toyota. let's go places. welcome to "cbs this morning." charlie rose is off, so jeff glor is with us. always good to have you here. let's start with this. the trump administration needs to explain how four u.s. army sergeants were killed in niger. black, jeremiah johnson, dustin write and la david johnson were told not to expect anything when they were meeting with leaders. >> they were stationed with other u.s. troops working to fight terrorism. president trump did not mention the lost soldiers until monday. then he was criticized for how he spoke to the widow of one of the men who was killed. >> the president insists he said nothing inappropriate. margaret brennan is at the white house. mar margaret, good morning.

warning signs were missed. senate arms services chair committee chairman john mccain says they're not being upfront and he's asked for more on this attack. sergeant la david johnson was one of four killed more than two weeks ago. they were told not to expect any attack. now pentagon believes they were attacked by an offshoot of isis. >> no indication that this was going to occur. >> the attackers were described as well trained, well equipped, and well organized, and with no one overhead to help them, the green berets were trapped. the first to arrive were french mirage jets. >> they were able to fly overhead about 30 minutes after first nt

for the three who were mortally wounded. sergeant la david johnson was always wounded, his body not recovered until two days later. his wife is pregnant with their third child. congresswoman fredericka wilson was with myesha johnson. >> i heard the president say, he knew what he was signing up for. >> his mother said the president disrespected her son but the president says it was fabricated. >> i did not say that. i had a very nice conversation with the woman, the wife, who sounded like a lovely woman. did not say what the congresswoman said. >> now, the issue of how these gold star families are treated has now become a political foochblt yesterday the white house said president trump wrote a personal $25,000 check to the family of an army corpora

his family says they haven't received it. a similar controversy happened after obama was to have written a check. the compromise two senators have reached this week have hit some major obstacles. republican lamar alexander and democrat patty murray. several republicans say they will not support it. president trump called it a very good solution for the short term but the next day he tweeted he could never support bailing out insurance companies. nancy cordes is on capitol hill with the latest on this story. nancy, good morning. >> good morning. senators alexander and murray are going to formally unveil their bill on the senate floor today even though the white house now says that the president doesn't support the deal in its current form. this is a deal that aims to

insurance market by reinstating subsidies for insurance companies to bring down the cost of coverage for two more years. this is after the president said he'd halt those payments last week. a number of top republicans cast doubt against the plan yesterday. speaker paul ryan said the senate should keep its focus on repeal and replace of obamacare and utah senator orrin hatch called for a long-term solution, not a short-term fix. now, that might make it seem that this deal is already dead, but keep your eye on december 8th on the calendar. that's when congress needs to pass the next government funding bill or risk a government shutdown. the republicans are going to likely need democratic votes in order to get that bill passed, and so folding this health care deal into that spending bill might be the best way, norah, to get democratic support. it might also make the health care deal a little less

>> all right. we'll be watching, nancy. thank you so much. attorney general jeff sessions says robert mueller has not contacted him regarding the 2016 election. he spent five hours in front of the senate judiciary committee. he defended the firing of the firing of james comey. at one point it was claimed he changed his story about meeting with former russian ambassador. >> that's been the suggestion that you've raised and others that somehow we had conversations that were improper. >> may i suggest that -- >> no, no, no. you had a long time, senator sfrar franken. i'd like to respond. >> i want to ask you some questions. >> no, mr. chairman. i don't have to sit in here and listen -- >> you're the one who testified -- >> -- without having a chance to respond. give me a break. >> sessions withdrew from the russian

a new report just issued by noaa says september's arctic sea ice coverage was about 25% less than it was between 1981 and 2010. as america's only arctic state, alaska today faces unique challenges. one of those is the loss of permafrost, frozen earth that serves as a foundation for huge portions of the state. as we discovered on a recent trip to alaska, the permafrost is thawing, presenting multiple threats. >> we're flying over the tundra. this is an area of sub arctic tundra where permafrost degradation is under way. >> for the past decade, they've been taking trips like this, deep into the remote corners of alaska's wilderness. >> this are

by 2040. she uses this drill to extract permafrost which starts a few feet under the surface and can expend a few feet down. it contains partially decays matter from plants and animals. >> this is the core. >> yeah. this is how we test permafrost. >> some has been frozen for years but as it thaws it releases gases. the so-called greenhouse gases that warm the atmosphere. >> the projection says for the larger perm a frost region, we can expect 150 billion tons of carbon to be released by 2100. >> it can do that by burning fossil fuels, this thawing perm ma frost could double that figure. >> we're walking inside of permafrost. >> the best view of permafrost does come from de

in this 50-year-old tunnel built and maintained by the u.s. army corps of engineers outside fairbanks. >> you can see the massive frozen structures that have formed over tens of thousands of years. >> reporter: down here it's easy to visual yiez another danger. >> you can imagine when the permafrost thaws that you're going to have some pretty substantial ground collapse. >> it's already has happened in alaska. forests of trees bent or toppled of, roads and railroad tracks and homes buckling. they study perm a frost loss. he says it points to the same trend. >> it isn't really warm, so it's really close to the freezing point, so it's actually very vulnerable now. >> you're right on the line now. >> we're right oe

>> that's correct. >> how was it? >> it's always a bizarre place and a certain over-the-top rhetoric. but this time the country is really galvanized for war. there's con stability talk about missile attacks on the u.s., billboards around the country, missile showing missiles destroying the u.s. and most strike i about how north korea will defeat the u.s. in this nuclear war, that it's not only survivable but actually win snoobl they're convinced they would win if a war took place. >> astonishingly they're convince they'd would win and the u.s. would retreat from peninsula, japan, and asia. >> why are they so confident, nick. >> well, of course, it's always testify to distinguish what they say versus what they think

they have underground tunnels. their native is they've always defeated the ugs across the dmz and so -- and there's always a danger, of course, deck taters tend to bleen their own propaganda. i'm nervous that that is what is happening right now. >> were you nervous and afraid while you were there yourself. you had handlers the whole time. >> being in north you were always constrained. this time the north korean foreign ministry had handlers that clung to me like a limpid. i thought, oh, this is to protect the north koreans from vigorous questioning. but, no, it turnses out that they were there to protect me from the security services who might not be on board with having an american journalist in town

tal talks. >> so that's interesting. popp's policy was one of strategic patience. some criticized it as letting it build up its weaponry. but now you have the tough talk from the president's montgomery county and talk on twitter. how are the north korea koreans using that? >> i think president trump's talk has been counterproductive. it was striking that they were lever ranging it. your average north korean knows nothing about otto warmbier. >> that's so surprising. >> that doesn't penetrate. they knee all about president trump's threat to totally destroy north korea because it fits into their nair active. >> we did a survey with a man in north korea. he said all of north korea is not kim jong-un. we're talking about million os people there who don't negsly know about all this and wouldn't necessarily agree with what their leader is doing. >> you know, it's very hard to

know what ordinary north koreans think, and in north korea you don't get a very good sense of that, but i must say in talking the defectors, you get the sense that the mind control, controlling every bit of informationing having a speaker in people's homes to bring in propaganda, not having radio dials that that works pretty well to get people to essentially believe in the regime, except closer to the chinese border. they do hear all teshive truths and they begin questioning things. >> as they try to conduct their life while listening about nuclear war. >> glad you're back. >>my too. so is my wife. our dr. david agus is on the move outside studio 57. >> we were designed to move. in a few moments e i'm going to show you some amazing new data about how a little bit of walking actually makes you live longer. >> that's coming

fostering growing epidemics a strategic plan on the tachblt he's at the table. you say you were a shy lonely kid, that people didn't even know that about you. >> it's true. it's something i never talked to my family about. we us shy, it was hard to make friends but i felt ashamed to tell people. >> why the shame? >> for many people including myself as a child, admitting you're lonely is the equivalent of not being worthy of love. >> why is loneliness an epidemic? >> we're lek nicing loneliness is a lot more prevalent but there will more adults who admit to being lonely now than just two decades ago and there are several possible reasons for this. one, people are more mobile now. people move away from their communities and home. there are record numbers

but we know technology has had a role here. for too many people, technology has led to substituting onlineks for offline inperson connections. >> looking at your phone instead of talking to someone. >> exactly. or spending time on facebook or on other social media thinking that is equivalent to sitting down and seeing a friend and talking to them face-to-face. >> is it more common in men than women? >> we have reason to believe men may be more at risk in some ways. some of this has to do with our culture around masculinity. we think masculinity is tied to being self-suv end and not expressing your emotions and not admitting to feelings of loneliness. many men feel lonely e7 after they get married or have children and their social circles are smaller.

>> you say there's a connection between loneliness and our health and real issues that occur as a health of it. >> this is the reason loneliness getting more attention 678 we're learning more and more about it. it turns out loneliness is a reduction in your lifespan. that is as severe as the lifespan you see with smoking. it's greater than the impact on mortality than obesity and part of it is because loneliness places us in a stress state. thousands of years ago if you wore connected to other people, you were more likely to be connected to a food supply. when you're disconnected. you're in a stress state. >> do companies and business -- is it worth building in more time for folks to get better? cbs news has a walking club. it's like coffee breaks or happy hours where everyone needs to get together. do you think moreim

get built in? >> the quality of time is what matters. giving people time to get together during happy hour, that can help to some extent but some feel they're taking time away from the family and work, what do they end up doing? talking about work because that's what they end of having in kmob. instead get to know people, what are their values, what drives people, what are spare experiences and inspirations and outside of work. people hunger to be known authentically and far too many people feel invisible right now. >> i think it would be hard for anybody, an adult male or female to admit i'm lonely. what do you do if you feel that way? >> that's a great question. if you're feeling lonely, you're not the only one. number twoing if you're feeling lonely, it does not mean there's something fundamentally wrong

feeling lonely, it's important to recognize there are people around you who are and that's why it's so important for us to reach out to them. we for years have thought about ourselves ads an individual society. but what the data around loneliness tells us more and more is we're truly inper dependent creatures and ultimately we need each other. >> i love this message. i think it's great. >> i do too. >> it's really good. >> dr. murthy, thank you so much. >> thank you. bruno mars performs for millions but one person who makes him so nervous. why he's uncomfortable performing -- do we say it? >> no, no. >> we're going to keep the tease going. >> how he gets
