and things they want to do to save money that they don't know they're going to need. >> most people haven't filed yet. and the irs doesn't know how many others may be in the same boat. one word of advice, though -- if you can't afford to pay what you owe in a lump sum, reach out to the irs. it does offer payment plans, and while painful, that will be a lot better than the alternative -- facing stiff penalties that would cost you even more money. don't avoid the bill. >> i still feel for mrs. bielsky, it's got to be shocking and jarring to learn you need to pay a lump sum -- $8,000 is a lot when you're not expecting it. >> she says they'll make it happen. they have a two-income family. fo a lot of other people, what are they going to do? >> a lot of people can relate. thank you very much. we'll have much more helpful tips on how you, too, can reduce your tax bill on our website. here it is, cbsnews.com/taxes. >> we hear a lot of people are logging on justor this question. next, a look at the other

of racism to promote his career. pope francis spoke of the scandal and the need for the church to transform that evil into an opportunity to cleanse itself. >> special counsel's investigation is clearly winding down. the mueller report could be delivered as early as tomorrow. >> court documents say he was laying plans to use his hate to make a lasting impression on this world. >> hoda masana is one so-called isis bride who the u.s. government does not want to come home. as the storm heads east this weekend, it's expected to bring up to a foot of are snow to parts of the midwest. police across the country are sounding the alarming about a scary uto be a chal sglengs it encourages teens to go missing for up to two days and award points every time there's a social media mention about their appearance. >> this is a legend that police fell for. kids are not faking their disappearance, not pause they can do it, because no teenager

can stay off their phones for 48 hours. 4 hours in what's up instagram, i'm currently missing. nobody knows if i'm dead or alive. >> i'm norah o'donnell with john dickerson, bianna golodryga and gayle king. let's stwart this. emiractor jussie smollett surrendered to police overnight last night after claiming he was the victim of a racist beating. he's charged with disorderly conduct and accused of filing a false report. dean reynolds is at the chicago courthouse where smollett will appear later today. what a turn of events. dean, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. with jussie smollett under arrest right now he's expected to be transported here a little later for his first court appearance. he had been resisting police requests for a follow-up interview, and that was before he turned himself in. police say smollett lied when he claimed two men physically attacked him in the middle of the night in downtown chicago.

the men who are acquaintances of smollett are seen on surveillance video buying a red cap and a ski mask the day before smollett claims he was assaulted. the two men testified before a grand jury yesterday and have not been charged. in a statement, smollett's lawyer said mr. smollett enjoys the presumption of innocent, particularly when there has been an investigation like this one where information, both true and false, has been repeatedly leaked. now if he is convicted, he faced a fine of $25,000 and up to three years in prison. >> thank you, dean. it's been a very troubling and disturbing turn. events. thank you very much. special counsel robert mueller seems to be almost done with his nearly two-year investigation of russian election interference. sources tell cbs news mueller will deliver his final confidential report to the justice department before deputy

attorney general rob rosenstein leaves in a few weeks, but could be done within days. >> president trump said yesterday that attorney general william barr will decide whether the full report is released. barr has not confirmed how much of mueller's findings he'll disclose to congress or the public. in his confirmation hearings he said he would be as transparent as possible. paula reid is at the white house, and she's followed the russia probe from the beginning and has learned more about mueller's final report. paula, good morning. we've heard for a long time it's coming. it's coming. it's coming. why is the report actually possibly coming now? >> reporter: there are a lot of signs that we're seeing here in washington. first of all, the mueller grand jury has not been spotted for several weeks, and this comes after former acting attorney general matthew whitaker said he expects the probe to wrap up soon. we're also seeing for the first time in the roger stone case the special counsel teamed up with local prosecutors, local u.s. attorneys here in washington on that case. now that makes it easy if the

special counsel dissolved or wraps up its work, they can pass the case off to the local u.s. attorneys to take to its completion. >> paula, how likely are we to see the report? >> reporter: well, it's all up to attorney general william barr. the regulation requires that the special counsel submit a report to the attorney general, but there is no requirement that anything be made public. during his confirmation hearing barr vowed transparency. he suggested that he would release a summary of mueller's findings, but house democrats have made it clear they are not interested in barr's summary, and they said anything short of the full report being released will prompt them to issue subpoenas for the report. >> paula, 34 people have been charged as a result of this proerks and i know that you've read just about every word of every one of these documents, so you're an expert on this. i mean, tell us what you think will be in this final report. >> reporter: in the final report that barr receives, he's going to be able to read a lot about people they investigated and

decided not to charge, but traditionally the justice department keeps that confidential information confidential. it's not released to the public. the idea is in this country you may be investigated but if you're not charged, that information but shouldn't be how the in the public hang over your head. so that's going to be a lot of what is new in this report, but because that information is not typically released to the public, i don't think we're going to get a lot of new information. i really do think based on what i've read, the special counsel has been telling this story through the charging documents. that's why so many of these charging documents are so lengthy and they are so detailed. the special counsel has been trying to tell the story through the documents of people they have charged. >> but we haven't seen a narrative essentially for everyone wrapping it all together and connecting the dots, essentially outlining the criminal conspiracy or collusion, if you will. do you expect that? >> i do not. i do not think they will charge anyone with a conspiracy between russia or anyone in the campaign. other people have run afoul of

other laws, but at this point it's not my expectation that anybody will be charged with conspiracy or as people like to call it collusion. >> paula, thank you. california detectives believe they have solved a more than four decades old cold case thanks to modern dna technology. james neil was arrested for the 1973 murder and sexual assault of 11-year-old linda o'keefe. "48 hours" correspondent erin moriarty is here with how a dna hit on a genealogy website combined by old-fashioned detective work led to this arrest. erin, this is fascinating. good morning. >> it is. good morning. this investigation has been going on for show long that the d.a. in the case was just one year older than linda o'keefe at the time of her murder. he was just 12. still newport beach police say they have never forgotten the little girl keeping a photo of her in the detective division as a reminder to continue pushing forward on cold cases like hers. for more than 45 years, the disappearance of linda o'keefe

has haunted the community of newport beach, california. wednesday police revealed how a dna match on the genealogy website family tree led them to their suspect in colorado, 72-year-old james neil. >> our investigators used dna testing and on line genealogy website as being consistent with dna found at the wednesday snide o'keefe disappeared in 1973 while walking home from summer school. she was last seen on this street talking to a stranger in a van. the next day she was found strangled, her body tossed in a ditch. she was still wearing this dress her mother had made for her. >> this was last picture taken of her. >> reporter: o'keefe's sister cindy borgeson says she was surprised to get the call that the alleged kill her been caught. >> and then they said oh, wow, okay. you know, i never really thought they would actually ever find the individual. >> reporter: last summer in an effort to jump start the case,

the newport beach police department posted a series of tweets written as though from o'keefe's perspective recalling her final hours. hi, i'm linda o'keefe. i was murdered. my killer was never found. >> my hope is that it brings hope to other families that haven't had it resolved yet. >> reporter: more police departments are turning to genealogical websites to solve cold cases by connecting dna from crime scenes with online databases. authorities have also been able to track down the suspected golden state killer as well as the grim sleeper who was convicted in 2016 of murdering ten people. in this case newport beach police also used dna to project what o'keefe's killer might look like today. >> i can tell you through both traditional dna and through genealogical dna we have every opportunity in the world to solve so many of these cold

cases that we never had hope in the past of solving. >> reporter: the orange county d.a. would not say whether it was neil or a family member who submit that had dna to the genealogy website. if convicted, neil faces life in prison without the possibility of proehl, and the d.a. says they may consider asking for the death penalty. he's due to appear in a colorado courtroom later today. it did occur to me that linda o'keefe would be 57. that really hit me hard. >> the parents never got to see this day, to see that someone had been arrested. very fascinating how they do these. kudos to the newport beach police. they never gave up, and then put it in such an appealing way, hi, my name is linda o'keefe, my killer has never been found. that would make somebody pay attention to what this is about. >> i actually think that this is the model now for the cole cases and think they got a hit in one of these databases and they can't get it the with codies, the federal database. >> very interesting. >> erin, thank you.

like stopping for three seconds, checking your shoulder, and keeping their eyes on the road. >> any sort of warning about certain things -- i say, lois, you shouldn't be talking with your hands when you're driving. something like that. little things like that. >> there's always been a romantic notion of driving. the open road and the freedom that it represents. could taking away the keys of someone who's older be in a way detrimental to the health of some older people? >> it's absolutely detrimental. and that's proven. so it decreases people's ability to get to work, to have fulfilling social lives. older adults who are socially isolated are -- have huge health risks. it's basically akin to smoking 15 cigarettes a day. >> reporter: the couple doesn't want to give up driving yet but have a backup plan for when they park for good. >> when you want to do something you get in the car and go.

with a way to transcend our partisan politics and the exploitation of processes like these for political gain. that goes for both parties. >> hmm. >> mark harris is 905 votes ahead of democrat dan mccreedy in the november election. when the hearing concludes, north carolina's state board of elections is expected to vote for a new election, certify a winner, or potentially end up deadlocked. the "wall street journal" reports pinterest is blocking searches related to vaccinations. the social media company says it wants to curb the spread of misinformation. most-shared images on pinterest relating to vaccinations advise against them. pin interest says that contradicts the research that shows vaccines are safe. one more reason i love pinterest and have for a long time. >> very big move from there. "business insider" reports google says it made the mistake when it did not notify nest users about a built-in microphone in the home security device. the tech company says it was

never supposed to be a secret. news of the microphone emerged earlier this month when google announced its home security and alarm system called nest secure could be used with google assistant. google says the microphone is only activated when users specifically enable the option. "people" magazine reports that actor daniel radcliffe says he used to get very drunk to deal with his "harry potter" fame. in an interview, radcliffe said that when he was in his late teens, he turned to alcohol to deal with being in the constant spotlight at the height of his movie's popularity. >> the quickest way of forgetting about the fact that you're being watched was to get very drunk and then, as you get very drunk, you become aware, people are watching more now because i'm getting very drunk, and i would drink more to ignore that more. you get into -- it can affect your psyche. you sort of have to -- >> hmm. very candid. radcliffe, now 29 years old, announced his sobriety seven years ago. and "rolling stone" says beyonce and jay-z paid tribute

to meghan markle during a pre-recorded speech at the brit awards. they flanked a regal portrait of the duchess of sussex as they accepted the award for best group, the carters. now it's a takeoff on a music individual joe from last year when they stood alongside the mown lisa at the louvre museum in paris. >> beyonce also tweeted -- congrats on your pregnancy, we wish you so much joy. >> i'm having trouble looking at the painting, given the openness of her jacket was revealing. what does she want us to look at? does she want us to look at meghan or something else? >> she's queen b., she can do anything. >> i love the queen b. >> can we go back to looking at the pandas? >> yes. >> meghan markle -- there's a connection. meghan markle's friends threw her a baby shower in new york. a couple of months before her due date in april. she arrived at the upper east side venue yesterday amid tight security. the intimate party included big-named guests including amal clooney, serena williams, and

our very own queen, gayle king. it was the former american actress' first trip back to the united states since her marriage to prince harry at windsor castle last may. how was it? >> a good time was had by all. that's what i'll say. >> what did you get her? >> if i told you, i'd have to kill you, because she didn't open any of the gifts because she wants to do that when she goes -- when she and harry are back together. so i really don't know what everybody got. i think i got something i think is very nice. but you know, she's a very private person. i think she should decide what she wants to say about this. but i hope she won't mind me sharing this, because i've never seen anything like this at a baby shower. they did flower decorations. they had flower arranging, they brought in somebody to explain how to arrange flowers. we all each made an individual base. and then meghan at the request got in touch with an organization i've never heard of with pete roses, and all of them are donated to different charities. i thought that was a very sweet thing. it just speaks to who she is. she's very kind, very generous and a really, really sweet

person. >> yeah -- >> i think her friends wanted to celebrate her. serena and her best friend, who's been her best friend since she was 19, genevieve. and her friend put it together. it was a small, private affair, and a special time for her. having a baby is a great thing. >> we were talking about it -- >> don't lose sight of that. >> it's most special time in your life. >> yes. >> getting ready for the birth of a -- >> flowers are a lot of fun. >> your gift was big. i bet it's a good one. >> good things come in little packages. >> they do. >> there are no bad baby gifts. >> true. here's a story that i love. part of our "morning rounds." new evidence suggests that even a small amount of exercise could lower the risk of depression. a recent study in "jama psychiatry" looked at more than 600,000 adults and assessed their make-up, medical history and active levels. researchers determined that participants who were genetically more likely to exercise may be less likely to develop depression. in 2016, an estimated 16.2 million adults in the u.s. had at least one major depressive episode.

our dr. david agus is here with the science behind exercising for mental and physical health. so this is so fascinating. i think we understand it intuitively to be true, that exercise makes you feel better. this is the first study, right, to show that physical activity could help prevent depression. what did we learn? >> this is important. you know, previous studies have shown an association. people who exercise have less depression. this stud any a clever genetic way where they used genetics to randomize people, because i can't do a placebo-controlled trial and say you sit for five years and you exercise, but it showed causality. right? that exercise itself, no matter who you are, can reduce the risk of depression. >> i thought one of the most uplifting things is that just 15 minutes of jogging can do the trick. right? >> ah! 15 minutes of jogging, an hour of gardening. get outside and do something. or if the weather is like it is today in new york, do it indoors. the key is, do something every day, and you'll prevent the risk

of depression. my patients say i'm starting to feel depressed and not do as much, my first thing is not prescribe a pill, but get out and do something. >> but when you're depressed, david, you probably don't feel like exercising. that's what i find difficult about the study. i don't want to get up and exercise. >> the first is to prevent depression, exercise. so before you get there. the second is, yes, you are right. when you're depressed, nobody wants to exercise. it's the last thing you want to do. we have to rise above that. >> call me. i'll come get you. >> is this going to change how doctors treat depression? >> i hope so. i mean, i certainly hope so. we don't want to reflex write a pill. let's really push and try to prevent it. everybody, say, i need you to exercise for your heart health, for your mind health and for your psychiatric health. they're critical. >> people want to know what does this mean, exercise. how much does your heart rate have to go up, so forth? >> what kind? good question. >> this study showed that 15 minutes of jogging two hours a week, 15 minutes a day, can have

a benefit. the way my rule of thumb to patients is, i'd love you every day to get your heart rate 50% higher from where it starts for 15 minutes. if your heart rate starts at 60, get it to 90. that's not a crazy amount of exercise. it means you don't need to be sweating or out of breath. just move is critical. >> there had been a question about is there a best time of day to exercise. and those who like to exercise at night, some might say, you know, you're not going to be able to sleep because you've got all that endorphin rush. this debunks that. correct? >> well, very coincidentally, bianna, yesterday came out with a study showing that if you exercise at night, it does not negatively affect sleep. i think that's critical. >> yeah. >> is that you have to do what's best for your schedule. you have little kids, you got to get ready for school in the morning, you can't exercise. now it says you can exercise at night, and it won't negatively affect your sleep. it may actually suppress what you eat which may be in the end good for you also. >> this is my motto, 2019, every darn day. >> she's done it every darn day. >> darn -- >> e.d.d.

>> every darn day. >> i haven't done it every darn day, but this is encouraging news. >> i love to have a positive story. >> thank you. >> always good to see you. ahead, michelle miller visits dr. martin luther king jr.'s birth home. see how the historic house and the memories surrounding it will be preserved for generations to come.

in "a more perfect union," we aim to show that what unites us as americans is far greater than what divides us. this morning we're focusing on the homes where dr. martin luther king jr. once dreamed of a dreert future and the -- of a brighter future and the man who saw the vision. michelle miller is at the atlanta house where the civil rights icon was born. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. more than 700,000 people come here every single year to visit the home where the reverend dr. martin luther king jr. was born. this was his living room. that's a picture of his grandparents. the national parks foundation purchased this home for $1.9 million late last year thanks to an anonymous donor who's not so anonymous anymore. >> welcome to the king home -- >> reporter: the descendants of the reverend martin luther king jr. have held down this homestead for generations. >> all the children were born in here? >> all the children. >> reporter: now they're entrusting the birthplace of the

civil rights icon to the national parks service. >> this is mr. robert frederick smith. >> reporter: thanks to the once-anonymous donor robert f. smith. this is almost a full-circle moment for you. >> my mother, you know, took me to the march in washington. i was nine months old. of course, i don't remember any of it. but i remember that every day of our growing up, the lessons that her and my father brought into the home. >> reporter: he first toured the king home a few months ago. >> i'll tell you what struck me was actually the dining room table. the dynamic of family together. and that's a chance where the families can interact and engage, talk about the topics that are relevant to us as people. >> the epic of love, he got that here. >> reporter: we were lucky enough to experience a rare multigenerational family reunion in that very same room. albeit with museum prop acquisition even. everybody sat at dinner every

night? >> everybody in the dinner at the same time, right? >> reporter: why? >> why? i mean, i guess it was a tradition. >> this was an opportunity for my father, her mother, naomi's husband to be able to talk as children and even ask questions. and that was just unheard of at that time. >> reporter: the house purchase was made through contributions from the foundation which smith founded. the organization has donated more than $40 million to preserve african-american culture through the national parks which includes buying the homes of frederick douglass, harriet tubman, and booker t. washington. smith gifted $20 million to the national museum of african-american museum and culture in washington, d.c. sounds like, mr. smith, you're on a mission. >> i truly am. i think a big part is to educate the world as to what african-americans have

contributed in america and educate americans as to what our contributions have led to. so many great things that make america the unique place it is on the planet. >> reporter: the parks service will not only preserve two of king's former atlanta homes, it will record and share family memories including contributions from everyone at this table. >> we've been through a lot. >> reporter: here's a preview -- what don't people know about dr. king that they should? >> this is one thing i tell young people -- dr. king was a c student at moorehouse. he got a c in public speaking. he got a c in preaching. it tells you that you don't allow grades and people's judgments even to define who you are and what you're going to contribute to this world. and he continued to push forward and did not let it discourage him. >> this is a demonstration on progress that is definitely being made. >> he really was not puffed up,

right. he was socially awkward, right. he was unpretentious, honest, and plain. >> i think that they will, you know, and the family, will find a wonderful, you know, opportunity as we finish what i call the digitization efforts to experience their life. >> reporter: though the king family agree handing over their ancestral home was the right thing to do, actually doing it wasn't an easy decision. >> took me a minute because we were raised to understand ownership, i was. i had to get in my head, wait a minute, this is not how we need to expend our energy because i was initially like, no, i don't want to transfer sale of my mother's home. >> reporter: when you think about what mr. robert smith has done, what does that mean to you in putting your old family home back together? >> to me it means it won't be lost. the tangible property is important and will always be

important. but it's also important that more and more people know the true stories. >> reporter: and dr. king's daughter bernice told me she's already gone through all of her personal effects. those will be digitized, downloaded into a data base, so that people from anywhere in the world can have their own 3d experience. >> that was like a history lesson. >> it was. >> learned so much about dr. king. first of all, he was a c student. >> i'm very surprised at that. imagine it gives people hope who are sitting out there, nobody wants to get cs when you can get bs or as, but it shows that your grades quite often don't define the intelligence that you have. and thank you to robert smith. what a wonderful thing that he's doing. >> highlighting the importance of dinner conversation. >> exactly. together at the table. it works. >> exactly. >> morning and night, right? >> yes. you are watching "cbs this morning." we'll be right back.

wow, if only you could hear the conversations we have during the break. >> it's good they don't. that does it for us. tune in to the "cbs evening news" tonight. we'l
