6:01 pm
i'm jim axelrod, and this is a western edition of the broadcast. south carolina's recovery from the worst flooding it has ever seen took a few steps backward today as even more rain came down. an inch fell in just 15 minutes. 21 have been killed, 228 roads and 107 bridges with closed, and 20 dams have failed. the national guard is now handing out buckets of emergency supplies. david begnaud is in the hard-hit down of andrews. david. >> reporter: jim, the good news is the water seems to be dropping, albe it slowly. if you look at this home here on the brick, it seems to be down about a foot. here in the town of andrews, it rained here today, but before the rain started, people were out and about scrambling to get essential items like water to people who are surrounded by it tonight. on the shores of what is highway 41, volunteers were loading up a relief flotilla with food, water, and essentials.
6:02 pm
they hauled it three miles at slow speed on an urgent mission. >> by boat, pie humvee, helicopter-- whatever it takes, we'll get to them. >> reporter: robert stamper is the assistant fire chief in the town of andrews. today he was also a boat captain. there are 9,000 bottles of water and about 18,000 more available, and the police chief says there are nearly 1,000 people who have lost power to their water pump so they don't have safe drinking water. along the way, we passed flooded homes, a railroad crossing, and even a stranded rooster. from the air, we saw a satellite dish on the roof of a home that is under nearly 30 feet of water. >> how are y'all? >> reporter: as the boat reached the shore people were waiting. stephanie renn helped unload supplies. >> we're locke pretty much here besides going through on a boat. >> reporter: victims were distributed as quickly as they arrived. >> thank you, lord. >> reporter: mary davis was beyond grateful just to have
6:03 pm
water. brittany mendenhal needed diapers and got them. >> this is so helpful. this is good people get together and do this for us. >> reporter: assistant fire chief stamper says he has an obligation to help. these runs that you're making are outside of your jurisdiction. why are you doing it? >> well, somebody in need, we would try to help them. that's what we do. you know, it's not jurisdiction or any town limits or whatever else. if they need somebody we will do our best to get to them. >> reporter: chief stamper said he has never seen this kind of flooding and the water headed south two, three hours ago. we got a report water is now in georgetown, starting to enterprise there, about a 25-minute drive from here in andrews. >> axelrod: david, as far as the impact of this latest rain this afternoon what, are you seeing? >> reporter: look it rained for about an hour and it seemed to be a little bit-- i don't think it added to the amount of water that's here, but it didn't make it any worse. as one resident said, it's hard to imagine anything looking
6:04 pm
worse than it is. >> axelrod: david begnaud, thank you. it was a horrifying scene in turk effort two bombs went off today at a kurdish peace rally. no one has claimed responsibility yet in the attack that killed at least 95 and injured 240. it happened in the capital ankara. kurd are the largest ethnic minority in turkey. they have historically sought their own state, which the turkish government strongly opposes. holly williams has our report which we warn you includes disturbing images. >> reporter: hundreds of people were holding a rally for peace when instead, a terror attack ripped through a city street. two explosions just a few seconds apart left carnage on the pavement. with body parts scattered and survivors in shock, some made hopeless attempts to save those
6:05 pm
hit by the blast. arms and legs were flying up into the sky, said this man. "two of my friends were killed, but i survived." the worst terror attack in modern turkish history comes after a surge in violence between the turkish government and militants from the country's kurdish minority. the wave of killings began in july when a suicide bomber claimed more than 30 lives in the town of suruc. the turkish government said peace talks were impossible and began bombing kurdish militant camps. turkey is just three weeks from a national election in which kurdish voters could play a deciding role. and, jim, this country's fragile democracy is looking shaker than
6:06 pm
ever. >> axelrod: holly williams in turkey tonight, thank you. today, north korea staged a huge military parade and rally. at the center of the show of force, of course, was kim jong-un, the third member of his family to lead the country. seth doane was among the foreign journalists who gained rare access inside the hermit kingdom. >> reporter: they marked the anniversary the north korean way-- with tens of thousands of soldiers goose stepping through il square. marching with such exuberance, the ground shook. it was all to celebrate 70 years since the working party, but the spectacle put kim jong-un at the center of attention. this is quite rare for kim jong-un to give a speech like this. for the most part, he's been talking about the strength of the workers party, but he's also taking aim at the u.s. kim called america a tyrant and said north korea can "deal with
6:07 pm
any form of war america wants." it was sabre rattling on a grand scale. north korea showed off its artillery, drones, and long-range ballistic missiles. this is one of the largest ever ceremonial displays of military might in modern north korea, and believed to be the biggest since kim jong-un took power. no world leaders were in attendance, but china sent a high-level diplomat, which kim made a point to recognize. perhaps just as spectacular is the military muscle on parade was the display of breathless enthusiasm for their leader. among the masses was this couple whom we met after the parade. what does this display of military power mean to you?
6:08 pm
>> reporter: that pride, jim, was certainly evident. of course, the biggest threat in north korea's arsenal was not paraded down the street. in fact, it is top secret. north korea is believed to have between 10 and 16 nuclear weapons. >> axelrod: seth doane reporting from pyongyang, north korea, thank you. funerals were held today for the three youngest victims of the massacre at umpqua community college. quinn cooper, who friends said was one of the most compassionate people they knew. lucas eibel, described as kindhearted and an animal lover. and rebecka carnes who wrote, "and so the adventure begins" on her high school graduation cap. all three were 18 years old. thousands gathered on washington's national mall today to mark the 20th anniversary of the million man march. organizers called the peaceful gathering a "justice or else
6:09 pm
march." it was led by nation of islam leader louis farrakhan who spoke in favor of police reforms and men using foul language towards women and women getting abortion. congress may be in recess for a week but nobody is taking time off. this is a whirl of activity unfolding behind the scenes with the house in chaos over its leadership. many are urging republican congressman paul ryan to take over as speaker of the house. here is weijia jiang. >> reporter: today, paul ryan is in seclusion with his wife and three children contemplating his next move after a barrage of house republicans begged him to run for speaker. >> the fact is, paul ryan is the right man right now. >> i think paul ryan right now has the clout, he has the stature, that he could overcome a lot. >> are you going to run for speaker? >> i'm not. >> why not. >> because i don't want to be speaker. >> while he insists he doesn't want the the job, cbs news has
6:10 pm
learned ryan is seriously considering a run. >> he's got to decide does he want to come in and try and herd these unherded animals, or not? >> reporter: former house republican tom davis says ryan is the clear choice but says the position could jeopardize his political future. ryan, a candidate for vice president in 2012, may be eyeing a future white house run, and a stop at speaker is not on the tactical road map. >> this is a meat grinder to try to take this thing over, and a lot of people who have been his friends won't be his friends after a couple of decision. >> reporter: even in ryan decides to run, the same group of hard-line conservatives who discouraged majority leader kevin mccarthy from running may not give him the number of votes to secure a win. but, jim, if ryan does not jump on board, it's unclear what the republicans plan to do. >> axelrod: donald trump shared his thoughts on paul ryan asker was house with john
6:11 pm
dickerson. >> reporter: what do you think of paul ryan? >> i think he's probably that probably could get good support. i think he's a very nice person. i think he doesn't want it very badly but you never know. maybe he's playing one of the great games of all times. it is speaker of the house, a great position. he doesn't seem to want it. but i'll bet you if it was actually offered to him, he would take it. >> axelrod: you can see john's interview with donald trump tomorrow on "face the nation." also on the broadcast, republican presidential candidate ben carson. the secret service agent whose grace under pressure saved a president's life has died. it was march 30, 1981, jerry parr was at president ronald reagan's side when shots rang out, parr shoved mr. reagan into the back of a waiting car. parr then realized the president had been hit and diverted that car to the hospital. his fast thinking was credited with saving mr. reagan's life. in a statement, nancy reagan called jerry parr one of her true heroes. jerry parr was 85. it is a common problem for

6:14 pm
>> axelrod: the u.s. army is changing its policy on soldiers who are breastfeeding mothers. commanders must now allow time and disig a place for soldiers to pump breast milk. as contessa brewer reports, the acceptance of breast feeding and pumping milk is often measured in baby steps. >> reporter: emily beard is committed to nursing his eighth-month-old daughter, sasha. as a third grade teacher, that means using a machine at work to pump breast milk. >> i started pumping in a closet off of a conference room which is off the library. that wasn't working. so then i tried to pump in my
6:15 pm
classroom. now, my coworkers actually came in a few times even though i put a note on the door. >> reporter: just this week, american airlines apologized to a phoenix mom because a flight attendant ordered her out of a plane lavatory while she was pumping. >> she diminished me. if i don't pump regularly, my breast milk supply goes down. >> reporter: and when massachusetts mom liz cooper asked united airlines for a private place to pump -- >> the service agent directed me towards the family rested room or the pet relief center. i was a little horrified. >> reporter: she ended up pumping in plain sight in the terminal and while breast fooding in public is protected by law, pumping in public is not. federal law does require employers with more than 50 workers to provide pumping moms a place other than a bathroom shielded from view and free from intrusion. >> a lot of moms feel uncomfortable using the equipment in public. it's noisy. it's unwieldy.
6:16 pm
>> reporter: pediatrician julie capiola says she hears from mothers with pumping problems every day. >> when she actually feels the need to pump and can't, she could develop clogged milk ducts, and this can lead to infections. >> reporter: emily beard fears things won't change until pumping mothers express themselves. >> i feel like it's an uncomfortable subject. picturing a woman strapped to a machine and she's producing milk but there's no baby there in the picture. it's not cute. >> reporter: experts say the challenges of pumping are among the biggest obstacles for work moms who want to breast feed. the more difficult it's the, the more likely moms are to quit nursing sooner than they'd hoped, jim. >> axelrod: contessa, thank you. up next, a tragedy at sea brings a community together.

>> axelrod: actor randy quaid has been arrested while trying to re-enter the united states from canada. he's been living there with his wife since 2010 while facing a felony warrant or a california property dispute. quaid, who looks a little different from his hollywood days, is now being held at a jail in northern vermont. a dazzling display of daring in san francisco today was the blue angels flying in their famously tight formations forming gorgeous trails high over the bay. and it must be school picture time in brownsburg, indiana. we know that because the gose family has dusted off its favorite sweater. for three generations, every male gose has worn the same sweater for school picture day. chuck gose wore is in 1982, and this month, his son brady became the latest gose to wear the

>> axelrod: we close tonight in schenectady, new york at puzzles bakery and cafe. the symbol of autism awareness is a puzzle piece, but as you'll see, this puzzle goes far beyond just increasing awareness. the employees at puzzles bakery and cafe will tell you this is more than just a cupcake shop. andra moore is a cafe attendant here where more than half the staff has autism. >> you get a sense people really care about you and they really take the time to get to know you and just don't see you as less than. >> i do have three different flavors. >> reporter: it's the idea of owner sara mae hickey, a
6:27 pm
25-year-old local who saw the need for employment opportunities for young adults with autism. >> autism, i think when we talk about it, just in the general public, people talk about it as a childhood disability. >> axelrod: sara mae has known autism her whole life. her younger sister emily is on the lower functioning end of the autism spectrum. >> a lot of us are exposed in our everyday lives but it's really great to put a face on that and to know that the person bringing your lunch may or may not have special needs, and that's just normal. >> axelrod: the cafe offers pet therapy and other programs for those it can't offer jobs. since puzzles opened, sara mae has received about 600 applications, but the cafe can only employ 25. >> in a way, it's like, wow! that's amazing. i'm blown away. but it's also tragic. i mean, there are so many people who just want to have a job. >> what flavor? >> reporter: maddie hannon was one of the first applicants. >> it's like hitting a lottery

ticket. >> reporter: her father, don, says the experience has changed his daughter. >> she's opened up. she's willing to engage in conversation. before she wouldn't even look you in the eye to anyone. it was difficult. >> reporter: the puzzles family hopes they can help change the perception of autism. >> i'm an ambassador for people with autism who really just need somebody to show everybody that we're not "rain man" and we're not psychokillers, that we're good people and we, you know, make jokes and be relatable. >> axelrod: and they're asking for help. >> even if you just hire one person with autism, i think that will make a huge impact. >> axelrod: for their part, sara and her team are putting this puzzle together piece by piece. and that is the cbs evening news for tonight. later on cbs, "48 hours." for now, i'm jim axelrod in new york and for all of us here at cbs news, thanks for joining us and good night. captioning sponsored by cbs
