Breaking news to get to from New Hampshire where Ghislaine Maxwell was arrested this morning. Shes kept a low profile since Jeffrey Epstein was arrested nearly a year ago. Mola lenghi has been following story. She has scarcely been seen in public. What do we now know about her arrest. Good morning. We know Ghislaine Maxwell has been arrested by the fbi in New Hampshire. The charges include four counts related to Jeffrey Epsteins alleged sex trafficking ring and two counts of perjury. Many of epsteins accusers have claimed maxwell was deeply involved in arranging, participating in, recruiting, grooming underaged girls for epstein to sexually abuse over many, many years. The lawsuit back in 2017 described her as the, quote, highest ranking employee of epsteins alleged sex trafficking ring. Maxwell has long denied any and all wrongdoing. Now as we have told you that epstein, as we know, committed suicide behind bars in new york last year after he was arrested and hit with federal charges for allegedly sexually abusing dozens of underage girls in florida and new york. And he, along with maxwell, have been linked to many highprofile figures. Youve mentioned the accusers. Have we heard from any of those alleged victims . Are they reacting to Ghislaine Maxwells arrest . Not so much yet but theyve long gone calling for this arrest. This morning, brad edwards, the attorney for several of epsteins alleged accuses said that given the alleged role maxwell played, this is what they called second vindication. He said he spoke with several of his clients this morning and they told him they feel a major sense of relief. He expects more details about the arrest and the charges to be released publicly today. Of course, well keep you updated as those developments arise. Molea, big, big news in a case weve been following for a long time. Thank you very much. Gayle, sending it back to you.

There is promising news in the race for a coronavirus vaccine. Two incumbencompanies, pfizer a german partner biontech, reported encouraging signs in very early clinicalri for a possible vaccine. A small study on 45 patients triggered stronger immune responses in recipients. More than 15 different possible vaccines are being tested on people worldwide. Dr. David agus joins us with the latest on this global effort. Good to see you, dr. Agus. Youve got the best doctors, the best researchers working on this. We are see craving good, positive news. Do you have it this morning based on the results from those two companies . Yeah. Kns go hatrus they got a good immune response. When i do a cancer trial, my goal is to shrink the cancer. When you giver a vaccine give a vaccine, you want a good immune response. They saw antibodies in people that got the virus. Thats encouraging. They didnt talk about the t cell part. The t cells are important, but this is a big step forward. This is what they hoped for. There are reports that some people in the trial did experience fevers and other symptoms. Is that normal . Well, youre going to give me a weird look, but yes, this is good. You know, if i give a vaccine and the patient has a sore arm or feve icheeri o have tears in my eyes because i know rking. Sponse. s par what t do in this case is they give rna, the instruction for the spike protein of covid19, and then your bodys cells make it. And you make an immune response, and that protects you from the virus. So this is a new kind of vaccine, very encouraging and exciting that were moving forward. Encouraging and exciting are the words we like to hear. I heard you say science will win. You know the question to that, david, is when, david, when will science win .

I am very optimistic were going to have a vaccine in the fall, and hopefully more than one ndid ohood about this story. Thank you very much, david agus. Always good to see you in california.

In the wake of George Floyds death, the black lives Matter Movement is highlighting Police Unions and the role they play in protecting officers. Union contracts can offer a range of protections, and louisville, kentucky, for example, the Union Contract requires that officers involved in Breonna Taylors shooting death received a 48hour notice before they were interrogated. Weve reached out to the union and have not heard back. Erroll barnett shows how contracts like these can affect investigations into officers. I am immediately withdrawing from the contract negotiations with the Minneapolis Police federation. Reporter this announcement made days after George Floyds killing exposed the complicated relationships often existing between Police Unions and local officials. We are sick and tired of the Police Federation getting in the way reporter in cities and towns across the country, lawmakers work with Police Unions to negotiate officers compensation and disciplinary procedures. Those very contracts determined at the local level, varying from city to city, and now a focal point of police reform. What these agreements often do is they impede reasonable accountability efforts, and they often can serve as barriers to reasonable investigation, oversight, and disciplinary procedures. Reporter Stephen Rushin teaches law at loyallya university where he also studies police accountability. Take an example like san antonio, texas, you got to give officers before the interrogation access to Video Evidence, access to gps coordinates, complaints, witness statements, and affidavits before you can even question them about allegations of misconduct. Reporter according to the san antonio Police Officers association, these provisions apply only to alleged Civil Service rule violations and have no bearing on any criminal investigations officers may face. In a statement to cbs news, the association said theyre not, quote, tone deaf to the concerns of police transparency, going on to say their collective Bargaining Agreement is a living document, adding as we move forward in time and our industry adapts to changes, there will be a need to make modifications. Omaha, nebraska, like san antonio, allows officers to review Video Evidence before theyre interrogated. Access to the video is only there to help refresh the officers memory. So the officer has given the most accurate statement to the incident. Reporter in nebraska, officer misconduct records are confidential. Anthony conner is president of the omaha Police Officers association. Is it possible for people in omaha to see the disciplinary records of Police Officers . Similar to other Public Sector employees, no, its not. Roy do you think it should be to gain the Publics Trust . No, i dont. Its a tragic situation. Whether its george floyd or the incident in atlanta, you hear the argument that the persons history doesnt matter. Well, if the history dont matter with them, why would it matter with a Police Officer . Thats where i think theres some confusion and what the public says they want. Reporter the difference would be one person is being paid to protect people and the other is just a citizen, presumed innocent. I can recognize that. At the same time, i still think that personnel records should not be opened. Reporter conner does support president trumps recent executive order calling for a data base to track officers excessive use of force. We should not have Police Officers that are fired from one agency for misconduct and then hired down the row. Reporter how does it feel to hear the criticisms of unions in this larger discussion of implementing reforms . Its kicking us out of the room and not having us as part of the conversation. Reporter does the public have any input in these police Union Contracts . Yes, they do, because the public votes for the mayor who is going to sign the contract who votes for the city council who votes for the contract. While the Police Department doesnt have the resources to meet the fennel demands of the financial demands of the Police Unions, an easy way to settle that is to make concessions on discipline. Its easy to just blame the union. But that doesnt really get at the problem. These contracts didnt write themselves. So the question then is why are our political leaders signing off on these bad deals all across the country . Reporter as negotiations continue during calls for police reform, holding local officials accountable, he says, is essential. For cbs this morning, erroll barnett, new york. Sounds like hes right there, this comes down to politics. All right. Thank you so much.

Whats happening there . Good to see you all. You can contacts trace me all day, every day, Tony Dokoupil. Were working from home, and were taking a look at some of the stories we could youll be talking about including this as you mentioned, some partygoers in the new york city suburb of west nyac are refusing to Health Officials track down others who may be infected with the coronavirus. A few face subpoenas to help contact tracers. Up to 100 people attended a party in midjune. Most of them in their early 20s. At least eight of them have tested positive for covid19, plus the host. And the fear is that they are spreading the virus to more people. And tony, youve done a lot of reporting on why Contact Tracing is so important for containment. Yeah. Its absolutely critical for containment. It it breaks the chain of transmission. If one person has the virus, they then tell the contact tracers who theyve been in contact with, and those next people in the chain can be aware so they dont pass it on unwittingly other people. This works for measles, it works for ebola, it simply works. To not participate in it is to knowingly allow the virus to go on and spread. Eight people already in that party. Lets go, guys. Its time to pick up the phone, call your health department, let them know who youve been with so that we can stop this thing. Or be fined. Or be fined yes. You should have to pay. You slough hould have to pay. Yeah. Thats right. Let me switch gears now. A missouri man who served 22 years in prison is free after a wnba star put her lucrative career on hold to argue that he was wrongfully convicted. That is maya moore hugging jonathan irons moments after he was released yesterday. She took a season off to advocate for irons who was sentenced to 50 years for a burglary and assault in 1997. His defense team argued there was no physical evidence, so a judge throughout march. How does it feel . s i i feel like i can live life now. Im free. Im blessed. Gayle, i love these stories where athletes, whether they be mohaned ali or Colin Kaepernick or maya moore give up their careers to advocate for somebody who finds themselves in a predicament like this. I mean, go, maya moore. She changed the game for him. Listen, he was 16 years old sentenced to 50 years for the crime. 50 years he served 22 years. Thats why there is so much conversation about doing something about the criminal Justice System which they say and you see evidence of that is unfair to people of color. He was convicted by an allwhite jury at the time when he was a 16yearold. It doesnt make any sense whatsoever. Im so glad that maya picked up the story and put her life on hold really to help him. I love it, too. Sorry he had to go through it, though. Very sorry he had to go through it. You have another inspiring story about another young person . Yes. Inspiring for sure. Watch the moment a 24yearold former sanitation worker finds out he was accepted into one of the top law schools in the world. Im clicking it. Congratulations oh lets go rehan staton is going to harvard law school. His story is one of grace under pressure and perseverance. He was raised by a single dad who worked endless hours to pay bills and provide food. Because of at staton struggled in school. A teacher told him he needed to be in special education classes. As his home life improved, he aced that class. After high school he attended the university of maryland and gave the commentment speech. He told me his coworkers encouraged him to follow his dream. It was the people that were on the bottom of the hierarchy who really lifted me up. How does it make you feel . Just very fortunate because it it helped me to keep my eyes on the prize. If this was just about plea and fighting for myself, i would have quit. Thinking back to all the people that helped me, failure wasnt an option. Anthony, this is one of the rare interviews where i got tears in my eyes after we ended. When he mentioned the people at the bottom, a lot of his former coworkers were exconvicts. And the teacher told him he needed to be in special ed did not help as much as the folks at the bottom end of the hierarchy. Hi he fought through so much. It was the folks at the bates Trucking Service who said to go for it. He got a 4. 0 average. There was obviously always something there. There were so many headwinds for him. I loved what he said, he said, no one can promise you that life will be fair, but if you keep your eyes on the prize, everything will fall into place. You need encourage. Thats key. When a teacher tells you your handicapped you youre handicapped it does it help. He went to university of maryland. Thats why i went, too. Makes me proud. Well be back with new jersey governor phil murphy, stay with us. Why . I see a new kitchen with a grill and ask, why not . I really need to start adding less to cart and more to savings.

Welcome back to cbs this morning. Im gayle king with Tony Dokoupil and anthony mason. Alarming record the u. S. Sees more than 50,000 new coronavirus cases in a single day.

Theres nothing that beats a good hug. Nothing beats a good g. Welcome back to cbs this morning. We begin with this. President trump is again claiming the coronavirus will eventually disappear, but the numbers tell a very different story. The u. S. Sur passed 50,000 daily cases for the first time according to john hopkins. At least 38 states are seeing in rise in cases that includes california where the governor is theaters in 19 counties for the next three weeks. Yeah. But in texas the launt governor now says he will no longer take advice from dr. Anthony fauci who expressed alarm over that states rising cases. Dan patrick dismissed the claims the decision to skip some reopening guidelines may have put texans in danger. Texas has not met white house guidelines and daily cases there have exploded nearly 1200 since memorial day. States at the center have seen a decline in new cases. A Coronavirus Tracking site says new york, new jersey, and connecticut are the only states that meet white house reopening guidelines. As the fourth of july holiday approaches, outdoor water parks, playgrounds, amusement parks and some casinos will open in new jersey today. The state has delayed plans for indoor restaurant dining. New jerseys governor joins us now. Governor, thank you for being with us. As we head into the Holiday Weekend, what concerns you the most . Anthony, good to be with you. This virus by all measures is a lot more lethal inside than outside. Thats why we have delayed Indoor Dining. Not a decision that brought us any joy. But we have gone through hell and lost over 13,000 lives confirmed. Probably another couple thousand in addition to that suspected from covid19 loss. So were tracking rate of transmission, spot positivity rates, new hospitalizations. Su our hair down outside, but so far at least evidenced from parks and beaches being open, peaceful protests, the big concern remains indoors and well be watching that like a hawk. So with so many states struggling with social distancing at beaches, do you plan to enforce social distancing on all of your coastline of which you have a lot . Yeah, we do. We have one of the Great American treasures in the jersey shore. Weve worked very well. I have to give a big shoutout with the shore counties and shore municipalities and their mayors. Weve given the broad guidelines and social distancing is at the top of the list. The folks locally have executed the guide lines and based on all of our evidence over the past month or so since memorial day, the enforcement has been good. And again, outside is a lot more degrees of freedom than inside. When you look at the numbers around the rest of the country now, governor, how does that factor into your decisionmaking at this point . Things are going well for new jersey now. But theres so much out there that could come this way. Amen. I mean, first, we pray for folks, the other states going through what we have gone through and we wish them nothing but a speedy resolution to this awful pandemic. The big lesson for me is the indoors. Restaurants and bars, inside thislethal. Thats informed in large part our decision to hold off on Indoor Dining. Also with new york governor and connecticut weve put out a travel advisory asking people to do a 14 day selfquarantine if youve been in a hot spot. Certainly the other areas of the country have informed that decision as well. We dont want to live through this again if we can possibly avoid it. President trump said yesterday were going to be very good with the coronavirus. I think at some point thats going to sort of just disappear. Whats your reaction to that . Well, i hope hes right. I hope hes right. Please, god, but in the meantim we closed our state was aggressive. The word were going toan, wer ere on the err to the side of aggressive closing. Were going to err on the side of caution and hopefully good willing across the country we can drive this thing into the ground. Are you satisfied with the federal leadership . Do you think the president has handled this right . Ill put words and observations aside which we would clearly have a different opinion on. We havent been able to find common ground. When we needed ventilators, bed capacity, ppe, we found common ground. I will say, again, im grateful for that. Going forward, i just hope that things like social distancing, wearing face coverings, watching your hands with soap and water, staying away from anybody if youre not feeling well, get tested. I hope all those things we continue to drive into peoples consciousness not just at the state level but at the national level. Governor, theres a lot of discussion about mandating masks in public. Even a federal mandate. Would you support that . Yeah. Were big mask believers. We mandate it right now indoors anywhere in the state. Its strongly recommended outdoors for the reasons i went through earlier, the virus is a lot more looetful inside. Were big believers in masks. Social distancing plus face coverings, plus washing your hands with soap and water and being smart. You think there should be a federal mandate . I would support that. Thats above my pay grade, but we have it in new jersey. I think thats a smart move. All right. Governor, thank you so much for being with us. Good luck this fourth of july. Broadway star still in the hospital after being diagnosed with a coronavirus months ago.

Whats in your wallet . Broadway actor nick cordero is still fighting for his life after being diagnosed with the coronavirus. Hes been hospitalized in los angeles for three months now. His wife, amanda kloots, says hes still critically ill even though hes now covid negative and no longer in a coma. The tony nominee had to have his leg amputated due to complications from the virus. Only on cbs this morning, we spoke with amanda yesterday about her husbands condition and why she says shes Still Holding on to hope. He is doing okay. Hes stable. Nicks body is extremely weak, muscles have atrophied. So he cant move his body yet. He can still open his eyes. And when he is alert and awake hell answer commands by looking up or down, yesorno questions. When im asking him he will try to smile or move. The nurses have said that he answers my questions the best. Last time we talked, you called it a really bumpy roller coaster ride. How do you describe it now . I call it the vicious circle or the icu dance because you just feel like youre in this momentum of going around, around, around like a hamster wheel, and i just want to get us out of the hamster wheel. What do you think nick understands about what has happened or is happening to him . That is really hard to try to gauge, unfortunately. We have told him sort of a very blanket statement of kind of what has happened just because we dont know what he understands just yet. Do you think he knows that his leg has been amputated . I have told him that. You told him . I did. I told him, and i told him how theres amazing prosthetics, and i told him ive been talking to amputees to try to give him encouragement. What exactly needs to happen that we know that nick is making progress on the way to recovery . In a Perfect World because we are hoping for a Perfect World me, too. Our ultimate, ultimate goal would be to get him to be a candidate for a double Lung Transplant. Hes going to need a double Lung Transplant youre saying . We think that that is most likely the possibility. 99 chance that he would be needing that. In order to live the kind of life that i know my husband would want to live, that is a long road away. And a lot of things would have to line up in order for nick to be a candidate for that. There has to be a positive outcome you believe on the other side. There has to be, and i tell him, i say, youre going to walk out of this hospital, honey. I kblebelieve it. Were going to dance again. Youre going to hold your son again. My line is dont get lost, get focused. Youve been through a lot, you are not defeated. I feel like when im not in the room with him and come home, dont get me wrong, i have my days. Yeah. But i have to stay determined. On your moments when its tough for you, how do you get through that . Well, luckily i have amazing support right now. Im living with my family, and you know, i came home the other day really feeling, you know, just kind of exhausted and sad. And i let it out. I screamed, and i cried in front of my parents. You have to have those days. You have to break down. Thats only natural. You know, i am a strong person, but even strong people break. You have to break down so that you can build yourself up again. I was wondering, amanda, if youve ever gone there. Have doctors told you, amanda, its time to let him go . Have they said that to you . They told me four times he wont survive. Saying he wont survive through the night. But he has. He has. I believe, gayle, that god is the only person thats going to decide when and if my husband goes. So i will never try to play that role. Hes fighting, i see it every day. Nicks doctor sees , and fighting, ill continue to fight with him. I tell him every day before i leave, i say, okay, heres what you have to focus on. The two of us sitting in our new house, elvis is in bed, and were listening to our house in our home in laurel canyon. I love that picture. I love to picture that. Ho our house. The crosby, stills, nash and, young. Sing it staring at the fire for hours and hours while i listen to you play your love songs all night long for me what perfect lyrics for your life. What youre going through now. How often do you get to see him you in . I go every day. You posted a picture of your hands clasped together. You know, theres so many cords everywhere. Yeah. I just wanted to jump in his bed and hug him and grab him and squeeze him. You have to be very careful with everything thats going on. So i grabbed his hand, and im waiting for the day that he holds my hand back. Me, too, amanda. Me, too. I looked at his hands, i thought it looked good. I know you know that song, our house is a very, very nice house, with two cats in the yard, now everything is easy cuz of you. I think the here risks important and dead on for her. Can you imagine shes been told four times. She took him to the hospital at the end of march, march 30th, to go get tested in the emergency room. She said, ill be back to get you in two hours. And then next thing she knows, she gets a call, hes on oxygen. Their baby elvis turned a year. Hes walking and saying some words. She knows its a long road. She knows it, and she knows that there are people that say, amanda, you got to let him go. As long as hes fighting, she said im fighting. She said the doctors told her this for every week in the icu its a month of rehab. Hes been there 91 days. Thats a long time. She is still, as you see, sparkly. I just adore her love that she has for her husband. Yeah. And her enthusiasm. She knows were all pulling for her and nick, all of us. And her strength is amazing. It really is. And you can tell how much th to nt i rhtow he andhas id support. Her poise and her reserves of strength are an inspiration to all of us. Gayle, she had a bracelet on when they were holding hands, something about living a good life. Did you catch what it was . I saw that yeah, its something that she had made for him. Its istandswithnick. An i love you bracelet that she made for him. A beautiful thing. Its heartbreaking to me, but i have optimism because im feeding off of her. Gayle, thank you so much. Well be right back. Ahead, wonder years star and bestselling author Danica Mckellar will join us to talk about her new book that aims to make math fun for kids. Plus, her tips on how to keep students focused when theyre learning from home. Get the toys out of the room. Thats a very good morning, its 8 25. Im len kiese and all state beach parking lots are closed on orders from the governor. Due to a surge in coronavirus cases in pacifica. The mayor is taking that order a step further. Closing the beaches as well. A protest happens at noon partly over working conditions at Teslas Fremont plant. Protesters say tesla is opting out on havi es do Contact Tracing. They want Fremont Police to investigate conditions there at the plant. The warriors have shut down a practice facility in oakland after an employee there tested positive for covid19. The facility will now undergo a thorough cleaning and virtual basketball camps are on hold until next week. Metering lights were not turned on this morning at the bay bridge toll plaza and traffic has been pretty light for the most part. A nice ride out of the east bay heading into San Francisco with one minor pickup. Theres a stilled vehicle on the upper deck lower deck i should say. The countercommute coming out of San Francisco over into the east bay might see some slight brake lights there. And chp working on a crash south 680 right at stone valley road and it is blocked that exit ramp due to the crash. And no main lines of the freeway though are affected and the Golden Gate Bridge looks good both directions but pretty windy there this morning. Heres mary. Well ark cooler day today gianna, with that onshore flow. So that Pacific Ocean breeze kicking in for us and well see westerly to southwesterly winds about 10, 20 miles per hour. There we go with the cooler temperatures. Mid 60s in San Francisco and 80 for concord and san jose to we the july 4th Holiday Weekend as this is a much better than expected report and we got a positive revision to the previous month. So if you put together may and june, 7. 5 million jobs were added to the u. S. Economy. So thats the really good news. I think that people are feeling a little worried because this report only reflects the Employment Situation as of the first half of the month of june and we know since then cases have spiked and there are some municipalities that slowed down the reopening. So theres some concern that this is the best news. Were going to keep our eyes on it, but i think it should be grateful that it does look like the worst of the labor market woes occurred in april and we have moved on beyond that. There are some economists, jill, who are worried that the recovery are starting to level off. I think that thats a concern. Again, this pandemic which we talked about for now three, four months has become a financial and an economic pandemic and the course of the virus is likely to be the thing that actually moves the economy going forward. So if we are going to see lockdowns, if certain states are under financial pressure and they themselves have to lay off workers and that can complicate the market and the ability for the economy to grow in the second half of this year, anthony. The weekly unemployment claims number also came out today, jill. That shows another 1. 4 Million People filing for unemployment in the past week. Thats about what its been for the past three or four weeks which is good because it stabilized, but thats still a very large number. Absolutely, and i think this is a grave concern to Many American workers and lets be clear 1. Llion down whicsrl 7 sal loonother number in this rephichum ofmeri 19 million if you add in the folks that are getting the pandemic assistance from the government thats selfemployed or give workers. Those numbers balloon even further and there is some evidence, anthony, that the claims that have been paid out by states have actually slowed down. That theres an additional 40 billion waiting to be distributed by states and people need those lifelines so we need the states to get their acts together and send that money out. Jill schlesinger, thank you very much, jill. Ahead, wonder years star Danica Mckellar will talk about School Leaders across the country are still working out details on how and if children will return to classrooms this fall or will they learn remotely. Wonder years actress and bestselling author Danica Mckellar has written ten books that are intended to make s. T. E. M. Fun and engaging for children of all ages. Shes out with the times machine. Aims to teach second to fifth graders multiplication and division. I i cant do it. I cant say it. Youve going to have to help with all of it. She joins us from los angeles. My pleasure. Thank you for getting up early with us. So right now we would be in the summer slide. People forget things from school. Now we have the covid slide. How do those slides, those gaps in our learning affect math in particular . My goodness. Its been such a tough year for kids, especially in math. Math is gift from other subjects because its cumulative. If theres one thing that you miss or you forget, it affects a lot of other areas, as well. Its extra tough. Look, my whole goal is to make math as fun and silly and goofy and nonscary as possible for both kids and parents because, face it, in an unprecedented way, parents are responsible for their kids education. I mean, it was just thrown on them. So many parents are saying, i dont know, how am i supposed to do this . I have emails to answer, i have a job, ive got to make dinner. You know, im so happy that this my tenth book, the times machine, is coming out now. Now my math books span all ages, 0 to 16. Im here to help. Yes. Im so thrilled. What im really excited about for the times machine is that learning and multiplication facts is something that is boring, and everybody has to do. But often gets overlooked, especially with holes in the education. I came up with a new way of teaching multiplication, yes, to make it fun. For example, six times seven kwuls 42. Imagine a sixsided block of cheese and mr. Mouse eats that every day for seven days, six times seven, the six sided block of cheese times seven, he gets full and farty, too. Im glad we have a screen shot of the book. Theres a little picture of you there in a comic booik image. Yes. How did you decide on that . Thats the whole point why not teach in the most fun, silly way, with comments and cartoons, time travel. The times machine, we have the time travel. We go to the dinosaurs, we travel all over. And one thing i want to say ents trying to teach kids math, it looks different now. Its different from how when we grew up. Theres other methods and vocabulary terms. In the back of this book and also in the math book which is for first and secondgraders, i have a new math translation guide for grownups in the back. Very helpful indeed. Theyve got to show their work. Your work was different 30 years ago. You know, you mentioned exactly. This book is kind of a replacement for school, and you know something about trying to teach kids from home because ve home son draco from the beginning. Anything you can share for parents trying it for the first time . Yeah. Well, i will say i feel so grateful and lucky that ive been home schooling him this whole time and it hasnt been a big transition. Also grateful that i amassed a lot of tips and tricks and strategies for getting our kids to focus at home, to have fun, have the parents have fun, too. Ill give you tips now. Also ive got all of them on my instagram page. To go to my profile page, the little circle, the highlights, click on learn at home or school at home. And youll find a bunch. One is have your child teach something to one of her or his stuffed animals. This works really well. If drcos not focusing or getting intimidated, ill bring out flappy, the seal he loves. I dont understand, whats going how does there work . He lights up and becomes a teacher. Its amazing. I love that one. Thats a good one. My rule is dont have any toys in the area. Yeah, no toys in the area unless if your child is explaining a concept to a toy. Another is act it out. Right . I was going to say acting out aculd be easy for you, youre an i know. Anything to get it not feel as school as possible, totally works. Im so happy that i get to share tips with you guys and also through my math books, making it silly and fun, goofy. And come to me for any of your questions on social media. Well find you on social media. Its a book thats helpful for kids, also for parents because times have changed. Theyre doing math differently these days, believe it or not. Danica m right now. Ahead in our series on the new normal, the world from home, we go to a beautiful greek island with zero cases of the coronavirus. How theyre concerned now about safety as international t begin to return, though not americans. Well be right back. I like cbs this morning when our series the new normal the world from home. We want to bring the world to you since we know travel is limited this summer. Most of us arent going anywhere. This morning, were going to take you to an island thats untouched by the coronavirus. Yes, there is such a place. Where is it . Greece. Greece is joining other european nations that open for tourism this week. Though americans are not welcome here. Right now anyway. The countrys pandemic Success Story with fewer than 3,500 cases nationwide. Tourists spending accounts were 20 of the economy. How reopening brings hope for revival along with some safety concerns. Reporter good morning. Imagine if you had spent the last few months on an island paradise without a single case of the new coronavirus. Well, here on the island of sciathos, a speck in the aegean sea, they dont have to imagine. For more than 2,000 years, people have lived on sciathos, surviving wars, earthquakes, and even a nazi occupation. They were bracing for the arrival of the new coronavirus. The islands mayor told us, but it never came. What was it like being here and seeing that unfold everywhere else . It was like seeing a movie, a scary movie. Very, very, very difficult to understand whats happening. Reporter now like the rest of greece, sciathos is reopening to tourists from around the world. The First International flights arrived yesterday. Its been strangely empty so far this summer. The island normally gets more than halfli vitor a year wit plenty oattrtions. Parts of the film mama mia were filmed here, and kate hudson and goldie hawn enjoyed its golden sands, posting photos on social media. Very charming. Very charming reporter you mean goldie hawn . Yes, very charming. Unique personality. Reporter the arrivals this week will breathe life into greeces economy, but its a risky business. Covid19 has claimed fewer than 200 lives in this country of around 11 million. Nothing short of a miracle according to some. Experts say greece got the science right, an early lockdown with quarantine for international arrivals. Gs are slowly going back to normal here. But one thing they wont see any time soon is tourists coming here from america. Greece along with the rest of the European Union has decided with infection rates soaring in the u. S. , its simply too dangerous. They opened this Luxury Resort on sciathos two years ago. Catering to the jetset including wealthy americans. Its now almost deserted, and the manager, tommy resapoulous, wants them back. You need four european to make one american. Reporter the americans are big spenders. They are. And theyre spending at hotels which is good for us. Reporter in antry f for its philosophers, the mayor shared this lesson for dealing with the uncertainties of life enjoy every minute every day like its ts your last day, las minute. Reporter some residents told us they did enjoy having the island to themselves for a change. Theyre now overjoyed to be welcoming visitors back, and they hope it will include people coming from the United States in the nottoodistant future. For cbs this morning, Holly Williams on the island of sciatos in greece. Thank you, Holly Williams. Boy, anthony, look at the color of the water. I love greece, i love the food. Theyre saying, guys, do not come here. I get it. What a beautiful place. Yeah. Ill be seeing sciathos in my dreams. I loved the map from the hotel four americans for every four europeans for one american. Yeah. Europeans might be a little upset about that. I never heard that formula before. Thats very interesting. In terms of eat and drink. Were so pentup now it might be, you know, eight europeans for one american. I put groeece in the google map, i cant drive there, gayle. I cant go this summer. I know some americans that want to go. A lot of people hearing about that for the first time. Beautiful place. Tomorrow in our series on the new normal the world from home, what we call it, were going to talk to condenast traveler contributing editor mark ellwood about why 2020 is the year of the roadtrip. Very different than sciatos. Isnt it fun being in the car everybody . Ill go first no. The baby in the back crying to feel safe traveling yes. Now you can feel safe traveling. Theres a way to do that. Before we go, heres a really great story. Were still a few weeks away from the delayed start of major league baseball. But one illinois teenager could not wait. D. J. Missed watching his beloved chicago cubs, so he built a miniature Wrigley Field in his back yard. Its complete with a replica scoreboards, the cubs logo painted on the grass, and even the iconic ivycovered wall. His dad says d. J. And his friends play into the night with the lights shining. The teenager actually started work on the field last year, but he says the pandemic lockdown gave him a chance to make it more elaborate. This summer with everything, the quarantine and the covid19, i just thought that i could make it into something that i really wanted to because ive been a cubs fan my whole life. D. J. Says everyone he knows wants to go or to play at Wrigley Field. So he thought why not bring it to my back yard. Listen, i wish i had friends like him when i was a kid. Thats incredible. That is incredible. A beautiful design. And wiffle ball is one of the greatest games of summer honestly. That has inspired me to go on line tonight and track down a wiffle ball bat.
