day becomes more dangerous for those trapped inside. iraqi security video shows what this battlefield has now become. dense, urban terrain. close quarter combat waged from rooftops as troops inch forward they're capturing more than ground. they showed us what looked like a sales lot for isis car bombs. armor plated tractors, suvs, reinforced with steel only in the front to protect suicide bombers from being shot dead before reaching their targets. they're the most dreaded isis weapon on the battlefield. and just one danger facing a u.n. estimated 200,000 residents effectively held prisoner inside the old city. leveling whole neighborhoods with u.s. air strikes and artillery isn't an option. at a frontline command center

staff general jaafar al-battat and his men observe a drone camera pinpointing a suspected isis position. they're hiding among the residents and preventing them from fleeing, he said. the civilian population is the biggest obstacle slowing down our forces. the iraqi military has urged residents to leave but militants have booby-trapped homes with bombs and snipers have opened fire on anybody daring to make a run for it. to isis, they're simply a massive human shields, far too valuable to give up easily. now normally what we see in mosul is once the neighborhoods are liberated the resident comes rushing out. we haven't seen that mass exodus at this point, there doesn't seem to be any escape. charlie? >> charlie d'agata in northern iraq, thanks. british police have released a photo of the manchester bomber. they're trying to recreate his movements before last week's attack. the surveillance camera image showed salman abedi wheeling a blue suitcase and police are trying to locate the bag.

"the washington post" reports the president is impatient during the classified oval office meetings. >> the paper says he demands previewty from intelligence officials. mr. trump also likes to focus on maps, charts, and pictures as well as what the cia director calls killer graphics. the president interrupts with questions but also with, quote, random asides. >> here's a look at some of the morning's other headlines. the boston globe says robert mueller emphasized integrity in his graduation speech at a

massachusetts high school. >> if you are not honest, your reputation will suffer and once lost, a good reputation can never, ever be regained. as the saying goes, if you have integrity, nothing else matters, and if you do not integrity, nothing else matters. >> the justice department has appointed mueller as a special counsel. he will oversee the investigation into russian interference in the election and possible collusion with the trump campaign. the former fbi director did not mention the president or the investigation. mueller's granddaughter was one of the graduates. the "wall street journal" reports more homeowners are refinancing their mortgages and pocketing the cash. freddie mac says nearly half of borrowers who refinance their homes between january and march chose the cashout option. that is the highest level since the financial crisis. some experts say the refinancing boom represents a healthy confidence in the economy as unemployment drops. a "los angeles times" says the it was a deadly weekend

"newsweek" says a tiger killed a zoo keeper in central england. the animal attacked a woman in an enclosure. officials called it a freak accident. a visitor says they heard a scream and people shouted, run. some people hid in a zookeeper's room until they got the all clear. long-time skoo director jack hannah calls the attack human failure. >> when these kinds of things happen the protocol has either been broken or someone made a mistake. it's not the animal's mistake at all. i cannot blame anything that happens in the zoological department on an animal, basically. they are who they are. i must say, this is human failure at a park when this happens. >> the tiger has not been put down. officials say the animal did not

escape and never put visitors in danger. today, for the first time ever, the pentagon will try to shoot down an intercontinental range missile. the move is partly a response to north korea, which has test launched three missiles in the past three weeks. its official news agency said this morning that dictator kim jong un threatened to send a bigger gift package to the u.s. north korea is not the only new concern for our military. russia recently opened a military base in the arctic. this puts attention on the pentagon's northern most base located in greenland. it was originally built as a buffer during the cold war. jeff glor recently returned from a special tour of that base. >> reporter: thule air base is not easy to reach or maintain. but the u.s. did just complete a significant upgrade for space and missile defense there. one of several early warning systems being improved worldwide. with developments in north korea and russia coming daily, thule

is not just on top of the world, it's on top of many american military minds. on one of the most isolated pieces of land on erarth, a bas with no roads leading in, an island covered more than 80% ice, the air force needs to stay constantly connected to the sky. >> 900 miles from the north pole and only five hours flying time by jet bomber away from russia's industrial heart is the american airfield at thule. >> reporter: at the height of the cold war, thule air base was a vital part of u.s. strategy and symbolism. today, as new chills settle in. >> as you can see right now, we're kind of socked in. >> reporter: we were invited on base by colonel christopher ebegan who took charge of thule, part of air force space command just last year. >> we have a unique access this far north that the department of defense does not have anywhere else. >> reporter: in training sessions, airmen learn to surveil the sky, always on alert for the worst case scenario, a missile fired from asia.

heat signals from launches are typically first picked up by satellites in space. but radar on the ground remains essential to track after that. and no u.s. base sits farther north than thule. it is the halfway point between washington and moscow, the location of the 12th space warning squadron. thule's $250 million radar just got a $40 million software upgrade. one of six early warning systems like this around the world being improved. more than 3500 antennas here can see 3,000 miles into space. why is this upgrade so significant? >> because our missile technology has changed, they become more accurate, and with the proliferation we're seeing across the globe, there's more interest in being able to actually take some sort of defensive measures against them. with the evolution of time, we've gone away from aircraft to radar systems that do missile warning and missile defense missions. the mission may have changed by the access, the location,

remains the same. >> reporter: thule is now home to only about 200 military personnel. they come for a year at a time. the climate and conditions are considered too harsh beyond that. >> i got here last june. >> reporter: michael is the base chaplain. >> it's an amazing mission. who else gets to say you went to the top of the world? that said, it's an adjustment for a lot of us. oh, yeah. you don't hear birds right now, for example. there's no trees. >> reporter: never mind not saying daylight for four months. >> i tell you what, that is -- when people said that not seeing the sun for 100 days was hard, as a chaplain i was thinking, we can get through anything. but it was hard. >> reporter: those willing to make this trip often cite the brutal beauty of greenland. they are also keenly aware of the mission. >> reporter: when you see how much more attention folks are paying to the arctic circle now, especially from a military perspective, it's to put you on edge. >> the increased interest in the political side of the house is

interesting, but we've invested for the last 60 years in the capabilities here. when our most important resources are people and they're that trained and they want to be here, it makes you rest comfortably at night. >> reporter: the sun won't set again in thule until august. it won't rise from november until february. it may seem hard toelve, but the vast majority who serve there volunteer, sometimes for multiple tours. >> a lot of people believe that's going to be a venue for real conflict in the future. >> the white house is reviewing missile defense capabilities now, and so i think there's some who would not be surprised to see more focus on thule at some point in the future. >> lot of action up there in the arctic. >> they normally don't let people in. was it your charm that got you in? >> yeah, right. >> she's absolutely right, jeff. it was charm. >> it's only one american passenger plane we aper week an it's mostly a cargo plane, only about 30 people on board. there's not many people going in and out of there. >> he was dropped down in a

. an important weapon for fighting aggressive cancers now has new promise for many patients, immunotherapy. it's a treatment that triggers a body's own defense system to fight cancerous cell mutations. the mda just expanded the approved uses for immunotherapy. former president jimmy carter took the drug. a few months later he reported that he was cancer-free. our dr. david agus is head of the west side cancer center in los angeles. david, good morning. >> good morning, gayle. >> hi. i remember people being very excited and very encouraged by jimmy carter's progress. tell us exactly how it works. first tell me how to pronounce it, immunotherapy. >> immunotherapy. get a load of this, the drug we're talking about is called pembrolizamad. every cancer cell is born with a don't eat me signal on its surface. what these drugs do is they block that don't eat me signal

to allow the immune system to be activated and attack the cancer. it's a whole new weapon in our arsenal that's really had tremendous advances. >> david, it sounds like immunotherapy challenges the idea that cancer should be treated by body part and instead says cancer should be treated by the type of cancer, is that right? >> yeah, it's so amazing. last week for the first time ever, the fda approved a drug not by body part, breast, lung, colon, but by what was the molecular defect. in this case they had a particular gene that allowed dna to repair itself it was turned off or faulty. there were a lot of dna errors. the immune system recognized them and attacked it so this really was a new advance. in the 1800s in germany, we started to categorize cancer by body part and finally we're changing. >> there was a front page story in "the washington post" over the weekend about a 23-year-old woman who had colon cancer, a very bad case of colon cancer. somehow luckily she got in touch

with a program underway at johns hopkins and he said get over here right away. it was exactly that result. they found out it had not to do -- it had to do with a particular tumor, not the location in the body. are we going to see this kind of thing, as i just told you and what you just talked about jimmy cartpr across all cancers? >> yeah, it's about 4% to 5% of all cancers. this particular woman actually inherited a dna defect from her mother where it had the dna repair genes turned off, so she was very lucky in that the group at hopkins had done remarkable work to identify this as a possible treatment with immunotherapy. >> how do you know if it's a good option for a cancer patient? >> every cancer patient should go to the doctor and say what are the options and ask is immunotherapy an option. more and more it's becoming an option for lung cancers, for colon cancer, endometrial cancers, melanoma, kidney cancers. we're learning how to use it

better. >> david, you say it's not a cure, though. why is that? >> well, it turns off the -- i mean the immune system turns off the cancer and over time in almost all cases the cancer comes back. and so it buys one to two to three years. it does have side effects, but it certainly buys time in patients who many times have no other hope. >> dr. david agus, thanks as always. senator al franken brings a distinctive style to capitol hill and we are lucky to have him in our toyota green room this very morning. just ahead, how real-life politics compares to making jokes about politicians. plus, a california baker fights the low carb diet trend. i like this california baker. why he says you get a healthier loaf by treating the wheat like coffee. you're watching "cbs this morning." ing."

very flavorful, really digestible, highly nutritious loaf of bread in the end. >> reporter: you may be thinking robertson is just another san francisco foodie pushing another artisanal fad but he's just one of a group of bakers around the country changing the way they make bread and science is on their side. >> you'll recognize the sort of all purpose flour, your normal sort of pure white flour. >> reporter: david killilea is a scientist at children's hospital oakland research institute. so in the white flour that we're accustomed to. >> there's not much there. it's mostly sugar. >> reporter: all purpose white flour was developed during st l industrialization to extend shelf life but to make it last months or even years, two main components of the wheat must be discarded, the bran and the germ, and that means losing most of the vitamins, minerals, and fiber. >> looking at the iron, copper, zinc, calcium, it is a really

big difference when you go from all purpose to the whole grain, which has much more, sometimes double for zinc, four times the amount of zinc, six to eight times the amount of manganese and all those minerals are essential for health. >> reporter: the author of the best selling book told "cbs this morning" that replacing white flour products with whole grains is simply replacing something harmful with something slightly less harmful, and it doesn't mean that whole grains are good for you. bread has had a pretty bad reputation for a while. >> yeah. right now, it's definitely looked upon suspiciously, but at least in my opinion, a lot of that has to do with the way that the bread is made. if we could get people eating whole grains, we would do a lot to address the actual missing nutrients in our population. >> reporter: but getting more whole grains into the american diet means changing the way flour is milled, distributed,

and stored. chad robertson is working on that, encouraging the development of more local small batch flour mills. >> coffee is a really good example that i always go back to. 20 years ago, would you think that everybody would be grinding coffee fresh in their house. all over the country, people know what fresh ground coffee tastes like and that was a relatively quick transition. >> reporter: with the opening of his newest san francisco restaurant, robertson hopes to be part of a similar transition to a day when it's not necessary to go to a high-end bakery to get bread this good and this good for you. >> all you have to do is taste it and it's pretty easy after that. >> reporter: for "cbs this morning," john blackstone, san francisco. >> let them eat bread. >> i could tell by the way he cut it, the way it was crunchy and then soft. >> we know that sound. we love that sound. canada's prime minister wants pope francis to apologize, ahead, what they were talking about at the vatican. your local news is coming up next.

>> you know what i took from this book is how much you really like this job, how hard you work at it. i was very, very touched by that, senator, how much -- what this job really means to you. but there's also times when you struggle because being funny is in your dna and your staff sometimes has to say, okay, al, let's keep it here in the room. >> yeah. the question -- i wrote this book to answer a question i get asked a lot, which is, is being a united states senator as much fun as working on "saturday night live," and the answer is, no. why would it be? >> it's your best job. >> but it's the best job i've ever had because you get to do things for people, whether -- my first bill, two weeks in, i got service dogs for vets from iraq and afghanistan with ptsd. i did that with johnny isakson, a pretty conservative republican from georgia. getting mental health for kids in the new reform of no child

left behind. those things mean stuff. >> but you also say the gop and democrats can work together. there's one of your colleagues that said there's an 80% rule. that 80% -- >> mike enze. >> but you said really it's 64% that we can work together. >> he says that in any given piece of legislation, democrats and republicans agree on 80%. >> and you say it's 64%? >> i say 80% of the time we agree on 80%. so, that's 64%. it's a math joke. >> which comes out of the book and gayle was referring to it before you got here. it is that you and jeff sessions are friends. your wife is friends with jeff sessions' wife. >> tell us more about that. >> it's hard not to like a guy whose wife knit a baby blanket for your first kid. >> is that all it takes? just a baby blanket? >> that's all it takes. ted cruz, knit me a baby blanket for my next one. but that doesn't mean i can't be tough on him.

>> no, i like -- >> you played that. >> i like ted cruz more than most of my other colleagues like ted cruz, and i hate ted cruz. that's one of the chapters. >> that chapter is about sort of -- ted is sort of toxic and this is a workplace with 100 people in it. it's like a small town. and a lot of the stuff i've done, i've done with my republican friends and you may not agree with them all the time, but i wrote a country song with orin hatch, for goodness sake, and then we went on to try to write something about getting principals in schools. >> it is said that every senator gets up in the morning and sees a future president. when you go and start to shave and look in the mirror, you see a future president? >> no. no. >> would you like to be a future president? >> no. i see a future five-term senator. >> five terms? >> who is the future president? who do the democrats have? >> isn't that a fun game to

play? >> on national television. >> and i think many of my colleagues may run, and my goodness, it wouldn't help me very much to single one out, would it? >> no favoritism there. >> no, because i want to get things done. because that's why i like the job. >> senator franken wanted to send a note to a constituent that turned 110 and said, dear ruth, you have a bright future ahead of you. >> i talk about the dehumorizer and a woman in minnesota was turning 110 and i went -- what's what i wrote. dear marge or ruth, you have a bright future ahead of you. my -- >> it's funny but very, very -- >> as hard as you try not to be funny, you're still a complete delight, senator. >> oh. >> "al franken giant of the senate" best title ever is on sale. ,,,, ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

it's been nearly 100 years since this country's first neon sign was imported from france. mark strassman went to austin to find out how it's making america brighter again. it doesn't advertise a brand. it's closer to art. >> reporter: what evan boils

calls doodling in light has lit up the austin skyline. >> what i'm known for is south congress. this is my turf. this is saying welcome. >> reporter: the 58-year-old designed this fish-riding cowboy for yeddi, the popular cooler company. >> it was the first one i put up on the trip. >> reporter: on south congress avenue here, his canvas of neon runs for blocks. >> that was the first outdoor commercial sign i ever built. when i finished it and we had it on the wall and lit it up, i jumped up and down. i was amazed. i couldn't believe i'd done it. it was pulling off a magic trick i didn't know how to do. >> reporter: since then, his hometown skyline has taken on a growing glow. so look, this is art. it's art that has a job to do. >> its procedure job is to form an impression in your head that will make you go into the store.

if i don't get people in, then i have failed. ♪ >> reporter: as america folks art, neon found its hey day in the '30s, '40s, and '50s, a landscape of colorful lights stretched across the country. but when cheaper plastic and l.e.d. signs came along, neon fizzled until recently. >> people have always loved the american roadside and the attraction of that glowing, neon sign in the distance. >> reporter: neon historian eric linxsweiler wrote about its glory days. >> neon is definitely making a comeback. every neon artist and neon vendor i know in southern california is working more now than they have in the past few decades. >> reporter: throughout the u.s., new and newly restored neon signs now light up businesses, stadiums, and hotels. along with art galleries and museums. >> i think that neon is definitely representing a retro americana that people are

embracing. it's also a technology that people haven't seen for a while. they're falling in love with it yet again. >> reporter: the technology has barely changed in over a century. >> i find it a great irony that in this day and age i am essentially building something from the age of buggies. for me, i am bringing you the past. i am tying you to something you don't even think about. >> reporter: boyles designs the blueprint, but bending neon tubes is a special skill. kirk and rory tunningly own big dog neon in lockhart, texas. how long did it take you to figure it out? >> if weeks i was producing tubes that functioned. to make good-looking tubes probably took a year and a half. >> reporter: it's a field that comes from experience. the glass tube between the fingers, the slow and steady breath control that keeps the tube from collapsing in on itself as it's heated up to

1,200 degrees and then bent. the red -- >> yes -- >> reporter: is pure neon? >> pure neon glass, yep. >> reporter: once the glass takes shape, gas is pumped into. most signs are actually filled with argon gas which is more versatile. the iconic, vivid, red color is all neon. to you, what is the romance of neon? >> to me it's -- it's that line drawing with light and color and that there's no better way to do that yet. i just don't think they're going to invent it in our lifetime. >> reporter: boyles has brought the city a new glow with his take on the blurry line between art and commerce. for "cbs this morning," mark strassman, austin, texas. >> i love me some neon. we'll be right back. some neon. we'll be right back. ,,,,,,,,,,,,
