7:03 am
singers. this morning's "eye opener" is presented by progressive, making it easy to bundle insurance. >> you've got to say, it was a very funny visual. >> i think it was a unanimous decision. >> the supreme court behind him there. >> i would say so too. we welcome you to "cbs this morning." >> we're going to begin with breaking news. it's a big step towards making vaccines safe for children. this morning moderna said it has already given the first doses of its vaccine to kids from six months of age to 12 years old. the two-part study designed to show how children tolerate the vaccine and make sure it's safe and effective for them. we spoke with david begnaud, who spoke with the families involved in the vaccine trial. good morning. >> good morning to you. we are here where in the houston trial is one of the biggest in the country, 450 people
7:04 am
enrolled. so we heard how it was going and said let's go to houston and meet some of the people involved in it. so we met two sisters who were both enrolled by their parents. it was blair davis' 15th birthday and to celebrate, she and her younger sister dylan got into a cash and headed to a clinic -- >> happy birthday. what a way to celebrate. >> reporter: -- and they got a covid swab. that's because they're part of the moderna's adolescent vaccine trials. yesterday they got their second shots. >> no way to know if it's the placebo or real thing. >> i think i got the placebo. >> we're like pushing for a fever. pushing for body aches. >> exactly. as doctors you know if that happens, the body is reacting to something. >> that's right. they're getting a response. we're looking for a response. >> reporter: garden davis and mindy, both doctors, are the girls' parents. they said they applied to at least three different adolescent trials. >> to get them protected was really important for us. >> reporter: you felt like getting them protected as early as possible would in the end
7:05 am
protect you? >> would protect us. would protect their grandparents and anyone else. >> reporter: for the next few days, the girls will have to record their temperatures and noir symptoms in a digital journal and in a few weeks, they'll come back for another checkup. but for this family, it's not just about protecting themselves from covid. >> i wanted them to be an example and set an example to say, hey, this vaccine is safe. we actually as doctors trust our children getting this shot. >> i would say unquestionly being african-american really played a role in really wanting our girls to participate. it sill is personal because as african-american physicians, we understand the science of it. we know what happens and what they're doing and what's wrong. but this is not that. these studies are being done now in a way we should be able to trust them. >> if our kids can get this trial approved for other teenagers, i think it will make
7:06 am
everyone feel better and be in a safer place. >> reporter: and getting kids vaccinated will be critical to ending the pandemic, says cbs news political contributor dr. david agus. >> given 25% of the united states is under the age of 21, this is going to have to include children. >> reporter: dr. agus says adult vaccine trials required tens of thousands of participants in order to prove the vaccines stopped people from getting sick. now that we know the vaccines work, children's trials only need to answer the important questions. >> is it safe period? and do they mount effective immune responses period? and those are very easy to do with smaller numbers of children. >> reporter: a few thousand children actually, starting with kids like dylan and blair, who spent her special day in a houston clinic. >> but, but, it's sort of my duty as a houstonian to help
7:07 am
other other houstonians and this is one way i can do that. >> and it looks like the younger sister dylan had fever, chills, body aches, so she may have gotten the real thing. dr. fauci said early kids could get the vaccine as early as this fall and younger ones early as next year. >> underline that number, david. 12 25% of the u.s. under 21, amazing stat. another vaccine not yet approved in the united states is running into trouble in other countries. into problems in other countries. charlie d'agata has that story. charlie, good morning. >> it's the astrazeneca vaccine suspended over much of europe over concerns about blood clots, a concern that experts here are calling a disaster. in germany, france, and italy, a precautionary measure,
7:08 am
regulators here say there's no risk between the vaccine and higher blood clots. astrazeneca says 17 million people here in the uk and in europe, found less than 40 blood clots and in their words even lower than the general population. we have found similar numbers across all vaccines including moderna and pfizer currently in use in the u.s. now the decision to suspend the vaccine now comes as cases are spreading exponentially across much of europe causing further lockdown us. as for the u.s., there are 300 million doses of this oxford vaccine waiting for fda approval. astrazeneca says they're hoping to submit the vaccine for approval in april. gayle. >> thank you very much, charlie d'agata reporting from london. cbs news is getting a first hand look at the unfolding crisis at the u.s./mexico border. many of those crossing are young children. cbs news has confirmed last month, listen to this number, 7300 unaccompanied migrant kids
7:09 am
were transferred into a migrant shelter run by the u.s. agency. that's a record for the month of february. mireya villarreal spent sometime with those witnessing the crisis first hand. this morning, he's at a and we embedded with local constables along side border patrol just west of where we're standing. these guys don't have the authority to detain the migrants so instead pushing them towards the federal staging areas. they say this is about the safety of the families, hundreds of men, women and children who might otherwise die in the brush, especially as temperatures get hotter here on the border.
7:10 am
>> you have hundreds and hundreds of people coming across here on a daily basis. >> reporter: the banks of the rio grande river are where sergeant roger rich and the deputy spend most of their nights working overtime. >> this is one of the main areas they like to cross because it's very secluded out here. >> reporter: their job help border patrol respond to the surge of migrants illegally crossing into the united states. >> i actually myself have found 5-year-olds in the brush by themselves, not a quarter mile of this location. >> reporter: how does this sit with you? >> that's pretty rough. i have a 6-year-old and i wouldn't want him out here by himself. it's heartbreaking. >> reporter: minutes later that heartbreak right in front of us, two moms traveling with their boys. she left four months ago with her son derrick after she said someone there tried to kidnap her and extort her family for money. she said now she decided to cross because she's heard that the law is different here in the united states.
7:11 am
so she believes this is the right time for her to pass into the u.s. >> reporter: she will try to live with family in florida while she works through the asylum process. >> they didn't cross the river by themselves. they were brought across on a raft, boat or a raft. >> reporter: and the dry clothes give that away? >> oh, yeah. >> reporter: as the sun starts to set, we run into a group of unaccompanied teenage boys. then in the dark, rich and salinas find a large group filled with young children. >> she's scared. she's scared of a lot of things. >> reporter: the constables keep them on the main trail, pushing them towards a border patrol staging area about a mile away. at the end of the line we walk with a man from honduras. [ speaking spanish ] >> god, god is watching over
7:12 am
him. that's why he is not scared. so he's 10. he doesn't know where his dad is. his mom is in honduras. and he has an aunt he's going to try to stay with here in the united states. >> there's a family out there that is kind of going to watch over him. >> it is heartbreaking to see that in realtime. parents don't let their children come unless they are feeling extremely desperate. i saw that when i was at the border too. most people coming, they're really trying to escape terrible, terrible situations. and you have to feel that if you're going to let your children go. how was that little boy just walking off into the darkness alone, that's tough. >> it was extremely tough. that little boy is 10 years old and level of desperation that you're seeing not just from these children, but also from
7:13 am
the moms, the parents, it's something we never experienced before and on the flip side of that, working with a lot of these officers, you see this helplessness in their face as well. the best they can do with so many people coming through right now is push them towards a staging area, not knowing what's going to happen to these kids especially, but it is a very hard situation to deal with all the way around. >> you know what i keep thinking, that as bad as that looks, they're coming here because they believe it's going to be so much better and they're sending these kids into the unknown, not knowing how it's going to turn out. tough to see. >> and they're crossing where they're crossing because they're being turned away at legal ports of entry. >> they're desperate, tony. >> desperate. president biden is traveling today to highlight the benefits of his massive covid economic relief plan, which will start putting money into people's pockets very soon.
7:14 am
and a key message is the stimulus check. 87% of households will receive at least $1,400. we spoke with a single mother renee copeland who told us she's obsessively checking her bank account to see if the money is deposited. copeland said she's barely making enough money to pay the bills so she isn't thinking about boosting the economy but rather all of the money will go towards bear necessities. >> it means i'm not in the fire anymore. i can step back from feeling like i'm being engulfed in financial flames.
7:15 am
it's a time to catch my breath, okay. just a little step ahead. a little something. >> reporter: despite many polls that show the majority of americans support this plan, cbs learned exclusively starting today the republican national committee will launch a countermessaging campaign on the airwa airwaves, on the ground, on phone and social media to try to make the case this money is not being targeted to fight the pandemic. >> thank you very much, weija. this morning we are hearing from a oklahoma girl's basketball team that was called the n-word by a sports announcer who was calling the game and he said that into a live microphone as the team took a knee during the national anthem at a high school tournament game. national correspondent jericka duncan reports now on the young
7:16 am
women. >> we never thought this would happen to us. in shock when the shared the news. >> it was just like blank stares. ♪ >> reporter: the norman high school girls basketball squad had taken a knee during the national anthem all season in an effort to bring awareness to racism and social injustice but on thursday [ bleep ] an open microphone captured sports announcer matt rowan debating them with a racial slur. >> this is why we took a knee. >> reporter: in a statement the nfhs network which broadcast the came promised an investigation saying it cut time with the third-party crew involved and adding that is condemns racism, hate and discrimination. rowan blamed the rant on his type 1 diabetes, writing i do not believe i would have made
7:17 am
such statements absent my sugar spiking. >> we're demanding that the regulatory authorities of the sports and athletic high school association in oklahoma publicly condemn this racism. >> and the tigers -- >> reporter: the girls took home a state title saturday. celebrating one win. now fighting for something bigger. >> we just want change within our community, our state and our country. and that change is going to start with people holding other people accountable. >> you're absolutely right about that. the oklahoma >> you are absolutely right about that. the association which oversaw the basketball tournament released a policy as well and cut ties saying this kind of behavior will never be tolerated and promise to make further comment pending an investigation. i keep thinking about all of the people who have type 1 die bots. don't lump this in. racism is not a side effect of
7:18 am
type 1 diabetes. >> no, not in my medical journal. >> very rich to come up with that as an excuse. >> at the end of the day we say congratulations to the girls. >> yes! >> way to turn that around, tony dokoupil! and prince philip is out of the hospital less than three months before his 100th birthday. ahead, we'll have the latest on that and more fallout from the ground breaking oprah interview
7:19 am

7:40 am
>> reporter: jeannie roepcke has been a teacher in arkansas 24 years. why are you a teachers? >> oh, my god, the students. absolutely the absolute. >> reporter: can i assume you aren't doing it for the money? >> if you're doing it for the money, it's the wrong profession. >> reporter: roepcke's school district in batesville, arkansas, prides itself on students first. but when it comes to paying its teachers, batesville was next to last in this part of the state. salaries averaged $45,000. >> we weren't keeping people because of that. >> reporter: michael hester is batesville superintendent. he was losing teachers and getting new ones to move to this rural arkansas town of about 10,000 people. >> people aren't in this for the money, but they should not have a vow to poverty to teach either. >> reporter: jeannie roepcke has been working five nights a week at the local community center just to make ends meet.

but then they started hearing a rumor. >> oh, yeah, teachers love to talk. >> reporter: about an unusual solution to batesville budget problems. >> what was that really about? >> reporter: that would allow this school district to truly live up to its name. >> don't sleep on arkansas, we'll surprise you every time. >> reporter: the school took an unused field out back and filled with hundreds of solar panels. also a solar canopy stretching across the front of the high school. in all, nearly 1500 panels aimed at recharging batesville's budget. >> batesville is pioneers, they did pioneer solar in arkansas. >> reporter: rich vance works for an manager company that helped the district save $600,000 in utility costs. >> they did it at a time when no one else was doing it. well, now, everybody's doing it. >> reporter: solar power costs a lot less than it used to.
7:42 am
mainly because it's cheaper to make the panels. in the past decade, the price of solar has dropped 89%. to both save money and the planet, 7,000 schools are using solar power. that's up 81% in five years. as far as anyone can tell, batesville is the only school district that turned panels into paychecks. >> batesville has reduced the checks they write to utilities and increased the checks they write to the teachers. >> reporter: with the money they saved and made with the grid, batesville has boosted every teachers' salary by as much as $15,000. the district, once one of the worst, is now the best paying in the county. are you getting more resumes these days from teachers who want to work here? >> not only resumes, fewer resignations. >> reporter: jeannie roepcke has

meghan's explosive interview with oprah winfrey. it is reported that harry and prince william have been in contact. harry expected to unveil a memorial to princess diana later this summer. his father prince charles is reported to be, quote, upset and cut up. the inside look at the family's reaction comes as buckingham palace has hired an internal law firm to investigate claims that meghan bullied the staff. gayle, you spoke with them over the weekend. let's break news. >> well, i did actually call them, it's true, harry has talked to his brother and his father, too. the word i was given, those conversations were not productive. but they are glad they at least started a conversation. i think what is still upsetting to them. the palace keeps saying they want to work it out privately, but yet, the false stories are coming out that are disparaging

against meghan still. no one in the royal family has talked to meghan yet. i think it's frustrating to them to see it's a racial conversation about the royal family when all they wanted all along was for the royals to intervene and tell the royals to stop with the unfair, inaccurate false stories that definitely have a racial slant. until you can acknowledge. i think it's hard to move forward. they both want to move forward with this and they both want healing in this family. at the end of the day, that's harry's family. >> there's no word whether the palace is investigating what meghan said about reaching out for mental health or the racist language. >> but they are investigating the bullying conversations. apparently, the sussexes are not going to be part of that investigation themselves. >> that's what we're learning. >> the bullying thing was raised in 2018 now there's an ongoing investigation bullying from meghan markle. anyone who has worked with will

8:03 am
police raided her home. walker thought they were intruders so he fired one shot from his weapon that he was legally allowed to have. and charges against him were permanently dismissed last week. we spoke with kenneth walker and his two attorneys yesterday. every day feels like march 14th to me. every day does. and i'm sitting right here today, and i'm feeling tired. >> tired? >> what are you tired of? >> i'm tired of having to get up every day and my life has changed. i'm the only person who has to deal with it every day. breonna taylor is just a hash tag to other people, but she was something bigger to me, of course, and it's hard to wake up every day and see her name and her pictures and everything all over the place. you know, but it's also that needs to happen, buzz because she still hasn't gotten justice. >> as we sit here today, no one
8:04 am
has been charged with her murder. >> exactly. >> only one officer faces charges for his actions that night. for wanton endangerment for shooting at the apartment next door. last october two members of the grand jury responsible for deciding charges told us they were never given the option of charging the officers with murder. >> what did you think when you heard that? we were very surprised by that. >> the only reason i wasn't surprised is because the way the whole situation has already played out. i'm still sitting here as the only person who has been to jail, and i didn't kill anybody. >> get down on your knees. >> walker was arrested and charged with assault and attempted murder. accused of shooting an officer during the raid. walker's legal team says ballistics evidence does not prove his bullet struck the officer. last week a judge dismissed the charges permanently. >> you were in limbo.
8:05 am
they could have charged you at any time without the charges being dropped. when you got the use they'd been dropped, did you feel relief? >> when i heard the news, i was relieved but it's kind of like a smack in the face, too. that should have never been any charges in the first place. >> what does that say to you about the initial charges since they've dismissed it? >> he's wary of the police showing up at the police any night and charging him with attempted murder again. it's over. but there has to be accountability to what happened not only to breonna but what happened to kenny. because they clearly just charged kenny in an attempted coverup for breonna's killing. and then that house of cards basically just fell apart easily and the charges against kenny are dismissed and they just want to walk away. and we've said repeatedly no, it is not okay to just walk away. there has to be a consequence. because without a consequence,
8:06 am
there's never accountability. >> i've heard people say that you don't move on but you move forward. >> there's several steps i'm taking as far as the heal process. of course i talk to a therapist on the regular. >> ken it last time we talked to you, you weren't sure you were going to do that. >> my mind, you know, it's not right. nothing's right. got to try to do things in new situations. without the love and support that breonna is i'm receiving, there's also a lot of hate. >> you are receiving hate? are you? >> the most famous one that i've seen is that people said that i used breonna as a human shield. that's been said on the internet. but like i said, if you were to do any type of research or look into anything, that's not even possible. >> but kenneth, let's stop on that for a second. what a cruel thing to say to you. >> most definitely, but these are things i have to deal with on the daily. so for me or the getting sued,
8:07 am
you know, for something like emotional distress when i have to deal with things like that every day, that's another slap in the face. >> let's talk about that. it raised a lot of eyebrows when the officer who was hit in the leg that night filed a countersuit against you claiming alleged battery, assault and emotional distress. you heard that lawsuit and you thought what? >> i thought that's everything that happened to me, but you know, okay. the truth always wins. >> have you been able to go back to work yet? >> no. definitely have not been able to go back to work. that's another thing that i miss out on. but even if i was to be able to go to work right now, it wouldn't be normal. >> he's applying for jobs and people are asking have you ever been arrested. the reality of that situation is he has suffered both psychological and economic damage as a result of what's happened. right? and someone is going to have to rectify that. and it's the parties that we
8:08 am
have sued, we believe. >> last week walker filed a federal lawsuit against the louisville city government police department and officers involved in the raid. he alleges they violated his 4th amendment right to be free from unreasonable searches. >> what do you miss most about breonna? >> everything. but i'd say on the daily, the help that she gave me. even just simple things like remembering what day my phone bill is due, stuff like that. i wouldn't have to worry about that. >> isn't it the simple things, isn't it? >> uh-huh. every day things. you know? that i miss out on. they hurt the most. >> jefferson county commonwealth attorney told us his office charged the charges against kenneth walker because it determined it did not have sufficient evidence for trial. the louisville metro police and sergeant matingly's attorney, we
8:09 am
reached out to. all declined to comment. at tend of the interview, it's the simple of things involved with a couple. >> as soon as he said that, i could see her reminding him. >> you always think about the big things but it's the small things. his life has been permanently changed. and i thought his attorney raised a good point when you filled out an application and says have you been arrested. >> it's the little things but i think about the big things. there were baby clothes. there's no tell where they would be right now. >> they said it's not about money, but money gets people's attention to lead to change. and he's owed something for what he's been through. we'll follow the case. certainly there's more to come. ahead on "cbs this morning," we will reveal major changes instagram is making to help protect teenagers from online predators. we'll ask abo

8:17 am
>> absolutely, there are predators. i mean, having that conversation constantly. we don't give out personal information. we don't give out location. >> they do get direct messages sometimes, but if they keep their mrprofile private, it's generally not as risky as some of the other ones. but we do, you know, we do still keep tabs on it, all of my daughters get unsolicited inquiries on instagram to follow them. then they're sort of left on their own to make this decision, should i let this person follow me that they may not know. you can't be in there every day looking at who's following them. >> instagram, all of the social media places need to do a little bit more. i know technology is going fast. and everything is evolving, but they have the tools to do that. and maybe they need to invest a little more money and education online or whatever they can do to help us as parents. >> well, instagram is announcing
8:18 am
now it will use artificial intelligence to restrict adults from messaging teenagers if they don't already follow each other. and also issue prompts to have teens be cautious and make it global public policy carolyn merrell joining us first on "cbs this morning" to talk about this, carolyn, clearly this is a very big deal. good morning to you. thank you for being here. i am curious from where you're sitting, how big of a problem was it for online predators contacting teens and why did you decide to make these changes now? >> thank you so much for having me. keeping kids safe on instagram is something that's hugely important to us. and it's something we've taken seriously since the beginning of instagram. last year, we released new tools, comment filtering, all under the umbrella of protecting
8:19 am
teens. this is just one of the latest in the slate of tools to protect teens. why we want to do it now? again, we take this seriously and we wanted to get upstream and protect teens from unwarranted interactions between adults and teens. >> so, those numbers that we cited earlier that jump out to me, 500,000 predators online every day. does that match up with what you guys monitor internally? >> so, our poll, we see that people come to irthat gram to connect with family and friends in their communities and the interactions are generally positive and safe. even in the latest report, 10,000 pieces of content, five were risky to teens. but five is too much. we're investing more technology to protect teens. >> you're supposed to be 13 years old or older to create an instagram account, i discovered recently when my 11-year-old chose to follow me and i checked
8:20 am
his followers and it's all of the other 11 year olds. if i'm understanding this new program correctly you're now going to have essence age verification through artificial intelligence, is that right? >> you have to be 13 to use instagram. we ask for age when you first sign on. we also rely on reporting tools, if you see someone who is not 13, we will report and take that account down. and we look at machine learning to look at behavorial signals to make sure how old someone is and make sure we're ahead of that. >> carolyn, a lot is focused on age 13, but when do you think a child is instagram ready outside of their age? >> 13 is a good place to start. but we also understand this is really personal and every teen is personal. onthe updated parents guide you can find different tools and conversation starters for parents to have with their teens. to see when is that teen ready?
8:21 am
even on the platform, what is that experience going to be like and how can you set your teen up to have the most intentional, safe, positive experience while you're there. >> we also have an interest in intentional safe positive experiences online so we all have an interest in this succeeding. it's a big new day, carolyn merrell, thanks for sharing with us. and laurie segall speaks about she was sex trafficked when she was 13 years old. she does not want to reveal her identity but her lawsuit against facebook could be headed to the supreme court. you can watch laurie's report this sunday on "60 minutes" plus available on thehe viaiacom ststreaming serervice paramounu plus. we'll bebe right back.

world he barely knows. what was the first thing you did as a free man? >> i almost cried. okay? but i broke down with a big smile on my face. a free man. free at last. >> reporter: 83-year-old joe ligon was released from prison last month after serving nearly seven decades for crimes he committed when he was 15. ligon the son of alabama sharecroppers was incarcerated when dwight d. eisenhower was president. and nat king cole's "pretend" was on the music charts. ♪ >> they didn't exist --
8:46 am
>> reporter: street cars, yeah. >> yeah. >> reporter: he returns to a changed world. >> i looked and saw all of these high buildings but i expect to see that. >> reporter: in 1953, ligon and four other black teenagers were involved in an alcohol-fueled spree of robberies and stabbings in philadelphia. two people died. what were you guilty of? >> i was guilty of being at the wrong place at the wrong time. it wasn't with the intention of hurting nobody. i didn't murder anybody. >> reporter: there are people out there who are going to watch and they're going to say, he stabbed someone, he committed a crime. you say to them, what? >> i'm sorry that i committed a crime. i'm sorry that someone was murdered. i'm sorry about that. >> reporter: ligon concedes he did stab someone that night. but maintains he didn't kill anyone.
8:47 am
he said he's a changed man. did you feel remorse for what you did? >> yes, i did. yes, i did. i had to feel remorse. >> reporter: the teenagers can tried together. >> reporter: they pleaded guilty and pled guilty to two counts of first degree murder and sentenced to life in prison with no chance of ever getting out. public defender bradley ridge has represented ligon for more than 15 years. >> since there was an injustice, i felt compelled to do something about it. >> reporter: so why was joe convicted? >> joe was convicted largely by guilt by association. there were four kids that were tried together. and a lot of the evidence against one child was considered against the other two or three other children. this case went forward to trial today, he'd probably be found guilty of a manslaughter charge. 5 to 10, or 10 to 20. >> reporter: ligon's niece valerie came to our interview
8:48 am
because she wants to show the world ligon has a supportive family. >> yeah, she told me. she told me all the stories. >> reporter: his fate started to change in 2016 when the u.s. supreme court ruled that all juvenile lifers should have a chance to be reended. after nearly seven decades behind bars, ligon refused to be released on parole because he didn't want to be supervised for the rest of his life. so they kept fighting until a federal judge recently vacated his sentence. he was released without parole. you're free outright. >> outright, thank you, jesus. >> reporter: does the case symbolize what's wrong with the justice system? >> first of all, it symbolizes we shouldn't sentence people on who they are. and the second thing is children are particularly unique in their ability to grow, change and
8:49 am
reform themselves. and therefore, giving an adult sentence to a child is inherently wrong. >> reporter: the world may have changed, most of his immediate family is long gone. but joe ligon says he's not dwelling on the ligon for those 68 years and that's without any medical costs, gayle. >> boy, michelle, we all think you you should be punished when you commit a crime. but we all say the punishment should fit the crime. in that case it doesn't seem to have done that. michelle, thank you for that story. you're watching "cbs this morning." we'll be right back.
