secretary of state marco rubio came to panama with a warning. the increased presence of chinese companies and interests along the panama canal is a threat, and the u.s. could take measures necessary to protect its rights, unless changes are made. but after meeting with rubio, panama's president insisted his country's sovereignty is not in question. completed by the u.s. in 1913, president jimmy carter signed a treaty that gave panama control of the canal in 1999. it's a deal president trump has repeatedly questioned. >> we're going take it back or something very powerful is going to happen. >> reporter: on the southern end of the canal, there is this port managed by a hong kong-based company with signs of early construction of a new bridge being built by a chinese firm. >> the government of china in a conflict tells them to shut down the panama canal, they will have to. >> reporter: that's why rubio made panama his first stop, trying to reassert u.s.

influence. this 51-mile canal is critical for cutting the cost of shipping goods around the world and cutting costs for american consumers. a ship going from new york to san francisco takes about 11 days if it passes through the canal. without it, it would take nearly a month. javier pimental has been giving tours here for nearly two decades. who runs the canal? >> panama, 100%. >> reporter: does china run it at all? >> nope, never. >> reporter: and everyday panamanians like at the capital's famous fish market say control of the canal isn't up for debate. this fish vendor says -- "the canal is 100% panamanian." one encouraging sign for secretary rubio, after his meeting with panama's president, the president announced his country is canceling infrastructure projects with china in the coming years. his tour, the secretary's, continues in the coming days. from here this morning he is headed to costa rica, el salvador, guatemala and the dominican republic, the rest of

the trip focused primarily on controlling immigration across the western hemisphere. >> that is ed o'keefe traveling with the secretary of state. closer to home now, new york city's new congestion pricing charge could soon hit a dead-end. president trump has vowed to terminate the $9 toll by rescinding federal approval. the charge is designed to reduce traffic, clean the air, and help fund the city's transit system. it's patterned off a similar toll in london that's been in place for 20 years. but during that time, the charge has doubled and london is the most congested city in the world. ali bouman reports. >> reporter: it's monday morning in central london and we're riding in the back of grant davis' black cab. >> for nearly 40 years of my life and brain has all been the roads of london, journeys through london, yeah. >> reporter: now going on his fourth decade as a cabbie, davis knew london before congestion

pricing and he knows it with. did you notice a change in the traffic when it first was getting started? >> yeah, definitely. but it was only short-term. since then, it's built up. this is just another burden. >> reporter: london first implemented its congestion charge in 2003. cars paid 5 pounds, about $8 once per day to enter central london, a zone about the same size as manhattan's central business district. two decades later the charge is up to 15 pounds for most cars, roughly $18. does the congestion here in london work? >> definitely. >> reporter: alina is head of planning for tfl. which is akin to new york's mta. >> when we first introduced congestion charging, it's had a really positive impact. >> reporter: tfl says the number of vehicles driving into central london dropped 18% within the first year of congestion pricing, and inside the zone was reduced by 30%. but now, more than 20 years later, the traffic is back.

according to the traffic analysis company inrix, london is the most congested in the world as of 2022, with the average driver that year losing 122 hours sitting in traffic compared to 117 hours in new york city. how do you measure that the charge is working if people are still sitting in traffic? >> it's about overall vehicle numbers going down, but that space being repurposed for other uses. making central london and the city much more pleasant. people have a place to be but also increasing the through-put of people that you're getting through. >> reporter: in the 20 years of revenue congestion pricing has put $3 billion into public transportation. when congestion pricing first launched in london, the city added 300 buses to the roads, and now their system carries the five times the number of bus passengers as new york city. but because of the slowing congestion, some of the bus fleet had to be pulled back in recent years. >> it hadn't really worked in the way it was initially intended.

>> reporter: tony travers is at the london school of economic. >> it has other consequences some of which people would think is good. but it's not had the lasting effect on increasing traffic speeds and improving the predictability of journeys. predictability of journeys. >> reporter: ali bauman, cbs gum problems could be the start of a domino effect parodontax active gum repair breath freshener clinically proven to help reverse the 4 signs of early gum disease a toothpaste from parodontax, the gum experts.

new movie that may interest you. here is conor knighton. ♪ take me away ♪ >> reporter: from time to time, you might notice the shot of a clock in a movie. in a film like "back to the future," they're key to the plot. lightning strikes the clock tower at exactly 10:04 p.m. but often, they're just ticking away in the background. or not ticking at all. like the watch from pulp fiction, stopped at 11:46. compile enough of these seemingly minute details, and minutes can turn into hours, spanning decades of moving image history. >> that clock. >> what about it? >> somebody obviously wanted us to know the time. >> reporter: in the case of the clock, a 24-hour film comprised entirely of clips from cinema and television history, that somebody is artist christian marclay.

>> it's not to create a trick or to make you forget about time. i want you to be totally conscious about it throughout. >> reporter: currently on view at the museum of modern art in new york, "the clock" runs on a continuous loop sinked to the precise time of day. when the kids in "the breakfast club" are whistling at 11:31, it's 11:31 in real life. an hour later, rainman announces -- >> pause, 12:31. >> reporter: minute by minute, the footage functions as an actual clock. >> this uncanny experience of watching some of your favorite movies and realizing that it's telling the time that you're living in right now. and it's eliminating that barrier between you and the world on screen. >> reporter: stewart comer is the chief curator of media and performance at moma. >> the effort that it took with christian and the team of researchers locating the clock footage in all of these different clips is somewhat superhuman.

>> reporter: when marclay won best artist for "the clock" at the venice biennale, it turned him into a contemporary art superstar. but the 70-year-old first made a name for himself decades earlier as part of new york's underground dj scene. >> those days you would find records. people would put them in the trash. >> reporter: born to an american mother and a swiss father, marclay was raised in switzerland and moved to the u.s. to attend art school in the late 1970s. >> i kept putting aside my work as a visual artist because i lived in a tiny east village apartment, and i didn't have a studio. so music at that time was convenient. >> reporter: it's easier to store records than canvases? >> yes. but you need tolerant neighbors. ♪ >> reporter: marclay's music was experimental. he was an early pioneer of turntablism. >> please welcome record player christian marclay.

>> reporter: invited to spin on the short-lived show "night music." ♪ >> i would destroy the records in performance, but then i had all these incredible covers. such an interesting history of graphic design. and i started collaging with them. >> reporter: one of marclay's early successes in the visual art world arrived via his body mix series in which he physically stitched together album covers to create new forms. he's unspooled cassette tapes to make prints and pillows. this is the entire tape output of the beatles woven together. he has cut up everything from japanese manga to movie titles, stacking fragments nearly 20 feet tall. it seems like the collage is the through-line with all of this. >> for me, i'm more interested in working with what exists rather than invent or draw something.

>> reporter: in 1995, marclay created telephones, a masterful mash-up of phone conversations. >> darling, it's me. >> what? >> the girl's dead. >> are you sure? do you is a positive id? >> no, not exactly. >> reporter: it's been more than a decade since "the clock" was last in new york. marclay is extremely precise about where and how it can be screened, insisting that any museum showing the work stay open at least once for 24 hours so audiences can see the nighttime section. are there "clock" completists? >> i would say there are clock squatters, i would say, people who really commit to watching it. >> reporter: but marclay says the point isn't to see all of it. it's more to make you hyper aware of the time you're spending literally watching a clock. >> here you're reminded you have an appointment at a certain time, that you can't spend your whole day watching this thing. you're more than a viewer. you're a participate manhattan

when the deadly wildfires in los angeles began last month, president trump claimed that california withheld water supplies that could have made a difference in fighting the flames. he then ordered the army corps of engineers to release billions of gallons of water into a bone-dry lake bed. many local leaders say they were caught offguard, and one of them called it a reckless photo op. as jonathan vigliotti reports, none of that water will get anywhere near l.a. >> we want to get that water pouring down here as quickly as possible. let hundreds of millions of gallons of water flow down into southern california. >> this is just stupid and ridiculous and dangerous and wasteful. >> reporter: california senator adam schiff is slamming president trump's order to maximize water releases from two reservoirs last friday. were you made aware this was going happen? >> i think even the water managers got only a short bit of notice to say please don't, you can't do that.

that's way too much water. and frankly, had they not talked the army corps off the ledge, there would have been serious flooding. it would have been even bigger problem. >> reporter: billions of gallons of water are now rushing into a dry lake bed in the state's central valley, where scientists say it can't flow south and will likely go to waste. >> there is absolutely no connection between this water and the water needed for firefighting in l.a. there is no physical connection. there is no way to move the water from where it is to the los angeles basin. >> reporter: peter glick, a climate and hydrology expert says the move ignores the reality of water management in california. >> the farmers in the basin own the water, and that water is stored in these dams in the winter during the rainy season so that farmers can use it in the very hot long, dry summer season. from the perspective of the farmers in the basin, i think that water will assume to be

lost. >> look, if you don't want it, you're going to tell me. but just, i can't imagine it. >> my understanding is the water is still flowing. this is a waste of precious water. and we just don't have the water to waste.

yesterday we told you the story of barbara goodfriend. she was suffering from als and

medication. but the patient, who must have six months or less to live and be of sound mind, must administer it. have you ever had any hesitation? >> my only hesitation was why am i waiting so long. >> reporter: two-thirds of americans now support m.a.i.d. but groups such as the united spinal association fight against what they call physician-assisted suicide. people like jose hernandez argue it's discrimination against people with disabilities. >> up. hernandez was paralyzed in a diving accident when he was a teenager. >> at what point do we decide that suicide or assisted suicide should be an option? i think all life is precious. >> reporter: he is grateful m.a.i.d. is illegal in new york where he works and lives with his partner and their baby boy. >> our home care is under attack constantly. if it becomes legal in new york, are you going to continue to cut vital services making the way

for people with disabilities to become terminal. it's either go without care or end your life. >> reporter: to people who think it's not a great idea for a variety of reasons, what would you say? >> if it's not a good idea for you, don't consider it. but there has to be a way for those who want it. >> reporter: goodfriend paid $1,000 for her end-of-life drugs. dr. robin plumer guided her through the process. >> here we are today, and what a strange day this, right, that somebody gets to pick the day that they're going to die. generally people fall asleep within five to ten minutes. 80% of people die within two hours. 90% within five hours. but it doesn't matter, because she is going to be comfortable. you're going drink this medicine and drift off into sleep, and you're just going to feel all the love and support. >> reporter: barbara goodfriend recorded this final message on her phone. >> bon voyage. this is the view from my bed. >> reporter: absent of fear and still joking.

them, they don't like it. they make noise. >> reporter: of course, this isn't their main line of defense. this is a maximum security prison housing 1300 inmates convicted of anything from murder to kidnapping. there are more than 300 cameras and several armed tower guards. the geese are another layer. the inmates seem to have gotten used to them. this man, who wanted to remain anonymous, mentioned one goose in particular named pew. so if you called him, he'll come? so the only one who has a name. >> only one. >> reporter: is pew. >> pew. >> was that pew or no? >> i think, yes. pew? he answer. >> reporter: he answered. while the geese are a novel approach here, the concept isn't new. flying back through history, geese are credited with alerting the ancient romans about the invading gauls around 390 b.c. more recently they were used to help monitor a border area between vietnam and china during the covid-19 pandemic.

back in brazil, we'd be remiss to not acknowledge the prison system has bigger problems than guard animals. for more on those, we spoke with fabio, the prosecutor for the state of sao paulo. >> the prop problem, the influence organized crime groups have within the prison. the second one is the humanitarian condition. the third one is the amount of people within the prison. >> reporter: he says organized crime groups moving cocaine to the u.s. and europe are also causing problems here. if you have overcrowding, the conditions are going to be worse? >> yes. this increase the violence within and outside the prison. >> reporter: in recent decades, brazil's prison population has soared. it now has the third largest number of incarcerated people in the world after the u.s. and china. the problems of overcrowding are more prevalent in the big cities and north of brazil, he says. in the south, where the geese

live, marques cornetti says this isn't a one-size-fits-all. >> i don't know if you could do this in brazil. >> i don't think it would work. >> reporter: but here in the countryside, these birds of a feather continue to waddle and watch. just don't get them riled up. manuel bojorquez, sao pedro de canta, brazil. while we're on the topic of animals, an endangered bird is helping bring a ray of peace and understanding in the middle east. >> reporter: soaring through the sky, these birds know no boundaries. when they migrate, barn owls fly across conflict zones in the middle east. their journey bringing a bit of unity to a divided region. israeli and arab scientists have joined forces to protect the predators from losing their habitat. they've built thousands of tiny

homes for the birds in israel, jordan, and palestinian territories. the owls can clear entire crop fields of rodents, reducing the need for harmful pesticides, helping not just the environment, but people too. this project, a rare example of co-existence. working to bridge divides, one bird at a time. john paul gonzo, cbs news. there is a lot more just ahead on "cbs news roundup." stay with us.
