He always has a way of putting it in perspective, but this is serious stuff. Welcome to cbs this morning. Thats where we begin. There are growing new concerns about the coronavirus right here in the United States. Because we now have the first case of no immediate link to Worldwide Travel or a related illness. California Health Officials say that patient has been isolated. Its one of 60 known cases in the u. S. More than 82,000 illnesses are reported globally. More than 40 Different Countries with some taking drastic measures to prevent the spread. This morning, saudi arabia closed all major islamic holy sites to foreigners and japan said it will close all of its schools for a month to keep coronavirus from spreading. Back here in the u. S. , carter evans is outside that hospital in sacramento where that new american patient is being treated. Carter, why is this case causing so much concern . Reporter its a big concern, because there have been only two other cases of person to person transmission of the virus here in the u. S. Both occurred after exposure to a Family Member who went to china. We dont know how this person got infected with the virus. Thats a big concern for Health Officials who are trying to stop its spread. Theres probably other cases out there in the community that we dont know about. Doctors at the Uc Davis Medical Center are concerned the patient here might just be the first of many infected by someone else in the general population. The individual was transferred here last wednesday, already intubated and on a ventilator. He or she wasnt tested for coronavirus until sunday and the results came back positive just yesterday. Its the first case of what doctors are calling community transmission. It suggests that we dont know where they got it from. So the person who exposed them probably exposed others. This is the 15th case in the u. S. Efforts to combat the highly contagious virus are growing coast to coast. Your gown goes on first. The hospital workers outside new york are being trained to protect themselves. More than 80 people are in isolation this their homes. All elements of the City Government to address this crisis. Los angeles is also taking extraordinary precautions. Were disinfecting lax every hour. Were making sure that those points much entry are as secure as we can possibly make them. Villanova university is telling its students studying abroad in italy that they need to return home now because of the increase in cases there. Also, same goes for Sacramento State with its students in south korea, telling them to come back right now. We expect to learn more about the patient here at a News Conference later today. Tony . Carter, thank you very much. The uncertainty over the spread of the coronavirus is rattle markets. The dow plunged more than 2300 points in the last five trading days. President trump says the risk of americans getting infected is low. He led an effort yesterday to show his administration is prepared. Paula reid is at the white house for us. Good morning. Whats the president s mission here . Reporter good morning, tony. This press conference came following days of conflicting messages from the administration on coronavirus. Weve learned the president is frustrated that officials were not projecting a more positive outlook each as the markets tumbled. Last night in in only his second ever White House Briefing room appearance, the president tried to reassure nervous americans. Were very, very ready for this, for anything. Flanked by Health Officials, the president said his administration has plans in place for a worse case scenario, including stockpiling protective equipment and masks. Every aspect of our society should be prepared. Mr. Trump said Vice President mike pence will head the task force responsible for monitoring the outbreak and coordinating with local officials across the country on their response to the virus. I look forward, mr. President , to serving in this role. Health officials agreed with the president that the aggressive strategy so far had been working. But were cautious about the future. We can expect to see more cases in the United States. Moments later, the president contradicted that. I dont think its inevitable. There were other discrepancies on how soon a vaccine may be available. The vaccine is coming along well. In speaking to the doctors, we think this is something we can develop fairly rapidly. Although this is the fastest weve ever gone from a sequence of a virus to a trial, it still would not be any applicable to the epidemic unless we wait a year to a year and a half. Health Officials Say prevention is crucial. We dont have a vaccine and we dont have ant virals to treat this. Prevention is the cure. The administration is criticized for cutting funding for coordinating government responses to Public Health crises. What hes doing is late, too late, anemic. Hopefully, we can make up for the loss of time. The president fired back at Speaker Pelosi calling her incompetent. But saying they have to be on the same team. The president says the travel restrictions that he imposed early on in this outbreak worked and he is open to adding additional travel restrictions, but now he said is not the right time. Gayle . Paula, thanks very much. Cbs news Frances Townsend is here. Handling a flu pandemic. Fran gd moing to you. Maybcan so of some of this out for us. The cdc says its inevitable. The president says its not. What do you make of the mixed messages. Everybody agrees its a Public Health emergency. It certainly is. I think the president is trying to tell the american public, people are understandably frightened and concerned. The cdc is also trying to prepare people. I think the answer is somewhere in the middle, right . We are likely to see more cases reported. There are 50 in the United States. Doctor at uc davis, he expects more in the United States that havent been reported yet that will be reported. Look, we dont know where the woman in california was infected. Its likely what people havent talked about is people can be totally asymptomatic. You can be infected with the coronavirus and have no symptoms and that means you can infect others not even know you have it. That may be part of the answer to this woman this woman or man in california. How does the coronavirus compare to the flu pandemic that you prepared for during the Bush Administration . To give you a sense, anthony, the flu has a morbidity rate, a death rate an ofrj of. 1 . A really bad flu is a. 5 death rate. This we believe is a 2 death rate. So its much worse. We dont know if thats right because we dont know if there are more cases than we realize. It remains to be seen. But thats part of what makes this so dangerous. So thats why public Health Officials declared the emergency because they want to get theyre trying to get ahead of this in preparation. From what youve seen so far, is the Trump Administration doing enough to control an outbreak . I think we have to understand, the federal government really supports and got to get the preparations right for the local response, right . Part of the reason you appoint pence, a governor, to oversee the response is because in the end, governors and mayors are the people on the frontlines of this who will have to do it. You see in the budget request for example, theyre looking for masks and ventilators. Theyre looking to get the sort of equipment the Public Health workers are going to be on the frontlines are going to need. Those are the people who are going to have to man the response. People sitting here watching you today, whats your best advice . Should we fly, not fly, wear a mask, not wear a mask . Where do we get the answers . First and foremost, listen to the doctor who has been around for 40 years. I would go to the cdc website. If you see its a travelfree warning country, dont go. Thats china and south korea. If its a travel to warning country, defer any nonessential travel. Hook at the cdc website. Im curious about traveling in the United States. You want to look at there are no travel restrictions in the United States. You want to look at where the nodes of outbreaks are. Do you need to travel to those places . Where are those infections right now . It never hurts. Washing your hands in warm water and soap 20 seconds. Get your flu shot. If you get the flu shot and then get symptoms, at least you help the doctors rule out what its not. Fran townsend, thanks so much. Good to see you. The investigation into the deadly mass shooting at one of the nations largest breweries is now focused on a home on milwaukees north side. A heavlice pe reported there overnight. Police say a 51yearold employee killed five coworkers before taking his own life. S. W. A. T. Teams quickly responded to the sprawling molson coors complex yesterday after receiving emergency calls. Dean reynolds has more from milwaukee. Confirmed active shooter. Shooter till at large. Reporter at 2 08 yesterday. Police and fire rescue rushed to the molson coors plant following reports of an active shooter. Wearing bulletproof vests and heavily armed, they, fbi and atf agents stormed the campus searching for the gunman. We do not have the shooter down. There is an additional victim at this point. Reporter nearby schools and businesses were placed on lockdown as dozens of officers cleared each building on a campus where around 1,000 people work. Were all pretty scared much i mean, we were watching the live streams on tv trying to see what was going on outside because we couldnt see anything. Reporter about five hours after the shooting began, investigators confirmed the gunman killed five people before turning the gun on himself. This is an unspeakable tragedy for our city. This is a community tragedy. As we grieve for these families, we must remember the sacrifices that they made. Reporter as police cleared the scene, employees on the campus were allowed to leave one by one to reunite with their families. If i wouldnt have gone to talk to this guy was relieving me, i would be one of them guys. I know that for a fact. Because i would have walked right in what was going on. Randy chenoweth worked at the plant for 42 years. He says he was in an office just 15 to 20 feet away from the gunshots during the shift change. I know some of the victims. I really feel for the families. I pray for you. Thats all i can really do. Dean reynolds reporting from milwaukee for us. Thank you very much. We have an update on a bizarre story. A mother arrested in hawaii on charges linked to the disappearance of her two children. Shes awaiting extradition back to idaho. Lori vallow appeared in a court yesterday where a judge denied a request to reduce her bail. Errol barnett is following the story for us. Good morning. What happened during the hearing . This story gives you chills. This was her second time in court in less than a week. Her attorneys asked a hawaii judge to lower her 5 million bail. That request quickly denied. Prosecutors arguing shes now a flight risk and the bail amount is appropriate. She waived her right to an extradition hearing so she will be transported back to idaho to answer for the serious charges against her. The 47yearold was arrested last week on an idaho warrant facing multiple charges, including felony child abandonment. For those of you maybe not following closely, 7yearold joshua j. J. And kylie had been missing since september. The kids may be in danger or worse. Cbs news confirmed that investigators are considering searching Yellowstone National park for tiely once the snow melts there. Phone records show the teenager was there with her mother and brother on september 8th. Police say vallow and her new husband have repeatedly lied about the childrens whereabouts.

The president candidates are kicking it up a notch when it comes to campaigning ahead of saturdays South Carolina primary. Next weeks super tuesday contest in 14 different states. Senator Bernie Sanders, the democratic frontrunner is trailing former Vice President joe biden in South Carolina. Ed okeefe is covering the race there. Ed, good to see you. What can we expect in the next few days . The clock is ticking. Reporter it sure is, gayle. Good morning. Candidates are desperate to cover as much ground as possible in South Carolina and in the 14 states voting next week when nearly 1400 delegates are up for grabs. Got to bring people together. We share a common humanity. Frontrunner, Bernie Sanders, campaigned in the super tuesday state of north carolina. In the coming days, candidates are fanning out across the country with events from boston to raleigh, nashville, little rock, selma and san diego. The hope is to pick up as many of the more than 1300 delegates up for grabs that day as they can. Thats more than a third of whats needed to win the democratic nomination. The supersized primary day is set to stretch the campaign thin. Only sanders, former new york mayor Michael Bloomberg have the resources to compete in all 14 states. Bloomberg is spending at least 153 million running tv ads back books like this one. Health experts warn the west is underprepared. But sanders continues to benefit from unrivalled enthusiasm. People like leslie klein from orlando have come to South Carolina to volunteer. I feel like this is probably our last chance for a victory to get an honest man in the white house that can make a revolution. Reporter ahead of saturdays South Carolina primary, sanders is trailing joe biden who picked up a key endorsement from an emotional congressman jim clyburn, a palmetto state power broker. Important for joe biden and South Carolina, voting for joe biden. Reporter attorneys for former president obama are calling on South Carolina tv stations to pull down a super pac ad supportive of President Trump that mischaracterizes comments from one of his books and makes it sound as if hes critical of former Vice President bidens support of the black community. The former president isnt expected to endorse anyone yet, but his spokeswoman says in a statement that in the interest of truth in advertising, the ad should come down. Tony .

Welcome back to cbs this morning, im tony dokoupil. Lori loughlin, it shows the couple is innocent in the College Admissions scandal. In legal filings, Defense Attorneys say prosecutors provided them with notes written by the ringleader of the scheme, rick singer. They say the notes prove the couples claim that they did not bribe their daughters way into university of southern california. Nikki battiste joins us with the latest on the story. Why is this information coming out now . Good morning, tony. Federal prosecutors discovered singers notes in 2018 but believe they were privileged at the time and held off on disclosing them until yesterday. Now, loughlins lawyers argue those note and what they say about investigators conduct could exonerate the defendants. Its been nearly a year since rick singer pleaded guilty to charges. But a new memo from Defense Attorneys for loughlin and her husband Mossimo Giannulli claims the government instructed singer to lie to clients by calling their payments bribes. Even if he previously characterized them as legitimate. It contains a note on his iphone about discussions with fbi agents. In one exchange he called loud abrasive, they continued to ask me to tell a fib and not restate what i told my clients as to where the money was going. Loughlin and giannulli paid half a Million Dollars to usc allegedly so their daughters could attend the school. They insisted the money was a donation. Theyre accused of taking additional measures to cheat the system like making a fake resume for one of their kids. This comes after other defendants caught up in singers web, like hollywood actress, felicity huffman, not only pleaded guilty but finished serving prison sentences. That includes former new York Attorney Gordon Caplan who admitted he paid 75,000 to have the answers on his daughters a. C. T. Exam corrected. In his notes, singer wrote that investigators wanted to, quote, nail gordon at all costs. Soliciting additional payments for that purpose. Its an embarrassment for the government. Laurie levenson, a former federal prosecutor. She said singers notes should have been turned over long ago and they bring his and the governments credibility into question. It gives the defense some ammunition to say that loughlin and others didnt really agree this was a bribe. This is a positive development for Lori Loughlin. We dont know whether it will clear her or make the case go away. But we do know that it puts the government on the defensive. A judge was set to decide trial dates for loughlin and other figures implicated in the scandals today. But her defense team is asking for that proceeding to be pushed back in light of the new information detailed in singers notes. They call the governments previous failure to disclose those notes s sing wur legal analyst who said for lori loughl loughlin, theres no way around she made resumes for her daughter. It paints another side. As rico owe. Hard to explain that one. Nikki, thanks. Ahead, americas hidden homeless kprie sis. In our new series, eye on america. America left behind.

Im Bernie Sanders and i approve this message. Cbs news is shining a light on the homeless crisis we do not see. Working class families left behind in this economy. Our new eye on america series, left behind, begins with the fight of homeless childrenment more than 1. 3 million kids are homeless nationwide. Maria Elena Salinas met a California Family among the hidden homeless. She joins us at the table to discuss. Im so glad youre putting a face on the problem. Absolutely. The problem is more serious than we know. When they had steady jobs, they ended up homeless. They now live in a Los Angeles Motel room with their Young Children where theyve stayed for the past year. I wish i had my whole family in a house. I wish we had a house. 6yearold and 7yearolds are honor students with big dreams for the future. I want to be a scientist because i want to be smart. We met the two in los angeles. They have been homeless for two years and living in this motel for the past year. Do you understand why you live in the motel . I do. But its just we dont have enough money. Why would you tell that . Mommy said not to tell she did. When we were talking to the kids today, we asked them if they understood why they were living in this motel. And she said because we dont have any money. Kye turned around and said youre not supposed to say that. Mom said not to say that. And they both covered their mouth. Im sorry. You tell them that . Yeah. Yeah. Because we dont we dont want them to feel out of place at school. We dont want to be the pity, charity case in school or anything like that. I just want them to be as normal as can be. Robert and Kristin Eddings both lost steady jobs. Kristin was making 52,000 a year as a store manager and robert had a fulltime job at a janitorial company. Theres a hot of misconceptions about people experiencing homelessness. What do you want people to know about your situation . It can happen to anyone.

Reporter at the motel where we met the eddings family there were over 30 assaults and domestic incidents of Domestic Violence reported lafgs year. One of 72,000 children homeless in the l. A. School district. A staggering 85 of children in that district live in poverty. The official count of 17,000 is probably closer to 30,000. Reporter austin is the l. A. Unified School District superintendent. Reporter what is the l. A. Unified School District doing to help these families . We are doing more to bring them back to school. We actually receive zero dollars from the states. Reporter the district allocated 500 section 8 vouchers for families but 67 of them go unused because landlords refuse to rent to tenants with this federal subsidy. What do you want for your family . A house. He said it. The eddings family still lives in the motel but robert was recently hired at a Magazine Agency working in customer service. At least theres some income. Its amazing that both of those kids are honor roll students. Impressive. Thats because the parents really focus on their kids to make sure they have some kind of stability. The cure for cancer could live in a hotel room tonight, a reminder. They are in a hotel because they cant yet afford to be in a house. Not only can they not afford it, they dont have a rental history and difficult for landlords to rent without rental history, a tough situation. Los angeles mayor Eric Garcetti on this topic.

Here are a few stories we think you will be talking about. After 120 years of failed attempts, the house finally approved legislation making lynching a federal hate crime. Lawmakers stood by pictures of emmett till, in his name. It came 65 years after the 14yearold was lynched and kidnapped in mississippi. Its up to lawmakers to right the wrongs of our past. As americans and congress we have the responsibility to right the wrongs of the pass to have them never occur again. Three republicans and one independent lawmaker voted against the measure. Louie gohmert, Thomas Massie and ted yoho and independent, justin amash. When youre with the four, it makes you wonder what was the reasoning behind it. Ted yoho said he described it as a terrible act but said the government went way beyond. Calling for laws to make lynching a crime, its been between 1877 and 1950, 4,000 people, its estimated, were lynched across this country. For those souls that were lost, this law finally people are glad to see this is happening. Apparently there were over 200 attempts to pass this legislation. The senate by the way, did pass it unanimously. They did in fact pass that unanimously. Good to see that. Named after emmett till. It still happens, james bird in 1998 and we were just in south ameri america South Carolina, mother emanuel church, nine souls lost there. A dramatic house fire. I want to be clear. Everyone was okay. Officers arrived and saw smoke billowing from this entryway. C inside.

But mike came in, and he actually did something about it. And thats how mike will get it done as president. Im Mike Bloomberg and i approve this message. Announcer this is a kpix 5 news morning update. Good morning, everyone. Im michelle griego. In this traffic center, we have an update to an earlier crash in the north bay. This is near the napa airport. All lanes are cleared on northbound 29 and highway 221. There was an accident. But you can see the residual delays there,. We have speed dipping down to about 10 Miles Per Hour in that area. We look to get that all cleared out prison. 880 slowing down as well in the commute direction. But still moving along, no stop andgo so that is good. There is stopandgo, though, on the san mateo bridge. It is a 41 minute drive from foster city into hayward into foster city. We did see a tow truck go by, just a short time ago. So we are checking to see what is causing this stopandgo traffic along san mateo bridge. Heres a a look at the bay bridge toll plaza. Moving along pretty nicely. Metering lights are still on. Once you get across the toll plaza, across the span, it is a 10 minute drive. Michelle, the sunshine continues across the bay area. Another warm day across the region. Heres a live look with our Treasure Island camera looking at that in San Francisco. Heres but you can expect. Sunshine, daytime highs, will above average for this time of year. So very similar to yesterday. Were going to start to see some teaches for tomorrow. More clouds but still mild on friday. Cooler for the weekend and just a slight, slight chance of a shower for the far south bay on sunday. Other than that for today, 72 in San Francisco, warming up to 76 in fremont. 78 in san jose, santa rosa. Much cooler into the 50s on sunday. Fighting Climate Change isnt just about polar bears. Were fighting for our lives, were fighting for clean air and clean water. Thats why i wrote the law to send billions from polluters to communities suffering the most. And only one candidate for idpresent thwa and hes still fighting for us, pledging to make clean air and clean water a right for everyone, regardless of your zip code. Thats the truth. Thats tom steyer. Im tom steyer and i approve this message. Is thursday, february 27th, 2020. Welcome back to cbs this morning. Im gayle king. Ahead a new coronavirus case in california raises fresh concerns because no one knows where this one came from. Im tony dokoupil. We hear from africanamerican voters in South Carolina ahead of the democratic primary and why some are backing President Trump. Im anthony mason. Meet a blind man helping others like him to try rock climbing in our series pushing the limits. First, here is todays eye opener at 8 00. New concerns about the coronavirus. We now have the first case with no immediate links to travel or a related illness. We dont know how this person got infected. That is a big concern right now for Health Officials. Last night in onl hisd ever White House Briefing appearance the president tried to reassure nervous americans. We are very, very ready for this, for anything. I think the president is trying to be reassuring to the american public. People are understandably frightened. Her attorneys asked a hawaii judge to lower her 5 million bail. That request quickly denied. Candidates are desperate to cover as much ground as possible not only in South Carolina but the 14 states voting next week when nearly 1400 delegates are up for grabs. Joe biden has been getting skewered for repeating a claim he was once arrested in south africa on a trip to see nelson mandela. Biden was not arrested but was separated from his party at the airport. Nelson mandela was in prison for 27 years but one time i lost sight of my coworkers in the delta terminal so i get it. Hey, where did you go . Help im arrested. Wait. There you are. There you are. Youre going. Where are you now . Welcome back to cbs this morning following big developments in the coronavirus outbreak and that is where we begin right now. For the first time someone in the u. S. Has contracted the virus apparently without traveling abroad or having close contact with another patient. The new patient is in isolation at Uc Davis Medical Center in sacramento. The cdc says this may be the first case of what it calls community spread. That is where the source of the infection is unknown. Since yesterday at least nine more countries have announced their first cases. This morning japan said it is closing public elementary schools, junior high, and high schools through march to stop the spread. Carter evans is outside Uc Davis Medical Center in sacramento tracking the latest u. S. Case. Carter, what do we know about the patient being treated there . Reporter well, right now Health Officials are trying to track down everyone this person may have come in contact with. The fact that there is no connection to overseas travel means this virus could be spreading in the community. Uc Davis Medical Center says the patient was brought here from another california hospital last week. It wasnt until sunday that the cdc ordered tests because the patient initially didnt fit the criteria. Yesterday the results came back positive, making it the 60th known case here in the u. S. At a News Conference yesterday, President Trump put Vice President pence in charge of a Task Force Handling the outbreak, but there are still contradictions between mr. Trump and his top Health Officials over the potential for widespread cases in the u. S. I dont think it is inevitable. I think there is a chance it could get worse. There is a chance it could get fairly substantially worse. But nothing is inevitable. Now, it is not so much a question of if this will happen anymore. But rather more a question of exactly when this will happen. Reporter as the concern increases, so does the demand for medical protective equipment. There is one company in georgia that makes face masks. It says it is going to be working 24 hours, six days a week. The fight also continues online. Facebook now saying that it is banning products promising a cure for the coronavirus. All right. Carter, because as we know there is no cure. Thank you very much. Voters in South Carolina head to the polls this saturday for the states critical primary. The Democratic Candidates have been vying for the black vote, which is expected to make up about 60 of the electorate in that contest. President Trumps Campaign announced yesterday they are opening 15 socalled black voices for trump offices around the country to woo black voters. The president will have a rally there tomorrow in South Carolina. Our National Correspondent Jericka Duncan spoke to some voters there. Good morning. What did they tell you . We know President Trump has emphasized the last few years he has done a lot for people in the black community often citing the lowest unemployment numbers for africanamericans ever. So t s c to better understand what some black voters there are feeling. Africanamerican communities have suffered under democratic control. To those i say the following. What do you have to lose . Reporter President Trumps plea to africanamerican voters began in the summer of 2016. It has grown Even Stronger as we approach election day. I have been working to build an unlimited future for africanamerican communities. Reporter robert baker who works as a corporate trainer in the mortgage industry agrees. We have for sure the lowest africanamerican unemployment in history. When i saw the economy get better, i noticed my 401 k , first thing i said, 401 k begins to grow. The stock market is growing. Reporter tonya isaac says she is having a different experience and works parttime as a Home Health Care aid and is on public assistance. You have an endless cycle where you get this good job, then your rent goes up, then your food stamps are cut, then your child care is cut. Reporter Adolphus Belk jr. From Winthrop University in South Carolina. The gap between white and black homeowners is greater now than it was since before the Fair Housing Act of 1968 when segregation was legal. Reporter what does that say when you look at the big picture of the economy as it relates to black people . Its one of the reasons why we have to examine multiple indicators of Socio Economic well being to get a sense of where people really are. Reporter a recent poll found 84 of black voters disapprove of President Trumps job in office. According to a january the Washington Post ipsos poll 83 of black americans believe the president is a racist. You believe the president has made racist remarks but you do not believe he is a racist. Ive called white people honky. I aint racist. The way that he talks. The things that he has said, has pushed people to the point that they feel they can just say and do whatever they want without any repercussions. Reporter do you think the president is racist . Yes, i do. Reporter while tonya and robert disagree on who should be president , both say theyre concerned about the obvious, deep divisions that exist. You said Something Interesting about what your 13yearold daughter said to you. Yeah. Reporter what did she say that was so concerning . So we were upstairs talking in the bedroom. Im letting her know cbs is coming to interview your dad as an africanamerican trump supporter. She says, daddy, is somebody going to want to kill you . Were in a bad place. Reporter when you hear of a young girl concerned about her father because hes expressing how he feels politically, what do you think about that . It shouldnt be. She shouldnt have to worry. But the sad truth is, because of our president , it is a divide. Reporter 8 of black voters voted for President Trump in 2016 according to a cbs news exit poll. Robert baker who you heard from was not one of them. He actually called himself a never ever trumper who voted for a third party candidate. Baker says he changed his mind when he saw the positive impact omic. A h i d wl h. Jus sromes t that one or two things to look at and that is what professor belk was explaining when you look at home ownership, you look at wealth disparity, there are still a lot of things you cant say, oh, everybody is doing much better. He highlighted that obviously in the piece. But it will be interesting because you have more africanamerican men that also support trump and fewer africanamerican women. As always, you have to go beneath the headline. I think it is very troubling what his daughter was worried about her father because children are listening and watching and seeing and what theyre thinking, you know, based on what they see out there matters. It does. That 84 disapproval rating among africanamericans is pretty imposing for the president. Not disapproval. Think he is a racist. Thats 83 . Oh, sorry. One over. Jericka, thank you. Ahead well talk to the author of a new book who says changing our food choices can help save our health and the good thursday morning to you. Another repeat performance of yesterday, so sunshine and mild to warm aboveaverage daytime highs as we head through our afternoon. On the flip side, as we head out the door, 32 in San Francisco. 74, oakland. 77 in concord and 78 for san jose. More clouds for tomorrow. Cooler for the weekend.

For our series pushing the limits, we meet a blind entrepreneur making rock climbing accessible to the visually impaired. 22year legos t too h help peoeoplee cl theyey canant see. Cbs this momorniningss satu cohost davivid jacobson spenen evening at central rock gym near boston to learn how the system relies on memory and touch. Dana, how did they come up with the idea . It was crazy. It was a back story. He was born without sight and prevented him from building legos. At 13, with the help of a friend to create instructions in braille for lego sets. That work inspired with the Lego Foundation and last year they announced a rollout of audio and braille building instructions for some of the kits. Now, taking that love of legos, the innovation, shifrin is helping the visuallyo know its no easy feat. Above your Left Shoulder even with perfect vision. Left foot. But Matthew Shifrin is proof that in climbing. Straight up. Lack of sight is a comparable obstacle. Climber comes to the wall, looks at it and then is able to really think their process through before they get on the wall. I was thinking, you know, theres got to be a way to create a system so that blind people can feel climbing roots before they climb. Bring your right foot to left knee. Step through. That system relies on the caller, the eyes on the ground to mockup the wall using legos. Each lego, each piece represents a different type of foothold that hell know. Yeah. Shifrins caller is max hernandez. In a matter of minutes i can see it now. Not even kidding. Now it makes sense. He converts this wall into this map of legos. This is when it gets steep and traversing right. Then you have a creates scarring and results in complete blindness. He says in many ways legos gave him eyes. How do legos help you see the world around you . Theyve miniaturized the world because when blind people touch things, touch is sequential. When you build with legos, the scale is so small and so convenient that youre able to take in entire buildings, entire city scapes with a single hand. The idea that something thats a childs toy could open up the world for you, i think its pretty incredible to some people. Its thrilling. A sentiment echoed by visually impaired climbers mandi curtis and justin proctor. How have legos made you a better climber . Matt brought this to the way you can take legos and really write out a climb in a very tactile way helps me understand not even the precision of the shapes of the holes, but the way the climb is going to know. Justin, how about for you . I thought it was an amazing idea. Legos, you can come up to the route, the routes change often. You can move from climb to climb without that lag time. Proctor has a degenerative eye condition which over time caused him to lose all his vision. I like to push the envelope. But i know what my limits are too, at the same time. Curtis has sight in only one eye. Which she describes as looking through a doors peephole. Why is it important that somebody that has a limitation do a sport like this . I think the thing is, like, we always think about disabilities as limiting. But the truth is, like, its not the disability that limits the person, its the world that we live in that limits people. Its become shifrins personal mission to keep paving the way giving the disabled community more access. I think its really up to us to always be energized. As disabled people or just people who think from a different perspective. Everyone deserves the thrill of doing something that they never thought was possible. Shifrin hopes that this lego system will be used as the paralympics and adapted to sports like skiers so blind skiers can know what to expect when they go down a slope. He never stops thinking. He looks at different ways to help the visually impaired really experience life. I get goose bumps. Everyone deserves the thrill of being able to do something that they never thought was possible. I got goose bumps when he said that. I want to make sure i keep that. I also like to, what a lovely tribute to legos. Weve done a couple of great lego stories recently. Remember there was one about the ramp. The grandmother. Building a ram. Bravo legos. A childs toy. We all played with. It all started because when he was a kid, somebody knew him well knew that he wanted and needed that access to build one set. Now lego has the sets for everyone as well. Dana, i love in your piece when you say i can see it, i can really see t im not kidding. Literally on that lego set, you se e exa nctot even trying to be nic here. This really is there. We always do that. I love creativity. Love it, love it. Thank you, dana, very much. Ahead, we celebrate black History Month, actress viola davis and others reflect hon. The people who inspired them.

A 34 minute ride into foster city. And taking a look at the bay bridge toll plaza, 12 minute ride across the bay bridge. Okay, michelle, you can see plenty of sunshine on michelles live traffic cameras. Here is another view with our Treasure Island camera. And we will continue with sunshine as we head through the day.

When i came home from prison so i got involved in juvenile justice, i didnt want them to go through the same thing i went through. Michael bloomberg created the young mens initiative. In helping keep other young men and young women from entering into the criminal justice system. And we see it, we see it in young people being employed. We see young people being removed out the system. Running for president , what better platform for him to speak about real justice, real reform. Im Mike Bloomberg and i approve this message. Welcome back to cbs this morning. Its that time again. My favorite time to talk to the table we call it. Were sitting here at the table picking out stories that we like to share with each other and all of you. Anthony, youre first. I want to pay tribute to best selling author clive cussler. He died in arizona at 88. He wrote more than 85 books, including raise the titanic and hes best known for sea adventure series. His books sold more than 100 million copies. He was also a maritime explorer who nound founded the National Underwater and Marine Agency which discovered shipwrecks. He had an extraordinary collection of classic cars. He was obsessed with them. In 1998, more than 20 years ago, i took a ride with clive in his 1929 duz en berg. He had more than 80 cars in the collection. Incredible. He told me when i talked to him in, he said i was told early on, dont write adventure books, they dont sell. As it turns out, they were very wrong. He was i was interviewing him about a book, sea hunters, finding shipwrecks and he dedicated it to his three kids. They grew up with a father who never grew up. Anthony, i think about your library that you did this 20 years ago. Youre like oh, yeah, i did that too. When i told the folks, dig up this old interview, i cant remember how long ago it was. 22 years. Like yesterday. I have an important warning of a financial scam here. One of the stars of the reality show shark tank says she was a victim theyre calling it a phishing scam but its a digital con job. Bore bra corcoran was scammed out of 4 hup ,000. Her bookkeeper received an email about an invoice and it appeared to be from corcorans assistant, a trusted source. Approving payment for a real estate renovation. Corcoran was not suspicious because shes got a lot of money and invests in lots of real estate and does this kind of thing all the time. She wired the money and the Lesson Learned is, that money, if it doesnt go to the intended recipient, you cant get it back. They call this a phishing scam. What it really is, is a con job. It nearly happened to me as well. I remember you talking about this. We were trying to buy a house. Fraudsters hack in to someone you trusts account, your lawyer or Real Estate Agent and they impersonate the people you trust. By the way, the payment is due right now. Heres the wiring instructions. You almost sent the money. If not for a final check the bank did, we would have been completely taken. That money is gone. Its good that h easily it c happen. You look at an email quickly. If its off by one dimg it, i wouldnt notice it. Its the difference between getting a house and n getting a house. If you are wiring money, whatever the amount is, call the intended recipient. You cant falsify a phone call. Call them up and say, confirming that you sent me this email and the money is going to you. You cant be embarrassed or think its a stupid moment because that could happen to anybody. More embarrassing when the among person gets the money. Thats the most embarrassing. My turn. Were talking about the broadway play, to kill a mockingbird. This was a very, very special performance because it took place in an iconic arena. It was staged at Madison Square garden. The audience was made up of 18,000 new York City Public School students and their chaperones. The best part, they got to see the play for free. The regular cast, including ed paris, at cuss finch, took part. It was the first time they hosted a theatrical production. Special recognition to the producers who came up with the idea. Kids after the play, they said theyve never been to broadway or seen a broadway play. For some, theyve read the book. To see it at this magnitude was cool. Normally aits the shubert. Performed for 18,000 people. They practiced in a warehouse in Long Island City to prepare. I think thats such a cool thing to do and allows people to have an experience to see a broadway play that never get a chance to see it. Live theater is thrilling no matter where. Thats so special that they pulled that off. Very well done. Well done, indeed. The Worlds Largest rain forest is being destroyed at an alarming rate. Destructive fires tore through massive sections of the amazon rain forest last summer. Even before that, it had lost 20 of its land mass to deforestation in the last four decades. Executive producer Adam Yamaguchi hiked into the rain forest in brazil to see whats driving the forest loss. He uncovered surprising Financial Connections right here in the u. S. Reporter these agents, an arm of Environmental Ministry say the first step in deforestation is clearcutting valuable timber, whether legally or like this logging operation, illegally. Look at how huge they are. The authorities that were following have said they routinely come across operations like this deep inside the forest. This is one step, one part of the process in seeing the forest being dismantled. Since 1965, brazil has enactedm destruction. And from development on the stability of its ecosystem. It encroaches on the land of indigenous tribes. But enforcement is increasingly difficult. In this area of the rain forest, there is an average of just one agent for every 25 million acres. The amazon rain forest itself is reaching a tipping point. The ecosystem would collapse and turn into asa vanna or a dry forest and nopt be the diverse rain forest it is. How close are we to that . Well, in recent weeks and months, scientists have said that were within maybe a couple of years at the rate that dee forestation is happening. Adam yamaguchi joins us now. There are financial ties between the u. S. And the logging going on in the amazon. What are they . Absolutely. American companies are investing in and providing credit, Financial Institutions are providing credit to companies in brazil that are directly involved in did he forestation. Were a large and ready market for brazilian crops, soy, grown and sometimes illegally deforested land come to the u. S. It means simply cutting down the trees. There are so many people that dont know are why this matters. Whats the most important thing to know . As one of the interview subjects said in the piece, we are nearing a tipping point. Theres still plenty of amazon left. Thats what people sometimes fail to understand. Theres plenty left, but you can only cut so much down before you completely start to alter the local and the global ecology and environment around the amazon. So thats dramatically dropping. The other thing is, you think back to august of 2019, some of the loudest voice that is were critiquing brazilian government when it came to the deforestation of the amazon our money is being put to work to help the companies do that. What surprised you the most in your filming down there . Traffic jams. Im from l. A. Im used to that. What kind of traffic jams . Id be traveling hundreds of miles deep into the amazon and encountering at one point encountered 24 kilometers of 18wheelers, nose to tail, jammed on the road transporting goods from inside the amazon to port cities and beyond. It speaks to how much is being hollowed out of the amazon right now. Amazing. Its not an infinite resource. Adam, thank you very much. You can watch his newest episode of new series, reverb, its called complicit, the amazon fires and its streaming right now at cbs news. Com complicit. A new book says food is the basis for some the worlds biggest problems from chronic disease to Climate Change. What we can do good thursday morning to you.

Im tom steyer and i approve this message. Author mark hyman. He said food can be a powerful tool to fight this. Good morning. Good morning. Lets talk about food and the growing epidemic of disease. Its striking. Recent study of 195 countries came out that showed 11 Million People die every year from eating ultraprocessed food. Which are basically made from corn, soy and wheat that are the commodity crops that is 60 of our diet in america and 6 out of 10 americans have a chronic illness caused primarily by food. Its fixable by food. Is that diet the typical diet in america because of money, because of we like the flavor of it . What is it . Its a consequence of good intentions back in after the war when we funded the production of inrialagriculture. Backfired on us because the food were producing, its making us sick and overweig42 overweight. One in ten severely overweight. Were having enormous costs from that. The cost to our economy, one in five dollars in the economy is for chronic disease and in health care. One in three medicare dollars is for diabetes alone. We have this huge epidemic driven by foot and can be fixed by eating a different diet. We really didnt have bad intentions but weve got to fix it. Youre practically screaming in the book, were dying unnecessarily, not paying attention. What do you want us to do . You have to Say Something to get peoples attention otherwise it sounds like white noise. Of course. The beautiful things the cost to our society is clear. The cost to our children, cognitive function, the cost to national security. 7 out of 10 are for the economy. Change your own way of eating to eat more whole foods which sounds like something weve heard before but it works. If we eat real food instead of processed food, we help our children. You know, we help solve issues. Then we need to focus on how the government can change these things. Thats why you say vote with your fork and wallet and voice. By having the government focus on food as medicine in policies. Reforming and modernizing Government Policies around the food system and agriculture. We can actually make a huge difference. Organic food is available but its more expensive. Its very difficult for people. It is. You actually can eat more on the whole foods side, which is going to help move things forward rather than commodity or ultraprocessed foods. We can get people focused on that, it wl make a huge difference. There are obstacles. Change is you mentioned the cost. Trying to change cost money and also time. A lot of time people dont have time to prepare a meal every night. Its tood actually cook is a myth. Thats a myth . Its a myth. Im very busy but i cook and i think its just a matter of skill. If you know how to do something well. I cooked last night. I had to go to three stores, baby strapped to me to avoid the oil splashing on his feet. You see a connection between nutrition and Mental Health. Absolutely. So we look at the data. Were seeing an epidemic of Mental Illness in the country. Its one of the big drivers of cost. If you swap out healthy food for processed food, depression rates go down. We see prisons, Violent Crime goes down by up to 60 when prisoners swap out processed food for whole foods. The data is clear between Mental Health and our food. You know, we always hear eat healthy. Dont you think we know that as a people but yet were still not doing it the way we need to. We arent. I dont think people understand the link between whey eating and how they feel. The chronic diseases theyre suffering from and how to fix it. Thats what needs to happen. Our government needs to Pay Attention to the issues. That should be the most important political conversation of our campaign because food is driving all these other problems that are silent. You said theres a connection between what Adam Yamaguchi was talking about. The deforestation is to raise soy and for feeding cattle and industrial meat which are harming our health and the planet at the same time. Dr. Mark hyman, thank you so much. The book is food fix and its on sale now. The podcast, uber whistleblower sue son fowler was here last week. Talks about taking on alleged Sexual Harassment hailing company.

And thats how mike will get it done as president. Im Mike Bloomberg and i approve this message. Fisnt just about polar bears. Were fighting for our lives, were fighting for clean air and clean water.

Weve been leaders in education the arts and politics who has inspired them. Tyson. She was a physical manifestation of a dream. When i saw her, she made me believe that i could do it. I saw myself in her. The person i consider a trailblazer is ida b. Wells. She only wanted to do reporting that was going to expose racial inequality. Thats the driving passion of my own reporting. Brad hampton was the same age as my students when a difference i tell my students, her never too young to have a voice. Augusta baker. Shes an unsung hero of the literary world. I use her history and shine her light. You can hear all of their stories on our website. Cbs news. Com black history and on our instagram page. I like what he said. Youre never too young to have a voice. Thats why its so important to see all these different faces and all these different voices to let you know what is possible. Trailblazers then.

In the traffic center, were tracking a new crash th morning. This is in the south bay on northbound 680 near highway 130. Lanes are blocked in that area. And you can see it is affecting traffic and the speed down to 25 Miles Per Hour. Heres a look at your south bay drive times. Everything in the red this morning. Including 87, highway 85 to highway 101 is going to take you about 90 minutes. Taking a look at 880, heading into oakland, you can see a lot of congestion in the commute direction there. Slow go as you head on i80 or 880, sorry about that. San mateo bridge, looking like a 35 minute drive across the span from hayward into foster city. Anywhere taking a look at the bay bridge toll plaza, where you can see cars are still picking up at the toll plaza. But it is a 15 minute drive across the bridge. Mary . All right, okay, michelle, were going to continue with that sunshine and warm daytime highs. Will above average for this time of year so very similar to yesterday. Here is a beautiful live look with our sutro cam, looking at the golden gate. And it is sun shining down on our golden gate bridge. So heres what you can expect. We will continue with sunshine, for warm, above average temperatures. Just for tomorrow. More clouds for your body but still mild. Cooler with stronger onshore flow for the weekend and a slight chance of a shower or sprinkle on sunday for the far south bay or east bay. For the meantime, for most of us, 74 in oakland. 78 for san jose. More clouds friday, much cooler for the weekend. In fact, sunday, all of us will be in the 50s with that slight chance of a shower. But i was relentless first. Relentless about learning the first song we ever danced to. About teaching him to put others first. About helping her raise her first child. And when i was first diagnosed, my choice was everyday verzenio. Its the only one of its kind that can be taken every day. It gives us more time without cancer progressing. Verzenio is the only cdk4 6 inhibitor approved with hormonal therapy that can be taken every day for postmenopausal women with hr , her2 mbc. Diarrhea is common, may be severe, or cause dehydration or infection. At the first sign of diarrhea, call your doctor, start an antidiarrheal, and drink fluids. Before taking verzenio, tell your doctor if you have fever, chills, or other signs of infection. Verzenio may cause low white blood cell counts, which may cause serious infection that can lead to death. Lifethreatening inflammation of the lungs can occur. Talk to your doctor if you have new or worsening trouble breathing, cough, or chest pain. Serious liver problems can happen. Symptoms include tiredness, appetite loss, stomach pain, and bleeding or bruising. Blood clots that can lead to death have occurred. Tell your doctor if you have pain or swelling in your arms or legs, shortness of breath, chest pain, rapid breathing or heart rate, or if you are pregnant or nursing. My relentless reason its them. My choice with my doctor its verzenio. Ask your doctor if everyday verzenio is right for your first treatment.
