i mean, they couldn't be more different in so many ways. warren buffett would say the business attack is not his circle of competence but i think larry page is looking at warren buffett's success and saying, yes, this is one of the greatest inter life in any sciences and robots and these are larry page's passion projects. >> the brand, too. everyone knows google. nobody knows alphabet. >> what is interesting this is larry page, we have to go, but larry page came to the ceo job because he wanted to run things and now he is patching it to a new generation of leadership at the individual companies so he can join sergei and think about the future. >> we will talk about more of this later this morning during the break, how about that? mellody hobson, thank you.

scandal. the two saints at sayerville high school were 17 at the time of the 2014 cases. charges of aggravated sexual assault and other charged were dropped. the detroit news reports on statehouse officials seizing computers and records from the office of two michigan lawmakers cindy gamrat and todd courser are tufed of hideaccused of hiding their sex scandal and each married to someone else and now under investigation. the pair may have used state money in the alleged cover-up. secret recordings were at the center of the case. >> reporter: state representative todd could you sayer and cindy gamrat are both married and with children and tea party activists and social conservatives and tried to cover up their adultery with a plot even has seasoned politicians scratching their heads.

>> reporter: in may, rpts across michigan received an e-mail with accusations against representative todd courser and claimed he was caught on video having sex with a male prostitute and calling him the following. >> i'm todd courser and i'm running for state senate. >> reporter: a man who apparently sent the e-mail, courser, himself. the detroit news obtained these audio recordings of courser discussing his plan with an aide. at the time, rumors of his affair with representative cindy gamrat, another freshman republican, were swirling throughout the capitol. >> that is thick! i mean, for them to concoct something like this, they made

themselves look so bad! >> reporter: phil ballenger found the influential newsletter inside "michigan politics. >> >> i haven't seen anything of rank amateurs out of control the way this one is. >> reporter: on monday, courser begged for forgive us and accused three former aides and including the one who secretly recorded him of blackmail. he said the fake e-mail helped ferret them out. courser accused house speaker kevin cotter of spying on him, something the republican leader denied. an internal investigation is under way. but democrats called for the state's attorney general to step in. >> there's some very serious allegations involved. allegations of a criminal nature. the taxpayers of the state are owed a thorough investigation of this. >> reporter: house investigators are going through could you sayer and gamrat's laptops and

computers and e-mails to determine if any rules or state laws were violated. neither responded to "cbs this morning" request for comment. courser former aides denied his blackmail allegation saying attempts to blame others instead of accepting responsibility is unfortunate. this kind of falls under the you can't make it up. >> oh, no. >> you can't even make that up. what a story. unbelievable. thank you. coca-cola is under fire this morning in the battle over america's obesity epidemic. the soda giant donated millions to spread the message that americans pay too much attention to what they eat and drink instead of focusing on how much they exercise. much of the money went to a nonprofit called "the global energy balance network" that supports this argument. our dr. david agus is in los angeles. good morning. >> good morning. >> reporter: you're outraged by this? >> oh, it's just astounding.

no transparency, these three university professors say not what you eat but how much you exercise is responsible for obesity and diabetes and they are funded by coca-cola and it wasn't even stated on their website until last week that coca-cola was behind all of this. >> in fact, doctor, listen to one of the leading scientists from this nonprofit group in this video. >> most of the folks in the popular media and in the scientific press, is although they are eating too much, eating too much, eating too much and blaming fast food and blaming sugary drinks and so on. there is really virtually no compelling evidence that that is in fact, the cause. >> is that true there is no compelling evidence that is the cause? >> come on. the. the scientific and media world are against cokeca-cola and a push to drink coke in this country. the data is the opposite. to lose weight you have to do, both. exercise and reduce the calories in. that data are very clear.

it's also very clear that drinking sugary sodas is responsible for deaths in the united states. a publication last year put that number at 25,000 deaths a year related to the excess consumption of sugary drinks. >> we have seen a decline in the sales of those kind of drinks, correct? >> yes. over the last ten years, there has been a yearly decline. so this is one of the lowest over the last, you know, decades of soda drinks. obviously, there has to be a reaction from these companies saying let's figure out a way to shift the blame and push it elsewhere to get people to drink more of these and this is not appropriate. we need real transparency here. a university professor has a responsibility to the public of speaking truth and of being transparent where is or her funding come from. these are taxpayer nonprofit institutions. we can't allow these things to happen. >> on that note in a blog post, doctor, coke defended its saying at coke, we believe a balanced

diet and regular exercise are two key ingredients for a healthy lifestyle and that is reflected in both our long-term and short-term business actions. is this ethical? >> it's an appropriate statement and i agree with that. at the same time, is that you cannot then fund websites that push the opposite. it's a what you say and what you do have to be in line with each other. they are saying the right thing here but they are, obviously, not doing the right thing so we need to stand up to this. >> the rule for today is eat and drink less and exercise more. >> the rule is moderation. drinking sugary sodas is a recreational activity. we have a right to do it but, at the same time, we have to be transparent already health effects to what we do. >> we are laughing -- >> she thinks -- she loves the word moderation and i don't. >> i say moderation and charlie says full passion in liven. when you say i'm for moderation

we shot a little glance to each other. >> i love it. >> if you keep eating the big macs, you won't get that six-pack. an elite of a runner is battling over branding. he is giving up big money to take a stand. that is next. if you're heading on ing oning on off to work, set your dvr so you can watch "cbs this morning" any time. we will be right back. i don't want to live with the uncertainties of hep c. or wonder... ...whether i should seek treatment. i am ready. because today there's harvoni. a revolutionary treatment for the most common type of chronic hepatitis c. harvoni is proven to cure up to 99% of patients... ...who've had no prior treatment. it's the one and only cure that's... ...one pill, once a day for 12 weeks. certain patients... ...can be cured with just 8 weeks of harvoni.

good morning. it's 7:56 on this tuesday, august 11th. get ready for a soaker out there today. we are tracking heavy rain for parts of the area. good morning once again, i'm chris wragge. ilana gold live in one of our mobile 2 units with live conditions this morning. >> reporter: we are headed north through newark on the garden state parkway, and this is in the direction of the storm. we are traveling through fairly heavy rain, and you can see there's a lot of traffic out here as well. the rain has been coming down all morning long it will rain lightly, and then the heavy downpours are just minutes later. it's sporadic, and when the rain comes down, visibility is tough, and at times we can only see three cars ahead of us. the downpours may continue for

your morning commute. if you're headed out today, just be aware and take it slow. live many newark, new jersey, ilana gold, cbs 2 news. >> ilana, thank you. let's check on mass transit now, alex denis. >> reporter: p.a.t.h. service has just clear at the hoboken and world trade center, but riders should expect residual delays, and we are seeing delays at laguardia. a live look outside where weather is causing at least an hour wait on arrivals not only here but jfk as well. chris? >> now over to john for a check on the situation. >> midtown manhattan, light to moderate rain right now, and we are up to 72. fog is also an issue. parts of jersey city, and in fact the financial district here, we are seeing heavier rain, and the worst of it is in nassau county. torrential rain is brief. it's out quickly, and that line is out to dutchess county, and then we will see another round this afternoon, and it's a

flash flood watch for many in effect until 4:00 p.m., and that means conditions are favorable for rapid flooding. 79 your high later today. >> thank you so much. i'm chris wragge. we are back with another local

after this. good morning. it is tuesday, august 11th, 2015. welcome back to "cbs this morning." more real news ahead during presidential candidate dr. ben carson. his view on his campaign and donald trump and surging popularity. first, "eye opener." >> donald trump is like a blockbuster movie. >> crowds and police in ferguson, missouri. >> police say the couple planned to join isis overseas and the fbi arrested them before they got on a plane. >> people are wondering when is it safe to drink my water. >> in colorado, down pours on monday were strong enough to wash away these cars.

>> the jerusalem fire in california has grown to 6,000 acres. >> the rule is moderation. drinking sugary sodas is a recreational activity. >> she is laughing at me daze she loves the word moderation and i don't. >> big move by nick symmonds. >> if this was about a movie i would sign a contract and get paid. i'm taking a huge financial loss here. >> a new detective device hopes to avoid getting a sunburn. yeah. it's called a house! i'm charlie rose with norah o'donnell and kristine johnson of wcbs. gayle king has the day off. police made nearly two dozen new arrests in ferguson, missouri, overnight. >> officers used pepper spray against some protesters.

police lined up in riot gear and they advanced on the crowds after getting hit by rocks and frozen water bottles. this morning, donald trump and fox news are agreeing to move on after their post-debate bash. the billionaire presidential candidate says he has been assured of fair treatment in the future. last night, fox news megan kelly responded to trump's kritismcriticism from last week's debate. i thought i was attacking him but i thought he was asked a fair and tough question. we agreed to disagree. i will not apologize for doing good journalism so i'll continue doing my job without fear or favor. >> a new reuters poll this morning shows trump is still far ahead in the republican race. he leads jeb bush by 12 points. marco rubio and mike huckabee and ben carson are tied for third. carson is gaining ground after a strong performance in thursday's

debate. >> well, i haven't said anything about me being the only way to do something so let me try that. i'm the only one to separate siamese twins. the only one to operate on babies while they were still in a mother's womb. the only one to take out half of a brain, although you would think if you go to washington, someone would beat me to it. >> dr. ben carson is with us from florida. good morning. >> good morning. >> good to have you here or there. >> nice to be with you. >> how do you explain your performance, especially in social media on this debate? >> well, we have had a very active social media campaign already. which is really the only reason that we're in the campaign. there have been so many ordinary people who have gotten involved who have donated to me because i

refuse to go after billionaires and special interest groups. the only people i want to be people. and that word is getting around by word-of-mouth. people are talking to people and their influence and i think it's terrific and i think that is the way it was supposed to be. >> dr. carson, i want to give you the opportunity to respond to hillary clinton yesterday who leveled an attack against republicans in the field saying, quote, what donald trump is saying about megyn kelly is outrageous and what the rest of the republicans are also saying about women is also outrageous. she is trying to tie you to trump's comments. do you want to separate yourself? >> well, all i can say is, you know, it was a woman, my mother who is responsible for my success, and i have the most wonderful wife and my medical career, you know, i had terrific female physician assistants and administrative people who i could not have proceeded without. >> you saw what -- >> if she ties me to that, i don't know. >> you saw what hillary clinton

said yesterday, essentially trying to draw what donald trump said about megyn kelly to make it a debate about abortion in this country and she specifically attacked marco rubio. so let me ask you -- would you ban abortions in the case of rape incest and life of mother? >> well, you know, i spent my entire career as a pediatric neurosurgeon, frequently staying up all night, fighting, struggling to save the lives of little babies, even operating on babies inside the womb. so i don't think it should be hard for anybody to understand that i am totally opposed to killing babies. >> so just be clear. i looked at your website and it wasn't clear on your website. you are proofed to all abortions, even in the case of life of mother? >> i think when it comes to the case of the life of the mother, you have to -- to look at the individual situation, recognize

that that is largely a spurious argument because we have advanced so much in medicine these days that that situation rarely occurs. >> doctor, you have a celebrated medical career. presidential medal of freedom recipient but you have never held public office. do you feel as though that is your biggest hurdle? >> i don't think that is a problem. the political class has weaved an imaginary tale they are the only ones who can solve our problems. but the fact of the matter is, if you take the collective political experience of everyone in congress, it would be just under 9,000 years, you see it really has not solved our problems and what we really need are problem solvers and people with a history of solving complex problems and people who know how to utilize other individuals working with them to solve complex problems because nobody knows everything but wisdom is much more important than political experience. >> how do you define "wisdom"?

>> the ability to take the information and use it in an effective way. the book of proverbs says in a multitude of counselors is safety. >> you see how washington works. do you really think that is going to -- wisdom bringing that and thinking that everyone is going to act civil? i mean, washington has been this way for so long. what is going to make that change now? >> i think -- i think it's definitely worthy of trying, to simply throw one's hands up and say, forget about it, it's not the solution. this is america. we are americans. we have the can do attitude. >> all right. dr. ben carson, good to see you. thank you for joining us. >> my pleasure. thank you. 750 million people turned into watch lady diane become princess diana but here is a

in our morning rounds, self-it seems to me. minor ailments may signal major problems. "reader's digest" silent signs your body is in trouble. liz vaccariello is here along with our own dr. holly phillips. think this is fascinating. you go to the doctor. you get a physical but there may be silent signs your body is in big trouble. what are they? >> might not come up in a physical but if you tag them early, you know, you could take care of big problems. the first one is if your handwriting changes, it could be

a sign of parkinson's but it's not shaky handwriting. >> right. this one is, i think, incredibly interesting. parkinson's is caused by damage or loss of neurons in the brain that make dopamine and that is important in controlling movements in our body. so some of the first signs you see is typical tremor of parkinson's disease. but also the fingers and the hands become tense. so as you're writing out a sentence, your letters might start out larger and get smaller and smaller toward the end of the sentence if the finger is kind of flinching up. >> that is the link. that is the link. >> how about random burst of anger? that could be a sign of depression, right? you think lesser sadness? if you're sort of having road rage for the first time in your life and it lasts for a couple of weeks. >> i think this one is such an important point to just -- to make. depression is a complicated illness and it has a huge consolation of symptoms and much

of them actually don't have to be being sad and despondent as we think of depression usually. actually, most people, the majority of people suffer from anger, irritability and bouts of depression. if you're one of those people, it's a sign that your depression may be more severe or even last longer. >> is failure of memory a symptom of something? >> forgetting people's names could be, you think i'm getting old, i'm just tired, dementia maybe, but it could be hyperthyroidism. >> hyperthyroid is really a term for low thyroid hormones. it's usually caused by an auto immune disease in women and it results in brain clog, forgetfulness or feeling you're in a static of a tv set. it's one of the most common and commonly overlooked causes of sudden memory loss but the key with the hyperthyroidism is it can be picked up so early.

it's a really quick, treatable. >> sometimes when have you a baby, you can't remember. they always say pregnancy changes it. >> even after pregnancy, can result in hyperthyroidism so it's a good time on check it then. >> what about dental issues? >> if you drink sugary drinks you might have trouble with the tooth enamel on the front of your teeth but if you have problems in the back of your teeth it could be a sign of gastrointestinal issues. >> specifically acid reflux. many people who have acid reflux is also called heartburn. you have burning in your chest but a lot of people don't. acid reflux happens when acid from your stomach moves up into your sofgsesophagus and the back of the mouth. when you're lying down in bed it erodes the molar teeth and you see a degradation of the teeth and it's often picked up by the dentist and not your doctor

because they can actually see the destruction. >> i forget people's names sometimes sometimes. >> we are all there. >> all of it is treatable. what a great idea. another great issue of "reader's digest." thank you both. airports are departing from the ways of the past and anna werner is at newark international airport. >> airports aren't the first place you think of sitting down or ordering up a local sushi or craft beer but improvements in this gate area are taking off in airports around the country. we will show you the terminal transformation here in newark coming up on "cbs this morning." announcer: this portion of "cbs this morning" sponsored by claritin. live claritin clear! ...doctors recommend taking claritin every day of your allergy season. claritin provides powerful, non-drowsy, 24-hour relief for... ...fewer interruptions from the amazing things you do... ...every day. live claritin clear. they've always been your second pair of eyes.

seen and these offer a rare glimpse behind those closed doors of the wedding of the last century. the young bride cuddles and comforts her youngest bridesmaid with a queen by her side. the new princess, barely 20 years old, inside the palace she believed that day would one day be her home. the dozen candid photographs were shot been aassistant to the official royal photographer, the late lord lihtcfield and only camera man given exclusive access behind the scenes that day. cbs news interviewed him in 1981 ahead of the big event. >> a photographer is the one who is basically holding up the event of the day, for, at the time, a seemingly rather unimportant process, which later is a world report. >> reporter: these photos are the ones that didn't make the cut in the official wedding album presented to the royal family. shot from behind, diana with

charles by her side, the newlywed's view from the balcony of buckingham palace greeting thousands of well-wishers. here are the images everybody else got to see. and did you ever wonder whether the queen, herself, watched coverage of big events on a small tv? the private reception was thrown after the royal wedding ceremony at st. paul's cathedral watched by an estimated 150 million people at the time and more than half of the photos showed diana in her wedding gown with its 25-foot train. not only previously unseen, they show the unguarded moments rarely seen at all, as royal correspondent anika. >> i feel like you're there? >> you do. it's behind the scenes. you know, you can -- you can see how the assistant is trying to get these very kind of offer-guard moments of the queen watching the coverage on tv and

diana with her dress and became so much more salvier with the media things. very young and not quite savvy with cameras around her. >> reporter: now the whole set goes under the hammer in boston next month. bidding starts at 300s but they are hoping for something like 20 grand. >> gorgeous pictures. >> oh, boy. a beautiful woman. >> so pretty! >> the anniversary of her death is coming up. >> the end of the month. another big name in business is about to improve benefits for new parents. but will all of those extra perks cost workers on payday? that is ahead after your local news.

this is far beyond the tech is offering extra perks. lee gallagher joining us with more. what is happening here? >> reporter: it's interesting. the paid leave movement, there is extreme momentum behind it, so we awe adobe this week and last week, netflix and microsoft significantly expand their policies. businesses don't do anything for those reasons and do it for the bottom line. it is unacceptable for businesses to lose working women when they have children. we don't offer any paid leave in this country by law. and there are bills to change that. senator gillibrand has introduced one from new york. this is not great for the bottom line for businesses. and women are bread winners and more than 40% of families now. it's also about fathers too, by the way. there's more proof that that is better for long-term health and for everything to have one or more parent at home, so it's really -- there's big academic reasons behind it.

>> they can't afford not to offer it? >> they really can't. >> and be competitive in the pursuit of the best talented people? >> a lot of these perks not just paid leave but other perks we see, so many companies offer, again, it's because they are wanting to keep their employees and keep them happy when employee are happier, they work harder and they stay longer and they -- it's incredibly costly to a company when you lose someone, all of the years of investment in training and relationships that person might have if they are on the sales side, they go deep. so there is a ton of costs in it and this is a way to avoid those. >> just to be clear. what is the trend? are companies offering more perks? i imagine there are a lot of our viewers who say, it doesn't seem like there is more perks in my company. >> what is interesting, they are. what is happening is the companies in silicon valley are famous for their perks and they have the resources and have extreme talent in competition problems but it's seeping into other companies like construction companies or waste management companies and some are glamorous and fabulous but some are just, you know, free

food or more paid time off, or just creating a culture where you feel valid. it's not always about the waterslide in the lobby but about the intangible culture in the company. >> the question becomes since 2004 companies they say have 16% more on benefits but only a 2% increase in wages. so are they coming at the expense of an increase in wage? >> i think there is a couple of things going on there. number one is the stat on benefits also includes things like bonuses and health care so that is packaged in that number so not like they are taking all of the raise money and putting it in the slide in the lobby. i think wages are a problem in this country. also if you don't offer the right wages, if your goal is to keep people and you don't offer them the right wages, they are also going to leave so you're defeating the purpose if you don't do both at the same time. >> well, i guess we benefit in the end, right? free popcorn? >> i'll stay a little longer for free popcorn. >> absolutely. >> thank you, lee.

>> thank you. a revolution under way this morning at some of the nation's busiest airports to make travel more enjoyable. anna werner is at newark liberty national airport in new jersey to show us the recent inovags. good morning, anna. >> good morning. >> reporter: this is the area most travelers have gotten use to do. you have the cramped seating and poor lighting and so many have been in airports that look like this. take a look what is behind me. that is a new gate area. you can sit down at an ipad. you can order food and drink. it doesn't look like what you're used to, correct? a lot of airports around the country are making improvements like this. it's all part of an effort to make airports destinations in themselves, instead of just weigh stations. more than 35 million people pass through newark's airport each year. and many of them would probably

tell you they just want to get through and get out! but designers hope 120 million dollar upgrade will turn united airlines terminal into an attraction passengers won't want architect david rockwell. let me get this straight. comfortable and enjoy ourselves >> i think you should have that opportunity when you go through security. it's such a disoriented process and then when you come out, the architects are the basic layout doesn't acknowledge having you to breathe and see where you're going, decide what you need. do you need a drink or a bite to eat? >> reporter: now travelers can dine in style and on an ipad and order everything from sushi to lobster served with fine wine or locally brewed craft beer. >> one of the most unexpected things is the food is actually being prepared there. fresh food in an airport. >> reporter: a similar concept

unveiled last year at laguardia airport caught joanna carroll's eye. >> this is so nice. i walked all the way around and videoed all the way around in here. >> reporter: where do they find the real estate for these improvements? well, in some cases, they replace the moving walkways with something a little less functional but a little more entertaining. designers reimagined existing spaces too. those familiar usually dull gate areas. eventually, passengers waiting to board will also enjoy their own ipad with internet. and plenty of power outlets. 10,000 in all. so how many whiskeys do you have? >> 39 whiskeys here. >> reporter: rick blatstein heads the otg, the company making the changes. >> if you think about it a single largest piece of real estate in airports around the world in the most desirable location for a customer to be in. instead of dragging them out and go to our restaurants and operations and other parts, why not go to them and why not

create that great lounge environment? >> reporter: at newark, passengers spend about 20 to 25 minutes in the airport after going through security and before they board. the goal here is to get them to arrive a little earlier and spend more money. and it's a nationwide trend. charisse jones covers travel for "usa today." >> airports designers are spending billions of dollars to upgrade their terminal because it's a way to make passengers more comfortable and bring in a lot of revenue. >> reporter: along with changing the amenities, she says, airports also have to change perceptions. >> it's going to take a little time to get there, because, right now, it seems very stressful. you don't look forward to it and you don't look forward to the flight either. >> reporter: if joanna carroll's experience is any indication, it just might work. >> i feel like i got, you know, extra fun thing in my trip, not like the end of your trip. not like the drudgery of travel. it's like another fun thing. >> reporter: so, guys, we ordered up some food just so you

can get a sense of what you could now eat at a gate area once these renovations are finished about five months from now. you can do it actually right here right now in this particular gate area. how about a fresh fruit salad? cruise croissants or muffins? united airline is doing another renovation. you can shop from airport stores on the ipad here and deliver your purchases to the gate while you wait to board. norah? >> anna, that is awesome! >> good stuff here! anything that makes the airline experience more enjoyable. >> yeah. usually, you're captive with wait time there and especially if your flight is cancelled, prime opportunity to do some shopping. >> whatever you haven't packed you can have it delivered to the gate. best selling author jennifer
