3:31 am
investigating. and it continues at a pace. >> reporter: security sources have indicated they no longer think the suicide bombing suspect, salman abedi, seen here possibly buying a backpack in which to carry the bomb, made the device himself. he may have been just the mule, to use the security parlance, who carried it. details of the bomb collected at the scene by british investigators reveal a sophisticated device, with a detonator held in the bomber's left hand and a powerful battery to make sure the device went off when triggered. another indication abedi was acting as part of a terror group comes from the security chaos of libya where isis and other militants operate and from which abedi returned shortly before the bombing. abedi's brother hashim was detained in libya today by a

researchers have known for some time that there's a link between drinking and breast cancer, but a new report says even one drink a day can increase the risk. here's dr. john lapook. >> a study found that one small glass of wine, beer or other alcohol daily was associated with an increased risk of breast cancer. for premenopausal women. the risk increased 5%. for post menopausal women it increased 9%. this doctor is one of the authors. >> the risk of breast cancer does increase with more alcohol, so that two drinks a day can give you twice the risk of one drink a day or three drinks a day increases the risk by three times.
3:41 am
>> on the positive side, vigorous exercise such as running, fast cycling or spinning was associated with a 17% lower risk in premenopausal women and a 10% risk in post menopausal women. >> we wouldn't recommend somebody drink four drinks a night on the weekend and then the next morning if they go for a jog it will cure everything. it may not work that way. women who keep their weight at a normal range, who are physically active, limit their alcohol to one drink a day, that can significantly reduce risk for developing breast cancer. >> on the one hand, alcohol increases the risk of breast cancer. on the other hand, in moderation, it may decrease the risk of heart disease. so it's a balancing act that has to take into account which disease is the bigger threat for any one woman. for years now, cancer patients have been warned by doctors that they should seek aggressive treatment. but recently there's a new school of thought that says less is more.

3:43 am
because the body may take care of it. there's a lot of things the body takes care of. >> reporter: virtually no one questions the value of screening to find cancers. but the debate about when or if to treat those cancers is getting louder. >> when we initially started to screen for breast cancer, we were looking for small, invasive cancers, with the idea that if only we could find them early, we would really, dramatically reduce the chance of dying of breast cancer. the problem is the people who have the very low risk conditions don't need the treatment and by overtreating them, you're not improving people's chance of survival. >> reporter: a group of medical researchers concluded that of every 2,000 women screened, one will avoid dying of breast cancer, but ten women will be treated unnecessarily. dartmouth professor welsh tracks cancer survival rates as
3:44 am
screening has improved. >> and ironically, the mother the more overdiagnosis it does, the more popular it becomes because there's more people who feel they are quote, survivors because of screening, although it happens to be a cancer that was never going to bother them. they'll never know that. >> reporter: he says for thyroid cancer, screening sent the number of new cases sky rocketing, but the death rate remains virtually unchanged. the same was true for melanoma. and for prostate cancer, screening peaked in the 1990s, but the death rate barely changed. >> we're moving much more towards the observation. >> reporter: dr. ian thompson is an oncologist and president of this hospital in san antonio. in the end, if i'm the patient sitting across from you, the thing that you would have a hard time persuading me is it's okay to live with cancer in your body? >> mm-hm. >> reporter: is it okay?
3:45 am
>> well, most of us have cancer in our body, so that's the first thing. >> reporter: in fact, some prostate cancers are so slow-growing that a man will likely die of other causes. and aggressive treatments carry their own dangers. a biopsy risks infection. and surgery? even worse. >> it can lead to sexual disfunction. so a man could become impotent afterwards. medications may not work for the potency, and that can affect marital relationships. and then radiation and surgery can affect urinary functions. >> reporter: it's the unintended consequence of a strange new frontier. more ways to find cancer. but increasing concern that some of those cancers are not dangerous. a message over which patients and doctors can connect. >> i think the new rule for the physicians is to be a coach. and to really try and help explain all the complicated data and to help people make a choice

3:50 am
when the u.s. prepared to take on saddam hussein in 1991, the newly-built "uss lincoln" patrolled the persian gulf. during the 2003 invasion of iraq, the ship launched over 100 missions a day. it served as the site of one of president george w. bush's historic announcements. and when a tsunami hit, the "lincoln" rushed to provide relief. now nearly three decades after it first departed newport news, the "lincoln" is heading out for another 25 years at sea, better than ever after a four-year upgrade and overhaul. >> we're pretty close to the -- right over here are the catapults where the planes go off the bow of the ship. >> reporter: during the overhaul, that catapult underwent extensive renovation.
