It is our eighth birthday. Welcome to cbs this morning. We begin with this. No birthday talk. This is all very serious news. Iranian media reporting new high level talk of partial revenge after President Trump dismissed irans missile attacks on u. S. Troops in iraq. The president indicated yesterday that he plans no military response. A statement intended to lower tensions in the region. To the people and leaders of iran, we want you to have a future and a great future, one that you deserve. One of prosperity at home and harmony with the nations of the world. The United States is ready to embrace peace with all who seek it. In Washington House Speaker Nancy Pelosi plans a vote today on a move by democrats to block the president from taking military action against iran on his own. On twitter he called for House Republicans to vote no. And two republican senators are complaining bitterly you could say over the administrations efforts to justify the attack that killed a top iranian general last week. Paula reed is at the white house for us. Why are they so angry. Reporter good morning. They talked about the justification for the strikes and it did not go well. One said it prompted him to align with democrats to limit the president s war powers. Today, the white house is under fire for lack of transparency in terms of strategy on iran. I believe we are safer today than before President Trump ordered our military to take out Qassem Soleimani. Reporter in last nights interview on the cbs evening news with norah odonnell, Vice President mike pence showed no regrets over the killing of iranian general Qassem Soleimani. What the president did was restore the credibility of our military deterrence. Reporter after Administration Officials briefed lawmakers on iran wednesday one Ardent Supporter emerged furious with the administrations approach. It is probably the worst briefing i have seen at least on a military issue in the nine years i served in the United States senate. Reporter utah senator mike lee said officials tried to quash any debate over the strike. One of the messages we received from the briefers was do not debate. Do not discuss the issue of the appropriateness of further military intervention against iran. Reporter secretary of state mike pompeo who was one of the officials briefing lawmakers did not take questions from reporters after the meeting. Mr. Secretary mr. Secretary thats what they did to us as well. Reporter after returning to the pentagon, mark esper defended the administrations efforts off camera. Very good discussion. Robust discussion. Reporter lee said the discussion convinced him to support a resolution to limit the administrations ability to take further military action against iran without congressional approval. That may not have too much of an impact on the president. Speaking from the white house wednesday, he signaled that for now hell respond to iran with sanctions not strikes. These powerful sanctions will remain until iran changes its behavior. Reporter cbs news learned senator lee was just one of the lawmakers not able to get in a question during this briefing which lasted over an hour but Administration Officials promise to return and answer additional questions. Paula, thank you. Lets bring in our chief washington correspondent Major Garrett. Was the Trump Administration surprised by the anger from mike lee and rand paul . Reporter sure it was but it left the response to one of the more ardent defenders in the senate, lindsey graham. Rand paul called that a gutter response that insults the constitution. And uses a fake drape of patriotism. This kind of intramural fighting among republicans is clearly going to fuel the debate later on the house floor about war powers resolution to limit his actions in iran. They say when that debate comes to the senate, theyll side with democrats. The white house has an unexpected problem on its hands. The president falsely claimed the Obama Administration funded irans missiles because of the Iran Nuclear Deal. What is the reality there . If you want to do a deep dive on this go to Washington Post. Glen kessler, the Washington Post fact checker has a deep dive on it. A few things. This Ballistic Missile was short range meaning it was old. The Iran Nuclear Deal provided funds that could have been used for long range Ballistic Missile. Not the same technology. The president uses two figures. From the Iran Nuclear Deal, both are exaggerated. One wildly exaggerated. One slightly exaggerated. Thats not my contention. Thats Trump Treasury Department number contentions. In the main the accusation, inflammatory, reckless, false. Theres a big rally in ohio tonight that the president is holding. What do you expect considering all thats going on in washington and iran. The president will assert this was a decisive move, that Qassem Soleimani was a bad actor, long overdue. I anticipate the crowd will be enthusiastic. The simple truth is this is something thats being evaluated in a political context. Theres no evidence the pentagon, the administration or Anyone Around the president cited this was a political maneuver. This was a National Security step. You cant take the politics away from it and everything that flows from this decision will be viewed politically. If it works for the president it will be a plus. If bad things happen that havent happened so far hell own each and every one of those consequences. Doesnt appear it is over. Thank you very much, major. An iran news agent quotes the revolutionary guard of further revenge. The general chosen to replace Qassem Soleimani said this morning that he, too, will follow in the same path. Elisabeth palmer is in tehran with more. That sounds ominous but what does that mean, exactly . Reporter good morning. Well hes saying the goal hasnt changed that Iranian Forces will fight on to sooner or later make american troops leave the region. But the headline here in tehran in the immediate term is that the American Military is not planning another strike. In the first real snowfall of the winter, tehran is going about their business were feeling safer. We were afraid that there was going to be a war. Reporter like millions listened to President Trumps speech very closely. Were you relieved when he said there would not be another american attack . Yes. I sleep very well. Very well. The fact we have this great military equipment, however, does not mean we have to use it. We do not want to use it. Reporter on iranian tv americas decision not to strike back was framed as a climb down by the u. S. And a win for irans revolutionary guards who showcased their missile arsenal. One commander promised iran would take harsher revenge soon. The killing of Qassem Soleimani brought millions into the streets in scenes like these in a show of unity. But the mourning masses dont tell the whole story. Just a few weeks ago thousands of demonstrators showed their fury and frustration with a government they criticized for corruption. And ineptitude. But the mood has changed completely and those voices of dissent have fallen silent at least for now. Thank you very much. Iranian Authorities Say the crew of a ukrainian airliner that crashed in tehran never called for help. According to an early crash report Officials Say the plane was trying to turn back when it went down leaving a trail of debris in a field on the outskirts of the city. But a series of holes like this one in a wing are leading some to question the idea that the plane had mechanical difficulties. Kris van cleave is following all of this for us. Good morning. Those holes certainly raise a lot of questions. Reporter good morning. There are a lot of questions. One of the real challenges is iranian government statements have to be treated with skepticism. A team of investigators are on the ground, looking for any evidence, a missile, antiaircraft. It does appear the plane was on fire as it came down. Our hearts go out to all the families. Reporter mourners gathered last night to remember the 63 canadian victims on Ukraine International Airlines Flight 752 after Prime Minister Justin Trudeau vowed to find out what happened. Canadians will be asking for answers and were there to support and find out the truth. Reporter the plane was only in the air for a few minutes before disaster struck. The boeing 737s data was in a seemingly normal takeoff. This was hours after iran fired rockets into iraq. Canadian transport minister. We lost contact with it, suggesting that something very unusual happened. Reporter holes in some wreckage at the crash site drew comparisons to the malaysia crash a few years ago. Can you say categorically that the plane wasnt shot down . I cannot. It is too early to speculate. Reporter iranians say they recovered the black boxes but damaged and may be missing some data. The country says it wont give the u. S. Or boeing access. Former ntsb chairman you cant squash speculation except with the truth. The only way youll have the truth here is have a thorough and fair investigation. Reporter 176 on board the three and a halfyearold airline include a newlywed couple, several children and students returning to universities after break. Among them a student, professors described her as an exceptional student. And environmental leader. Just the thought of one of our students dying in such a tragic circumstances is horrifying. Reporter this is 737, but it was not one of the grounded max airplanes. It has an excellent safety history. This particular aircraft went through a maintenance check days before the crash. The airline has a solid safety and maintenance record. The iranians are running this investigation that comes during very intense times between iran and the west and thats another challenge. Only on cbs this morning our lead National Correspondent David Begnaud was allowed inside a crucial power plant in puerto rico that was severely damaged by this weeks earthquakes. The power situation on the island is critical following a 6. 4 magnitude earthquake tuesday. 600,000 customers do have power at the moment but around 900,000 people, about a third of the population are still in the dark. David begnaud is live outside the plant along the southern coast. How did you manage to get inside . Reporter anthony, we came an sat outside of the plant for four and a half hours waiting for the head of the Power Authority to leave. As he drove out i asked for an interview. He said yes. When the interview was over i asked to go inside and see the damage. He said yes to both. It was important because the people of puerto rico do not trust the folks who run the Power Authority. That is the truth. Youre not only about to see the damage and hear what they told us. Youll hear two different stories between the man who runs the Power Authority and the one who runs the plant. Theyre in disagreement when theyre getting the plant up and running. Translator most of the structure is compromised. Reporter our guide was Operations Manager here. He showed us the damage. Starting with these tanks which are used to clean water. It is, he says, the first step in the Energy Generation process. You can see this tank just knocked over and it did it all the way down the line . Yes, sir. Again, without this, you cant provide power. We cannot even think to provide power. Reporter from here perez says the water is sent to larger tanks which have also been damaged. With a fracture in the middle. Reporter just this morning we were invited back inside the plant. They wanted to show us the control room. You can see the damage inside. Its not safe for people to work here. They gave us photos of a damaged turbine. The reality is with it not generating any Energy Hundreds of thousands of people will be without power. Whats the reality . Do you think people will have to get used to having power maybe half the day and not having it the other half . Were going to work 24 hours around the clock. I hear you. A lot of people are happy to hear that. Be as realistic with me as possible. No less than a month. Reporter compare to what the head of puerto ricos electrical Power Authority says. It will be out for probably over a year. How much of this is earthquake related or how much is it just old equipment that hasnt been cared for and updated . Its both. To be honest those plants were over 60 years. Imagine having a taxi 60 years old and youre required to run that 24 7. Thats the kind of business were running. Reporter when folks here in puerto rico heard jose ortiz say it could take a year there was a trending hash tag on twitter, people calling for him to resign. This is what he told me. They are asking fema to bring in a 500 megawatt generator to get this place up and running. When fema heard him say that they reached out to me and said we have not agreed to do that and cannot do that under the current emergency declaration. They need a major emergency declaration. The governor has not requested it and the president has not signed it. You are standing outside and you asked to come in. Reporter this morning, they said come back in, we want to show you more. We wanted people on the island to see what the damage is. David begnaud, thank you. Great reporting. Interesting when the guy says well be working 24 hours around the clock. And we dont see anybody working. Theres more to that good morning. After a windy start to the day as we head through the afternoon we have afternoon sunshine.

The royal family is reeling from an extraordinary relative involving prince harry and Meghan Markle. The royal couple is stepping down as senior members of the family and split their time between the uk and north america. One british tabloid called it megxit. It doesnt seem like the royal family is very happy with the couples decision, to put it mildly. Reporter no, gayle. Pick a reaction. Disappointed, hurt, angry, incandescent, all those words have been used to describe the royal familys reaction to meghan and harrys statement. Not necessarily what they did, how they did it. Meghan and harry had been unhappy and now everybody is. They had been discussing how to distance themselves from the royal whirlwind and without clearing it with the reaches of the upper food chain, particularly the queen. We intend to step back as senior members of the royal family their statement said. We now plan to balance our time between the United Kingdom and north america. The palace countered. Discussions are at an early stage, the royal family said. These are complicated issues, code for, not so fast, kids. This is not how we do things around here. For meghan and harry it was like a declaration of independence. They were just back in london after a carefree holiday escape in canada, family time with son, archie, away from the palace Pressure Cooker and went to the embassy to say thanks. Its an incredible time we were able to have here. Reporter and they wanted more. Its been a stormy time for the couple since that sunny wedding day months ago. Meghan may have been a tv star used to the public glare but as her friends warned her, nothing prepared an american, especially one with a biracial background, for the kind of scrutiny she would endure. My british friends said to me, im sure hes great but you shouldnt do it because the british tabloids will destroy your life. Reporter harry, who has lived through his mother, Princess Dianas battles with the tabloid press, became increasingly defensive. I always protect my family and now i have a family to protect. Reporter its been described by royal watchers as a palace civil war. I think their going their own way on it have perhaps caused an irreparable relative between them and the queen. Reporter it hasnt taken long from the royal meghan becoming a breath of fresh air to a royal storm that threatens to take the roof of. From brexit to megxit.

Ive been a nurse in new york for thirty years. I know the difference leadership can make because i saw what Mike Bloomberg did as mayor. Vo mayor bloomberg helped lower the number of uninsured by 40 , covering 700,000 more new yorkers, Life Expectancy increased. He helped expand Health Coverage to 200,000 more kids and upgraded pediatric care infant mortality rates dropped to record lows. And as mayor, Mike Bloomberg always championed Reproductive Health for women. So when you hear Mike Bloomberg on health care. Mrb this is america. We can certainly afford to make sure that everybody that needs to see a doctor can see a doctor, everybody that needs medicines to stay healthy can get those medicines. Nurse you should know, he did it as mayor, hell get it done as president. Mrb im Mike Bloomberg and i approve this message. Good morning to you. Our viewers in the west. Its thursday, january 9th, 2020. Happy birthday to us. We turn 8 today. 8 years old happy birthday. Back in the yellow dress. Welcome back to cbs this morning. Im gayle king in the yellow dress. Ahead President Trump talks peace toward iran while democrats move to restrict his war power. Im tony dokoupil. Hear the story behind prince harry and meghans sudden announcement theyre pulling away from royal life. See how a hair salon helps white parents and their black children in our series a more Perfect Union. Cant wait. Here is todays eye opener at 8 00. Iranian media reporting new talk of harsher revenge after President Trump dismissed irans missile attacks on u. S. Troops. They discussed the justification for these strikes. This fighting among republicans is clearly going to fuel a debate on the house floor about a war powers resolution. The headline here in tehran is the American Military is not planning another strike. Ukrainian investigators are looking for any evidence a missile or antiaircraft fire struck flight 752. When folks in puerto rico heard jose ortiz say it could take a year to get it back up and running people were calling for him to resign. Angry, those words used to describe the royal familys reaction to meghan and harrys announcement. Prince harry and Meghan Markle the duke and duchess of sussex have released a statement saying we intend to step back as senior members of the royal family. There are senior levels of royal . They got levels to this thing. I thought it went king, queen, prince, princess, jack of spades. Boy wizard. Dukes of hazard. Then cartoon mouse that sews cinderellas dress. This mornings eye opener presented by toyota. Lets go places. Id be down with the duke of hazard. Those daisy duke shorts. Oh, my. Welcome back to cbs this morning. State tv in iran says the Senior Commander is threatening a series of attacks against america in the middle east. This comes as Congress Threatens to limit the president s war powers. The house is expected to vote today on a resolution that would limit further military action that President Trump could take against iran unless congress approves. Democrats in the senate are putting forth a similar measure. Top Administration Officials briefed lawmakers yesterday on the justification for the u. S. Strike that killed general soleimani. Republican senator mike lee a longtime supporter of the president said it was the worst military briefing hes ever had. He is now siding with democrats on the resolution after briefing after briefers told senators they should not question the military action. It doesnt matter whether you are republican, democrat, liberal, conservative, or something else. You should care about how we get into war and you shouldnt want us getting into war with only one branch acting. The president announced new sanctions on iran yesterday foregoing a military response after iran launched 16 missiles at u. S. Troops. The satellite images show damage at the al assad base in western iraq. You can see a large crater after one missile hit a group of buildings. There were no u. S. Casualties. There is growing intrigue surrounding the British Royal family after an unprecedented announcement from prince harry and his wife Meghan Markle. The couple says they are stepping down as senior members of the family and plan to raise their baby son archie in both the uk and north america. Now, meghan talked about her life and possibly wanting a change in life during an interview last october. Its not enough to just survive something, right . Thats not the point of life. Youve got to thrive. Youve got to feel happy. And i think i really tried to adopt this british sensibility of a stiff upper lip. It has its advantages i guess. I really tried, but i think that what that does internally is probably really damaging. We have the author of the diana chronicles and she has covered the royal family extensively. Good morning to you. Good morning. The tabloid and newspaper headlines in britain are very harsh about this decision. A big wowza. What is your take . Well, she is being eviscerated of course in the uk. That doesnt seem fair. My feeling is honestly, i think i may not be common in this view but i kind of think she ripped off, they both have sort of ripped the bandaid off earlier than anybody expected. To me this was inevitable, this direction that theyve moved in. But i thought it might come in two years, three years. Im quite surprised it happened at such warp speed. But all of the signals coming out of the palace for the last six months have been an accelerated pace of consolidating where the royal family is going to be post the death of the queen. There is so much talk about the queen and the palace being blindsided. That is the reporting in the papers. Do you think its true . I dont think thats true. I find it very hard to believe that the palace, the queen didnt have some idea, some knowledge that this was coming and this was going to be coming the way it has. The queen i think was fully aware this sabatical they were taking was really about thinking whether they wanted to be in or out. They went away to think that through and i am absolutely sure the royal family knew that was the case. I think that where they may have been surprised was the timing of the announcement before all the details had been properly worked out because there are a lot of details. You cant really step back. I mean, do you remember when Princess Diana made a famous speech at a charity somewhere and said i am now going to retire from public life for, quote, time and space. And of course you cant get time and space. You cant be a parttime global celebrity. Youre in or youre out. I think that is going to be the difficult part. Desiring to have their own life is absolutely probably the right decision for these two people. You cant really be a parttime prince so to speak. It is hard to be a parttime prince because of all the issues, the commonwealth funding, the tours, which they say, you know, the government funding those commonwealth tours which they obviously want to continue to be able to do, the house, you know, where they live, the funding they get from Prince Charles. When they say theyll work to be financially independent, what does that mean do you think . I think what it really means is that meghan particularly, and i think now harry feel they cant stand the constraints they have. This is a fully evolved working woman of 38 at this point and yet all of these layers of permission around anything she can do. They cant just say i want to do this or that. They have to go through all these palace layers. Theyve got, you know, charles on top of them, the queen on top of them, william on top of them. And, you know, its unbearable. I think that what megan has desired for a time and i know she has felt strongly is getting back some control of her life. She feels she has no control. But is it wrong to want to be financially independent and still support the queen and support the monarchy . Cant you do both . You can as a kind of outside sort of celebrity as it were, but the question of whether or not youre going to be a fully funded are the Foreign Office going to fund all their tours and so on when they are also making money in other ways . Thats never been done before. You cant have two jobs in effect. No, and it confuses and alienates the British Public if they feel that youre a celebrity who is sort of coining a lot of money on one level and then suddenly you switch to being a royal prince whos, you know, being funded by the government to go on commonwealth tours. With this and with the effective exile of Prince Andrew in the aftermath of the Jeffrey Epstein debacle interview, where is the royal family at this moment . The royal family are absolutely slimming down. I mean, Prince Charles has for some time said that his vision of the royal family is of a much more close knit, essentially editing out the others. Its just about the heirs and their heirs. Thats what they want. In fact, there was a very, i thought, telling photograph, telling incident over christmas. The queens christmas message where people always decode the photographs on her desk. 2018 you saw pictures of harry and meghan getting married and her granddaughter eugenie, Prince Andrews daughter also got married, picture on the desk. This year no pictures on the desk of just the heirs. The photographs they released just before christmas, which was the four heirs, the queen, charles, you know, william, and Prince George. Little george. Very cute. But if the palace had known about it and i do think they did, why couldnt there have been a statement of were aware of this decision. We support their decision. Were working out all the details as opposed to the messaging they sort of went rogue and now everybody is very upset . It could have been messaged very differently. Well, i think, un, in the moment people are aggravated, you. I think they feel blindsided a little bit. Not by the decision but the fact that it dropped like a hand grenade into the space as it did. All right. Well see where it goes. Slimming down for the royal family. Slimming down. Well soon be talking about who Prince George is dating. Dont forget that. He is 6. Only about 10 years. Itll all be about that. Tabloids start early. Thank you, good morning. After a wet start to the day as we head through the afternoon we will catch afternoon sunshine.

The federal government is warning about fake military draft notices demanding americans report for duty and deploy to iran. The messages threaten the recipients with jail time if they dont immediately reach out to recruiters. They began to show up on peoples phones just as tensions mounted in the middle east. Well go to washington. Do we know where these texts are coming from . Reporter well, anthony, a military spokesperson confirms to cbs news the army is investigating the texts. They appeared to start on monday. They dont have a source or motive but the scam seems designed to capitalize on the conflict with iran. Imagine getting a text that threatens jail time if you fail to report to a Recruitment Center to be drafted into the u. S. Military. Got me really nervous because im still in high school. Reporter 18yearold George Barnes received this text that read, youve been marked eligible and must report to the nearest branch for immediate departure to iran. Except military drafts ended after the vietnam war. A completely volunteer armed force. Reporter and were abolished by congress in 1973, making the u. S. Military volunteer only. The texts have been received in states across the u. S. And dont seem to be targeting a certain age or gender. They come after the deployment of more than 3,000 additional troops to the middle east. Following last weeks u. S. Strike in baghdad that killed irans most important general. Just really a little bit of disbelief that people out there would take advantage of the situation thats going on in the world right now. Reporter commander David Henning is an Army Recruiter in jacksonville, florida, where at least 50 cases have been confirmed by cbs news. He was listed as a contact on some of those messages. It would take an act of congress with president ial approval and really a global, International Emergency to necessitate a draft. And they should just disregard the text message. Reporter the army said its not contacting anyone regarding the draft and the texts are not official communications. This is a trap. Theyre trying to get you to respond and then at some point when theyve got you in a more compromised position, theyll request money. Reporter Nicholas Thompson says its a scam designed to make people panic during an intense time and not to fall for it. There is no doubt in my mind that its a bunch of people who have run a bunch of other scams and know how this works and how the psychology works. Theyre sitting there saying, hey. Whats the issue with the most emotional intensity right now . Oh, the killing of soleimani. Lets get in on that. Reporter there is no evidence yet that anyone has been compromised, hacked, or had anything stolen. The army told cbs news to always go to an official website for information and not to click on any links and to delete the messages. Got it. Thank you very much. It has to be very jarring to get a text like that. The people who do this are just hideous. Really awful. They get you riled up and then ask for money. Please dont fall for it. Devastating bush fires in australia threaten to wipe out an entire species. Ahead, how hundreds of volunteers are desperately trying to make sure that does not happen. Are they succeeding .

Only time i wear it. I can still fit into it. Talk of the table. One of the things about being a journalist we travel around this great country and i noticed in the last five years or so many cities even small towns have scooters and ive not gotten on one of those electric scooters im pushing 40, its been about 35 years since i rode one of those. Now i feel vindicated because theres a new study that suggest injuries from electric scooter accidents have scored. Between 2014 and 2018 e scooter related injuries in this country more than doubled. 222 increase more than 39,000 overall. Hospitalizations also tripled a third involved head trauma double the rate of bicycles. They are more common because traffic is a huge problem. Easy way to get around. But its not if you havent done it since you were 8 and now youre 48 any research on how old people are who get injured . Mostly younger people. Clearly cities have to begin to think about, these are the new reality, what are the regulations. No rules on them . Over the holiday on vacation and because of the transit strike these things were every where. People were on the sidewalks going the wrong way. Did you consider getting on one . No. Get these things out of here. Lots of people are getting hurt already. My story is about toddlers. If you have a toddler, been a toddler, know a toddler, pay attention. This is scary. It will take your breath away. Take a look on the ledge theres a little toddler seen running on the narrow ledge of this apartment complex four stories up in the canary islands. They are running. According to a Facebook Post this happened on saturday. The childs parents, the mom was take shower and a tourist at a nearby apartment captured the video. Her father ran over to the building and notified security this happened. This little person is okay. You can imagine as a parent you hop in the shower. Toddlers are very adventure some and very fearless. That little guy was very lucky. If you live in a big stain high rise that can happen, its a big fear. They are okay.

Not just athletes who won. Success for me shifted from only to concussion on winning to developing my coaching philosophy which is developing champions in life through sport. Miss val joins us now. Good morning, coach. Good morning miss val. I like that nickname for you. I love the speech. So important. As you point out so many people do well in life, they have success but damaged along the way. So whats the different approach to make sure that success is still possible but you dont leave all that wreckage behind. I absolutely believe and hopefully have proven in the later years of my coaching career, you dont have to be a bully to win. You dont have to demean people to win. You can build them up. Its not about being a powder puff, you know this term tough love, lets define what that tough is. Tough is accountability. Tough is being able to be respectfully honest. I like that phrase. Your ted talk 15 seconds and 15 minutes and 49 seconds was fantastic. I love you seem to have to have a come to jesus meeting with your own teammates because if you were kind of a bully. I didnt know what else to do. What was your style . Interesting. I grew up in the world of ballet. I knew nothing about gymnastics. I would literally go okay showtime. I can act. Here we go. Go on or go home. Winners make adjustments. Losers make excuses. I learned that one. What did your team say to you . Oh, yeah they asked for a team meeting, which i loved. Yeah. For two hours they said miss val remember the other day you said this to me when you were making fun of my hair style, you were asking me to go. I mean im so ashamed of this, i would just say you know why dont you go looking like a 3d you know in the fun house. Or in the dressing room. Instead of just saying you got to get in shape or lose weight. It was in my head. I thought i was funny. And as they said, you know what miss val if we all showed up every day in a great place without stresses of life it would be one thing. But you never know what someone else is going through. They wanted to be coached up and not torn down. How did you feel after they said that is now mortified. I was embarrassed. What did do you . Your expectation you have to win. I didnt know how to win. Thank god i happened upon the a coachs definition of success. Hes hailed as the greatest coach that ever lived. He said success is piece of mind. He never mentions winning. He doesnt mention winning in his books, definition of success. You ask any athlete he ever coached, he never mentioned winning. We all fell in love with caitlin, how do you this is a report.

Thank you. Thank you very much. Ahead in our more Perfect Union series how a nonprofit hair salon is h in our series a more Perfect Union we aim to show what unites as americans is far greater than what divides us. How a nonprofit hair salon is helping interracial families. We see something as simple as braiding hair can bring communities together. When Elaine Quijano visited the chicago suburb of oak park, i can cant wait for this story. When you are a new mom with a wi child of a different race whose hair requires a vastly different routine than you have ever known, it can be overwhelming and isolating. A rare salon is stepping up helping parents navigate questions about hair and a lot more. She can be, you know, as athletic as she wants to be. Reporter linda and her mom vanessa have been regular visitors to this salon for years. It was apparent from the beginning her hair was different from mine and what i had been used to in my life up to that point. So i knew that we needed to get some education. Reporter vanessa adopted linda when she was 3 years old. I went to a lot of salons. Nobody does childrens hair. The moms do it. Its like i cant i dont have that skill. I dont have that knowledge. Reporter as a newly adoptive mother, what was that like for you when you were told, well, we dont really have the ability to help you . I was in tears. I was literally in tears. I did not know where to turn. Reporter through a chance connection they met tomeca swit, the salon owner just beginning to steer her career into a nonprofit mission. I realized how much lack that there was from the Africanamerican Community to help, and i know the salon environment as a stylist and sometimes it can feel like you are being judged. That is why i felt honored to be a part of the change into Something Different that would be nonjudgmental, that would be open and loving. Oh, my gosh. Reporter 13 years later the conversations have gone well beyond hair care. Oh, my gosh. I have a new level of respect for you. Reporter at styles for kids, uncomfortable questions are answered openly. Should i say black or africanamerican . I mean, as simple as that. I didnt want to insult anyone. I didnt want to be insensitive. Reporter she helps parents understand why some africanamericans might be opposed to interracial adoptions shlts are they exposing them to what is going to help them succeed in life as an africanamerican person . Thats like the main concern. Reporter the parents have formed their own community where they can share tips and help their children interact with people who look like them. Its so important for that child to know i am africanamerican and although i grew up in a family that didnt look like me, that i am owning who i am as a person. Reporter lessons linda bolger is embracing. Coming here to get my hair done makes me happier, feel more confident. When i walk out, i feel like i can conquer anything. You look beautiful. Thank you. Reporter just one sign of success for schwindt. I have a depth to my life and friends. I i feel really grateful. I love her. She is never out of my life. I told her that early on. You are never out of my life. And you are never out of mine. Im telling you, its been such a blessing. The friendships that i form with the moms an dad, im telling you, there is nothing like it. Tomeca started styles for kids nine years ago with just three clients whose hair she would style in their homes. Today she has her own salon and has helped hundreds of families across five states. She says this is just the beginning. I love everything about this story. I love vanessa wanting to learn. I love tomeca recognizing that there is a need. I do believe that we are more alike than different, but there are differences when it comes to black hair and white hair. And hair matters. It changes the way you feel. Big time. And really she is a bridge builder. This is about creating a place where people can ask questions without fear of being judged and thats not a, you know, a place that many people feel comfortable. Thank you so much. And well be right back. Stay with us. Trump obamacare is a complete and total disaster. Let obamacare implode. Nurse these wild attacks on healthcare hurt the patients i care for. Ive been a nurse in new york for thirty years. I know the difference leadership can make because i saw what Mike Bloomberg did as mayor. Vo mayor bloomberg helped lower the number of uninsured by 40 , covering 700,000 more new yorkers, Life Expectancy increased. He helped expand Health Coverage to 200,000 more kids and upgraded pediatric care infant mortality rates dropped to record lows. And as mayor, Mike Bloomberg always championed Reproductive Health for women. So when you hear Mike Bloomberg on health care. Mrb this is america. We can certainly afford to make sure that everybody that needs to see a doctor can see a doctor, everybody that needs medicines to stay healthy can get those medicines. Nurse you should know, he did it as mayor, hell get it done as president. Mrb im Mike Bloomberg and i approve this message. Were always trying to think of a tip for happiness. Any ideas . Alway be good morning. It is 8 55 and the rain is winding down, but it doesnt mean youre out of the woods yet as far as your commute goes. We are still seeing some brake lights out there, some slow spots because of accidents. The south bay, southbound 17 right around that entry kentor there, we connector we do have reports of an accident. So expect slow conditions if youre trying to make the commute there. And 17 knot bound, we have a knot bound, we have a hand northbound, we have a handful of accidents. Still dealing with slick surfaces out there. You can expect a 28minute drive time north bound 87 to 101. San jose to sfo, minutes that is a tough commute. And so things are winding down, but some light scattered showers are still pushing across the bay area. So on high def doppler, you can see for parts of the peninsula, san mateo, parts of the east bay from fremont, milpitas, light rain and also san jose and los gatos as well so after a wet and gusty start to our day with that cold front pushing through, were going to catch that clearing for all of us as we head through our afternoon and mostly sunny for tomorrow as well.
