york. thanks for staying with us. labor day weekend is fast approaching, and for many of us it's the last chance to enjoy the warm rays of summer before heading back to work or school. and as millions of americans look forward to that last beach effort before it's too late there can also be danger in the surf. powerful rip currents claimed the lives of a dozen people in florida in june alone, and meteorologists say they can continue into the fall. christian benavidez reports. >> headquarters radio check. >> reporter: for millions of americans summer means hitting the beach. and if you're doing so in deerfield beach, florida you'll likely find ocean rescue captain mike brown at one of the city's lifeguard towers. >> when we enter the water, we're going as hard and as fast as we can. >> reporter: he's personally handled countless rescues. more often than not it's when an unsuspecting beachgoer gets caught in a rip current. >> rip currents account for over 80% of rescues performed by surf lfeguards nationwide. >> reporter: rip currents do not
3:42 am
pull people underwater but rather away from shore and can pull you out hundreds of yards. >> these currents can move pretty quickly, faster than even like an olympic swim jer. >> reporter: the international weather service says never assume it's safe to swim just because it's nice outside like today. rip currents often form in calm, sunny days. experts say resist the urge to fight the rip current. instead swim out of the current in a direction following the shoreline or towards breaking waves. draw attention to yourself if you're unable to reach the shore. but most importantly, swim where there are lifeguards present. the chance of death by drowning at a beach protected by lifeguards is 1 in 18 million. >> it's a stressful situation initially because someone is in trouble, but you're trained to do your job, remain calm. >> reporter: you can also spot rip currents out in the water. look out for a difference in water color, a channel of churning, choppy water, or a line of foam, seaweed or debris
3:43 am
moving toward the sea. christian benavidez, cbs news, deerfield beach, florida. the final weeks of august also mark the end of the summer travel season. millions of tourists will be returning from vacations in europe, and for many europeans that can't come soon enough. chris livesay explains. >> reporter: in 1960 it was felony's "la dolce vitae" making an elegant splash in rome's trevi fountain. >> come here. >> reporter: in 2023 it's this woman. scaling the baroque masterpiece to fill up her water bottle before police escorted her away. of the roughly 1,000 tourists who visit the trevi fountain every hour there are bound to be a few bad apples. but this year they seem to be everywhere across the city, the country, and around europe. this british tourist is using a key to carve his and his girlfriend's name into the coliseum. >> are you serious, man?
3:44 am
>> reporter: to the shock of onlookers. in venice another british tourist defies warnings before jumping from five stories high to belly flopping into a canal. to keep tourists away locals in spain have taken to posting signs like these at the beach, warning of fake dangers like falling rocks and jellyfish. tourists aren't just behaving badly. there's a lot more of them. there are 55% more from the u.s. alone compared to last summer. now it's time for governments to crack down, says italy's tourism minister daniel santanche. "these tourists are also vandals because they have no respect for our cultural heritage, which belongs not just to italy but to the whole world," she says. "we've introduced a bill with a very simple concept. you break it, you pay for it." but for now the mass influx of tourists is making life unlivable for locals, says lucreza miseri, a ph.d. student in rome. as a proud roman how does it
3:45 am
make you feel when you see tourists vandalize your city? >> i feel immense rage because rome is really ancient and you cannot just come and do whatever you want. >> reporter: chris livesay, rome. turning now to ukraine, where denmark and the netherlands announced they will be sending 19 u.s.-made f-16 fighter jets to the conflict. ukrainian pilots will begin training in the warplanes next monh. but the jets are not expected to join the fight until early next year. well, cbs news has been on the ground in ukraine since the start of the war alongside journalists from around the world. that includes an award winning photographer whose images are capturing the heartache of his own homeland. ramy inocencio has more. >> reporter: homes shattered by a russian missile. roads littered with the machines o war. children who have learned loss. how many photos do you think you've taken? >> i cannot even tell you the number. >> reporter: tens of thousands?
3:46 am
>> no. >> reporter: more? >> much more. much more. >> reporter: hundreds of thousands? >> i assume, yes. >> reporter: wow. roman pilipi is an award-winning ukrainian photographer and friend, capturing russia's invasion of his country. you have seen his work. in the world's biggest papers and websites. but you may not have known it. photos of farewells, snapshots of sadness. we first met living and working in china before covid. >> i couldn't imagine that at that time we're going to sit in ukraine in a war country in my country. >> reporter: when this war started, he says there was no question he had to come back. the first ukrainians he photographed, in poland at warsaw's packed train station. the first refugees of more than 6 million now. >> for them it was like trip to nowhere. they all were on bags not knowing what's going to happen
3:47 am
to them next. >> reporter: then he boarded that train they arrived in on and set to work. >> basically the train back to kyiv was empty. just some men. they were coming back from their comfortable life in europe to -- yeah, to fight for their country. >> reporter: in the country the war broke families apart. as men stayed to fight. >> in this photo oleg passes to yana, to his wife, their son maxim through the -- over the fence so that she can take a train. this photo represent to me ukrainian families now. >> reporter: and many had to say good-bye forever. publicly and privately. this lone soldier, jaroslav, mourning his father at a crematorium moments before the fire. >> no other people. no wife. no mother of jaroslav. no other relatives. >> reporter: after russia's month-long occupation of bucha,
3:48 am
a city now synonymous with massacre, pilipi took his most memorable photo, which went on to be a 2023 picture of the year international finalist. >> this is vladislava, and on the left it's her sister. so they're both of them two bucha residents. they didn't see each other during the occupation because they were living in different sides of the town. and they didn't know what happened to each other. that's the moment where they met each other for the first time. >> reporter: in other images even for a few minutes happiness is scene. here with a serviceman and his new bride. >> they need to keep living. so they try to have joy, to enjoy their life, but at the same time they don't forget what's going on in the country. when people are happy, i'm happy with them. but there's sad moments.
3:49 am
yeah. you feel all of the pain. >> how long do you think you'll stay in uk sfraine? >> till the end of the war. till russians leave ukraine. >> reporter: to document history, to remember all those lost, and to capture humanity at its worst and at its best. its worst and at its best. ramy inocencio, kyiv, ukraine. your bug s spray shoululd tae out bugsgs, not keep o out people.e. unlilike other sprays that s stick arounund, zevo g goes from k kill to clean i in just sececonds, plplus it's sasafe for usee arouound people e and pets.. zezevo. peoplele-friendly.. bug-g-deadly. hey, i just got a text from my sister. you remember rick, her neighbor? sure, he's the 76-year-old guy who still runs marathons, right? sadly, not anymore.

an ancient japanese art form is finding new life in modern tokyo. lucy craft shows us how. >> reporter: no matter how broken the pottery, tsuy tsuyoshi kuishihara says there's nothing he can't fix. after 40 years and nearly 10,000 pieces restored, pottery repairman doesn't really do him justice. reassembling a tiny sake cup like a 3-d jigsaw puzzle, the kyoto artisan is an expert in kintsugi, the ancient technique for making shattered dishes whole again. kintsugi, literally gold and joint, or patch, highlights breaks, chips, and other flaws instead of hiding them. priceless tea bowls and cheap crockery alike become sublime mementos of personal history. he says "originally kintsugi
3:53 am
allowed a samurai to show contrition for breaking his lord's pottery. to prove the mishap was accidental, not an act of rebellion, simply gluing pottery back together wouldn't do." in a post-samurai time-scarfed era superglue is koishihara's go-to adhesive. meticulously dropped into hairline cracks to hold shards in place. lacquer is painted onto the spidery breaks, serving as base coat for the crowning touch, a sprinkling of gold dust that makes seams pop. this is not good as new but new and improved. collectors use kintsugi to preserve the monetary value of exquisite pieces. but most of koishihara's work is fixing beloved but everyday items. "a cup is not just a cup," he says. "it represents moments of your life. who you shared meals with. who you drank tea with. it's a storehouse of memories."
3:54 am
kintsugi reflects an old japanese aesthetic, which celebrates and finds beauty in imperfection. but in recent years a new generation of japanese is rediscovering and reinterreting a once obscure repair technique. in a tokyo workshop artist chimoni komoshta teaches students how to make debris into kintsugi mashup ornaments. >> you're a potter who specializes in broken pottery. how did that happen? "in every batch of pottery out of the kiln there are always a few rejects," she says. "i wanted to selvage them." so now her lemons get a new life with a graft of ceramic or glass like patches on a pair of jeans, a technique known as yobitsugi. with its optimistic message of recovery, kintsugi has taken on a life of its own far from
3:55 am
japan. there are kintsugi branded sneakers, cigars and perfume. a kintsugi-inspired "star wars" helmet. not to mention pop songs and self-help tips about bouncing back from adversity or even healing political partisanship. around the world kintsugi is having a moment right now. why do you think this idea resonates with people? "it's not just about broken dishes," she says. "life involves getting hurt, but being wounded is a chance to create something completely new. a profound life lesson for us all. dama
