of icbm, one with much greater range. north korean state tv triumphantly announced the launch of its new missile, the hwasong 15, and showed kim jong-un signing the launch order. the missile appears to be a more advanced version of the hwasong 14, which north korea twice tested in july. during wednesday's launch, the new missile was purposely lofted high into space and reached a maximum altitude of 2800 miles. analysts say fired on a standard trajectory the missile could travel approximately 8100 miles, far enough to hit anywhere in the united states. >> it went higher, frankly, than any previous shot they have taken. it's a research and development effort on their part to continue building ballistic missiles that can threaten everywhere in the world. >> six minutes after north korea's test, south korea fired three missiles off its east

coast. a reminder that it could attack the north launch sites if needed. >> it is a situation that we will handle. >> reporter: president trump labeled kim jong-un's regime a state sponsor of terror. despite its claims of a useable weapon, it's still not known if the north's new missile could support an actual nuclear warhead and survive re-entry into the earth's atmosphere. but analysts say the regime keeps making progress. >> i think they have an absolute terror of u.s. attack, so i think they feel like they have to accelerate their testing as fast as possible so they have a weapon system that they feel will deter us. >> north korea has now launched at least 20 missiles this year. this last one they launched in the middle of the night and with a mobile launch pad, making it much harder to detect. norah. >> ben tracy in tokyo, thank you. we have breaking news involving a major media figure. nbc news has fired long-time

"today" show host matt lauer over inappropriate sexual behavior in the workplace. nbc news chairman andy lack sent an e-mail to staff this morning saying on monday night they received a detailed note from a colleague about sexual misconduct in the workplace. he wrote it was the first complaint about his behavior in his over 20 years at nbc news, but he said they received information that it may not be an isolated incident. savannah guthrie announced the firing this morning on the "today" show with hoda kotb at her side. she promised that more details will be reported as they emerge. lauer's firing comes a week after cbs fired charlie rose following allegations of sexual harassment at the charlie rose show. i worked at nbc many years. >> i know you did. >> and i know that savannah is grappling with this and it's difficult for them as well. >> it's unfortunate to look at because i look at that picture and i have a sickening feeling

of deja vu because we're dealing with our own situation here. but it does send the message and shows that you are not too big to fall, that there is now clearly a no zero tolerance policy. and i think that that's a good thing. as painful as this is, when it happens to someone that we know and we care about. so i take no joy in this. none of us do at this table. it's just a very sad situation all the way around. but i think everybody is sending a very powerful message and encouraging women to speak up. >> agreed. >> people are listening and they believe you and that is important. >> agreed. >> difficult. >> absolutely. tampa police are holding a suspect this morning in the hunt for a suspected serial killer. howell emanuel donaldson, known as trey, is charged with four counts of first-degree murder. officers detained him at a mcdonald's in tampa yesterday. it is less than three miles from the seminole heights neighborhood where all four recent murders happened. manuel, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. police believe trey donaldson

works or previously worked at this mcdonald's. over the past two months, they have received more than 5,000 tips in this case, but it was a tip yesterday afternoon from an employee of this mcdonald's that led to the 24-year-old's arrest. >> tonight we're bringing someone to justice who doesn't deserve the right to walk amongst us. >> reporter: nearly two months after the first killing in seminole heights, tampa police swarmed this mcdonald's to arrest trey donaldson. gail rogers said she worked with the suspect at mcdonald's. >> he wasn't like us. we was like a family there, a real family. we fight, we yell and have fun. he didn't do that. you say something to him he didn't like, he's just like a different person. >> reporter: the string of murders has left the seminole heights neighborhood on edge for weeks. the four victims were all killed within a few blocks of each other while walking alone. according to the police affidavit, positional data pulled from donaldson's phone place him near those locations around the times of the murders.

the affidavit also states clothing recovered from his vehicle is similar to clothing seen in the surveillance videos. donaldson is from the tampa area but also has connections to new york. the nypd confirms he was arrested in manhattan in 2014, but would not say for what. he also attended st. john's university in queens. tampa bay bob buckhorn said the arrest will hopefully bring justice. >> 51 days ago i said this was a struggle between good and evil. well, tonight goodness has won. >> police listed a .40 caliber smith & wesson handgun in donaldson's arrest records. according to an affidavit, that matches the casings found at the scene of the first three murders. the affidavit also says that donaldson purchased a box of smith & wesson ammunition on october 7th. that's two days before the first murder. >> very glad they made an arrest

willing to endorse the bill, including reinstating the deduction for property taxes up to $10,000. collins had expressed concerns about repealing obamacare's individual mandate, but said she was able to reach an agreement to help people with pre-existing conditions and to lower premiums. another holdout, tennessee's bob corker said he was encouraged by an agreement with gop leaders to limit the tax plan's impact on the debt. >> we don't hit the targets laid out. >> reporter: he had pushed for a fiscal trigger that would eliminate some of the tax cuts if the bill fails to stimulate economic growth. president trump left a luncheon with senate republicans upbeat about the bill's chances. >> somewhat of a lovefest. they want to see it happen. >> reporter: there were even more fireworks yesterday in the fight over funding the government. democratic leaders nancy pelosi and chuck schumer pulled out of a planned meeting with the president at the last minute after he tweeted that he didn't

expect that there would be a deal. in response, the president set up a photo op at the meeting to show the democrats' empty seats, even having the republican leaders sit farther away from him to accommodate that image. >> nancy cordes on capitol hill, thank you. congressman john conyers faces growing pressure from fellow democrats to resign over allegations of sexual misconduct. the 88-year-old is back in his home district of michigan this morning. he is already under investigation by the house ethics committee. his former deputy chief of staff, deanna maher accuses conyers of harassing her during the 1990s. now 77, she claims there were three instances of sexual misconduct. two that would be considered a sexual assault. >> he stuck his hand up my dress and whispered in my ear, "i didn't think you had great legs before." i didn't report it. i knew and everybody knows it

he tweeted this morning, this situation will be handled. north korean state media released a statement calling the missile the most powerful icbm the country has test. north korean leader kim jong un says it completes the stated clear force the missile flew 53 minutes, landed in the sea of japan. maximum altitude about 2800 miles. experts say if it was fired on a standard trajectory it could travel about 8,100 miles, and that could reach washington, d.c. or anywhere else in the continental u.s. president trump says the u.s. will handle the threat, but he did not say how. republicans could bring a tax reform plan to the senate floor today after it cleared a key committee. at least nine gop senators ex pressed concern about the bill. republicans can only afford to lose two votes. their concerns include repealing obamacare's individual mandate, taxes on small businesses and property tax deductions. four republican senators say they're worried about adding to the country's $20 trillion debt.

one of them is oklahoma's james langford. he joins us now from capitol hill. senator, good morning. >> good morning to you. >> let me ask you about one of your chief concerns. every estimate i have seen shows that the senate tax care plan would add to the debt about half a trillion dollars in debt, even if you have modest economic growth. will you vote for a plan that adds to the debt? >> so what i have done is over the last couple of days is been able to work with leadership and with committees to say how can we create a back stop behind us. the eps mats we have -- again, we have lots of estimates out there, some saying above and some below the number need. i asked for a back stop to be in place to say in case the economic numbers are not reached there will be a way tree cover some of the revenue also. so i'm on board with this bill because i want to see the good economic growth that's coming with it but i want to make sure we are protecting future taxpayers as well in debt and deaf september. >> i hear what you say, that back stop that some people are

calling a trigger, in other words if the economic growth doesn't come it would trigger higher taxes. the u.s. chamber of commerce is asking how would a trigger operate once a recession hits. >> correct. so what we're writing into the language is a protection from recession. there's two -- well, there's really two aspects. let me say this, we're writing in a protection and recession, so if there's a recession the trigger turns off. the second part is if we do a large tax cut and broaden the base of what is happening economically we better not have a recession at that point. that should charge the economy. i think some of the concerns about a pending recession after doing tax cuts are unfounded but we're building language in to make sure we protect it either way because obviously i don't want to have it either. you don't want to have a situation where you're in recession and taxes go up. we're not talking about a large tax increase, we're talking small things tararound the edgeo guard against future losses in increte in deficit. both can be done. >> senator, let me ask you about

middle class folks. people making under $75,000 a year would see a tax hike in 2027 if these tax cuts aren't renewed. meanwhile, the corporate tax cut is permanent. why not make the tax cuts for middle class individuals permanent as well? >> because of washington scoring, that's why. that's the frustration we have all along with the scoring requirements running the bills that we do. the way you have to set it up, it has to meet certain standards in certain time periods. we can make the business aspects permanent which is important to us. you have to have consistency for business to plan for the future for capital investment. the individual rates are not permanent, but that is exactly like what was done in 2001, and then they were renewed in 2011 and made permanent. i would assume we would have something very similar to that with this one, that ten years out we would also renew those and be able to keep going on it. you need to be able to protect rates, to protect the economic growth. the way you do that is from the business side in advance planning. >> senator, can you help us understand, every time we talk

to politician about the tax plan we get a lot of numbers. i feel like my head is going to pop out because you hear the conflicting information. can you explain why this is good for the middle class and that it doesn't benefit the wealthy in america? just in one on twor sentences would be great. >> i tell the people back home the most confusing thing about washington is getting the accurate number. best thing we can do in this situation is allow businesses to have more of their money to hire more people, buy more equipment and invest in new ways and allow people in the middle class to have more money for savings and spending. that increases economic activity around the country, which gives more people jobs and they are paid more. more income happens back and forth in buying and selling. the economy has been stuck for 10 years at 2% growth. historically america has grown at 3%. we have to get to a normal healthy economy again. it is a way to bump the economy to get it growing and healthy again.

>> i want to ask you about one of the other big headlines today and that's north korea. i know you're on the senate intelligence committee. we saw yesterday that the north koreans have made huge technological advances including the fact that this missile could reach washington, d.c., also that they can fuel this thing very quickly before perhaps we could launch a preemptive strike. how much does that concern you? >> it should concern everyone in the united states and the entire world community. the u.n. security council is meeting today to talk about it. china released a statement that was dead set against it. russia released a statement saying this is a provocative act from north korea. the entire world is reaching to north korea and saying stop, slow down. you are intentionally trying to provoke a conflict in the days ahead. >> if that warhead, excuse me, that missile launched yesterday had a warhead on it, are you convinced our intelligence would have been good enough to take it out preemptively? >> first thing wouldn't necessarily be intelligence but quick response. we have four different thaad

missile high altitude missiles in south korea to be able to shoot down a missile. we have others around the pacific rim to be able to attack it once it goes up. that missile was in the air for 53 minutes, so rapid response, you have a couple of minutes to think through, plan, strategize what you are going to do and launch counter measures on it. it is a significant distance but you do have time to respond. >> senator, thank you for joining us. >> thank you. is uber riding on more than its success? nick thompson is in our toyota green room with explosive games that uber is spying and stealing from rivals using former cia

five-time grammy winner bruno mars tells us about his next big smile stone. >> were you nervous about a

it surfaces in a lawsuit accusing the ride hailing giant swiping technology from waymo. >> a federal judge delayed the trial yesterday, accusing uber's lawyers of withholding the letter. in a statement, they told "cbs this morning" none of the testimony changes the merit also of the case. jacobs himself said on the stand that he was not aware of anywaymo secrets being stolen. cbs contributor nicholas thompson is editor in chief of "wired." he joins us at the desk. good morning. >> good morning. >> why is uber suing for a billion dollars? >> one of the top engineers that helped design uber's self-driving cars, left, downloaded uber's proprietary technology on the top of the thing that sprays lasers that is techno logically complex, downloaded the information about that, and shortly thereafter created a new company quickly acquired by uber. google thinks he took all of their technology and brought it

to uber. that's why they brought the case. >> how does the case look to you? you've been spending a lot of time looking at it. you talked to uber lawyers last night. what is your take? >> my general take on the kois is the actual departure of anthony lewandowski seems really dark. >> it is a bit of a coincidence. >> on the other hand, we have investigated for a long time and there's no smoking gun. there is no direct piece of google technology in the uber self-driving cars. so it actually looks really dark behavior, but that uber has a pretty good chance much winning the case until this bombshell yesterday. >> yeah, but we've learned a lot about how uber operates, right? >> that was the amazing thick yesterday. the letter says at uber we had a secret division with cia employees, we had way also of sending messages to each other that would be immediately deleted. we had all of the computers off the uber system that we would use, only the dummies would use the regular uber computers.

so that could explain why all of this information could have been taken from google and not discovered in the trial. >> you said there's no smoking gun, but is it a black eye for uber? >> i don't know if uber has enough eyes to have them all be black at this point. i mean the hack last week was a black eye. this is about the 100th black eye for uber. on the other hand, uber has a defense here. they say this guy jacobs, he walked back on some of the letter. it was written by his letter, he only reviewed it for 20 minutes on the holidays, so maybe it has exaggeration in it. not only that, lots of companies have systems to send messages so they're immediately delivered. >> waymo is weighing in saying the evidence brought to light is significant and troubling. how could the evidence impact the trial? >> i think it is going to change the perception of uber, and the judge is saying, wait a second, how can i trust you. >> yes. >> if you have this letter and it has this information about this detailed spying organization and you didn't give it to me, this letter was

written last spring and we've been working on this, how can anybody trust anything you say? to which uber's response is, look, the letter doesn't actually say that much and it is not about waymo. it is just about uber and, in fact, we had discovery and the letter didn't show up because it doesn't have any particular search terms that we would look for. >> as a juror on a case you raise reasonable doubt there, nick. >> yes. >> go to law school or something. thank you, nick thompson. good to have you at the table. a retired navy admiral is fighting his most personal war ahead. admiral sandy winifeld on the opioid epidemic and the tremendous toll it has taken on his own family. hello, mary winfeld. good to see you too. why he thinks it is a national security issue. and coming up next, dare devils who know how to board a plane after it takes off. yikes. you are watching "cbs this morning." we will be right back. ♪ right back. 4

is beginning to become aware that there is an epidemic. we need to do a will the better job of understanding the exact nature of the epidemic. >> let's talk about jonathan. you dropped him off school. three days later you get the phone call. you thought everything was okay, he was getting better. tell us a little bit about his history. >> john was a really good killed, well liked by his teammates, friends and the like but grew up with anxiety. and was misdiagnosed as attention deficit. he was prescribed atterol, which started him down the road to self medication. one of three what i call gateway trin points into addiction, a physical injury that gets over prescribed. another is self medication and third is the party entry. john went through 15 months of in-patient therapy and did a really good job. he got his emergency medical technician qualification. he was bright eyed, bushy tailed and ready to go to school. that molecule had burrowed itself deeply in his brain.

>> three days later you get the call. >> most shocking call of my life. we thought he was on such an up ward trajectory. he was really excited to be at school, excited to be having his emergency medical technician qualification and it fooled us. it really fooled us. >> admiral, thank you for your service and all that you and mary have done for this country. and then also for sharing this personal struggle. because i know you're trying to continue your service to this country and the people you help. what we're learning about your beautiful son, john, too, is what we're learning about the brain. how highly susceptible the brain is to dependency. you wrote about those gateways. being prescribed adderol and using alcohol to come down from the adderol and marijuana. what do we know about that in the brain? >> there's an awful lot of research and certainly associated a lot of

controversies with that. but everything i've come to understand is that marijuana doesn't necessarily cause opioid addiction but makes the brain more welcoming to the morphine molecule that burrows itself into the brain. there's important medical uses for both opioid and marijuana but we need to be cautious with this and it makes sense to reexamine the legal age for marijuana. it's much more potent than when we were growing up as kids. it warrants a lot of research and the impact it's having especially on young people. >> even if you can get off, whether it's the alcohol, drugs that you're using, the brain is constantly craving it. >> lifelong battle. and the brain literally changes. and we were able to watch over 15 months while jonathan's brain recover ed. he turned back into our son. it was remarkable to see. he went out and got his emergency medical technician qualificati qualification. it was touchdown, this kid is back. >> you said you were blinded by

the optimism that you missed the signs of the relapse. what did you miss? >> we took him up to the mountains to a house for the weekend before he went into school. and he was restless and sweating and shifty. and we just attributed it to maybe too high of a dose of medication for his anxiety and also his nervousness about going to school. because he had just written this powerful essay about wanting to help people who had the same situation he had. when, in fact, he was probably experience symptoms of withdrawal, because he hadn't had the drug in a few days, because he was with us. >> and tell us why you think this is a national security issue. >> it's a national security issue for a couple of reasons. one, cost. there's tremendous medical costs associated with this. there's tremendous loss of productivity in the workplace. the original estimate was around $70 billion a year. the white house recently revised that to over over.

it is a national emergency and needs to be treated as such, needs to be funded as such and we need to have some thoughtful approaches to how we tackle them all, all of which are interrelated. you can't do one without the other or you fail. >> admiral, your piece in "the atlantic" was heartbreaking. i'm struck by how difficult you said it was to find adequate treatment for jonathan. >> there are hosts of treatment centers all over the country. they all do different things. they are all specialized in maybe one particular thing. the hardest thing for us was to find a place that would treat the dual diagnosis of anxiety, some sort of mental illness, and addiction. those are two things that have to be treated together very carefully. not every facility does that. and, unfortunately, in our case, the military medical system wouldn't pay for that. >> how are you able to do this, sandy? this happened in september. you guys just had to go through

thanksgiving without him. christmas is coming. how are you able and why are you doing it? >> a couple of things. this is part of our recovery. jonathan, in this powerful essay he wrote as a newcoming freshman into denver university said he wanted to help other people with this problem. we want to carry his mission forward if we can. we have the ability to do that with very generous friends who have helped us with the intellectual and financial piece with this. we started up a website that's called safeproject.us in its embryonic form. >> mike morell and his wife were the first to come to you. >> i was rushing back to boston to be with mary and they generously came over. >> you really need friends at a tame like that. >> thank you for highlighting. we have a tradition in the military of doing a challenge coin. instead of prayer cards we did a

challenge coin for jonathan. i would like to give each of you one. >> take a look at that. thank you so much, admiral. appreciate it. grammy winner bruno mars ahead. first a check of your local weather. it's 8:41. weather at 8:41.
