it looks like it's -- looks like it's going to be fun. >> reporter: across southern texas, grocery store shelves are bare. people are rushing to stock up on last-minute supplies. >> got to have your spam and cans of chili, tuna. >> reporter: sandbags are being piled up and businesses are already boarded up. hospitals worried about power outages have begun transporting critically ill babies from the texas coastline and moving them inland. many in corpus christi are getting out, take the city up on an offer to leave town for free. hundreds boarded school buses headed for an evacuation center in san antonio. >> bye-bye. >> reporter: along the coast, thousands of people under mandatory evacuations but not here in corpus christi. >> i think people are smart enough to make their decisions, and they don't need the government telling them what to do. >> reporter: mayor joe mccomb has decided not the order people out. why not a mandatory evacuation for the low-lying areas? >> you don't have any

enforcement authority and we felt like a lot of people would rather stay here in their homes. >> reporter: the mayor knows the risks of severe weather. two years ago his daughter-in-law and two grandchildren died in a flash flood in wimberley, texas. he says it's up to the people here to make their own decision. are you staying or are you leaving? >> my family, there were no warnings on the flash flood. i don't want that experience to happen to anybody else. >> reporter: the mayor says it's not out of the question he could issue a mandatory evacuation order today. anyone living here who wants to get out of town, you still have time. to the local city bus stop, they'll take you to that receiving center and put you on a school bus to san antonio. you can do that until 12:00 noon. around that time, everything in this city is expected to shut down. nasa's view from the international space station shows how big harvey is. forecasters say houston, america's fourth largest city, could get at least 20 inches of rain. it is the home of a multibillion dollar oil and gas industry.

manuel bojorquez is in port lavaca, texas weather the potential risk to those facilities. manuel, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. as we start to feel the first effects of hurricane harvey, the rain, wind and rising tide, comparisons to 2008's ike has already begun. but scientists say if hurricane harvey continues on its current path, it could be far more destructive. with harvey's arrival now immine imminent, people are moving inland, away from the low-lying coastal areas that were nearly obliterated by hurricane ike in 2008. >> walls blown out. boats turned upside down. some car rs floating. >> reporter: hurricane ike holds the distinction between the costliest weather event in texas history. 103 people killed in the u.s. while about $30 billion was spent to repair the damage. 2 galveston seawall is 17 feet high. a storm surge over that could travel from the gulf of mexico

into galveston bay and off the houston shipping channel, crippling one of the nation's busiest ports. it's also home to several major refineries. >> hopefully a wake-up call. e it could become a horror movie. >> reporter: jim blackburn is an environmental engineer at rice university saying the current infrastructure won't hold up if the city takes a hit. >> if we reach those levels we could see the worst environmental disaster in united states history and probably shut down and cause a major gap in gasoline and jet fuel and other types of critical products availability. >> reporter: for some texans that's reason enough to leave town. >> we don't know what's going to happen. we don't know if we're coming bab to a home or what damage we're coming home to. it's sad. it's scary. >> reporter: as hurricane harvey remains on course to hit the region's cluster of oil refineries, which produce more than 5 million barrels of oil per day, nationwide the average price of gas has already surged to the highest level since april.

>> and with the effects of the storm down there, move 120 miles up the coast where demarco morgan is in galveston, one of the many areas under a storm surge warning. good morning, demarco. >> reporter: good morning. already starting to feel harvey's outer bands now as we speak. the wind is blowing and the rain is coming down. the only thing keeping the gulf of mexico out of the city of galveston, this 17 foot high sea wall built about 100 years ago and has protected this city for quite some time now. the only thing to top it was hurricane ike. that happened back in 2008. when it comes to the west end of galveston, it is not protected by a seawall so, authorities there are telling everyone to take precautionary measures. they are also saying a voluntary evacuation is in place. when you talk about low-lying areas, that's downtown gavp ston. they're telling people in this

area, in and around this area to sort of prepare for five to seven days with food, water, and supplies. started off with just three to five days. now they have moved it from five to seven. you always want to play it safe and make sure that you take those warnings into measure. >> very good advice. meteorologist megan glaros of our chicago station, wbbm here with the forecast for harvey as it approaches landfall. megan, it has to be something significant if you are here in person. >> yeah, that's right. with harvey, we are looking at my jor storm system. but the problem with this is, it's sitting over what we almost call premium fuel. sea surface temperatures are very high with this. while it's already a category 2, bordering on a category 3. expect it to continue intensification, and then the issue will be, once it makes landfall, it's just going to sit and meander over the texas coastline here. and look at the intensity as it continues to be fed by gulf

moisture and heat and then it just sits. so in addition to the storm surge, in addition to the issue with intense hurricane force winds, we now add to this days upon days of rain. so we're looking at rainfall totals which could be in excess of 3 feet in areas. including anywhere from corpus christi past houston, near the louisiana border, isolated totals could top 36 inches. >> thank you, megan. stay with cbs news for continuing coverage as hurricane harvey makes landfall. our streaming network, cbsn, has updates 24 hours a day, available on the app and at cbsnews.com. president trump is escalating his feud with the leaders of his own party. his attacks on top republicans are creating a rift ahead of key legislative deadlines in september. the prolonged standoff could trig err government shutdown. margaret brennan is at the white house with the political discord. good morning. >> reporter: good morning.

just 12 working days in september to raise the debt ceiling and avoid the kind of costly default that could trigger a financial crisis. this morning on twitter the president called on congress to change the voting rules to sideline democrats. white house spokeswoman sarah huckabee sanders downplayed the escalating tensions between president trump and his lawmakers. >> there will be some policy differences but a lot of shared goals and that's what we're focused on. >> reporter: on twitter, the president laid bare his problem with senate majority leader mitch mcconnell writing, "after hearing repeal and replace for seven years he failed to fix obamacare." mcconnell speaking in kentucky did not address the president's criticisms but said he can't guarantee outcomes, then indicated mr. trump's anti-free trade position is misguided. >> the assumption that every free trade agreement is a loser for america is largely untrue. >> reporter: mcconnell is the latest senate republican finding himself at odds with president

trump, who will need the support of nearly every available republican if he wants to advance his legislative agenda. but patience from mr. trump's methods may be wearing thin. tennessee senator bob corker recently said mr. trump hasn't demonstrated the stability nor competence to be successful adding, he doesn't think the president "understands the character of this nation." the president called corker's statement strange and tweeted this morning that the senator is, quote, constantly asking me whether or not he should run again, claiming his tennessee constituents were unhappy. >> reporter: senator lindsey graham believes the president's attacks are deliberate. >> the congress is very unpopular particularly with the republican base. there's nothing unhinged about it. it's a political strategy that i'm not sure is smart but it's a very thought-out strategy. >> reporter: in an interview with "the financial times" the president's own economic adviser gary cohn said he personally felt a lot of pressure to quit

working for president trump after his delayed condemnation of hate groups in charlottesville. gayle, he said the administration must do better. >> all right. interesting comments from gary cohn. thank you very much, margaret. denver police are investigating a series of disturbing videos involving high school cheer leaders. it shows children screaming in agony as they are forced into the splits. the video was recorded earlier in the summer but just surfaced this week. five denver school officials have been placed on leave. dana jacobson has reaction of one of the girls in these screaming videos. good morning. >> good morning, gayle. kristen wakefield is the mother of one of the girls in the video. she says her daughter quit the team because she was afraid to be in the same room as her coach. that coach dismissed from a similar position at another colorado high school last year for doing the same thing. cell phone video shows

13-year-old ally wakefield pleading, please stop, nine times, as she's forced into splits by her cheer leading coffee. >> i was thinking it was normal. i didn't think much of it. >> reporter: but the high school freshman suffered from torn muscle tissue and a pulled e hamstring and is receiving physical therapy. >> the doctor said 100% the injury sustained was directly caused by the coach's knee on the back of her thigh forcing it to the floor. she said it could possibly fracture the pelvic system and reproductive organs as well. >> i'm trying! >> reporter: six other videos show her teammates yelling in agony during similar stretches. the coach is ozell williams, a well-known tumbling instructor, often seen performing at broncos games. in an interview williams said the videos are taken out of context. "i would love to tell my story but i can't say anything else at this time." [ screaming ]

williams is one of five denver public school officials placed on leave. the superintendent said in a statement, he took action as soon as he heard. "as the father of two high school-aged daughters, the images and actins depicted of extremely distressing and absolutely contrary to our core values." as for ally, she's still trying to heal. >> the world is a scary place, and people you think you can trust, you can't always. you just have to trust your gut feeling. >> reporter: we could not reach coach williams for comment. the american association of cheerleading coaches and administrators says it has viewed the videos and does not condone the coach's actions and rejects them to the fullest extent. >> so tough to watch. >> disturbing. i love how the -- not love, the fact the coach says the video's taken out of context. i can't imagine any context that would make that okay. >> kind of torture. something a little more pleasant to watch here.

let's meet the 52-year-old massachusetts woman who became the winner of the largest powerball jackpot ever won with a single ticket in history. mavis wanczyk claimed the prize yesterday and jer reika duncan is at the store in chick pea where wanczyk made the purchase that changed her life. good morning. >> reporter: yes, good morning. we're hearing that police have been keeping a watchful eye over wanczyk's home not far from here but it all started here at this convenience store where wanczyk purchased three tickets. two were quick picks and one, the winning ticket, was a combination of birthdays and one very lucky number. >> i need some rest. i'm overwhelmed. >> reporter: after a whirlwind day, mavis wanczyk returned home $758.7 million richer. >> i'm still e luke, this isn't true. this can't be, and then now it's like -- ah -- i -- i am a winner. >> reporter: it was a friend who told her she had the winning powerball ticket.

>> i go, hey, i have -- i have that -- i have that. he goes, let me see that ticket. he goes, you just won. >> first number up is 7. >> reporter: the mother of two said she picked random birthdays. the powerball 4 is the number her family typically plays on friday night keno games. >> my pipe dream is going to come true. i wanted to retire in 12 and it came early. >> reporter: lottery officials wrongly said the winning ticket was sold on watertown, the other side of the state. >> this was the result of a human error. >> reporter: after clearing things up they introduced wanczyk to a roomful of reporters. [ applause ] rather than receive her winnings in 30 annual payments, the 53-year-old has chosen a single lump sum of $480 million. after taxes she's taking home $336 million. >> a lot of people will be coming at her in order to try to recommend all sorts of different things that she can do with her money. >> reporter: wanczyk has already

quit her hospital job after 32 years and will pay off car she bought just last year. her plans beyond that are unclear. >> i'm going to go hide in my bed. [ laughter ] >> reporter: even with $336 million, get this, it is not enough to put wanczyk on forbes' top richest americans and not enough to put her in the top 50 wealthiest people in massachusetts. gayle? >> we all love us some mavis in the studio. you know who's happy for mavis? debra goldberg. she was by her side the whole time. a great story. >> love it. >> love her. and taylor swift hoping her new song "look what you made me do," you'll be singing it all day, will ride a marketing wave to the charts ahead. how the pop star uses social media to excite fans and propel her hit. fist, it is 7:19. time to check your local weather.

hudson river. construction took four years and cost nearly $4 billion. we climbed to the top of the new bridge with current new york governor andrew cuomo to find out what it took to get construction underway. it's one of the largest construction projects in the country. i think we're crossing here. and a rare success story in the saga of american infrastructure. what's it like seeing it this up close? >> almost unbelievable. we've been planning it, talking about it, but to now actually see the reality of it and to see it in comparison to the old bridge is really striking. >> reporter: a 3.1 mile cable bridge named the governor mario m. cuomo bridge by his son. current governor andrew cuomo. the cost, $3.9 million. this was decades in the making. hundreds of meetings. fights about it.

not an easy process. >> no. they talked about changing the bridge for literally 20 years. everybody says the bridge is dangerous. everybody says it has to be replaced, but nothing happens. >> reporter: you think there's political risk in actually building this bridge? >> oh, sure there is. sure there it. it's one of the reasons the politicians stay away from it. we have a lot of big infrastructure projects we've tried in the past that haven't worked out and can be a career ender. so -- >> reporter: did that go through your mind? >> oh, only about seven times a week. >> the most spectacular project of the throughway is the three-mile bridge. >> reporter: the existing bridge, the tappan zee, was long ago deemed functionally obsolete. e it's 12 years past its expiration date. the cuomo bridge is a result of a public/private partnership designed and built by a private company and overseen by project director jamie barbous. how long can a bridge like this last?

>> the requirement is 100 years of service life. construction should last 100 years. >> reporter: it's built to last? >> yes it is. longer than us, i think. >> reporter: building it has taken 7,000 workers more than 9 million hours, 220 million pounds of american steel, and enough concrete to stretch from here to key west. much of it was made on land, floated down the hudson river, and maneuvered into place by a supercrane dubbed eye lift new york. could you have built this bridge without the crane? >> no. if you look behind me the beams are put together, put on a barge and lifted in place to span from pier to pier. >> reporter: the supercrane was shipped from california and paid a $70,000 toll to pass through the panama canal. wow! pretty spectacular. but worth it. >> it is about perspective. this gives you perspective. >> reporter: i'm taking in an

incredible view to be up here without losing my lunch. if i look down one more time -- >> oh, come on. >> reporter: there aren't walls on the side. just pieces of rope. the first span of the bridge is opening on time and on budget. once complete, the bridge is expected to carry more than 140,000 vehicles every day. the toll on this bridge, only like $5. can you promise the people of new york you won't raise toll prices? >> we've promised that the tolls won't be raised through 2020, and then we're going to have to see what the finances for the state are in 2020. >> reporter: you're not worried when people are cursing traffic on this bridge, like, it's the cuomo bridge! >> ah, i don't think they'll curse the traffic on this bridge. the traffic will be less on this bridge than the old bridge. >> reporter: it will take another year to dismantle the old bridge and complete the cuomo, which the governor hopes will serve as a symbol for new

york ambition and a model for big building in america. >> reporter: if the tappan zee bridge was the poster child for crumbling infrastructure in america, the cuomo bridge will be the poster child for what? >> for the optimism and the capacity and the competence that you doubt. what made america is what we built. the railroads, the tunnels, the bridges, the skyscrapers. we can't lose that. if we lose that, we lose who we are. that supercrane we showed you that helped build the new bridge is also going to take down the old bridge, because they have to take it down piece by piece for environmental concerns and recycle them, and that supercrane can lift 12 statues of liberty at onc. the lebron james crane. >> beautiful piece, norah. beautiful shot. >> really was. >> i can't imagine what it must be like for the governor to have the bridge named after his dad. >> as we talk about

infrastructure, one of these few bipartisan things that president trump could potentially do, o co let's rebuild america. that thought people could, could you do it? this is an example of this public/private partnership and it works. they did it in four years. it's a success story. did it if four years. >> you look at the golden gate and think could we do that today? this is proof it's doable. >> highlight good stories as well here. >> i like that, "what's working?" after much anticipation, taylor swift, have you heard, released her new single overnight. ahead, a look how the pop sensation uses social media to build her brand and, oh, yes, sell her music, too. it's selling big time. you're watching cbs "this morning." thank you for that. we'll be right back. ♪ what you made me do, what you made me do ♪

good morning to our viewers in the west. thank goodness it's friday, august 25th, 2017. welcome back to cbs this morning. new information on hurricane harvey taking aim at the texas gulf coast plus amazon plans big changes when it takes over whole foods next week. amazon's price cutting strategy. but first here's today's eye opener at 8:00. >> we're starting to feel tropical storm force winds. it's a ghost town. businesses boarded up. a lot of people left town. we feel the reverse effects of hurricane harvey. comparisons to 2008's hurricane ike have already begun. >> the only thing that people in the gulf of mexico out of the city of galveston here is a 17 foot high sea wall.

>> the issue will be once it makes land fall it's just going to sit and meander over the texas coastline. >> president trump's attacks on top republicans are creating a rift ahead of key legislative deadlines in september. >> congress will have just 12 working days to raise the debt ceiling. >> it all started here at this convenience store where she purchased three tickets. a winning ticket was a combination of birthdays and one very lucky number. >> hot in detroit after this all out brawl. the first of three bench clearing fights. >> who is responsible for that though? >> the umpire. the umpire should have taken control. >> or could it be grown men have to take responsibility for their actions? how about that. >> let's not get too crazy. >> responsible grown men. >> let's not try to rewrite history now. >> good morning to you i'm gayle

king. charlie is off today. hurricane harvey is threatening texas with one of its worst disasters ever. satellite images show how big this storm is. take a look. it covers much of the gulf coast. >> harvey strengthened to a category 2 storm overnight. it's set to make land fall late tonight or early saturday. forecasters call it a life threatening storm that could bring up to three feet of rain. bring up to about three feet of rain. more than 100 miles per hour winds and 15 foot storm surges. hurricane warnings stretch along the texas gulf coast. david is in corpus christie right in the danger zone. good morning. >> good morning, it's the wind that we're dealing with right now. tropical storm force winds. the rain is moving on shore and these are the northern most rain bands of harvey already being felt here. in harvey makes land fall as a category 3 it's going to be the first major hurricane in the u.s. since 2005. there's no major evacuation orders issued here. the mayor made that decision because he said it's up to the

locals to decide whether it's right for them to get out. the mayor could change his mind but as of right now no evacuation order has been given. as for the local hospital here that treats pediatric patients they have decided it's a good idea to get some of the most critically ill babies out so they have transported babies from the intensive care unit to a hospital near dallas just as a precaution. scientists estimate the rainfall from hurricane harvey could be life threatening. in fact, the local mayor says if the rainfall and flooding ends up disabling the water treatment plant in town they have determined they have about 3 days of good drinking water before they're in trouble and have something to worry about and speaking of water, get this, let it sink in for a minute, this is unbelievable. scientists estimate, at least one estimate is the state of texas could see 11 trillion gallons of waterfall on it in the next 72 hours. >> i can't wrap my head around that big of a number. thank you. stay safe town there.

megan of our chicago station wbbm is here with the latest forecast. good morning. >> we have the latest on hurricane harvey just came in moments ago. it is now 110 miles per hour winds. which is one mile per hour shy of category 3 or major hurricane status. it's splitting hairs. it's a strengthening storm and it's going to make land fall here within the next 24 hours and it will sit and meander over texas not moving for days. it's going to feed that moisture in from the gulf of mexico. intense rainfall on top of the hurricane force winds and of course storm surge will be a factor as well but in terms of the rains we could see we're talking 20 plus inches here and could see some totals upwards of three feet. >> megan thanks, kr bs news will follow hurricane harvey as it comes ashore. our streaming network cbsn will have updates 24 hours a day and you can watch on our cbs news app or cbs news.com. >> the you mited nations is

calling for a humanitarian pause to the fighting with isis in syria so civilians can evacuate. u.s. backed forces began a defense against them in june. 20,000 people are trapped and at risk. isis released a new propaganda video that claims to show a 10-year-old american boy. u.s. officials now tell cbs news that clues in the video seem to indicate that this little boy is an american but the details of how he ended up with isis are still not clear. the boy makes threats that appear to be scripted. >> our on going series called issues that matter explores the pressing challenges our country faces and today we're taking a closer look at our nation's fight against isis. the state department says isis lost 78% of its territory in iraq and 58% in syria since it's peak in 2014. nearly one third of the losses happened in the past six months. he is the special presidential

envoy for the global coalition to counter isis. he served under three administrations and just returned from a 12 day trip to the middle east. good to have you here. >> thank you for having me. >> i know you were just in iraq. tell us what you learned. >> i was in iraq and syria and had the honor traveling into jordan and also iraq. i was just north of rocca. about 7 months ago isis was sitting in a major city. to plan huge attacks against the united states and our partners. that was happening only six or seven months ago. right now they're fighting for their life block by block. 60% of the city has bb cleared. it's extremely, extremely difficult and potential humanitarian causalities. we talked to a number of the idps that have come out of -- displaced people. people that fled the fighting. all of these people fleeing isis

are fleeing into the force we're working with and we're now working with the united nations to try to take care of them. about 20,000 people remain left. what they tell us is the number one thing we have to do is to feed isis. isis is using civilians as human shields. they're using a children's hospital as their primary base of operations. so the number one thing we have to do is defeat them and defeat them as soon as we can and it's going well. >> so given the gains over the last six months while president trump has been in office, how has the strategy changed since president obama? >> he said look charged the entire national security team focus like a laser on destroying isis. let's look at what is working and let's try to reinforce those efforts and look at things that haven't worked and try to improve them. one thing he did was delegate authorities down to the lower level in the field. what that means in practice is as our military experts see an opportunity they can seize it. so the reason we're 60% through

there now is we saw an opportunity four or five months ago i was just in this town about a week ago. it's over a body of water but major military to do that. operation launched within a week and we're able to catch isis piano surprise which really help set the conditions for getting in. so you delegate authorities and shorten the decision making cycle and it makes a difference in the field. we're also making sure that our coalition is participating in this effort. so i saw it with my own eyes just north of mosul. it's important for viewers to understand what the braf americans are doing in the field. i was in a town where a navy s.e.a.l. gave his life about a year ago fighting isis. today about 80% of the population is returned. restoring of the community and we're helping to try to make sure that land mines are clear, water can get back and

electricity is back and i saw it with my own eyes as these families come back to these towns that only six or seven months ago were controlled by isis. >> what you're saying sounlds very encouraging and then we see that video that claiming an american boy little boy and describing him as an isis club. such a cute name for such an ugly philosophy. do you believe it? what do you make of it? >> the leader of isis is a guy that claims to be the catalyst of this territory in iraq and syria. >> there's reports he had been killed. >> he's losing his territory. we haven't heard from him since december and they're putting out videos of children. i obviously can't confirm this video or who this child is. they use children as human shields. they try to recruit children as suicide bombers. they have used children inside iraq to blow up children's soccer games attack ice cream parlors of families going to celebrate. that's what this organization is and that's why the sooner it can

be defeated the better. so we are moving as fast as we can and mindful of how difficult it is. >> the latest attack was from a village in spain so the global game of wachack-a-mole, how is that effected on the battlefield. >> they used to sit and plan and plot all of these attacks. that's where they planned brussels and that's where they planned paris. we have to shrink their territory. at the same time through a global coalition, we built a global coalition in 69 countries and working to share information as we collect data off the battlefield of who these people are we're putting them into a global data base. >> gives you information that you can figure out whether the cells are. >> the keys to stopping these attacks is information sharing so the overall effort will shift from the military phase in iraq and syria to law enforcement intelligence and sharing information. one of the newest members of our coalition is interpoll because we're building a global data

base. we have 19,000 names of known terrorists that joined isis or tried to join isis trying to move into iraq and syria. every law enforcement agency and border patrol officer can check a data base and stop these people on a routine traffic stop as they're trying to cross boarders. this is a long-term effort and fight and information sharing trying to close a set to make sure these people can't travel and we're just as focused on that. >> when you say long-term everybody wants to know how long is how long but when nora said you're just back from iraq, literally just back. you just got back last night. >> i did. i got back last night. even iraq i was in saudi arabia before iraq. interesting things going on. they have not had any diplomatic relations since 1990. i visited the iraq saudi border crossing, there's a lot going on between those two countries which will be very helpful in terms of the post isis phase

making sure these guys can never come back and that we have stability there. >> i am thinking you need to come back to the table. >> so much to talk about. >> thanks to you. >> coming up one of the last great salmon runs on the planet is threatened by what's under the alaskan wilderness. ahead how a push could effect the environment up in alaska and could effect the wildlife and our food supply. it's a glimpse at my show coming up.

classic amazon, because they've auv be often been willing to lose short term to win long term. less profitable in the short term. to the extetent they expand the scale more profit. >> whole foods doesn't have the scale those other grocery stores have. that's worth noting. right. >> reporter: not at all. really small in grocery. whole foods has about 2% market share. amazon, 1%. meanwhile, walmart is about 20%. so the gloves are off. they recognize they want to go at it hard. done it before. i wouldn't count them out but scared in the middle. not walmart or amazon. biggest brick and mortar retailer, online retailer, in the middle, kroger, a mom and pop grocery stores of which there are thousands, it's going to get really tough. >> melody, back to bill's point

a second ago. known at whole paycheck, a chichi store. what does amazon want? what's the new brand they want for whole foods now? >> reporter: what they want is obviously to extend the brand. to more customers. no question about it. they want to take advantage of whole foods private label business. the 365 brand that has over 3,000 products they can sell immediately online. they want to take advantage of distribution. 460 stores in some of the wealthiest zip codes in america. that has long-term implications for them. well beyond grocery. there are a lot of synergies here. an incredibly smart buy. >> and it's going to be an incredible difference to all parts of jeff basil's plan. taking over the world. thank you, melody. good to see you. amy suchumer is caught in a controversy over equal pay. what she says she should have been paid the same as chris rock

underrepresented at top colleges. black students are just 6% of freshman at elite colleges but 15% of college age americans. hispanic students are approximate 13% but they are 22% of college aged americans. usa today reports that patti jenkins the director of wonder woman is striking back at director james cameron. wonder woman is a hit movie of the summer. it's been praised for its feminist message but titanic director james cameron says this, she is an objectified icon and it's just male hollywood doing the same old thing. to me it's a step backwards. oh no he didn't. wonder woman director responded, though he is a great film maker he is not a woman. strong women are great. there's no right and wrong kind of powerful woman. >> thank you patti jenkins.

science of addiction and it's impact on the brain's pathways. fran smith writes this, addiction remolds neurocircuits at the expense of health, work or family or life itself. fran smith joins us at the table to discuss. hello, good to see you. >> when most people think of addicts they don't think they have brain issues but you're saying the brain plays a big role here, how? >> brain plays a huge role. addiction causes hundreds of changes in the structure of the brain and the chemistry of the brain, in the pathways that send nerve signals so that cells communicate with each other and it's very come mri kated but the essence of it is that it remaps the brain and causes the brain to focus on this one thing, one thing only that object of entire and blot out other things of interest. so i think of it like a zoom lenses on a camera.

>> when addiction was facing the black community and inner city community they were cast aside as junkies and addicts and now that it's more pronounced now we hear it's a disease. when did that change and how did that change? >> medical communities recognized it as a disease for a long time. law enforcement is starting to come around. i was just in west virginia which has been hit really hard and talked with the former police chief and he said we're not going to arrest our way out of this problem. what really changed it not only as the opioid epidemic opened up people's eyes to the problem but the technology in the 70s when

♪ a debate is raging in alaska these days over what is worth more, the gold in the ground or the gold in the water. a record 60 million salmon surge through that state's bristol bay last month. some 30 million were caught and will feed half of the world's demand but near the head waters a conad juanadian mining compan to dig the biggest mine in the world and it could be toxic to the fishery. it was stalled under president

obama but president trump's administration has given the controversial project new life. i wondered how many forms of salmon loving life might be effected including the big furry residents of the national park. >> this is not supposed to happen. we are supposed to hunker down and admire distant grizzlies through long lenses but these two mommas and their kids didn't get that memo. >> that was unbelievable. we were in the middle of a bear parade. >> well, we stood our ground. we made our focus in one spot and they came to us. >> are you having fun? >> yeah. >> brad believes this is safe in part because this is one of the rare spots in alaska where
