after he admitted he painted his face black while in college in 1980. he said he joined friends be in dressing like rappers we listened to at the time putting on wigs and brown makeup to perform a song at a party. on saturday he said it is no longer possible for governor northam to leave the commonwealth after a racist photo including a man in blackface was discovered on his yearbook page. the latest news rocked virginia democrats including those in washington. >> shocked and incredibly disappointed. >> from friday till now it's just been one bit of the bad news after the next. >> reporter: further complicating things for democrats, the first in line to replace northam, lieutenant-governor justin fairfax faces a sexual assault allegation. his accuser vanessa tyson released a statement at the 2004 democratic convention in boston consensual kissing turned into a sexual assault when fairfax forced her to perform oral sex on him.

congress. they even have a subpoena ready if he tries to claim executive privilege in response to some of their questions. and then on top of all of that, house intelligence chairman adam schiff announced yesterday that his committee is going beyond its russia probe to examine whether any of the president's decisions in office had been influenced by financial consideration. the president responded to that by calling schiff a political hack and saying he's just trying to make a name for himself. and he's already tweeted this morning, john, that all of this amounts to presidential harassment. >> a lot of activity up there. i want to switch gears and ask you about something else. presidential hopeful senator elizabeth warren is apologizing gain for her claims of native-american an set of trip, that she's mentioned earlier in her career. she spoke with reporters outside her office. let's listen. >> this is from the heart. this is about my family, my brothers, and it is about an apology from the heart. an apology for not being more

sensitive to tribal citizenship and tribal sovereignty. >> so, nancy, what can you tell us about the time something why is she doing this now? >> it was a pretty sweeping mea culpa and she's trying to eliminate this as a campaign issue. her comments came in response to a revelation that she listed her race as american indian on a texas bar association registration card back in the 1980s, a story that was first reported by the "washington post." warren told us that she and her brothers grew up believing that they were part native american, but that family lor is ne is no same as trienal affiliation and she should have been more interested in the tribal citizenship. this is not what she wants to be talking about before they announces her bid to the presidency. >> thank you. right now, president trump is predicting that the islamic state will soon have lost all

the territory that it once controlled in iraq and syria. now remember that in late 2014 isis held major cities throughout iraq and syria. u.s. officials say the group has lost more than 99% of that territory and controls just now two square miles. charlie d'agata went close to that last piece of isis controlled land and saw the combat first hand. >> reporter: good morning. it looks like the territorial defeat of isis is now down to a matter of days, as the u.s.-led coalition and allies on the ground close in on that last sliver of territory still under isis control. but in such a concentrated area, the fighting that's left to be done is in extremely close quarters. an air strike slams into an isis target much close are than anyone expected followed immediately by this whiring noise feared to be the sound of an incoming isis mortar that flew right over our heads sending everyone scrambling.

us. we fought together. it wasn't a wise decision. it's a decision to leave halfway through. >> reporter: by halfway through the commander said he means what happens after isis looses that last bit of territory. he said the terror group has already established an underground network of terror cells and hardened fighters who are ready to regroup and strike back. bianna. >> thank you. there are already reports that isis is growing in parts of africa as well. >> it should be noted we've lost a number of lives and our u.s. military has been doing a fabulous job. >> as well as 30 other countries and their contributions. badly needed humanitarian aid from the u.s. and other countries is becoming a pawn in the deepening crisis in venezuela. the government of maduro used trankers to block a bridge that connects venezuela to columbia. the standoff came as the u.s. sent supplies to the border area. manuel is there with the

and where you can spend it, there are long lives for food. they say the working class name is also a warning. >> if you're a worker bee but it's also we'll sting you if you attack. >> in fact they can be more like armed gangs. they're believed to have been part of an attack on opposition lawmakers in 2017. and they vow to stand by maduro until the end. but there are signs support for him among the military apparatus is cracking. >> translator: my salary isn't enough to buy food. >> reporter: this soldier agreed to speak with elizabeth palmer on the condition we hide his face and disguise his fois. >> translator: we're suffering just like the people are. >> reporter: while maduro appears almost daily on tv to >> reporter: white house national security adviser john bolton says the u.s. would consider lifting sanctions for

seat, he told the judge he didn't need to hear about the evidence investigators have gathered so far. >> did anyone make any threats or promises to get you to waive this right? >> no. >> reporter: at the end of the hearing, the defendant nodded, i love you, to his family sitting behind him. jamie closs' relatives who packed the other side of the courtroom filed out without saying a word. patterson's father had a message for them. >> pray for the family. >> reporter: he regularly visited the cabin where closs was held captive for 88 days. parentally unaware his son was keeping the girl under his bed. jake patterson confessed to busting into the home in october and shooting both of her parents in the head. he has been charged with kidnapping, armed burglary. they will not seek additional charges in order to spare

13-year-old closs from having to relive her nightmare. >> she's not seeing what we see on a daily basis. she's not looking on facebook. she's not hearing about the case. >> reporter: this woman, a close family friend, says her loved ones are trying to shield her as much as possible. you said friends have started coming over. i assume there's some trepidation since they know things. >> i'm sure that's controlled. she had a small group of close friends. i know she's been able to spend time with some of those girls again. just hang. >> reporter: be a teenager? >> yeah. >> reporter: patterson is expected to enter a plea at his arrangement next month. if he is convicted on the murder charges, he would go to prison for the rest of his life. >> we are thinking of the family. thank you. the cleanup begins after an explosion rocked a san francisco neighborhood prompting evacuations of homes and businesses. look at this video.

sunbelt, stretching from atlanta to arizona state which typically have stronger gun laws. we dug through police documents to find out why the numbers are growing. while thousands of guns are spotted by tsa screeners, some appear to be getting through. a gun inside a carry-on at dallas-fort worth. a scene that played out 219 times last year at that airport alone. national at the happened nearly 12 times a day. passengers almost always say it was a mistake. as this man did in 2017. >> just an oversight, man. >> hands behind your back for me, please. >> reporter: the more than 4,200 guns spped at tsa clients last year was a 7% increase over 2017. just ten airports accounted for nearly one-third of all cases. atlanta had the most with 298 found in carry-on bags. why do you think that number is growing every year? >> i'm going to make a guess. i think people are simply

carrying weapons in the country. we reflect what we're seeing around the country. >> reporter: tsa administrator david pecoske. >> when you go into a chester county, you know it's there. you don't happen upon it. before you hit that person in line, take a look through your bag. >> reporter: tsa is working with airports to improve signage reminding people guns cannot be in a carry-on. >> make sure it's unloaded. >> reporter: the agency demonstrates properly packing an unloaded fireman in a locked case, in a passenger's checked luggage. >> all we ask is that you do it properly. pack it properly to assure its safety, the safety of everybody else. >> reporter: otherwise, you could risk arrests like here in dallas. the tsa can seek fines up to $13,000. not all guns are found. last month, screeners in atlanta missed one in a man's carry-on, and our review of 2017 police records from seven airports found at least three cases where it appeared guns got through the chester county. i'm a little -- the checkpoint. i'm a little troubled that the

gun went through the x-ray machine and was missed. >> i'm troubled, i think everybody in tsa is troubled. we do everything we can to figure out why it happened. >> reporter: our investigation found in 2017 the vast majority of the people who brought the gun to the checkpoint were men, 63% were white, typically between their 30s and 50s. but guns were found in the carry-ons of an 84-year-old woman, a 10-year-old boy, an airport worker, and a pastor. >> what a story, chris. thank you. i also get dinged for a bottle of water. >> they confiscated my bottle of contact lens solution. it hasn't been opened, doesn't matter. i'm surprised how many people can carry a gun and forget they have it. are you surprised? >> i guess with the concealed weapons laws, you keep it in a purse and don't realize it. >> i said off camera, this is an american story. >> very much -- >> no western countries having this issue. >> with more than 200 million guns in america. great reporting. every year, 48 million

first on "cbs this morning," we're looking at technology that could provide food safety. scientists are using artificial intelligence to create a system that will allow people to test foods and drinks for contamination. every year an estimated one in six americans get sick from contaminated foods, and 3,000 people actually die from this. nikki battiste got a behind-the-scenes look at how the technology will work. she's at a food market in good-old new york city.

contaminants -- >> reporter: the team showed what a prototype of the app might look like. >> you can see that it is fake alcohol. >> reporter: mit believes the technology could help people avoid safety hazards such as tainted alcohol which kills or blinds hundreds of people every year. >> reporter: the goal is for consumers to one day be able to use the technology to test meals in restaurants and at home. >> you could envision future smart fridges that incorporate the technology to detect contaminated food or food spoilage. >> reporter: if i scan food and am told the lettuce is contaminated, where else would it go? >> it would be uploaded to an online data base. ideally even connected to servers which regulation boards have access to. >> reporter: regulation boards like the cdc, which says 128,000 americans are hospitalized by food fo foodborne illnesses every year. >> we have great technology now, and still 48 million americans

get sick every year. >> reporter: while consumers like goldman are interested in being able to detect contamination themselves, food safety lawyer bill marler hopes grocery stores will use the technology, too. >> i see the best use of this kinds of technology as sort of before it hits the marketplace. before it goes on a grocery store shelf. >> in the near term, i hope consumers will do it. in the long term, i hope that it will become so seamless that it will disappear into the environment such that if it's in the infrastructure of the grocery store. >> reporter: do you think it will be as mainstream as paying with your phone like we do now? >> i certainly hope that this will be the case. >> reporter: professor adib told cbs news the secondnology could be in -- technology could be in people's hands in five years. he hopes one day the system will be able to detect sugar levels and calories which of course could help diabetics and anyone watching their weight. >> sounds promising. and you told us yesterday the fda is looking into the

said he wore blackface at a college party in 1980. he apologized saying i had a callous an inexcusable lack of awareness and insensitive to the pain my behavior could inflict on others. herring had asked northam to resign due to his facebook perfe perfect and fairfax was charged by the woman who says he sexually assaulted her. he denies the accusations. the gop grew control of the legislature by drawing out of a bowl to determine the race out of a bowl. that's the issue in virginia politics today. >> blackface has a long and painful and racist history in this country, so we want to give you a heads up that some of the images we're about to show you are very disturbing. blackface became popular in the mid-1800s in minstrel shows when white performers darkened their

faces to depict african-americans. jim crow was a namesake for krim joe laws apt the measures that enforced segregation in the south. even black actors were forced to wear black face in part to make white audiences feel superior. civil rights organizations have pointed out for decades that blackface dehumanizes black people and reinforces very harmful racial stereotypes. dwandalyn reece is curator of music and performing arts at the national museum of a can american history and culture in washington and joins us at the table to discuss. we had such a spirited conversation in the makeup room this morning so i'm so glad you're here. >> thank you. >> why don't you start us off by letting people know why this is so offensive because i have so many white friends who say i don't understand it. i meant no harm. i admire diana ross, as attorney general said curtis blow and i was really trying to pay a compliment. >> well, part of it is

understanding the history of blackface and the inception which started in the mid-1800s, and what it was -- it was white performers blacking up their face and caricatures african-americans, looking hat them as lazy, unintelligent, stereotyping and certain stereotypes like the mamie figure, uncle tom, the stricter, and all these caricatures were taking elements of a can american people and making them objects for rid dual and humor and entertainment. >> mm-hmm. cut to where we are today, they are not trying to play the mammy role or the jim crow role. >> they are no. it's the lingering images of blackface and minstrelsy that really set the course for popular entertainment which has gone throughout the 20th and 21st century. >> do people's intentions matter here, dwandalyn? >> not necessarily, because i would understand how people would think it's a foreign of flattery, it's a form of just imitating somebody you admire,

but knowing the history that really makes a difference and how painful these images were for african-americans and what it set off in this country of a way of stereotyping and dehumanizing people based on the color of their skin. >> which was an effort to enforce power less which if you dehumanize and make them lesser you can do anything with the laws. >> it is a question of power, and when people are asked the opposite, someone mentioned "whik chicks," the movie, when the wayan brothers dressed up as white women? >> how so? >> it's the power dynamic that you talk about with appropriating people's images, and -- and when you have the power to do that and to oppress, it's very different than a cultural exchange, a fair cultural exchange. >> jim crow, the original blackface character became to epitomize the jim crow laws, state and local laws then forced segregation, enforced bigotry, enforced plessy v. ferguson, all

of that, that's the history of this country. to gayle's country. what about those who are saying, and this is a conversation that gayle brought up this morning, those who are saying in an aspiring way to dress up as beyonce or a cultural figure of prominence. >> it's still painful. it's still painful to african-americans, and i think there's a lot of white americans who theme the say way. those images are tied to a legacy of oppression and slavery and objectfying and devaluing people so if you would look at cultural norms of the time the images real very a lasting impact and the don't mean what people intend necessarily. >> with so many things in this day and age, it's hard not to have children of a young age became aware of news in the head links. as i was preparing for this last night my 6-year-old was next to me and he asked what this was all about. what's the teachable moment here. how do we talk to generations of children to come about why this

is so important? >> i think part of it is knowing the history and explaining the history to your children in a way that breaks down the stereotype to see where it came from. >> is there room for atonement here, dwandalyn, where some people may be losing their jobs. is there room for atonement? >> i think so. i don't think this is a way to label people for lifetime. people change. they become educated. they evolve. >> is it possible that someone who dressed up in this way 30 years ago, is that person racist? >> that's not for me to say, but i think the act of going through this means that there's a lack of understanding about the meaning of this. does that equate to racism? you'd have to talk to that individual personally, but it is an act that perpetuates racist ideology in that way. >> so hard to talk about race, but we have got to have this conversation. >> gained lip, thank you very much. >> so glad you came. >> thank you for having me. >> and we should note that there is more on the website of the museum, too, if you would like

a new survey by the investment giant blackrock suggests tens of millions of americans still haven't started saving for their retirement. only 52% of women say they've begun to put money away compared to 61% of men. americans who have a retirement savings plan say they feel a greater sense of well-being. blackrock is the largest money manager in the world with almost $6 trillion in assets. its president, ron kapito is with us. good morning. >> good morning. >> let's talk about the data in this report. only 45% of those surveyed said they were confident that they would achieve an ideal retirement. why such a low number? >> this is a very, very big problem. first of all, people don't think about retirement. they kick the can down the road. and now that we know that people are living longer, they have not saved or invested enough for the last 10 to 14 years of their life. why aren't they doing that? high cost of living, housing costs, health care costs.

and a lot of parents would rather spend on their kids for today than save for retirement for themselves. there's also a lot of excuses -- it's too complicated, there are too many choices, but we cathedral to create awareness that -- we need to create awareness that you cannot invest for the future unless you invest in the future. we do survey, create technology, tools, so people can get educated. the first part is creating awareness that you have to start saving today. >> have that conversation and discussion with your family today. you mentioned technology. how can technology help along this process? >> well, technology seems to be solving most problems. the first part is to create awareness. we have a website today that's going on, www.blackrock.com/investorpulse. this is going to create awareness for people of what they need to do and why they need to do it.

then what we've been doing is creating tools for financial advisers so that they can educate their clients. we have one called "i retire." you put in the money you have, what you think you're going to need it creates diversified portfolios for you so that you can understand that you can do this in a conservative way. and that information is going to help people to make good, long-term investments that they'll be able to have for their retirement in the future. >> you look at this graphic. among the top concerns for adults is health care costs. that's becoming a big issue going into the next election season. we have discussions now about medicare for all, doing away with private insurance. we know that 150 million americans get their insurance from their employers. how should they be approaching health care in terms of saving for their retirement? >> well, we know that there's a high probability of it going up. most importantly, it's uncertainty. why would you take the risk? one weather you're older, you'll

probably have more health care costs. therefore, it's another reason to save. there's something really important that we found in this survey, and there's a connection between wealth and well-being. and the number-one thing that causes stress amongst people is money. and especially when you're investing for the future. we have found that people who have started retirement plans actually have less stress and more emotional dividends -- >> good tip -- >> -- besides financial dividends. >> we're limited on time. great advice. thank you very much. great conversation. >> thank you. a new study finds women's brains appear to be nearly four years younger than men's brains of the same age. gayatri devi with tips on how to boost your brain power. in 28 days. purina one. natural ingredients, plus vitamins and minerals in powerful combinations. for radiant coats, sparkling eyes, and vibrant energy.
