this morning and the news continues on cbsn bay area, and ♪ good morning to you our viewers in the west. and welcome to "cbs this morning." it is tuesday, march 9th, 2021. i'm gayle king. that's anthony mason. that's tony dokoupil. the cdc new guidance for fully vaccinated americans gives us a glimpse at the path back towards normalcy. our dr. david agus will break it down when it's safe. a growing crisis at the border as thousands of children arrive alone hoping for a better life in the u.s. why critics say the biden administration is unprepared and how it's responding. and the shock waves of harry and meghan's explosive

interview in britain. why it's being called the worst crisis for buckingham palace in decades. >> so far, crickets from the palace. but first -- here's "eye opener" your world in 90 seconds. >> the palace must be really scrambling today. >> meghan came out all guns blazing. >> she's given the oscar-winning performance of her life. >> reaction is pouring in all around the world. >> you continue to trash her. >> no, no -- >> see you later -- >> no, sorry. >> according to the cdc, fully vaccinated people can now gather indoors without masks in certain settings. >> people can finally start seeing what a life without a mask might look like. >> documents obtained by cbs news show a record number of unaccompanied minors flooding into the u.s. >> the humane and moral approach is to keep these kids safe. >> a judge has permanently

dismissed charges against the boyfriend of breonna taylor. accused of attempted murder of a police officer. and les miles out because of allegations at lsu. >> and all that matters -- >> harry and meghan gave their big interview to oprah. everybody's talking about that. >> apparently like 17 million people saw it. >> i am here for it. >> on "cbs this morning" -- >> and harry and meghan said that they secretly got married three days before their public wedding. a public wedding, i attended. yeah, yeah. and i've got to tell you, i want my toaster back. that was a wedding present, not a three days after the wedding present. >> this morning's eye opener is presented by progressive. making it easier to bundling insurance. >> james corden looks good, he's

lost weight. i like what his response was, harry and meghan -- >> i love we're still talking about that on day two here. >> yeah. >> i'm all years on that. we welcome you to "cbs this morning" that's where we begin there's new fallout with prince harry and meghan markle's incendiary opening. and some of the same tabloids that harry and meghan blame in part for their departure are now continuing to criticize them big time. >> prince harry's father, prince charles, was asked to respond during a visit to a vaccination center in london this morning. he declined to comment. holly williams is outside buckingham palace for us. holly, good morning to you, any response from any other royals this morning? >> reporter: good morning, well, it's been almost a day and a half since the interview aired in the u.s. 12 million people watched it on

television here last night in a country of less than -- of just under 70 million. we've still had no comment from buckingham palace but one of meghan's family members has been speaking out. >> when they decided to talk to me, i'll stop talking to the press. >> it's been seen as a real attack on the monarchy driven by your daughter and -- >> reporter: britain woke up this morning to find thomas markle on television. he's meghan's father, the same man who handed over a lter from his daughter to a british tabloid newspaper. interviewed by piers morgan, former tabloid editor. >> i think it went way over the top with these stories with oprah and should have waited. considering the queen's age. >> reporter: harry and meghan claim one factor that drove them to america in the first place was a british tabloid media. >> with that relationship and that control and the fear by the

uk tabloids, it's a really -- it's a toxic environment. >> reporter: an environment the duchess says drove her to contemplate suicide. but for the royal family the most explosive, most damaging allegation was that at least one member of the family had concerns about the color of their son's skin. >> there were several conversations about it. >> there's a conversation with you -- >> with harry. >> about how dark your baby is going to be? >> potentially, and what that would mean or look like. >> reporter: oprah says harry told her it wasn't the queen or her husband prince philip. journalist afia adam told us the accusation of racism at the very pinnacle of british society is hurtful. >> what i didn't expect for the racism to be so blatant and so ins inside -- system ic. we have this kind of racism in

britain, i shouldn't have been surprised. >> reporter: but will this bombshell interview spark a change or a debate in this country about racism and the power wielded by britain's tabloid media? the british media is reporting this morning that the royal family has been holding crisis talks, following harry and meghan's interview. anthony? >> holly williams at buckingham palace in london, thank you, holly. throughout the interview harry and meghan said the palace did not support them in their fight against what they called false stories in the tabloids. they said that if they had received support they would have remained as full-time royals. >> it was only once we were married and everything started to really worsen that i came to understand not only was i not being protected, but that they were willing to lie to protect other members of the family. but they weren't willing to tell the truth to protect me and my husband. >> let's go now to roya nikkhah who is also at buckingham

palace, she's a correspondent for the sunday times and has covered the royals for more than a decade. good morning. we have not heard from the palace in terms of a response from this interview in any form yet. what should we make of that? >> reporter: my understanding from palace sources is there's not going to be a knee-jerk reaction from buckingham palace to this. the queen, prince of wales and duke of cambridge, other senior royals are hunkered down with their aides how best to respond. they want to take their time considering the very serious allegations raised when they do respond they'll have given it an enormous amount of thought. they'll not be pushed to give out a response. it will be in their own time. >> how damaging do you think this is for the royal family? >> reporter: it's certainly a crisis. i think, you know, we've seen a difference in response in the united states and over here, this is something that's proven extremely divisive.

i think, you know, that the allegations and claims and statements that harry and meghan have made point a picture of a royal family with some areas that are very difficult with difficult things to address. but i think what we must do is wait and see what the palace come out and say. that interview, and i've watched it twice now, has thrown out a lot more questions than answers. >> roya, prince harry and meghan told oprah they were fearful of the tabloids. and talked a lot about the relationship between the royal family and the tabloids. how would you describe that relationship? >> reporter: it's interesting. i mean, i don't work for tabloid. i work for sunday times. many of my colleagues do work for tabloids. that description that harry described of members of the royal family being afraid of in order to please the tabloids. that is not something i recognize in the more than ten years i've worked on "the beat." i have to say i found that description a little bit incredible, if i'm honest.

>> so you don't think they had reason to be fearful of the tabloids? >> reporter: i have never known in my time as a correspondent any members of the royal family changing their position on things or granting more access to tabloid reporters in order to keep things away. it just doesn't work like that. >> but meghan received negative coverage from the tabloids. >> reporter: and i don't dispute that, she did but all members of the royal family have come under really heavy fire when they've joined. if you think about the duchess of cambridge, she had a lot of negative criticism. i take the point about meghan feeling there was a difference in the coverage of her and in some elements of the media, that is absolutely true. she did come under fire, you know, and a lot of it was sometimes a little close to the bone. but i think we must not just think that only meghan was targeted in ternms of tabloid coverage, that's not the case.

>> thank you. we'll have you back in the next hour to get your take on meghan and harry's allegations of racism in the 8:00 hour. 31 million people and counting have been fully vaccinated in america. and we are now getting some new guidelines from the cdc how to ease back into life. here they are. if you have been fully vaccinated you can gather in small groups indoors without wearing a mask or social distancing. and that includes gathering with unvaccinated people as long as they're low risk and from the same household. big question about travel. don't do it according to the cdc unless it is essential. they say no to any nonessential travel. as for gathering in public spaces, the cdc says you should still wear a mask and social distance in public, whether you're vaccinated or not. now, keep in mind the definition of vaccinated. you're considered fully vaccinated two weeks after your second dose of a two-shot vaccine. or two weeks after a single dose of the johnson & johnson vaccine. for more on all of this, we're joined by dr. david agus. dr. agus, good morning to you. exactly who i want to see this

morning upon a subject like this. it's a big day, one year. into the pandemic. we're now opening up a bit according to the cdc, what more do you think people need to know? >> thank you, tony. the important thing, this is data driven. and when you're vaccinated. you're exposed to the virus there's very little chance of having significant virus. 70% will have no virus at all. 30% will be asymptomatic or mildly symptomatic with a little bit of virus. and what that means is you can get together safely with other people who are vaccinated and with one other family without chance of significant viral spread. this is a major step forward, one of many that are going to have to happen to get out of this pandemic. >> why the continued no recommendation on medium to large-sized gatherings and travel if the vaccines are so effective? >> well, we're learning more, literally, as we go. i think you're going to see more

relaxations over the next couple of weeks. but what we don't know, these asymptomatic individuals when they're with larger numbers of people who are not vaccinated, do they have the ability of spreading at all. and that's what we're learning over time. and until we have that data larger gatherings are going to be restricted. travel is going to be restricted. but i think over the next several weeks we'll have that data and you'll see more allowances given. >> on a similar subject for those fully vaccinated and more and more coming into that category, why is it important for them to continue to social distance in public and wear their masks? >> again, for that exact same reason, we don't know their ability of asymptomatic spread to people who are not vaccinated. we're learning it, it's much, much lower obviously as if you haven't been vaccinated but it's probably not zero. we need to get more data from the united kingdom and from israel where there are large populations

where they can be vaccinated and studied. in the next four weeks we'll get more. this is the beginning of the next several months of slowly enabling privileges to get back to normal. >> where are you on the vaccine passport. a documentation allowing people to move more freely. do you think that's a good idea? >> 100%, that's going to have to happen. states are going to say, i don't want an unvaccinated person coming into the state. there are people who won't respond to the vaccine. i don't want to put them at risk. restaurants will say we want to have everybody vaccinated so we can have people without masks in restaurants. so yes, i think that's going to be the new normal if you want to travel, if you want to go to a public place you'll have to show that you have immunity. >> and take a look at the benefits, thank you very much. >> the trial of the fired police officer accused of killing george floyd is off to a slow start. jury selection in derek chauvin's case was delayed

yesterday while attorneys discussed a request to restore a charge of third degree murder. chauvin is already charged with second degree murder and manslaughter. hundreds of demonstrators gathered outside of the courthouse in minneapolis during the hearing. jamie yuccas is there this morning. jamie, how are authorities preparing for the possibility of any trouble? >> reporter: good morning, the national guard was brought in. and the courthouse has been completely fortified with barbed wire and concrete barriers. you even see all this fencing all around. but that didn't stop citizens from joining together and demanding reform in a system they say is broken. derek chauvin is expected to be back in court today. on monday, he actively took notes as his defense team and prosecutors debated reinstating a third degree murder charge which requires a lower standard of proof and is punishable up to 25 yea in prison. the hearing drew protesters for

the second straight day. demanding justice for george floyd. >> the whole damn system is guilty -- >> it sends the message that we're afraid of our neighbors. >> reporter: minneapolis councilmember, jeremiah ellison worries the heavy security will only inflame tensions already running high. >> i don't think it's the right move. it doesn't inspire hope. and actually a little bit of despair. >> reporter: last may, the video of chauvin kneeling on floyd's neck for nine minutes. sparked days of protests, calls for racial justice, and demands for changes in policing. neeling neck for nine minutes. >> we have been disenfranchised overpoliced, overpromised and underdelivered. >> reporter: marsha howard is a teacher and retired marine. she's one of the many residents who stands watch at the intersection where george floyd was killed. now barred off. >> it's a world that we're trying to ideaate, a world

without police. >> reporter: within days of last year's unrest, most of city council vowed to replace the police with a different public safety system. that effort stalled. you're not for defunds the police department? >> no absolutely not. we need the police. >> reporter: don samuel lived in minneapolis, the hardest hit area of the city that saw at least a 25% increase in violent crime last year according to the star tribune. >> some of the city council are not able to manage the moment, to understand that we need jur expected to return to the courthouse later this morning. >> jamie, such a volatile case. thank you very much. a judge in louisville, kentucky, has dismissed all criminal charges against breonna

taylor's boyfriend. his name is kenneth walker. walker told us back in october he thought he was shooting at an intruder and not the police. >> they knocked on the door and say who it was. dead silence. i'm a millionth percent sure that nobody identified themselves. >> prosecutors dropped the case in may after the case was widely publicize. the judge's ruling means that kenneth walker could not be charged again. >> i remember set he was worried about speaking out. he's filed a lawsuit against the police department and the city. so that's still pending. and in another twist that surprised a lot of people, the officer in the case, jonathan mattingly filed a suit against kenneth walker charging him with battery and assault. >> does that lawsuit proceed?

>> well, that's still pending. >> okay. >> but what's interesting is kenneth walker's attorney said they really don't know if kenneth walker fired the shot that hit mattingly. because a lot of shots were fired but this is gud news for walker. ahead, growing challenge for the biden administration. cbs news learned thousands of young migrants who are on their own are in custody

an official says the number of children in current border patrol custody is highest in history. to put this in perspective, more than 1500 children arrived at the border in the first four days of march alone. mr. biden was vice president in 2014 when they saw a surgech unaccompanied minors. that led to a network of government-supported shelters for minors like this one in homestead, florida, that has now reopened along with texas. we were with yaqueline and her mother miriam reunited yesterday. the 16-year-old crossed the rio grande river and was quickly picked up by border patrol agents. her mother has been in the u.s. on a work permit. the teen told us she was held in a government facility with other children sleeping on the floor with a foil blanket. families we spoke to say there is a perception right now that

the biden administration will be more lenient when it comes to children crossing into the u.s. compared to the trump administration. that might have to do with policy 42. a health in which rule that allows border patrol agents to quickly expel adults that illegal cross the border because of health concerns and the pandemic. but that is not being applied to minors right now. the recently opened shelters have been directed to increased bed space to prepandemic levels and prepare for the possibility of covid cases inside those shelters. anthony. >> a growing problem down in, mireya, thank you very much. new york state attorney general says a former prosecutor and employment lawyer will lead an investigation of governor andrew cuomo. five woman accused him of harassment including four who used to work for him. many of this fellow democrats have one of those

people at a single household as long as low risk for severe illness. however, when in public, fully vaccinated people should socially distance and of course wear your masks. >> cdc says the latest guidelines do not change recommendations limiting travel because of the presence of more contagious variants. >> every time there's a surge in travel, we have a surge in cases in this country. we know that many of our variants have emerged from international places. and we know that the travel corridor say place where people are mixing a lot. >> so far, more than 31 million americans have been fully vaccinated, according to cdc data. a senior manager at amazon who is suing the e-commerce giant for racial discrimination is speaking exclusively to "cbs this morning" in her first television interview. charlotte newman filed a federal lawsuit against amazon and two managers claiming she was underpaid, stereotyped, sexually

harassed and sexually assaulted. newman alleges it began during the hiring process in 2017 when she said she was offered a job below the pay she had applied. sitting down with the senior manager. >> reporter: charlotte newman said she's speaking out now because it's a time for change at amazon. >> it's time for amazon to act with the same obsession regularly with the same vigor which we approach our customers. >> reporter: newman who is still employed by amazon alleges the company pays her less than people with similar experience. she said she's also the victim of stereotypical racial tropes. in one instance, a co-worker told her she looked like a gorilla. and a manager called her aggressive, too direct and just

scary. >> i'm not here because it's just about me. there's a pattern of systemic discrimination. >> reporter: newman's lawsuit came shortly after vox's website recorr recode published an investigation into treatment of black employees at amazon. >> i think a lot of these positions have been festering at the company. >> reporter: senior correspondent jason dell rey said he faced harmful lies. >> there's awful experiences, one comes to mind about a bla employee who had a manager from another team tell her, just sort of unprompted, he's pretty sure his ancestors had slaves at some point but he thinks they were treated well. >> reporter: recode also reported that internal amazon data shows black corporate employees are promoted less frequently and rated more

harshly by managers than nonblack employees. in response, an amazon spokesperson told us we work hard to make amazon a company where our black employees and people of all backgrounds feel included, respects and want to grow their careers. and they do not tolerate discrimination or harassment in any form. >> amazon needs to do more than just make statements about black lives matter and statements about employees and other employees of color and have it show up in how employees are being treated. >> reporter: newman says for her it went beyond unfair racial discrimination. in the lawsuit she said management engaged in repeated sexual harassment, including incidents of unwelcome touching and sexual assault. she said she was groped by a manager at a work function. >> he put his hand on my thigh and moved and caressed my thigh and moved up my leg.

and i froze and was just completely embarrassed and just stunned at, like, such a brazen act. you know, all of the time spent ensuring that i'm coming into work and being a professional, just had me reduced to that it was very difficult. >> reporter: the alleged incident happened in 2018, but newman says she did not report it until last year. she told us, she confronted her manager. >> i understand he understood the gravity of what had happened in some ways but i also think because he chose to put his hands on me again, clearly, you know -- but to me, he demonstrated he's a predator. >> reporter: what happened the second time? >> i was again at a work -- with colleagues, this was at an off-site. i was getting ready to leave. and he grabbed my braids and he made like an off hand comment at about like you can leave these

here. >> why did you decide to stay at amazon? >> well, i think all too often, the brunt of sexual harassment, discrimination, it falls on the victim. and i felt why should i be the one to leave one of the biggest, fastest growing companies in the world. >> reporter: an amazon spokesperson told cbs news we do not tolerate discrimination or harassment of any kind. we immediately investigated miss newman's sexual harassment claim and fired her harasser. they added we also reviewed miss newman's interview process leveling and onboarding and determined that she was properly placed in her role at the company. can things get bet at amazon for you? >> i hope they get better for all employees. i was thinking about a quote by coretta scott king that essentially says that struggle never ends, you constantly fight for freedom. and that every generation

essentially has to do that. >> that was our colleague michelle miller reporting. we do have a bit more from amazon. a spokesperson tells cbs news, the investigation into newman's alleged sexual harassment resulted in additional training requirements for those in her reporting line. they're also investigating the new allegations in her lawsuit, they say. and they say they set a number of targets company wide, telling us they doubled representation of black managers and presidents and last year continued to do the same in 2021. >> i say bravo to ms. newman, anc a., raising the issues, b. for change. people have to hear you. >> as she said, why should i be the one to leave. >> exactly right. it's difficult to have somebody at the company say my family had slaves whatever you said. they were treated well. i lost a little hearing after that. ahead, the british public

know, in some ways it is, because when you go into that type of thing, with your family, you're expected to get some criticism and so forth from the press. the palace have their protocols and their -- and their guidelines and their historical things to follow. and you've got to respect that. >> did you think that tabloids went too far with meghan? >> yeah, yeah. i think the racist angle. i think a big part of it is american xenophobia. >> doll you think race played a role? >> no. i just know. i just don't think so. if there's one thing, you can't accuse the royal family of any race issues, can you? >> why not? >> when have you ever heard of anybody saying, oh, the palace are racist or something like that? no, for me, the royal family can't do anything wrong.

>> i definitely think probably race played some sort of role in the way she has been kind of discriminated amongst -- you know, we can all see that. being part of the public. >> well, those are some reactions there from people in london where oprah's interview withaired for the first time. roya nikkhah is a correspondent at buckingham palace. roya, i was looking forward to talking to you. we just saw prince charles being stopped at an event and a reporter very bravely asked him what did you think of the interview? of course, he's not going to answer, because if he's going to answer he's not going to answer on the fly like that. he looked at her and kept on walking. in the las ticking.

i imagine in the next 24 hours we'll get a response of some sort from buckingham palace. >> one of the comments, jaw-dropping were the comments about the race. there were some concerns about some members of the royal family who won't be named about the color of the baby's skin. do those comments surprise you? >> reporter: i have to say, yes, they did. and i do not detract from the seriousness of those claims. i can't imagine what that must have felt like for meghan and harry. the and because harry wants to protect the member of the royal family, there's a witch hunt here, and the whole royal family fall under suspicion in terms of the race issue. there's no doubt that's a very

serious allegation and something that buckingham palace want to take extremely seriously and to address, i'm sure, when they hear the response. >> i keep hearing people say, they should name, they should name, wouldn't it be more damaging if they named the person involved? >> reporter: i think that won't form part of buckingham palace's response. i think those are things discussed within the family, by the family. i don't think we're going to have names named by buckingham palace. i think there will be wider themes that have emerged from that interview that they'll address and possibly on a few things. >> roya, one of the things that struck me in the interview, harry directly said he was hurt by his father. he avoided getting into discussion about this brother. and his grandmother and grandfather -- he was complimentary of the queen. he made a point of saying his father had stopped taking his

calls and how hurt he was by the way his father had handled things. >> he said he'd been let down. >> yeah that he'd been let down. i wonder if you think that is going to affect the relationship? >> reporter: i know the prince of wales is devastated by those comments. and they are, of course, on speaking terms again, harry says. but those comments, no doubt, i think will change the nature of harry's relationship for the prince of wales and his father and the family. and you said he was complimentary of her majesty, the queen. yes, he was. in the extra clips that you aired yesterday, harry did put his grandmother in the firing range as well saying she refused to meet him at sandringham, and when you make the statements about the royal family. the queen is head of the that family, you're taking seing pot

at the queen as well. >> i don't think he necessarily sees it that way. but i hear your point. i wonder how you think it's perceived here in the united states for the most part, they're getting positive reviews if you can characterize it that way. we just saw in the uk the people appear divided. how do you explain the differences on how it's perceived in both places? >> reporter: i think there's the whole issue of the fact that harry and meghan have, you know, gone to the united states for a different kind of life. and to be honest, many british people respected that decision and wished them well. we were sad to see them go because harry and meghan together were a great couple and brought fresh air for the monarchy. i think america likes them and delighted to have them. it's interesting i just saw the results of the polls which shows young people actually support harry and meghan doing that interview and the shoulder people are squarely behind the monarchy now. >> thank you. there's certainly more to come,
