team trevor noah. she's saying out loud what a lot of mothers are thinking but i just think mothers want peace and they just want to be appreciated. however you do that. >> the appreciation is the key word there, i think. >> and a little supportive. as you wake up in the west, we've got breaking news on the economy. employers added 266,000 jobs in april, a much lower number than wall street forecasted. some expected as high as a million new jobs. let's bring in cbs news business analyst jill schlesinger. in a typical month, this would be considered a very healthy number but coming out of a pandemic, a lot of people hoped for a much bigger rebound. >> yes, economists were telling me aer bwe900,0 to 1.1 mill lked tgh the news was sobering a lotofecrs

, it was grt, leisure and hospitality added 331,000 jobs but many economists thought it would be twice that number. we saw relieves occur in retail and professional business services. it was sobering. one little bit of optimism here, when we looked back a minute ago, we had an unemployment rate of 14.7%. today that rate is 6.1%. so we are on the road to recovery, anthony. >> it's also a drop from last month. when do we really expect job growth to kick in then? >> i think that job growth is continuing, but obviously, as widespread vaccinations take place, as municipalities open up, we arengot of hiring. it's not going to be every single person getting a job back, but in fact that's why those emergency measures are in place so people can actually get through these times. can t fon o americans on they

sidelines of the labor market right now. >> all right, jill schlesinger, thank you very much. we have a more encouraging note for you, the u.s. just recorded it's lowest coronavirus case number in seven months after weeks of steady decline, 57% much adults in this country have gotten at least one shot of a covid vaccine and pfizer applied for kids as young as 12 to get their kids soon. carter evans joins us from sant month sachb santa monica. just a few months ago, they were in deep, deep trouble. >> that's right. they went to thousands of cases to just a few hundred. here in los angeles we're in what's called the yellow tier of covid restrictions and that means capacity can expand at many businesses. it also allows some bars to open their doors for the first time sincea

>> great to see everybody.every. >> reporter: it's a new day in los angeles. now under fewer covid restrictions than ever before, allowing bigger crowds at announcement parks and more people in movie theaters. >> this is our first time out. so where do we come? >> reporter: a relief for able ramirez who had to lay off 63 people from his two restaurants during the pandemic. do you consider yourself lucky to have survived this long? >> consider myself lucky and blessed. people say, thank god you are open. i say, no, thank you god you are here. >> reporter: the rules relax limits on indoor fitness classes and venues like the church of eight wheels in san francisco. the cityy rolling toward herd immunity. nearly three-fourths of san francisco's vaccine-eligible population has number is now 57%. and with vaccinationsrkill elimy limits on most businesses

effective may 19th. broadway tickets are again. and in illinois, the state's bridge phase takes effect next week. >> for restaurants and bars and retail and weddings and public gatherings, this means higher capacity limits and a very hopeful move toward full reopening. >> reporter: with some of the last holdouts moving toward reopening, it's a welcome sign for americans craving a return to normalcy. but it's still too soon to declare victory, warns infectious disease expert dr. michael well, now that so many people are vaccinated here in the u.s., the question is how do we make it more accessible to other

the suggestion is a waiver on the patents and that would force them to share the drug formulas. but scientists say they worry about the quality and safety of vaccine production. it's not clear, exactly, how this will impact those companies' bottom line. >> yeah, it's not just about the formula, it's about the manufacturing. carter, thank you very much. just as america begins to emerge from the worst of the pandemic, the situation in india is getting more dire. is been chris is in new delhi, where people are forced to line up just toet t oxy ty need to broej. >> good morning to you. oxygen andent is struggling to vaccines, forcing indians like these to line up for hours, sometimes even days. he's been waiting under the hot

new delhi son for five hours, but for 18-year-old rohan sharma, filling up his oxygen canisters is a matter of life and death. >> critical condition. >> reporter: your mother is in critical condition? >> yes. >> reporter: it could be worse. >> two days. >> reporter: you have been here two days? >> yes. >> reporter: as a last report they can come here, a sikh temple, where the anguished have barely leave their cars to receive a trickle of oxygen. inside there's no electricity as loved ones d sickening heat. for some, it may be their last. even the well must show extraordinary patience. the very fight for survival is in lines like this one -- these people are waiting for the vaccine.

at another facility, patience is running out, along with the shot. despite being one in the world, india has only vaccinated under 3% of its population, since epidemiologist here. >> we need to increase vaccine supply five times where it is right now. that's a tall order. unless we start working on that right now, it won't happen. >> reporter: and it's not just india at stake. >> as long as there is a possibility of new variants that could get past the vaccine, we're all at risk. >> reporter: now the government says it administered nearly 2 million doses in thet hourbut epidemiologists say it in order to reach the country's vast population of 1.4 billion people. for "cbs this morning," chris livesay, new delhi. in texas, legislators worked through the night on a bill to

rewrite the state's voting laws. texas is already rated as one of the hardest states to vote in and election experts say this bill would it even harder. florida's governor signed a similar bill yesterday in a republican-led effort to target an issue, widespread voting fraud that simply doesn't exist. ed o'keefe is in washington. ed, good morning. >> anthony, good morning. one of the streets that stretched into the early morning is democrats are threatening to propose hundreds of amendments and ended up cutting a deal with republicans to water down some of the more controversial proposals. make no mistake, texas is poised to be the largest state yet to enact changes to election law that critics say amount to voter suppression and aren't necessary. >> there are being 88 ais nays >> reporter: hours before they passed legislation passing new voting restrictions on the lone star state. the new bill lowers initially proposed criminal penalties for

voting errors, gives partisan poll watchers more power, but makes it easier to remove them disruptions and bans election officials from sending unsolicited absentee ballot applications. the bill's likely headed for final passage early next week. [ chants ] >> reporter: protesters rallied as house lawmakers debated for hours. >> reforms are needed to ensure that fraud does not undermine the public confidence. >> it's going to disproportionately impact people of color. you have to understand the damage you're causing. >> reporter: republicans claim their plan will increase election security. >> when this bill seeks to do is make them safer. >> reporter: the lead republigll whas it to stop>> ah weouowve got - inaybe she -- weloesti reporter: demts sayte suppressa

falsehood. >> is there bill simply a continuation of the big lie perpetrated by donald trump that somehow he really actually won the presidential -- is that really what this is all about? >> not at all. this bill is not about the former president. >> i have what we think is the strongest election integrity measures in the country. i'm going to sign it right here. it's going to take effect. [ applause ] >> reporter: earlier thursday in florida, republican governor ron desantis signed a similar law at a bill signing aired live only on fox news. that law limits mail-in voting, restricts ballot drop boxes, and requires floridians to show i.d. for new mail-in ballot requests. prompting several lawsuits from civil rights organizations including the naacp which called the new law a horrifying reminder at the fragility of democracy. so for those of you keeping score at home, florida has passed its law, texas is on the verge of doing so. and now ohio republicans are out with their versions of this bill. it would limit the number of

drop boxes, put more strict -- stricter requirements on youral, anduceheumber of early voti ys edominantly reblicany won last year by former president donald trump, and well-run elections with no widespread examples of any of the fraud republicans allege they're trying to fix. gayle? >> i know. it seems like fixing a problem that doesn't exist. doesn't it? >> reporter: and mostly at the request of former president trump who continues to believe falsely that there were problems with these elections that need to be addressed. >> the issue is the voters, the voters think this problem is real. their elected officials have to respond to a problem they've talked about enough to have to now act on. >> when in fact virtually every widespread voter fraud. >> here we are in america with the world's oldest democracy, but with voting rates we're in the middle of the pack. this could make it harder and sink us further.

>> that's why you have to do you're own due diligence and research to get tg charges. government troops in afghanistan are losing ground to the taliban. the insurgents are stepping up pressure on the afghan army as american forces withdraw. the u.s. military's top general said yesterday, quote, we have to see how this plays out. charlie d'agata's in kabul, afghanistan's capital. how is it playing out so far? >> reporter: well, anthony, it's not playing out very well. it's less than a week since the official u.s. drawdown got under way, and the taliban is on the march, capturing even more territory north of kabul overnight. afghan forces fell back to safer fighting positions in what they called a tactical retreat. to the taliban, seen here with a captured army humvee, it's

another victory. u.s. air strikes have been called in to help struggling afghan troops with the tapgz on the war path -- kalamazotaliban war path. they're barely negotiated in nine months. >> worst case scenario will be a complete, all-out war. >> reporter: the grim prospect of a civil war is something that ahmad massoud and followers are preparing for. >> i fight for it. >> reporter: his father gave his life for it, ahmed shah massoud the taliban in the 1990s. he was assassinated just two days before 9/11. the taliban knew the u.s. would retaliate with everything at its disposal. massoud would be too dangerous an ally. should the afghan military collapse, his son says he and others stand ready to take up arms in what some are already calling resistance 2.0. it sound like you'remilitancy. >> it will not -- it will be

people ready to fight. it will be an organized resistance against the taliban. >> reporter: if i com to that. >> if it come to that. >> reporter: like most people in afghanistan, he's hoping it does not come to that. he would rather the fragmented government unify and find some sort of peaceful solution. >> we were ready to forgive the taliban and to move on. >> reporter: forgive the taliban? >> yes, absolutely. and they killed my father, al qaeda killed my father. >> reporter: you're willing to forgive, but you're also ready to fight. >> yeah. absolutely. >> reporter: massoud returned to afghanistan after graduating from college in the uk around five years ago. he said he made a vow to his father to carry the torch of freedom for ghans. anthony? >> charlie d'agata in kabul, thank you. ahead, a chinese rocket is falling to earth, and nobody knows exactly where the debris will land. why scientists

now at the table. he's in my chair because of covid protocols. >> yes. >> having a little distance here. we're very happy to welcome you. >> a milestone. in the same room. >> yeah. >> i know. >> but this is what gets me -- we've all been vaccinated. but we still can't all be together. >> these are the cdc rules, right? the. >> no. these are the cbs rules. not necessarily the cdc rules. four people who are vaccinate today get together -- >> you're more powerful than the cdc -- >> at leas in this building -- >> we've got the abundance of caution going. >> this is a big chair if you want to sit down. >> what can you tell us about the new partnership? >> it's exciting to work with the group at oxford and prime minister blair to follow the variants across the globe. getting countries to share data -- historically countries said i don't want you to know my variant data because it's a checkmark against plea. it shows that i'm doing something wrong. now if we get them to slayer it, we'll be able to know what to do with the new boosters for the vaccines, and we know what's going on globally with return to policy.

it's going to be important. >> how do you track the variants? >> we call dna sequencing. right now you get a pcr test that says yes, no, you have the virus. if we look at the 30,000 letters of the code, we can say did it change from yesterday, did it climate change from other people in your neighborhood? if it's starting to change, we need to take notice. and not just notice when a country becomes like india, know in advance that something is starting to happen. >> that leads to the next question. what about india, are you getting data from, there and can you track the variants? >> the variants in india obviously are much more infectious. we saw it explodein india. the number of cases every day are breaking records. what we don't know is what else is happening in india yet because they're not being totally transparent with their data. that's what we're working on. with all those numbers of cases and the virus replicating or dividing in every patient, more variants are going to happen. the key now is trying to know in advance. >> how worried -- >> how worried should we be about india? >> the reason i was going to ask the same thing, when it first happened with coronavirus, it

was in china. >> yeah. >> we were told if you haven't been to china, if you don't have anybody who's come from china, you've had no association with china, you don't have to worry -- in the very beginning. i think many people thought, okay, i don't need to worry. how worried should we be that it's happening in india? >> until tuesday we have plans going back and forth between here and india. now, if you have a u.s. passport you can still travel from india back to the united states. we should be worried. the variants clearly are here in the united states. >> they are here? >> they have not spread dramatically. the question is what's next. the current variants, all of them, south africa, brazil, the united kingdom, india, our vaccines work. that is tremendously encouraging. that's a really positive sign. >> then one of the big questions is how do we get the rest of the world access to our vaccines? the biden administration is supporting this idea to open up the formulas to make the drug companies kind of give up their patent protection and allow generics in those countries. the drug companies are saying that's not actually going to help, it's going to be a manufacturing problem. what's the reality?

>> well, when you look at it, j&j, astrazeneca, and pfizer, they are selling vaccines for cost in developing world. making no profit. they are pretty good at manufacturing. you saw what happened in the united states. one of our biggest manufacturing plants has still not had one dose, and we had to throw out 15 million doses from the emergent plant in maryland. it is hard to manufacture these. that administration -- decision on the patents, i don't think it's going to make any impact in the short run. what we need is to continue manufacturing vaccines and then to distribute them in the right places, in the right way. >> do you worry that we're opening up too soon in this country? i know we're all covid tired. i get it. myself included. but do you worry that we're opening up too early since so many people still haven't gotten the vaccine? i was in a car the other day and casually asked the driver, have you had a vaccine? and he said no. it sort of -- i was very unsettled by it. >> yeah. if you look at the data in the united kingdom and israel where certain areas are way ahead of us in vaccines, if we can get our numbers 15% higher,

vaccinate 15% more people in the united states, our virus numbers will fall almost 15-fold. that's where we need to get to. >> i mean, whatever the new normal is, when do we get there? >> my hope is we can get there by the beginning of the summer. we have to continue vaccinating. >> what's the beginning of the summer? >> the beginning of the summer is going to be the end of june. and i think that if we can get 12 to 15 which should be approved in the next several days, that age group, that's another 17 million kids right there. that's going to help get us there. we have to continue pushing for the vaccine. >> what's the percentage we need to get to? >> i think if we can get to the low 70s we're going to be in a good spot. and then we're going to have the boosters which will come along in probably toward the end of the year to keep the immunity to these new variants. >> we are going to have to have boosters? >> most of the population will have boosters. >> dr. david agus, thank you so much. very helpful. >> good to see you -- got to hug him. i got touch him -- >> sh. >> wait. i don't think -- ahead, the threat from the chinese rocket about to fall out

less than $150,000 last year, $10,200 of unemployment benefit are not taxable to you. and that's a big deal. $20,400 if you both got it as a married couple. now the stimulus checks, whatever you received, that is not taxable at all. so for those who received that emergency assistance, the tax situation should be a lot better than you probably thought six months ago. >> all right. that's good news. there's a lot of confusing elements there year, particularly -- here's a question that stumps me -- if someone worked remotely in another state, if your office is in one state, you worked remotely from another, do you pay taxes in that state? >> this is so confusing, and i am sorry, i contacted the great folks at the aicpa, big organization of cpas, and they say this comes down to you counting the number of days where you worked. and what you're going to have to

do is find out what the rules are in the local jurisdiction as well as in your usual place of domicile. i know if your head is spinning now, you may want to contact a cpa or a tax preparer to help you out. you know, in some cases, anthony, it could be good news. you might have worked in a place with a lower tax rate. so it is worth going through the process. >> all right. we were given -- obviously the deadline was pushed back to may 17th. if you still haven't gotten your act together, can you file for an extension? >> you can. but get your act together. you know, those numbers that you put up in the beginning are very instructive. you ow abo f tax filers, they receive refunds. and don't you want that money? that's thousands of dollars. but yes, if you have a problem, you can absolutely, positively file for an extension. it's form 4868. and that will give you an extension until october 15th. the extension comes with a caveat, and that is if you think

you owe taxes, you've got to pay those taxes now, by the 17th, whatever you think you owe. the actual filing can take place by october 15th. one other thing -- if you plan on making a roth ira or ira contribution, you don't delay that. that deadline is may 17th. even if you file for an extension. so get that money in so you can start saving more for retirement. >> what if you just can't afford to pay your taxes right now? what are the options? you throw yourself on the mercy of the court? >> well, you know, the irs has plenty of options. and that's really good news. there's an option to actually say give me a little help for, say, four months, a short-term plan. there's a longer term installment plan. there's also a way that you could actually pay taxes with a credit card. i don't suggest that because there are fees associated. but you probably can get yourself on a plan that's pretty easy at irs.gov.

there's a lot of options there, had and they're not really so expensive. so i encourage you to do that. one thing also, never hide from the irs because even though they've been underfunded for the last 20% years, they tend to find you. >> they will get you. >> yes. you don't want the irs coming after you. and again, filing deadline, may 17th, a week from monday. thanks, jill. ahead, "48 hours" investigates a florida woman's disappearance after text messages sent from her phone raised suspicions. you're watching "cbs this morning." when traders tell us how to make thinkorswim even better, we listen. like jack. he wanted a streamlined version he could access anywhere, no download necessary. and kim. she wanted to execute a pre-set trade strategy in seconds. so we gave 'em thinkorswim web. because platforms this innovative, aren't just made for traders—they're made by them. thinkorswim trading.
