radiation. thousands were evacuated the area abandoned but tourists can come here and see where it happened. locals say since the miniseries started airing tourism is up 40%. >> such a sobering thing on the other hand, it's a beautiful place. >> it's very surreal being here. >> the radiation is always in the back of your head, but i wanted to see this so badly that it was a risk i was willing to take. >> reporter: in fact, the radiation is low enough that while living here has been off limits for decades, visiting is safe when we came to chernobyl we found a ghost town. >> it's like the clocks just stopped. >> reporter: this was the local doctor's office. these are people's medical records left on the floor. we carried a geiger counter. it started making a noise.

making it safe has cost the world millions the place now a monument to human frailty and a decades old lesson in the importance of protecting our world. >> you touched on this a bit i mean, in the u.s. people really love this show. but how are russians, the ones you are talking to there, how do they feel about it >> reporter: savannah, there are lots of them who really have enjoyed it and welcomed it others complain that it turns russia into the bad guy again. there was even talk of a russian version including a conspiracy theory that the cia was involved in some way in chernobyl that has no basis in fact. i think what it illustrates is how easily russia and america can slip back into that kind of cold war confrontation those stereotypes. that should worry us for another nuclear reason because remember

that both america and russia have more than 6,000 nuclear warheads each. put simply, human beings have the capacity for a far worse nuclear accident in chernobyl. >> no question adversarial relationship with russia vis-a-vis what happened with our elections. up next, controversy at the nba finals after an owner of the warriors shoved a player from the raptors. his punishment from the league and the safety concerns being voiced by stars like lebron james, that's right after this voiced voiced (deep breath, clap) ( ♪ ) we are all going for something more.

- i own you, doug. carson is here so we can hear more about that tattoo. >> i'm inspired. >> did we hear why the tat happened >> when did the tat happen >> ten years ago. >> really? >> did you fall back together, being able to just play, just natural all over again >> we were in cuba last year and we started playing acoustic songs, old jonas brothers songs. kind of started to click remembering harmonies. it wasn't perfect, but just getting back in the groove it feels so good to do this again, it feels right. >> you have a book coming out, right? >> yeah, it comes out in november it's called "blood." some of the stuff we couldn't fit into the doc i think people will be really interested. >> do your kids know the classic jonas brothers songs >> oh, yeah. i think those are their

favorite, other than "sucker" and a few from the new album there is a song their favorite, "year 3,000". >> i know you saw it halsey just did a cover. that was the best cover. >> we loved it. >> i know you put a video out. >> yeah. >> what's that like? >> she is from jersey. to watch halsey cover the song, it's an honor. she did an amazing job thank you, halsey. >> love it. >> you guys are singing s.o.s. and every kid in here, i guess they are not kids, 20-year-old knows every word is it so cool? >> it's a little surreal i never thought this would happen for us as brothers. to be back having this album out and being here with everyone today, it's incredible. >> kevin, you expressed concerns about fans showing up for the comeback what do you think, fans? jonas brothers still got it?
