alleged rape. courtroom cameras do not show her on the stand to protect her identity. she admitted she helped labrie remove some of her clothing and also laughed at times during their encounter because she was nervous and afraid. >> could it be fair to say he couldn't know that you were uncomfortable because you were laughing? >> no. >> that's not fair to say? >> that is not fair to say, no. >> you're sure about that. right now. >> reporter: carney asked why her account to police days after the incident was, quote, cloudy. >> well, why were you cloudy? >> reporter: she paused to answer seeking the words and then suddenly burst into tears. >> i was raped. i was violated in so many ways. of course, i was traumatized. >> reporter: the trial has cast appall over the yuou elite st. paul

resuming monday and owen labrie is expected to testify. his attorney says on wednesday, charlie. >> anna, thanks. cbs news legal except rikki klieman has prosecuted sexual cases and defended rape suspects in court. good morning. >> good morning. >> give us a sense how you think this defense attorney and what he is doing. >> first of all you have to understand here jay carney is one of the better defense attorneys in the country. it's all about the opening statements. you never get a second chance to make a first impression. jay carney made an opening statement that was powerful and dignified. so did the jury decide in his opening that he is the arbiter of trust? he is the carrier of truth. if they decided that in the opening, then he is entitled to be harsh with her, difficult with her, and in many ways to make her cry because he believes she is lying. however, if in that opening statement the jurors decide that he is not the trustworthy one, that the government is trustworthy, then they will resent him for his cross-examination of her. >> how could a juror not be moved by this young woman's testimony? >> i mean it was painful listening to that. >> it is very painful listening to that. so we are not in that courtroom and even with the camera in court, you can't really absorb the visceral reaction. these jurors are either going to believe her or not. and in this case, we get another added factor. jay carney says his client is going to testify. so then the jury gets to decide do they believe him or not. now, this young woman has either been a true rape victim who was totally traumatized by something she could not control and therefore eventually made a complaint. and i do say eventually. it takes her five days go to the police. and it's only after their sexual encounter has been posted by someone else on social media. but she's either a true victim or she looks like she's coached and rehearsed. only the jury can make that determination determination. >> what does its look like to you? >> i can't answer that, charlie, because i'm not watching her. she takes advantage if you think she is lying of the situation of being able to emote. or your heart goes out to her and you say this is terrible. now, how do we tell the truth? we learn to tell the truth in these cases by the other evidence in the case. there are a slew of e-mail exchanges between these two people, and you have very friendly e-mail exchanges. he calls her a gem. she answers back, well, basically, you are too. these are e-mails after the encounter. there are e-mails before the encounter. she admits in her own testimony that she didn't really want to disappoint him. she didn't want to feel embarrassed. she didn't want to feel inexperienced. so, you know, this is a real test in the end for do they believe him or her. >> rikki klieman, thank you very much. topless women could be dragging times square to the bottom. up next, will part of the world-famous tourist spot be ripped up? and if you're heading to work, set your dvr so you can watch "cbs this morning" any time. we'll be right back. with the pain and swelling of my moderate to severe rheumatoid

new york in times square. it was originally for breast-feeds mothers and artists exercising their freedom of religion but some say these topless women have taken their protection too far. they call themselves spanish for naked and they practically are. with children nearby they strip down to bikini bottoms and use paint and fetters. the chief of the police department james o'neill says they're a nuisance because they cause congestion as they stroll the streets smiling for the cameras. >> they want to be in a safe place and not be accosted. they want to enjoy their team in new york city. >> he says it reminded him of times square's seedy past when this area was known for peep shows, prostitutes and drug pushers. do you guys have some fear that this kind of activity could take times square out of that family-friendly destination it's become. >> times square 1983 is certainly not the place it is in 2015. it's a far safer place right now. we're not returning to those days. >> i believe there's going to be a little bit of interest in times square. >> reporter: mayor de blasio set up a task force to rein them in. one way is ripping up the pedestrian plaza. >> a lot of people are uncomfortable with it and i understand why. in a commonsense level this is not appropriate in public square. >> but it can be trickiness because toplessness is a constitutional right in new york state. >> to the extent that new york can legitimately outlaw the harassment with whatever message these women might be conveying. i think they can do that and not have any constitutional problem. many visitors to times square already home to the naked cowboy seem unfazed. >> i like the naked cowboy. >> some things are best private. >> it does not bother me, the naked body. it's not bad. >> even in sometime square women in g victims are still allowed for now. >> reporter: these signs are a reminder to pedestrians that they don't have to tip these people. right now they say they're

>> toplessness is legal in new york including right here in new york. >> it's quite a conundrum. i don't know what you do about it. it's totally legal. >> nice place to visit but another reason why i typically avoid it. >> make sure to check out next summer's blockbuster "the avengers versus 14 cats that look like hitler." >> i'm charlie rose with clarissa ward and jeff glor of our cbs digital network cbsn. norah and gayle are off. this morning a fifth town has been evacuated. nearly 29,000 firefighters are involved in the battle. some of the most dangerous fires are in washington state. >> high winds have made fighting the fires more challenging. temperatures today will top 90 degrees. firefighters paused yesterday to honor the lives of three men killed battling the flames near the washington town of twisp. former president jimmy carter's cancer treatment is under way. this morning he calls his battle against melanoma in his brain a new adventure. >> i've had a wonderful life. i've had thousands of friends. and i've had an exciting adventurous and gratifying existence, so i was surprisingly at ease, much more so than my wife was. >> mr. carter's wife roslyn attended his news conference thursday. he also focused on a dark moment during his presidency. >> i wish i would have sent an extra helicopter. >> his treatment includes radiation and a drug approved just last year. we learn thad two female army rangers are tougher than some of the men they trained with. they'll be graduateing in a few hours. one of their instructors said they do not quit and they do not complain. david martin is outside this morning. good morning. >> good morning. two women will be wearing a rangers tag showing they completed the army's most difficult course. over the past decade 77,000 men have made it through ranger school and now two women have proven they can do it too. >> we can deal with the same stresses and training that the men can. >> first of all congratulations to all of you but i'd like to ask the two women how does it feel to be the first. >> graduating with these guys next to me and the 90 plus other ranger students that will graduate tomorrow will probably be one of the highlights of my life. >> reporter: the six who joined them admitted they had been skeptical at first but the women proved themselves in the field. >> these two females have shown themselves that they can serve by my side at any time because i know i can trust them and i hope that they can trust me. >> in fact, one male ranger said he couldn't have made it if shaye haver hadn't helped him carry some of his gear. >> shaye was the only one who saved me. i probably wouldn't be sitting here if it wasn't for shaye. >> he couldn't get anyone to help carry a heavy weapon until griest stepped forward. >> nine guys said they were too broken and tired. she just as broken and tired took it from me almost with excitement. i thought she was crazy for that but i thought she was motivated. >> stories like that gave a line to say standards must have been lowered. >> no women i know would want to go to ranger school if they changed the standards. >> reporter: one woman, a mother of two, is still going through the course, and more are expected to start in november. clarissa?

i mean these are subliminal messages or overt messages in the book, right? >> it's actually -- i have to admit. i thought it was fascinating the way the psychologist put together. there's lots of books that you read to your kids. there are books that are instructional, but this psychologist did several things. as you're suggesting he used variations in tone and also boning those words yo sew you could pick them out that allows the brain to receive information differently and so change is learning. >> because when i'm reading with my son right now who's learning how to read, i'm having him picking out certain words. >> is this the 2-month-old or 5-year-old. >> i wish it were the 2-year-old. she's rolling over. she's not quite reading yet. it's interesting the words you choose to focus on. >> another thing he did is encourages the parents to onwith the child. we know yawning signals sleepiness sleepiness. yawning -- it's the part of the brain that's associated with empathy. you're creating an emotional connection with your child. sleep is such an important part of what we need to be doing for our health and promoting health. >> tell me about it. >> are you saying is it like hypnosis -- says the man who no longer is getting any sleep. is it hypnosis? >> that's usually a state in which you can suggest them to do certain things and change their behaviors but this is really more hypnotic. that is it allows the natural process of sleep to occur in the way that it's suggestive. i wouldn't say it's a form of hypnosis, per se, but i think it's a really, really new way of putting these things together. they also include relaxation therapy which is proven by evidence-based medicine which is a tool to help people fall asleep. >> what is that? >> start with the toes and relax those muscles and gradually relax those muscles. people don't realize how the brain is receiving that information and that tone if it's tense can actually stop you from drifting. >> at what age should you smart doing it? >> you know, it's never too early because once behaviors are formed they're hard to change and we know that much of the debate about health care can be prevented. >> you're not a fan, quickly of ooe ooe ereaders. >> that light can inhibit that. are sown cards a sound business decision. don dahler is in new york city. >> some of the eateries is trying to cut tlau some of the noise by creating some of their own. we'll put it to the test and why one prominent food critic is giving them an earful. that's coming up on "cbs this morning." >> announcer: cbs "morning rounds" sponsored by finish. switch and see the difference.it's what you buy if you're a smart shopper. then, why are we buying cascade instead of finish?

music to his ears. >> restaurants are an opportunity for me to pay, create music. >> reporter: he prides himself on creating the perfect atmosphere. >> if i can look and see somebody bobbing their head to a song that's playing while we're serving them an incredible salmon tartar with a sweet cord bredetto, yeah, that's really cool to me. >> reporter: crowds are flowing at a restaurant for a good meal and a hip environment. the one thing they might not be able to enjoy is conversation. >> we've got 45 people in a room with 600 square feet. >> reporter: even if you had a dinner party at home and that many people at the dinner table it would be loud. >> hell, yeah. i've never had 34 people in my home for a dinner party and if i did, i'm sure my neighbor would complain. >> reporter: the idea is to create a party atmosphere in a lot of these places. >> reporter: restaurant critic adam platt has reluctantly listened to this transition over his 15-year career with "new york" magazine. >> the fancy old-fashioned fancy restaurant with a hushed sort of darkened little parlor, now it's really the exact opposite. the siren. the noise attracts people like, you know, moths to a flame. >> reporter: here's a thought. if you can hear the restaurant from the street, the people inside are having a good time. but for platt who works in these environments, it's becoming an occupational hazard. >> i already have hearing loss. >> do you feel like sometimes you need some earplugs to go do your job? >> even the chefs are a little astonished. >> reporter: so what caused this noise resolution. about a decade ago, platt says, kitchen culture charged into the dining room. bars became larger and place for people to congregate and as rents increased restaurants removed the thrills, stripping away objects that absorbed sound because they were expensive to clean. results -- >> there are no rub rugs, no tabling cloths, wood. we're essentially in an elaborate noise box. >> reporter: in a relatively unscientific way we tested it out using a decibel app on our smartphone. the decibel was anywhere from the mid 80s into the mid 90s, a jackhammer pounding away. owners say they're simply giving people what they want and despite the possibility of hearing loss, americans agree. dining out more than ever, breaking through the white noise to still connect. >> you can't come to a restaurant and be alone. this is something that brings people together and it's something that continues to encourage social interaction, and i love that. >> reporter: of course, it's going to surprise no one to know anger over loud restaurants breaks down along generational lines. there are quite a few older people who pine for the days of the murmuring conversation and table cloths but a lot of young people would probably think that's the most boring dinner ever. clarissa. >> you travel around the world. you lived london. is it true in those cities as well? >> it's true. clearly i'm an old fogey. i find it incredibly distracting if you can't have a conversation. >> and how close they sit together. i enjoy sitting around a round table. are we going to get the salmon tartar with the corn in the green room? >> as soon as we get the music. >> thank you so much, don dahler. bosses are finding new ways to track your ever move. will it make you more productive or paranoid? that's ahead after your local news. good morning. it is 8:25 on this friday, august 2 1st. we begin with a commuter alert. the rain is causing some problems on the roads. and we have an update. >> good morning. the northern state parkway is closed in both directions. due to flooding at route 106 and 107. and eastbound traffic is stopped back tall way to post avenue. you will want to stick with the l.i.e. as an alternate. the rain has stopped there. but it's the problem that you see with 2 to 3 inches earlier in the morning. and look at more blue over the city and north and west, that's the case as well. 72 degrees in the park. winds are calm. and humidity at 84%. and where is the rain? well, it's still a good soaking rain for parts of eastern suffolk county. but notice colors are brighter and lighter and that means good news. good news for fairfield county. much better north and west as well. we have the left over drops east of the city this morning. and notice that cooler air already starting to filter in. and bouncing back and recover nicely, low to mid-80s around the area. and part of a cold front pushed through. and tomorrow looks good, mainly dry for saturday. and we will leave the chance for a left over shower back in play on your sunday. but things are shaping up. >> thank you. now to a developing story where a woman was killed this morning after being ejected from a moving vehicle driven by her husband. police identified the the victim as a 29-year-old. she was a backseat passenger in the vehicle. but her door wasn't fully closed. and on making a turn, she was ejected and hit the pavement and later dying of injuries. her husband may have been drinking before the accident. three construction wars were injured, one critically in a gas line explosion at a bronx high school. it happened last night at john f. kennedy high in marble hill. the blast shook buildings and frightened the neighborhood and some people thought it was a terrorist attack. and relief in bronx this morning. the disease outbreak is now over. the health department has identified the cooler tower at the opera house hotel as the source of the outbreak. cooling towers can serve as breeding grounds for the bacteria. this week, the city passed new regulations for inspecting the towers. the outbreak was the worst in the history. it claimed 12 lives and sickened more than 120 people since early july in the south bronx. and we are back with another local update in about 25 minutes. "cbs this morning" returns in just a moment. hope you have a great day. welcome back to "cbs this morning." coming up this half hour, if you think your boss is looking over your shoulder now, just wait. digital expert nick thompson is in our toyota green room. there he is. they're taking the next step in tracking your work day from the moment you walk in the door. plus, surrounded by "star wars." the describe five legend is leaping off the big screen and you can be right in the middle of it, but only if you know where to look. we'll help you use the force, ha, ha, ha. that's ahead. right now it's time to show you headlines from around the globe. "the new york times" has an update on worker abuse at nail salons. state investigators conducting sweeps still find violations. they range from health and safety issues to underpaying workers. one group of investigators in new york issued 124 violations since may. michigan's "tribune" reported on two girls pulled from the lake yesterday after people saw them struggling. one was not breathing. she was taken to the hospital where her condition improved to stable. a red flag indicating dangerous swimming conditions was flying at the beach. "usa today" reports on worker satisfaction among tech workers. they report a big salary but they're not happier. only 19% said they were very happy at work and only 36% saw an opportunity for professional growth. time records on letting jon stewart host a presidential debate. his fans launched a petition. they want the commissioned unpresidential debates to consider letting stewart moderate a debate. the petition has more than 104,000 signatures. it's the stage name of 15-year-old brady olsen. he's a farm boy reportedly from iowa. nonscientific poll numbers from several states show the independent candidate showed he received 10% of the vote. that's a potential matchup with donald trump and hillary clinton. and britain's "guardian" reports on a sky-high swimming pool. it will be 100 feet in the air built between 2 apartment buildings. it will be transparent. he is introducing us to dizmo land, a so called amusement park in england. they see a decrepit castle, refugees on a boat and a woman bombarded by seagulls. he said he is not taking a jab at disney. maybe not the first place to visit. some companies this morning are starting to monitor their employees more closely than ever. a recent new yorkxarticle highlights your performance to be tracked in real time. cbs news contributor nicholas thompson is editor of the "new york" magazine. nick, good morning. this kind of gives me the heeby explain the technology. >> what companies are doing is tracking their employees when they come in, when they leave, when that i take breaks. that's the most basic level. they're also tracking them on their apps on their phone. when they're in sales that can be helpful, for other people it can be creepy. some are tracking their browser, every stroke as they type it in and others are having realtime feedback on their employees. for example at amazon if you want to say something about your employee either praise or criticism you can immediately do that. it's constant monitoring all the time. >> the tracking is mostly through the phone. i mean they're not putting a chip behind my ear, right? >> it's through your phone and employee badge. but in due course once the technology exists it will be used. >> nick, what do you think is okay and what's too far? >> i think roy's okay is trying to improve efficiency and improve your employees and set goals and have your employees meet them and not go beyond the boundaries of which your employees are comfortable, right? if you do things they don't know about, that probably crosses the line. if you do things that depress morale, that's bad for you. clearly there can be benefits for a company, for an organization to do this in a certain degree. make sure you do it in the right moderation. >> there's nothing wrong with findinging out if somebody's in a building. >> why not just call them. >> if they're not answering. >> it's a lot simpler. you can say, wait, this project took longer than expected. why did it take longer than expected. oh, because all of these people working on it were coming in early, leavingarily and taking breaks or playing fantasy football. that's the advantage. the real disadvantage and i don't think they've changed it is what's changed in the economy is machines taking over jobs and what humans can do best is think creatively, think outside of the box, things that robots can't do that. to do that you need space and flexibility. so there are companies going in the other direction like netflix says you can take whatever vacation you want whenever you want. policies. daydreaming. what you try to do if you're a boss is have certain restrictions and a limit amount of monitoring but also let >> yeah. give them space. >> is it working? what are the results for these companies? >> i think a lot of bosses would say it's working great, you know, we've improved our productivity, we're getting more widgets built in a shorter amount of time. on the other hand, places where this is used can lead to unhappiness, so managers may not know this. so it's complicated. it's mixed. i can't give you a straight answer on that, but it's a fascinating, fascinating change. >> if you allow one employee to comment on another, should the person commented on have an opportunity to respond? >> the issue there is you won't get as honest feedback if you allow that to happen. if somebody knows there has been a comment put and it's come from this meetinging they can track it back. that's up to the company. i think realtime commenting creates internal competition and sniping. >> and when does it stop. thank you. ahead, charlie d'agata takes us to a galaxy not so far away. >> reporter: there's a good reason i'm dressed as hans solo because just like everybody else here, i'm part of a set. this is secret cinema. a movie experience with a difference. we'll reveal almost all coming up on "cbs this morning." well, nay farce be with you. the force in nature that we have been dealing with right along this cold front. and now cold more in name than anything else but it's serving to you beer in lower dew points and brighter skies north and west. and still dealing with showers off to the east. and they are going to continue for the next hour or so. better by lunchtime for all. 84 later today. saturday, the better of the two weekend days. and shower chance sunday. caring about the things that make each of our clients unique... ...that's what makes riverspring health unique. leave early go roam sleep in sleep out star gaze dream big wander more care less beat sunrise chase sunset do it all. on us. what do a nascar driver... a comedian... and a professional golfer have in common? we talked to our doctors about treatment with xarelto . xarelto is proven to treat and help reduce the risk of dvt and pe blood clots. xarelto has also been proven to reduce the risk of stroke in people with afib, not caused by a heart valve problem. for people with afib currently well managed on warfarin, there is limited information on how xarelto and warfarin compare in reducing the risk of stroke. i tried warfarin before, but the blood testing routine and dietary restrictions had me off my game. not this time. not with xarelto . i'll have another arnold palmer. make mine a kevin nealon. really, brian? hey, safety first. like all blood thinners, don't stop taking xarelto without talking to your doctor, as this may increase your risk of a blood clot or stroke. while taking, you may bruise more easily and it may take longer for bleeding to stop. xarelto may increase your risk of bleeding if you take certain medicines. xarelto can cause serious, and in rare cases, fatal bleeding. get help right away for unexpected bleeding, unusual bruising, or tingling. if you have had spinal anesthesia while on xarelto , watch for back pain or any nerve or muscle related signs or symptoms. do not take xarelto if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. tell your doctor before all planned medical or dental procedures. before starting xarelto , tell your doctor about any kidney, liver, or bleeding problems. xarelto has been prescribed more than 11 million times in the u.s. and that number's growing. like your guys' scores. with xarelto there is no regular blood monitoring, and no known dietary restrictions. treatment with xarelto was the right move for us. ask your doctor about xarelto . i've been waiting for you. we meet again at least. our sickle is now complete. when i left i was the learner. now i am the master. >> only a master of evil. the light saber battle is one of the most famous screenenes from "star wars." they can't wait for the next movie. but they can relive the story in in london. >> okay. you're clean. turnaround. the alliance?
