israel's two main parties are virtually tied for the number of seats they have in parliamt last night both of them actually declared victory. we are at blue and white party headquarters of benny gantz, who took to the stage and called himself israel's next prime minister. but not long after benjamin netanyahu took to the stage at his party headquarters and said he was declaring victory. he had fireworks and all. but here's the thing, neither of these parties have enough seats in parliament to create a government on their own. so the tough part begins, a coalition must be formed. at this point it appears benjamin netanyahu's likud party has the pathway to do that. he would rely on support from ultra orthodox rate that govern.

and this further push to the right, this swing to the right here inl only have an impact on local domestic policies but also world affairs and certainly a path to peace here in the middle east. palestinians have already expressed concerns over the last-minute campaign pledge made by benjamin netanyahu to annex settlements in the west bank. that is, of course, quite controversial because that land is seen by most of the world as occupied territory. norah? >> more there seth in tel aviv, israel, thank you. the trump administration is laying out details of its tough new strategy on immigration. a senior immigration official said the white house wants the right to detain migrant children longer and make it harder for asylum seekers to get work permits. new government figures show more than 103,000 people were apprehended at the u.s./mexico border in march. more than 92,000 were between

ports of entry. major garrett is at the white house. good morning. >> good morning. the white house driven by re-election impulgses see two outcomes. one, the hardline policy makes matters worse, more detentions and suffering and congress seeing all of this is forced to act. or congress does not act, the president runs generally against bemtway obstruction or democratic resistance and keeps immigration issue politically alive. >> we have the worst laws of any country anywhere in the world. >> reporter: the president is leaning hard right and seeking re-election daylight. in a now-deleted video on twitter, mr. trump turns the table on race and discrimination showing the immigrants bias elites. >> they want open borders, pouring into our country. >> reporter: the president is looking are for more spending on larger detention facilities without congressional approval.

is today and many expected are to leave soon thereafter. whether he will be the permanent successor is unclear but the turmoil within the department of homeland security has some in congress alarmed. >> major, we're following it too. thank you very much, major. attorney general william barr is returning to capitol hill this morning where he's likely to face questions from the senate panel about robert mueller's final report. barr told lawmakers yesterday he would hand over the report on russian election interference within a week with some information removed as required by the law. he said he's working with mueller's team to decide which parts should not be made public. democrats say if they do not get the complete report, they will issue a subpoena for it. u.s. officials tell cbs news barr's assemblying a group to investigate how the russian probe began back in 2016. democrats at the hearing asked barr how he decided in two days that mueller did not find enough

evidence to prove president trump or anyone else obstructed justice. senator bernie sanders said he's a millionaire. in an interview with "the new york times," the democratic presidential candidate said his 2016 book "our revolution" pushed him into the ranks of high earners as it entered "the new york times's" best-seller list. the vermont senator denounced millionaires for years but admitted to ed o'keefe the book earned him significant royalties. it is in an interview you will see only on "cbs this morning." >> i wrote two books in recent years. one was a best seller on "the new york times" list, translated to five, six languages and did very well. i made money on that book. >> the 2020 presidential hopeful also said he would release ten years of tax returns by tax day on monday. in the past sanders faced criticism from political rivals for not releasing all of his tax returns. in our next hour, we'll bring you more of our conversation with senator sanders. he explains how his health care

proposal to provide medicare for all would work. the military says all three u.s. troops killed by a bomb attack monday in afghanistan were marines. they had been identified as 25-year-old corporal robert hendricks, 31-year-old sergeant benjamin hines and 43-year-old staff sergeant christopher slutman. he was also a 15-year veteran of the new york city fire department. he won a medal back in 2014 for rescuing a woman from a burning apartment. >> chris was the epitome of what it means to be a new york city firefighter. he was brave, conscientious, dependable and always rose to the occasion. >> mayor bill de blasio has ordered flags in new york to be lowered to half-staff yesterday. slutman leaves behind a wife and three daughters. the taliban claimed responsibility for the attack. whenever we read these stories, i'm always mindful there's a family and people that love these people behind the scenes.

comeback here in new york city. we have to stop it now. >> reporter: new york city mare bill de blasio says he's determined to defend his city from the largest measles outbreak in the country. on tuesday he issued a public health emergency demanding all people over the age of six months who live or go to school in parts of williamsburg to get vaccinated for face $1,000 fine. according to the cdc, the measles vaccine could be up to 97% effective. >> the measle vaccine works. it is safe and effective and time tested. >> reporter: but in the highly concentrated orthodox community, some parents refuse. >> it's against my personal religious believe. >> reporter: this mother of five said none of her children were vaccinated and all had measles in the last month. >> i cannot agree to the new system. >> there's no, no religious obligation not to do it. >> reporter: but rabbi david

neederman said the torah provides do not pum others at risk. >> health is the most important thing and therefore there's no justification to not vaccinate. it's just the opposite. >> reporter: mayor de blasio's declaration could face legal challenges. raft la in rockland county, new york, mayor banned the vaccination but the judge overruled him saying the rise did not rise to the level of an epidemic. they announced new orders on tuesday to keep unvaccinated children home. >> this outbreak is an imminent threat to our public health. you have to not be paying attention to not understand that. >> reporter: by contrast the measles vaccine is considered safe and effective by every major medical body here in the u.s. here in new york religious schools and day cares are being hold to keep unvaccinated children out of the classroom or they could face closure. anthony? >> a lot of concern in new york

you another charge. now, while i say that, this is not a vindictive prosecution. what this is is appropriate prosecution from people who are serious about their case because this case started by means of complaint, capital c. a complaint means you can get arrested on a charge that is written. but that's not the end. because within 30 days the government must go to a grand jury and return an indictment or the complaint gets dismissed. none of these facts are new. none of the story has changed. >> doesn't remorse and contrition really matter? you look at the way these two high-profile women are handling it. one seems textbook perfect. one seems textbook really, really wrong. what's your take on that? >> my take on it is we have exactly the two extremes. felicity huffman has been in fact pitch perfect. he's looked ashamed. she's looked stricken from the very beginning and accepting

responsibility. accepting responsibility and saying she really wants to get this done and over with because she knew she did wrong. in addition, she had two kids. she just did this with one child. lori loughlin on the other hand, two children, two $250,000 payments alleged and goes into the court, goes into boston, signs autographs, smiles with those pearly whites, goes up to the prosecutors, the temerity to go up to a prosecutor and shake three prosecutors' hands -- >> why is that wrong? >> why is that wrong? they are your adversaries in a court of law where decorum is important. this is a woman -- may not be the true facts but it certainly is the appearance -- who looked like she feels that she can buy her way out of a jail sentence. that is not going to happen hematter, doesn't it? >> critically from beginning to end. >> thank you. >> you're welcome. >> you have more to say? >> can i come back tomorrow!

janua jan, good morning. this is scary stuff. >> it really is and sad. this fisher-price rocker, like this one, is the phrase "all night long." the company says parents should stop using the product once the baby is able to roll over. if that happens, they can suffocate. that is a risk some parents say is not clear enough, and this product, they say, is too dangerous to be on the market. >> he was the best thing that ever happened to us. >> reporter: ezra overn to wton the pride and joy of parents evan and keenan. >> i felt like my purpose finally came to me. this is what life is for. >> reporter: in december 2017, keenan says he placed ezra in a fisher-price rock and play sleeper at bedtime. when keenan awoke, he said he found his 5-month-old son face down and unresponsive. >> i picked him up and he was like a doll.

e was hard, and his face was blue and his nose was pushed in. >> reporter: the couple say they called 911 and began cpr before arriving at the hospital. >> i didn't want to believe it at that moment. so when they told me he was gone and i saw him for the last time, it just was the worst day of my life. >> reporter: ezra died three days before christmas. his parents blame fisher-price. >> they're supposed to be about safety, but that wasn't the case. >> reporter: fisher-price says the rock 'n play sleeper meets all applicable safety standards and adds it's essential that the product warnings and instructions are always followed. those warnings, which are also sewn on to the device, include a suffocation hazard and an advisory to stop using the product once an infant can roll over. last week, fisher-price issued an alert with the u.s. consumer product safety commission reducing the recommended age limit from about 5 months to 3. >> we do not believe that is

adequate. >> reporter: consumer reports' rachel peachman said the magazine found deaths linked to the sleeper of babies younger than 3 months. >> it's a risk for babies of any age. there's no circumstance where this is a safe environment for babies to sleep. >> reporter: the overtons say they want to help other parents avoid a tragedy like theirs. >> when you think about ezra now, how do you think of him? >> i think of him as a superhero baby. >> superhero baby? >> we think of that all the time. i just knew he was meant for some big purpose. i think of him as being the stopping point to having this product out there. so he's going to save a lot more babies and families this type of devastation. >> well, the overtons say they had no reason to suspect the rock 'n play sleeper was dangerous. they got it as a hand me down from a neighbor. the american academy of pediatrics recommend babies sleep on firm, flat surfaces.

anthony. >> this is just heartbreaking. >> it is. jan, before you go, i know we keep talking about fisher-price, but other companies make this little rocking thing. does this recall, do you think, apply to all of them? is there something specific with the fisher-price? >> this has been specifically -- and the recalls are recommended by the american academy of pediatrics, it's been specific to fisher-price, but the pediatrics organization also says that parents really shouldn't use any of these kind of devices because the baby should be kept flat and not with all this padding around them because if they turn over, you know, it could suffocate them. so i think it's a broad warning, but the proposed recall is pretty specific to this one company. >> all right, jan. >> i so, so feel for the overtons. they did nothing wrong. nothing wrong. >> that's what's heartbreaking. >> hopefully this is a good reminder and will save people's lives. >> jan, thank you. a debate over the hit song "old town road" is raising quons abt diversity in country music. ahead, why one of the biggest names in country music is addin

kids. >> jesse, always good to see you. i have a question that has nothing to do with sports. a lot of people know you from "the bachelor." i notice you're not wearing a wedding ring? >> how much time do we have left? >> we have a couple seconds. >> i met someone who is way, way out of my league who i'm very much in love with. not married yet. i'm fooling her every day. >> what's her name? >> emily. she's at home watching. >> in the green room he took a selfie with oprah. >> until 8:34 that was the highlight. >> thank you, jesse, so glad to see you here. tomorrur "school matters" series, we'll look at how a nationwide shortage of school nurses can be putting kids at rest. you go, emily. after decades in television, golden globe winner sandra oh

good morning to you. we are tracking new traffic issues this morning. one of them, good news it's the opposite of the commute direction, but it's causing a serious problem. this is northbound 101 just north of tiburon boulevard. just a few moments ago, they opened up a couple of lanes, but they had the entirety of northbound 101 shutdown. this is until 12:30 for emergency construction. my guess this is a landslide because it was loose on highway 101 earlier.

further south, another 280 accident northbound 280 at race street. one lane is blocked. it's slowing things down as you're making your way out of the south bay. and it is still pretty slow and go on the nippets. a beautiful day ahead with sunshine across the bay area. warm, spring-like temps and breezy. here's a live look from our treasure island camera. it's shaking. northwesterly winds, 10 to 12 miles per hour this morning. as we head through the afternoon, increasing 20 to 30 mile-per-hour winds in spots. temperatures mid to upper 60s to mid to low 70s. daytime highs running 3 to 6 degrees above average for this time of year. 65 in san francisco. 69 in oakland. and fremont. 71 san jose. windy for tomorrow, but dry through the next several days.
