7:34 am
later. five others were hit but survived. police arrested the 24-year-old. he admitted to killing rfk but said he had no memory of the event. he was standing in front of kennedy at the time of the shooting, but an autopsy report found kennedy was shot at point-blank range from behind. over the years, new evidence reportedly shows as many as 13 shots were fired that night, but the gun held only eight bullets. that's one reason why many now question his guilt, including robert kennedy jr. he tells the "washington post," there were too many bullets. >> it would be easy for somebody to slip up behind bob and shoot him, but he was not in position to shoot robert kennedy after his first two shots. he missed kennedy, shot me. >> reporter: rfk jr. is calling for a new investigation,

7:36 am
president john kennedy, we are still debating this decades later, and the truth appears to be out of our reach. >> it's interesting because he did confess, but then he said he had no memory of the shooting. >> indeed, he did. a judge weighed in, in 2016, and said, look, this guy definitely fired shots. was there a second gunman? how did no one see him? that's the big question. >> it's time to see what the other children think about this. tony, thank you. more than 8,000 starbucks locations will close their doors tomorrow afternoon for racial bias training. the training comes more than a month after two african-americans were arrested at a philadelphia starbucks after asking to use the store's restroom without buying anything. starbucks says the company's 175,000 employees will explore what bias means and how it shows up in their lives. the training will also focus on racial discrimination's impact in public accommodations. and tomorrow, starbucks founder and executive chairman howard schultz will talk about that training right here in

he's not a great swimmer. he said, if i learn how to swim, can i survive that? i thought, i don't know. but the motivation. >> i love the thinking of a 6-year-old. yo diridtoraid your you're a superhero without a cape. tell me about the process? >> i think he's referring to tami. i got really lucky. we performed 90% of it over the open ocean, which never happens. it was outside fiji. it would take us two hours by sea boat just to get there. it was remarkable. being in the open seas and being in the open element is so rare because we're used to sound stages and green screens. every day we went through what the woman went through. >> that can't be easy. i remember when they tried to shoot "jaws" on the open water, nothing worked.
8:45 am
>> it wasn't easy. we got lucky. i love the water and am a strong wimmer and sam is as well. the whole crew was willing to play ball. >> you learned to sail. >> i learned to sail. which is amazeling. i knew nothing about sailing beforehand. i don't know that i would choose to go sailing, but if i had to, now i can. >> you met the real life tami. she wanted you to play her. how did you take from her what went into this role? >> we got lucky. she wrote a book which the film is based on. she's so wonderful, which is what the film is based on. the book had a lot of detail. she wassing are generous and open. it's such a sensitive subject, i think we're all aware of what might be a tram advertising question and what is an appropriate question and she was very generous with what she gave us. >> and unlike you, she continues to sail teen this day. >> yeah. >> she's still into it even though she went through this horrifying ordeal. >> a lot of women say, ohhing
8:46 am
it's a woman versus nature story. i like to say it's a woman working with nature. that which caused the pain, the ocean, is also what helped save her life. that forgiveness is what has allowed her to heal today. >> when you choose roles, especially roles you're now participating in on screen and off as a producer, what makes you decide to go for a real life story as opposed to fiction? >> oh, man. this one grabbed me because of the love story component and also when it's real, it raises the stakes. as an audience member you watch it, and i think in this day and age of big movies and a lot of fantastic things that aren't real, it's hard to grasp a relatability factor. and for me when i watch something that's real, it immediately reminds me of my own life and how lucky we are to be alive and puts everything in perspective and also lets you
8:47 am
know you're not alone in your process. >> when you're playing a real person, does that come with some greater responsibility? >> for sure. not because tami put any pressure on me, but there's so much self-inflicted pressure. hopefully we hope the audience loves the film and critics. we wanted to pay tribute to her, hers and richard's story. she was the number one critic i was the most aware of. iha wonder -- for people who s i know how it ends, what would you say to them because there's a beautiful love story. >> they may know the real story, but they may not know how that real story unfolded. for me what was so powerful because i'm such a sucker for love. >> who doesn't. >> you know, it was the love that aided the survival. and without that love, survival may not have existed. and so i think this film does a
8:48 am
beautiful job of explaining how that occurs. yeah, who doesn't love love and who can't relate to love. >> so many people can relate to jane chapman in "big little lies," your character, to come back for season two, so many are anticipating this film. the show launching a new season. but it also hits a different tone now with people identifying with the "me too" movement. it's something that the show really delves into. tell me what we can expect in season 2? >> i can't really say. >> meryl streep, which is absolutely insane. she's so incredible. yeah, i think people really responded to "big little lies." i think they'll respond to the second season because the producers and writers and everything in the show aren't afraid to go there and talk about domestic violent and talk about things that happen to most people on this planet and very rarely get told in mainstream media and in cinemas and in
8:49 am
shows. so i think people just continue to feel like they're not alone in their stories. >> that's awesome. can't wait to see it. are you running for office? you talk about it. >> who knows. never say never. not this year. >> shailene woodley, thank you very much. >> "adrift" opens in theaters on friday. a solve ball game refused to start. we'll hear about it next. you can see more on in the face of senseless violence, we need hope.
8:51 am
i'm jeff bleich. preventing violence has long been my cause. after columbine, i led president clinton's youth violence commission. i joined joe biden to reduce domestic violence, helping boys become men. i beat the nra in court, defending gun laws that save lives. today, a new generation is rising, and this is our moment. in the streets and in the capitol, i'll stand with them.

faced the american flag. they say the "national anthem" be played at every fire department every police department is part of a bigger picture. that bigger picture is statewide mutual aid. california years ago realized the need to work together. teamwork is important to protect the community, but we have to do it the right way. we have a working knowledge and we can reduce the impacts of a small disaster, but we need the help of experts. pg&e is an integral part of our emergency response team. they are the industry expert with utilities. whether it is a gas leak or a wire down, just having someone there that deals with this every day is pretty comforting. we each bring something to the table that is unique and that is a specialty. with all of us working together we can keep all these emergencies small. and the fact that we can bring it together and effectively work together is pretty special.
