on sunday. russia blames ukraine for the attacks, which are intensifying rapidly in and around moscow the drones are doing very little damage they're small and light. these seem more akin to psychological operations, to expose ordinary russians to the conflict and embarrass president putin. over the weekend, ukraine's president zelenskyy didn't claim responsibility for the drone attacks, but didn't exactly deny them either. saying the war is now shifting to russia, calling the move justic thorning, russia retaliated with its own droneikes, targeting a student dormitory in the ukrainian city of kharkiv. there were no students in at the time that was not the case yesterday when russia fired two missiles at an apartment building full of civilians in president zelenskyy's hometown, killing officials say at least six people, including a young girl and her mother ukraine has promised not to use

dr. mcfadden, clarification is needed because this is a bit confusing. for years we have heard more young people are being diagnosed with colorectal cancer, so, as a result, they lowered the age to 45 for averagek. now this group is saying 50. what gives >> it's confusing, and it gives me heart burn at the same time because we've had such a progression of young people accepting the challenge to be screened we still know more than one out of ten people are being diagnosed with colorectal cancer and it's still a diagnosis we see many older people which led to this particular group saying, well, is there really risk benefit here, right? if we know we're finding less colorectal cancers in this group, how might we screen them better the concern i have is are we going to discourage people, con feuds people about getting the test g >> the recommendation is, what, screening every year starting at nstead of 45 >> at the age of 45, yes>> but g

the american cancer society is saying 45 is the year. >> and manoups are saying that i imagine there would be a lot of conversation about that in the upcoming days. >> what would be the reason of changing the age, other than there are fewer people in that group who get it because as craig was pointing out, we have done stories the last few months saying the number of young people getting it is actually improving so give me concrete reasons on why. >> well, it comes down to two things cost the population cost versus the indial cof caring for patients are we being responsible with tn >> it'nsive et the . >> it's technicallpensiv the number of people gng ing.

according to the national retail federation but vicky nguyen will help us lower that cost by secondhand shopping. u. >> i know. what a great idea. so let's talk about clothes and shoes. >> first before you spend a single dollar, go around your kids outgrown?what have your what aome items you may ve hose items to yoocal thrift sto there are plato's closet, cross roads. they will buy your items and give you cash or sometimes you get more value if you accept a store credit now days you can also shop online i love this. ebay, thread up, posh mark all websites where you can even search by brand for things that your kids might want as they get older and might have specific ideas what they want for back to school clothes or shoes. this is the time of year, they'll have denim, lunchboxes, backpacks. the thing about shopping secondhand, you should inspect those items carefully. looking at stitching, zippers. >> online that's tough. >> don't be shy about asking

questions to the seller. could you send me a picture of the bottom of those shoes. if they're legitimate seller, they will be happy to accommodate you. pop the items in the washing machine, shoes, backpack, lunchboxan be ed t's leatheash it. >> how do you get a good deal on electronics? >> a big part of the $890 is electronics. buying secondhand can help you save think about these very reputable sellers these days back market, swappa and best buy, amazon, apple also sell refurbished open box items ke read the firint on thanties and tefun period also, check your credit card dy does this butetimes credit c have xtra benefit. 'll cover secondhand elecics if something breaks down if you hased it

when do an iteme, do an internet sh for device to wipe it cleanause that takes care of potentiamalware t that and anything crazy that might have been on it before you also want to request something called the imei number, the international mobile equipment identity number. it's 15 digits go to swappa or website called check med. enter that to make sure the device isn't stolen before you buy that. >> we're getting in the weeds. that's good to kno >> youo wantcall your cell phone carrier, hey, can i activahis device befyou buy it >> always be aware of those pee electronics. stick wiame brandsthere's a sca where they present you with a phonom the outside it looks legitimate, like the real thing you get it home and the guts have been swapped out. the right ry card. hav the ca there's only one camera instead of three that is something you have to be aware of. >> okay. thank you, vicky.

>> let's say we bought something secondhand, we have to return it what's a good way to do that safely, in person. >> so the key is you try to do your research ahead of time so you don't return it because it's really tough times when you're on the marketplace or buying something peer to peer. when they're done with you, they're done with you. research the seller. go online. look at their profile. do they have real reviews or look like a lot of copy pasted the same comment over and over if that's the case, steer clear of that person any time you're going to meet someone whether selling or buying in person, there is inherent risk. so you want to go to a safe exchange zone. that's a police department a lot of times they will allow you to go into their parking lot and lobby monitored 24/7 to do a safe exchange or don't want to go to the police station, go to a busy mall parking lot in front of a bank if you're doing a big ticket item. >> during the day. >> always do it during the day ing iend if you can.

if you cannot, m your nds and family knoere you'll be so they can check you. always trust your gut. if you're sitting there and the person comes up rolling up in a car with no license plate, blacked out windows, just go with your gut. >> might be shady. no deal is worth getting hurt. >> van, keep going. >> how do you want us to pay for these gutless phones >> once you've done your homework and certain you want to buy, take your time when you're there in person looking at this item whether it's a laptop or phone, use it turn it on turn it off. go through the apps. see how it actually works. don't let that seller pressure you into handing over your money. that being said, only bring enough cash for the actual product. you can also use a cashiers check. laptop, do that at a bank. if you're confident you want this item, you can consider using something like a venmo or zelle. treat that like cash once it's gone, you're not

likely to get it back if it's broken. >> if jyou're shopping on a website, could you wire me some money outside of the app, run. don't do it. because that's a sure fire way for you to send money and never to get the product back. finally, when ever possible, use your credit card lots of legal protections that way to get a refund if you need it. >> equal parts informative and terrified. >> gutless phone thing >> thank you, vick when we come back, we are going to go to summer camp, folks. morgan radford went to one where teenagers are learng to shape ni

welcome back all summer long, children have been busy making memories at camp so this morning, we're highlighting one particular camp that offers something beyond the usual activities like swimming and sports >> nbc's morgan an radford is he

with more. hey, morgan. >> this was such a cool camp i recently went to summer camp in new jersey and from the robots to the drones to the tech, it was impressive. high school students from all across the country from different backgrounds got to meet up on a college campus for a program called a.i. for all. nouz the camp's goal to encourage a new generation of young people, women, people from diverse backgrounds to shape the field of artificial intelligence themselves and for many of them, it all starts right here with summer camp typical amp. this is not your >> three, two, one, pull. >> reporter: instead of roasting marshmallows, these high schoolers at princeton university's ai for all camp are programming drones >> there it is. >> reporter: using artificial intelligence >> stay there. stay there >> reporter: so what is this >> this is the drone simulation. >> reporter: you all learned all of this just in the past three weeks? >> yes. >> reporter: that's incredible here they learn how robots move and think and even teach drones how to map out areas on

their own so they can do things like monitor forest fires in places that humans can't reach. >> we use satellite imagery to detect illegal mining activities. >> reporter: it all started back in 205 at stanford university as a way to close the gender gap in the artificial intelligence field. now it is designed to encourage women and students of color, reaching more than a dozen college and university campuses across the country last year there is a lot of fear around ai right now and this is part of what's driving a lot of people away they don't see role models that look like them they don't have a peer support network within this field. what we try to to is address all of this and demystify it. and reduce some of the fear. >> reporter: and in a data-driven industry, the data is striking. job postings for generative ai have increased more than 540% in the last three years but industry wide, women make up

just 30% of ai workers do you see a lot of workers that look like you, look like me, women of color >> not a lot i wish there was more. >> reporter: and it's a field where people of color are dramatically underrepresented. a trend these students say they plan to break. what would you say to other young women, ore people of color who may be hesitant to learn about this space >> don't be intimidated and be open minded to learn new things. >> reporter: to be curious >> yes. >> reporter: a new generation changing the technology that's changing the world don't be intimidated since it started back in 2015, ai for all has helped more than 1,600 high school students across the country what's even better, the program has expanded to include college students making that pathway to diversity in the ai industry even stronger. in fact, they hope by next year to recruit applicants from every single college in the country. >> that's a great idea, great idea. >> thank you, morgan. guys, coming up next, we will go outside and put summer
