our history that most people have never heard of. >> not just black history, american history. this is the greenwood neighborhood. also known as black wall street. you had banks, grocery stores, tailors, all black-owned businesses. but in 1921, a white mob burned it to the ground. as many as 300 black residents were killed. that's what's depicted in that "k" you can see the flames. history had forgotten what happened here, but the city of tulsa is digging into its past and trying to heal old wounds. this was all part of -- >> yes. >> the greenwood area? >> yes, buildings sat where this parking lot was. >> photo journalist kevin ross says he's grateful that tragic, little-known part of tulsa history is now coming to light. >> for decades, it was hush-hush. even some of the survivors i

interviewed, they were quiet in telling, they whispered in their own homes, because they were brought up not talking about what happened. >> it happened on these streets in 1921. much of the tulsa neighborhood of greenwood was burned to the ground by a white mob. the group clashed with several armed blackmen, who had gathered to protect a black shoe shiner who was unjustly accused of assaulting a white woman. after a shot was fired, violence broke out and hundreds of black people were massacred. ross's great grandfather was forced to flee the city after his business was destroyed. >> you had explosions, you had people running for their lives. it was just hell on earth. >> the horror was brought to life in the premiere episode of hbo's new series, "watchman" witnesses report seeing bodies put in mass graves and the local officials hid evidence of any crimes. at a forum on monday, scientists

we have a major update this morning to a cbs news investigation about child labor in africa. last year deborah patta ex-potioned the brutal conditions for child mining cobalt in the democratic republic of congo. now a new lawsuit blames some of the world's biggest tech companies from benefitting from those conditions. which have sometimes led to the

deaths of child workers. cobalt is used in things like batteries and products for many americans iry day. deborah patta is in johannesburg. what's behind this lawsuit? >> well more than half the world's cobalt comes from the democratic republic of congo where the united nations says 40,000 children have been used to mine of metal. in the two years since our investigation, our sources on the ground say conditions are as desperate as ever for these children. kids are still doing the unthinkable in the drc -- back-breaking work even for adults. but a world away in washington, there's new hope for the children in a lawsuit filed against major american tech companies, who use the cobalt. the suit filed against apple, google, dell, microsoft and tesla accuses of companies of knowingly benefitting from and aiding and abetting the cruel

and brutal use of young children in the drc to mine cobalt. cobalt is used in almost every electronic device powered by batteries. from smartphones to electric cars. 14 children who were injured or killed while mining are being represented by a human right's lawyer's firm. >> we traced the supply chain back from the mine where the children were either killed or maimed and have traced it back up to these companies. >> the suit calls for companies to take responsibility for child miners and their supply chains and change the way they source the metal. we contacted all five companies for comment, apple said they've led the industry in standards and removed six cobalt refiners who don't meet those standards in 2019. dell said it never knowingly sourced operations using form of child labor and is currently investigating these allegations.

google, microsoft and tesla, have not yet replied. at the beginning of 2018, cbs news travelled to the drc. here, children were lugging heavy sacks of cobalt to be washed in rivers. from as early as four, they were picking it out of a pile, breathing in toxic fumes we followed a supply chain where child mined and legally mined cobalt were not separated. we told the story of one child, 11-year-old ziki swazi who thanks to the generosity of our viewers was moved from the minus and given a chance to go to school where he is now thriving. the hope is, that more children like ziki can be rec res cued from the minus and sent to school. just this morning we received these photos of ziki celebrating christmas with his friends, think it's the first time i've seen him smiling. i guess it shows the power shining a light on these

children can have. tony? >> well done indeed. >> people stepped up, you felt for him when you heard debora's story. i think about the other kids that are still out there. thank you. we're looking at the stories you're going to be talking about today. >> make my wish come true, because mariah carey's "all i want for christmas is you" released 25 years ahead. we tell you the big present the holiday hit is finally delivering. p>> who's feeling out? that's a good tuesday morning to you. the clouds rbac that indicates changes for us. with our next weather system. so we will see it mid-to-high- level clouds as we had to today. and that the rain returns tonight into wednesday. so wet start to the day. for your wednesday morning.

♪ good morning to you our viewers in the west. it's tuesday, december 17th, 2019. welcome back to "cbs this morning." i'm gayle king. ahead dozens of tornados swept across the deep south killing people and causing severe damage there. >> i'm tony dokoupil. new research says many drivers are too reliant on high-tech safety technology and how that could put everyone on the roads at risk. one of the top news photographers at the white house shows what it takes to get the right photo. >> he's good. today's eye opener at 8:00. people in louisiana, mississippi, and alabama are cleaning up after a deadly string of at least 27 tornadoes. >> this ba ehemoth of a tornado was on the ground for 63 miles.

sorry for saying sorry to the person i wasn't supposed to say sorry to. really smart. >> this morning's "eye opener" presented by toyota. let's go places. >> it does seem to be that way. >> you can't make everyone happy all the time. >> you can't. you cannot. welcome back to "cbs this morning." we're going to begin with this, the water again, where it's causing big problems in the south where people there are lining up, assessing the damage from a deadly tornado outbreak. we've got reports of at least 27 tornadoes touching down in mississippi, alabama, and louisiana yesterday killing at least three people. the damage in mississippi includes a hotel that was just ripped apart. one tornado tipped over a big rig hauling cars and another left behind this trail of destruction. this is in alexandria, louisiana, stretching for more than 60 miles. our lead national correspondent david begno is in alabama. is it as bad as it looks? i'm guessing yes.

>> when it comes to covering weather few things are more frightening than when a tornado gets around the school. this the hope baptist church and school, the roof is missing where the school was. that's where the kids were. now right before the tornado moved through, they had an alert and they were starting to move some of the kids into the sanctuary of the church but even part of the roof of the church was also blown off. when you look at the front lawn it's littered with debris, the cross and signage is right there in the distance. alexandria, louisiana, suffered significant damage. there was not one injury here in town. i spoke with the sheriff william hilton who has been in office almost 50 years actually and he was saying even his wife got caught up in the tornado. he showed us a picture of how badly damaged her car was. take a listen to the sheriff. >> she was having lunch and called me and said honey, the weather is getting bad, should i stay here or go home. i said go home. she was here whenever it was hit and her car totally demolished.

>> one death in louisiana in vernon parish. 59-year-old betty potan died when a tornado hit her home. she had just turned 59. two other deaths reported in town creek, alabama, where a husband and wife died. listen, it was a day of tornado outbreaks across louisiana, mississippi, and alabama. and one thing that was incredible about the tornado here in louisiana, is that it was on the ground for 63 miles. i mean i've been covering weather for close to two decades as a reporter and i don't know if i've ever heard about that. consider this, the state of rhode island is 48 miles long. this sucker was on the ground for 63 miles. >> all right. david, thank you very much. breaking news this morning, pope francis is taking major new steps to open ups the roman catholic church's handling of alleged sexual abuse by priests. the vatican announced clergy abuse cases will no longer be handled as pontifical secrets

and will allow bishops to cooperate more openly with police and alleged victims. seth doane is in rome for us. seth, good morning. sounds like a move towards transparency. how big of a deal is it? >> that's right, tony. it is a very big deal. in fact, officials at the vatican are calling it historic, one of the most significant results of that landmark sex abuse summit held here back in february. you can think of the pontifical secret as sort of confidentiality. the confidentiality some would say secrecy that surroundings the proceedings where they look into issues of clerical sex abuse. many folks at the vatican had argued this secrecy, punfificle secret was important to protect the privacy of the victim but sex abuse victims said it contributed to the lack of transparency and prevented civil law enforcement from carrying out the investigations properly and from accessing crucial documents. it was pope benedict who instituted the pontifical secret in sex abuse cases in 2001.

remember back as controversy exploded. pope francis raised the age for the vatican's definition how they define child pornography from 14 to 18 years old. also today, pope francis accepted the resignation of an archbishop, holy seas ambassador to france who was accused of sexual molestation. all of this is being announced today jericka which happens to be pope francis' 83rd birthday. >> lot of news out of rome, thank you. new research from aaa finds people who regularly use advanced driver assistance technology are far more likely to be distracted behind the wheel. these systems can make a car semi autonomous but some drivers rely on them too much. this month a tesla sedan as you see there, slammed into two cars including a parked connecticut state police cruiser. the driver said autopilot was on while he checked on his dog in the back seat. no one was thankfully hurt.

kris van cleave is in washington doing double duty. how much of a problem is this? >> well, good morning. we're really just getting a sense of this level of earlier this year the national transportation safety board warned overreliance on these driver assistance features and not paying attention can lead to serious accidents. this aaa report gives us a sense just how checked out some drivers can be. >> reporter: asleep at the wheel. literally. cell phone video in boston captured this man who appears to be snoozing on the freeway. it happened in los angeles too. seth blake spotted this driver who also appears to be taking a nap while driving. >> we are in his area while we're driving for about ten minutes and he only woke up one time to kind of like look around and went back to sleep. >> reporter: nearly 93% of all new cars have at least one available advanced driver assistance feature, help maintain your lane, speed, distance from other cars or hit the brakes. aaa found drivers who regularly

use the systems are twice as likely to be distracted than when those systems are turned off. >> are they zoning out behind the wheel? >> i think we're seeing some evidence of that. >> reporter: researcher william horry. >> it can make it seem like the vehicle has the aspects of driving covered and that can lull you. >> went back in the lane for me. that's pretty cool. >> reporter: drivers new to the assistance technology were less likely to show signs of distracted driving with the systems active compared to when they were driving without them. >> that group is more less trusting of the system, maybe trying to figure it out. >> reporter: carmakers say drivers have to be prepared to take over at any time because these safety features do not make the car autonomous or self-driving and they're not perfect. here a tesla with autopilot engaged rear ended a fire truck stopped on the freeh. another slammed into a police car on the side of a southern california road. tesla did not respond to repeated requests for comment

but in the past has stressed drivers need to stay engaged with the road. while advanced driver assistance systems are becoming common there is no federal standard and they work differently. however, laws on distracted driving still apply to the drivers. studies show taking your eyes off the road for two seconds doubles your crash risk. >> thank you very much, kris. tesla and all the carmakers say self-driving doesn't mean you don't pay attention. you have to be engaged with your car. >> the manual doesn't say take a ten minute nap and >> reporter: well, it is a cloudy start to the day with chilly temps. and as we head through the afternoon,, we will continue to see those mid to high level clouds. this afternoon, the rain returns tonight with our next weather system. so keep those umbrellas handy.

so a wet start to the day for your wednesday. daytime highs then today, 56 in san francisco. 57 oakland, fremont, 59 for san jose. the rain tonight into tomorrow. and then a stronger storm for the weekend.

what happened? >> remember, we used to have a system where they would say, i get my social security, i get my pension, and i have my own savings. we then saw a shift from pensions where your company paid for your retirement to you paying for your retirement, to the 401(k) era. when we put that burden on workers, it's really a lot harder. also when you have a 401(k) or 403(b), those kinds of accounts, they're incredibly susceptible to downturns. you say, oh, my god, i've got to get the money out of my retirement, i've got to pay my bills. that's put so many americans behind the eighth ball. >> what do you do? >> if you have a plan through your employer, we know participation is the key. but if employers do have plans,

a lot of people are opting out of them. so stay in it, put a teeny tiny piece aside, 1%, 2%. if you don't have an employer plan, unfortunately it's harder. you have taupe up your own ira account or roth account. many banks and financial institutions make it a lot easier. whatever you do, have it automated. have it coming out of your savings or checking. good news for investors and saving for your retirement. costs have come down dramatically. >> should you ever take out of your 401? >> look. it's a last measure. when you talk about lending from a 401(k), a lot of people think, that's my money, and i want people to think twice about it and here's why. when you have a 401(k) loan, it comes out of your paycheck to pay yourself back, but if you leave that company, whether on your own or someone laid you off, you've got to pay that money back before tax time, and, boy, that can be penalties and taxable distribution and that can be dangerous. >> but you're never taking out of that retirement because you want to. it's usually a have to situation.

>> exactly. coming up, "our world of worship" series takes us to an ancient christian monastery known for violence and war.

for our series "world of for our series, "world of worship," we sent correspondents around the world to look at how people celebrate their faith and honor religious tradition. this week we go to the middle east. in a country where worship can come at a heavy cost, charlie d'agata discovered an unlikely oasis hidden in the mountains, an ancient christian monastery. >> reporter: with each twist and turn of the mountain road, we climb away from the real of this war-ravaged region and into the past, to a place of worship founded almost 1,400 years ago. the monastery carved into and out of the very rock on which it rests the ancient christian

temple, one of the oldest in the world overlooking the vast plains of northern iraq. its namesake traveled the lands, living an austere life. lived as a hermit for almost 30 years, and over time more monks made the pilgrimage, settling, too, in its labyrinth. the monks are gone, but we bumped into some young christians. christians are an important part of the community, she said. they've been here for thousands of years. over the centuries, this place has been more than a house of worship. it has been a sanctuary a. safe place in a region that has more than its fair share of upheaval.

they all overran this territory at one point or another, yet it somehow survived. the biggest threat came in modern times when isis rampaged throughout this region in 2014. the islamic extremists targeted anything to do with christianity. churches that stood for centuries, ruined in a matter of seconds. when isis overran nearby mosul, tens of thousands of terrified christians fled, escaping to christian towns in this region, until isis got so close, they evacuated from here too. at one point the terrorist group was just a drive away from a christian town sit at the banks of the mountain. mercifully, they never made it any closer but the threat is still here today. here, praying to your god means planning for the worst. that armed bodyguard follows that priest everywhere.

something the monastery's head monk knows all too well. he was in the nearby city of mosul when isis invaded years ago. >> what do you think isis would have done if they had reached this place? wherever they saw a cross, they smashed it, he said. they erased any traces of christianity. even the virgin mary, they chopped her head off and left the rest of the statue there. if they reached here, they would have certainly destroyed this monastery. before the u.s.-led invasion, the insurgency and isis, around 1.5 million christians in iraq. there are now barely 250,000. in fact, there are now more

chaldean catholics, the most followed denomination of iraqi christians in the united states than in iraq. the regional archbishop recently described christianity in iraq as perilously close to extinction, which means one of the oldest continuous religious communities remains on a cliff's ed. for "cbs this morning," charlie d'agata. tomorrow "our world of worship" series takes us inside one of the fastest growing new religions in the world, the baha'i faith. new technology, the 2010s. nicholas thompson is in the green room with what we can expect in the next ten years. your local news is next.

>> announcer: this is a kpix 5 news morning update. good morning. it is a 25. i'm gianna franco. the roadways alt-right right now, but that is going to change. mary will have more on that. rain is is on the way. that looks like the morning drive tomorrow. but today, you got some stop- and-go conditions as you work your way near santa clara street. things are a bit busy out of the south bay. we had an earlier accident through morgan hill. that is no cleared out of lanes. but still seeing some slightly slower speeds. speech, in fact, dipping down about 12 miles per hour. so very slow as you head through there. take a look at yourself be drive time. that is a 41-minute drive time. as you work your way onto 280, that 11 mile stretch between 680 and 85. and it is the usual stuff along

welcome back to "cbs this morning." it's now time to bring you some of the stories that are "talk of the table" this morning. that's where we each pick a story we'd like to share with all of you at home and with each other. >> jericka is first. a new study reveals fewer students are going to college. last fall there were 231,000 fewer students going to college. that's down over 1%. one major factor leading to that is the rising cost of college. also a low birth rate from 20 years ago means fewer students are graduating from high schoole deferring college due to the availability of jobs. so when you look at a lot of these institutions, $20,000 a year per year for school and then private school is about

$46,000 a year. that's a lot of money. >> that's crazy. over the years, the increase in tuition is astounding. >> which then leaves you with debt. some people say, for what? it's something to be about. >> i think you have to be more specific about what you want to do, where you want to go. to have $100,000 in debt and en - >> look at the line from "good will hunting." you paid $100,000 for an education that you could have paid $1.50 from a late fee from the library. >> and your mom is a teacher. >> my mom is a teacher. and we have a student who was counted out and then won the heisman. eechsp emotional acceptance foh

award this weekend t lsu quarterback talked about a very big problem back home in athens, ohio. take a look. >> coming from southeast ohio, it's a very impoverished area, and the poverty rate is almost two times the national average. >> so i love a lot of things about this speech. i love that he's an inspiration of kids. i love that he got emotional. you don't see guys cry that much, let alone football players, let alone on national tv. >> and he gave his coach a huge shout-out. >> the change the coach made. you can see the coach getting emotional.

i love that story too. >> he's calling out the poverty problem in ohio and after that he talks about kids being hungry. after that speech, a resident in athens created an online fund-raiser for the athens food pantry. and two days later, they raised over $335,000. joe burrow said he's up there to help those kids and show them they can be up there too. >> and you know athens there. >> i went to school there. that college is everything for that outside of the community. >> go, joe burrow. here's me. airport workers in lithuania got very creative. they made a christmas tree not out of ornaments but items made out of confiscated items in security. like cyst says scissors, guns. you should see, we should know, no knives, no scissors, no lighters, and certainly no guns. it really is important.

number one, they're on top of their job, which is a good thing, but it's funny but not so funny. >> you hope it was just an oversight. >> i forgot my gun. and in a brand-new series we're exploring, what the next decade will bring in climate change to health. we're kicking it off with a look at 2020s in tech. the last ten years changed the way we get movies, music and news, and meanwhile uber, lyft, and airbnb transformed how we travel. what can be next? nicholas thompson is here with a peek into the future. wow, that's valuable. >> did you take out your little black ball? your ouija ball? >> let's do it. >> okay. >> one of the things that comes up is 5g. super fast internet?

>> right. right now it's 4g. there's a big tower on top of the hill and sends the signal down. slow. 5g, the key point is things will go up 100 times faster than implemented. we have no idea what we can create when we send things 50 to 100 times faster. the last time with 4g, that's how we got uber. uber wouldn't have worked. instagram wouldn't have worked with 3g. with 5g, it won't be that you'll get your email faster. it will be something we haven't imagined yet. >> you're liking 5g. >> i'm so into it. nationally important. other countries are moving more quickly. the u.s. needs to get on it, gayle. >> who should i call? president xi?

what about a.i. and jobs? what should we do to get ready? >> it's important. my guess is it will create more jobs than it displaces but there will be a lot of jobs that change and are transformed, particularly repetitive jobs. that don't involve a bunch of spontaneous and creative decisions. the way i like to look at it is, imagine you have to write a m manual. you do this, you do that. a computer will probably do that in the next decade. >> what's the concern with a.i. jobs? they're creating jobs, but then they're taking away. >> they will create fantastic jobs. but one of the risks, you can have whole categories. they talk about truck drivers what are they going to do? they'll have to retain and try something else. can be hard depending what stage of life you're in. uber talks about flying cars.

i am trying to get used to self driving cars. flying cars in 2023. do you see that? >> not in 2023. we might have self-driving cars in 2023. they will be awesome. >> flying cars, nick. >> they're definitely possible. think of them more as single-person helicopters. >> i was going to say isn't a car like a helicopter? >> is that better for the environment? we keep talking about the climate change. >> if it's better for traffic, we can work on other areas we have issues with transportation. >> it could be better for the environmental. using 5g they can all talk to each other and travel behind each other, reducing wind efficiency. >> please, do you see that happening? >> absolutely in my lifetime. not by 2023. in 2030 -- in 2029 we're going this segment again, and i'm going to get here from brooklyn

to west 57 in a flying car, gayle. >> i don't know if we'll be sitting at this table. i hope it's me. i hope i get to see you. >> thank you very much. wonderful crystal baller, i appreciate it. you can read more in the january issue of "wired magazine." we will continue our look at the 2020s in the weeks to come. next week our climate and weather contributor jeff bern deli will discuss possible ways to tackle climate change. that's important. photojournalist doug mills good tuesday morning to you. the clouds are back, and that indicates changes for us with our next weather system. so we will see it mid-to-high- level clouds as we head through day in the the rain returns tonight into wednesday.

president trump has made insulting the media at the center of his presidency. but there's one member of the press corps who has earned universal praise for his work. his name is doug mills. he's captured all of the iconic images of mr. trump that tell the story of his white house tenure. major garrett knows him and introduces him to the photographer who has caught the president's eye, you may say. good morning to you. >> good morning, gayle. anyone who covers president trump knows he loves the media and he hates the media. now, that love/hate relationship is usually a big picture thing,

kind of a meta element of this tense situation but not for doug mills. doug mills quite uniquely personifies what president trump likes and dislikes. from ronald reagan to donald trump and everyone in between, doug mills has made the white house his photographic home. his lens overflowing with portraits of presidential power and prestige. >> have you ever photographed a president as image-conscious as president trump? >> never. barack obama is the most photogenic. by far. by far, donald trump is the most iconic. >> what do you make of it? >> his hair and how big he is, his eyes, everything about him. >> president trump wears the number 45 on his cuffs. his emotions can also be found there too. >> his emotions are right out there. in the most amazing photo op b

office was with the president of the united states, nancy pelosi and chuck schumer. we shouldn't shut the government over a dispute. >> the laugh time, chuck, you shut it down. >> no, no, no. >> it felt uncomfortable. at any moment i thought we should leave this conversation, but yet that's part of donald trump. president trump's relationship with mills pulled him into the summit of an economic conference, and the second nuclear summit with north koreanan dictator, kim jong-un.

>> how does that affect you? >> it's uncomfortable especially in front of world leader kim jong-un by saying, oh, this photographer is brilliant. >> worse, the president's relentless attacks on "the new york times" where mills has worked since 2002. >> the newspaper's going to hell. >> when he attacks us during a rally, it's uncomfortable. it disappoints me. i wish he didn't do it. >> at the white house, elbow room for reporters and photographers is limited. mills' philosophy, keep one eye on the president and one eye on everyone else. >> the president may be the most important person in the room today, but there's somebody sitting along the wall or somebody in the background who's going to be really important in a couple of days. >> so capture the day, but archive the moment. >> yes, because moments at the white house live forever. >> when did you first know you wanted to be a photographer? >> middle school. >> after four decades and two pulitzer prizes, he's known as one of of the photographers. around the white house, he's the dean. >> what's up, chief?

stay out of trouble. >> every assignment i go into, i try to be creative. >> as mills was with former fbi director, james comey, lifting his camera high above the lashi lashing partisan winds. >> at the time that hearing took place, he had all the answers. he was the main story. >> we return to mills at the senate hearing room to go with what it takes to go from concept to creation. >> i scoped out where he was going to be sitting at the desk, i prefocused. >> like a director, you blocked this scene. >> exactly. >> mills staked out where he would be taking the photograph. >> i extended the monopod out. once i got where i wanted, i just started firing. >> then he told the story of silent anticipation. >> i feel like it captures the moment of the room. >> another moment, the president's first state of the union with the house of representatives under new management.

>> that says it all as far as the power play in washington. >> lately mills has been chasing the photographic memories of impeachment. documenting the angry players and faces of anguished history. i've known doug mills for many, many years, and if you were standing here, gayle and gang, he would say he's unworthy of presidt and the president see is always the story, always the news. true enough, doug, every day of your professional year, except today. >> i know. what a great story. it's interesting to see how doug mills thinks and how he works. i thought that was fascinating. because of how long you've known him, what can you tell us about him that's not in your story? very great piece. >> so much of washington is podiums, neck ties, pens and marble statues. it's very stationary. pulling something from that

scene takes tremendous creativity. front of you but create something special, create something different, different shadows and different lightings. doug mills does that with the most mundane story. and "the new york times" trusts him do that. his career has established a reputation where that thing that looks so similar to everyone, out of doug mills' lens looks completely different. out of doug mills' lens, it looks completely different. >> thank you very much, major. i love the part where you say you focus on the president but . before you know it, somebody along the wall will be front and center. and he's right about that. >> they are the building blocks of history and the building blocks are inning whatting. you can always pick aifferent way. >> on "cbs th dis morning" podcast, the new miss universe. she talks about representing her country after apartheid era.

a waitress's stunned reaction after an extraordinary act of generosity there are those who will say that you're: too fat. too skinny. too hard. too soft. too old. too much. too unexpected. too limited. and to them we say too bad. because at kaiser permanente, we believe that everyone deserves the right to thrive.

joy to the world indeed. a waitress at an ihop in new jersey burst into tears of joy when she saw her tip. a table of 12 surprised angelica with a cash tip of $1,200 on saturday. the customers told our new york station wcbs station they wanted to do something kind. >> we all know some people are struggling or having a hard time, and it's always a privilege to be a blessing to somebody else. >> that is so true. alicia will use the money to buy christmas presents for her kids this holiday season. that's nice. ihop has great pancakes, and make sheer you get alicia as a

itress.
