chelsea manning. in september of 2011 assange shared his mission with "60 minutes". >> if you're a whistle blower and have material that's important, we will accept it defend you and publish. >> reporter: >> reporter: last year they came under fire for publishing e-mails from democratic presidential nominee wikileaks. >> wikileaks i love wikileaks. >> reporter: the inquiry comes as the cia and fbi are looking for an insider, an employee or contractor, who exposed top secret government documents and hacking tools. sources familiar with the investigation said it was someone who had physical access to the material. from his ecuadorian embassy safe house in london assange said the 8,000 stolen cia documents were being passed around before wikileaks published the trove last month. cia director mike pompeo says assange is a national security threat. >> as long as they make a splash

>> good morning. this tank is part of the manatee hospital here. the two manatees in it, both needed critical care after they were hit by boats. the vets here heal them, but first they often just have to try to keep them alive. the larger deebts debate is whether manatees should be classified and protected as an endangered species. florida manatees are gentle giants. about 10 to 12 feet long, averaging 1300 pounds. grazing on plants in shallow waters along the state's coast. >> i'm looking for any kind of movement in the water. >> reporter: mike dunn helped us find a handful of them. >> manatee about 3:00. >> reporter: it took him ten minutes, because they swim right behind his house in crystal river, florida, where his charter boat takes out tourists. >> i really do care about them. they're a great gentle creature. they remind of the volkswagen in the 60s. it was ugly but everyone fell in

love with it. they're the same thing. >> reporter: in florida fast boaters mow down manatees. propellers gash, gouge and maim hundreds a year. bigger boats cut them in half. ray ball is the senior vet at tampa's lowry park zoo which treats wounded manatees and last year, set a record. >> we admitted 37 manatees. the majority of those were due to boat strikes. sometimes the injuries are quite catastrophic. >> reporter: in 1967, florida, manatees were listed by the federal government as an endangered species. at that time roughly 600 were alive. since then, their population has spiked, to about 6600. enough progress that last month they were reclassified as threatened. >> animals were out here being killed kind of one after another. >> reporter: pat rose should be celebrating the reclassification, right? he's not. this aquatic biologist is executive director of the non-profit save the manatee club. why is the reclassification

likely to hurt rather than help? >> it can hurt if it's not scientifically and also legally justified. so then you start to pull back protections which they say they're not going to do but we know there are user groups that want the laws reduced and they want to be able to run their boats faster. >> what difference does it make? >> the amount of money that goes into protecting endangered species is often more than what goes into a threatened species. >> reporter: as the manatee herd here has grown over the last four decades, florida,'s human population has also boomed. mike dunn is on the water nearly every day, protecting manatees from his other neighbors, the ones in boats. >> will you shout at another boater if he's not doing it right? >> i have no problem shouting at somebody. they're always in the wrong spot. >> they're going too fast. >> too fast. we try to tell and educate people if you hit a manatee call it in. we might be able to find him and save him. >> reporter: many manatees are

hit repeatedly by boats. experts estimate that 80% of manatees will be hit at least once. something else to consider, these manatees both are doing well, experts here have high hopes they can be released into the wild. >> thank you so much. that's good advice at least if you lit them call somebody. they could possibly save them. >> they can do something. >> i love the comparison to volkswagens. >> i do too. >> to this story have you heard diet soda might have serious effects on your brain. our doctor has the new research. >> pointing at me. >> why are you pointing at him? >> do you drink diet soda? >> yes. >> tiger woods just had another back surgery. ahead the impact golf has had o,

>> no, none at all. remember, this was mid '70s, early to mid '70s. if you asked me about climate change, i would have said, yeah, got warmer, i took my sweater off. >> and now it means everything to the global scientific community which has published his numbers in dozens of scientific papers. >> one of the days i'lread them, yeah. i wasn't out to prove anything. i just recorded the numbers. this winter we had 21 record highs. last winter it was 17. and the winter before 36. >> like most climate scientists billy is concerned by what his numbers show. temperatures are rising, and snow is melting earlier each year. >> it's worrisome, obviously. not a good trend. well, we lose water storage. well, will drought increase and will floods and famine increase? >> but billy leaves the big answers to questions like those to others. he heads out into the

wilderness, where there an an infinite amount of data waiting to be collected. john blackstone, colorado. >> it's a great country made up of of a lot of smart people. >> that preppy sweater didn't go with the look. >> looked like he was dressed for mixed doubles. >> i like what he's doing. >> very important what he's doing. >> mixed doubles anyone? a new national geographical series will look at einstein and how curiosity is a superpower behind einstein. >> hello! >> there's the hat. you can get -- >> can't wait to talk about,,

beautiful mind" and "apollo 13." genius is sexy. it's replaced reality television and people want to know how things are done and genius is a sexy way of accomplishing that. >> it gives the fuller picture of einstein and as "the new york times" described it, we see as a draft dodger, arrogant self-centered dreamer and a stubborn, curious soul. it challenges our perceptions. >> of him. >> all we know is the crazy hair, brian. that's all we know. >> crazy hair. >> genius in math, yeah. >> looking at a very attractive woman. he was a bad boy. i mean, he was a bad boy in every way. kind of an artist bad boy that had to flee where he was because of nazi germany. what was going on there. and come to america. but he was a superstar like he was very famous. >> you see him as the original

disrupter. >> yeah. well, i do see him as the original disrupter. but so do many of the disrupters like bill gates or steve jobs or steve bezos and they see him as the progenitor of that. he was the first person to really challenge anything that was kind of solid fact. which would be newtonian's physics and the way we experience the world. he prevail in that. >> your friend and business partner ron howard is the executive producer. you have done so much together. what is the secret of that relationship? >> communicating through telepathy. well, we -- we always intersect on the same kind of value system and taste. so this is one of the things that we really wanted to do. and ron does find a way to make things very cinematic. he brought that to television. >> yeah. >> it's a ten part series and a prediction that people will want
