7:04 am
they ripped through the industrial zone where toxic gases and chemicals are stored. the explosions turned the night sky a vivid orange. first one ball of fire, then another, even bigger blasts. shock waves knocked people off their feet. surveillance video shows doors blowing back. hospitals were inundated with hundreds of wounded, some staggering around stunned. i was actually quite far from the explosion site, this heavily bandaged security guard side. the explosions were sparked from a warehouse for hazardous materials. hundreds of cars were left charred. windows shattered in buildings miles away. pointing to his apartment he said he was petrified.
7:05 am
your windows were blown out, can you describe it? i thought it wauz plane crash. my wife and i came out. more than 12 hours later, it is still burning. you can see the smoke billowing. we are seeing gray, black, white smoke and red smoke because of the chemicals. the government suspended fire fighting until a team of check cal experts that assess what hazardous materials were inside. some pictures and posts about the blast have been censored on social media inside china. authorities here try to control the narrative. we are trying to shoot in front of a hospital, not that much, but the police are trying to stop us from shooting. this is what it's like trying to cover a story here in china. eyewitnesses say the explosion felt like earthquakes.
7:06 am
no word, yet, on what caused the blast. top management of the company that owns the warehouse has been detained and china's president is calling for severe punishment to whomever is to blame. kristine? >> a real tragedy. thank you. isis is claiming responsibility for a massive truck bombing in baghdad. it killed at least 60 people and wounded 125. it happened at a popular food market in a shiite neighborhood. the united states is opening a new front in the battle against isis. fighter jets are taking off in a jet to launch strikes in syria. the f-16s left yesterday. last month, turkey agreed to open the base to the american led coalition. support pouring in from around the world for former president, jimmy carter. he announced cancer is spreading through his body.
7:07 am
we are at the emory health care center in atlanta where he will be treated. good morning. >> reporter: good morning, this is the campus of emory health care in atlanta. the type and extent of mr. carter's cancer is still unclear. >> when we first came through -- >> reporter: ever since leaving the white house in 1981, former president turned international humanitarian, jimmy carter is full of energy and vitality. despite mr. carter's advanced age of 90, his announcement of a health crisis came as a shock to many. in a statement, he wrote, recent liver surgery revealed i have cancer now in other parts of my body. i will be rearranging my schedule to undergo treatment by physicians at emory health care. the former president cut short a
7:08 am
visit due to a bad cold. early last week, he revealed he had surgery to remove a small mass. michelle and i send our best wishes. jimmy, you're as resilient adds they come. along with the rest of america, we are rooting for you. >> praising god is praising god for who god is. >> reporter: president carter's family has a history of pancreatic cancer. in a memoir "a few life" he said a father and three siblings died of the disease. he wrote a note to self speaking to a 12-year-old jimmy carter. >> opportunities throughout your life. but don't worry, so many people want to help you along the way. >> reporter: mr. carter does plan to give a medical update soon. he says a public statement will be made when facts are known,
7:09 am
possibly next week. charlie? >> thanks, mark. d. david agus is in los angeles. good morning. >> good morning, charlie. >> in the context of 90 years old and the cancer history in the family, what do we know about the expectations and the cancer from president carter? >> cancer that is spread is not curable. we don't know if it started in the liver or started in the colon, the lung or elsewhere. but, therapy can lengthen life and hopefully make it better by reducing symptoms. the only way they would do treatment is if they think it will benefit him. >> what are the options for treatment dr. agus? >> depends on the type of cancer, chemotherapy, molecular therapy or the new immunotherapy.
7:10 am
we really need to know the details. the biopsy was a week ago. they know the details. they will announce it along with the game plan. >> as we heard, president carter has a family history of pancreatic cancer. he wrote i have had regular x-rays, cat scans and regular blood analysis. here we are today now. how might that affect his outcome? >> he has a greater than 50 times risk of pancreatic cancer. he's very high risk. also, he said in a recent interview a couple years ago, he stopped the screening several years ago. undergoing the routine c.a.t. scans and mris going on earlier in life. we know catching cancer early matters and we can have a better chance of treating the disease.
7:11 am
we can prevent diseases like pancreatic lowering with chemo treatment or drugs like aspirin. i'm sure he was on these. >> he's been a nonsmoker as well. hopefully that plays a positive factor. dr. david agus, thank you. >> thank you. inspectors will be on the scene of a ceiling collapse. several people were hurt during a concert last nilgt. ashley roberts of our maply station, wcco, is outside the club. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. this could have been a lot worse. this music venue has been a staple of the minneapolis music scene for more than 40 years. on wednesday night, that scene turned from rock 'n' roll to chaos. debris from the ceiling rained down on concert goers in minneapolis on wednesday night before a stunned crowd of nearly 1,000 people.
7:12 am
people ran toward the club's exit as the building was evacuated. two people rushed to the hospital. a number of others received minor injuries. >> some of the ceiling came down and hit myself. one girl we were helping was knocked unconscious and hit on the left side of her forehead. the other one was totally buried. we got her out of there. >> reporter: sources say there was a leak in the ceiling of the concert hall and the vibrations from the band caused the creeling to collapse. >> i was pushing people out of the way. >> lights flashing. >> reporter: prince made it his regular gig in the '80s. it served at the set for the 1984 movie, "purple rain." first avenue will be closed today as officials inspect the structural integrity of the building. charlie? >> thanks, ashley. this morning hillary
7:13 am
clinton's private e-mail server is in the hands of the fbi. the server was handed over wednesday afternoon since presidential rivals are hammering her for not turning it over sooner. we have in washington where officials say top secret information proved that server. good morning. >> good morning. no surprise, it is the topic every republican candidate is talking about on the campaign trail as clinton's team tries to down play the significance of handing over the server. stock have a private server in your home, i mean, come on, man. >> reporter: republican candidates were too eager to change the subject from trump to clinton. >> hillary clinton would be a good deceiver. she cannot be trusted to be the commander in chief. >> reporter: in an interview, rubio calls clinton ir irresponsib irresponsible. businesswoman carley fiorina
7:14 am
told cbs news, clinton lied. >> secretary of state, two years after she leaves it department suddenly admits she has a private e-mail server in her basement and she decided which e-mails to destroy. it's unbelievable. >> reporter: congressman darrel issa called for a criminal investigation. for five months, clinton resisted called to hand over her server. >> i believe i have met all my responsibilities. the server will remain private. >> reporter: a campaign spokesman says clinton reversed her stance in an effort to be helpful because of disagreement in the intelligence community and information in the e-mail. the intelligence community and inspector general say twos of the 40 e-mails should have been marked top secret. the state department says it isn't clear. >> looking at these kinds of issues, sometimes it's black and white.
7:15 am
oftentimes, it's not. >> reporter: clinton stayed out of sight on wednesday. her team sent this letter designed to reassure supporters. to be clear, there is no criminal inquiry into hillary's e-mail or e-mail server. that two-page letter calls the controversy nonsense, even as it insists clinton is actively working with the justice department to make sure they have what they need. gayle? >> thank you, nancy. donald trump is denouncing the nuclear deal with iran. the front-runner says the agreement gives iran too much clout. >> it is so important that they not have nuclear weapons. they will have them and surrounding countries will get them, too. you are going to have a nuclear holocaust. >> rand paul is in a tv ad and uses trumps words. >> i have been around for a long
7:16 am
time. it just seems that the economy does better under the democrats than the republicans. >> as you might expect, donald trump had a response. he told "the washington post" rand paul is doing so poorly in the polls he has to revert to old footage of me discussing opinions i no longer hold. it does deserve a chuckle. china's central bank says there's no reason why their currency should continue to fall. the yuan dropped 3% against the dollar. boost the economy and make exports cheaper for foreign buyers. it sent u.s. markets into a tail spin and stocks rebounded and closed nearly flat. this morning, the e.p.a. suspended field work on mines
7:17 am
while they inspect the gold key mine spill. water conditions are improving. some states, though, are skeptical. we are in durango with the concerns over abandoned mines. good morning. >> reporter: well, good morning. the waters here seem to be improving, really every day. in fact, the governor's office says the state's health department is recommending to reopen the river. that is good news for durango residents. it will be up to the sheriff and local officials to make that decision. federal officials say new testing shows the river is returning to normal after millions of toxic sludge gushed into the water. e.p.a. does this work all the time. i cannot tell you how heart breaking it is, is a good word, i think. >> reporter: wednesday, the
7:18 am
e.p.a. director spoke at an event and toured for the first time. colorado state officials said the city of durango could improve. with the plume still churning, the attorney general from utah, new mexico and colorado are remaining cautious. >> as pretty as the river looks to us and as beautiful of a day as it is in durango, colorado, this is not the end of the story. >> reporter: the disaster drew attention to the overabundant abandoned mines. >> i know of at least four other mine blowout that is happened in the past 20 years. the difference is this is much larger and happened when someone was working on site. >> he's been working on mining issue 20s years. he says the e.p.a. could have avoided this blowout. >> they could have taken another
7:19 am
step. >> reporter: it could have been preventable? >> may have presented it. they would have taken a different approach had they known how much water was back there. >> reporter: the water is getting back to the preincident levels. people downstream are concerned. utah's governor declared a state of emergency as the plume heads down to lake powell. gayle? >> thank you. tom brady and the man that suspended him meet in court.

7:34 am
the staffers would not act on their own. the judge shot back, is that it? judge berman spoke of the over 200 page report by ted wells that concluded it is more probable than not that he was aware of the inappropriate activity. berman told nash, i'm not sure i understand what in the world that means. gabe feldman is director of the law program and nfl analyst. what did you make of what was going on? >> the judge asked both sides difficult question, not to show he thought one side was going to win or lose. both sides has risks. the idea was to pressure them into thinking about the settlement. >> he had skeptical questions about kessler, the lawyer defending brady. he asked whether it was possible that staffers would have tampered with the game ball without brady's knowledge and why brady destroyed his cell
7:35 am
phone in the middle of the investigation. kessler told berman, you are right adding brady concluded it should have been done a different way. both brady and nfl commissioner roger goodell said nothing following the first day of talks. >> brady is unwilling to take more than a fine and the league is unwilling to take anything less than a suspension. the biggest obstacle is they are so far apart. >> the nfl and brady will be back in the same courthouse next week to continue negotiations. judge berman cautioned both sides he has not made up his mind either way. if they can't agree to compromise, he's prepared to hold a trial and the whole process could last years. gayle? >> so it continues. thank you, anna. the patriots superstar is sending social media into a frenzy this morning. his image became part of the movie "e.t." on mount rushmore.
