devastation. >> world war ii veterans, it felt wrong to leave it hanging on the ground. >> joe biden fires b critics about his exit from afghanistan. >> i was not going to extend this forever war and i was not extending a forever exit. >> the cdc is urging people who are not vaccinated against covid to stay home this labor day weekend. >> all that -- >> a dog by the name of storm during a toronto newscast. >> and all that matters. >> and grammy winner ryan tedder opens up about a near nervous breakdown. >> how did you reset? >> i pulled the rip cord and i just thought, this isn't living. >> on "cbs this morning." >> by nba legend michael jordan, up for auction with a starting bid set at $500. an auction for shorts regularly worn by jordan and show signs of, quote, heavy use.

yeah, so if you win them, you might want to air jordan them out for a little bit. >> this morning's eye opener is presented by progressive, making it easy to bundle insurance. >> i don't know. >> heavy use. >> i'm just going to say welcome to cbs. we're glad you're here. >> we are glad you're here. we're going to be in california where crews are in a desperate fight to stop the caldor fire as it races toward heavily populated areas around lake tahoe. the fire has burned more than 300 square miles and destroyed hundreds of homes. around 50,000 people are now under evacuation orders. the flames are now bearing down on the resort city of south lake tahoe, which has not seen danger like this in decades. carter evans is near the flames. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. we are at the front of the fire right now, and as you can see, there is a lot of fuel to burn now. we have seen some extreme fire

behavior this week. flames reaching above the treetops, but the winds are calm right now. that's the good news. the bad news, that red flag warning is in effect throughout today. this is what choking smoke, mas flames, and relentless wind, whipping the caldor fire closer to tens of thousands of homes around lake tahoe. crews spent hours tuesday dousing spot fires, working to save as many homes as possible, and trying to hold back a massive wall of flames. they're facing gusts of more than 35 miles an hour, as the fire continues to move further into the tahoe basin, military aircraft at 18,000 feet above are sending back infrared images like these to guide firefighters to hot spots hidden by the thick smoke. >> very, very sensitive sensors can pick up any signature of heat, we'll plot it and get that down to the firefighter on the ground and they can attack it.

>> you can see the fire taking off in the brush. firefighters are letting it burn while the wind is calm to clear out the fuel between here and the homes just about 100 yards away. >> reporter: snowmaking machines were running full force tuesday night as firefighters moved in to protect the ski resort from flames. these areas haven't seen significant wildfires in more than 80 years. >> this one is really scary. i'm afraid it's going to burn down a jewel of california. >> reporter: even these bears were forced to seek refuge from the flames. fire crews are ready for battle. >> the same winds are coming through. these areas are ridden with strong, heavy fuels that can easily ignite, spread this fire quickly. >> reporter: there is a bulldozer line cut just a few feet in this direction and right behind that is an entire neighborhood that firefighters are trying to protect, trying to

keep the fire from going over that line. there are 4,000 firefighters on this fire right now backed up by 1,000 members of the california national guard. vlad? >> carter, thank you very much. now to the latest on the recovery efforts in louisiana where many people still have no power or water after hurricane ida. this morning, a glimmer of hope. power was restored to some people in eastern new orleans. long lines are forming in the sweltering heat for critical supplies like food and gasoline. rescuers are trying to make contact with people who have not been found. >> our lead national correspondent david begnaud is in laplace, louisiana. good morning. >> reporter: good morning, buddy. let me tell you something, the sunrise is beautiful but the reality on the ground is rough. aside from looking for food and fuel and a place to sleep, the elements are miserable. the bugs are incredible. we saw families sleeping outside their car yesterday and the 6 month old baby was covered in bug bites.

let's take the drone now. if you take a look at where we have the flood light positioned, you can see the floodwater in front of this motel 6 in laplace, louisiana. there was a sheriffs deputy who pulled up a short time ago and told our crew, alligators were displaced in this area and so you need to be careful that you don't run across one. that may sound ridiculous, but at the end of the day, that's part of living in louisiana, especially after a hurricane. amid the devastation is the desperation. crowds and cars lined up for gas in new orleans. >> i've been here since 10:00. that's four and a half hours. >> reporter: this is time lapse video showing a line of people waiting for food hours before the food was even handed out. >> many of the life-supports infrastructure elements are not present. they're not operating right now. >> reporter: it's why the sheriff of saint john the baptist parish keeps getting requests for welfare checks.

>> 77 years old, disabled male. >> reporter: that was a message from a man in new jersey who wanted to know his dad is okay. so the sheriff sent his men to go check and see. >> cajun navy and the national guard has not been able to make contact with him due to debris in the roadway. >> reporter: they went out to check on him. >> how are you doing, sir? >> 77-year-old john moore was home alone with his dog, nixon. >> we're with the sheriff's office. your son is worried about you because he hasn't heard from you. >> i'm worried about me, too. >> would you like us to get you out? all right. >> reporter: they found that moore's house was damaged, no water, no food, no electricity and no fuel in his generator. the officers convinced him it was not safe to stay. >> i tried to be by myself. >> it's okay. >> at 77, it's hard. >> reporter: they help moore, who has parkinson's, to get dressed. before they left, the officer began folding an american flag

that he found on moore's bedroom floor. then they all escorted him to the shelter. >> we have your father. your father is fine. we also have the dog. your father is a little shaken up. just wants to make sure he didn't do anything wrong and he's going to be okay. >> reporter: they decided it was safer for mr. moore to go to the hospital. this is his father's flag. a world war ii veteran. >> reporter: as he sat on the stretcher, they handed him that flag. as mr. moore was taken away, nixon was taken from him because they don't allow dogs at the hospital. >> reporter: the sheriffs team was not going to let nixon be abandon, so the lieutenant personally took nixon to the energy operation center and he hand-delivered him to rachel, the manager of the animal services, and rachel is personally going to look after nixon and make sure he is okay until he can be reunited with

mr. moore. gayle? >> i don't even know where you get these stories from, david. i'm just sitting here thinking about nixon, thinking about mr. moore saying i'm worried about me, too. i'm thinking about how mr. moore just fell into the arms of the soldier or the police official who came to help him. it's so touching on so many levels, but best of all, now the son knows that his dad is okay. >> reporter: i'm so proud to be from louisiana. we have some really good people here. >> you're one of those good people. and please stay away from the gators. that's something i hadn't thought about either. thank you, david begnaud. >> reporter: deal. >> stellar as always. ida is not finished yet, meteorologist and climate specialist jeff berardelli is tracking a major threat for the northeast. good morning to you, i think. >> good morning, gayle. it is a very serious flood threat. the national weather service saying it's a once in 100 year type of event for some towns in

the northeast. so even though ida's winds are gone, the rain is not gone. heaviest stuff in west virginia, that will head toward pennsylvania today and then eventually head toward new york city, dc and philadelphia. there's a tornado threat because ida is merging with a really strong jet stream that will be gone by tomorrow morning, but in it's wake 4 to 8 inches of rain. look at the purple shaded area. a very rare five out of five high risk for flooding across parts of the northeast. 4 to 8 inches of flooding rain is possible on top of 4 to 8 inches above normal. the ground is completely saturated. climate change has made downpours 50% more likely in the northeast. here is the good news, just in time for labor day, this is moving out and the sunshine is moving in. >> that is good news. thank you very much. to washington now, president biden is accused of making serious errors in the hurried evacuation from afghanistan, but he insists the final airlift of americans and afghan allies was

a success. the president repeated his side of the story in a defiant address to the nation yesterday and as weijia jiang reports, mr. biden said this was the right time to end america's longest war. > i was not going to extend this forever war and i was not extending a forever exit. >> reporter: president biden praised the u.s. military for its final mission in afghanistan, calling the airlift of more than 120,000 people an extraordinary success. but more than 100 u.s. citizens are still trying to evacuate, even though the president made this promise two weeks ago. >> if there's american citizens left, we're going to stay until we get them all out. >> reporter: administration officials said since then, growing threats in kabul from isis-k changed the timeline, pointing to a suicide bombing that killed 13 service members last week. president biden also said his decision to leave afghanistan serves another purpose.

>> this decision about afghanistan is not just about afghanistan. it's about ending an era of major military operations to remake other countries. >> reporter: that declaration helps to define president biden's foreign policy agenda. he says the world is changing, so he wants to focus on new threats like competition from china and aggression from russia, like cyberattacks, and its nuclear ambition. vlad? >> thank you very much. the taliban are celebrating the withdraw of american troops and proudly showing off the equipment the u.s. military left behind. the victors still face what could be a bigger challenge in the war. char charlie d'agata is in do har, qatar, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. the taliban says they are close to announcing a new government, just one or two days away now. for a country on the verge of

collapse, it can't come quickly enough. taking over the country was the easy part. now comes the job of running it. like the airport where taliban members holding american weapons bad-mouth outgoing u.s. forces. >> translator: as you can see, these infidels have destroyed the entire airport, he says. we have a team ready to fix this mess. >> it's now a graveyard of u.s. military hardware and bereft of the technical know-how to get a control signal in place, they are relying on turkey to get it back up and running. some afghans tried to get in, taliban guards turned them away. then there's the financial system. there's been a run on t b th peoe tr to chaos some have waited for

days. >> i should build a future, i should study, so definitely if the situations are like that, you should stay for one week just to take $100 from bank. so it's not possible to live here. >> reporter: with many employees now too terrified to return to work, even basic necessities like electricity and water are under threat. the u.n. has already warned of an absolute catastrophe of economic ruin and even famine. yesterday crowds attended a mock funeral held by the taliban, coffins draped in flags of america and coalition allies. but as celebrations subside, the country may soon be facing more funerals of its own. in fact, between the conflict and a widespread drought, the u.n. now warns the country is marching towards starvation and some regions could run out of food within a month. tony? >> charlie d'agata for us, thank

you very much. a search and rescue operation is under way for five missing people after a u.s. navy helicopter crashed in the pacific ocean. navy officials say the chopper went down more than 60 miles off the coast of san diego yesterday. the aircraft and crew from the uss abraham lincoln were conducting a routine operation at the time. at least one crew member has been rescued and the coast guard and navy are taking part in the search. >> one of the districtest abortion laws enacted in the country since roe v. wade takes effect today. it bans abortion after six weeks of pregnancy. opponents say that's where many women even know they're pregnant. it comes over another republican-backed bill that democrats say will limit people's ability to vote. >> gayle, the supreme court did not act overnight on an emergency request to stop the abortion law from going into

effect. opponents warn it would essentially overturn roe v. wade. the law went into effect at midnight. not only does it ban abortions as early as six weeks into pregnancy, it also allows individuals to sue anyone who helps a woman get an abortion and those who are successful in their lawsuit could be awarded at least $10,000. this is happening in a much larger context. state legislators set the record this year for the most abortion restrictions signed in one year since roe v. wade in 1973. meanwhile, the texas state legislature bl.e measure would ban ng set new early voting and provide protections for partisan poll watchers. republicans say it's to strengthen election security. democrats argue it would disproportionately impact voters of color and those with disabilities. they came to washington for more

than a month to try to stop the measure. now as the bill heads to the governor's desk voting rights groups are threatening legal challenges. >> nicwe'll see what happens ah. the new rules in china that spell out how long kids

ahead, dr. david agus shares a new idea to keep international travel open as we fight this pandemic. plus, a look at a "48 hours" special in the murder case against chad daybell and his second wife lori vallow daybell. >> reporter: i'm jonathan vigliotti, "48 hours." he's charged with the murders of tylee and j.j. chad daybell's children speak out together for the first time. >> he was framed. >> reporter: that's coming up on "cbs this morning." you're not welcome here! get out of my face! hpv can cause certain cancers when your child grows up. get in its way.

good morning. it's 7:26. this morning caldor fire evacuation orders are extending in to nevada. it's burned close to 200,000 acres, containment is at just 18% and nearly 35,000 structures in danger. more than 50,000 people are under evacuation orders. and an outbreak of coronavirus has sued lined a strike team of 16 firefighters battling the caldor fire. officials warning other firefighters to follow the agency's coronavirus protocols so that no other crew members have to sit out. as we take a look at the roadway itself are you getting ready to head out and take 880 northbound near highway 92 if you are seeing brake lights on

welcome back to "cbs this morning." a new york judge is expected to decide today whether to approve a bankruptcy settlement from oxycontin maker pharma. the members of the family who own it, the sacklers, have been blamed by some for fueling the opioid crisis. it has been linked to more than half a million deaths nationwide. now under the settlement, the sacklers and purdue would pay billions to states hit hard by opioid addiction. anna werner shows why some people say the settlement does not hold the family to account. good morning to you. they're making movies about this whole situation. >> what a saga. good morning. the sackler family, of course, is worth approximately $11 building with a b.

settlement terms would require the family and purdue pharma to pay out billions and purdue pharma as we know it would be dissolved. for some like tony lagreca who lost his son to opioid addiction, the settlement is sim simply not enough. when's the last time you actually stood foot on the -- >> this is the first time since he died. >> reporter: wow. >> yeah. >> reporter: it's hard for tony lagreca to visit the high school baseball field where his son matthew used to play. these were the good years. when he was a teenager. >> yeah. a teenager. no drugs, nothing. >> reporter: matthew lagreca died from an overdose in 2014. he was 41. he became addicted to opioids in the '90s when he started taking oxycontin after a football injury. his father wants sackler family members to pay far more for selling the drug that he says led to his son's death. >> the sacklers, i don't think they feel the pain. they need to feel the pain that these parents feel. i'm just one parent representing

thousands. >> reporter: the sacklers own oxycontin maker purdue pharma. some members of the family are accused by state attorneys general of intentionally hiding the addictive nature of the drug in an attempt to push sales, an allegation that have long denied. >> what you've heard from the press about the sacklers is almost certainly wrong and highly distorted. >> reporter: under the proposed bankruptcy settlement, the sacklers would pay $4.325 billion over nine years, settling roughly 3,000 lawsuits. individual payouts to victims and their families could range from $3,500 to $48,000. as part of the deal, the sackler family would be granted immunity from any opioid-related lawsuits. 38 states have agreed to the settlement, but ten states have not. new york attorney general leticia james supports the deal. in a july statement, james said, "while this deal is not perfect, it gets one of the nation's most harmf fful drug dealers out of

opioid business once and for all." connecticut attorney general william tong is one of those fighting it. >> as far as i can tell, no sackler will have to sell a boat or a house or a piece of art. >> reporter: what do you think the other ags are not seeing that you're seeing? >> i think a lot of my colleagues know that this process was stacked from beginning. they knew that the sacklers were betting on a broken bankruptcy system that would allow them to use the bankruptcy of the company, purdue pharma, to shield themselves. let's be clear -- the sacklers are not bankrupt. >> reporter: but lagreca says no amount of money can make it right. >> we'll go back to any place where the sackler name is on a build building, in an art museum or laboratory, and put pressure on the company to get the sackler name off the building. >> reporter: what is your goal with that? >> the goal is to just demonize the sackler family and just make sure if anybody's last name is sackler that people across the

country will always remember what that means and what it stands for. >> reporter: so you've come here how many times ak w? ter:vits the grave every few days. on the headstone, matthew's picture andhi walking into a su. >> i also bought three other plots. i'm going to be buried next to him. >> reporter: you'll be with him. >> that's the plan. >> while we were at the cemetery, lagreca pointed out other graves to us. they were all matthew's classmates, he says they also died from overdoses. members of the sack larry family on purdue's board have resigned in recent years. a family representative deny the request for comment at this time. purdue pharma also had no comment. he told us when we were there that there were several players from his high school and a cheerleader all buried in the cemetery from opioid overdose -- >> you hear $4.3 billion, that's

a big number, but $48,000 per family, per victim in that's not a big for when you think about lawsuits. and then also what this doesn't include that's true lliley pric is an acknowledgment of guilt on back of the sacklers. >> and a lot of rage. they want an apology. like tony lagreca he said it's his mission to go after the sacklers. >> i believe he will not stop until he does that. i do feel for the other people whose name is sackler that had information to do with this when he says i'm going to demonize the name. the sacklers insist they did nothing wrong. the numbers show otherwise, though. >> mr. lagreca going to the baseball field where his son used to play and saying -- teenager when he was happy, no drugs, that's just absolutely heartbreaking. >> first time he's been back since his son died. hard to go there. >> thank you so much. we appreciate it. ahead, travelers face new pressures from europe because of covid. dr. david agus shows one way to

this week the european union removed the united states from its safe travel list, recommending that so-called nonessential american visitors, tourists basically, be

vaccinated, tested, or quarantined. in this morning's "new york times," our dr. david agus along with former british prime minister tony blair and oxford university vaccine expert sir john bell lay out the case for a, quote, global data-driven system on vaccines to make international travel easier. dr. agus, a cbs news medical contributor, joins us now from l.a. good morning. so this is a global system to basically open up borders with mutual work with vaccines. do we have that right? >> we certainly need to do that, but it needs to go a step further in that not every vaccine works against every variant. the data change all the time. you may have a vaccine that works now, but without a booster, you're not protected against getting a variant and potentially spreading a variant. the qr code obviously is critical, as we see on the screen now. but the problem is is that we need to look at the data in the

real world with every vaccine. there are vaccines that are not approved in the united states that are being used across the globe. and so we need to look at them and say, hey, this vaccine is okay to thenited you know, the state ofs- this i vaccine card. this is not high tech. >> yeah. but you know, the data will give us information about vaccine effectiveness. but comfort level in different countries love with they want to let in and what feels safe is going to vary. how do you get countries on the same page with this uniform system? >> great question, tony. we need to rise above nationalism here. and so there's a meeting of the g20, the largest economies of the world, this week and the health ministers. and what we're proposing is that it is a national -- international standard. so every country agrees which are the vaccines that are working at the present time. and if you have these vaccines, you can go into countries with x

sort of restrictions. right now it's changing all the time. it's confusing, and it's very political. i don't want a vaccine from russia. i don't want a vaccine from china. they need to be data driven. >> you know, david, a lot of us feel that the vaccine is our superpower. but now that you can still get covid even when you have the vaccine, what insurance do you have that even if you've gotten the vaccine it's safe for you to travel? >> you know, right now you're right, there are breakthrough cases. the breakthrough cases i think are still evident the vaccines work because you're not being hospitalized and getting seriously ill. you certainly need testing together with vaccines in many places with delta variant ongoing. we're going to get ups and downs over the next year or so as new variants come. with each we have to look the vaccine and see if they can transmit the virus or can't they. the rules have to follow appropriately. >> by the way, this comes back to jobs, jobs, jobs. about one in ten jobs globally are tied to tourism,

joan young says she barely survived, riding out the storm in her bedroom, as the ceiling came down. >> it came down and hit me on the back of my neck. >> reporter: at 62, she's been through several hurricanes but this has done the most damage. the storm wiped away her precious family photos. >> i cry. it hurts. it hurts to my heart. >> reporter: almost every room has water damage, she has no electricity and her food is spoiled. but instead of evacuating and heading to a local shelter, she's staying put, nervous about being in a confined space with no air conditioning amid a surge in covid-19 cases. there are only 41 shelters in the whole state. at over 2,000 people are staying in them.

bodies found buried in your father's backyard? >> i don't know. but i do know that if he were to commit a crime, he wouldn't be foolish enough to put the evidence in his own backyard. >> nor wad one-time professional grave digger had dug such shallow, crude graves, says seth. >> he knew how to dig graves and that just doesn't sound believable to me. >> but investigative reporter and net kncbs news consultant s that doesn't hold up. >> saying someone's prior experience as a grave digger means they wouldn't slopally bury somebody, discounts all the psychological pressure that might be effecting somebody trying to get rid of bodies. >> this is where tily's body was found back here. >> reporter: she showed us

another reason why she doesn't think her father would have buried them here. >> you can look around for miles and miles. >> reporter: their property is surrounded by plenty of places to hide a body. >> there's lands down there that no one would ever touch. >> reporter: what do you say to the people still very skeptical? >> it might seem like a convenient excuse but if it's the truth, we have to hold to it. >> reporter: she believes the children were put in her father's yard on purpose. it all goes back to this woman, says emma, her father's new wife, lori daybell. >> i think he was fooled in the wurgs, most deadly way possible. >> i guess it's possible chad was framed. this is either the least lucky person in the world or this is murder. >> boy, jonathan joins us now. this is a very compelling story.

who do they say framed their dad? >> they think lori, together with her brother, who she called her protector, may have conspired together to frame the father. many people say it's convenient to point fingers at a dead man who can't talk. meanwhile, for lori, she'sinate yet entered a plea because she's been found incompetent to stand trial. proceedings against her have been held in recess at this point. >> why would they want them dead? >> there are several theories. lori is charged with conspiring to murder her former husband. we know tily was in the house that morning. some say she may have seen it and been a liability.

some others think her deluded religious believes were to blame. one friend told us she believed it was her job to rid the world of zombies and dark spirits and others heard her describing them as having dark spirits. >> and chad daybell is also charged with murdering the first wife, who is the mother of the children you interviewed. i'm curious what they have to say about that and what you know about the case. >> tammy was only 49 when she died suddenly in her sleep. then chad married lori. his five children never eeven knew the kids existed. they found out when we did. and garth says authorities told him tammy had died of asphyxiation. he wasn't shown the autopsy but

sideline. yes, we have made great progress. we have recovered 16.7 million jobs that were lost during the pandemic, but that means there were 5.7 million fewer jobs that are available. and the reasons people cite for why they remain on the sidelines are what we heard in that piece. we have child care issues that are really difficult to juggle. there are people who live with imm immunocompromised folks in their homes so they have health problems, and maybe it's this idea that the people who employed you are still in flux. so you put it together, and there is still a mismatch, as you noted. >> i heard people were not going back to work because they were collecting unemployment and they could sit on their couch and

reap the rewards. is that true? >> that money did what it was supposed to do. we wanted people to stay at home and stay safe. there is some worry that went on too long. we do have some information from the left-leaning economic policy institute, and they did a look at what happened to employment in states from april through the last month where we had data, which is july. they found the states that maintained federal benefits, those extra benefits, actually saw more job growth than the 26 states that ended those benefits early. so, again, not all data in, but that is an early indication that the unemployment benefits did not have a big role in this. >> very interesting. so the federal unemployment benefits are set to end this month. what should people who had been receiving them do in their absence? >> well, this is such a terrible gut check moment. what i'm hopeful about when i

talk to policymakers, they, too, feel this. when schools go back in session, as more people get vaccinated, as the variant starts to slow down, that we're going to have to have people go back to work and look for jobs. but look, it's a gut check moment. if you are losing those benefits, you're going to have to pound the pavement or pound the computer screen and go look for one of those job openings. you may have to take a job you don't like, but you've got to get money in the door, and that's most important for these families. >> yeah, it sure is. jill, thank you very much. tomorrow we continue our "the work shift" series. i'll look at the fallout of so many workers being away from their offices. >> this is pre-covid, business booming, big cart. this is now. >> now. something is empty. >> a dry cleaner who is not dry cleaning much office attire these days. find out why working remotely is
