feeling that this is about protecting the church's assets and not doing the right thing. how do you respond to that? >> that is -- that is the reason why the bankruptcy offers an objective. basically the diocese, or anti-entity, turns over the books and says here is our status. here is everything we have attachments to. dan: i think it is a travesty. e survivors network of those abused by priests tells me the bankruptcy will be another barrier to discovering the truth. >> if they succeed, they will limit what survivors can receive in compensation and they will freeze the files that are so important to understanding what went on and what still may be going on. dan: that is going to be a crucial part of the bankruptcy case. can the diocese shield the assets of parishes and schools or will those contribute to the pot of money that will go to

but some can stop you in your tracks. like the tens of thousands of people who were diagnosed with certain hpv-related cancers. for most people, hpv clears on its own. but for those who don't clear the virus, it can cause certain cancers. gardasil 9 is a vaccine given to adults through age 45 that can help protect against certain diseases caused by hpv. including cervical, vaginal, vulvar, anal, and certain head and neck cancers such as throat and back of mouth cancers, and genital warts. gardasil 9 doesn't protect everyone and does not treat cancer or hpv infection.

your doctor may recommend screening for certain hpv-related cancers. women still need routine cervical cancer screenings. you shouldn't get gardasil 9 if you've had an allergic reaction to the vaccine, its ingredients, or are allergic to yeast. tell your doctor if you have a weakened immune system, are pregnant, or plan to be. the most common side effects include injection site reactions, headache, fever, nausea, dizziness, tiredness, diarrhea, abdominal pain, and sore throat. fainting can also happen. help protect what counts. talk to your doctor or pharmacist about gardasil 9. only at vanguard, you're more than just an investor you're an owner. that means that your goals are ours too. and vanguard retirement tools and advice can help you get there. that's the value of ownership.

plastic started about 60 year ago. it really has accumulated. spencer: while the plastics are often collecting in distant oceans, the effects can reach our shores with devastating consequences. seagulls are constantly entangled. >> every animal is vulnerable to ocean trash. it is one of the things that is so dangerous about this. we see a lot of california sea lions, elephant seals, harbor seals along our coastline. spencer: another study led researchers also documented the enormous volume of micro plastics being ingested by whales. but there are signs that the international community is waking up to the threat. there is a growing list of countries expected to sign the unit -- sign the new united nations high seas treaty to
