nancy cordes at the white house, thank you. vice president kamala harris is talking about changes to voting laws in her first interview on the topic as vp. so far this year, at least 17 state legislatures, most of them republican led, have enacted new laws to restrict voting access. that's according to the progressive brennan center for justice. supporters say tighter voting laws are needed to prevent fraud, though there's no evidence that voter fraud is a widespread problem. the vice president spoke with soledad o'brien for an interview airing tomorrow on b.e.t. she was asked if democrats should compromise on voter i.d. provisions in order to pass a larger voting rights law in congress. >> people are talking about potential compromises. is agreeing to voter i.d. one of those compromises that you'd support? >> i don't think that we should underestimate what that could mean because in some people's mind that means, well, you're

going to have to xerox or photocopy your i.d. to send it in to prove that you are who you are. well, there are a whole lot of people, especially people who live in rural communities, there's no kinko's, office max near them. people have to understand that when we're talking about voter i.d. laws, be clear about who you have in mind and what would be required of them to prove who they are. of course people have to prove who they are but not in a way that makes it almost impossible for them to prove who they are. >> you can see more of soledad o'br o'brien's exclusive interview with the vice president in "state of our union: vice president kamala harris" tomorrow at 8:00, 7:00 on b.e.t. and b.e.t. her. the rapid spread of the delta variant in parts of the midwest could happen in other parts of the country. some areas are now recommending masks and other covid restrictions to fight the spread. our nancy chen is in hard-hit

7:12 am
both of those things aren't true. >> reporter: the virus is still looming threat. in christian county wh, vaccinations ares than half the national average. emergency care centers like mercy hospital springfield are also stretched thin. the hospital's health system announced wednesday it will be requiring staff to be fully vaccinated by the end of september. or face possible termination. local officials are warning surges in their state could be dangerous for everyone. >> the people that are admitted to our hospital now, 97% of them are not vaccinated. >> the real concern is that, you know if we're seeing this high number of delta variants here in southwest missouri, why wouldn't we see it in other parts of the state or in other parts of the nation? >> reporter: and according to the kansas city star, health officials here in springfield say the spike in cases started
7:13 am
around graduation season and memorial day weekend as more people started to gather, vlad. >> nancy, thank you. haiti is in chaos this morning, one day after the president moise was assassinated by gunmen that stormed his home. haiti's police chief says officers killed four suspects and captured two others yesterday. the interim prime minister says he remains in charge. the united nations plans to meet today to try to keep an already volatile situation from getting out of control. the asanss arrived in trucks after midnight claiming to be agents of the u.s. drug enforcement administration. a u.s. government source told reuters the dea had nothing to do with the killing. the gunmen reportedly speaking spanish and english descended on president jovenel moise's private residence and opened fire. the 53-year-old leader was killed. his wife, the first lady, also
7:14 am
shot. flown out of the country and brought to miami. she remains in critical condition. by morning, bullet casings were seen on the grounds outside his home. haitian ambassador to the united states -- >> it seems this horrible act was carried out by well-trained professional killers. >> reporter: the international airport immediately shut down. the streets of haiti empty, save security forces that patrol the capital. on wednesday, president biden acknowledged the tenuous situation in the caribbean. >> we need a lot more information but it's just very worrisome. >> reporter: the acting prime minister claud joseph asserted he was now in power. moise was the president for four years but over the last few months estersaven he down.ng a dictator. he held on to power past the end of his term this year and ruled by decree for nearly two years after the country failed to hold
7:15 am
elections. i spoke to president moise back in 2016 when hurricane matthew devastated the country shortly before he took power. when he said he was looking for haiti to recover from its troubled past where over half the population lives in poverty. >> so many questions still about what happened there. it's intriguing that some of the alleged gunmen spoke american accented english. for a lot of people, all they know about haiti is tragedies like this, bizarre circumstances. you've worked there. your parents are from there. what's the bigger picture? >> the bigger picture and you're right, i have worked there since the start of my career, and generally it's been around tragic situations. it's been around natural sdaefrts, political turmoil. but here's what people should remember about haiti. in 1779, we just celebrated independence day in this country. a force of haitians, free
7:16 am
blacks, fought alongside american colonists in a battle in savannah. haitians have been here in the united states since the very beginning. the american revolution and in part the french revolution led to haiti gaining its independece from france in 1801. but here's what happened after that revolution. the only free independent black republic in the western hemisphere, it's a miracle, but in 1825 that young country was forced to pay reparations to the french slaveholders that they had overthrown or france would again invade and enslave the island. and that debt took 122 years to pay off. and made the country chronically insolvent which coupled with political corruption created the climate of instability which the country has never fully recovered from. after that debt was settled in 1947. it's mind blowing and a lot of people don't know that. that debt was settled in 1947. the -- from the 1950s to the 1980s bought corrupt regimes and subsequent incompetent chaotic
7:17 am
leadership. the natural disasters. 2010 earthquake which again, the country has not recovered from. so haiti as a country that's gained its independence has been on the losing end of things because of forces beyond their control. >> did you just tell us that the former slave holders in france are the ones who got reparations? >> yeah. >> from haiti? bankrupting the country? >> yes. >> we talk about the 2010 earthquake a lot. they were really on the way to doing a lot better as a country when that happened. >> you know, i visited haiti as a young man, as a child essentially. and it was, you know, if you actually look at pictures of haiti from the 1940s and '50s, havana, all the other caribbean capitals in the caribbean right now. but because of this incompetent leadership, that's where we are. i've covered the tragedies that have occurred there. it's how i got my start in journalism. during the 2010 earthquake. and it breaks my heart every single time. haitians everywhere are mourning

karate kid than nolan ryan. programs like this are changing the game of baseball. the average major league fastball has improved about four miles an hour in the past 20 years. the number of pitches at or above 100 miles per hour has jumped from a couple hundred in a season to nearly a couple thousand. all of which means the pitcher has gained even more of an upper hand in baseball's most basic contest, and it may only get worse. what is the limit? do you have a sense of what the hardest a human body can throw? >> i think that there's potential to throw 112, 113 if it was perfect, it's the perfect specimen and they leverage gravity off the mound -- >> wait a minute. 112 maybe? >> 112, 113. >> wow. a mere 100 mile-per-hour fastball takes just 400 milliseconds or so to reach the hitter. that is quite literally the blink of an eye. >> you have a split second to --

president vladimir putin over the massive global ransomware attack believed to have originated inside russia. over the weekend hackers reached up to 1500 companies in the u.s bitcoin. in may the largest pipeline operator in the u.s. paid nearly $5 million in cryptocurrency to ransomware hackers and the largest meat suppliers jbs paid $11 million. sean henry is a retired assistant director of the fbi where he oversaw criminal and cyberinvestigations worldwide and he is now president of services and chief security officer of the cybersecurity firm crowdstrike. mr. henry, good morning to you. we have you here on the occasion of saying the largest ever ransomware attack hasoccurred. i feel like that question is going to have to be updated as we go into the future and it will keep happening. what concerns you most about that dynamic? >> well, i think that's absolutely right. i think what we've seen is the
8:04 am
tip of the iceberg because many of the attacks you just referenced are really the ones that have come public because there's some necessity for them to come public. there is a requirement to report or just because of the physical impact. when we see people standing in line for gas, for example, so people find out about it. but there are hundreds of other attacks that are happening that the public is not hearing about, the media is not covering because this is widespread. the actors conducting these attacks are essentially out of the reach of u.s. law enforcement. they act with impunity and the return on their very limited investment is quite substantial which means that these attacks continue uninterrupted indefinitelily until we can actually stop the actors physically and disrupt their actions. >> so let's talk about the actors themselves because one of the things i'm curious about, are they some sort of cybergeniuses infiltrating our best defenses or are people just making mistakes and clicking on the wrong email and essentially giving the bad guys access to
8:05 am
all the goods? >> it's a great question. it's actually both. there are people that are quite sophisticated working within nation states. they do this 4/7. this is their job. they've got the best tools. they have the best training and they're fully engaged in exploiting global internet security programs around the world. but there are also organizations that are setting up infrastructure and then leasing it out so that relatively unsophisticated actors have access and then they split the proceeds of their attack with those more sophisticated actors that have set up the back end so they've set up the ability to use bitcoin. they've set up the ability to gain access into the environment when these unsophisticated actors utilize that infrastructure, it increases their scale and their capabilities and it makes it much more difficult for organizations to defend just because of the sheer size and quantity of these types of attacks. >> you talk about them being unsophisticated. i read there are services for
8:06 am
$40 a month you can apply for ransomware as a service. >> yeah, no, that's exactly right. that is that infrastructure, that back end piece i was referring to. that enables people who don't have the skills, they've got the intention, they've got the criminal mind and they employ these ransomware as a service organizations where we've got those much more sophisticated and very capable hackers and they for pennies on the dollar they're able to utilize those services. those ransomware as a service organizations provide a help desk. they provide support. just like regular companies now, software companies, they provide that type of feature which encourages more people to get involved. that's why we're seeing this wide scale number of attacks and its overwhelming for organizations. we can't rely on the government to stop these attacks because of the bredesen right now. they've got to engage with foreign governments to get those government agencies to stop their individuals within their

medical puzzles. researchers recently discovered a genetic disorder that causes 4-year-old luke terrio to produce no antibodies. it led to an immune system so weak that he was constantly sick. senior medical correspondent dr. tara narula spoke to his family about their search for answers. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. this is a condition that had never been seen before in any medical literature. it was truly a medical mystery. luke was experiencing infection after infection and no treatment was working. that's when doctors at the children's hospital of philadelphia stepped in with a diagnosis that helped change the course of his life. today, 4 1/2-year-old luke terrio nksl healthy boy. >> oh, there he is. there's my handsome guy. >> reporter: but just a few years ago luke was sick almost every day and his health was
8:15 am
deteriorating. >> around 7, 8 months old, he was just tired. he looked different. his eyes were watery and kind of red underneath. he had a really runny nose. he started to get some red spots on his face, something was different and i couldn't explain it. >> reporter: for months he was in and out of the hospital with no diagnosis until a test rvealed he had no antibodies and was unable to build a healthy immune system. >> if you don't have antibodies it usually means you don't have the cells called b cells that are the factories for antibodies and as a result you get infections, lots of infections. >> reporter: at the children's hospital of philadelphia, dr. neil romberg and his team of immunologists ran every test possible without finding the cause of luke's sickness. >> i see the difference. >> reporter: eventually they mapped his entire genetic sequence and discovered he had a mutation so rare it had no fame and only been seen in mice.
8:16 am
>> he had a mutation in spy 1 he did not inherit from his mother or father. this is what we call a de novo mutation. those are extremely suspicious. >> this de novo or new mutation as far as you know had never been seen anywhere before. >> it had never been seen before. >> reporter: spy 1 explained why luke couldn't make b cells but came with another issue. >> there was a concern that luke was going to be predisposed to cancer, a lot of human lee chemias have spi-1 mutations in them and they're considered therefore a cancer predisposition gene by many. >> reporter: without a playbook dr. romberg offered the family two options, he could continue to receive antibody replacement therapy and live with the predisposition to cancer or undergo a risky bone marrow transplant to reduce the risk of cancer and possibly jump-start his immunity. what did they tell you were the
8:17 am
risks of a bone marrow transplant to luke? >> it was a hard conversation. i think it was maybe 10% chance of organ failure. >> 10% mortality rate was basically a 10-1 odd. >> there were also complications that maybe would make the quality of his life worse. >> we really wrestled with the dcision. we were really back and forth, i remember. >> reporter: in 2018 when he was just under 2, they made the difficult decision to go ahead with the transplant. jack, their older son, was his donor, neither mom nor michele or dad robert were a match. >> whoa. >> reporter: after the transplant and seven weeks in the hospital, luke's family says his condition improved. >> get back. >> reporter: they also say it created a lifelong bond between the brothers who now share identical dna. who is your best friend? >> jack. >> jack. >> jack, who is your best
8:18 am
friend? >> luky. >> reporter: the hope that the transplant would help him produce his own antibodies which usually occurs in the first year has not yet worked. >> one, two, three. >> reporter: for the rest of his life he may need bymonthly antibody infusions and after three years his disease finally has a name. >> it is pu1. gamma globulin immunoanemia. >> while his future is uncertain his doctors believe he will be able to lead a full life and that have beens his hero, dr. romberg. >> want to get on the back. >> for patients who have diseases who have not yet been discovered i think this story is emblematic of how science can lead the way. we have the capability to really drill down on the biology of genetic diseases but it does take a partnership between patients, their families, doctors and scientists. >> reporter: since luke's diagnosis they have found ten
8:19 am
others with this disorder around the world. and they are now working on a therapy which gives patients like luke a new lease on life. what are your hopes for luke for the future? >> just to be able to lead a full normal life like any other kid and i think even though this isn't completely solved he's most of the way there. >> i want luke to live cautiously in the ways he needs to but not in fear. i want him to be adventurous and daring and bold and not afraid of things so we're really excited to let him experience life more. >> the family says almost all of luke's treatments were covered by their insurance. the work at the hospital was funded by the jeffrey modal foundation named after jeffrey, a young boy born with and died from a mysterious immune deficiency. his parents established the nonprofit hoping his legacy will help other children through early diagnosis, treatments and
8:20 am
cures through medical research. >> it's so hard to see that little body with all the wires coming out of it and know the parents went to the doctor and there's no diagnosis so turn to your doctor, okay, how do we fix it and they say, we're not sure. >> my 5-year-old saw this story last night. i showed it to her. she said why would god give a little boy a disorder like this. we have no and the but jeffrey's family have a website where they talk about his story and say jeffrey tog them so much. he taught them to succeed you need a wish bone, backbone and a funny bone, i love that and these children, the legacy that they leave and that is really what they teach us through dealing with these types of disorders and their families. >> it's interesting the doctor says it has to be a partnership. these parents took a big risk. >> they did, absolutely. there was no playbook. that's what -- >> what i find remarkable, they didn't -- they hadn't recognized in humans before this and found ten other that have similar
8:21 am
conditions. the science is remarkable. >> amazing. how many more other, right? such a huge step. >> i was going to say the community of rare disease havers is quite large and the only thing they have in common no one know what is they have. >> so hard in medicine when you don't have a diagnosis. that's such a difficult thing to tell a patient so, you know, beautiful story, beautiful family. >> things are moving in the right direction. that's good news, thank you, tara. ahead, another clash between passengers on a plane and one of them did something you probably shouldn't do anywhere on a plane, doesn't matter. stay with us. we'll be right back. ight back.

[ applause ] [ cheers ] >> we don't know the little boy's name. i don't know if he passed. we know this is the city of pittsburgh showing its best here. they shared the heartwarming video on twitter. that is a public pool there. they've got eight open around town. and they gave the boy all the support he needed to make it from one side to the other. no one complained about having to clear the deep end for him to
8:34 am
pass his test. that was a beautiful thing. >> so sweet. >> that's great. didn't have to get tossed into the pool in the deep end like my old man did to me. that was scary. >> growing up in miami, that was standard practice. >> i know. i was in florida, too, at the time. just threw me into the water. i screamed my head off. >> land of 10,000 lakes. they throw you off the dock. >> this may be a child of the '70s and '80s thing. >> nicer now. >> child services on the phone. >> everyone applauds you. all right. let's turn to a topic close to many's hearts, how the pandemic has transformed the world of dating. the popular app hinge says dates on its site were actually up 14% worldwide in 2020 compared with 2019. more than 40% of all hinge users have been on virtual dates and 65% want to continue using video chats in their dating lives after the pandemic. now that the u.s. is opening back up, we spoke with four singles about how the pandemic and being vaccinated has changed
8:35 am
their dating lives. >> i'm maya, i'm 26. i live in los angeles. i am single, and i am a comedian and an actor. >> i'm eric. i'm single, and i live in new jersey. i'm 27 years old. >> i'm nicole, i'm 22. i'm from miami, florida. and i'm single. >> i'm max, i live in new york city, and i'm single. 31 years old. >> for the first couple months when we were in full lockdown, it was just a no-go. that was an absolute no for me. >> like some people i met in person, other people i would just be talking through the apps and like zoom and whatnot. >> i was a little bit nervous prevaccine to go on actual dates and stuff. i wasn't dating during the pandemic. >> dating was a big part of wanting to get vaccinated. i wanted to get out and start mingling again. i tried to talk myself into a date with someone i was getting vaccinated with. >> i think we all had social anxiety after being in quarantine for so long. but i'm happy to say that things are feeling more normal.
8:36 am
>> when things started opening up, it was odd because i wasn't used to being in crowded spaces and talking to a bunch of people like that. it's like riding a bike. you never really forget. >> people have different levels of comfort with what they want to do on dates now. some people don't want to go to concerts yet or baseball games. so making sure people are clear with what you want to do on a date is very important. >> since i've gotten vaccinated, i would say dating has become almost all in person, no more facetime dates. thank god, honestly. i'm just excited to be able to like go to bars again and meet people out in the world. >> i think it's in full swing, and i'm happy to be here. >> what a good ad for all of it. >> right? >> i know. find their profiles now. >> right? on hinge. we're joined by logan ury, director of relationship science at hinge. i love that title. thank you for being with us this morning. >> thank you so much. i'm happy to be here talking about dating. >> i know, right?
8:37 am
i think it's interesting that during the pandemic, as you said, dating went up on hinge itself. a lot of times these dating apps get a bad reputation, but it looks like 75% of people are looking for an actual relationship. >> yes, that's exactly what we were interested in. there had been a lot of rumors of this shop girl summer or waxed and vaxxed. we're finding 75% of people spent the pandemic thinking i don't want to be alone, i want to find someone. now they're ready to get back out and really date. >> well, at the beginning of the pandemic, i wasn't dating anyone. in the middle of the pandemic, i did start dating somebody. at first i was using the apps, and it wasn't working for me. i ended up getting set up on a date. but that whole facetime, the calls, the setup -- i actually preferred it because you got to know people before you went out on an actual socially distanced date. do you think that's going to stick around? >> yeah. that's exactly what we've heard. so 65% of people who have been
8:38 am
on a zoom or facetime date tell us that they plan to continue doing this after the pandemic. and that's because they felt really safe. they could do it from the comfort of their home. it's this low-pressure vibe check. it's a chance to say are we a good match before we meet up in person. >> and now you're able to show that you've been vaccinated on your profile, which i think is funny. it's like your age, if you have a pet, and now if you're vaccinated. how's that working out? >> yeah, it's been great. so as you have up here, singles who say specifically that they been vaccinated are getting 30% more matches. that's really meaningful. so we love being a part of helping get the word out there about vaccines and why it really matters for dating. >> so logan, you're also the author of a book called "how not to diet alone." a bang on the nose there. >> you caught me. you caught me, yeah. >> what's interesting is people don't want to die alone. however, they also are fearful of dating again. a slim majority of people on hinge feel a little bit afraid. why is that?
8:39 am
>> yes. i'm glad you brought this up. so 75% of hinge users are ready to get back out there and find a relationship. but 51% of them are experiencing foda, f-o-d-a, fear of dating again. there is exactly what we saw -- this is salt lake whexactly wha clips, people want to meet someone but have social anxiety about rusty dating skills or basebal being in public on a date. >> i find it curious that you see there are people still using apps, and you probably expect that more and more people will continue to use them. what would that look like? you're in charge of relationship science. i'm from days of yore when you went out into the wild and it was either the thrill of the wild or -- or the agony of defeat. >> the jungle? >> savannah -- >> exactly. i'm out there, tony. loving it back in the day. back in the day. but do you think that people -- what will that look like in 10 or 15 years if no one's interacting with another person
8:40 am
in person, they're just meeting folks through technology? >> yeah, this is a great question. so even before the pandemic, according to research from stanford meeting on line was the number-one place that successful couples were meeting. so this has been a trend that's going on for a while. but the pandemic really increased it because it was the only safe way to meet during that time. and i think that we'll continue to see that. what i hope that people are doing is investing in in-person conversations, whether that's hitting on somebody in public or having a great first date, right? the -- the apps are just how you meet. once you show up at that coffee bar or go on a hike, you are the one who has to make conversation. so let's continue to teach people how to do that. >> all right. you heard it here first. the director of relationship science at hinge, logan ury, endorsing hitting on somebody in public. thank you very much. we appreciate it. we'll have you back soon. >> thank you so much. >> i love how -- we were talking earlier, jamie asked us what was our line. and i tried mine on you, right? wasn't a line. but i said, you generally
8:41 am
approach somebody and you have a wing man, you say, this guy thinks the beatles are better than the rolling stones -- >> rolling stones. >> and i saw you -- there we go. we start having a conversation about the stones. why you think they're better than the beatles. i'm a beatles guy. >> i can't believe my boyfriend continued to date me. we did the facetime and texting and talking on the phone. we finally meet in person, and . >> what? >> and we had a second date. >> see you later. >> and then he had one question which was can we stop this now? all right. thanks again to logan ury. ahead in our "a more perfect union" series, how a philadelphia art program is creating beauty and helping people who have fallen o

8:47 am
the nation's largest public art organization. how did the program get its name? >> it was in our early classes, and the participants came up with the idea that it would be called color me back because people really feel that they're brought back to life through the art. >> we're going to -- >> reporter: right now, arlene williams is experiencing her own revival thanks to belo's outreach. >> i stayed in the parkway when they had the encampments in the parkway. >> reporter: what did belo say to you? >> every day he came and was like, i want to encourage someone to get off the street. and i guess i was the best candidate. >> reporter: he was saying it to everybody, but it really resonated with you? why is that? >> because just being on the street wasn't the place for me. i want better for myself, and having places like this, it was a stepping stone. they gave me so many chances here. it's a place of love and a place of being. >> reporter: and what else have you gotten out of this access?
8:48 am
>> i've sustained housing for seven months now. i completed school. so this is -- this is everything that i needed. >> reporter: so far, the program's paid out more than $150,000 to nearly 650 participants. we're surrounded by the names of all the people who come through this program and have been impacted by it. what is this like for you to see those names? >> you know, it's very humbling actually. we have a scarcity model in our society. we think, well, we can't afford it, we can't do that, that's never going to happen. but suddenly, when you make an investment in the human spirit and in human potential, this is what we see. this kind of potential. and that it leads to other things. and that is how the world changes. >> reporter: proving that sometimes the most transformative art is a blank canvas. for "cbs this morning," erroll barnett, philadelphia. >> seeps like such a basic idea
