gm -- brutal. >> former campaign chairman paul manafort denied meeting wikileaks four inches tall. >> all that matters. >> other than hiring my man john batiste as your band leader how are you using your white privilege to combat prejudice? instead of hosting, stephen colbert took questions as a guest on "the late show" last night. >> thank you for taking this seriously. >> on "cbs this morning." >> general motors is cutting 14,000 jobs and shutting

factories in four states. >> general motors chose their words carefully. not saying they were closing the lordstown plant but not saying they were allocating product to the plant in march. >> look, i'm not ending the relationship, i'm just not allocating any love for you after march. hard to sugar-coat a layoff, right? >> a new way to break up, i think that's funny. but what's really funny is charlemagne talk og to stephen colbert about white privilege. >> stephen colbert getting a taste of what it's like to be on the couch, not the one asking questions. >> the gang's all back. good morning, investigators are saying that the lion air boeing 737 jet that crashed in indonesia last month should not have been in the air because of a series of equipment problems. they questioned the airline's maintenance and safety

procedures and the pilots' response in the air. a report issued overnight show as horrifying struggle to control the plane before the crash that killed all 189 passengers and crew. in its final moments the captain reportedly asked to be cleared to 5,000 feet and reported a flight control problem. >> now there are about 250 of these 737 max jets that are in service around the world. u. carriers, southwest, american and united, operate almost 50 of them. now boeing has orders pending for nearly 5,000 more. kris van cleave is atganaal out washington. kris, good morning. >> good morning. a seasoned investigator will tell you it is never one single thing that results in an accident like this. it is a combination of factors that lead to tragedy. and this report shows that investigators are focusing in on at least three things. the maintenance of the airplane, the pilots' actions as they tried to understand what was

happening. and this safety system that boeing added to the 737 max that was supposed to prevent an accident. >> there we go. >> it took retired airline captain ross aymer just seconds in a 737 simulator to execute the steps that could have saved lion air flight 610. >> i have the aircraft under control. >> steps the pilots should have known to do, but didn't. >> if they had immediately followed the procedure without hesitation, turned off the, the cut-off switches, this may not have happened. >> within seconds of taking off, the pilots were locked in a battle for control of the brand-new 737 max 8. according to the plane's flight data recorder, a new anti-stall system known as amcast automatically pushed the plane's nose down more than two dozen times during the 11-minute flight before the pilots lost control. >> they were clearly on edge, they didn't know what was going on. >> aeronautical engineer peter

lemon studied this flight data. >> why the crew would sit there, you know over 20 times and fight it, rather than disabling it, is a question you know we would all like to know. >> investigators believe a faulty sensor that had failed on three previous flights triggered amcast, it was replaced, but failed again. >> it should have been fixed before theft again. >> it appears the crew on the previous flight deactivated amcast after the sensor failed. boeing added m-cast to the max, but did not specifically highlight it in pilot manuals. >> they decided well this was not important enough to note. and it turns out it was very important. >> boeing says the pilots' response should have been the same in a 737 with m-cast or without it. so they didn't necessarily need to know about the anti-stall system to prevent a crash. indonesian investigators say they have not found the cockpit voice recorders and that could be critical to understanding what was happening in the cockpit between the pilots. >> good point, kris, thank you

so much. so frightening when you think about the terror that those people knew because they knew they were in trouble to see the pilots struggling, that's what's so frightening. >> and the information was in the manual according to boeing and the pilots didn't know about it. i think we're going to have to learn more about this story. >> those pilots were fighting for all of those 11 minutes, that's what's so terrifying to me. the chinese scientist who claims to have created the world's first genetically-edited baby reveals another woman in the study is possibly pregnant. he jiankui made the comments at a summit overnight. his work has drawn worldwide condemnation, he says it's now on hold. our dr. tara narula is here with what we're learning about the research that many experts call unethical. >> the head of the summit called dr. he's study irresponsible. among the concern is his lack of transparency and questions of whether his parents properly consented. but overnight, he doubled down

and defended his work. audience members applauded at scientist he jiankui tookhe stage at a gene editing summit in hong kong. soon after he was peppered with questions, many of which he appeared unable or unwilling to answer. >> the genotype may quite effect their upbringing. >> i don't know how to answer this question. >> in videos posted to youtube this week, the doctor claim he had successfully edited the genetic code of twin girls while they were embryos, he said he used a gene-editing tool called crispr to eliminate a gene that makes people vulnerable to hiv. and the embryos were implanted into the mother. >> lulu and nana came crying into the world. >> jennifer doudna is a

co-editor of the crispr tool. she watched the doctor speak. >> i think we need to understand the motivation for the study and what the process was for informed consent. >> dr. he had said wednesday all the couples involved in the study consented. he provided an example of the consent form, which described the study as an aids vaccine negative. experts say some of the risks with this particular gene development project. >> how did you recruit these editing is the possibility of coing otr viruses. such as west nile. is a profess couples into your study? >> hiv and aids volunteer he arv of biochemistry. he's worried about how he's study will affect other research. >> ultimately we want to make reproductive editing available to people who do have devastating diseases. and i just hope this doesn't set us backwards. >> dr. he claims he paid for all the patients' medical treatments himself and is under investigation by his university, the chinese government and the hospital he claims gave him ethical approval for the trial. the doctor says the second potentially pregnant woman in the study is being monitored closely. >> yesterday you brought up a lot of questions, a lot of

experts agree with you today that this was not a good thing. >> a lot of controversy swirling around this. >> the technology can be good for the future. >> but the secrecy, the lack of sp. >> and that hed if s huge, and not be stopped somewhere. >> that's right. >> thanks very much. president trump says he wants to general motors for its restructuring plan that could cut up to 14,000 jobs and close five auto plants. the president tweeted a threat to scrap gm's government subsidies, though it's unclear if he has the power to do that on his own. gene reynolds is at a gm dealership in chicago. dean, good morning. >> good morning, the white house has told gm that the president feels betrayed by the company's decision. many of those job cuts could fall in areas of the midwest, where candidate trump campaigned on reviving manufacturing. >> holiday season layoffs from gm -- brutal.

brutal. >> frustration at the white house over general motors' decision to idle five north american plants boiled over to anger. >> seems like gm would rather build its electric cars in china rather than in the united sta s states. >> leading to a threat from the president, who tweeted -- we are now looking at cutting all gm subsidies, including for electric cars. just minutes after that presidential warning, wall street responded. with gm stocks dipping down for as the president's tweet. >> they should have done this a long time ago. >> automotive industry expert jean jennings says gm's controversial decision was not surprising. >> we're on the cusp of a new age of transportation. and that transportation will be electric, it will be autonomous. >> as gm looks to the future, in detroit -- >> we're still trying to figure out what exactly this might mean for us. >> the hamtramck community is rfrlging on the sacrifices it

made to welcome gm in the 1980s. >> there was a viable neighborhood of thousands of houses. create complex. >> gm said in a statement, many of the u.s. workers impacted by these actions will have the opportunity to shift to other gm plants. >> they can be cold, just the way it is, nature of the business. >> while some workers were numb to the cuts, others felt fear for their future. >> hell, honestly it's like what, like -- i don't know what to do next. >> now not surprisingly, the united auto workers union is not happy with gm's decision. uaw president gary jones urged the automaker to quote invest in the american citizens who invested in you. >> dean reynolds, thank you. former trump campaign % chairman paul manafort is strongly denying any connection

with wikileaks founder julian assan assange. a british newspaper reports manafort had secret meetings with assange before his website published emails from hillary clinton's campaign. wikileaks is also denying the story. paula reid is at the white house. is special counsel robert mueller zeroing in on this idea that somebody in the trump campaign had contacts with wikileaks? >> he is indeed, overnight we got new details about exactly how and why mueller is honing in on wikileaks. we've learned that the special counsel is looking closely at whether or not any of the president's associates had advance knowledge or coordinated with wikileaks on its release of hacked emails during the 2016 campaign. specifically, the special counsel is looking at email exchange between trump campaign adviser roger stone and his associate, jerome coursey, they were discussing possibly reaching out to wikileaks clunder julian assange in order

ecial unsel also ing at whether or not t two men coordinated with wikileaks to help them release the trove of democratic emails that came out shortly after the "access hollywood" tape was released. now both coursey and stone have adamantly denied any knowledge of wikileaks' efforts to release these emails. >> paula there have been twists and turns, it feels like in the last couple of days. let's step back. what does the latest machinations tell us about what mueller is up to and what his timeline might be? >> well john i've learned not to try to even read the tea leaves, because special counsel robert mueller is a man of secrets and surprises. what we do know from our reporting is he is currently grappling with a very unique problem. many of the witnesses he needs to cooperate with him have an incentive not to cooperate because this case offers the possibility of a presidential pardon. so when it comes for example to manafort, the white house dismissed any talk yesterday of a presidential pardon. but we know that manafort's

lawyers are talk together president's lawyers about his efforts with the special counsel and that sets him up pretty well for a possible pardon at the end of all of this. >> paula reid at the white house, thanks. social media video shows that witnesses believed police had killed the wrong person when they shot a black man at an alabama shopping mall on thanksgiving. three gunshot victims can be seen in the video, including ej grasper. police have offered shifting explanations for why they mistook bradford for an active shooter. protesters gathered last night at the mayor's home to demand answers. mark strasman is outside police headquarters south of birmingham. mark, good morning. >> good morning, we've been pushing for answers in this police shooting, but state investigators won't comment while the case is still active. and hoover police, despite a pledge of transparency, never got back to us. but in their latest statement, they insisted that bradford was holding his gun, when they first

responded to mall. >> they shot that man down for no reason. >> witness video shows the aftermath. ej bradford, shot by police at roy g a gun license eria and everything. >> bradford was armed. the 21-year-old had a legal concealed weapons permit. at first, police in hoover, alabama insisted he had wounded two people earlier at the mall. they quickly back-pedalled. bradford was not the gunman, the real gunman remains at large. at birmingham 16th street baptist church, a civil rights landmark, the bradford family's anger and frustration was shared by several hundred supporters. it was too much for april pipkins, the victim's mother she collapsed in grief. emantic bradford senior is his father. >> i got to bury my baby boy and

it hurts me to my core. being at home every day ain't going to be no fun. because i won't have my child. >> bradford family attorney ben crump argues ej was killed because police saw a black man holding a gun. >> there's some suggestion that to stop the bad guys with guns, we need to have the good guys with guns. well, ej bradford was a good guy with a gun! >> bradford's family is demanding the public release of all videotape that was taken at the mall, including whatever was recorded by the shooting officers' body camera. witnesses have told the family that bradford was actually trying to guide bystanders to safety when he was shot. when you're around the family, you can feel just how raw their pain is. >> we all feel it here in the studio. the mom passing out for grief, the dad who was, who is a police

officer, was a police officer. and i think the attorney pot.amin crump makes a peop say gy with a gun -- he was a good guy with a gun who was trained. >> an army veteran. they should release that video and it should be transparent. because we all need to learn from this. >> implicit bias about this story. there's a lot more on this story, i think. >> interesting that they won't release the video, that says a lot. an nfl linebacker who was fired after his arrest on domestic violence charges may get another chance with a new team. reuben foster was arrested saturday night in tampa. he's accused of slapping a woman on the face. and scratching her collar bone. the san francisco 49ers let him go the next day. but now the washington redskins have added foster to their roster. the redskins say they understand the severity of the recent allegations, and foster will go through numerous steps before he can play. the nfl has put foster on an exempt list, which means he

cannot practice or attend games. i think it raises a lot of questions. a postal service program notifications on deliveries could be opening the door to thieves, ahead how so-called porch pirates can use the

you could be sitting in a coffee shop on your phone and see what mail you're getting later that day. >> this man discovered this service. >> in how many minutes? >> the last time we did a tester, it took two and a half minutes. >> reporter: they have questions like past cities and streets of where they lived and the sale price of their home. >> the information could be on the dark web. it's being collected by companies that collect and sell data. this kind of information is also oftentimes available on social media. >> reporter: that can allow scammers to sign up with your name and address but their e-mail. now the secret service warns criminals can take advantage of informed delivery to intercept mail and to further their identity theft fraud schemes. >> it enables a fraudster to commit the fraud.

>> reporter: chris to orktorrac signed up for this and entinte t interceptors used it to steal his mail. >> when they saw there was something delivered, they proceeded to follow the postal person. >> reporter: users can opt out from on-line informed delivery and warns their suspects are watching. >> informed delivery is a criminal's worst nightmare because we are continually monitoring for any suspicious behavior. anyone who misuses our products, we're going to detect that. we're going to shut down the accounts and we're going to conduct an investigation to bring that criminal to justice. >> reporter: the postal service stresses that the actual informed delivery database has never been hacked. they also say the best way to protect yourself just might be to sign up using your own e-mail

president feels betrayed by the decision. >> seems like gm would rather build its electric cars in china rather than the united states. police insisted that bradford was holding his gun. >> i've got to bury my baby boy. it hurts me to the core. the special counsel is looking at whether or not any of the president's associates had advanced knowledge or coordinated with wikileaks on its release of hacked e-mails. >> gayle king is showing her sense of humor by recreating bikini snaps from her 22-year-old niece during their thanksgiving family trip to puerto rico. >> gail said, quote, who did it best? she also pointed out that her son and daughter wanted none of it. this. that's my favorite son and >> my son and daughter are walking around with paper bags

over their heads but mckenzie and i had a great time. she said aunt gail, put your hand here and left leg over here. i think you should laugh at yourself. it's all good. >> i'll never be the same when i listen to chris isaac again. >> you're welcome, bianna. >> beautiful image. >> you're welcome. i'm nora o'donnell with john dickerson, bianna golodryga and the bathing suit queen gayle king. now to the big story we've been following. indonesia's investigation of last month's lion air crash says the boeing 737 should never have flown that day because of a series of equipment problems. the plane crashed into the java sea 11 minutes after takeoff killing 189 people on board. investigators are looking at a new system designed to prevent an accident due to stalling. the plane's flight data recorder showed the system kept

automatically pushing the plane's nose down. it happened more than two dozen times before the pilot lost control. >> the mcas system may have been because of a faulty signal. the pilots on the previous flight shut down the sensor. investigators say the pilots on the doomed flight should have known to do the same thing. boeing says the 737 max is safe and promises to cooperate with investigators. kris van cleave reports u.s. pilots are trained on this and the issue has not been found on other 737 max planes. president trump is questioning his own administration's report warning of dire consequences from man made climate change. scientists from 13 federal agencies say climate change could lead to more weather events like wildfires and hurricanes. the study went through scientific and public review. it was authored by hundreds of

scientists who say the impact of man made climate change could cost the u.s. economy hundreds of billions of dollars. >> president trump said he does not believe the impact will be that severe and yesterday he told the "washington post" -- and these are his words -- one of the problems that a lot of people like myself, we have very high levels of intelligence but we're not necessarily such believers. as to whether or not it's man made and whether or not the effects that you're talking about are there, i don't see it not nearly like it is. the over 1500 page report concludes greenhouse gas emissions from human activities are the only factors that can account for the observed warming over the last century. >> it's not clear if the president read any of the report. a florida man says he wants to take another hang gliding ride after a terrifying first flight. we showed you yesterday how he desperately clung on to the glider while soaring high above switzerland without any harness attached. manuel bojorquez spoke with him about his dramatic adventure at

a hang gliding flight park in florida just outside orlando. >> reporter: good morning, we are next a glider here at wallaby ranch to show you the important parts. you have to harness, the carabiner or clip and the hang strap. chris gersky was wearing a harness but the pilot forgot the all-important step of clipping it on to the glider itself. >> three, two, one, run, run, run. >> reporter: chris gersky had never been hang gliding but that didn't keep him from realizing this ride could be his last. >> i was trying to figure out what was going on and shortly after that it was we got a problem here. >> reporter: big problem. >> yeah. >> reporter: gersky's pilot failed to strap him in leaving him clinging to the glider and pilot as they staled hundreds of feet above the scenic swiss

landscape for two minutes and 14 seconds. >> i looked down and saw the scenery, it was all the tree tops changing colors and the little farmhouses and i thought to myself, that is beautiful, i'm going to fall to my death there. >> you thought that was it? >> oh, yeah. >> reporter: the pilot tried to land seconds after takeoff but struggled to get the glider down. instead they climbed higher. at one point, the pilot grabbed gersky's hand to keep it from slipping off the bar. you're not just hanging your own weight, youling with the wind. >> yeah. i felt it was seconds left. >> reporter: he said he hit the ground at 45 miles an hour. he broke his wrist h arm. do you fault the pilot at all? >> i do and i don't. he was a great guy. i felt really bad for him. >> reporter: his wife, who took off before him, was unaware of

what happened until they reunited. do you regret doing it? >> no. >> reporter: why not? >> we were doing what we wanted to. do we wanted to go hang gliding, that's what we were there to do. >> reporter: switzerland's civil aviation authority is investigating land question the pilot. chris gersky says he'd fly again, even with the same pilot. in the meantime, folks have offered to take him up -- this time securely. gayle? >> thank you very much. i bet his wife doesn't want them to fly again with the same pilot. she made it okay. i like him a lot. i don't know if he should do that again. oh, i'm supposed to keep going. >> just hanging on, gayle. sorry. a single mom on medicare has spent thousands of dollars to treat her chronic illness. she's in our toyota green room. how patients dealing with health

♪ in our collaboration with kiser health news and npr, we're looking at surprise medical bills that catch many americans off guard. the cdc estimates that the $3.3 trillion healthcare bill is for chronic illness. one of those conditions, multiple sclerosis affects more than 2.3 million people. without treatment report neurological disease can cause disability. the latest bill of the month

reveals just how costly lifesaving drugs can be. shereese hickson was bedridden with ms symptoms at one point unable to work or care for her 9-year-old boy. after trying two drugs, the doctors prescribed an infusion called okreef vis. she was surprise when she was build $3,600 for the first two doses of this new medicine. >> when i received the bill and it said $3,000 pay immediately and i'm like, where am i supposed to get this from? i'm on disability and that would be five months of my checks. >> several weeks after calling the cleveland clinic and applying for financial science, her balance was zeroed out but she still worries about charges for the treatment's two times a year and the high cost of the drugs for others with ms. the editor and chief of kiser

health news dr. elizabeth rosenthal is with us at the table to discuss. help us understand understand what happened to her because she got two infusions. why are infusion drugs so expensive? >> well, because infusion drugs come with all these associated costs. you can't take them at home, i mean, you go to the hospital or an infusion clinic and you're in a bed. so basically they're upcoded or upcharged. so it's not just the drug, it's the whole shebang you're paying for. so that's an important thing. before she'd been on drugs she could take at home. >> and shereese has worked in medical billing, which i think is interesting, but even she was caught off guard with getting 3,600. if it normally cost 123,000 and you get charged 3,600, isn't that sort of a deal? >> well, that higher price is just kind of a notional price and a $3,600 bill for any of us suddenly dropping in your box. >> is a lot. >> it's a huge amount.

your kid doesn't go to come summer camp or you don't get those gym lessons you wanted to do. and basically while she was so surprised is she had been on two ms drugs, they're all really expensive, but she'd never paid anything before. and part of the problem was that now she's on an infused drug and that comes with all of these big charges. >> is the moral of this story, though, call up and ask about financial assistance? because the cleveland clinic takes care of people -- they have a pretty liberal policy in terms of taking care of people who don't have the means to pay, don't they? >> all hospitals have what they call financial assistance or charity care programs. but they're not going to offer those up to you. they're in the paperwork somewhere. they may be in one of those folders. so you have to ask. you have to say is there financial assistance for me? and so she did the right thing, she picks up the phone and said, i can't pay this bill, what can i do? and the thing to remember is medical care is so expensive in this country, that even if you make a decent income you may be

eling ail. a -- eligible. there's a lot of discretion that hospitals have. >> we would never go to the store or clothing or piece of food without looking at the price or ordering at a restaurant. why is it when we go to the doctor we are previescribed and order up treatment that we have no idea what it costs? >> well, that's a big problem. we should be able to know and no one told her. part of it is doctors aren't cost conscious about this either. these thinking there are 12 grugs drugs to treat ms, they all work pretty well, but let's try "x" and "x" involves an infusion and that's going to leave my patient vulnerable. >> i don't blame her one bit of it. >> i don't either. >> because i have insurance through cbs, united health care, my kids get preventative care and i still get a bill over a thousand dollars. and that's for preventative care. that's not for a life-saving drug. so every time you ask how much

is it going to cost for you to take my child's temperature or how much is it going to cost to how this going toh cost, he would have said, oh, don't worry about it, i don't know, i'm sure it's the same as your old one. >> and you need it. >> and he or she probably doesn't know either. the system is so broken and dysfunctional. and, you know, i love this series -- >> how do we find out? the doctor doesn't know. >> how do you know how much the drug is? >> she could try to go to cleveland clinic and say how much is this going to cost? but that said, she's a sick person, she can barely get out of bed. she wants to be treated -- she's supposed to do investigative journalism with cleveland clinic? so i think in other countries there are binding estimates when you need a new treatment. it's not -- it doesn't take detective work, and we should want that too. i don't blame her for not asking in advance, because we're all so kind of oh my god, they're not going to tell me, they won't know.

i'm just going to try and do what's right for my health. i have goodnsuran t'ng t redo in the future. >> and if you have a choice between ann fusion drig drug whs more expensive or a pill, you should opt for the pill. >> for many illnesses there's a choice of ann injection or infution or a pill, as an ms she should have her antenna up that the infusion is going to cost a lot more and she is thinking of going back to the pill because she doesn't know if she can tolerate -- >> that's why the fda is pushing that the cost of this medication, these medications should be published in commercial and advertising. >> it is. but that alone if they said to her this is going to cost $3,600, what's she going to do some she's feeling sick. her doctor says you should try it. i think we need just a whole different system because these drugs are more expensive in this country, $30,000 more on average than they in any other country in the world. so we're being taken for a ride

and not just us, the sick people like shereese hickson and that's not okay by me. >> thank you. >> thank you. ahead, a stranger hands over a fortune to help students who lost their homes in a devastating california wildfire. find out how he's lifting up a struggling community. you're watching "cbs this morning."

this week gm announced it is laying off up to 14,000 workers and shutting down five plants in north america. neil irwin joins us at the table. is this just layoff or signs of a growing economy? >> not just gm is running into problems. there's a slump in the housing market and a lot of companies are groaning under the debts they took off several years. there are worrying signs. still a strong economy. still the lowest unemployment rate since 19 69. just some rumblings out there that's making people nervous. >> when it comes to workers at a company, a piece that you wrote a while ago really struck us comparing a janitor at kodak,

right, an older company, and an employee, a janitor, at apple, a newer company, and how there's lack of mobility. explain that? >> i believe we have a bifurcated workplace in a lot of major companies. you have a situation where if you're in a lower tier, doing rote work, not much benefits, for more white collar profess n professional workers, things are pretty good. but that creates a lot of problems. people starting out in poorer middle class trying to climb up, it's hard to do when there's a line between these different classes of workers. >> when it comes to gm and laying off the workers, it's not because the company is not profitable. in fact, ceo mary barra has made

the company profitable. >> this move toward autonomous vehicles, electric vehicles, it's disruptive. i think the challenge is -- in the old days, if you had a job at gm, you knew you had a job for 40 years. >> you had a job for life. >> yes. >> that's not the case any longer. >> i think it's hard for all of us to adapt to that. we have to find ways to ensure we don't have one career. you have ten careers. you have an ability to change as the technology changes. >> i keep seeing these sound bie bie bites over and over. how should they handle this news? >> there are jobs out there. the key is finding ways to take the skills you have and find ways to grow in industries where the auto industry isn't growing right now. >> put the president's words in

conte context. he said he's going to punish gm. or is this just something we've seen before, there are ways the government does mess around with the market a little bit? >> the tricky thing is anything they try to do to punish gm would also punish the broader auto sector and cause more problems across the united states. it's not that they could punish gm in ways that don't have lots of ripple effects. but you're right. gm is used to having wall street on their case and unions. now they have the president and his twitter account as well. >> has it hurt steel companies and others? >> it has. that's supply. that's an additional cost. we'll see what the president does with auto costs, which in theory would help. the auto industry including u.s. automakers don't want to see it. >> it's a story t ntinue to see.
