man faces charges of being a hezbollah operative who scouted popular sites in new york, washington, and other cities for possible terrorist attacks. the justice department indicted alexie saab yesterday. he's been a member of the militant group since 1996 and received training in bomb-making and intelligence-gathering techniques. the nine-count indictment accuses the 42-year-old of surveilling landmarks including the united nations headquarters, the statue of liberty, times square, and the empire state building. he also allegedly photographed potential high-profile targets in washington along with boston's fenway park and prudential center. prosecutors say all the information was sent to hezbollah. >> night fridge stuff. eight deaths in the u.s. are blamed on vaping with the latest happening in missouri. the food and drug administration has also revealed a criminal investigation of vaping-related illnesses. while the cdc reports at least 530 confirmed and probable cases. important detail here, most involve vaping with thc, the psychoactive ingredient in marijuana, or both thc and

nicotine. a bipartisan group in congress is working with parents, meanwhile, to keep teenagers away from all e-cigarettes while accusing the vaping industry of marketing to kids. >> it's, frankly, unfortunate that it takes so many people to get sick and even die across this country before we really pay the kind of attention that we should. >> reporter: lawmakers are joining parents who say they can no longer sit back and watch as children fall to the dangers of e-cigarettes. >> we will not allow our children to be used as human guinea pigs. >> reporter: they're calling for a legislative fix, and like the trump administration, they say flavors marketed to teenagers is part of the problem. >> flavors like bubble gum, tootie fruity, gummy bear, have no place in the marketplace when they're marketed to kids. >> reporter: 2018 data shows that more than 20% of high school students used e-cigarettes, up 78% from 2017. and nearly 707% of -- 70% of those students used flavored

7:12 am
it is honestly too hard to do without help. >> juul said in the past that it never marketed the product to young people. the vaping industry is reportedly already lobbying to create an exemption from mint and menthol, two of the most popular flavors used by teenagers in the trump administration's flavor ban. the congressional caucus will have a first hearing on the issue next week. one other important detail that merged yesterday -- the cdc is saying if you're an adult who used e-cigarettes to quit smoking, do not go back to traditional cigarettes -- >> there's a best there. >> a potential benefit in that case. there will be more on that because this outbreak of lung illnesses is new, but scientists have, in fact, spent years investigating the potential risks and benefits of vaping. in our next half hour, we'll show you some of the testing that's being done to determine whether e-cigarettes are a safer alternative to smoking. that's ahead on "cbs this morning." >> can't wait to see that. right now, millions of people are expected to march across the globe demanding that world leaders take action on climate change. here's the scene in berlin this morning. protests will take place at more
7:13 am
than 150 countries on all seven continents. they come ahead of a united nations climate conference next week.tib londh . >> reporter: good morning, that's right. a major protest here in london, and indeed right across the planet, led largely by school-age children who say now is the time to strike back against climate change. over in australia, we have already seen hundreds of thousands take to the streets. there are also major mobilizations planned for across europe, asia, and later today in cities across the u.s. they're also going to join in. with the huge number of people expected in new york, it's all part of the fridays for future movement started by 16-year-old swedish schoolgirl greta thunberg. she went before congress to deliver a blunt message saying, sorry, guys, you're just not working hard enough on the issue of climate change. here in london, we've been speaking to protesters who say climate change is the defining
7:14 am
issue of their time. and that if more isn't done, we're going to see a lot more protests like this. tony? >> imtiaz tyab on the ground for us in london. thank you so much. canadian prime minister justin trudeau says he will stas that show him wearing blackface. true dough -- trudeau said he deeply regrets his actions that happened before he got involved in politics. jamie yuccas is outside the canadian parliament building in ottawa. how are these blackface photos affecting trudeau's campaign? >> reporter: well, it depends who you talk to. good morning. throughout his political life, trudeau has portrayed himself as a champion for racial equality and diversity. some political observers say these newly released images
7:15 am
could hurt his reputation and credibility and potentially sway key swing voters. >> what i did was inexcusable and wrong. >> reporter: with election day just over a month away, canadian prime minister justin trudeau spent thursday night again apologizing to voters and asking for forgiveness. >> i am deeply, deeply sorry. >> reporter: trudeau is on the defensive after three photos and a short video of him in blackface decades ago emerged over the past two days. >> darkening your face is always unacceptable because of the racist history of blackface. i should have understood that then. and i never should have done it. >> reporter: the first photo of trudeau was published wednesday, taken in 2001 when he was a 29-year-old teacher attending an "arabian nights" party. the prime minister admitted to performing a traditional gentleman macon song in blackface in high school. thursday, another video surfaced. a government official says it was taken in the early 1990s. trudeau's political opponents say his actions were unacceptable. >> we're seeing an ongoing
7:16 am
pattern of behavior that's going to hurt canadians. they're going to see the prime minister making the realities that so many canadians live with. >> it's a political bombshell. he and his main opponent are neck and neck in most polls. now with this the conservative opponent of justice departmentin trudeau -- of justin trudeau does not need to win a whole lot of votes. >> reporter: what's striking is how polarizing justin trudeau is in candidates. the people love him or say theirtive feel regulars val -- their negative feelings are validated by the scandal. it could tarnish his reputation. his father served as canada's prime minister twice from the '60s through the '80s. >> thanks. medical bills are a major frustration for many americans who wonders what explains the
7:17 am
price and why they end up paying so much. starting monday, we're investigating the lack of transparency in health care pricing along with our reporting partner clear health costs. our three-part series is called "medical price roulette." consumer investigative correspondent anna werner is digging into why costs charged by hospitals and other providers often vary dramatically even within the same city. we'll show you the results of a pricing survey, hear from patients facing tens of thousands of dollars in surprise bills and doctors. >> most of our viewers i think would be fair to say don't understand the bills that they get. don't understand why the price was so high. is there transparency in health care pricing? >> oh, my god, no. i'm laughing that you think that -- that the patients are the only ones that think there's
7:18 am
flow transparency. i mean, people working in the system don't often know what the price is. when my patients ask me what the price is i don't have an answer for them. nothing about the united states health care system really makes sense. >> our three-part series "medical price roulette" will help you try to make sense of the system and find ways to avoid being surprised by medical bills in the future. those reports start monday right here on "cbs this morning." i'm looking forward. >> we're all going to learn something on that one. the fbi has joined the search for a new jersey girl who vanished while at the park with her mother. at 7:30, he investigators are we made it to friday and we are looking at ponding of sunshine and temperatures warming up to average for this time of the year. 87 for livermore. upper 70s in oakland, mid 70s in san francisco. we will continue with that warm- up into the weekend, at least, for saturday. warmer offshore winds. temperatures on sunday still

7:32 am
another complication, the latest figure showed nearly five million children use e-cigarettes. we wanted to see the science for ourselves. one of the web's most-talked-about pro-vaping videos is an experiment comparing the effects of tobacco cigarettes and e-cigarettes on the lungs. >> here is the bell jar with cigarette smoke. >> i mean, it just is so revolting. >> reporter: put out by none other than england's top public health agency. >> my research shows that e-cigarettes are significantly less harmful than cigarettes. >> reporter: public health england describes e-cigarettes as at least 95% less harmful than tobacco cigarettes. but is that really true? >> i would agree with that, and actually i would go further. i think there's now evidence from looking at the cancer biomarkers that it could be as high as 98% or 99% for cancer. >> reporter: david abrams is a professor at new york university. we asked his colleagues in the school of medicine to re-create

cufa might be 80, 90. i don't know how they can be that accurate. yes, they're much safer than cigarettes. >> reporter: but other american scientists like mark alfred are drawing very different conclusions. >> i would say it's 95% hammer follow. in any single -- harmful. in any single study i've seen that's looking at this in a meaningful way outside the lung, they're finding damage and harm. >> reporter: inside this lab at west virginia university, alfred investigators the long-term vex of vaping not on the lungs but on the heart. his team is exposing rodent to e-cigarette vapor. in a receipt study, he looked at eight months of exposure, the equivalent of 25 human years. what he found concerns him. >> the machine is detecting a higher velocity of flow through these vessels. >> reporter: the animals' arteries stiffened, almost as much as those exposed to cigarette smoke over the same time. >> stiffer arteries means greater risk for stroke, for heart attack, aneurysms, any

number of vascular effects. >> reporter: it's alarming. >> it's extremely alarming because it tells me to rettesimply are not going to be safer than cigarettes. >> reporter: he's trying to figure out why it happens. he says it's not the nicotine. >> if some -itbaseolution. the base solution is made up of vegetable glycerine, oils, petroleum. >> reporter: yeah, but advocates of e-cigarettes say it's just a little oil and water vapor, that's it. >> so that's actually the biggest lie about e-cigarettes is that it's water vapor. that's -- that's an oil and petroleum solution. >> reporter: when you think about the so-called continuum of risk, you know, you've got pure air over here, healthiest thing on the planet, and you've got cigarettes over here, one of the most deadly things ever invented, where is an e-cigarette on that scale? >> i think it's just about as close to cigarettes as you can possibly get.
7:36 am
>> and the cdc is advising people worried about health risks to avoid vaping. but at the same time, they say anyone using e-cigarettes to quit smoking should not go back to cigarettes. may, 2020, is the fda's official deadline for e-cigarette manufacturers to demonstrate that they are a net good for public health. you can go to cbsthismorning.com to see more of you on interview and the doctor says he's certain that e-cigarettes are a benefit for public health. as you saw from mark alfred's portion of the story, he said the long problem may be less with e-cigarettes. but you got to look at the whole body system. >> he's suggesting that nyu is looking at obviously one place. >> exactly. >> it's where you -- weird to see scientists conflicting like that. >> indeed. one clear takeaway, it's important that the cdc is saying if you were a smoker who went to

e-cigarettes, they're willing to say on't go back. maybe not stay, but don't go back. >> this reminds me of that debate about ten years ago between corn syrup and sugar. which is better for you. here it's just they're both bad. >> one of these two camps is correct, and we have millions of lives at stake. >> all right. good report, tony, thanks. a desperate search is underway for a missing new jersey girl. how investigators hope you can help track down the man suspected of abducting the 5-year-old. you're watching "cbs this morning." woman 1: i had no symptoms of hepatitis c. man 1: mine... man 1: ...caused liver damage. vo: epclusa treats all main types of chronic hep c. vo: whatever your type, man 2:in vo: epclusa has a 98% overall cure rate.

moved in. can you believe we've been neighbors for a year? >> i know. it feels like it's been so much longer, right? >> what can i do to help? >> you can start by wearing longer shorts. >> cedric drthe entertainer, thanks for being here. you've got a hit. >> yeah, man. >> why is it resonating? >> we're in a time where we seem to be asked to be separate, more separate and so this show is just talking about something that's kind of real. i mean, the idea of communities being mixed together is really going around in a lot of cities and so i think that this show kind of made sense. we really wanted to have fun about how we can get to know each other once we live next to each other as opposed to just having these preconceived notions about people. >> people hear it's a comedy, they might think it's laugh out loud comedy, but you mentioned there are serious issues involved.
8:36 am
parenthood.crimination, there's- why was it important to put those issues on the table as well? >> they're all the same -- those items make us common. the father or mother or brother, you know, we end up as people having the same issues except culturally we kind of maybe deal with them in a different way. but when you get to know another culture or another person, you realize it's the same stories. and so we kind of felt like it was important to have kids and different age differences and so those are the kind of things. the couple is a lot younger than we are, but because we're two married men, we can identify with each other. it's that kind of thing. >> your character is described as a bit cranky, but you keep it real by keeping these characters authentic to what would really happen out in the real world. >> that was one of the big things about even doing this show. our creator jim reynolds is a great guy. this was his life experience.
8:37 am
and so when he was writing the story, he was writing it from the white guy that moved in and he thought he was authentic to the black guy. i was, like, no. so when we became partners on it, it was more about all right, cool, let's figure out what we both want to say in this situation and then we'll have a show. >> you shoot this in front of a live studio audience. >> yeah. >> people don't realize that. that's interesting, isn't it? >> you know, as a standup, i'm used to that live audience, that instant reaction. it's almost a throwback to old school television when the live audience happens, but that particular format works for me because you get the energy right there. it's like doing a play except for you get to mess up and start over, but it still is that energy of people like feeling it right at the moment. >> does that really happen? if it doesn't play in the room when you're taping, you'll rewrite it and do it again? >> yes. that's the blessing about a written tv show. we get to start and cool, that
8:38 am
joke didn't fly. you're thinking it was going to kill all week and it went over people's heads, so we had to come back. you'll see the guys huddle up and everybody start writing jokes. >> you get immediate feedback. >> you started in standup comedy, but you really kind of started as a claims adjustor as an insurance company? >> for state farm, yeah. >> what a plug, right? >> i was. i was a claims adjustor and it was auto claims. i wasn't that good. i think there's still people in a rental car from back when i did it. sure, i'll take care of it. >> most folks remember you from "the steve harvey show" and i've got to give a shout out to wendy, my college roommate, who starred with you on that show. so much of your fame and i would presume how you were trained in television started then and there. >> exactly. that was my first situational comedy.
8:39 am
i came from standup, steve and i were good friends as standups. to have the opportunity to go on the show with him, it was a great learning ground. we had a great time. >> what's the best advice he gave you? >> the best advice steve ever gave me was be my authentic self. i came to new york one time to perform for a bunch of executives and i changed my whole routine, trying to be corporate and i bombed and steve went and cursed everybody out. i was, like, you can do that? he was, like, yeah, be yourself, don't worry about it. >> you're selling hats too. >> yeah. >> when you talked to our friend >> cedric the entertainer, thanks.
