ignoring the fact that we lost an 11-year-old. another child. >> reporter: nationally, firearms are the leading cause of death for children and teens. but the county's democratic sheriff, john allen, feels that the governor's act was unconstitutional. >> there's not enough law enforcement to go around and enforce this order when we're supposed to be going after criminals on the street and not after law-abiding citizens. >> reporter: so what are the solutions? >> the solution is multifaceted. you have red flag laws. you implement with your senators and your representatives other laws that they think might help bring down gun violence. >> reporter: the catholic archbishop for the area has counseled families ravaged by gun violence. he supports the temporary measure. >> we have to be courageous. we have to do something about this terrible status quo that we're living with in terms of gun violence. >> reporter: norah, this divide doesn't fall along traditional party lines. many of the most public critics were democrats. i spoke with the governor's office just moments ago. they plan to be back here in court on october 3rd.

voters who he's a deal breaker for them. >> i mean, nikki haley says americans won't vote for a convicted criminal. do you agree with that? >> i think the chance of getting elected president after being convicted of a felony is as close to zero as you can get. >> let's talk about some of the issues that matter most to voters. how does a president desantis get inflation down? >> stop spending so much money. we need a president that's going to be a force for spending restraint because that's one of the root causes, with congress spending so much. two, open up domestic energy production. energy costs are a huge part of inflation. >> on that issue of spending, the issue is that in fact republicans and under donald trump he added $8 trillion to the debt. and as nikki haley pointed out during the debate, republicans have earmarked more in spending bills than democrats do. do republicans have a spending

problem? >> yes. of course. this is republicans and democrats in d.c. that have done this. this is not just one political party. republicans talk big when they're out of power, but when they get in they don't put their money where their mouth is. you're right. donald trump added almost 8 trillion to the debt in four years. he ran saying he was going to eliminate the national debt, maybe over an eight-year period, but he did make that promise -- >> that's a broken promise. >> well, of course it is. >> there is new data out that the number of abortions in florida has actually increased. and increased since dobbs. for those who oppose abortion rights is it time to enact a national ban on abortion? >> well, the issue with florida is that the southeastern states have very, very strong pro-life laws. florida is litigating under a 15-week. so we have become against our wishes a destination. now, we've also done the

heartbeat protection act, which would go into effect once the courts clear this, which i think would probably stop the whole abortion tourism thing. so we don't want to be an abortion tourism destination. >> why won't you answer that question? >> what do you mean? >> about why you would support a federal ban -- >> i support pro-life policies. i'll be a pro-life president. but at the same time i've got to chart the course and be honest with people about okay, how do you advance the ball like we did in florida. and the way you do that is really bottom up. >> reporter: we asked the governor whether the penalties mentioned in florida's six-week ban would include women. >> we have no criminal -- the penalties are for the physician. i mean, a lot of -- >> governor, i read the bill. it says just this. it does include jail time and fines for, quote, any person who willfully performs or actively participates in a termination of pregnancy. >> and that's for the providers. >> is a woman not actively participating in the termination

of her pregnancy? >> no, because she's not a medical practitioner -- >> so you shall not for criminalizing women. >> no. absolutely not. and that will not happen in florida. >> well, there were so many important issues to cover with the governor, we asked him about the naacp warning that florida is openly hostile for african americans people of color and lgbtq individuals. his answer is on our cbsnews.com website. tonight, heart-wrenching new images in the aftermath of you go by lots of titles veteran, son, dadad. -it's s time to geget up. -no. hair s stylist andnd cheerlead. so a adding a "“studenent” te might t feel overwrwhelm. whatat if a schohool could be t there for a all of? career, , family, fifinancs anand mentntal health.h. it''s comiming along.. well, it c can. national u university.y. supppporting thehe whole y.

for many new yorkers including the families of some of those killed on 9/11. former new york city mayor michael bloomberg gave mo rocca a tour. >> reporter: in the shadow of where the twin towers once stood, glowing above the memorial pools honoring the nearly 3,000 people killed on september 11th, stands a shining new monument to the living. the $500 million pearlman performing arts center opens its doors this month. the pac, as it's known, is the final major piece of the redevelopment of the world trade center site. it's also the coda to a remarkable story of the revival of a neighborhood that many thought would never recover. >> you know, in 2001 before the attacks downtown manhattan had 33,000 people living in it roughly.

cut to the year 2020. the number had grown to roughly double. i don't think many people would have predicted that. >> today it is a residential area. when i worked on wall street, there was nobody on the streets at night. and now the streets are packed with people. >> so how did that happen? >> well, we made it safe and we made it inviting. all the things that you should do to make any city attractive. >> we are clearly going to have enormous problems. but i know that we are up to the task. we can do it. >> reporter: when michael bloomberg was first elected mayor of new york, ground zero was still burning. >> we will rebuild, renew, and remain the capital of the free world. >> reporter: the emotionally fraught task of rebuilding it became a decades-long project that didn't end when he left office in 2013. bloomberg is the chairman of both the 9/11 memorial and the

pac and has donated $130 million to the new arts center alone. >> the design was to have a place for families to grieve but also to have something for those families to live and to enjoy life because the deceased, i always thought, would want their families to be able to have a life and to remember them but go on and look to the future. >> reporter: michael bloomberg's 12 years in office coincided with an urban renaissance not just in new york but in cities across the united states. downtowns flourished as crime fell to its lowest rate in decades. a far cry from where many american cities find themselves today. compared to early 2020 before the pandemic, most american cities by most measures are still worse off. some are actually getting worse. what is the number one thing that has to happen for cities in general in the u.s. to turn it

around? >> well, the first thing, you've got to stop crime. and get guns off the streets. there's no secrets here of this stuff. all these problems are problems that we know how to solve. but you've got to have the desire to do so. >> reporter: bloomberg's success here has made him something of an authority on metropolises worldwide. his foundation has worked with cities from atlanta to lima to milan. >> you really are still bullish on cities in general. >> oh, yeah. absolutely. they have to get their crime rate lower and get the garbage picked up quicker and make their school systems better. >> vital services. >> and enforce the law better and that sort of then. and if they do that they'll be fine. we all forget, history shows we've been there before. >> reporter: after 9/11 many worried that residents and businesses would flee new york, setting off a vicious cycle, empty buildings leading to lower tax revenues, cuts in essential

services, higher crime and ultimately more people leaving. that didn't happen then. but the rise of remote work in recent years has reignited those fears in many american cities. >> i know you want people to go back to the office. you've written about this. but remote working is here to stay. i mean, in minneapolis the mayor there said he thinks it's going to top out at 75% coming back. >> he doesn't know what he's talking about. >> because more people will come back? >> i don't know how to -- i can't work with you if it's over zoom. >> but realistically, what percentage of office worker are going to come back? there are going to be office towers that are still empty. >> i'm not sure why that's true. i will say we are paying our employees for five days a week of work. okay? >> okay. >> now, if you think that those can be done at home, i don't know, but every golf course that i've heard about in the last three years has had record

summers. okay? it is funny, but it's tragic. >> yeah. and i feel terrible for younger workers. liza just off camera, she's like in her 20s. she comes to cbs and no one's there. >> she has one chance to have a great career. it is to build a cadre of friends right now at her age that will be references for her going forward. because if she doesn't have somebody they can call she's probably not going to get that job. >> you can call me. >> these are people that are going to teach her how to do those things, how to interface with people. >> can you imagine, say, in 20, 30, 40 years cities, downtowns that are primarily residential where people aren't commuting to go to work? >> human beings probably don't change very quickly in what they do. you can't do the same thing via zoom that you can do face to face. period. >> and so this is the biggest theater we're going to look into here. >> reporter: now 81, bloomberg is worth an estimated $96

billion. he's pledged to give away the majority of his wealth, including his stake in the company he founded. >> may i ask, ron perelman gave a lot of money. you gave more. why isn't it called the bloomberg center? >> well, number one, he started it. number two, my name's on too many things already, i think. >> reporter: but bloomberg has contributed far more than money, says pac executive director hadi kamara, and artistic director bill roush. >> there's no question this building would not exist without mike. i think mike really believes deeply that arts would be a vital element of how to rebuild down here. >> more than just sort of a nice thing to have. >> oh, absolutely. >> i think theater and arts in general have such an impact in the communities that they're a part of. and i do believe that they're essential to the nurturing of

the soul. >> and i'm not surprised that you believe that. i believe that as well. but was it reassuring, surprising to find that somebody like mike bloomberg believes that as well? >> it was exciting to see that there is so much dedication to see it through over the course of these 20-plus years, but not surprising. >> tell you what. can you level the floor for us? thank you. >> that's power. >> reporter: the former mayor is particularly excited by the performance space's adaptability. the three theaters can be configured in more than 60 different ways to feature theater, dance, music, opera and film. >> so now we have a totally different venue. >> reporter: but for the mogul turned mayor turned benefactor this building is about more than the art inside. it's that art's ability to transform a place. >> we startedous to give people a place to mourn, to remind us

that if we don't pull together we can't do amazing things but if we can we can against all odds and all of the prognostications really create something. the bottom line is if there is culture here businesses and people will move into that area and follow it. that's why in the end new york, you can be reasonably sure, is going to survive and do well. >> that was moe rocca ith oh m ms. flores,s, whwhat would w we do withohout?

belief. and of course there's a clown. but the animals are missing. at least in the flesh. "if you can create holl o'graphs of people who are no longer alive, why can't you do that with animals," says manager patrick philadelphia. his big idea under the big top came after seeing justin timberlake perform a duet with a hologram of the late singer prince and says his circus achieves the perfect balancing act, packing all the fun without the cruelty. as giant projectors bring elephants, horses and lions alive in 3-d form. >> imagination is the limit. so whatever you can imagine, and it can be created by an animator, by a graphic designer. >> reporter: the high-tech holographic risk of no live animals seems to be a hit. this student says, "i've never heard of this circus before, and then i learned that it didn't have any animals. that was particularly important

speed ahead with their impeachment inquiry against president biden, unilaterally authorized by speaker kevin mccarthy. >> how do you justify this impeachment inquiry without holding a full house vote? >> oh, easily. because nancy pelosi changed the rules and the precedent. >> reporter: despite saying earlier this month that he would hold a vote, the speaker pointed to former speaker nancy pelosi's decision four years ago to announce an impeachment inquiry into then president trump. it took five weeks until the house voted. >> the resolution is adopted. >> reporter: prompting the trump department of justice to declare that impeachment inquiries are invalid unless the chamber takes a formal vote. >> this is completely impeachment theater. there is no additional power that the republican congress has. >> reporter: the chair overseeing the probe into the business dealings of mr. biden's son and associates countered. >> we are following the money and we will see where that leads us. >> reporter: the white house continued to insist there is no evidence of wrongdoing by the president. >> this is a political stunt. >> reporter: utah senator mitt romney, who announced he's

capabilities would be of -- certainly would be of significant concern to us. >> reporter: putin of course will wanting something in return. and what he needs most is help to keep firing artillery in ukraine at the rate of 10 million rounds a year. joint chiefs chairman general mark milley told cbs news russia can't keep that rate up. >> their consumption rates have gone down a lot because their industry is not producing the amounts that they were, you know, previously in years gone by. >> what does north korea have that russia wants? >> well, munitions. the same calibers and types of munitions that the russians use are the same types that the north koreans use. >> reporter: whatever the details of an arms deal, kim jong un has now clearly thrown in with russia, promising putin full and unconditional support for his, quote, sacred fight against the west. norah? >> david martin at the pentagon tonight. thank you. tonight there's a new ruling

an 11-year-old. another child. >> reporter: nationally, firearms are the leading cause of death for children and teens. but the county's democratic sheriff, john allen, feels that the governor's act was unconstitutional. >> there's not enough law enforcement to go around and enforce this order when we're supposed to be going after criminals on the street and not after law-abiding citizens. >> reporter: so what are the solutions? >> the solution is multifaceted. you have red flag laws. you implement with your senators and your representatives other laws that they think might help bring down gun violence. >> reporter: the catholic archbishop for the area has counseled families ravaged by gun violence. he supports the temporary measure. >> we have to be courageous. we have to do something about this terrible status quo that we're living with in terms of gun violence. >> reporter: norah, this divide doesn't fall along traditional party lines. many of the most public critics were democrats. i spoke with the governor's office just moments ago. they plan to be back here in court on october 3rd.

just certain -- there's too many voters who he's a deal breaker for them. >> i mean, nikki haley says americans won't vote for a convicted criminal. do you agree with that? >> i think the chance of getting elected president after being convicted of a felony is as close to zero as you can get. >> let's talk about some of the issues that matter most to voters. how does a president desantis get inflation down? >> stop spending so much money. we need a president that's going to be a force for spending restraint because that's one of the root causes, with congress spending so much. two, open up domestic energy production. energy costs are a huge part of inflation. >> on that issue of spending, the issue is that in fact republicans and under donald trump he added $8 trillion to the debt. and as nikki haley pointed out during the debate, republicans have earmarked more in spending bills than democrats do. do republicans have a spending

problem? >> yes. of course. this is republicans and democrats in d.c. that have done this. this is not just one political party. republicans talk big when they're out of power, but when they get in they don't put their money where their mouth is. you're right. donald trump added almost 8 trillion to the debt in four years. he ran saying he was going to eliminate the national debt, maybe over an eight-year period, but he did make that promise -- >> that's a broken promise. >> well, of course it is. >> there is new data out that the number of abortions in florida has actually increased. and increased since dobbs. for those who oppose abortion rights is it time to enact a national ban on abortion? >> well, the issue with florida is that the southeastern states have very, very strong pro-life laws. florida is litigating under a 15-week. so we have become against our

wishes a destination. now, we've also done the heartbeat protection act, which would go into effect once the courts clear this, which i think would probably stop the whole abortion tourism thing. so we don't want to be an abortion tourism destination. >> why won't you answer that question? >> what do you mean? >> about why you would support a federal ban -- >> i support pro-life policies. i'll be a pro-life president. but at the same time i've got to chart the course and be honest with people about okay, how do you advance the ball like we did in florida. and the way you do that is really bottom up. >> reporter: we asked the governor whether the penalties mentioned in florida's six-week ban would include women. >> we have no criminal -- the penalties are for the physician. i mean, a lot f -- >> governor, i read the bill. it says just this. it does include jail time and fines for, quote, any person who willfully performs or actively participates in a termination of pregnancy. >> and that's for the providers. that is not for the women -- >> is a woman not actively participating in the termination of her pregnancy? >> no, because she's not a

medical practitioner -- >> so you are not for criminalizing women. >> no. absolutely not. and that will not happen in florida. >> well, there were so many important issues to cover with the governor. we asked him about the naacp warning that florida is openly hostile for african americans, people of color and lgbtq individuals. his answer is on our cbsnews.com website. tonight, heart-wrenching new images in the aftermath of libya's histor
