against him. >> the fear of backlash because last night, most of us could not go to sleep and because after this, muslims can try to hide. >> reporter: sri lanka's president has said he's going to fire the defense chiefs and restructure the police and security services, but, frankly, most people here think that's just too little and far too late. >> elizabeth palmer in sri lanka. thank you, liz. police in the san francisco bay area say eight people were hurt when a driver appeared to mow them down on purpose. the incident happened yesterday in sunnyvale, just west of san jose. police say a car was speeding when it slammed into a group of pedestrians before crashing into a tree. some of the victims have serious injuries. bikes and personal items were scattered in the street. investigators say the incident appears to have been intentional

happened. >> reporter: tennant said she confided in family and friends but never filed charges. >> i was scared. >> she said it's taken her all this time. her lawyer said they're seeking unspecified punitive damages and an apology. >> a tough story to hear. thank you. acting homeland security chief kevin mcaleenan says separating families on the border is not on the table in this sunday's "60 minutes." more than 3,000 children have been separated due to the president's now zero tolerance policy. >> i think when you lose the public's trust and you have to recalibrate, that means it wasn't successful.

>> looking back on it, does it work. >> it was effective. it reduced the flow but it didn't work in the sense we lost the public's trust. >> there certainly needs to be a sound bite on that. last week we brought you a story of a man reunited with his son after nearly a year. this morning manuel bojorquez brings us another emotional reunion. they're originally from honduras, two brothers brought back to newark. listen to this. >> reporter: he stepped off the plane from houston sex months to the day after being separated from his 8-year-old brother andy. >> junior has been raising andy on his own for the past two

so this might be a surprise to him. >> paperwork in hand he walked into the center alone and minutes later walked out with his arm tightly around his shoulder. their smiles smark the end of being apart. >> he's like your father. >> reporter: they never lost hope they would see each other again and now that andy is better with his big brother, the soccer fanatic has only one thing on his mind. you want to play. >> play he did with junior at his side. >> we should point out junior and andy are back in houston. they're awaiting a court date. i think as was pointed out, we discuss policy. we want to point the people

behind the policy and how they're affected. >> that's why i think it's so good to put a face on those numbers. >> what originally was called policy, it's happening on the heads of little children. >> the good news is we eenl continue to bring you those stories. we finally know the man who became an overnight millure. your name is manuel franco. you're 24 years old. go, you. his biggest goal before winning was getting $1,000 in his bank account. he was feeling weirdly lucky when he bought those tickets. >> i honestly looked at the

camera and i wanted to wink at it. >> reporter: he checked his $10 online after work the next night when he heard the winner was sold in wisconsin. >> i was like, i live in wisconsin. he was happy when his ticket won $4 but he nearly missed the big one. it was stuck to another. >> i was like, no freaking way. i screamed for about five or ten minutes. good thing my neighbors didn't here. >> i was sweating so much. i really wanted to say something to anybody there and i knew i was a bad decision and i pretty much never showed up to work again. >> his odds were 1 in 192.2 million. now after taking the lump sum,

♪ in today's morning rounds, the fda just approved the first device to treat adhd. we first told you yesterday about the breakthrough that will be marketed as a treatment for children who are 7 to 12 years old. in a clinical trial, kids got low-level electrical pulses while they slept. an estimated 6.1 million children have been diagnosed with adhd in the u.s. according to a national survey of children's health in 2016. our dr. tara narula is here.

so how does this work? >> the device is basically a new treatment that's nondrug related, which is great for a lot of parents who don't want to put their kids on medication. it's the size of a cell phone and has a wire that attaches to a patch that's placed on the child's forehead. they wear it at night while they're sleeping for about eight hours. it's meant for kids over the age of 7 not on medication. essentially, the way it works is it emits a low-level electrical pulse that essentially stimulates a cranial nerve. the idea is that that nerve then sends signals into the brain, particularly to the areas that are important for attention, for functioning and behavior, and the idea is it can help symptoms. they saw in this small study of about 60 kids over four weeks, it did reduce symptoms. it seems to be on par with the effects of nonstimulant medications. >> so this is the area of the brain that's still developing. this is the executive function area of the brain. >> right. >> doesn't get fully cooked until about age 25.

so what's the downside? it feels like you're tinkering with a part of the brain that's developing. >> this is clearly the first of its kind. i think probably we have a long way to go in terms of the research. but as far as this study, they did not see any serious adverse events. they did see side effects like drowsiness, increased appetite, some fatigue, headache, teeth clenching. but as i said, it was a small study, and it was over a short period of time. we don't know what it would be like if kids were on medication when they used this. >> how do you know the difference between a child that's a little ram bunk, a little distracted, and someone that has adhd? >> i think there's a little confusion. a lot of the symptoms, like daydreaming or fidgeting or talking a lot, could be misconstrued.

really, this is a chronic disorder that affects about 10% of children. it's characterized by hyperactivity, impulsivity. you see it at school and at home. it persists for longer than six months. >> and they can't control it? >> and it affects function. if their function is limited academically, socially, emotionally, that's when you might want your child to be seen and evaluated. we know a third of these kids have other disorders like anxiety disorders or mood disorders. a third will go on to carry the symptoms into adulthood. the issue is it can be associated with things like increased risk of substance abuse, injury, accidental or intentional, poor academic performance. important to really truly identify it and get kids treated for it. >> once you have it, do you always have it? >> some people may outgrow it. some, it can persist into adulthood for sure. and there are treatments. we know for kids under 6, the recommendation is behavioral therapy. this is really where we teach parents how to kind of reinforce positive behaviors and eliminate those ones that are negative.

and also then medication in combination with behavioral therapy for kids over 6. the class of drugs we typically use are stimulants like a adderall. but they have side effects too. >> there's help out there. doctors want to help. >> as always, check with your doctor. thank you. coming up next, a look at this morning's other headlines, including why the brothers involved in the alleged jussie smollett hoax are now suing two of the "empire" actors good wednesday morning to you. it's going to be feeling like summer once again today. so a hot day inland. 90 in fairfield and livermore. 9 in concord. 80 for oakland. mid 70 in san francisco and

good morning to our viewers in the west. it's th, 2019. welcome back to "cbs this morning." ahead the link between isis and the sri lanka bombings what they say about the future of the terror organization. we'll talk with former cia insider, michael burrell, you can hear it here. the conversation with the national teacher of the year. we'll announce the winner on "cbs this morning." first, here is today ice eye opener at 8:00. president trump is strongly resisting democrats who want to question current and former white house aids.

the white house is keeping all the legal options open with regard to any subpoenas served under administration officials. >> biden's first campaign event is in philly. >> he's going to fire the defense structures and restructure the police and security securities. people think it's far too little too late. >> it's taken her all the time to muster up the courage to tell her story. her lawyer said they're seeking punitive damages and apology. >> i thought he was going rape me. >> it's unusual for body cam video hob released after just one week. it's a process that typically takes four to six months. with increasing pressure, officials chose to be more transparent. >> there are now 20 democrats running for president. 20. yes. one more candidate and the fire marshall will step in and shut it down. you clowns get out of here!

all right. we have to clear this hallway. sanders, get off the floor! there are some other prominent democrats who agree it's getting a bit too crowded. but it sorts itself out. that's a democracy. >> right. more to come. >> right. >> i'm norah o'donnell with gayle king and john dicke jon. sri lanka's president is asking his country's police chief and defense minister to resign after officials fail to act on warnings ahead of sunday's terror attacks. at least 359 people are now reported killed in a string of suicide bombings at churches and hotels on easter sunday. police say 60 people have been arrested in connection with the attacks. the u.s. embassy in sri lanka said it had no prior knowledge of any threats. the ambassador said this morning she believes terrorist groups are still plotting possible attacks inside that country. isis released this video claiming that it shows a group

of suicide bombers that took part in the attacks after pledging allegiance to the terror group. isis has offered no other evidence to back up its claim of responsibility. cbs news senior national contributor joins us from washington. a former deputy director and acting director of the cia and host of intelligence matters pod cast. good morning, mike. >> good morning. >> so, two days passed before isis claimed responsibility. what does this tell you about what role isis may or may not have actually played in this bombing? >> so, john, there's two possibilities. right. one is that they somehow directed the attack. the other is that they simply inspired it. the fact that it took them two days to claim responsibility suggests to me that it might be the latter inspired rather than the former directed. because if they directed it, they would have known from the get go that played a role.

it's suggestive of inspiration rather than direction, but i think it's going to take some time for us to figure out that exactly. >> it was so well coordinated. i mean, the number of attacks. does that suggest some foreign interference or help? >> so it does on the surface but i think one thing we have to be conscious of is that the sir lane can security services are not strong. i think it's even fair to say they're inept. so you have to look at the capabilities of the terrorist group relative to the security service that they're running up against. what is interesting, to me, is less the fact they didn't do enough with the warning they were given and more of the fact that all of this happened right underneath their nose and they didn't see any of it. that's more interesting to me. it suggests that they need significant strengthening as a security service. >> i want to get your take on a couple of big stories out this morning that involve russian

interference in our elections, first. jared kushner, one of the president's closest advisors was here in new york. he rarely does interviews, and he suggested yesterday the multiple investigations into russian election interference were more harmful to american democracy than essentially the original interference. let's listen to what he said. >> you look at you know what russia did buying some facebook ads to try to sew dissent and it's a terrible thing. i think the investigations and the spikelation that happened for the last two years had a much harsher impact on our democracy than a couple of facebook ads. >> was it just facebook ads that russia was involved in? >> no. the russians across a whole range of activities from stealing information and giving it to wikileaks to trying to get inside state and local voting systems, to the use of their overt media, to everything they did on social media, it was huge -- it was a very

significant and extensive interference. jared is trying to down play this a little bit by saying a few ads. right. we're talking about ads that reached over 100 million people. so this was a significant attack and the investigation never would have occurred had the attack never occurred. so i think the attack is the most significant thing here. >> go ahead. >>well, multifaceted they were trying to get in lots of points. the reason this is important not just what happened in the past but what is happening in the future in the "new york times" has a piece this morning that said former department of homeland secretary was told by mick mulvaney not to bring up new russian interference problems in front of the president. it would make the president angry. >> it's clear to me and clear to u.s. intelligence officials, and we know this from public testimony by the director of

national intelligence, that it is highly likely that the russians are going to come back and play a significant role in the 2020 election, and that we should expect new approaches, new things they're going to do to try to get around the defenses we put in place. that means, to me, there needs to be a very significant effort on the part of the u.s. government to defend ourselves. and that really requires the leadership of the president. and if he's not providing that leadership, then i worry about whether our government will be ready for the attack that is almost certainly coming. >> all right. you'll be calling the white house to let them know that when? >> right away. >> thank you. >> good to see you. >> it's stunning reporting in the "new york times" whether you have a white house-led, a multifaceted way to push back against the cyber attacks and other things. thank you so much. and we should point out that mike is interviewing of secretary of state mike pompeo.

they're trying to, you know, protect charles and camila. everyone forgets them but they're the next in line and harry's staff and the four of them are together and splits together. each needs their own office. now they each need their own offices with their own agendas. they're all kind of fighting. and the queen's of course the big brother of it all. and they get the last say. but there's a lot of his si fits. and the second thing, of course, is the press who have believed in royal boys as theirs. they felt protective about them. but these boys are not children anymore. they're not. >> they're no longer boys. >> yeah. so now they've got their own agency and the press don't like it. they want them to be theirs. >> they remember them. >> is it all vanity? all of this sniping and fighting or is there a real something really at stake? >> well, i mean, what is at stake is a kind of spotlight and power shift.

charles is now 78 and he's still the prince of wales. >> why doesn't the queen step down? she's 93. >> she won't step down because she doesn't believe it's about an office. she thinks it's about an chor nation. she will die on her bed she took the oath. that's the person she is. >> we're waiting for baby sussex. >> we are. >> how are some of the traditions changing with them in terms of a royal baby? >> well, they've decided they don't want to have any royal photograph on the step, you know, when they come outside the hospital. >> is that offensive to people? >> it has really angered the prez -- press. i'm not sure it was the greatest of moves in terms of the popularity. but on the other hand, this is a very private event. she's allowed to do what she wants after having a baby. i think she could have given

them like two minutes of getting into a car. it would have been a better karma at this particular moment. the fact they decided not to is, obviously, a defiant gesture saying this is our private act. it has definitely upset people a lot. the other thing she's doing differently having her own obgyn there. not the queen's doctors. she doesn't want queen's team. i get. kate didn't do that because kate always is so perfect. she just did exactly what she was supposed to do. but meghan, again, she's an independent woman of her own thinking. >> you get your choice of gynecological team. >> right. >> use the word defiant because they make the decision they want to have their picture released the way they want to. could it be they're not in line for the throne, they want to do this very differently. >> yeah. totally entitled. i think it's been a lot of animosity. but, you know, she wanted a deliver -- woman to deliver her

rob without offending you or your students. is there a difference between regular students and regular schools and students being taught because they're in a juvenile detention facility? is there any difference? >> my kids are like teenagers. they made mistakes and they're paying for mistakes, but america is a country of scored chances and in order for them to achieve and get that second chance they deserve a quality education like everybody el. >> because they're in that system, do they feel that idea of equity is farther away from them because of what they've experienced so far? >> they've had past experiences. as soon as they come to my school, hey, you're number one, i'm going to give you what you need, all my co-workers, we're going to give you what you need to be successful. the best quote was i like this

school, i wish i could go here but not be here to go here. >> what does it mean to be honored as teacher of the year? >> it's recognition of my students. they're so amazing and their story doesn't get told. sometimes it ooh's great opportunity to tell my students sometimes the temporary setback could be what you need to see the light. >> what's the part of teaching and learning that most unlocks for them how wonderful this can be to learn new things? is it a fact? a story. >> stories. kids make those connections to those people who look like them. that's why culturally relevant teaching is so important to them. then they can achieve through the roof. >> you said you weren't supposed to tell anybody but you told your mom. why did you tell her early? >> it's mom.

>> was she upset with you before. >> she was a little dwrup set i kept it a secret i was in the finals. that disappointed look parents give you. >> you have this year to be teacher of the year. what's the mainish you want people to know? >> the maybe issue is we need economic and quality equity across the board. we need to make sure all students receive everything they need and they have teachers who look like them, who are relevant to their culture can inspire them to do whatever. >> teachers can make a big, big difference. >> it should be our number one fa sill. >> big rob, we love you. >> we see your big heart. >> that's right. my goodness. we see it from space. we're really proud to have you here. and we'll be right back.
