facebook. we have a live puppy in the studio. this is charlie. >> he is like our team mascot. >> charlie! we love you. thanks for watching "kpix 5 news this morning." marc madness of course is good morning to our viewers in the west. it's friday, march 22nd, 2019. welcome to "cbs this morning." breaking overnight, two more american troops are killed in afghanistan. we'll take a look at the status of peace talks with the taliban and whether there's an end in sight for america's longest war. boeing looks to make a previously optional safety feature standard. investigator intensify their efforts to learn how the 737 max was certified to fly in the first place. plus, "game of thrones" star amelia clark reveals she suffered two life threatening brain aneurisms.

we'll talk to dr. david acres about the condition and the medical advancements that saved her life. and a high school guidance counsellor and a former college dean of admissions open up about what schools are really looking for. their advice for college bound students and their families. but we begin this morning with a look at today's eye opener, your world in 90 seconds. >> the message president trump has given the world as an america stands by israel. >> the president up ends foreign policy with a tweet. >> it's not about making impact on hesitate re-election? >> no. i wouldn't even know about that. two american service members have been killed in afghanistan. that brings the number killed this year to four. the justice department has issued sabinas into a criminal investigation of the boeing 737 max 8 aircraft. >> boeing offered the warning system for a price. president trump taking a new shot of john mccain.

>> the president calling john mccain horrible. >> why are you doing this? >> people ask me the question. i didn't bring this up, you brought it up. >> more flooding in the midwest. flooding continues to impact millions of people. actress leah clark reveals she's had two life threatening aneurisms since joining the cast of "game of thrones." the ncaa's all-time leader in three pointers. >> and all that matters -- >> political reporting that the president wants robert kraft to join his players at the white house to celebrate their super bowl victory, despite kraft's arrest. >> i think trump is just confused. he only wants kraft to come to dinner because he's counting on him to bring the macaroni and cheese. >> on "cbs this morning." >> some news from the world of criminal justice. >> a bizarre end to a chase in los angeles. >> the suspect puts on a dance as the officers surround him.

this has to be the most l.a. thing i have seen in my whole life. like never that room is ready to audition at any moment. we have you surrounded. there are cameras everywhere. cameras? ♪ city of stars are you shining just for me ♪ >> this morning's eye opener is presented by toyota. let's go places. >> in l.a., you never know. the cameras are on. >> i say give him an a for creativity. >> that's one way to put offhand cuffs. >> exactly. welcome to "cbs this morning." norah and john are off, so anthony and david are with us again. good morning. >> good morning. we begin with breaking news in afghanistan where u.s. forces say two americans were killed during a military operation early today. the service members are the latest casualties of the longest war in american history. 17 years, 5 months and 15 days. >> that's a long time.

these deaths bring the total number of u.s. service members in afghanistan this year to four. 13 americans died there last year. about 12,000 american troops are still stationed in afghanistan amid draw down orders from president trump. senior foreign affairs correspondent and "face the nation" moderator has more on this story. margaret, start with this. what is the current state of talks between the u.s. and the taliban at this time? >> good morning, gayle. the afghan government and the taliban aren't even talking to each other. so that gives you a sense of the tension. the broker said the u.s. did reach a draft agreement with the taliban about the timeline for u.s. withdraw. but last week, the afghan government made an explosive allegation that the details are being deliberately withheld from them. that sparked a condemnation from the white house, but it apparently worked because a top afghan official tells me this morning they are now being briefed, their fear underlying

all of this is that the u.s. is going to cut and run and leave them vulnerable. president trump's tweet about the golan heights, the president up ended more than five deck atds of u.s. policy. israel seized that territory from syria in the '67 war. how is the president's announcement being received? >> well, with that condemnation from the international community, but it is so popular in israel where his friend, prime minister benjamin netanyahu is fighting for survival in an election that's going to be held just 18 days from now. netanyahu has sought to capitalize on his close relationship with the president, even as you see there, featuring him in campaign ads. the prime minister is under a lot of pressure. he faces a possible criminal indictment on charges of bribery and corruption. so this boost helps him. he called the president yesterday and said thank you. now, the president, in an interview, has said it was not

deliberately meant for political reasons, but here in the u.s., even, republican lawmakers, evangelical christians argue this is all going to help israel's security. here is the thing. nothing is changing on the ground. thousands of syrians live there. israel has been in control of it since 1981 when they annexed this territory, which is why it is considered illegal under international law. so there is a lot of concern among diplomates that this sets a dangerous precedent because it allows the country and recognizes its ability to seize territory through military force. so that sends a signal to countries like russia, hey, maybe by creating facts on the ground, you can legitimize your military interventions. >> margaret, thanks. margaret will cover these stories and so much more this sunday on "face the nation." boeing says its approval for new updates to the boeing 737

may come as early as next week. a previously optional safety feature will become standard after two crashes of max jets that killed 346 people. investigators are this morning are still trying to determine why the max fleet was certified to fly in the first place. our transportation correspondent chris van cleve is here with us. >> good morning. there some big questions here. overnight, ethiopian airlines is pushing back questioning its safety culture and pilot training. two complaints were filed with the faa back in 2015, but the airline says today they operate with the highest global standards of quality and safety. this as the focus is increasingly turning towards boeing which may be the subject of a criminal investigation. sources tell cbs news boeing has been subpoenaed. the max neat has been grounded

for more than a week as investigators try to determine what led to two deadly crashes. >> our entire team stands behind the quality and the safety of the aircraft we design, produce and support. >> boeing says it is making changes to its software on the max. the company announced it would now make standard an indicator light that warns pilots of a sensor malfunction that could cause its anti-stall system to activate unnecessarily. investigators believe that anti-stall system, new on the 737 max, triggered on lion air flight 610 repeatedly forcing down the nose of the plane leading to last october's crash. the previously optional indicator light was not installed on the lion air 737 max that crashed or the ethiopian flight that went down last week. a usair line source says that feature would cost roughly $80,000 extra on a plane with a list price of $120 million. >> this problem should not have been that hard to diagnose. >> the faa's former director of

accident investigates jeff gazetti says whether or not the lion air pilots had access to that safety feature, they should have been trained to handle the issue. >> the culture, it seems, of this airline in not aggressively handling the maintenance issues that were recorded as well as the inflight nonnormal situations tells me that there's something amiss with the system's safety of lion airlines. >> the department of defense will also be reviewing all of its boeing aircraft and its training practices for its crew. that includes air force one out of an abundance of caution. >> we all want to know, why was this blinking light, that safety feature, not automatically a part of the plane? >> so this has been an available feature on the 737 since the late 90s. boeing told me it was never a particularly best seller. american airlines has had it in all of their 737s since the '90s. what changed was the importance of the sensors and their link to this anti-stall system which is brand new to the max. and it certainly sounds like, in

hindsight, boeing failed to appreciate the importance of those angle of attack sensors, the importance that both of them belinged to the anti-stall system and that the pilots have a clear understanding of what was going with those two sensors. they became optional to really important in the course of this update. >> but in the meantime, i keep thinking over 300 people lost their lives, seemingly with what we're seeing now, when you see the plane go up and down that way, you know how terrifying that must be for them. i don't understand why safety features are optional to begin with. it says here boeing charges extra for a backup fire extinguisher in the back. i don't understand this. >> there are mandatory required safety features and just like when you buy a car, if you want to go up a level, those things cast more money. japan, for example, requires more fire extinguishers so those airlines get charged more -- >> there's a difference between leather seats and upgrades. >> very nice to see you in

person. >> thanks for having me. president trump's daughter and sorn-in-law face criticism over their use of texts and e-mail messages. house chairman ee i liej elijah cummings say it raises security concerns. he threatened to use alternative means if the white house does not provide more information. paula reed is at the white house with more on this story. paula, good morning. >> good morning. president trump spent much of the 2016 campaign criticizing hillary clinton for her use of personal e-mail. he even accused her of mishandling classified information. those same allegations are being made against his own family. a lawyer fort president's son-in-law, jared kushner, admits kushner used the program whatsapp in his official duties, including communication with people outside the u.s. the attorney confirms ivanka trump received e-mail on her personal account related to her

official duties up until september 2017. the senior white house officials are prohibited from using personal accounts for work unless they copy an official account on the message or forward it. now, kushner's lawyer insists screen shots of his messages were forwarded for archiving, but cannot say whether kushner ever sent classified information via the app. mishandling classified information can result in criminal charges. the white house counsel tells cbs news the white house will review the request and decide wlo whether or not they will provide additional information. democratic investigators demand related to information with the president's conversations with vad mere putin has been denied saying that information is confidential. we've been hearing this for the last two or three weeks about the mueller investigation. what are you hearing today? >> we continue to wait and watch here in washington for the mueller report.

but it's more likely the first thing we get with just be a notification that the attorney general, william barr, has received the report. the president's attorneys insist they don't expect any more indictments, but this justice department doesn't believe a sitting president can be indicted. so any evidence of criminal wrongdoing on the part of the president would likely be passed along to the attorney general who would then have to decide whether or not to pass that along to congress. >> all right. in the meantime, we'll continue to stand by. thank you, paula. >> the cameras and reporters are standing by in full force. border officials in texas say they are seeing a sharp increase in migrant apprehensions, as many as 1,000 a day. to handle the surge, u.s. customs and border officials have begun releasing migrant wes a notice to appear in court at a later date. it's a policy that appears similar to one the white house halted last year. homeland security secretary kiersten nielsen was at the

border yesterday. >> is this a reintroduction of catch and re-reese? because that release? that's what this sounds like. >> it's not a new protocol and there is no reintroduction. the president has, more times than i can count, it is not the policy of the united states to catch and release. but we are out of detention space. >> it may not be policy w, but is sure looks like it. that was a good question yesterday. >> good morning. the valley is the busiest sector for the border patrol. the migrants we're talking about, the ones that are being released are predominantly women and children. these are nonviolent families seeking asylum here in the united states. we don't know how busy or how crowded these dedengz centers are because the government has not let us in recently to take a look at them. but a local charity here, several of them along the southwest border tell me they are at capacity. they are seeing up to 900 people a day. most are eventually bused north

to other shelters or to families where they will stay with them until they have their immigration or asylum cases heard. while secretary nielsen was in town, she wanted to be very clear to say this is not an immigration crisis. but an advocate i spoke to says he believes the government has been holding on to these detainees deliberately to release them all at once creating the perception on of a crisis at the time of her visit. once these detainees are released, they're supposed to go before a federal immigration judge. but one family i spoke to says they won't see a judge until july and that is one year after their apprehension. let's talk weather. catastrophic flooding in the midwest is expected to get even worse this spring. there are new evacuations overnight in missouri and kansas after several levies breached yesterday. in some places, water has spread more than five miles from the

river's bank. forecasters say more rain is expected in parts of the midwest this weekend and the national oceanic and atmospheric administration is warning that half of the country could see major or moderate flatting through the spring. the flooding stems from snowmelt and heavy rainfall after a much snowier than usual winter. noaa is prediblthing a wetter spring than normal. new zealanders came together to observe the muslim call to prayer today in a unified national response to the mosque shootings that killed 50 people last week. thousands, including the prime minister gathered to mourn across the street from one of two mosques that were targeted. some people brought memorial bu contains. many non-muslim women wore head scarfs in a show of solidarity. the mosque's imam hailed the country's love and compassion and said his community is heart

broken, but not broken. >> the response of the country has been extraordinary. really. >> a lot of people are looking at us in this country asking a lot of questions. kinger r. kelly is heading back to court in chicago this morning. he is hoping the judge in his criminal case will now let him travel to the midwest. in court papers filed this week, kelly says he is supposed to perform three to five shows next month in dubai and meet members of the royal family. outside the courthouse in chicago, we have more on robert kelly. >> good morning. when kelly was released on bond last month, he surrendered his passport and understood that he had to get permission from a judge just to leave the state. well, now kelly says that his reputation and finances are in such bad shape that he has to travel overseas to make his money. with his legal problems mounting and his u.s. concerts canceled, r. kelly says he's been offered

a financial lifeline over 7,000 miles away. he's booked several shows in dubai in april, a contract signed before he was arrested in february on ten counts of aggravated criminal sexual abuse. three of his four alleged victims were 16 years old or younger. >> he is obviously upset that he can't move about and play concerts and go about his business. >> his attorney, steve greenberg, says kelly is now struggling to find his legal defense, make child support payments and payday to day expenses. >> he has to go where he can make a living and that happens to be where someone is willing to pay him to perform. and he can get a venue. >> did despite turning out hit songs for decades, he said earlier this month he had about $350,000 left in his back account. >> when you have 30 years of success, unfortunately, it becomes the gift and the curse. people tricking me, managers, role managers, accountant, you

know, never knew any parts of the business. i just knew music and i wanted to do music. >> the three-time grammy winner has been dropped by his record label. streaming services have removed his songs. twice he's relied on friends and fans to get him out of jail, paying his $100,000 bond and more than $161,000 in back child support. >> he's not going to hide. he's not going to flee. frankly, if someone was going to flee, they wouldn't have for permission to flee. >> kelly has pleaded not guilty to the criminal charges. meanwhile, organizers from a group known as mute r. kelly sent a letter to the judge urging the judge to reject kelly's travel requests. they also noted in that letter that several of kelly's alleged victims, they say, met him at his concerts. the rain is back across the bay area and we have more rain

emilia clark is opening up about how she survived life threatening health scars. the 32-year-old actress revealed she survived two brain aneurisms, one of which ruptured in complications from a failed brain surgery. she wrote she had been through a war more gruesome than any. she was at the gym eight years ago when she actually felt the rupture. >> and then i'm doing the plank, and i suddenly get this unbelievable pain that felt very much like an elastic band around my brain. excruciating. and while -- you're used to things hurting in the gym. i was pretty aware quite early on that wasn't normal. >> wow. >> our doctor david egges is here to explain how the doctors treated her. what she says, david, is graphic and terrifying. she says it was shooting, stabbing, constricting pain and

she knew her brain had been damaged. i'm really glad she's telling this story. but i was surprised it happened to someone in their early 20s. >> it can happen at any age. more common in the sixth decade and beyond, but any age. what she described is called a thunder clap headache because all of a sudden it gets turned on. she had a rupture and a bleed. she then went to the bathroom, and actually collapsed in the stall, and that's the most lucky thing. somebody was there to call 911. because 40% of these are deadly in people who have these kind of hemorrhages and these kind of aneurisms that burst. >> are there symptoms that signal you might have this? >> in some people. i mean, they can have slight headaches going in, they can have visual changes in others. but when it hits, it hits. and you know it. >> so is this genetic, or is it from lifestyle? what causes them? >> the answer is yes to all of them. there is a genetic component, we think, to about 20% of them. smoking, high blood pressure, stress can be a component of it. if you've had one, you're much more likely to have others, and

you need to be followed. she will be followed with mris for the rest of her life. >> are there any warning signs? >> she talks in the "new yorker" article about having headaches and some symptoms which may or may not have been related. you know, it's an aneurism. she had this artery in the brain and the wall gets weak and balloons out. and when it ruptures and blood comes out, that's when the dramatic side effects happen. so in most people, it's silent until it ruptures. >> she says she feels 100%. is that her being overly optimistic or does the brain bounce back? >> especially in a 20 or 30-year-old. in you and i, we're past that point. so when it happens when you're older -- >> wow. >> well, you know -- we're not as resilient. but that being said, she has risk of seizure later in life. that scar tissue -- scar tissue that means that electrical circuit in the brain can have seizures. she is going to be monitored for other aneurisms.

to me, she is a hero. she said, listen, i had this disease. i want others to learn about the experiences i had, and i want to demystify it. that's the definition. >> we called her brave for speaking up. >> it really is powerful. until the last decade or so, celebrities never talked about their weaknesses. are you going to hire someone for a movie who may have another one of these? >> yeah. >> so there is vulnerability there, and she took it head-on. and to me, that's power. >> two surgeries, one that replaced part of her skull with titanium. how high is she -- at a significantly greater risk of >> no question about it. because she had two of them. the first one, they went up through the groin, through the femoral artery to the brain and put a coil in. and that coil caused it to clot off. the second one, they tried that, but it bled and so they had to go into the skull and go in that way to click it off. >> wow. >> so these are major surgeries that require crazy technology. >> we've been talking about strokes the past few weeks with the passing of luke perry. and you say there is a connection between an aneurism and stroke. what is that? >> so when the aneurism

ruptured, that's a type of stroke. and basically, the artery spasms down and limits blood supply to the brain, even though there is a bleed in part of the brain. that's what we call a hemorrhagic stroke, a subtype of strokes. >> we are very fortunate that amelia is alive. how brave of her to be speaking out. david agus, great to see you. thank you so much. up next, a look at this morning's other headlines, including a new controversy on ice. officials weigh in on whether an american figure skater intentionally hurt a the rain is back across the bay area, as we head through the afternoon a 2nd round of rain in the afternoon and this evening. rain throughout the day, it is going to be a wet friday but for the weekend dryer, sunny year weather. rain returns monday, unsettled weather continues for most of next week. have a great weekend. great weekend.

>> apologize. i apologize. >> what a tattle tale sfwhchlt by the way, how do you confuse a chocolate bar for a bagel? bacon is around in canada. are there chocolate bars around there too? >> i'm gayle king with anthony mason. john and nora are off. we have everything covered. >> we're following breaking news today. two u.s. service members were killed during a military operation in afghanistan. the pentagon has not said where it happened or how they died. the unidentified service members are the third and fourth u.s. troops killed this year in afghanistan. >> about 12,000 u.s. troops are currently serving in afghanistan. the military is weighing plans to withdraw as many as half of them. >> wart in afghanistan launched more than 17 years ago. it is the longest in american history. this month the u.s. and taliban recently held peace talks to try to end the conflict.

but the call pan ataliban and a government are not talki. >> we continue our series on the road to 2020. we talk about important issues that affect the country. a former two term governor of colorado. during his time in office, he expanded the medicaid coverage, fought for new gun laws and developed the innovative career wise training program to help high school students get apprenticeship. he is one of 14 candidates actively seeking the democratic nomination in 2020 and he's joining us at the table. governor, good to have you. >> good morning. >> a lot to talk to you about. let's start in afghanistan. news of death two of servicemen that makes it four this year alone. do you support the president's plan of negotiating with the taliban even if that means excluding the elected afghan government? >> we have to get the elected government involved as soon as possible. a war going on for 17 years and that we see no indication of

victory, you got to look at different moves and different solutions. one of those is cutting back. now the progress we made in afghanistan in terms of women in schools, all kinds of major changes for the good, we should try to protect them where we can. but ultimately, we need to remove our active military from that. >> as soon as possible? like the president would like? >> as soon as possible gives away, i would go about it that way because it gives away our hand. but it limits our choices. >> what sort of timetable? >> i think the sooner the better. that's slightly softer language than saying asap. i think that there is room for negotiation there to make sure that we protect. think of all the people in afghanistan that have been our allies and giving us intelligence. i mean, we need to make sure that we don't jeopardize a lot of those relation health care planships. >> you talk about a crisis of dfgs division in this country. as a president, how would you heal that? >> i think that's why i'm running for president. we are in the middle of a

national crisis. and i look at what we've done in colorado in terms universal health care. we did it in a bipartisan way. we were able to get the oil and gas industry to sit down with the environmental community and address methane regulations. that kind of outcome based, you know, progress really progressive achievement is something that the country, i think, needs. there is an appetite for. not just people waving arms and jumping around. an april tipetite for people ge things done. >> i heard you said you would consider a woman, would you consider a republican vice president? >> you know, i don't that i would work. i'm a great believer once the election soef election is over, find the most talented people i can find from different backgrounds and around the country and republicans and democrats. but if you had a republican as the vice president candidate that, would alienate so many democrats that would diminish

your chance of victory. >> you were asked that question by dana bash this week when asked if you would put a woman on the ticket. instead of just saying yes or, no you asked for the question, well yshgs isn't a woman being asked if she would put a male on the ticket. what did you mean fwh!by that? >> i said sure. but what i was trying to say, however inartfully, i was trying to say the question itself discounts the possibility that a woman would get the nomination. >> governor, i want to ask you, i was talking to a fellow millennial. i said governor hickenlooper is going to be on the show. he said he was on the show when pot became legal and he believes in climate change. how do you punch through in a crowded field? you don't have the name recognition of a lot of folks. how do you rise to the top? >> when you look at everybody, i'm the one person that has been out there. i was a entrepreneur, i built a business from scratch, i put a

team together, i was mayor for eight years. by any record we achieved, we made real progress with the city of denver and took it from a flyover city to major emerging city. and then as governor, we have really created progressive achievement again and again. i think there is that appetite for people that when i got elected governor, we were 40th in job creation. now we're the number one economy in the country the last few years according to "u.s. news and world report." we made all prot grethis progre. you say here's what i can do. we reduced teenage pregnancy in colorado by 60% in the last eight years. these are the kinds of achievements that most millennials care about. here's how we're going to create opportunities in education for everybody. >> can we talk about the shooting in new zealand? six days after the deadliest mass shooting, they're moving to change the laws with little resistance there. when you look at that, do you think we need to take notes or is there something we can learn from that or do you think that's how they do it but that's not

how we operate here? or do we need to? >> i everyone should be paying attention to how quickly they're moving forward. and when we took on the nra back in 2013 after the shooting in the aurora movie theater, we couldn't get them to go along with universal background checks. we pulled out the statistics and the previous year getting just half the gun purchases, i mean, this were -- it was amazing. 38 people convicted of homicide that tried to buy a gun and we stopped them. 3,000 violent criminal that's tried to buy a gun and we stopped them. still, we couldn't get a single republican to support that initiative. >> would gun control be a top priority for your administration? >> yeah. i think we would go immediately -- you start state by state. it should be a national effort and a national victory in terms of universal background checks, high capacity magazines. these are things that don't take away. we don't want to take away people's guns. we're not trying to, you know, diminish the second amendment. we have to make sure that we keep guns out of the hands of

dangerous people. >> you talk about being a proud entrepreneur. >> it's funny. it's like a -- when you go nerd in high school. well, you know, that's not first label i choose. it is hard to argue it. of course. if you're going to put me into a category, i am a capitalist. >> governor, apologies. we have to leave it there. th

welcome back. a nasty custody battle is at the center of an unusual death of a new york mother. michelle neurauter, a mother of three, was found dead in her home from an apatients suicide in august -- apparent suicide in august of 2017. an upstate new york district attorney investigated whether mish's former husband lloyd could have convinced her daughter to help murder her

for five years the couple was embroiled in bitter custody battles. michelle accused lloyd of turning the daughters against her. susan was michelle's attorney. >> there were 26 separate sets of filings. >> and how unusual is that? >> that is super unusual. if you have two or three, it's a lot. to have 26 is astounding. >> on the day police found michelle, the couple's middle daughter, 19-year-old carrie at college in rochester, called corning police and spoke with lieutenant jeff heverally. >> my dad told me about my mom.

and that she -- i'm sorry. >> that's okay. >> and he called me and told me that my mom killed herself. >> carrie said that over the weekend her father lloyd helped her move into her college apartment and that he had spent all night at this hotel. but when police checked the hotel video, they actually see lloyd getting into carrie's car and not returning until early the next morning. >> we don't see lloyd all night long. here it is 6:30 in the morning and here he comes on to the camera. still appears to be wearing the same clothes that he had on the night before. >> police soon begin listening in on phone calls between father and daughter. and what they hear makes them even more suspicious. >> i'm freaking out. >> me too. >> if lloyd did kill michelle, did he somehow convince carrie to help him? you think she was brainwashed.

>> i really think she was brainwashed. >> erin joins us now on set. what do you mean by that question? >> will well, i have to tell you this is a new one for me. there is a name for it. it is parental alienation. it is more than bad mouthing the kids. a parent to the child. it is actually a campaign over time where you're actually reprogramming the way your child feels. so one parent does it to the other parent. and reprograms the child to devalue that other parent. >> do you think a jury buy that's? >> at first i thought a jury is not going to believe it. jurors are normal people who go through divorces. and the american bar association publishes a study that showed that out of 1,000 families going through a divorce where child custody is an issue, 65% had gone through parental alienation. i think fit wif it was presente properly, a jury may say this happened to me. what is hard to believe is that you could see a child disliking

or devaluing the other parent but getting involved in a murder, you'll see it in this hour. you'll see. >> i'm hooked. thank you, erin. you can see "carrie's choice" tomorrow on "48 hours." a window to our past is unearthed in china. coming up, the incredible discover riff thousands of well preserved fossils for more than a half billion years ago. you're watching "cbs this morning" on a friday morning. come on back. that's when i knew i had to quit. for real this time. that's why i'm using nicorette. only nicorette gum has patented dual-coated technology for great taste. plus intense craving relief. every great why, needs a great how. no matter how much you clean, does your house still smell stuffy?

"the guardian" reports a group of more than 500 communities and native american robinson in the u.s. filed a lawsuit against eight members of the family that owns purdue pharma. the lawsuit obtained by cbs news alleges the sackler family members purpose plealy played down -- purposely play the down the prescription of painkillers

"national geographic" reports scientists found a mind might ha -blowing haul of fossils. more than 4,000 separate fossils were discovered in rocks on the bank of a southern chinese city. they represent about 100 species, more than half of which were previous unknown. >> exciting. the "washington post" says it's not just you. 51 young people in america do not have a romantic partner. new data from the university of chicago found that it's a big increase from 2004 when it was just 33%. researchers did not give a reason but said unemployed people are more likely to be single. they also noted younger americans wait longer to have children and get married -- and get married later than previous generations. >> why are you looking at me?

this week in our school this week in our school matters series, we're focusing on the price of college admission, especially when you play by the rules. many high school seniors and parents are waiting for decisions from admission's offices. this morning we head to long beach, california, to meet gilbert, one of many high school guidance counsellors trying to match college students with the best school possible. >> so you want me to look at what again? as a college counsellor, i'm the point person that opens up their eyes as to what opportunities

they may have. give them clarity on the admission process. >> so you're able to log in? >> yes. >> and maneuvering the college admissions. yes, they can go to stanford, ucla, yale, but at the end of the day, are you going to feel comfortable and supported? it's great to have the strong alumni networks. but it's also bonus when you can actually pave your own way. >> you have done this? yes. they need to learn to how to advocate for themselves, know how to be able to have cold conversations with individuals who they never met. we are v. to teach them the skills. they don't really engage with the world as much as i, for example, did. make sure the phone number is correct. it's about inspiring and motivating and telling them that it's possible. and that they belong somewhere.

you got admitted. >> yeah. >> i've been trying for weeks. >> okay. all right. >> sarah is a former associate dean of admissions at the university of pennsylvania. and former dean of admissions and financial aid at franklin and and marshal college, she provides college counselling and advice on her website admissionsrevolution.com. good morning. >> good morning. >> i'm a parent who's been through this three times now. i might have helped write a couple of college application essays, i won't confess to it. when i was helping, i was wondering, what is it that colleges want? what are they looking for? >> you have to remember, the admissions officers, they're going to be reading sometimes hundreds of applications a day, thousands a week. so you want to surprise them. you want to move them. and students should be themselves. they should be proud of it. and any student who is doing something a little bit differently is going to stand out to the admissions officers.

when i work with students, i want not just the doers but the future trail blazers, those are the students that admissions officers get really excited about. >> and let's not kid ourselves. it has become much more competitive even just over the past decade or so. right? >> absolutely. >> you know, they admit rates at most of the high will he selective college this is point are in the single digits. >> yeah. >> i remember being at the university of pennsylvania when the admit rate was 20%. i felt like mondnone of my kids getting in. that's when the admit rate was 20%. >> are you looking at our social media? i mean you know a lot of kids are thinking about that. >> you know, it's -- admissions officers don't have too much time to look at a student's social media accounts. but two scenarios they will look at it is if the student makes it known all over their application and they put in links to the website or if they're a blogger they would provide it. an admission officer will click on the link or just simply that they're nosey and they have the time and curiosity to go check

to make room for other students who were well connected, those wonderful regular kids would get pulled out of a class. >> you think the schools themselves are complicit in any way? >> well, it is up to the admissio admissions office, to still review that application. even if it is a recruited athlete or well connected child of a celebrity or politician. it is up to an admission's officer to read through that complication carefully the same way they review every other application. >> the best way to get into a school, do you have to have good grades, do you have to have outstanding extra curricular activities? what do you have to do to get into the school of your dreams? >> so you have to be competitive on an objective level. they have to have the right classes. stle to have the right grades. near perfect grades for the highly selected schools and high test scores. that's basic. then it's all the other pieces of the application that really give it texture and flavor. >> admission office label complicates as tagged and

untagged. i never heard that. what is that? >> i use that a lot when i write and when i speak about college admissions. if a student is recruited athlete is a child of a big donor or knows someone, their application is usually tagged and the admission's officer, even if it's a young 22-year-old admission's officer, they know you have to be really careful with that application and that will get many sets of eyes. >> let this person in tag. >> yeah. and once they get admitted, they can't be moved out of the class. there is a process that happens after all the applications are read and evaluated. last two weeks before the acceptance letters go out, lots of movement happens. students that are not tagged get pulled out of the class to make room for more of the tagged kids. >> a lot of things happen behind closed doors. thank you. great to see you. >> thank you. >> homeland star damon lewis plays a hedge fund manager you don't want to cross on the hit
