7:02 am
a thick, black comb of smoke visible for miles. just casually playing volleyball in front of an erupting volume cane grow. and a huge victory for the arizona wild cat women. >> for the first time in school history, the arizona wildcats are going to the final four! >> facing top-seeded uconn for a chance at the national championship. the dream is alive for houston! >> final four, baby! >> let's go! >> it's houston's first trip to the final four in 37 years. an even longer drought was snapped when baylor knocked off arkansas. >> my favorite moment postgame. unexpected interruption to the interview baylor coach josh drew was doing. >> he got the ice bath from his players. this morning's "eye opener" is presented by progressive, making it easy to bundle insurance. one of the few times you
7:03 am
don't mind, i bet, getting an ice bath. >> no, you don't mind. we're going to begin this morning with the murder trial of derek chauvin in minneapolis. the defense lawyer and prosecutors told, as you might expect, very different stories in court before the testimony began yesterday, and then witnesses revealed some things we did not know about the death of george floyd. let's go now to jamie yuccas, who is outside the courthouse, where the trial resumes again this morning, day two. jamie, good morning to you. >> good morning, tony. during jury selection some of the jurors said they had seen only part of the video. one said they had not seen it at all. as the video played, one juror grabbed her chair and another had her hand on her temple. the video is a powerful tool for the prosecution and there are studies that show almost 80% of jurors make up their mind during opening statements. the defense, though, made its own case in its opening statement saying the video is not the whole story. again, though, we want to warn
7:04 am
you, the video is very disturbing. >> reporter: george floyd's family watched the video from a separate room. >> you can believe your eyes, it's a homicide. it's murder. >> reporter: prosecutor jerry blackwell told the jury that the video of derek chauvin is definitive evidence of excessive force. >> he put his knees upon his neck and his back, grinding and crushing him until the very breath -- no, ladies and gentlemen, until the very life was squeezed out of him. >> reporter: but defense attorney eric nelson argued shauv was simply following training. >> the use of force is not attractive but it is a necessary component of policing. >> reporter: and floyd's death was not caused by chauvin's
7:05 am
action but rather drugs and other factors. >> mr. floyd died of a cardiac arrhythmia that occurred as a result of hypertension, coronary disease, ingestion of methamphetamine and fentanyl and adrenaline. >> reporter: prosecutors revealed never-before-seen surveillance foot age from across the industry. 911 dispatcher, jenna ya scurry, was watching through the camera when prosecutors say she called police on the police. >> you can call me a snitch if you want to. all of them sat on this man. >> reporter: she said she thought the screen was frozen because there was no movement for so long. >> my instincts were telling me something is wrong, something is not right. i don't know what, but something is not right. >> reporter: prosecutor donna williams was on the scene that day. >> shehe's not resisting arrest
7:06 am
bro. >> you see his toe pointing down and you will see a small gesture in the back foot and the pressure being pushed more down between his knee, head and concrete. >> reporter: ben crump is the floyd family attorney. >> i thought that the prosecution presented well today. i thought the first witness was a bombshell. >> reporter: are you going to be able to take in all of the information week after week? >> we came here to get justice whatever it takes, and we won't stop until we get it. >> reporter: we don't know who's on the witness list for later this morning. we know donald williams, the man who described chauvin's choke, will be first to finish his testimony before being cross-examined. at some point prosecutors will call the police of police to testify that the knee on the neck is not a normal police maneuver. this testimony will be highly
7:07 am
unusual because he's testifying against one of his own former officers, gayle. >> jamie, thank you very much. alexis hogue joins us now to share her perspective on the trial and police reform. a former civil rights and criminal defense attorney who spoke about the need for police reform after george floyd's death. she's currently a lecturer at columbia law school. good morning, alexis. >> good morning, gayle. how are you? >> i'm hanging in there. this is one of those cases where it's worse than you thought. we thought 8:46 was bad. now we know 9:29, which is beyond description and disturbing. they played the full tape for the jury yesterday. what kind of impact do you think that will have? >> it will have a strong impact. this is a case in which the jurors will be focused on the evidence presented in the courtroom and, of course, as lay people, we've seen this video. it is striking to us during jury selection, we learned not every juror has seen the video and now they have. here we are on the same page
7:08 am
with the jurors. and we learned new evidence in the opening three witnesses that came forward from the state. this is by no means, though, an open and closed case. >> i think that's an important point to make. you look at that video, some call it a slam dunk. the first witness was 91 is operator who effectively called police and police. we heard the mixed martial artist guy also talking, pleading with police. still despite that, experts are saying this is no guarantee and they're referring to the rodney king case. what do you say? >> exactly. and that's where my thoughts went immediately. i am from southern california. i remember that video and, of course, the acquittal that happened in ventura county. i think that is relevant today. what the defense told us is they will be descentering this case away from derek chauvin. instead they're going to be looking at the training and policies of the minneapolis police department, and also the chaos and the threats that came
7:09 am
from the crowd is the way they characterized it. >> we keep hearing now the police chief is expected to testify against one of his officers, highly, highly, highly unusual. what effect will that have on this particular case? >> it has a significant impact. what's on trial here is really the use of force, legality of the use of force and appropriateness of the use of force, so when you have a police chief saying that this knee to the neck technique is not approved, that provides some additional context. however, i want to make clear to our viewers, gayle, the knee to the neck is an allowable use of force in minneapolis. it was removed from many police departments in minnesota, but it is allowed as a use of force in this city. so this will be a critical witness. >> they say prosecutor opened very strong. he said you can believe what your eyes are telling you, this was a case of murder. we will see. the jury, of course, will have the final say on that. alexis hogue, we thank you very much for joining us this
7:10 am
morning. now to some remarkable progress in the fight against covid. monk more than 95 million americans have received one dose so far, and the biden administration said 90% of adult should be eligible for the vaccine in less than teehr weeks. however, the biden administration is also sounding an alarm that another surge in cases may be on the way. ed o'keefe reports now from the white house. >> i'm going to pause here. i'm going to lose the script. >> reporter: cdc director dr. rochelle walensky with a stark warning as covid-19 cases are up 11% over the past week. >> and i'm going to reflect on the recurring scaling i have of impending doom. we have so much to look forward to, so much promise and potential of where we are, and so much reason for hope but right now, i'm scared. >> reporter: at a time when millions are on the road for spring break, walensky and president biden are discouraging nonessential travel. the president is once again calling on mayors and governors to reinstate masked mandates.
7:11 am
>> please, this is not politics. reinstate the mandate if you let it down. and businesses should require masks as well. >> reporter: at least eight states have dropped masks and social distance restrictions in the last weeks with no signs of reversing course. meanwhile, the biden administration said it's not taking the lead on so-called vaccine passports or certificates now in use in new york, china and europe. there's concern about americans having access to the technology needs and patient privacy. >> the government here is is not viewing its role as the place to create a passport, nor a place to hold the data of citizens. >> reporter: that's because officials know many americans won't want the government or private companies tracking your vaccination data. florida's republican governor ron desantis. >> it's completely unacceptable for either the government or the private sector to impose upon
7:12 am
you the requirement that you show proof of vaccine to for society. >> reporter: today here at the white house the president is set to sign an extension of the paycheck protection program, eligible businesses now have until may 31st to apply for aid. and the cdc is extending the federal moratorium on evictions through the end of june to help those that need a little more assistance. adriana? >> ed, thank you. dr. michael osterholm joins us now, the center for infectious disease research and policy at the university of minnesota. good morning, doctor. we heard the cdc director say she really pleaded with americans to do something to stem these cases. if we continue down this path of really relaxing our behavior, how bad do you think it could get? >> we have unfortunately a
7:13 am
roadmap of what it could be look. look what's happening in the european countries. you have many countries in total lockdowns and still seeing challenges, even with the vaccination, with the new variant, b.1.1.7, the original recently seen in the united kingdom, this is a virus 70% to 100% more infectious than the previous covid-19, more than 50% to 60% likely to cause severe disease. given we have still over 50% of our population in this country that is still susceptible to this virus, this is a real challenge. >> the president yesterday said he expects 90% of americans to be eligible for the vaccine within three weeks. of course, that's great news but people are still having trouble getting appointments. how do you think that this increase in eligibility will impact the timeline, especially given how hard it is to still get a shot? >> i give the administration great credit for everything they're doing now to get as much vaccine out of the manufacturing area into people's arms. that is very, very good news.
7:14 am
the problem is we're still talking about vaccinating 2.7 million to 3 million people a day. but remember, that's really only half that number because those are people also coming back to get their second dose. so when you're only vaccinated 1.85 million people a day, it will take a long time. i worry opening up vaccination to everyone, which we all want to do, we all want to do that, means we're still not getting to the high-risk people that need vaccine that now are being basically in the competition to get it. for example, there's still 15 million americans 65 years of age and older, a group highest risk for severe disease, have not been vaccinated yet. that's what we need to be concentrated on right now. >> really good point to focus on. now for vaccine passports, we just heard ed's piece that they're controversial. where do you stand on this? >> first of all, we're going to do something. the world is going to do something. people do want to know if you're
7:15 am
going to get on a plane, if you're going to go into a restaurant, if you're going to go into public place, do i feel confident the person sitting next to me is not likely infected with the virus? so whether the governments want them or not, i'm convinced you're going to see them eventually be part of our everyday lives. so now what we need to do is figure out how to do it safely, fairly and effectively as we can. and so i think the administration is doing a good job of at least laying out criteria for private sector companies. remember, when i go to the airport today to get on a plane, if i do do that, i get my eyeballs screened by a private company that determines that i'm the one that is actually there to get on that plane. i think you're going to see more private companies getting involved with guidance o government. but i don't see government itself doing the passports. >> dr. michael osterholm, thank you. new york city police are investigating two brutal new attacks on asian americans. there's video, and you know what's coming next. we need to warn you, it is
7:16 am
extremely disturbing. both attacks are being investigated as hate crimes and as part of a very concerning trend during this pandemic. nancy chen has more on this story. pandemic. nancy chen has more on the story. >> reporter: in surveillance video taken from an apartment building the 65-year-old asian woman is seen walking before a man suddenly appears and violently strikes her causing her to fall to the ground. he then repeatedly stomps here, striking her multiple times to the head before causally walking away. a nearby security guard inside the bidding appears to do nothing while the brutal attack occurred. the staff who witnessed the attack have been suspended pending an investigation. according to the management company. police say the attacker made anti-asian statements towards the woman. our new york station wcbs reported the man shouted "you don't belong here" before running away. the woman is hospitalized with serious injuries and police are still looking for the suspect. the new york police department's hate crime unit is also
7:17 am
investigating this attack on a attack police believe is asian. social media video shows the man being pummeled on the subway before being placed in a choke hold by his attacker and left unconscious. police are still trying to track down the suspect and the victim. nationally, more than 3500 hate incidents toward asian americans have been recorded since the start of the pandemic. that's according to one advocacy group. >> it's really terrible how every single day there seems to be another incident. >> reporter: dozens gathered in new york city monday night for a candlelight vigil honoring the victims in the atlanta area spa shootings where six asian women were killed, for solidarity of all victims of hate. >> we're just starting to learn how >> mork police show 31 hate crimes so far this year but admits hate crimes against asian
7:18 am
americans have long gone underreported. starting this week undercover asian american cops will be walking around the streets to be helping with hate crimes and response. >> nancy, thank you. you look at the video, and it's atrocious. i expect more from the security guard who appeared to close the door. somebody knows those two guys. somebody knows those two guys and now is the time to turn them in. unacceptable. >> with so much awareness on attacks, you would think people are thinking about this and these attacks would reduce, not still happen. >> but you know what's scary, guys, people are so afraid to intervene they would much rather sit, they're afraid for their own lives. >> if you saw it, say something. if you see it, say it. >> you can't just let that go. ahead -- outdated safety rules endanger your families. cbs news investigates how some front seats can collapse

8:12 am
several minutes of weightlessness on the journey. the company expects the first launch to be early next year. that's the current estimate. tickets have sold for $250,000. but that price is likely to go up. first, on "cbs this morning," virgin group founder sir richard branson joins us with virgin galactic ceo michael colglazier, good morning to both of you. i as a member of the public are very excited at the prospect of traveling into space. my first question to you, sir richard branson, this has been about a ten-year effort. maybe even more. this is space ship 3. how is this designed know, whatd love -- what i envision as a spaceship would look like.
8:13 am
and i think that the "ss imagine" is exactly what i'd like it to look like. the engineering team has done a fantastic job. it's lighter than "ss unity." you can see it's crafted with chrome, so when it's in space, it will reflect back to earth. and kids watching the spaceship from earth will be able to see it -- see -- some bouncing of it. and, yeah, it's -- it's tremendously exciting. it's been a long journey to get this far. but we've got an incredible few months of milestones ahead. >> and for people at home thinking how much do i have in the piggyback. for that $250,000 ticket price what do you get exactly? what is the experience? >> well, first of all, i think in the years to come the price
8:14 am
will come down, i mean, in short, it tended to go up and people who can afford it can help us fund what's not an inexpensive operation, but in the long term, the price will come down. and hopefully, a lot of people watching this program will be able to go to space. but you know, what they'll do, they'll climb into most likely either the "ss unity" or "ss imag imagine." they'll be taken up to the mother ship, about up to 35,000 feet. they'll be dropped, in the rocket, go north to 300 miles an hour and in space, they'll be able to unbuckle and float around. have massively big windows that they'll be able to look out of and look back at this beautiful
8:15 am
earth. and they'll become astronauts. and they'll have, i think, the ride of a lifetime in the craft, in one of the most beautiful craft ever built. >> i think it's fair to say it is a gorgeous spaceship. i want to go to michael now. i'm interested in having gayle king become an astronaut one day. my question for you, the date for people going up in the spacecraft has been pushed ahead to early 2022. it's been a process, as richard pointed out. how confident are you as 2022 as being the actual go-date for people launching? >> so four flights that we've announced. we're planning to get back to space in mexico in may. following that flight, we have two fully crewed flights. the first will be internal mission specialists and the following one, we'll have richard join us.
8:16 am
and showcase what the experience is going to be and who better than richard to demonstrate that. and another flight with the italian air force that will showcase the scientific capabilities. then as you said, when we get into '22, we expect to open up to all of the private astronauts to go. following the flight with richard in the summer, we plan to open up sales again, looking forward to people, able to sign up and come to space with us. >> michael, what i'm really asking is how long do i have to convince gayle king to spring for a ticket and become a private astronaut, gayle, do you have a question? >> i do. richard, as you said, it's a ride of a lifetime. i am curious of the price, you said it's going to go down and be affordable. what's your definition of affordable. curious, do you have a number on that yet? >> well -- >> well, we don't have the numbers but our plan is to build
8:17 am
a number of spaceships. so we could maybe get up to 400, 500 flights a year. and then we will try to get it down to a price where as many people as possible are able to go up. but i think i won't forecast exactly how low we'll be able to get it otherwise would buy the tickets today. >> at the higher cost. >> michael, as you know, jeff bezos is watching, does he have something to worry about? >> well, you know, i think it's really important that the idea of going to space starts to get normalized. because it's not something that people are used to doing. and we're excited for a lot of people to go into space and make that something that everybody see as something they're aspiring to. i think we'll have a really unique focus on owning our part of space. and that will be really on the people themselves and heir ability to look back to the planet. we're excited for the blue origin folks but we're confident what we have is unique.
