confrontation flared up. hundreds of palestinians fired hundreds of rockets at israel and people have been killed on both sides including some children. elizabeth palmer is following all of this. elizabeth, what led to the violence to begin with? good morning to you. >> good morning. well this round of violence actually started weeks ago with ani an israeli court order to evict palestinian families from jerusalem. israeli police clashed with palestinian protesters around the very holy al aqsa mosque and now it's morphed into open war. >> overnight, israeli air strikes pounded gaza again. the target, says the israeli military are hamas and islamic jihad leaders and their installations. the materiel damage is immense. >> and for humans in this overcrowded enclave --

7:08 am
lines formed across multiple states yesterday as panicked americans started a run on gas. according to gasbuddy, nearly 1800 gas stations are out of fuel. florida, virginia, north carolina and georgia have declared states of emergency while american airlines says it is adding stops to long-haul flights so planes can re-fuel. our lead national correspondent david begnaud is in atlanta. good morning to you. the average price for a gallon of gas is right now at the highest it has been in nearly seven years. how are people reacting? >> reporter: people are panicking, tony, and it's hurting all of us. take a look at this picture out of alabama. this lady filling up gas cans on the back of the vehicle is exactly what we're all being asked not to do. where we are in atlanta, 30% of stations are reportedly out of fuel. this is when we ran out of toilet paper and lysol during the pandemic because everyone made a run at the grocery store. we have enough gas in the country and it's just about
7:09 am
hauling it where it needs to be, so please, experts are asking, don't panic. >> we got a call from family who said you better fuel up before you hit tennessee. >> there was panic at the pump from virginia all of the way down to florida. >> i suspected prices would go way up. i didn't suspect that there wouldn't be any the next day. >> reporter: hundreds of gas stations across the region are starting to run out. >> we put a stop to the can sales today. people were trying to buy five and ten cans worth of gasoline and just hoarding it. >> the pipeline sends oil from houston, texas, to linden, new jersey, near new york city. so colonial was forced to shut down the pipeline, cutting off a major source of gasoline, jet fuel and diesel to several states. here's what panic buying being do. hurt consumers long term warns gasbuddy petroleum analyst
7:10 am
patrick dehaan. gas prices are going to skyrocket and it's a self-fulfilling prophecy that makes the problem much more acute. >> this chaos left in the wake of colonial. line's ransomware attack, the energy grid and water supply have almost no federally mandated cybersecurity protections and that vulnerability is costing millions of dollars. listen to what homeland security secretary alejandro mayorkas said on tuesday. >> more than $350 million in losses are attributable to ransomware attacks this year. that's a more than 300% increase over last year's victimization of companies. >> reporter: you know, colonial pipeline isn't the only ransomware attack happening right now, did you know it is happening at the washington, d.c. police department? hackers have reportedly stolen all kinds of information kn including personnel files of
7:11 am
police officers and they're constantly releasing them until their demands are met. bottom line, some of the top officials in the country say we could have other infrastructure vulnerable right now of simultaneous attacks. >> this is exposing how vulnerable we are. thank you. this morning house republicans plan to remove congresswoman liz cheney from her leadership position for opposing former president trump. cheney has been at odds with gop members since voting to impeach mr. trump in january. on the house floor last night she said republicans who support phony claims of a stolen election are a threat to democracy. >> i am a conservative republican, and the most conservative of conservative principles is reverence for the rule of law. the election is over. that is the rule of law. that is our constitutional process. those who refuse to accept the rulings of our courts are at war with the constitution.
7:12 am
this is not about policy. this is not about partisanship. this is about our duty as americans. remaining silent and ignoring the lie emboldens the liar. i will not participate in that. i will not sit back and watch in silence while others lead our party down a path that abandons the rule of law and joins the former president's crusade to undermine our democracy. >> chief washington correspondent major garrett joins us now. major, good morning. >> good morning. >> how significant is this vote? >> let me give you a two-part answer. for everyday americans it is not significant, anthony. we are talking about the number three leader in the house republicans which is the minority party in the house. this is no as pepersions, and y just don't have power in the house of representatives and we are talking about the number three leader and for people
7:13 am
buying a gallon of gas and worried about inflation, this does not affect their life and symbolically it is massively important because liz cheney in that speech and her overall remarks is laying down a marker and the marker is this, either you shall in the constitution, federalism and the way we conduct elections and believe the election is over or you don't and if you don't believe that, you will vote me out of office. in like a medieval ritual like being stoned, and she wants this moment for the nation to see the republican party for what it is, a dividing line between truth and fiction. >> what does it mean for the party symbolically, major? >> it depends. liz cheney's long-term bet is all of this stuff that former president trump says about the election will over time fade away and become less toxic and less poisonous to the rank and file ranks of the house republican conference. that's her long-term bet. she will lose that today, but she believes once that washes through the party and former
7:14 am
president trump is no longer relevant as he is now she can rise up and the anti-trump faction of the party can rise up and that is a very long term bet. right now she will lose it because everyone in the house republican congress who today votes her out will be voting with donald trump and by proxy, with the big lie. >> i hear you, major, but it's a secret ballot. so i'm still trying to wrap my brain around the fact that she is probably going to be ousted for telling the truth, something all these guys probably tell their children, tell the truth. is it unrealistic or naive to think that because it's a secret ballot that maybe, maybe she can pull it out today? >> i think it's highly, highly unlikely. there is nothing that her people who work closely with her are anticipating another than being driven out of office and her overall attitude is thi is going to happen and i want everyone to see it as it happens and it's a slow motion marker for the republican party and this is an interesting dynamic, gayle, because i was here in washington covering newt gingrich back in the early '90s.
7:15 am
he was the most powerful republican in 1994 when he brought house republicans to the first majority in four years and it was inconceivable that only four years later his own republicans would throw hem out of the leadership why? because he became a problem in their home districts and they were tired of explaining him in their districts. pro-trump house republicans want to say we got rid of this person who was against trump and this is how i prove my solidarity to you, republicans. >> a change in the party, major, thank you very much. the top u.s. general in afghanistan says the next two weeks will be critical for the ongoing withdrawal of u.s.-led coalition forces. in an exclusive cbs news interview general scott miller spoke with charlie d'agata about the challenges u.s. troops and afghan forces face amid a wave of taliban attacks. >> try managing this in 40 mile
7:16 am
an hour crosswinds. packing materials destined for u.s. bases, just part of the heavy lift in the mission to draw down the last 2500 or so u.s. troops in afghanistan. >> an historic turning point under the watch of general scott miller. >> it's going very well. in some cases i had a schedule. >> after almost 20 years of a continuous american presence here, dismantling it all is a mammoth task. it's not just about safeguarding the withdrawal of u.s. troops. it's weapon, equipment, machinery. and entire infrastructure. >> all while trying to defend against taliban militants determined to settle scores as u.s. soldiers head for the exits. >> have you had any trouble from the taliban? do you anticipate any trouble from the taliban? >> to date, we've seen a couple of incidents of taliban activity against the coalition. we have the military means and capabilities to defend ourselves as well as the afghan security forces.
7:17 am
>> capabilities like u.s. airstrikes launched after a taliban attack on the u.s. base itself and taliban fighters advancing against afghan forces. >> we saw pretty large surge of taliban violence across the country. in provinces we expected. >> general miller knows the taliban playbook by heart. he drew a side arm when a rogue afghan bodyguard opened fire on their delegation, killing an afghan lieutenant general and wounding a u.s. brigadier general. a former delta force captain, miller was one of the first american soldiers on the ground in the u.s. invasion following 9/11. now america's longest war is being brought to an end by america's longest-serving commanden afghanistan. >> had you anticipated here this long? >> in 2001 i don't think we could project 20 years later and
7:18 am
say that we'd be standing here. >> general miller paid tribute not only to the americans who are still here, but the tens of thousands who came before especially those who lost their lives here. gayle? >> charlie d'agata reporting from kabul, thank you very much. ahead, the family of a man killed by deputies in north carolina was just allowed to watch more body camera footage of the deadly encounter. why they say it proves the shooti

vaccine will even yell, hey, i'm boosting tourism and overall vaccination numbers here. let's go get a sandwich. it's this high. >> i like it, james corden. good to see you. we begin with this, gas prices have you heard they are spiking and more stations are running dry as we enter day six of a pipeline shutdown due to a hack attack. you can see the long lines at gas stations across the east coast. gas buddy says about 1,800 stations are out of fuel and the experts say theprimy because of ng and people are now hording gasoline. >> it comes after the cloolonia pipeline was hit by a hacker group from russia on friday, forcing the shutdown. a large part of the system is ba back online and much of the rest is expected to be restarted by

8:04 am
wreak havoc on infrastructure across the world. so we are talking about an energy story this week. the question is we'll be talking about electricity supply, the water supply, so i think, again, this is a story about energy this week, about, you know, gas lines, but the cyber story and the story of soocyber attacks i not going to go away. cr colonial said they should have it back on line this week, in the meantime, do you expect prices to continue to go up? >> i expect prices to continue to be elevated until we get an announcement from the company that they are fully back online and then the distribution system can be worked out. now we're not expecting to have a summer of low gas prices because we've had this recovery from covid. people are driving again, getting on planes again. but the spike we've seen that
8:05 am
has been driven by this cyber attack, we think that will be mitigated soon. >> why are we so vulnerable to these ransomware attacks? is anything being done to protect against them? >> 85% of critical american infrastructure is in private hands. and one of the issues with private companies, they ae not required to disclose cyber attacks. they only have to do so, for example, if social security numbers are compromised. so the federal government is really trying to work with these companies to provide more information about what is actually happening and trying to work with the companies to bolster their cyber defenses. last year, attacks led to $20 billion in costs. that's up almost $10 billion from the previous year. >> should we be paying the ransoms? >> companies are paying the ransoms we don't know how many companies are paying the ransoms, but they are.
8:06 am
and the real emphasis needs to be on bolstering cyber defenses so we're not in this system and better information sharing. >> even if they pass the cost to consumers, it would protect the information itself. it's interesting the hackers seem to want the money suggesting they are criminals as opposed to some part of government and preet bsident bi said there's no evidence that russia, as a government, is behind the attacks. yet you pointed out this could lead to escalation of cyber warfare between our two companies. how do you see that going down? >> russia has become a safe haven for these groups engaging in ransomware attacks, the question is is there support for these groups do they know what they're doing? and you have the russian intelligence service themselves orchestrating the attacks. we have the cyber winds in 2020 that was the biggest cyber attack we've seen, targeting
8:07 am
hospitals, doing vaccine research on covid-19. so this real concern about what state actors are doing, russia, china, iran is only growing. >> i think -- >> sorry, go ahead, gayle. >> i think the ship has sailed about telling people don't do the panic buying of gas. is that adding to the problem? is there a shortage? what are you telling people sitting in the long lines and waiting and desperate? >> certainly we have not had a situation where we are running out of gas because we don't have fuel. there is an issue clearly with distribution. and there is an issue with panic buying. so i think the most important thing for u.s. consumers is to see clear evidence that that pine line is back up and running. >> which again we hope will be by the end of the week. thank you very much. ahead our school matte series looks at the effort to track down potentiallysc during get them back on a

the five houses we were not able to make any contact. we want to get these kids back in school. at some point we're getting them back in school. >> reporter: that grit is what created a new norm at sunset high school. >> i think that we've learned a lot in this past year and a half. we've learned to be flexible. we've learned that kids like to have more choices. >> reporter: one of those choices includes online learning during the day but also offering a homework hub from 5:00 to 7:00 at night that's staffed with rotating teachers. >> like education system hasn't changed in generations, right. like decades. and so our teachers have always kind of said let's do something different, let's try. then we were forced into this opportunity where you just had to. >> reporter: how do you call it an opportunity? >> my goodness. >> reporter: what is it that makes you so emotional about this? >> we've had -- give me one

hourious, i'll give you $-- in your house, i'll give you $1,000. i need to use the throbathroom 45 minutes. no. >> i didn't know the situation. i just know he was the culprit, and he needed to get out of my apartment. that was pretty much it. >> i don't know, $1,000 to use the bathroom is a pretty good offer. >> i not the bathroom was in quotes. >> for 45 minutes, you've got some issues. >> yeah. >> whatever that is, i don't want you in my house. anyway, they caught him. no -- no word on why he did what he did. but he is in police custody. i just think how far you think you're going to get with a u-haul, number one, and on fire, number two. >> a bad day for that individual. >> yeah. all right. speaking of bad days, i grew up in south florida, and one of the warnings we all got as kids during alligator mating season was do not chase the ball anywhere near the canalhat' goi come out of it. well, a 22-year-old named tommy lee in south florida did not take mom and dad's advice, went fishing in the everglades.
8:34 am
this is what happened. >> tommy lee. >> that is a bull alligator scooting out of the water and chasing tommy lee down a narrow path. way, way, way far from anything like a safe place. >> oh. >> well, that puts an end to my tarpon fishing. >> little bit of a standoff there as only a 22-year-old can pull off. >> time to cut bait. >> this is a serious issue during mating season in florida. dogs are at risk, kids are at risk. >> yeah. >> he got some great pictures there. his fishing day was over. lived to tell about it. >> does that just happen in mating season? >> it's particularly bad, yeah. they're very aggressive. the male alligators.>>he the ho start raging. turning now to a new netflix film that examines the u.s. justice system through the eyes of a black teenager. it's called "monster." it stars actor kelnname. he plays 17-year-old steve harmon, an aspiring filmmaker,
8:35 am
who finds himself on trial charged with felony murder for a robbery gone wrong. it's a film adaptation of walter dean myers' award winning novel of the same name. in this clip, harmon's mother, played by jennifer hudson, visits him in prison. >> already missed a lot. >> i know. >> people come back from these type of situations. they make it through it, and they don't look back. this doesn't change who you are. you understand me? >> yeah. >> you can still go to film school. you can still do great things. >> yeah. yeah, i can. >> yeah, you can. you can always count on mom.
8:36 am
tanya lewis lee is one of the producers and kelvin harrison jr. join us for an interview you'll see first on "cbs this morning." the name of our show hasn't changed. we welcome you both. kelvin, let me say this -- your performance is knockout. bravo, bravo, bravo to you. stand by for just a second because tanya, i want to start with you, miss tanya lewis lee. this is really your baby. you have been -- been trying to get there project to -- in front of the audience for a very long time. you read the baook in 1999. it got rave reviews at sundance. then the pandemic hit, and finally you get it to netflix. i thank you for bringing it to us because i watched it, and i'm still haunted by what i saw on the screen. why was this so important to you? >> well, thank you.and thyou foe this morning. i think that walter dean myers just wrote an amazing novel that essentially is a fable about being careful about who you associate with.
8:37 am
it's also a story about the over incarceration of our youth. does the punishment fit the crime? >> yeah. >> did he or did he do this or does the punishment fit the crime? and so it's important to me that we have this conversation about what are we doing with our youth. >> that's the thing. does the punishment fit the crime? and did he do it was a question that kept me at the edge of my bed as i was watching it. kelvin, let me talk to you because at one point in the movie, your own attorney says, "the jury has decided that you're guilty because you're young and you're black and you're on trial. when more do they need to know about you?" she said, "our job is to show them that you're a human being," and your character says, "i am a human being." i want to know from you, did this movie affect you or make you rethink some things in your own life? >> yeah. i mean, absolutely. i think, you know, like steve, i grew up in a private -- i went to a private school. >> your character steve harmon, yes. >> yes, steve harmon. and i guess stepping into light,
8:38 am
oftentimes i'm thinking am i an anomaly, am i not -- am i exempt. i guess i'm not. and i think going through life, i've had to kind of re-evaluate how i interact with people, how i interact with myself, and remember to not compromise my truth in the process. so i kind of did that through the movie in real time. >> tanya, it's anthony. gayle mentioned that you actually filmed this back in 2017. it went to sundance in 2018. it's finally out in 2021. i don't think people realize how much work goes into getting a film out to an audience. what's it like to have to have patience for that, and how does it feel to finally have an audience? >> tanya's relentless it seems when it's something she believes in. yeah. >> well, i will tell you the journey started long before 2017, as well. you know, my producing partner, nicky silver, and i optioned this book back in 2005 actually. had the rights, lost the rights, got them back.
8:39 am
and it is a lot of work. it's a lot of putting a lot of pieces together. you know, one of those pieces was bringing john legend on to write an amazing song but also be a partner because he cares about the issues. it's about bringing the right director on. when we brought on anthony manler, a director who -- this is his first feature film, but he is a music video director. the story is really steve's story, so we wanted anthony to have that -- given us that style and's threat take that he brings to his videos to our film. it's about bringing the rest of the cast, finding kelvin and the rest of the cast. it has been a long, hard journey r us, but we got we gotnto we' hateople can seeit. >> yes. >> kelvin, it's tony here. i'm curious -- talked about how the film changed you. i'm cus,at audiences get out of? and is there any part of you that thinks there's something fortunate to the fact that it was sthhot in 2017 but is comin out today?
8:40 am
>> yeah. i feel like, you know, for the young people, i just think it's important to kind of like maintain your youth and not necessarily be afraid to be curious. i think ultimately that's how steve feels. he's like, i'm on trial for just being curious about my life and the story and who i am. and that's not a crime. i think looking at everything that's happening now, it's just we really need this reassurance of not being gas lit or brainwashed by digesting so much media and so much hate and crime, so much abuse and death. and just kind of see our humanity again for what it actually looks like. >> that's what struck me, kelvin, is that you get to see the humanity of this family, number one. you've got a little brother in the scene, and he wants to be a superhero. he goes, "why can't i just be your big brother?" there are sweet, touching moments that touch on humanity. tanya, back to you for a second. the cast that you got, a$ap rocky, jeffrey wright, jennifer
8:41 am
hudson, naz, how did you pull a cast like that together? > well, again, i have to say walter dean myers. i think the novel itself was just such a galvanizing piece of work that everyone wanted to come to work on it. a$ap rocky said it's one of the books that he read in high school that he loved. he was happy to participate. so you know, i think we had great -- great subject matter, and so artists want to play in good work. i will say, i hope kelvin has a career as long as norman lloyd because he's such a great actor. >> yes. oh, yeah. beautifully said, and so true. kelvin, i know we've got to go quickly, but i understand that you hung out with tanya and spike's kids to get the lay of the land running around in new york. i'm thinking that's a great tour guide to have. jackson and satchel. what did you learn from them? >> they're incredible. they're so smart and so fun. and like i -- there's so much music i hadn't heard from like the stuff that they listen to, from like frank ocean and just
8:42 am
like -- i learned the slang, i learned that, and i don't know -- >> all right. well, bravo to you both. well done, guys. well done. tanya lewis lee, thank you. kelvin harrison, may you have a long career, as tanya
