president's sons to keep up their pace of international travel, and whether eric or donald, jr., have considered reimbursing for the cost of secret service protection on their business trips, but we got no response. scott, the secret service told us it has effectively adapted to the unique challenges of each administration. >> anna werner, thanks. today the japanese company takata pleaded guilty to fraud charges for concealing a defect in its air bags that caused some of them to explode. takata also agreed to pay $1 billion in criminal penalties. at least 11 deaths are linked to the air bags, which led to the largest recall in automotive history, 42 million vehicles. coming up next, accountants take the blame for a certified public screwup at the oscars. and "moonlight" gives hope to inner city kids in the sunshine state.
