>> i already am. look. you take a look. you tell me. >> reporter: in a meeting with british prime minister theresa may, mr. trump assured reporters that the two leaders get along, despite dust-ups over terrorism and muslim extremism. >> i think the feeling is mutual from the standpoint of liking each other a lot. and so that was a little bit of a -- a false rumor out there. >> reporter: but mr. trump's main goal at davos is to put a business-friendly face on his "america first" message. >> i think the real message is, we want great prosperity. >> reporter: tomorrow, he'll tell this gathering of business elite to reform, not abandon, the international economic system, and he'll voice support for free-trade deals, despite withdrawing from one with asian pacific nations and threatening to abandon nafta. those types of protectionist measures led to a warning from germany's chancellor angela merkel, who said "isolationism will get us nowhere." and the president of france, emmanuel macron, seemed to joke about mr. trump's withdrawal from the paris climate change accords.

[ laughter ] >> reporter: and not all business leaders are receptive to president trump's message. tonight, legendary investor and well-known liberal philanthropist george soros called mr. trump "a threat to the world" and said u.s. institutions are the only thing preventing him from turning the country into a mafia state. closer to home, a 12-year-old boy from florida is the latest victim of the flew epidemic that's sweeping the nation. in all, at least 30 children have died from complications of the virus this season. manuel bojorquez reports. >> reporter: at least 30 children have died from the flu this season. the latest is believed to be a boy in palm beach county, florida. manuel bojorquez has more on this. >> reporter: mike medwin met us

new patients. dr. jaime snarski says beds have even been set up in conference rooms to accommodate them. >> we're seeing about 20 to 40 patients more than our normal this time of year. so that's a lot. >> reporter: you must be thinking, where's the peak? are we even there yet? >> yeah, we've been busy, so you wonder, is it going to get worse? when will it start petering off? we just don't know at this time. >> reporter: pediatric centers like this one are also busy. and while it's an aggressive flu season, it's not the deadliest. no reason to panic, doctors say, but still, time to get a flu shot. jeff. the battle against opioid abuse has moved to the courts and the halls of congress. more than 200 lawsuits have been filed against drugmakers for their role in the crisis, and a pharmaceutical companies are fighting back. >> now i can enjoy every day that i live. i can really enjoy myself.

ags have risen in the past three years, totaling almost $700,000 to democrats and over $1.7 million to republicans. the contributions are legal, but they allow companies to gain access to the ags at exclusive meetings, golf outings, and high-end dinners, where they can urge ags not to sue. >> i think it's very problematic. >> reporter: professor paul nolette is a state government expert. >> those under investigation, trying to influence the investigator by giving large amounts of money. they're not doing so out of the goodness of their heart or out of charity. >> reporter: opioid manufacturers and distributors spent over $100,000 to partially sponsor this meeting in san francisco. >> well, that was really something else, the opening dinner last night. >> reporter: last year at a dinner at this georgia resort, top corporate donors even got preferred seating with attorneys general. and at a meeting at this oregon hotel last spring, two opioid companies who had given the

democratic ag association a combined $65,000 got to speak on a panel, and told a group that they were not responsible for the opioid crisis, according to several attendees. while there are nationwide rules for congressional lobbyists, there aren't any when it comes to lobbying state ags. those lobbyists don't have to say how much they're being paid or who they're meeting with. >> there's going to be real questions about whether that money ended up influencing how the ags conducted their settlement. >> reporter: both the republican and democratic ag associations told us it's important they hear from a wide variety of voices, including advocacy groups. purdue pharma declined our request for an on-camera interview, but said they're deeply troubled by the opioid crisis and are committed to working collaboratively to help solve it. the "cbs overnight news" will be right back.

more of an editorial bent to what you're saying, a little more finger waving content because of the issues we all know are under way. >> and that's true. and the reason it's true is that there wasn't the urgent need that there is now for a bit of finger waving. in the service of trying to tell the truth, when you see what's happening, like for example, if you don't actually represent that, you are disporting what the reality is. >> reporter: the reality expands each time one of these series hits the air. some type of previously untilled or newly discovered animal behavior. the giant fish that leaps out of water to snag birds in mid-air. the tusk fish that is so clecher it uses tools, bringing clams back to its kich on the smash them open. and the submarine that can

follow squid down 3,000 feet. pr the producer saw what happens when the squid run out of fish. >> as happens so many times in the deep ocean, when this happened -- >> they turn on each other. >> when they don't have enough fish to feed on, they need on each other. this has never been filmed before in the deep. and this whole thing played out in front of us. >> it's beautiful. it's surprising. it's not trying to sell you anything here. it's not wanting your vote. >> reporter: you're also saying, we're wrecking it, we're losing it. >> we are. but that follows after the first bit. i don't make that change to the program because i think we have a moral to do so. i'm happy a lot of people feel the same. but those kind of people, because they feel the same, also want to be told it straight.
