rake it to the limit. the wedding shop, dressperado. the little league supply eagles hits two. i'm charlie rose with norah o'donnell and gayle king. president trump got a warning about michael flynn before he fired him. president obama advised him not to hire him. and sally yates said flynn could be a target of russian blackmail. sally yates spoke in january after vice president mike pence incorrectly said flynn did not talk about sanctions with the russian ambassador during the transition. yates said the white house counsel asked her why does it matter if one white house official lies to another? >> the russians also knew that general flynn had misled the vice president and others. our concern was is that you have a very sensitive position like the national security adviser and you don't want that person to be in a position where, again, the russians have leverage over him. >> after the hearing president trump nothing new but old news. he said alleged collusion between his campaign and russia is a total hoax. the president's travel ban came up during sally yates testimony. yates was fired for instructing justice department attorneys not to defend the order. she considered it unlawful. texas republican senator frted cruz asked yates why it was okay to disobey the president. >> whenever the president finds the entry of any alien or any class of alien in the united states would be detrimental to tint of the united states he may by procamation and for such period as he deem necessary suspend the entry of all aliens or any class of aliens as immigrants or non-immigrants or impose any restrictions he may deem appropriate. would you agree that is broad statutory authorization? >> i am. i'm familiar with it. provision that says no person shall receive preference or be discriminated in issuance of a visa because of race, nationality or place of birth. that, i believe, was promulgated after the statute that you just quoted. >> she was prepared. an appeals court heard new arguments yesterday on travel ban and judges are weighing the president's campaign statements should be considered part of its intent. the pentagon may get more involved in

security advisers will land on his desk this week. and it puts in front of president trump a key decision of whether to expand the u.s. militarye already america's longest war. mr. trump will be advised to deploy around 3,000 more troops some american and some from nato allied countries to join the more than 8,000 u.s. troops already assisting the afghan military. the u.s. is requesting that nato contribute as many troops as p possible. the number of american troops would depend on that nato contribution. a high ranking military official tells cbs news the pentagon will decide on the number made available. president trump will also consider lifting obama era restrictions on the targeting of taliban militants which would effectively pause the so far unsuccessful u.s. efforts to broker peace talks. the aim here is to leverage battlefield gains against a resurgent taliban in order to force them to negotiating table with the u.s. backed afghan government. now may 25th is the

somalian population in the country and the state's health community has been a targeted about misinformation about vaccine risk. jamie yuccas joins us now with story. jamie, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. here at children's minnesota doctors have treated 48 confirmed cases. when patients visits they are given a mask to couch. the virus is so contagious if you're exposed and don't have the vaccine there's a 90% chance you'll contract it. have eugene day without having a new case? >> we have gone zero days without having a new case. >> reporter: patty stinchfield is the director for infection control at minnesota children's hospital. the measles outbreak started about for you weeks ago. 46 of the 48 confirmed cases are iran children 10 years old or younger. >> i just finished doing rounds on these children and they are miserable. they are in the hospital. they have ivs. they are not drinking. they have terrible coughs. some havana moan gentleman. >> reporter: the measles virus travels through the air where it can live up to two hours making it more contagious than the flu. only vaccine available in the u.s. to prevents the spread of the mumps and rubella vaccine or mmr. >> they can have permanent brain-damage. they can have blindness or deafness. we wouldn't vaccinate if this was a rashy illness. this is a very serious disease. >> reporter: in 2014, 90% children were vaccinated. in the somalian community that dropped. abdirizak bihi said parents believe the vaccine causes autism. >> they believe that the disease is curable and that vaccine is causing the autism. ikram mohamed is a mother of five children. four have received the mmr vaccine. she waited until they were older even after getting measles >> what was that like. >> hospital stay. >> reporter: she doesn't plan to vaccinate her 5-year-old until he starts school fill a. >> will you choose to take the risk to vaccinate and get this long term chronic illness or take the risk of trying to do everything you kin your power to prevent your child from getting measles. it's a very hard choice. >> reporter: doctors say false information linking vaccines to autism is hurting children. >> do you get frustrated that this misinformation is still out there? >> it's frustrating because we know these diseases are contagious, they can spread, they can take children's lives and all we have to do is go back to before we had vaccines where united states had 4 million cases of measles and we will go back there if we don't continue to vaccinate. >> reporter: scientific studies show there's no correlation between the mmr vaccine and increased risk in children who are at increased risk for the disorder. health officials say it could take months for this epidemic to be over. that's because they need six weeks with no new reported cases of measles for the outbreak to be considered finished. thank you jamie. good information. best selling novelist james patterson is out with a new book. he wrote this one with his teenage son. what's your name teenage son? >> jack. >> they are both in the toyota green room with why they decided to write about -- what did you write about, jack >> penguins. >> there's our jeffrey there about black america. very serious stuff. he spent 25 years talking to police chiefs and local activists. we'll find out what he's learned. you're watching "cbs this morning". we'll being right back. jury selection is under way in a trial following a deadly police shooting in oklahoma. tulsa police officer betty jo shelby is charged with first degree manslaughter for shooting and killing an unarmed black man "tst september. the tulsa shoot cigarette one of 17 cases in the u.s. last year in which an officer killed an unarmed black man. some of those shootings led to protests. >> cbs news justice and homeland security security correspondent jeff pegues has experience in covering this. his new book "inside black and blue." it takes an in depth look at the crisis through interviews with price chiefs, local activists and others on both sides. jeff pegues joins us once again at the table. jeff pegues, in depth is certainly the word for this book. you talked to the major players on both sides. i think you have what looks to me very disturbing statistics and very disturbing philosophies on both sides. what stands out to you >> the different views of police and whether you're talking to someone in the black community or police officers in the rank-and-file. it is stark. part of that is based on what we're seeing in some of these or what we've seen justice department investigations that the views of policing in the black community are certainly shaped by the stops that people on the streets encounter with police. for example in baltimore it was found that 44% of the police stops were made where 11% of the population was and that was primarily the black community. so there is this emphasis on policing and tough policing in the black community on the part of police departments and that's what we're seeing across the country. and that sort of drives these different viewpoints of policing whether you're talking to someone who is white versus someone who is black. >> looking at the numbers that you saw, what surprised the most including things like that african-american men are more likely to be killed in a conflict. >> what surprised me the most -- >> by 2-1, i think. >> that was, obviously, surprising, but also what i was hearing from rank-and-file police officers who were blunt. that's w i this issue, rip the band aid off and go out and talk to people without a television crew just my phone and recording and get to the bottom of the feelings -- >> what did they say? >> they talk about feeling overworked, under appreciated. we can't solve your psychosis. we can't raise your kids. we're asked to do too much. that's reflected in the book. also on the other side you have people in the black community who feel they are being treated like livestock, rounded up, thrown in jail. or penalized for minor infractions which threads a cycle, can thread a cycle of poverty. there's a real problem here. part of my reasoning for doing this book is to get to the heart of the issue, expose it and allow people to discuss it in an open way. >> it's interesting because one of the police officers said it's like when you're married and having problems in your marriage you have to admit there's a problem before you can move terrence cunningham one of the top police officials admitted sometimes police get it wrong because that never happens. >> that's right. that was an apology last fall that was really overshadowed because of the campaign season but it was a critical moment in this debate where terrence cunningham the former president of the international association of chiefs of police, went out there and made this public apology, essentially saying law enforcement has enforced discriminatory laws in the past and we have been the face of that. we got -- however he got a lot of support. why? because it was an honest admission that he wanted to spark the conversation and did it. and that's what a lot of african-americans in these communities across the country have been waiting for police to acknowledge and then you can start the discussion and move forward. >> does it make a difference if the police chief is african-american? >> it makes a difference. but that's not the entire it's really the approach more than the race of the police chief. it's the approach. >> the right approach? >> you have to have transparency that's why these body cameras are so important. that's why you see so many police chiefs across this country moving towards body cameras. >> transparency. >> it's important. also cracking down on the bad cops. there are a lot of good cops out there. 99.9% of the cops are good. and they don't want the bad cops in the ranks. they are being painted with this broad brush. so i wanted to dispel that myth too in this book and present both sides. >> the cops tell the closer you are to the community the less the crime, i think that's a very important point. >> you can't show up when there's a shooting. go there before the shooting. i move when i see these images on tv of police officers playing soccer in the neighborhood with the kids or throwing a football in the neighborhood. those images speak volumes about what good community policing is and you are seeing more of those images. but not enough. >> all right. a lot of work on this book. very interesting. >> thank you. >> congratulations. >> the book is called "black and blue." it's on sale now. did you know kangaroos bite? i did not know that. i ought they punched. ahead why an alabama zoo could be in
