Donald trump claims the report is proof of a pay for play scheme, nancy cordes looks at the new charges dogging the nominee. Nancy, good morning. Reporter good morning. Pthis report is creating new perception problems for the Clinton Campaign and the state department, which has been arguing for days that Foundation Donors got no special treatment by secretary clinton. Clinton herself hasnt weighed in on the controversy, because she spent most of the past three days out of the public eye. Courting Campaign Donors in california. Lie after lie after lie. Hillary clinton is totally unfit to hold public office. In austin, trump accused the clintons of running a criminal enterprise. It is impossible to figure out where the Clinton Foundation ends and the state department begins. He cited the new analysis by the Associated Press, which examines Hillary Clintons daily schedules as secretary of state and found 85 of the 154 private individuals who got meetings or phone calls with her had donated to the foundation. Either personally or through their organization. This is why i have called for a special prosecutor to look into this mess. Reporter his allies, followed suit. A special prosecutor will do the right thing, appoint a special prosecutor. Reporter the Clinton Campaign fired back, saying the ap relied on utterly flawed data. They added that meetings with humanitarians like melissa gaits were squarely in the purview of americas top diplomat. They rejected trumps call for a special prosecutor. It is an act of desperation, given the turmoil weve seen in recent weeks. Reporter newly released emails from huma abedin show slim fast, were able to have last minute meeting with one call to huma abedin. There is no evidence they got any special favors. The fbi director declined to say last month whether agents have looked into the foundation connection. Im not going to comment. Im not going to answer that. Reporter the term special prosecutor strikes fear in the hearts of long time clintonites, like when ken nth are starr was appointed to look into the controversy, including paula jones, Monica Lewinsky and bill clintons impeachment. Nancy, thanks. Donald trump is now publicly going back and forth on the illegal immigration issue. He told a tv town hall that he may be willing to soften his plan for mass deportations. Then he made immigration the centerpiece of a rally last night in texas. Major garrett in philadelphia, where he asked trumps vicepresident ial candidate to explain the goal. Major, good morning. Reporter good morning. Donald trump has gone from calling the immediate deportation of all undocumented immigrants to reviewing and looking at options, anything about that exact policy. Where trump will ultimately land is anyones guess. We asked his running mate and he told us, details could be days, possibly months away. Hillary clinton wants to fling open the floodgates to our borders. Let everybody come in. Open up our country. Reporter donald trump warned of his rivals immigration policy even as he redesigned his own. Your children did not die in vein. Reporter appearing with mothers victimized. She wants to let people overstay their visas without removal. One lawless order after another. Reporter despite his repeated calls for mass deportations, trump now signals he may make exceptions. Weve got great people in this country. Reporter during a town hall, he said what has been obvious for days, he is looking for a way out of rounding up 11 million immigrants. There could be a softening. Reporter we sought clarity from trumps running mate, mike pence, following a rally in philadelphia. Is donald trump going to deport all 11 million undocumented immigrants in this country . Donald trump has been very clear from the beginning. We are going to secure our borders, build a wall to do it. And he has also made it clear that hell enforce the laws of the country, which the president of the United States takes an oath of office to do. That means deporting all 11 Million People . People who have run afoul of the law have to leave immediately. Upholding the laws is what donald trump will do. The details in how we do that, well work that out with congress. Reporter during a section of that televised town hall due to air tonight, he signalled to voters around the country are asking him to find a way to work with immigrants who have not broken the law. This of course was the position articulated by many of trumps rivals, and one he scorned. Thats why they call it a general election pivot. All right, major, thank you so much. John heilemann, cohost and executive producer of the circuit, which returns on show time, a division of cbs. John, good morning. Im going to be pivoting all over the place. Its glass. Lets start with a serious story, which suggests the pay for play scenario. Half of the people Hillary Clinton met with were also donors to the Clinton Foundation, now the Clinton Campaign says it was based on utterly flawed data. What is your take . Lets be clear. The ap story says the numbers are based on only the calendars that have been released to them so far. The Clinton Campaign says, oh, there were a lot more meetings they took that the ap didnt know about. It could be a fair dispute, but based on what theyve seen, it is a high proportion. It suggests to use your word, norah, a pay for play. What does suggest mean, what does play mean. It is clear that access, that people who gave money to the foundation, were able to access secretary clinton. The Clinton Campaigns response is so what. Access means nothing. Were any policies changed. Thats the line in the sand they want to draw. For some people, who care about Good Government and our ethics watchdogs, the access being bought is a sin on to itself. Other people say hey, if no policies were changed, who cares. We should point out there is no proven quid pro quo here. Thats the Clinton Campaign is making, and as of now, today, thats true. But the optics are disturbing. The notion that people are able to arrange last minute meetings with the secretary of state, a private kind of back channel between Foundation Staff like doug band, who is the most famous, huma abedin, senior staffer, thats a way where if you need to see secretary clinton, write a check for 1 million, there is a whole other element, which goes to the clinton speech making, right. So if youre on the trump side, you say this isnt just about even buying just access to secretary clinton. There is also a whole other network of financial impropriety where the Clinton Foundation is taking money in to do good works, which no one disputes. This he do good work, right. But also, bill clinton is getting speech fees, and then access to the secretary. It is also very unseemly at a minimum and for a campaign that thought that fbi director comey said were not going to indict Hillary Clinton, thought it was over, it is not over. The fact that there are no 15,000 emails we havent seen that will be released between now and election day, more political head cakes faches for Clinton Campaign. New local transmission of zika has been discovered outside the two zones in florida. This case was found outside tampa in pinellas county.

The president toured the hardhit state yesterday, after facing criticism for not facing criticism sooner. He said he wasnt concerned about the politics. This is not a one off. This is not a photo op issue. This is how do you make sure that a month from now, three months from now, six months from now, people still are getting the help they need.

Turkish war planes and artillery are hitting jarabal. Turkish tanks have been seen rolling across the border, and syrian rebel forces have told us around 1,500 of their fighters have also crossed into jarabalal. It is key, because it lies on the 500 mile long border that still controlled by isis. Thousands of foreign fighters have used the turkey syria border to cross into the war zone. This comes on the same day that vicepresident joe biden is here in turkey, trying to shore up relations with one of americas most difficult allies. The two nato members have a fundamental disagreement about how to tackle isis. The u. S. Is working closely with kurdish fighters, who are battling isis.

Its reported a state of emergency cleared in 20 counties in Washington State because wildfires, fires in the spokane area have burned 18 square miles since sunday and 16 homes were destroyed. Warm and windy conditions expected is awful Officials Say the fish died from a lack of oxygen. The boston globe reports on calls to remove a judge that sentenced a teen in a sexuality assault case. 18yearold david becker received two years probation last week for sexuality assaulting two women at a house party. Becker said he didnt know one woman was asleep during the april assault. He denied having physical contact with the other. Michelle miller it he is courthouse in palmer, massachusetts, with the reaction to this disturbing ruling. Michelle, good morning. Reporter good morning. David becker had been originally charged with two counts of rape. The prosecution had recommended jail time. But a judge gave him just two years probation after his lawyer argued, he had already suffered the consequences of his actions. He has been a model citizen and a great student. Reporter earlier this month, David Beckers attorney painted the 18yearold as a good kid. He has a 3. 68 pa in high school. Reporter becker is serving two years of probation for assaulting two teenage girls at a house party in april. According to court documents, the victims said they slept in a bed with becker after a night of drinking and that becker sexually assaulted them without their concert. Victim one told authorities when she awoke david had pulled her pants and underwarp doear down thighs. Just wanted you to know that i really am sorry, becker said in one of the messages. The Victim Police department, dont even worry about it. It is all good. She later told investigators she did not know what else to say. While the prosecution recommended becker serve two years in jail, at least one of the victims said she didnt want becker to be incarcerated. The victims wishes are very powerful. Reporter cbs legal analyst rikki klieman. If you have a victim who says she does not want to see a defendant do jail time, we shouldnt think that Sexual Assault equals jail time. Reporter does the punishment fit the crime . No. Reporter karla martin is beckers former classmate. This whole sentencing shows other victims of Sexual Assault that if they say something, no justice is going to happen. Reporter earlier this month, a colorado judge gave Austin James Wilkerson a twoyear work leave jail sentence for sexually assaulting a drunk woman at a party. In june, former stanford swimmer brock turner received a sixmonth sentence for assaulting a woman behind a dumpster outside a party on the universitys campus. There are no two Sexual Assault cases that are, in fact, the same. So its easy for us to say that these three cases are exactly alike, when they are really not. Reporter now if becker completes his two years of probation, he will not be registered as a lifelong sex offend. He had been accepted to the university of dayton for this fall but a University Spokesman said just yesterday, he will not be attending. Michelle, thanks. Michelle mentioned the brock turner case at stanford. The university this week announced a ban on hard liquor at undergraduate campus parties. Turner blamed alcohol and the, quote, College Lifestyle for his behavior during the attack. But the stanford law professor who helped turners victim break her silence tells cbs this morning why she is critical of the new policy. The unfortunate message that this is sending, whether by intentional or unintentional means is that stanford is somewhat agreeing with him and adopting his position that we have things to look at in terms of drinking and maybe it is partly our fault and it is not at all the alcohol that made brock turner commit that crime. Brock turner committed his crime intentionally. That is what the jury found. More than 90 of stanford students recently voted to oppose the hard alcohol ban but the school calls it a targeted approach and says its unrelated to the turner case.

The maker of a life saving medical device is under congressional excrete me over a massive price hike. We first reported last week, how the cost of the epipen for people with severe allergies has risen 500 since 2009. Three senators have written to mylan, the drugmaker, asking for an explanation. One controversial figure is defending t ining it. Reporter many children are at risk for the sort of severe allergy reactions that epipen is. So we thought it might be interesting it hear from the man who knows about the business of raising drug prices. Reporter this particular drug is a necessity for people. Sure. Thats great. I think important medicine should be expensive because they are valuable. Reporter the former pharmaceutical chief Martin Shkreli gained notoriety last year by raising up the cost of a medication by 5,000 percent. He defends the epipens increase from about a hundred dollars for a twopack in 2009 to more than 6 hundr00 this year. These are life saving drugs. People dont have a choice whether they can buy them or not. That is up to insurance to pay for them. Its 300. My iphone is 700. Reporter but you dont need an iphone to exist. That doesnt matter. Its 300 and 90 of americans are insured. To me its a predatory practice and they are taking advantage of the patient. Reporter the epipen faces little competition and accounted for 87 of epinephrine prescriptions pharmacies filled last year and competing with a competitive brand. Democratic senator Amy Klobuchar understands the importance of the epipen and first learned her daughter needed one when she was 4 years old. I still remember that panic drive to the hospital in minnesota. I didnt know if we were going to make it. She dont breathe. Reporter she is calling on the federal trade commission to investigate whether the manufacturer mylan has violated antitrust laws. To do that to a parent and that costs 100 five years and now it costs 600 that cant happen in this country. Reporter in a previous statement, mylan said the epipen price has changed over time for product features and the value the product provides, adding we have made a significant investment to support the device. Republican senator Chuck Grassley is now asking the company to explain the changes mylan have made that have caused it to increase the price. I know youre smiling but im very serious, sir. Reporter shkreli smirked and took the fifth when lawmakers questioned him about his own price increase. He has been indicted in an unrelated securities fraud case but says, in his opinion, the he epipen remains a bargain. Reporter th. They bought an old company and raising it about 15 every six months, which is relatively slowly. Not surface whatas fast as i di. My guess they think they can sell is a thousand dollars a syringe but with these news reports, they probably wont. Reporter shkreli has no association with mylan. As the epipens price has risen, the mylans ceo compensation is up 600 over the past you can imagine it ignited people. People tweeting us we feel whether to his credit or discredit, shkreli is taking the voice of Health Companies which we dont here like why arent we targeting insurers and saying the insurers should be covering the bills and families shouldnt have to. Cbs this morning was the first to report this huge increase in the price of this epipen last week. Yes. You dont need to do it. Ill do it for you. It really is very important. It affects so many children too. Vinita, thank you. You can see more of her interview with Martin Shkreli on our website. He goes into detai epipen is a the massive markup. Go to cbs. Com.

Welcome back to cbs this morning. More real news ahead including the rush to help earthquake victims in central italy. All the latest from the region where dozens have died in collapsed buildings. But first, heres todays eye opener at 8 00. This rescue operation is currently underway. One of the challenges is just getting to this remote region. This report is creating new perception problems for the Clinton Campaign, clinton herself hasnt weighed in on the controversy. Its clear people who gave money to the foundation were able to access secretary clinton. The Clinton Campaign response is so what. Donald trump has gone from calling for the immediate deportation of all Illegal Immigrants to reviewing applications. Warplanes and artillery, turkish tanks seen rushing across the border.

Im Norah Odonnell with Anthony Mason and Kevin Frazier from partners in entertainment tonight, charlie and gayle are off. Italian police say theyve rescued dozens of people from collapsed buildings. A series of strong aftershocks followed the initial 6. 2 quake. At least 73 people are reported dead. The earthquake devastated amatrice northeast of rome. Seth doane is inside that historic and remote town. Seth, good morning. Reporter good morning. We have made it into the center of amatrice, one of the hardest hit towns following this earthquake. And just take a look at the main street here. Up and down you can see rescue workers, stretchers here. This is the town where the local mayor had said all of our town is gone. And standing here on this main street you can see what he was talking about. Take a look at the clock tower here. The time on the clock stopped just after 3 30 this morning. That was the time that the earthquake shook this part of central italy. This is a remote mountainous area thats popular with tourists. That remote part has made it even more difficult for rescue workers to make it up into these small towns. You can see rescuers, some professional, some just everyday people, citizens, on top of this rubble here picking through in some cases with their bare hands. While we were driving up here, we were stopped a number of times by ambulances, the roads are narrow here and clogged. That is making this rescue operation even more difficult, kevin. Seth doane in central italy. Thank you. Hillary clinton faces new questions about meetings with Clinton Foundation donors while she was secretary of state. The Associated Press reviewed her Daily State Department schedules. It found at least 85 of 154 people from private interests who met or had phone conversations scheduled with clinton while she led the state department donated to her family charity, or pledged commitments to its international programs. Now, the frequency of the overlap shows the intermingling of access and donations. Documents do not show that donors got anything beyond access. The Clinton Campaign says, quote, this story relies on utterly flawed data and omits more than 1,700 meetings she took with world leaders. The statement also said meetings with humanitarians like me linda gates are squarely in the purview of americas top diplomat. Donald trump says a special prosecutor should investigate ties between Hillary Clintons state department and the Clinton Foundation. His running mate, mike pence, echoed the call in an interview with Major Garrett yesterday. Pence said clintons connection to the foundation while she was secretary of state is a conflict of interest. Given the enormous importance of this election, i believe the American People have a right to know and soon all the facts around the Clinton Foundation and its relationship to the state department under Hillary Clinton. Picking up on the point of the publics right to know and an important election, roger stone, a friend of, advisor to donald trump said yesterday he should release his tax returns and do it immediately. Do you agree with roger stone . Its now time for the nominee of your party to release his tax returns . Well, donald trump and i have both complied with federal rules about financial disclosure. All you know that, governor president ial candidates have released these returns for decades now. I would tell you ill be releasing my tax returns in the days ahead. How soon . Donald trump will be releasing his tax returns once the audit is completed. This is a man before the election . This man before the election, governor . I think thats yet to be seen. Hes being audited. His tax returns i guarantee are a lot more complicated than mine. But for that reason alone shouldnt the American Public have an insight into that . Just to pick up on your point about right to know and entanglements or conflicts or anything that might emerge, dont the voters have a right to know that too . Doesnt that same standard apply, i guess is my question, to the clintons and to trump . I think Donald Trumps made it clear hell release tax returns once his audit is completed. When asked about immigration, pence said trump will enforce existing deportation laws. He said their administration would have to work out the details with congress. All right. A new report shows and reveals the serious damage caused by zika on developing brains. It extends beyond microcephaly, the signature effect of the virus.

The playful nocturnal creatures are being deprived of rest during the day and that theyre getting stressed out. The ban would extend to two nautical miles off the main Hawaiian Islands where nearly all of the states spinner dolphins go to rest. The world would also keep boats and swimmers at least 50 yards away from the mammals. Public meetings will be held next month with a final decision expected next year. I think some tourists will be disappointed, but i imagine these biologists dolphins need rest too. If the dolphins are stressed out, rest them.

Last summer zion harvey became the first child ever to have a double hand transplant. Ericka duncan went to philadelphia to see how far hes come. Hes quite an inspiration over this last year. Jericka, good morning. Good morning, kevin. Zion was just 2 years old when a severe infection forced doctors to amputate both of his hands and feet and later perform a kidney transplant. Well, now thanks to a donor family and a team of surgeons, zion is accomplishing more than he ever imagined. You have to throw it back. Reporter 9yearold zion harvey is getting used to having hands again. I like playing football. I like playing basketball. I like playing soccer. Reporter its been a year since doctors at the Childrens Hospital of philadelphia transplanted hands from an organ donor and a Ground Breaking tenhour surgery. Thats what you call a tough cookie. Reporter zion still gets around on prosthetic feet, but his new hands have opened up a world of possibility. Most of my art in here, did most of my rap in here. Heres a new song im working on. Reporter zion is undergoing intense rehabilitation to gain strength and flexibility. Now squeeze down. Whoa. Whoa, thats awesome. Reporter up to eight hours a day, five days a week. Its hard work at times. Squeeze. Reporter but doctors say zions attitude and emotional strength have been key to making this complicated surgery a success. Please join us in welcoming 9yearold zion harvey. Reporter earlier this month he threw out the first pitch for his hometown baltimore orioles. Even i get amazed. This is my son. I gave birth to him. And sometimes i cant believe it. Where did you come from . Hes so amazing. Reporter where do you get your wisdom from . It has to come from the two most amazing people, my mom and my grand mom. Dont start tearing up. Reporter he clearly knows his mom is wise. Even if he doesnt always agree with her. She wont let me try out for football. No. Were going to start with baseball. Why not . Too dangerous. Reporter codirector of the Hand Transplantation Program says as zion grows up, his new hands should grow right along with him. The growth plates are areas at the end of cartilage, and th where the new bone is laid down. On expressway we can measure that the bone is getting longer. So we know that its grown. Whats your next goal . Convince mom to let me play football. [ laughter ] zion also says he hopes to write a letter to the parents who donated their sons hands for transplantation because, as he puts it, they didnt have to do that. Doctors say the decision to do the surgery for zion was made easier in part because he was already on a lifetime regimen of antirejection drugs for his kidney transplant. What an incredible spirit this kid has. Yes, he is. Just amazing. Such an inspiration as you said earlier. I mean, to see his energy, the look on his face after going through so much. Even as early as 2 years old. Yeah. Okay, you didnt tear up, but im tearing up where hes going to write the letter to the parents who donated the hands. Great story. Keep us updated on that. I will.

A teachers Bold Decision about homework is getting top marks from her student and winning accolades across the country. Brandy young teaches second grade in texas and her letter to parents is a sensational on facebook. She wrote there will be no formally assigned homework this year. Spend your evenings doing things that are proven to correlate with student success. Eat dinner as a family and read together and play outside and get your child to bed early. Young explained her decision. Last year, i just did a reflection what we had done the previous year. It wasnt working for my classroom. If something is not working as an educator, you need to change it. Youre here to help these kids. Younger Elementary Students dont need pencil and paper work after they leave the classroom. Im checking for math and reading here and i know what my kids know and what they can do. It wasnt right for them any more. Psychologist lisa demorris is here and author of untangled. And she is now a cbs news new contributor, we are happy to say. Thank you for having me. This letter that was shared by a mother has now been shared on facebook 70,000 times. This is striking a chord for a reason, isnt it . It is. I think a lot of families feel stressed about homework and especially when its excessive. You have kids have a long day at school and to come home and feel like they have to tackle a pile of homework and for parents who come home from their long day and then have to lean on a child to get them to tackle a pile of homework, its not so fun. You have research telling us kids need to get more rest which they are not getting enough. Where does the research stand on the value of homework . Well, its interesting. When we we have a lot of data over a long period of time. What we see is that up until seventh grade, more homework doesnt mean more achievement. After seventh grade, seventh to 12th, we see that more homework does contribute to more achievement to a point. That you get to diminishing returns. So for middle schoolers, after about 90 minutes a night, the benefit drops off and then for high schoolers, somewhere between an hour and a half to two hours a night, the benefit drops off. Wow. Should students or parents push back if they feel they are getting too homework . If the child cant manage the homework, i think for the younger grades, maybe the parent should reach out to the school. For the older grades, we would like to see the child take that initiative. In my experience, Teachers Want to help. You know, teachers dont know what goes on in our homes. I think if things are not going well at home, families should reach out to the teacher, all Teachers Want to find a solution to that. A 2015 study showed the homework load for some young Elementary Students is almost three times what is recommended. So, i mean, you talked about that dropoff effect when you go over the limit. I mean, what is the effect on the kid when you go over the limit . Well, we like to see about ten minutes per grade. So ten minutes first grade and 20 minutes in second grade and 30 minutes in third grade has roughly been the recommendation. Part of the excess that we are seeing is that we are in an era of high stakes testing and teachers are under pressure which means students are under pressure but it does stress kids and families. One school in massachusetts decided to get rid of all homework. An Underperforming School and extended their school day. What do you think of that . Not a bad idea. I think probably a relief to those families. Get it done in school and come home and be off the clock. This teacher in texas said most homework but lets use that time instead to have dinner together. She didnt say read to your children which is critical. And those are excellent for child development. We know that. Absolutely. When do you know your child is stressed and in trouble because of the homework situation . I think tears. That is not uncommon in homes. We all have i think that, you know, if you and your child every night approach homework like this terrible battle that is about to unfold, its time to call the teacher and its time to ask for help. What age then does it become appropriate . I have children who are going in from third grade into fourth grade and they are watching and heard this segment, they said that teacher is really smart sign me up but i find it is important, though, to establish some responsibility. You have homework and i see my kids react to it differently. They say got to get this done, i got to get this done and i find it encouraging to watch they see a deadline and want to meet that deadline and meet that homework project that is done. The best argument for the homework in the younger grades is the establishment of routines. That you come home, you sit down, get it done, carry on with your evening. Ill tell you, i get to watch kid go over the course of development and a long trajectory, i will take a child with excellent homework routines over a child with a very strong intellectual endowment any day. When you see success down the line, its the kids with the good habits. Thank you. James corden is helping a new generation to find a new fan. Ahead how stars like the late late show host are lining up to sing animated covers. We will explore the all you need is love ,,,,, all you need is love is the theme song from beat bugs. A Netflix Series aimed at kids. The shows creator was little known australian filmmaker with a big and improbable dream, to tell stories through beatles songs. Help you may know the song but youve never seen it performed like this. Help me if you can im feeling down animated bugs singing beatles music. Sounds that sent teenage girls into a frenzy when they first heard them on the Ed Sullivan Show in 1964. She was just 17 reporter they are back with a modern day twist. Im a loser reporter james corden and others are getting in on the act covering the most famous band in pop history. Beat bugs creator josh wakely managed something of a music miracle by obtaining the rights to the beatles catalog known as one of the most protected in pop music. So how in the world did you get the right to the beatles music . Did you have to go the long and winding road or something . What did you have to do . Yeah. Through penny lane and ive been told by everyone to give up. But i could just see it so clearly. I was so magnetized by the idea of bringing music that is so extraordinary and backing this whole new lane. Good day sunshine good day sunshine good day sunshine reporter wakelys passion for the beatles kept him going as he was running out of money. For three years, he repeatedly pitched his vision, in meetings he described as. They are all skacary but i fl if youre not scared, its not living. Its all like that. Reporter within hours of sealing the deal, wakely began reaching out to rockers like pearl jam eddie better who takes the bugs on a mystery tour. Pink sings lucy in the sky with diamonds. And cia covers blackbirds. Reporter next season will also include rod stewart, james bay, and jennifer hudson, and each has a bit of beatle mania. You cant be an artist if youre not influenced by the beatles. My son, his middle name is actually Max Mccartney corden, after paul mccartney. Youre going to carry that weight reporter wakely feels he feels the weight of this once in a lifetime opportunity. Insider says if beat bugs is successful, the magic of the fab four will play on in the future. There will be a context where the beatles music will be forgotten and we wont really think of the 60s or the Political Climate or the personality of the beatles themselves, but this music will live on. He is presenting himself to a dance machine. Reporter wakelys cartoon career is exploding. I left you by the house reporter he just teamed up with legendary r b singer. Let me just tackle another crazy genre and im going to bring motown to life. Who are you looking at for that . Stevie wonder is the first one i went to. He is a Living Legend in the true sense of the world. The natural success of the motown music is for real and its sort of right for reinvention. Reporter wakely has access to the motown library which has 307 songs but the beatles is number one selling 178 million.
