insurance. >> yes, we know dogs need a little time, they say, to adjust. >> new house, new situation. >> except if you're the person who got bit, you might have other feelings about that. >> that is true. that is true. i think he's a good boy though, major. i hope to see him back in the white house soon. >> i think that will happen too. welcome to "cbs this morning." we will begin with congress set to pass the giant coronavirus relief package in the next few hours, debate on the $1.9 trillion resumed just a short time ago. it includes a larger child tax credit and other measures intended to give a long-term boost to low-income americans. nicole kilian is on capitol hill for us. good morning to you. there are a lot of people waiting for this bill and a lot in it for a lot of different kinds of people. good morning to you. >> yes, slabsolutely, tony. millions of americans will benefit from this direct piece of legislation with direct stimulus checks expected to go

and meghan markle's interview with o with oprah. the response from the kbeen has gotten a very mixed response. holly, what are we learning? >> good morning, the state attributed to the queen said, quote, the issues raised, particularly that of race, are concerning. while some recollections may vary, they're taken very seriously and will be addressed by the family privately. the problem with that is the royal family is a symbol for the whole nation and the damaging allegations were watched by an audience of more than 48 million people globally. globally. the queen's statement is just 61 words long and does not explicitly condemn racism. when just last week following allegations that the duchess bullied staff members, another palace statementy y said it wo not tolerate bullying. we still don't know who in the royal family is alleged to have made comments about the skin color of the couple's son.

>> conversations about how dark his skin might be when he's born. >> what? >> prince charles was seen for the first time in member yesterday since his son revealed details about their damaged relationship. he kept a typically british stiff upper lip. >> sir, can i ask what did you think of the interview? >> reporter: making no comment on the interview. >> how do you feel about the palace hearing you speak your truth today? are you afraid of a backlash, or -- their reaction? >> i mean, i think i'm not going to live my life in fear. >> reporter: the couple's decision to bear their souls, american style, has rocked the royal family and forced the country to have an uncomfortable conversation did racism. modern britain is a multicultural place where people of color have climbed to positions of power. >> this has shined a lot on the

strukztural racism. >> reporter: dawn butler, a member of parliament, told us the royal family is cocooned in a bubble of whiteness. >> they'll know who said it and why they said it. what they have to really unpack is how they made a member of their own family blunt conversa there. holly williams at buckingham palace. we thank you. now we haven't heard from harry and meghan since the palace statement was released, and there are a lot of unanswered questions. let's go to roya nikkhah also at buckingham palace. she's a royal correspondent for "the sunday times." good to see you again. let's get right into it starting with the queen's statement. it was only 61 words, but a lot of people are dissecting what is she saying, what is she not

saying. what did you make of it? >> reporter: i thought it might have been short and succinct but made it clear that she was incredibly saddened to hear about what harry and meghan have gone through, the full extent, which implied that she wasn't aware the full extent of the suffering that they had endured. the other thing i thought was interesting was the fact that she said that they would look into all the issues that were raised, but particularly she singled out that those statements with race that harry and meghan had made during the interview and that had to be addressed. i think the top line here in that statement is that for the queen, for her she feels this is a private matter that should be looked at privately by the family. >> she was definitely sending a message it seemed. i think many people were surprised to hear that she was surprised that the couple was unhappy. if you listen to the interview with oprah, they made it clear that they had brought up the issues several times behind the scenes, that they did to try to resolve it privately. >> reporter: i think the key wording in the statement is the full extent of harry and

meghan's unhappiness. there's no doubt that the family knew they were unhappy. that ended with them stepping away from public duties last year. the full extent of the suffering and the hurt the queen wasn't aware of. >> the mood at the palace you would describe as what? >> reporter: well, i would say they have been through the wars in the last few days. probably nervous about what else might come out. hopeful that this might try and draw a line under it. i don't think that's going to happen anytime soon. i think they hope for the queen's statement it might give both sides a little time to reflect and see if they can progress in any way as a more happy family than we've seen in the last few days and months. >> it would be nice to see healing on both sides. thank you, roya nikkhah, for your time. email sure we'll talk again. thanks. >> reporter: i'm sure. breaking overnight, teachers and school officials in los angeles have a deal to reopen america's second largest public school district. students have been out of classrooms there for nearly a

year because of the coronavirus and some parents are pursuing a class-action lawsuit attempting dise l.a. parents say it's too late, after a year of attempting distance learning, the damage is done. another six weeks before he could be back in the classroom. >> there school year, it was a major problem. >> reporter: he's one of more than 650,000 l.a. public school students who have been trying to learn on line for nearly a year now. is he getting a quality education right now? >> no. he's not getting what he deserves. >> reporter: mikahi's mother,

keshara shaw, says he sometimes has less than two hours of teacher instruction a day. >> to him it feels like no one cares. it feels like they're giving me the minimum to do. his effort has become the minimum. >> reporter: now she's part of a class-action lawsuit against the stood and the teachers union which claims students are losing 17 to 19.5 hours of instructional time every week in a district where nearly 80% of the students qualify for free or reduced price meals. the lawsuit says the number of weekly hours of live instruction is less than half what it was before the pandemic. why is that? >> i don't agree with that. >> reporter: cecily meyer cruz is president of the l.a. teachers union. we spoke to her before the tentative agreement. >> things are not going to be perfect, but many of our educators are giving of themselves daily to this crisis distance learning. >> reporter: cdc and state

guidelines allow for elementary schools to open now. for nearly a month the teachers union had been fighting for stricter measures. >> we said all along, all three paces, health standards in schools, lower covid in the community, and vaccinations for school staff. >> reporter: the l.a. superintendent showed us his school vaccination site. teachers and staff can now get a shot. he says the district has spent more than $1 billion since the pandemic started, part of that on upgrading campus air filtration systems, stocking schools with protective equipment, and testing staff and students. nould you say what is going on as far as education and n los angeles, would you call that a success? >> absolutely. absolutely. we're doing the best we can in the safest way we can. >> this is not enough. a success for who, i'm am not sure. >> the lawsuit is still moving

forward. the families want them to be responsible for the harm caused. and when schools open, it will be dramatically different. classes will be smaller with online and in-person instruction. i should point out i have two children in public schools here in los angeles elementary school and they're really excited to get back to class. >> and i bet mom and dad are excited for them to get back to class too. >> very much. >> thank you very much, carter. new video released by the fbi shows how two pipe bombs were planted in washington the night before the assault on the capitol. senior investigative correspondent is tracking the search for a suspect. katherine, good morning to you. why is the fbi putting this out now? >> gayle, good morning. federal investigators are hoping these extended video clips will jog somebody's memory. they show how the suspect walks from the front and from behind, their mannerisms, how they carry the backpack and even swing their arms. american military sources tell me someone's gait can be as unique as a fingerprint and may

lead to more tips. the fbi reward stood at $100,000 and based on my reporting, the identification of this suspect is a tier one priority for federal investigators. it is the missing link in the timeline leading up to the riots. the fbi says the pipe bombs were planted on the evening of the 5th and devices were not discovered until the following day as the riots unfolded. finally, the rewards suggest more than two months after the riots, the fbi had too few leads and need the public's help. >> catherine, thank you very much. the trial of george floyd's murder has seated three jurors. derek chauvin is charged with second degree unintentional murder and man slaughter. video shows him kneeling on floyd's neck for about nine minutes on memorial day last year. jury selection resumes this

morning and it could take weeks to choose the 14 men and women who will hear this case. this morning we remember roger mudd, one of the great reporters from a legendary era for cbs news.news. >> here at the lincoln memorial, the sight is something -- >> mudd covered major events in washington throughout the 1960s and '70s. he often filled in for walter macron tight on the "cbs evening news," but he may be best remembered for a simple question to senator ted kennedy in 1979. >> why do you want to be president? >> well, i'm -- were i to make the announcement -- >> kennedy's fumbling answer up-ended his presidential campaign. it's considered one of the most devastating interviews in political history. he went on to work at nbc and pbs. after he retired, he said, "i'm

a cbs man." roger mudd died of kidney failure at his home in virginia. he was 93 years old. >> did you know him? >> i did know roger. i didn't meet him until he was at nbc. he filled in for walter macron tight every summer -- cronkite every summer. he may have become known when he broadcast for 67 days from the capitol during the filibuster of the civil rights legislation -- >> he was a pioneered, rolling coverage. what was thought of at that time as something boring. passage of the bill. >> that's what made roger mudd's name. he was a huge figure here and anchored "nbc nightly news," as well. >> his biographer said cbs unleashed mudd on the politicians, the civil rights bull, as surely as bull connor had released police attack dogs on peaceful protesters. >> it's interesting. i only know him at nbc. he was here, too? >> almost 20 years.

>> reporter: a feeling that comes after more than two decades in prison for 44-year-old george bell, 46-year-old gary johnson, and 59-year-old rohan bolt. their story starts on december 21st, 1996, when two men were shot and killed during an attempted robbery in queens. one an off-duty new york police officer. just days later, bell, johnson, and bolt were arrested. bell and johnson claim they were forced to confess after hours' long interrogations. confessions they later recanted. how can you explain to viewers that you confessed to a murder you say you didn't commit? >> actually they took advantage of my mental state. the tactic was to keep me up until the mental fatigue. >> reporter: how were you treated by investigators? >> harsh. mentally and physically. >> reporter: with physically, what do you mean? >> grabbing me, choking me.

it's just a -- very aggressive. when i put my head down to get rest and collect my thoughts, they would come in and bang on the table. >> reporter: how were you feeling? >> scared. confused. and angry. >> reporter: attorneys rita dave and marc wolinsky represent the three men. >> i think a lot of people say if i didn't do it, why would i say i did it? but you can say that in the comfort of your living room, not in a room with four police officers talking to you and you can't speak to your parents. >> reporter: do you think race played a role in this case? >> of course. >> absolutely. >> a 19-year-old black kid, he must be guilty. he confessed, he must be guilty. >> are you innocent? >> yes, a. . >> we're all. >> reporter: that innocence was in doubt until 90s when this police report resurfaced in another wrongful conviction case. this time un-redacted and with crucial details. a never-before-seen third page held key evidence that implicates a local gang in the 1996 smooth, not bell, johnson,

and bolt. >> to say that there's never mistakes, it's arrogant to think that there isn't -- >> reporter: that's why melinda katz created a wrongful conviction unit. she became the queens district attorney 14 months ago. in this case, do you think it was a mistake, or do you think there was some prosecutorial misconduct? >> my conviction integrity unit that spent 11 months on this case truly believe that's it was not a purposeful misconduct. >> reporter: katz' office joined the motion to vacate the convictions because prosecutors withheld evidence that if disclosed could have affected the outcome of the case. >> june 4th, ror, release all three defendants. >> reporter: that led to the release of the three men last week. >> when they i are leased me, the first thing i did was look for my wife. when i found her, i hugged her so hard i had to apologize afterwards. >> reporter: how has 24 years in prison changed you? >> i'm still trying to regroup

right now because 24 years of my life spent somewhere where i don't belong, i try to do the best, and basically i go day to day. you know, i still can't sleep. >> me neither. i open up the fridge at night just to open it up. >> reporter: how are you feeling? >> i wake up with a smile every day. i wake up knowing thatsomes burden lifted off of my shoulders and it's beautiful, m. as of now the men still face their original charges. anthony? >> thank you, wow. i open up the fridge at night just to open up the fridge. >> mr. bell, johnson, and bolt. you can't get back 24 years of your life. will there be any compensation for these men? i think the attorney said it best -- why would you confess to

something you didn't do? it's easy to say in the comfort of your living room. when you're being physically abused, emotionally abused, and yurp 19 -- >> so many examples of it now. >> many of them are men of color it keeps happening over and over again. >> confused to hear that it was a mistake that they went to jail for so long, not misconduct. when you describe it that way. >> exactly. >> you can always get the morning's news by subscribing to the "cbs this morning" podcast, hear today's top stories in less than 20 minutes. coming up, our cameras follow doctors who have been treating covid patients for an entire year. what we learned about the huge emotional toll. we'll be right back. whwhere can a a healthier r ht lead youou? for r people witith heart fafe taking e entresto, it mayay lead to a a world of possisibilities.. entresto i is a heartt failure e medicine p prescrid by mosost cardiolologists. it wasas proven susuperior at helpingng people ststay ale anand out of t the hospitat.

different. shows go on, and so on we go. >> shows go on, and so on we go. >> that is his co-host. >> didn't say good-bye. >> some will cheer, some people will boo. >> many times you could see her face, she looked like she was ready to crawl under the chair -- >> i thought if anyone was going to walk off it would be her. >> after the rant, they got over 41 -- close to 41,000 complaints where he seemed to say -- not seemed to, he said he thought meghan was lying when she was talking about the suicidal thoughts. you can't say that about someone who's said i needed help. he said she just was lying about it, it up. >> the itv royal corresondent also tweeted that meghan markle herself may have put in a request -- may have complained to the uk regulator about that. so here's what happened -- if you don't remember. on monday, piers morgan accused meghan of lying to oprah, and he dismissed his story of mental health struggles and racism in the royal family. so a formal complaint was

reportedly lodged on meghan's behalf claiming the rant may impact others dealing with mental anguish. britain's top media regulator has launched an investigation. he doesn't back down and tweeted, "freedom of speech is a hill i'm ready to die on." >> i think he's on the wrong side of history, i do. >> it's one thing to say i don't believe this may have happened. it's another to attack someone's mental pain, mental anguish. as they say, it could lead other people to feel as if their mental pain is not -- >> i liked what chelsea handler said, it must be nice that pierce motion an gets to leave a situation when he feels uncomfortable but criticizeses a black woman who she does the same. >> it's hard to ask for help. to be told you're lying, and you're making it up -- >> what about alex beresford -- >> bravo. >> on the set of not his show,

♪ it's wednesday, march 10th, 2021. welcome back to "cbs this morning." i'm gayle king with tony dokoupil and anthony mason. we're on the verge of a massive new covid relief package, including money for most americans. how families with children will be helped. a harrowing documentary called "76 days" takes us inside the initial covid outbreak in wuhan, china. what they learned. and dua lipa has gotten a lot of people dancing during the pandemic. now she's dancing down the road to the grammys. gayle talks to her only on "cbs this morning." >> anthony going to show off his dance moves later.

first, here's today's eye opener at 8:00. >> don't scare people. >> congress is set to pass president biden's giant coronavirus relief package in the next few hours. >> millions of americans will benefit from this piece of legislation, with direct stimulus payments expected to go out. >> the statement attributed to the queen said, quote, the issues raised, particularly that of race, are concerning. while some recollections may vary, they're taken very seriously and will be addressed by the family privately. >> the top line here in that statement is that for the queen, she feels this is a private matter that should be looked at privately by the family. >> still have to vote to approve this bill, but if it passes, school staff will have weeks to get vaccinated before heading back. >> federal investigators are hoping the extended video clips will jog someone's memory. sources tell me someone's gate can be as unique as a fingerprint. >> the olympics in tokyo will go ahead as planned this summer,

but without any foreign spectators in the stands. nobody from outside of japan will be allowed to visit, which means i'm going to have to go with my backup plan for attending the olympics, joining the uk women's gymnastics team. >> i would watch that. >> yes, so would i. >> appeared to be a photo shopped picture, an actual shot? >> james corden has nice legs. >> he does. we're going to begin with this, the house is expected to send a $1.9 trillion covid relief package to president biden's desk this morning. the house moved last night mostly along party lines to set up today's final vote and as we reported, the bill provides $1400 checks for most americans. it also extends $300 a week unemployment benefits and includes a child tax credit of up to $3600 per child. this morning, new information on how vaccines work against covid variants. a study in the journal nature says the pfizer and moderna

vaccines were effective against a variant first seen in britain. but could be significantly less effective against another found in south africa. at least 91 cases of that variant have been seen in the u.s. black women in this country fought for equal pay and equal access to loans. but new data today shows out from goldman sachs shows they are still two times more likely to live in poverty and their wages are 34% less than white men. they're also less likely to own their own companies. we met one business owner, her name is jessica johnson cope, who is trying to change that. her company, which has been in her family for generations provides professional security to businesses across the new york metropolitan area. here's her story, in her own words. >> my name is jessica johnson cope. i am the president and ceo of

johnson security bureau, the oldest black-owned security firm in new york state. johnson security bureau is a third generation family-owned and operated security services firm based in the bronx, new york. founded by my grandparents, dorothy and wilbur johnson, they started the business in their house in 1962 to create a company where they could provide jobs for people in the community. you may not see a lot of women-owned firms in our neighborhood, you may not see a lot of big businesses coming here, but when they see johnson security bureau, it gives them a sense of hope, that there is someone who looks like them, who achieves some level of success the goldman sachs 10,000 small businesses program was launched in 2009 as an answer to the financial crash of 2008. and i got the chance to interview with one of the members of the executive team at goldman sachs. she said, what, if you had

resources, what if someone showed you how you could better run your business, what if you could use other people's money and put more people to work and have a greater impact on your community? and we had sensational results. we have gone from 16 employees to over 160. our revenues have increased significantly. if you have the desire and you have the right tools, you can find success, whatever that means to you. >> 16 employees to 160, that's impressive growth. goldman sachs is announcing a new $10 billion plan to invest in jobs, healthcare and housing for black women. chairman and ceo david solomon joins us with the head of the firm's urban investment group, margaret anadu, this is their first tv interview about the announcement. good morning to you both. i'm very glad it is warm enough in new york you're both outside on the roof. great to see you. >> that looks good. >> well, we're really happy to be with you this morning and it is definitely almost warm enough

to be out on the roof. i'm probably a little underdressed. >> let's get you going then, warm you up. first, how will goldman sachs invest that $10 billion to help black women? >> well, we're very, very excited about this program and we have been working for quite some time to think about a way we can have a lasting economic impact. the earnings gaps and also the wealth gaps that exist for black women who are so important in the community based on all they're doing, very, very significant and so we really have been working toward putting together a longer term plan to disperse this capital in ways that could really drive broader economic participation, narrow gaps and really help drive more participation in the economy. i would like margaret to talk about some of the things we're thinking about specifically to drive those results over time. >> go ahead, margaret. >> so as we think about the $10 billion and the impact that we can have here, you heard from jessica johnson, just what it

means to have that access to capital. but we want to do something much broader here. that's why we want to invest in healthcare, education, housing, child care, because stepping back, these are the foundational elements in a black woman's life that really drive economic prosperity and we think when we can start to narrow some of the opportunity gaps, we unlock her potential, we lift her up, that's not just important for those black women, but also we're going to see the impact on their families, on our communities and we feel pretty strongly we're going to drive progress overall. >> in 2018, you were the youngest black woman to be named a partner at goldman sachs. what needs to be done to get more black women in leadership positions? >> you know, i think even an initiative like this and what we're building, this is about the infrastructure that allows more black women to be at the table and so when we can get more black women, that college degree, when we can help with upscaling, when we can help black women advance in their careers, you're going to see more black women at the table and i think to drive the type of

progress in initiatives like this that we need to see. >> seeing you standing there side by side with david solomon i think sends an important message, margaret. i want to go back to you, david. i love the question that jessica posed in the piece, what would you do if you had the resources that she was asked that by goldman sachs. why is this important to you? i want you to take us behind the scenes about your thinking on this. and it is more than just making opportunities for black women in business. >> absolutely, gayle. it is much more than that. i think the firm learned a lot over the last five years as we -- over the last 15 years as we made investments in other programs. i know you're familiar with, like our 10,000 women program, and our 10,000 small business program, that jessica is highlighting. what we have learned is that if we take our research and we really dig deep to try to understand where there are problems or gaps in our society, and then we take our resources, our capital, our network, our

ability to give people advice and help them gain access to capital, we can create a very positive impact over time. we can help lift people up, we can help them participate and, by the way, it is great for those people, but more importantly for our society, it helps us all economically. if we can close the wage gap for black women in this country, we can create 1.7 million more jobs and we can increase economic gdp output it by about $450 billion. so we all benefit from broader participation and that's why the research that we're putting out this morning, helps us understand where we can all make investments to help drive our society forward. >> the house is expected to pass today to vote today on the $1.9 trillion relief package, the covid relief package. what else needs to be done? do you think it is enough to begin with, and what else do you think needs to be done to get the economy going again? >> well, i think the most important thing, i think the economy is starting to do better

as we all have seen, as we are making progress on the pandemic. the most important gating item for us to get more economic recovery is to continue to advance on the vaccine and for people feel healthy, safe, and secure that they can operate out in the world in a way that is normal they can participate. so we need to continue to get vaccines distributed, get the uptake so we can move forward and get past this horrible health crisis, which is really just amplified some of these inequalities that we see in our society. >> david solomon, margaret anadu, thank you both for being with us this morning. we appreciate it. ahead, we'll talk to the filmmaker behind a documentary that takes us inside the dramatic fight to save lives during the early days of the coronavirus fight in wuhan, china. see why it is

ahead in our road to the grammys series, dua lipa tells us how she struggled whether or not to release her album called "future nostalgia." >> i have to go with my gut instinct that hopefully it will serve as some light in the darkness and keep people dancing at home and maybe this is exactly the perfect time to put it out. >> dua lipa has a good gut. she made the right call. it is nominated for album of the year. only on "cbs this morning," she tells us about the start of her career, including moving to

that of new york city, it was one of the largest quarantines in history. the documentary "76 days" shortlisted for an oscar tells the stories of health care workers and patients in four wuhan hospitals at the brink of compasapacity with two many pat showing up at once. [ speaking foreign language ] >> "76 days" is available on paramount plus, the viacomcbs streaming service. and producer hau wu joins us now. good morning to you. this is an extraordinary documentary. there are no sit-down interviews, there's no tv news footage brought in. it is all propulsive, on-the-scene coverage from two anonymous reporters who somehow got their way into these four hospitals there in wuhan. when you were taking in the footage, as director, was there a moment when you thought to yourself, first of all, whoa,

this is a big deal, and second of all, it's going to go way beyond wuhan. >> i think i got the first batch of footage to come in -- i was in new york while my co-directors were filming in wuhan. i remember mid-february i got the first batch of footage. i watched it. i was immediately blown away because up to that point i had read so much about what was happening in wuhan, and so mostly print media, news media. but i had never had such a sort of like on the -- fly on the wall evidence to see what's happening on the frontline. it was really extremely moving and harrowing at the same time. and i immediately realized i needed to work with these two to work on the film. >> so here in the u.s., we always hear about restrictions in china, the government cracking down on journalists, people not getting access. then here this documentary has extraordinary access. how were your two anonymous reporters on the ground able to obtain it?

>> my co-director, he's a video reporter for "esquire china." he wasn't sent to cover the beat. he's also an aspiring documentary filmmaker himself. so as soon as he learned about the wuhan lockdown, he went down there. but he was turned away by four hospitals before he found through personal connection to embed himself with a medical team that was being sent from elsewhere in china to support a local hospital. and the local hospital seeing him arriving together with medical team for a while, they thought he was working for the medical team. that's how he got access. with my other co-director anonymous, he's a photojournalist for a local newspaper. and he was basically assigned to take photos for their print news stories. that's how he gained access. >> amazing. you know, politics, global politics, american politics, chinese politics, are kind of outside the purview of the footage except for one moment on the street where you can hear a loud speaker say people

shouldn't believe rumors, we have to pull together as a collective. given that politics is put aside in this, when you were editing it, you had to consider the bigger picture. i'm curious, the president of china praises the country's handling of the pandemic there. would you agree? >> i think both countries -- there are something that the government did right and something lacking their covid-19 response. not just happening in china but also here, as well. i was in new york witnessing how the u.s. completely failed in its early response to covid-19. and the panic it has -- it was causing among the population here in new york city. but as i was making this film, i think i truly wanted to validate the raw footage coming from the front line. and also the extremely human story, individual human story that's -- that's captured in their footage.

and the same time since we're still living through the pandemic, it's too early to draw any conclusion in terms of whether any government did what right. >> it's extraordinary footage captured under extraordinary risk from two collaborators in wuhan, china. thank you very much for bringing it to us. it's a great documentary. we appreciate you being on this morning. as we mentioned, you can watch "76 days" on the viacomcbs streaming service. it is called paramount-plus. ahead, we meet some of the tech-savvy volunteers known as vaccine hunters who are using their skills and persistence to help older americans get their covid shots. you're watching "cbs this morning."

♪ she's levitating. that's dua lipa. welcome back to "cbs this morning." i sing that song. time bring "talk of the table" this morning. tony, you're up first. >> i'm up first. i've got a warning about technology this morning. a group of hackers is saying it gained access to the live feeds of around 150,000 different surveillance cameras inside places like hospitals, prisons, schools, and businesses. the hackers say they collected the camera data through a breach of the security startup verkada -- verkada, verkada, excuse me, people know their name now. one of the hackers shared some of the videos with cbs news.

some of the surveillance footage appears to show different sections of tesla facilities. one image also appears to show prisoners inside the madison county jail in alabama. the hacker told cbs news technology reporter dan patterson who's helping out with this, that this was a relatively easy breach with wide-scale implications. >> we know our smart tvs and smart cameras at home are all connected to the internet and sometimes insecure. she wanted to show that some of the largest, most powerful companies in the world are just as insecure as you and i at home. and that the stakes with those companies are incredibly high. >> sure are. representatives for tesla did not respond to our request for comment. the madison county sheriff's office in alabama says it hopes to have more information soon about the hack. verkada, the company there, spokesperson said that they've disabled the affected accounts and are investigating the hack. but we all have cameras on all of our things. >> everywhere.

>> a reminder. >> yeah. you always wonder if they can get into those -- >> anything connected to the internet is vulnerable. >> i'm looking around the security cameras in here right now going, okay. >> you're on tv, so -- >> the one on your ipad and phone is the one to worry about. >> you're right. you're right. all right. i got this. a group of skiers at a resort in romania got a terrifying surprise. look at this. that's a brown bear that interrupted this ski run. >> whoa. >> the person who recorded this footage reportedly is a ski instructor who was trying to draw the bear away from the tourists and back into the woods. as you will see, this bear ended up following the ski instructor for minutes. he was very persistent. you know, the brown bear could weigh up to 1,300 pounds and a large mail can stand over ten-feet tall when on his hind legs. there was another incident in january, very similar. an official said a solution needs to be found for the country's heavy bear population. >> i'm not a skier. is that a pun in the lower third there -- >> i was wondering -- p-i-s-t-e,

is that a ski term? a ski run? i was thinking exactly the -- question mark. what does that mean? the graphics are -- the chyron said that's one pissed off bear. >> that's a skiing term. don't ask what it means. >> that's clever. >> well done, graphics. >> well done is right. for my "talk of the table," i spoke with the talented dua lipa. only on "cbs this morning," part of the our "road to the grammys" series where we've been counting down to music's biggest nights coming up this sunday. dua lipa's nominated for six grammys including song of the year and album of the year for her second album, "future nostalgia." more than five million people, five million, tuned in to her live stream concert of songs from the disco inspired pop album over thanksgiving weekend. so dua lipa told us -- bay the way, she's got a songwriting credit on every single song in this album, that's big -- she

felt pressure to create an album that lived up to her chart-topping debut, but clearly she had nothing to worry about. ♪ if you want to believe that anything could stop me ♪ dubbed the disco queen of quarantine -- ♪ singer/songwriter dua lipa became one of the most streamed artists of 2020. ♪ she released her second album "future nostalgia" just as the pandemic brought the world to a halt. ♪ being cooped up so long, we wanted to dance, but we had nowhere to go. yet, you put -- you put out an album that just screams for everybody to get on the dance floor. tell us the back story of this album. you know, a lot of people put their album releases on hold. >> there was definitely a moment where i was thinking about it, whether it was the right decision to put this album out. >> yeah. >> but when i was making this album, it served like a form of escapism. i had to go with my gut instinct

that hopefully it will serve as some light in the darkness and keep people dancing at home and maybe this is exactly the perfect time to put it out. >> the timing could not have been better. ♪ her music kept people around the world dancing during lockdown. but the optimism of "future nostalgia" signaled a shift in lipa's change as a songwriter especially compared to her hits from the first album. ♪ you ain't getting over him ♪ >> but you know, you're heart seems to be in a different place because, listen, the song "new rules" was such an anthem for anybody who was going through anything with a partner that was -- they had sort of had it. what do you think is my favorite line on the song "new rules"? what do you think it is? >> if you're under him you ain't getting over him? >> yes!

yes! yes! yes! yes! >> my girl. >> i love that song because it's so true. are you speaking from personal experience? >> you know, i'd like to think that i'm definitely in a much happier place. >> yes. >> i felt like with my first record, as well, because i was going through so many personal obstacles in my private life that it helped with the music. i felt like i was stuck a little bit with the idea that i had to be sad in order to make music. >> uh-huh. >> so when i started making "future nostalgia," i'm like, there is no reason for me to be making sad songs. ♪ baby let me take you for a ride ♪ i'm having the best time. life is great. and i just want to like put some optimism out there and some fun and some excitement and some happiness. and i had to like kind of overcome that because i felt like making happy pop music was cheesy. >> if it's cheesy, i say give me the cheese.

♪ who needs to go to sleep when i got you next to me ♪ >> for dua lipa, her path to stardom began as most careers do -- ♪ by singing in her parents' living room. >> i've almost never known myself without singing. when i'm writing and when i'm singing, i feel like that's how i get the best version of myself or my feelings or emotions. >> when i told people i was doing this interview, somebody asked me what's her real name. it is such a great star name. you have to admit that. it is your real name. what does it mean? what does dua mean? >> dua means love in albanian. it's really cool that i get to have my real name be my stage name. >> yeah. >> i've learned to appreciate my name a lot more. living in london with a name like dua, i guess i just wanted to be like every other kid. >> dua -- dua lipa. >> i'm very grateful for it, and it honors my roots, as well. >> i like how you said it honors your roots.

let's talk about your roots and what they mean to you. >> albanian was my first language. my parents had left kosovo because of the war that was happening in yugoslavia at the time. and when i was 11-years-old, my parents decided to move back to kosovo. and lots of people ask, like, why did they decide to move back. i think something that people forget a lot of the time is, you know, when people leave their homes because of the war, there's always that intent to go back at some point. you know, nobody really wants to leave their hometown. >> exactly. at the age of 15, you convinced them to let you go to london by yourself to live with a friend. please tell me what your pitch was to your parents. >> it was something along the lines of, you know, i want to do music, but i also want to go back to the uk and the chance that i can go and do university there. >> was it hard to convince them to let you go? >> i think there were moments of them wondering whether it's like the right thing to do. my mum just claims that i was very confident, and my parents

have always been my closest friends. >> yeah. nice. >> at the same time. we became even closer when they allowed me to go to london. i didn't want to misuse their trust. >> how excited you are -- >> that trust certainly paid off. afer a star-making debut album. >> the grammy goes to -- >> she found herself on music's biggest stage -- >> dua lipa. [ cheers ] >> she won two grammys in 2019. what was that like for you? i mean, listen, and you were nominated for more than one right out the box. >> i have to tell you that after my speech and after everything happened on that night, i had to go back and re-watch it because i feel like i blacked out. >> and this year, she's nominated again. i love something that your dad told you once that you have to work hard to make a bit of luck. was your dad right? >> absolutely. there's only so much luck can give you. i think without kind of really woking your ass off for lack of

a better word. >> i find working your ass off to be very effective. how are you handling the fame? does it scare you because you're -- you're 25 now. i mean, you're extremely talented. you are at the top of your game. you're nominated for six grammys. ♪ >> i'm so lucky that my hobby is my job, and i get to do all these incredible things. when i go home, it's -- it's very different. i'm just like -- i'm just dua. ♪ >> she's just dua with a capital "d." she's so successful. she's in love. she's gorgeous, as you see. i like that she told me that she never had a plan b because she said if i had a plan b, then i didn't think i would work as hard. i thought that was an interesting way to look at it. i do love that line, "if you're under him, you're not getting over him." the reason why it resonates is because i said we've all been there. john -- executive producer said, well, not all of us. anybody that's been in a bad

relationship, trying to hold on, i think we've been there. jonathan goes, no, not all of us. you can't listen to her music, i think, and not want to get out of your chair and dance. >> it's a great record. i think it's going to be her year. i really do. >> i do, too. we learned something interesting -- >> i was waiting for you to go here. >> we're talking about dancing, you know -- >> we don't have time -- >> i think we do. >> and anthony mason says to me and tony, you know, i used to go to studio 54. we went, "what?" >> yourself as anthony mason? >> who else would i have gone as. >> do you want to share with the class what you were doing at studio 54? >> i was dancing. my early 20s, late teens. i can't remember. it was a long time ago. >> travolta-esque. >> so damn cool and unexpected. >> i'm a native new yorker, gayle. >> your steps diabetic. >> mine don't exist. my back was to the wall.

i'm a talker. i like conversation when you're done dancing. >> it's not true that all black people can dance. i'm still doing pmy fifth grade moves. tomorrow we'll have one of our favorite stories of the year -- i love this -- we're going to reveal this year's music educator award winner, and you can watch the "63rd annual grammy awards" sunday at 8:00 eastern bho eastern. who's hosting, guys? >> trevor noah. that's right. >> what channel? >> on cbs. >> that's right. i remember now. i like it channel a lot. ahead, how one family has turned its kitschen into a covid-19 command center and helped hundreds of older
