7:07 am
while in the southern israeli town, dozens of israelis and our team had to run to this bomb shelter after several hamas rockets were intercepted right above us. if a cease-fire is near it doesn't feel like it. since fighting began, more than 75,000 palestinians have been displaced across gaza. most seeking refuge at these u.n. schools, and it's kids who suffer the most. we talked to two 10-year-olds about what they're experiencing. one israeli and one palestinian. nadine abdel-taif has become the face of gaza's children. >> i'm only 10 -- >> reporter:er gngal inhi viwsadineear her e f like w is in ruins. one day at least. i never feel safe? my own home. >> reporter: what's it like in your house? >> it's very scary.
7:08 am
>> reporter: renana botzer swissa lives in southern israel just a few miles away from gaza. she gets scared every time hamas rockets are fired near her home. she says she knows what she experiences is nothing compared to what nadine does, and when we asked what she'd say if they were to ever meet -- >> i wouldn't say nothing. i just would hug her and tell her that i know what she feels. >> reporter: now according to the united nations children's charity unicef, one million palestinian children, one million, face, quote, disaster if the cease-fire isn't called soon. gayle? >> we're all hoping for that. thank you so much, imtiaz tyab reporting from southern israel. president biden plans to sign a bill today aimed at fighting a surge in discriti asian americans and pacific islanders. the covid-19 hate crimes act passed the house yesterday. the vote there was 364-62.
7:09 am
house speaker nancy pelosi called it a momentous day. weijia jiang is at the white house with more. good morning to you. what exactly does this bill do? >> reporter: good morning to you, gayle. good morning, everyone. well, this will provid more resources to help curb the number of anti-asian hate incident that's have just soared during the pandemic starting with a new position at the department of justice to help expedite the handling of allegations of hate crimes. it will also direct the doj and health and human services secretary to work with various organizations to give guidance that will help victims report incidents and raise public awareness. the law would provide grants to train local law enforcement to identify hate crimes and for states to help set up reporting hotlines. some advocates are concerned that the bill does not go far enough to address the underlying causes of the attacks or to anything to clarify what constitutes a hate crime. they are also frustrated that it
7:10 am
does not allocate any new funding for the aaip community. more than 100 asian and lgbtq organizations actually oppose this bill saying it does not do enough to help other marginalized groups. but there is agreement that this is a critical first step with more than 6,600 anti-asian hate incidents reported since march, 2020. anthony? >> truly alarming number. thank you. texas has just adopted one of the most restrictive anti-abortion laws in the nation. republican governor greg abbott signed the bill yesterday. it bans the procedure as early as six weeks into a pregnancy, before many women even know they're pregnant. it also allows private citizens to sue medical professionals who offer abortions after the deadline or anyone helping a woman get an abortion at that point. planned parenthood ceo said her group plans to, quote, fight back like hell to overturn the law in the courts.
7:11 am
the law is scheduled to take effect in september. newly released body cam video of an arrest in 2019 seems to show louisiana state troopers tasing, punching, and dragging a black man who later died in their custody. 49-year-old ronald greene had led the troopers on a high-speed chase. on the video obtained by the "associated press," you cgrne r after crashing. police originally told greene's family a false story -- that he died on impact after crashing into a tree. mola lenghi has the video, and we must warn you again it is disturbing to watch. >> reporter: ronald greene can be heard apologizing and pleading with troopers once the high-speed chase came to an end. they tased him before he could get out of his car. [ bleep ] officers then wrestled him to the ground and tased him several more times. >> put your hands behind your back -- [ bleep ] [ bleep ] >> taser, taser, taser.
7:12 am
[ scream ] >> you're about to get it again -- >> reporter: one of at least se legs had been shackled and his handcuffed behind him. the "ap" says the troopers who were there left him moaning for more than nine minutes. [ moans ] >> reporter: experts say officers nationwide are often trained to turn people handcuffed on their side so they can breathe easily. troopers didn't do that to greene. instead, pushing him facedown as greene tried to turn. [ sirens ] police initially told greene's family he died after crashing into a tree during the chase, but later state police said greene struggled with troopers and died on his way to the hospital. a federal civil rights investigation is under way. in a statement to cbs louisiana state police would not comment on the content of the video. it said the release "undermines investigative process and
7:13 am
compromises the fair and impartial outcome for the greene family, lsp employees, and the community." greene's family has filed a federal wrongful death lawsuit. for "cbs this morning," i'm mola lenghi. >> yeah, they can't comment on that video because it's indefensible. i'm so tired of being tired about these stories. you hear them calling him a stupid mf -- >> yeah -- >> i would say he wasn't stupid, sir. he was scared. he was scared. then when you look at the initial police report -- died crashing into a tree, died on the way to the hospital -- that's why the videotape is so important. and what you're going to see in this case is sometimes the body cams were turned off, the audio was turned off. and even, anthony, when -- even when taken to the hospital, the doctor on the report said the police account does not add up. >> we should note that the trooper who tased greene and later admitted on audio to beating him was -- was told he would be fired for his role in this case. he later died in a
7:14 am
single-vehicle highway crash that happened right after he was told that. >> why would you -- >> i'm sorry that he died. i'd like to hear his account. >> yeah. another officer was arrested in connection with another excessive force case. one of those officers was arrested in another case -- >> the thing that always gets me, vlad, is the lack of humanity that is shown people of color in encounters with the police. we've seen it time and time and time again. >> mr. greene was saying repeatedly to those troopers, "i'm your brother, i'm sorry." >> i'm your brother, i'm sorry, and i'm scared. >> and i'm scared. that's where we are. >> moving on. deadly spring storms continue to drench parts watchi rain that's coming down in

threat of climate change. a recent gallup poll found 43% of americans worry about it a great deal. the same poll shows about 60% of americans think the effects of global warming have already begun. with that in mind, we're seeing more efforts to try to combat it, including electric vehicles. that now includes the bestselling vehicle in america, the ford f-150 pickup truck. ford unveiled its new f-150 lightning last night, one day after president biden climbed behind the wheel during a visit to the production plant in dearborn, michigan. erroll barnett also got to take it for a ride. good morning. >> reporter: hey, good morning. look, there is the reigning champ. american trucks. the f-150 is the bestselling pickup truck on the planet, the top seller in 39 states. consider this, the $42 billion the f series brand generates in revenue annually is second only to the iphone in u.s. sales. and now just like your smartphone, ford has built an f-150 you can plug in.

"car and driver's" eric tingwall. >> they are making the most popular car in america an electric thinking they can tap into that huge audience, huge customer base, and get them excited about evs. >> reporter: selling evs is an uphill challenge. less than 2% of cars sold in the u.s. are electric. americans bought more f-series trucks in the first quarter of this year than all evs purchased last year. plus, the segment is getting crowded.

>> gm's going to be competing in this space, tesla obviously has the cyber truck coming. there's a new electric startup that has a cool looking ev coming. >> reporter: ford hopes the lightning's price point helps it stand out. the baseline model will go for $40,000. now it's not available until next spring. you can reserve one now for $100. did i mention the frunk? because there's no internal combustion region in the trunk is up front. you have plugs, a special compartment with a drain. ford wanting to make this electric truck functional for folks out there. >> wow. >> the frunk. okay. that's a new word. >> i want a frunk. >> i want a frunk, too. >> how long can this thing run on a charge? >> the baseline model for 230 miles. but the upgraded version can get to 300. that's comparable with tesla's. it can also charge in your house overnight for 12 to 16 hours. of course, you can upgrade if you want. ford describes this as having the body of a beast but the soul

8:17 am
shore to the oregon coast claim everything from unemployment benefits to travel restrictions, making it tough for temporary workers from other countries to get here. and some tourist spots were offering bonuses to fill hundreds of jobs. whether for work or play, the texas gulf coast is ready to welcome people back to the beach. for "cbs this morning," janet shamlian, galveston. this morning we're also focusing on how lifting covid restrictions affects the job market. a recent linkedin report found hiring increased 3.5% from march to april and more than 69% from april of last year. linkedin career expert katherine fisher joins us. good morning. >> good morning. >> so are there cities here in the united states that are doing more hiring than others now that we're beginning to get back to normal? >> there sure are. so as you heard, texas has a lot of job openings. and we're seeing, you know,
8:18 am
definitely cities like boston, st. louis, new york, they are hiring. and also some of those smaller metro areas -- tampa bay, raleigh-durham, jacksonville. they are seeing a spike. and the industries that are really starting to see some recovery shouldn't be surprising -- entertainment, recreation, and travel and software and i.t. as people are wanting to get back out, they want to get entertained, they want to travel is where we're really seeing is- some great signs of recovery. >> catherine, now that we are beginning to get back together, how is it possible or how do we best stay connected while we're still apart? >> yeah. in the workplace, it's really important to build those natural connections. and as people are coming back to the workplace, many people are saying, hey, can i work a flexible work environment? and the key you want to do is make sure that if you are applying for a role and you're
8:19 am
asking to be flexible, that the company you work with or want to work for has the technology to do that. do have strong video conferencing capabilities. it's on the employee who's going to have to find those points of connection. and the advice here is treat it as if you are in the office. so show up to that meeting a few minutes early, even if you're on the video conference, as people are settling into the -- the conference room so that you can have that chit chat. you're going to have to overcommunicate. make sure that -- because you're not running into people in the hallways as much as you used to, you know, send that text message, give people a call. you know, i feel like everyone is now going back to the old school of actually calling people. so just find those >> sright.thin connection i rtant. so shoearly. have to try that. let me see how that's going to work -- show up early. this is the thing, when i was coming up, you were told it's either to get a job from another
8:20 am
job, don't quit your job until you have a job, and now they say that gaps in the resume are no longer a problem. how is that -- how is that? i was told that's a big no-no to have a gap in your resume. >> yes. this is one of the benefits of covid is that stigma has gone away. many people, you know, had to stop working by choice or not by choice. and recruiters tell us that they kind of expect that many people were going to have a gap. but what they're looking for is what did you do during that gap. did you, you know, learn new skills, did you get new certificates. i just spoke to someone who was in the events industry. he and his team got furloughed. so he and his team figured out, okay, how do we bring events on line. they helped some local businesses, pitched it back to the agency, and the entire team got rehired. so it's how you take that time to be creative and learn new skills because we know that skills is really what matters these days. >> catherine, you say that a lot
8:21 am
of people during the pandemic have considered switching careers, switching jobs. a lot of people as you noted are reentering the work force. iho situations, you say it's important to take a skills inventory. what do you mean exactly? >> so what happened during the pandemic is that there were some industries obviously that were incredibly hard hit. and there were some industries who literally couldn't find enough employees. it's because they were looking the wrong way. they were looking at education, the network, et cetera. then they realized skills-based hiring is how you find the best people because it's really the skills that you need to get the job done. and so if you're looking for a job in an industry that you have no experience or you're just entering the job market, you want to take an inventory of the skills that you have, compare it to the role that you're interested in, and you'll see how many transferrable skills there are. and of course, there are thousands, literally thousands of online courses you can take to fill those skills gaps that you may have. so this is great news because it
8:22 am
really brings more equity to the workplace. >> catherine fisher of linkedin, thank you so much for being with us this morning. >> thank you. tomorrow we'll wrap up our "spring into summer" series with hot dogs, peanuts, and vaccinated-only seating sections. yep, jamie yuccas is going to take us out to the ball game. we'll be right back.
