the brain due to a stroke, als, or ms. eventually, it could also help people injured in car crashes or on the battlefield. chief medical correspondent jon lapook shows us how it works. >> reporter: at his home in melbourne, australia, 62-year-old philip o'keefe struggles to do the simple things many of us take for granted. >> getting dressed, washing myself, cleaning my teeth, feeding myself, all thoseeevere >> reporter: als took away his ability to control his hands and body. when you heard that there was a device that could use your thoughts to operate a mouse, what did you think? >> i laughed. i thought this is science fiction type stuff. >> reporter: but it's n realm of science fiction anymore. in april of 2020, o'keefe became one of the first patients to receive a stentrode brain computer interface implant.

>> this is the stentrode. that's the device that goes inside the blood vessel. >> reporter: dr. tom oxley of synchron leads the development of the device. >> we've figured out how to deliver the sensors into the brain without open brain surgery. that's the huge advance here. >> reporter: inserted through the jugular vein, the device is implanted in the area of the brain that controls movement. signals captured by a receiver in the chest are sent wirelessly to a device that decodes thoughts into commands for a digital device. >> the clinical study that we're running is purely for digital device control, for people whose hands no longer control digital devices. >> reporter: o'keefe demonstrated his computer skills by writing me this note. his thoughts focused on a mouse clicking letter by letter. the technology has the potential to help a range of patients whose bodies are unable to receive messages from the brain. >> number one, i want to thank

you. i can send my emails. i can surf the web. i can do most things that you can do with your hands. you regain your independence. >> can you imagine a time in our future when we can beam how we are feeling to somebody else? >> yes, i do think that brain computer interfaces eventually go into that realm, but that's a long way away. >> reporter: clinical trials are continuing, and so far five people have received the implant, including one in new york city. >> this gave me a reason to keep on liveing. what's the point, but now i'm involved in, and it's just been the most exciting two years of my life. >> reporter: and that to philip o'keefe is mind-boggling. i'm dr. jon lapook. from the world of high-tech medical research to the realm of

low tech environmental preservation, scientists are turning to an unusual ally in the fight to limit the effects of climate change, the beaver. yes, the beaver. the largest rodent in north america is apparently a great steward of its ecosystem.nathan enlisting beavers to create landscapes that are resistant to fire and drought. >> reporter: in the drought-stricken american west, an animal long considered a pest is now in demand. >> beavers are largely nocturnal animals, meaning they're most active at night. it's very rare to see them so close. >> you ready to go? >> okay, let's do it. >> reporter: we hiked down a rugged hillside with scientists. >> he is a heavy guy. >> reporter: and a 90-pound trapped beaver to take him to his new home. >> well, what we're hoping for is a place with deep water. our hope is that they start building dams.

>> reporter: it's the latest chapter for a species that's been desired and despised. for centuries, the nation's largest rodent was a fashion staple. >> new in hats for winter. >> reporter: coveted for its fur. >> and of course the old reliable beaver. >> reporter: they were nearly hunted to extinction by 1900, until they went out of style and the mammal's population rebounded. but soon they became a headache for landowners who didn't appreciate the flooding their dams caused. they were trapped and killed. the lucky ones were relocated, flown and parachuted into remote terrain. >> and a most unusual and novel trip ends for mr. beaver. >> reporter: but as mega wire cli ge hav riproug west, researchers made an incredible discovery in the ashes. a beaver dam created an oasis that survived the flames.

a lot does go into recharging the groundwater. that's what we use for our food. that's what we use or our lawns. a lot of the water in california is not from snow melt, it's from the groundwater. and these beavers are recharging it for us. so they're sort of depositing water into the bank that we take out at a later date. >> reporter: the rest's historic drought and fairfax's research has led to a reckoning for farmers and landowners. beavers can be good. but with so many of them removed from the landscape, reintroducing them now requires help from humans. >> we're here in utah just outside of salt lake city, and this morning we're building a beaver dam. >> reporter: volunteers are now building starter dams, what's known in the industry as beaver dam analogs. the owner of this ranch heard about the new program and wanted in. nick ballest is a lead on the project. why do beavers need human help to build a dam? >> well, a lot of times if it's too shallow, they're just kind of like walking hot dogs for

predators. they need deep water to swim. they're very graceful in deeper water. so beavers, what they do is they get in here, and they just scoop the mud up. and they come and like grab a whole bunch, push with their chest and hands and work it in all the crevices. >> this is very similar to what a beaver would naturally do? >> i would get on my belly and push it in, but i don't want to get that wet. >> reporter: it's amazing all the steps that we have to do to help out something that should be a natural process. >> reporter: but the most challenging step is finding the right candidates for release. that's where nate norman with utah state university comes in. he traps beavers from land where they're considered nuisances, then takes them back to this beaver lab where he weighs them. >> real minor little knot. >> reporter: chips them for tracking and research, and then

places them in what he calls a beaver bunker, where they wait until their permanent home, the one we've been prepping, is ready. which brings us back to where we began. on this day, we're releasing two beavers. the hope is they'll soon start a colony of their own. more than a thousand analog dams have been successfully resettled with more in the works. >> it's kind of a win-win. we deal with the nuisance problem. at the same time trying to use an animal that is incredibly good at restoring streams, putting them to work. >> reporter: the north american beaver, once just a pest, now a climate change engineer. jonathan vigliotti, colville, utah.

jackson's population, which is more than 80% black, has been under a boil water notice for more than a month. and all jackson public school district students are learning remotely. we have a lot of news to get to tonight, and cbs' elise preston will start us off from jackson. good evening, elise. so how are people holding up? >> reporter: norah, they are trying to make do. but as you can imagine, it is extremely difficult, and there is no timeline for relief. families don't even have clean water the take showers or even brush their teeth. so they're coming here to one of seven new large distribution sites. for residents like sharon dunson, clean tap water is hard to come by. but frustration is in full supply. >> i mean, i don't understand why we should even go through this like this. >> reporter: after nearly a week, many in jackson, mississippi, are still without reliable drinking water. despite crews installing an emergency pump at the city's deteriorating water treatment facility a day ago.

situation that we find ourselves right in. how are we going to make sure that this doesn't happen again and bring in the right resource, the rights experts that are going to define a plan to help repair this critical piece of infrastructure and help the community of jackson, mississippi, get back to where it needs to be. >> more than 80% of jackson's residents are black. has there been a lack of investment in communities of color? and is this the prime example? >> you know, i don't know about the investment there in mississippi, but what i can say is that from fema's standpoint, when we look at natural disasters, we often see communities of color that are disproportionately impacted by disasters. and that's one reason why we have made equity a principle focus for this administration. >> the mayor of jackson, mississippi started warning years ago about that city's water system. why wasn't this fixed before it became a crisis?

>> yeah, i can't speak to the specifics on why it hasn't been fixed in the past. we're bringing in all the right federal resources to understand better what it is we need to do going forward. >> our interview with the fema administrator. now to the weather. out west, a fast-moving wildfire has erupted in a rural area north of los angeles. the root fircost scorching heatwave across the western u.s. and has prompted mandatory evacuations, temporarily closed part of interstate 5, and has burned more than 5,000 acres. all this as tropical storm danielle forms in the atlantic after a slow start to the hurricane season. for more, let's bring in meteorologist chris warren from our partners at the weather channel. good evening, chris. >> good evening, norah. dangerous heat hangs on along much of the west coast. in fact, from the coast to well inland, excessive heat warnings and heat advisories are in effect. coastal temperatures 80s and even lower 90s.

inland, well into the triple-digits. this record heat is possible all the way into early next week. so through the holiday weekend, some potentially dangerous heat. unfortunately, no significant help whatsoever for all the wildfires burning in the west. and today a tropical storm expected to become a hurricane. however, no threat to the east coast. we are watching this, norah, which does look like it will become the next named storm in the atlantic. >> chris, thank you. the "cbs overnight news" will be right back.

our country today is not normal. donald trump and the maga republicans represent an extremism that threatens the very foundations of our republic. maga republicans do not respect the constitution. they do not believe in the rule of law. they do not recognize the will of the people. they refuse to accept the results of a free election, and they're working right now as i speak in state after state to give power to decide elections in america to partisans and cronies, empowering election deniers to undermine democracy itself. they look at the mob that stormed the united states capitol on january 6th, brutally attacking law enforcement not as insurrectionists who placed a dagger at the throat of our democracy, but they look at them as patriots, and they see their maga failure to stop a peaceful transfer of power after the 2020 election as preparation for the

2022 and 2024 elections. i will not stand by and watch. i will not let the will of the american people be overturned by wild conspiracy theories and baseless claims of fraud. i will not stand by and watch elections in this country stolen by people who simply refuse to accept that they lost. >> the "cbs overnight news" will be right back.

revealed the presence of hundreds of documents marked classified in trump's possession and prompted an unprecedented damage assessment by intelligence officials. jay bratt, the head of doj's counterintelligence division argued against the appointment of a special master. he claimed the fbi search was legally sound. trump is no longe the president. and because he is no longer the president, bratt said, he did not have the right to take those documents. the former president continues to maintain that he did nothing wrong when he brought the sensitive materials to florida last year. >> then all of the sudden you're leaving, and packed up and sent all sorts of stuff. mostly the boxes pictures and newspapers and shirts and gear and, you know, golf balls. >> reporter: as federal judge aileen cannon mulls whether to appoint a special master, she has ordered an unsealing of a more detailed list of property taken from mar-a-lago. >> you're going to be able to see what trump had, and that it

was more than just keepsakes and mementos. it was serious national security material. >> reporter: judge cannon said earlier today that she would not make a ruling from the bench, and she has not yet made an announcement about what she will do. for now the intel assessment of the evidence continues as does the investigation of trump's conduct. norah? >> still so much more to learn. robert costa, thank you so much. well, a federal judge here in washington today handed down the longest sentence yet stemming from the january 6th assault on the u.s. capitol. former new york city police officer thomas webster will serve ten years in prison for assaulting police during the riot while wearing his police-issued body armor. one officer testified that he struggled to breathe when webster grabbed his mask, cutting off his oxygen. turning to overseas, a team of investigators reached that embattled nuclear power plant in ukraine today, trying to prevent

he got a teacher's apartment, he couldn't coach cross-country. >> delivering pizzas pays more than coaching in this district. but having subsidized teacher housing, oh, man, it's a godsend, yeah. >> reporter: what's your message to other school districts across the country? >> just do it. everyone will benefit from it. repte mey wl spt? moll spe >>ng ato livin a p ere i el c elli off m should >> mse repter: f eyeameric, fo>. all right. coming up next, there is some coming up next, there is some breaking news on those updated ay yo! check this axe with 48-hour protection! ♪♪ ♪press the button right there♪ ♪to let the doors in♪ ♪go hard all year,♪ smell fresh as fresh, no matter what. this is the gillettelabs with exfoliating bar. the bar in the handle removes unseen dirt and debris
