places. captioning funded by cbs welcome to "cbs this morning." norah o'donnell and gayle king are off. margaret brennan is here with vladimir duthier of our streaming network cbsn. cbs news poll out this morning shows most americans are worried that north korea's nuclear weapons program could lead to war. 72% say they're uneasy about a possible conflict. >> only 35% are confident in president trump's ability to handle the situation. the poll was taken over four days as the u.n. approved tough new sanctions on north korea. >> china accounts for more than 90% of north korean trade. trade between china and north korea is up more than 10% this year. ben tracy is in beijing with the american goal for these new sanctions. ben, good morning. >> good morning. it took more than a month for the u.s. to get china and russia to go along with the sanctions that they say will cost north korea more than a billion dollars each year. but the questions now are will china and russia actually enforce these sanctions and will they work. >> translator: north korea's most famous news anchor defia defiantly announced the north won't put its weapons on the negotiating table despite what it calls fabricated u.n. sanctions. building a nuclear weapon and missile program is not cheap. the u.n. sanctions banning major north korean exports such as coal and iron are designed to starve the regime of the money to pay for it. money that is also used to enrich the powerful elite and generals who in turn don't challenge kim jong-un's near total power. anthony rogerio is an expert on sanctions. >> they'll have to to make a choice. they won't be able to continue their programs and keep the elites and military happy. they'll have to start making choices they haven't had to choose before. >> when we visited north korea this spring, we saw kim jong-un unveil a massive new neighborhood of shimmering high-rises. his way of showing the world that eight previous rounds of u.n. sanctions over more than a decade did not work. but this time china says its will fully enforce the sanctions, which means cutting off a lot of the trade that happens here in the chinese border town of dandong. north korea's ability to keep funding its weapons program will likely come at the expense of its citizens, many of whom are already forced to work in other countries. they send their pay worth more than a billion dollars to the regime. the new sanctions won't end that or address t chinese companies and banks that continue to do business with north korea. >> it's good that we have a resolution, but the next step is making sure that all of these areas, all these loopholes, all the areas that have been called out are fixed one by one. >> another big thing these sanctions do not address is the oil that china exports to north korea. it's widely believed if china were to simply cut that off the north korean regime would eventually collapse. china has no interest in seeing that happen because they fear a refugee crisis of the roughly 800-mile-long border it shares with north korea. margaret? >> ben tracy in beijing, thank you. our poll also finds no real change in the

about the link between global warming and green house gas emissions is well-known. this report awaits white house release and the lack of comment from officials here and from those a at some of the

warming and -- a lot of it's a hoax. >> reporr. tte mmp has a history of challenging the science behind climate change including once suggesting, quote, the concept of global warming was created by

events. >> i don't believe that climate change is a hoax. >> reporter: scott pruitt of the environmental protection agency was force to admit during his confirmation hearing that he does not believe climate change is made up. since being confirmed by the senate he's questioned human involvement. >> i think measuring with precision human activity on the climate is very challenging to do. there is tremendous disagreement about the degree of impact. >> reporter: the report awaiting white house's approval states many lines of evidence demonstrate human activities, especially emissions of greenhouse gases, are primarily responsible for recent observed climate change. >> i was elected to represent the citizens of pittsburgh, not paris. >> reporter: in june, president trump pulled out of the paris climate accords, a global agreement aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions. the president said the decision was to protect american jobs and he promised to protect the environment. >> we're going to have the cleanest air, the cleanest water. we will be environmentally friendly, but we are not going to put our businesses out of work. >> reporter: when the president touts the biggest

>> bob newhart, still funny. i'm charlie rose with margaret brennan and vladimir duthiers. a poll finds president trump's rating at 36%, an historic low unchanged from two mons ago. >> the poll shows growing confidence in the economy. 69% of americans say the economy is good. that's the highest percentage in more than 15 years. >> president trump in the middle of his working vacation restarted an old argument yesterday with one of his critics in congress. connecticut senator richard blumenthal. major garrett is near the trump national golf club in bedminster. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. in one way president trump's vacation is no different than days at the white house campaigning because he does not get enough credit for economic growth, more jobs and a boost in consumer and business confidence. speaking of twitter it was there yesterday the president renewed a long-running feud with a democratic senator after watching him defend special counsel robert mueller. president trump began the day taking out his cable news frustration on twitter. >> this grand jury investigation -- >> reporter: after this tv appearance from democratic senator richard blumenthal. >> if the president threatens to fire robert mueller it's important to protect and safeguard the independence and integrity of the investigation. >> reporter: irritated by the senator's support for legislation that would protect special counsel robert mueller mr. trump tweeted interesting to watch senator richard blumenthal of connecticut talking about hoax russian collusion when he was a phony vietnam conartist. blumenthal was still on the president's mind later. i think senator blumenthal should take a nice long vacation in vietnam where he lied about his service so he can say they was there. in his senate campaign blumenthal apologized after saying he served in vietnam when he was in the marine reserves at the time but neverdeployed. mr. trump himselneveserved in the military. he received four deferments during vietnam to attend college and received a fifth for bone spurs in his heels. mr. trump's twitter out burst appears to be a departure from the discipline imposed by john kelly who had put in place a review process for presidential tweets. tweets which recently have been on message praised the u.n. security council sanctions and pushed positive economic news. a new cbs news poll shows 46% of americans now approve of the president's handling of the economy. on tap today the meeting with the president and his health & human services secretary tom price on the opioid crisis. later this week mike pence visits along with other cabinet officials. >> thank you. with us is anthony salvanto, director of elections and surveys for cbs news. good morning. >> how are you? >> i'm well. it sounds like president trump's belief may be correct that he feels he's not getting credit and your poll says americans feel good about the economic health of the country. >> yeah. we haven't seen numbers like this for the economy in 15 years. they're really that high. he is getting credit. the issue is it's not the only thing they are judging him on. they are judging him on more than just the economy. so you ask people how they are evaluating him. they say it's more important the kind of culture and values he promotes than what he does for the economy. what that tells you is both his supporters see that as a good thing. they love the culture and value. they think he's fighting for people like them. his detractors don't like that culture and values. so that's where their judgment is going even as the ratings of the economy soar. >> doesn't what people feel at the kitchen table matter more than anything else when they head to the voting boo? we are spinning ahead to 2018. >> right. there is a big difference between how the economy is generally doing and how they feel. individual confidence is up. it's not matching the overall economic numbers. a great example of that is the stock market. people say the stock market is doing better. but when you ask them does that matter to your life, less than half of people say that it does. that's because not everybody has money directly invested here. that's one metric that's good. they don't necessarily take home to the kitchen table. >> what's the most significant metric in terms of how a president is doing? >> well, right now it's partisanship in many ways. we have not seen in many years a president that's as split in this partisan divide where republicans give him very good numbers and democrats give him very bad numbers. the lines have just gone like this over the last couple of administrations. it was the same true in reverse for president obama. that speaks to the kind of tone of the politics today. >> within the policy debate in washington there is a division within the republicans. >> yes, there is. there is. >> we saw it on health care, for example. >> yes. his ratings on health care are much lower than ratings on the economy. some republicans feel frustrated they didn't pass anything but there are some including republicans who felt they should have had a replacement bill for the health care before they tried to repeal obamacare. that's the sort of wait and see approach as well. that's part of the reason for their frustration. >> you asked about north korea. what do americans think this is headed and how do they think the president is handling it? >> they are uneasy about the potential for conflict. they don't necessarily think the north koreans are purposefully going to aim a missile at us. they think it is more posturing than anything else. that doesn't lessen the unease about conflict. for president trump's handling of it only a third say they have confidence. that happens in an administration. until you see a president handle a crisis people project what they think about him already into those numbers. that said, there are a lot of ratings about the president handling this crisis and others that have been low. >> great to see you. one quick question, with respect to the handling of north korea do they consider it a crisis now? most people who talk about the president say he's not yet faced a genuine international crisis. >> they see it as a threat. that's how they define it, but one that can be contained by diplomacy. >> thank you. >> curbing the mosquito population could produce more mosquitos. only on "cbs this morning" mireya villarreal takes us inside the high tech lab that's spreading the pests. >> reporter: this is a larval-rearing robot and this machine is one of a kind. it will produce 20 million mosquitos. it could be the key to wiping out dengue fever, the zika virus, and other deadly disease s. we'll show you how coming up on "cbs this morning." >> first it's 8:08. the founder of the blackwater security form has a radically different approach to america's longest running war. ahead, erik prince explains why he believes getting private contractors involved could turn the war around and save billions of dollars. you're watching "cbs this morning." pampers. unlike ordinary diapers with two layers, pampers have three absorbent layers to stay up to three times drier, so babies can sleep soundly all night. wishing you love, sleep and play. pampers. but prevagen helps your brain with an ingredient originally discovered... in jellyfish. in clinical trials, prevagen has been shown to improve short-term memory. prevagen. thme to remember. you brush your teeth diligently... two times a day right?

>> a super envoy, a presidential envoy, a lead federal official. we haven't had any unity of command for 17 years. the u.s. is not doing any training or mentoring at the battalion level where the rubber meets the road. this plan, as i lay out, puts contracted people attaching them to the afghan army for the long-term at the battalion living with and training with the contract people. >> boots on the ground?

>> look, contractors are there in a big way now. this is is a slight alteration of how they would be used. >> into combat-like situations. >> sure. it's not a private army. they're attaching to the afghan army. imagine a skeletal support. what the u.s. -- i'm sorry the afghan special forces are functional. they do well. they conduct 05 70 or 80% of the missions. they are mentored in this way by u.s. special forces. the problem is the u.s. army doesn't have enough sergeants. they can't send 4,000 sergeants and above to go do this mission. >> what was the strategy to help the afghans fight the war themselves? that's been the strategy for 15 years. it's the longest war in american history. >> and this completes that strategy. when u.s. forces go there, they go there for six or nine month bhps they leave, all that area knowledge and experience leaves with them. this model allows contractors to go in. >> that's what the afghans they should have it. that's the point. >> i agree. but putting mentors in at the battalion level allows them to attach and to know that area, and to know that valley, to know the local government officials in that area. that gives you multiyear continuity. because when a u.s. guy goes in he goes in for nine months and leaves and the local knowledge leaves with him. >> this has been a long drawn out process for the trump administration. they're struggling with ts strategy. steve bannon, jared kushner said to be supportive of your idea. do you know what the president thinks? >> i don't. i haven't briefed him on it yet. >> do you plan to? >> i hope to. look, there's still americans dying there. i think, like i said, any american wants to figure out to cauterize this wound. 16 years is enough. we have another trillion dollars in health care costs we're going to owe for the afghan war. let's bring it to a close. people might not like the idea of using contractors for that. let's get used to that idea. it's better than having american soldiers there endlessly. are we going to having this conversation in another ten years? >> i have a question about your firm global security services. could that company be involved? wouldn't it present a conflict of interest? >> look, if it comes to a bid or whatever, if someone is able to come up with a solution that saves the taxpayers $40 billion, i think anyone should compete and do that. >> profiting from the war?
