>> you know, it's not a crazy idea. and people who do decide to rebuild in a place like paradise, they're often even safer than they were before the fire because that place has already been burned. >> reporter: jennifer gray thompson is founder of after the fire, a nonprofit that helps people decide if they should rebuild. >> people do live in the woods now, because it's naturally ocurring affordable housing often. so when we tell people don't live in the woods anymore, i say let's actually help the people now who are not fire affected to actually remain in place. >> reporter: today fire threatens nearly 40% of all homes here in california. well-intentioned firefighters were first trained to put out wildfires beginning in the early 1900s to protect a growing population. but all of that dead vegetation left behind worsened by drought led to a fuel source that if in paradise, efforts are focused on protecting against future fires. all power lines will be buried

underground, and also residents must also remove vegetation too close to their homes. federal grants are offered to homeowners who use fire resistant materials to build their homes. do you feel like the new paradise is more resilient if there was wildfire nearby? >> yes. i do. the likelihood of seeing another wildfire in paradise, it already devastated our whole community. >> reporter: not everyone agrees enough to return. while paradise has seen record growth, the current population is only a third of what it was before the fire. >> paradise is a microcosm of broader issues that our nation is going to have to grapple with more. >> reporter: researcher ryan miller is tracking our nation's growing climate migration and the conflict it's causing. >> i'm hoping with some of the work we understand from paradise we can get ahead of some of those issues and prevent those disasters from happening later down the road. >> reporter: but for miller, this issue isn't just academic. it's deeply personal. >> this was before we even got back to the house. >> reporter: we'll bring you

lord and give him their life. and that's what happened. i probably had a lot of anxiety at that point about my future, but as i began to study the word and a lot of dr. stanley's teachings and sermons, i began to realize that, through the love of jesus, god saved me for a purpose.

challenges, many of them children. >> i love seeing the smiles glow on their faces after they've done it. at first, like, the ocean may be a place of fear, but those kids are fearless. just talking to these kids and seeing what they've gone through, it's crazy. and to know what we take for granted. >> reporter: what's that like as a mom to see him want to help other people? >> i'm so grateful. i'm truly so grateful. >> reporter: aj's mom and dad are his biggest cheerleaders. as one of five children in the family, their son learned to be a team player early in life. >> i think he was able to recognize the opportunities that he was given and the people that helped him when he was little. and i think he is just as excited to be that guy for some of these other little guys. >> reporter: you get good grades? >> yeah, i try to. >> reporter: when he is not surfing, aj somehow finds time for jujitsu, snowboarding and of course his family. >> i'm trying to get my little brother into it. he is about to turn 2.

already waterlogged state. flash flood warnings were issued for parts of miami, dade and broward counties where rainfall rates of several inches an hour submerged streets and snarled traffic. massive flooding causing a massive headache on interstate 95. officials shutting part of the highway after it became too dangerous. cars in hallandale beach had trouble keeping up, water there stranding drivers on the sides of roads, while in nearby hollywood, blinding downpours inundated entire neighborhoods. the rain forcing ground stops at miami and fort lauderdale airports, causing delays in excess of seven hours. >> we were looking at renting a vehicle to try to make it even to orlando, maybe get on a flight. but that isn't going work either. >> reporter: in lee county on the gulf coast, emergency officials had to rescue at least one driver from floodwaters. while further north, a possible tornado brought down trees and power lines in martin county. the storms are part of a system that pummelled the sunshine

time russian warships have pulled into cuba. but u.s. officials say this appears intended by vladimir putin as a high profile response to the biden administration's support for ukraine. a frigate has been used in the past to test one of russia's newest hypersonic missiles. >> we're always constantly going monitor any foreign vessels operating near u.s. territorial waters. >> reporter: two american destroyers, plus two ships specially equipped with sonar for tracking the submarine along with navy patrol planes, even saildrones shadowed the russian flotilla as it made its way across the atlantic into the caribbean. the russian ships are expected to remain in havana until next week before getting under way again, perhaps for venezuela. when they do, officials say, the u.s. navy will start shadowing them again. a nuclear-powered submarine in havana evokes memories of the 1962 cuban missile crisis. but national security adviser jake sullivan says there is no

the same in an attempt to ease rising prices. the board now says it only plans one rate cut some time this year. previously the fed had considered three cuts. >> we know that reducing policy restraint too soon or too much could result in a reversal of the progress we've seen on inflation. >> reporter: fed chair jerome powell said the board wants inflation down to just 2%. cbs news business analyst jill schlesinger. >> until the fed is convinced there is a long-term trend that is in place, i don't think they're going to be ready to cut rates any time soon. >> reporter: some analysts are predicting a rate cut in september, but others believe it might not happen until the end of the year. danya bacchus, cbs news, los angeles. the sports world is mourning the death of one of basketball's most famous players. jerry west, the legendary nba star began his professional career in 1960. he went on to be elected into the basketball hall of fame three times, first as player,

welcome back to "cbs news roundup." i'm shanelle kaul in new york.

despite some welcome news on inflation, the federal reserve announced it will be keeping interest rates where they are, at least for now. last month, the consumer price index rose 3.3%, down slightly from april. one thing keeping inflation from falling further, the skyrocketing price of insurance for everything from cars to homes. jo ling kent has more. >> reporter: insurance agent joy sharp of north carolina knows a thing or two about homeowners insurance and still she was stunned when she got her annual bill. >> my policy was $1,800, and it renewed at $6,000. >> reporter: what did you think when you saw that number? >> i kind of thought it was a joke. i kind of thought okay, this is crazy. the rates went up. but the coverage on my home did not ncrease very much. >> reporter: sharp is not alone. inflation has pushed homeowners insurance rates up 11% in 2023 alone. sharp says her clients are feeling the squeeze too. >> they're really having a hard time making these payments. >> reporter: the average insurance policy nationwide on a

home with $300,000 in coverage is $2,230 a year, or $185 a month, depending on where you live. if rates were to go up another 11% this year, that would mean an extra that each year, or $20 a month. so why are rates climbing? real estate company redfin points to extreme weather and higher costs. what is inflation doing to the cost of home insurance right now? >> the cost of everything is going up, and that includes the cost of maintenance for homes, the cost of remodeling homes. and that goes into the equation for home insurance. >> reporter: if your insurance premium has gone up, there are a few things you can do. bundle your home and auto insurance for the best rate possible. call around for additional quotes. and consider investing in weatherproofing your home, including storm-proof windows, landscaping, and drains. >> instead of sending the money to the insurer, you can use it to harden your home and potentially get a lower premium in exchange for that.

>> reporter: fortunately, sharp negotiated her premium back to $2400 and recommends if you're shopping around -- >> you have to check and make sure that they're not tricking out of coverage that's very important. >> reporter: of course homeowners insurance is just one of the many things stretching budgets even further. in the terms of the big picture of the economic situation, later today the federal reserve is expected to hold interest rates steady in an effort to kick this stubborn inflation. but it's unwelcome news for many people who are looking to break in on the cost of building, buying, or remodeling homes. jo ling kent, cbs news, new york. inflation is also up in the restaurant industry. overall, restaurants are having their best year ever, but lower wage families are staying away, and that's got some fast food analysts slashing prices and others going out of business. elise preston has more. >> reporter: it's chow time at america's eateries. restaurant sales are projected

to break records this year, but for many diners, inflation is taking a bite out of their budgets. >> going to dinner is one of those dopamine hits that i can't afford it. even if i can't, i'm still going to enjoy it. >> reporter: this appetite for dining out is fueling what is expected to be $1.1 trillion in sales nationwide, a big jump over the $864 billion restaurants made before the pandemic. >> after years of struggling, restaurants seem to be having a really good year right now. >> it's been a banner year for restaurants in the u.s., and ultimately, what we're seeing is many are celebrating in this year of strength, but it's a have and a have-nots. >> reporter: still, higher prices for food and labor have forced some restaurants to declare bankruptcy or close locations, including red lobster, applebee's, and

california-based rubios. >> $20 minimum wage, it's been a dagger for california restaurants. >> reporter: 80% of americans now consider fast food a luxury item, and they're looking for ways to save by choosing cheaper restaurants or eating at home. >> you look at the lower end consumer, that's where you're seeing much more pressure. >> reporter: also boosting interest in restaurants, social media from tiktok trends to better takeout and delivery options. elise preston, cbs news, los angeles. inez, let me ask you, you're using head and shoulders, right? only when i see flakes. then i switch back to my regular shampoo. you should use it every wash, otherwise the flakes will come back. tiny troy: he's right, you know. is that tiny troy? the ingredients in head and shoulders keep the microbes that cause flakes at bay. microbes, really? they're always on your scalp... little rascals... but good news, there's no itchiness,

>> reporter: archaeologist raffaella bosso. so we're inside the tomb now? >> yes. >> reporter: discovered in 1981 the old-fashioned way by digging. now they've traded their pickaxes for this. all right. so what is this doing here? >> well, this is our detector. >> reporter: a detector of subatomic particles known as muons, thanks to breakthrough technology, physicists like valeri tioukov can use them like an x-ray machine to see through hundreds of feet of rock. no small feat when you consider this archaeological site is located 60 feet directly below an apartment building in one of the most chaotic cities in the world. you can still see the frescos inside of this burial chamber. now just on the other side of this wall, archaeologists long suspected there was another burial chamber, but this wall is more than three feet thick. they would have had to knock it down just to peek inside. but now thanks to this new technology, we know for sure that it's there, and they didn't even have to bring a shovel.

we head to his laboratory at the university of naples, where researchers scour the images from that detector. in the span of 28 days, it captured about ten million muons like this one. >> there, this is a muon. >> reporter: after a month of painstaking analysis, they're able to put together a model of the burial chamber closed to human eyes for centuries and now open thanks to particle physics, what seems like science fiction is also being used to look inside the pyramids in egypt. chambers beneath volcanos and even treat cancer, says this professor giovanni. >> especially cancers which are deep inside the body. and this technology is being used to measure possible damage to the healthy tissues surrounding the cancer. >> reporter: so this is only the beginning? >> yes, exactly.
