donate 1500 google employees worldwide plan to walk out of work to protest the company's handling of sexual misconduct claims. it showed how google paid millions of dollars to exit packages. the times says reuben, who righted the android mobile software was made $90 million. he said in a statement, he left google on his own accord in 2014. he cannot engage nor has ever been told of any misconduct at google or anywhere else. kate benner was a coauthor of the story and joins us at the table. we've been talking about this story all week. i'm curious because google's official code of conduct on their website ends with don't be evil and if you seeing some that you think isn't right, speak up. how does that play into this decision for the walkout today? >> sure. i think that a lot of people

come to google because they are idealistic and they do believe in this idea of the company standing forring some larger th -- for something larger than making money. to see this behavior condoned at the highest levels of the company has been upsetting for employees. and if you look at the $90 million payout to a single employee who has sexually assaulted money is incredible. >> there are specific demands that they want, right? >> that's correct. >> what are they? >> the employees are saying enough is enough. they want more transparency, they want the end to force arbitration especially in cases of sexual harassment. right now the company does force them to be in arbitration, which is a private process. they want an annual accountability report, transparency around harassment because they're looking at the fact that many, many executives have been fired for sexual harassment and misconduct and they had no idea. so they would like that as well. they also want a global, uniform

way to safely report sexual harassment because that currently doesn't exist. >> the company doesn't have that now? >> no. >> google executives have some explain doing. this is embarrassing, painful, and clearly mistakes were made. what can you tell us about how they're handling this? >> it's really interesting. ceo sundar has been extraordinary. he responded very strongly after the story came out. google did not push back on us in many ways on the story. we always do, we run all reports by the companies and give them fair warning. and in fact, he said we need to make a clean break with the past. >> didn't he say he supported people speaking out? >> and he supported the walkout today. what's important about that is by supporting the walkout and coming out in the statement, he's drawn a line in the sand that the employees can look at and hold him accountable too rather than not speaking at all. >> does going will have a women problem? 30% of their workforce is women,

the ceo is also a woman as well. do they have internal issues regarding diversity? >> i think a lot of employees would say that they do. even though they have women in high-level executive positions, i don't think that having a woman in a high-level executive position doesn't mean that you don't have a problem with gender discrimination. >> can we go back to the andy rubin issue? how can his public lis cyist sa not known about any of this? >> i would just say we give everybody a copy and we stand by our reporting. our reporter was able to find documentation, other -- you know, that the reporting we felt it was very strong. >> do the employees have confidence in the leadership, do you think? >> i think that's to be seen because there's a walkout today and then the response to the walkout. will the leadership comply with any of these desnands thmands i

want pay equity. google has refused to give out information about how men are paid versus women. i think once the employees have made the demands, if the company doesn't respond i think some of the good will that we see today will be lost. >> is there something specific about google and the way it's set up its board makes it difficult to make changes? >> it makes it very difficult to make changes, the board can't really remove them and do much to discipline them, so the employee pressure becomes really important. >> well, it's an important conversation to have and, as you said, the ceo is really saying that he hears all of this and he's supporting this walkout today. first step. thank you. >> thank you. well, parents in new jersey's most popular city are being warned not to let children drink the city's water.

four years after flint, michigan's water crisis captured nationwide attention, the new jersey city of newark also faces questions about his water supply. about 15,000 lead pipes provide water to homes in part of the city. they insisted that the water was safe but state testing found elevated lead levels. they're facing a lawsuit on behalf of a nonprofit on behalfful citizens there. anna, good morning. >> good morning, gayle.

roughly one quarter of newark kids under the age of six have detectible levels of lead in their blood, and any level of lead for children is dangerous. now, newark dealt with an issue of lead in water at some schools back in 2016, but city officials had assured residents they say that their city drinking water was safe. now they have questions for city hall. >> i was extremely upset, extremely upset. >> reporter: the water coming from yvette jordan's tap looks pure but she says it contains lead levels three times the rules. >> your water's fine, everything's fine. >> reporter: that's what you heard from the city? >> yes, through several robocalls, through press conference from our mayor, everything is fine. >> reporter: but the city is now telling residents in some areas their tap water is not fine. it contains lead above federal

guidelines. they're handing out these water filters and telling parents their babies and young children should not drink the water. the mayor says the problem comes from old water pipes found in some neighborhoods that leech lead into the drinking water. >> you is where some homes that have no lead in their water at all or very little lead and some homes that have elevated lead. our job to be prudent is to have somebody do a study and figure out what's going on. >> reporter: the study report came back last month and found a problem at one of the city's two water treatment plants. the methods used to stop lead from leeching into drinking water from those old pipes weren't working. >> we acted immediately to address what was happening. >> reporter: but eric olson with the nonprofit group natural resources defense counsel says the city's reports of lead in its water goes back to early 2017. >> the city has been in denial and shrugged their shoulders and should drink it until just a couple weeks ago after we sued

them and asked for an injunction on behalf of the citizens in newark to clean up the water. >> reporter: the group is suing the city for violating the federal drinking water law saying the lead levels are some of the highest of any large city nationally. a problem they compare to that of flint, michigan. >> a case similar to flint where the government was not telling people the truth. >> i take offense to that because what happened in flint is not what's happening here. >> are you worried that some children may now have been exposed to lead? >> well, i'm worried that our kids are exposed to lead all of the time. and -- >> from this. from the water. >> i think the water think is sexy and everybody's jumped on it because of flint. water's not contributed in any significant way to the elevated lead levels in our children's blood. lead-based paint and dust has done that in the city of newark, and i could suspect in many cities across america. >> reporter: the city says it's changing the way it treats water at the treatment plant that has

the problem. it's also embarking on a plan to replace lead water pipes, but that will take some time, possibly years to get all of that done. meanwhile, the nrdc's lawsuit is proceeding and yvette jordan's worker's group has joined in that lawsuit. >> and as we just heard concerns about drinking water are not just in newark and in flint, they're across the country. so if people at home are concerned, what should they do? >> reporter: one thing you can do is reach out to your local utility, find out what their tests have found. see if you can get information there, sometimes they post those online. there are some at-home water testing kits that you can also use, or you could call in a professional to help you with that. >> some really important tips. thank you. >> it's such an important story because we all know the data is clear, lead leads to intellectual brain delays and that's why i always remember that's the one test they really give all kids, you got to get the lead test because it's so serious.

there's new research with alarming results that's changing the way doctors treat cervical cancer. lap proscopic surgery is a less invasive procedure that involves a small incision in the april doe pollen. it led to a higher risk of death from cervical cancer and that's compared to patients who had a traditional hysterectomy. after the less invasive surgery, the kans wares four times more

likely to concern. some hospitals like johns hopkins in maryland, and md cancer center? texas have now switched back to the traditional surgery. our dr. david agos is an on colonel gifts and leads the ulc cancer center. he joins us from los angeles bright and early to discuss. always good to see you. let's start with this. if you hear less invasive, as a patient you think that's a great thing. why is that not the case in this particular procedure? >> less invasion means shorter hospitalization, less infection, and over the less decade was a dramatic move. but in this case obviously from this study we've learned and it was surprising, is that dramatically higher recurrence rate. and we think maybe it's because how you manipulate the tissue while you do this or you have to blow up the abdomen with air so you can see things. one of those cause the cancer to behave differently and we're seeing a negative effect on patients and it's pretty scary.

>> what's causing the cancer to reoccur her? >> we just don't know. and i think that's part of the problem is we don't know or else we could stop doing that. but clearly, you know, the fda regulates technology but not how we use it. so we as a medical community need to take a step back and say, listen, we got do studies to show that it's safe and the outcome is right before we use technologies across the country. >> i know you call this a wakeup call. do you think extends beyond cervical cancer? >> i certainly do. there's a move to do things quicker with technology and we have to step back and say does it make sense for the cancer? obviously if you're a patient you want the best cancer outcome. you want to be alive to play with your grandchildren. you don't care about an extra day or two in the hospital. so the key is that metric. >> so, david, stepping back makes sense except that surgeries still have to take place. what does one do now if one is a doctor and has trained on these less invasive techniques? >> i think we have to go back to the open procedure. doctors were trained on both, and they need to go back to the

way it's been done really until the last sector where this transition happened. but what about the patient? that patient over the last year or two had the lap proscopic surgery, they need to go back and talk to their doctor and say maybe my surveillance, you have to look about recurrence in me differently because i probably have a higher rate than you originally thought. >> but we know you're a proponent of technological innovation. what's this is a about science? >> you're right, i love technology and technology is going to be very important to make all of us live longer and better. but at the same time we need to vet technology. we need a process in place so we can use it correctly. we have to do the studies because they're not required now. we can use technology however we want when it's on the market. but you as a patient, me as a patient have to go to the doctor and say have there data that this actually is better than the standard procedure before we use the technology? >> all right, david. thank you. >> thank you. a texas mom who's gradation
