>> this has nothing to do with his service in the trump campaign. >> cardinal george pell, the most senior catholic cleric ever sentenced. >>he t>> alex trebek appears ba his game show for the first time since announcing he has pancreatic cancer. >> rehigh winds and the light pe fell. >> all that matters. >> happy birthday to senator mitt romney. he turned 72 today and his staff made him a twinkie cake. watch this as he starts to blow out the candles. >> who blows out candles like this? it's going to be his next birthday by the time he's done. >> on "cbs this morning." >> it's the college admissions bribery scandal as i call it

bribegate, scandalgate. the fbi busted dozens of rich parents for bribing colleges to accept their kids. >> you know how conspiracy theorists say everything is rigged for the wealthy and famous. well, as a wealthy famous person let me just respond by saying, you're absolutely right. >> announcer: this morning's "eye open are" is presented by toyota. let's go places. welcome to "cbs this morning." we do begin with that bombshell. celebrities and business leaders are among 50 people who face criminal charges in a giant college admissions scam. more ares could come in the weeks and months ahead. actor lori loughlin and felicity huffman are two of the dozens of wealthy parents accused in the alleged scheme that lasted nearly one decade. >> prosecutors say some of them paid millions to get their children into elite schools like yale, stanford and the university of southern california. the universities say they are

victims. carter evans is at usc with the story of what prosecutors call the biggest fraud case of its kind in the u.s. carter, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. more than a dozen defendants allegedly bought their children's way into usc here. in all the 33 parents accused allegedly paid about $25 million in bribe money. but it wasn't just hollywood elite, it was also wealthy lawyers and ceos who are accused in "operation varsity blues." william singer left a boston federal court yesterday after pleading guilty to running the biggest college admissions scam federal prosecutors have ever seen. they say he became a cooperating witness turning in a-list clients. >> their action were without a doubt insidious, selfish and shameful. >> reporter: according to court documents singer was the ceo of a college prep company in california. parents spent as much as $6.5 million to guarantee their

the company would not only help doctor s.a.t. and a.c.t. tests but create the false impression the students were elite athletes, bribing coaches and creating fake athletic credentials complete with altered photos for kids. some of whom didn't even play the sports for which they were recruited. >> for every student admitted through fraud an honest genuinely talented student was rejected. >> as a student would got in from merit hearing about that, it is absolutely upsetting. >> you are not going to believe what has happened. >> reporter: "desperate housewives" star felicity huffman allegedly paid $15,000 to boost her daughter's s.a.t. score. >> do you have anything to say. >> reporter: her husband william h. macy was in court with her as she posted a $250,000 bond. >> that's all the time we have. >> reporter: lori loughlin of "full house" fame is also facing conspiracy charges and is expected to surrender to

authorities today. she and her husband designer mossimo by julie allegedly paid half a million daughters to be on the crew team. their daughter olivia jade is a social media influencer who capitalized on her experience at usc with sponsored posts and had to apologize after saying this on her youtube channel. >> i do want the experience of game day, partying, i don't really care about school as you guys all know. >> this is not just to me is not just an admission scandal, more broadly an indictment of our educational system. >> reporter: many colleges are already taking action. here at usc two athletics officials were fired yesterday. prosecutors say, though, many of the students involved may have had no idea what their parents

were doing. >> all right, carter, thank you. cbs news legal analyst rikki klieman is with us. how serious are the charges. >> very serious. mail fraud, wire fraud, conspiracy to commit these crimes. and what you have here are two schemes, you have the cheating that is the test taking or the paying for others to take the test, the scoring of the tests and then you have the one that's really complicated which is showing that your children are athletes when they're not, so that they get in as they put it through a side door. >> since the kids didn't know about it, a lot of the kids, do they still get to stay in school? >> well, it's an interesting question, gayle. i think the parents are facing serious time and perhaps what i mean by that is prison time. >> they could go to jail for. >> we're talking the parents and i don't think we should look away from that. before i get to the children, the people are so angry all over the country about this case, so

the parents need to be punished severely in order for there to be deterrents. now, some of the kids didn't know but you also have to believe that some of the kids did know and so are they going to be criminally prosecuted? possibly but highly unlikely so what happens to them in college? if they're in college now, isn't the remedy with the college? does the college expel them? how about the people who already got degrees? does the college then decide to rescind those and spins on to employment. you know, because everything has been falsified since the beginning. >> wow. >> these pardons did their children no favors. >> exactly. >> college admissions is like when you're facing jail time, you throw money at a problem. couldn't somebody lawyer up with a lot of fancy expensive lawyers and get out of this. >> no one is getting out of this. there's too much attention put to it. it's one thing to buy your way or buy your way into education for your children, which i find appalling and disgusting,

frankly, but it's another thing at this stage to just think you can buy a fancy lawyer and get out of this. these parents probably had no thought that at some point they would go to press sdmrn what's the likelihood there's more out there in there's probably more william singers. think of the irony of going after the kingpin first and then going down. i find that fascinating. he's facing 65 years looking to try and bring it down through his cooperation. he says he's done this for 800 parents. so we are at the tip of the iceberg with 33. >> oh, my gosh. >> you think of all the students that didn't get in that should have gotten in. that's terrible >> that's what makes people angry at the elite and the wealthy. this is when you exacerbate that divide if exactly. >> thank you. >> say what you really think, rikki. >> it's early in the morning. >> wow. and the other big ory, thea is e to ground boeing's top selling

passenger plane after the deadly crash in ethiopia. more than 100 737 max series planes are still flying in north america. the u.s. and canada are the only two major country as louing the planes to continue operating. the only two major countries. at least 39 nations including european union countries grounded them. air lines in six other countries and territories have also done so. investigators are still trying to determine the cause of sunday's crash that killed 157 people including 8 americans. it was the second deadly accident involving a 737 max in five months. kris van cleave is at washington's reagan national airport with the safety debate. kris, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. the faa says it has no basis to justify grounding the 737 max at this point. but the agency's got no information from the ethiopia flight's black bocks. two senior administration officials tell us that the white house sees no benefit in

interfering or second-guessing with the faa's decision-making fearing that could do more harm than good. >> i'm advising members of my own family and friends, they ought to change planes. >> reporter: on capitol hill tuesday, the list of lawmakers on both sides calling for the faa to ground the boeing 737 max grew to more than 10. among them senator mitt romney. >> it makes sense to ground aircraft involved in two tragic accidents and only six months. >> reporter: transportation secretary elaine chao says her department which oversees the faa is working closely with the national transportation safety board and ethiopian investigators to determine the cause of sunday's crash of ethiopian airlines flight 302. the 737 max would be the fourth plane in u.s. history to be grounded by federal regulators. 2013 they ordered airlines to stop flying the 787 due to fire concerns with the plane's batteries. >> faa has probably the most

rigorous certification process of any agency. >> reporter: former faa assistant administrator scott brenner says grounding them without a reason sets a dangerous precedent. >> the faa saying we have a system in place so let's not start changing it because we have some public pressure going against us. >> reporter: cbs news travel editor peter greenberg says it's a difficult balance. >> the faa has always had a conduct. when they were establish bid an act of congress they were supposed to make an enforced safety policy and promote the bills of aviation. they can't do both. >> reporter: in a call yesterday with president trump, boeing's ceo told the president he was confident in the 737 max's safety. we are aware of at least five complaints through an anonymous database administered by nasa where pilots can report issues. two of them talk about a situation where the plane's autopilot on the max pushed the nose of the plane down. now, that is a different system

than mcas which is the system being looked at for malfunction in the lion air crash. it's also unclear if what happened on those two flights % was pilot error or an issue with the airplane. we do know that the pilots unions for united, american and southwest, the three carriers in the u.s. that operate the max are all standing behind the aircraft. the airlines say they've seen no systemic issues with the airplane in more than 100,000 flight hours. >> all right, kris. just this morning ethiopia airlines ceo said the pilot did receive training for the max 8 plane so this story will continue for sure. we're learning more about some of the eight americans killed in the crash. 24-year-old samya stumo was working for a global health organization. she was headed to her first assignment inen uganda.brothett riffel were on a world adventure before the birth of melvin's

electrical cord but i loved him and he loved me. >> reporter: gardner told derogatis she lived with kelly and five other women and said everything you do you have to ask kelly including when you can eat or go to the bathroom. she said she often disobeyed and then suffered what she called quote consequences including spankings, slappings and beatings. >> she seemingly is angry when describing some of what she says she experienced but yet and still she says he doesn't deserve jail and he's really not a bad person. he needs help. >> i think she is a conflicted young woman. there is love and then there's also fear. there's anger and there's pain. >> reporter: last week we spoke to dominique's mother michelle kramer. >> i can't understand how somebody say they love you and in the same breath spit in your face. >> that's what you say r. kelly did to your daughter? >> yes. >> does dominique believe she

was brainwashed? >> no, she rejects the word brainwash. she rejects the word cult. she told me what he tried to do is break me. break me and i wouldn't be broken. >> reporter: gardner says she decided to speak out to, quote, tell her truth. now, yesterday chicago police were actually called to kelly's residence. they say they received an anonymous call about a possible suicide pact. while they later said that the report was unfounded, meanwhile, kelly continues to deny all accusations of abuse, r. kelly is due back here in family court later this morning. >> jericka, thank you. the parents of azriel clary who lives with kelly right now describes how they first got involved with the singer when she was just 17. that's ahead only on "cbs this morning." the most senior catholic cleric ever to be convicted of child sexual abuse received a six-year sentence in australia this morning. the jury found cardinal george pell guilty of molesting two

it is their first interview since the scathing lifetime documentary "surviving r. kelly." azriel clary met the singer back in 2015, she was 17. her parents claim kelly promised to help launch her singing career. they say they have learned since then that his interest was a little more cynical. three days afterwards her daughter went to a hotel to meet him without their permission. they went knocking on hotel doors to find her. >> this was an audition. why wouldn't you trust me you think i would put myself in a predicament and not call y'all. >> she's saying you're messing up my chances. tempers eventually cooled and the clarys say they actually developed a professional the next few months pitching business deals all of which he

rejected. the clarys say the singer had his own proposal, let azriel join him on his tour full time. >> he flew us into chicago. we set with him in his studio. we met with him and he basically told us, you know, yeah, i'm starting tour, you know, basically y'all need to make a decision. >> reporter: azriel had dreams of becoming a singer who say she dealt with personal struggles including a suicide attempt following a bad breakup. that was before she met r. kelly. she eventually gave her parents an ultimatum. she says if you don't allow me to go, i will try to take my own life again or i will run away. >> uh-huh. i don't want to call her bluff on it because i know she attempted it previously. i'm thinking she got three more months she'll be 18 and do what she wants and carry out this and now i'm living with regret. >> from the outside looking in people will still say you're allowing your 17-year-old who is at the time underage to go with

r. kelly, the perception is that he preys on underage girls. did that give you any kind of pause whatsoever? >> that gave me pause. i meant it gave me awareness but you talking about a young lady that's raised by two parents going -- >> you're saying you trusted her. >> i didn't trust him. what i trusted was i raised my child right. i trust my daughter will be honest with us. and this was strictly her music. r. kelly had a platform. as big as music can ever give somebody, i didn't see the label -- >> you told me you saw him working with other young women. last week kelly blamed azriel's parents for their own estrangement. >> what kind of father, what kind of mother will sell their daughter to a man? >> reporter: three months before azriel turned 18, the clarys signed a letter giving their consent for her to go on kelly's tour and stay with a come named

valerie denise payton. who is valerie? >> it ain't r. kelly. it's not robert kelly. >> but does she work with r. kelly? >> she supposed to work for the label. we found out later on she works for r. kelly. >> at the time you signed this you thought she was -- >> he told us it was someone that is -- >> from sony. >> you thought she would be a chaperon. >> that's what she was supposed to have been and found out later there was no truth in that. >> i think in retrospect many of these parents were too trusting. >> reporter: michael avenatti is representing the clarys. he claims r. kelly used his celebrity status to manipulate the families and the women. >> if what you're allege something true, how is he able to get away with this for this period of time? >> he surrounded himself with a bunch of people, a bunch of yes men and women that would provide assurance and comfort to these parents relating to the fact that their daughters were going to be safe, that their daughters were going to be looked after. that all of this was legit.

that r. kelly could be trusted. >> from people in the inside, some of the other victims we talked to they all said that the girls have to prove their loyalty to him. by any means necessary. >> he's the problem. he don't have a sickness. he made a choice. >> this is what you guys fail to realize. it was not just r. kelly that was doing this. it was -- it was not only just him and his handlers and cohorts and who -- whatever you want to call him. >> it was my daughter too. >> it was also our daughter because you have to skrupd stand she was lying us and duping us and pulling the wool from the beginning? >> what do you think the mistakes you made? do you take any responsibility. >> i take full responsibility. we never -- we never denied responsibility. i feel like i failed my daughter because i should have saw a different sign. i should have saw the change in my baby girl. >> how do you think this story is going to end with your daughter? >> how i want to see it end? i want to see my daughter leave. >> of course. but are you concerned about how it could end? are you --

>> i've heard like a suicide pact. >> a suicide pact. >> yes, i've heard all kinds of stuff. >> that gives me chills now. >> that should. >> it does. >> the difference is our daughter had experience with trying to do it. see, everybody else can talk it but it's nothing like seeing a father coming in the house and seeing your daughter submerged in water and you have to pick her up and try to get her to the hospital. see, i've been through that so why everybody else take this lightly and, oh, they're throwing this out there. it's real life for us. >> wow. >> they're very concerned. saw jericka's piece there was an anonymous call called into a hotline. the chicago police yesterday after the interview. the chicago police went to investigate. they found that everybody was fine and so for now it's okay but they, of course, are very worried. they say they have heard their daughter tried to leave twice and she was brought back twice. that also concerns them. as for valerie payton, the woman we mentioned, the clarys say they've never met her and cbs

news has not been able to confirm her involvement with azriel clary so there's a lot going on to this story. it keeps changing. supposedly there's going to be a reunion with the clarys and their daughter and the savages and their daughter this week. we will see. >> it reminds me what this story is about. he is a famous pop singer, an r&b singer but the most important thing is the safety and security of the girls. that's the most important thing and the damage he has done this terms of manipulating and abusing allegedly all of these girl. >> parents have to take responsibility too which they are doing saying they would have made different decisions. >> you can see how much pain they're in as well. >> that's very clear. well, facebook is developing a way to take long distance conversations to the next d annlyn "cbs this morning" we will take you inside facebook's lab to see how these 3d avatars will look, move and sound just like you. >> interesting video. >> the future, folks and learn how that could impact your own privacy. if you're on the go subscribe to our cbs morning podcast.

have you seen when people blow out the candles, you see the spit coming out. ew. i think this is nice the way he did. it and i like a twinkie cake. nice. >> happy birthday, senator romney. >> the most important thing. happy birthday. >> he's very fit. he doesn't look like he eats a lot of cake. >> looks great. >> not to be superficial and to focus only on body type. a constant problem with me. we are continuing our partnership with ted to highlight ideas shaping our world. in our "ideas that matter" series, this morning we are talking to sir ken robinson. the man behind the most-watched ted talk of all time. robinson's 2016 talk "do schools kill creativity" was one of first on ted's website began with a simple idea -- >> i want to talk about education, and i want to talk about creativity. my contention is that creativity now is as important in education as literacy. and we should treat it with the same status.

thank you. >> robinson's talk has had more than 56 million views since its release. it has been translate into 62 languages. his latest book, "you, your child, and school: navigating your way to the best education" offers parents a guide to help make important school choices for their kids. sir ken robinson, welcome. >> thank you. >> you were talking about body type. and i said why do you think your ted talk is the most viewed. he goes, "look at me." >> exactly. wouldn't you watch it again? >> for many watchers right now, they don't know what you're saying. >> i would say that's a creative answer. >> yeah. >> yes. >> but let me ask you this question -- we've been reporting all morning about there scandal with american colleges. what does it tell you, that scandal? >> well, obviously what's been going on is illegal. it's fraudulent and awful. and -- to me it points to a much bigger issue which is the entire system is skewed at the moment.

there's an obsession in america with people going to college. the whole k12 education system is pushed very hard in that direction. kids are getting stressed out, parents are stressed. schools are being skewed into all the wrong directions. this is a multibillion dollar industry. all these people gaming the system are trying to improve s.a.t. scores to get kids to college. and i think honestly it's a false dream. we ought to review it. >> in one of your lectures, you say that the dominant culture of culture has come to focus on testing, not teaching and learning. though that directly applies. >> that's right. the arts programs are being cut, recess is being cut. schools across the country are getting rid of recess for children. there is a news report that -- about a program in texas for a group of schools that's reinstating recess so children can play. and i think we've gone mad, haven't we? there's a news report, children found playing. >> let's say you're a parent trying to extricate yourself

from the school system as it teaches. how do you encourage and teach creativity with your kids? >> there's several things very quickly. one is that all children have different talents. that's point really. anybody watching this, if they have two children or more, i bet they're entirely different. the world needs different talents and abilities. this studio depends on people with all kinds of interests and skills. there are all kinds of routes to success. at the moment, we're preoccupied with this particular route. i say it's a false hope. but the consequence is that it's denigrated all the other options. the vacation options, other programs people could take. look at your child as an individual and take proper stock of their real talents and abilities. >> one of your chapters is raise them strong. >> yes. >> explain what you meant by that. >> i mean, children need to be resilient. we need to let them fall over from time to time. i thinkessed with pag. yeah >> that's the college admissions process, let them fail getting into school. into a college, something they really want. she wanted to party at school.

imagine if that's your motivating factor, if she couldn't get into the school that she wants -- >> one of the consequences of this, by the way, is kids don't go out and play. how much time did you spend playing as a child? >> all the time. >> lots of time. >> in the mud -- >> we rode bicycles in the neighborhood. >> yes. yes. >> in liverpool, it was the mean streets -- we played all the time. we came home from school, we went out and played. honestly, we only went home for the food. we were like cats. >> yeah. >> we went to the house where the food -- i have no idea who my natural parents are. we went where the food was. >> college isn't for everybody. there's so much emphasis on you got to go other you got to go. i think some people are clutching their pearls to hear you say it's not for everybody. but you point out it's not for everybody, and that's okay. >> i didn't say it's not for everybody because some people can't make it. there are all kinds of talents and abilities other than those needed for an academic degree.

we tend to denigrate them. there are all kinds of options people should be taking. the other thing to say that it won't take many more students i think leaving college with degrees that aren't worth as much as they thought they were with a mountain of student debt for the whole steam -- >> you said a lot of degrees are going to be useless. >> there are many good reasons to study degrees. not just for work. but we're facing an economic scenario with the spread of artificial intelligence, for example. when i gave that talk in 2006, the iphone hadn't come out. now people are -- pretending like life wasn't possible before the iphone. these are baby steps compared to what's coming down the track. 20 years from now, we don't know what the world will look like in terms of job opportunities. i think pushing people down the old road on the assumption that work for us and work for our kid d -- kids is a mistake. it's about the kind of voice they can get.

>> amen. >> sorry -- >> amen. >> it's -- >> now i want to know. >> well, all right. so creativity's important -- >> and body types. >> no, no. i'm trying to stay focused. creativity's important also even if you're in, you know, math, engineering, physics because the creativity is what's new -- explain that for people who think you're just offering sort of just a pie in the sky stuff. this is important even if you're in science. >> oh, absolutely it is. that's right. i mean, creativity is the process of having original ideas that have value. it -- i think of it as applied imagination. putting your imagination to work. and you know, we're in a room that is the result of human creativity. we're in front of all of these elaborate technologies, in buildings that were designed, wearing clothes that somebody designed and made, we're in front of a table that's been fabricated. the world depends upon human ingenuity. in our school systems, and i don't blame teachers at all, this testing mania is crushing

the impulse and the capacity for original thought. we need that more than ever if you look at the crises we're facing around the world. it's not some fancy thing to be stuck on the end. it's not just about the odds. we need more creative approaches to teaching and learning. >> thank you, mr. creativity. lovely to have you at the table. >> always a pleasure. thank you so much. >> that, of course, sir ken robinson to you. you, your child and school is available in paperback, and you can washington robinson's ted talks and get his take on america's homework debate. visit good wednesday morning to you. it s, especial fheorthba sunshine across the bay area and today's the start of a warming trend for us. daytime highs are right around

where we should be this time of year, mainly low to mid 60s. we will continue to warm-up as we head to the rest of the work week and especially into the weekend.
