this is the "cbs overnight news." i'm major garrett in washington. thanks so much for staying with us. some of us might be looking forward to a vacation on a beautiful island this summer. but not all islands are equal with it comes to emergency medical care. there is one in the caribbean where if your life is in danger, medical help may not arrive even if an ambulance shows up. david begnaud traveled to a tiny island off puerto rico's main island.

this is the situation for the nearly 1,800 year-round residents and the tourists who help to keep the economy going. so we traveled by boat 17 miles from the main island of puerto rico. after we got word about recent drownings on the island. i want to warn you, some of the video you are about to see may be disturbing. puerto rico's flamenco beach is considered among the world's best, located on the island of culebra, tourists flock here. >> between 500 and 700,000 visitors visit the island every year, and they come to this beach. >> reporter: this attorney represents the family of manny ma of boise, idaho. the 62-year-old ma drown while snorkeling off this beach last december. >> his wife found them floating out in the ocean. he was eventually pronounced dead and unfortunately there

wasn't any way of being able to save his life here at the beach. >> reporter: there's been a grave danger here that the locals know all too well. but the visitors almost never do. if your life is in danger, help is almost nonexistent. when we were there, there was not a single life guard on the beach. we did see this man using a whistle to keep people from going too far out into the surf. he says he's a volunteer, not paid, not trained. he just wants to help. >> i'm thinking that i'm coming to this beautiful beach and i'm going to see a here. i was surprised to see no life guards. >> reporter: while we were there, we met maria and julian from new york city. not only did this beach not have life guards, there was no one employed as a certified paramedic on the island. there is not even a working ambulance stocked with the supplies needed to save your life. before the two of you came here

to visit, did you think for a moment whether or not there was a working ambulance? >> no. i'm stunned right now. >> reporter: we wanted to speak with the mayor to find out what's happening here. just so i understand you clearly, you don't have an ambulance staffed 24 hours a day here, correct? >> correct. >> reporter: that's scary. because -- i mean, your number one industry here is tourism. he's been the mayor here for a little bit more than a year. and he says he's trying to change things, but the high cost of living on the island and the lack of certified personnel is professionals. >> paramedics, doctor, technical emergency, i need those people to come to work in culebra. while the mayor waits for the right people, he is taking steps

to make the beach safer. installing bilingual signs, red flags and a life guard stand. what do you think about that? >> well, that's progress, that's great. i am very happy that the island is eventually taking steps so that these types of accidents don't happen again. my client's accident was not the only accident that has occurred here. >> reporter: back in february of this year this person, her husband and their kids traveled from toronto to culebra for a vacation. that is when the unthinkable happened. onlookers called 9-1-1 as good samaritans administered cpr to the 40-year-old father of three who they dragged out of the water. witnesses say it took at least 30 minutes for an ambulance just to show up. >> they are just two drivers basically. >> reporter: so this is essentially like a taxi? >> yep. basically a taxi that says

"ambulance." >> reporter: wow. do you feel like they did anything to try and save your husband's life? >> nope. it was just an easy -- i know it's another person for them. it was just easy. sorry, that's all we could do. >> reporter: her husband died. tomorrow, you will hear more from her, and you're going to meet two of the good samaritans who tried to save her husband's life. you'll also hear directly from one of the ambulance drivers who arrived on the scene that day. and you'll hear from him what he did in his own words, and wait until you hear what happens when i said to him, well, in the states we're used to this, what about here? it's a reaction you won't want to miss tomorrow on "cbs mornings." david begnaud, cbs news, new

hi, i'm denise. i've lost over 22 pounds with golo in six months and i've kept it off for over a year. i was skeptical about golo in the beginning because i've tried so many different types

(soft music) as many across the globe face record-high temperatures, new research shows the world's forests help cool the planet by about two degrees. and that's a lot in global terms. ben tracy visited a unique research site in northern minnesota earlier this year where scientists are learning more about these potentially planet-saving ecosystems. ♪ >> reporter: in the forests of northern minnesota where winter often overstays its welcome,

hidden among the trees is something rather unusual. ♪ this is the marselle experimental forest. but you could just as easily call it a climate change time machine. >> i mean, this is such a unique place to come to work. it's incredible. each one of these has given you a manipulation of what the future may behold. >> reporter: david weston is a senior scientist at oak ridge national laboratory. he and more than 100 other researchers come here to study how different degrees of global warming might impact the world's northern forests. >> i noticed above the door on the way in here, it says "welcome to a warmer future." that seems kind of ominous. >> it's giving us some idea of how far we can push the system and how resilient the system may be. it's absolutely amazing to have a future scenario that you can measure right now today. >> reporter: they pump heat and carbon dioxide into these chambers. the temperature s n wming all t

way up to a frightening 9 degrees celsius, or more than 16 degrees farenheit. >> that's pretty extreme. >> it is extreme. so this is the upper end of what we're trying to simulate. >> reporter: and so at this level of warming, clearly this doesn't react very well? >> nope. we're not doing very well here. these hexagon-shaped chambers are open to the sky. each one is more than 30 feet tall, 40 feet wide, and there are ten of them here on this massive seven-acre site. each one providing a different glimpse into the future. and it's not just any forest they're studying. it's what's known as the boreal forest, the world's largest forest system, it wraps around the upper third of the earth from north america through scandinavia and much of russia, like some sort of planetary headband. >> the hair or the bald spot exposed on the top, and then you

have this band that extends around the forehead or the more curved places on the globe. >> reporter: stephen is a researcher with the national forest service. he says the boreal includes several species of trees and crucial mossy peatland that play a great role by sequestering planet-warming carbon dioxide. >> these are only 3% of the land's surface area of the planet but they hold a third to half of the global soil pull. >> reporter: what they're discovering inside these chambers is that the hotter the planet gets, the boreal forest ecosystem dries out. the critical peatmoss is eaten up by bacteria and replaced by shrubs. that carbon once captured in the ground is released into the atmosphere. accelerating the devastating impacts of climate change. >> every single year has led to loss of carbon from these ecosystems. that's the crisis that we face. it's taking carbon from a solid

form in a stable form stored in these peatlands to being ainphee reporter: and the real-world impacts are already painful clear. these drier northern forests are now more prone to wildfires, record-breaking blazes tore through the forests of siberia in the past two years, spewing record amounts of carbon dioxide into the sky. scientists say we need to quickly reduce our planet-warming emissions before these forests reach a tipping point, potentially even rapidly in a so-called carbon bomb. >> in some ways this place is kind of a giant warning to humans about the future. >> maybe it gives us a reason to act, right? i'm a bit of an optimist, but why roll the dice? let's solve the problem now. ♪ >> because the dire future

foretold here in this forest is one we can still change. i'm ben tracy in northern minnesota. an american food invasion is taking over the united kingdom, from fast food restaurants to mom and pop shops, the flavors of the states are spreading across the pond. and ian lee reports from londonx joint started as a craving, a desire for good-old comfort food. >> there's a little bit of mexican food and some of it's good. there's not a single tex-mex restaurant anywhere. that was not something i was ready to accept for someone who's lived in texas their whole life. >> reporter: they moved to london for other jobs. but when they couldn't find that certain taste of home, they opened the grande or big d as in dallas in 2020. >> we would have texans during the height of the pandemic times that would come to the restaurant. literally there would be people

crying as they ate queso because they haven't been able to get home. >> obviously crying about queso is a little bit of an overreaction. but it was touching. there was definitely some kind of educating about what this is that had to happen. tex-mex isn't mexican food. e buffet of american is par restaurants popping up across the uk. from fast food joints like popeyes and wendy's with plans to open hundreds of new locations to mom and pop shops. introducing something new and unique can still be a bit tricky. >> how do you introduce people who've never had queso to queso? >> sometimes they don't order it so we bring them a sample anyways. and then they usually love it because it's good. >> reporter: the hallmark of a good place, repeat customers. >> i love tacos. i love this place. we live in the area, so, yeah, i'm going to keep coming back. and here's my guac.
