7:02 am
trigger flash flooding. >> protesters demanding answers after the police shooting of an unarmed teenager in east pittsburgh. >> just ran. running is not a death sentence. >> the retired archbishop has been removed from public ministry accused of sexually abusing a teenager more than 40 years ago. >> all that. >> the moment a deputy frees a bear from a car zblim going to stay out of your way, you stay out of mine, i'm out of here. >> and all that matters. >> canada just became the second nation in the world to legalize marijuana for recreational use. >> i'm just going to say, it's about time. finally, some laid back canadians. >> on "cbs this morning." >> the taps are running dry in the russian capital. where world cup fans have left many fans dry. >> a bunch of roundy football fans were going to do. the next round's on me.
7:03 am
cucumber, i've got you. d toyota, let's go e opener is places. welcome to "cbs this morning." you think they would run out of beer in russia during the world cup. that would be -- like fifa would make that a qualification for getting the world cup? must have enough malted beverage. >> don't they have vodka? >> that's true. >> something. >> norah o'donnell has the solution. >> there you go. >> in a rare public reversal, president trump says the u.s. will allow migrant families to stay together. even with his zero tolerance border policy still in place. the president temporarily ending the separation of children from their parents who cross the border el littillegally. >> the president exercised power he insisted just last week he did not have. he changed his mind and earned
7:04 am
intense pressure at the border. weej ja jiang is at the white house. >> reporter: senior republicans play add roed a role in the rev. also saying first lady and first daughter helped change his mind. president trump played to his base wednesday night in minnesota. >> democrats put illegal immigrants before they put american citizens. what the hell is going on? >> reporter: emphasizing border security over reuniting families. >> we want people to come in through merit. >> reporter: earlier, president trump weighed his immigration policy. >> if you're strong, but you don't have any heart. that's a tough dilemma. perhaps i'd rather be strong. >> reporter: and later, backed down from part of his key immigration policy, after
7:05 am
mounting pressure. >> i didn't like the sight or the feeling of families being separated. ivanka feels very strongly. my wife feels very strongly about it. i feel very strongly about it. >> reporter: the reversal follows days of defiance. >> when you prosecute the parents for coming in illegally, which should happen, you have to take the children away. >> reporter: and insistence that the only solution was a legislative fix. >> you can't do it through an executive order. >> the democrats forced that law upon our nation. >> reporter: but the executive order is a temporary solution. allowing families to be held together for only 20 days. it also does not address what happens to the more than 2,300 children who have already been separated from their parents. the administration put the pressure back on lawmakers. >> -- waiting for congress to get the fix. >> a lot of things that need to be done and can only be done by congress. >> reporter: on capitol hill, republican lawmakers expressed
7:06 am
concern that this is not a permanent fix. >> so the president's executive order is going to run into challenges. >> we still need to fix this in congress. >> reporter: initially, a health and human services official told me there would be no special efforts to reunite the families, but late last night, hhs walked that back, and said that spokesman misspoke, adding they're still waiting for further guidance, and border patrol says kids won't be reunited until after the parents are prosecuted. so gayle, there is some confusion. >> yes, a very confusing and heartbreaking situation. that picture says it all behind me. the 20-day limit on holding children, even with their parents, was established in a 1997 government agreement. once that time is up they have to be released or moved elsewhere. paula ready id is at the white e with more on the executive order that will keep families in custody together at least for now. paula, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. the administration will continue to prosecute every adult who
7:07 am
crosses the border illegally. the big change now is children will be detained with their parents while those adults await prosecution. but the president's executive order does not override something called the flores agreement. and that says that children cannot be detained in federal facilities for more than 20 days. government may still have to separate families in a little under three weeks. attorney general jeff sessions, he is expected to ask a federal judge in california to modify the flores agreement so families can remain together while they're being detained. it's unclear how long it will take to litigate this issue or whether the judge will be willing to permit the indefinite detention of minors. without a modification of the flores agreement, congress has less than three weeks to come up with a permanent solution. now, congress is expected to vote on two republican proposals. one is sort of a hard-line republican proposal. the other is a gop compromise. it's unclear whether either has enough votes to actually pass, but the president has said that he would support either bill if it can pass.
7:08 am
>> paula, thank you. customs and border protections says it's taking immediate steps to implement the executive order. we don't know if or when the more than 2,300 children already separated from their parents will be reunited. hundreds of people gathered at new york's la guardia airport last night to welcome children headed to one of more than 100 shelters in 17 states. >> new video provided by the government offers a look inside a florida shelter that holds about 1,200 kids, including many separate from their families. they're now being treated by the government as so-called unaccompanied children, just like minors who cross the border without their parents. david begnaud's at a shelter near the mexican border in mcallen, texas. david, good morning. as we keep hearing, a lot of confusion this morning. >> reporter: good morning. this is the new hope facility behind me. the woman who directed us here who you actually spoke with told us that there are about 60 children held here. some have been separated from their parents. and there are anywhere between 10 years old and 17 years old.
7:09 am
both i wouboys and girls. the question is what happens to them next. this morning, a man who used to run the federal program who takes care of children separated from their parents and he did that under the obama administration. he says then, and even now, the government is not equipped to take care of this large number of children, not to mention reunite them with their parents. alex antonio and 2-year-old son jeremy were released after being initially detained for the maximum period of 72 hours. the release came at the same time president trump signed his executive order. the honduran man told us while in custody he heard families were being separated and he feared it would happen to him and jeremy. for the more than 2,300 children already separated from their parents, the president's executive order may not change anything immediately. >> there's currently no system in place to reunite children with parents who are in detention. >> reporter: bob carey is an open society fellow. to run the refugee resettlement under the
7:10 am
obama administration. the federal agency responsible for caring for separated children. carey says oor shelter system was designed for minors who arrive at the border alone, typically adolescent boys, and is not really equipped from young children separated from their parents under the trump policy. >> this is child abuse being perpetrated by the government. >> reporter: early yesterday morning, these girls arrived at a facility in new york city which the mayor bill de blasio is saying isng children. some arrived withsi conoutagiou conditions like chicken pox and lice. >> the youngest to come here they told us was 9 months old. >> reporter: it keeps track of children with a unique identifier with an alien number. name, age, gender and country of origin are also recorded. ofelia de los santos says the >> it'tow a 's visited are well facility is. it's the fact they're not with
7:11 am
their parents. when they go to their beds at night, what do you think they think about? >> reporter: ophelia can tell you that usually when the kids arrive here at the facilities like new hope, they undergo a physical and mental health screening. federal officials spend some time trying to figure out if there's a relative that lives here in the united states that they can reunite with the child that has been taken into custody. but that process can take up to two months. >> oh, my gosh, david, you really put it in perspective there. especially as ophelia mentioned, it's not about how well the shelters are run, it's that you're there without your parents. you need someone to care for you in an emotional way. >> when you're a real little kid, you don't even know your parent's name because you know them as mommy and daddy or mami and papi in this particular case. even if you ask a child what is your parent's name, they may not be able to tell you what the name of their parent is. >> good point. many immigrants say they're fleeing to the u.s. because of relentless gang violence in their homeland. last year, nearly 30% of enred
7:12 am
the u.s. illegally came from el salvad salvador. the central american company has one of the world's highest murder rates. omar villafranca is in el salvador where police told him how gangs are terrorizie ining neighborhoods. >> reporter: local police tell us one of the biggest problems here in el sal va cvador is gan violence. we saw firsthand what they are trying to escape. as darkness fell on el salvador, we rode along with heavily armed police hunting for members of the notorious ms-13 and bario-18 gangs. while we were driving around, officers immediately stopped their trucks and confronted these three men and they think they are ms-13. they're pretty sure based on what they're using, especially shoes. shoes here, good shoes, nike shoes, can be expensive and
7:13 am
these guys are wearing them. the police are outswpighds parad by gang violence. we were with them as they arrested this man who they say is a member of ms-13. but he tells us he is not with ms-13. do you have friends in ms-13 we asked. no, he told us. between 60,000 and 100,000 salvadorans are thought to be involved with gangs. and the evidence of the gangs are everywhere. we're walking here in this neighborhood and we found an area where bario-18 has put a mural up of everybody who died and it says, in memory of the homies. got their in as and gravestones with all their nicknames. earlier in the day, police took us to san martin, acontrolled.n these houses were once filled with families but many have now
7:14 am
fled. some of them for the u.s. border. jose rubio lives in los angeles but was deported to el salvador in 1994. the country needs jobs, he says, so people don't have to get involved in gangs. but this woman says the gangs here even extort businesses. and they find ways to force young people to join. the gangs grab them, she says, and they join out of fear they will be killed. temporary protected status for el salvadorian immigrants in the u.s. runs out in september of 2019. meaning they could be forced out of the u.s. there's an estimated 200,000 el salvador ians living and working in the u.s. they're sending part of their paychecks here, back home to their family. if that money stops coming back home to el salvador, then people fear the violence here could get much worse. >> omar villafranca reporting from el salvador. i don't think most people
7:15 am
realize how bad it is. we kept hearing that over and over again. it's worth risking your life to get out of that place. thank you very much, omar. people in western pennsylvania, they are waking up to extensive flooding after a night of heavy rain. a car was just washed away by surging floodwaters. this is just outside pittsburgh. at least 66 people were rescued after getting caught in the high water. texas is having its own run of storms and flooding mostly along the gulf coast. flash flood warnings remain in effect for some areas after three days of relentless rain with more expected today. courtney zubowski is in texas where more rain fell overnight. hereou can ur see down the street there are flooded homes. if you walk with me down the main road in the city, you can see these businesses flooded. this area right here was ground zero for water rescue. the rain in texas rio grande valley has been nonstop. trigsh flos, making
7:16 am
roads impossible and homes uninhabitable. first responders came by air and boats to rescue people and pets that were trapped. >> boom, boom, the house starts shaking again. ever since then, the rain came out. >> reporter: adrienne de la torre has lived here his whole life and says he hasn't seen anything like this since hurricane katrina. >> nobody left home. everybody stays home. it's scary. >> reporter: 11 inches of rain fell from the sky in just 8 hours in weslaco yesterday. in mcallen, similar scene, where the fire department brought boats to rescue this group. for some texans, it's too much, too soon. >> we just got all our work done. all the repairs from harvey. and now we're forced with fixing that or tearing it out or who knows what. >> reporter: yesterday, this area saw about a foot of rain.

7:42 am
you can? >> sell as much as you can. the idea being that we're trying to expand our reach beyond just pain doctors. >> reporter: a year earlier, purdue admitted it falsely promoted oxycontin as less addictive by, among other means, claiming the drug's slow release formula did not cause a buzz or euphoria and could be used to weedut addicts. e 2001.th >> they made it sound like it was a little bit of a witch hunt on the government's part. >> reporter: but amid skyrocketing addiction rates and overdoses related to oxycontin, panera claims the company taught sales tactics she now considers questionable. saying some patients m ar adwhn htig o nlfacttheyy're just in pain. in training, she was taught a term for this. pseudo addiction. so the cure for pseudo addiction, you were trained is more opioids? >> a higher dose, yes. >> reporter: did this concept of

8:07 am
security analyst. she was counterterrorism adviser for president bush and joins us at the table. >> good morning. >> his zero tolerance policy is still in place. >> that's right. the executive order, as john pointed out, is that it only keeps them together for 20 days because by a court order you can't hold the children beyond kicked the can down the road and put from the white house's perspective, more pressure on congress. if you don't solve this in 20 days, we are going to be right back where we started. i do think it's not going to -- this hasn't solved it. >> you're a prosecutor. would you prosecute all of these cases? listen, it's clear they're breaking the law. should it be taken into account why they're breaking the law? >> mostly, the zero tolerance policy is the deterrence. put aside the family separation because before prior cases, they

did not prosecute all these cases. look. i prosecuted cases for many years. to allow a prosecutor to say it would be an injustice and these are misdemnors. u.s. attorneys along the u.s./south borders don't take t. in custo are 11,000 dy. what happens to them now? will they be reunited with their parents? >> the majority came along alone, most of them unaccompanied. most of them coyotes, the result of smugglers. it's not clear. what we don't know is what makes it so there's persistent and consistent contact between the child and the parent who's in custody facing prosecution. none of those questions have
8:09 am
been answered. >> it doesn't look like congress is going to do anything exciting. the judge may not change anything. so this 20 days happens. then what happens next. is there anything other than keeping the families detained or splitting them up? >> your third option is either you choose to have the zero tolerance policy, in which case we're right back again. you're going to separate the families. the children are going to go and the parents are going to the justice department to face prosecution or they agree to immediate deportation, in which case everybody would be sent back. but the president is not going to -- you're either going to prosecute and separate them or you're not and then you're returns to the idea of catch and release. you either release them to the united states or agree to immediate deportation. >> sounds like, fran, you'll be back. fran townsend, thank you so

thrajs now plan to phase out paint stripping products containing a potentially deadly chemical. health authorities believe strippers with toxic methylene chloride. home depot, sherwin williams and lowe's will stop selling the products by the end of the year. anna warner investigated this story for months. you had that story here if. looks like things are changing. good morning. >> things definitely be changing. it's very interesting. epa scientists as we've told you have said this chemical poses an unreasonable risk but products containing methylene chloride have been sold for years. victims usually young men died after stripping paint off a car, for example. those families have been pushing for action not only at the epa, but at the retail level.
8:34 am
we reached out to those three companies planning to sto the sale of these products now by the end of the year. lowe's says it wants to bring safer, affordable options to customers. home depot also says it wants to improve health and environmental safety for products, and sherwin williams says it also has alternatives that do not cctontaeiniv efmethylene ch. there was concern the epa would not uphold its planned ban on the chemical. activists say they are cautiously optimistic to the idea that that will happen, but that's going to take much longer and in the meantime families say they are not willing to wait and watch more people die. these deaths can happen quickly. >> remind us the story you've told of people who died using this. >> typically what happens is you go to a store, and you buy a can of paint strip, strip paint off a car or furniture, something like that. if you use it indoors, your life can be at risk, in an enclosed
8:35 am
space because you need so much more ventilation than a normal situation. you need some enclosed spaces you need a piece of equipment that forces oxygen into your face with a tube running out this way. consumers don't have that. and people are unaware of the danger, because you just buy it off the shelf, a lot of people don't read labels. if you do, the labels can be confusing. >> they're paying attention now. thank you, anna, very much. congress could soon take up new legislation to help suicide prevention programs. senate democratic leader chuck schumer calling on the federal government to increase funding and create more resources to reduce the number of suicides. this comes after a cdc study found nearly 45,000 people died by suicide in 2016. it is the tenth leading cause of death in the united states. the recent high-profile deaths of kate spade and anthony bourdain sparked a national conversation about mental health and suicide prevention. it's the topic we've covered and
8:36 am
will continue to discuss here on "cbs this morning." dr. chris, christine moutier is with us. good morning. >> good morning. >> you said this should be declared a national health crisis. why should it be declared a national health crisis and what would that mean? >> suicide has been in the top ten leading cause of death and generally preventable cause of death and that has been for a number of years. >> it's higher than the homicide rate in this country. >> that is correct and as the cdc report pointed out, it's been on the rise since 1999. so i think the issue is that, as a nation, we have not been paying attention. it is happening every day, every week. we suffer the tragic loss of two high-profile individuals, and yet every week 865 americans are dying by suicide, and so again, this is the moment, we are ready to pay attention, people are asking the right questions, and
8:37 am
there is a science to inform a strategy, and there is advocacy under way. >> i keep hearing that suicide is a permanent problem, permanent solution to a temporary problem. is it correct to assume that everyone who commits suicide, and we'll talk about that, too, because i know you all don't like that phrase, correct to assume that they have mental health issues? couldn't it be you're so stressed about something and that you're not mentally ill, or does itn that you have a mental health meaproblem? >> well one in four americans is living with a mental health condition and less than half of them are having it addressed, diagnosed and treated. think about the millions of people also who experience incredible stress, loss of job, relationship strain, financial strain and more, trauma. >> don't take their lives. >> don't have suicidal ideation necessarily, let alone die by suicide. there have to be other risk factors that come to bare and mental health conditions and some aspects of the brain, there is a neurobiology behind suicide
8:38 am
risk. it is complex but it is a health related outcome. >> we've all been looking for signs that someone may be depressed to the point they may be suicidal and part of the reading i've learned there are words that people use who may be suicidal. what are those words? >> well, when a person becomes so distressed, someone becomes suicidal not because they are necessarily wanted to think about death. they're in pair, despair, and anguish and in that moment of extreme distress, their cognition actually narrows into more of a tunnel vision. we think of a contradicted sort of thinking, and so the idea of taking their life is a solution in that moment. so right. >> there are things like this is not going to get any better, or there's no way i can change this. cialo hide o distressts>>ne to a g thing to a point, and so subtle changes in possibly tip you off and i would
8:39 am
trust your gut instinct. you know the people around you in your life and you know their patterns when they're isolating, withdrawing, their sleep starts to change, they're drinking more, losing more, losing their temper more, all indications likely their mental health could be shifting and deteriorating. >> what other kinds of cultural and societal shifts have taken place that are outside of the neurobiological piece that we need to be thinking about in terms of this? >> right, we think about this rise in the suicide rate, this comes at a time when the american public is actually wonderfully more open-minded about mental health being a part of health. now we need to deepen that to a greater level of literacy and sort of actionable strategies, but the societal reasons we believe have to do with, because suicide is multifactorrial, so economic changes, access to lethal means, the opioid epidemic we're in right now, just that infusion of an easy
8:40 am
access to lethal means can drive up a rate. >> someone stopped me on the street and said i wish you would stop saying committed suicide. that is the wrong thing to say. what should we say? >> thank you for raising that. there have been tremendous advocacy efforts, the ap style book has changed and advises against the phrase committed suicide, because if you think about the term committed implies a criminal act, a moral act, committed murder, and suicide has been vastly misunderstood over the years. >> what should we say? >> the person took their life, died by suicide, ended his or her life, plain language, no judgment. >> we're going to continue this conversation. thank you so much, dr. moutier, thank you. if you or someone you know is in crisis contact the national suicide prevention lifeline, that's 1-800-273-8255 and also find more information on our website, cbsthismorning.com. scientists are looking far into the past to see what dinosaurs can tell us about the
