debate on the hill right now, it's like they're trying to stop a freight train with a piece of kleenex. >> the bills all need 60 votes to pass. that means for anything to change here in washington, savannah, it's going to have to be bipartisan. >> donald trump actually did weigh in on this, and it seems like he might be willing to take on the nra and side with this notion of no fly, no buy. >> i think that's right. this weekend he focused his remarks on how to keep the country safe, but he found himself at odds with the nra. trump argued that if more people at that orlando nightclub were armed with guns strapped to their waist and if they fired back at the shooter, the carnage would have been much less. but even the nra pushed back against that, insisting it does not believe people should be carrying guns in drinking establishments. trump has said he would meet with the nra suggesting he was on board with the law to try to keep guns out of the hands of people already banned from flying because they're suspended or they are known terrorists. savannah? >> a lot of moving pieces in politics today. peter, thank you.

speaking of guns, a connecticut judge will hear arguments on whether a lawsuit can continue against the semiautomatic rifle used in the sandy hook shooting. families of victims are suing remington arms which made the ar-15 style rifle used in that attack. the plaintiffs say the company knew the rifle was meant for the military and too dangerous to sell to civilians. remington's lawyers argue the lawsuit is barred by federal law that shields gun manufacturers from most lawsuits over criminal use of their products. a funeral will be held tomorrow for the two-year-old boy who was killed by an alligator at disney world. this as more changes with being made at the park with this tragedy. kerry is following that for us in new york. kerry, good morning. >> reporter: savannah, it's been almost a week since two-year-old lane graves was killed and attacked by an alligator here at disney world. this morning his parents and four-year-old sister are back in nebraska, preparing to lay him

desperate race against time. antarctica's unrelenting winter, a dangerous rescue operation. one, perhaps two, workers sick and stranded at the south pole station. a medical evacuation attempted only twice since 1957 when the isolated station opened. and this time of year, the sun never rises, the conditions so cold jet fuel freezes. during the 2001 rescue, a sick physician, the plane's flaps froze, thankfully freed by an engineer. >> otherwise the plane would have been stuck there for the rest of the winter. >> reporter: to avoid medical evacuation, workers on the research stations sometimes take extreme measures to treat themselves. in 1989 after jeri nielsen diagnosed herself with breast cancer, she administered her own chemotherapy for almost six months after continuing to serve as the nation's doctor.

inappropriately. the girl's mother, who asked us to withhold her name, is furious. >> we're angry at him, we're angry at the airlines, we're angry that this happened to our child. >> reporter: the unaccompanied teen was flying home from her father's house in texas. according to an affidavit filed by an fbi agent who investigated the case, the girl said camp sat down and began to lean against her, first brushing his arm with hers and later allegedly placing his hand on her upper thigh. the affidavit goes on to say an attendant saw the girl, who was crying. he was then moved to the back of the plane, citing misbehavior conduct. they said in a statement, we are committed to our passengers' safety. we take these matters very seriously and have cooperated fully and immediately with law enforcement officials in their investigation of the suspect.

their policy is that unaccompanied minors are introduced to the staff and introduced to the appropriate person when they arrive. it costs $150 for unaccompanied minors to fly. >> when family members are paying these fees, i think unequivocally, they're going to have their children watched and protected. >> reporter: american airlines was sued last year when another underage girl flying alone reported being inappropriately touched by a man. the airline denied any wrongdoing. the u.s. department of transportation said while the airlines tried to make the child's trip safe and comfortable, unaccompanied minor services do not include constant supervision on the flight. >> if we can get this process fixed or improved or changed so this doesn't happen to somebody else's child, then we want to do it. >> your sympathies are with the family, obviously, and the

concerns that regard the process. it's false to claim that the university requires students to take leaves without regard to their you anemic circumstances. >> none of that is true. there was no compassion. there was no fairness. my experience is it's actually the opposite. >> after 13 months of pleading, jasmine finally got the news this month that she'll be able to go back to the university of chicago. she's overjoyed, but says that lost year is a price students like her shouldn't have to pay. >> throwing away students like they did me is not the answer to helping someone. >> one study shows 40% of college students dealing with mental health issues never seek help. we spoke with expert who is said this is something that could make that problem worse. >> a complicated situation. >> there are genuine good intents. the question is are they overreacting sometimes. >> you hate to think a student wouldn't seek help because of

before. it was pristine and amazing, and the rest was basically in a giant swimming pool. >> it was an amazingly grueling thing to watch. i can't imagine having to actually do it yourself. is this something you fear in your own life, sharks, or are you kind of -- >> no, i actually had an amazing experience. i went diving with great white sharks and a conservationist. being in the water amongst them, it suddenly takes away that fear because you see them in movies and they're villainized, but when you see them in their habitat and you realize they're not actually hunting you, they're in their land. >> nancy is your character. she's brave, she's a medical student, so we know she's resource ful. >> yes. >> she kind of gets stuck literally on a rock. you can see the beach, but she can't get there because there is a shark between you. >> that's what's so frightening, hence the name "the shallows," because of global warming, sharks are pushed closer to shore. she's attacked, and you think of a shark attack being in the deep

ocean, but it's almost scarier when shore is right there, and it's so close. but it comes in handy that she's a medical student, definitely. >> i was impressed with the way she figured out how to survive. i figure i would be the kind of person that would sit on the rock and cry. >> that's the thing, she's not the most resource ful person to start, but it just shows the human's ability to survive when you're faced with life or death. >> this is a little different for a type of project for you, and i heard your hubby was kind of your inspiration because he had done a rather grueling and difficult shoot as well. >> he did a film called "buried" where he's in a coffin the entire time. i think that would be harder to do because you have to carry a movie in a box. at least i had all these beautiful settings and sharks that helped me. i hope you like it. >> you have a little girl. i have a little girl that i think they're about three months

we're back at 8:38. the tech giant apple is always rolling out new gadgets to tempt us with, and jenna had the opportunity to visit their place

in california. did you bring us anything? >> i brought nothing. my husband says they're considered the super bowl for developers, a company that's always changing and one that apple says is vital to their success. >> hi, it's me. it's sure great to be on the mac. >> that's right. siri is coming to the mac. >> with something called scribble. >> their lyrics! >> our latest mac 10 is called sierra. >> their latest may get consumers excited, but this conference really isn't for them. >> as we're opening up siri for developer develope developers. >> within this series, a new brand of developers. many of them are under 18. >> i want to make a difference in technology. >> reporter: this nine-year-old created a learning app called smart kids. she'll tell you all about it when she's done explaining it to apple ceo tim cook.

>> you must be new. >> this is our app and you can add the music, too. >> apple takes their next generation of app makers seriously. they hand-picked and paid for 350 students from around the world to come to their developers' conference. >> the new generation of app developers are the ones that are going to take these amazing platforms and products we've created, and they'll be the ones to establish what's coming next. >> reporter: long-time apple executives chester hair work closely with students. >> they're fully willing, ready and able to start their own thing. >> reporter: like 17-year-old greg mohica. his app viper has been downloaded nearly 200 million times. >> you can view what people are talking about entirely around you.

>> reporter: the conference saul about sharing with developers, and one of the few times a year when apple reveals their progress. secrets are closely guarded, even among colleagues. you've never been like, hey, come here. i'll give you a cup of coffee if you tell me what it's about. >> never. >> reporter: apple is being criticized for being perfectionists. apple says more transparency could be an opportunity for more feedback. software engineering director doesn't agree. >> i think our approach to how it works has been pretty successful so far. internally it does create an energy, enthusiasm and a commitment to the cause and to the product that we're trying to produce. >> reporter: one project in the works that cheryl could discuss is apple's new campus, which is set to open its doors early next year. >> we'll have open space, and we'll have a very collaborative environment and many more gathering areas where everyone who works at apple can just

brainstorm. >> reporter: a new generation ready to brainstorm. >> so what's next? have you guys thought about what you're going to work on next? >> i have. >> this is a question i get quite a bit. >> reporter: and take what they learn here to the next level. >> i just started and i want to do so much more. >> reporter: oh, my gosh, aren't those kids inspiring? apple is making it easier for young people to learn how to code. they just announced swift programs, a free program that makes writing code more fun and interactive. it's important that girls write code ask that's what they're trying to do. you look at those women i got to talk with, they're super inspiring, and a lot of them started working in the tech world before there were women role models. i'm all in. >> that new site looks amazing. >> yeah, and there's some great food, i think. but i can't tell you that because that's part of the secret i was sworn to. >> you focused on the right things at apple, the free food.

jenna, thank you very much. coming up, the legendary paul simon takes us inside his personal studio and opens up about six

in the '60s, willie loved him. >> he's got so many huge hits, and over the years his style and sound have evolved, and that is the case with simon's new album stranger to stranger. we caught up with him in his recording studio at his connecticut home. >> ever since i stopped making hits, i really started to think, whenever it begins, it begins. ♪ i stepped outside the back stage door. >> paul simon waits for the music to come to him, and it's been coming to him in

spectacular fashion for more than half a century. >> is it fair to say that your first inspiration comes from the instrument or some sound you hear somewhere and not the story you want to tell to the sound? you match the story to the sound? >> absolutely. i don't have a story or a point when i begin a song. >> has it always been that way for you? >> for a long time. at least since graceland. >> simon can't quite explain how the story comes to him from the sound, it just does, he says. and it has been since the early days of simon & garfunkel. the pair that first started singing together as kids in queens, new york and made hits that have spanned generations. ♪ like a bridge over troubled water. >> is it still satisfying to you to stand on a stage and sing a song you've been singing for 50 years or whatever it is, "mrs. robinson" or "the boxer" or "me

and julio," one of the classics, and see someone in the audience connecting? >> yeah, it can be. >> simon recorded four grammy hits, sold over 100 million albums worldwide. >> i'm listening all the time but that's sort of a habit or something i was born with. >> reporter: his latest release, "strange to her stranr to stran latest blend. it includes modern dance music, believe it or not, all mixed with simon's acoustics. >> rhethe reviews for this albu have been incredible. i know you say you don't listen to reviews, but does the reception to it mean something to you? >> i'm pleased, of course. i'm interested to know what people think, but in general, reviews have a certain amount of misinformation, whether they're positive or negative, that you

really don't need. >> so this is your laboratory. >> well, in a sense. >> stranger to stranger was recorded mainly here in his studio, filled with an eclectic array of instruments from around the world. >> they usually play them with spoons, you know. >> i love these. who was the artist that people would be most surprised that you listen to as you go through your music? >> oh, there are a lot. most of them go back to when i was a kid. "mystery train" by elvis presley. i could listen to it every day. fats domino, hank williams. >> reporter: at 74, simon is loyal to the music of his youth. but he's always looking forward. he continues to experiment, to write and to sing.

and then he leaves the rest to us. >> i do think that the completion of the song belongs to the listener. the song is either i don't like that or i like it. and i like it because, and then they have their reason why they like it. so they complete the songs. >> a lot of people wondering if simon & garfunkel will ever reunite again. simon says he loves playing the hits but a reunion is out of the question. simon is now picking up new sounds and you hear it on the new album. what a treat to be inside the studio with this mad genius. it was amazing. >>. coming up next, joy bower puts a healthy spin on a chinese food

food? unfortunately, one of the favorites, general tsao's chicken, has a lot of sodium. try this at home. marinate the chicken. mix egg white, reduced salt soy sauce, mix and add to chicken. marinate for at least 30 minutes. make sauce. bring pineapple juice to a boil. reduce heat, simmer until thickened for about 7 minutes. cool. once cooled mix in soy sauce, rice and wine vinegar, sesame seed oil, cornstarch. whisk together. spray skill let with non-stick cooking spray. cook chicken for about 7 minutes.

add sauce and saute for a few minutes. garnish with sesame seeds and then dig in. the joy food version for just 260 calories is in. you just saved yourself 740 calories. >> and joy joins me live. i love general tsao's chicken, but i just saw those calories and it blew my mind. >> we went from 1,000 calories to just 260. of course, the proof is in the tasting so you're going to see what you think. it's not only lower in calories, it's lower am sodium, sugar and fat. >> it tastes great. >> what's the big difference? >> the chicken is not fried, it's sauted, and also, there is month added sugar. and there's far less fat. >> that's really good and it tastes almost as good as the one you get from delivery. s y s. >> you make me very happy.

cost you 550 calories. that is the equivalent of eating two glazed donuts. but instead you can get four or five steeamed vegetable dumplins with a little soy sauce and it's 270 calories. >> my coworkers are stealing everything. >> pigs in blankets. >> i thought you had some of general tsao's chicken. fortune cookies are only 25 calories apiece, so you can always top off your meal way it couple of these. >> scarf those down. >> i got, luck helps ==topvo==

documentaries, was also involved in a movie called "rush" about formula 1 racing. he saw a documentary i did about jay-zee's music festival and he invited me into this process, and i had the opportunity to meet and interview, you know, ringo, paul, worked closely with the families. it's been great to get to know them. we focused on the touring years, so about '62-ish to '66 which is their final big tour, but it's such a dramatic and dynamic, exciting period. >> you remember the british invasion. what did you think at that time? >> i was so excited to get my beatle wave, and i see my wave looks a lot like george's. i tried to capture this period and make it as revealing and intimate about the band. through it all, there was a kind of brotherhood, a relationship. i didn't quite expect the power of that. i find that kind of emotional.

while all this was going on, their lives were changing, our lives were changing. they were creating and working on the road, and yet their artistry kept evolving in ways that's truly profound. >> is there a beatle you most identify with? >> i think paul mccartney and his sort of showmanship, his love of the audience and wanting to connect and tell a story is something that i probably relate to best, but they're all geniuses. their music speaks to all generations. it still does. it's remarkable. >> my kids love their music as much as i do. >> it's because of the genius of the writing and the execution, so as a storyteller, always looking for something that might surprise audiences. it's been really a pleasure. >> you've got "inferno" coming out, the latest adaptation of the dan brown book. it's been a while. >> it has been a while. and we don't look at this as a series we have to service. we look at them as individual stories written by dan brown.

they're great cinematic opportunities. when the script comes around, and we really believe the movie can be strong, then we go. it's a great acting opportunity for tom hanks. he knows what he's -- >> this goes way back, back to your "splash" days when you directed him. you must have great stories about tom. >> he's a pleasure, he has a great sense of humor, and it never really stops until you roll cameras, and then he locks in with such focus and intelligence. of course, when the lead actor or actress in a film carries that sort of creative ambition and that work ethic, it's a pleasure for the director. >> ron howard again and the beatles' "eight days a week, the touring years" on september 16. coming up next, we know he's good at hunting and fishing, but let's see how luke bryan does let's see how luke bryan does when he g technology is useful. let's see how luke bryan does when he g i just bought a book. and while i was telling you about the book,

we have a butcher shop, so we'll have the best beef and some ranch stuff as well, which is cool. >> you'll put the scallions just straight on. >> straight on. i've never had scallions. this is our chance to eat. >> you get a nice sear and cook it slow. once you have that going, you turn the grill right down and cook it slow. >> do you keep flipping it? >> you should flip it like every 60 seconds. >> if you want the recipe, just head to your website, today.com/food. coming up next, the marley legacy lives on. ziggy this is mister kitty. mom doesn't know we have him. it's something about "responsibility." i made you-know-who promise not to tell. but she's got the nose of a bloodhound. we have to be super duper careful. so we're using fresh step with the power of febreze. it doesn't mask litter box odors. it's designed to trap and eliminate odors for 10 days.
