>> this morning's eye opener is presented by toyota. let's go places. >> welcome to "cbs this morning." we begin today with news about first lady melania trump. hospitalized for treatment for a kidney problem. the white house says doctors performed an embolization to treat a benign condition. >> it is the most significant medical procedure done on any sitting first lady in more than 30 years. >> the president visited his wife yesterday and tweeted she is doing, quote, really well. major garrett is at the white house. major, good morning. >> with the recent state dinner and her solo rose garden event last week, the first lady has increased her white house profile. now, her office would not disclose the underlying medical decision but we do know the surgical procedure required to treat it. this morning, the president said
7:04 am
she's doing well and will be released from walter reed hospital in 2 to 3 days. by the time president trump headed to the hospital monday, the first lady's office had already announced that melania trump successfully underwent an embolization procedure to treat a benign kidney condition. cbs news chief medical correspondent jon lapook said the procedure is typically used to cut the blood supply to a growth so it stops growing. >> in the days ahead, they'll be looking for any kind of complication, bleeding, infection, but the expectation after a procedure like this generally is for people to do very well. >> reporter: the first lady showed no signs of illness as recently as late last week. she helped welcome three americans freed from north korea and launched her new be best initiative. >> together, let's encourage children to dream big, think big and do all they can to be best in everything that they do. >> reporter: the president praising his wife. >> she's become a very, very

7:06 am
the blood supply to a lesion in order to shrink it or prevent bleeding. what we do is we take a catheter, which is a very small tube, almost a spaghetti size. it goes through an artery in the groin into one of the arteries that supply blood to the kidney. you find the smaller artery that's supplying blood to that particular lesion. through the catheter, you put through some kind of material that closes that blood vessel off so no blood or nutrients can get to the lesion, it shrinks and normally that tissue dies. >> it was interesting there were so few details. what they're saying is nonbenign, so not cancer. >> they said it's benign, so not cancerous. we have no idea which one she had. the most common one would be something called an angiomiolipoma, a collection of blood tissue, as well as muscle cells and fat cells can be found
7:07 am
in women in the middle age. or arterial-venous malformations. so typically it's an outpatient procedure. the fact she's staying in could mean her lesion was particularly complex or there can be complications, something called post embolization syndrome where you can get fever or pain. or other things like infection, contrast problem with the dye they use that affects the kidneys. >> doctor, thank you. the leaders of deadly anti-israeli protests in gaz za say today is the day for funerals. after yesterday's repeated clashes along israel's border. the white house blames hamas, the radical group that runs gaza, for the deadliest day of violence in nearly four years. the united nations condemned the
7:08 am
violence. >> reporter: they just buried two palestinian men killed at yesterday's protests here at the cemetery in the gaza strip. the death toll according to officials here is now more than 60. that is a stunning loss of life for many palestinians. they carried their dead to be buried here in gaza. including several children caught up in the bloodshed. more than 1,300 people are alive, but suffered gunshot wounds according to palestinian officials. most of the dead were killed along the border fence that separates the tiny poverty stricken gaza strip from israel. where tens of thousands of palestinians held angry demonstrations yesterday, furious after the u.s. embassy was moved to jerusalem. israel responded with deadly force. live ammunition aimed at those it says got too close to the
7:09 am
fence. the palestinians hope east jerusalem will one day be their capital if they ever get their own state. and they are furious over what they say is american bias towards israel. >> we are against the president trump -- >> reporter: hakam abushanab is a final analyst and one of the protesters. are you willing to die here? >> we don't have any other method we can use instead of, you know, dying here is the only way. >> reporter: the israeli military says it also launched air strikes yesterday, targeting a camp run by hamas, the militant group that controls the gaza strip. and israeli media is reporting that israel has threatened to assassinate hamas leaders if the violent protests continue. there were more protests planned for today to mark the 70th anniversary of what palestinians call their day of catastrophe following the founding of the
7:10 am
state of israel. but so far, very few demonstrators have gone to the border fence today, gayle. >> holly williams reporting from gaza, thank you. a new fissure is spewing lava and toxic gas in hawaii this morning. there are now 19 fissures threatening homes and people's health on the big island. the most active erupted for the first time over the weekend. there are now growing concerns that kilauea volcano could erupt in a massive steam explosion. david begnaud is there. >> reporter: good morning. we're on a ridge on a ladder because the vantage is better, and, boy, is it quite a show. we're watching these lava bursts come through the fissures, the cracks in the earth, that people who live here have their bags packed, ready to evacuate. in fact, they're sleeping at night with gas masks just beside the bed in case the wind shifts direction and toxic fumes start blowing this way. newly released video shows how violent and dangerous kilauea's
7:11 am
fissures remain. more than a week after the crisis began. there are now 19 active fissures. officials say the lava flowing from them is slowing but shows no sign of stopping. it's moving southward toward the ocean and growing closer to a premier evacuation route. >> it's a leader over a mile from highway 137. >> reporter: this is what the inside of the volcano looked like on monday of last week. filled with bubbling lava. but this is how it looked just five days later. the lava drained away and was no longer visible from above. >> we think the lava column is continuing to drop. we don't actually know if it's reached the water table or if it's gone below the water table. >> reporter: scientists say falling boulders could create a blockage and the possibility of massive steam explosions. tourism officials say the big island has lost more than $5 million due to canceled reservations. ann gornik has been watching the
7:12 am
lava burst from her meditation retreat where business is down 10%. >> people have canceled. >> reporter: what are they saying? >> they think it's not safe. even though the reservation is for september. >> reporter: this may sound like a crisis unfolding in slow motion but here's some context. only 5% of the big island is actually affected by this. so hawaiian officials are telling people please don't cancel your vacations. be aware of what's going on, but don't be scared. norah. >> important information, david begnaud in hawaii, thank you. president trump is condemning the leak of a cruel comment bien would y eiey eone about senator john mccain. according to a source, sadler says his opposition to a appointee doesn't matter because mccain is dying anyway. nancy cordes is on capitol hill. nancy, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. and now a number of republican lawmakers are calling on the
7:13 am
white house and this particular staffer to publicly apologize for those comments about john mccain. but president trump, by his own admission, has never been big on public apologies, and his team appears determined to follow his lead. >> if it were me, i would apologize. >> reporter: louisiana's john kennedy and several of his colleagues are urging white house communications aide kelly sadler to issue a public mea culpa. >> i don't know whether she's stupid or not, but she sure made a bad decision. >> reporter: sadler was in a white house meeting last week when john mccain's opposition to cia nominee gina haspel came up. according to a white house source, sadler joked about the 81-year-old senator who is battling brain cancer, quote, it doesn't matter, he's dying anyway. colleagues leaked her comments to reporters. >> it's going to be dealt with and has been dealt with internally. >> reporter: deputy white house press secretary raj shah deflected comments about sadler,
7:14 am
instead focusing on leaks. >> that creates a difficult work environment. >> i said everything i really had to say on friday. >> reporter: mccain's daughter meghan co-hosted the daytime talk show "the view" said the white house shouldn't be surprised. >> if you're working in the white house, you should expect everything you're saying in any context to be leaked. >> reporter: republican strategist matt schlapp whose wife worked in the white house came to sadler's defense. >> she's also a little bit of a victim here. >> reporter: but mccain occupies a special place in the senate. >> one thing about our colleague john mccain, you'd rather be on his side than not. >> reporter: and some republicans say the best way to move past this would be to, quote, show some respect and apologize. >> this culture of contempt is not healthy for anybody. >> reporter: now, sadler did apologize personally to meghan mccain and told her, according to our sources, that she would
7:15 am
be making a public apology. so far that hasn't happened. kellyanne conway, a white house adviser did indicate last night that there might be some staffing changes at the white house, gayle, as a result of these leaks. >> all right, nancy, thank you very much. >> you know, it's interesting to me is people are joining this debate and keeping it going because it's a debate about civility. >> that's right. >> it's how we talk about one another. especially at some of the most vulnerable moments. this is a moment that demands civility. >> when you double down on something that people find so egregious, it just continues and continues. we're still talking about this story days later because of that. >> and you know, inside the white house, the president's concerned about leaks. there are two ways to stop leaks. you crack down on them or set an example of public behavior so everybody says i don't want to leak because i don't want to besmirch a white house that is holding that kind of standard. this is a situation where, you know, the standard is at question here and it is going to keep going on. >> i also wonder, now, too, if the apology does come, you feel it's sincere, since you had to be beaten to do it.
7:16 am
>> remember, gayle, at the heart here is a man who has a very serious -- it's another human being who is ill and facing a very tough road. i mean, that can get lost here too. >> that's what everybody's thinking about. nancy, we thank you. missouri's embattled governor is declaring victory today after prosecutors abruptly dropped a felony charge against him. republican eric greitens had been accused of taking and transmitting an explicit photo of his mysteiss mistress. prosecutors say they will still pursue this case. they will meet on friday to consider impeachment. >> a northern california man is behind bars and his wife is out on bail after police say he tortured their ten children over at least three years. police removed the children from the couple's fairfield home in march. that's when investigators say officers discovered filthy living conditions, including floors covered by animal and human waste.

7:18 am
legal and constitutional rights. >> reporter: the case is reminiscent of another california family. in january, david and louise turpin pleaded not guilty to torture, child abuse and other charges for allegedly starving and shackling their children. ina rogers says her family's case is a misunderstanding. >> we're going to fight till the end until we get them back and we are cleared of all these crazy allegations. >> reporter: allen will face his next court appearance related to the charges next thursday. for "cbs this morning," jamie yuccas. hollywood is remembering the life of actor margot kidder this morning. she is best known for starring alongside christopher reeve in the superman movies. she was ace reporter lois lane. >> easy, miss, i've got you. >> you've got me. who's got you? >> i remember that. kidder was also an outspoken

"48 hours'" erin moriarty is back again with the latest on
7:32 am
robinson's difficult path to freedom. when we left yesterday, we said i hope that he gets good news. >> but it almost didn't happen. it almost didn't. two weeks ago, the missouri supreme court ordered david robinson's release. but he was still being held in prison. the department of corrections stalled last night saying they wanted clear direction before releasing him. last night, robinson's attorneys filed an emergency motion to have him freed, and it worked. [ cheers ] david robinson walked out of a jefferson city prison on monday night after nearly 18 years. he finally got to hug his mom as a free man. >> i love you, mama. >> i love you, too. >> reporter: it was an emotional reunion that almost didn't happen. hours before, family members waiting outside spoke with robinson on the phone as his attorneys worked to have him released. on monday, robinson's attorneys
7:33 am
filed an emergency petition describing his situation as "a miscarriage of justice that requires immediate intervention." >> i think that it's certainly fair to say that the institutions have failed david for the past 17 years. >> reporter: his release brings to an end a legal struggle that began when he was wrongfully convicted in the 2000 murder of sheilah boggs at this intersection. >> living a nightmare, you know, up and down roller coaster. >> reporter: robinson was sentenced to life without parole on the word of two palestinians informants. both of whom later recanted. another man, romanze mosby, later confessed to the crime. in 2009, mosby took his own life. in february, a judge appointed by the missouri supreme court found that by clear and convincing evidence, david

[ applause ] >> it's hard not to be emotional. robinson would not have been released had it not been for a hard-working team of attorneys who believed in his innocence and offered their services free of charge. robinson and his attorneys have not said whether they plan to file a lawsuit. i really should also give a lot of credit to the southeast -- "the southeast missourian" and its editor. they did this investigation long before anybody was looking at the case and kept a spotlight on it. >> i see you don't want to give yourself credit, but david robinson, in an interview with reporters, said that he wanted
7:35 am
to thank you because you certainly gave also attention to this story, erin. bravo. it's tough to look at that story and see his tears of joy. a good thing. >> but it worries me because if we don't know about a case, how many other david robinsons are out there? i get letters all the time. sometimes they're hard to read. and i put them aside. i worry about this all the time. >> last year there were 136 people released after being wrongly imprisoned. there are others. >> the appellate system -- no one's saying that -- the appellate system has to be changed. we used to believe that the jury system worked perfectly. now because of dna we know it doesn't. as we saw in the david robinson case, it's very difficult to overturn a conviction. >> we're happy for him. these stories make a difference. >> erin, thank you. a reminder of great journalism. >> great work, erin. it's not clear this morning who will walk meghan markle down the aisle saturday. headlines dominating british papers say her father will not attend the royal wedding. thomas markle told tmz he worked with a photographer to stage

between capitalism and communism, freedom and oppression. this was in his bones so he could make those decisions, briefing books are important but comake those decisions on the fly with gorbachev. >> that's what secretary of state george schultz said was so amazing about reagan, his inherent belief that communism was never going to work, that that enabled him to get into these meetings and summits, and believe he had the upper hand, even if in negotiating he may not have. >> one of the things he's obviously an icon of the conservative movement but when he first started meeting with gorbachev, a lot of conservat e conservatives thought he's going to take you, upstage you, why are you doing this? he got a lot of grief from the right. >> remember, gorbachev was a rock star. he was this young up-and-comer, received by the world as someone who was really great at explaining things and conservatives were worried he was going to give up the store, reagan, and that meeting in reykjavik when he comes out and he's wearing a suit, and he walks to meet gorbachev and

national treasure >> how old is he? >> 93, and he remembers meetings like they were yesterday and i want to read a quote what he said about the negotiating of reagan his principles. number one, be realistic. number two, be strong, not just military strength, economic strength, but then more than that, have strength of purpose. number three, figure out what it is you want. don't start thinking about what other people want, because you'll be negotiating with yourself. just what you want. then when you have all that straight, sit down and negotiate, then you've got the hand to play. this is secretary schultz who were in those rooms, one of the only people in those rooms, and you know, there might be some lessons to be learned and summits to come. >> are you sending it over to anybody you know? >> i'm not, but i'm just putting it out there. >> as a leader, be open to lessons from other people. >> of course. >> there you go. >> so it's fascinating. >> always nice to have you at the table. >> congrats. >> what is the name of the book? >> "three days in moscow."
