home in seattle. they opened an investigation with washington state authorities but he has not been charged with a crime. the former olympic coach recently stepped down as ceo of king aquatics club after kukors went public. he wrote, quote, i absolutely deny having any sexual or romantic relationship with her before she was old enough to legally make those decisions for herself. prior to that time i did nothing to groom her. ariana kukors and her attorney robert allard are here. good morning. >> good morning. >> ariana, you said you would never share your story. why now? >> i never realized how important it was to speaking to my healing process and it really has been a journey in so many ways. i began therapy in october because i had reached a new -- a low point and i realized that while i have an amazing husband and amazing life and amazing

support system, i had. fully faced what had happened to me, and for so long writing what i wrote on friday and publishing it was a huge step in my healing processing, being able to put word os to what happened to me and i don't think i realized until i published it friday how important it was to spread that message. not only for myself to finally stand up and speak my truth and say what happened to me but the outpouring of messages i've received the last few days have been so impactful and i never thought that i would be here, sitting at this table. >> ariana, let's talk about that. when did this abuse start? how old were you? >> the groom zbang when i 13wus years old. i wow sate it began immediately. there's so many definitions. how i understand it is the process that a predator takes to first psychologically take over control you do and then perhaps it turns into a physical relationship.

>> how did he do that? >> in many ways. i said this in my essay. every single day we had to shake his hand. it seems like a simple nice gesture, but it's investigating contact with that person, shaking their hand and looking in their eyes. asking about things not only from your swimming career, but what's life like with your family, what are you doing at school? what are you doing this weekend? it's creating this relationship where you rely on this person for everything and you go to him for everything. . so as he guided me through this relationship of manipulation and control, he fully had control over me and prepared me for each step. >> swimming is a one-on-one sport. the better you do, you're rising together. talk about that. this isn't a team thing. this is just the two of you. >> yes. swimming is known to be an individual sport and you spend so much time. so when there were private meetings going on behind a closed hotel room door, you know, someone might look at that and think, oh, they're discussing race tactics or,000 get better.

that is inappropriate and those kinds of conversations should not be taking place behind closed doors. >> how is it he took thousands of nude photos of you. >> i sent some to him as well. he took pictures of me in the locker room. >> were you a minor then? >> yes. and the pictures wen s went on decade. >> you told us a story in 2009 you set the world record. >> yes. >> and that kind of grooming and that relationship that goes on, why that continues. >> well, i think one of the hardest pieces maybe for someone to understand is how this took place for so long. this process of gaining control over somebody. i've talked to so many parents and i've heard from so many parents in the last few days. don't talk to strangers, your

privates are your own. the conversation i hope they have is that your parents fully trust, your family trusts, your community is praising, what happens when that person uses that power and takes advantage of you and that's an important conversation and dialogue that i hope we can have. i feel the most vulnerable i've ever felt in my life this moment but i'm lifted up because of the messages i've received in the last few days for parents to say thank you for creating this dialogue between me and my kids. because of you i can go home and understand what this looks like and talk about this with my partner. >> ariana, in talking to yourself, you said you didn't recognize yourself who you were. imagine another girl in that position. what should she hear from you? >> the message is it doesn't matter what the abuse is. there are stories, oh, my story is not as bad. there's no such story as bad or

less bad. if you're being abused or somebody is taking advantage of you, no matter how you choose to find your voice, you will be heard. there are so many places that are open and receptive to these conversations. i want these people to know that they are amazing, that they don't have to rely on these predators, these people who take advantage of young people and abuse a relationship so horrifically. >> you found yourself in this position today because of your love for swimming. >> mm-hmm. >> do you still love the sport? do you still swim? >> yes, i love the sport in every way that you can imagine. i've so many messages from teammates and coaches and friends and people who grew up watching my career and i said this in my story. that black line, that space that you talk to and eventually that line starting talking back. i love swimming and i'm not here to necessarily share my story. what i'm here is to prevent this from happening to the next

person who is trying to chase their dreams, who's trying to show up as their best self every single day, because you don't have to rely on a man, another human being who wants to take responsibility for your success, who wants to be there every step of the way. and one of the biggest, biggest things that these predators do is they ice late you. they single you out. the things he told me constantly was you're the most impressive thing i've ever met. i see things in you that your sisters don't see and your parents don't see. and they put you on a pedestal so you're isolate and nobody can help you. you don't have to. surround yourself. my tribe of people, my husband who i'm bringing through this with me, he has been my rock and he has showed up formy every single day because he believes in this message. he believes that it's important not only for the family that we hope to create, but for the next

family, for every single person who has the opportunity to do this to somebody else. >> well, ariana, it will make a difference. abuse fosters in silence and you're breaking that silence. thank you so much for being here and sharing your story. rob, thank you for being here alongside you. >> i appreciate it. >> we have more news this morning. the newly revealed wedding plans. you're watching "cbs this morning."

roy moore who rejected allegations of pursuing teenage girls when he was in his 30s. >> roy moore denies it. that's all i can say. he denies it. and by the way, he totally denies it. >> reporter: the president backed former fox news host bill o'reilly. after claiming o'reilly harassed them. mr. trump told the "times," quote, he is a good person. i don't think bill would do anything wrong. o'reilly calls the harassment allegations wrong. >> all of a sudden they're saying these horrible things about him. it's very sad because he's a very good person. >> ailes resigned from fox news although he denied the allegations until his death.

mitch mcconnell snatched a bill off the shelf last week, something random that would pass if they ever brought it up on its own. he said, look, we're going to use it as a shell. you can change the immigration bill so long as it gets 60 votes. at this point we're expecting, democrats, republicans separately, democrats, republicans togethers to bring forward a be up. of propose algs to see what if anything they can bring to the senate. >> this is like the old days.y' something from the white house. >> exactly. >> if something gets 60 votes s there any chanc >> that's the big question. that's really what's bee devilling members as they sort this out. paul ryan said they'll hold a vote in the house so long as president trump supports. we know there are those things he wants to do.

the republicans have voted on it. it probably won't pass. at that point they have to sit there and go what can we take away or add to it to get to 0 and then hope that the president likes it and hope the house will vote on it. >> what is the substance that the house is not liking? >> in the trump proposal? the republicans like the trump proposal. the problem is the democrats don't. there may be a fair number of republicans who don't either because they may have a problem with the chain migration issue. it's one of those, we don't know how it's going end. >> they're running up against a march 5th deadline. any plans on possibly extending that? >> the white house has said the deadline is march 5th, but courts are still thinking about this and what exactly should be the scope of the program. homeland security still has to accept visa renewals. so it's conceivable the program could continue through the summer. >> switching the rob porter and

the sexual abuse and domestic violence allegations that have been levied there, what is some of the oversight they want. >> democrats last week, it was like every hour there was some democrat calling for an investigation. the problem is the white house sends most of those e-mails right to the delete folder. >> you have a dozen aides dwhoenlt have permanent security clearances, one of which the president's soerj might be reading the presidential daily brief every day. >> and the rbs so far have refused to take up the issue at all saying this is something for the fbi to deal with. this goes with an argument they talked about over the weekend. i think at this point given you have somebody accused of domestic violence -- >> so they're going to keep that from the public? >> not publicly. we know privately they've got concerns. the question is what are they going to do because they say,

look, these people work at the pleasure of the pretty. if he wants them to work for him, there's nothing they can do to stop him. >> quickly, is the infrastructure stalled on arrival? >> yes. >> ed o'keefe, thank you so much. great to see you. well, the war in syria is spilling beyond its borders and raising tensions between israel and iran. an israeli fighter jet went down this weekend after coming under heavy anti-aircraft fire. the plane was involved in air strikes on iranian targets inside syria. seth doane is at har duf at the site of the crash. good morning. >> reporter: this is where the f-16 crashes. it's first time a military jet had been shot out of the sky since the early 1980s. shockingly it was struck down in

israeli airspace. the president worries this could be the start of a new phase in this war that has ground on for seven years in syria, one where we see a direct confrontation between iran and israel. over the weekend israel saw what has long worried about iran allegedly using a base from inside syria to launch a drone into israeli territory. israeli's shot the drone out of the sky once it entered israeli's territory and then launched f-16s in retaliation to tar get positions inside syria. then it appears russian president vladimir putin stepped in to try to calm things down. they would like to see this war come to a close and not enter into a new war and escalate. john? >> seth doane in northern israel. thanks. >> a minnesota family is roo rootsing for two different hockey teams. >> reporter: two ste

a new report explores the challenges that some employees say have plagued the social network for years. first on "cbs this morning" we have a look inside "wired" magazine's march 2018 cover story about facebook. "wired" spoke to 51 current and past facebook employees about their challenges. it has made ceo mark zuckerberg much more paranoid about the way people can abuse the thing that

he built. the company has not responded to our request for a comment. nick thompson co-wrote the article and is joining us now. quite the article. the cover shows a beat up mark zuckerberg. over the past two years you've seen the stock price shoot up and revenue as well. but he's had a lot of head jake. talk about the main one? >> this has been the hardest two years for mark zuckerberg. he's had employees upset, past employees are tearing apart the fabric of society. with that he also looked confident. facebook actually thinks it's starting to solve the problem it created. >> what's the big problem it thinks it's finally got a handle on? >> i think they didn't understand that it could be misused. they thought the more people use facebook the better the world will be and they watched in 2016 when it didn't have the best

effect on american democracy, it hasn't had the greatest effect on the new industry and now it' >> was that willful blissfulness or did they just not know that it could be abused by not only fake news but people who could become adiked to it. >> it's super complicated. the more it grows, the more money they make. but also a lot of the problems come because it is at its core a democratic forum. it isn't for malice. it's because they set it for everyone to look the same. down the line that has a huge effect on society. >> talk about some of the things you were able to uncover. first of all the topics surrounding facebook? >> what happened is there was a story that ran that said trending topics is biased against republicans and so

facebook reacted very strongly to that. they said, no, we can't have that out there. first they said the story is false. then they invited all of these republicans to come out to men low park to meet. but what lots and lots of people told us is that after that moment they became really be seen as against tion that republicans or against trump and that is partly why fake news which mostly favored truck and the russian operations which favored trump went unnoticed that. was one of our biggest takeaways. >> you talked about the meeting with republicans an they have strategized to bore them as much as they could to get them off topic or get away from the tougher questions they were asking. you say they found no systemic bay y bias. what did they do? >> they had people who helped plan the meeting. they not only wanted to bore the republicans who came in. they wanted to get republicans

in from different categories and not make a unified front. after that meeting happened they started to look in and they started to look into their news feed. they started to look at some of the biggest questions. does facebook drag us apart, look more partisan, favor outreach. ultimately they began those investigations. they didn't pursue it very hard an then they started to look more closely at what the algorithms were doing. >> in the piece you describe mark zuckerberg as not sleeping at night, remorseful and truly as having been altered. >> yeah. >> how has he been altered? >> if you look at his answers for the past three months, he would say if there's a problem with society, people will use facebook. that was his answer. now he says people need to look at facebook as time well spent. we need to help local news. he's really turning around all

these issues. >> nick thompson, congratulations on all of your reporting. social media exploded with criticism after american figure skater adam rippon placed third at the olympics despite his nearly flawless routine. ahead, why he scored lower than other ice skaters who fell on the ice. and we invite you to subscribe to our cbs news podcasts. find them all on itunes and apple's ipod app.

"usa today" reports a major oxycontin maker is cutting its sayles staff and won't talk to doctors. purdue wants pharma to stop encouraging doctors to write prescriptions for painkillers. its sales representatives will promote nonopioid drugs instead. "the wall street journal" reports unilever will reduce ad spending that doesn't combat divisive content.

it spent more than $9 billion last year alone. it hopes to weed out content that funds terrorism, exploits children, spreads false news or supports racist or sexist news. >> "new york times" study reports on facial recognition being accurate if you're a white guy. gender was misidentified in up to 1% of lighter skinned males. for darker skinned males it was up to 12%. for darker skinned females, it was up to pa%. "u.s. news & world report" says the team behind "peter rabbit" is accused of making fun of allergies. sony pictures and the filmmakers say they regret not being more aware and sensitive to the issue. and "business insider" reports the 17-year-old

snowboarder and my new favorite olympian who won the first gold medal for the u.s. at this year's winter olimb pilks woke up late for the day's event but red gerard woke up. he reportedly fell asliev watching netflix friday and didn't wake up when he was supposed to at 6:00 a.m. his roommate, good for him, woke him up at 6:20. he had to borough his roommate's jacket when he couldn't find his own. he still managed to get it all together. >> that's what happens when you're 17 years old. this morning we take a look at the city of stockton as part of our ongoing series "american voices." in 2012 stockton filed for bankruptcy and was one of forbes' most miserable cities in america. stockton is now ranked second healthiest but more than

one-fourth lives below the poverty line. >> mayor tubs wbs was elected a age 26. he's the first african-american mayor. mayor tubbs is addressing his town's poverty with an innovative and controversial program to give stockton residents $500 a month to fight economic hardship. he's with us now. good morning. >> good morning and thanks so much for having me. >> i know your city has struggled with income inequality and basic necessities. >>. >> doctor king before he passed, even richard knicks p. the idea is especially in california, one in two cannot afford emergencies. people are working harder and harder only to fall further behind. so a group called economic security project was looking for funding. given the challenges and also given the resilience, i thought it would be a good fit for us. >> you know the first stop of

the krit simple is give people money and they won't work. it doesn't innocent fies them. it's a welfare program. >> the research says something different. there was a study done that found $4,000 to $6,000 a year did good things. education rose, drug use went down and there was no labor market impact. so we're hoping to see something similar in stockton. >> there's a wide span of supporters from bernie sanders to branson. it started in august? >> august. we have a director who will work with the community, working out the kinks, and hopefully by the time school starts, we're starting. >> what are some of the criteria it will have if you get the basic income. what are some of the thing kbrouts in the program to avoid the criticism? >> the idea is to do it. the second tenent will be no

strings attached. we trust they'll make the best decision understanding everyone's not going to do it right, i guess. >> is there a penalty if you don't do it right? >> no. it's $500, no strings attached. the idea is to have a conversation about the economic system of the country but i like stories on how much $500 can do whether it's a difference for a mother who can pay for child support to get back into the worse force or for an artist. it's about stories. >> stockton is not far from silicon valley. why hasn't it reaped some of the benefits and that huge amount of wealth in that area? >> we're working on it. oftentimes we've been so tunnel vision because we're close. we're also worlds away. the diversity, income. just this month we announced a

$20 million score arship program. >> you've had quite the economic recovery in 2012 when you just graduated from college. let me ask you because the president has been touting a lot of his initiatives over the past year. have you seen that come to fruition in your city? have you seen your citizens reap the benefits of what the president said he's been doing over the past year? >> we're hoping to reap the benefits from the opportunities program. but honestly a lot of time has been spent quelling fears especially around immigration. for your the past year we've been having a conversation about values. a majority of our population are immigrants or children of immigrants. so when we're talking about taking away from families, it cause as huge ripple effect in the community. we've been feeling those. we're a precede diversity. >> what has been the reaction from the attorney general, jeff sessions to threaten to punish stockton for your immigration

policy? >> which is interesting. the letter talked about jails and the city doesn't operate jails. the county does. swenlt a letter back nicely and said we're a city of immigrants. we're not going to stop and frisk someone based on immigration status. if you want, you can talk to the sheriff who's in charge of the jails in the city of stockton. we respond when needed. >> talk about the ripple effects in terms of what the president is saying to this immigrant community. >> it cause as lot of feefrmt then we see children aren't going to school, for example or students reporting crimes or people not engaging with government in a way. for that to happen in stockton is bad. a majority of our population are either foreign born or their parents are, meaning that that is our community and if they're not a part of it, we don't have the civic life we need. >> let me ask you another question. some people are calling it cash for criminals, which is a program that pays a stipend to

young people who aren't involved in crime. >> advanced peace. the idea is that in most urban cities, a small percentage of people commit the most violent crimes and while the cops will still do their things and jails exist, i think we owe it to invest in them. it's a private fellowship and if they meet certain criterion, they're eligible based on stipend work. it goes on the ethos of earning your keep and we're making sure we do everything we can to help earn in the community. >> is it correct -- i read that only 17.4% of stockton residents have bachelor degrees. >> that's absolutely correct. we're working hard to change that. we're working on letting young people see how it's attainable. that's going to be a long-term key. >> you're quite successful yourself, a 26-year-old mayor,

stanford grad. what made you decide you were ready to be mayor of stockton? >> i spent four years on the council in the community i grew up in. we're small but we're huge. we closed down problem liquor stores, opened up health clinics. people would come to the council meetings saying you onto care about south stockton. at first i thought i was doing my job. then i thought they were saying the rest of the city could use leadership. then i thought i would run for 2016. it's been a nice long fun journey. >> you've brought a lot of innovation. thank you for joining us. olympic hockey is an affair fo

the winter olympics are taking place in freezing cold temperatures, but the relationship between north and south korea appears to be thawing. for the first time the two countries fe countries have a joint hockey team. players from the south joined the national team. sisters from one american family are both competing but with an unusual twist. dana jacobson is in pyeongchang,

south korea, with their improbable story. dana, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. siblings competing in the same sport is nothing new, but siblings competing in two different countries is rare. it's only happened a couple of times. at this winter olympics, that's exactly what hannah and marissa brandt are doing. >> we're so close in age. we did everything together. we were in it all together. >> reporter: marissa and hannah brand have teemed up all their lives but they're taking the ice for two different teams. hannah for team usa. >> my mom told me at one point i was watching the olympics and i said i want to be out there, what do i do, how do they find me. >> reporter: marissa for the unified team. >> getting a call for korea was something i couldnd say no to.

i said yes right away. the opportunity happen and i can't believe we're here now. being able to represent my birth country is just amaze, nothing i could have ever dreamed up. >> reporter: born in south korea, marissa was 4 months old when she was adopted by greg and robin brand. her home, 6,000 miles away in a picturesque st. paul, minnesota. youngest on a usa hockey team. >> it's a dream to be there, with my sister too. i want to enjoy every second of it. >> reporter: while hannah and marissa are now competitors on the ice, that wasn't always the case. >> we have been able to play on the same team pretty much every year growing up and spent a lot of time together. >> sounds like you guys created an incredible bond with that. >> yeah. i think definitely hockey

brought us closer together. >> connects, that bond lasted while they each played hockey for different schools. brandt. brand. >> reporter: now for different countries. both sisters get to play in the olympics. what does that mean? >> it's kind of like fate. i don't they'rer this of us could have ever dreamed it. our parents are so proud for both of us and the journey that's ahead. >> reporter: what is it like knowing you have two daughters going to the olympics? >> it's going to be busy because we have game every day. i don't think we ever imagined it. >> can you explain the pride you must feel? >> one for the u.s.? you're just so prideful in that. >> and marissa representing korea. >> representing her home country of korea, her birth country, so unbelievable. >> and for you it's a chance for you to go to a country that brought you your daughter.

>> we had always hoped we would be able to go as family but with all the things we've done it's never been able to happen. it's really special now to go to the olympics and see where marissa came from. she's going to show us around. it's really unbelievable. >> marissa says spending time here in south korea while training for the olympics has helped her embrace for the country and the culture, that she's more accepting of herself and her roots. >> kwlour nayour snam, whaname,? >> my name will be my birth name. maybe my birth mom will come forward and read my story and put two and two together and maybe say something. >> if you could say something to your birth mother, what would you say? >> i don't know. it's going make me cry. maybe that i'm just thankful

oo8z z12fz y2oo8y y12fy i own my own company. i had some severe fatigue, some funny rashes. finally, listening to my wife, went to a doctor. and i became diagnosed with hodgkin's lymphoma... that diagnosis was tough. i had to put my trust in somebody. when i first met steve, we recommended chemotheherapy, and then we did high dose therapy and then

autologous stem cell transplant. unfortunately, he went on to have progressive disease. i thought that he would be a good candidate for immune therapy. it's an intravenous medicine that can affect the patient's immune system and unleash it against the cancer. with chemotherapy, i felt rough, fatigue, nauseous. and with immune therapy we've had such a positive result. i'm back to working hard. i've honestly never felt this great. i believe the future of immunotherapy at ctca is very bright. the evolution of cancer care is here. appointments available now.

that does it for us. be sure to tune in to the evening news wit
