absolutely going to have to learn a new way of doing business. >> the new general motors. it's smaller, but will it be smarter? a presidential trip but no harm done. as the g8 summit winds down, next for mr. obama, a one on one with the pope. and demonstration discrimination. protests grow over alleged racism at a private swim club in suburban philadelphia. >> how they were mad that black people were coming in here and how they didn't want these black people in here. captioning funded by cbs good morning. thanks for joining us. i'm michelle guillen. this is a big day for a smaller general motors. after a 40-day reboot, the new gm is being unveiled with fewer workers, fewer brands, and new

owners. you, me, and all the american taxpayers. let's get more from susan roberts in washington. susan, good morning. >> reporter: experts say gm's success now down the road is going to depend largely on its ability to let people know it's a different company and one that will build cars with equal availability or is going to outlast the japanese model. general motors is expected to emerge from bankruptcy leaner and greener. >> how that organization unfolds is really going to be the demonstration as to whether or not there will be a new gm or just a smaller, same old gm. >> reporter: the automakers' fresh start will mean 6,000 white collar workers will lose their jobs by october, and some 15,000 hourly employees will get pink slips by the end of next year. the new scaled down gm will focus on four core brands -- chevy, buick, gmc, and cadillac. the company is even consideration a facelift, changing its logo background from blue to green.

the government will now own 60% of the company. president obama says he's not interested in running the new gm, but his administration is picking the people who will. fritz henderson will stay on at gm's interim ceo, jeff whittaker will become gm chairman. and product chief bob lutz, who was set to retire, has agreed to stay on in a new role. >> i don't think they're going to come out of bankruptcy, and tomorrow we're going to sell a ton of cars. but i think they needed to do this restructuring for a long time. hopefully, things will be okay going forward. >> reporter: turning a profit won't be easy. gm lost more than $80 billion in the last four years. if it weren't for billions of dollars of government loans, the company would have hit a dead end by now. as for people who bought vehicles from the old gm, there is no need to worry. the new company says that warranties will be honored for purchases that were actually made before and during the bankruptcy proceedings. michelle? >> susan roberts in washington.

susan, thanks. the state of philadelphia is investigating accusations of racism against a private swim club in suburban philadelphia. they involve a group of minority children from a city day camp. the club in the mostly white suburb of huntington valley denies discrimination. but our philadelphia station kyw reports protestors say otherwise. >> reporter: the controversial decision sparked a community protest, and now the pennsylvania human relations commission is investigating. the anger now is even coming from some swim club members. they're outraged over their private club's decision to essentially kick out about 55 mostly minority children from the creative steps day camp. the kids, including 12-year-old marcus allen, swam at the pool on june 29th. they say at that time they heard racist remarks coming from other members of the huntington valley club. >> how they were like mad that black people were coming in here

and how they didn't want these black people in here. >> saying what are all these black kids doing in here and how she was afraid we might do something to their child? >> it hurt our children, and it hurt their children. no children should be hurt because of this. >> reporter: the club's president says allegations of racism simply aren't true, claiming he knew the ethnic backgrounds of the children from the start and "unfortunately, we quickly learned that we underestimated the capacity of our facilities and realized we could not accommodate the number of children from these camps." member amy goldman was there. she was at the pool when the kids from the camp were swimming. >> the kids were responsible. they were well organized. they were very respectful. there was no problem whatsoever. this is not a crowded hour of the day, not crowded at all. they're using it as an use, now they're back pedaling because they got caught. >> reporter: the day camp's check for $1,950 was refunded.

however, some feel that doesn't go far enough. day camp organizers say they have received offers from other camps in the area for the children to swim at. reporting in huntington valley, i'm ty quinones for cbs news. this final day of the g8 summit is devoted largely to africa. president obama and the summiteers are meeting with eight african nations from egypt to ethiopia and algeria and south africa. the g8 nations plan to contribute $15 billion over the next three years to boost agriculture and ease the contine continent's ongoing food crisis. mr. obama is heading to the african nation of ghana today as the last stop on his foreign trip. before leaving italy, the president will meet with pope benedict xvi from the vatican. joining us now is papal expert father thomas williams. >> good morning, michelle. >> father, what do we expect the

pope and the president to talk about during their time together? >> they'll have about a half hour together. i think boast men have already expressed in past days different ideas they have they'd like to bring up with the other. president obama has spoken about the environment. he's spoken about the situation in the middle east. they'll both want to speak about poverty, the economic crisis, and all the points of conversion they have. the open undoubtedly is interested in these things but will bring up issues of ger divergence, especially life issues. both men have been looking forward to the meeting and will start out talking about all the different points they have in common and get down to brass tacks, especially the elimination of extreme poverty and other points both men are concerned about. then they'll probably move on to discuss the question of conscience, protection for healthcare workers. the whole question of life in u.s. law and other questions where they tend to differ a little bit. >> could this meeting change

what some have called rocky relations of the president with the catholic church? >> i think both men hope so. a face to face relation always means a change in reports, not like written back and forth. the chance to get to know each other a little bit. they will have a half hour to be face to face to kind of hash through these issues. >> the president is not going to be alone. he'll be with the rest of the first family. is that unusual, or is that something that's been done in the past? >> that's been done in the past. the pope will meet alone with president obama while michelle is given a tour of the sis teen chapel. later, she'll be escorted in to join them and have a chance for a photo op. this has been going on for quite a while. a funny story a while back, raisa gorbachev, the wife of russian president gorbachev, came in wearing a red dress, which is completely against protocol. today michelle obama will be

wearing black. >> have all the presidents met with the pope through the years? i understand it wasn't since kennedy we've had a catholic president. >> that's true, but since woodrow wilson, all the presidents have made a point when they're in italy to visit the pope. mostly because of the moral authority he represents for the rest of the world. president obama has been courting the catholic vote in the united states quite assiduously. it's very important for him to be on the right side of the catholic church. >> father thomas williams in rome. just ahead, the money watch report. plus beating the baby odds. a florida mother gives birth to her third set of twins. first, katie cue irbg has a preview. >> she needed a heart transplant. he needed a hit. see how a girl and a major league baseball player helped each other achieve their dreams in "assignment america."

"the washington post" reports that the 80% taxpayer owned company is now asking the government to approve next week's bonus payments in an attempt to head off public outrage. federal officials say states need to get ready to administer a vaccine for the h1n1 flu virus. at least 1 million americans have been infected with the virus that's blamed for 170 deaths nationwide. several major drug companies are working to have it ready by mid-october in time for the flu season. paris hilton takes the stand today in miami federal court to testify against allegations she failed to adequately promote her 2006 box office flop "pledge this." she's being sued for breach of contract by her bosses at
