the coast right now. parts of the nation of low-lying islands are in ruins. two more deaths were confirmed overnight, bringing the official title total to seven. the prime minister says he expects this number will rise. take a look at before and after satellite images that show grand bahama island was left under water. >> dorian is now moving as a strong category 2 storm hugging the u.s. coastline. warnings are in northern florida and the carolinas. our team is tracking it all but we begin in the bahamas with "cbs this morning's" lead national correspondent, david begnaud. he is in the capital. i understand that is the stage for rescues. what is happening there? >> reporter: if there is hope this morning, the sunrises on hope because it is a new day of searching today. we're at airport because this is where people are being medevaced

and taken to a local hospital. if you look out on the tarmac, there is about a half dozen people loading up a helicopter as they get ready to take off into an area where there is no cell signal. the reason we're in the bahamas in nassau this morning is because we have the signal live to tell you what's going on. they saw people waving for help below. they could not be rescued because the conditions were so poor. today they will try again. the extent of dorian's destruction across the northern bahamas is immense. from the air, flying over abaco island, the damage stretches for miles. entire neighborhoods flattened, homes shredded, shipping containers and boats hurled inland. some airports look like lakes now. this is the terminal of one of them, shrouded in debris. >> we are in the midst of one of the greatest national crisis in our country's history.

>> reporter: dorian ravaged abaco island in the bahamas. the red cross said nearly 13,000 homes, that's nearly half the number of those two islands, were damaged or destroyed. video from inside one home during the storm shows waves crashing against the second story window as more water is pouring in below, pounding against the stairs. the united states coast guard says it has rescued more than 45 people after deploying several helicopters to this region. >> at this point we're still in the early stages of the response. we're concentrating very much on parts, fuel, people, communications gear. >> reporter: the fact that the storm was so slow to get out of here, and now that the infrastructure is crippled, it has delayed search and rescue efforts, leaving many people to fend for themselves. tim aylan, a journalist working

with the associated press, filmed himself and his family abandoning their home in freeport. his daughter is seen wading through life-threatening storm surge, carrying one of their animals. people had been using boats and jet skis, even inflatable toys, to ferry other people to safety. >> they came over the roof. >> reporter: howard armstrong decided the gut-wrenching moment when water came in their home and his wife was standing in the kitchen. >> i kept with her and she just drowned on me. >> reporter: it was incredible to hear him talk about being on that kitchen counter and watching his wife succumb to what he believed was hypothermia and then seeing her slip under the water. he was able to swim to safety. he found a boat and that's what rescued him. this morning there is a royal navy vessel which is moving into the area with more personnel and food. speaking of food, a little bit later on at 7:30, we have the

story of chef jose andreas and their team. we went to their hotel and got their last meeting as they planned to prepare thousands of meals. wait until you hear the fleet of resources that the chef has rented in order to get out to the hardest hit areas today. we'll have that at 7:30. >> thank you so much. heartbreaking images, really. they say that's the price of living in paradise, but that's a high price to pay. mandatory evacuations are in place for eight counties along flori florid florida's east coast. mark, how are the conditions there in jacksonville? >> reporter: good morning. this is the bay front in one of the oldest cities. we have flooding this morning, and there is more where that came from.

we had a 48-mile-an-hour wind reported at the airport. when dorian hits, there could be storm surge of up to 7 inches, and as always, beach communities are most at risk. one of them is summer island with its oceanfront views and pricey homes. two hurricanes battled it hard the last few years. homes were destroyed and replaced. natural rocks and berms made of stone and sand to hold off future storms. they've already been bridged by dorian's leading edge, and that has exposed the homes to more misery. >> as you can see, they've done a lot of protective measures and barriers here trying to save people's valuables and homes and lively hoods. however, nothing is going to stop mother nature. >> which is not going to stop coming. >> we have another 48 hours here. >> this could be in serious trouble. >> there could be multiple breaks in the inlet.

>> reporter: right now it's low tide out at the beach. if high tide, which is at 1:00 this afternoon, if that's when dorian hits here, that could be real trouble. anthony? >> mark, thanks. hurricane dorian threatens to do more damage to south carolina's crumbling krocoastline. it's under a hurricane warning that extends all the way past wilmington, north carolina. coastal counties are being evacuated. nearly a quarter million people have left rather than face up to 7 feet of storm surge. jamie yuccas is in charleston. jamie, what else can the state expect from dorian? >> reporter: good morning. we're just starting to feel the impact of hurricane dorian. you can see it started raining just a short time ago. that's why officials are saying it could be a triple threat here. rain, winds and high tide. they're talking about storm surge in this area anywhere from 3 to 10 feet by tomorrow morning, depending on how this all kind of comes together. that's why there are warnings up and down the coastline of south

carolina. now, my crew has been here since saturday. i can tell you the area is now almost a ghost town. we saw homeowners, businesses, even the fire department boarding up. those homeowners picked up about 75,000 sandbags, some still being distributed at this point today. interstate 26 running out of town so people can get to higher ground, that is now on a one way so people can get there quickly. schools are closed today, the government is closed today, and we're told that the airport will be shutting down a little bit later on this afternoon, because we are expecting those winds to pick up. at some point they could be in excess of 60 miles per hour. >> jamie, thank you. meteorologist megan glaros of our chicago station wbbm-tv is watching dorian's track. what is happening with this storm? >> yes, and it's moving much more quickly. what we're looking at right now are the counterclockwise

circular motions which means we have sustained gusts and sustained winds across the florida coastline. it's a category 2 storm right now, with winds at 125 miles per hour. movement has picked up so much. yesterday it was stationary at this time. now it's moving north-northwest at 8 miles per hour. expect it to stay at a cat 2. as we roll through into thursday morning, here's where we have the potential of it getting a little closer to land here, so we're talking north or south carolina for a possible landfall within that cone of error. but take a look at where that center track goes, and then we ever the entire right side of the cone. it's possible we don't have a u.s. landfall from this storm while still impacting four states, florida, georgia, south and north carolina. so let's start this evening. as we look at the core of hurricane force winds offshore for georgia, by the time we move into tomorrow morning, we're looking at south and new york wi -- north carolina for the potential of storm surge

conditions. we'll track it as it gets closer to the coastline the next few days. >> we hope it stays off the coast. megan, thank you very much. newly released video shows the boat burning on the vessel monday morning. we're also learning about the 34 people feared dead. megan talked to a man who lost five members of his own family. she's in stockton, california. meg, the family is hoping for answers today. what do you know? >> reporter: good morning, the national transportation safety board is joining the investigation. its final report could take months. yesterday we talked to dominic selga. his family was on the boat and they took a trip on the boat every year. >> you don't want to believe it. you want to hold onto that 1%, but at this point the heart knows. >> dominic selga says his mother, stepfather and three stepsisters were among the 34

presumed dead aboard the dive boat conception. it burst into flames and sank on the california coast early monday morning. >> people near the boat called it pure horror, watching helplessly, watching those flames. >> they were down in really small bunks. to have no escape, it was replaying in my head. it was a complete nightmare. >> rescuers tried to recover bodies that were below deck. it was owned by a sister company with the same layout as conception. >> i never thought i would have to go through this. >> sharon mcdonough said her 22-year-old daughter was on board. >> she was just following her dreams. she loved it here, she loved the boat, she loved diving. >> reporter: also among the passengers, experienced diver krissie finstad.

the boat now rests on the bottom of the ocean floor. >> we will map a search area which is about a half mile in size in our continuing efforts to recover additional victims and evidence. >> reporter: meanwhile, family members are being asked to provide dna to help identify the victims. >> there was an extraordinarily hot fire and the bodies do exhibit signs of extreme thermal damage. >> reporter: for selga, he just wants answers for his mother. if there is one thing you could say to your mom, what would it be? >> if there was one thing i could say to my mom, i love y you -- that's it. >> reporter: the selga family was on board to celebrate his stepfather's birthday. he would have turned 61 years old today. the ntsb says they are 100% confident they will be able to determine what caused the fire.

>> heartbreaking. meg, thank you. british politics are in chaos this morning after a stunning setback for prime minister boris johnson. opposition lawmakers are trying to pass a law to stop johnson from taking britain out of the eu without a divorce agreement. a so-called no-deal brexit could send shock waves through the world economies, including the u.s. mark phillips is outside parliament in london. mark, what does this mean for the prime minister? >> reporter: good morning. when boris johnson came into of office, he said he had a plan for getting brexit out of the european union, talked tough no matter what the consequences. it turned out the consequences for him and the country are not great. >> ayes to the right, 328. the nos to the left, 301. >> not a good start, boris. >> reporter: not a good start at all for boris johnson, the man

president trump said would do a great job as prime minister. in his first test since taking office, he lost. >> so the ayes have it. >> reporter: the vote means johnson's one negotiating card, his threat to walk away from the european union at the end of next month with or without a new trade deal, is now effectively off the table. johnson's response, to threaten to call an election. >> i may want an election for the mps to vote tomorrow to stop negotiations. that would be the only way to resolve this. >> reporter: the opposition's response, bring it on. but only after a no-deal brexit is no longer an option. >> he wants to table a motion for a general election. fine. get the bill through first! >> reporter: boris johnson no longer has the majority in parliament. his mps in his own party that voted against him last night have been kicked out, including, by the way, the grandson of winston churchill.

an election now seems the likeliest outcome, and for brexit it seems there is another delay. >> thanks, mark. the trump administration is diverting billions of dollars from military projects to pay for 175 miles of the president's border wall along the u.s.-mexico border. there are 11 different wall projects, including new and replacement barriers. ben tracy is at the white house. ben, what do we know about where the money is coming from? >> reporter: well, the pentagon is taking $3.6 billion from 127 different military projects. half of those are here in the u.s., the other half are overseas. the pentagon is not yet saying which specific projects are going to be defunded. now, the trump administration says these military projects are delayed, they're not actually canceled, but a democratic aide tells cbs news that democrats in congress will not make up for the funding in these projects, so they are essentially canceled. in a letter to lawmakers, secretary of defense mike asper

said the border wall money is necessary to support american forces which are now stationed along the southern border. the pentagon says it's going to be at least 100 days before any sort of construction will take place on the border, but this does allow president trump to say that he is working on his border wall as he runs for reelection. tony? >> all right, ben, thank you very much. ahead, walmart announces a major change to its g policy after recent mass shootings. but first, it's 7:19. time to check your local weather. irst at 7:19, time to check your local weather. selga.

david begnaud is in the capital of nassau where relief efforts are underway. david, please describe the scene there where you are at right now. >> reporter: we are inside the private airport hangar here at the na t nassau airport. this is the response to the humanitarian crisis. if you look around the room there is everything from security guards to bohemian national guards to a family from arkansas. they are from arkansas. they have hair otheir own organn of search and rescue. they flew their own plane in here to be a part of it. that's what we're talking about. folks showing up at the airport asking for permission to help. to the pictures now that we have that show just the devastation that has happened around the abaco islands and grand bahama. it is catastrophic. since the storm has left here, choppers are now able to fly, more of them.

and they have captured jaw-dropping images like these. in freeport on grand bahama island there is a terminal at the airport that is a mangled mess of metal. ripped open and gutted. the united states coast guard is so crucial here right now. they have deployed resources and continue to aid the people affected. there is an mh-60 jayhawk helicopter, several crews out of a ambrose island. there are a dozen shallow water rescue boats on stand-by. the coast guard says it rescued at least 47 people. here you can see responders aiding medics and airlifting people out of the marsh harbour area on abaco island. at least 60% of the homes are destroyed. along the way crews captured images of the devastation. you can see boats toss around like toys, stacked on top of each other. some communities are completely underwater. the united nations estimates 60,000 people in the bahamas have had their homes flooded and

are in need of food and water. 60,000 people. anthony, think about this. the red cross estimates nearly 99% of people living in grand bahama and abaco islands are in need of some kind of assistance. food, water, something right now. >> everybody feeling the impact. thank you. dorian is likely to hug the southeast u.s. coast for another 48 hours or more. hurricane, tropical storm, and storm surge warnings are in effect from central florida all the way up through virginia. widespread flash flooding is the biggest threat. mark strassmann is in saint augustine, florida, where they are bracing for winds as strong as 65 miles per hour and five feet? storm surge. what conditions are you seeing there now? >> reporter: good morning. a blustery morning here. winds in the mid-30s. it could get stronger, obviously. we have not had significant rain since early this morning, but trust me.

people are still battening down. i want to show you something here. this is the bay washing up against the seawall here in downtown st. augustine. this is the most flood prone area of the city. the seawall is the last defense. as dorian heads up the eastern seaboard we are bracing for winds as strong as 65 miles per hour. fema said yesterday dorian will have minimal impact here. but the governor sees it differently. he is warning residents to stay vigilant. mandatory evacuation orders are up in parts of eight counties here, and voluntary notices are in effect in two more. but even as dangerous weather continues to lash florida's coast, seven counties have lifted evacuation orders, including the state's largest, palm beach county, south of here. meanwhile, a significant disruption, too, to air travel. hundreds of flights have been canceled at orlando international. it's about two hours from where i am standing. the largest airport in the

state. it's one of six airports where air travel has been suspended and people are going to have to look for other ways to get in and out of the state. back to you. >> thank you very much. meteorologist megan glaros of our chicago station wbbm-tv is here with the newest advisory from the national hurricane center. megan, what does it say? >> what we are looking at now, a category 2 storm. winds to 105. movement north-northwest at 8 miles per hour. it's picked up a pretty good clip at this point. 125 miles east-southeast of jacksonville. what are we looking at in terms of the wind effects from this? by the time we run into wednesday evening into thursday, possible hurricane-force conditions along the carolina coastline. possibly close to that as well around parts of georgia. the heaviest rain will likely fall from georgia, south carolina line up into the charleston area. that's what we call fresh water flooding. then we are looking at the potential for storm surge as well. there is a threat from georgia

all the way up into the carolinas as well. so we really are going to see a threat from storm surge flooding, too. in fact, across portions of the charleston area as much as an eight-foot storm surge. >> thank you. that's the latest. keep track of hurricane dorian 24/7 and watch our streaming service cbsn or log on to cbsnews.com. as we see more catastrophic hurricanes like dorian, should scientists consider adding a category 6 to the hurricane scale? cbs news climate and weather contributor jeff berardelli will

in our series "eye on earth" with dorian churning up the east coast, we look at how global warms can affect hurricanes. it peaks around september 10th, which is a week away. in all the years of record keeping there have only been five category 5 hurricanes in the atlantic. five happened in the last four years including dorian which smashed into the bahamas. at one point dorian moved only 25 miles in 24 hours, parked basically over the bahamas. is there a connection between slow-moving storms and climate change. >> we think there probably is. first i have to say storms staal naturally. harvey stalled naturally, dorian

stalled naturally. however, there's reasons to support that they're slowing down by around 16%. this is from james coast, a researcher at noaa. he surmises it probably has to do with climate change, but it is something we need to look more deeply into because we're not 100% sure right now. but it certainly is cutting-edge research. >> what about the power, five category 5 in the last five years. is it just bad luck or climate change? >> so water temperatures are getting warmer, right, all over the world. that is high octane fuel to power stronger storms. so we see a trend in more category 4s and category 5s. some of that is questionable simply because before the advent of satellites, we may have missed category 4s and category 5s in the 1800s. with that said, there seems to be a fairly robust angle with intense hurngss, and the research does, in fact, support that. in the future we expect to see a

lot more of that. most all the research shows hurricanes are likely to get more intense. we may see more of them. cat 4s and 5s are the most destructive. >> forecasters show when you double the wind speed, you not only double the damage but worse than that. >> compare wins of 185 miles an hour like dorian with a low end hurricane at 75 miles an hour like barry. it's not double the amount of damage or 20 times or 100 times the amount of damage. it's over 1,000 times the damage potential when you spike the winds from 75 to 185 miles an hour. that's why it's so concerning that these hurricanes seem to be getting stronger. >> september 10th is the peak of hurricane season. what else are you monitoring out there? >> all of a sudden it just turned on. that is fairly common during this time of year, the end of august and about the middle of september. so we have two tropical storms

we have out there. there is also something moving off africa we need to watch closely over the next two weeks or so. we're in an active short-term cycle for the next two weeks or so. hurricane season last s into october. >> what you're seeing this yearing is it time to start thinking about adding a category 6 to the range of hurricane strength? >> this is something meteorologists are debating a lot over the last couple of years because of the monster storms pushing over the top of category 5. some meteorologists think yes. most think no simply because cat 5s are already very destructive. but this is what i would say. if you want to send a message as a scientific community because we keep getting these intense hurricanes anded they're getting stronger in reaching the top end five, if you want to send a message about climate change, the best way to do it is to add another category. it's not just winds. it's dropping heavy rain because

it's stalling and the atmosphere is stronger. more damage. >> sounds like you might be in the yes camp. thank you very much. presidential hopeful yang says he has what it takes to be president. you're watching "cbs this morning." with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis find clear skin that can last. don't use if you're allergic to cosentyx. before starting, get checked for tuberculosis. an increased risk of infections and lowered ability to fight them may occur. tell your doctor about an infection or symptoms, if your inflammatory bowel disease symptoms develop or worsen, or if you've had a vaccine or plan to. serious allergic reactions may occur. how sexy are these elbows? ask your dermatologist about cosentyx. so josh, you going for our drive safe and save discount? ♪ yup, using the app. driving safe. heh. you wanna go? wanna go bro? hey, uh, do not mess with my discount. woooo!

this morning," democratic presidential candidate andrew yang is confident he can beat joe biden. the 2020 hopeful told us why he believes hi has what it takes to beat president trump. >> polls show most democratic voters, two-thirds, the main thing they want in a candidate is someone who can beat donald trump. >> yep. yes. i'm one of only two candidates in the field that 10% of donald

trump voters say they would support. >> why is that? >> because i'm focused on solving the problems they see around them every day, and i'm laser focused on making their lives better. that's why i'm getting thousands of trump voters and democrats and libertarians. if i'm the democratic leader, we win. >> that's joe biden's arguments. >> but i'm leading in the polls. >> you think you'll beat joe biden. >> i think i'll be the nominee. if you listen to joe's talk, his main argument is his election is going to be a restoration of the obama/biden administration inessence, which is literally a move backward in time. to me saying that, we can somehow erase not just donald trump's presidency, but all the reasons why people voted for donald trump. to me it's not correct.

these things happened. we're going to have to address them. we'rer going to have to solve the problems that got donald trump elected, one, if we're going to win and, two, if we're going to move forward. >> it's interesting. he's also paint as very dark picture of the direction of the economy. he said the problem isn't immigration but automation. he's the candidate offering $1,000 a month, a freedom dividend, to everybody in the country essentially. he's sort of carved out a space no one else has. >> freedom dividend is a good name, and a thousand a month is a good policy. >> it's pretty attractive. coming up on "cbs this morning" tomorrow, more on andrew yang and why he believes the american dream is dying, he says, by the numbers. being a picky eater could have dangerous consequences. it caused one teenager essentially to go blind. samantha heller is in the toyota green room with when you should be concerned.

welcome back to "cbs this morning." bring you some each pick a story we'd like to share. what's your story? >> okay. i want to start off with lizzo. her song made history. "trust hurts" top 100, first black woman this year to score a hit. take a listen. ♪ ♪ ♪ the 31-year-old singer's

song "truth hurts" actually first came ute two years ago. it took two years to reach number one, which is really cool. there's a lot of things i love about lizzo. one shoes a classically trained flutist. she started playing when she was 6 years old. she calls it sasha flute, a nod to beyonce's. >> i like the mix. >> she's only the fifth this decade, so she joins johns, rihanna, cardi b, and janelle monae. in good company there. >> that is very good company. my talk of the table maybe playing that song today. california lotto winner. latest superlotto winner, won $9 million over the weekend. what's remarkable about this, not the fact it's a lotto winner. when you talk to lotto winners you hear their story, oh, i'm

google to keep going to work, live my life, not going to let it change me. a sprig of truth. she went to work, worked for hours, found out she won and came back and quit. her boss said you realize you're not going to have any medical benefits if you quit. she put her head on his shoulder and laughed. >> don't we spend the money before we win it. >> everybody's fantasy. listen to this story. a maid of honor in nebraska got a good laugh when she wore a dinosaur costume to her sister's wedding. that's because her sister said she could wear anything she wanted. >> here she comes. >> can you believe that? most brides turn into bridezilla and want to control everything. she said wear anything you want. christina, her sister and maid of honor. she said, if i'm spending more than $50, i want it to be a dinosaur costume because they are fantastic and i've always

wanted one. i like this story because it reminded me of my grandson's birthday party last year where a t-rex showed up. dillon's fifth birthday. there's dillon with the t-rex. i just want you to know that is not christina, that is not the bridesmaids, that is my stepdaughter's brother-in-law. >> they are everywhere, campaign season doing live shots, guys will wrestle t-rexes. >> two studies reveal how your diet can have a negative and long lasting impact on your health in new ways. one study found a teenager's extremely poor eating habits caused him to effectively go blind. the other study found that people who drank at least two sugar sweetened soft drinks a day had a higher risk of death from digestive diseases. those who drank artificially

sweetened have increased death from diseases that affect the circulatory system. both had increased risk of death from parkinson's. this is alarming. registered dietitian is here with when to worry and how to break bad habits. this is really surprising. thank you for being here. >> my pleasure. >> i don't think people realize they are addicted when they are drinking soda after soda every day. how do you break that habit? >> it's an interesting question. i have had anecdotally many patients tell me they feel addicted to nonsweetened or sodas, i don't know if it's technically an addiction. how do you stop that? i think by slowly cutting back. if you drink five sodas a day, maybe have three. maybe replacing it, if you like bubbles. the study looked at sugar sweetened beverages, not just sodas. if you like bubbles, i'd rather see 100% fruit juice with

seltzer. you can have green tea, berry tea iced, replace it slowly with things better for you. >> why are sodas bad for your health? >> i think we're looking at an association not a cause and effect. what we have seen through many studies, sugar sweetened benches like sodas increase the risk of obesity, type 2 diabetes, some of these diseases. artificial, nonsweetened, contribute to diseases as well. we're not sure why. they both have citric and phosphoric acid, affect dental health, erode tooth enamel, may be replacing healthier foods in the diet. if you look at the people consuming them, maybe they have a less healthy lifestyle. >> let's talk about this picky eating 17-year-old. it goes beyond picky eating, frees, white bread, sausage, pringles. we reached out to bring else for a comment and have not heard back. the kid went effectively blind. what happened here?

>> that's a very rare scenario. i think the take home message, there's two important take home messages. one is a very poor diet high in processed foods, junk food, fast foods may increase nutrient deficiency possible devastating diseases. going blind is very rare. the second point is when you have a child who is this picky and this quote, unquote, fussy they mentioned in the abstract of the study, i would want to know does he have sensory issues, cognitive issues, what is the root of the problem here? are the parents not paying attention? do they need special help to find out why this child isn't eating? >> how do you know when your child's picky eating habits are actually leading to this kind of eating disorder? >> i think you have to be really careful and observational as you watch your children eat. they get picky, that's really normal. all of a sudden they only eat something pink, a sand itch with, what their fends are eating.

>> my son ate french fries for five years. >> introduce them to healthy foods on a regular basis. have them take part in helping you make foods. bring them to the grocery store with you. be good role models. always have something on the plate they like. you may have to reintroduce a new food 15, 20, 30 times and be patient before your kid tries it. >> don't force it? >> i don't think forcing is ever a good idea. >> i can tell you that. i went through that with my mom. didn't work. active rebellion. >> make it a fun thing, a family thing, say, hey, let's go to the grocery store, pick any produce, any fruit, any vegetable. we'll try having it different ways, roasting, pureeing, making soup. have a fun event. >> broccoli for dinner coming up. >> i eat that now, just mushrooms. it's a psychological thing. thank you very much. country music vince gill has won an incredible 21 grammy

awards but still has to work hard to win over eagles fans when he tours with the rock band? >> i get in front of their crowd and you feel this kind of holding your breath when i'd start singing, like oh, it's not the guy. not the guy i'm used to. after a couple of versus of this and that, i can literally see them go, it's going to be okay. >> ahead he tells us about aetna takes a total approach to your health and wellness

drawer.
