the stock market. the virtual occurrence closed at around $6,000, down 70% from the all-time high of nearly 20,000 in december. uber is defending itself this week in a california courtroom over its development of self-driving technology. the alphabet-owned company wamo is suing uber. wamo accuses the ride-sharing giant of stealing trade secrets to create itsself-driving cars. a former wamo engineer allegedly stole more than 14,000 do began for uber where he's accused of sharing that proprietary information. >>, burr said,waymo's technology down to the micron." editor-in-chief of "wired," good morning. opening statements happened yesterday. what does we learn? >> we learned this is going to be an intense case. the meeting notes seemed like
7:59 am
travis kalanick said they wanted a pound of flesh, data. there was a case that there was a conspiracy to get the trade secrets and leap ahead. as uber says, this isn't really about meetings, conspiracies, text messages, destroyed files, it's about whether the systems in our self-driving car uses google's tech, and it doesn't. that's where we are. >> ultimately, what do you think it will come down to? >> there's going to be amazing drama all week. it's going to be an awesome trial. >> talk about the characters involved. >> there's travis kalanick, the guy who led uber, turned it into this amazing company, millions and millions, and got fired. problem after problem. google, waymo, is trying to make it about travis, the rogue, reckless company he ran. then the guy who's alleged to have stolen all the files, lewandowski, a brilliant guy. clearly invented self-defining cars but has a church that
8:00 am
worships artificial intelligence. he's peculiar. we've got travis, lewandowski, but it's going to come down to the closed portion in the case where they shut the doors and look at the tech. >> garbage dumps? >> one of the questions is, so, lewandowski disappeared with 14,000 files and all of this stuff. he then says, oh, i destroyed it, it didn't go to uber. nobody can track it down. there's been a period of time where they tried to figure out where exactly did you destroy it? do you have the receipts and date right? >> could he said, this is just what i know, just my knowledge? >> yes. that was an interesting point that the judge made yesterday. he said, look, even if there is some google stuff in uber's technology, you have to prove it's particular. you have to prove it's a straight secret. >> it could be standard self-driving technology? >> obvious stuff. also when employees leave your company and go somewhere else, they don't get lob on lobotomie. >> tough with h.r.
8:01 am
is there a specific part of the self-driving technology that's key to the case? >> all about the lidar. the laser, the little thing, it blasts out lasers and makes a map of what the world looks like. and that's the key thing that google has, and they say uber's rips ours off. >> nick thompson, good to have you here. thank you very much. this morning we're getting a rare look at one of the world's most deadly conflicts. more than 10,000 people in yemen have died during a three-year civil war. millions more are threatened by famine and disease. yemen's government is backed by saudi arabia. it's fighting rebel forces backed by iran. we got access to see its version of the war. >> reporter: these fighters are taking us to the front line which is at the top of this mountain range. for nearly three years, saudi arabia has been backing these yemen govnment soldiers, fighting a brutal war against

winter olympics will take place in just four days. the games will be held in cha pyeongchang, south korea. 78 miles from the capital, seoul. host cities hope the olympics bring a huge boost in trouble, t it often comes high price. the south korean olympic stadium cost $60 just four times it's c repurposed and turned into a smaller venue, along with an exhibition center and olympic museum. ben tracy is in pyeongchang with
8:11 am
concerns about whether the olympic investments will pay off. ben, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. so that is the $60 million stadium that they call temporary. cost being $13 billion, paid are largely by the south korean government. but the building binge here began even before they were awarded the games. they built this massive ski jumping facility in pyeongchang back in 2009 in part tow that south korea was serious about hosting the games. >> pyeongchang.[ cheers ] >> reporter: itworked. and now this county of just 45,000 people has an olympic stadium that can seat 35,000 of them. ice rinks worth $400 million have been built. there's a $100 million bobsled and luge track, and a brand-new $200 million downhill skiing course. >> they need to minimize the spending. >> reporter: sung-bae roger park
8:12 am
is a sports economist. >> when you have a party like olympic games, everyone is celebrating. after the party's over, somebody's going to clean up. and somebody's going to pay for the money. i think that will be taxpayers. >> reporter: dozens of unused olympic venues now span the globe. most of the facilities built in rio for the summer games less than two years ago are already abandoned and rotting. 12 venues were built for the pyeongchang games, costing more than $1.5 billion. there are no post-olympic plans for at least three of them including that $200 million downhill course which is likely to be bulldozed. this is the olympic speed skating oval, and they're not sure what they're going to do with this after the games. it cost about $120 million to build. and a local company did swould storing frozen fish. but some venues will have an olympic afterlife. the figure skating rink will become an indoor gym. the ski jump landing area
8:13 am
doubles as a soccer field. the entire athletes village has been sold off as condominiuiums. the olympic stadium will become a park and museum. the one thing they've built that will likely get used long after the games is this bullet train. it takes people from downtown seoul to pyeongchang in just about 90 minutes. the old train took about six hours. south korea spent $10 billion on infrastructure, including the train and new highways. >> now that we have this great infrastructure and world-class venues, the athletes are coming up. we are certain that the pyeongchang games will have a lasting impact in winter sports in korea. so we're very excited about it. >> reporter: the international olympic committee used to demand that host cities build brand-new venues, but now they're encouraging them to reuse or upgrade existing facilities. for instance, beijing will be hosting the 2022 winter olympics. and they plan to reuse their

highest number in nearly a decade. it's killed at least 53 children so far including two right here in new york city in the past week. while the flu vaccine is on average 40% to 60% effective, the season's effectiveness may be closer to just 17%. dr. david agus joins us to discuss. we're so glad you're here. i don' know anybody that isn't worried about the flu, thinking about the flu, and thinking that once you get it, it could be a death sentence. put it in perspective for us about how bad or how serious it is. >> to tell you how serious it is, gayle king got a flu shot this year. >> yeah. >> that tells you right there. >> healtying from the flu. >> yeah. 1970, 80 million-plus people died of the flu. flu has always been here. this year is a bad strain compared to other years. you know, it comes in droplets. when we speak, droplets go out, and virus can spread just by speaking to somebody. and then your body makes an immune response against the flu. the immune response is what makes you feel sick. when immune responses are really profound and big, that can make
8:18 am
you be hospitalized. we've seen it. healthy people in their teens, 20s, 30s hospitalized and die in a day or two. >> you're saying healthy people always die from the flu. >> every year they die from the flu. this year's strain, h3n2, is particularly virulent and resistant to vaccine. >> what else should you do? should people think about masks, using hand sanitizer? >> in asia people use masks not to prevent getting the flu, so they don't spread it to somebody else. it's the respect is you put it on when you have it, but stay home. we're seeing it. i'm tough, i'm going to go to work. they need me at work. what happens is you spread it to two or three people, they spread it to ten or 20, and it goes around. take care of other people. stay home if you feel sick. >> we know that taking the vaccine can also legsen the effects if you -- lessen the effects if you get the flu. i looked this up this morning -- only four states require preschool force get a flu vaccine to enter daycare. should we be thinking about mandating the flu vaccine?
8:19 am
>> i'm a believer in it. i think there's no downside. i do believe that flu vaccines, even in a bad year like this year, whether it's 10%, 20%, 30% effective in the u.s., we'll see, but it helps you. if you get the vaccine and get a strain that's not in the vaccine, the severity won't be as great. all of us should have it. to protect everybody else, we should mandate it because that woman around the corner who's elderly or that child, we have to protect them also. >> good to have you here. thank you very much. nearly three quarters of facebook users in the u.s. check the social network every day. facebook's head of global safety is in our toyota green room. ahead, how the company is answering critics who say the site is addictive. and tomorrow, we visit chance the rapper in his hometown of chicago to see how his open mic project gives high school students a chance to really shine. you're watching "cbs this morning." we thank you for that.

8:28 am
>> he will. check companies are under increasing pressure to address what many insiders describe as digital addiction. new research shows 68% of american adults use facebook. 74% check the site every day. we reported yesterday on former high-tech industry employees launching a so-called truth about tech campaign, warning against constant connectivity. they accuse companies like facebook of fostering addictive behavior by "making deliberate decision that's do great harm." facebook's head of global safety joins us now. good morning. >> good morning. >> tell us the charges of addiction, that facebook tries to get people addicted. >> first of all, there's a lot of misinformation and miscommunication about the concept. addiction and how -- concept of addiction and how people are engaging on line. we at facebook try to make sure people engage in a positive, safe way.
8:29 am
on facebook we changed the way your news feed works to promote conversations with family and friends. >> the meaningful conversations may draw me in even deeper. those are what you want to know about. therefore, wouldn't that make me more addicted? >> again, i think that we know that people are utilizing these technologies, we take the issue seriously. we've invested in research to look at these issues. we're trying to develop ways that our technology is meaningful and positive for people. changing news feed or recently we launched messenger kids. i don't know how much you know about that. but that's a video chat app for kids that is actually -- it has no ads. it is parent controlled. really designed to figure out what people need and to make sure that we're creating a positive experience. >> we have done stories about that. has facebook done its own research into tech addiction? >> we've recently put a lot of money investing into this research. we've done some research. what we do find is that people engage in different ways. so i'll give an example. some sometimes we see when
8:30 am
people are post being something that may distress them that people will actually respond in a really positive way and provide support. those are the kind of connections that we want to ensure that we're helping to support and create. >> i've been looking at some of the studies, and one that's been cited by the association for psychological science found that nearly half of teens who spend more than five hours on electronic devices report feeling lonely, planned or attempted suicide. too much screen time is a bad thing. does facebook agree with that? >> i think this is really a question for parents, right. every parent knows their child best. they know how much time they think a child should spend on line and how they want them using those technologies. what we're trying to do is really give parents control. so for instance today, on safer internet day, a day that marks online safety and being responsible with online technologies, we're launching something called parent conversations to ensure that
8:31 am
parents have the tools that they need. parent conversations give parents the latest in academic research, the latest in research from child development experts to really give them the tools they need to make those decisions wisely. >> as a parent, i don't want more tools. i want to stop having to dive in front of the phone that my children can't get away from. do you worry that that kind of reaction may cause parents to throw the phone across the room and that's it, no more facebook, no more nothing? >> i'll give an example from my own -- with my own child. so -- >> how old is your child? >> she's now college age. we actually grew up with these technologies sort of learning with these technologies. i really understand as a mom deeply what it is to not know necessarily how to do this and where do i get advice, which is part of what's behind all this work. with my daughter, when we gave her her phone, we saw the glow from her room at night. i really wanted her of to downtime before bed.
8:32 am
and so we made a rule -- about an hour before bed, phones down. her first thing she said was, well, you don't do that. so that was a good lesson. i had to learn to put my phone down, which we both did. we put it on the nightstand. and that's where it went down. i did go to check e-mail before bed. then again, i put it down which was important. >> you're saying do what i do -- >> yes. >> parents should set their examples, what you're saying. yesterday we had people at the table from truth about tech. they were say figure facebook is serious about this -- saying if facebook is serious about this, they have to change their business model. do you think that's necessary? are there plans for facebook to do that? >> well, i think two examples that -- that i gave are looking at how we utilize news feed. and figuring out we promote meaningful connections is one thing. by the way, we knew when we did that that was probably going to decrease the amount of time spent on our platform, and it did. that seemed like the right decision. >> is there evidence that -- say the model is not altruistic.
8:33 am
facebook i think grew up as a way for people to share and connect. now it's a way to make money, an advertising company. facebook made $40 billion in advertising. you want people on there as often as possible because it helps you sell more ads. >> well, i think -- again, i think we've made changes to ensure, for instance, in news feed. but i do think we're really looking to create positive connections. and that -- that's a long-term business model. i mean, doing what's right for this is actually in our best -- is in our best interests. it is in our best interests for people, as well as for the community of people using facebook for the connections to be meaningful. for people to see value. and that's what we're trying to accomplish. >> to connect on that level. antigone, great to have you here. appreciate it. and we are moments away from meeting the author of oprah winfrey's newest book club pick. ahead and only on "cbs this morning," oprah's announcement about the intriguing novel she says you'll want to

that you're going to love it. "an american marriage." tayari jones. >> "an american marriage" is tayari jones' fourth novel. it is on sale today whenever you like to buy your books. she joins us at the table. congratulations. >> wow. >> thank you. >> let me tell you something -- it's difficult for oprah to find a book that she likes. it takes months and months, the team works on it. when she finds it she gets major attitude if she gives it to you and don't read it right away. she is very excited about this book. what i find interesting is that you got the idea from seeing a couple argue in the mall. >> yes, i was in atlanta, my hometown. and i was trying to write a novel. i wanted to write a novel, you know, that was more timely, dealing with the issues of the day. i couldn't find the people for the story. and i went to the mall and saw a couple. they were obviously in love and in trouble. she was beautifully dressed, cashmere coat, the whole nine. he looked fine.

fine. she looked wonderful. >> you said he had scuffed shoes? >> yes, but she was so put together. he looked like he'd had a long day -- perhaps a long life even though they were the same age. >> what did you hear that you thought there's a book there? >> she said, "roy, you know you wouldn't have waited on me for seven years." and i was intrigued because i didn't know roy, but i felt fairly confident that he wouldn't wait on her for seven years. but he said, "what are you talking about? this wouldn't have happened to you in the first place." >> the idea was born. >> so the story is about this couple that you saw, but in your book, their lives are turned upside down because roy is sent to prison for a crime that he didn't commit. >> yes, and they're only married 18 months. as she -- she says, i was a newlywed. i was still combing rice from my hair. and he is given a lengthy sentence that's over ten times the time they've been married. but they are married. so the question is, can this marriage survive? even if this marriage doesn't
8:41 am
survive, can this relationship survive? then can this man survive? >> and not to spoil it, but it comes out of this argument, just a regular old couples argument that they have and it ripples out. you saw it at the lenox mall, why decide to put it inside of an argument, or were you -- this is what real people do, and these are real people's arguments? >> for me when i see two people arguing and they both seem to have a legitimate point, i know i have a novel. for me a novel cannot have a clear person who's right or wrong. and i could see both their sides of it. and i had already -- i had taken a fellowship at harvard at the radcliffe institute to research lawful incarceration but had the problem but not the people. you know, i was always told by my mentor, he said, write about people and their problems, don't write about problems and their people. >> whoa. >> and so at your harborvieward fellowship -- harvard fellowship, what did you learn about american prisons and
8:42 am
what's going on? >> i learned really -- you know, horrifying things like america incarcerates more of its citizens than any other developed country. louisiana has the largest prison population in the world. i learned all these really shocking statistics, but i was shocked, i was outraged. but statistics did not inspire me. as a novelist, it's people that inspire me. >> yeah. i love -- there's one line that caught my eye, you said, "roy caught her breath with a kiss that tasted like desire streaked with anger." that doesn't seem like a good place to be. to me. >> i feel like he's been in prison and so much of his dreams has hung on this marriage. >> interesting to see how this turns out. i want to know when oprah first called you -- you pick up the phone and it's oprah on the line. >> i was driving my car. i thought it was lee haber calling -- >> book editor. >> sometimes i review for the magazine. i thought she needed me to pinchhit something last minute. that's why she was calling so late. i was like, hey?
8:43 am
and it was oprah coming through my car stereo. and i live in las vegas, and i pulled over. i pulled over -- i couldn't continue to drive. and i pulled over on a dark road. and it was oprah winfrey. talking to me. i'm trying to talk to her. and people are like tapping on my window asking me do i have a quarter, do i have a dollar. i'm shoeing them away. i'm trueing -- i'm shooing them away. i'm trying to talk to oprah. the most exciting thing that ever happened to me in my life. >> i know she was very excited to pick this book. she likes it very, very much. i can't wait to see people's reaction. >> beautifully done. really beautifully done. >> thank you. >> called "an american marriage." very nicely done. you can visit cbsthismorning.com for an excerpt and find a guide in oprah's book called "content" that will post over the coming weeks. don't miss oprah's interview with tayari jones in the march issue of "o," the oprah
