find maria this morning. good morning. >> reporter: good morning, david. the show me state has seen enough. here at cox health, they tell me they are struggling to keep up with the highest number of covid patients they have seen since the start of the epidemic. they have brought in a new morgue and are doubling their oxygen and they have rising cases and rising deaths. >> for weeks i would have told you i'm not sure we could take care of 100 patients and now we're at 187. >> steve edwards says some people are putting hospitals on their heels and in some cases are even blaming health care workers under the notion that hospitals are profiting from the pandemic. >> it's disappointing, right? i liken it to people returning from war and someone spitting in eir eythate ofur nurses feel. one of our nurses said that's

literally happened to her. >> springfield, missouri, has seen a dramatic rise of covid cases with cases doubling in less than a month. with the vaccination rate hovering just above 40%, springfield's public schools are requiring all students and staff wear masks when school starts up again in three weeks. katie towns is the director of green county health department. >> this time around the disease has affected those who are unvaccinated which has made this disease really translate into a younger demographic. >> reporter: like immunocompromised jack clingenbeard who was the first to be diagnosed with covid during his senior year and one of the first to get vaccinated in early february. >> how i saw it was if i get it, then i can do -- i can go back to normal things.

if i don't, i'm still back to ogssing forwar >> not everyone y feels that way. his mom has been fighting vaccine hesitancy in her own home for months. >> it split our family. i have one son that will not get vaccinated and i hope he's watching. i don't know what the split is. it seems to me like there's no in between. you're either absolutely or absolutely not. and i've yet to figure out what the absolutely not is about. >> reporter: we are seeing that kind of split all over the country right now. here in missouri health officials are doing all they can to combat that misinformation. they are trying to flood social media and work with local partners to get the information out. they are beefing up their incentives. one of the incentives is a state-funded raffle. whatever they are doing here in missouri, it has seemed to work or the power of mom.

last night we got a text message. she said her last holdout son has decided to get vaccinated and he's promised to do it today. anthony? >> good news, maria. a federal ban on evictions during the pandemic just expired and the impact can be seen in courtrooms across america. tenants behind on rent want to keep their homes. landlords want to be paid and none of them can understand why the government won't help. we are at the white house. what are officials there saying? >> reporter: good morning, anthony. administration officials say they are actively looking for a legal path to renew that eviction ban after the supreme court said it would be up to congress. the white house is coming up short urging states and cities to take action. >> right now i don't know. i have no plan. i'm screwed. >> reporter: louis has three weeks to find a new home after

a rhode island judge ruled in favor of his landlord who evicted him. now the 43-year-old landscaper says he has nowhere to go. >> i feel helpless. i feel like i can't do anything. >> reporter: he's among the estimated 3.6 million renters who say they are likely to be forced from their homes since the federal eviction moratorium expired over the weekend. after congress failed to pass legislation to extend the ban, house speaker nancy pelosi urged the cdc to do it, but on monday the white house said the agency has been unable to find legal authority despite an aggressive attempt. >> the president's not only kicked the tires, he has double, triple, quadruple checd. generling w's in char of the administration's covid-19 relief plans called on state and local governments to adopt their own eviction measures like in california and new jersey. sperling also called them out for being too slow to distribute nearly $47 billion of federal

aid. >> the president is clear, if some states and localities can get this out efficiently and effectively, there's no reason every state and locality can't. >> it's like this hot potato game. >> cory bush once homeless herself blasted her colleagues and the white house. >> this is not the pta coming in taking care of this. these are people who are paid to represent. >> gene sperling says excessive cautiousness and conservatism is one reason why he thinks state and local governments have been so slow to issue those funds. his message, this is not the time to be overly careful because people need that money right now. david? >> thank you for highlighting this. nearly seven months after the assault on the capitol washington d.c.'s metropolitan police department lost two officers to suicide.

that's raised the total to 4 by the attack of supporters of president trump. kris van cleave is looking at the impact. kris, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. it is heartbreaking. think back one week ago. we were watching as officers battled back their emotions as they provided harrowing testimony about their terrifying experiences during the attack on the capitol on january 6th. now we're learning the dc police department is mourning the loss of two of their own, an 18 year veteran and 5 year veteran both lost to suicide. officer gunther hashida was found dead at his home according to dc police on thursday.

he was assigned to the emergency response team. according to the obituary, he died just shy of his 44th birthday. officer kyle deprytag was found dead. i recently spoke with d.c. police officer michael fanone about the impacts of the insurrection on him. >> how has it affected you now? >> there was a time where i dealt with severe and i still experience severe depression, you know, almost debilitating. early on i had bouts of just absolute rage. i think that was like the overwhelming emotion that i experienced, like pretty early on. or just like unbelievable sadness. almost unexplained at the time. you know -- >> the justice department has charged more than 550 people in relation to the attack on the capitol on january 6th and the house select committee is continuing its investigation into what happened. gayle. >> thank you very much, kris. turning to climate change and the worsening drought, more than 46% of the state of

california is considered to be in exceptional drought. that's up over 5% three months ago. some communities are running out of water and are forced to rely on water trucks after their wells dried up. carter evans traveled to the popular northern california tourist town of . carter, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. walking through the 170-year-old town is like taking a step back in time. the same can be said for its water supply here. you see most homes and businesses, well, they use an old well somewhere on the property for their water and the drought has caused many of those wells to run dry. this is what it's come to. businesses like the allegria inn trucking in water so guests can take a shower. >> right now about $600 for 3500 gallons. >> that lasts you about a week you're saying? >> that's lasting about a week. >> inn owner conserves as much as he can using dirty dish water for the flowers and buying new

lightweight sheets for guest beds. >> you can get more of them into one load of wash and you can cut your water use significantly by going to these sheets. >> reporter: most people across the united states cannot imagine a situation where they turn on the tap and no water comes out. >> that's what happens to julian wells. >> right now there's just no water. >> three nights a week the kitchen is dark and the dining rooms empty. he already pays $3600 a month to fill up this water tank. >> looks like about half i'd say. >> so that will get us through 2 1/2 days of business. >> why don't you just get more water trucked in? >> the problem with that is these towns on the coast are starting to shut off the sale of water. >> so the trucks can't get water to bring to you. >> yeah. >> is this an emergency? >> absolutely. >> ryan roads is in charge of groundwater management for the

town. >> without rainfall the aquifers are being depleted. >> everything is on the table for a solution, even bringing water by train from 40 miles away. but can neighboring communities spare any? >> people are scared. they don't know what the future is going to bring and they're not likely to want to give up what reserves of water they have. >> because they could be the next town in this trouble? >> they absolutely could be. >> if too many towns shut off the spigot -- >> what happens then? >> we're out of luck. we'll have to start shutting down. >> what's the solution? >> i don't know. i really don't know. >> how can you run a business and live like this? >> well, it's not sustainable, let's just say that. >> reporter: so a big problem here is getting tourists. some 2,000 of them a day to understand just how critical this crisis is. there are signs all over town warning people to conserve water. some businesses are closing their bathrooms and putting port-a-potties outside.

want to avoid trucking in water

welcome back to "cbs this morning." there are new questions about how police handle mental health calls following disturbing video of a sheriff's deputy restraining an 18-year-old. the deputy was responding to a 911 call that the teenager, nikaya trigg was jumping in front of cars and threatening suicide but she was not doing either when he approached her. our national correspondent spoke with the teenager's mother. hi, good morning. >> the teenager's mother, as you all can imagine, was highly upset by this. the kauffman county sheriff's department is conducting an internal investigation. the deputy is currently on administrative leave. the family says he deserves to

be fired after the assault and questioning why he responded in the first place. we want to warn you some of the video you're about to see is disturbing. >> what's wrong? >> reporter: newly released body cam footage shows a sheriff's deputy following a barefoot 18-year-old as she was walking home last tuesday. >> what's your address? >> reporter: the sheriff's office had received calls about a young lady in the neighborhood attempting suicide by jumping into oncoming traffic. >> there's a young lady, african-american lady walking in the middle of the street. i'm keeping an eye on her because i don't want anything to happen to her. >> three people had to swerve out of the y, m ined. escalate he tries to stop the visibly upset teen from walking away. >> we got a call you were jumping out in front of calls. >> can i go? >> where do you live? skbl down there.

>> you can't go anywhere. >> why? >> okay? >> let me call my sister. i don't want to get hurt. >> i'm not going to hurt you. okay. stop pulling away. >> i don't want you to hurt me. >> if you keep pulling away i've got to put you in handcuffs. >> martin's body camera falls to the ground. for more than two minutes the officer is on top of trigg. >> i can't breathe. get off of me. i can't breathe. >> she was probably afraid that she was about to be arrested or worse. he was expecting a person who was in a crisis to be able to calm down and follow commands and i don't know how realistic that is. >> lisa daily is with the treatment advocacy ntert hheng with police. >> what do you think could have been done differently? >> you can have first responders that are not police or that the police are available but they aren't the primary response so

you might have somebody who's really trained in de-escalating -- >> the sheriff's office said martin was following protocol adding that in an effort to prevent the female from running into traffic or sustaining an injury, deputy martin executed a controlled technique. it's called a top mount. it is commonly used in jew jit sue and allows the deputy to control the lower body without impeding breathing. nikki ray is her mother. >> if that is a statement that would have been a move he needed to do when she was still on the main road attempting to run in front of cars. when he got out of his vehicle and approached my daughter she was on the sidewalk and about to cross the street headed home. >> when she arrived on scene she heard her daughter saying she couldn't breathe. >> do you wonder what would have happened had you not gotten there sooner? >> there is one thing that i don't even want to think about. >> why do she need handcuffs?

>> trigg was taken to the hospital for a mental health evaluation and released 15 minutes later. >> if someone is in mental distress, law enforcen reond to criminal in mental distress. >> kim t. cole is the family's attorney and echos the concerns about law enforcement and situations involving mental health. >> they do not have the training for it. they're called out when someone has broken the law. this is not the same as a teenage girl who is having an emotional moment. >> reporter: when trigg complained the handcuffs were too tight. ray couldn't understand why she was handcuffed. she reached to rub her daughter's wrists to calm her down but police say ray struck the deputy. the video is not clear what's happened. ray has been charged with

assault on a public servant. another concern for ray, she got a call from the sheriff's office that deputy martin tested positive for covid. >> deputy martin who was on top of her daughter. >> has her daughter been tested yet? >> her daughter has been tested. the mother's results came in. they're negative. she's still awaiting her daughter's results. this is -- you know, you cover these stories all the time. >> yes. >> you're thankful that we have the video. >> yes. >> so we can ask the questions. this is under investigation and the officer's on administrative leave. >> i'm thankful. i'm so glad the girl is alive. >> yeah. >> but i don't understand why hindsight is 2020, why didn't he just walk behind her and see where she's going. >> walk her home. >> she's clearly upset and afraid. >> this is a perfectf ing ter allegation anyone else. erlf

>> the fact that the mother was trying to de-escalate the situation. she was very aware of the optics and she got down to the same level as that deputy to say, what's going on? >> use of handcuffs is just inexplicable. >> i think a lot can be learned here. thank you. coming up, we will take you to florida's space coast. see why the stakes are so high for today's test flight of boeing's brand-new space ship. we'll see what that bad boy looks like. come on back. hauls like an f-150, thinks like an f-150, and powers like an f-150, it must be an f-150, hybrid. the 2021 f-150 powerboost hybrid with 570 lb ft of torque and 12,700 lbs of max available towing. ♪ irresistibly delicious. ♪ with 570 lb ft of torque ♪ pour some almond breeze. ♪

on this launch pad at cape canaveral, florida, nasa and boeing are counting down to a

high stakes test flight are the starliner space flight. nobody will be in the capsule but boeing needs to proof the starliner can fly safely to and from the space station before astronauts are cleared for trips. mark strassmann has the story. >> good morning to you. boeing's starliner flies autono autonomously, but 18 months ago software issues derailed the first flight. today's launch is the company's expensive doov-over. the main customer is nasa and nasa will be watching closely. >> 3, 2, 1. and liftoff! >> reporter: space is hard. so hard it can make even the biggest aerospace company in the world feel small. >> now passing through max steam. >> reporter: for boeing that was december 2019. >> and we have good indication of separation of the orp

capsule. >> reporter: minutes after separating from the rocket's second stage boeing's starliner flew into trouble. its on board engineseer boostin spacecraft into orbit. that did not happen. >> we do have an off nominal insertion reported. >> reporter: another problem, flight controllers could not communicate with starliner. by the time they could, it was too late. without enough fuel to reach the international space station, starliner returned to earth. >> starliner touches down on the desert in new mexico. >> reporter: they recommended 80 actions before starliner flies against. >> reporter: chris ferguson has spent the last decade developing boeing starliner. >> reporter: was it humbling? >> i think humbling is a good word to use. everyone took a step back and look and see where we came up short and see where we needed to sort of bolster.

company wide there was a lot of introspection. >> reporter: in 2014oeing multi-billion dollar contracts to ferry its astronauts to and from the i.s.s. both companies suffered set backs. >> look at them go. >> reporter: but spacex has flown ten astronauts over three flights to the i.s.s. in the last year. >> do you still believe having a second option is necessary? >> absolutely. >> reporter: bill nelson is nasa's administrator. >> what if we had only selected boeing? we would still be on the ground. we would still be relying on the russians. i think the proof's in the pudding. >> reporter: nobody will follow this flight more closely than the people training to fly on the first crewed flight like mike fink. >> from what we can see and all the testing we've done on the ground, we think it should go well. boeing has put a lot of effort and a lot of their heart into

this spacecraft and we're looking forward to watching it and enjoying it with them. >> reporter: the new and improved starliner rolled out of boeing's factory and off to the launch pad. the capsule was hoisted on top of the atlas 5 rocket ready for today's launch, boeing's chance to redeem its space reputation. >> is there a fair amount of pressure on the company to nail this one? >> there is a perceptible need to go out and be highly successful. some of the pressure is self-induced. they want to see us be very successful as well. >> reporter: boeing will spend $400 million repeating this test flight. if today's launch is a go, starliner will dock to the i.s.s. tomorrow, spend a couple of days there and come back to earth on monday. if all goes well, boeing could begin flying people by the end of this year. anthony, a lot riding on this rocket for boeing. >> 400 million.

specifically, the investigations found that governor andrew cuomo sexually harassed current and former new york state employees by engaging in unwelcome and nonconsensual touching and making numerous offensive comments of a suggestive and offensive nature that created a hostile work environment for women. the investigators independently cooperated and -- corroborated and substantiated these facts through interviews and evidence, including contemporaneous notes and communication. this evidence will be made available to the public, along with the report. aber of women puhagesexual har cuomo. and on march 1st of this year,

the governor's office made a referral to my office, pursuant to state executive law 638 regarding these allegations. executive law section 6338 permits the new york attorney general's office, with the approve of the governor, or when directed by the governor, to inquire into matters concerning the public peace, the public safety, and public justice. this referral issued by the governor enabled by office to appoint independent, outside investigators to look into these allegations. and on march 8th, 2021, anne clark and june kim, they were officially deputized as special deputies. miss clark and mr. kim and their respective firms were chosen to lead this investigation because of their decades of work at the highest levels. their deep expertise on matters

in question. and their careers fighting to uphold the rule of law. >> anne clark is a partner where she focuses on employment law issue on behalf of employees at trial and appellate level said. and during her more than 30-year career, miss clark has represented clients in a variety of employment, sexual harassment and other discrimination cases in the private sector in government. she has deep experience with retaliation, whistle-blower, breach of contract and compensation and benefit cases. june kim is a clearly, gotly, steam and hamilton, llp, and for more than two decades he has worked at the highest levels of government and private practice. from march 2017 to january 2018,

he served as the acting united states attorney for the southern district of new york. as the most senior federal law enforcement officer in the district, he over saw all criminal and civil litigation conducted on behalf of the united states. before becoming acting united states attorney, mr. kim served in various leadership positions in the office, including deputy united states attorney, chief of the criminal division and chief counsel to the united states attorney. mr. kim and miss clark are experienced, credible and deeply respected professionals. and together they insure this investigation was both independent and thorough. over the course of the five-month investigation, the investigators spoke to 179

individuals. including complainants, current and former members of the executive chamber, state troopers, additional state employees, and others who interacted regularly with the governor. in addition, they reviewed more than 74,000 pieces of evidence. including documents, emails, texts, audio files. and pictures. these interviews and pieces of evidence reveal a deeply disturbing, yet clear picture. governor cuomo sexually harassed current and former state employees in violation of both federal and state laws. the independent investigation found governor cuomo harassed multiple women, many of whom were young women. by engaging in unwanted groping.

kisses, hugging, and by making inappropriate comments. further, the governor and his senior team took actions to retaliate against at least one former employee for coming forward with her story. her truth. governor cuomo's administration fostered a toxic workplace that enabled harassment and created a hostile work environment where staffers did not feel comefortable coming forward given the fear and power dynamics. the investigators found governor cuomo's actions and those of the executive chamber violated multiple state and federal laws. as well as the executive chamber's own written policies. this investigation has revealed conduct that corrodes the very

fabric and character of our state government. and shines light on injustice that can be present at the highest levels of government. but nun of this, none of this would have been illuminated if not for the heroic women who came forward. and i am inspired by all the brave women who came forward but more importantly, i believe them. and i thank them for their bravery. and i thank the independent investigators for their professionalism, despite the atacts and for their dogged determination. that brought us to the truth. and now we will hear from june kim and ann clark, who will walk

old, had asked her about her sex life, if she ever had sex with older men, saying it was inappropriate. everything we heard today is what we've been reporting and hearing for the last several months, that women said they were sexually harassed, comments. and this was a toxic work environment, which is what we heard from letici james. governor cuomo said he did nothing wrong. in fact, an interview that he reread it said i was eager to get to the facts. well, the facts today point to what the attorney general said, that the governor of new york state harassed women, violated their rights and these were state and federal crimes that were committed. >> we should note at one point that governor said he felt embarrassed and apologized for

making anyone feel uncomefort lk. but he has denied any wrong doing. ricky, we heard the attorney general say the governor violated multiple federal and state laws. what could this lead to for the governor? >> other than dealing with sexual discrimination and retaliation, you're dealing with the crime of forcible touching in the state of new york. if it occurred and is proven within four years of indictment and groping have to do with touching someone in their private areas, could get to the level of touching of the back to the but ocs.

and the allegation of groping a woman's breast that has been in the public as an allegation. in addition, we have to consider the poslkt of the federal government if they look at this. is this a civil rights violation? can itby within the statute of limitations? however, when we're dealing with the governor, anthony, we're not only dealing with criminal trials and civil cases, but we're dealing with his political future because ultimately there is the question of impeachment by the new york legislature, who is spokesperson on the assembly side had said the report of leticia james would not be sufficient by itself. that it would be one element of consideration.

if they went forward with impeachment, they would look at other things, such as the book deal, if there were imprurities writing the book. and deal with the question of the nursing home scandal. so, the governor is literally fighting for his political life. certainly we know that as of today. >> and he could have faced charges down the road. once again an independent investigation by the new york state attorney general has found governor cuomo sexually harassed multiple women, violated multiple federal and state laws with unwelcome nonwanted tohioms and creating what they call a hostile work environment. you can watch it or download our app on cell phone or connected tv. there will be more tonight on

and then i read a quote from you that suddenly makes you relatable to all of us and it was this, this is not easy. it's not an easy week at all. i would say the majority of them were not. you can't sleep right. you can't nap. you're shaking all the time. i probably lost 10 pounds. i'm going to weigh myself when i get back and eat some food. first of all, thank you for being honest. >> yeah. >> second, tell us more about that. >> yeah. it's a lot easier to do these interviews when you're honest, don't have to hide anything. it's a week of hell if i'm being quite honest. being on the podium is enjoyable but the majority of what -- not just myself, not just swimmers, i think majority of all athletes. it's not really fun the core of the whole process. you go your whole life for one moment that boils down to a race that lasts a couple seconds. if you're a little bit off that day, i wasn't perfect in any race. i wasn't perfect, you know, mindset wise going into any event. every ready room is different,

every year is completely different. there's parts of it that suck but at no point in that quote did i say none of it was worth it. it was a great learning experience. every part i do enjoy. >> pressure is fine but it's when you turn it into stress that it becomes a problem. what do you mean? >> pressure is fine. i can't do anything about what people expect me to do. it's irrelevant. i don't care what people expect me to do at these games. it's all about me. it might sound a little selfish but it's what i want to accomplish and reaching my potential. everybody else's opinion, they can kick rocks. it shouldn't pertain to me. >> when you think of olympians, we don't think about vulnerability. when you hear simone biles and lean into it, did you feel it gave you permission to be vulnerable. >> every athlete handles it different and for the majority of -- for every athlete, no one else's opinion should matter. it's up to the individual. simone, what she did, it was her

choice and it shouldn't pertain to anyone but her. so i think a lot of people shouldn't open their mouth. if you're against her, it shouldn't -- it shouldn't like affect you in any way, shape, form what this one particular athlete is doing. >> did you talk to her at all while you were there? >> i didn't see any of the gymnasts. i'm not sure if they were in the village at all. i do remember in rio -- she doesn't remember this because i was -- no one knew who i was in rio. i think i sat next to her at lunch one of the days. some of the gymnasts ate with some of the swimmers. >> what did you learn about yourself during this time, during this process? >> i learned that i gave myself credit where credit is due. >> yeah. >> it's tough. you have to refocus. you have the next race up in 15, 20 minutes. forget about it, pat yourself on the back and move on. >> can you show us what you have there? >> yeah. meagan helped me pack. >> thank you, meagan. thank you. nkts snuck those in. >> they did a good job.

>> beautiful. >> wow. >> let me see this. >> wow, wow. >> i've never held an olympic gold medal. >> i am struck by your humility. you seem to be humble by what you've accomplished. this is great and wonderful. i get the impression this doesn't define houthi of yourself and who you are? >> no. the fun part is i got to be part of the race. anybody would kill to be in my situation. an olympic final competing for your country going for a gold medal. anyone would want to be in a situation. i don't need that for me to be able to remember what the fun part was for me. >> do you equate this to life changing? >> no. no. >> why not? >> i don't want my life to change. >> you like it the way it is? >> i liked my life the way it is. if i'm being honest, the sport was more fun before everybody knew my name. >> people are so proud of you, cheering you on. how you represent us.

the 2021 marathon trials faced an unimaginable decision, leave zoey behind for ten days or give up her lifelong dream of going for gold. >> it was such a terrible choice to have to make. >> as a parent, you know, everything that i do is a teaching moment like if i decided not to go, what would i tell zoey when she got older? would i tell her i didn't go to the olympics because i wanted to be with her? that's a lot to put on the baby. >> she detailed her anguish on social media alongside photos of breast feeding zoey. she and her partner tim decided to have a baby after last year's games were postponed. but she will run the olympic marathon seven months after giving birth is extraordinary. determination that led her to appeal to the head of the ioc asking its decision be reversed. soon after it was.

dressel said before which was the victory for him was being there. it meant everything to him just to be part of that final race. the medal was less important. >> very unusual to hear an athlete, certainly an olympic athlete speak the way i thought caleb did. normally et cetera aides how many medals can you win. how many golds can you win. he has such a chill attitude about that. i hope he stays that way. >> when the medals surfaced on the table suddenly he immediately passed it off. i would have been sitting there caressing zblem how about that he didn't even come to the medal. he only got them because his wife said we have the medals. bring them out. >> that was not top of mind. >> i probably would have been wearing all five. >> i definitely would have been wearing all five. >> the celebrity is something that comes along with it. it's not something he leans into or loves. he couldn't wait to get the hell out of here and go get something done. >> for aliphine that's a victory already. >> it strikes me in 2021 we have
