you know, that right? you'll have nobody guarding your potatoes. these people are sick. pelosi is a sick woman. she's got a lot of problems. a lot of mental problems. >> reporter: the back and forth between president trump and house speaker nancy pelosi -- >> i didn't know that he would be so sensitive. he's always talking about other people's -- their weight, their pounds. >> reporter: british army veteran tom moore raised tens of millions for britain's national health service is to be knighted. all that -- >> bella luna and nala trading blows during a live interview. she was glancing around but kept her cool. all that matters. >> there's a lot more home cooking going on now. are you -- >> next question. i think there's something wrong with my oven. i don't think it's me. please don't judge. >> i'm not judging at all. >> please don't judge -- >> i made some sourdough last night that you could drive a nail with. on "cbs this morning." >> we may not be able to take part in all of life's pleasures right now, but this next video proves you can still enjoy a

good laugh with a friend over some drinks. >> drink now -- [ laughter ] >> that's me and steve after a few espresso martini's, right, steve? >> absolutely. >> you couldn't get more than that. >> i tried. >> welcome to "cbs this morning." talk about enjoying a good laugh with a good friend. let me just start with this. anthony and tony, happy anniversary to us. happy anniversary to us. one year ago today -- >> happy anniversary. >> i know -- yeah. i know we're going to talk about it later, but i couldn't resist. we're going to begin with breaking news coming from michigan this morning. this is the dramatic scene right off of main street in downtown midland, michigan, where catastrophic flooding has inundated the streets after two dams burst. flooding is out of control in midland county, that's northwest of saginaw. and the governor has declared a

state of emergency there. she says the city which has a population of 42,000 could be nine feet under water. think about that for a second, by this afternoon. anthony? >> some 10,000 people, gayle, are living near the two dams, have already been told to evacuate. the river that runs between the dams and midland is about to crest four feet above its old record. adriana diaz is following this fast-developing story. >> reporter: frightening video captures the moment the edenville dam in midland county collapsed. it was one of two catastrophic dam failures in the area yesterday. >> this is serious, and -- time to take action to keep themselves safe and to evacuate. >> reporter: late tuesday, michigan governor gretchen whitmer pleaded with residents to seek higher ground. >> we are anticipating an historic high water level. >> reporter: the edenville and sanford dam breaches come as

record-breaking rainfall of more than seven inches drenched parts r to quickly rise to eek causing historic levels. the national weather service has issued emergency flash flood warnings for communities surrounding the dams. >> evacuate the area -- >> reporter: emergency responders went door to door early tuesday morning before the breaches to warn residents to get out. >> i've been here approximately 26 years and have never had this type of situation occur. >> reporter: both dams already had questionable track records. in 2018, the edenville dam was given an unsatisfactory condition rating by the state. the sanford dam received a fair rating. meanwhile, michigan is still fighting to stave off the spread of coronavirus. governor whitmer urged residents seeking refuge at shelters to continue social distancing and wearing face masks. >> to go through this in the

midst of a global pandemic is almost unthinkable. we are here, and to the best of our ability we're going to navigate this together. >> reporter: now this comes as parts of michigan are set to reopen as soon as friday. so the state is dealing with two major challenges -- managing those reopenings and assessing the damage from the dam failures. tony? >> thank you very much. let's get to city manager brad kaye. he joins us now. we heard that parts of your area could be nine feet under water by this afternoon. you're there right now. what are you seeing, what are you hearing? >> we're hearing a lot of that exactly. we are -- we live in the river valley in midland we're used to river floods. expeenced before. wenever we've already exceeded the highest record level floods we ever had, and we are looking to continue probably about another four, as many as eight feet of water coming through our city within the next few hours. >> we saw some footage there was first responders in your area going door to door asking people to evacuate. but those evacuation orders are not mandatory.

what's your message to people who may not be heeding the warning? >> the message is take it seriously. this is an important flood. it's a serious flood. it damages property. will mage prt seririsks we have asked people to leave. we started doing that yesterday afternoon. the sooner they do that the better. we are still waiting for a dam to fully fail which we expect sometime today. and when that happens, we'll have as few as three hours before the floodwaters will rise rapidly. >> and brad, for people who do want to get out, if they get in their vehicles, what precautions are being taken? what's being set up to help them get out safely? >> well, there are routes are the important part. a lot of streets are closed, flooded, not to pass through. people need to know where they're going. the best way is to get to the city and county's websites, look to see which roads have been closed and which way they can get there. secondly, they need to know where to go.

our preference is friends and family, a place that is safe. if they can't reach that or if they don't have the resources, we have shelters open and available with beds that will be available as long as they need them. >> all right. that's good to know. we heard you say there's another dam you think might go later today. hopefully it holds. thank you so much, we'll let you get back to work. anthony? >> thanks. we're learning about -- more about new guidelines from the cdc for states reopening during the pandemic. the 60-page document was quietly released over the weekend and includes detailed advice on key 's like schools and mass transit. as of today, all 50 esstd easin using their own local measures. ben tracy is at the white house. what are we learning exactly about the new guidelines? >> reporter: good morning. well, a white house official

tells me that this new cdc document is supposed to be supplemental guidance to the very short six pages that they put out last week. there are some real questions about how helpful this will now be. for instance, in the section on mass transit it says that people should maintain as much social distancing as possible. but that's something the airline industry is already struggling to do. now the white house has not been a fan of detailed guidance like this because it wants states to figure out how to open as quickly as possible. >> we did the right thing, but now we have to get back to work. >> reporter: at a cabinet meeting at the white house tuesday, president trump said he was right to shut down the country to prevent the spread of coronavirus but said it's also now right to push states to open back up. >> we're opening up our country. we're opening it up very fast. >> reporter: on capitol hill, democrats grilled treasury secretary steven mnuchin, accusing the administration of rushing to send people back to work without a plan or equipment to keep them safe.

how many workers should give their lives to increase the gdp or dow jones by 1,000 points? >> no workers should give their lives to do that, senator, and i think your characterization is unfair. >> reporter: mnuchin gave a blunt warning about the impact of prolonged lockdowns on the u.s. economy. >> there is the risk of permt mage >> reporter: meanwhile, president trump is doubling down on his decision to take a daily dose of hydroxychloroquine, an anti-malaria drug not proven to prevent or treat coronavirus. >> i think it's worth it as a line of defense, and i'll stay on it for a while longer. i'm curious myself. but it seems to be very safe. >> reporter: but his own vice president, mike pence, is not following mr. trump's lead. >> my physician has not recommended that, but i wouldn't hesitate to take the counsel of my doctor. >> reporter: during events centthere was littleident and social distancing,nd almost no one wore a mask despite the white house saying aides are now required to wear one when

they're not at their desks. now tomorrow president trump is expected to visit a ford motor plant in michigan. ford says it has made the white house aware of its policy that everyone entering that plant wears a mask. the president was asked if he would comply with that, and he said it depends on the situation. gayle? >> all right, ben. thank you very much. former cdc director, tom frieden, his global public health initiative resolve to save lives is releasing its own guidance for governments to use as they reopen. now it is recommending a four-level color-coded system. tom frieden joins us first on "cbs this morning" to lay it out for us. it's good to see you again. can you explain how your plan differs from what the cdc is recommending and why you think it's better? >> gayle, what we're doing is getting past two dichotomies that are just wrong.

it's not open versus closed or versus the economy. it's data driven, science-driven reopening that takes account of both the health and the economic impacts of the virus and our response to it. this is a way of doing three things. we empower people to protect themselves and their families, we hold governments accountable for making progress and sharing the data openly, and we work together to accelerate progress toward a new normal. >> so how does the color-coded system work, tom? it reminds me of a traffic light. red, yellow, green. no matter where you go in this country, we all know what those colors mean. so what are you saying here? because it seems, right now it's states decide, and maybe part of the problem is there's no uniformity. >> we think this has to be looked at in each community, not just state by state but parts of states, cities, counties. what we did was to scour the world and find the best systems

we could find anywhere and then create recommendations that are completely consistent with what the white house and cdc released, but also are much more specific and we think practical. we look at seven core indicators, and that results in four different levels with specific recommendations for what individuals, businesses, schools, and other institutions can do at each of those levels, including where you need to wear a mask. there's been confusion about that. but there's a big difference if you're indoors versus outdoors, within six feet, and what the risk alert level of your community is. and a simple table will give you that information so that in the future we would hope that for areas that use this, checking your covid risk level and deciding whether to wear a mask this week would be as routine as deciding whether to bring an umbrella into the office. >> yeah. that alone would be very helpful, mask or no mask would

be really, really helpful to a lot of different people. you know, there appears to be how shall we say, escalating tension between the white house and the cdc. over the weekend, peter navarro said that the cdc let the country down when it came to testing. what impact do you think that will have or that has when you have friction between those two? >> when we've looked around the world and around this country, governments that have been guided by public health and that have fully supported public health have reduced infections, reduced deaths, and protected their economy. this isn't about health versus economics. this is about being in it together to control the virus as well as possible so that we can reopen. one of the things that countries are finding all around the world is that if people don't feel safe, they don't go out, and the economy doesn't recover. yogi berra said if people don't want to come to the ballpark, how are you going to stop them? if people don't feel safe going out, you're not going to be able to reopen the environment.

and this risk level approach empowers people to know what they and what the vulnerable people and their families and communities can do to stay safe and to help other people be safe. people be safe. >> all right, tom, we thank you for joining us. it's always helpful to have you here. thank you, sir. tony. all right, gayle, thank you. thousands of workers at a ford assembly plant in chicago had to go home early yesterday after a worker tested positive for the krien coronavirus. work did resume later last nit,an indication of some of the challenges that companies face as they reopen. manual is in miami, another place with businesses, he opening today. good morning. what's the approach there? >> reporter: tony, good morning. miami dade and nearby broward county account for nearly half of all the cases in florida. that's why miami's mayor told us that in his view, the city is taking it slowly and is he asking business owners they're read the county's 185-page rule

book before letting anyone inside. >> we've got a plexiglass. we taped up and salon owners in miami are taking every precaution. >> getting ready for the next client. >> as they prepare to reopen their doors for the first time in nearly two months under strict health and safety rules. >> i think the pressure right now is tremendous toopen >> reporter: miami mayor says his city is taking a slow and steady approach giving miami residents time to learn the new rules. >> irresponsible behavior or behavior that's unchecked will result in a dramatic increase which could get us back to square one. >> reporter: in the last week, florida has seen more than 5,300 new cases and 273 deaths. on tuesday, governor ron itiving folks an d five new opportunity to get tested. >> reporter: desantis also pointed out that his testing has

increased the percent of positive tests has trended downward. and in some communities, floridians are already out, and working out. in connecticut, salon owners and hair care professionals protected governor ned lamont's decision to keep them closed nlg unt until june 1st. in texas, they were allowed to reopen with temperature checks and smaller classroom groups. >> within minutes of the governor making the announcement, within the first three minutes we got three or four calls. >> reporter: and summer camps i and new york reportedly say they're preparing to reopen later this year. >> we're going to be putting into place the protocols and the testing that demonstrate that we safe. ep children and our staff >> reporter: jay jacobs operates six summer camps along the east coast and says they're taking steps to bring campers back. >> is it too soon?

>> i think if we were talking about april, yes. you can't wait till it actually disappears or that there's a vaccine. so we have to manage it. >> reporter: the potential reopening of summer camps could be cause for concern for some health officials because of a rare illness that could be tied to covid-19. 15-year-old dariana died over the weekend after being diagnosed with the so he called multisystem inflammatory syndrome. symptoms can include fever, rashes, abdominal pain, swollen hands and feet more than 250 cases have been confirmed in 23 states, though experts say most children do fully recover. anthony. >> yeah, all right, manuel, thank you. millions of college seniors had been expecting to graduate into a strong job market. ahead, how many now face any place you are.

a black woman is suing four white police officers in a

son. marvia and derek gray were accused of stealing a television in march from a sam's club. they say they bought the tv earlier in the day, and they had receipts. she says they suffered physical and emotional injuries from their violent arrest. in an exclusive interview with adriana diaz, they said they were terrified of being killed. only thing i could do is watch him die. >> reporter: marvia and derek gray say they're still traumatized after this incident with police when they were accused of stealing a tv. >> they just started manhandling us like we was animals. >> reporter: last night the city of des peres provided cbs news with surveillance video that shows what happened before the incident in march. the grays appear to be in an animated discussion with sam's club staff before an officer enters and reaches for derek who pull away. his 68-year-old mother tries to shield him, but then another officer enters the store, and a struggle ensues with marvia

against the wall and derek slammed to the ground. according to the grays' lawsuit, earlier that day,ca he rurned foroloffice fas allowr a store associate confirmed the purchase. the suit claims the officer later called in an attempted theft. the grays' lawyer provided this receipt to cbs news. the grays say they decided to return the purchase because of the theft accusation. that's when they say things escalated. >> when i looked around and all this -- just blood coming down on this child's eyes, on this child's face. >> reporter: derek says his head was split open, and three of his teeth were shattered. >> i could not get over turning around and my son's said, mom, they are hurting me, mom. they are hurting me. >> reporter: the incident ended

with gray, a security officer, being wheeled out of the store with his headband acknowledged. he -- head bandaged. he is still in disbelief. do you think this was racially motivated? >> yes. no -- no doubt. yes, it was. yes, ma'am. i know because i'm a security officer. i know when i'm being racially profiled. >> reporter: attorney andrew m. stroth represents the gray family. could it be that there was reason to believe that your clients were involved in something? >> well, there's nothing that the grays did to provoke that type of an attack. my thing is if they were a white older woman and her white son, would that same event have happened? >> i know about respecting the law. but does the law respect us? that's the question. >> reporter: >> that does seem to be a very good question. that was adriana diaz reporting. des peres police say they cannot comment because of pending

litigation. a statement released days after the march incident says officers were responding to a reported larceny. and upon arrival, our officers were novembered it was the previous suspects from the earlier incident and that the items were, in , stolen. marvia gray currently faces charges herself including resisting arrest, which she calls ridiculous. that video was very difficult to watch. and i watched mr. gray and his mother sitting, and the way mr. gray held his head down while his mother was talking -- i think it seems humiliating. it was very frightening. i hope that this is not the end of this story for these two. this is very, very troubling video. especially when you hear that they had a receipt. i don't understand it. >> yeah, there were a lot of off ramps to the conflict. it's a wonder to me why people take the off ramps. it didn't have to go down the way it went down. we'll leave it there. ahead, vlad duthiers looking at the stories you're going to be talking about.
