Steve Hartman, a veteran CBS News correspondent, and Lou Bope, a photographer, have spent the last eight years asking parents whose children were killed in school shootings for permission to take pictures of the empty rooms they left behind. Rooms that have become sanctuaries. A tangible link to a child they can feel but no longer hold.
Jada Scruggs
All these physical things are tangible ways of reminding me like she was real. She was here. She lived with us.
Scott Kindersma
Yeah.

Anderson Cooper
For decades, engineers have been trying to create robots that look and act human. Now rapid advances in artificial intelligence are taking humanoids from the lab to the factory floor. As fears grow that AI will displace workers, a global race is underway to develop human like robots able to do human jobs. Competitors include Tesla, startups backed by Amazon and Nvidia, and state supported Chinese companies. Boston Dynamics is a frontrunner. The Massachusetts company, valued at more than a billion dollars, is hard at work on a humanoid it calls Atlas. South Korean carmaker Hyundai holds a 90% stake in the robot maker. As we first told you in January, we were invited to see the first real world test of Atlas at Hyundai's new factory near Savannah, Georgia. There we got a glimpse of a humanoid future that's coming faster than you might think.
Leslie Stahl
Hyundai's sprawling auto plant is about as cutting edge as it gets. More than 1000 robots work alongside almost 1500 humans. Humans hoisting, stamping and welding in robotic unison. This may look like the factory of the future, but we found the future of the future in the parts warehouse tucked away in the back corner. Getting ready for work. Meet Atlas, a 5 foot 9, 200 pound AI powered humanoid created by Boston Dynamics. The rise of the robots is science fiction no more.
Bill Whitaker
I have to say, every time I see it, you just can't believe what my eyes are seeing.
Anderson Cooper
Is this the first time Atlas has
Bill Whitaker
been out of the lab?
Scott Kindersma
This is the first time Atlas has
Zach Jakowski
been out of the lab doing real Work.
Leslie Stahl
Zach Jakowski heads ATLAS Development. He has two mechanical engineering degrees from MIT and a mission to turn the robot into a productive worker. On the factory floor. We watched as ATLAS practiced sorting roof racks for the assembly line without human help.
Bill Whitaker
So he's working autonomously.
Brian Muehlberger
Correct.
Bill Whitaker
You're down here to see how ATLAS works in the field, and you'll be showing ATLAS off to your bosses at Hyundai.
Brian Muehlberger
Yeah.
Bill Whitaker
Feel like a proud papa?
Zach Jakowski
I feel like a nervous engineer.
Leslie Stahl
Tchaikowski has been preparing for this moment for a year. We first met him and ATLAS a month earlier at Boston Dynamics headquarters just outside the city, where he and his team were teaching ATLAS skills needed to work at Hyundai. And atlas, with its AI brain, was gaining knowledge through experience. In other words, it seemed to be learning.
Bill Whitaker
You know how crazy that sounds?
Interviewer
Yeah, a little bit.
Bill Whitaker
And I think a lot of our roboticists would have thought that was pretty crazy.
Steve Hartman
Five, six years ago.
Leslie Stahl
When 60 Minutes last visited Boston Dynamics in 2021, Atlas was a bulky hydraulic robot that could run and jump. Back then, ATLAS relied on algorithms written by engineers. When we dropped in again this past fall, we saw a new generation Atlas with a sleek, all electric body and an AI brain powered by Nvidia's advanced microchips, making ATLAS smart enough to pull off hard to believe feats autonomously. We saw ATLAS skip and run with ease.
Bill Whitaker
Do you ever stop thinking, Gee whiz?
Scott Kindersma
I remain extremely excited about where we are in the history of robotics, but we see that there's so much more that we can do as well.
Leslie Stahl
Scott Kindersma was head of robotics research, a job he proudly wore on his sleeve.
Bill Whitaker
You even have on a robot shirt.
Scott Kindersma
Well, once I saw that this shirt existed, there was no way I wasn't buying it.
Leslie Stahl
He told us robots today have learned to master moves that until recently were considered a step too far for a machine.
Scott Kindersma
And a lot of this has to do with how we're going about programming these robots now, where it's more about teaching and demonstrations and machine learning than manual programming.
Bill Whitaker
So this humanoid, this mechanical human, can actually learn?
Scott Kindersma
Yes, and we found that that's actually one of the most effective way to program robots like that.
Leslie Stahl
ATLAS learns in different ways in supervised learning, machine learning. Scientist Kevin Burgamon, wearing a virtual reality headset, takes direct control of the humanoid, guiding its hands and arms move by move through each task until ATLAS gives
Scott Kindersma
if that teleoperator can perform the task that we want the robot to do and do it multiple times. That generates data that we can use to train the robot's. AI models to then later do that task autonomously.
Leslie Stahl
Kindersma used me to demonstrate another way.
Scott Kindersma
ATLAS learns that very stylish suit that you're wearing is actually going to capture all of your body motion to train ATLAS to try to mimic exactly your motions. And so you're about to become a 200 pound metal robot.
Cecilia Vega
The calibration process is now complete.
Leslie Stahl
He asked me to pick an exercise. They captured the way I work as well.
Bill Whitaker
I am here at the AI lab at Boston Dynamics. All of my movements, my walking, my arm gestures are being picked up by these sensors.
Leslie Stahl
Then engineers put my data into their machine learning process. ATLAS body is different from mine, so they had to teach it to match my movements. Virtually more than 4,000 digital atlases trained for six hours in simulation.
Scott Kindersma
And they're all trying to do jumping jacks just like you. And as you can see, they're just starting to learn, so they're not very good at it.
Leslie Stahl
The simulation, he told us, added challenges for the avatars, like slippery floors and inclines or stiff joints, and then homed in on what works best.
Scott Kindersma
And it can eventually get to a state where we have many copies of ATLAS doing really good jumping jacks.
Leslie Stahl
They uploaded this new skill into the AI system that controls every ATLAS robot. Once one is trained, they're all trained.
Scott Kindersma
So that's what you look like when
Leslie Stahl
you're exercising and what I look like doing my job.
Bill Whitaker
I am here at the AI lab at Boston Dynamics. All of my movements, my walking, my arm gestures are being picked up by these sensors. This is mind blowing.
Leslie Stahl
Through the same processes, ATLAS was taught to crawl, do cartwheels. It didn't fare as well with the duck walker.
Scott Kindersma
Oh, that was fun. And then this happens.
Bill Whitaker
And then this happens.
Scott Kindersma
We love when things like this happen, actually, because it's often an opportunity to understand something we didn't know about the system.
Bill Whitaker
What are some of the limitations you see now?
Scott Kindersma
I would say that most things that a person does in their daily lives, ATLAS or other humanoids can't really do that yet.
Bill Whitaker
Like what?
Scott Kindersma
Well, just putting on clothes in the morning or pouring your cup of coffee and walking around the house with it.
Bill Whitaker
That's too difficult for atlas.
Scott Kindersma
Yeah. I think there are no humanoids that do that nearly as well as a person would do that. But I think the thing that's really exciting now is we see a pathway
Leslie Stahl
to get there, a pathway provided by AI. What stands out in this ATLAS is its brain Nvidia chips, the ones that helped launch the AI revolution with ChatGPT process the flood of collected data moving this humanoid robot closer to something like common sense.
Scott Kindersma
So the analogy might be if I was teaching a child how to do free throws in basketball, if I allow them to just explore and come up with their own solutions, sometimes they can come up with a solution that I didn't anticipate. And that's true for these systems as well.
Leslie Stahl
Atlas can see its surroundings and is figuring out how the physical world works.
Scott Kindersma
So that someday you can put a robot like this in a factory and just explain to it what you would like it to do. And it has enough knowledge about how the world works that it has a good chance of doing it.
Robert Plater
There's a lot of excitement in the industry right now about the potential of building robots that are smart enough to really become general purpose.
Leslie Stahl
Robert Plater, then then CEO of Boston Dynamics, spearheaded the company's humanoid development. He had been building toward this moment for more than 30 years. The cornerstone was this robotic dog, Spot, introduced about a decade ago. Spots are trained in heat, cold, and varied terrain and roam the halls of Boston Dynamics.
Robert Plater
So we have some cameras, thermal sensors, acoustic sensors, an array of sensors on its back that lets it collect data about the health of a factory.
Leslie Stahl
Spots carry out quality control checks at Hyundai, making sure the cars have the right parts. They conduct security and industrial inspections at hundreds of sites around the world. What began with Spot has evolved into Atlas.
Robert Plater
So this robot is capable of superhuman motion, and so it's going to be able to exceed what we can do.
Bill Whitaker
So you are creating a robot that is meant to exceed the capabilities of humans.
Robert Plater
Why not?
Ray Hudson
Right.
Robert Plater
We would like things that could be stronger than us or tolerate more heat than us or definitely go into a dangerous place where we shouldn't be going. So you really want superhuman communities?
Bill Whitaker
To a lot of people, that sounds scary. You don't foresee a world of terminators.
Robert Plater
Absolutely not. I think if you saw how hard we have to work to get the robots to just do some of the straightforward tasks we want them to do, that would dispel that worry about sentience and rogue robots.
Leslie Stahl
We wondered if people might have more immediate concerns. We saw workers doing a job at the Hyundai plant that Atlas is being trained to perform.
Bill Whitaker
I guarantee you there are going to be people who will say, I'm going to lose my job to a robot.
Robert Plater
Work does change. So the really repetitive, really backbreaking labor is going to end up being done by robots. But these robots are not so autonomous that they don't need to be managed. They need to be built. They need to be trained, they need to be serviced.
Leslie Stahl
Plater told us it could be several years before Atlas joins the Hyundai workforce full time. Goldman Sachs predicts the market for humanoids will reach $38 billion within the decade. Boston Dynamics and other US robot makers are fighting to come out on top of the. But they're not the only ones in the ring. Chinese companies are proving to be formidable challengers. They are running to win.
Bill Whitaker
Are they outpacing us?
Robert Plater
The Chinese government has a mission to win the robotics race. Technically, I believe we remain in the lead, but there's a real threat there that simply through the scale of investment, we could fall behind.
Leslie Stahl
To stay ahead, Hyundai made that big investment in Boston Dynamics 4 robots. We were at the Georgia plant when Atlas engineer Zach Jakowski presented Atlas to Hong Soo Kim, Hyundai's head of global strategy. He came all the way from South Korea to check in on the brave new world the carmaker is funding.
Bill Whitaker
What do you think of the progress that they've made with Atlas?
Chad Scruggs
I think we are on track about the development.
Bill Whitaker
Atlas so far is very successful. It's a kind of start of a great journey.
Leslie Stahl
The destination that humanoid future we mentioned at the start. Robots like us, working beside us, walking among us. It's enough to make your head start.
Anderson Cooper
Since our story first aired, Boston Dynamics unveiled an upgrade. An Atlas that's taller and stronger than the version we saw. The new Atlas will begin training at Hyundai's Georgia factory this summer.

Steve Hartman
Since the mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School In Newtown, Connecticut, 14 years ago, more than 170 children have been killed in school shootings across the U.S. they've left behind devastated families and friends and empty bedrooms they once filled with life. For many parents, these rooms have become sanctuaries, a tangible link to a child they can still feel but no longer hold. As we first told you last year, Steve Hartman, a veteran CBS News correspondent, and Lou Bope, a photographer, have spent the last eight years asking parents whose children have been killed for permission to take pictures of the empty rooms they've left behind. No easy task. They are, after all, portraits of a child who's no longer there. Up a flight of stairs in their Nashville home. Chad and Jada Scruggs took us to see their daughter Hallie's room. It remains as she left it one Monday morning three years ago.
Chad Scruggs
I don't think anything's changed.
Steve Hartman
Hallie Scruggs loved Legos, Tennessee football, and hiding things in a toy safe from her three older brothers. The books she and her mom read together at night are still stacked by her bed. A school project with important milestones in her life. A reminder. Hallie was just nine years old.
Chad Scruggs
First two, first soccer game, first Tennessee game.
Sharon Alfonsi
That was a milestone.
Chad Scruggs
Yeah. This is the first time they held her.
Jada Scruggs
I love that picture. I do wonder sometimes, like, what will we do with this room eventually? All these physical things are tangible ways of reminding me like, she was real. She was here. She lived with us.
Mom (Autotrader Ad)
Yeah.
Jada Scruggs
In some ways, this room kind of holds the space for her.
Cindy Muehlberger
And so.
Sharon Alfonsi
And it still does.
Jada Scruggs
Yeah.
Ray Hudson
Yeah.
Jada Scruggs
Yeah.
Leslie Stahl
Oopsies.
Steve Hartman
Hallie was killed along with two classmates,
Sharon Alfonsi
Evelyn Dickhouse and William Kinney, in a
Steve Hartman
shooting at the Covenant School in Nashville in 2023.
Sharon Alfonsi
What has grief been like for you?
Chad Scruggs
Felt like everything collapsed, everything internally, pain that, I mean, gosh, it's just hard to endure. And then, you know, you have to relearn how to do everything, like how
Sharon Alfonsi
to eat,
Chad Scruggs
how to sleep, and you just have a new relationship with pain and sadness and anger. There's been joy, too, but the sadness was, has been, was just, I mean, overwhelming.
Steve Hartman
Chad is a pastor at the church. That's part of the Covenant School. He was drawn to Hallie's room the day she was killed.
Chad Scruggs
I went into her room to lay on her bed to smell. I knew that would go. And I wanted. You knew that.
Sharon Alfonsi
You knew the smell would dissipate?
Chad Scruggs
Oh, yeah, yeah. And her blankie was there and everything
Sharon Alfonsi
was there, and you could smell her that night?
Chad Scruggs
Oh, yeah, absolutely. Yeah, that was true probably for a week or two after. So you're trying to get her back. It's not possible, but you don't believe that. And so anything that draws that possibility closer, I wanted to be there for that. So, yeah, I went in, just laid on her bed and cried by myself.
Sharon Alfonsi
Has your relationship to the room changed over time?
Jada Scruggs
Maybe it's not as frequent that I go up there, but the feelings haven't changed when I go in the room. You know, it kind of captures all the feelings of sadness and joy just because it's. It's a capsule of time.
Chad Scruggs
I think initially that room was, for me, it was an indication of, like, presence. And now it feels more of an indication of absence. You know, it feels more like a relic now.
Sharon Alfonsi
Like a relic.
Chad Scruggs
A RELIC, yeah.
Steve Hartman
Some 2,000 miles away in Santa Clarita, California, another room, another child killed. This is Gracie Muehlberger. She was 15. She adored her brothers and her van sneakers. She was killed six and a half years ago in the Saugus High School shooting. Cindy and Brian Muehlberger are her parents.
Sharon Alfonsi
Do you remember the first time you went into Gracie's room after.
Cindy Muehlberger
Right when we got home from the
Sharon Alfonsi
hospital, you went right to her room.
Cindy Muehlberger
Right to her room. And that's where I spent like, the next week or two. Yeah, I slept in her bed. I just. It's the closest I could feel to her.
Sharon Alfonsi
So did that feeling, though, of the room providing comfort, did that last for a long time?
Cindy Muehlberger
Yes.
Brian Muehlberger
Oh, yeah.
Cindy Muehlberger
Always.
Brian Muehlberger
Always.
Cindy Muehlberger
Yeah.
Steve Hartman
Gracie Muehlberger and Hallie Scruggs rooms are two of eight that were photographed as part of the project begun by Steve
Sharon Alfonsi
Hartman on the very first day back at school.
Steve Hartman
Who began covering these tragedies for CBS News 29 years ago. This was his first. A shooting at a high school in Pearl, Mississippi, two years before the massacre at Columbine High School in Littleton, Colorado.
It was news at the time. A school shooting was actually big news.
Sharon Alfonsi
As opposed to now?
Steve Hartman
As opposed to now. It still gets coverage, but it's usually a day or two and people forget about them. I'd say by the end of the week, many times.
Sharon Alfonsi
Initially, in Your mind. What was the idea?
Steve Hartman
I wanted to shake people out of this numbness that, that I was feeling whenever there was a school shooting. Now I was moving on quickly. I was forgetting the names of the children who were lost. And I knew the country was doing the same.
So eight years ago, he began writing letters to parents asking to photograph their murdered children's rooms.
Because when you go into a kid's room, you go into my kid's room, you see their whole history. You see every dream, every desire, every everything they value. It's all there on the walls and sitting on the shelves or scattered on the floor or scattered on the floor in some cases. It's all there. And I don't think there's really a better way to get to know a kid and to remember a life than to look around that room, to stand in that space.
Eight families whose children were killed in
Sharon Alfonsi
five different schools agreed to let photographer
Steve Hartman
Louis into their kids rooms. At an exhibit in New York, he showed us some of the 10,000 photos he's taken.
Bill Whitaker
You know, I'm trying to take a picture of a child who's not there.
Steve Hartman
Dominic Blackwell's room is still filled with spongebob. He was killed along with Gracie Muehlberger at Saugus High school. Dominic was 14. A basket of his laundry still waits to be washed. A toothpaste tube remains uncapped in the bathroom of 14 year old Alyssa Alhadeff, killed at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida. Charlotte Bacon loved Pink. She was 6, killed at Sandy Hook. There's a library book in her room that's now 13 years overdue.
Bill Whitaker
That's not a little girl's room. I don't know what is. And even this, this to me is so poignant, the way the head is tilted down.
Sharon Alfonsi
It's such a reminder that while everybody else moves on from what is a story to them, the families never move on.
Steve Hartman
That's part of the reason the families did agree, because it's very frustrating for them when the country moves on. And they certainly haven't moved on and will never move on.
Sharon Alfonsi
I think there's such weight in, for these parents in being the holders of the memory that they are the only ones who remember. Excuse me.
Steve Hartman
It's okay. What are you thinking about?
Sharon Alfonsi
I've been in a lot of these rooms as well. And there's such sadness in being the last ones left who remember everything about this child.
Steve Hartman
And that's why they can't surrender the rooms, because you surrender the rooms. And that's just another piece of their kid that's gone.
Steve Hartman's project is the subject of an Academy Award winning documentary on Netflix.
Sharon Alfonsi
It follows him and Lou Bope as
Steve Hartman
they travel across the country visiting rooms including Dominic Blackwell's and Gracie Mule Burgers.
This is what she was going to wear on Friday?
Cindy Muehlberger
Well, she was either going to wear this outfit or this.
Brian Muehlberger
She had like two set up.
Steve Hartman
Did you do this often? Prepare the next day?
Cindy Muehlberger
Yeah, Monday through Friday.
Steve Hartman
When Brian and Cindy Muhlberger received Steve's letter in 2024, they were considering moving, but didn't know how they could leave their, their daughter's room behind.
Sharon Alfonsi
How much of the discussion was about what do we do with the room?
Brian Muehlberger
I would say that was primary driver of us not moving sooner. I mean, after the shooting, we wanted to get out of town.
Sharon Alfonsi
But you didn't want to leave that room.
Brian Muehlberger
But we didn't want to leave that room. Yeah, you know, it's like, do you take a lot of pictures of it and then try to recreate it somewhere else? We didn't know what to do with it. And it really wasn't until this opportunity to work with Steve on this film that we started feeling a piece about it.
Steve Hartman
Last year, the Muehlbergers felt ready. They sold their house and packed up Gracie's room.
Cindy Muehlberger
This was from, I believe, when she was in Girl Scouts. It's cute.
Steve Hartman
They found mementos, artwork and cards she made they hadn't seen in years.
Brian Muehlberger
You are the best dad a girl can have.
Bill Whitaker
Love, Gracie Reed. P.P.S.
Brian Muehlberger
i love you.
Cindy Muehlberger
Oh, my goodness. All these treasures, right?
Steve Hartman
For now, they place them in a storage unit while they build a new home and a new life in Georgia.
Sharon Alfonsi
When you found this, did you know how you wanted to kind of incorporate Gracie?
Brian Muehlberger
Not initially.
Steve Hartman
This past fall, they showed us the plot of land where they'll live and an area they're going to create called Gracie's Point.
Sharon Alfonsi
So this is going to be Gracie's Point?
Brian Muehlberger
Yeah, this kind of area right here where when you're out here, you know, all you've got is nature and the
Sharon Alfonsi
water and a place to rest, a fire pit. A place where people can come together.
Brian Muehlberger
Come together. She loved doing s' mores and things like that.
Sharon Alfonsi
It could not be a more beautiful spot.
Chad Scruggs
Yeah.
Cindy Muehlberger
So peaceful. Which is what we were looking for.
Sharon Alfonsi
Is this project over for you?
Scott Kindersma
No.
Steve Hartman
If parents want us to, we'll continue to document the rooms just so they have the pictures. I wish this project would end, but I don't anticipate it will.
Back in Nashville, Chad and Jada Scruggs have no plans to change Hallie's room, but they did send some of her drawings and journals to an artist, Brenda Bogart, who created this collage portrait of her.
Jada Scruggs
Everything on this canvas is something that was made by Halle's hand. Brenda went through and noticed a theme of I am happy. I am happy. I am happy. She pretty much ended every journal entry with I am happy. She wanted to make sure that that got put on Hallie.
Sharon Alfonsi
When people see the photos of Halle's room, what would you like them to take away?
Chad Scruggs
This is not a generic person, you know, someone. That uniquely bore God's image in the world and irreplaceable. And we just want you to know her. You know she's worth being known. We don't have a lot of aspirations beyond that. We want you to come step inside of our world for a moment.
Sharon Alfonsi
So step inside the sadness.
Jada Scruggs
Yeah, and feel it.
Chad Scruggs
People can talk about solutions, but until they feel the weight of the problem, I don't know how to really talk about solutions.
Leslie Stahl

Lamino is not yet licensed to drive, not yet liberated from wearing braces. Already though, the world, like the ball he dribbles, is at his feet.
Summer of 24 Munich, Germany semifinals of the European Soccer Championship Remember what you were doing at age 16? Spanish soccer whiz kid Lamina Mal was doing this. A bit of sorcery that helped Spain vault to victory over France and eventually to the European title. And it vaulted Lemine out of adolescence and into global sports stardom. Turned out he was just limbering up. Now all of 18, he's a star winger for his pro club, FC Barcelona, aka Barca. He doesn't just score goals, he's a master of improv. Watch here. It's almost like slapstick comedy as he eludes a gaggle of grown men from the other team.
Interviewer
You're a teenager sometimes. These guys are 10, 15 years older than you. They've got kids at home and you're still clowning them.
Zach Jakowski
If I were a fullback, I wouldn't like it. If a player who's much better than me were to keep getting away from me all the time, I'd ask them, please slow down a little. Otherwise my friends would make memes about it.
Interviewer
What do you see as your soccer superpower?
Zach Jakowski
I think that I would like to brighten people's day. For example, if someone is sad, they can come to a game, watch me and feel better so they go home happier than they were before.
Scott Kindersma
Lamine.
Ray Hudson
This way, this way.
Scott Kindersma
Lamine.
Narrator (Lamine Yamal Segment)
Having finished second in the Ballon d', or, global soccer's equivalent of the MVP race, Lamine has currency with his generation.
Ray Hudson
Oh, look at this.
Narrator (Lamine Yamal Segment)
He's also enraptured soccer purists like 71
year old Ray Hudson, a former pro player, coach and broadcaster who's covered Lemine's games.
Ray Hudson
Astonishing.
Interviewer
How good is this kid?
Ray Hudson
He's extremely, extremely, extremely good. This is an absolute uncut diamond. There's times I've been watching him where I could swear that he's thrown his shadow the wrong way and the defenders are just bewitched by this shift of the weight. He's a skitter bug and like watching a dragonfly. You know how when you see a
Interviewer
dragonfly, it's put yourself in the defender's shoes. How would you defend that?
Ray Hudson
You have to ignore him, which is ridiculous, because once your Mal sends you the wrong way with that wonderful fame that he has, the defender has to pay to get back into the stadium.
Interviewer
He needs a ticket to get back on the pitch.
Ray Hudson
Exactly. Beautiful. Intoxicating to watch.
Narrator (Lamine Yamal Segment)
Try averting your eyes from the this. Note the touch and spin. Enough to shame a pole hustler that Lamine Jamal puts on the ball. It's also the playmaking and vision expressed in exquisite passes. The ball is more than a sphere. He kicks. He calls it his first love.
Interviewer
You ever talked to the soccer ball?
Zach Jakowski
No, I'm not that crazy. But it could happen in the future.
Interviewer
What do you think you might say to the ball?
Zach Jakowski
I'd probably ask it to marry me and to have lots of kids.
Narrator (Lamine Yamal Segment)
Inasmuch as an 18 year old can be said to have grown up, Lamine did so here in Rocafonda, a struggling North African immigrant enclave a half hour northeast of Barcelona. He was born in Spain to a Moroccan father and Equatorial Ghanaian mother. He found his footing on this concrete slab, a short kick from the Mediterranean. A make do soccer pitch, but also a promenade. The steps still double as bleachers. The graffiti reads, in the neighborhood of Rocafonda, more Lamina malls and fewer evictions.
Interviewer
I'm wondering what's more stressful, playing for Barca or being the little kid playing in Rocafonda against the big kids.
Zach Jakowski
I think that without a doubt, when I was in Rocafonda, because in the end it was a neighborhood where no one knew what was going to happen in their lives. This, the truth is, no one knew whether they would become a soccer player, an architect, a painter, or whether they'd find a job. You see your parents working, they can't be with you all the time. And you feel not nervous, but uncertain about what's going to happen to you today.
Narrator (Lamine Yamal Segment)
After Lamine scores a goal, he acknowledges the old neighborhood, the 304.
Interviewer
What does that symbolize? What does that represent?
Zach Jakowski
It's the symbol for our neighborhood's zip code. Because in Barcelona the zip code starts with 08 and ours is 08304.
Interviewer
So what is it? Right hand. This here. Okay. Yes, like that.
Narrator (Lamine Yamal Segment)
Just blocks from the concrete pitch in Rocafunda, Lamine's uncle Abdul runs the LY304 Cafe.
Interviewer
Do you think a few years ago I was teaching this kid how to tie his shoe and now he's scoring goals and bringing joy all over the world.
Leslie Stahl
Yes, Lemin was very savvy as a child, doing everything on his own. He has the maturity of a 25 or 30 year old.
Narrator (Lamine Yamal Segment)
Lamine's prodigious talent was such that he was spotted by Barcelona scouts at age 6. Soon he was taking the train to practice at La Masia, Barca's famed youth academy. From the start, he stood out. By 15, he was making his pro debut for Barca, the youngest player in the club's 126 year history. Two years and one die job later, he's lived up to his promise.
Interviewer
One thing that struck us watching you play is that when the game titans, you want to make something happen. You want to make magic.
Narrator (Lamine Yamal Segment)
Where does that come from?
Zach Jakowski
Where I used to play in my neighborhood, there were like walls where people would sit. And I think there was no better feeling than getting the people who were sitting there to stand up, to laugh at the opponents. I think it's the best feeling in the world. And something that reminds me of that a lot is when I'm playing on the field and the fans get up and are surprised by a play I've made.
Interviewer
I get the feeling you don't mind being a star.
Zach Jakowski
No, honestly, I don't. In fact, I like it.
Narrator (Lamine Yamal Segment)
Lamine's soccer sensibilities jibe with Barcelona. This is the city of Antoni Gaudi, the architect whose distinct buildings define Barcelona contorting possibility. Likewise, Lamine is not merely a creative talent, but a bender of convention. Still, he's most closely associated with another Barcelona icon, a player enshrined at the club's museum who played for Barca from 2004 to 2021 and won eight Ballon D'.
Interviewer
Or. You ever made it this far in an interview and not had to answer a question about Messi?
Zach Jakowski
I was surprised. Honestly, I was surprised because there were moments where you could have brought him up, but you didn't. So I knew the question was coming. But this topic has come up later than usual.
Interviewer
Should we get your standard answer or should we try to put spin on the ball?
Leslie Stahl
You can you can.
Interviewer
You ever hear the expression game respects game?
Zach Jakowski
I think that I respect him in the end for what he's been, for what he is to soccer. And if we ever meet one day on a soccer field, there will be that mutual respect. He's the best in history. We both know I don't want to be Messi, and Messi knows I don't want to be him. I want to follow my own path and that's it.
Narrator (Lamine Yamal Segment)
The Messi lemine bracketing began way earlier than fans perhaps realize. We visited Joan Monfort in his photography studio in the middle of Barcelona. He showed us a series of images he took in October 2007. Then 20 year old Lionel Messi posing with a three month old and his mother. The family had won a raffle to appear alongside a Barca player in a UNICEF calendar. That chubby cheeked baby, impossibly, it's Lamina Mall.
Interviewer
What are the odds that you have Lionel Messi on the verge of stardom? With Lamine Yamal now on the verge of stardom,
Joan Monfort
it's like winning the lottery. It's a 1 in 10 million chance and I don't know. Can you imagine if I told you right now that there's a photo of Michael Jordan giving a bath to LeBron James?
Zach Jakowski
LeBron James.
Narrator (Lamine Yamal Segment)
Monfort, of course, had no idea at the time that he was taking historic photos.
Interviewer
Do you believe in the soccer gods?
Joan Monfort
I didn't, but now I think I'm starting to believe in them a little bit.
Narrator (Lamine Yamal Segment)
Fast forward. Not even 18 years. Lamine's whole family, including his Moroccan grandma, came together last July when he signed a contract with Barca, widely reported to pay him around $30 million a season. That day he was also conferred number 10, the same number Messi wore, worried about the crushing weight of expectation. You got the wrong guy.
Interviewer
There's some noise as well. That boy. Life is coming at this kid so fast. And slow down. Lamina Mal, what's your response to that?
Zach Jakowski
Well, I would say that if, for example, you have a job and you get asked if you want to be the boss, what would you say? Yes or no? Am I going too fast? So that's my answer.
Interviewer
One thing we keep hearing is this kid's got it right. What is it?
Ray Hudson
How do you describe moonlight? How do you describe candlelight? How do you count the bubbles in a glass of champagne? I don't know. I just know when I see it, it's bloody beautiful.
Narrator (Lamine Yamal Segment)
Even Ray Hudson, for all his gushing, acknowledges there are plenty of blazing young soccer talents who fizzle out.
What could go wrong?
Ray Hudson
Any number of things. You know, injuries, personal disputes, his family life. And we'll sing it on the pitch, because the green doesn't lie.
Interviewer
Athletes have their fans and their support teams. Successful athletes have people in their circle too who can tell them no, who can call them on their nonsense.
Narrator (Lamine Yamal Segment)
Who is that for you?
Zach Jakowski
The truth is that everyone says no. Everyone in my circle says no to everything. I want to go out. No. If I say that I want to go out to eat.
Steve Hartman
No.
Zach Jakowski
The question should be who do you listen to? My mother.
Interviewer
Can you be a normal 18 year old at times?
Zach Jakowski
That's a difficult question, because in the end, an 18 year old kid gets out of school and goes home. I go out to practice while four paparazzi are at my house asking me questions about my life. I turn on the TV and I'm on tv. I walk down the street and I see a kid wearing my jersey. I want to go out for a drink and I can't because people will stop me. I always try to find the simplest things to do, like play video games or spend time with my brother. But yes, honestly, I do believe that I'll never be a normal 18 year old because people don't see me as normal and I won't be able to act that way.
Narrator (Lamine Yamal Segment)
Some athletes have signature tattoos, as you've no doubt noticed. Lamine has signature braces, loose brackets in Spanish containing him in a way defenders cannot.
Interviewer
Braces come on or off before World Cup?
Zach Jakowski
I wish it were up to me, but I don't know. I'll have to call my dentist and ask if I'll still have braces or not. But I think they suit me.
Leslie Stahl
I look good with brackets.
Scott Kindersma
Me, I look good.
Leslie Stahl
Yes.
Zach Jakowski
I'll leave them on then.
Interviewer
The goals and the assists are all well and good, but you've made braces cool. It doesn't get better than that.
Narrator (Lamine Yamal Segment)
With or without braces, Lemin and his Spanish teammates will be on the short list of World cup favorites this summer in North America.
Just ask the star himself.
Interviewer
Whether it's Michael Jordan or Muhammad Ali or Joe Namath, these are all athletes way older than you. There is a history of guaranteeing victory. So I ask you, does Spain win the World cup in English? Yes.
Narrator (Lamine Yamal Segment)
Spain plays its opening match tomorrow in Atlanta, where Lamine Jamal is expected to make his World cup debut after a hamstring injury late in the season.
