most difficult days, berloni says he loves what he does, and has no plans to take a bow any time soon. when you look back at your career and all the animals that you've interacted with, what do you think? >> i think i'm the luckiest guy in the world. so. i just feel lucky that i've been able to do it. and i just feel a lot of gratitude. >> that was nancy chen reporting.

this is "cbs news roundup." i'm jessi mitchell in new york. president trump's new head of health and human services, robert kennedy, is coming under fire for his comments about the growing measles outbreak in texas. more than 130 cases have been reported. about two dozen children have been hospitalized, some in inensive care, and one child has died. none of them had been vaccinated against the disease. at his first cabinet meeting, kennedy, a long-time skeptic of vaccines said such outbreaks are common and incorrectly stated that the hospitalized kids are merely in quarantine. omar villafranca has the latest from lubbock, texas. >> this virus could have severe and deadly consequences. the patient has passed away from complications caused by the measles virus. >> reporter: a first in nearly a decade. covenant health in lubbock county, texas said wednesday one school-aged child died of measles after not getting the highly effective vaccine. across the state, at least 124
8:58 am
cases have erupted in nine counties. u.s. health and human services secretary robert f. kennedy jr., who has been critical of vaccines, says his office is monitoring the outbreak. >> we are following the measles epidemic every day. there are about 20 people hospitalized, mainly for quarantine. we're watching it. >> reporter: local officials disputed that claim. are they being quarantined at the hospital? >> no. we only admit patients who need to stay in the hospital because they need acute treatment that we can only provide in the hospital. >> reporter: dr. laura johnson says all patients hospitalized at covenant children's hospital are actively receiving treatment. >> in this case, it's really respiratory support. it's supplemental oxygen. we only want to admit those patients in the hospital who really need to be there. >> reporter: nationally, vaccines have dropped since the covid-19 pandemic. according to cdc data, in 2023, measles vaccination rates for kindergartnersers was below the
8:59 am
95% threshold needed for herd immunity. >> measles is one of the most contagious viruses that we know of. 90% of susceptible patients will contract the measles if they're exposed. >> reporter: symptoms for the measles include the watery eyes, a cough, fever, and of course that red body rash. now doctors stress the measles vaccine, which is given in two doses is 97% effective against the virus. >> that was omar villafranca reportering from texas. the measles vaccine is covered under insurance plans, but there is a growing population of homeless americans who have no health insurance. elise preston spent a day with one group delivering health care to those in need. >> who are we seeing next? >> we're going to be seeing isabella. she has been hit by a car a couple of years ago. >> oh my goodness. >> reporter: katherine and her team at health care in action provide medical care. >> there she is. >> reporter: to those living on the streets in los angeles.

>> you got it? >> yeah. >> how is your knee doing? >> reporter: the team treats izabela birdfeather for chronic pain, substance abuse and mental health. she escaped domestic violence last year and has been unhoused since. >> i was an encampment, and i came up to one of the workers, and i said can you please help me? and they said sure, we can help you. >> reporter: you're getting emotional. >> yeah. >> reporter: why? >> because they're so amazing. they helped me with doctor. >> reporter: it's help that routinely comes to wherever the patients are. in encampments, on sidewalks. many patients are seen weekly. >> you think about something as simple as using insulin. people on the streets don't actually have refrigerators where they can actually store their insulin. so you actually need to find creative solutions to be able to help them. >> reporter: dr. jain launched the program more than three years ago to combat the growing gap of people without stable housing and medical care.
9:01 am
today the nation battles an all-time high. nearly 3/4 of a million people are experiencing homelessness. why do you say at core it's a health care issue? >> well, i think many people find themselves homeless because they've had a health event. it could be a behavioral health issue. it could be a chronic disease that goes untreated. >> reporter: but the ultimate goal is to get people off the streets. >> just trapped in a nasty addiction. i continued to try to end my cycle of homelessness, but it kept failing. >> reporter: case manager eric barrera knows the hurdles firsthand. >> there is no way our patients can burn bridges with us. sometimes they might not want us to come back, but we'll just let them know hey, we're here in case you change your mind. >> reporter: hhi provides continuous care for at least 3500 people. >> usually when people interact with unhoused people, there is no interaction. >> people don't look at you. people don't talk to you. you don't get a care often. this is patient-centered care. we want the make sure you're getting what you need and we're doing what is going to make you

ukrainian president zelenskyy will be at the white house to seib a deal that will give the united states access to ukraine's minerals in exchange for continuing u.s. aid. it does not include any specific security guarantees. imtiaz tyab visited one of the mines in the deal and filed this report. >> reporter: it was in the soviet era four-by-fours we were taken to one of ukraine's largest titanium mines. we traveled over bumpy roads to a remote corner of the country to see the vast reserves for ourselves. to give you a sense of just how big this mine is, it's so big, you can see it from space. according to president trump, this was just a sliver of ukraine's untapped wealth, which includes large lithium, cobalt, graphite, as well as oil, coal, and gas deposits. which he wants a stake in as payback for three years of u.s. support in the war against russia.
9:06 am
in theory, the joint fund will invest in ukraine's post war reconstruction. but the country will have to hand over 50% of all natural resource revenues, something president trump insists will earn the u.s. between 350 and $500 billion. at velta, the company which operates the titanium mine, we met with ceo who said president trump's math was wishful thinking. "there is no definitive list of mineral deposits in ukraine and there is no monetary estimates of these deposit," he said. "so we might as well be transferring 50% of the surface of the moon." this may not be the moon, but estimates of ukraine's natural resources are shared by others in the field. still, broadski said it could
9:07 am
ultimately give president volodymyr zelenskyy what he wants which are security guarantees. "if five to ten american companies were operating in ukraine, then the u.s. would suggest placing american troops here." so really what you're saying is if the u.s. has more business interests in ukraine, it will almost automatically give your country security guarantees. "yes. this is how the military political system has worked forever everywhere." and when ukrainian president volodymyr zelenskyy goes to the white house to sign the joint fund agreement, he most certainly will not be getting those security guarantees. but what he is likely hoping for is to turn the page with president trump after an extremely tense few weeks. extremely tense few weeks. >> that was imtiaz tyab i was excited when i first heard of pronamel clinical enamel strength. this is a product that has our best enamel science yet. pronamel clinical enamel strength has 3 times better enamel protection, as well as repairs 66 percent of microdamage. i recommend pronamel clinical
