park service says it will examine the incident and see if any additional security measures need to be put in place to make sure something like this doesn't happen again. okoumou is facing trespassing charges among others. rescuers at a flooded cave in thailand are looking for ways to free a youth soccer team trapped inside before more heavy rain. 12 boys and a coach have been stuck in the cave for nearly two weeks. up to 5 inches of rain is expected in the region over the next ten days. some areas will get up to the 9 inches. ben tracy is outside the cave in chiang rai, thailand. >> reporter: rescuers have been looking for an entrance to this cave from above, hoping they can airlift the boys out. they're worried about the heavy rains headed this way this weekend that they may flood the cave again and make any sort of rescue attempt nearly impossible. emergency workers are racing to pump out the excess water from the flooded cave. they're ling thrto me room s.soo

there is nothing they can't do. i have faith. tanawut said the thai navy s.e.a.l.s have not told the families when or if they will attempt the dangerous rescue. he knows it may be safer for his son to stay in the cave until the water recedes. once your son comes home, what's the first thing you're going to say to him? "i will tell him you are home and you are safe." "me and your mother were waiting for you and we love you." now, i did ask titan's father if he blames the 25-year-old soccer coach who apparently went into the cave with these boys, despite the signs of risk, and he says he does not. he says he's a good guy and he gave all of his food and water to the boys until the rescuers arrived. anthony. en tracyn u hao nyst those boys. could be down there for a long time. people were poisoned by the same

so four months down the line, it's obviously still toxic. >> reporter: and that presents a new and urgent challenge for counterterrorism police here. still, health officials here insist the rest of the general public remains low. they're advising not to pick up anything they're unsure of. >> at least fortunately for the couple they're at a hospital with medical officials there now familiar with how to treat novichok attacks. that is good for them. charlie d'agata in salisbury, thank you. president trump's longtime fixer has dropped another hint he's breaking ties with him. he erased a line calling himself the president's personal attorney from his twitter biography yesterday. he also changed the background from a picture showing him working with mr. trump to a photo of an american flag. cohen is under investigation for his business dealings, including payments to adult film star stormy daniels. he recently said his first

in some people who are sensitized, they can have an yo it? >> in some cases it could be but we think it could dissipate over time, within a couple of years? >> years? >> years. >> years? >> 2 to three years. but if you get tick bites again, then it will make it longer for the condition to go away. >> what are the symptoms of a lone star tick bite? i love how it's named after my home state. >> so in the meat allergy we're talking about a skin rash, hives, gastrointestinal symptoms, cramps, nausea, diarrhea. you can treat it with antihit means, steroids. people with severe reactions should carry an epipen. >> do lone star ticks look different than other ticks? >> they have small cowboy hats. >> dude, boots, four little boots. >> they have a white spot, the females do on their brown back. the males have kind of white streaks or spots around the outside.

>> but that's very imperceptible, you can't tell with the naked eye? >> youd stroh look closely. but you can wash your clothes or put them in the drier for ten minutes on high heat, that will kill the ticks. avoid kind of those high grassy areas, stay on the trails. so there's things you can do, treat your dogs for ticks. that could help. >> the summer warm being environment, global climate change, all of these things are contributing to an increase in ticks. we're also talking about mosquitoes. what should we do to protect ourselves. >> most people think about west nile virus, zika virus. you can remove standing water, use repellants, stay indoors, air-condition, there are things you can do. unfortunately for things like west nile, for example, in most cases there aren't symptoms. one out of five people will get

>> it's one of the bigger roadblocks that's stopping it. phoenix is kind of a hot bed for testing. there's very little legislation which means companies can do whatever they want to. elsewhere in the u.s., it's much more difficult. there's no longer a place that will allow it. >> so if the tech is there, the regulatory infrastructure is developing, why do we keep seeing these high-profile crashes of these self-driving cars? >> there have been actually few crashes if you look at them. waymo in particular has covered millions and millions of miles. these cars are proving to be more safe than human drivers, but, of course, whenever there is a crash, we have more data. >> we talk about legislation, tim. what about the insurance industry being ready for this change. >> it's definitely a big concern for insurance, of course, because the cars are expected to

be much more safer. but there's a lot of questions who's liable in a krarnld will you need insurance. right now you will. but going forward we may see a dimple approach. you buy into a program and insurance is baked into that. we're beginning to soo they. it's like volvo. you pay a given amount per month and you get a car and insurance and everything else you need. >> it's interesting. i interviewed the ceo of uber a couple of months ago and they were introducing their flying taxis. i'm curious while these companies are developing the technology, the demand is not quite there yet. what do they see consumers don't see? >> there's not only demand. there's fear. americans are afraid of this technology, they don't want to drive themselves. ultimately it will be so safe people will change mary minds.

uber can take the person out of the car. they not only get it a lot cheaper but get rid of the risks of background checks and things like that. some of the bigger problems. >> those are all jobs. to replace them with rowboats, that changes how people are making a dollar. >> it does. >> thanks for that. our series "a more perfect union" shows us what unites is far greater than divides us. we went to new jersey to meet shirley johnson and carolyn grace and the younger residents. they're both inspiring. >> everybody gets a bag. >> reporter: community organized. shirley johnson and carolyn grace are leading a group of mostly kid volunteers for the second annual cleanup day in their southern new jersey community.

>> it's civics 101. i believe in local governments so much. that's where the rubber meets the road and thwe have to solve problems. dmoinlts what they're doing in war, but we're solving problems locally. >> the day after the shooting in january, officers arrived with a command unit and an effort to reinforce commitment. >> one of the things i noticed was a police officer playing football with the kids out here. it's a beautiful site. >> mm-hmm. it's one of the strategies in gloucester township. young people know they can walk up to a police officer and they can say hello and the police officers are there to help them. >> reporter: from above, you can see brittany woods as part of a much broader community, one with broader neighborhoods just over the fence. >> reporter: they have to see this community as a healthy community, not one they can come

impulse, you don't give people stopping cues, you just keep scrolling. the thing we didn't realize is we were using our design techniques and it became so powerful that it just addicts people. >> that is leading tech engineer on the bbc series panorama. in the investigation by our bbc past nerds, silicon valley insiders say our phones are designed to be addictive and that makes it harder to disconnect. nearly one in ten americans checks their phone every three minutes while on vacation and some use their phone more than 300 times a day. we have a tech columnist for yahoo finance. >> did you say something? >> permanently on his phone. however, he can here with tips on how to unplug during your summer vacation. this is an intervention. but seriously, you hear about the amount of times and minutes that americans are on their phones every single day.

what are some tips to get away from that at least while on obvf you have the self-discipline, you can go in and turn off the notifications from the apps that bother you most and temp you most. but if you don't have that self-discipline, these are where the tips come in. first of all, announce to your family or companion what your expectations are. i'm allowed to check the sports scores before bed, the news in the morning, but other than that i'm off the phone. that way you will guilt yourself and they're allowed to nag you. secondly, if you don't have the ability to turn on do not disturb or something like that, my wife had this great suggestion, delete the apps. >> whoa. >> delete the apps. >> facebook, twitter. >> i've heard people do that ting ttterntil ty back, yeah. >> of course if you're really pathetic you can re-install them on vacation and look, but it's that one more obstacle. >> companies understand, though, that self-constroll one piece of

this, but they're also instituting policies to help their employees. >> yeah. >> wean themselves. >> the big one is daimler, the german automaker gives you the option when you go on vacation your out of office auto reply can say, by the way, i'm on vacation. your e-mail will be deleted. if it's important, e-mail me after august 15th or send -- if it's really important send it to my colleague anthony mason. and my point is there's nothing to stop anyone -- boy. >> that all the time. >> please don't send your e-mail to me. >> but what's interesting here, that's a work problem. but we spend so much time on our phones not just because we're inundated with work e-mails but because of all these social apps we're connected to too. i mean, i love the idea of endlessly being sucked in as this guy on the bbc report says. it is a problem. how do you -- you have to disconnect your social life as well. >> you do. we are literally addicted in the medical sense. we get a little dopa mean kick

every time we check every time someone likes us and so on. but you can fight apps with apps. there are these apps for android, there's one called offline. it's like a do not disturb on steroids. it blocks all apps, messaging, texts, calls, except from the people you designate as important. and for the iphone this one called onward is similar, you can put time limits on which apps you use. >> you need a self-discipline app. >> are they going to redesign some of this stuff in the future knowing what we know now? >> they are. this is the year for digital health, both apple for the iphone operating system this fall and android for android "p" coming soon. both have this new mode that, "a," tallies up and shows you how many times a day you wake up your phone. by the way, it's horrifying. >> yeah. >> average person, 85 times a day, average. i've been running the beta and it's like 130. i'm like oh my -- what's wrong

with me. and it also lets you set time limits for certain apps, like no more than six hours a day on facebook. >> should we be nervous? should we be nervous when we hear more and more of these tech executives say that they do not let their kids use these apps archd use phones too? >> my feeling is that every generation has its technological bugaboo for their kids. my parents weren't allowed to listen to the radio so much. for me, don't watch so much tv. for my kids, get your fats out of that phone. every generation it's normal and human. >> there's some data on there that social networks that are digital and not social. >> i'm just saying that different doesn't mean worse. >> okay, the decided optimist about all of this. a beloved dog that was stolen in a florida car jacking was finally reunited with his owner. ahead the emotional reunion plus what led investigators to the missing pug. you can hear more on the podcast
