welcome to "cbs this morning." from washington, gayle king is off. jeff glor and sharyn alfonsi are with us in studio 57. we're learning more this morning about a failed navy s.e.a.l. rescue mission that left two hostages death. they attacked an al qaeda heightout. >> they shot journalistist luke sommers and pierre korkie. he was hours from being released. the aid group he worked for agreed to pay $200,000. they did not know about those negotiation. they launched the mission on very short notice. david, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. although luke somers' captors were threatening to execute him, a member of his family is quoted

this morning as saying luke's father is quite angry at the rescue mission and his son would still be alive if the u.s. had not tried to save him. while president obama was introducing his pick for the next secretary of defense, the pentagon was secretly gearing up to make another attempt to rescue sommers. less than seven hours later a u.s. team was on the ground sneaking up on a compound where somers was being held but before they reached the wall, they were discovered. a fire fight was apparently recorded and posted on a jihadi website. a person was seen running into the building. he was in there for only seconds but by the team the s.e.a.l.s got to the building but by the time they got there they were bleeding from gunshot wounds.

were carried and taken off the coast but neither man survived. they ruled out the possibility som somers had been caught in the crossfire. >> he was murdered in an attempt by american forces to rescue him from terrorist groups in yemen. >> reporter: it was the second time in two weeks they attempted to rescue somers. the first because they moved hi shortly before the raid, the second, they lost the element of surprise. >> i can only speak for myself. i can only malk how luke's parents feel. murder in the aseconsecond atte >> it's complicated by the fact

that he holds dual u.s./british citizenship. >> thank you so much. this morning the intelligence officials think a new report will put american lives at risk. it's claimed they routinely used illegal tactics and lied about them. >> democrats on the intelligence committee are expected to release the report tomorrow. on "face the nation" sunday former cia director michael hayden said the record should be kept quiet. >> this will be used by our enemies to moment vat people and attack americans and americans overseas and i amgen yinly concerned by that as was the secretary of state and the director of national int intelligen intelligence. >> cbs national newsality juan zarate is with us. good morning. >> good morning, charlie.

>> what's in this report that so many people are worried about and will it in fact -- we haven't seen the report. will it, in fact, lead to the leaves of people overseas who may have been connected with the cia? >> well, charlie, i think people are worried that this reopens the debate and the enhanced interrogation techniques in place. the report based on what we know will indicate that not only they went beyond the bounds of the law but that the program wasn't effective and in addition the cia mislead the white house and even congress. so that's the explosive part of the report that so many officials are worried about. but the question is will this put fuel on the fire of those who will use the rort eport to antimate anti-american sentiment and i think the answer is yes. >> they're saying they lied. the question is, and you're one of them, are they backing up the

people no longer there? >> i think the concern is first that the persons responsible weren't interviewed and weren't spoken to by the investigators so the report is incomplete. in addition congress is not being held for wait knew, what it was briefed on, what it was asking the cia to do. and finally the fact that there's a misstatement of fact, perhaps questions of the effectiveness is really still at play. so the problem is this report will add more confusion and smoke rather than light, and i don't think it will bring clarity to the debate. >> we'll know more tomorrow. let's turn to the raid in yemen, the failed raid that led to the death of luke somers. what happened here? >> what you have is actionable intelligence. they knew where he was. they thought his life was in danger. al qaeda had said they were going to execute him. there was the failed rescue just a week and a half ago.

so we had actionable intelligence. the problem was these operations rely on stealth and the operation was compromised and that was really the problem at the end of the day. al qaeda was ready for this. they knew we were going to rescue and they wanted to kill. >> do we know whether it was compromised by the dog barking that led them to know something was happened? >> maybe. that may be the case. it's not clear what triggered it but they were ready to go. >> thank you so much. this morning a milestone on the war in afghanistan. the united states and nato officially into their mission. there was a flag lowering ceremony in kabul. the mission began 13 years ago. 13,000 coalition groups will remain in afghanistan. >> charlie and i will have more ahead right here from washington. but now let's go back to sharon and jeff in studio 57. >> all right, norah. thank you very much. more than two dozen people are

dead after a typhoon slammed into the philippines. seth doane shows us how history taught people to evacuate their homes early. >> reporter: though ham pit's tie phoenix was anticipated it caused destruction. dumping a month's worth of rain in the past few days. in coastal communities the worry is the storm surge made worse by an unusually high tide. schools have been turned into shelter. our house is near the sea and our roof will surely be blown away, this woman said. that's why we evacuated here. in advance of the typhoon, about 1 million people evacuated to shelters or higher ground, many still haunted by last year's typhoon haiyan.

>> if this is a dream, i should wake up. >> reporter: we witnessed that typhoon, the strongest to hit lachbltd the warnings this time, an aid worker said, may have saved lives. downed trees in entire cities and in some places thousands of homes have been damaged but still relief that so many lessons were learned following typhoon haiyan. sharyn? >> thanks. meteorologist danielle niles of wbz tells us what to expect over the next few days. good morning. >> good morning to you. good morning, to everybody. we're tracking the moisture. heavy rain. snow on the northwest side. we're talk 2g to 4 inches of rain. localized flooding and snow will continue as the big upper-level low kind of spins over the northeast over part of it.

it will top a foot in central vermont, north and back into northern maine and a wind at the coastline as well may seek up to 60 miles per hour. jeff, back over to you. >> danielle, thank you very much. nationwide protests continued over the weekend. most protests have been peaceful but there have been some pockets of swrie lens. jericka duncan is here with everies to diffuse tensions. good morning. >> good morning, jeff. protesters roamed the streets yet again last night, but the most intense confrontations occurred in california. for a second straight night, protests turned ugly in berkeley, california. demonstrators shut down a freeway while vandals roamed the streets, trark stores and setting fires. over the weekend, police used smoke bombs to disperse protesters, some of whom shat r

shattered windows and looted. in new york demonstrators gathered for a fifth straight night, but no violence broke out. i can't breathe, which garner said repeatedly before he died, has become a rallying cry for professional athletes too. chicago bulls guard derrick rose wore it on his shirt on saturday. so did reggie on sunday. bill brat on the said an internal investigation has begun. >> we're now going to have to see if the actions the offices engaged in were in violation. >> it went on beyond the nypd. >> you cannot look at the incident in missouri, another incident in cleveland and new york city all happening in the space of weeks and not act like there's not a problem. >> reporter: president obama had a message for young protesters.

>> as painful as these incidents are, we can't equate what was happening now to 50 years ago. if you talk to your parents, grandparents, uncles, they'll tell you that, you know, things are better. >> garner's wife says she's had to move oust staten island because of all of the tensions surrounding her husband's death. meanwhile his mother says she's heartened by all the demonstrations and urges protesters to continue peacefully. sharyn? >> thanks. this morning there are calls for the university of virginia to end the suspension of greek life. it follows "rolling stones'" retraction of a gang rape in v.a. julianna goldman has more. good morning. >> good morning. the uva took action last month. now groups are urging the

university to end that suspension and apologize. in a statement to "cbs this morning," three national organizations representing fraternities and sororities said the school's decision to suspend hurt the reputation of thousands of outstanding student leaders. uva should immediately reinstate operations for all fraternity and sew rohrty orchestration on campus. last month they suspended all greek-related activities following a "rolling stones" article oefrl a rape of a student named jackie. >> as a fraternity community, we're concerned. we're committed to remaining leaders in the long term. >> reporter: discrepancies in the stories soon surfaced. a day later the magazine revised the transaction, shifting the blame from jackie to the

magazine. we were mistaken in honoring jackie's request to not get the accounts of the assaulters. these mistakes are on "rolling stone," not jackie. >> they're very hard to cover, the emotions are high. it's important do more due diligence. >> while "rolling stone" and university of virginia continues to investigation, students are committed to the story. >> i think the uva has to get it right and we stand with jackie. >> they're also lobbying congress for change. they believe the board lacks the skills to handle crime and bodiry harm and should be handed primarily by the justin system. thank you. >> this morning new york is

relishing in the midwest important visit in decades. there was no shortage of fanfare. mark phillips also got out of his london office. today he's in harlem. mr. phillips, good morning. >> good morning. well, it's just your average royal working monday morning here. prince william is off to washington to see the president. indicate is here? harlem at a child development scepter. young prince george is at home. it's two full days of meetings and receptions and fund-raisers. if this is a test of their popularity here, they've already passed. a general flash warning should be issued for this visit. it's the first time william and kate have ever been to new york. whether or not they're ready for it, it's ready for them. >> carol and claudia bought

their tee aiaras and headed up new york. >> we heard the news and said we have to go. >> but we had to convince the husbands. >> and take off from work. >> a brief stop in l.a. where they were not outglittered. on this trip they'll spread more of the world glamour around while promoting and raising bags of cash for some of their favorite charities. wildlife conservation for him, children and protection agencies and the arts for her. royal watchers say they understand the game is played. >> it's almost like the kardashians with real diamonds. do they realize they're in that kierntd of miernt. the american celebrity environment? >> look, they do. they're very canny for using

publicity for their own purposes. >> and making people like sara crazy. >> you may think i'm a little crazy here but i've started to make a birthday for him. >> how possible lahr are they? they're going toing a courtside game. tickets around them are being scalped for around $17,000. the stars shine at the

something as important as tires, you know you've got a problem. >> he believes tire manufacturers are to blame for some of that. >> well, manufacturers want recalled tires back. one of the critical impediments to doing that is locating individuals that have them and that's a function of the registration system which we've identified and we want to take steps and see steps taken to fix that. >> she lost most of her right arm in that rollover crash. she said the tire that caused the accident is now is subject of a recall. >> when it comes to my truck or tires i never looked at it. it's something i look at more closely now and everybody should look more closely at. >> there is a government downline resource if your car is the subject of a recall, but the system in place is not as sophisticate. that's why you erie seeing so

this is cbs-3 "eyewitness news". good morning, i'm erika von tiehl. on very cold monday morning, our carol is in for katie. and i wish you brought some better weather with you, carol, i mean real. >> i if i could have, it would be 75 and sunny around here. instead we have clouds. we have temperatures below the freezing mark. look at the waves, though, down in rehoboth beach. 42 degrees, winds 23 miles per hour out of the northeast and nor'easter on the way, camera bouncing around, and not as much as it will be by the time we get to tomorrow. right now storm scan3 showing some clouds, but also, in some areas near the shore, you are dealing with couple of little snow showers moving into that area. so, just watch for that. as we go through this morning, but tomorrow, a lot more in the way of rain coming. with this nor'easter,

temperatures will be right around 40 degrees, over the next couple every days, it will be wet starting specially after midnight tonight let's check on the roads with jess. >> thank up, thankfully dry this morning, a lot of volume everywhere, 7:57. going out on the blue route at baltimore pike, where you can see both lanes, southbound lanes, and the northbound lanes, pretty much looking the same. slow going in both directions. now, we do have circuit issues on patco, ferry avenue, the trains now departing from lindenwald every six minutes, but the rest of mass transit having no problem for septa dart or new jersey transit. erika, back over to you. >> thanks, jess capture next update at 8: 25, next on cbs this morning, the duke and duchess of cambridge in a new york state every minds. see

it is monday, december 8th, 2014. weome back to "cbs this morning." more news ahead including one big downside of shopping online. how an internet trend can ruin a surprise, but first a look at your "eye opener" at 8:00. >> a member of his family is quoted as saying luke's father is quite angry at the rescue mission. >> will this put you on -- >> the typhoon has knocked out powers to cities. >> heavy rain and snow on the east side. >> in new york city protesters

roamed the streets last night. but the most intense confrontations occurred in california. >> if this is a test of william and kate's popularity here, they've already passed. >> matthew and grace huang are already relieved that their two-year nightmare in qatar is over. >> the u.s. could have done a lot more. >> a large downtown los angeles apartment fire. >> it's great you've won two academy awards but let me ask you this, tom. can you wear them? i'm charlie rose with norah o'donnell. gayle king is off. luke somers' father is upset. >> somers spent 15 months in captivity. the u.s. tried to rescue him

twice in the past two weeks. the second mission was launched after al qaeda released a video wednesday threatening to execute him. >> democrats on the senate intelligence committee are set to release a controversial report on the cia tomorrow. it's claimed that they used torture. they say the study could endanger americans overseas. secretary of state john kerry expressed concerned about the report. claire mccaskill is here with us. senator, welcome. >> thank you. >> nice to see you last night at the kennedy center. >> yes, yes. and you all look bright-eyed and bushy-tailed after last night. >> remarkable, isn't it? senator feinstein, you know her well. obviously she's a colleague and i'm sure you've talked with her about this even though you haven't seen the report. can you tell us what it is that's so damaging that people fear that it might rebound against the united states in foreign countries and u.s.

personnel? >> well, i think it exposes what the world already knows and that is that the united states engaged torture, but my feeling about this is that this is a gut check moment for our democracy. the world knows we tortured. but does the world know yet that we'll hold up our values and hold our government accountable? this report would never happen in north korea or china or russia. but in the united states we hold our government accountable and i think that process is so important, so fundamental to our democracy, that it's essential that that report comes out. >> but those people who may be suggested in the report that they tortured say they had authority from the white house and legal authority and they reported everything they were doing. >> first of all, i think the american people need to see the report and they can judge for themselves. as to whether or not this is a learning moment for us, i don't think anybody in america, especially -- i mean look at

john mccain who understands so much better than any of us. there's no one who has been more upfront about how important its they we get beyond this ever happening again in terms of using torture. by the way, i think the report will help us all understand whether or not the torture was effective. >> but, senator, this has been a long running debate. i think we've known that the u.s. government engaged in waterboarding techniques. there's been a koonlting debate whether those led to any actionable intelligence. but in this particular case, the report by the senate suggests that members of the cia systematically lied to those in the white house. that's a very damaging charge. >> it's a very damaging charge, but we know that during that report the cia was hacking into computer, actually threatening senate staff with criminal

referrals, so i appreciate that we have to have -- >> but you have every former head of cia since 9/11 saying they haven't. >> that's why this report has to come ow. if it doesn't out, we have to get comfortable with the fact that the cia does not have to come out. >> let's turn to the issue of alleged sexual misconduct in the military. a new report came out just this week that suggests that while sexual assault was down, reporting went up. should that give us any -- i mean the people at the pentagon are saying this is somewhat good news. how so? >> first of all, we now know that reporting was one in 12 just a few years ago and now it's down to 1-4. that is so much higher than the civilian world.

as somebody who prosecuted this crime for years, it is. prevalence is down. reporting is up. and importantly, norah, the victims who were contacted anonymously in this effort over the last year said that 83% of them were fully supported by their commanders as they came forward out of the shadows. that to me was the most important statistic in the report. we're changing the climate in the military. we've got a lot of work to do, no question. we're not done. i'm not done oversees this. but it has been sub born for some to see the progress being made. >> thank you, senator, mccaskill for being here. now we're going to turn to the news with jeff glor and sharyn alfonsi who are in new york. jeff. >> thank you, norah. 73 years ago the united states declared war on japan after the attack on pearl harbor.

the duke and duchess of cambridge, but here they're william and kate. protocol and popularity get confused when royals come to america. >> we want to see them. they seem like a classy couple. >> reporter: some fans like claudia and care ya will don their tiaras and stand out in the cold. >> they stand out from people just trying to be famous. >> reporter: but this is the different kind of celebrity. not the disposal famous for being famous kind. this celebrity has legs from america's original affair with diana over the shock to her untimely death, to the fairy tale of her son's wedding, to the redemption of his and kate's first child and for the impending arrival of another. this is an enduring select with substance, different from another kind and kate says

newspaper columnist dana schuster gives celebrity a good name when they need it. >> it's really refreshing nowadays. we've witnessed kate and will's up and downs. we know they broke up and she had morning sickness but there's still a lot of mystique and we're not sick of it yet. >> they learn add thing or two. by luck or design, they've now provided something for everybody. familiar mother figure, even charles and camilla, remember them, look settled and happy. and there's prince harry. no wonder this story runs and runs. americans somehow seem more intent and more enthralled with the royals than even the british

with aches, fever and chills- there's no such thing as a little flu. so why treat it like it's a little cold? there's something that works differently than over-the-counter remedies. attack the flu virus at its source with prescription tamiflu. and call your doctor right away. tamiflu is fda approved to treat the flu in people 2 weeks and older whose flu symptoms started within the last two days. before taking tamiflu tell your doctor if you're pregnant, nursing, have serious health conditions, or take other medicines. if you develop an allergic reaction, a severe rash, or signs of unusual behavior, stop taking tamiflu and call your doctor immediately. children and adolescents in particular may be at an increased risk of seizures, confusion or abnormal behavior. the most common side effects are mild to moderate nausea and vomiting. ask your doctor about tamiflu and attack the flu virus at its source.

ma veterans returning from wars overseas face a new challenge at home, finding a job. well, now some are getting extra help to make the transition from combat to the cubicle. >> wyatt andrews met the vets who learned a valuable new job skill. he's here with us in washington. good morning. >> good morning. you know, so many veterans go to these job interviews with employers who say they want to hire veterans but then they don't because thaw see the vets as unqualified. but we found an unusual program with a simple solution. give these vets a job skill that's required in tens of thousands of businesses around the world. >> i'd like to thank these guys. >> thank you very much. >> there were 20 veterans at this special graduation, all of them expressing appreciation. >> thank you so much. >> thank you. >> for the certificates they earned in data malkt software. that might not sound like much, but to them, it's everything. >> this is like a lottery

ticket, and it's not a scratch-off. it's a powerball. >> the certificates feel like a lottery win because so many veterans come home and hit a wall. the nation might be grateful for their service, they say, but gratitude doesn't get you a job. >> i've been unemployed for about three years. >> i was unemployed for about five months. >> after he returned from afghanistan he was rejected by dozens of employers. some companies were worried about his ptsd which he controls with the help of his service dog bronze. bronze is there when needed. >> bronze is doing his job right here. >> he's on alert. >> like hundreds of thousands of veterans, his skills in combat were not respected by companies back home. he grew bitter and contemplated suicide. >> you reflect on all the things that you've done, you know, for our country, and at the end of

it, it just seems as if the country forgot about you. it's a very dissatisfying taste. >> but at that moment is when the call came offering this training. >> it was if i had won the lotto. >> this training is best described as a software boot camp run by a nonprofit group called ns to serve. >> they live, sleep, and study together all on a mission to learn data management soft wrair from the s.a.p. corporation. it's widely used in banking, factory operations and military intelligence and now veterans going nowhere are now qualified to work anywhere. >> i was literally a day away from panhandling before they let me in through the doors. >> are you grateful they selected you? are you grateful you're here? >> i am. i was in the -- sorry. i was in a very dark place before i came here.

>> this is not easy stuff. >> the man who realized that veterans needed the is mark testoni who runs the u.s. subsidiary of s.a.p. and started the ns 2 training. it's successful, he said, because of marriage sauce, the sauce that combines the dedication of veterans with a job skill that's in high demand. >> it's not just about hiring vets but about creating career paths for people, who have protected our way of life here in the united states. >> from a business point of view, what's good about hiring vet raps? >> focus on mission. not going to be defeated. >> in civilian life they were on the razor's edge of defeat. they question whether they'd once feel what they felt in the mill tai. they don't have that question anymore. >> it provens it to me. it proves that you're still the

guy you used to be. >> ns 2 spends tens $2 spends t thousands of. when i asked mark if the cost was worth it, he said that any large company not doing this is missing the most reliable pool of workers in the economy. >> thank you. what a great story. what a great story. there's not enough in terms of the transition out of the military and giving people new skills. >> it seems luke -- like a win/win. >> thwhat they want to do is se other companies replicate this. they don't see a reason why you shouldn't do this. >> thank you so much. >> the kennedy center honors a pioneering comedian. how a child helped launch her career. we sit down with a one of a kind-actress. that's coming up here on "cbs this morning." >> we love you beyond measure,

loved ones about what's under the tree and spoil the surprise. dan ackerman is a senior editor with our partners at cnet. welcome. >> hi. >> happy holidays. why could the holidays be ruined. >> this is one of those unintended consequences. they serve up ads you looked at online. you go shopping and when somebody goes on the computer later they could see the related ads. you could say, oh, clearly that's what my mothered on wife is shopping for. >> you've seen that before. you search for a vacation for hawaii and things pop up. how are they quantifying it? >> it's all about building these advertiser pry files of you. it's like the almighty cards at the supermarket or drugstore where they keep track of what you buy and print you coupons to a related event.

they're working together. it crosses the lines between different shopping sites, media sites, new sites. it goes all over the place. >> i've seen that. i was looking for a toy for my son and on facebook it started advertising. >> there are a lot of ways to reduce the tracking cookies. usually it's kind of opaque, a little bit hard to do. there's a little blue triangle in the corner and if you click on that blue triangle, if you do, that it will take you after a couple of clicks to an ad choices page to opt out. >> it's not easy to do. >> of course not. if you want to do more low tech things that are easier, i'm saying if you share your computer use a different web browser. you use chrome, you use firefox. >> i was going to ask you. are you a chrome user, firefox? >> i test everything.

i use a lot of chrome, a lot of safari these days. >> thanks. very interesting. we'll try not to ruin our christmass. dan, thank you. let's go back to charlie and norah in washington. hey, norah. >> hey, i'm not going to give up my online shopping though. no worries about that. we're in washington this morning after a night of celebrating at the kennedy center honors. among the winners, comedian lilly tomlin. since the 1960s, she's lit up the screen with her humble style of humor. >> i was trying to think of something in the next half hour that would get me on the 11:00 clock news. >> her face has launched a thousand laughs. even when she's sharing a scene, she's usually stealing the snow. >> you yelled at me. that's great. that helps. >> perhaps that's because lilly

tomlin's humor has always packed an ever so subtle touch. >> mom, you look -- >> i tell you they get so in the way, it's unbelievable. i'm thinking of trading them in for a mid size. >> something she admired even as a child while watching comedians like jean carroll. >> i never forget my husband stand tong hill hair blowing in the breeze and he was too proud to run after it. my mother would crack up. i would sense there was something subversive about jean carroll. >> is there something subversive that's at the heart of comedy? >> i think so. i think there's always a burst of element. >> the other element she discovered during childhood was the power of observation, easy

for a little girl who grew up in a detroit apartment complex filled with eclectic ten nanlts. >> everybody was so interesting and funny or sad and i saw both sides of them all the time. they could be brutal and horrible and then they could be so tender and soft, and was just priv yo to all of it. >> in her early 20s she took people watching professional. she scratched her plan of becoming a doctor for the stage. >> tell me, miss, what do you thunk about this pill? >> well, that's -- the revolution -- the first time -- i didn't want to -- >> fame would come in 1970 when tomlin joined nbc sketch comedy show row p & martin "laugh-in." >> is this general motors? hi, general. >> and america fell in love with the telephone operator nameder necessary steen.

refused to take on roles that defeated women. >> you would never play a role that you thought undermined women's power or women's roles? >> i would. want to play anything that undermined humanity. i would wantn't to literally stab someone. that makes me a weak artist. >> you've never played a role where you've murdered someone. >> i can't think of anyone where i shot someone or stabbed someone or slit someone's throat. >> you almost poisoned someone in "nine to five." >> i almost did. >> you did because you thought he was a prick. >> i reckon so. >> lose a promotion to some idiot prejudice. you're so intimidated by any woman who won'tst at the back of the bus. >> spare me the women's lib

and at the same time it's very funny and outrageous. >> if all the world's a stage, how come so many people have to get in. >> a dichotomy that can easily be used to describe tomlin and her body of work. >> will yo you be spying on me in the bathroom? >> yes. >> in the bathroom? >> yes. >> why? >> there's nothing too small. >> likeable and laughable all at once. >>'ve always had an act because i've had an act since i was a child that i could pull out my back pocket and i always said it was an act that could keep me out of the match game. >> it was so great to be with lily tom lip. >> still so funny. >> it is. >> jane parker, her partner for 40 years said she didn't want to sep it for so long because she believes she deserves a lot of the credit too. she's just as nice in person.

i school districts see cuts every year and teachers often step in to close the gap. in the year 2013 public school teachers spent $1.6 billion of their own money on classroom school supplies. one charity found a way to make up that difference. adriana diaz is in chicago where a school sees the difference firsthand. good morning. >> good morning. this school classroom looks like any others but it's thee materials that they say makes learning come alive and they got here in an unusual way. these chicago fifth graders are getting a hands-on lesson in engineering by launching

catapults. this is their teacher. >> the kids will analyze their data and graft it and redesign it so the whole process is reinforced through this activity. >> but the catapult kits weren't purchased by the school system or anyone else. they were a gift made by a crowd funding website called donors choose. an online website where teachers can post what they need and anyone can help cover the cost it's a lot more than we ever dreamed of. >> he started donors choose 14 years ago during his first year as a public school teacher. >> i figured there were people out there who would want to help teachers like us if they could see exactly where their money was going. >> today more than half of all public schools in america have at least one teacher who's create add project on donors choose and 1.5 million people have given more than $250

million. >> people not only want to support public schools but people warm to this idea of being a philanthropist even though they might have only five dollars to spare. >> $5 or $384,000. that's what google and staples donated the summer to fund every outstanding project in chicago school major rahm emanuel made the announceme announcement. >> it's helpful with specific teachers in specific classrooms with specific projects. >> chicago schools are working to do more with less. last year officials closed more than 50 schools and announce they'd would lay off thousands of teachers. do you think a model with a partnership is the future? >> it's a means toward something. it's helpful. do i think it's the future? no. i think it's the tool in the toolbox. >> a tool he best hopes can spur

policy change. >> it starts with listening to teachers. >> there we think there's nothing like sunlight to mobilize and energize citizens to demand change of their elected officials. >> to do that donors choose making their internal data public. now anyone can see which teacher requests come from which schools. >> if we can show the world there are students in all sorts of communities who don't have the materials they need, that's going to be if first major step to doing something about it. >> once supplies get to schools, students write thank-you cards like this one written by daisy whose class got a 3-d printer. she said, i'm so excited to use a 3-d printer to make fossils. >> what great idea. >> smart girl. adriana, thanks.

you're watching "cbs this morning."

new york. stay tuned for this is jim. a man who doesn't stand still. but jim has afib, atrial fibrillation an irregular heartbeat, not caused by a heart valve problem. that puts jim at a greater risk of stroke. for years, jim's medicine tied him to a monthly trip to the clinic to get his blood tested. but now, with once-a-day xarelto®, jim's on the move. jim's doctor recommended xarelto®. like warfarin, xarelto® is proven effective to reduce afib-related stroke risk. but xarelto® is the first and only once-a-day prescription blood thinner for patients with afib not caused by a heart valve problem, that doesn't require regular blood monitoring. so jim's not tied to that monitoring routine. gps: proceed to the designated route. not today. for patients currently well managed on warfarin, there is limited information on how xarelto® and warfarin compare in reducing the risk of stroke. xarelto® is just one pill a day taken with the evening meal. plus, with no known dietary restrictions,

jim can eat the healthy foods he likes. don't stop taking xarelto®, rivaroxaban, unless your doctor tells you to. while taking xarelto®, you may bruise more easily and it may take longer for bleeding to stop. xarelto® may increase your risk of bleeding if you take certain medicines. xarelto® can cause serious bleeding, and in rare cases, may be fatal. get help right away if you develop unexpected bleeding, unusual bruising, or tingling. if you have had spinal anesthesia while on xarelto®, watch for back pain or any nerve or muscle related signs or symptoms. do not take xarelto® if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. tell your doctor before all planned medical or dental procedures. before starting xarelto®, tell your doctor about any conditions such as kidney, liver, or bleeding problems. jim changed his routine. ask your doctor about xarelto®. once-a-day xarelto® means no regular blood monitoring, no known dietary restrictions. for information and savings options, download the xarelto® patient center app, call 1-888-xarelto, or visit goxarelto.com.
