realizing how much of a detention of their family roots, their cultural ways, and even their language has been maintained in the gullah give chi nation. it travels down just above st. augusti augustine, florida. along the coastline is still the homeland of the gull gullah geechee people. rice, cotton, and indigo were not just the major three commodities sold out of this rage. the main one was black gold, black cargo, what they called our ancestors who today people refer to as gullah geechee. if people come in and drive right by and go on the main thoroughfares or just go late out in the sun they miss the heart of what is truly here. the people who are still the descendants of those who shape this entire country that many

want to celebrate today. but as i always say at the gullah geechee nation, must take care of the root to heal the tree. >> i'm a cultural anthropologist. people usually come to understand or recognize that they are gullah give ceechee by seeing someone do something associated to gullah geechee people. when she begins speaking gullah, they hear something their grands parents said or the way something is pronounced and it's almost like a revival to see people say my grandma ma did that. she put moss in her shoes when she went into a seam tear. we made tea out of this particular plant for blood thinner and i say, well, those are all, you know, cultural livways you have inherited you don't even realize are gullah

geechee. this is what we can learn from gullah geechee culture, that you always take a moment to pay respect to your dead, to honor your breath, to honor that you're alive because someone else may have done something or, you know, may have held onto a tradition that brought them through. hello p.. i'm don lemon. a tragic accident near warren, ohio. six teenagers were killed and two wounded when their suv crashed into a pond. the victims ranged in age from 14 to 19. dive teams helped rescue the two survivors. authorities say the suv appeared to be overloaded and no one was wearing a seat belt. growing outrage in pakistan

where christians say they have been targeted. christians took to the streets of lahore protesting a rash of violence in their neighborhoods. more than 100 homes were set fire yesterday after a christian man allegedly made remarks against a muslim prophet mohammed. we're told many christians have fled the area over fear of being killed. first vote for the next pope will happen tuesday. cardinals will gather for the papal conclave in vatican saturday. the 115 cardinals wip keep voting until a winner emerges. when the next pope has chosen, white smoke will emerge. nelson mandela is out of the hospital. the 94-year-old nobel laureate returned home following what was called a scheduled checkup and overnight stay. mandela has grown frail over the years and rarely appears in public. newly appointed defense secretary chuck hagel is facing

his first big test. during his visit in afghanistan today, afghan president hamid karzai accused the u.s. with colluding with the taliban. he charged the taliban is working with foreigners in order to justify a continued american presence in the country. a joint news conference between karzai and hagel was then canceled. >> we did discuss those comments. i told the president it was not true, that the united states was unilaterally working with the taliban in trying to negotiate anything. the fact is that any prospect for peace or political settlements, that has to be led by the afghans. >> hagel and karzai later met over dinner and an attempt to smooth over the dispute. relations between the two countries have been strained in recent weeks over a number of security issues and plans to

withdraw u.s. troops by next year. the agency in charge of airline security, the tsa, surprised everyone a few days ago announcing we'll soon be able to take pocketknives and other banned items onto commercial airplanes. knifes, bats, sticks, thousands of them have been taken away from passengers at airports since shortly after the 9/11 attacks. allowing them on board again is not sitting well with people who fly for a living and some lawmakers. lisa is in washington watching reaction to this change in security rules. so, lisa, why the change now? and who has a problem with it? >> right. okay, first, why the change now. the leader of the tsa says they have been studying this for years and that they figured out through that assessment that knives actually no longer pose the risk of breaking into a cockpit, allowing a terrorist to take control of the plane or to blow up the plane. so the tsa says knifes like you see here are actually not a

catastrophic threat, and these are the knives that tsa says will now be allowed. they are knives with blades that are no longer than 2.36 inches and they are also knives that do not lock in place. so that's why the change now. who has a problem with it? well, for one, senator chuck schumer of new york. add news conference today urging the tsa to change its mind. he said if it didn't, he might try to make them. >> if the tsa refuses to go along we would consider legislation and my guess is it would be large bipartisan support. i don't know anybody who has defended the tsa on this on the merits because it just doesn't make any sense. >> now, there is more opposition, not just lawmakers. look at this petition on white house.gov. this was put up the day this policy announced. it's being pushed by unions representing flight attendants. it's a petition opposing a new knife policy and so far, as you can see there, it has more than 18,000 signatures. flight attendants, don, are

worried about their personal safety. what tsa is saying is it's prioritizing on large-scale things like bombs, things that can bring down an entire plane. so it's a bit like the whole versus the individual. i spoke with a tsa spokeswoman. she gave us this statement. she said that the tsa looked at its threat assessment level and that their decision was driven by that threat assessment as part of their overall risk based security approach. the tsa statement went on to say that they believed that removing small knives from prohibited items would not call catastrophic damage. >> and, lisa, this is not the only thing to watch in regards to flying, right, this week? there's a big deadline for some airports slated to close their control towers thanks to those forced budget cuts. >> yeah. small and medium-sized airports. there's about 200 of them that are very nervous right now because they are on a list for control tower shutdowns. again, forced by those forced budget cuts that you talk about.

the faa says it doesn't have enough money to man all these control towers. so these airports, and there's one right there, hagerstown, maryland, on the list, they have until wednesday, don, to make their case that they should stay open. closures would start april 7th, and i want to point out that this doesn't necessarily mean the airports would have to close, just the tower. pilots could fly in without talking to a control tower if you believe that or not, and then they also could talk to a nearby tower instead. now, would this affect a lot of people? the faa says these towers that are slated for closure handled about 6% of commercial flights last year, so not a huge number but we know people flying in and out of columbus, georgia, and all these other small airports, it means a big deal to them. >> lisa, thank you so much. a long plane ride with osama bin laden's son-in-law could provide an intelligence windfall for the u.s. the al qaeda propagandaist gave a 22-page long statement to

investigators during his jorny from jordan to work. the conversation is confirmed by a u.s. official and is expected to be used in the government's case to prove he helped conspire to kill americans and recruited al qaeda members. i'm about to take you live to seoul, south korea, right now. that's where more than a cautious eye is looking northward today. north korea officials swore to take away the cease-fire agreement that ended the korean war 60 years ago. strong threats and strong language from north korea are nothing new, but north korea's top leadership is new. cnn's anna corn is in seoul right now for us. anna, it's monday morning there. any indication that north korea has done anything more than just threaten to remove the armistice? >> reporter: don, not at this stage. we don't have any word from north korea to say that it has nullified the armistice agreement, which as you say ended the korean war back in 1953, but certainly they have been the threats that we've been hearing all of last week. this was in the lead up to those

u.n. sanctions that were passed unanimously by the security council. we also had that threat of a pre-emptive nuclear strike on the united states and on south korea and then yesterday, don, we also heard from north korea that it was ready for war. so all this rhetoric, we are used to it, but not at this capacity, not at this intensity, which is why people here in seoul are a little bit concerned as to what this could mean. could this mean a military provocation from north korea? a raid or an armed skirmish to make the rest of the world take notice of north korea and to obviously get the attention of the united states, don? >> so, anna, the north koreans really want this joint training exercise, u.s. and south korean troops, to be canceled. are they going ahead with this training? >> reporter: most definitely. this is something that happens every year. so these joint military exercises between the united states and south korea, they

kick off today. these exercises happen all throughout the year, but these specific exercises they do kick off today, and this is due to coincide with north korea saying it will scrap the armistice. so north korea is also planning its own set of military drills. it's important, don, to perhaps take a look at what the north koreans have as far as a military. 1.2 million soldiers. it is a heavy militarized state, but what its daownfall is its navy and air force. you have to remember, too, that south korea is protected by the united states. there's something like 28,000 u.s. troops who are stationed here on the korean peninsula. if there was to be any outbreak of war, the sthits wouunited sts would be there to support south korea. >> anna coren, we appreciate it. we have seen the emotion north

koreans have shown toward their leader. we got another look at that when kim jong-un visited with troops. it gets pretty bizarre. >> we're not sure when this video was made. the troops obviously overcome with emotion followed him as he boarded a boat. many of them running into the frigid water just to get closer to him. this is apparently near the border with south korea. a son is desperate to see his dying mom, but before he can be with her, he has to catch a connecting flight with only minutes to spare. an impossibility. what happened next is something you'll never forget and neither will he. your new jetta! and you want to buy one like mine because it's so safe, right? yeah... yeah... i know what you've heard -- iihs top safety pick for $159 a month -- but, i wish it was more dangerous, like a monster truck or dune buggy! you can't have the same car as me!

flight attendant came back and said the pilot was asking for the flight number for my flight from houston to lubbock. i'm guessing what happened next is that they radioed ahead and made sure that everyone along the way was aware of what was happening. i got to spend the night with her and my dad in the hospital room that night, and about 4:00 a.m. was her last moment of coherence where she woke up, and then the following moment she was dead, and had i not made that flight from houston to lubbock, i would not have been able to say good-bye. >> when he returned, drake wrote united a letter thanking them for going the extra mile. if you live in the big apple, get ready for some big changes beginning this week. the city is taking mayor bloomberg's latest crusade to the public. you've heard about it, a ban on those large sugary drinks. is it a good idea or a bad case of big brother is watching you? i pose this question to david hersan ism

hersani, talk show host. first some background. >> reporter: along with that cup of coffee, a side order of new rules. dunkin' donuts is handing out these flyers on how new regulations spills over into its coffee business. it's part of the ban on super sized sugary drinks that goes into effect tuesday as part of the city effort to fight obesity. to comply, dunkin' donuts will no longer put sugar in coffee over 16 ounces. you'll have to do it yourself. >> tuesday in new york city they will put the sugar in if it's a medium but if you order large coffee you have to put it in yourself. okay, jerry, i mean, do you find this ridiculous? >> i find it ridiculous that mayor bloomberg, if you remember back in 2010, they put out the

healthy heroine brochure. i think they spent like $35,000 for 70,000 brochures and there were 16 steps they told you you needed to take in order to be healthy when you're doing heroin, and bloomberg said, look, if you're going to do certain things, you might as well do them as healthy as possible. i would have to think the same would apply to a sugary beverage as it would to heroin or in reverse, don't do sugary beverages, don't to heroin. i find it a little odd that the mayor decided to take a firm stand on soda and not heroin. >> david, listen, sugar isn't bad. we know that it's not bad for you. after all, your book is called "the nanny state." is the mayor looking out for us or for people who can't look out for themselves? >> you know i'm sure his intentions are good but, you know, first of all, they're in infective laws. what they do, they reflect how government thinks they have a right to involve themselves in your life in every aspect.

so it reflects something larger that's corroding our government because they're busy trying to tell us what to drink rather than taking care of real problems almost everywhere across the country. >> okay. wendy, you're the human -- >> can i get in there, don? >> maybe people need to be saved. go ahead, wendy. >> okay. here is what you should know. in our anthropological past, there were trace nutrients, sugar, salt, and fat. we have an unfettered craving for these things. many of us can't control it. we have capitalized on it and made sure they put a large dose of that in everything they give us. how can we be making free choice when we're addicted to everything from sex and gambling to salt, sugar, and fat. and lest you think this is a nanny state, what this is is consumer protection. we have neofeudalism.

>> who was that? i don't know -- >> come on. >> i don't know if it was jerry or david. someone went uh, who was that? >> i think it was both of us. >> go ahead, david, why? >> so essentially what she's arguing is you can coerce people now on any level because essentially we're addicted to everything including sex. if we're addicted to sex why don't we dictate prom miscuity. why are we allowed to do whatever we went in the bedroom? it's a slippery slope that has no end if we buy the idea that we can't control our choices and behavior. >> jerry -- >> why not start somewhere? >> before i let jerry respond i want to play devil's advocate. wendy, i'm going ton on your side. a guy like bloomberg, maybe he's raising awareness. remember joule tgiuliani, ten yo people thought the smoking ban went too far. maybe they will like it and they'll realize this is good for me. maybe their wealth will go down and their health will get better. go ahead, jerry. >> i call it creeping

incrementalism. it's easy to go after cigarettes, tobacco, gambling, and drinking because that's the low hanging fruit. but eventually they want to worm their way into every nook and cranny of your english muffin life. i smoke cigarettes. it's really stupid. when you light something on fire and you breathe it in and your first reaction is to cough and shoot your eyeballs across the room, it's probably not good for you. i pay a premium on my health insurance for that. i'm going to die sooner than i should. i actually cull myself from the herd and save the system money. it's my right to smoke a legal fda approved product. it's my right to drink soda. it's my right to eat fatty foods. it's my right to gamble. it's my right. it's my life. and if we start to take away the individual's ownership of their own lives, what down the line in creeping incrementalism does the government then say they have the right to regulate. >> but doesn't that affect other people --

>> you guys are paranoid. you're paranoid. okay. you're absolutely scared and paranoid. >> i am? >> this is consumer protectionism. that's all this is. >> oh, come on. >> let's protect children. let's make sure if you give them mcdonald's toy there's enough vegetables and fruit in there. let's figure out what are the reward systems that our biology kravis and let's be careful that it's not exploited by corporations. that's all. >> that was just a small part of it. so if you want to see more conversations like that, make sure you tune into our show at 10:00 eastern on saturday nights. it's off the chain. it's a great show. okay. moving on now. having it all. sure it's a great slogan, but makeup maven bobbi brown seems to have achieved that goal. how she gets it all done and why she thinks there is no glass ceiling. coming up. matt's brakes didn't sound right... ...so i brought my car to mike at meineke...

have you ever heard of a type a minus personality?

that's just what makeup guru bobbi brown says she is. the wildly successful woman also says she's never even seen the glass ceiling. alina cho talked to brown in a special series airing this week, "what women want." >> makeup maven bobbi brown is not shy. >> 55. >> 55. >> you're not shy about it. >> i'm not shy about it. >> about her age or about her success. >> i never think about not being successful in what i do, and i think it's a combination of courage and being naive. i just think why not? you can use it on your lips too. >> reporter: brown started her company in 1991 with ten lipsticks. >> i was doing a shoot and i met a chemist and i explained to him my dream is to find a lipstick that looked like lips. >> reporter: the idea took off. she sold 100 in the first day. four years later, estee lauder's son leonard came calling. >> he said you have done such an amazing job with your company, we can't beat you in the stores

we're in. i'd love to buy you and i knew it was the right move. what mattered to me most was the integrity of the products and new creative ideas, but i also wanted to be available to be the best mom that i could be and the best wife i could be. >> reporter: brown sold but retains creative control. today bobbi brown cosmetics sells 21 million individual products a year. bobbi brown the woman is a self-described type a minus wife and mother of three. i hate to say juggling it all but i mean -- >> right. it's a lot. and people always say how do you do this? well, you know, some days work better than others. and maybe you will not have that top job because you do have three kids and a husband and you want your friends, so there are certain choices women make. pictures are great. even though i still do a lot of the little detail things myself. >> reporter: like take out the trash. the same week she lunches at the white house. or uses what could be wasted

time in the back of a car writing her books. what about this whole notion of a glass ceiling for women? >> i have never seen the ceiling, never. i don't see it. >> reporter: bobbi brown's world is one that includes an in office manicurist. why offer this? >> because we're a beauty company and also look at how much time it saves. a lot of the working moms would love to get a manicure. not one ever has to say to me, i can't make a meeting because, you know, my kid's first day of kindergarten or the school play. i get that. >> reporter: another of brown's priorities is giving back. >> brand new today. >> reporter: with every appearance on qvc, she donates $25,000 to dress for success. a nonprofit that gives career advice and professional clothing to underprivileged women. 100% of u.s. sales of this rouge pot also goes to the charity. >> look how pretty it is. >> reporter: empowering women by

making them feel their best. >> be who you are. that's my tag line. >> reporter: brown's secret to beauty and success. alina cho, cnn, new york. >> be who you are. amen, bobbi. am amen. after yahoo! ceo caused a national outcry for banning work from home, the conversation about women's career and home life balance has grown louder. beginning tomorrow cnn will focus on various aspects of this conversation throughout the day. make sure you watch "what women want," work and family, begins tomorrow on cnn. coming up tomorrow, queen elizabeth is expected to make a historic move, one that many believe will promote gay rights and gender equality in all british nations. to meeting patient needs... ♪ wireless is limitless.

a fire claimed seven lives at a home in rural southeastern kentucky. firefighters rushed to the scene yesterday and discovered the bodies of two adults and five children. family members say the couple was expecting another child. the woman was the mother of three of the children. the other two were sleeping over. new york city council speaker christine quinn has officially tossed her hat into the race for mayor. the democrat is vowing to be an advocate for the middle class. if elected, quinn would become new york city's first female and first openly gay mayor. current mayor michael bloomberg is expected to endorse her when he leaves office next year. and a member of sweden's royal family died today. they called her her royal highness princess lillian. born in the united kingdom she was best known in sweden for the storybook romance with the prince who would eventually become her husband. they weren't allowed to marry until they were in their 60s because she was a commoner. princess lilian died today.

britain's queen elizabeth will go on live television tomorrow and do something many people say is which overdue. she will sign a charter that demands equal rights for people in 54 countries of the commonwealth. if you read between the lines it means the british crown is going on record in support of equal rights for gays and lesbians. this is a first. our royal correspondent max foster has details from london. >> reporter: this is the first time that the 54 countries in the commonwealth -- document that really defines what that grouping is about. it's a very powerful grouping representing billions of people around the world. the interesting bit about this document which people are picking up on is this line that talks about those 54 countries opposing all forms of discrimination whether rooted in gender, race, color, creed, political, or other grounds. now, we're reading those other grounds as meaning sexuality,

gay rights. the problem is many of the countries involved her have laws against homosexuality in those countries. so the wording wouldn't have worked in the charter, but nevertheless, it is seen as covered by this other grounds caveat. the queen has never talked about gay rights in the past before, which is why so many people are interested in this, but i have to say, she's there in a ceremonial role. she only represents the commonwealth. she wouldn't have been part of the writing of this document or in any decisions really amongst those commonwealth countries. i do expect her to talk about the commonwealth charter, including everyone. so she's certainly putting it out there. perhaps a first step towards speaking more about gay rights but some gay rights campaigners certainly feeling that she should be able to say those words in this modern age. don? >> thank you, max. so i want you to imagine this. living with a borrowed brain.

that's exactly what one of my co-workers says she is doing. i heard her story, and i told her she needed to share it, and she's doing it. she's going to join me next. more than two years ago, the people of bp made a commitment to the gulf. and every day since, we've worked hard to keep it. today, the beaches and gulf are open for everyone to enjoy. we've shared what we've learned, so we can all produce energy more safely. bp's also committed to america. we support nearly two-hundred-fifty thousand jobs and invest more here than anywhere else.

we're working to fuel america for generations to come. our commitment has never been stronger.

so look at this face right here. how could you not love this face? i don't mean me. i mean her. well, all right, there's a picture of her. but i mean her on camera. that is a friend of mine, and she says she is living with a borrowed brain. it's still her brain but she says some days her brain feels pretty foggy. she can't read an entire book and sometime she struggles to remembers people's names. she's only 28 years old. lindsey is a fighter, an amazing woman who is brave enough to share her struggle to recover from a concussion. her car skidded on black ice just over a year ago. the accident turned her world upside down. i'm very proud to say i know

lindsey and she's here right now. not only is she a friend, she works on my team. she works in the "newsroom" and she works on my team sometimes. you went away for a while and i was like where did you go? you said i had a car accident. i told me your story and i said you should write about that. you came back and forth and you actually did write about it. >> i did write about it. >> and it's on cnn.com now. and it was number one on cnn.com for a while and it's called "living with a borrowed brain." . >> yes, it is. >> how did you get through this concussion? first, you thought you were going to die. >> i thought i was going to die when the car skidded. i thought i'm going to be hit by traffic and this is it. >> yeah. >> it's over. >> yeah. so how did you get through this? >> day by day, minute by minute. at first it seemed like i was fine. i walked away with no pain, no problem, and it wasn't until about a week later that i started to have symptoms and was diagnosed, and then it was like a downward spiral from then.

>> you would -- it was pain you to look at certain things like light. tell us about like flashes of light would hurt. >> it would pain me to look at light, every sound hurts, every time i would talk to people it was like i was struggling to even understand what they were saying. i was someone who would just read all the time and i couldn't even look at a sentence and really understand what was being said. >> yeah. it was only declarative sentences that you could understand. like complex sentences you could not get. >> i couldn't get it and i could not look at screens and understand what was going on. >> yeah. lindsey is one of the brightest people i know and for you, that's just -- that just must have floored you. were you wondering what the heck is going on? >> it was like my whole identity crashed in front of me. >> yeah. >> i went from this person who could do so much to a person who couldn't do anything in a matter

of moments and it was crazy. >> so you go to be check out, and they said they didn't really understand because brain injuries are something that is trying to get a grasp on what's happening and the research. it's still evolving. >> it is still evolving. for me they said you know, you have a concussion, and you should be better in a couple of weeks, and then in a couple weeks went by and i didn't get better. and then they said, well, you need to rest. and i thought, okay, well i'll just try to push through it. i'll push through the pain and i didn't get better. and then i finally did listen to the doctors and i rested and i didn't get better and i didn't get better. and months went by and i have been on a very, very long path now of trying to get better. but i do live in pain every day and i am affected by it. >> but you're 85% -- you're at 85% now you think. >> i am at 85% right now. but i do live and i hope every day that i go to 100% but i'm

also at peace. today i'm at peace with the fact that if i never get better or i never hit 100%, that's okay, too. >> yeah. but you will. you said this has changed you though in positive ways that you have more empathy for people, that you're more caring. you were a caring person before. you were snarky and you still are, but how has it changed you? >> i think it's changed who i am in that i understand that who i am is not based on what i do. it is based on how i treat people and how people treat me and who is in my life. because when i was in those moments when i couldn't do a lot, it was the people around me who kept me going. it was the people around me who take care of me, who fought for me, who continue to fight for me and continue to push me along in this journey and say, you're not allowed to give up. we're going to stay with you. >> you don't need a lot of people in your life, like some people think they need a lot of people in their life. young people think they need a bunch of friends. but if something traumatic

happens, you just realize you need good people. usually it's old friends. we have a mutual friend who we won't say, we say who are you? who is that person now? you know, and you don't necessarily need all those people. you have a book that you keep on your night stand that you can't read right now. but why do you keep it there? >> i keep it there to remind myself to keep going. that is my goal is to read this book, and it's been there for about six months, and i'm never going to take it off because to me i want to be able to read this book again. right now i can't. right now i can read about a couple paragraphs and then i can't usually remember what i just read. but one day i'm going to read that book again. >> and listen, we're telling lindsay's story not only because it's close to our heart but because brain injuries happen to a lot of folks. we usually hear about it with athletes. our dr. sanjay gupta has been doing a lot of stories about this, neurosurgeon who has been doing this. so you're not alone. there are many people who suffer

from the same injury, same concussion, same symptoms, same thing you're suffering from. >> yeah, through this article -- >> and so what advice would you give to them. >> i would say number one to people is do take it day by day, and to find people around you to help you get through. you're not going to be able to do it on your own. it's okay to be weak. it's okay to be vulnerable. it's okay not to be perfect and it's okay to make mistakes. >> yeah, yeah. thank you. what's two plus two. >> it's four! >> i said i was going to ask. thank you, lindsay. it's still on cnn on the main page. i'll see you. don't go anywhere. we'll be right back. ouncer ] ihe melts... made fresh and hot! hand crafted just for you. it's like a sexy sandwich.
