get through there. and over in marin here southbound 101 before miller creek road this solo car crash cleared off the road but that backup all the way beyond delong avenue so give yourself extra time to get through there. i'll send it to you. >> thank you, roqui. we have a soaking going on in the east bay and in the santa clara area, as well. we do have a line of showers that remain draped across the eastern portion of our bay area. you can see it wrapped around now mount hamilton exiting downtown san jose. over an inch of rain is accumulating this morning in many locations. cloudy skies in san francisco. we have seen up to .7" of rain nearly three-quarters. in the 50s. later today highs where we should be for this time of the year. partly sunny later this afternoon. dry days thursday. more rain and wind on friday. then sunday night. ,,,,,,,,

europe very much on edge as this wave of attacks continue. too early at this stage to say what exactly the motive for today's attack outside parliament was, but again, you can imagine europe, london, very much on edge as police now responding to this emergency situation outside the houses of parliament. >> we are seeing some running outside of that gate right there. for those who are unfamiliar with the area, the territory of the tract of london we're talking about, you mentioned big ben. this is a tourist area as well as an area where the government, of course, finds its seat. tell us more about the location, specifically, if you could. >> yes. so this is really the heart of london. this is where if you are a tourist coming here to visit, if not day one, day two you go to this area, not only the houses
8:04 am
of parliament where politics play out, but also just the sites and really the history, the architecture a huge draw. big ben, obviously, we all know big ben and across the way the sites that kids really like to go to like the london eye, the huge ferris wheel right over the thames. thousands of people, tens of thousands go to this area just to take photos alone and let alone just exploring the history. this is happening really in the height of a day when people would go at this hour to engage in such activities, taking these photos again, such a huge draw for tourists, but again, you can't forget politics and business here. this is also a major thoroughfare for people going to work. this is happening around 2:40 local time so really at the height of the business day, and really a nightmare for police and really becoming difficult as this investigation remains under way. >> again, this is a fluid
8:05 am
situation. i want to go now to an interview that our partners at sky news did with a witness on the scene. let's take a listen to that. >> and a vehicle that looked like a 4x4, i could see crashed into the railings and there was smoke underneath this vehicle, and i walked on a few paces further and saw what i assumed to be a pedestrian or cyclist who had clearly been hit and wasn't moving although he did then gently move for a couple of seconds. the guy who i assume was the driver of this 4x4 got out of the car and suddenly sprinted away from the scene, and that was followed by four what sounded very much like gunshots to me. all of a sudden all hell was let loose. police descended everywhere and the whole area was locked down. >> that was an eyewitness account of what's happening here. again, it's a fluid situation. we are hearing reports of a possible shooting near the british parliament. that witness just heard up to
8:06 am
four gunshots. jonathan, what more can you tell us about the way police have responded in the immediate aftermath of all of this? >> we know several people injured and the helicopter, we can tell you, has been brought in to help with those injuries. again, we're hearing as many as 12 people injured from what that eyewitness describing, clearly, loud noises of some sort as we piece this together just from the metropolitan police, their own words via tweet, clearly gunshots were involved just to bring back into this, being treated as a firearms incident according to police. also going on to say that a knife was involved here. there are ambulances, obviously, there on the ground. this is not only a major tourist destination as we've gone into, but a difficult place to reach and just getting emergency vehicles and the first responders into that area to stage that area, to respond to the number of victims is going to be tricky and really a priority at this point. again, as many as 12 people,
8:07 am
although that number could rise as it is still unclear how many were injured and the extent to which it unfolded and the firearms incident as the rescue effort is under way to help those injured outside the houses of parliament. >> we do know that parliament suspended its session. i am not sure, jonathan, whether you know members of parliament are still inside the building or whether they were evacuated. >> that's unclear. you know, the information that we have right now i can't go too much into detail about that. we do know there were people inside at the time and as you see the video that's playing right now, some were told to wait inside. >> you know, whether or not they would have been evacuated at the height of so much uncertainty, it seems unlikely. of course, a perimeter is set up. the parliament on lockdown and we're also being told a number of businesses and other office
8:08 am
buildings in the area locked down as what we believe to be an active man hunt unclear. little unknown whether how many people were involveded in this attack whether if it was one person acting alone or multiple people and very fluid as this literally just happening a few minutes ago. >> jonathan, we know that the british take security very seriously. what is the normal police presence like on your average day? >> yeah. pretty much anywhere you go throughout london it's common place to see police patrolling the streets. we went into detail earlier. the wave of attacks that have really took place throughout europe over the past two or three years have been good reason for the increased security and patrol presence that we see throughout europe and especially here in london and london has not had a several attack in a few years.
8:09 am
over the weekend they -- very much on heightened alert and you can see that play out this afternoon as police respond to a very real threat outside the houses of parliament and still at this point and we're heaping hoping to get an update whether or not we have a sense from police whether this was one person or multiple people, but that, still at this point, at this hour remains unclear. >> for those of you just joining us once again, we are hearing reports of a possible shooting near the british parliament and a dozen people are reportedly injured and we have breaking information and the leader of the house of commons says a policeman was stabbed inside parliament. jonathan, getting in and out of parliament is a fairly onerous security procedure, is it not? >> that is correct and hearing that information, as well, to confirm again, a leader of the house of commons saying a police officer stabbed inside parliament and how that would happen, what kind of clearance this person would have in order
8:10 am
to carry that out. i've been in parliament and it requires for myself having a press pass or having some form of identification. this is a highly secure facility. whether or not they managed to get into parliament and not make it through the security checkpoint, that would possibly explain how this unfolded if they managed to get through the security checkpoint to carry this out. that is a different story and at this point from the statement that we're seeing, it's still not clear exactly where that took place, and we're looking to get information and an update on that, but that also goes into what we are hearing from police confirming that a man carrying a knife charged the gates. whether or not they broke through though, again, that security checkpoint where you have to take out your belt and take out your wallet similar to an airport, that is unclear. >> i must stress this is a fluid situation, but we are hearing
8:11 am
some reports on westminster bridge outside of parliament and geographically, how far away is that from the parliament building? >> 200, 300 yards. so a few minutes' sprint, and you would be there and this is all happening, really, in the same location and we're still waiting to piece together exactly how this unfolded. still too soon at this point. >> unfolding situation. jonathan vigliotti in washington. we will continue to follow this developing story. our coverage will continue throughout the day on this cbs station and our streaming network cbsn. some of you will return to "cbs this morning." this has been a cbs specialci that's how google works.
8:12 am
whatever product idea i have is from the old times and they say oh, what a stupid idea. why don't you try this new idea, which i haven't thought about. that's the genius of google. >> that was then google executive chairman and ceo eric schmidt speaking to 60 minutes in 2005 about how the company keeps up the pace of innovation. google has grown dramatically since then, with revenue soaring to $90 billion. concerns to some staff about how it functions. leaders restructured under a parent company called alphabet to encourage more innovation. >> eric schmidt and jonathan rosenberg just updated their best-selling book, how google works, lessons the two learned as they build a tech giant. on how alphabet works, eric schmidt and jonathan rosenberg, we're pleased to have you here. how does alphabet work
8:13 am
differently than google? >> you say the company that triples in size, most companies just grow the same. but ultimately you have to oregon differently. you have to oregon around the people who have the biggest impact. we took those people and put them in charge of companies. >> let me go to two people who founded this company. how is it different for sergey and how is it different for larry? >> for both of them, they have ceos that are running these businesses, including sunder, who runs all of google. it's a huge change internally. >> what do they do? >> alphabet is about getting more ambitious things done, things that are ambitious and even more ambitious things. to have a set of ceos to scale around we're able to have the technical insights. larry and sergey are able to spend time with them. things are going spectacularly at google. >> you wrote giving the customer what he wants is less important than giving him what he doesn't
8:14 am
know he wants. how do you figure that out? >> i think you figure that out with ceos who can find technical insights and if you look at even the beginning of google, customers -- photos sorted in order. and now we can find -- >> a whole day with a technical team trying to tease out business opportunities. >> it's also said that they're interested in a whole lot of things that go beyond google. >> their ambition is very, very broad. if you think about self-driving cars, something that larry talked about for a long time or all artificial intelligence work, that they worked on when they were graduate students. so it's their vision from 15 years ago. >> how far away are self-driving cars? >> they work now. >> i've driven -- >> you have failed to drive --
8:15 am
>> you've been in one? >> i've been in one. the experience starts with being scared. >> yes? >> and then very quickly -- >> it takes 20 minutes to recover, in my experience. >> you go from being scared to being exhilarated to being bored in about five minutes. then a train or bus. >> we're testing now in four cities. i hate to say it. more than 30,000 people are going to die on american highways. terrible, terrible cost. >> what's the prediction for driverless cars? >> none or very small number. >> particular moment where we're looking at what keeps american jobs thriving and what keeps america innovating.
8:16 am
this is one of the main avenues which gets tech to silicon valley. eric, where do you stand on that? >> the industry is completely united on diversity, inclusion and the importance of high-skills innovation. it is completely insane for people who want to come to our country, create new jobs, new wealth and we want all that wealth to come to america to found the kind of companies that google represents and alphabet and the many others that happen. you're literally crazy to say to those people you're not allowed in the country because you're a foreigner. >> so you're -- are you optimistic? where does that leave you in this particular moment? >> we are united as an industry. that if you want economic growth and jobs -- remember, the five most valuable companies in america are tech companies right now. if you want more of them, you need to have this high-skilled labor coming in.
8:17 am
changes in h1b visa should allow for more not fewer such people. >> where is alphabet in china today? >> we're in china. main efforts in china market all over the world successfully. search is run out of hong kong. >> you have to go to hong kong? >> and we do that because the chinese government blocks some access to our services. they do that because of some censorship rules. >> do you feel that google has a censorship in china on the mainland? >> we do. very large engineering center there and sales are growing. the search has been hobbled by restrictions from the chinese government. >> what could cause america to lose its technological and its scientific edge? which has powered its economy? >> this administration has
8:18 am
proposed cutting some of the basic science research. that's also, in my view, a mistake, and probably the industry as a whole would have the same view. the reason is that there are rules of the government that are difficult to have technology or companies replace. medical funding. those cuts should be restored. >> will we see more women in silicon valley? >> we certainly hope so. >> how do you make that happen? >> one great example that we saw which gets to innovation is geena davis gender bias institute. one thing that she noticed is that women have less screen time in movies than men. we use techniques to look at the last five years of top grossing movies and that men speak twice as much as women.
8:19 am
sharing that with producers and directors has helped them to understand they need to give women more screen time. >> it's a work in process. thank you so much. their updated book "how google works" is on sale right now. senator lindsey graham may have sent a warning to president trump when he questioned his supreme court nominee. ahead, the south carolina republican about judge gorsuch, the president's unproven wiretapping allegations and north korea. plus a famous play stumped a contestant on the wheel of fortune. you are watching "cbs this morning."

good morning. let's go to sonoma county where we have a traffic alert on westbound 37 at lakeville. a a solo car crash lights off causing that major backup. you're moving at 6 miles per hour. so give yourself extra time to get through there. moving to marin county, southbound 101, miller creek road solo car crash off the road but the backup remains to the delong avenue. so the maze to downtown across the span of the bay bridge will take 25 minutes. high winds out there and wet roads. southbound 880 expect major slowdowns from hayward to foster city. to fremont. avoid wet roads, bart, ace train, muni and caltrain all on time. roberta? >> thank you, roqui. what a storm that rolled through. i'm sure you heard it.

he suggested president trump could face impeevement if he pushes for illegal techniques like waterboarding. >> in case president trump is watching, which he very well may be, one, you did a good job of picking judge gorsuch. number two. here's the bad part. if you start waterboarding people, you may get impeached. is that a fair assumption? >> it belongs to this body. >> is he above the law? >> no man is above the law. >> senator joins us. good morning. >> that's a good way to wake up. good morning. i like jackie wilson too. that was a good call. >> you retain your title as the
8:32 am
fun yaft man in the senate. >> it's not a hard title to win. speaking of judge gore circumstance he's one of the most qualified people to ever be nominated. 2,700 cases to be decided frmgts overruled once by a supreme court. i never seen a man more qualified. i hope he gets 60 votes. if he doesn't, it means it would be a loss for the senate. >> you know how to count. will he get it? >> i think so. i think he's more than qualified. i voted for sold mayor and kagan because i thought they were qualified. they were great women of the law. they had a different perspective but judge gorsuch is a mainstream conservative and i've never seen anybody do better in a hearing. he's aquisted himself well. and the point i was trying to make is walterboarding is illegal under the detainee act. he acknowledged that. the president's backed off from waterboarding but nobody is above the law. >> so you're not expecting a
8:33 am
democratic fill buster? >> i hope not. if there is, that means qualifications no longer matter, it's only about politics and the only way you can vote against him is for political reasons not for politics and that means the election didn't matter. you know i voted for sotomayor and kagan because i thought president obama had the right to pick qualified people different than i would have chosen. i'm hoping my democratic colleagues will not change the rules of the senate because he's earned it with a life well lived. one reversal. well qualified by the american bar association. president trump could not have chosen better. this is one of the best people he could have chosen as a conservative in the entire country. >> you seem to be full of accolades with president trump's pip. but what about the editorial about president trump's resistance on the wiretapping
8:34 am
claims. when the president doesn't show more respect for the truth more machineries may conclude he's a fake president. your thoughts on that. >> i think the president accused president obama of a felony. he accused him of wiretapping his campaign. the fbi director said there was no evidence of such activity. the national security nsa director said the same thing. i think the burden is on president trump to justify those statements or to retract them. we live in a constitutional democracy. we live in a country where the rule of law does matter and when you have the highest official in the land, the president of the united states accusing his predecessor of illegal activity with no evidence that hurts our democracy. >> and if he refuses to back down? >> i think he will suffer over time with the american people. you know, the great movie love is never having to say you're sorry, what was that? "love story?" >> "love story."
8:35 am
>> here's what i would say to the president. it doesn't mean having to say you're sorry if you did something wrong. most americans would appreciate if the president had the ability to say i made a mistake, i'm sorry. if you can't do that, then that's going to hurt you over time with the american people because there will come a day when you'll have to look the tv in the eye and tell them north korea is about to develop a missile that will hit our home landland and i want to stop them. i think president trump is going to put his credibility at risk if he continues his narrative without proof. >> the president in a meeting said he was going to come after them if they didn't vote for this health care replacement bill. are you worried in the senate what he might say to you? >> i want to help president trump replace obamacare. obamacare has been a disaster in my state. we're down to one provider. people have insurance but it doesn't mean anything because it costs so much. let me tell you what won't work in washington.
8:36 am
when one politician tells another politician you have to vote for a bill because if you don't, you'll lose your job, most would say, that's not a good reason. i want to help popp replace and repeat obamacare but i will not vote for a bill because i believe it's better than obamacare and the last thing you want to tell lindsey graham, you have to pass this bill because i told you to. that's not called draining the swamp. they were afraid of president obama and his political machine and they voted for a bill they really didn't believe in and the rest is history. i don't intend to do that. to mark meadows from north carolina, the freedom caucus say nos to almost everything. i'm not a freedom caucus type person but in this case stick to your guns if you don't believe the american people. don't let any politician tell you you must vote for a bill or you'll lose your job because how
8:37 am
do you explain to the people you represent, the reason i voted for this bill is because i was afraid i would lose my job. that's not a good reason to do it. i certainly will not do it. >> appreciate your time. >> higher and higher. something like that. oscar winner matt damon is on a clean mission to bring clean water to more than 60 mill people around the world. higher and higher. he co-authored it with garry white and they're in the toy a ,
8:38 am
8:39 am
8:40 am
8:41 am
oscar winner matt damon is known for being a leading man in movies like "the marchand," "ocean "oceans eleven" and overs. but offscreen he's looking to bring water to people worldwide. >> he's teemed up with gary white. their goal is to help more than 660 million people without access to safe water. it lesset people in the developing world access small loans for watering connects or toilet. they help more than 5 million get water.
8:42 am
good morning, gents. great to see you. a great and important topic to be talking about, matt. people don't understand why water. >> it's hard for people to understand in the west because none of us have been stepthirst. we're steps away from clean water. there are public faucets we can accent. the water in our toilets are cleaner than that that the 660 million people have access to. that's our first hurdle to clear, just explaining to people here in our country that this is a problem because this is killing a child every 90 seconds. you know, which is really unconscionable in this day and age. >> this really came home to you on a trip to ethiopia, which is one of the countries that you're in, right? >> yeah. it's -- you know, we've run across these women and girls because it's primarily women and
8:43 am
girls who are affected by this disproportionately because the water collection will usually fall to them. so you have all of these girls who aren't in school because they're tasked with scavenging water for the family. you can see what that would do if their outcome or what they can expect from their life. not only is this unnecessarily killing children, but it's also really affecting their lives in other ways. it's robbing them of hope. >> what can be done? >> well, for one, we're celebrating world water day today and, you know, you're having us on to kind of try to help people become aware of this. >> so beyond recognition. >> well, beyond recognition and yoing going to water.org and learning more and making a donation, you know, for us, i mean i guess we can talk about water credit or talk about -- >> you are trying to raise $200 billion. >> for water equity. >> yes. >> in kind of a new way.
8:44 am
what are you looking at doerng here? >> first of all, one thing people can do very concretely, we're partnering with stella artois. what we're doing is looking at this from a completely different perspective. we know the people in these countries are already paying huge amounts of money for water and what we want to do is help them get access to small loans because we know there's never going to be enough charity to get water for everyone. i was in peru last week. i met a woman who took out a loan for a water connection to her house. before that she was having to walk down the mountainside to buy wateren from a water vendor, poor quality water. that water was costing her 13 times more per gallon than water she has in her tap. so you can see there are about 500 million people in the world who could get access to water and sanitation through small loans, we believe. that's the genesis of the water
8:45 am
credit, we believe. to go beyond philanthropy to investing. >> the great thing about these loans is they pay back at 99% and 94% are women. so what happens is the loans as they come back, they get sent out and recycle so you're driving down the philanthropic capital per person. normally like digging a well, it's about $25 to bring someone clean water for life. in our most mature programs we've got that down to $5 because the money keeps going out and coming back. >> do you have evidence that it's resonating aurjds the w0r78d? you've been to international conferences in places where it's complex, there are all kinds of wars going on and conflicts takig place. >> that's great question. i think all we can do is keep trying to get the word out and hope that it resonates. i do hope that certainly this generation of millennials is far more dialed into this stuff than
8:46 am
i was. our generation x, i think, was entirely out to lunch. but i think as our world gets more connected, people are a lot more aware of some of these things. >> do you feel we're at the precipice of a more national list america given what we're doing in certain sectors. >> or not. >> are you optimistic about america's role and people who want to engage? >> i'm always optimistic with americans and americans' role in the world irrespective of the administration and what they're doing. and, again, the foreign aid thing isn't a partisan thing. over the last four presidents was former president george bush. i remember being in africa and zambia and somebody coming out and hugging me and thought i was
8:47 am
an american and wanted to say thank you and said i'm alive. they had aids nlds were given life-saving medicine and that was all due to george w. bush. >> to travel and see -- to touch the people whose lives have been changed will forever change you as a person, i think. >> that's right. and i think foreign aid can get -- you know, it can get a bad wrap and people are told it's money down a rabbit hole. the water, for example, you get $8 back for every dollar invest and there's the whole national security piece. it was james mattis who said three or four years ago, if you cut this state department budget, you know, you've got to buy me more ammunition. this soft power or this -- it's
8:48 am
incredibly important. >> in a technological age -- and i need a quick answer here -- is it likely we'll figure a way for destall inization. >> we believe in taking approaches like water credit and equity fund we can use capital to get sanitation and water for the poor. >> thank you both for being here this morning. you're watching "cbs this morning." morning." we'll be right back.,,,,
