>> in that press conference, yo thi case, that brown, by reacting to the officers in the way that he did turned that vehicle into a deadly weapon, and there have been court cases in the past similar to this where you have encounters between someone and police where a vehicle has been viewed as a deadly weapon, but it is also worth mentioning that in that shooting, just three of the seven cops fired all 14 shots which raises the question of did the other four officers perceive a different threat, vlad? >> it's an excellent t.thank yo repoing.i thought jeff's questig that press conference was the most critical one. you're saying they're threatening you, the police officers and he's backing away. >> and he's trying to get away

criminal investigation by the state of new york stock exchange. attorney general letitia office says it is actively investigating the trump organization in a criminal capacity. the a.g.'s office is looking at whether the company based in new york city lied about its property values to get loans and other benefits. that's on top of a separate investigation by the manhattan district attorney focusing on whether the organization engaged in falsifying records, tax fraud and insurance fraud. the former president continues to deny the trump organization did anything wrong. he has called the investigations of his business politically motivated. more than four months after the deadly assault on the u.s. capitol being the house is expected to vote today on forming a bipartisan commission to investigate how hdr o trump supporters stormed and vandalized the home of congress. republican leaders want their members to vote against the compmid democrats. nicole killian is following the back and forth on capitol hill.
7:11 am
nicole, is that enough to block this bill from moving forward? >> this bill to set up a january 6th commission is expected to pass the house today with or without republican support and speaker pelosi did try to bring republicans along last week. there was a bipartisan agreement to establish a ten-member panel that would be evenly split between democratic and republican appointees who would have subpoena power and that even split was a concession by democrats. republican congressman john katko helped reach the deal, but now his party is splitting up. yesterday house minority leader kevin mccarthy came out against the agreement because it ignores what he calls political violence and an illusion between last summer's demonstrations. later that day the former president said house and senate republicans should not approve the commission calling it the democrat trap, but keep in mind the goal of the commission is to get to the bottom of what w
7:12 am
recently ousted liz thinks mccarthy should testify because he spoke with then-president trump during the riot and some lawmakers believe mr. trump should also be called as a witness, but even if this bill passes the house, senate democrats would need at least ten republicans, minority leader mitch mcconnell has said that he wants to see the fine print, but cbs news has learned that he told senate republicans behind closed doors that he cannot support the commission in its current form. back to you. >> nicole killian, thank you very much. covid case numbers are still falling nationwide and the rules are changing when it comes to wearing masks in public. so that's putting some workers in a very awkward position, you could say at shops and grocery stores that are still asking customers to mask up. megver'e a supermarket in paramus, new jersey. it's getting dicey on both sides.
7:13 am
so what are the rules? >> reporter: gayle, good morning. as you can see, the mask mandate is still in place in new jersey at this grocery store and they have locations in connecticut and new york where customers today can start taking their masks off and that's only for vaccinated customers and most businesses, including this one, are relying on the honor system. at stu leonard's grocery stores a change is coming. vaccinated customers in new york and connecticut will be able to shop mask-free for the first time in more than a year. >> we really want to take baby steps every day and just be listening to our customers and team members. >> reporter: the company vice president and granddaughter of its founder. >> how will you know if someone is fully vaccinated? >> we don't know. we are just asking our customers to use their best judgment and to come in if they are vaccinated and we hope that that will be the case. >> reporter: but olivia melendez hopes customers will continue to cover their faces.
7:14 am
she has immunocompromised family at home and doesn't want to take chances. >> you can easily print up a fake card or borrow someone else's and hey, i'm vaccinated and people can easily lie about that. i personally don't feel comfortable about it at all and it's a risk to me, my family and coworkers. >> in most states business owners have a final say in mask wearing and those who keep covering up are worried about confrontations. >> i think there will be problems because people will say i don't have to wear a mask because they said i don't have to wear a mask. >> melinda says while she knows some have resisted mask rules she hasn't encountered them in the stew leonard's and she hopes she doesn't have to. >> we've been going through this for about a year. everyone should know. >> will you feel comfortable eventually taking your mask off at work. >> i think eventually, i'm not
7:15 am
any risks with the coronavirus. leonard told us 90% of the staff here at stew leonard's are now vaccinated and they're asking team members to keep wearing masks until at least memorial day to keep them as safe as possible and to help customers feel comfortable in their stores. vlad? >> meg oliver, thank you. calls for a cease-fire between israel and hamas are growing. hundreds of protesters clashed with israeli troops. more than 215 palestinians have starte more ago. one dozen people are dead in israel. holly williams reports from tel aviv. >> reporter: palestinian anger exploded on to the street in ramallah, but the clashes, as always, were unequal. the palestinians have been throwing stones and the israeli soldiers who are about 300 yards away on that hillside have been shooting tear gas canisters and live fire. it was mainly young men hurling
7:16 am
rocks, but other protesters were middle-class families. children and white-collar workers. people like may soon ali who told us she's a banker. their lives are not worth more than our lives or more than our kids. >> peace talks don't work? >> 25 years, what have they given us? >> four palestinians were reported killed and israel claims two soldiers were shot in the leg though we saw no guns on the palestinian side. palestinian thrust raising is what fuels hamas, a group considered a terrorist oerl organization by the u.s. it fired 3,000 rockets at israel since last week, killing two civilians yesterday. in retaliation the tiny poverty-stricken gaza strip has been shattered with blistering israeli air strikes. israel says it's targeting militants. and prime minister benjamin

netanyahu says his country's enemies are learning abu sies j. she was pulled from the rubble after an israeli strike, losing her mother and four siblings, some of the more than 60 children killed by the israeli bombardment according to palestinian officials. hamas has told cbs news that one of its conditions for a cease-fire is that israeli soldiers never again set foot in the al aqsa mosque in jerusalem. those who know this part of the world will tell you that is highly unlikely. >> and so it continues. thank you very much, holly williams reporting from israel. those civilian casualties, very tough to see. any casualty is very tough to see, actually. behind the massive exodus of police officers out of

this morning, our series "eye on earth" goes to england to see what could be the next revolution in air transportation. commercial airline travel is a major source of planet warming greenhouse gas emissions. unlike electric cars, viable electric airplanes have been out of reach so far. mark phillips, though, found out that electric-powered flights could take off sooner than you think. >> reporter: this one looks like
7:40 am
the red baron's world war i triplane had to good a time at the party. this looks like luke skywalker might use it on the school run. and this one looks like a flash from the past that doesn't flash very fast. what they're all trying to look like is the future of aviation because they're all designed to fly on a revolutionary new fuel for airplanes -- electricity. how far are we away from having the holy grail of aviation, an electric airplane? >> a full electric airplane is a little way away. the big problem with full-electric flights still at this moment in time is power density. >> reporter: power density is airplane speak for the fact that when it comes to flying there's nothing like aviation fuel. it may be polluting, but pound for pound it packs 14 times the punch of any current battery. you couldn't put enough batteries in a plane like this and have it get anywhere. a look around this display of vintage aircraft illustrates the
7:41 am
challenge. in this british aviation museum you can trace the history of aircraft design back over a century. whatever the technological advances from original biplanes to super sonic, all of these planes use one basic fuel -- oil. now, though, there's a race on to try to change that. this is the baby. >> this is the starting point basically. this is where we're at right now. >> reporter: where we are right now is this 19-seater design that neil says will be in the an intim ep, a bioelectric hybrid. just like hybrid r,it mmedulf run rsbu a littl jet r and charge the batteries. according to the designer, it's future proof. >> in the future, as we get to better batteries, we swap out the turbo generator, put that
7:42 am
power pack in, the rest of the aircraft stays the same. >> reporter: others are trying to go pure electric right now. this nine-seater got a lot of interest at the last paris air show. >> internally we say it's a huge battery with some flame painted on it. >> reporter: they're having to design a new model now because the batteries in this one caught fire. the safest approach, though, may be this one -- harbor air in vancouver itself taken the piston engine out of one of its old sea planes and put an electric one in. the thing flies but not very far which may be okay for a short hop service like this. scaling up is the problem. the major builders, boeing, airbus, are betting on improved biofuel engines, but they come with their own environmental problems. the developers of the new technology say electric planes will be a commercial reality this decade. but there's a saying in radical
7:43 am
aviation design -- take theory, apply engineering, add miracle. for "cbs this morning," i'm mark filling phillips. >> it does seem like it would be a miracle. hard to imagine they could create enough battery power to give you the lift to get those off the ground. >> yes. i'm not there yet. i love mark's writing. he says that plane looks like it had too good a time at a party. i like that. we know some people like that. had a good night, huh? huh, klaus? he's on our steady cam. i adore him. he's about to go on vacation. just playing with klaus. coming up next, nate burleson of cbs sports has the stories you'll all be talking about later today. there's nate burleson. hey, nate. >> yo. >> hey,

8:05 am
that's what we're doing today. as anyone knows who has flown across the atlantic over the last few years, airlines charge extremely high fairs, for business class and have been gouging people for a long time. as of today, we're announcing that we are going to put that right just as we've been doing for over 20 years in the u.s. and we've announced new fares in both our core and business class. our new experience which we think will reduce fares by up to 50% over what people have been paying in the past. >> when you say put that right, i love your accent, could you give us numbers so we know what we're talking about exactly? i've heard you can get about 700 round trip? 800 round trip? what does that mean for you guys? >> sure. when we launch on jfk in lax, we started fares at $599.

8:08 am
team? >> yes. so we're -- the majority of our crew members have been vaccinated. we are strongly encouraging it. we're not mandating it at this point. it is likely that some countries will require operatng crews, so pilots and in flight crew members to be vaccinated in the future. we don't know that yet. it's still very early. but we're strongly encouraging the vaccine for all of our people. >> all right. robin, thank you for being with us this morning. we appreciate it. safe flying out there. still ahead, an emmy winner talked about the new season of

this morning in our "spring into summer" series, what to expect this summer as life starts to return to one way to ease back into traveling is to find a vacation spot with a little more space like a visit to one of america's 63 national parks. we sent jonathan vigliotti to california's yosemite national park which is my favorite. >> reporter: we're here at tunnel view, and you can clearly see how yosemite became the muse for famed photographer an sell adams. this park has everything from
8:16 am
dramatic waterfalls to towering sequoias, an el captain and half dome. during the pandemic national parks welcomed roughly 237 million visitors, a 30% drop from the year before. those numbers are expected to go back up. yosemite preparing for up to three million people. park rangers across the country are constantly adapting to local health conditions, so make sure you check the rules at each park. before you pack a tent for yosemite, make a reservation. this summer it's required here not just for camping but even if you're going to visit for the day. all part of an effort to control crowds. once you're here, there's plenty to see and do. all of the trails are open, clg hert sember keep your distance. because of social distancing, some parks like yosemite have canceled their shuttle services. so people are encouraged to bring or rent a bike to get
8:17 am
around. you may also want to pick up a kayak at your local sporting goods shop. while this year's experience is going to feel a little bit different, the beauty of our national parks remains they're place to test the waters. for "cbs this morning," i'm jonathan vigliotti, yosemite national park. many of us are still nervous about returning to normal. one survey found nearly 50% of americans are anxious about having in-person interactions. again, let's talk about that with psychologist and cbs news contributor lisa damour. lisa? good morning. >> good morning. good to see you. >> so lisa, what do you say to people who might be anxious about returning to somewhat normal like life used to be? >> what i would say is just think of it as being out of practice, right. we used to make small talk with people all the time. now we haven't done that for almost more than a year. and it's like if you had been practicing piano every day and
8:18 am
then you stepped away for a very long time. you'll feel uneasy when you sit back down at that piano, but that doesn't mean you're starting from zero. as soon as you get back into it, it will all come back. the same is true for our social skills. the other thing i would say is that if you're feeling really nervous, start small. if you're worried about things like ordering meals in restaurants, don't start with a three-course meal. go get yourself a cup of coffee somewhere and warm up. ease yourself into it. >> that makes a lot of sense. so many of us are feeling anxiety these days. how do -- how does anxiety affect all of those in our family, those around us? >> well, you know, we do feel anxious, and sometimes our anxiety can feel contagious. so our job is to try to manage it effectively, especially if we have kids. what we want to model for children and those around us is that we can handle anxiety. the goal here is not to feel totally comfortable.
8:19 am
uncomfortable feelings are absolutely part of life. the goal is to manage those feelings effectively, to have effective ways to cope with them, to deal with the situations in front of us, not to let the feelings run the show. >> i like what you said about starting small, if you're going to go a restaurant. don't order three courses, order one. listen, if i'm going, i want all three courses. at least i did something for the first time yesterday -- last night went to a group dinner with other people. it was a little jarring at first because you said this may change the way we socialize. and this was very evident last night. you see people you haven't seen in a while, and everybody's said, are you vaccinated, are you vaccinated, okay, we can hug. we were told ahead of time, everybody in this room will be vaccinated. we were all trying to navigate do we hug, do we elbow bump, do we -- what do we do? so you say it's going to change the way we socialize. i certainly saw that last night. what do you mean? >> well, it may mean that we maintain smaller social circle or we socialize less often than we do in the past.
8:20 am
and i know that it can feel stressful to think about doing things differently now than we used to, but what we have to remember is that human beings are really good at adapting. you know, in march, 2020, we adapted very abruptly to life under the pandemic. and then we got asus tommed to it. -- accustomed to it. we'll find our new rhythms again. >> as you pointed out, lisa, a lot of people have lingering anxiety. but you say we shouldn't wait for this anxiety to go away. what do you mean? >> well, anxiety's a normal and healthy emotion. it's just part of life. and we don't want it to keep us from doing things we want to do like seeing the people we care about. one way to think about it is to treat anxiety as one member of your personal board of directors. it gets a vote in the decisions you make, but it's very rarely getting the deciding vote. >> can you give tips on how to deal with our anxiety those
8:21 am
days? >> absolutely. first, it's normal and expected to be a little bit elevated after we've been avoiding for so >> soothing -- >> that's one of the tips. have lisa agh lisah us. can you bepers thank you. thank you very much. i like anxiety's a member of your board of directors. i like that. >> a great idea. >> don't get a deciding vote.
