>> the report does a great job of telling us this is a spectrum that ranges from substance misuse all the way to the more severe form of the disorder, addiction. it's a call to action for a public health crisis that affects individuals, families, society. the number of americans affected by substance use disorders is as many americans as affected by diabetes, more than 1 1/2 times cancer, and yet would we accept a treatment rate of 10% for those diseases? probably not. the hope is that this will catalyze change as did the surgeon general report in the 1960s when it came to tobacco. >> so tara, where do we go from here if this is to be treated as a disease? >> one of the best things this report did is tell us that we need to change our attitude about substance misuse and addiction. we need to have understanding and compassion that this is not a moral failure, this is not a character flaw, not something to be ashamed of. this is something that is a chronic disease of the brain and we need to treat it like a chronic condition. the faces of this disease, our family members, our colleagues, these people need to feel comfortable coming forward and telling us that they need help. and we need to approach this with a public health approach like we would treat any other chronic condition, which means mobilizing doctors, policy makers, educators, parents to really have a multifaceted attack. and the idea is that hopefully with that we understand the science, we know that prevention and treatment work, that recovery is possible, that we can really do this as long as we thanks, tara. one photo that's seared into our memories showed two family members in ohio overdosed in their car with a 4-year-old in the back seat. don dahler has more on this epidemic of opioid abuse. >> hey, girl, what's up?

anna werner takes a look. >> reporter: is it nepotism, favoring his relatives, if the administration? a federal law banning such appointments suggests it is, but house speaker paul ryan said today he doesn't know. >> he's obviously a brilliant young man who donald trump trusts. so i'll leave it up to the trump transition team as to decide what role he plays. >> reporter: there are also concerns kushner might be given access to the highly classified presidential daily briefings. in a letter yesterday to vice president-elect mike pence house democrat elijah cummings said, "if these reports are true, mr. p' astonishingly cavalier attitude toward our nation's most sensitive secrets. >> jared is a very successful real estate person but i actually think he likes politics more than he likes real estate. i'm excited. >> reporter: much of the country knows little about the 35-year-old harvard graduate other than that he's married to ivanka trump, seen with her here in an instagram video. >> i always tell ivanka don't worry about the things you can't winning campaign. "esquire" contributor vicky ward has covered kushner for over a decade. >> he really believed that his father-in-law had a message that resonated with middle america, and he also realized that all his social and professional friends didn't get it. >> reporter: and ward says a steadying influence on his father-in-law. >> he knows not to always take him literally. he knows how to handle him. i think that gives him great power. because it means that he can get through to his father-in-law when perhaps a lot of other people cannot. >> reporter: kushner was thrust into the spotlight at age 24 when his father, charles, was convicted some years back of illegal campaign contributions, tax evasion, and witness tampering. john, the prosecutor was a young chris christie, who was ousted recently as trump's transition head. >> anna werner outside of trump tower for us tonight. ,, ,, ,, today mr. trump met with japan's prime minister, his first meeting with a world leader since the election. the vice president-elect went to the capitol to build bridges with friends and former colleagues. here's nancy cordes. >> reporter: vice president-elect pence was on a charm offensive today, taking selfies with house republicans, meeting with leaders and tourists alike. >> this is earl, everybody. >> reporter: the 12-year veteran of capitol hill vowed to be a link between congress and the president-elect, whose shifting positions sometimes puzzle lawmakers from both sides. >> we're beginning to discuss areas that we might move forward on together. >> reporter: as mr. pence made the rounds in d.c., a steady trump tower, including south carolina governor nikki haley, who is rumored to be in the running for secretary of state despite once calling mr. trump an embarrassment. in fact, campaign sources have begun floating a number of former detractors for top roles including texas senator ted cruz and even former gop nominee mitt romney. >> donald trump is a phony, a fraud. was more than reciprocated. >> because i don't like romney. i don't like him. he thinks he's hot stuff. i hate people that think they're hot stuff and they're nothing. okay? nothing. >> reporter: cbs news has learned the two will sit down on saturday. trump loyalist and alabama senator jeff sessions. >> well, i think it's good that the president-elect is meeting he's meeting with a lot of talented people. >> reporter: and it would be tough to fill the top ranks of government without tapping at least some former critics. one trump ally took himself out of the running for a cabinet position today, scott. newt gingrich said he wants to be free to plan strategically at all levels of government. >> nancy cordes. thanks so much, nancy. tonight a new and sinister picture is emerging in the shooting deaths of three american soldiers this month in jordan. an important u.s. ally in the middle east. david martin is following this. >> reporter: as army sergeant james moriarty's body came home, u.s. officials said a video of the incident in which he and two other american soldiers were killed appears to show a deliberate terrorist attack, not as was first believed a tragic accident. the three soldiers were all green berets working for the cia in jordan, training syrian rebels. u.s. officials say security camera video shows several broad daylight at the entrance to the jordanian airfield where the green berets were based. the first was allowed to pass through the gate, but then a guard suddenly opened fire on the second vehicle, killing both americans inside. the americans in the third and fourth vehicles jumped out and started returning fire. the jordanian guard shot and killed one of them before he was wounded by the other. jordanian officials originally blamed the americans for failing to stop at gate. but the u.s. embassy in jordan said in a statement, "there is absolutely no credible evidence ey the fbi is leading the investigation, but so far has been unable to question the shooter because he is in a medically induced coma. john? >> david martin at the pentagon. thank you, david. in morocco today nearly 200 countries reaffirmed their support for the global climate agreement reached in paris last year. many are worried president-elect trump will pull out of the deal. further south in africa climate change is taking a toll on diaries." >> reporter: there's a population up there on the slopes of these volcanic peaks in central africa that knows nothing of arguments in washington about climate change. but the famous gorillas in the mist do know something is going on. they know the bamboo chutes that make up a major part of their diet and which used to sprout like clockwork are now less predictable. the rains that produced them were a month late this year. the gorillas have had to adapt their roaming and foraging patterns because the old seasonal rhythms of food production have altered. their world is changing. these guys are the 800-pound gorillas in the room except of course they really weigh in at about 400 pounds and they're not in control of event, they're the potential victims of them. the gorilla's problems are made worse by the troubles of their distant cousins and close neighbors, people. because the late rains have also made the water supply down in the valleys less reliable, local villagers have been going up into gorilla country where they're not supposed to go to bring that good mountain water home. and park ranger abel musana says water isn't the only thing people are after. >> when there is that kind of change and -- gh >> reporter: drought?

>> yes. your reaction to this election? surprised? >> surprised -- >> fear? >> it all ties together. well, fear. you know, here's what i would honestly say. i don't believe we are a fundamentally different country today than we were two weeks ago. grace and flaws and volatility and insecurity and strength and resilience exists today as existed two weeks ago. the same country that elected donald trump elected barack obama. i feel badly for the people for whom this election will mean more uncertainty and insecurity. but i also feel like this fight has never been easy and the ultimate irony of this election is the cynical strategy of the republicans, which is our position is government doesn't work, we are going to make sure that it doesn't -- >> drain the swamp. >> but they're not draining the swamp. mcconnell and ryan, those guys are the swamp. and what they decided to do was i'm going to make sure government doesn't work and then working as evidence of it. donald trump is a reaction not just to democrats but to republicans. he's not a republican. he's a repudiation of republicans. but they will reap the benefit of his victory. in all of their cynicism and all of their -- i will guarantee you republicans are going to come to jesus now about the power of government. i think i would rather have this conversation openly and honestly than in dog whistles. somebody was saying there might be an anti-semite that's working in the white house. and i'm like have you listened to the nixon tapes? forget about advising the president. the president. like have you read lbj? do you know our history? you know, this is -- and we also have to caution ourselves to the complexity of that history. i thought donald trump disqualified himself at numerous points. but there is now this idea that anyone who voted for him is -- has to be defined by the worst of his rhetoric. neighborhood like that i love, that i respect that i think have incredible qualities who are not afraid of mexicans and not afraid of muslims and not afraid of blacks, they're afraid of their insurance premiums. in the legal community you hate this idea of creating people as a monolith. don't look at muslims as a monolith. they are individuals. it would be ignorance. but everybwh racist. that hypocrisy is also real in our country. and so this is the fight that we wage against ourselves and each other because america's not natural. natural is tribal. we're fighting against thousands of years of human behavior and history to create something that no one's ever -- that's what's exceptional about america, and that's what's -- like this ain't easy. it's an incredible thing. >> well, words of wisdom from jon stewart. beyond his years. jeffrey rogers is a self-made freelance journalist, and he's overcome a lot for an eighth-grader. demarco morgan has his story. >> i get out of school. if i have any homework i'll try to do it at least. and i go downstairs to my office in the basement. i listen to the scanner and follow up on any stories that i have. this is my little newsroom. >> you've got a newsroom in your home?
