The future is here for commercial space flight after the first landing for restaurants in years. But first, heres todays eye opener, your world in 90 seconds. Our state has weathered more than our fair share of storms in recent years. But this time, were going to have to do it with a mask on. All eyes on Tropical Storm isaias. The slowmoving storm churns off the east coast of florida but has set its sight on the carolinas. If something can go wrong, it can. Ramp up your precautions and be ready. The White House Task force coordinator warns the u. S. Is in a new phase of the pandemic. I want to be very clear. What were seeing today is different from march and april.

Bring it back this guy has been doing a lot of this for a long time. He raps and dances. Over a quarter of a million views in hours for that dance. Plus a repost from chris brown himself. Pretty good. Can you do that . No, i cannot. Welcome to cbs this morning. If i was back there in the studio with you, id be moonwalking all over the place. You would beat me. Good to see you, distanced there, vlad. Jericka, good to see you in the studio. We havent seen each other in like six months. Its been a long time. Welcome to cbs this morning. We begin with this. Theres new evidence this morning that the coronavirus is more widespread in america than ever. But we begin with the disasters on both coasts as states already hardhit by the pandemic. Nearly the entire east coast is under threat from Tropical Storm isaias while explosive wildfires are spreading fast in california. The storm has forecast to strengthen into a hurricane today and 115 million americans are under Tropical Weather alerts. Wcbs tv weathercaster lonnie quinn is tracking the storm for us. Where is it headed now . Jericka, its moving to the north at around 9 Miles Per Hour or so. This is what it looks like on our satellite imagery. The center is about 75 miles to the eastnortheast of st. Augustine. Its offshore st. Augustine. So its a tropical strm but a strong one. And if you look at the track, this will become a hurricane some time later today, possibly making a landfall as a category 1 right around the North Carolina South Carolina border. What happens after this is pretty interesting because for the bulk of the time, from, say, 11 00 a. M. Today onward, it stays just inland. So by staying inland, its not allowed to strngten. By being inland is affects more people but the storm itself is weaker. If it was just offshore, it would get stronger but fewer people would be affected and it makes its way and holds on to Tropical Storm status into maine. With that track i just showed you, who gets what . It has a short life span as a category 1 hurricane. So the hurricane warning is really only from the area south of myrtle beach to the area just north of wilmington, North Carolina. Thats a small area. Its a huge area shaded in white for Tropical Storm alerts. They extend from the north coast of florida up into maine. In fact, the entire state of New Hampshire is under a Tropical Storm watch. Thats not a typical thing. And the area shaded in green to the west, keep in mind, Tropical Storm watch will talk about wind and rain. If its just rain youre looking at, and the rain field could be much larger, the entire state of vermont is under a flash flood alert and that extends down into the inland areas of South Carolina. So you were saying this figure of 115 Million People are affected. And this is the reason why the storm, once it moves inland from around the North Carolina South Carolina border is going to travel along the i95 corridor. Jeff, thats the latest. Ill have more as it comes in. Thank you, lonnie. This storm is making it more difficult to fight the coronavirus in the carolinas and florida. Our lead National Correspondent David Begnaud is in st. Augustine, florida. Whats happening there . Look, the wind is moving at about 33 Miles Per Hour but the sky is starting to open up. The clouds are separating. Theres no rain, and other than some impressive waves, theres really nothing to speak of. The state of florida has dodged a bullet. Driving yesterday from miami to st. Augustine, we didnt see much more than a sprinkle yesterday. The majority of the storm has remained offshore. And thats what this state needed as they manage Hurricane Season in the middle of a pandemic. Video shows Tropical Storm isaias lashing part of the winds and rough waves. But the state was largely spared. I never figured it was coming ashore anyway. Reporter now isaias is marching toward the carolinas where it is expected to make landfall. We know how to plan, prepare and respond when its over. Nothing about that has changed. But this time, were going to have to do it with a mask on. Reporter isaias is somewhat complicating the efforts to contain covid19. Spread of the virus is a concern at hurricane shelters. Back in florida, scores of drivethrough and walkup testing sites were shut down across the state over fears that the tents set up at the testing sites would be blown away by Tropical Storm or Hurricane Force winds. As isaias is moving north, so is the virus. Listen to dr. Scott gottlieb, the former commissioner of the fda. As the sunbelt states are declining were seeing infection rates pick up. The cdc is sooith a projection that more than 18,000 coronavirus deaths will happen in the next three weeks. And dr. Deborah birx of the White House Coronavirus task force is warning the nations outbreak is entering a new phase. What were seeing today ais different from march and april. Its extraordinarily widespread. Its into the rural as equal urban areas, and to everybody who lives in a rural area, you are not immune or protected from this virus. But some americans appear unfazed by the virus. Video from the weekend shows nearly 1,000 people at this boat party in east peoria, illinois. Officials in nashville are now investigating this large house party where people were seen crowded together without masks. Robert livingston in morristown, tennessee, wasnt big on wearing masks. Then he contracted the virus. I was healthy, a 27yearold, and it absolutely kicked my butt. Stupid not to wear a mask. Reporter livingston developed pneumonia and ended up in the hospital for three days leaving of behind his pregnant wife and their four little girls. Hes urging people to listen to the experts. If i had to do it over again, id definitely be wearing a mask. If i wasnt in a hospital and i had to do this laying in my bed, do i think i would live through it . Probably not. Reporter you know what he says changed his perspect sniff conversations with the doctors and nurses at the hospital who counseled him on wearing a mask. Friends, the doctors have been saying it for months. We should all be wearing a mask. Listen, back here in florida, theyre starting to open up some shelters not shelters but testing sites down south, vlad, in miamidade and broward counties. Some of the federal testing sites are reopening today. They are ready to receive you. Good advice there, David Begnaud in florida. Thank you very much. Hot and dry weather in Southern California is fueling a dangerous outofcontrol wildfire. It has burned more than 30 square miles and destroyed at least one home about 70 miles east of los angeles. Carter evans is near the scene in cherry valley, california. Good morning. So far, almost 8,000 people have had to evacuate. You can see the fire burning up on the mountain behind me right now. Not much wind. That is good news for firefighters. But fighting fires and keeping people safe in the era of covid is proving to be a challenge. Flames continue to tear through trees and dry brush on hillsides in Riverside County as winds picked up giving the apple fire new life. Given the fuel, given the weather, given the topography and where this is going, this fire is not going to stop tonight. Reporter as of late sunday, only a small number of the thousands under evacuation orders have come to this red cross shelter. Perhaps unaware theyll be given hotel vouchers. Folks that are not taking advantage of it because theyre obviously concerned about covid19, we have measures in place for that. We planned for this months ahead. As the fire moved through rough terrain sunday afternoon, the battle turned primarily into an air assault as temperatures topped 90 degrees. Over the weekend, the fire headed towards homes and has not let up. At least one was destroyed. Fixed wing aircraft dropped fire retardant joined by waterdropping helicopters. And firefighters on the ground were to clear brush. One time they had like 40 fire trucks up here. So there was a fire truck at like every other house. Reporter this is the first major wildfire in Southern California since the pandemic began. Just one more concern for People Living here. Im picking up my mom and my kids. And we have to like move them out of the house. We are just praying for the best. Reporter this fire actually started as two fires that merged into one, but firefighters are making progress. About 5 contained right now. And both fires are being investigated for arson. Carter, thank you. The search for seven missing marines and one navy sailor off california has been called off. All eight are presumed dead. Their vessel called an Amphibious Assault vehicle sank during a Training Exercise last week. It carries marines from ship to shore. Eight marines were rescued after the incident. One later died and two are in critical condition. They were based at camp pendleton. Those who were killed range in age from 19 to 23 years old. President trump is halting his plan to shut down the Popular Video app tiktok in the u. S. Reuters reports the president will give the chineseowned platsform 45 days to sell its u. S. Operations to microsoft. Tiktok claims to have 100 million american users. Weijia jiang is at the white house with more on this. Reporter good morning. President trump can add tiktoks Parent Company to a list of foreign entities that present a threat to national security. Last year, the government added bytedance which owns tiktok, and opened an investigation into them. Branches of the military have already banned the app from governmentissued phones. If that microsoft deal falls through it could impact millions more american users right here in the u. S. Its the worlds newest social media sensation. You cant let me know where youre going because you cant say it. So what we going to do about that . Reporter tic tok is home to viral dance challenges. Silly videos. Who is funnier . Reporter and celebrity cameos. But the wildly popular app has become a source of bipartisan concern over its chinese ownership. All the data that goes into those mobile apps that kids have so much fun with and seem so convenient, it goes right to servers in china, right to the chinese military. The Chinese Communist party. I have been very opposed to tiktok. I was one of the first to expose the chinese links. And i have urged that tiktok be closed down in america. Reporter tiktok disputes the security concerns and said in a statement that u. S. User data is scored in the u. S. With strict controls on employee access. Were building the safest app because we know its the right thing to do. Reporter tiktok says its biggest investors come from the u. S. And has committed to hiring 10,000 americans in the coming years. The app has recently become a platform for some antitrump activists. Were doing very well in oklahoma. Reporter in june, some users led a coordinated effort to disrupt president Trumps Campaign rally in tulsa. By encouraging people to register for the event online but not show up. We may be banning tiktok. We may be doing some other things. Reporter and comedian sarah cooper gained a massive social media following with her videos mocking the president s speeches and interviews. Were closing in on a solution. Reporter mr. Trumps closest advisers claim any action, including the sale of the app to a u. S. Company, would better protect the personal data of millions of americans. For a long time, the United States just said, well, goodness if were having fun with it or if a company can make money off it well permit that to happen. President trump has said enough, and were going to fix it. Reporter china responded to secretary pompeos remarks this morning saying its firmly opposed to any u. S. Actions against Chinese Software companies. Meanwhile, microsoft says its acquisition of the app is still subject to a, quote, complete security review. Vlad . Weijia jiang at the white house, thank you very much. The white house and Congressional Democrats are blaming each other for not working out a new coronavirus stimulus bill. More talks are scheduled today. Republicans have offered to extend 600 a week Unemployment Benefits for one week during the negotiations. They still want to cut those federal payments to 200 a week. Democrats say they dont want any shortterm deal. Some 30 million americans received enhanced jobless benefits until they ended on friday. The u. S. Is not alone in facing a surge in coronavirus cases. There have now been more than 18 million confirmed cases around the world. Recent spikes have forced many governments to shut things back down or reconsider their plans for the immediate future. Elizabeth palmer reports from london. In australias second largest city, melbourne, the streets overnightserted as the government declared a state of disaster. There was a sharp spike in covid cases. In this city of 5 million, only one person per household can go out to shop and police are enforcing an hour a day limit on exercise and a strict dusk to dawn curfew. Where you slept last night is where youll need to stay for the next six weeks, premier Daniel Andrews said. You will be stopped, and you will be asked, and you will need to demonstrate that you are lawfully out and that you are not breaching that curfew. Reporter in europe, too, theres been an uptick of covid. The french have set up testing stations at airports. And so have the germans, though over the weekend there was pushback. Right wing demonstrators fed up with restrictions marched in berlin demanding what they called their freedom. In saudi arabia, the annual hajj to hemecca would have sent case skyrocketing so they slashed the number of pilgrims aloud from more than 2 million last year to a cautious, spaced out 10,000. Only the moscow authorities look out of step. With roughly the same number of new covid cases as melbourne, they let a Half Marathon go ahead. The 9,000 runners would be encouraged to social distance, they said, which worked out about as well as you might expect. Its now been six months since the World Health Organization declared coronavirus a Global Health emergency. And just this morning its head said there is no Silver Bullet to stop it. At least yet.

Welcome back to cbs this morning. Today parents, students, and teachers in dozens of cities plan to take part in a socalled national day of resistance. They are demanding School Buildings only reopen when science says its safe. Over the weekend, parents in georgia protested on the opposite side. They demanded facetoface classes for their children. This all comes as hundreds of districts that were planning to reopen reportedly reversed course. Some schools that have reopened have already had kids test positive. In one case, it was on the first day back. Meg oliver spoke to School Superintendents across the country. Good morning. Reporter good morning. Like many across the country, officials here in new jersey are trying to balance a sense of safety and a sense of normality. As you can see, fall sports started practicing a few weeks ago with temperature checks and masks. As they look forward to the future, School Leaders are working overtime to try and make sure they can return to inperson learning. As the resistance grows, theyre hoping its not a waste of time. So how many people can sit in the cafeteria now . Socially distanced we can fit about 60 to 70 students. Reporter you used to have close to 300 . Correct. Reporter principal Matt Thompson has spent hours reconfiguring his high school in morris plains, new jersey, to become back about 1,100 students in september. This is measuring off every three feet which means we can fit students on either end and one in the middle. Theres three students at one table as opposed to in the past we could fit about 12. Reporter why is it important to reopen schools . I think its important the students want a sense of normalcy. Reporter the district has prepared to reopen with an alternating schedule. Half the students will attend in person one week, then remotely the next. Will you have electives like art and chorus and band . Yes. Some of the challenges are similar to science in that youre having students handle multiple materials. So we have to think of ways around that. Band will probably be outside as much as possible. When theyre inside, were going to use large spaces like the auditorium. People were beginning to worry because they saw case counts in other parts of the country go up, as well. Reporter in philadelphia, superintendent dr. William hite says fear from some forced them to change from a hybrid plan to an alldigital model. It was importance to make this decision now because individuals need to plan for the school year. Were trying to create dropin centers so families and essential workers have a place for their young people to go. And those places will have internet access. Reporter about 100 miles outside chicago, p. J. Caposey, superintendent of meridian 223, is nervous about reopening in two weeks. But the thing that keeps me up at night is the health and wellness of our students and staff and that if i make a decision or lead the board down a road thats too aggressive, that we could be, you know, literally putting someones life at risk. And that is a burden that i did not assume that was going to be part of my Job Description when i became a superintendent. Reporter the debate over whether to open schools has divided the country. Many teachers are scared. [ chants ] while this weekend, parents rallied in georgia calling for schools to reopen, worried their children will fall behind, in new jersey superintendent dr. Sergeant says its impossible to please everyone. Ill have moments where i really think that our planning is going well and im feeling confident about things. And then typically something will wake me up in the middle of the night. Reporter on a scale of one to ten, what is the chance that youll reopen . I unfortunately think its very low. I think a one. Reporter a one . Uhhuh. Aleppo h reporter he would that feel after the work to reopen . As much as this is a tremendous leadership challenge, and i say that in a positive way, of just working through the scenarios and thinking through how to do this well, its also time that we could be spending preparing for Distance Learning, helping our teachers to really be solid, remote teachers. And its unfortunate that were not able to devote our time to that because were doing this. We may be doing this, and it wont even happen. Reporter sergeant says she hopes that make a decision sooner rather than later so families can plan. But ultimately she knows it can come down to the state eaven at the last minute with a change of plans. Thank you. Just no easy solution to this. Really isnt.

Crew dragons fiery plummet into earths atmosphere reached temperatures of around 3,500 degrees. Blacking out communications for about six minutes. In mission control, spacex founder elon musk, front row center, waited anxiously to hear from the crew. Dragon spacex com check.

And thanks for flying spacex. God you know, im not very religious, but i prayed for this one. The last of the reporter not since 1975 have american astronauts returned to earth with a water landing. Right on time and just about right on target. Reporter but apollo splashdowns never looked like this. And you are seeing a few more boats than expected. Reporter more than a dozen recreational boaters swarmed the capsule, ignoring coast guard warnings as crews tried to recover it and the astronauts inside. Something like there just really can endanger all the whole thing. Reporter nasa administrator jim bridenstine. That was not what we were anticipating. The boats just made a beeline for it. There are things that were going to look at that we can do better next time. Reporter dragon looked like a giant charred marshmallow as it was hoisted aboard a spacex recovery ship. Behnken and hurley were pulled from the hatch. All okay. Liftoff reporter before their launch in may, we talked to them both about the mission. It will open a new era, commercial spaceflight.

Here are a few stories we think youll be talking about today we are remembering wellknown character actor Wilford Brimley. Did you ever play organized ball in your life . I just got back in the game. What does that mean . I used to play in high school. Excuse me . I used to play in high school. Fred, he used to play in high school. Thats nice. Love that movie. That is brimley in the natural from 1984 starring Robert Redford and one of his many movies. Brimley died saturday in a utah hospital after battling illness. He was 85. He was also famous for his quaker oats commercials telling viewers its the right thing to do. Brimley never actually trained as an actor. His other roles included the wa wall tons and our house. I remember when he was a scary character and cocoon where he played a retiree. Yeah, jeff, in cocoon, Wilford Brimley was 49 years old when he played that retiree in cocoon. I am not going to tell you how old i am right now. Its that that is crazy to think about. And the stash he was sporting recently. And later in life, the diabetes commercials that he would also be a spokesperson for. Im sure he will be missed. I know you have other news. Talking about how the coronavirus is still shaking up the sports world. Indeed it is, jericka. Philly eagles head coach Doug Petersen is quarantining and the keep says he has no symptoms. Major League Baseball reportedly expects more positive tests from the st. Louis cardinals. At least six people with the team tested positive over the weekend including three players. And new york mets slugger surprised everyone when he opted out of the 2020 season over concerns. Yoenis cespedes did not show up for the game. The team learned of his decision after the game started. The mets say he is healthy, and the team supports his decision. But this is really worrisome for a lot of players on all the teams that were tracking including football and baseball. Now theyve got a how muead coat is scary. He had issues with the team and doesnt show up. It will be interesting to see whether baseball can continue. Enough games have been postponed already. Also a missing teenager case that had a miracle ending. This is a wonderful story. 18yearold gia fuda was missing for nine days in a wooded area east of seattle before she was found alive.

Im Gianna Franco from the traffic center. Lets update the Traffic Alert we have had our eye on. Eastbound 580, and not too far from grant line. Thats the countercommute into the altamonte pass. Lanes were blocked, and they opened at least one left lane and the traffic is snarled in the area, both directions eastbound and westbound, and slightly improving on the westbound side, and slow and go going through there. Going about ten miles an hour, trying to take the service streets if you can, and not a lot of options in the area. Drive times 205, 680, along 58 0, and slow into the city. Its going to be hot today again inland. The spread of 94 for the inland locations to the low 70s for the bay. Tomorrow, we are going to cool it all down. You can see only going to 84 inland on tuesday, and its only 77 by its monday, august 3rd, 2020. Welcome quaback to cbs this morning. Threatening path. Tropical storm isaias rips up danger along the east coast. What it means for tens of millions dealing with the pandemic. Bidens edge, what a new poll says about two key Battle Ground states plus when his running mate could be announced. And workplace anxiety. Tips on how to reduce stress as more americans are required to go back to the office during the pandemic. First, heres todays eye opener at 8 00. Nearly the entire east coast is underthreat from Tropical Storm isaias. Wildfires are spreading in california. Its a Tropical Storm. If you look at the track, we believe this will become a hurricane later today. Possibly making a land fall as a category 1. The state to have florida has dodged a bullet. The majority of the storm has remained offshore and thats what this state needed as they manage Hurricane Season in the middle of a pandemic. Hot and dry weather in Southern California is fueling a dangerous out of control wildfire. Not much wind. That is good news for firefighters. But fighting fires and keeping people safe in the era of covid is proving to be a challenge. President trump can add tiktoks Parent Company to a list of foreign entities that present a threat to national security. China responded saying it is firmly opposed to any u. S. Actions against chinese companies. A spiral par core video. Oh, no. Well show you what your body can do. What if he slips . No. Dont. He looks like a video game character. That is true. Thats insane. It is. Guys, whenever i see those videos, i think to myself, i could do that. Running around. But then i dont think so. That takes a lot of coordination. I think i cant. I dont know about that, vlad. Thank you, va rjericka. Well try. We begin this hour with the Tropical Storm isaias as it puts more than 100 Million People in potential danger on the east coast. Right now the storm is off the eastern coast of florida packing winds of 70 Miles Per Hour and dropping heavy rain. Forecasters say the storm is expected to restrengthen back into a return before making land fall. Tropical storm warnings and watches are in effect along nearly the entire east coast. This video shows Hurricane Hunters inside the storm. We begin our coverage with our lead National Correspondent in st. Augustine, florida. How are conditions looking there right now . Things have really quieted down since i last saw you an hour ago. The wind was gusting at about 33 Miles Per Hour. Its died down a bit. The waves are still roaring. Even that seems to be smaller. Were in st. Augustine. Its about halfway between Daytona Beach and jacksonville on the east coast. The storm is about 75 miles offshore from where we are. And i have to tell you this has been a big nothing burger as we call it. Essentially the state of florida dodged a bullet. Lets show the video. There was a little bit, if you will, damage, impressive video out of jupiter, florida. Part of the concern with this storm is how it would impact people in conjunction with the pandemic. Thankfully not many had to head to shelters. There were some state and federalrun testing sites in the state of florida that started to close down last thursday. So the issue is youve had the last three or four days with florida not generating a lot of test results that they would have otherwise gotten had those Testing Facilities been open. The good news is because the storm has basically spared the state of florida, they are starting to reopen some of the testing sites. If you live in florida, make sure you check your local areas to see which ones are going to be reopening today. As it pertains to the storm, it is expected to strengthen, restrengthen into a hurricane later tonight, maybe overnight into tomorrow. As of this morning, there are evacuation orders underway for coastal communities in North Carolina. Some of those evacuation orders are mandatory. Others are voluntary, and President Trump has already issued a disaster declaration for North Carolina. Freeing up some federal resources that will help them as they get ready for this hurricane. All right. David for us in florida. David, as always, we thank you. For more on where isaias is headed, lets go to lonnie quinn of wcbs tv. David said this is a lot of nothing for florida. Florida has been through bigger storms than this. St. Augustine, but its more like jacksonville. Its moving north. A little over 10 Miles Per Hour. If you look at the circulation, it looks like the center would be up in the big shade of red approaching charleston. The wind shows us its offshore of jacksonville. So its south of where you see the big convection. What does the storm hold as it moves . We think it could be a category one as it makes land fall around the North Carolina, South Carolina border. But the carolinas, youve also been through bigger storms than this. But lets tell you what you get out of it. For wilmington, 4 to 6 inches of rain. 2 00 to 3 00 in the morning. Winds 60 to 80 Miles Per Hour. You could deal with Hurricane Force winds. Then raleigh, 5 to 8 inches. Winds at 30 to 40 Miles Per Hour. It hold onto a Tropical Storm status as it pushes into washington d. C. , 6 to 9 inches of rain. Thats the biggest rainfall total. 6 00 a. M. Tuesday until 5 00 p. M. On tuesday, winds 20 to 30 Miles Per Hour. It looks like it wants to roll over new york city with 3 to 5 inches of rain, winds 45 to 65 Miles Per Hour. A number of people affected by the storm. Its not the biggest one weve had, but a lot of people affected by it. Back to you. Thank you. New poll numbers give joe biden a lead in North Carolina and georgia. They are states that voted republican in the last two president ial elections. Our Battle Ground tracker puts biden four points ahead of President Trump in North Carolina and one point ahead in georgia. Biden is unlikely to announce his vshl pick this week but he is expected to narrow the list. Ed okeefe joins us with more on this. Ed, we mentioned North Carolina and georgia. I want to talk about texas for a minute. You have new reporting on this. This is a big organized play by the Biden Campaign in texas. Bigger than usual. Democrat hasnt bun texas since jimmy carter did it. In this case the Biden Campaign has seen enough to suggest they have a shot at that states 38 electoral votes. Theyre putting a team in place to try to win the state. Again, thats still a big if. It is a challenge, obviously. Part of this could be tactical in hopes of having the Trump Campaign and republicans spend more money in texas and divert the money from other states. The way the biden team sees it, they consider texas a Battle Ground state along with other places in play. How much impact does the v. P. Pick have in the Battle Ground states . You know, traditionally it doesnt have much of an impact. The only time it had an adverse impact on the candidate was sarah palin back in 2008. There were concerns over the course of the campaign that she perhaps was not ready for the role and that john mccain miscalcula miscalculated. Usually theyre not there to cause any big bump or any real decline in the ratings. The hope here is that his pick can help inspire the democratic base, the younger voters, women, minorities, that biden is going to need to turn out, and theres extra sensitivity because biden given his 77 years would be the oldest man elected president , conceivably he has not committed necessarily to running for a second term. So whoever we picks could be put in place to succeed him or to run in 2024 should he take a pass. So a lot more sensitivity and interest in this, and of course the fact that hes vowed to pick a woman. Joe biden said this week, but now its been moved back to next week . The announcement is now expected next week, yes. But we expect it in the coming few days here hes going to start interviewing some of these potential picks himself. We dont know if thats going to be in person. At a social distance or over zoom. But it is expected that he will spend the next few days trying to sort this out. Next week, two weeks from today im scheduled to be in milwaukee for the start of the Democratic National convention, whatever thats going to look like. So the hope is they will use next week, the hope among democrats, to introduce this running mate and get that person ready for the following week when they in essence make their debut. Kamala harriss name has been floated most often as the front runner. Any reason to believe thats not the case right now . No, she remains in the mix as far as we can tell. One of the more better known battletested picks on that list give than she ran herself for president last year. She has been elected statewide in the nations largest state california. There are concerns about the fact that last summer in that first debate she went after biden about his record on bussing and race concerns about his civil rights record generally. Both say theyve reconciled since then. They can see beyond that. But there areat lot of people close to biden who say that her decision to do that last summer is indicative to the possibility that she wouldnt necessarily be loyal. Beyond her, of course, youre looking at people like elizabeth warren, his former rival. Susan rice and a host of other lawmakers and governors lesser known but who have seen their profiles rise over the last several weeks. Ed, thank you. The moving response of a neighborhood after a man said he was afraid to walk alone because much more news ahead.

Antiracism advocates say the products promote toxic beauty ideals, some corporations including loreal and Johnson Johnson are now promising to discontinue or rename their lines of lightening creams. Cbs news Foreign Correspondent imtiaz tyab shows why some say renaming is not enough. Reporter good morning. Well, skinlightening creams are more widely available than you might think. At this black and south asian Beauty Supply store, youll find plenty of products which promise to whiten skin and brighten lives. Part of this lighterisbetter started of beauty that even a former miss america couldnt escape. Miss new york [ cheers ] reporter never in her wildest dreams did nina davalure think shed be crowned miss america. Im so proud to be the first indian miss america. [ applause ] reporter but not everyone was celebrating her barrierbreaking win i was born in syracuse, new york. Go, orange reporter in india where her family emigrated from, her complexion was being dissected. The morning after i won miss america and woke up to an indian headline that said is miss america too dark to be miss india. Reporter she says criticism of her darker skin tone is part of an ugly concept known as colorism. What is colorism . The idea that fair skin is better than darker skin. The idea that white is considered more elite than darker skin complexions. And that inherently in itself is racism. Nivea central reporter ads like these are shown across africa, asia, and the middle east. Helping to fuel a demand for skinlightening products like these branded white perfect. White glow and white beauty. The agents that can reduce medical anyone content. Some if used incorrectly can damage the skin.

Promoting the idea that lighter skin is beautiful skin. My grandmother used to use it, and so my mom saw it. Saw it normalized and thought it was the thing to do. Reporter stephanie is a british author. Youve written that at 14 years old, you began what you called a toxic love affair with skinwhitening creams. Yeah. I started lightening my skin because i thought, well, if i can alleviate one of the things that makes me have no privilege, which was my skin color, i thought that i could do a bit better in life. [ chants ] reporter the beauty industrys experiencing a racial reckoning following black lives matter protests. Cosmetic giants are being accused of hypocrisy for claiming to stand against racism while at the same time promoting whiteness. In a statement, Johnson Johnson said it will no longer sell two skinlightening locations, loreal said its removing the words white, fair, and light from its products. 95ias Parent Company niveas parent customer said it would remove whitening and fair, while unilever is changing fair and lovely to glow and lovely. Is renaming products enough . They need to ban the products. They dont need to reflaname it. I dont see what renaming is going to do when the intended product is the same. The person is still going to be lighter. Reporter shes come a long way from hating her skin to living it. Something thats led her to body positivity activism as a social media influencer. What do you want to say to girls today . I would say first and foremost, you are beautiful, your skin is beautiful, your skin tells such a beautiful, deep story from your ancestors back in africa to now. Theres such a huge history there that you have coated around you. You should be proud of that. Reporter both say corporations really need to get rid of products like these. And also that communities of color need to let go of these longheld standards of beauty so that everybody can love the skin theyre in no matter the shade. For cbs this morning, imtiaz tyab, london. A good report there. I did a lot of reporting on this when i was a Foreign Correspondent in africa.

A marine yer comes welcome back to cbs this morning. It is time to bring you some of the stories that are the talk of the table this morning. This is where we each pick a story that share with each other and all of you. So jeff, you are in pole postion, my friend. Thank you so much. Were going to start with this italys Oldest University graduate, graduating at 96. Look at him. Good man. Great. The retired Railway Worker enrolled at the university of palermo three years ago. He completed his undergraduate degree in history and philosophy finishing at the top of his class. He used a manual typewriter to write essays and preferred printed books to google for studying. He says he grew up loving books, never had a chance to study as much when he was younger. I love what he said knowledge is like a suitcase that i carry with me. Its a treasure. Very inspiring. Vlad, over to you. I love that. Yeah. I love that story. And as a career changer myself, somebody who late in life decided to make a change, i can totally relate. Although not that late in life. I have to say. So guys, i wanted to celebrate the life of James Baldwin. The american author, essayist, historian, poet and thinker would have turned 96 yesterday. And what i love about James Baldwin is he had such a profound influence on my life, especially when i read go tell it on the mountain and the fire next time, his 1963 book he wrote as letters to his 14yearold nephew on the his insights into the future of Race Relations here in the United States. Take a listen to what he had to say the future of the negro in this country is precisely as bright or as dark as the future of the country. It is entirely up to the American People and our representativ representatives, it is entire up to the American People, whether or not theyre going to face and deal with and embrace the stranger who they maligned so long. That clip was from the Public Television program the negro and the american promise. Baldwin also wrote this is why i picked this quote because ive been ruminating on it for the last couple of months. He wrote, it is certain in any case that ignorance allied with power is the most ferocious enemy justice can have. What i love about his life and times and his writings is that a lot of it is still so very relevant today. It is. Its amazing to watch to go back and watch the clips. It is. And i saw a lot of people trending yesterday. It made me think of, you know, he said so many good things. Which would like, i like not everything that is space can be changed, but nothing can be changed until it is faced. We will remember James Baldwin. And hopefully the generations beyond will, too. So my pick for today, were looking at concerns about returning to the was on during this pandemic. According to linkedin, more than twothirds of working professionals say their workplaces are now open. Nearly onethird say they are required to return. But a majority, 57 , say they are not comfortable doing so. We spoke to a fitness instructor, a teacher, and a former corporate pr manager who shared their concerns about going back to their workplaces. Stretch, down im a fitness professional. When gyms opened back up, i had some concerns about my health and safety. We were expected to return to work during covid for 75 of our wages. And it felt like a real devaluing of life. My feeling in going back to the classroom is nervousness. I have three children, my position was eliminated. And my corporate job represented a significant portion of our Family Income and our health care. The scary thought occurred to me of what happens if we go back in person and one of my students gets sick. And maybe even dies. Am i prepared to handle Something Like that . No. With knowing that schools going to be virtual and i have a specialneeds learner, it makes it very difficult for me to go look for another Fulltime Position not knowing what the cultu companys policies will be. Covid has made just living really anxiety inducing. In our new normal series, were looking at how the coronavirus is changing our lives every day and how we can reduce anxiety about going back to the workplace. Were joined by linkedin editor at large caroline fairchild. She joins what assurances should employees have as they get ready to go back to work . What assurances can the Companies Give the employees . Sure. We did a survey of workers across the country. Employees are looking for employers to create policies to make sure a return to work is safe. A vast majority of employers are requiring that their workers wear a mask all day in the was on. Many are banning inperson meetings. And theres also staggered starts. You might not get to the was on at the same time as your colleagues. All of these are a way to make sure that as was ons reopen, workers are feeling safe. Were seeing a lot of stress and anxiety as workers are asked to return to work. You spoke with lots of workers across industries. Employers have toi think about how to make workers safe and continue production in the was on. Aside from wearing the masks which even our crew here, theyre all wearing masks, we make sure that were maintaining socialing, what are some of the social distancing, what are some of the specific concerns youre hearing from parents . Parents are telling us since the beginning of this pandemic that working productively from home has been a huge challenge. Over onethird of the workers we surveyed in a recent survey told us they havent felt productive at home while balancing childcare. The rub is there is that a return to was on may not solve some of these problems. Over 30 of working parents told us if they had to return to the was on tomorrow, they wouldnt have Childcare Options available. And get this 60 of workers are saying that their employers are not allowing them to make accommodations in their schedule to make up for the fact that schools may not reopen and they dont have client options available. This is a big concern. I put a post on linkedin last week and within an hour heard from hundreds of working parents like some that you spoke with. Theyre saying theres so much stress and anxiety, they dont know what to do. Theyre having to have critical conversations with their manager about really what is next and how they can continue to be productive during this new normal. What does the data reveal about women in particular and balancing work and childcare at the same time . Millennial women have been disproportionately affected by this crisis. We know this by looking at linkedin data and hiring data as well as whos applying for jobs now. If you think of Millennial Women, these are the women most likely to have young kids at home right now. And theyre getting hired at a slower rate than their male peer class is concerning, particularly in tech, finance, media. Industries that are struggling with hiring women before and now hiring even fewer during the pandemic. Weve seen Millennial Women apply to jobs at a slower rate. That probably has a lot to do with the fact that as one working mother rode wrote, she default parent during this pandemic. Shes taking on a vast majority of the childcare needs. If employers dont figure out how to make accommodations for working parents, its going to have a longterm impact on all of their careers. You have people on the other side that are not as fearful and eager to go back to work. What are you hearing from those people . Sure. So we looked at data across industries, and construction workers are actually funny enough, theyre excited about the prospect of returning to work. That probably has a lot to do with the fact there are lots of safety procedures on job sites already to make sure that social distance is maintained. And workers are safe. Retail workers, as you can imagine, are the most hesitant to return to work because of all the touch points with customers. Jobs, theyre switching a lot of what they do into remote work. Telehealth is switching a lot to remote now as well as administrative roles. And learning, education roles. Were seeing a lot of postings on linkedin for elearning options. Adaptation thats are happening so workers are still less time in the was on and seeing across industries a gamut of different feelings about returning to work. And obviously people need money. They need to go back to work eventually. What do you tell the folks who are really concerned about saying something to their employee about their concerns and maybe even fearful that they could lose their job if they complain or have real concerns about returning . Id say to that employee that leaders really have to lead with empathy right now. The numberone trait that we see experts saying that managers and employers need to think about is empathetic leadership. That means putting yourself in the shoes of your employee. If you think about it, if you have a worker who is anxious and nervous about the prospects of returning to work, theres no way theyre going to be productive. Were seeing a lot of employers make accommodations, bring more flexibility to the job to make sure that employees feel safe and can be productive. Go to your manager with a clear proposal. If theyre anxious about the fact that your team is going to be the was on and youre going to continue to work from home, address that head on and say, ill do more video calls, ill send an email at the end of the day letting you know what ive been doing, ill give you access to my calendar. There are ways that we can continue to work from home and do so productively. Weve made it work this long. So good luck to everyone out there trying to make it work. Caroline fairchild, thank you so much for helping us understand it all.
