Welcome to cbs this morning. Taps, whenever you hear it, its a reminder of what weve lost. I think of it as the end of life and a life well lived. Indeed, gayle. I love that they did that taps across America Movement. It was really powerful. I did, too. Across america at 3 00 in the afternoon. It was really, really very powerful. We begin this morning with an urgent warning from the World Health Organization for countries reopening during this pandemic. They say moving too fast could lead to a, quote, immediate, immediate second peak of illness and death. Anthony . Memorial day crowds across the country, gayle, gave a pobot to advocates pushing for a quick reopening but they drew concern from medical experts. Our lead National Correspondent David Begnaud joins us from times square in new york. Good morning. Good morning. A lot of people used memorial day to test the waters, literally and figuratively. The majority of americans followed the advice of the doctors to wear face covers and social distance where you can. But the people who got the most attention did not. This morning all 50 states plus puerto rico have relaxed restrictions in some way or another. As the country now rolls out its new normal. It was the unofficial start to summer monday as crowds gathered to celebrate. From the beaches in tybee island, georgia and hilton head, south carolina, to the reopening of this casino in kansas city, kansas, the gatherings have some Public Health officials concerned about what is ahead. Sure, some visitors tried to socially distance, and they wore masks. We tried to distance ourselves enough to not have to wear them on the beach but still people would come over. You had to turn away from them. Many others did not. If youre worried about it, stay home. If you dont want to catch it, then stay home. Reporter in missouri, they issued a travel advisory after video showed crowded weekend pool parties at lake of the ozarks. They are urging those who ignored protective measures to selfquarantine for two weeks. Protesters in North Carolina and illinois called on their governors monday to ease restrictions for good.

Thats compared to two weeks ago. Three of them montana, alaska, and arkansas, up more than 100 . Dr. Brian richardson is chairman of the covid19 task force at Jackson Hospital in montgomery, alabama. The countys cases have almost doubled there in the past two weeks.

Well, some kind of open is open enough for a lot of people. David, thank you very much. Lets move into politics. President trump and joe biden both paid public tributes to our nations fallen on memorial day. Mr. Trump chose not to wear a mask at Arlington National cemetery but his democratic rival did wear one during his first public appearance since march at a memorial in delaware. Now the president is threatening officials in North Carolina over the Upcoming Republican National Convention scheduled to be held there. Paula reid is at the white house for us. Good morning. A lot of questions about these conventions. What does the president want . Good morning. Tony, President Trump is pressing the state of North Carolina to get back to business by insisting that the states democratic governor guarantee that thousands of gop delegates will be able to attend the Republican Convention currently scheduled for august. And, if not, he may move the lucrative event to a different state. The president tweeted that the states democratic governor, roy cooper, is still in shutdown mood and said that if the governor cant guarantee that conventiongoers will be able to fully occupy the arena in charlotte, theyll have to find another one. North carolina has nearly 24,000 covid cases, and the number of people hospitalized just reached a new high. A spokesperson for the governor said that the state will be relying on data and science as officials review convention plans with the rnc. The president s push for the country to reopen comes as the administration told congress it would purchase 100 million swabs by the end of the year. But doubled down on its position ththat leaves states responsibl for planning and carrying out the tests. President trump briefly put aside partisan threats during a series of events yesterday to mark memorial day. Visiting Arlington National cemetery for a wreath laying and calling on americans to honor Fallen Soldiers and those lost to coronavirus at ft. Mchenry in baltimore. We will vanquish the virus, and america will rise from this crisis to new and even greater heights. Reporter though many attendees wore cdc recommended masks, as did secretary of state mike pompeo, the president did not. His democratic rival, former Vice President joe biden, did wear a mask as he visited a Delaware Veterans memorial on monday. It was the first time the likely democratic president ial nominee made an appearance outside of his delaware home in nearly two months. Thanks for your service. Reporter President Trump shared a tweet with this picture criticizing joe biden for wearing a mask. Even as the u. S. Reaches the grim milestone of 100,000 covid deaths. A marker the president once said he hoped the country would never see. Anthony . Paula, thank you. An important Clinical Trial of the drug hydroxychloroquine is on hold because of concerns that it may be harmful to some patients. The president says he took the drug to fight off the coronavirus. Our dr. David agus joins us. David, good morning. The why did the World Health Organization take this step right now . Good morning, anthony. This is a drug called a solidarity trial. Several thousand patients already being treated to one of five groups. The first group is whatever the hospital normally cares for. No direct covid19 medications. The second is remdesivir. The third san hiv combination. The fourth is the hiv combination with beta interfe ron, a multiple schroerosis drug and the fifth is hydroxychloroquine. Even though theyve had regular safety checks and no increased complications with hydroxychloroquine, theyre going to stop enrolling for about a week the hydroxychloroquine arm only and take a closer look. Given the results that were published in lancet last week out of columbia university. Makes sense. Make sure theres no side effects that were missed. David, the w. H. O. Also expressed concerns about the possibility of a second peak if social distancing guidelines are eased too quickly. What are the real concerns about a second peak . Well, were having small peaks across the country in different areas at the present time, and well continue to do so across the country. The hope is they dont continue to gain and that we actually go toward a wave. I think thats what we all are afraid of. So we know how to prevent them very simply. Social distancing, wearing a mask are critical. And so as we open up and more people go to work and go to their out, we need to practice the simple things that have been shown to work to prevent this virus. Dafrkvid, as weve been reporting this morning, wearing a mask is becoming somewhat politicized. Dr. Deborah birx said, as you just did, that its critical. Why is it so important . Well, when you and i speak and we breathe, droplets come out of our mouth. And this virus is transmitted predominantly through droplets. So if those droplets are blocked by a mask, then we will have dramatically less transmission of the virus. You need a significant amount of virus to transmit it and just by blocking with a mask, reduces it enough that we can really block transmission in this country. If everyone wore a mask, we would be much safer Going Forward and much less chance of having a second peak. All right. Dr. David agus, thank you. Gayle . All right. Thank you very much. This morning, the fbi is looking into the death of a black man after he was stopped by police in minneapolis. The attempted arrest was caught on camera, and we need to warn you that its very difficult to watch. The video of last nights confrontation shows a white Police Officer with his knee pinning down the neck of the suspect. And you can clearly hear the man saying, i cant breathe several times before an ambulance arrives. Jeff pegues is joining us. What are police doing about this . Both of the officers involved in this incident are on paid administrative leave pending the results of the investigation. Police were responding to a report of a forgery. They say the suspect appeared to be under the influence and resisted arrest before suffering what they call medical distress. We want to warn you what happened after that is difficult to watch. Please. I cant breathe. Reporter this tenminute video posted to facebook overnight shows minneapolis Police Officers holding down a man. One officer uses his knee to pin the mans neck down. I cant breathe reporter several times during the arrest, the man tells officers that hes struggling to breathe and begs for some relief. Please. I cant breathe. Reporter some people gathered at the scene try to help. Thats [ bleep ], bro. Thats [ bleep ]. [ bleep ]. Youre stopping his breathing there. Reporter as officers worked to keep onlookers back, the man on the ground appears to move less and less. Five minutes into the video, the man seems to be motionless. And the Police Officers knee is still on his neck. Hes not [ bleep ] moving. Reporter seven minutes into the video, an ambulance arrives. An emt does the first pulse check, officers still have the man pinned. And when hes loaded onto the ambulance, his hands are still cuffed. Police explained what led up to the incident in an overnight news conference. After he got out, he physically resisted officers. Officers were able to get the suspect into handcuffs and officers noticed that the male was going into medical distress. Officers called for an ambulance. He was transported to the Medical Center where he died a short time later. Reporter police have not identified the man, and the officers body cameras were on and activated during that incident. This is reminiscent of eric garners very same words. I cant breathe uttered as he was dying on the streets of staten island, new york, in 2014. That phrase became a rallying cry for millions nationwide in a plea to end police brutality. Gayle . Jeff, that video is so disturbing to watch. We know how the eric garner case turned out. You said he was stopped for forgery . Is that what you said in the beginning . Thats right. It wasnt an incident where he was armed. Police say he was stopped for forgery. Obviously, there will be an investigation. I hope so. That video raises a lot of very disturbing questions. And what we heard from the Police Officers, so far, does not seem to be very satisfying. Thank you very much, jeff. If thank you is the right word there. Tony . All right, guys, thanks a lot. Moving on, were just one day away from the dawn of a new era in space flight. The spacex rocket is set to blast off and send two astronauts into space making it the first private Company Overall to launch humans into orbit. Weve been counting down to this historic milestone in Space Exploration in our launch america coverage. And Mark Strassmann is at the Kennedy Space center where there are growing concerns about the weather. Say it aint so. Tony, unfortunately it is so. You can look at these overcast skies and they could be the spoiler for tomorrows launch. But whenever it happens, this test flight will be a dramatic and important milestone in u. S. Human space travel. And it will all happen on launch pad 39a behind me. The same launch pad that sent apollo 11 to the moon. The crew capsule will carry two veteran astronauts, bob behnken. This time a private company will take them and that has never been done before and that would open a new era of commercial space travel. One factor that neither nasa more sfpacex can control is the weather. Theres a 60 chance that conditions will be good enough to launch tomorrow. Its not just the weather here on site that matters. Meteorologists are tracking conditions up the east coast. Heres why. If the launch would run into a significant issue, the inflight abort system would propel the capsule into the atlantic. And, therefore, the seas have to be reasonably calm. If the weather is not good for a launch tomorrow, the next opportunity to launch would be saturday afternoon. Tony . All right. Whenever it happens, mark, theyll be blasting into the future. Theyll blast into the future in some very retro looking uniforms and a retro looking capsule as well. Very cool stuff top to bottom. mark, thank you. Our launch america coverage will continue ahead. Mark will show you how spacex fought to make history and transform space travel. And tomorrow afternoon, join Norah Odonnell for complete coverage of the historic launch itself, weather permitting. A university of Connecticut Student is wanted for two murders and a developing.

Japan is lifting its nationwide state of emergency as the number of daily coronavirus case there keeps dropping. The country has reported just 830 deaths. Hundred of miles away taiwan has had remarkable success in its response to the pandemic. It reported only seven deaths. Holly williams reports how they did that. Reporter on the island of taiwan the streets are bustling. Restaurants are open for diners. Schools only shut down for two weeks in february. And even the baseball season is in full swing. One team temporarily relied on mannequin spectators. With a population of nearly 24 million taiwan has had just seven deaths and with rapid Contact Tracing fewer than 500 infections. Thats despite lying around 80 miles from mainland china. Weve been planning for a pandemic. The reason is in 2003 taiwan was hit very hard by sars. Reporter so let me get this straight. You had been planning for a pandemic for 17 years . Yes. We will not stop. Reporter they already had a command center ready to activate and generous stockpiles of protective gear. And twainese Companies Invested in Hitech Solutions like these robot testing machines. Crucially the government started warning the public of how serious the new virus was back in january. The Health Minister broke down in tears as he announced a new infection. It appears like we were caught sort of with our pants down. Reporter Professor Robert brook is a professor who studied taiwans response. They knew everything they had. They didnt have to scramble. They didnt need hospital beds or ventilators, where masks and gloves were. They were prepared. They had stockpiles. They were ready as i would say rock and roll. Reporter taiwans universal Health Care System keeps records on every resident, marrying that with immigration data made tracing infections much easier. I tend to believe that we share a lot more data to prevent ourselves from having catastrophic results when something attacks us like a virus. Reporter some have argued that asian governments have had it easy because people there are supposedly more obedient. Do you think taiwanese people are more obedient than people elsewhere . No, not at all. Opposition is very critical of the government. When it comes to Public Health, when the command center has educated people enough, they understand whats best for them. Reporter for cbs this morning, holly williams. Paying off in taiwan.

Im not witty enough to come back with a good retort. Ill work on that. While i work on that let me share with the audience a couple of stories youll be talking about. Video of a white woman calling police on a black man in new york city central park is racking up tons of news online. The man Christian Cooper asked a woman he didnt know identified as amy cooper to leash her dog in a section of the park where leashes are mandatory. Christian coop certificate an avid bird watcher and he made the request because the law was made to protect birds and other wildlife. Police did not make any arrests. Amy cooper later apologized. Shes on administrative leave and returned the dog a rescue shelter while the matter success addressed. A candidate running to be Manhattan District Attorney said its a good thing Christian Cooper recorded the incident. Shes tried cases where the d. A. s office uses a hysterical 911 call as categorical evidence of guilt. She said she will tell the police theres an africanamerican Man Threatening her life and intentionally raise her voice to concoct the sense of danger. Throughout American History theres examples of africanamericans put in prison or lynched. Once again i say thank goodness that theres videotape. You know, i think as the daughter of a black man and the mother of a black man this is really too much for me today. Im still rattled by that last story and shes practically strangling her dog, practically strangling her dog to make these false accusations against another black man. Im still so upset, im sorry. Im so upset with that last story where the man is handcuffed underneath a car where people are pleading please he cant breathe and we watch a man die. We go from that story to this story where she falsely accuses a black man on television. I dont even know what to do or to handle this at this particular time. I know this is im speechless. Im really, really speechless about what were seeing on television this morning. It feels to me like open season and thats just not sometimes a safe place to be in this country for black men. And today is too much for me. Tony, ill turn it over to you. That video went from bad to worse and the elevated panic in her voice, the performance in order to heighten the situation for 911 is really off putting. I want to point out also that the individual who was filming it, who was accusing her of not leashing her dog, those laws are really important. You live in the city and hes a birder, bird people know chose laws are important for birds. It wasnt a minor thing and her escalation is totally inappropriate, anthony. Yeah. She was actually he wasnt threatening her. She was threatening him as you watch the video. I go through that area all the time. There was a time many years ago it was considered somewhat dangerous. It is now a haven for birr watchers. They are always there with long lenses and cameras and stuff like that. So there is a reason that law is there to protect the birds. All right. Vlad, what else have you got. I say again, anthony and tony, thank goodness its videotaped. Thank goodness theres videotape on both of these stories so you can he see what is happening here. Gayle, to the point that all of you are making, this is not the first time. This has happened in history over and over again and now we have video. There certainly is a history. All right, thank you, vlad. Well be right back. Of lindt excellence by the lindt master chocolatier lets be honest. Quitting smoking is hard. Like, quitting every monday hard. Quitting feels so big.

This is a kpix 5 news morning update. Good morning, if you are going to the roadways, there are quite a few hotspots. Highway 4 has conditions westbound with the crash blocking the left lane. It looks like traffic is slow out of pittsburgh. Brake lights begin towards the 240 connector. The toll plaza has some brake lights. These are more cars on the roadways here. More than what we have seen the last few months. There are no toll takers but it is certainly slow. It has improved across the upper deck into san francisco. San mateo bridge is seeing more cars but the drive is 14 minutes between 880 and 101. There was a crash out of hayward near the toll plaza in the clearing stages now. The heat continues across the bay area and we have a heat advisory. Our temperatures right now are running towards the 70s. The heat advisory for most of the bay area except for the coast and immediate shoreline from 11 am to 7 pm due to the sought temperatures. Triple digit heat for fairfield, concord, and livermore, 77 in san jose but first heres todays eye opener at 8 00. Its tuesday, may 26, 2020. Welcome back to cbs this morning. Im gayle king with Tony Dokoupil and anthony mason. Coronavirus complications, the fight to prevent a potentially deadly symptom showing up in the younger patients. Epsteins accomplices . Her First Network tv interview, a woman who accuses Jeffrey Epstein of rape tells us about his alleged network of coconspirators. And historic countdown, how spacex overcame many hurdles and setbacks to get ready for the first private launch of humans into space. Off we go, but first, here is todays eye opener at 8 00. The urgent warninging from the World Health Organization moving too fast could lead to a second peak of illness and death. It appears the majority of americans followed the advice of the doctors, to wear face coverings and social distancing where you can but the people who got the most attention did not. President trump is pressing the state of North Carolina insisting that the states democratic governor guarantee that thousands of gop delegates will be able to attend a Republican Convention. Police were responding to a report of a forgery they say the suspect appeared to be under the influence and resisted arrest before suffering what they call medical distress. His test flight will be a dramatic milestone in u. S. Human space travel and all happen on launch pad 39a behind me, the same pad that sent apollo 11 to the moon. Bear, go home. A brown bear gets a little too close to a mercedesbenz, in North Carolina. [ yelling ] look at him up on his hind legs. Hes like, what . [ yelling ] this mornings eye opener is presented by toyota. Bear was more scared than the people i think. Welcome back to cbs this morning. Many americans use mel reel day to get out of the house after months in quarantine. You can see packed scenes in california as beaches across the country saw droves of people eager to get back to normal. Many followed social distancing guidelines but many did not. Social distancing is being relaxed in all 50 states, despite half the country still seeing increases in the average number of new coronavirus cases. Seeing people packed on the beach like that is very frightening. The World Health Organization is warning of an immediate second peak of cases if countries reopen too quickly without the proper precautions like we appeared to see on the beach. Its also temporarily dropping the drug hydroxychloroquine from a coronavirus treatment study because a potential risk of heart problems and death. Last week, President Trump announced he had been taking the drug as a preventative measure. So far there is no proof that it prevents the virus. And of course there are many Unanswered Questions about the coronavirus and how it attacks the body. Blood clots are turning up as a dangerous problem in some patients, and some studies suggest around 30 of seriously ill patients are developing these clots and here in the u. S. , doctors report strokes, even in patients under 50. Cbs news senior medical correspondette dr. Tara innarul examines the troubling symptom and what may be a promising treatment. I lost appetite. Reporter in april 33yearold warnell vega thought he had a common cold until his symptoms worsened. I went to wash my hands and before turning on the water, i did feel a little dizzy, and then next thing i know i was on the floor. Reporter at the hospital, vega tested positive for coronavirus, and xrays revealed another surprise, blood clots in his lungs. Vega and many other coronavirus patients, some unusually young, are experiencing blood clots. The clots are impacting blood Vessels Large and small, arteries and veins all over the body. Sometimes leading to lifethreatening conditions like pulmonary embolism and stroke. Dr. Adam cuker from pennsylvania. Have there been any other viruses that caused this degree of clotting . No, the data suggests that the risk of clotting with covid19 is greater than other Infectious Diseases that we have observed. Reporter a new observational study from new yorks mt. Sigh thigh hospital suggests a potential treatment. Treating with blood thinners to avoid clotting may increase their chances of survival. Mt. Sinai preventatively treats most of their covid19 patients with blood thinners. Dr. Valentine fuster is the director of mt. Sinai heart. We count it decreased mortality particularly in patients who are sick and a second study of 6,000 patients and it appears we are validating what happened with the first 3,000. Blood vinners helped save vegas life. He hes hes out of mt. Sinai hospital and recovering. What message do you have to other people about covid or about surviving covid . If you do start feeling sick, please go get checked out right away, because you never know. Dr. Narula joins us now. Good morning. Its a fascinating piece and really high stakes for a lot of people. Do we know why blood clots may be a complication of the virus itself . Well, tony, this is one of the biggest mysteries of covid and really one of the emerging and untold stories. Theyre probably a combination of factors contributing. The first is that we know that blood tends to clot when its stagnant, not moving around so you can imagine an intubated ventilated patient who is sedated or on a paralytic is a setup for that. There are also issues with cy cytokine storm, the immune reaction which can calls the blood to become hypercoagulor or sticky. That can lead to clots and one of the most fascinating is that this seems to be a disease of the blood vessels, not just the lungs. The same receptor that the virus uses to get into those lung cells is found on the lining of all the blood vessels, the ace receptor, and so what we think is the virus may actually be damaging the lining of the blood vessels and that can lead to the clotting. So really, really interesting and fascinating were learning a lot. Very interesting. We saw the patient in your story was helped by blood thinners, and now theres research into that as a treatment for coronavirus. How might that change the typical treatment protocols for all patients . Well thats why this story is so important, because were learning that this is such a big part of covid19, the clotting, that using blood thinners has the potential to really impact so many lives from some of these really lifethreatening complications like stroke and pulmonary embolism. We need the research to really tell us what type of blood thinners, we have several different kinds on the market, what dose, do we give it iv or in the skin or orally, and how long do we give it . As you heard, a lot of hospitals are changing their protocols, where theyre giving higher doses than normal to Covid Patients in the icu and patients are getting discharged for two weeks to a month on blood thinners to again prevent the development of some of these clots. But we need those trials to better inform us. And of course there are people who are convalescing at home who have the virus. What are a signs a blood clot may be forming and what should they do . Certainly some of the things that we worry about, so dvt or deep veinous thrombosis, a leg that comes warm or super bowlen or painful, pulmonary embolism, they travel from the deep veins of the legs or pelvis into the lungs. Chest pain especially when you take a deep breath or shortness of breath and finally stroke. If you have weakness or numbness or lack of ability to move an arm, leg or your face, difficulty with speech or vision, any of those signs should really prompt somebody to get attention quickly. Dr. Narula, thank you very much. Troubling stuff but also promising stuff on the research front. We appreciate it.

In her First Network tv interview one of Jeffrey Epstein accusers shades new light on people she says helped Jeffrey Epstein run his alleged sex trafficking ring. Sarah ransome accuses Jeffrey Epstein of raping her on his private island and says he had help from at least two women who were close to him. Shes featured in the new documentary series being released on netflix, Jeffrey Epstein filthy rich. It includes an interview with a contractor who worked for Jeffrey Epstein for years who describes what he saw on that island. I started working on the island in 1999. Steve scully worked for Jeffrey Epstein for six years. I was there for maintenance on Jeffrey Epstein telecommunications and data equipment. In the Netflix Documentary series, Jeffrey Epstein filthy rich, scully says he frequented the wealthy island in the caribbean little st. James. I was on tiled about a hundred times. Scully says he often saw young girls and prominent guests visit. Including Prince Andrew who he says he saw by the pool with a young girl. Scully says the fbi showed him this photograph of Prince Andrew with Virginia Roberts giuffre. As soon as i saw her, that was the girl he was grinding against. She was wearing a bikini bottom. Thats it. Virginia Roberts Giuffre claims she was forced to have sex with Prince Andrew when she was 17. The prince has acknowledge ad friendship with epstein but denies any sexual contact with Virginia Roberts giuffre. I have no recollection of ever meeting this lady. None whatsoever. What was the most striking thing you found about Jeffrey Epstein . I just think its just baffling how he manipulated and lied his way through his entire life. I would like toe answer that question. But today ill have to assert my sixth amendment rights. The director started workin on the documentary in 2018 before Jeffrey Epsteins arrest. This pyramid scheme, the scope was unbelievable. I mean hundreds and hundreds of girls we learned. The very first day i between the island it started. Sarah ransome was 22 when she met Jeffrey Epstein in 2006. The South African who came to new york to study fashion was soon invited to the island. I assumed after that i was called into his bedroom and then raped. And there was no way of escaping. She describes being in shock. The more he saw more he enjoyed it and it excited him. Last year after epstein died by suicide in prison, ransome joined other survivors in court. What was that day for you . I think that maybe ill get another day in court where i could face my coconspirators, people that helped jeffrey rape me every day. Epsteins chief lieutenant says ransome were glenn maximum kill and sarah kellen. Sarah kellen would call me to his bedroom and i had no choice but to go. Sara kellen was always on her laptop organizing thing. Did sarah kellen make appointments for you . Absolutely. She booked all my flights. Sarah kellen went on to marry brian vickers. In a statement to cbs news kellens spokesperson said epstein sexually and psychologically abused kellen for years. The statement went on the say kellens scheduled appointments for epstein and maxwell at their direction, adding kellen is aware of the pain and damage epstein caused and deeply regrets that she had any part in it. Good afternoon. Maximum kill denies any involvement with epsteins alleged sex trafficking ring. Today maxwells whereabouts are unknown. Neither woman has been criminally charged. When you read maxwell says she had no involvement in this or when sarah kellen says she was a victim, whats your reaction to that . I think its disgraceful and these people are going to burn in hell. They knew exactly what they were doing. She knew every time she called me i was going to be raped. Every time. Sarah kellen knew for every girl she organized, she would go on that island or to be picked up by a car, going to the new york mansion, she knew these girls were there to be raped repeatedly. Shes going to rot in hell. Definitely. This never really goes away, does it sarah . The pain never goes away. I live every day in fear. I dont know where these people are. I dont know whether they are going to knock on my door. Whether they will find me ill get an earn mail. Its affected me to such an extent that i dont think ill ever stop to heal. Sarah ransome settled a lawsuit with epstein and with maxwell in 2018. Virginia Roberts Giuffre also settled a suit with maxwell. Prince andrews lawyers told cbs news they had no comment on steve scullys claim regarding the prince and Virginia Roberts giuffre on tiled. They did offer a quote from a friend who said andrew was on the island at the time with his age appropriate girlfriend. The full documentary is out tomorrow on netflix. And, gayle, one thing you sure see in this documentary is how the women involved with Jeffrey Epstein are dealing with long lingering and profound emotional damage. Thats what struck me about the interview with sarah. Even though the perpetrator Jeffrey Epstein is dead, that she still doesnt have peace. That she still doesnt feel she has justice. And according to her other women, how other women could participate in harming another woman is very, very difficult. My heart goes out to her. Very powerful interview. One of the ive interviewed several survivors now and one of the common themes you hear is they felt for years they just werent heard. They made complaints and the court system didnt respond. It took very long, the first complaint was made that we know of mavs made in 1996 and it wasnt until last year that Jeffrey Epstein, you know, actually appeared in court. Ahead well talk with iowa senator joni ernst the first female combat veteran in senate. First on cbs this morning she will tell us about her new memoir. Well be right back. Were all doing our part by staying at home. That could mean an increase in energy bills. You can save by using a fan to cool off. Unplugging and turning off devices when not in use. Or closing your shades during the day. Stay well and keep it golden. Spacex is about to become the first private doe launch humans into orbit. Were at Kennedy Space center wh e spacex this is a kpix 5 news morning update. Good morning, for the first time in months, we have an accident or incident at the bay bridge. It is slow near the toll plaza. A are busy once you get up the incline. It is a bit of a surprise as we continue on. If you are hitting the roads, or maybe going back to work, you might see lots of company. San mateo bridge has lots of volume for the commute headed westbound towards 101 from 880. There was an earlier club rash at the toll area. There are more cars here. It is about 14 minutes between 880 and 101. It was a beautiful drive on the Golden Gate Bridge with no delays and southbound 101 into san rafael has no trouble spots over all. We are already watching those temperatures climb into the 60s and 70s at this hour and with that sunshine, through the day, we could see record tying or recordbreaking high temperatures. A heat advisory is in effect for the bay area except for the immediate shoreline and the coast from 11 am to 7 pm. Please be safe in this heat. Triple digit heat is expected for fairfield, concord, and livermore. Why choose invisalign over other aligners . Only invisalign treatment uses smarttrack technology.

Its time to bring you some of the stories we call talk of the table. So, you know, were all coming to you from each of our homes. We each pick a story we like, share with you. Anthony, youre up the first. Yeah. I love this story, gayle because it reminds me of some of the conversations i had with my daughter when she was growing up. A 7yearold girl in michigan wanted to make sure one very essential worker is protected from the coronavirus. She asked her mother to make a facemask for the tooth fairy after she lost a tooth this month. She said the tooth fairy is just a tiny little pixie human with wings. Her mom stayed up late making the mask. She left a note saying dear tooth fairy my mom made a mask for you. The next day she found a dollar one her pillow. Her mother said the tooth fairy cant get coronavirus and she said mom how now . We have to play it safe. So they did. But i love the note that tooth fairy left that said thank you to your mom for sewing my mom. She stems be the best mom ever. Tell her that as often as you can. The research is not in on whether the tooth fairy can get the coronavirus. Better safe than sorry. Well played. Im talking about elon musk and singer grimes, they have decided to tweak their babys name. It was an unusual baby. Their son was born on may 4th. The first name did not comply with california law. You can see the name there. Its very hard to pronounce as it appears. The new name has roman numerals instead of a second dash and it looks complicated but it is pronounced x ash a 12 and grimes was fine with this switch. Mom says it looks better with roman numerals. But they need a Second Review and not exactly clear whether this new name meets state law. In the musk household theres a lot going on. They got to worry about the spacex launch tomorrow, of course elon musks company and get the formula right on the name in addition to rocket. Elon musk is always an out of the box thinker. That carries through end when naming his child. Congratulations to him and. Grimes. Thats exciting for them both. My story is about the first female elected to federal office in iowa and the first female combat veteran to become usa senator. Measure name is joni ernst. She now appears to be in a close race for her second term. The Iowa Republican has just released her new book. Its called, daughter of the heartland my ode to the country that raised me. Joni ernst will tell you shes a very proud farmers daughter. Before joining the senate ernst stefrd in t served in the National Guard and army u. S. Reserve. She was deployed to kuwait and iraq and she knows what boots on the ground really means. Senator ernst joins us first on cbs this morning from iowa. Senator ernst, its really good to see you this morning. Ill begin with a question, heads up it has a lot of numbers in it. Iowa was one of seven states not to have a stayathome order. You got close to 18,000 covid cases so far, nearly 500 deaths. The cases are still continuing since sunday theres been another 350 cases. Do you think that the governor should issue a stayathome order in your state . I think our governor has taken all the necessary steps and has followed the cdc recommendations for our beautiful state. We do have metro areas and certain hot spots and in those communities certainly the local elective officials are workin e diligently and then there are other locations where im from like rural farmland where were trying to get our economy up and going. I think governor has taken the necessary precautions and working very closely with our local elective officials. Mitch mcconnell said theres a high likelihood of another Coronavirus Relief package. What does a good deal look like to you . You have some meatpacking plants in iowa that are concerned. Whats a good deal for you at this stage . Well, yes. Working together, of course, we need to make sure that there are Liability Protections in place for those businesses that are getting things back up and going in our economy. To concussion on individuals too. Those essential workers that have been on the front lines and really carrying the brunt and the weight of the pandemic, focusing on them, those health care workers, our truck drivers, our grocers, those folks work in the meatpacking facilities and food industries. They are all heroes for keeping our families safe and healthy and we want to make sure were to concussion on them as well. We all agree with that. You know, the Trump Administration has said testing lets talk about testing for a second because i do want to get to your book. The Trump Administration says testing should be left to the states. Medical experts appear to say we need uniform testing around the country. What do you think . I think its a combination of both. Certainly we need those guidances coming from the federal government, and then programs that can be pushed out by the states and the local authorities, working in conjunction handinhand, federal government and local Public Health agencies would be a great way to get as many tests out to a population as possible. And i think once we start seeing that everybody will feel a lot better about going out in their communities if they know where those hot spots are, where to avoid and maybe some areas where we can open up. All right, senator ernst learned a lot about you reading your book. For instance at the age of 7 your dream was to be a nurse or a farmers wildfire, miss america. That dream dont go so well for you, senator ernst. What happened . Well i didnt realize those goals but i did go from that little girl on a family farm, certainly, to some greater aspirations. I never imagined i would be serving in the united states, especially through a number of challenges that ive been through in my lifetime. But i am so grateful. And the title of my book says it all. Its my ode to the country. We are so blessed to be in such a tremendous nation where you can be a farm girl growing up in rural iowa and then serve your nation in uniform as well as serve your constituents in the senate. Senator, not just a farm girl but a farm girl that castrated hogs when she was young. You said it was excellent training for challenges you faced in military and now in public office. Your tag line reads mother, soldier, senator, go you. So how is the way you were raised affected you and really gave good examples for you when you had military life and public office, because you do draw a correlation between two. Yes. And thank you, gayle, because i grew up with a mom and dad that really believed you had to pitch in and work and a lot of that was manual labor. Thats what farming entails. So not being afraid to get my hand dirty, understanding theres no job beneath me, and that really instilled the values and the work ethic, challenging myself in various situations and knowing i can overcome. Of course always circling back to gratitude knowing i couldnt have done all of this without wonderful friend and family supporting me. Senator, youve had a lot to overcome. You write very candidly, very poignantly about abuse you suffered from a boyfriend at a very early age. Then later in your marriage, abuse and infidelity and you said all of those certainly changed you. But what is your message to women who have gone through it or going through it now . You have a very clear point of view on this. Yeah. My story is a very raw story but its not a story that is unusual across the united states. And i have had many women that have thanked me for being so candid about whether its sexual or physical abuse, and my point to other people and other young ladies out there is that this is what a mom can be. This is what a mom can do. She can work. She can serve in the military. She can serve in elected office. She can raise family. Theres so many thing and opportunities. We just have to know how to pick ourselves up after having those challenging situations, drive through it all, and know that we can be all of these things. We can be aspirational and inconspirai inspirational. You say you think about your daughter, 20yearold libby. Glad you have her in your life. You certainly have turned that around. Senator ernst we thank you. Good wluk your book. Its called, daughter of the heartland my ode to the country that raised me. On sale now wherever you like to buy your books. Coming up spacex is set to launch two nasa astronauts into orbit tomorrow. Well take a look at spacexs fight to change history and to become the. Were counting down to tomorrows historic spacex launch with our launch america coverage, two nasa astronauts are set to blast off from u. S. Soil for the First Time Since the Space Shuttle Program Ended back 7011. This is a look at the Spacex Falcon 9 rocket that will send those astronauts to the International Space station. It is standing on the very same launch pad that launched the apollo 11 mission to the moon. Mark strassmann is at the Kennedy Space center with how spacex got to the brink of making space history. Mark, good morning. Reporter good morning, tony. You know, a million Little Things have to go right for a successful launch but the big one is weather. Skies are improving. Conditions are 60 favorable for a launch tomorrow afternoon. So lets take a look now at spacex, a company with a history of beating long odds. Rolling teslas to the launch pad but for astronauts, bob behnken and doug hurley this is the ride that matters. The capsule ready to blaze a new path to space. Six years ago elon musks company only had a model of the spaceship. Butina is a awarded spacex drs. 2. 6 billion to fly its astronauts to the International Space station. Liftoff of the Spacex Falcon 9 rocket by then spacex had already made history. The First Company to fly cargo there. And the first to develop reusable rockets, slashing costs and revolutionizing the Business Model of space. By 2018 development of crew dragon was well under way at spacex headquarters in haw this Morning Saturday california we met the astronauts training to be its first crew. Coming out here its a real motivator. This workforce is so young. They are passionate about what they do. It reinvigorates you. For apollo 11 the average age of a flight controller was 26. Theres precedent for this. Obviously we werent there. I would certainly say nasa of the 60s was not drastically unlike spacex of now. Learning as they go, learning about flying in space, learning the hard lessons and being successful. Reporter hard lessons like this one in 2015. A falcon 9 rocket lifting cargo to the space station disintegrated minutes after liftoff. Had a launch vehicle failure. Reporter last year another setback when a crew dragon capsule exploded during a ground test. While its disappointing it also can be a real gift to the final design. Reporter the company embraced its failures. To be frank, there was some hard work i dont think we tested it hard enough. Sometimes the Aerospace Industry shies away from failure in the development phase. Reporter Gwynne Shotwell is spacexs president. Musks right hand. Its tough and media makes a lot out of failures but thats the best way to learn is to push your systems to their limit. Learn where youre weak and make things better. Reporter spacex is now on a streak of 62 successful launches. And crew dragon is armed with an escape system. If the rocket falters its engines can push away the capsule landing the crew safely in the ocean. Generally believe if something goes wrong you got options. Absolutely. We do focus on trying to remind folks that there are people on the other end of this rocket ship and thats important to us. Theres another aspect of it that were an extension of what they are trying to accomplish. Thats really their goal is to take humans and we bring the that home as we walk through. Reporter tomorrows launch shapes up as spacexs most pivotal test. Succe succeed and america is back. Fail the dream of launching astronauts into space, it will be setback indefinitely. My heart is right there and stay there until we get date of birth and doug safely back from the International Space station. Reporter when spacex was founded 2002, elon musk handicapped its success at one in ten. Tony . Mark, hard not to be nervous for them but extremely excited. Only countries have done this in the past. A company is trying to do it. All of humanity is trying to do it. When you look up at the night sky you realize we have gone almost barely not a at all into it and it goes on forever. Mark thank you very much. Join cbs evening news anchor Norah Odonnell tomorrow afternoon for complete coverage of this historic launch all week on our cbs this morning podcast. Back here on earth were honoring asianamerican heritage month. John cho talks about his oped what its like to be asianamerican during the pandemic. Not easy. Well be right back.
