tissue. you have collateral damage in the war. it can fill with fluid. >> if i'm sick, how do i know when i should take action? >> recognize the warning sign, shortness of breath, lethargy, confusion. you're getting better and suddenly you get worse. this means you should get to the hospital. >> is it getting any better? is it leveling off? >> we think it may be. but we know there's time to get the vaccine. even though we know the effect activeness was 36%. in children 6 months to age 3, it was 69% effective and 79% of the kids who died were not vaccinated. please, get the vaccine. >> it's worth it. the u.s. is struggling to keep up in the medal race at the winter olympics. team usa is tied for six ktd place with ten medals overall.

it's monday, february 19th, 2018. welcome back to "cbs this morning." ahead, florida's school shooting survivors rally for gun control, hoping the massacre will be the last of its kind. we'll meet a teacher who is hailed as a hero for protecting his students and we'll look at the history of the "black panther" as a cultural milestone, not just a superhero mirror. but first here's your "eye opener" at 8:00. survivors of the deadly school shooting in florida say they're turning their anger to action. >> they're fighting for change for the 17 victims memorialized here. that's why they're getting on buses tomorrow to go to the state capitol. documents obtained by the

cbs news shows law enforcement and child social services had opportunities to intervene. >> it government most people's attention. >> internet research agency named in the indictment says it was controlled by a kremlin insider. >> and they're certainly hoping to add more hardware to that medal count and it could come courtesy of our athletes on skates. >> lebron james never shies away from making political statements. so when laura ingraham told him to shut up and dribble, he declined. >> i definitely will not do that. >> lebron james off the bench. they just won. the playground championship. the best pickup game you'll see. >> there can only be one mvp, and that is lebron james. >> i'm john dickerson with gayle

king and norah o'donnell. they say they saw many warning signs before last week's school shooting but did not act on them. the department says the mother called deputies to her home 39 times in a six-year span. >> the family who took cruz in was talking about it. they say he sent tests from an uber car. the lawyer describes him as pretty innocuous. he texted the family's son saying he had something to tell them but he did not elaborate. students and community members rallied over the weekend to support gun control. on "face the nation," stunts criticized florida senator marco rubio's response to the shooting. >> it's not our job to tell you, senator rubio, how to protect us. the fact that we even have to do this is appalling. our job is to go to school,

learn, and not take a bullet. >> senator rubio told our miami station wfor, there is room for the government to respond to the threat. >> it's not unsolvable. it should be addressed. i've never said we -- the report is unfair. i never said we can't do anything. i just said we need to aim to do something that works. what i have said is the proposals out there would not have prevented this, and that's a fact. >> rubio says florida's legislature could pass a law letting families or police to ask a judge to take guns away from someone who poses a danger. ernie rospierski, the history teacher, is being hailed a hero. he directed dozens to safety during a shooting. he was grazed by a bullet in a third floor confrontation with the gunman. he's been attending funerals over the weekend while others demand action in response to these killings.

ernie rospierski is with us from porkland, florida. thank you for joining us. we know this is difficult and painful and will continue this week. you saved students at your own peril. there are reports you were grazed by a bullet on your cheek, there are reports you saw cruz reloading his gun. what did you realize when it was not a drill. >> well, when i realizeded it was not a drill, the first thing i was yelling to the kids was get to cover. i was in the middle of the hallway at the time and i saw him point the gun at one of my former students. i saw him go down and then i grabbed all my kids i could and pushed them into -- our doors have a little alcove. i pushed them in there because it was the only cover i could find and four or five shots later it stopped and so that's when i poked my head around and saw he was either fidgeting with the gun or reloading and told my

kids to run and we left as fast as we could. >> you must be very proud of your kids because many people were saying this shooting feels different. these students are speaking out and they're speaking out in ways we have not heard before. >> the kids -- the students at stoneman douglas have been terrific. not just the kids you've had a chance to hear speak. but i personally witnessed one of my kids, peter wang, holding the door while bullets are coming at him. i don't know of many adults who would have done that, let alone a 14-year-old boy. and the students still around, able to talk, they're taking the opportunity. they're taking power and they're angry. >> ernie, the president said he's going to have a listening tour in the wake of this. what would you want to tell him about your students and what you've experienced? >> i'd want to say to the president that we have great kids. we have more great kids.

we have 14 great kids who needed protection that we couldn't give them. i lost three kids in my class. i couldn't help them. i shouldn't have had to. and it's one of those things that as a lifelong gun owner and a hunter, i'm not saying we should stop the second amendment. i'm not saying we should take the guns away from people. i say there's no point to people having an ar-15 and if somebody wants to argue on me with that, that's cool. you get your ar-15. we'll go to the range, i get to shoot at you, catch you with fragments like i did and after that if you want to buy said weapon, cool. then you're going to talk to a psychologist because that gun is not going to do anything but kill people. the gun chamber is not stable and it's in violation of the geneva convention. people need to know that.

people need to realize, especially the president because he has the most power in the free world -- in the world, and we need to do something to protect these children. not just my kids, but -- i have a 17-month-old son at home. i don't want to send him to school and having to face this stuff. i'm a 36-year-old man having trouble dealing with it. i can't imagine the students dealing with it. >> we all are. thank you so muching if being a teacher and leading so many students. we appreciate you joining us. >> my pleasure. >> we're thinking of you. president trump spent part of his weekend on twitter. he wrote, yesterday, quote, never said russia did not meddle in the election. the russian hoax was that the trump campaign colluded with russia. it never did. >> the president's comments stem from the special indictment on friday. it accuses more than a dozen russians carrying out a complicated meddling scream to

influence the 2016 election. the documents allege russians posed as americans and used social media to influence the vote. two trump associates are accused. good morning, paula reid. >> good morning. >> the dust has settled a little bit since friday. what do the indictments mean? >> well, this is very different than the indictments and the charges we receive against manafort, gates, papadopoulos, because no one here is likely to go to jail. it's hardly like they they're going to jail to face these charges. it lays out in specific details how the russians meddled in these elections and what crimes were committed under u.s. law because when you say someone meddled, what exactly does that mean. here robert mueller lays that out specifically. he says sometime it was pushing messages out on social media, sometimes paying people and

sometimes it was setting up rallies on the same day on opposite sides of the snooiissu >> when you look at it, and it surprised everybody, do you see tip of the iceberg or more tip of the iceberg? >> i think it's tip of the iceberg. he's laying the groundwork and explaining to the american people what happened. nund they'll explain whether americans knowingly were involved in this. the attorney general wassed ament. he e said no americans participated in this. but we know russians did pay americans to do this. >> the president took to twitter and said basically he's been cleared, he's out of the clear. has he been cleared? >> he is not out of the clear. he tweeted this was before the campaign. this is one of many. we know from sources that the

investigation continues specifically into whether there were any financial transactions between the trump campaign and russia and also this question of obstruction of justice. just last week investigators were talking to steve bannon and legal teams nobody is in the clear. >> the news will be this weeks that rick gates who work oddtown campaign, also a business partner of paul manafort, will enter a plea deal. what does that mean? >> it really turns up the heat on paul manafort who so far has given no indication he's intends to cooperate. gates is likely to provide information about manafort. they were charged together that. ire co-defendants and this is all part of the strategy. they want manafort to cooperate and provide information perhaps people higher up in the food chain, whatever he has. that's really the goal. so this is one way to really turn up the heat on paul manafort. >> a lot of the conversation

about paul manafort keeping it top secret. none of this is extraordinary when someone can sell you out for a bag of chips and a coke. >> absolutely. if someone were to offer me a bag of chips and a coke, i would do that. a lot of these charges zbemts papadopoulos on friday came out of nowhere. people didn't know. one reason he did that, he keeps his teams in little silos, little groups, so if anything leaks out, you know which silo it came from. >> thank you very much, paula. rex tillerson is using, quote, large sticks to respond to the north korea threat. on "60 minutes" last night he said diplomatic efforts will continue until, quote, that first bomb drops. >> did you call the president a moron? >> i'm not going to dignify the question. we've got so many bigger issues

to talk about. i'm not from this town. i understand this town likes to talk about a lot of things that are not really important. >> he talked about his potential resignation. quote, the only person who knows i'm resigning or not is me. >> it was an excellent interview from start to finish. "black panther" is having one of the biggest opening weekends every, but the importance of this movie goes

with why some believe they're pushing the olympics too far. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. he needed four revolutions this year, a 144012 years later to get the gold. it's the same trick that earned him 62 stitches during a practice crash. so have they pushed the boundaries now too far? >> it broke my jaw really bad in two places, ruptured spleen, collapsed lung, bruised heart. >> reporter: after nearly dying last year in a snowboarding accident, mark mcmorris loves doing what he loves most, catching air and what he calls ultimate joy. >> what's the first thing you remember after the accident? >> when they took me out of the coma and everybody was standing there. i couldn't talk, but they gave me a pen and paper and i wrote, do i have brain damage and can i go to the olympics still. >> not only did mcmorris make it

to the olympics, but he was a snowboarding bronze medalist. >> it was scary to try some of those tricks again, but i had to remind myself i got hurt in the backcountry hitting a tree. >> reporter: historian david wall enchin ski hen chen ski ha every game since 1962. >> it's great television. >> the british journal of sports medicine studied the sochi olympics and found that nearly 49% of all aerial skiers in that game suffered an injury. many of those are extreme sports which made their olympics debut in 2006. >> the international olympic committee several years ago decided they were losing the youth audience. not a lot of americans watch

biathl biathlons. but they'll watch snowboarding. they're going to get harder and harder until somebody suffers a complete paralysis during an olympicic event or actually dies. >> mark mcmorris said his sport has skyrocketed since he started competing, but he doesn't believe it should change. >> every sport has a lot of danger. just because it's an extreme sport it seems crazier. >> bottom line he said it's the passion of his sport that keeps driving him to try new tricks. we should point out there has never been a death in the olympic competition. gayle? >> very different way of watching the olympics. i just want to see good competition. >> you mean whether somebody's going to die? >> i just marvel at their ability and how they pull that

auchlt thank you, dana. coming up next, did kate middleton send a message about the "me too" movement with the dress she word on the red carpet the other day? you're watching "cbs this morning."

turn around fast-moving fad, last year the toy industry grew by 1%. >> special counsel's indictment shows how quickly media plaid forms were manipulated. twitter is brought up nine times and youtube once. the indictment accuses the russian internet research agency of stealing americans' identities, creating fake social media accounts, and immediately buying advertising. the russian agency involved hundreds of employees. the special counsel says russians also organized events like this anti-clinton rally called down with hillary. facebook estimates 126 million americans may have seen russian-linked posts.

nicholas thompson of "wired," good morning. how much is facebook involved with this complicated propaganda? >> interesting question. it's still under intensive debate. they should have caught it. you could also argue it was very well disguised. facebook is interesting. i think it's a sign that facebook cooperated quite a bit. you can actually read that in a good way for facebook. >> what's fascinated is if you dive into this indictment what they did with facebook, they were organizing rallies. they made up these groups and people showed up to the rallies. >> they organized rallies and targeted purple states. they're e-mailing tea party organizers. >> purple states meaning

battlegrounds. >> yes. >> it was a very close election. the question is did this make any difference in that. >> we should note that facebook says to your point about cooperating, they are continuing work closely with the fbi, homeland security and other companies on better ways to protect our country and the people on our flatform. can i ask you this question? can people say this, which is, hey, we have some culpability here, but americans who say she's associated with the devil or donald trump is need to think through what they're reading an engage in more active democracy. it's not all what's said in social media. can they say that or is that too defensive? >> one of the people quoted is saying the problem is not peoplpeopl facebook. it's people. we should not have been susceptible. >> of course, they hope to use people's emotions to keep them locked in. >> they have made an incredibly

sophisticated platform in targeting us in the most easy way. >> that suggests people not smart were open to this type of propaganda. there was a twitter account which was purported to be tennessee republicans anyone from kellyanne conway, donald trump jr., all of them tweeted these tweets that were made by russian trolls. >> they were very sophisticated and they're going to get more sophisticated and facebook is going to have to work really hard. >> can they stop it? >> i hope so. >> thank you, nicholas. huge crowds of people packed into theaters across the country. so far the film has raked in an estimated $192 million in the u.s. and canada. so that makes it the fifth highest grossing opening movie

-- can you roll that back? that makes it the fifth highest opening weekend in hollywood history. so it beat power houses. jericka duncan shows us how "black panther" is making its mark as a cultural phenomenon. >> reporter: the big cat is out of his cage and pouncing on the big screen. "black panther" is the latest in a long line of marvel comic book superheroes turned movie stars. and this one had fans in a feline frenzy. >> fantastic. fantastic. easily the best marvel movie. >> i was just so looking forward to this movie since the day the trailer came out. >> typically movie superheroes, whether men of steel, gods of thunder, or dark knight are white. so "black panther" has appeared to comic book fans as well as a

more general black audience. and when those audiences intersect, there's super excitement. the film holds special meaning for many longtime fans and particularly for ariell johnson. >> i feel like i might be comatose, carried out. >> a self-ascribed nerd is one of the first black women to open a comic book cool on the east coast. she opened amalgam coffee house two years ago. she's been waiting since she fell in love with comic books as a girl. when did yourlove for superheroes? >> i always liked them but it wasn't until 2011 i was introduced to "x men."

and the thing that grabbed me was storm. up until then i never saw a black superhero. there's something that clicks when you start to see yourself reflected back at you. >> reporter: it wasn't the first time. the three-part blade southeast beginning in the late '90s starred wesley snipes as a vampire hunter. >> but when you think about people who were around blade in that movie, it wasn't like an all-black cast. the thing about "black panther," its essentially a black movie, you know, like in hollywood terms, but usually when the movie is black movie, white audiences don't see it. >> that's not the case with "black panther." the box office tells of its tale of success. it brought in nearly $200 million and it had a score of 97%. >> i knew for a fact it was

going to be a huge success. >> reporter: john jennings is a proffers of media and cultural studies at university of california riverside and he's the co-author. >> it's not been seen in major multi-plexs before. >> reporter: images like ryan coogler leading a predominantly black cast and black royalty. it's set in a black nation, the fictional wacanda. >> flums we've seen are dealing with heavy subjects that are positing black suffering. i think "black panther" is a celebration what's at the end of the trauma. like this is about black joy. >> so what do you think about different about this film? >> because i think people are excited about it and because it's a marvel property, because it's well known care character,

they're going to be in their seats no matter what color they are. >> for "cbs this morning," jericka duncan, philadelphia. >> that's so exciting. i thought johnson made such a good point. this is showing that this is simply -- it's a black movie, no question, but it's a great movie, and that's more important. >> reporting from the back seat of my son's car was a huge debate about it. they love the movie and what's inside of it as much as his sister loved the message. >> i assume your son is white. >> he is. >> i'm making the point. >> and this is the first weekend. >> and that's what's so exciting. one skier had a more difficult journey than most athletes. don dahler shows us how he overcame the on stackals. >> reporter: this is the halfpipe and these are olympic hopefuls. coming up on "cbs this morning" you'll meet torin yater-wallace

catching air off of a little cliff. >> torin yater-wallace knows how to catch air and float in control as he flies off a 22-foot high wall. his death-defying tricks on the halfpipe makes him one of the most decorated skiers on the run. yater-wallace's packet to gold seemed inevitable. but days before the game, his mother was diagnosed with cancer, and following an accident during a routine treatment he suffered ayoung. yater-wallace finished a disappointing 26th place. >> your most life-threatening moment didn't happen on a mountain. it happened because of a tiny little microbe. but you almost were gone. >> you know, it's often a hard time to think about. to do a dangerous sport that

people have lost their life in competing in. my biggest life event was an infection to my internal organs. i was on full life support and really was on the brink of death. >> reporter: in 2015 yater-wallace developed a rare infection in his liver and gallbladder that put him in a ten-day medically induced coma. >> did you know at that time you were so close? >> i was in and out with a few doctors at the time and they said, you have a flu virus, hear's tamiflu and things got worse and worse. from there i woke up ten days later. at the time i didn't realize the extent of the situation. i was in dire pain and had never been so sick in my life. >> his father's absence added to the pain. he was in prison for defrauding clients. >> it's really frustrating for him more so than me when your son is, you know, on his death

bed and might not make it and you can't do anything. >> the mere act of breathing was a challenge, but yater-wallace soon recover and took fate into his own hands. >> it was one of the scarier moments in my entire life. it was a fluke and there was nothing i could have prevented from happening to me happening to me. ultimately i have to take the good from such a horrible event and use it as motivation to come back. >> reporter: and come back he did. just two months after his near death scare, he won the gold medal at the x games in norway. now with a renewed sense of purpose, he hopes to persevere within more time. >> doing helixes is such a cool opportunity. it's kind of that opportunity to go to this tournament of the country and kind of represent something bigger than yourself.

>> yater-wallace will soot get another chance to do just that. his mother is now kabser-free will be rooting alongside his sister and his father. >> niechls i like everything about him. >> he's been considered one of the best in the world since he was 14 years old. he grew up skiing and it's like walking for him. >> that's beautiful to watch. >> i like when you say the olympics is personal. you and you and you. >> he's not afraid of anything now. >> it's great he has his family around. >> thank you, don. you can hear more on our cbs podcasts. you're watching "cbs this morning."
