President elect trump on his thank you tour praising Rex Tillerson, his pick for secretary of state.

On cbs this morning. The president elect met at trump tower with kanye west. You can tell it was a highpowered meeting because kanye is wearing his formal sweatsuit. What an amazing thing to see our next two president s side by side like that. Its its remarkable. This mornings eye opener is presented by toyota. Lets go places. Welcome to cbs this morning. Gayle king is off, alex wagner cohost of cbs this Morning Saturday is with us. A new humanitarian crisis is unfolding in the syrian city of aleppo after a dayold ceasefire appeared to fall apart. Rebels and progovernment troops on the verge of retaking the whole city are attacking each other with gunfire and shelling. The United Nations warns of a complete meltdown of humanity. Think about that the rebels are holed up among thousands of civilians in the deliver of territory in the east. Syrian government buses waited this morning to transport tense of thousands of civilians and rebels. This is part of the ceasefire deal. Look at this. The buses have now left empty. Completely empty. Holly williams is following the crisis from istanbul, turkey. Holly, good morning. Good morning. There are also reports today of more air strikes. But to all intents and purposes the Syrian Regime is now in control of aleppo. The city is a strategic prize but its come at a horrifying cost. Its hard to believe this is happening in the twisp century. Aleppo used to be home to 2 Million People and center of ancient civilization. Now, bludgeoned by a barbaric war. Its people pounded by bombs. After four years of fighting in the city, the Syrian Regime has won it back from the countrys rebels except for one tiny pocket. But its done it with total disregard for civilian life. The Syrian Government has indiscriminately killed its own people. And syria has won this victory with the backing of russia and iran to americas ambassador to the u. N. Addressed yesterday. Are you truly incapable of shame . Is there literally nothing that can shame you . Is there no act of barbarism against civilians, no execution of a child that gets under your skin and just creeps you out a little bit . Reporter as forces tighten the noose, some of those apparently still living in rebelheld areas have been posting desperate videos on the internet. Reporter the u. N. Says there are around 50,000 civilians, many, women, and children, trapped in the handful of neighborhoods still held by the rebels. A tragedy of epic proportions. Holly williams in istanbul. Thank you. President elect trump will hold a summit today with some of the tech industrys most important names. The guest lists include facebooks sheryl sandberg, amazons jeff bezos, apples tim cook, and teslas elon musk. They represent a community that mostly wanted Hillary Clinton to be the next president. Last night the president elect cheered his secretary of state nominee and House Speaker paul ryan in front of supporters in a milwaukee suburb. Nancy cordes is covering the trump transition. Nancy, good morning. Good morning. Mr. Trump called Rex Tillerson one of the greatest Global Business leaders of our time. And he also buried the hatchet at that rally with the man who will be the second most powerful republican in washington, the House Speaker. Honestly, theyve never seen a resume like this before. Reporter at a victory rally in wisconsin, the president elect defended his choice of Rex Tillerson for secretary of state. Rex is friendly with many of the leaders in the world that we dont get along with. And some people dont like that. They dont want him to be friendly. Thats why im doing the deal with rex. Because i like what this is all about. Reporter mr. Trump is the first republican nominee to win wisconsin since 1984. In an effort to smooth over iraira a rocky relationship he thanked a native son. House speaker paul ryan. Hes like a fine wine. Every day goes by i get to appreciate his genius more and more. Reporter earlier in the day the president elect met with a series of the rich and famous, including vogue editor in chief an anna wintour, jim brown and ray lewis, microsoft founder bill gates, and the unpredictable rap Moog Yule Kanye west. Just friends. Just friends. And hes a good man. Reporter montana congressman ryan zinke also stopped by this week. Hes mr. Trumps pick for secretary of the interior. Zinke is a former s. E. A. L. Team six commander and a vocal critic of the current administrations handling of military matters. The western congressman sits on the House National Resources Committee and has opposed legislation to sell federal land to states. We need a president that understands that agriculture makes this country great. An early trump backer the congressman questioned the effect of Climate Change in 2014. Saying america should first strive for energy independence. The issue is, its not a hoax. But its not proven science, either. But you dont dismantle americas power and energy on a maybe. The interior department is responsible for conserving federal land and natural resources. And nearly onethird of montanas land, the state where zinke is currently the sole congressman, is owned by the state or the federal government. Charlie . Nancy, thanks. The Trump Transition Team says Rex Tillerson is already a diplomat as part of his job of ceo of a huge Global Corporation like exxonmobil. Tillerson has strong ties to more than 50 countries. Margaret brennan is at the white house with how critics are focused on russia. Good morning. Good morning. As chief of americas largest oil company, Rex Tillerson has put access to energy as his top priority. The question now is, as secretary of state, will he approach Foreign Policy challenges as a dealmaker, or as a diplomat . Rex will be a fierce advocate for americas interests around the world. Reporter the president elect defended Rex Tillersons business ties with Russias Vladimir Putin and other countries with poor human rights records. But members of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee who will be judging his nominations worry that tillersons business interests may cloud his judgment. Democrat chris coons sits on the committee. As secretary of state hes going to have to fight for free press, human rights, democracy, things that Oil Companies dont typically fight for around the world. Reporter if all nine democrats on the 19member Committee Vote against tillerson, it would take a vote of just one of the panels ten republicans to block the exxon chiefs nomination. Senators marco rubio and john mccain have already raised concerns. Exxonmobils record on the environment will also be on the table. The company is facing at least three lawsuits on pollution and Climate Change. But tillerson has said that Climate Change is real. Something mr. Trump has denied. Theres no question the climate is changing, and we have never thats never been up for debate. Reporter another Sticking Point will be his plans to comply with federal conflict of interest laws that require tillerson to separate from his significant business interests. Including well over 200 Million Dollars of exxonmobil stock. Hell now have to die vest that according to former white House Counsel norman isaac. Congress and the American People are going to need to judge, can we trust mr. Tillerson not to have the appearance of a conflict . Reporter exxonmobils board will meet soon to figure out how to unwind his financial stake. Taking the job of secretary of state will come at some financial cost to Rex Tillerson. All right, margaret, thank you so much. A Senior Adviser to mitt romney, and paul ryan in the 2012 president ial campaign. Good morning. Good morning. So what are you hearing from republicans in the senate about Rex Tillerson . A lot of questions. So, with other nominees, you will see statements being issued that basically say, were green lighting this. They actually have to go through the process but its going to be they know where theyre going to wind up. This is one where enough republicans, it only takes three republicans assuming all democrats vote against tillersons nomination, only takes three republicans to sink his nomination and theyre raising serious questions. On the one hand they say, look, hes got an impeccable resume. He ran one of the Ten Largest Companies in the world. A company with half a trillion dollars in revenues and market cap. An organization whose staff is comparable in size actually to the sprawling state department. Hes got the support of key figures in the republican Foreign Policy establishment, baker, gate, wright, hadley. And the president should have the prerogative of picking his own advisers. But theres a question about whether or not what hes done with russia and with iran and with other countries reflects just pure business interest or world just think about todays news. A fouryear civil war on aleppo appears to be over. Assad has won. Yes. I mean lets talk about that is that about Rex Tillerson or barack obama and his administration thats had an opportunity to do so . If you look at the trajectory of what happened. 2011 the assault on civilians began, president obama did nothing. 2013 the red line was issued, president obama didnt follow through with it. 2014, 2015, russia intervention, which took the human catastrophe down to a whole other level. I mean, and this is russia complicity. And we have i mean, many republicans believe over the years youve had president george w. Bush, youve had president barack obama, youve had secretary clinton, all approached putin with a bear hug and they dont want another president , secretary of state to do the same thing. Do you expect tillerson to do a bear hug or talk tough to Vladimir Putin because he knows him, because he has some credibility with him . That is the key question. I spoke to one republican senator over the weekend who said look, when tillerson goes around to do his meetings before his confirmation process it really depends on what he says in those meetings. Does he say, you guys, come on, i know how to deal with this guy. Ill make sure the u. S. Does not get rolled. I was doing business deals with him. Now ive got the interests of the United States at heart and that will be my focus in dealing with putin. I know how to deal with him. Theyll give him a pass. If he says no, no, no the things i said about putin in russia reflect my world view we need to back off, take pressure off putin, that will be a problem in the corn firmation process. You think this is going to matter in terms of trumps position as far as the russian hacks . Absolutely. Timing has not been great. One of his great attributes, you know, being touted as hes a quote of vladimirs tillerson is. Im not sure thats the head line you want, given the headlines were dealing with right now. Dan senor. Always good to have you. In our next hour only on cbs this morning, former secretary of state james baker will join us. Ahead why he recommended Rex Tillerson to be americas top diplomat in millions of americans face dangerous cold as arctic air blankets the northern half of the country. Temperatures plunged from month to to the great lakes. Windchills are 20 degrees below zero. The storm is expected to bring snow and ice to much of the country. Good morning. Im standing along the bank of the mississippi river, where ice chunks are starting to form along the moving river. Thats because it has been so cold. Today it will only reach 8 degrees for a high in minneapolis. Last year on this date, it was 30 degrees warmer. And with the cold temperatures comes an increased threat of heart attacks, hypothermia, Carbon Monoxide poisoning, and frostbite. Near whiteout conditions added insult to the bitter temperatures in Northern Michigan tuesday. The blast of arctic air barreling across the northwest is uncomfortable. This is more than brutal. Reporter and dangerous. In minnesota, Good Samaritans pulled a woman from her car when she slid off the road onto thin ice. Nearly 150 miles away in duluth, where windchills hit negative 31 degrees a cargo ship encased in ice arrived. For millions of americans, the subfreezing testimony t temperatures are unavoidable. 47 of u. S. Jobs require outdoor work. Thats about 64 Million People. Its like being in a freezer. Reporter these contractors in minneapolis are spending up to ten hours a day outside in single digit temperatures. Its cool on the teeth. Cool on the lips. We dress in layers out here. Reporter in chicago, where the windchill dropped to negative 8 overnight, crews lit tracks on fire to keep them from frozing over. In 5 degree weather, 10mileperhour winds create a windchill of negative 10 degrees. At the same temperature it 20mileperhour winds result in a negative 15 degree windchill. 30mileperhour winds, mean negative 19 degree windchills which can cause frostbite in 30 minutes. It has not broken ten degrees the last two days here in minneapolis, and thursday and friday could be even colder, as that arctic air starts to move east. Stay warm. Thank you, jamie. This morning we are remembering the life and the career of actor alan thicke. He died yesterday after suffering a heart attack. Many remember thicke as the iconic tv dad dr. Jason seaver in the 1980s sitcom growing pains. The 69yearold worked on more than 100 tv shows and movies. Josh elliott is here to show us his accomplishments on and off the camera. Josh, always great to see you. You, too. Alan thicke, of course, wasnt just a memorable tv actor of his time. He was also a singer, he was composer, and well maybe above all else, he was americas dad.

I look at my kids, spend some time with them and see what they accomplish, and generally, i feel that i must have done some of it right. Pop star robin thicke is alans son, one of thickes three children. I think it starts with family. Because im madly in love with all of them. I think all three of my boys are quite fabulous. When i look at them i pat myself on the back. Now, early this morning, robin thicke posted a brief note to instagram in memory of his dad. Saying, in part, my father passed away today.

This half hour, we will take a deep look at how russia hacked into the Democratic National committee and the clinton campaign. The New York Times National Security correspondent david sanger is in studio 57 how a lowkey fbi response apparently allowed this cyber theft to get worse. Plus, a former nfl player is accused of taking 20 million in kickbacks by abusing military benefits. Just ahead, how that may be the tip of the iceberg in an alleged Health Care Fraud uncovered by cbs news. Time to show you some of the mornings headlines from around the globe. Usa today says millions of americans could be drinking toxic water and would never know it. An investigation found about 4 million americans get water from small operators who skip required safety tests or did not conduct tests properly. About 100,000 people get their Drinking Water from utilities that discovered high lead but failed to treat it. The epa says a cargo ship as it sank in a hurricane. A newly released transcript shows one sailor cried, im a goner as the el faro went down last year in the atlantic. The captain refused to change course and that angers the wife of a crew man who died. I would have thrown the captain overboard and tried to save myself and the ship, if it were me. But its just devastating that Something Like this happened. All 33 people on board the el faro died. The Washington Post reports scientists are frantically coping climate data because they fear the Trump Administration may tamper with it. In recent weeks, the president elect has nominated growing list of cabinet members who question the evidence around global warming. Scientists are now archiving reams of climate data on independent servers to keep the information safe. The New York Times investigates how the kremlin hacked and then leaked tens of thousands of emails from the Democratic National committee and Hillary Clintons campaign chair. The times says an early fumbling encounter between the dnc and fbi, quote, meant the best chance to halt the russian intrusion was lost. The failure to grasp the attacks. The white house reluctance meant the russians have not paid a heavy price for their office. Vladimir putin turned, quote, two institutions the core of american democracy and political campaigns and independent media to his own ends. Cbs this morning asked for a comment overnight from the white house and fbi and dnc and Democratic National committee and the trump transition and we did not immediate get a response. The New York Times National Security correspondent david sanger cowrote the article and we are pleased to have you here. You compare this to the watergate break opinion in except by a foreign power. That is the amazing thing. You go down in the basement of the dncs headquarters and there they have, we have it in the photograph that is on the front page, their old file cabinet that was propped open during the watergate breakin 44 years ago and next to it, a thin little dell server that is about the size of a laptop. Incredible. That the russians got into and it got far more data. Why is the the sony hack two years ago, which we spent a lot of time talking about here and charlie and i have, in that time period, they got it in a few weeks, the attribution of north korea and president came in the press room and accused the north korea leadership and imposed sanctions and after that had sanctions they still havent used against the russians. Partly for good reasons. They did not want to be appearing in oo way with Hillary Clinton and probably because of the escalation ladder because they felt if they acted before the lexs the russians could hack the election system. This is incredible read and incredible reporting to see this lowkey approach as you call it by the russians resulted in this massive breakthrough. The republican National Committee has said that they were not hacked. What does your reporting suggest . Our reporting suggests they were, but not in the committee, itself. Like most organizations, they take their data and send it off to some vendors. And guess what. U. S. Intelligence found Republican Data as well. Now they may be narrowly correct in that it may not have been the server in the rnc but to say they werent hacked is to say the Personnel Management wasnt. Was it the goal to influence the outcome of the election in favor of donald trump . You quote the head of the commander of the u. S. Cyber command. What did admiral rogers say . What he said there was a very deliberate effort here to influence the election. He did not say on whose behalf. I think while there are a lot of arguments right now about what the ultimate intent of the russians was, i think you have to think of this as a rolling intent that they started to disrupt and they may have ended up in the last stages when they thought that mr. Trump was a viable candidate going one of the points that have been made if, in fact, they did hack the rnc and dnc as well, they only gave to wikepedia, the russians what they found from the democrats and not the republicans . Thats right. Wikileaks only got the material from the democrats. We dont know if that is because they were putting their finger on the scale or because what they got out of the republicans wasnt terribly interesting. Do we know whether they did anything to have access to the emails on Hillary Clintons server . I have never found anybody with any evidence that they got on to Hillary Clintons server. On the other hand, i would have to say that knowing they had gotten into the state department, the white house, and the joint chiefs of staff, it seems remarkable to me they wouldnt have at least tried to get into Hillary Clintons email. Cyber attacks are cheap and can be executed from afar and can wreak incredible havoc. What does the administration need to know about and Going Forward . They actually turned out somethin a country without prompting a military response. Wow. David, incredible piece of journalism. Thank you very much. Thank you very much.

The Justice Department says former nfl player monday i didnt grow made roughly 20 million in kickbacks from a Compounding Pharmacy in florida.

It is wednesday, december 14th, 2016. Welcome back to cbs this morning. There is more real news ahead, including former secretary of state james bakker, why he recommended Rex Tillerson for his old post and what challenges the administration faces overseas. First, here is todays eye opener at 8 00. The Syrian Regime is now in control of aleppo. The city is a strategic prize. Mr. Trump called Rex Tillerson one of the greatest Global Business leaders of our time. As secretary of state, will he approach Foreign Policy challenges as a dealmaker or as a diplomat . What are you hearing from republicans in the senate about Rex Tillerson . A lot of questions. It only takes three republicans to sink his nomination.

The collapse of a day old ceasefire led to a new humanitarian crisis in the syrian city of aleppo. The u. N. Describes it as a complete meltdown of humanity. Thousands of civilians are trapped among rebel fighters in a tiny section in the east of the city. The u. N. Says there is evidence pro Government Forces massacred 82 civilians including 11 women and 13 children. At an Emergency Security council meeting, American Ambassador Samantha Power criticized russia, iran and the assad regime. Three Member States of the u. N. Contributing to a noose around civilians. It should shame you. Instead, by all appearances, it is emboldening you. You are plotting your next assault. Are you truly incapable of shame . Is there literally nothing that can shame you . Russia and syria denied committing atrocities. President elect trumps nominee for secretary of state, exxonmobil Ceo Rex Tillerson will need to address the syrian at a thank you rally in wisconsin last night, mr. Trump called tillerson, quote, one of the greatest and most skilled Global Business leaders of our time. Tillerson has spent decades negotiating multibillion dollar oil deals that benefited exxonmobil and russia. Members of both parties say they are concerned about those relationships. James bakker served as secretary of state in the first Bush White House during the first gulf war. The fall of the berlin wall, and the collapse of the soviet union. He also worked as treasury secretary for president Ronald Reagan and as chief of staff. He joins us from houston for an interview you can only see on cbs this morning. Good morning. Good morning, charlie. How are you . Im good. And it is good to have you with us this morning at a time like this. Let me begin with syria and the humanitarian crisis. Were now talking about Rex Tillerson as secretary of state. You know this manu well, hes from your home state. What would he do . What would he be recommending . What is his world view about syria . I dont know that i know his world view about syria, but i know this, hes an excellent choice to be secretary of state. And he has the opportunity to be an extraordinarily effective one because he has the management skills, hes got the experience international experience, and hes got the negotiating skills to do the job and to do a very good job at it. Are you worried about his closeness with Vladimir Putin . Well, im not worried about that, charlie, because he was doing and getting close to Vladimir Putin, he was doing what he should have done for the shareholders of exxonmobil. And that is make good deals, good agreements with foreign powers whether they were authoritarian or not. But added to the bottom line for the shareholders of exxonmobil. You know, we used to have a saying in washington when i was up there, that where you stand is a function of where you sit. And he was sitting in the ceos chair of exxonmobil. Now hes going to be sitting in the secretary of states chair on the seventh floor of the state department, and i guarantee you hes going to have a different outlook. Hes going to be looking at formulating and implementing american Foreign Policy on the basis of the principles and values of this country and in the National Interest of this country. Explain the difference from being a ceo of exxonmobil and cutting a deal with russia, a transactional relationship. How is that different, though, from what needs to be done as a diplomat and secretary of state . Well, im not sure, because ive never been a ceo, norah. So i dont know. But i have cut a lot of deals for the United States. And i did so as treasury secretary and i did so as secretary of state and some of them were probably good and some of them maybe not so good. But i dont think there is a heck of a lot of difference. I think, you know, you know what your countrys interest is and what our principles and values are and you cut a deal that supports all of that, and you dont give those away. Just because you have a relationship with the person on the other side of the table that you can talk to. So i sorry, mr. Secretary, your partner in a law firm that represents exxonmobil and some of the russian Gas Companies that do business with exxonmobil. Two part question, do you have any experience working with Rex Tillerson and do you think that at all complicates your support for him in. Well, ive never done anything for the company that which rex was directly involved. I know him. Hes a friend of mine. I hunt elk with him. And i have great confidence in his ability. I want to tell you something, though, this story that somehow i was out there pushing rex early on is not correct. When the transition people for the trump for president elect trump called me, i gave him really high marks. That call came in monday. Day before yesterday. So some of the reporting that youve seen on that, that somehow i was pushing him because of my firms representation of exxonmobil, thats not true. But i do think he would be an excellent secretary of state. Who was your first choice . I dont know i want to get into all that, charlie. But i will i will tell you i will tell you this. I will tell you this. I think that there were three people under consideration by the president elect that i thought would do an extraordinarily good job as secretary of state. One of them was senator bob corker, who is chairman of Foreign Relations committee in the senate. The other was former governor mitt romney and the third is Rex Tillerson, but not necessarily in that order. What marks would you give donald trump in terms of who hes appointing as secretary of to his administration . Is he doing well, in your judgment . In my judgment, hes doing very well, particularly given all the questions and concerns that were out there originally. Yes, i think hes appointing some extraordinarily capable people. But you have to wait and see how it all plays out. I was thinking you were going to ask me a question, what is it that Rex Tillerson does what does he need to do to be a good secretary of state. I was going to tell you, that most important thing that he needs to do is to establish a seamless relationship with his president. You cannot succeed as secretary of state unless you have that kind of relationship and fortunately i had that kind of a relationship with george h. W. Bush. Way back to the time you both were young men in texas and worked for each other. No, we didnt work for each other. But you supported his campaign. It went back years because we have been friends for 40 years, yes, it did that. I didnt have as difficult a job establishing a seamless relationship with my president. But thats the important thing for any secretary of state. Mr. Secretary, i know we want to talk about something that is close to your heart, which is the struggle, the plight of elephants around the world. Youve called for a worldwide ban on ivory. Youve said that elephants are our collective responsibility and global citizens. What needs to be done . What needs to be done is a global ban on the trade of ivory. Ivory trade. When i was secretary of state, in 1989, 1990, i pushed for that. We got that implemented through the convention on International Trade and endangered species. Then over the years, that ban began to erode a little bit, exceptions were made here and there, progress was made, by the way, in restoring elephant populations while that ban was in effect. As it eroded, that progress was lost. And we run the risk of waking up here one day with elephants in dire straits, in dire possibility of extinction. I dont want my grandchildren and great grandchildren to grow up in a world that doesnt have elephants. And we have a great risk of that today. Thats an admirable concern. Some people looking at the Trump Administration the future Trump Administration believe there are too few people who have a strong view to protect the planet. And who have strong views about the dangers of global warming. Well, i dont know that i can speak for everybody in the administration, i certainly can, i dont know what the views are. I do know this, Rex Tillerson was one of the people one of the Corporate Leaders in the United States who first came out and acknowledged the problem of Climate Change. And so but i cant answer for people who have been appointed to positions like epa and so forth. I dont know the answer to that. Thank you. Secretary baker, thank you for taking the time this morning. Thank you for having me.

Im proud to be an american reporter trump has softened his position on visas for highly skilled immigrants. Im changing. Im changing.

Powerful storms and high tides in Northern California today could slow efforts to fill a large sinkhole. Crews have been working to fill the 15foot hole along the coast. At first, it appeared on saturday. John blackstone is in pacifica, has disappeared into a huge sinkhole. At 15foot section of the trail just dropped away into the ocean. The trail is now off limits, as crews pump concrete and sand into the massive sinkhole. This is only the latest effort to stop erosion of the cliff here that has been falling away for decades. We have seen waves up pretty high every year but this is the worst ive seen. Reporter the company that owns the land told cbs this morning, an underground pipe separated and caused leaking water to saturate the ground below. As crews work to stabilize the area, powerful tides are moving in. Sand just, you know, washed away and that is what we have big cavity. Reporter the cliffs here are more than a hundred feet tall and when the base is pounded by high surf, the bluff is undermined. When you get the big breakers and ground swells coming in, that really takes a beating on these things. Reporter rick gillaza grew up in this area and watched waves erode the pacifica coastline for years. I have memories when i was a child out here and i take my wife out here now and try and find the places where my dad and i fished years ago. They are gone. Reporter houses that were once here are gone too. When major el nino storms hit california in 1998 the bluffs eroded so quickly, residents fled before one home tumbled into the ocean. Other houses were knocked down before they, too, fell off the cliff. Earlier this year, two apartment buildings were demolished as the bluff beneath them continued to drop away and a third ocean view apartment complex was condemned as massive erosion put the building at cliffs edge. You must have come along here, seen those apartments often. Could you ever have imagined that it would be like it is today . Hanging off the edge . Well, gosh. Coming out here every how about that . John, thank you so much. Parents of teenagers might be surprised to learn what their kids really think about having them around. The New York Times looks into the issue in an online article called what do teenagers want . Potted plant parents. Psychologist lisa demoore writes, quote. Here is a complaint one might not expect. They wish their parents were around more often. Lisa demoore is a cbs news contributor. Good morning. Good morning. When i first heard the phrase potted plant, i thought negative. But you take it a different direction . I do. What ive learned from teenagers is they like to have their parents around but that doesnt mean they want to interact with their parents. So i think a potted plant makes a good metaphor for that. Yes. What do the studies show . What the teenagers are asking for. What we see is the data on the e of the teenagers preference to have the parents there. One of the really interesting thing in the data they separate out parental press from warm and connectiveness in the families and even when the warmth and connectiveness is not strong the presents in and of itself is available for teenagers. What about the working parents that cant be around as much as perhaps they would like to be . Absolutely. Families with big jobs or who are spread thin. So they cant always be present in the ways they want. So the good news is that teens are resilient, kids are resilient. Kids thif under all sorts of conditions. What we see in one of the studies i cite in the article looked at what they call fly in and fly out parents in australia. There is a large sector of parents who work away from home for two to three weeks at a time on oil rigs or mines. They studied those families. Their teens were more stressed as you might expect but they were doing just absolutely just fine. I think the point here is families do the best they can with the option they have got, but mostly what we want to do is reassure parents that you just being around is enough. I think often we feel like we got to interact and we got to have a conversation. That is not necessarily what the data show. Ive always been curious about this question. What is it about the teenage to rebel against their parents . That terrible side effect of puberty. Their job to become independent. I think a normal development a teens job to push away and a parents job to pull back. The other reason honestly they get wise to us. You know . At 14, the scales fall away. Bored . Yes. They realize youre older and noon what dodd all the time. I think a pull of being with your friends and they are developing friends and contact and they want to be where they are and doing their thing. Absolutely. That is their job. What we want to do in that context is for home to be a secure base. You know, that they can explore the world and move away and come back and know that parents are available, if needed. I think one of the challenges with teenagers is needs arise quickly. For anyone who spend time with teenagers knows they are fine one minute and completely not fine the next. For teenagers, i think they feel lets pretend youre not there but dont go anywhere. I might need you. What is a world example of being a potted plant parents . Sure. I collected these from my friends as i was writing them. One just folds laundry every night in a room where her teenagers watch tv. She is around and there is no pressure, no expectation. Interesting. And another one of my friends, his daughter will ask him to sit in the room where she does her homework and he just does his work there quietly. I think that we can just underestimate the value of just being available without an agenda. You know, so many adults, when they are with teenagers, they are bringing an agenda. Its a coach or a teacher or parent. I wonder fountain inverse is too. We played that clip from amy poehler and means girls. Does that have a deleterious effect on a relationship . Not necessarily. Parent involvement is a good thing. I think what i want to reassure parents is that just because youre not having a deep conversation, just because your teenager is not coming wito you with questions doesnt mean you just being there in the kitchen doing your thing, available if they need you, that is still valuable. So could i move into your office . Because if you were there, i would just have more fun. You want me to be there around you more . Yes. I can do that. I could get more done. Beautiful. You guys are on to something. Ill be your potted plant i dont think you want me as a potted plant, though. You want more than that. A beautiful potted plant. When two harvard grads couldnt find the right color nude for their skin tones, they turned to technology. Ahead, how their breakthrough won the support of nearly a dozen ,,,,,,,,,,,, the global lingerie industry is expected to reached 30 billion next year. For most women, finding the right shade of clothing or makeup that matches your skin tone can a be a challenge and some Startup Companies are work to go expand the nude color palette. Meg ryan has more. Reporter woki inworking fro kitchen table, two Harvard Business graduates are hoping to change how the resale community sees all skin colors. We are the first to tackle this problem. Reporter the problem according to entrepreneurs have been fashions limited range in the color nude. When you grew up, what did the color nude to you . It definitely meant beige. I have a lot of stories of wearing beige nude hosiery and just having ashy legs. Reporter the children of sudanese and mexican immigrants bonded from lingerie and nylons to makeup. We were talking about needing flesh tone products and there just being this huge gap. And so it came out of this desire to do something good for the world. Reporter on a mission to change the standard of beauty for women around the globe, they launched their company nudist last july, just months out of school. You can come to our site, try our nude meter. We digitize your skin tone and we match you with product that best matches your skin tone. Reporter they say their nude meter is the first of its kind. Propriety algorithm. Between of two us we were scanning peoples skin and looking at different, like, products versus skin tone, and coming up with what were the different variables that we need to measure to match product to skin tone. Reporter it sounds very harvardlike. We give the nude meter a shot. It starts by taking a picture of your hand on a white sheet of paper. So then you select your skin tone. That looks good. Reporter looks good. Then you shop your skin tone. Now number 7. That is your nude. Reporter once you know your nude, the site cureates longry and hosiery to match and they have a wide variety of skin tones. Are you actually matching peoples skin tone with products or are you offering products that are close enough . We do offer products that are close enough, because theres still a gap in the market for nude products. Reporter we examined that gap. When we went to the websites of ten major retailers, we found few options for women of color. The current definition of nude, the beige tones, do not match 84 of the global population. So the opportunity is big to fix this. Reporter julie wills is a fashion and beauty editor for essence magazine and says its not a move, btrend, but a movem i feel trends are fleeting and i dont want this to be a fleety thing. Reporter wem pooem apeople about it on social media. I think social media is really the reason why this is all happening. Its really kind of energized people to be more vocal about what they want. Reporter companies are being called out. Yes. Yeah. A lot. Reporter as more companies answer the call with more skin tone options, ateam and nancy plan to expand as well. We talk about launching footwear which we call the most coveted nude item. Right now if you got google and search nude shoes you will not find anything that matches my skin tone. Our customers keep asking, when is footwear coming . Shoes. Its all about shoes. Women love shoes. Reporter now the nude meter isnt perfect just yet. The ladies are constantly refining the product to work out some sinking. The young entrepreneurs are working on those explanation plans and means moving out of nancys apartment and new office space and even hiring some employees because they do everything themselves right now. Im so excited about this story. I can never find nude that matches my skin tone. Its not for darkerskinned women.

A look at the bay bridge toll plaza live, this is a lot of traffic here. The maze to downtown westbound will take you up to 30 minutes.
