of the syrian civil war but recently relations between the two have improved. in moscow last night, the russia and turkish foreign ministers paid tribute to karlov. at a summit meeting they also agreed on an expanded cease-fire in syria. turkey said it believes a group known as gulenists are behind the killing. their leader fethullah gulen is an islamic preacher who lives in pennsylvania. u.s. secretary of state john kerry talked with his turkish counterpart yesterday about allegations made by some in turkey that the u.s. was somehow involved. which his spokesman called ridiculous. >> it's a ludicrous claim. absolutely false. there's no basis of truth in it whatsoever. and the secretary made that very clear. >> whoever was behind this assassination, if any group at all, it's highlighted just how close russia has become to america's nato ally turkey.

the u.s. was not a part of that summit meeting yesterday. anthony? >> holly williams in istanbul. thanks. donald trump and bill clinton are trading insults over the election, and how it was won. the feud comes as the fbi yesterday unsealed the warrant to search for hillary clinton's e-mails on a computer belonging to the husband of her aide huma abedin. clinton's allies say the document revealed the fbi had very little evidence to justify the search. julianna goldman is in washington with more. >> good morning. the warrant gave new fodder to hillary clinton's team who have blamed fbi director james comey for her loss to donald trump. they say it shows investigators knew the new e-mails were just like the thousands they went through before comey concluded in july he wouldn't prosecute clinton, or anyone on her staff for mishandling classified information. according to the october 30th warrant application, fbi agents said there is probable cause to believe the laptop shared by

huma abedin and her estranged husband anthony weiner contained classified information. the warrant doesn't indicate they have found classified information, only that there was the potential to cause exceptionally grave damage to national security. it was the discovery of the e-mails that prompted fbi director james comey, just eleven days before the election, to send a letter telling lawmakers the fbi was reopening its investigation into clinton's e-mails. former press secretary brian fallon responded to yesterday's release saying it shows the fbi had no new evidence to reopen the investigation. it has softened the wounds since the fbi rationale was this flimsy and comey's intrusion on the election was as utterly unjustified as we suspected at time. just a day earlier bill clinton blamed his wife's loss in part on what he called the bogus e-mails. and the fbi. >> they had the russians, and the fbi, she couldn't reveil against that. >> he should know better than to be blaming russian hacking or

jim comey. >> reporter: trump adviser kellyanne conway blasted the former president. >> it's time for the clintons to do what the obamas have done. which is to -- to open up the door and say, we are here to help you have a peaceful transition in our great democracy. >> reporter: bill clinton also took a swipe at the president-elect, recently telling a local westchester paper that donald trump doesn't know much. but does know how to get angry white men to vote for him. that prompted a response from mr. trump on twitter. who said it was the former president who doesn't know much, especially how to get people, even within a limited budget, out to vote in the vital swing states. they focused on wrong states. after president-elect donald trump will be holding more meetings today at mar-a-lago as he continues to finalize his cabinet. and picks for senior white house staff. norah, he'll reportedly meet with his national security adviser michael flynn, who met with incoming vice president mike pence yesterday here in washington. >> all right, julianna, thank you. donald trump's transition

team is distancing the president-elect and his family from a party that appears to give presidential access to high-paying donors the day after he's inaugurated. the brochure for the january 21st event lists eric and donald trump jr. as honorary co-chairmen. its sponsored packages range from $25,000 to $1 million. donald trump's children serve on the executive committee of his presidential transition team. trump spokeswoman said the event and details are merely initial concepts and haven't been approved by the trump family and the sons are not involved in any capacity. president obama is blocking new offshore drilling in huge areas of u.s.-owned waters. his declaration affects the sections of the arctic ocean that's about the size of spain, as well as 31 canyons in the atlantic ocean. they are now off limits to oil and gas companies. margaret brennan is at the white house with what's behind the ban and how it is already being challenged. margaret, good morning. >> good morning. in an attempt to protect both

the environment and his own legacy, president obama invoked an obscure law to declare much of the eastern seaboard, and some of the arctic, off limits to oil exploration. the decision is a last-ditch apemt by president obama to nail down environmental protections before donald trump takes office. the so-called permanent drilling ban applies to portions of the ocean floor from virginia to massachusetts. and shields most of alaska's northern coast. president obama visited that state last year. as part of his two-year effort to protect around 125 million acres in the region. and highlight the effects of climate change. >> the pace of the reductions of the glacier are accelerating rapidly each and every year. >> reporter: the decision to indefinitely halt drilling off the alaskan coast is sure to irk the incoming trump administration which has friendly ties to the energy industry. the american petroleum institute

sid in a statement, fortunately, there's no such thing as a permanent ban, and we look forward to working with the new administration on fulfilling the will of american voters on energy production. bob deans is with the national resources defense council. >> the law gives the president the authority to protect these waters, it does not give a future president the authority to undo those protections. and no president has done that. >> reporter: but the u.s. is not going it alone. in the movement of solidarity, canada's progressive prime minister justin trudeau announced he'd also block new drilling in the arctic territory. the republican controlled congress could move to rescind the order but if this case ends up in court it would be the first of its kind with virtually no precedent to draw from. >> margaret brennan, thanks. more officials connected to the water crisis in flint, michigan, are now facing felony charges.

two former state appointed emergency managers and two city employees are accused of not protecting people from exposure to lead and bacteria. they could spend decades behind bars if convicted. at least a dozen people died as a result of the contamination. hundreds of children were poisoned 73 jericka duncan is here with the new criminal charges. good morning. >> good morning, anthony. michigan's top prosecutor blamed the flint water crisis on former state and city employees who he says were fixated on money over people's health. the two state employees targeted on tuesday are the highest ranking officials to be charged in the nearly year-long investigation. >> flint was a casualty of arrogance, disdain, and a failure of management. >> reporter: michigan attorney general bill schuette on tuesday charged former michigan emergency managers, darn knell "early" and gerald ambrose with four crimes, including misconduct in office and

conspiracy. also facing charges, including conspiracy, flint's former public works director howard croft, and former utilities director dougherty johnson. >> flint deserves better. the people of flint are not expendable. >> in 2013, earley and ambrose were poirnted as emergency managers to address flint's troubled finances. to save money they stopped buying water from detroit and planned a new pipeline to give water directly from lake huron. in the interim they switched flint's water source to the nearby flint river where the water was so corrosive it caused lead from old pipes to leech into the water supply. >> during the course of this investigation there's been a fixation on finances and balance sheets. this fixation has cost lives. >> reporter: schuette alleges officials defrauded tens of millions of borrowed state dollars for the project and ignored warnings that the water from the flint river was unsafe.

when you look at the documents -- darnell earley spoke with cbs news correspondent adriana diaz in march. >> in behind sight i wish that i had done more. i wish that i had done more. hindsight is 20/20. >> reporter: governor rick snyder reportedly defended the law of reporting state officials to manage local financial crises. that's something many people in flint like melissa may oppose. >> this people should go to jail. they should have their rights taken away as we did. under the emergency managers, we have no rights. we have no say. >> reporter: ambrose, croft and johnson have pleaded not guilty to the charges. earley has not yet entered his plea in court. the announcement brings the total number of government officials charged to 13. the nine others charged are scheduled to appear in court today for a hearing. nor roh? >> all right jericka, thank you so much. the battle over self-driving uber cars may come to a head today ahead the key decision in california that could help determine the future of autonomous vex operated by,,,,

i'm hall of famer jerry west and my life is basketball. but that doesn't stop my afib from leaving me at a higher risk of stroke. that'd be devastating. i took warfarin for over 15 years until i learned more about once-daily xarelto... a latest generation blood thinner. then i made the switch. xarelto® significantly lowers the risk of stroke in people with afib not caused by a heart valve problem. it has similar effectiveness to warfarin. warfarin interferes with vitamin k and at least six blood clotting factors. xarelto® is selective targeting one critical factor of your body's natural clotting function. for people with afib currently well managed on warfarin, there is limited information on how xarelto and warfarin compare in reducing the risk of stroke. like all blood thinners, don't stop taking xarelto without talking to your doctor, as this may increase your risk of a blood clot or stroke. while taking you may bruise more easily, and it may take longer for bleeding to stop. xarelto may increase your risk of bleeding if you take certain medicines. xarelto can cause serious, and in rare cases fatal bleeding.

get help right away for unexpected bleeding, unusual bruising or tingling. if you have had spinal anesthesia while on xarelto watch for back pain or any nerve or muscle related signs or symptoms. do not take xarelto if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. tell your doctor before all planned medical or dental procedures. before starting xarelto tell your doctor about any conditions, such as kidney, liver or bleeding problems. to help protect yourself from a stroke, ask your doctor about xarelto. there's more to know. xarelto.

it? we do what we want and ask for permission later. >> absolutely. they act like a pirate ship. they have been getting cease and desist orders since the first day and ignoring them and they built an amazing business with this. it's a very different philosophy at most companies. >> an amazing business looks like it's losing $3 billion this year? >> it has evaluation of, what? $70 billion right now. they have built an extraordinary company and figured out how the market works and figured out what their investors want and they are losing money faster than any technology company in history. >> why are they losing money? >> a, they have this unfortunate thing called drivers who they have to pay which is why they are testing out self-driving cars and that loses a lot of money. secondly, they are in this intense competition with lyft. what uber is trying to do is follow the amazon money. we lose money and build market

share and make money later and they are competing with that. >> we have reported incidents of uber cars running red lights and not safely crossing bike lanes. are driverless cars safe at this point and does uber have a case? >> driverless cars are getting safe. driverless cars in the future will be safe and a great thing for us. they don't get drunk. they don't text. that is a wonderful thing. problem is right now they -- >> they are also running red lights. >> yeah. and particularly uber's. what we need at this moment is n lienate people like people in san francisco. >> where does uber stand in this race to develop this technology? >> they are moving incredibly quickly. they were behind for a while and google was the one that came out first. but then uber hired basically all of the computer sentence at

cars from the road. now believe it or not, beijing authorities considered defining the smog as a natural disaster earlier this month which caused a stir. the pollution is mostly caused by factories and cars and just made worse by weather patterns. dense, gray smog is smothering parts of china. for days, pollution has made it difficult to navigate cloudy roads, forcing many on the streets to dawn protective masks. this vague red outline of a building is what beijing's forbidden city looked like earlier today. 460 million people living in north and central china have been under a pollution red alert. that is nearly the same amount as the populations of the u.s., canada, and mexico combined. as you can see, there are still plenty of people out on the streets of beijing. a lot of them wearing masks like i am. for many here, pollution is part of life. so they are going about their daily business.

but other people choose to leave the city when it gets this smoggy. they are called smog refuges and one estimate puts it at tens of thousands of people who leave china annually because of the pollution. the pollution is scary, this woman said, when there is so much pollution, we have to stay at home and take care of our child so it really has repercussions on our lives. in hanai province, one principal was criticized for having children take exams outside. i think if it lasts for a short time we can endure it this man says but if it lasts for long on the harm it will do to our health will be serious. there is good news coming. winds are expected to move in in the next few hours to push out some of this smog and the red alert is expected to be lifted. anthony? >> adriana diaz in beijibeijing thanks. i would be a smog refuges i

well. carter evans shows us how new technology can prevent drone users from entering dangerous territory. >> reporter: drones show the world from a new perspective, but even as they push the limits, some drone makers say it's time to limit their capabilities to help their customers. >> we had certain restricted area that is built into the drone already so you physically cannot go in there. >> reporter: willis chung is the marketing director for dhi which sells more drones than any other single manufacturer. the company's flight control app builds virtual fences around high security locations where drones have caused problems before, like airports and nuclear facilities. the app monitors the drone's location using gps and prevents it from crossing the invisible barriers indicated in red. with permission from air traffic control, we tested the technology at burbank airport

outside of los angeles. as our drone headed toward the busy runway, the app flashed several warnings and then it hit the wall. >> once you hit that wall, it's not going to allow you to go up or out. it will allow you to go back and down. >> reporter: the app updates in real-time so the company can quickly build temporary virtual fences around fast moving wildfires or high profile political and sporting events. what. >> what we see with new features like geo fencing it creates a strong balance between a safe environment as well as an environment that continues to foster innovation. >> reporter: but dhi does allow customers to unlock restricted areas. if it's a system that can be bypassed, what good is it in the first place? >> the geo system is an authorization mechanism. the geo system is a tool for any pilot to just use to make smarter decisions on where to ply. >> reporter: most drone makers

don't set any flight restrictions at all so some companies are using anti-drone technology to protect intruders and protect sensitive air space. this device jams the drone's authority to take over and this drone mounted system shoots a net to catch other drones mid flight. but law enforcement agencies in the netherlands are going low tech, using specially trained eagles to take down drones. if you gate drone this holiday season, you're going to have to register it with the faa, unless it's under half a pound in size, like this one. now if you want to sell the pictures and video that you get from your drone, in that case, you're going to need a commercial drone pilot's license and you can get that from the faa as well. carter evans, studio city, california. >> eagle versus drone! eagle wins! >> i'm for the eagle every time. >> me too! >> terrific. have you guys seen this? a mom who became an internet

♪ good morning to our viewers in the west. it is wednesday, december 21st, do 16. welcome back to "cbs this morning." more real news ahead, including a new suspect named in the deadly truck attack in berlin, germany. former fbi investigator ali sufan looks at the chance of a similar attack in the u.s. first, here is today's eye opener at 8:00. the investigation began, officials say an i.d. found under the driver's seat of that truck. the market was the site of previous explosions, but this is the first to turn deadly. whoever was behind the assassination, if any group at all, is highlighted just how close russia has become to -- the warning gave new fodder

overnight, the blast killed 31 people and injured 72 others. witness video shows the powerful chain reaction explosion. it had 300 fireworks vendors, packed with shoppers stocking up for the holidays. some badly burned children are being sent to galveston, texas, for treatment. search efforts began as the smoke began to clear. crews worked through piles of twisted metal, heavy rubble and scorched wood to find survivors. mexican leaders vow to find who's responsible. police in germany have launched a massive manhunt for a new suspect in the berlin truck attack that killed 12 and injured nearly 50 more. law enforcement sources tell cbs news police are searching for anis amri, a native of tunisia. german media put out his photo this morning, his i.d. was found in the cab of the hijacked truck that rammed into a christmas market. police say amri is likely armed. the truck's polish driver was shot and stabbed. isis claims responsibility, but a u.s. official says there

is no evidence of involvement. right wing german politicians blame the government's refugee policy. germany admitted hundreds of thousands into the country. german chancellor angela merkel toured the site of the attack yesterday and said it would be truly hard to bear if the killer turned out to be a migrant. turkish police made several arrests after monday's asassination of russia's ambassador to turkey. six of the gunmen's family members and his roommate have been detained. ambassador andre karlov's body arrived last night. his grief stricken wife and mother were accompanied by the russian and turkish foreign ministers. russian investigators are in turkey to search for clues in the killing. new video shows the 22-year-old killer watching karlov as he gave a speech. after a few second, he pulled out a gun and shot him in the back. the gunman protested russia's political and military support of the assad regime in syria. russia and turkey are on

opposite sides in the civil war that forced tens of thousands of syrians to flee in recent weeks. both countries along with iran held a summit meeting yesterday and expanded the cease-fire in syria. u.s. was not part of the talks. ali sufan investigated many terrorism cases including the east africa embassy bombings, the attack on the uss cole and the events before and after 9/11. he's now ceo of the soufan group. good morning. >> good morning, alex. >> let's talk about how this investigation is unfolding. police say they don't have enough evidence to connect this back to isis, but the suspect was known. what do you make of that? >> first of all, it is interesting that the suspect is a tunisian. as you know, tunisians represent the largest national contingency in isis, from all the foreign fighters, 6,000 of them come from tunisian backgrounds. also, if you look into europe, there are hotbeds of extremism, especially in belgium and france

and other places on the continent. most of the people come from north africa. many of them come from tunisia. now, what we see with this attack is something a little bit different than what we saw with the nice attack. it looks -- it is a truck. and killed people. but also in the same time, this is way more complicated. so somebody actually hijacked a truck, they killed the driver, first with a knife and then allegedly they shot him, they kept the body in the car, and then as they use the truck as a weapon, that's a level of complexity that we did not see before. >> you think that reflects greater planning? >> that reflects that at least the individual who did it has some sort of training. and maybe connected to a larger cell. so it is not what we have seen in san bernardino, not what we have seen in orlando. it is not even what we have seen in nice where an individual

self-radicalized and overnight they go from the radicalization phase to the mobilization phase. that's a little bit different. another thing that makes me, you know, wonder about this case, the fact that isis claimed responsibility before there is a dead body. mostly they only claim these guys are soldiers of the caliphate after they are dead. we have seen that in san bernardino, in orlando, in paris, in belgium. and in this case, almost, you know, few hours after the attack they claim that he is a soldier of the caliphate. >> so what do you make of that? >> i think maybe he's connected to isis. maybe he's connected to raqqah. maybe he's connected to a cell doing external work and external operation, not the typical terrorist attacks we have seen where they wait for a phone call or they wait to see a post with

that person pledging allegiance to baghdadi and the islamic state. >> law enforcement forces say they found the suspect's i.d. on the floor of the truck. why would they wait two days to put this name out? >> well, you don't know what is going on. sometimes in law enforcement you have evidence and then you try to follow leads, try to, you know, catch the individual without giving them a heads up that you're looking for them. so, you know, i think there is different probably investigative calculations that fed into this. the moment they released the pakistani/afghani as they called him -- the earlier suspect it was very obvious that police in germany have some stronger leads that indicate that individual was innocent. >> using a truck is like a battle ram, essentially. something that was proposed in isis literature. it has been out there .

intelligence nosknows, john mil said yesterday, they're talking to truck companies to make sure there is a lot of cooperation go on. but in this case, it was a stolen truck. what question does that raise for you as far as security here at home? >> we have to realize that europe is very different than the united states. after 9/11, we put a lot of structures in place, that created better cooperation between state and local and between federal agencies, also between intelligence and law enforcement. so we have a lot of things here in place that can prevent something like this. but as you know, unfortunately, you know, we have to be successful 100% of the time. they have to be successful only once. but so far, i think i trust the good work that the joint terrorism task forces around the nations are doing. here as you see in new york city, nypd doing phenomenal work. i think we have a lot of things in place to prevent something like this. but the thing with -- as you

mentioned, with the trucks, this is not proposed by isis. before it was proposed by al qaeda. the first entity to ask the followers around the world to use trucks to kill innocent people is al qaeda inspired magazine in 2010. >> always good to have you here. thank you so much. >> great pleasure. thank you. donald trumps' presidential inauguration is less than one month away. his choices include 11 millionaires, seven former ceos, eight people with government experience and five military veterans. bernie sanders yesterday criticized some of the picks and wrote on facebook, as never before in our history the american people are going to have to organize and fight back against this reactionary movement toward oligarchy. mr. trump has tapped scott pruett to lead the epa. pruett has sued the agency multiple times including to block federal measures to reduce smog and curb toxic emissions

in this morning's eye on money millions of americans will consider buying a home next year. the number of sales of existing homes this year is expected to reach 5.5 million and the highest since 2006 but inventory is down. they say the number of available starter homes dropped by more than 10%. cbs news analyst jill schlesinger is here to explain. should you get nervous with the market? >> i think it's fine. it's been a very good year for both existing and new home sales so we don't have the latest data but through november, we know that existing home sales are up nearly 6% from a year ago. new home sales up by almost 18% from a year ago. now as you mentioned in the intro, inventory is down. that has pushed up prices which has made it a little bit harder to get into the market.

>> so mortgage rates are expected to push 4.6% by the end of this year. what does that mean for the housing market? >> i think a lot of people look at this and they get, like, freaked out! oh, my god! 4.5 or 5%? >> there was a time that was -- >> that was a good rate. >> yes. >> but i also want to point out let's look at the average house. you by $250,000 and you get a 200,000 dollar mortgage. you say what was it like at 3.5%, my monthly payment, right? it was under 900 bucks a month. 4.5% a big move is 1,013. i'm not saying everybody can pull in the extra 150 bucks or more a month but some people can. >> as we look into the future,

trump administration has promised tax reform. what are the implications for interest rates and mortgages? >> this is an interesting part of the tax reform. because what happened steve mnuchin went on the air and said the tax reform is not just going to be a big gift to wealthy people. what it's going to be is a tax rate which will drop but we may limit itemized deductions. what is that? mortgage interest. now the industry, the housing industry, the real estate people out there they are freaking out because, obviously, one component of making a house affordable is the deductibility of mortgage interest. they are going to fight hard against that. maybe a promise is that they limit deductions to, say, 200,000 for a family and that would really only impact the wealthiest of americans. >> what is the current limit now? >> there is no limit. there are certain phase-out that push you into the alternative minimum tax. but most americans can take advantage of mortgage interest deductions. >> with prices back to 2006

levels, has the housing market effectively recovered? >> they are back at nominal numbers. if you actually look at inflation, we see that house prices are still about 16% below where they were. let me put that in perspective. you buy a house in, say, the year 2006. that house is worth $200,000. it grew to 276,000 so inflation counts. >> can we give a shout-out to your mom? >> we love my mom. >> jill schlesinger, always good to see you. thank you for clarifying a confusing topic. a police officer helped a speeding driver tie up loose ends. how a traffic stop turned into an unexpected lesson for a student with a clothing crisis. you're watching "cbs this morning."

mozambiqam sewn's echo. consumer protection joined an appeal asking major toy stores to immediately discontinue sales of a doll. it alleges the my friend kayla doll has yn imminent and immediate threat to the safety and security. we reached out to two of the companies who worked to make the doll. nuance said it does not share voice data with any of its other customers. scott stein joins us from cnet. what do you make of the my kayla doll? >> for a while we have been talking about this with these types of toys and much like you plug in your home. alexa or google at home and record snippets of what you say.

regardless they use that in the clouds for certain purposes. the privacy rules change, depending on the company but they need to be able to listen and record to do what they are doing. there is some concern about with that. nuance says they are not sharing it but certainly some element of collection. >> are they collecting the voice recorded data somewhere? >> the idea you're collecting that to learn and it may not be necessarily served back to that person but some companies use it to improve their a.i. it's part of the data. other companies choose to not collect that and have some sort of privatization. look at what google and amazon are doing. the information is always being collected and what they are able to use to allow you to shop there or like google did sd for the rest of its search services. >> do they have the ability to actually listen to you? even when you're not talking to them? >> no. for most of these devices, you have some sort of activation word.

once that happens things are recorded afterwards so it's not continuously recording. certainly there are hacker groups have demonstrated that all of these things can have vulnerabilities and there have been hacks in the past either on the server end or as a demonstration on a particular device. >> why is voice data so valuable to these companies? >> well, the voice data, first of all, is part of search. it's an extension of the reason why search and all of this information becomes important to learn about you. but it's also interesting because it's a single channel. if you have your phone you can switch apps but a lot of devices have one way to connect you through voice. if you have amazon and have echo, it owns that landscape. facebook's jarvis, same way. i think it's exciting for the companies for that reason because you can't switch out of it once you've got it. >> we have heard hacks going through and people don't think of like cameras. are these devices vulnerable to hacking? >> sure, they could be

vulnerable to hacking. you know, all of these extended peripherals are less secure, in general, than what you're going to have on your phone or your computer. so that stuff is still being explored. it's a big issue. a hack last year that was tied back to -- i mean, earlier this year to internet of things so that will continue to be -- and companies are not putting privacy necessarily at the forefront, especially if they are selling a toy. >> back to the toy that my friend kayla doll, we reached out to the store's asked by consumer groups to remove the dolls from the sales and only toys "r" us got back to us saying the productno long available at their store. >> keep an eye the fact is internet connected but not going anywhere because we will see more and more devices like this. it's knowing where the company is connecting to and what the services are and knowing there is an element of security they are talking about. >> like having a listening device in your house. >> a brave new world. >> only get more intense.
