kamala harris cast the deciding vote just to have the senate consider the covid-19 relief bill. >> the senate being equally divided, the vice president votes in the affirmative. >> reporter: pope francis begins an historic visit to iraq. >> reporter: he hopes to reasassure chrisistians persrse by the islslamic statete. > all that - -- >> in oprah winfrey's exclusive interview, prince harry's wife meghan accuses the palace of spreading lies about them. and all that matters -- >> zimmerman got on top of that one. that one is a home run. >> check out the fan who thought he caught the home run ball, only one problem -- he dropped it. then he checks his glove like, aw, man. >> he didn't catchch it. he was close. it's spring training. >> on "cbs this morning." >> a group of great apes at the san diego zoo have begun the very first non-humans to get the covid vaccine shot. >> it goes health care workers, the elderly, people with underlying conditions, apes, then you.

right after teachers, children, people who don't want it, everyone who became elderly while you were waiting, then all your friends. then you. so just be patient. >> this morning's "eye opener" is presented by progressive -- making it easy to bundle insurance. >> it's felt like that. >> i was going to say it must feel like that to many, many people waiting and want it. >> can confirm, gayle. >> yes. yes. i offer exhibit a. we're going to talk to trevor noah later in this broadcast. he's talking about the grammys. he is on fire these days. >> we want you welcome you to "cbs this morning," we have so much to discuss starting with this -- one of the women accusing new york governor andrew cuomo of sexual harassment is speaking on camera for the first time. charlotte bennett spoke exclusively to "cbs evening news" anchor and managing editor norah o'donnell. she describes deeply uncomfortable conversations with the governor in which she says

it became clear to her that he was trying to sleep with her. >> governor cuomo faces an inquiry and calls to resign over this, along with allegations from two additional women and other controversies. he's apologized for the behavior that he says was unintentional. but he also says he will not step down. for more on all this let's bring in norah o'donnell from washington. norah, good morning to you. this was a very frank, very direct interview. >> reporter: it really was. good morning. you know, a lifelong new yorker, charlotte bennett began working as an entry-level assistant to governor andrew cuomo in january, 2019. she called it a dream job. when cuomo became a celebrity for his handling of the pandemic, bennett says the attention emboldened him. and she alleges he began sexually harassing her. looking back on all of this, how would you describe governor cuomo? >> he is a textbook abuser. he lets his temper and his anger rule the office, but he was very

sweet to me for a year in the hopes that maybe one day when he came on to me i would think we were friends, or that it was appropriate. or that it was okay. >> reporter: bennett says their professional relationship took a turn on may 15th when she alleges the governor started asking her about her love life and became fixated, repeating over and over again her history as a sexual assault survivor. >> so he goes, you were raped, you were raped, you were raped and abused and assaulted. >> reporter: why do you think he was fixated on you as a survivor of sexual assault? >> i think it's really strategic. i think abusers look for vulnerabilities, previous traumas, the idea that maybe i'm more willing to accept behavior

because i have a history of sexual violence. perhaps i'm not as confident in myself because of my history. >> reporter: you think he knew that? >> yeah. >> reporter: you think he was grooming you? >> yeah. >> reporter: and bennett says on june 5th, governor cuomo crossed a line. >> he wanted a girlfriend. when he said he was lonely, i mentioned that his daughters had been around, and he also rejected that and said, yeah, i love my daughters, but that's -- i want a girlfriend. >> reporter: bennett says he asked whether she'd ever been with an older man. what were you thinking as he's asking you these questions? >> i thought, he's trying to sleep with me. the governor's trying to sleep with me. and i'm deeply uncomfortable, and i have to get out of this room as soon as possible. >> reporter: to be clear, what

made you think that he was trying to sleep with you? >> without explicitly saying it, he -- he implied to me that i was old enough for him, and he was lonely. >> reporter: as you left work on june 5th, what were you thinking? >> i was trying not to cry. i assumed that i could no longer work for him. >> reporter: had to get out of this job? >> i'm not doing that again. i'm not engaging in that conversation or any other conversation and i'm not putting myself in a position where he physically comes on to me. it stops here. that's it. >> reporter: but then you get called back into the office the next day. saturday, june 6th. and you've never talked about this before. >> no. >> reporter: bennett says at one point on that saturday she was the only employee working with the governor in his private office. >> i was terrified. i was shaking.

i thought any moment something can happen, and i have no power here. >> reporter: what happens when you're with the governor? >> he asked me a few questions about how to use his iphone and then sends me back to wait and then finally he calls me in and he asks if i found him a girlfriend yet. >> reporter: he asked you again. >> yes. i said, not yet. i said i was working on it. >> reporter: governor cuomo said in a statement on sunday that he was just being playful. was it playful? >> no. >> reporter: he says he was joking. >> i wasn't laughing. and he wasn't laughing. >> reporter: how do you respond to viewers who may doubt your story? >> it's hard enough sharing this story when it's true. i can't imagine what it would be like to sit here and tell you lies. i don't know who would do that. i couldn't make this up. and also, i loved my job.

like i really looked up to him. i looked up to the governor. he was my mentor. i really did see it that way. >> reporter: we reached out to governor cuomo's office to respond to charlotte bennett's claims, and they directed us to the governor's apology on wednesday where he said he never knew at the time that he was making anyone uncomfortable. he asked people to wait for the results of the state attorney general's investigation, and we're going to have more news from our interview with bennett. that's going to be tonight on the "cbs evening news." >> this is just a devastating interview. does charlotte bennett think the governor should face consequences? >> reporter: it's interesting. she said that she wants the governor to start telling the truth. she says if the investigation finds that he conducted himself in an inappropriate way, then he should step down. and then in perhaps some grace, she says that he does have the ability to rehabilitate himself and do the emotional work necessary to become a better person. but we've also seen what she calls this corroborating evidence, these are text

messages that she sent to friends at the time that describe her state of mind after those encounters. >> the governor isn't just facing sexual harassment allegations. new this morning, "the wall street journal" and the york times are both reporting some of cuomo's top aides altered a july, 2020, report to undercount the number of nursing home residents who died of covid. the report that was released to the public was undercounted by thousands of deaths. norah, why is this significant? >> i think it's significant because governor cuomo is from a storied political family. he wrote a book on leadership lessons. he was praised for his handling of the covid crisis. now we're learning what was happening behind the scenes. the allegations from charlotte bennett. the allegations and the investigation centered on what are the efforts to obscure the number of nursing home deaths. and so all of this now we're just getting a glimpse of really as they pull back the curtain, the reporting and the investigation, what was really happening behind the scenes.

>> all right, norah, thank you. and as norah said, you can see more of the interview tonight on the "cbs evening news." just a short time ago, pope francis arrived in baghdad for the first-ever papal visit to that country. it's a scheduled four-day trip. a very public show of support for the local christian community suffering under attacks from islamic militants. the timing is controversial. covid infections are rising in iraq, and there are concerns over the country's security. chris livesay is traveling with pope francis. ♪ >> reporter: it's a trip 2,000 years in the making. the first time in hope in the history of christianity has set foot in the birthplace of abraham of the old testament. coming as a pilgrim of peace, wasting no time since getting vaccinated last month to visit one of the most ancient and beleaguered christian communities on earth. decades of war and terrorism have squeezed them into the

margins, says archbishop ashar of erbil. >> bombing churches, kidnapping and killing bishop and priests and christians because they are christians, that's religiously motivated. >> reporter: the town of qaraqosh, historically christian, was sacked by militants in 2014 and retaken by iraqi forces in 2016. today christian refugees are returning and rebuilding and preparing for the pope's visit on sunday. pope francis has insisted on coming here despite the many challenges and the many people who didn't want him to, says this christian from qaraqosh. throughout iraq, isis and other threats have hardly disappeared. this past wednesday, ten rockets slammed into an airbase leaving one u.s. contractor dead. the latest in an uptick in violence from militia and terror groups. even deadlier, the coronavirus pandemic. iraq now averaging 4,000 new

cases daily, with triple the infefections in ththe past mont. in a countntry with hospititalst threadbare by decades of unrest and ill equipped to cope with what some some fear could be superspreader events. judging from past papal trips abroad, iraqi and vatican authorities insist covid safety measures will be strictly enforced and note that pope francis and his entourage have also been inoculated. but the throngs of iraqis expected to crowd at his masses, speeches, and prayers have not. aboard the papal plane, pope francis thanked me and the other journalists for coming with him and said how happy he was to be able to travel again. next up he's meeting with the president and prime minister for for his expected to bring up religious freedom. tony? >> chris livesay for us, reporting from iraq. thank you very much. the senate is debating president biden's ambitious covid economic relief package today. that's despite a stalling tactic by republican senator ron johnson of wisconsin. he demanded that the entire

628-page bill be read aloud. that took nearly 11 hours. a tie-breaking vote from vice president harris paved the way for that debate. the bill has now shrunken slightly from $1.87 trillion with a "t" dollars but includes $1,400 stimulus checks for most americans. republicans are still saying the bill is too big and unfocused. in britain this morning, prince harry and meghan markle are taking more flack for their interview with oprah. it airs this sunday on cbs. they say that the press was one of the driving forces behind their decision to leave for the united states. the royal family has relied on the media for generations to shore up support. holly williams is in london with how this interview is likely to be received in britain. we've all been watching here, and it doesn't seem like it's being well received so far. good morning to you. >> reporter: good morning. wll, the british tabloids seem to have their knives out for meghan again. and with buckingham palace investigating bullying

allegations against the duchess, it's looking more and more like an all-out war between harry and meghan on one side and the palace on the other. >> thehe timingg of ththe coupl interview was described as unfortunate. >> god. it's just -- it's crass beyond belief. >> reporter: some in britain say the interview is tone deaf. i d want or think they're going to gain out of it. >> reporter: with harry's grandfather in the hospital and a deadly pandemic raging -- >> how do you feel about the palace hearing you speak your truth today? >> reporter: the couple are revealing all aboutut leaving royayal life behind. >> i i don't knonow how they co expect thatt after a all off th time we would still just be silent if there's an active role that the firm is playing. >> reporter: gina yashere is a british comedian based in los angeles who told us the criticism is yet another example of british racism. more subtle, she says, than the

american variety. >> she wouldn't be doing this interview with oprah, they wouldn't be in california if not for the -- the way they were reported, the way that they were harassed and harangued while they were performing their royal duties. >> reporter: there was joy when harry married his beautiful, charismatic bride, but a recent opinion poll found only 32% of the british public viewed meghan favorably. >> she was -- >> reporter: journalist ayesha hazarika told us the ambitious, self-confident and outspoken american horrified the british establishment. >> british culture is still incredibly socially conservative. and the british tabloids and british sort of polite society, they like to see women in the royal family kind of seen but not heard. >> reporter: and that's a game the duche prince

andrew, former friend of jeffrey epstein. gayle? >> holly williams in london. thank you very much. i do think that that's a very interesting observation. a lot of people noticed. it's sort of been crickets when it comes to prince andrew. they're talking about alleged misbehavior, mean-girl behavior from meghan, that was first raised in 2018 and there wasn't an investigation. and now right before the interview, there's -- >> suddenly they're investigating. >> interesting hearing her refer to the royal family as "the firm" which you don't hear publicly. other people say that but not members of the family. >> i think, too, they did the interview three weeks ago before prince philip was in the hospital. all of this happened before then. i think that's important, while they're being blamed for appearing to be insensitive. >> but buckingham palace is clearly concerned about it and seems to be trying to disrupt that even before it airs. >> well, speaking of before it

airs, in our next hour, we have an exclusive first look at oprah's revealing interview with meghan markle, and you can watch oprah and meghan and harry, the cbs prime time special sunday at 8:00, 7:00 central on cbs.

nation to get the j&j vaccine and actually put it to use. for them it's like an added tool in the toolbox along with pfizer and moderna. then we drove about 4 1/2 hours south into rural kentucky to see how j&j is helping a 25-bed hospital. welcome to russell county, kentucky, population about 12,000. its largest town is russell springs, that's about two hours south of lexington and about two hours north of nashville. the only hospital for miles is the russell county hospital. >> we're not kidding when we say this is rural america. paint the picture for us. >> the things you take for granted going to the corner store or to a big-box store we're driving 30, 40, 50 miles. >> reporter: meet patrick braco. the hospital was sent enough vaccines to vaccinate about 200 people.

>> they stopped sending moderna vaccine or pfizer out to the small rural communities because they would rather get large groups of people. my most vulnerable population in our rural setting have a difficult time getting access to the distribution sites located in the urban centers of the state. >> reporter: and that's why this was a big deal. yesterday he and his team received 200 vials of the johnson & johnson vaccine which can be stored in a regular refrigerator. >> when they said you're going to get 200 doses on wednesday, and two or three weeks, you're going to get on a regular cycle of getting 200 doses every week. >> reporter: that's huge. >> i can start to address this entire county. >> reporter: well, the work started right away. in fact, a shipment arrived early. and at a rural hospital, everybody's got to pitch in. lab director lois moore took the lead. >> could you be here at 10:45 this morning? >> kassie hadley worked the phones lining up patients. miss alberta thomas was already on the list. and she was out the door early. this 90-year-old specifically wanted j&j's vaccine because she

knew it would be one and she's done. she hopped out of that car at the hospital, but she didn't want to go inside. so she sat out in the meditation garden, and they went to her. >> hi there. >> you better stick me. >> i am going to stick you. >> all righty. >> reporter: there in the kentucky sun -- >> that is it. >> reporter: it was done. >> i hope it means that i never will have to have covid again. i had it. >> reporter: how bad was it? >> the covid itself wasn't that bad, but the after effects, oh, man, i have never known tiredness or weakness. i mean, it was a case of shall i sit here and starve, or shall i actually walk to the refrigerator. >> reporter: wow, it that was bad? >> it was that bad. >> reporter: hearing a 90-year-old lady talk about suffering with covid like that is partly why the hospital ceo is so thankful to have j&j here. >> johnson & johnson has brought a product to our community that's easier to administer,

easier to store, easier to get into the arms. >> reporter: and all three of those things for a rural, really rural hospital like you, means what? >> it means we don't leave people behind. and that's my biggest concern. >> reporter: kentucky's health department tells cbs news the state is working diligently to expand vaccines throughout the entire state and it has increased distribution to both rural and urban areas. it's important to know kentucky is sending about 100 doses every week to the russell county health department so it's not just the hospital. and ms. alberta thomas, she is 90 years old and she had 14 kids. >> wow. >> wow. >> david begnaud -- >> she wanted quite a picture, david and she did not want to go in the hospital. i like how you said she hopped out but refused to go in. >> she said i'm not going in, i'll sit here and you come to me. at 90 years old you can order people around like that. >> and tell people to stick you.

>> if we all make it to 90. >> going where the big box store aren't. >> good to see you in the flesh. >> we are practicing social distancing with you too. >> i hadn't seen my face on camera other than about three times in a whole year. it happened, right? >> i'll bet. >> so -- >> you can save and clip it, that's what they're doing with nba clips, apparently. coming up a fast growing new basketball craze while some fans are spending upwards of $100,000, or more, to own highlights that you can watch for free on the internet. we will explain. be right back. >> will we? ♪and yet for every big idea that rose to wild acclaim♪ ♪there are so many more, that never found their fame.♪ ♪and some might seem bizarre to you,♪ ♪and some are only for a few...♪ ♪but many are small businesses that simply lack the tool♪ ♪to find excited people who will stop and say 'that's cool'♪

of what this can be. >> reporter: here's how it works. players, investors and collectors can buy and sell moments or highlights along with other users, but rather than owning a physical item, you own a digital one. it's a new take on the old-school trading card. even nba team owners are getting in on the fun. >> it took me a while to get over the hurdle of physical versus digital, you know, but then once you start buying them and playing with them, then you realize, okay, i have the sense of ownership. >> reporter: and the numbers are eye popping. nearly $300 million in sales this year just like with any collectible, the more rare the item, the higher the value. but values are quickly skyrocketing. despite most moments selling for under $50, it's common to find them in the thousands or higher. is this built for collectors or investors? >> i think it's built for collectors, but it's being dominated by investors in the early days here. it's just a challenge right now

for new participants to come in there and be able to afford it. ? pretty much across the board. >> reporter: it's a challenge roham gharegozlou is trying to tackle. she's the ceo of dapper labs, a cryptocurrency company that runs "top shot." do you worry about pricing out the average collector? >> we do. i mean, we spend a lot of time making sure the product is accessible to everybody. the cheapest packs are $9. and so they -- they have a great opportunity to get something cool and be able to sort of reinvest that into the ecosystem. >> reporter: since the start of the year, the number of collectors has jumped more than 20 times, 495,000 users and climbing. we asked him why nearly half a million people are jumping in to buy something so easily accessible at no cost. what do you tell the naysayers who say i can go on youtube and watch that clip, and it doesn't cost me anything? or i can go on twitter and instagram? >> look, collecting isn't for everybody.

you can google a photo of a player, you can google a photo of this card right now, it doesn't mean you own it. doesn't mean you can sell it. you can google a photo of the mona lisa. you can even print it out and put it on your wall. it doesn't mean it's the real thing. more people enjoying that moment and more people knowing and sort of being a fan of that moment in history makes your original of that moment more valuable. >> reporter: the site has become big in digital investing circles. but with all the money comes risk. >> there's no guarantee that this isn't a bubble that will pop in a few weeks or months. >> reporter: daniel roberts is a sports and finance expert who believes the digital gold rush is here to stay but that investors in "top shot" should be careful. is there any worry that this may be the next gamestop and we're just all unaware that we're all just a joke? >> depends who you ask, right? absolutely there are people who will tell you that "top shot" is an obvious bubble. the prices and the market have surged and exploded so quickly

that it does raise some red flags for people. i wouldn't advise any friend to suddenly put a bunch of money into this unless you're willing to lose it. but there are also people trading top shots that are just young nba fans. and i don't think they're doing it as an investment in their portfolio. they're doing it because they're fun to be able to share it on social and say look at my moment, i own this. >> reporter: for "cbs this morning," omar villafranca, dallas. >> reminds me a little of oceanfront property for sale in arizona. >> yeah. >> well, i -- i can see -- >> i don't understand, guys, how you're going to pay that for something you can get online. >> i can see wanting to own a little library of great plays by my favorite players in high resolution. i can see that. but investing? that's another thing. up next, vlad duthiers has the stories you will be talking about today. >>

water distribution system. there is no clear timeline for when water service will be restored. >> that's the most egregious line that there's still no timeline for when it will be restored. can we all agree if it was greenwich, connecticut, or beverly hills, california, they would not be sitting here saying we don't have water three weeks later. it's disgraceful. how is that in the united states of america? >> the capital state city of the state -- >> there are infrastructure problems, but they've been neglected for years. this is the result. you heard in sham janet shamlia reporting this week she profiled a young mother who was pregnant and unable to have access to clean water. that's where we are in the united states of america. all right. here's another interesting story -- some apes in california, you heard trevor noah talking about this earlier, they're reducing their risk of getting the coronavirus vaccine or actually getting coronavirus. so the orangutans and bonobos at san diego zoo got experimental shots last month designed especially for animals, folks.

they are not for humans. they're the first non-humans to be vaccinated. in january, eight gorillas at the zoo tested positive for the virus. experts feared the endangered gorilla population could be threatened even if more are not innoculated. other zoos in the u.s. are requesting for the vaccine. they want their own ape populations to be vaccinated. the cdc says there is a low risk for covid to spread from animals to humans and vice-versa. i know you said it's not for humans -- >> you did. >> it's not. >> we saw a case of a young person dressing as an old person to get the shot. might put on the orangutan costume -- >> could happen. >> if you were a lhuman and saw the gorilla getting it -- >> move the gorilla out of line. >> it is for animals. >> it's for animals. >> they don't have to ask the gorillas for proof. >> that's right. some people are using a new covid test to let out their pandemic rage. watch.

because the big question, how did they leave, why did they happen, did something happen, what is it all about, to give them the opportunity in their own words to speak their own truth about what went into their decision, and i think by the time the interview is over, people will have a very clear understanding about what went into their thought process. i believe that that will be the case and then people can make up their own minds because vilified is the word of what happened to harry and meghan in particular. when i heard oprah say, it is best i asked her what do you mean by that? she said, it isn't just me to have people at that level going through it, so to speak, to answer -- to agree to a, you can ask me anything you want to ask, they answered every question, 99.999 and any questions that they didn't answer they explained why they didn't answer so you get a sense of that. there wasn't any jujitsu bobbing and weaving and trying to decide. i think it is going to be very interesting for people to see. >> i can't imagine living under

this this week's 48 hours investigates the killing of a top ranked ufc's stepdaughter.

aniah was last seen at an alabama gas station. and her alleged killer was a man with a long arrest record out on bond. now her parents, who had to wait weeks to learn aniah's fate, are fighting for justice. james brown spoke with the family. >> reporter: these are the last images of aniah, at a gas station at auburn near her apartment. >> just the worst feeling ever. >> reporter: aniah's father and her stepfather, ufc fighter walt harris, were frantic. >> we drove my truck in backwoods. we were hauling people's yards. >> reporter: her car was found 50 miles away. a blood soaked passenger seat and a bullet hole in the door tell the story of what happened that night. >> so traumatizing to think of what she went through.

>> reporter: authorities believe she ran into this man when she stopped into the gas station. he has a lengthy arrest record and he had been charged earlier that year with robbing and beating two people. in spite of those serious charges, yazeed was free on bond. >> how is this person free to walk into a gas station? how is he in the same gas station as my best friend? >> reporter: the harris' for committed to facing yazeed whenever he appeared in court. >> you see him looking back at you guys. walt? >> i remember shaking. i wanted to chime across the barricade. >> reporter: it took all of walt's training in the wind and angela's steady hand to keep him from ripping into yazeed. >> she grabbed me and she said

just breathe. >> reporter: angela, how did you stay composed? >> i wanted him to know that i'm representing my daughter. you don't scare me and that i'm not going anywhere. we're right here. we will represent our daughter and we're going to fight. >> james brown is here with us right now. what actions are the harris family taking now? >> right now there is broad political and legislative support for aniah's law, which the mom has been fighting for. it has passed the state house. it goes now to the senate and if it does it will go to a public vote to keep violent offenders off the streets. >> this is the kind of thing that rips through the family and rips through people's lives. how will it affect the career of walt harris, do you think? >> you use the words rip through, and that's exactly what's happening.

we can only imaging what the family was thinking. walt quit fighting once the tragedy took place. but two things happened. one, he knew that aniah was his biggest fan. he recently had a dream where she hugged aim and encouraged him to get back into the ring, which he did recently and is going to continue his career, but you can only imagine what's happening with that, especially in a tough sport like that. agai. thank you so much. you can see j.b.'s report "fighting for aniah" on "48 hours" tomorrow at 10:00, 9:00 central on cbs. >> i still remember that story. and i think it must be so haunting for the family to see the last video of her in the store where she meets the man who ultimately took her life. it's -- it's heartbreaking to see. >> for walt to sit in the courtroom though and be still, knowing what happened -- >> exactly. thinking about them. ahead in a new series on "cbs this morning," we're going to talk about how the pandemic is affecting women in the work

force. why a majority of women feel that they need to lower their career expectations. we've got some ideas on how to change that when we come back.

every friday during women's history month, we're looking at how the pandemic is affecting women and work. this week we're focusing on the more than -- sorry, 67 million impeach who will are currently employ -- women who are currently employed in the u.s. 70% of working women feel they need to lower their career expectations and rethink the progress they once thought possible. karisma jay has fought hard just to keep her brooklyn, new york, dance studio open in the pandemic. she pivoted to online classes and cut her staff's pay. >> five, six, cent r, century, - >> when i wanted to open this

establishment, i wanted it to be a safe space where we could help people access their biggest dreams. we would sell out, and we were putting on shows at kings theater, off broadway. >> when the coronavirus shut down new york city last march, karisma jay's dance studio lost more than half its business. >> you know, stat, pivot, we've known the name of that step. this pandemic has made me pivot in ways that no jazz dance class could teach. >> she turned to teaching classes on zoom. >> good morning. we managed to flip on a dime and go virtual. as an institution while others were not. >> rent was still due so jay had to make a difficult decision. >> i had to ask our teachers if they would be okay with taking a pay cut. and it was significant. by at least 15%, 20%. it's heartbreaking. i let myself cry.

so i was feeling like we're not going to be able to sustain as a non-provinit for-profit world. our adult clients, we're going to close. the parents didn't let me. the majority of them basically committed to paying tuition. >> despite community support, jay's classes are not back to pre-pandemic class sizes. and she's now two months behind on the studio's rent. >> left, right -- it's just grace and mercy at this point that when i put the key in the door, it still turns that door open, you know. when i turn the lights on, they come on actually. and i can definitely attest that to the community. >> yeah. so many people surviving on grace and mercy right now. first on "cbs this morning," linkedin is revealing new data about how the pandemic is affecting women in the work force. as part of their "conversations for change" series. caroline fairchild is editor at large of linkedin's global news team. thanks for being here. good morning. > good morning.

>> as we heard karisma jay saying, so many women have had to pivot during this pandemic. how can employers help working women right now? what can they do? >> so the pandemic has exacerbated tensions and biases that working women. well before this crisis. what we're seeing through the survey of working women is that 60% of women are feeling like they have to downplay their career aspects right now. in terms of what employers can do, we need to make remote work right now work for working women. so many women right now are thrown into remote work in march when this pandemic began. and it's just not working. there's no sustainable policies in place. it can be small things. managers can say, look, here are the working hours we expect you to answer emails. don't be a manager who sends emails to employees at 1:00 a.m. small things can go a long way. i think what we've to stress is this isn't about fixing women. it's about fixing companies, fixing workplaces that don't work for women. >> one-third of women apparently say they are not feeling

supported by their companies at this point. what kinds of conversations should be happening? >> right. that tells us that despite the struggles that women are facing at home, there's still this stigma, the stigma that you can't feel you can talk about with your manager what you're facing at home. and the pandemic has made all of that worse. that's honestly why we launched "conversations for change." we want to make sure employers are talking with managers. survey data shows it's simply talking about the challenges you're facing with your manager can go a long way to feeling supported and make it feel like they don't have to be less ambitious with their careers. >> a lot of women have taken a pay cut or reduced hours to keep their jobs. what advice do you have for them? that's one. and number two, what role should or can men play in this? if you could answer both of those. >> absolutely, gayle i. i'm glad you broke that up. so many women took a pay cut during the pandemic. prior the pandemic women were less likely to ask for a raise. we're at a point in the economic

wheelchair for a short distance. she might walk a little depending on how she feels. she has a new pair of sneakers for the event. she was born just in 1903. that's just seven years after the first modern olympics in athens, greece, in 1896. she worked in the family's store until she was 103. she lived through two world wars, the spanish flu, to she's been through two pandemics. her son says i don't remember her talking about that the past very much. she's very forward thinking. >> to quote that great philosopher tiffany haddish, she ready. she got new sneakers, i love that story. >> cheering you on. >> yes, we are. >> all right, i have got some more collectible news out there. we're talking about the nba top shot collectibles earlier. there is memorabilia from the beatles that may be worth less today than it was just a few days ago. apparently the fab four took turns signing things for fans, so they were faking each other's

autographs. that's according to music guru jules holland who knew the beatles quite well. he said george harrison told him when the beatles started, they would have to sign thousands of autographs for fans and so they would all practice and know how to do each other's signatures. now, anthony, i think you knew this, right? >> i didn't know that part. i can't say it surprises me given how insane beatle mania was and i was a kid at the time and would have killed to get all four of those autographs. but they were -- you know, they expl exploded, here and in england. >> if you had one person faking all four signatures, that would alter the value, but potentially make it more valuable. >> that's a tough one. if you're buying four -- if you get all four beatles signature oz on an album or something, that's worth quite a bit of money. they didn't often sign all things together. >> last year a couple -- sergeant pepper's lonely heart clubs band, who didn't love that

album, that sold. i'm last, i've been saving this one. a golden retriever, has become a social meet mdia hit for a clev trick. got to watch it in full. the owner leaves a treat in front of the dog and says don't eat it and the owner leaves the room. watch this dog after making sure the coast is clear, the dog eats the snack, but don't worry, this dog has a plan. watch him go grab a second treat and replace the one he just ate, covering his tracks, he puts it back on the table. but, wait, it gets better. he realizes he left the drawer open, goes back and closes it before the owner -- >> i love how he maintains the pose. >> and then the owner comes back in and says, good, good, good. good boy, good girl. and gives him the treat. this video has been seen more than 4 million views. dr. phil sent this to me recently and said if you need a laugh for the day, need a laugh for the day, you should show this video.

artist, nine nominations and six a piece for taylor swift, du'a lipa and roddy rich. gayle was so excited i was able to say du'a lipa's name correctly. which song among them do you most enjoy singing along to? >> i think i might sing du'a lipa the most. that's the song i sing most of the time in the shower, "don't start now," to get me going in the morning. >> you can't listen to her music without getting out of your seat. are the actual artists going to be there? can you say? i know you said -- >> yes, people will be there, accepting awards, the people -- i promise you, it is like nothing you've ever seen, which is why i was so excited to do it. i got the call, they were, like, do you want to do the grammys? i'm, like, at my house? i don't want to do at my house. they're, like, no, we're actually doing the grammys. i'm, like, i'm in. >> have you offered the song stylings of trevor noah to the grammy folks?

raid in 1965, he defied orders to move back and instead helped rescue wounded soldiers. his commanders nominated him for the award, but his paperwork was seemingly lost, mysteriously so. senator cotton of arkansas, also a combat veteran, wrote to the secretary of defense saying that davis' tragedy -- this is a tragedy that must be remedireme in his words, and that recognition of his courage is long overdue. davis recently told our catherine herridge what the honor would mean to him. >> reporter: if you were to receive the medal of honor 55 years later, what would it mean to you, paris davis? >> it would mean all the things that i haven't been able to dream about. it's a place or a song that i would hope somebody would write. >> heroism was well documented in the '60s and continues to be

evidence that's easy to find. davis' nomination is now progressing. and what ultimately happens with it depends on defense secretary lloyd austin and president biden. remember, some of the men he save read still alive today. >> well document exactly right. there is testimony still to what he did. >> something tells me they're going to make it right. >> i hope so. moving the right direction. >> 55 years later. before we go we'll look back at all that mattered this week. we'll be right back. ♪
