♪ amazing grace >> what we've seen and the emotion-ridden conflict is the result of so much built up anger and sadness that has been engrained in our black community, not just because of five minutes of horror but 400 years. if you're feeling that sadness, that anger, it's not only understandable. it's right. ♪ welcome to "cbs this morning." it has been a very disturbing and frightening 24 hours. chances are things have changed from the time you went to bed last night to when you woke up this morning. and that's where we will begin in minneapolis. three days of rage over the death of a black man in an encounter with minneapolis police have left parts of that city in ruins. this is a look at a line of

officers in riot gear. these pictures were taken this morning after a direct attack on police last night. protesters set fire to the police station where four officers were fired after george floyd's death used to work. other businesses in the area were attacked and looted even after minnesota's governor activated the national guard. >> disperse. stop all disruptive behavior. >> you can see national guard trucks on the street this morning telling people to go home. anthony? >> president trump overnight said he cannot stand back from what's happening and accused minneapolis mayor of, quote, a total lack of leadership. he followed this with another tweet that twitter flagged for violating its rules about glorifying violence. the president wrote, these thugs are dishonoring the memory of george floyd and i won't let

that happen. when the looting starts, the shooting starts. mayor jacob frey says the president, quote, knows nothing about the strength of minneapolis. we're gonna getet through this. jeff pegues is at the scene of last night's worst violence. jeff, things clearly worsened overnight. what's it like there this morning? >> well, it is still tense. this morning, anthony, so much has happened. in fact, down the street, 20-somethi 20-something-year-old man walked down the street. he wanted to go home. we kept telling him you can't go that way. he went that way. police are down there at the line they've drawn. they're talking to him and threatened to arrest him. we'll see what happens but that is part of the story here right now. you see in this neighborhood smoke billowing because there is still a fire somewhere over there. in the foreground, that's a shopping center. not anymore. it's a shell of what it used to be. you see the building all tagged

up. there's graffiti all over the place. and here at this corner where we've been pushed back, this domino's pizza restaurant, it's been torched. i can still feel the heat. that and also down the block arrests. the national guard moved in about an hour and a half or so ago. they've been firing tear gas. some of it in our direction. they've also arrested a cnn reporter. so it is still tense this morning as it has been for the last 48 hours or so. from the beginning of the unrest, the third precinct remained a symbol and a target of protesters' anger. it finally spilled over just after 10:00 p.m. last night. the mayor jacob frey ordered police to abandon the building as if first hundreds, then a thousand descended on the site. some throwing rocks and lighting fireworks. protesters remained throwing

wood and other debris, feeding the fire that burned out of control for hours. the mayor last night defended his decision to let the precinct burn. >> the symbolism of a building cannot outweigh the importance of life, of our officers or the public. brick and mortar is not as important as life. >> the governor ordered 500 national guard soldiers into minneapolis to tamp down the violence. earlier, protesters outside a target store in nearby st. paul destroyed the windows of a police vehicle and used shopping carts as weapons, forcing customers inside to evacuate. longtime community activist spike moss who has called for calm said this is what happens to a community without answers. >> but does this violence help? >> it doesn't help anything but it lets you know that they are tired. they're tired of being oppressed, being misused. being abused. being murdered at will.

>> i kant breatcan't breathe. >> reporter: at the heart of it, the lack of charges against the four officers, including derek chauvin seen nailing on floyd's neck while floyd repeatedly said he can't breathe. chauvin has had 18 complaints against him in his career but only faced discipline for two. hennepin county attorney michael freeman called the death senseless but won't rush the state's investigation. >> that was excessive and that was wrong. the question in my business is, is it criminal? that's what i have to prove. >> reporter: early thursday we met korboi valla who invested his life savings into opening this sports bar. looters came back to try to steal his safe. >> it hurts me. it's not fair. it's not right. you know, we've been working so hard for this place. this is not just for me. it's for my family. >> reporter: his cousin janelle

called on them to focus on justice without harming the community. >> you try to come in and we show you you're black and we're black you're trying to steal. it's so disrespectful. i'm so embarrassed of my city. >> reporter: he also spoke to lexxie erdahl. >> is looting for justice? >> no. >> is setting things on fire for justice? >> no, but i think it's a message and something that i couldn't as a white person fully put into words, i guess. if their only means of a message is this, then i stand with them. >> reporter: typically, the media is granted access to locations like that, but this morning, we saw a cnn crew getting arrested. they were even handcuffed and taken away from the scene and tear gas was fired in our direction so it is still a tense situation here in minneapolis.

tony? >> tense is the word for it, jeff. thank you very much. we want to show you page one of this morning's "minneapolis star tribune." it calls the violence a state of agony. joining us now is minnesota attorney general keith ellison, a former congressman from the district that includes minneapolis. attorney general ellison, thank you for being with us. there's so much to get to. i want to begin with your reaction to those protests overnight, as well as your reaction to the president and people who may agree with him that these people are thugs who, in some cases, may deserve to be shot. >> well, calling people thugs and calling on people to get shot is -- stems from the same sort of attitude that resulted in the death of george floyd. the tough guy, macho man, i'm going to make you do what i want you to do attitude. it's the heart of the problem. and we need the president and

everybody else who thinks that you can get to a better place through threats of violence to stop it. i think violence begets violence and trump's angry words feed an ugly cycle that is going on in my beloved city, which i'm so proud of, but i'm just paining for now. look, here's what i would say to the people who are protesting. you have made your point. do not let people who want to burn or break things distort the message of justice for george. the fact is, he deserves to have his case heard. justice needs to come forward. bu we can't -- now the conversation has shifted to, you know, what has happened in the streets as opposed to what's going to happen to these officers who so horrifyingly, you know, treated him on the corner of chicago and 38th. so we need to refocus our

attention on what really matters. and we need to ignore the calls of people like donald trump, and we need to really start to put our city, our great city back in -- back the way it was and try to be in a better place. >> so mr. attorney general, on that subject, getting to a better place and justice for george floyd, what does justice look like in your view? >> well, look, when you are in the business of prosecution and investigation, prejudging what you're going to do before you have facts is not a good idea because we do have a sixth amendment right to a fair trial. i don't want a defense attorney to get up and say, oh, they all were against my client from the beginning. that's not true. but we have all seen the videotape. it's deeply disturbing. it looks very, very much like

george floyd was abused, mistreated. and it looks like that knee on the neck may well have caused his death. those facts are in front of our eyes and the whole world at this point. i think we need to move forward in an expeditious but thorough way to complete whatever investigation is needed and to bring charges, if warranted. now, of course, i have my own opinion about whether those charges are warranted. i clearly do. but i am not going to start announcing those things in order to prejudice an investigation and hand the other side a defense. so i am going to just say we're going to follow the evidence. and i think this case needs to be moving forward in the most expeditious manner. the protesters are calling for charges. if charges are warranted, there is no reason that we should stop and halt and not move forward

with that. so those are my views on that. >> mr. ellison? mr. ellison? >> yes. >> i think everybody wants to make sure that justice is done here. and i think part of the problem is, if it was a normal citizen who was seen on tape doing what this police officer was doing, we keep hearing about, you can arrest people on probable cause. can you help us all understand -- >> right. >> -- why this police officer, and then the video from the other side, mr. ellison, where you see two other officers hold playing floyd down while he's begging and pleading for his life. why haven't these men been arrested and the investigation continue? it happens all of the time when you see somebody that looks like they committed a crime, and we're all watching. that's why there's so much pain and so much anger in your city today. you have to help us understand. >> ma'am, i'm very well aware why there's pain and anger in my city.

i lived here. i lived my whole adult life here. i raised my four kids here. i've represented this district in congress. i know about my city, okay? but i will tell you, that it is true. that probable cause can support a criminal complaint and the jurisdiction that has primary responsibility for charging has decided up until this moment not to do so. the minnesota attorney general's office is not legally authorized to charge unless and until the case is referred to us. at which time we will handle the case according to law in an expeditious and thorough manner in accordance with justice. that's what we will do. but -- >> you're misunderstanding my question. you're misunderstanding my question. i am not asking about the attorney general's office. i'm asking as someone who understands the law, why these police officers haven't been charged. i'm not saying -- i'm not trying

to tell you why there is anger in your city. >> may i answer? >> yes, please. >> may i answer, please? the answer for making the charge authority has not done so. that is the answer. do they have good reasons? i assume so. that's the answer. >> all right. attorney general keith ellison, we'll have to leave it there. of course, there's more to discuss. thank you for your time. anthony? >> now to the fight between president trump and twitter that escalated overnight as we mentioned. the company flagged a presidential tweet about demonstrators in minneapolis. this happened hours after mr. trump signed an executive order targeting twitter and other social media platforms. a twitter spokesman told cbs news, all we have to say about the response to the president overnight is in the tweet thread. paula reid is at the white house. paula, how does the president justify this order? >> good morning.

anthony, the president claims that twitter, a private company, is trying to censor him, and he wants to use his power as president to crack down. but only congress has the power to curtail twitter's legal protections. >> i think we can say that we're going to regulate. >> reporter: the executive order targets liability protections which shield companies from being sued for most of the content posted to their sites. the move came two days after twitter, for the first time, added warnings to two of the president's tweets inviting readers to get the facts. >> if it were legal, if it were able to be legally shut down, i would do it. >> reporter: but the president does not intend to stop tweeting. and has done so dozens of times since being flagged on tuesday. >> there's nothing i would rather do than get rid of my whole twitter account, but i'm able to get, to i guess, 186 million people, when you add up all the different accounts and add facebook and instagram. >> reporter: but an executive order cannot change federal law.

legal experts say this move is effectively toothless. after the announcement, social media companies defended their platforms. in a statement, facebook warned this would penalize companies that choose to allow controversial speech and encourage platforms to censor anything that might offend anyone. and twitter calls it a reactionary and politicized approach to a landmark law that would threaten the future of online speech and internet freedoms. house speaker nancy pelosi said the order is just meant to divert attention from the devastation brought by covid-19. >> i see it as a distraction from what is the challenge at hand, which is to save lives. >> reporter: today he will try to divert attention to china. the president says he will announce new action against china after they passed national security laws meant to curb freedoms in hong kong. tony? >> all right, paula, thank you. ahead -- some good news. i'll say that again. some good news in the coronavirus pandemic for the

[ chants welcome back to "cbs this morning." protests in minneapolis over the death of george floyd took a shocking turn last night when demonstrators broke into a police station and set it on fire. anger over floyd's death is also building in other cities all across america. there were protests last night in places like denver. in phoenix, in new york city, columbus, ohio, los angeles and chicago, gayle, and hanging ondr all of this for context is a simple fact that young black men and boys have had a 1 in 1,000 chance of dying at the hands of police in recent years, according to the strongest

available research on the subject. that certainly puts into context the anger that you see on the street here. that is more than two times the rate that white men and boys die at the hands of police. and if there's a way to understand what's behind all of this, there's a long history and then also that short and violent history that i just mentioned. >> and that is what the protesters -- exactly what the protesters want you to know, tony. there is a lot of pain and anger in minneapolis. based on what tony just said, there's a lot of pain and anger in this country. the nba's minnesota timberwolves released a statement sending condolences to his family. it says in part, quote, we will work tirelessly to use our voices to influence change, encourage healing and promote thoughtful action as we move forward. kevin burleson is an assistant coach with the team. he also went to the university of minnesota, and he's a brother of cbs sports nate burleson. good morning to you. glad to see you. i'm sorry, though, it's under

these circumstances. i know you know this city very well. i'm curious about what you saw and what you heard last night, how close you live to the area. >> well, yeah, i'm right downtown so, you know, i'm hearing the sirens and the protesters all night. it's tough because, you know, it's one of the things where, obviously, you don't want the vandalism, the damage and some of the violence, but you can feel the frustration and the sadness in the city. so it's just hard to tell people how to mourn. obviously, i don't condone the violence and everything like that, but it's -- you know, you can feel their pain. you can feel the city's pain. >> you say it's hard to tell people how to mourn. are you concerned that the looting will overshadow the -- what this is really all about? the death, the very untimely, unfortunate death of george floyd? are you concerned that that message will be lost in all of this?

>> yes, somewhat. so this is not what it's about. i think if you talked to most of the protesters, even some of them doing some of the damage, they are saying things like, you know, we don't want to do this and this is not what we're about. but we don't know what else to do. we're frustrated. we feel like we don't have a voice. so i think it's almost like they have their hands in the air and just looking for answers. >> yeah, it's hard, though, kevin, when you look at the images and people burning down their own communities or taking tvs from target. you think, what has that got to do with the death of george floyd. people have to look at the history of what's happened in minneapolis. >> yeah, i mean, it's one of them things where, you know, i was talking to my brother and one of the things we talked about, this is not shocking because this is something that happens all the time in many cities. and in minneapolis, philando castillo, about four years ago,

people thought there would be some type of police reform and some hope. and then when the officer got off on that. and there's a lot of -- >> you are talking about the philando castillo case? >> nae. >> where he was shot in the car with a seat belt on? >> yes. yeah, i'm talking about that case. i wasn't here for that but i remember seeing that and, obviously, tears came to my eyes because that could be me, my brother, my cousin, anybody. and i think the city, you know, holds that. and like i said, there's things that happen all the time that's not filmed that stays in that community and that trauma just stays inside of them so when things like this happen, a senseless death, almost in slow motion in front of you, that pent-up anger has to come out. i don't condone it. i think most of the protesters don't condone a lot of the stuff going on, but they feel they have no choice. >> kevin, it's anthony mason.

i know you all had a team meeting about this. what did you say in that meeting? >> well, i mean, honestly, to be honest, for myself, i was a little emotional, so i actually was more observative and listened but we had a lot of leaders in that meeting. our gm, head coach and a lot of other staff members talked. and it was a -- it was more about, you know, how some of the players and the staff and coach saunders were talking about how we're going to help heal the community and how we can support george and stanley and, you know, whatever we can do. so it was a good meeting and a lot of player want to be involved and they want to be involved in the right way. you'll see something soon, i'm pretty sure. >> all right. i thought it was interesting that you said you can't tell people how to mourn in circumstances like this. what's your bottom line on what you hope we will all take away from this? >> well, you know, just looking at the city and how people are

uniting. it might not be exactly the right way for, you know, a viewer saying, hey, they are looting, doing this and doing that. but you'll see white, black, asian. there's all different types of races downtown supporting. and everybody is not looting. and everybody is not vandalizing. but they are supporting because they want to see justice. in my opinion, it's ridiculous that we're not seeing justice swiftly. so i just want everybody to take away that we are uniting down here. there's people on the front lines that are really doing great things. there are activists out here that's been doing it for a long time and really pushing for police reform and all that. so we're going to get justice. >> all right, kevin burleson, thank you. ahead -- new york city's plans to begin reopening after the coronavirus lockdown. and a reminder, you can always get this morning's news by subscribing to the "cbs this morning podcast." get the day's top stories in

saying the first phase of reopening the city could begin as early as next week. >> what's phase one? construction, manufacturing, wholesale and retail, but only with things like curbside pick-up. >> reporter: not included the 27,000 restaurants, which has left some business owners frustrated. >> give us a little something to start with. you don't give us anything. we don't know june, july, august, when? >> reporter: meanwhile, new york's governor andrew cuomo promised to sign an executive order that will allow business owners to deny entry to anyone not wearing a mask. >> that store owner has a right to protect themselves. >> reporter: but you have some businesses around the country that are taking the opposite approach. like the liberty tree tavern in elgin, texas. there's a sign that says if people feel that they need to wear a mask, they should stay home until they feel that it's safe. 24 states reported increases in their average new covid-19 cases compared to two weeks ago. including alabama, which has more than 5,000 new positive cases of coronavirus in the last

attorney who said you either need to get a test result. antoine said he tried that, but the testing company said we're not going to test you for now because you have no symptoms. or the attorney told antoine, get a doctor's note approving you to go back to work. he called his doctor and the doctor said, hey, that's on you. we're not writing you a note. you went to that party and took that risk. imagine how cases like this might wind up in the courts. as companies say to employees, stay home and we're not going to pay you. >> you're right, david. that's a great report and a great reminder as well. thank you very much. ahead, vlad will be looking at the stories you'll be tal

it'sflow kickin it's friday, may 29th, 2020. welcome back to "cbs this morning." i'm gayle king with tony dokoupil and anthony mason. protesters set fire to a minneapolis police station as outrage builds over the death of george floyd. >> demanding prosecution. civil rights attorney tells us why he wants criminal charges against all four officers fired for the deadly encounter. >> and toll of the coronavirus. one out of four working americans loses his or her job because of the virus. plus we remember some of the lives lost to the pandemic. first, here's today's eye

opener at 8:00. three days of rage over the death of a black man in an encounter in minneapolis police have left parts of the city in ruins. it is still tense. down the block, arrests. the national guard moved in. they've been firing tear gas. some of it in our direction. the president claims that twitter is trying to censor him. he wants to use his power as president to crack down, but only congress has the power to curtail twitter's legal protections. what does justice look like in your view? >> prejudging what you're going to do before you have facts is not a good idea. but we've seen the videotape. it looks like that knee on the neck may well have caused his death. there is a lot of pain and anger right now in our city. >> when we weren't setting fires, we weren't burning down buildings, all you said is just everything takes time. the time's up.

>> for all of us whose fathers and sons and nephews or whose selves that could have been, our demand has to be that we take this energy and channel it toward helping prevent something like that from ever happening again. welcome back to "cbs this morning." all eyes on minneapolis where things are volatile and people clearly on edge. a lot of pain in that city this morning, anthony. >> indeed. as the mayor said, a lot of pain and anger. this morning minneapolis police have cleared the scene of massive protests where demonstrators burned a police station overnight. flames erupted from the third precinct near the spot where george floyd was held down by police on monday before he died. the mayor ordered police to evacuate the building before protesters broke in and set it on fire. we are at the scene of the

violent protests. what's it like right now, jeff? >> reporter: well, anthony, we have law enforcement behind me. we're a couple blocks away from the precinct. city officials are defending abandoning the precinct. the mayor said brick and mortar is not as important as lifer. there are several fires still burning. you see the billowing smoke, and in the foreground, you see law enforcement. there is a mix of law enforcement here now at the scene. down there, right over here you have a different contingent and beyond that you can probably see the humvees in the distance. that's because the national guard here is on the scene as well. overnight president trump tweeted about the protests, threatening to use force. in this tweet that twitter has since flagged for, quote, glorifying violence, mr. trump wrote when the looting starts, the shooting starts. there hasn't been any shooting

out here this morning. maybe because of the huge law enforcement presence that has now been brought in to calm the tension which it appears at this time to have done. however, there is still a lot of cleanup to be done, and we see some of that starting as well. look at this building over here. this is still smoking from yesterday's fire. and it looks like a water main of some sort has ruptured. that's why you see this huge flow of water down there. and then along many of these buildings, the burned out buildings over here as well, you see a lot of graffiti. there's a lot of work ahead, and still law enforcement is trying to lower tension in this area. gayle? >> jeff, thank you, we're joined by the attorney of the floyd family. he's also defended the families of michael brown and trayvon

martin. five days ago we didn't know george floyd's name. now people are angry and frustrated about what's happened. what is the family's conversation about what has happened to george floyd and what they want to see happen now? >> gayle, it is all too familiar, and tragically, this family, another black family in turmoil and just heart broken after witnessing with their very eyes a young man who they have known all their life. his brothers and sisters talk about when they were little children, they reflect now knowing that george is gone. and the fact that the district attorney yesterday came out and made the report that there is not enough evidence, probable cause to make an arrest today, that they have to continue to

investigate was an insult on top of injury. the fact that you see on the video, gayle, the police have their knee on their neck, on his neck, not for one minute, not for two minutes, not for three or four minutes or five minutes in. not for six or seven minutes but over eight minutes, and that's what we cannot unsee and that's why his family is in pain. that's why the protesters are in pain. >> ben. ben, but ben, in addition to that, there's new video that was released overnight where you see two other police officers. we've all seen that horrific heart breaking video of the man -- of the officer's knee on his neck, but in the other video from the other angle you see two other officers holding down his legs. so as an official, what more have you been told that investigators need to see to bring charges in this case? what are you hearing?

>> when we talk directly to the district attorney's office, they said that they are trying to dot every i and cross every t. they said they want to talk to all the witnesses and to us, gayle, who lived through erik gardener, we say this delay seems like it's suggesting that you're going to try to sweep his death under the rug because that's what you did in erik gardener when he said i can't breathe. now george floyd said i can't breathe, and you're all telling us again that you have to investigate this grand jury stuff. we're not going to allow that to happen. the witnesses are always important, but we got video, and if their stories contradict the video, then we take the video. that is the probable cause to arrest them now. and gayle king, please understand this. we want witnesses to come forward. the family wants witnesses to

come forward. just like the family is praying for peace. the family wants protesters to be peaceful. however, the people who were in charge need to have a desire and want for justice too. and that starts with simply making an arrest because you can continue your investigation. every day these officers are not arrested is like another day of injustice to this family. it's like they're killing george all over again. none of us can breathe. >> i had an interesting conversation with a 20-something young black woman. very intelligent person, highly educated. i was saying the looting is going to dilute the message. the looting is not a good idea. it's going to overshadow what's happening to george floyd. she said to me, gayle, that was back in your day, your generation. you're older. marching peacefully, holding hands, nobody pays attention to this. this is the only way that we can

get people's attention. does she have a point? i just so disagree with this thinking. >> look, gayle, i will tell you as dr. king said, protesting and rioting is the language of the unheard. and in many ways, the protests, the first protests started while george floyd was still alive. when you had a young lady who purported to be an emt asked the police 16 times, can i take his pulse? you're killing him. people saying take his knee off his neck, that was a form of peaceful protest. i do believe that the majority of the people out there are protesting are people who are trying to do it peacefully and have their voices heard. there are some instigators out there that nobody wants. george floyd family doesn't want anybody to be hurt. they want peace. they're making a plea to people for peace and to stop looting. however, they're also making a

plea, gayle, to the powers that be. arrest these murders. do your job. that is another way to get peace, because peace is more than just the absence of tension. it is the presence of justice. where is the justice for george floyd? where is the justice for a black america? all these unarmed black men especially, the open season killings and nobody being held accountable. >> ben, there's a tape circulating online about george floyd, the language is a little salty, but let's not miss the point. he's encouraging people to put down your guns and do the right thing. he seemed to be an advocate for peace. the family is asking for an independent autopsy. what are they looking for? what do they want? >> yes, ma'am. we're taking possession of the body today. and we're going to have an

independent autopsy. they do not trust law enforcement. after four days, what you see on the video, nothing has happened. so we're going to have an independent autopsy. also, we're going to make a plea for keith elleson, the minnesota attorney general to take over the investigation based on what we heard yesterday. >> all right. we talked to keith earlier today. thank you very much, ben. i know this won't be our last

♪ jerman retired in 2012 after serving as maitre d' to president and mrs. obama. this picture appears in "becoming," the bestselling memoir by michelle obama who said in a statement his willingness to go above and beyond for the country he loved and all those whose lives he touched is a legacy worthy of his generous spirit. wilson roosevelt jerman was 91. michael halkias owned an opulent catering hall in brooklyn, new york, and became famous for long-running commercials he starred in his wife, alice. >> we made your dreams come true -- >> the ads were spoofed by jimmy kimmel and "snl." >> we make your wedding look like a wedding. >> halkias met alice while managing a travel agency in

1966. married in 1967, they were also lifelong business partners. they bought the derelict hall in 1981 and spent two years renovating it. halkias loved greek culture and his family. "i was the most important wife i could be," said alice. "he always told me several times a day that he loved me." michael halkias was 82. lysa dawn robinson was a philadelphia percussionist, nicknamed lady rhythm. robinson toured with pink and played drums behind soul singer billy paul for more than a decade. ♪ he loved the way she played for him, said paul's widow, blanche williams. they were tailor made for each other. robinson's father was a guitarist with harold melvin and the blue notes. as a toddler, she started

banging on things, said her sister, dr. pamela chambers. to me, she was my little diamond. in 2012, a massive stroke left robinson paralyzed on her left side. >> lysa wants to get her face wet -- >> she worked hard to become independent again. she was very determined to just live life to the best of the hand that was dealt her, said longtime friend, singer shirley lights. she just never gave up. lysa dawn robinson was 55. yasmin pena was a high school senior at waterbury arts magnet school in connecticut. she loved to draw, dance, and sing. and for her senior showcase, performed a favorite song of her mother's. ♪

yazzy, as she was called, wanted to study fashion in college. she had everything going for her, said her sister, madeleine. so much potential. and to have it ripped away, it's just mind-boggling. yasmin pena was 18. pastor kendall pierre sr. preached at mt. zion baptist church in ama, louisiana. >> love you all. love the lord. >> he was also basketball coach for the southeast louisiana warriors. and ran a barber shop where as his wife sabrina said -- >> a lot of people got a lot of free counseling sitting in that barber chair. >> kendall and sabrina met working at mcdonald's. married in 1996 and raised three kids.

taught bible study by video. it was sabrina, a registered nurse, who later took her husband to the hospital. more than 800 cars attended the drive-through wake at mt. zion. >> god bless until we meet again. >> pastor kendall pierre pierre sr. was 45. his daughter taylor just graduated from lsu. every life lost is worth remembering. if you want us to share the story of someone close to you, please tell us. you can email coronavirus@cbsnews.com. we'll be right back.

your hair and make-up these days. how much do you really trust her? i want to see on instagram. i want to see katy with those clippers. >> you know, i think all you need to know -- we have a strong and loving marriage, but we are not doing the trust fall with cutting each other's hair. that is not going to happen, vlad. >> wow! wow. okay. okay. >> all right. are you inspired to grow your hair out after seeing people cut it at home? >> you know, i'm -- still waiting for anthony mason to give himself a buzz cut. when that happens, gayle, we've been waiting, we've been waiting. >> yes. >> wait -- you've turned it on me. it was the other way around. it was the other way around. you have to grow your hair first, and then i'll do the buzz cut. >> okay. >> i'll get myself a wig. >> i'll take that. >> all right. guys. vlad, thank you very much. ahead, some of the country's top young spellers are getting a new way to show off their skills after the scripps national spelling bee was scrubbed. >> we're all doing our part by staying at home.

that could mean an increase in energy bills. you can save by using a fan to cool off... unplugging and turning off devices when not in use... or closing your shades during the day. stay well and keep it golden.

the cancelation of the famed scripps national spelling bee over the pandemic is heartbreaking news for the students who qualified for the event. and they were ready to go. there is -- there is the only time since world war ii that the finals have been canceled. thanks to the ingenuity of two former top spellers, there is an

opportunity to shine after all this year. janet shamlian shows us how the challenge has now moved on line. janet, i love all the creativity that's coming out. good morning to you. >> reporter: and it was adorable to watch, gayle. good morning to you. it was an idea born here in the houston area from two young people who were spelling champions themselves. they knew what it was like to prepare for an event like this. only then to have it canceled. so they took it upon themselves to plan and then host a national spelling bee. and it all unfolded eed via zo. some kids it seems -- >> a-l- >> reporter: live to spell. >> c-h-i -- >> reporter: the best place to show off the talent is the annual scripps national spelling bee which this year has been canceled. >> from 2010 -- >> reporter: the news hit hard for brother and sister shobha and shourav dasari. you were in the scripps bee three times? >> i was, yes. >> reporter: and a semi finalist? >> yeah.

>> reporter: between the two of them, they reached the finals five times. the houston area teens knew it would be disappointing for this year's finalists. >> if you get all the parts right -- >> reporter: they're hosting their own national spelling bee -- >> o-m -- >> reporter: on line. >> that is correct. >> the main motivation for doing it is just to give these eighth graders the chance that they wouldn't have had to compete on scripps or some sort of like alternate path. >> reporter: the kids started spellpundit, a preparation company where the virtual competition was announced for children up to eighth grade. >> especially for eighth graders, this would have been like the last chance to compete in the national spelling bee. it's like so that their work doesn't go to a complete waste. >> s -- >> reporter: it may not be the pomp and circumstance of the national bee, but 280 students signed up. and the competition is as fierce as ever. >> may i have the definition again? >> reporter: the $2,500 first prize is a drop in the bucket compared to the $50,000 scripps

offers its winner. >> a-d-u-s-t -- >> reporter: keerthana krishnan who went to scripps last year and qualified again this year says it's not about the cash. >> we have a champion -- >> reporter: what do you like about spelling? >> it's like a puzzle. you think outside of the box to find the parts of the word and put them together. >> reporter: what are your feelings going into the virtual spelling bee? >> i feel it will be a new experience. and i feel like it will be -- it will go well. >> reporter: shobha and shourav dasari put in safeguards to keep competitors from receiving help but say they're probably not needed. are you expecting that the honors system will prevail here? >> most of these spellers are -- they understand the bee. they're very competitive about it. i don't think any of them, if they won, i don't think they'd want it because they cheated. >> your word -- >> reporter: last night the finals. >> okay.

k-h-a-r-o-s-h-t-h-i -- >> correct. >> the winner was 14-year-old navneeth murali from edison, new jersey. >> you're the champion of the 2020 spellpundit online bee. >> reporter: it may not be scripps, but it's still volcaic spelled with a capital "v." so the competition on zoom was actually broadcast on facebook. so everybody could watch it which i did. i have to say, it was just amazing to watch these kids. they really enjoyed it. they made the most of it. and when navneeth was crowned the winner, another girl said, hey, can you unmute us all so we can cheer for the champion? apparently the spelling bee world is a small one, and they all know each other. >> that's really cool. i love how intense and sincere they all are about everything they're doing. i love that the brother and sister did this. it's so great. congratulations to all of them. it's -- it must have heartbreaking when the bee, the original bee was canceled. thank you so much. we'll be right back.

before we go, a high school senior who was hospitalized more than a month ago with the coronavirus got a very special graduation ceremony. [ cheers ] doctors and nurses lined the hallway and clapped as alijah cromartie walked out of a michigan rehab facility. the 18-year-old wore a cap and gown, grinning as you see from ear to ear, when he saw his sister waiting for him. he gave her a hug and burst into tears. he told "cbs this morning" he cannot wait to reconnect with his family. boy, is that a happy ending. >> man. >> anthony, i so love the expression on his face. he just looked so proud. >> yeah. >> i'm so glad we're ending on a good note. i think we all needed that.

it's been a long and crappy week at my house. wishing you all and everybody who's watching us a great weekend. see you on monday. stay sane, stay safe. take it easy. - why choose invisalign over other aligners? - only invisalign treatment uses smarttrack technology. it moves teeth more comfortably and predictably than ordinary aligners. so i can create custom treatment plans for every smile.
