Yesterday charlie rose gave of the world of apple. This morning hes sits down with apples ceo, tim cook to discuss one of the companys most confidential trade secrets, encryption. Some say it lets terrorists communicate without fear of getting caught. Here is charlie with tim cook for 60 minutes. In the government they say its like you have a search rrant but you cant unlock the unk. Here is the situation, on your iphone, theres likely health information, theres financial information, there are intimate conversations with your family or your coworkers. Theres probably business secrets and you should have the ability to protect it. And the only way we know how to do that is to encrypt it. Why is that . Its because if theres a way to get in, then somebody will find a way in. There have been people that suggest that we should have a back door, but the reality is if you put a back door in, that guys and bad guys. Does the government have a point in which they say, if we have good reason to believe in that information is evidence of criminal conduct or National Security behavior . Well, if the government lays a proper warrant on us today, then we will give the specific information that is requested, because we have to by law. In the case of encrypted communication, we dont have it to give. And so if your imessages are encrypted we dont have access to those. Help me understand how you get to the governments delima. I dont believe that the trade off is privacy versus National Security, i think thats an overly simplistic view. Were america, we should have both. Please stand and raise your right hand. National security isnt the only battle tim cook has been apple earns twothirds of the revenue overseas. Rather than bring it balk back, apple like many, parks billions of dollars in overseas income in sub sid dares and countries like ireland. The practice is not illegal, but its at the heart of a battle that has been unfolding in washington to reform the Corporate Tax code and bring that money home. How do you feel when you go before congress and they say, youre a tax avoider . What i told them and what ill tell you and the folks watching tonight is, we pay more taxes in this country than anyone. They know that and you should because of how much money you make. Well, i dont deny that. We happily pay it. You probably also have more money overseas. We do. I said before, twothirds of our business is over there. Home, is the question . I would love to bring it home. Why dont you bring it home . It would cost me 40 to bring it home and i dont think its a reasonable thing to do. This is a tax code, charlie, that was made for the industrial age, not the digital age. Its backward. Its awful for america. It should have been fixed many years ago. Its past time to get it done. But here is what they concluded, apple is engaged in a sophisticated scheme to pay little or no Corporate Taxes on 74 billion in revenues held overseas. That is total political crap. Theres no truth behind it. Apple pays every tax dollar we owe. Reporter tim cook has spent much of the last decade expanding apples reach around the world nowhere more than in china. Thank you. In october, cook made his ninth trip there since becoming ceo in the last year apple sales in china have doubled. Will there be at some point in the near future a bigger market than the United States . Yes. I am as certain as i can be of that. The numbers simply tell you that. The numbers tell us that, and not just the number of people, but the numbers of people moving into the middle class, that for a Consumer Company is the thing that really begins to grow the market in a big way. And most americans would be surprised to know that nearly all apple products are manufactured by one million Chinese Workers in the factories of apple factories including fox con. Yet tim cook insist that chinas vast and labor force is not the primary reason for manufacturing there. If its not wages, what is it . Its skill. Reporter skill . They have more skills than american works . Let me be clear is, china put an enormous focus on manufacturing in what we would call, you and i would call vocational kind of skills. The u. S. , over time, began to stop having as many vocational kind of skills. You can take every tool maker in the United States and put them in every room were sitting in room. In china youll have multiple football fields because its a focus of their educational system. So that is the reality. Reporter manufacturing in china has brought serious labor concerns to apple about low wages, long hours, and unsafe conditions. After series of suicides at fox con in 2010, a Company Installed safety nets outside its employees dormitories. Reporter do you have a responsibility to look at the Labor Conditions and make sure commit suicide is eradicated . The answer to your question is, yes. We have a responsibility and we do it. We are constantly auditing our supply chain, making sure that Safety Standards are, you know, the highest, working conditions are the highest. All of the things that you would expect us to look for and more, were doing it. Reporter according to its most recent internal review apple has limited the work week to 60 hours, raised pay and cracked down on child labor. But 30 of the facilities that make its products around the world still do not meet apples own Safety Standards. We believe that a company that has values and acts on them, can really change the world. Reporter since taking over apple, tim cook has broadened his companys mission beyond apple has invested billions in Renewable Energy to Power Data Centers an operations. Cook has become a strong advocate for human rights. His motives are personal. He grew up in segregation and last year he made a bold public announcement that he is gay. No other ceo of fortune 500 company that might be gay has come out. Reporter you said it was gods greatest gift to you. When youre in a minority group, it gives you a sense of empathy of what its like to be in the minority and you begin to look at things from different point of views and i think it was a gift for me. Reporter why didnt you come out earlier . Honestly, i value my privacy. Im a very private person. But it became increasingly clear to me that if i said something, and im glad because i think that some kid somewhere, some kid in alabama, i think if they, just for a moment, stop and say, if it didnt limit him, it may not limit me, or this kid thats getting bullied or this kid worse, ive gotten notes from people contemplating suicide. So if i could touch just one of those, its worth it. And i couldnt look myself in the mirror without doing it. Reporter before we finished reporting our story, cook wanted to show us one more thing, as steve jobs use to say, a glimpse of apples future, so we packed into four by fours and with cameras, drones and technicians this giant mound of dirt. It is the companys biggest project ever. This is like a small city. It is. Its about 3,500 people working here right now and this is what people are commonly calling the spaceship. Reporter yes. Were going to have about 13,000 people that are working in this circle and its going to be a center for innovation for generations to come. Reporter some have said its a 5 billion project. Its a lot. Its a lot. Its somewhere near there. Reporter i knew 5 billion is a lot. We think its important to have a place that inspires you. To see charlies full report on apple, just click on our web lets get these dayquil liquid gels and go. But these liquid gels are new. Mucinex fast max. Its the same difference.

Woo nasa says it is scrubbing the plan to launch next march of the inside spacecraft that was supposed to be bound for mars. They discovered a leak in a key research instrument. The earth and mars wont be lined up for another launch for two years. They werent drinking champagne at space x, they managed to launch a rocket into orbit and bring it back to earth. You might call it a high flying hightech cost saving move. Means that space x can use it again saving the Company Millions of dollars. The successful launch of the new falcon 9 rocket was just the first obstacle for space x to over come after lifting off to put 11 satellites into space the big challenge was getting the rockets first stage booster back on earth in one piece. Space x is now clear to resume deliverly flights which have been on hold such a spectacular failure last june. That ill fated mission wasnt the companys only failure, two previous landing attempts ended in disaster including this one back in april. That deter the founder of space x tesler ceo who tweeted this photo of launch and reentry, there and back again. Responded with this tweet congratulating space x adding, welcome to the club. Amazon founder recovered the rocket use to launch one of his spacecraft earlier this fall, that rocket was only going to sub orbital altitude, in other words, much less extreme than the falcon 9 experience going to orbit. But to be successful, space x needs to be profitable, which includes being able to reuse those 60 million rockets. Pulling off this landing was a major achievement, perhaps historic it could be the first dip for dramatically lowering launch cost. This rocket is the tester. It will be studied and expected to see how it weathered the space x hopes to start re if you are the type who waits till the last minute to do your holiday shopping, amazon.

That are the most dangerous because folks are asleep, and sometimes you dont see it coming. A couple of rounds of storms. Theyll all be racing off to the eastnortheast. A lot of heavy rain goes along with all of this. So certainly we want people to stay weather aware here as we head through wednesday and into Christmas Eve.

Odonnell all right, major the cbs president obama took a rare swipe at donald trump in an interview with National Public radio. The president said trump is capitalizing on the resentment of working class men who have seen their bills go up while their wages stay flat. You combine those things and it means that theres going to be potential anger, frustration, fear. Some of it justified but just misdirected. And, you know, i think somebody like mr. Trumps taken advantage of that. I mean, thats what hes exploiting during the course of his campaign. Odonnell mr. Obama also claimed some of the republican resentment toward him can be chalked up to his status as the first black president.
