Welcome to cbs this morning. Good morning, norah. Good morning to you, charlie. We have interesting news this morning from washington. The argument over National Security moves to the white house. President obama meets this morning with executives from more than a dozen tech firms including apple, twitter, google, and facebook. The meeting is supposed to focus on haifshg,ealthcare. Gov, but the group is going to talk about the nsa program revealed by Edward Snowden. Jan crawford is in washington. Good morning. Reporter good morning, norah and charlie. That meeting with those tech executives is going to take place less than an hour from now. It comes on the heels of the ruling yesterday where for the first time a judge said this Surveillance Program, which collects telephone data from hundreds of millions of people is probably unconstitutional. In a 68page ruling federal judge richard leon described the Government Surveillance Program has almost orwellian, a dragnet, and what once would have been considered the stuff of science fiction. He even invoked the Founding Fathers. I have little doubt the author of our constitution, james madison, would be aghast. Under the nsa program, the government collects and stores data on hundreds of millions of telephone calls, not who made the calls or their content, but information like when a call took place and how long it lasted. The Administration Says it can use that data to analyze connections to potential terrorists. By sifting through this socalled meta data they may identify potential leads with respect to folks who might engage in terrorism. Reporter but in his decision, judge leon questioned whether the program even works, saying the government does not cite a single instance where the Program Actually stopped an imminent attack. The case is one of several filed after former National Security contractor Edward Snowden leaked details of the programs existence. And the legal battles come as the administration now is reviewing whether all of its Surveillance Programs should continue. Mondays ruling by judge leon who was appointed by george w. Bush, is the first to call the Telephone Program unconstitutional. 15 other judges on a special court to review classified programs have upheld it on 35 different occasions. This is the beginning of a conversation but its not the end of the conversation. Reporter orrin cur is a law professor at George Washington university. He says the decision will likely be reversed on appeal. Its more likely than not it will be joef turned. Its an outlier relative to other decisions on this issue. This program will continue while this is appealed. Remember, in the meantime this program is also being reviewed by the Obama Administration and it is expected to decide in the next month or so whether to continue it in its current form regardless of what the courts rule or whether it needs some limits. Jan thank you. John miller is former Deputy Director of national intelligence. Good morning. Good morning. You know the nsa and did a 60 minutes piece about them. How will they react to this decision . Well, the first thing theyre going to do is look at appealing it. But as jan pointed out, this could be a moot point. If the president ial panel that was appointed to look at this recommends a policy change the tracks with what the judge is recommending, and what theyre talking about is can the nsa maintain this big databank with all of the phone records of americans called and search that when they find a terrorist number overseas, or do they have to go its under a blanket court order that said they can keep it or do they have to go to the court each time they get it. The nsas concern is to do that order by order could take seven to nine days and sometimes if a terrorist plot is unfolded quickly thats too long. I think theyre going to look at this system and whether that data can still live there, the president ial panel is going to recommend, were told by sources, that it lives somewhere else, that the data is maintained but the phone Companies Keep it and they have to get those orders. I want your take on other Important News this morning concerning Robert Levenson the american who disappeared in iran when he was living there in 2007. We know the Associated Press has reported he was on a cia mission at the time. I understand now cbs news spoke with this shadowy figure that met with levenson. Who is this guy . What have we learned . Hes an individual wanted for murder in the United States. Its a murder that courted in 1980. It was an assassination in maryland of a former iranian official. He fled to iran and has been living there out of reach of the United States for years. That was the person that levenson was going to meet. And when we spoke to sal again yesterday, and hes somebody weve been in contact with over the last couple years, our Investigative Unit said what happened that day . And he described meeting levenson, having dinner, walking on the beach, sitting on a rock talking together. And at some point he said Iranian Security officials, he says he believes they were Iranian Security officials came, separated them, took him for identification, took levenson away and they neve saw him again. Why is that significant . Because yesterday we had the foreign minister on saying the government has no idea where he was and we didnt take him. You have the former president of iran acknowledging that there have been some negotiations about this. He told you in an interview that you both did together last year that he e thought that this deal had all been worked out between your intelligence agencies so thats an indicator. Ive been told by people both iranian sources and u. S. Sources, that at different times there have been negotiations behind the scenes to arrange a trade for levenson and for Different Reasons they fell through. They do know where he is. It seems we have two story lines here norah. One is the public story line we dont know where he is. After which the Iranian Foreign minister smiled knowingly, and the sub rosa one, which is theres a lot going on in terms of discussions about getting him back. Does the u. S. Government believe hes alive . They have no proof of life that shows them that. John thanks. In southern afghanistan this morning six american troops died in a Helicopter Crash. It is the largest death toll there in a single incident for months. Cbs news has learned the black hawk made a hard landing in zabul province. American forces then came under attack. The taliban is claiming responsibility. Nato says initial reports suggest there was no other fighting or insurgent activity in the area this morning.

Snow the piling up around new york city. New jersey is dealing with its fourth snowstorm in ten days. Some schools are planning delays or closures. In the philadelphia area Winter Weather advisory is posted. Commuters there face a sliply ride. Wbbm is tracking the storm. Thanks charlie and norah. Another day, another snowstorm. Impacting chicago for the morning commute with what we would call nuisance snow but for the northeast it will be much more than that especially for folks in new england as the system continues to deepen as it exits the coastline. Snowfall estimates from this are a little lower around pittsburgh and philadelphia. Could be as high as 2 to 4 inches just outside of new york city and as high as 6 to 8 potentially from boston up through portland. Minor snow from the midwest into much of the midatlantic and into new york city. But if you get a little closer to the boston area, there we see the potential for some higher snows. In fact, that low pressure deepening there is going to mean providence boston around portland could see 3 to 6 plus inches of snowfall. White christmas probabilities pretty high for the blue shaded area meaning anywhere north of chicago and back across the mountainous areas in the west. Pretty low chance from texas to florida. Charlie, norah . Megan, thank you. Snow may have caused this delta flight to slide off the runway in wisconsin. The jet coming in from minneapolis had just landed at Dane County Regional Airport in madison yesterday. About 60 passengers were on board. Now, as the plane taxied it suddenly veered off course.

Reporter the flames were too much for 16yearold fabian perez and his family, who also lost their home. Me and my dad right now, we got fire hoses, started fighting the blaze, but it was too late basically. I lived there my whole life and its gone in the blink of an eye.

For cbs this morning, ben tracy, los angeles. A big surprise this morning for Health Conscious americans. More than half of us take vitamin and mineral supplements but some of the nations top doctors say billions of dollars are being spent for nothing. The doctors reviewed three large studies on the supposed health benefits. They believe the case is closed. And that most supplements have quote, no clear benefit and might even be harmful. Cbs news contributor david akers is in los angeles. Good morning. Good morning. What evidence made it so persuasive to them . At some point, Scientific Data hit a Critical Mass where its no longer a question. We have actually have a conclusion. Three large studies published this week, the first involved there were 400,000 people with multivitamins and not and multiple studies that showed no effect on heart disease, cancer or preventing chronic disease. The second study was a random study looking at heart attack which showed no benefit. And the third was an elderly show nothing effect on cognitive decline. This is on top of a large study last week looking at over 400 Clinical Trials with vitamin d show nothing benefit at all. The conclusion is vitamins have no benefit to the average american. So no benefits. But is there a harm . Well there are several studies that were done at costs of hundreds of millions of dollars showing, for example that vitamin e in large doses increases Prostate Cancer in men by 17 . Beta carotene and vitamin a dramatically increases lung cancer and death in smokers and former smokers. Vitamin d can induce bone fractures in women. No exceptions to this in terms of case closed no harm but no benefits . Are there exceptions in which people should use vitamins and in what way . Very good point, charlie. There are exceptions. Clearly women clearly should take prenatal vitamins. Theres good data there. People with certain eye conditions theres data vitamins can can benefit them. People on bone strengthening drugs. There are some small exceptions. Doctor thank you so much. Thank you. New concerns about the growing use of antibacterial soaps and body washes.

I always get four they say you only need a dollar to wip with four people on it. Unfortunately, changes in recent months mean dwindled chances for winning Mega Millions.

Since Mega Millions changed the rules, there has not been a winner and that drives up the jackpot. Todays prize is the fourth largest in u. S. History.

Welcome back to cbs this morning. Coming up in this half hour the 80 machine known as big bertha is designed to drill a giant hole through the heart of seattle. But now it is running in to a mysterious, huge roadblock. And listen you want to know a secret . Dozens of unheard beatles recordings will be released today. Thats right. The legal loophole that could give fans a christmas gift. Thats ahead. 1 million to build a bus stop in virginia 5 million for customized crystal stemware just some of the items paid for by the federal government last year. And a new report out today details 30 billion in questionable spending. Nancy cordes is on capitol hill with the first look. Nancy, good morning. Good morning. Heres another one for you norah and charlie, 1. 5 billion to keep the lights on in unused or underutilized federal buildings. Another one of the 100 examples laid out in this huge report that was just released a half hour ago. Some of the numbers are staggering. Like the 7 billion worth of u. S. Military equipment being destroyed as u. S. Troops pull out of afghanistan. Then theres spending that just seems silly like a nearly 1 million grant for something called the popular romance project. A website and documentary that celebrates romantic movies, books, and pop songs. 2 million to renovate a rarely visited civil war gristmill in virginia, and 3 million for nasa employees to attend seminars on how congress works. Where was the adult in the room when these things were going on . Reporter the waste book is the work of republican senator tom coburn of oklahoma. A longtime deficit hawk. Its a compilation of about 30 billion. Of stupidity. Incompetence. And waste. Reporter by comparison, the compromise Budget Congress struck last week cuts the deficit by just 23 billion over ten years. Congress has banned earmarks those pork barrel special interest projects that were used to grease palms in washington. But other types of waste have proved tougher to tackle. Like the 3. 6 billion in unpaid income taxes from federal employees and retirees. Or the 400 million paid to government workers to do nothing during the government shutdown. How many years have you been putting this book out . I think this is the fifth or sixth year. Reporter and have you ever gotten any traction in congress where members actually say, you know what were going to get rid of this . No. They dont Pay Attention to it. Because its hard work to get rid of junk. Its hard work to do oversight. Its hard work to hold the agencies accountable. And so what theyd rather do is look good at home get reelected, and continue to spend money. And thats republican and democrat alike. Reporter coburn argues it doesnt really matter whether the priorities laid out here are democrat or republican he says the question is can we afford to do things like pay people to like the state department on facebook when were borrowing hundreds of billions of dollars a year. Norah and charlie . Nancy, thank you. And a mystery lies underneath seattle this morning. Something is blocking this massive piece of equipment from carving out a new feature for commuters. As John Blackstone reports, that means slamming the brakes on the emerald citys version of the big dig. Reporter deep beneath seattle, something has brought the worlds biggest power Boring Machine to an abrupt halt. Its just 1,000 feet into a tunnel thats planned to be almost 10,000 feet long. Were being really cautious. Want to make sure that we dont damage this 80 million machine. Reporter the 80 million machine nicknamed big bertha stands five stories tall. It arrived in seattle earlier this year with much fanfare and high hopes. Absolutely its the way to go. Every city should have a big tunnel underneath it. Reporter Gregory Howser is deputy project manager for the tunnel which is planned to stretch 1. 7 miles under downtown seattle carrying a doubledeck highway. It will replace the alaskan way viaduct, a raised concrete freeway built across seattles waterfront in the 1950s. The viaduct is old and ugly and dirty, and its going to pfall down if the earth moves, and it shakes any more, its going to fall. Reporter big bertha doesnt just drill, it installs concrete wall panels as it goes leaving a finished tunnel behind. This is a work of art. This is absolutely a work of all. And its going to be beautiful when its finished. Reporter the 3 billion tunnel is scheduled to carry traffic by the end of 2015. But engineers always knew they could run into obstacles. Weve got a general idea of how many boulders there might be and what size they might be. But theres no guarantee that there couldnt be a 20 footer sitting in the way. Reporter the project director says it could take two weeks to figure out what is in the way, and how to remove it. Wells are being drilled to lower the pressure of groundwater in front of the machine, and divers may be sent in to have a look. Big bertha is named after Bertha Knight landis elected as seattles first female mayor in the 1920s. She broke through a major barrier. Now, its up to big bertha the drill, to do the same. For cbs this morning, John Blackstone, San Francisco. Thats awesome. One i like its named after a woman. Big bertha. Number two, what an engineering marvel. Absolutely incredible. Things like that, a whole range of things that require great engineering, Great Innovation and great foresight. Washington, d. C. Is known for its monuments, landmarks and vast views but that last part could change. A sharp jump in growth means the Nations Capital is running out of room to build. The only place to look may be up. Chip reid is at the museum in washington. Chip, good morning. Good morning, charlie and nora. Take a look at this view. Youve got the Washington Monument, youve got the smithsonian castle, the mall all the museums that line the mall, and over here of course youve got a gorgeous view of the u. S. Capitol. And all these views are made possible by a centuryold law that limits the height of buildings in washington, d. C. Well, now theres a movement afoot to change that law, but people who cherish these views are fighting back. In the early 1900s, congress was worried that the hotels and Office Buildings in the Nations Capital were becoming too tall and could one day threaten the beautiful views of landmarks like the u. S. Capitol and the Washington Monument. So in 1910 Congress Passed the height act. A law that is still in effect today. It restricts building heights to about 160 feet which is why washingtons buildings top out at about 13 or 14 stories. Washington, d. C. Is unique for what we call the horizontality of our skyline. Reporter phil mendelssohn is chairman of the d. C. City council. We are of all the major American Cities the only one that does not have a downtown marked by skyscrapers. It preserves the city feel to the city and also enforces the landmarks. Its a unique feature about the city that we like and we dont want to see it change. Reporter but while he and his colleagues on the City Council Want to keep the height limit in place, mayor vincent gray wants congress to change it. Were growing very rapidly for the first time in a long time. Reporter Harriett Tregoning says eventually there will be nowhere to build but up. Shes imposing a height increase of 40 or 50 feet by now. Well soon run out of developable land as least as its currently zoned. Reporter but mendelssohn says hit constituents are passionate about keeping the height limit in place. After all they only have to look across the Potomac River at the gleaming towers of virginia to see what washington could some day become. What do you think the chances are that 10 20 50 years from now there are going to be skyscrapers in washington, d. C. . I think as long as we use the urban design that has been the unique feature of washington, d. C. Our Nations Capital, the chances are slim that there will be skyscrapers. Reporter so how does all this get resolved . Well, first, congress would have to act, and we know how long that takes, because they would have to eliminate the federal law limiting the heights of buildings. Then the d. C. Government would have to decide how tall they want buildings to be and norah and charlie, you know as well as i do that all of that could take years. No doubt. Chip, thank you. One of the highest points in washington is the statue of freedom. The woman statue right on the top of the u. S. Capitol. And how high is the Washington Monument . Oh, my gosh off the top of my head its 500 and something. I cant remember, yeah. I dont know either. I do like the idea of small cities. European cities like rome you know, and here you see this in washington, d. C. On the other hand, you think about new york and sky scrapers its a great thing to come over the bridge and there are all those glistening sky scrapers. One of the great things about television is i have this little thing in my ear that give you numbers. They just told me its 565 feet. Not bad off the top of my head. Thanks. Well show you why dozens of unheard beatles tracks are being released today. Its been a long and winding road, well 50 years since the beatles released their first album here in britain called please please me. It included cuts like, i saw her standing there, love me do twist and shout, songs youd want to keep a hold off if you were the beatles. Find out how theyre doing that ahead on cbs this morning. Find out how theyre doing that ahead, on cbs this morning. Shell never dance with another whoo i saw her standing there [ male announcer ] this is jim, a man who doesnt stand still. But jim has afib Atrial Fibrillation an irregular heartbeat not caused by a heart valve problem. That puts jim at a greater risk of stroke. For years jims medicine tied him to a monthly trip to the clinic to get his blood tested. But now, with onceaday xarelto®, jims on the move. Jims doctor recommended xarelto®. Like warfarin xarelto® is proven effective to reduce afibrelated stroke risk. But xarelto® is the first and only onceaday prescription blood thinner for patients with afib not caused by a heart valve problem. That doesnt require routine blood monitoring. So jims not tied to that monitoring routine. [ gps ] proceed to the designated route. Not today. [ male announcer ] for patients currently well managed on warfarin there is limited information on how xarelto® and warfarin compare in reducing the risk of stroke. Xarelto® is just one pill a day taken with the evening meal. Plus, with no known dietary restrictions jim can eat the Healthy Foods he likes. Do not stop taking xarelto® rivaroxaban, without talking to the doctor who prescribes it as this may increase the risk of having a stroke. Get help right away if you develop any symptoms like bleeding unusual bruising or tingling. You may have a higher risk of bleeding if you take xarelto® with aspirin products, nsaids or blood thinners. Talk to your doctor before taking xarelto® if you have abnormal bleeding. Xarelto® can cause bleeding, which can be serious and rarely may lead to death. You are likely to bruise more easily on xarelto® and it may take longer for bleeding to stop. Tell your doctors you are taking xarelto® before any planned medical or dental procedures. Before starting xarelto® tell your doctor about any conditions such as kidney, liver or bleeding problems. Xarelto® is not for patients with artificial heart valves. Jim changed his routine. Ask your doctor about xarelto®.

Good morning charlie. Good morning everybody. It is 8 00 a. M. In the west. Welcome back to cbs this morning. A judge says its likely unconstitutional for the government to collect your cell phone data. Today president obama meets with tech companies. They want him to rein in the nsa. Theres no stopping beyonces new album. It came out of nowhere, but now its climbing the charts. How her strategy could change the music business. Inside targets design center, the products that will be under millions of christmas trees. First here is a look at todays eye opener at 8. For the first time a judge said the Surveillance Program which collects telephone data from hundreds of millions of people is probably unconstitutional. The president ial panel appointed to look into this will recommend a policy change that tracks what the judge is recommending, it could be a moot point. Six americans died in a Helicopter Crash in afghanistan. I lived there my whole life. Its gone in the blink of an eye. Jackpot now stands at 500 million. Officials have already sold 75 million of these. A mystery lies underneath seattle. Something is blocking this massive piece of equipment from carving out a new future for commuters. The conclusion is vitamins have no advantage for americans. All these views are made possible by the centuryold law that limits the height of buildings in washington, d. C. The point of releasing the previously unreleased beatles records is not to sell more beatles music, its to keep other people from selling the music. Are you a beatles person or a Rolling Stones person . Even though they havent had the drawing yet. I want to say congratulations to the eight people who work in a staple manufacturing plant. Im charlie rose with norah odonnell. Gayle king will join us shortly back from south africa. High ranking silicone executives are meeting with president obama at the white house. Last week some of the companies criticized the National Security agency for collecting americans personal information. Yesterday a court ruled against the nsa Surveillance Program exposed by Edward Snowden. Jan crawford is in washington with the story. Jan, good morning. It was a 68page blistering i think is the word for it decision. That said the program was probably unconstitutional. The first of its kind. In this ruling judge richard leon said the program was almost orwellian and the Founding Fathers would be aghast to say how invasive it is. The program collects and stores data of hundreds of millions of telephone records, not who made the call or content of the call but things like when the call took place and how long it lasted. The Administration Says it uses that information to help find connections between potential terrorists. This decision the timing of it also comes as the Obama Administration is reviewing which Surveillance Programs theyre going to continue to operate. So regardless of what the courts eventually decide on this this is one program the administration is studying to see if there should be any new limits. Jan, there was also something in this opinion about the efficacy of the program because when the president defended the program back in june, he said that the data that the nsa gathers can help terrorists. The judge seemed to suggest something otherwise. Thats right, norah. This is a really interesting point. Judge leon said when youre balancing these privacy concerns with the National Security interests, that the government hasnt cited a single instance where the nsa Program Actually stopped an imminent attack. Then on the other hand he said the invasion of americans privacy was so severe that the program couldnt be justified. He did delay this decision. This case is going to be appealed and there are some legal observers who think theres a good chance that this ruling is going to get reversed. Jan, thank you. A new blast of snow hitting the northeast. A clipper is dropping heavy snow in hoboken, new jersey. Our chicago station wbbm is tracking this mornings storm. Reporter here we go again with another snowstorm that will be pounding the northeast today. It starts in chicago with a little bit of light snow. The system that was in the midwest yesterday has pushed to the east coast and could dump heavy snow nothing like what we saw this past weekend, but another round of snow in an area pretty hard hit and its not even technically winter. Could be more than six inches of snowfall around boston about an inch in charleston west virginia. Minor snows through columbus and cleveland. If we head to the east coast where the low pressure will deepen if it exits the coastline, we anticipate providence boston and portland seeing three to six inches. It could be higher around parts of new york city from two to four inches there. Whats your chance of a White Christmas . Virtually nonexistent from texas to florida. A low chance in the whid shaded area. Those closer to the Canadian Border have a much better chance. Looks Like Washington and new york could have a White Christmas.

The 29th annual ceremony will take place in new york city in april. The fastest selling album in itunes history hasnt been on sale for a week. Beyonces smash hit debuted with no warning and no publicity. Anthony mason is with us. Good morning. Good morning. Beyonces new album was so secret, at her label columbia it went by a code name lilly. Apple says its already number one on itunes in 100 countries. The runaway success has the Music Industry wondering if the new pub lipsity is no publicity. Posted on social media at midnight last friday the pop diva announced the release of her fifth solo album titled beyonce. The new album was such a closely guarded secret, even her most diehard fans were caught by surprise. It arrived without a tv blitz. There were no leaked singles. She bypassed all the traditional ways of generating buzz for new albums. I dont want anybody i want this to come out when its ready and from me to my fans. Keith calf field is associate director of charts for billboard magazine. Sometimes all the height doesnt necessarily work. Sometimes the less you know about something, the more you want to find out about it. Clearly people wanted to find out about beyonces album. Throughout the weekend fans lit up twitter with 1. 2 million posts during the first 12 hours of the albums release. Even katy perry and lady gaga got caught up in the excitement. Beyonce calls her work a visual album because each song also comes with its own music video. I wanted people to hear things differently and have a different first impression, not just listen to a tensecond clip, but actually be able to see the whole vision of the album. It was important that we make this a movie. Many of the videos were shot in public locations all over the world before the secret album dropped. I think everyone she worked with must have had an incredibly interesting nondisclosure agreement that they signed so no one knew what was going on until she gave the signal to say it was okay to tell people. There are duets with husband jay z and hiphop star drake. Her daughter blue ivy also makes a cameo. With the albums immediate success, beyonce may have forced the Music Industry to rewrite its rules for promoting and marketing new records. Not everyone will be able to do this in the future but certainly there are probably a lot of artists, a lot of a list artists and their managers and record labels are looking to what beyonce did this week and seeing what they can learn from that. The other thing thats interesting about this norah and charlie, she released it as an album. You cant buy singles which cuts against the grain of the whole single market. Yet she sold 829,000 copies in just three days 13 million in sales. Its worked. And around the world. And around the world. And the video is good. And the video is good. Im not sure anybody else could do this but she could. Is it a trend well see with other companies announcing new products, using social media to the utmost . Certainly within the Music Industry theyre asking that question a lot in the last couple days. I think theres no question its really appealing to artists because they can go directly to their audience. They dont need to go through us, through anybody else and they can say here is my thing, you kind of need to be beyonce to have an audience that big to reach them. Its something george w. Bush used to call the filter meaning us, the media. The last two president ial cycles weve seen president ial candidates trying to speak directly to people avoid what they call the filter. Its hard to believe anybody can pull this off better than beyonce. No. It is amazing they kept the release secret. People knew an album was coming but not when. Its remarkable. Do you like it . From what ive heard of it its really good. I thif thats another reason its selling. Did someone not give me the pink memo today . I feel left out. We actually compare notes a lot. We talk early in the morning. Would you let me in on the little club in the future . Sure. Let us look at the dress first. Okay. Lets stop there.

A leading Infectious Disease specialist joins us to look at the new fda plan next on cbs this morning. Thats ahead on cbs this morning. I dont just make things for a living i take pride in them. So when my moderate to severe chronic plaque psoriasis was also on display, id had it. I finally had a serious talk with my dermatologist. This time, he prescribed humiraadalimumab. Humira helps to clear the surface of my skin by actually working inside my body. In Clinical Trials, most adults with moderate to Severe Plaque Psoriasis saw 75 skin clearance. And the majority of people were clear or almost clear in just 4 months. Humira can lower your ability to fight infections, including tuberculosis. Serious, sometimes fatal events, such as infections, lymphoma or other types of cancer have happened. Blood, liver and nervous system problems, serious allergic reactions and new or worsening Heart Failure have occurred. Before starting humira, your doctor should test you for tb. Ask your doctor if you live in or have been to a region where certain fungal infections are common. Tell your doctor if you have had tb, hepatitis b are prone to infections, or have symptoms such as fever fatigue, cough, or sores. You should not start humira if you have any kind of infection.

Well, the fda is taking a look at antibacterial soaps and body washes. The agency is proposing a rule that Companies Must prove the chemicals used in those products are safe and effective. Dr. Nicole bouvier is professor of Infectious Diseases in new york. Good morning. What does this study look at . What did it show . So what were talking sab proposed rule change that the fda is recommending. Saying the manufactures are of antibacterial soaps have to provide data to the fda to market the soaps. Because theres no proof that . Theres no good evidence that these products help prevent illness as proposed to just removing bacteria. Is. You use the word safe. Why do they have to prove that theyre safe . Theres been new Research Suggesting that these compounds may not be good for human health. So in Animal Studies there have been season hormonal disregulation, thyroid and possibly reproductive hormones. In fact theres a specific ingredient thats in a lot of this antibacterial ingredient that some worry in labs right that is disrupts hormonial stuff and could come to stuff that we dont know about . This ingredient is triclosan, there isnt enough or data and were not sure about the efficacy of it and we say why risk it. The council released a statement that were perplexed that the agency would suggest that there is no evidence that the antibacterial soaps are beneficial as industry as long provided data. There is information that removing backteria actually helps prevent illness. And thats what the fda is looking for. So this is really interesting. Why is this common misperception that all bacteria is bad. In fact, theres a lot of good bacteria . Exactly. We live in a world of bacteria. We have bacteria on our skins, that help us digest our foods. And interfering with that could be harmful. That is the question what is good bacteria and bad bacteria . How do you know the difference . Well most of the bacteria in your daily life is not harmful for you. And you have senses to protect that from hurting you. And the question that the fda is proposing is it necessary to kill the bacteria that arent going to hurt new the rare instances that you might encounter one that might. Right. And its still important to wash your hands . Exactly. What the fda is asking for is proof that these products work better than just plain old soap and water. Dr. Bouvier thank you for joining us.

Reporter kellie pickler, everybody, clap your hands. Reporter his show attracts some of the biggest stars in country music. Its not your traditional country radio. This is how we do it reporter look at what happened during our visit. Na na na na reporter thats charles and david, from seventime grammy winner Lady Antebellum challenging bobby bones.

Give me an idea of the kinds of things designed here. We design furniture. We design bedding, foods, facial cleaners and apparel, jewelry, shoes. Reporter why does it make sense for target to actually design their own products . Our competitor advantage is our design team. We start with a guest, first and foremost. We spent a lot of time observing her or interacting with him or her. To understand how he or she interacts with our products. We take that back to headquarters, we ideaate and design. Reporter pete and stephanie are just two of 600 designers on staff. I studied Aerospace Engineering and then went to Aerospace Engineering designing small Unmanned Aircraft.

We understand its irritateing when a guest has a nice clean countertop. Dispensers drip on the counter. Ours dont do that. Reporter and much of the product lines are target brands that generate more than 10 billion in sales annually. In the u. S. And canada alone there are nearly 2,000 stores. We want to create such a love and loyalty to our brands at target, that our guests will come back time and time again. Really, i think its about connecting with people. Reporter that brand love is openly discussed and developed in brainstorming sessions patented. Its highly technological things, but something thats unique in your design . Yeah. Reporter and then proto typed on 3d printing. How much of a tool is 3d printing . It is essential for us to get it off of a screen and look at it in prototype form and tweak is an important part of the process.

Reporter between home and apparel, target designs 40,000 of its own name brand items each year. Not every idea is successful. Have either of you had a flop . Im sure thats a good question. Im sure its actually hundreds. Yeah. Reporter still, those failures are not deterring the companys focus on growing the customer base. What do you think people want what they go shopping . Theyre looking for incredible value. Thats what were all about. Give the guest confidence that what shes buying at target is on trend and affordable. I always like to say we do the details. We make sure we do all the heavy lifting. And if you can do that then theres not a lot of thinking involved. Its an easy purchase. Reporter we should note that target, or target norah, their design and Development Team is based in the u. S. Many of its products are manufactured overseas.

When you think about that lupita, one week s. A. G. And golden globe . Yeah no. I mean i bet its still sinking in. Yeah im still looking for the words to describe it.

Its why i wanted to go to school. To learn how to use my instrument and to stretch myself and to express human conditions that go beyond my personal experience. How did you get the role . I auditioned. My manager got the script for another client of hers who is also in the movie. And she thought i would be good for the role. So i went to new york and auditioned for the casting director and then finally i was invited down to louisiana to work. I had a tough time with the movie because its very graphic. We were all talking about it. Im wondering what its like for you do you carry that with you. You were brutally beaten you were assaulted. Its beautifully done i will say that but its so tough to watch. You know its very tough to be in patsy spirit but at the same time, it was such a privilege because she was a woman that had light in her despite the darkness that surrounded her. It was actually one of the most joyous experiences of my life playing that role. Lupita as gayle said this is such an important story telling the story of solomon northup, youre beaten repeatedly. That scene is so difficult to watch. It made me tear up because i saw the movie again. You had trouble going back to seat movie the whole movie in its entirety. Why . Well, because, i had lived inside that pain. I was concerned about reliving it. But im happy to say that i did go because the film gave me more than it cost me. And i know lots of people are feeling that. Yeah. So now that you have all these nominations and everybody is talking about you, do you know whats next . Well i dont know yet whats next.
