where we live and breathe. >> let's appreciate it later on with a walk. how about that? >> let's do it. >> love that. >> have a great da everyone you. welcome to our viewers on the west coast on this earth day, april 22, 2021. i'm gayle king with anthony mason and tony dokoupil. what the alternate juror said left her to conclude the former officer is guilty. the federal government launches an investigation into whether there's a pattern of discrimination and excessive force in the minneapolis police department. why it puts law enforcement nationwide on notice. on this earth day, we look at the challenges facing our planet, including how to build offshore wind farms to generate power and one of the greatest threats to clean water.

here's a hint -- it's us. we will also hear from those trying to help including cher and climate activist greta thunberg. >> there's nobody like cher or greta. but, first, here's today's "eye opener." it's your world in 90 seconds. >> the justice department announces an investigation into the minneapolis police department, following former officer derek chauvin's murder conviction. >> to undertake this task with determination and urgency knowing that change cannot wait. >> protesters taking to the streets in columbus, ohio, after a policeofficer there opened fire and kills a teenage girl armed with a knife. >> she had a knife. just went at her. our president joe biden just announced a big goal in cutting greenhouse gas emissions. >> and a goal of not just 200 million vaccine doses saying if you're waiting for your turn, wait no longer. >> our objective is to meet

everyone. a snowplow slams into a truck. and a puppy saves her puppy pal drowning in a swimming pool. >> that is terrifying! it was a milestone day for queen elizabeth. the eldest monarch celebrated her 95th birthday. >> she will celebrate her traditional way, absolutely smashing her high score at skee-ball at dave & buster's. that's what she said. >> on "cbs this morning." president biden announced a tax credit for busineses offering vaccine-related paid leave. >> patty young owns a hair salon in springfield, ohio. when they leave the saloon -- the salon. they may be going to a saloon. >> they may be going to a saloon. i stop there after the black smith and take the cobbler home,

all for naka nickel! > >> that's a fun word actually. >> but it is patty young's salon. now i think a lot of people want to go there to see what she's going on. welcome to "cbs this morning." we're going to begin with a unique perspective on the trial. lisa christianson is her name. she was an alternate juror. that means she did not have a role in the verdict but she did sit through every minute. trial as prosecutors and defense each made their case. christianson spoke to jamie yuccas. she told you even though she wasn't part of the decision, she came to her conclusions. >> good morning, yes, she did. she was happy with the decision to convict derek chauvin after weeks of hard testimony but said she was reluctant to be on the

jury when she was first called up. you didn't want to be on the jury? >> i was worried about, you know, whatever the verdict may be, some people felt strongly on one side. other people felt strongly on the other side. so no matter what i, i felt like somebody wasn't going to be happy. >> would you have decided any differently than this jury did? >> i -- i felt he was guilty. they read the jury instructions to us in the courtroom briefly. i didn't know if it would be guilty on all counts but i would have said guilty. >> what led you to that decision? >> i think the prosecution made a really good, strongll did it for me. he explained everything where i understood it, down to where he said this is the moment where he lost his life really got to me. >> who made an impact with the defense? the defense?

good or bad? made an impact? >> i don't think they had a good impact. i think he overpromised in the beginning and didn't live up to what he said he was going to do. >> reporter: what were your first impressions of derek chauvin? >> every time i would look up, he was right in my vision. so we locked eyes quite a few times. and i was pretty uncomfortable. >> reporter: was there anything about him when you started seeing the videos and the pictures that struck you about him? >> i felt like he was a leader and other officers were following his lead. i kind of felt like he wasn't taking the warnings seriously, obviously. kind of like i know what i'm doing. >> reporter: which witnesses stood out to you? >> miss frazier that took the video. i really felt that she felt do she feels responsible in a way. and i feel really bad for her. i commend her on taking the video because without her, i

don't think this would have been possible. so -- >> reporter: had you ever seen the 9.5 minutes of video before? >> no. i seen -- i seen the video two or three times, but i didn't see it in its entirety because i only saw it on the news. >> reporter: what was it like to have to watch it over and over and over again in court? >> it was -- it was emotional. i think my eyes teared up a couple of times. so especially seeing it from different angles and things. >> reporter: do you feel like that's going to impact you for a while? >> i do. so -- >> reporter: in what way? >> well, i just don't understand how it got from a counterfeit $20 bill to a death. it -- it kindf shocks me. >> reporter: lisa lives in brooklyn center, the city where duante wright was shot by a police officer nearly two weeks ago. she told me those protests did not play into her decision about chauvin being guilty in her

mind. wright will be laid to rest today, and the floyd family will be there. anthony? >> and obviously lisa christianson took her responsibility very seriously. thank you. federal civil rights lawyers are on the ground in minneapolis this morning as part of a sweeping new investigation into the city's police department. u.s. attorney general merrick garland says the department of justice is looking into whether there's a larger pattern of discrimination and excessive use of force far beyond the george floyd case. jeff pegues is in minneapolis. jeff, what can you tell us about this investigation? >> reporter: well, it's really, anthony, going to put a focus, a microscope on the minneapolis pd and the third pre-sing here behind me or -- precinct here behind me or what's left of it. this is where derek chauvin once worked. during the protests, it was torched. >> we undertake this task with determination and urgency knowing that change cannot wait. >> reporter: the u.s. attorney general says the probe will look

into whether the minneapolis police department engages in unlawful policing including discrimination. >> it will include a comprehensive review of the minneapolis police department's policies, training, supervision, and use of force investigations. >> reporter: after george floyd's death, vandals torched the third precinct where derek chauvin worked. minneapolis police chief medaria arradondo acknowledged that precinct had a reputation during an interview last year. what kind of reputation does the third precinct have? >> i've heard that the third precinct has an attitude. >> the minneapolis police department has long been known to be trouble. >> reporter: christy lopez led the doj investigation into the ferguson police department after the deadly shooting of michael brown in 2014. >> incidents like george floyd's killing and officers like derek chauvin don't exist in a vacuum. they are allowed to persist because the culture supports

that or allows that. >> reporter: pattern or practice investigations of police departments were largely put on hold during the trump administration. they conducted just one compared to the 25 during the two terms of the obama administration. >> it makes me very, very happy -- >> reporter: george floyd's younger sister bridgett hopes meaningful police reform will be part of her brother's legacy. >> we know that we will never get him back. that's the sad part about it. but we have rejoiced in the end because things are going to be put in position to change. >> reporter: this federal pattern or practice investigation could take a year or longer to complete. meanwhile, there is renewed pressure on lawmakers around the country to come to a deal on police reform after chauvin's conviction. tony? >> jeff, thank you very much. the prosecution team that led the case against derek chauvin has called the verdict a step toward justice. minnesota attorney general keith

ellison spoke with "60 minutes'" scott pelley for his first and only interview since derek chauvin's convictin. >> there was one question that has gone unanswered in the trial and in the jury verdict, a question that even the video couldn't answer, and that is the question of motive. why? why would this officer assault george floyd? >> well, that's a question we spent a lot of time asking ourselves. and all we could come up with is what we could divine from his body language and his demeanor, and what we saw is that the crowd was demanding that he get up, and that he was staring right back at them defiantly. you don't tell me what to do. i do what i want to do. you people have no control over me. i'm going to show you.

i also think that, you know, george floyd was treated that way because he was -- he was suffering from anxiety and claustrophobia, cooperated with the police in every way until they tried to make him take his 6'4" body and jam it into a very tight space in that car. and he -- he kind of freaked out. and i think the fact that he was not complying -- i wouldn't call what he did resisting. i would call it he wasn't complying because he was having an emotional reaction to getting into that car. even after he ended up on the other side of the car, he said thank you to them, and he would have been -- they just -- i think what happened is you do exactly what we tell you to do when we tell you to do it. no excuses. and it's really an exertion of authority rather than trying to say, look, the job of a police officer is to deal with people who are not having their best day. so i think about motive.

we weren't required to prove motive. but wha i saw is somebody who just put ego before policing. m keith ellison this sunday on "60 minutes." on the question of motive, they didn't have to prove it, but they did point out that it wasn't fear of the crowd, which is what the defense said, but pride and ego which it seems like ellison is echoing those remarks. >> as they pointed out in the trial, the crowd actually which did not advance on the police officers was respectful of their authority. >> yes. >> they were questioning what they were doing, but they didn't in any way intervene. >> it makes me want to see everything that keith ellison has to say. he's been g kudos from the prosecutorial team he put together. he put the team together to make the case. >> with two outsiders from private practice. go a good job. >> really very effective. we are learning new details about another deadly encounter with police, this time in

columbus, ohio. an officer killed a 16-year-old police body cam video released hours after t sho sho hundreds marched yesterday in protest. our lead national correspondent, david begnaud, has a crucial 11 seconds of video before the sho shooting. it's graphic and very disturbing to see. >> hey. >> my mom -- >> what's going on? what's going on? hey? hey! hey! get down! get down! get down! get down! [ gunshots ] >> reporter: we'll play it again. this video shows officer nicholas reardon arriving at the scene. he asks what's going on and then -- [ gunshots ] reardon fired four shots at ma'khia bryant who police say was armed with a knife and was about to stab that girl in the pink. >> she had a knife. she went at her. >> reporter: here's the 911 call that led police to the scene. >> we got -- got thesels

trying to f yioreosadn't they have shot the leg. d t p be idaer. >> i ma'khia's mother. >> this never should have happened. she's a loving girl. >> reporter: within six hours of the shooting, police released this video which is unusually fast. this rapid response comes after the death of andre hill, an newsrooan national black man shot and killed four months ago. coy did not turn on his body camera until after he shot hill, and he never rendered aid to him. he was required, charged with murder, and pleaded not guilty. now compare that to this shooting where three responding officers had their body cameras on when they arrived and they started performing cpr almos right away. >> these cameras and the footage increase accountability on both sides of the camera. >> reporter: that's the columbus mayor andrew ginther.

he campaigned on a promise to implement body cameras and the department started doing it back in 2016. this week for this shooting, he pushed for the footage to be released. were you worried that it might be too risky to do that, jeopardize the investigation? >> i trust the public, and i trust this community. i think what's most important is to be transparent as possible. particularly when you're dealing with a very high-profile shooting involving a 16-year-old child. >> reporter: the officer who fired those fatal shots is on paid administrative leave this morning. that's pretty customary after an officer-involved shooting. and anthony, you know, here in columbus, it's now an order for police officers to turn on their body cameras for call. doesn't matter if it's an emergency, nonemergency, you h

enforced but many of these changes could only be made if pat's all part of the strategy here at the white house.

the announcement came at the start of a two-day virtual climate chiang summit with about 40 world leaders attending. chinese president xi jinping was among the first to speak, notable given the rocky u.s./china relations the past few months but they signed the agroemt vowing to work together for climate change. this is proving to be one of the most high-stakes meeting in the history of zoom but they understand the gravity of the situation and vowing at least publicly to work together. this morning they were expected to hear from pope francis, who has spoken out frequently for the need for the world to address climate change. >> ed, the history of zoom meetings, i hope it is a relatively short history all-told. and there are costs, of course, to addressing climate change, but we have to remember there are costs to doing nothing as well. we will talk more about that ahead in the show. ahead, an important source of water pollution we walk on every day. at every level of government, this is not a secret?

>> not a secret. >> why is it not a scandal? >> because most people don't know about it. >> we go out on the water to show you how runoff from roads and parking lots can damage our environment.

welcome back to "cbs this morning." as we cover the 51st earth day here at cbs news, you've probably noticed that a lot of the world is covered in proem t. whenever it rains. take a look at the blue areas on this map right here. it's where we find places where the rain cannot be absorbed into the ground where it falls. instead, it runs off the pavement and into nearby water ways carrying pollutants like fertilizer, oil, pesticides, and bacteria. in many places, it also forces raw sewage to spill into the water. there is good news we're happy to report. we found a lot of people working to fix this problem.

on a windy day north of new york city -- >> this is a magnificent, majestic river. >> reporter: john lipscomb helped a landlubber go to his favorite waterway. is it flowing that way or that way? >> it's going that way. >> reporter: as a member of river keeper, he's been patrolling the hudson river for decades, marveling that salt water from the ocean flows up but worrying about what's flowing in every time rains. >> bottlecaps, cigarette butts, that's a visual indicator of what the storm water has carried off the streets, into the river. >> reporter: it's what we can't see that's the bigger concern. we watched as columbia university researcher elise myers took samples nearby. >> when we have a lot of these areas where the water just runs straight off it can carry whatever's on here. trash but also chemicals and things like that, and in urban areas where you have the high concentration, something to be worried about. >> reporter: the epa calls

polluted runoff one of the greatest threats to clean water. here on the hudson -- >> marshes are critical to ecosystems. when we think about wetlands in general -- >> reporter: myers had us standing ankle deep in something you can describe with one word or many. >> but here i'm seeing a lot of bacteria that usually we only find inside the guts of warm-blooded animals like ourselves. when we find them in the water, it's an indication that we have some sort of sewage contamination. >> reporter: what you're telling me is the toilets have a way of ending up at least in part here. >> yes, unfortunately. there's definitely a way that something you have flushed down, some of those bacteria can end up out here. >> reporter: she says rain can overwhelm sewage treatment plants. in nearly 800 cities across the u.s., raw sewage overflows into the water by design in a downpour. low cities have what are known as combined sewer systems are, where the stuff that goes down our drains at home mixes with the stuff that washes off our

streets when it rains instead of backing up into our homes. those systems can release a mix of sewage and pollutedrm water. as we travel down into new york city, john lipscomb, a riverkeeper, showed us some of the hundreds of points in this area alone where sewage enters the water. >> the opening under the wall there, that's a combined sewer overflow. >> reporter: they have a sign up -- >> it's permanent. the city said this is what we must do because we can't do better, and the state okays in, those are state permits. and the epa knows it, and the epa is, of course, the federal agency that oversees all the states. >> reporter: at every level of government, this is not a secret. >> not a secret. >> reporter: why is it not a scandal? >> because most people don't know about it. >> reporter: yet it is something the new york city department of environmental protection is working to address. look at that. deputy commissioner angela licata showed how the city is trying to keep water out of the system with surfaces that can

absorb more of it into the ground. >> this synthetic turf here is designed to hold about a million gallons of storm water a year. >> reporter: without these changes, all that would have run over the regular old road and ended up in the drain. >> exactly. >> reporter: the city is also redirecting storm water into thousands of tiny rain gardens designed to soak up runoff. it's built massive tanks that can old tens of millions of gallons of sewage that would otherwise spill into the water. it spent billions on these projects and seen some results. the amount of combined sewage overflow has dropped 26% since 2008, and more than 80% since the 1980s. >> it's been a tremendous improvement. now it's finishing the job. >> reporter: it's clean enough now for many here to get out and enjoy it, at least in dry weather. how was the water? >> so much fun. >> reporter: but even if it doesn't make you sick --

>> couldn't say anything bad about it. we got sprayed a lot. >> reporter: finding out that 20 billion gallons of sewage still gets released here every year could make anyone think twice. is 20 billion good enough for you guys? >> could be better. 20 billion sounds like a lot. >> reporter: as environmental leaders figure out how to stop toxins from entering the water -- >> we're heading over to our oyster reef cabinets -- >> reporter: people like robina taliaferrow are working on a way to clean up what's already here. she's part of the billion oyster project, installing oyster reefs in new york harbor. >> what they do, they help clear the water. >> reporter: a single adult oyster can filter 50 gallons of water every day. >> they will pull out of the water those particles, those things -- >> reporter: the you know what. >> yes. the you know what. they will pull that and actually create like a casing and drop it to the bottom of the water column. >> reporter: they help. >> they help. they help to a certain degree.

>> reporter: but john lipscomb says a complete fix will require more money, a that means more pressure fromhe publ. we've got a dri ound on mars the moon. don't tell me this can't be done. >> wow. >> makes a good point. >> i feel his passion, tony. >> he's got a lot of passion. here's the problem -- all the cities that have been built in america, you can't just lift them up on a crane and change all the plumbing. that's the issue. it would cost billions of dollars to do it. and it's all funded by sewer and water rates which have been going up and people can't afford them. >> right. >> we're stuck. >> i'm encouraged that we've come as far as we have. i didn't realize we'd made that much progress. >> it's billions in other cities, as well. >> i'm thinking every time you flush your toilet, where that stuff goes. i didn't know where it went. >> it's when it rains -- they have a choice, it backs up into your home when no one wants or goes out into the water. >> i don't want that. >> no. >> had to use a plunger the other day.

it ain't pretty. >> i didn't see that post on instagram. >> no. and you won't. coming up, we're getting ready for another spacex rocket launch carrying astronauts to the international space station. why this mission will make history. we'll be right back. we do it every night. like clockwork. do it! run your dishwasher with cascade platinum. and save water. did you know certified dishwashers... ...use less than four gallons per cycle,

after a one-day weather delay, spacex is scheduled to launch four astronauts to the international space station tomorrow morning. here is a live look at launchpad

39a at the kennedy space center in florida. the mission is set to make history. mark strassmann is near the launchpad to tell us why. mark, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, anthony. let me show you something that's never been seen before on a rocket that's about to launch astronauts. take a look at the bottom of the rocket, that black stuff covering the first stage, that is soot which means that this rocket has flown before. and that's not all. so has the capsule that the four astronauts will be riding inside. it's the first time that both will be reused to fly people. another milestone for a company that's already revolutionizing space travel. >> splashdown. here w a time when splashdown meant a museum for a crude space capsule. not anymore. >> welcome back to planet earth. thanks for flying spacex. >> reporter: this dragon capsule charred like a marshmallow flew

the first crew last summer. with a new heat shield and parachutes, spacex is set to fly people in it again. its next passengers this international crew of veteran astronauts including two americans. >> ignition, liftoff. >> reporter: spacex will also reuse the first-stage booster of this rocket from its last crude flight attendant in november. by landing and reflying its boosters, spacex has driven down the cost of launching satellites and cargo. flowing people on used hardware required nasa's okay. >> so we went through a pretty exhaustive process with spacex to look at what we needed to refurbish on those systems and go and do engineering review to make sure they're safe to fly. >> at least it did the job it was designed for once, and everything worked fine the first time around. >> reporter: tomorrow's crew is confident the hardware will work just as well the second time around. >> i think you have to be an optimist if you're going to be

an nauastronaut. if you think of everything that could go wrong, it's a long list and you're not going to sleep much at night. >> reporter: this was megan mcarthurer working on the hubble in 2009. her confident returning to space tomorrow in a used capsule runs deep. >> i know somebody that i trust completely was really involved in developing this vehicle. >> reporter: that somebody is fellow astrona behnken, her husband. on that very first spacex flight last summer, behnken flew in the same crew dragon capsule. in fact, sat in the very same seat that his wife will ride into space. >> it is funny to me that sometimes i'll start asking questions of the trainers and they'll say, you know, your husband had the same set of questions for us. >> reporter: is he going to leave you a note? >> i'm not sure. i think there's any chewed up gum under the seat i'll know where it came from. >> reporter: the weather forecast is looking good for lift-off tomorrow. set for 5:49 eastern time, 5:49 in the morning. the crew will dock with the space station, gayle, on

saturday morning. >> that is very cool. thank you very much, mark. we all remember when her husband went up. >> that's right. >> i love that they're thinking alike when she said, you know, your husband asked the same question. i like that. >> i love the whole story. >> they keep talking about the used hardware, though. >> i know. >> there may be gum under the seat. but it still flies. >> they know what they're doing. we are certainly cheering them on. coming up next, we're always cheering him on, that's vlad duthiers. he's got the stories we think you'll be talking

you are you're correct. s the earth day. thursday, april 22nd, 2021. welcome back to "cbs this morning." president biden has big plans ahead of the glo'l yout there ad w amicans feel about them. and how the pandemic contains lessons to save the planet. and we'll go on an amazing journey with cher and her quest to save a lonely elephant. how a mission that started on twitter took her to the other side of the world. >> cher looks good even saving elephants. first, here's today's eye opener at 8:00 and some of the climate

stories we've been covering so far. rising sea levels among the most visible effects of climate change. we also know that the rate the waters are rising is speeding up. it shows us that we think we know what's going on in the natural world. a documentary shows the way nature flourished as humans went into lockdown. >> we only stopped for a few months and suddenly the natural world went on. in 2001 to 2016 the u.s. lost acres of farmland. >> we're talking we need to figure this out. >>a lot covered in pavement. that's creating a problem whenever it rains. but there is good news we're happy to report. we found a lot of people working to fix this problem. >> we've got a vehicle diving around on mars and we've walked on the moon. don't tell me this can't be

done. >> president biden announced an ambitious goal to put america's greenhouse gas emissions over the next nine years. >> you know what i think? if biden wants to do this, if he wants to get rid of hot air, you know where he should start? congress. yeah. >> james is waiting to deliver that line. welcome back to "cbs this morning" on this earth day. we take it very seriously. i'm wearing my earth day dress. it represents water. >> is that it? >> yes. >> i thought it looked kind of like the planet earth from above. >> yes and there's a tree and a couple things going on. it's serious here. >> yes. >> and that's why we're dedicating this hour to the pressing topic of climate change calling it eye on earth. it's our planet in peril. the threat to the planet comes in many forms. earth's average temperature is more than 2 degrees higher. the oceans have absorbed

heat. the arctic ocean is expected to become nearly ice free in summertime before mid century. >> sea levels are also rising because melting ice makes more water and sea water expands when it gets warmer. >> president biden has his eyes on climate change. this morning he's hosting a two-day global climate change summit to be held virtually. he's also laying out ambitious goals to cut greenhouse gas emissions putting the u.s. back in line with the paris climate agreement we withdrew from in the former administration. they call to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 50%. there's a goal of 2030. the poll out this morning says 53% of americans agree with the president's handling of climate change. a documentary premiering today looks at cher's amazing journey to rescue an asian

elephant who had been held in captivity more than three decades. cher and the loneliness elephant takes us inside her four-year fight to relocate the elephant from pakistan. from public gardens in the bronx, i spoke to cher, at her home in malibu. she became involved with the elephant after twitter followered appealed to her from help. she never expected she would travel to the other side of the world. >> it was really either i came or we weren't going to get him. >> they told you specifically if you didn't show up, it wasn't happening? >> yes. i think because no one thought i would show up including me. >> the elephant was hold in captivity for more than 30 years at zoo in islambad. but what does a super star

actress and pop singer know about saving an elephant? >> i kept saying you're just an entertainer. what are you doing? i mean, i really did keep saying to everybody, how am i going to do this? >> but you kept going? >> in my life i have had obstacles and i've just a kept going. >> and look where you ended up? >> yeah. islamabad during a pandemic. >> it was the elephant's story that convinced her to make the trip. he spent most of his life chained in a shed. the swaying motion, a sign of discretion after the loss of his partner in 2012. >> elephants are like us. they are really like us. they have the same emotions. they might be nicer than us. i'm sure they're nicer than us. >> the fight for freedom involved four years of legal battles and political lobbying. then last november at the peak of the pandemic, the moment

finally came. >> i kept going to everyone around me, are we really going? am i really going?and then we w one foot in front of another. i thought oh, my god, we're going. >> islamabad. >> cher set off on the nearly 8,000 mile journey to pakistan. >> good morning, cher. >> to meet up with the team led by a doctor of the animal welfare group, four paws international. >> doctor amir had done wonders with him. they were like pals walking around together. >> doctor amir introduced cher to the elephant. >> hello. >> he was very friendly and very sweet. and then we sang to him off key. it was terrible, but i don't think he noticed. he likes music. ♪ >> my favorite moment in the

film is when you sing a duet with dr. amir of sinatra. >> no. it was terrible. as an entertainer, i wanted to shoot myself. i kept thinking, this is going to be forever, cher. and then i thought oh, well, you're such a narcissist. shut up and sing. >> you seem to love it. singing also calmed the four-ton elephant as he was trained to become comfortable in a steel crate especially built for the roughly 25 00 mile flight to a wildlife sanctuary in cambodia. >> there was suspense about whether the plane would be able to fly with him. >> everybody was nervous. they were giving him sugar cane and water melon, his fair things. so he was calm. he was a miracle. >> cher was there to greet him when he arrived. >> there was one moment that's most special to you.

what was it? >> seeing his outline walking around the enclosure that i helped build. >> the elephant has space to roam, a pool to bathe in, and two female neighbors to keep him company. >> i said he's free. he's got a cool house and there's chicks. >> this is just the start. >> now that you've made this happen, what have you learned from it? >> i learned that i hadn't seen everything. i hadn't felt everything. >> it's amazing how quickly he seemed to rebound. >> it was unbelievable. i stood back and i just watched him walk from place to place and so curious. but not frightened. and felt so calm. and he'd just been through this ordeal. it was amazing to me. building that new enclosure cost several hundred thousand

dollars, and his plane ride alone cost a quarter of a million. cher's foundation "free the wild" "four paws international" and others helped cover the cost. as the documentary points out, cher's not the only hero in the story. it started when a doctor in 2015 who was a training vet went home to visit her parents in pakistan and saw the elephant and started a social media campaign which is what got to cher to begin with. >> yeah. she's not the only hero, but she certainly got the attention. she got the attention. >> and as she said, if she hadn't gone, this wouldn't have happened. in the middle of a pandemic. >> and she followed through. i thought it was interesting the swaying motion was depression. i always thought it was them being friendly. >> in this case, it was constant. it's really a nervous thing. because the elephant was chained constantly and alone like there's a pond in his cage in

the zoo, and there was no water in it. >> kudos to cher who said i'm going. >> and to the folks who got him into that crate for the flight. >> that was the real drama of the film. training him to be willing to go into that crate was a major undertaking. >> and apparently you fly with elephants like children. feed them snacks and get there. >> you're right about snacks and kids. it's for adults, too. ahead, more of our special earth day coverage.

ahead in our "eye on earth: our planet in our planet in peril. ben tracy takes a look at how the biden administration is counting on the win to help fight climate change. >> these five wind turbines provide almost all of the offshore wind power in the united states, but that's about to change big time with plans to install enough of these to power up to 10 million homes. that story is coming up on "cbs this morning." ns? prilos uses a unique delayed-release formula that works to turn down acid production, blocking heartburn at the source. with just one pill a day, you get 24-hour heartburn protection. take the prilosec otc two-week challenge. and see the difference for yourself. prilosec otc, 1 pill a day,

we are continuing our special "eye on earth: our planet in peril" series on this earth day, april 22nd. much of the electricity that powers the u.s. still comes from burning coal. generating that power accounts for 25% of our greenhouse gas emissions that are warming the planet. the biden administration wants to bring that number to net zero by 2035 by shifting to more renewable energy. a recent cbs news poll found that 46% of americans think while that goal is unrealistic. our senior environental correspondent, ben tracy, joins us from sparrows point, maryland, to show once source of renewable energy that the administration is really counting on. ben, good morning to you. >> reporter: gayle, good morning. so we're talking about offshore wind, and that is exactly what it sounds like. you build giant windne shore way out the oc p balmore harbor, and the hope is this is going to become part of a hub that will support a massive

expansion of the offshore wind industry in the u.s. which right now is pretty darn small. the blades on these 300-foot-tall wind turbines gently bow in the breeze as if part of some elaborate industrial ballet. there are just seven operating offshore wind turbines in u.s. wars. these are five of them. basically this is offshore wind in this country right now. >> yeah. you could say that. >> reporter: david hardy is the north american ceo of orsted, a wind power giant based in denmark. he took us out on the bright blue waters off the coast of rhode island to see the first and still largest offshore wind farm in the united states. it is cool to see it up close. hardy says the u.s. is way behind europe where large offshore wind farms have been used for decades. europe's offshore wind farms produce nearly 25,000 megawatts o por. china's about 10,000 megawatts.

here in the u.s., we produce 42. 42. >> 42. so not 4,200. not 42,000. 42 flat. we've got a ways to go to catch up. >> reporter: the biden administration wants offshore wind ain u.s. waters to produce 30,000 megawatts of power by 2030, enough to supply more than ten million homes. so how many homes in the u.s. can be powered by offshore wind right now? >> well, this wind farm powers about 17,000 homes here in rhode island. >> reporter: and all of them are here on block island which was powered entirely by diesel fuel until 2016 when those big white blades started spinning off its shores. >> used to burn a million glance a year. >> reporter: sven lives on the island and is one of the very few americans whose power comes from offshore wind. >> doesn't get much better. we're capturing wind that we have here all the time. >> reporter: the biden administration plans to speed up permitting for new projects in federal waters, mostly along the

eastern seaboard. an ideal setting thanks to a combination of strong, steady wind, shallow water which makes installing the towers easier, and dense population centers that need power. >> this is one of the best areas in the world. some have thought that saudi arabia -- >> reporter: the saudi arabia of offshore wind? i hadn't heard that one. lars peterson of vineyard wind which plans to install 62 of these giant ge wind turbines by 2023, about 15 miles off martha's vineyard. th wm would provide clean electricity to more than 400,000 homes and businesses in massachusetts. >> the blades are more than 300 feet long. so longer than a football field. every two spins of the blades you can power a home for one day. so it's really, reallyimsi>>ept impressed. some coastal homeowners have complained the turbines will ruin their views, and fishermen argds and nigatin around the giant towers.

but the white house is moving ahead, claiming the offshore wind industry will employ more than 44,000 americas by 2030. >> this has already transformed our business. >> reporter: tiara strum owns a welding company in baltimore. the company was hired to work on this massive port facility in maryland built to service the future offshore wind industry. what did that project mean for your company? >> it allowed us to purchase 20,000 square-foot facility, and it allowed us to create eight full-time jobs. >> reporter: this was real money. >> this was real money. >> reporter: and she's hoping more of it will blow her way now that those five turbines

>> i was going to say that i know a lot of peoplhot of blocking the view, thinking, what kind of view is it blocking exactly? >> they're like giant works of art really. >> that's the way i feel. >> i do, too. >> and the job creation is also impressive. the welding company in maryland. >> yeah. >> coal jobs may go away to some arereif. he onth ter a's jobs that will pop up. >> i like how ben said he hose more business blows tiara's way. we are pulling for tiara and her business. nicely done. >> thanks to ben tracy. we'll have continuing coverage of this earth day all day on cbs news from our streaming service cbsn to the cbs "evening news" and digital platforms.

welcome back to "cbs this morning." it's that time again, time to bring you some of the stories that are the "talk of the table" this morning. and gayle king is up first. >> i love that music. ♪ number one. makes me happy every time i hear it. >> like a roadtrip is coming. >> i love that. my story is about hair. wait until you hear this story. it's being called sexist and racist policy at a school in troy, texas. i'm gnashing my teeth. a boy received an in-school suspension because of the way his hair -- >> look at that. >> it's braided. it's braided. this little boy, there is maddux, he is a biracial biracial student. his mom is white, his dad is black. and his mom hope said that little maddux wanted to grow his hair out to try various

hairstyles to honor his african heritage. you think, okay, that's good. school officials at the raymond mayes school said she had to cut her hair and decided to shave the sides of his head and braid the hair on the top of his head. that was still considered a violation of dress code policy. so this is maddux's mom. >> i expect today to be the last day my son ever has to spend in iss for his hair. >> he got a ten-day in-school suspension. >> geez. >> they said -- and counting. they said that this is all about rules. they said this is not racist. this is about rules. and the rules they have a dress policy that specifically forbid boys from wearing hair in a ponytail, top knot bun, or similar styles, according to the student handbook. this is all about the rules. let's hear the father at the school board meeting. >> follow the rule. i don't like driving 70 miles per hour down i-35, but i do it.

you know why? because it's a rule. >> now this is the thing -- you know, we've heard about these storieboy peopl color, where yoe judged by your hair. there's -- the issue of hair description is being heard right now -- discrimination is being heard now in the house of representatives, the crown act, that would prevent discrimination against anyone based on hair texture or style. i totally get the rules. i get that. i also think that you also have to look at people's culture and their history. >> but here's why -- where that gentleman's point is off which is that the reason there's a rule about you driving -- not driving 70 is so people don't get killed. >> yes. >> the question is why does the rule about the hair exist? what's the reason for it? >> exactly. exactly. >> it's also -- >> i question the reason. > yes. >> it's also about who's affected by the rule. it's easy to say rules are rules when you're not the one affected by it. >> i went oh, no, here we go again. they said they re-evaluate the school rules every three years, and there's supposed to be a new

reevaluation next year. i'm hoping this is 2021 school that they will move ity -- >> is the kid coming to school clean? if he is or she is, fine. >> right now he's in a ten-day in-school suspension and counting. in the words of the great philosopher, that ain't right, chris rock. >> absurd. here's my story -- archaeologists in maryland's eastern shore have made an incredible discovery. they have apparently found the family home finally of harriet tubman. >> wow. >> in marshy mooy woodlands. she was a counsnductor at the underground railroadment th. they've been trying to find the family home forever. they have dug test pits and turned up nothinging inguntil t found this coin. take a look. they found it along an abandoned road. it was the eureka moment. the date on it -- 1808.

it was found by archaeologist julie -- let me get this ride -- schablitsky with maryland state highway administration, an archaeologist. i didn't know the state highway administration had an archaeologist. she found it with a metal detector. that was the first clue. they, of course, eventually uncovered bricks, 19th century pottery with distinct patterns, rusty nails, a button. they have not actually found the cabin's foundation. but all these other artifacts lead them to believe that harriet tubman's family home was here in this location. >> that's amazing. >> what are the chances of finding it, though? look what they have to go through to find it. >> it's a very marshy area. i think they were beginning to think it was hopeless, literally this coin -- as the archaeologist said, the eureka moment. >> no bubble gum machines back then. that coin was valuable. someone was looking for it. it was found 200 years later. so something strange is happening among a certain echelon of type-a millennials

important, sweeping change needs to come from governments and corporations. >> world leaders are behaving like children. so it falls on us to be the adults in the room. >> reporter: at every opportunity, the 18-year-old pushes leaders toe pointing to c as a model for swift action. any lesson learned that we could apply to environmentalism? >> we can't treat something like a crisis once we decide to do it. we have also seen what can be achieved when we put resources into science. vaccines were developed at record speed. so the science is not the thing that's holding us back. [ chants ] >> reporter: while she may be the best-known climate change activist in the world, she is just one of a whole generation of young environmentalists who refuse to back down. >> we young people are the ones who are going to be affected the most by the climate crisis. we will actually be around when the worst consequences will start to occur.

>> reporter: for "cbs this morning," adriana diaz. >> i like greta thunberg, our next two guests, rather, among the young environmentalists making a difference, a big difference. julianna bradley and georgia wright created the inherited podcast to share stories from the youth climate movement. here's a clip. >> some people brush climate off as a future problem. i don't blame folks who do this. sometimes i even do this. this crisis is a painful thing to contemplate. my chest tightens just talking about it. but for people in my generation, being able to talk about climate change isn't really negotiable anymore. we are running out of time. we're feeling the urgency, and we can't shut up about it. >> and we don't really want you to shut up, julianna bradley and georgia wright join us now. good morning to you both. really good to see you. i love the podcast. it's so well done. it's so well done. you guys are such bad asses, what you're doing. i think it was you, georgia,

julianna, your dad said, look, you need to stop talking about this or else you're not going to be invited to parties. whose dad said that? >> it was actually the father of -- of janet depaldo, one of our interviewees, one of the activist we featured. it was her father. >> i love that -- >> to be fair, we've both been told that. >> many times. many times. >> that's what i'd heard. your response is, what? you said, listen, we want to leave there world a better place than what we inherited because what we inherited is a flawed place. so what is your response to people who just don't get it? julianna, you go first, please. >> sure. well, i think something that drew us, one, to the name inherited but to the youth movement is this is nothing new. every single generation of young people is born into a world that they didn't create, that was handed to them. and often is asked, okay, do something with it, or deal with

the consequences. and more often than not, generatis well, we're we're g teave it behind rlving that's better. so i think when people say like why -- like why would you stand up to something that is and that is you're not going to do anything to actually solve, they've done it before, too. they were born into a world that had things that were solved. and they now get to live with the world that has progressed beyond that. so our generation, climate is one of our biggest burdens that we've inherited. >> georgia, there's the thinking that you guys are overreacting. >> i mean, i simply think that that's just not the case. this is the future that we have in our hands right now. and frankly, we're extremely pressed for time. you know, every moment that we have makes a huge difference. so it's the actions that young people are taking right now that are making the difference and making a future.

and i think as far as the pessimism goes, it's really a misconception that young people are pessimistic and we're party poopers if we're told not to bring up climate change at parties. actually we are having a lot of hope for the future, that we want a good future, that we're willing to fight for it. i think it shows a lot of really a will to live and an excitement for surviving and enjoying the left that we do have. so i actually think it's really a positive thing. it's a total misconception that youth climate activists are all doom and gloom. actually, i think we have a lot of hope, otherwise we wouldn't be fighting. >> georgia, you discuss climate anxiety in the podcast. we heard julianna mention feeling her chest tighten when she talks about this. what do you mean exactly climate anxiety? >> i am one of many, many, many young people who all experience climate anxiety which is the feeling of uncertainty over livable future. it's the uncertainty i feel when i think about starting a family, when i think about what the

world's going to look like, when people tell me to put money in a retirement fund, i'm like, i guess, but you know, what if -- what's going to be -- what's the world going to look like at that point? you know, it's hard to understand our future in the same way that previous generations have understood their future because our future does not feel nearly as secure. and so climate anxiety is that physical reaction we get. and i've experienced that quite a lot. the tightness in the chest. the feeling in the stomach, the feeling of doom and dread and panic that i think a lot of young people feel when they contemplate a world that might be shifting beyond our control. >> yeah. it's balanced by hope. i think we need to point out. and part of the anxiety is that it's not in your control from a leadership point of view. the perspective of people under the age of 40 is not the perspective of people, say, over the age of 50, and that creates a certain impasse. >> ouye and naive. that is not the case here. thank you both, we're really glad you joined us this morning. on today's "cbs this morning" podcast, you can hear

this is a no-nonsense message from three. small business insurance usually forces you to piece together multiple policies. that's why three was created. it's one policy that covers everything you need... leaving those old policies in the dust. three. no nonsense. just common sense.

small business insurance is usually so complicated, you need to be a lawyer to understand it. that's why three was created. if you own it, three covers it. got a cheese slice for “spokesperson?" that's me. i don't even need to see what's happening behind me to know it's covered. three. no nonsense. just common sense. since leaving the white house more than 12 years ago now, former president george w. bush has tried to stay out of politics. but that's changing in his new book "out of many one." mr. bush is lending his voice to

one of the most contentious issues in the nation now -- immigration reform. the book features 43 portraits of immigrants painted by the 43rd president himself. each painting tells the story of that immigrant, and our cbs news anchor and managing editor norah o'donnell visited the bush family ranch in crawford, texas, home of mr. bush's art studio, to learn more earlier this month. >> first immigrant you knew? >> first immigrant i knew. >> baola friendon. >> that's right. >> one of the immigrants may not be famous to the rest of us, but she's one of the most treasured peope in the bush family. >> i was 13 years old. mother and dad hired her to come and help with our family. she left three kids behind in mexico. i'll never forget opening the doors, pouring rain in houston, and there she was. tiny little woman, huddled and scared to death. and she taught me a lot about immigrants and dreams. >> president bush doesn't just

paint immigrants -- you're in the tree farming business? >> yeah, baby. we're selling trees. >> he employs them to work on his 90-acre tree farm. >> there are eight mexican guys working on the tree farm here because of the worker visas. and they're incredibly good workers. but more importantly is they're here to support their families. and they send money back home. >> in your second run for office, you won 44% of the hispanic vote. >> si. >> yes. no republican has matched that. >> si. >> do you believe the republican party can still win if it does not welcome hispanic voters? >> i think the republican party's values are shared by most latino voters. i think that it requires leaders and candidates to say "i care about you," you know, not only

do i want your vote, i want you to be -- feel comfortable about what america offers all citizens. >> president bush hopes getting back into the immigration debate will change the tone. not just in his party but across the nation. norah o'donnell, cbs news, crawford, texas. >> what a very personal and interesting way to enter the discussion. >> yeah, baby. we're selling trees. >> we're selling trees. >> yeah -- >> i love that -- >> there's that. but i mean, doing a book of paintings on immigrants. what a great idea. >> they looked good, too. he does seem to be enjoying his next chapter. >> yeah. >> outside of the white house. it was such a cute shot of norah and mr. and mrs. bush having a great conversation. nicely done. >> selling trees -- >> i think it's the first vehicle he's driven in many years. >> the book looks good. >> you're watching "cbs this morning." we'll be right back.
