7:10 am
about his plans saying he would make no new deals while he was president. no one knows what that means. my colleagues and the press would like to grill him on a a little bit but i think it's up to the media to make sure he is held accountable and hold a press conference and answers those questions. >> thank you for being with us this morning. donald trump continues to fill out his cabinet. on friday he nominated south carolina congressman mick mulvaney as his budget director. he was first elected to congress as part of the tea party wave in 2010. a founder of the conservative house freedom caucus a group of republican congress members who edged john boehner out of the house speaker's role. as budget director mulvaney will move through the president-elect's budget through congress. he requires senate approval. tomorrow on "face the nation," john dickerson's guest including former national security head tom donelan and henry kissinger and the national correspondent for the atlantic.

7:16 am
as china flexes its military mite. the unmanned underwater drone does not contain any sensitive technology, but it's worth $150,000. and the u.s. has lodged a diplomatic protest demanding it back. according to the pentagon, a chinese navy ship stole it in broad daylight. it happened as a u.s. navy research vessel was recovering two underwater drones after testing the waters off the coast of the philippines. data which can be used by sonar operators to hunt for chinese submarines. the chinese ship which had been shadowing the ship swooped in and put a small boat in the water and snatched one of the drones and disappeared over the horizon and ignoring radio calls to return it. u.s. navy vessels are routinely shadowed and harassed by chinese ships for dominance in the south china sea. this incident where they almost collided with another navy research ship occurred in 2009.
7:17 am
usually those incidents occur much closer to the chinese mainland than this one. only the chinese know if this was intended as a signal for the incoming trump administration. pentagon officials say it looks like the chinese ship simply saw a chance to disrupt the american operations and went for it. for "cbs this morning: saturday," david martin, at the pentagon. a car bomb has killed at least 13 soldiers in central turkey this morning and injured at least 55 other people. most of the military personnel, the blast happened at the entrance to a university. hitting a bus that included the soldiers among its passengers. turkey is facing renewed conflict in the southeast part of the country with kurdish rebels. the deputy prime minister says that materiels used in the attack were materials to those used in last bombing in istanbul. there has been no claim of responsibility for the attacks so far. in syria this morning, there is yet another agreement to

7:37 am
joe in charge of mission control on a new cancer moonshoot. today with the 21st century c.u.r.e.s. act, we are making good on both of those efforts. we are bringing to reality the possibility of new breakthroughs to some of the greatest heal challenges of our time. >> jon, most that money is going to the national institute of health. what are some of the projects it's going to be funding? >> $1.4 billion for precision medicine and 1.5 billion for brain research and 1.8 billion for attempt to do something better about cancer. precision medicine is just fascinating. it's asking the question what are the relative contributions of genetics to our health and in 2017 the nih is enrolling volunteers. anybody living in the united
7:38 am
states can volunteer. you come in and give a tube of blood and they examine you and ask a bunch of questions and follow you over a number of years. do your genetic profile and what is the effect of your environment, of your diet, your lifestyle and they will follow these people over the years and combine it with their electronic medical records and all of this data in a big database and say happens to these people? it's not what we call one size fits all. there is a concern which is the security of this information, these big databases versus the things in the news. i just spoke to france clins who -- clins who is concerned they are going to have a hack a thon. he is very concerned about this. >> almost $2 billion worth of funding is going to fund the cancer moonshoot that is spearheaded by vice president biden.
7:39 am
what is the cancer moonshot for those who don't know? >> 50 years ago press kennedy talked about moonshot and putting someone on the moon. now a bigger challenge trying to find a cure for 200 different types of cancer. the idea we will try to accelerate the progress in terms of prevention diagnosis and treatment of cancer. why now? the feeling is timing is right now. we have a better scientific understanding about cancer. we have the technology. we have these large data sets we can draw information from and we have public support. so the hope is that by uniting what they call the cancer ecosystem which basically means from philanthropists and governments scientists and individual families and private sectors we can do this mission and the right way at this point in time. president obama put joe biden in charge of this. as you know he lost his son to brain cancer. no greater tragedy than losing your child and no great motivation to really make this mission a success. >> jon, this is a huge bill.
7:40 am
what else did sd it touch on? >> a billion dollars to fight the huge opioid epidemic and looking to revamp and modernize the process in the fda of approving drugs and devices. there is controversy there. as you're doing this you want to make sure that everything is still safe and effective. >> there was some pushback on that from senator elizabeth warren. mumps cases drefecreased 99 after a vaccination program in 1967. some are report this year the most in a decade. seven states have more than a hundred cases. the single largest outbreak comes from arkansas. multiple college campuses across the country have also reported cases. tara, when we talk about mumps, i think so many people in the country are unfamiliar with that since it's been in some cases eradicated. what is it as a sickness? >> we probably never seen it, at least growing up.
7:41 am
it is a contagious illness that is spread by saliva and secretions and salivary gland is after the accident and it lasts for days and cause fever and malaise and headache and usually self-limited and goes away within a couple of weeks but can lead to complications like deafness or swelling of the lining of the brain or swelling or inflammation of the testicles, ovaries or the breast tissue. >> as alex mentioned, it's showing up on college campuses. what is behind the spread? >> well, it is college campuses are a perfect breeding ground and spread through respiratory droplets. kissing. just even sneezing in the air. it's also what is called surfaces, sheets, utensils. kids in college tend to be very close together sharing things and do a little bit of kissing! >> tara, what role does vaccine
7:42 am
play in keeping mumps away? >> it plays a huge role. kids should be getting two doses of the mmr vaccine and should happen between 12 and 15 months and between 4 and 6 years. if you get two doses it's usually about 88% effective in preventing mumps down the road. if you get one doze, about 78% effective. you can still get mumps when you're older. if your immune system didn't have a good reaction to the vaccine. more importantly is that the vaccine effectiveness can wear off over time. usually about 10 to 15 years about the time you're in college. so there is some talk amongst people at the cdc that we may see in the future a third booster. but, overall, vaccination is important for preventing the spread and size and duration of these outbreaks. >> finally. silly putty may not be so silly after all. the stretchy substance was seen as just a children's toy, of course. but that was before researchers in ireland got their hands on
7:43 am
the stuff. a study published in the journal science finds the material offers some surprising promise. silly putty is made out of polysilicone, a substance can act as a liquid and solid. researchers combined it with a super thin and strong material made out of carbon that can conduct electricity. with that they created a material that can act as a high performance electromechanical sensor able to detect a heartbeat and breathing and joint motion. they call the creation g-putty and see a number of potential uses as an impact sensor, a blood pressure monitor, and in wearable devices that record our vital signs. >> i can't wait to tell my patients they can throw away their blood pressure cup and use a little bit of silly putty! >> how did we figure this one out? >> i may be dating myself. i remember as a kid putting it on the comic and you press it. >> you can still use it for that! >> the image is there and then you can stretch it and it would be very cool and make the
7:44 am
comic -- oh, well. >> g-putty! >> science marches on. >> thank you both. talk about a change in climate. some members of the incoming trump administration have quite a very different stance on global warming than the obama administration. we will look at what that may mean for america's stance on the environment. you're watching "cbs this morning: saturday." with ingredients like roasted hazelnuts and cocoa, nutella adds a smile to any morning. one jar; so many delicious possibilities.

now that's progressive. ♪ ♪ changes turn the face to strain ♪ amid fears of global warming, a distinct chill has come over the scientific community both here and around the world. >> president-elect donald trump says he has an open mind when it comes to the issue of climate change, his appointments appeal hostile to addressing the problem and some looking to defund ongoing research to monitor environmental changes. here to talk about it is jeffrey
7:48 am
concluding kluger of "time." how concerned is the community about the changes in scientific changes? >> the community is concerned and should be concerned. look. global warming is an established fact. it's mutable and nonnegotiable and not subject to politics. global warming doesn't read tweets. it doesn't care about who won the electoral college vote. it's an immutable bit of science and what we are seeing is an administration that is choosing to appoint people who are hostile to that very idea, who, at best, will dodge it by saying i'm not a scientist, i don't know. well, listen to the scientists. 97% of whom say that global warming is real, it's happening and it's a deadly threat. >> jeffrey, what about the discrepancy between the agency heads and the civil servants who staff the agencies and done a large part of the climate work for the obama administration? >> this is what we are seeing and there is some hope here
7:49 am
because a lot of these people are lifetime civil servants. they have the power of slowdown. they have the power, for lack of a better tem, passive aggression. they are required to bay thain superiors but work done that is in pursuit after good cause and work done grudgingly and we are seeing some danger already, the trump transition committee has already sent a 74 question questionnaire to the department of energy. >> which they pushed back on, though? >> they pushed back on, yes. that's a good thing. they had these are civil servants doing their job, so, no, we are not going to give you the names of people who attended u.n. conferences on climate change and not give you the names of people who studied the cost of carbon because that is an important study and these people are doing their jobs but still have a chilling effect. >> the paris agreement. president-elect trump says he expects to withdraw from that
7:50 am
which is the most international agreement on climate change, right? >> correct. >> first of all, can he? secondly, what would be the impact if he did? >> those are two very good questions and a little bit complicated. it is easier to withdrawal from than if it were a law passed by congress and signed into law by the president. but it is slightly harder than overturning a presidential executive order. the president can withdraw from it three years after implementation with one year's notice. so going by the rules, we agree to when we agreed to the accord, we have at least four years to belong to it. he could take a fast track and withdraw from it immediately with one year's notice but that also means withdrawing from the over arching u.n. framework on climate concerns. >> what about the fact that president-elect trump says he will scrap the president obama's clean power plan? how effective can he be in unwinding that? has industry not already moved
7:51 am
forward to some degree on this? >> industry has moved forward and the good thing you see the power of the market which conservatives purport to like and should all like the power of market and that has moved ahead to adapt to a clean energy environment. coal-fired plants are required to upgrade their equipment. now it's already being appealed, the law, the regulation is being appealed by people like scott pruitt, who is the new head of the epa. if the d.c. circuit court overturns the regulation, that will be it, it will be overturned. if they uphold it -- >> one last thing, quickly. if the president-elect pulls out of ultimately of the paris agreement, what would the impact of that be? >> well, it would be a little bit less than a few years ago when the u.s. had 4% of the world's population but produced 23% of its greenhouse gases. currently, we are down to about 17%. but that still means that the
7:52 am
countries that are abiding by it would be starting in a 17% hole since we would be saying we are not going to participate. >> thank you for being with us. coming up, meet a real super hero. we will tell you about a big day for a little boy. you're watching "cbs this morning: saturday." wait...what am i doing? you're searching!! oh, that's right! here i come!!! ohhh. i bet someone is hiding in that house... ouch!!! ohhh. oh, i bet someone is hiding in that...ahhh!!! oh, dory, are you okay? oh, let's cover that, it'll get better quicker. wait, what were we doing? hide and seek. oh, that's right. ready or not, here i come! guys, i'm still hiding! for all of life's mishaps, band-aid brand's got you covered. and bring home disney pixar's finding dory, today!
