the crash killed all ten people on board. the cause of the wreck is still unknown, but most analysts say that it was likely an assassination ordered by vladimir putin. david martin reports. >> reporter: when the plane carrying yevgeny prigozhin fell out of the sky wednesday, no one doubted for a moment vladimir putin was behind it. cia director bill burns had predicted as much weeks ago. >> putin is the ultimate apostle of payback. so i would be surprised if prigozhin escapes further res rib yoougs for this. >> when prigozhin rode away a free man after leading a short-lived mutiny against the russian military, burns knew it was only a matter of time. >> putin is someone who generally thinks that revenge is a dish best served cold. >> reporter: putin runs russia like the godfather of a crime family. littering the landscape with violent deaths, mist illnesses,

and dubious suicides. more than two dozen by u.s. count. >> translator: my son died yesterday. and he was killed by a little tiny nuclear bomb. >> reporter: alexander litvinenko, a former russian spy who had defected to england, died in 2006 after drinking tea poisoned with a radioactive substance called polonium. it took ten years for investigators to trace it to russian intelligence agents. >> the conclusion that the russian state was probably involved in the murder of mr. litvinenko is deeply disturbing p. >> reporter: trheresa may was british secretary then. she was prime minister when it happened again in 2018. another defector, sergei skripal and his daughter, were nearly killed by nerve agent while sitting on a park bench. once again the trail led back to moscow. >> it is now clear that mr.

skripal and his daughter were poisoned with a military-grade nerve agent of a type developed by russia. >> reporter: what does it take to get on putin's hit list? >> he's got a very low tolerance level. if you cross putin, the likelihood is you're going to die. >> reporter: leon panetta was director of the cia and secretary of defense in the obama administration. >> one way or another, he ult ultimately takes care of the problem. whether it's an open window or whether it's poisonings or whether it's some kind of gunshot in the middle of the night. >> reporter: one of his most vocal critics alexei navalny is in prison now. but before that he nearly died after being poisoned by the same nerve agent putin's spies had used in england. does he really care whether the finger of suspicon points at him? >> in some ways i think deep down he takes pride in the fact

american farmers have a problem. the equipment they use to plant their fields and harvest can sometimes break down. and a lot of times they're not able or even permitted to make repairs. even on equipment they own. well, that's changing. and barry petersen reports on a movement called the right to repair. >> reporter: on a hot eastern colorado day the wood family farms the land that three generations ago they used horses to plow. high-tech wizardry means the planter puts every seed at the perfect depth and never plants the same row twice. but if the software glitches and the equipment shuts down, only a dealer's repairman has the codes to diagnose the problem. without access giving them a chance to fix it themselves a farmer can wait days, even weeks for a service call, says farmer

danny wood. >> when you're planting, you're h harvesting, you're driving a tractor like this and it stops and it takes you three days, five days, ten days to get service, what does that mean to a farmer? >> well, that means you could lose your whole crop. because like today there's some clouds building up. it could turn into a severe storm. it could come in and wipe out your whole crop, hail it off, and then you have no income for the year from that crop. >> reporter: danny wood was in fourth grade when he started helping his dad farm this land. he trained as a mechanic, then took over the farm. then took on a cause called farmer's right to repair and testified for a law to give farmers the right to fix their own equipment. that's him with his tractor as a backdrop as colorado governor jared polis signed america's first farmer's right to repair law so manufacturers must sell have to farmers or independent repair shops so they can access

diagnostic codes. >> farmers around the country are very supportive of this idea of the farmer's right to repair. tell me why it has such resonance with farmers. >> because we are independent. we like to be able to do our things on our time, our schedule, and we like to be able to make our things run without being reliant on somebody else to do that. farmers are not people that like to rely on others. >> reporter: we asked john deere, america's foremost fafrm equipment manufacturer, some of whose colorado dealers opposed the farmer's right to repair law for an interview. they declined and instead sent an e-mail saying "john deere supports the customer's decision to repair their own products, utilize an independent repair service or have repairs completed by an authorized dealer." john deere additionally provides manuals, parts, and diagnostic tools to facilitate maintenance and repairs." it's not a new issue.

almost 100 years ago j.d. fourny developed an early form of right to repair. a portable welder so armers could fix their own plows and early tractors. like the tractors features at denver's fournee museum of transportation where we met state representative brianna tatone. so really when you look back at history and what farmers work with in tractors they pretty much were always fending for themselves. >> absolutely. >> reporter: she represents a mostly suburban denver district and got a right to repair bill passed for wheelchairs, then forefarm equipment, all part of what she sees as a much bigger issue. >> it comes down to a lot of the environmental issues around the consumer products that are just thrown away. the planned obsolescence of this electronic equipment that goes into the trash heap. >> reporter: her idea is really going back to thee future, when tvs to toasters were repaired,

not thrown away. now right to repair laws are in effect for products from tractors to appliances to digital devices in four states. and debate is under way in two dozen more states pushed in a campaign by the u.s. public interest research group leded b nathan procter. >> we estimated in a report that we did called repair saves families big that if consumers would repair instead of replace their electronics they could save $382 on average per household. which equals about $50 b billio peper year when averaraged acro all the hohouseholds i in a ame. so this is big money. >> reporter: it's not just saving money but saving our plan el planet because the world's hunger for things like cell phones and electric car batteries means massive mining and production of rare minerals. in places like china's inner mongolia, that production has

crcreated whole lakes of toxic waste. to helelp we cacan f fix or updr cell phones instead of replacing them with the latest new model. >> because manufacturing cell phones takes so much energy and so many materials, if americans use their cell phones for one year longer on average we'd have the same benefits for the climate as taking 636,000 cars off the road. which is about the number of registered vehicles in the state of new mexico. >> so realally, if i want to do something to help the environment it's as easy as waiting a year to trade in my cell phone. >> yeah. >> reporter: danny wood is helping the environment by keeping his older equipment running. >> a farmer who knows how to fix his own equipment is -- >> independent. >> what does that mean? >> that means that i don't have to rely on somebody else, i can make my own stuff run. >> and you save how much a year?

>> oh, i'm sure 40, 50 thousand. >> the return of what was once every farmer's way to save money on repairs. do it yourself. barry petersen, pets, colorado. the bison is an icon of the american west. but by the end of the 1800s it was all but extinct. adam yamaguchi reports on the effort to reintroduce the majestic animal to native american lands. >> repeporter: att the forprpik indidian refererence in montana abison calalf is s the newesestr ofof the herds t to roam thihis for momore thahan a centntury. > my generatation neverer go grow upp araround buffalalo. now my chihildren andnd grgrandchildreren are able to witness s them beingng on our hohomeland. >> reporteter: rabbibie magnan manageges the forort peckk reservatioion's fishh and game departmement overseeieing a b b heherd starteded m more than 20 ago thatt h has now grorown to . >> shehe's ready t to moveve. >> that was fast.

>> i've never walked across the panama canal. >> yeah, it's an experience. >> reporter: he says 2/3 of canal traffic is either coming from or going to the united states. but that flow of goods is now at risk because this 50-mile-long system of locks and lakes that connects two oceans is actually above sea level and doesn't run on ocean water. >> no. it's fresh water. from our lake, gatun lake, that's manmade. >> so you are reliant on rainfall. >> yes. but this year has been an unprecedented dry season. our lake levels are close to the minimum. >> reporter: severe drought is drying up the lakes that feed the canal, plunging water levels so low they've had to cut the number of vessels passing through from 36 to 32 per day. delaying goods and creating a growing waiting room of ships out at sea. some vessels are also being forced to carry up to 40% less

cargo and slow down so they don't hit bottom. >> the panama canal uses about 2 2 1/2 times s the amountnt of a city thehe size of n new york uses.. every day. >> every day. wow. >> reporter: moving a single ship through the locks takes 55 to 125 million gallons of water. much of that is flushed into the ocean. but the canal authority is now trying to store and reuse as much of it as possible because the lakes feeding the canal are also the main source of drinking water for nearby panama city. how concerned are you about the long-term viability of the panama canal? >> that is my main concern. we are climate dependent. so this issue of climate change to us is real. >> reporter: climate change is making the tropics hotter and dry spells longer. >> for us it's very, very concerning. >> reporter: antonio dominguez is a managing director for shipping giant maersk. he's worried christmas merchandise could be impacted if the drought dries on. >> so the things we buy are going to be more expensive?

>> more expensive and they will be late. >> are you seeing climate change impacting your operations around the world? >> everywhere. everywhere you have climate change impacting global commerce. >> reporter: the international shipping industry is part of the problem. responsible for about 3% of planet-warming greenhouse gas emissions. about as much as japan. maersk is aiming to cut its emissions in half by 2030. >> do you have a responsibility to address this problem? >> of course. we need to move faster. it's not the time to start wondering what to do. it's the time for action. >> reporter: because in shipping lanes like the panama canal time is also money. is also money. ben tracy, cbs news, at the after cocooking a dedelicious chchicken chededdar broccoli r recipe, yoyou will wanant to deletee alall your delelivery appsp.
