third and one. wide open. ginn. >> tony: keep throwing the ball, and if you're the rams keep them inside the numbers. play the sideline. >> jim: another sideline pass. wide open once more and that goes for 25 and brees has his 200-yard game and more. 231 after this. >> tony: you're putting the corner in a bind, putting a guy underneath him and on top of him -- cover two which means a safety has a deep part one half of the field and the corner has

the flat. >> jim: might be a free play for brees. kamara. touchdown. >> referee: offside. defense. number 50. penalty is declined. touchdown. >> jim: 75 yards in 42 seconds. >> tony: kamara just makes ogletree -- stand right there and think he was going the -- that was so easy. >> jim: kamara has a second touchdown of the game, over 100 yards in receiving on six catches, five carries for 87 rushing. 17 yards a clip. >> tony: comes down to this. i'll tell you right now new orleans is going to kick an onside here, obviously if the rams get it the game is over, if new orleans gets it they're right back in it.

>> jim: for those of you expecting "60 minutes," you're watching the nfl on cbs. the normal saints in los angeles here take on the rams. jim nantz with tony rmo and tracy wolfson. the score here is los angeles 26, new orleans 20. "60 minutes" will be seen in its entirety immediately following this game except on the west coast. it's going to be lutz for the onside attempt. of course, the most famous onside kick in super bowl history was by thomas morstead of the saints when they won super bowl xliv down in miami. the second half began with morstead successfully delivering -- look how quick lutz goes -- wait a minute, time out first. >> tony: great job by sean mcvay being super prepared.

>> referee: time out los angeles. 30-second time out. >> tony: he stands right next to the ref and as soon as he doesn't think his team is prepared. he gets the time out in before they can get it off. the kick went a little far so they probably would have had it anyway but they definitely only had three guys over there. >> jim: it was opponent rams side that all-hands team and their special teams coach, a good one, john fassel. whose father took a team to the super bowl directing the giants there. >> tony: if he kicks it over here, there are only three guys, two of them are blocked, you've got four guys but everyone kicks with a bunch of people. they tried the last one. >> jim: up in the air. that's watkins. >> tony: that will do it. the rams come in -- home at the

coliseum and get it done in a big game. look at this. that was a good kick, jim. >> jim: kind of the way you want to do it but a few of the rams went out there and slowed down the onslaught of saints. they blocked them. >> tony: get out of here. you get out of here. i love you. no, i love you. yeah. let's go. [laughing] >> jim: just don't injure a rib with goff as you celebrate with him. they have had some extraordinary performances. they won down in dallas. put up big numbers there. >> tony: this is a tough one because new orleans -- you want to say they didn't play great today but the story to me in this game new orleans's ability to create enough separation as you see the standings right there -- separation in the man-to-man coverage.

>> jim: for the rams, this now ensures they have their first nonlosing season since 2006 with an eighth win. >> tony: the other thing, too, is the rams taking advantage of the saints' secondary, being without two starters and great coaching, attack the weakness of the opponent over and over again until they can show you they can stop it -- but they never did today and that's why going forward new orleans is probably ok because they're going to get these guys back and be able to play. look at this. you know how much time they put in throughout the week to get ready for this one 3 1/2-hour window? it's so much. there is wade phillips who turns around every defense wherever he goes. >> jim: what i a great hire it was. >> tony: a revenge game today. >> jim: former defensive coordinator for the saints under his father back in the mid 1980's and was an interim coach for the saints for a few games

in 1985. >> tony: you could argue it's a revenge game every week. he's been about 15 places. >> jim: successful at all of them. >> tony: he's always been great. >> jim: jared goff and the rams -- if you didn't know it already, they have arrived. 354 yards, two touchdowns by goff. both teams walk off the field at 8-3. 26-20 the final. let's go to j.b. in new york. >> james: the eight-game win streak of the saints is over. l.a. knocking them off 26-20. we take you now to the contest in arizona. all knotted, jacksonville and arizona at 24-24, six seconds left in regulation, let's join the an opportunity. spero: phil dawson on to attempt what would be longest field goal of his career. first they will take a look at that last completion. the call on the field is a completed pass, a pick up of 12

. gabbert to d.j. foster. myles jack was the man on the coverage. adam: and going back, the decision, jacksonville's previous drive, to throw the ball on second down, an incomplete pass and give bruce arians an extra time or a clock stoppage could come back to bite doug marrone and the jaguars. spero: officials looking at the same replay you are seeing at home. new york will have final say as always. it appears he had those two toes inbounds. we await confirmation from the referee. adam: remember, it was called a catch on the field. certainly nothing clear and obvious, the way i see it, that would change this outcome.

spero: that is how they do it out at arizona state. referee: after review, the ruling on the field stands as called. first down. spero: here we go. phil dawson has hit from 34, 42 and 4. this will be from 57 yards out. you see what he has done in his career from 50-plus. one of the best in the history of the league. the 42-year-old kicker in his 19th nfl season. adam: jacksonville with nobody back deep, a little surprising that if this kick comes up short, nobody can run it back. spero: this one is on target, and it is good! adam: wow! spero: one second left as dawson has kicked arizona in front.

longest field goal of his 19-year career. incredible. right down broadway to give arizona a three-point lead. look at dawson telling his teammates get off the field with a second still remain. adam: so much action here in the last minute of the game. arizona getting another chance. how about the two throws at the end of the game by blaine gabbert? toe fire that ball on the

sideline and give his receivers an opportunity. spero: looks like a delay of game, so they will mark it back and kick it from the 30. you have to feel good for blaine gabbert. he took his lumps, his three years in jacksonville. expectations were so high. there was so much change around him, constant change, multiple head coaches, all the different coordinators, facing his informanter team for the first time. the arizona cardinals will onside kick it hoof. posluszny will pitch it back. this is corey grant. this is the man they want to have it in his hands. they try to keep it alive here. this is mickens. that is a live football, and that will do it. the arizona cardinals win it here in week 12 on the right

leg of phil dawson. adam: spero, that is an incredible, pretty unbelievable ending to this football game. we talked about blaine gabbert. two fourth quarter picks a week ago against the texans when they had to have it, threw another one in this game. but he bounced back. he had to use throws and his legs to improvise on third downs. you have to admire the work that he put on today against one of the best defenses, if not the best in the nfl. you can see players now having to be separated. some pushing and jawing at each other as they came off the field. gresham and fowler trying to defuse the situation. you hate to see that.

we update you on the standings now in the a.f.c. south and the n.f.c. west. the cardinals end a two-game slide, and jacksonville with tennessee winning earlier today in indianapolis now tied atop the south with the titans at 7-4. the cardinals win it 27-24. tonight on cbs begins with "60 minutes," followed by wisdom of the crowd, ncis los angeles and madam secretary. now for adam archuleta, spero dedes and our entire cbs crew, saying goodbye from glendale, arizona. you have been watching the nfl on cbs.

>> jose andres: you have the sea coming, and the river coming. >> cooper: chef jose andres went to the devastated island a few days after the storm, to see how he could help. he began doing what he does best. he found a kitchen, bought some ingredients, and began to cook. it's a good thanksgiving story, because that first day andres and his small team made about a thousand meals. ( andres singing ) since then, he's recruited an army of chefs and volunteers, and together they've served more than three million meals to the hungry people of puerto rico. >> pelley: from the looks of it >> pelley: this is a hospital during the siege of aleppo. from the looks it of, maybe a father, a distraught mother, and a child curled up on a gurney. that was an air strike.

this hospital was hit 14 times in six months. >> you work with the understanding that you might >> dr. samer attar: you work with the understanding that you might find yourself dead, or crippled, or dismembered on the floor, next to the people you're trying to save. >> kroft: the isle of eigg is an ungroomed masterpiece of nature too wild to tame. a craggy speck of incredible beauty. >> galli: you know, the people on eigg, i'd have to say, are more evolved. >> kroft: charlie galli, the taxi driver and amateur philosopher, says most people here have done the whole life on the mainland thing and rejected it. you know everybody on the island? >> galli: i know them and their shoe sizes, and like i say, there's no secrets on an island, so... >> kroft: so what are they talking about this week? >> galli: mainly you. >> i'm steve kroft. >> i'm lesley stahl. >> i'm bill whitaker. >> i'm anderson cooper. >> i'm scott pelley. those stories tonight on "60 minutes."

type 2 diabetes.here to test people's knowledge about so you have type 2 diabetes? yes i do. true or false... type 2 diabetes more than doubles your chance of dying from a cardiovascular event, like a heart attack or a stroke. that can't be true, can it? actually, it is true. and with heart disease, your risk is even higher. in fact, cardiovascular disease is the #1 cause of death for adults with type 2 diabetes and heart disease. but there is good news. jardiance is the only type 2 diabetes pill with a lifesaving cardiovascular benefit. jardiance is proven to both significantly reduce the chance of dying from a cardiovascular event in adults who have type 2 diabetes and heart disease and lower your a1c. that's good to know.

jardiance can cause serious side effects including dehydration. this may cause you to feel dizzy, faint, or lightheaded, or weak upon standing. ketoacidosis is a serious side effect that may be fatal. symptoms include nausea, vomiting, stomach pain, tiredness, and trouble breathing. stop taking jardiance and call your doctor right away if you have symptoms of ketoacidosis or an allergic reaction. symptoms of an allergic reaction include rash, swelling, and difficulty breathing or swallowing. do not take jardiance if you are on dialysis or have severe kidney problems. other side effects are sudden kidney problems, genital yeast infections, increased bad cholesterol, and urinary tract infections, which may be serious. taking jardiance with a sulfonylurea or insulin may cause low blood sugar. tell your doctor about all the medicines you take and if you have any medical conditions. isn't it time to talk to your doctor about jardiance? absolutely. ask your doctor about jardiance. and get to the heart of what matters.

whoamike and jen doyle?than i thought. yeah. time for medicare, huh. i have no idea how we're going to get through this. follow me. choosing a plan can be super-complicated. but it doesn't have to be. unitedhealthcare can guide you through the confusion, with helpful people, tools and plans. including the only plans with the aarp name. well that wasn't so bad at all. that's how we like it. aarp medicare plans, from unitedhealthcare. it's the last gift! a note8 with verizon unlimited so tom can apply this, and fix that on the network he deserves- verizon! thanks to the expert service and selection at best buy.

open this last. >> cooper: we first met chef jose andres seven years ago in the wildly popular restaurant he'd opened in beverly hills. andres was born in spain, but america is where he became famous for his avant-garde approach to cooking. he has nearly 30 restaurants here, now, but he's barely set foot in any of them in the past two months-- not since hurricane maria hit puerto rico. andres went to the devastated island a few days after the storm, to see how he could help.

he is not a disaster relief expert, so he began doing what he does best. he found a kitchen, bought some ingredients, and began to cook. it's a good thanksgiving story because that first day, andres and his small team made about a thousand meals. since then, he's recruited an army of chefs and volunteers, and together they've served more than three million meals to the hungry people of puerto rico. ( andres singing ) jose andres is always on the move. in the kitchen, which has become his base of operations in san juan, he's a culinary commander rallying his troops. ( andres singing ) preparing meals for so many people is a massive undertaking, requiring trained chefs, thousands of volunteers, assembly lines of sandwiches-- 900 on this table alone. >> jose andres: good ham, good

cheese, and a lot of mayo. >> cooper: there's a lot of mayonnaise here. it's all the more remarkable because none of this was set up before jose andres got to puerto rico two months ago. >> andres: i arrive monday, right after the hurricane, and i ask, "who is in charge of feeding the people of puerto rico?" and they told me, "everybody. everybody's in charge." you know, when you have to feed an entire island you need to have one-- one person and one organization responsible. >> cooper: there has to be a plan. >> andres: has to be a plan, and somebody has to be responsible for achieving that plan. >> cooper: andres came up with his own plan to feed as many of the island's nearly 3.5 million people as possible. he started with $10,000 of his own money, in cash, and pockets full of credit cards. how do you arrive at a place-- you don't know where the food is; you don't know where access to water is.

how did it get off the ground here? >> andres: so for me, it was not difficult. the first thing i do-- you're a chef, you go and try to find a kitchen. everybody was saying, "there's no food, there's no food." well, that was not true. the big food distribution companies had food, because they had fuel, they had diesel. they kept their refrigerators and the freezers working. >> cooper: there was food here. >> andres: plenty of food. >> cooper: what was the problem? >> andres: the problem was the urgency of "now." it's a very simple thing when you're a cook. when you're hungry, you gather the food, you gather your helpers, you begin cooking, and then you start feeding people. >> cooper: he joined up with a local chef named jose enrique and other volunteers, cooking enormous pans of paella and stews in a parking lot in san juan. it wasn't long before they were making more than 100,000 meals a day. >> cooper: how did you scale it up that quickly? >> andres: well, you know one thing, when these moments happen, we have a tendency to think, "oh we have to feed three million people."

almost, the idea is impossible. >> cooper: it seems overwhelming? >> andres: it's totally overwhelming, but all of a sudden, imagine you begin breaking this. we are going to be doing now 25,000 meals. when you do it well for two days, you increase it to 50,000. and when you do it well, you increase it to 100,000, and all of a sudden, you scale it up in a way that is simple. >> cooper: that's a big pan. >> andres: it's chicken, chickpeas. we try to put good amount of proteins, rice. every puerto rican, i love rice. >> cooper: ingredients are often improvised. they cook whatever they can buy. techniques are improvised as well. jennifer herrera says a prayer for puerto rico as she pours oil into each pan of rice. >> jennifer herrera (/translated/): god bless puerto rico. god bless puerto rico. >> cooper: the time it takes her to say "god bless puerto rico" is the exact amount of oil she says she needs. how many blessings do you give puerto rico every day?

>> herrera: thousands of blessings. >> cooper: with the help of private donations and money from the federal government, josé andres' non-profit organization "world central kitchen" has prepared more hot meals than any of the other bigger, more experienced disaster relief organizations here, like the salvation army and the red cross. >> cooper: most agencies, if they're giving out food, they're giving out m.r.e.'s or snacks-- or, not hot meals. >> andres: americans should be receiving one plate a day of hot food. that's not too much to ask in america. an m.r.e. is very expensive for the american taxpayer. a hot meal is more affordable-- it's cheaper. it's what people really need, it's what people really want. they feel all of a sudden that you are caring for them-- that america is caring for them. >> cooper: you're not just giving calories-- you're giving attention to people. >> andres: the calories are obvious, but this is a message of hope. this is a message, "we care, and be patient, things eventually will get better."

>> cooper: that message of hope is one andres has been preaching for weeks on social media. >> andres: so great. we got a refrigerator and fresh produce. thank you! thank you! thank you! >> cooper: documenting his efforts to expand operations around the entire island. at the height of the emergency, he had 18 kitchens going at once, and used trucks, cars, and anyone he could find to deliver meals. >> andres: all of a sudden, i have homeland security helping us deliver sandwiches and water in the most difficult areas of the island. i had cooks from the u.s. coast guard helping us, volunteering. we were having so many different men and women, coming from the federal government, helping us. ( rooster crowing ) >> cooper: there are still plenty of places that need the help. in this community an hour south

of san juan, there's no electricity. this is the first hot meal this family has eaten in more than two weeks. andres' dedication has inspired others in puerto rico to set up kitchens of their own. in a church perched in the mountains of naguabo, pastor eliomar santana and his parishioners cook hot meals for neighboring communities with the rice, beans, and sausages andres has provided them. >> eliomar santana: we have people here with no water, no-- no lights. they lost everything in their house, and they have stopped thinking on that-- for helping others. >> cooper: so, even though some of your parishioners need help, they're still volunteering here? >> santana: yes, they're still volunteering. >> cooper: they're still trying to help other people? >> santana: they're still trying to help other people. >> cooper: before delivering the food to a nearby housing project, pastor santana thanks god, and then jose andres. in the church, when you were praying, you thanked god first, and second, you thanked jose

andres. >> santana: yes, that's very important. but i have to say, always say god first, then jose. >> cooper: well, jose's in good company. andres' presence has not been without controversy. he's been critical of the federal government's response to the hurricane and, after attending meetings with fema, the federal emergency management agency, he called their headquarters in san juan the most inefficient place on earth. was that the frustration? that it was just bureaucratic? that there were a lot of meetings and you felt like things weren't getting done? >> andres: we were already feeding 100,000 people a day, and i needed their help to make sure we had money to keep buying the food to keep feeding these never-ending needs of people in need. and there is where-- call it red tape. nothing was happening. >> cooper: fema did award andres' world central kitchen two short-term contracts worth $11.5 million to provide

1.8 million meals, but the agency refused to grant them a third, longer-term contract. andres thinks the overall response to disaster relief needs to change. >> andres: the people of the federal government are great people. but then it's red tape, that sometimes doesn't allow that same people to be successful. i didn't put the name "emergency" in fema. i didn't. but somebody's going to have to tell me the meaning of emergency. to me, when we're talking about food and these-- the little thing i know-- is that emergency in food means one thing. people are hungry, and when you're hungry, it's today. >> cooper: fema says, "look, to negotiate a big contract, there's a bidding process. you have to have three different companies bidding on it. that there's federal government regulations." you say that gets in the way of...? >> andres: americans in puerto rico were hungry, and we were not delivering food quick enough. and what we did is, we didn't plan. we didn't meet.

we began cooking and we began delivering food to the people in need in puerto rico. and what we need to make sure is that next time we are not negotiating contracts. that next time, the federal government is ready to do what they are supposed to do next time something like this happens. maybe an earthquake, maybe another hurricane, or maybe a terrorist attack. we need to make sure we are ready, because the people of america don't deserve anything less. >> cooper: jose andres' passion for disaster relief is a far cry from what excited him when we first met him in his restaurant in beverly hills in 2010. back then he was leading a kind of culinary revolution-- pioneering innovations in molecular gastronomy, marrying science with food in surprising and playful ways. >> andres: are you ready for this? because, i believe your life is going to change forever-- i mean it. >> cooper: this is going to change my life? >> andres: maybe. okay. ( laughter )

>> cooper: i don't know why i keep doing stories about food, because i don't really eat much and never really think much about food. but it's so interesting to me how, for you, food is at the center of everything. >> andres: anderson, food touches everything. food is in our d.n.a. food touches the economy. food is science. food is romanticism. food is health. food has many of the opportunities to have a better tomorrow. >> cooper: that philosophy is at the heart of andres humanitarian efforts around the globe. he founded world central kitchen after the earthquake in haiti in 2010. >> andres: i've been here more than 25 times, to haiti. >> cooper: this past june, months before hurricane maria hit puerto rico, we met up with andres in haiti's capital, port-au-prince.

he supports an orphanage here and has established a job training program for local chefs. he's also spearheading an effort to reduce the widespread use of charcoal in cooking. long-term exposure to smoke from cooking indoors on fires kills an estimated 4 million people worldwide every year, most of them women and children. andres has provided cleaner- burning propane gas stoves to more than 100 schools in haiti, like this one in port-au-prince. i mean, focusing on stoves, on the idea of clean cook stoves, is not something that a lot of people think about. >> andres: i am a cook. i feed the few, but i've always been super interested in feeding the many. and when i've seen some of these women doing the change from the charcoal to the gas, everything changes around them. when we see these women cooking in the street with charcoal and we eat the plate of food, we should all be asking ourselves, how that plate of food can

really become an agent of change. >> cooper: an agent of change? >> andres: a true agent of change-- one plate at a time. >> cooper: jose andres spent thanksgiving in puerto rico, continuing to feed people one plate at a time. this has been his biggest undertaking thus far. >> andres: every time there is a rainbow, you know things are going to get better. >> cooper: he's scaling back now, as the need for emergency food relief here lessens, but he's already thinking about how he can do it better the next time disaster strikes.

has committed every war crime on the books: bombing civilians, gassing neighborhoods, torturing prisoners. an estimated 400,000 people have been killed in the civil war, and 11 million forced from their homes. last december, with his allies russia and iran, assad occupied the ruins of aleppo, syria's largest city. various rebel groups continue to fight, and assad means to break them with another war crime-- the destruction of hospitals. what you are about to see is difficult to watch, but it's worth it, because standing in assad's way are courageous doctors, many of them american volunteers, risking their lives to heal the wounds of war. this is a hospital during the siege of aleppo. from the looks of it maybe, an exhausted father, a distraught mother and a child, at left, curled up on a gurney.

that was an air strike. this hospital was hit 14 times in six months. this is aleppo again, last year. "al jazeera" reporter amro halabi was covering the aftermath of a chemical attack. once the e.r. filled up, the hospital was hit. the nursery was evacuated. then the camera found the neonatal i.c.u.

targeting hospitals is the atrocity that started the geneva conventions 153 years ago, and led to the creation of the red cross. it is the original war crime. since 2011, there have been more than 450 attacks on syrian hospitals. emergency medicine has been driven underground. every neighborhood air strike delivers too many patients, with too little time. doctors improvise with scavenged drugs and salvaged equipment. so many doctors have been killed, or have fled, that veterinarians and dentists are pressed to do surgery. >> dr. samer attar: you work with the understanding that you might find yourself dead, or crippled, or dismembered on the

floor, next to the people you're trying to save. >> pelley: dr. samer attar is a leading orthopedic surgeon from chicago, who volunteers in syria's makeshift hospitals. >> attar: the bombs would land so close, they'd knock you off your feet. and at times, they would directly hit the hospital. but all i did was look around and follow everyone else's lead, because they're like rocks. they don't lose their cool, they don't lose their composure. they just keep working. >> pelley: dr. attar enlisted in the syrian-american medical society, which began in the 1990s as a professional association. but, since the revolution, these american doctors have raised nearly $100 million in aid and sent more than 100 members into rebel-held syria, including aleppo, where dr. attar worked. >> attar: we'd find ourselves doing surgeries, sometimes without anesthesia, on people lying on gurneys in the hallway,

because you're just so over- stretched. >> say hi, everybody. >> pelley: these are dr. attar's pictures of aleppo. >> attar: i remember another child that was brought in, she couldn't have been more than five. her whole body was pockmarked with shrapnel, from her chest to her belly, and one of the surgeons in aleppo, a syrian surgeon, heroically rushed her to the operating room, and opened up her belly, and stopped the bleeding in her liver. but she had lost so much blood. we can't. you can't give all of your blood to save one life, if you can save it to give a little bit each to five, who you know will make it. and i saw that all the time. >> pelley: did that little girl make it? >> attar: that girl? no, she did not. seeing little bodies wrapped in white shrouds-- with the cloth still bleeding, because the bodies still bleed. they'd be wrapped in white shrouds and just placed outside, to be taken to be buried. >> pelley: six-year-old mohammad kament was destined for a burial shroud, until a syrian surgeon saved his life.

>> attar: what is his name? >> pelley: mohammad's house had been hit by a mortar, and he became unforgettable to samer attar. >> attar: i remember him, because he lost his mother and his siblings and both of his legs. the day before i left aleppo, he asked me to bring back robotic legs, prosthetic legs, if i ever returned. and if only it were that simple. he thought that i could deliver them like a pair of gym shoes, and that everything would be back to normal. he'd go back to running around and playing soccer. >> basel termanini: it's the worst humanitarian crisis on our lifetimes, and because those are our own people. >> pelley: basel termanini is vice president of the syrian- american medical society. he's a gastroenterologist in steubenville, ohio. he told us the society donated 120 ambulances, pays the salaries of nearly 2,000 syrian staff, equips 135 medical facilities and is building more.

>> termanini: there have been more than 500 attacks on health care facilities. and we have more than 800 casualties from the staff. so we're trying to move all those facilities underground. >> pelley: did you say 800 medical professionals have been killed in attacks on hospitals? >> termanini: yes. more than 800. i think now it's, the latest is 850. there are attacks on hospitals. people are detained, tortured to death. there are shellings also, mostly air strikes and barrel bombs. this is number one killer for the health staff. >> pelley: who are some of the men and women who work with you inside syria? >> termanini: those are our heroes. they know the risk in their lives, every day risking their family's life. but they know if they migrate and go out, nobody is willing to provide those services. so then we try to support them. whatever they need, we try to fulfill. what they need, is to know that they are not alone.

>> pelley: how many trips in does this make for you? >> attar: this is number four. >> pelley: we traveled into syria with dr. attar. the road to aleppo was in the hands of an islamist rebel group known as ahrar al-sham. our route was through idlib, the last whole province still at war. we found a hospital hit by an air strike, but somehow, still running. on the darkened but functioning side of the hospital, samer attar spotted abdurraham ghanim. they had worked in aleppo before its fall, last december. >> abdurraham ghanim: it was a massacre. >> pelley: a massacre. >> abdurraham ghanim: so much bodies, so much injuries, we did our best. >> pelley: which is all you can do. >> abdurraham ghanim: yes. it wasn't enough, but what we could do? >> pelley: aleppo's underground hospitals were hard to destroy,

so assad tried to root them out by doubling down on his war crimes. we found two witnesses to this. dr. farida, who performs cesareans on wounded women and her husband, dr. abdulkhalek, an eye surgeon. >> dr. abdulkhalek: they couldn't destroy this building, so, they used a chemical weapon. in the last two days of the siege, we noticed the smell of chlorine. and we rushed all of the staff, all the patients, to the inner room in that basement. and during this time, many children came to our hospital, and we had just one remaining bottle of oxygen. so, we had to transfer the mask between the children, one small amount of oxygen for each other. >> pelley: no one died in the

chlorine attack, but the gas shut down the hospital for a time. now, more sophisticated underground hospitals are being built by the syrian-american medical society. in the countryside, they're excavating a cave to replace a regional hospital that serves more than 200,000 people. the operating rooms are where? the cave was already here. the limestone had eroded away over thousands of years. then the engineers came in. they cleared out the cave and they lowered this floor about six feet. when the hospital is finished, it will have three operating rooms, 12 inpatient beds, and a state-of-the-art emergency room. >> attar: this is much bigger than the basement i worked in, in aleppo. >> pelley: the syrian american medical society has spent more than $3.5 million on cave hospitals. the moneys come from private

donations and the united nations. >> fragments from the bomb. >> pelley: bomb fragments, the little white spots? for every life saved-- he's going to need several more surgeries? --there is a lifetime of recory. so the syrian-american medical society supports this hospital on the syrian border, inside turkey. it is a safe place for long-term healing. >> tamer ghanem: a lot of these patients had very severe injuries such as, you know, severe, very extensive burns. >> pelley: tamer ghanem is a surgeon from detroit who re-sculpts the disfigured. he volunteers, when he can get away, about a week at a time. >> tamer ghanem: one of the most important things is the face, is how people identify themselves. but there are also functional aspects to that, things like being able to open your mouth so you can get a spoon inside your mouth, so you can feed yourself. >> pelley: what can you do for these people?

>> tamer ghanem: it's very rare that one surgery would fix everything. some of the surgeries i cannot do here, just because of limitation of the equipment. some of these injuries are so horrific that, really, you're not able to rebuild the face back again with the tissues that that patient has. >> pelley: it must be frustrating for you to see these patients in so desperate a need, and you not being able to help them. >> tamer ghanem: yes, it's very hard. absolutely. >> pelley: especially the children. >> tamer ghanem: especially, i have my own children, and it's very difficult to see children, you know, with those injuries, and their parents, and how that affects them. >> pelley: one of those injured children in the turkish hospital was mohammad kament, the same boy from aleppo who asked american doctor samer attar for those robotic legs, three years ago. this was the first time they had seen each other since then. mohammad's prosthetics were

supplied by a new hampshire- based charity called "nu day syria." we asked mohammad what he wants to be, but we could have guessed. he wants to be an orthopedic surgeon. i'll bet you'll be a very good doctor. >> mohammad kament: thank you. >> pelley: you understand patients really well. >> kament: thank you. >> pelley: the syrian-american medical society says that, over six years of war, it has delivered 100,000 babies and supported almost 400,000 surgeries. >> attar: what's his name? >> pelley: why risk your life for this? >> attar: well, the syrian nurses, and the doctors, the rescue workers that i met, told me that they would rather risk their lives dying in syria, trying to save lives, than grow old comfortably from a distance, watching the world fall apart. and i thought, 20 years from

now, i didn't want to look back and say that i wasn't a part of that. >> pelley: the war against the hospitals is designed to break the will of the rebellion. but as long as some will fight for mercy, there is reason for all to hope. >> this cbs sports update is brought to you by ford. i'm james brown with scores from the n.f.l. today. tom brady threw four touchdowns as new england won its seventh straight. carolina scored 17 fourth-quarter points to ground the jets. buffalo snapped its three-game skid and proved back into the playoff picture. julio jones caught 12 patses for two scores. atlanta wins and philadelphia ran its league-best win streak to nine. for more sports news, go to cbssports.com. ♪ come on mom!

>> kroft: every now and then, just for the fun of it, we decide to go off to some obscure place that you've never heard of and are not likely to visit.

tonight, we're taking you to eigg, or the "people's republic of eigg," as it's jokingly referred to in scotland, a country where half the privately-held land is owned by fewer than 500 people. a lot of it is tied up in huge estates owned by lairds who often run them as fiefdoms. 20 years ago, after two centuries of servility, the people of eigg drove away their laird and seized control of their own destiny, establishing the first community-owned estate in scotland's history. we wanted to see what they've made of it. just three miles wide, six miles long and ten miles off the scottish coast, eigg is part of the inner hebrides, surrounded by the isles of rum, muck and skye at the edge of the north atlantic. it is an ungroomed masterpiece of nature, too wild to tame. a craggy isle of incredible beauty populated mostly by sheep, and the dogs that keep track of them.

the people do their best to stay clear, while taking everything in. so what's your average day like? >> charlie galli: some people would say very lazy. i like to think i just make the hard work look easy. all depends on your outlook. >> kroft: charlie galli is the taxi driver on eigg, and the only source of public transportation up and down the island's furrowed main artery. it's a niche he claimed for himself when he arrived from the mainland with his wife and this aging volvo four years ago. plenty of time to get the feel of the place. you know everybody on the island? >> galli: i know them and their shoe sizes, and like i say, there's no secrets on an island, so... >> kroft: so what are they talking about this week? >> galli: mainly you. ( bagpipes ) >> kroft: it's not like they don't get visitors. 12,000 tourists came here last year, most of them to spend only a few hours. there are very few places to stay.

we were going to be here for days, asking questions about eigg's quirky history, and everyone directed us to maggie fyffe, the island secretary, who landed here 41 years ago after touring afghanistan in a camper. >> maggie fyffe: i never imagined that i would spend the rest of my life here. >> kroft: does that mean you like it? >> fyffe: i think so, yeah. ( laughs ) >> kroft: it was 1976, just after the entire island had been purchased by a wealthy english toff named keith schellenberg, who became the seventh laird of eigg. >> keith schellenberg: welcome to eigg. >> kroft: under scotland's feudal landlord system, he had absolute power over virtually every aspect of his estate. what kind of impact did he have on people's lives? >> fyffe: he had that control over everything. and people, jobs, houses. and he wouldn't give anybody a lease on anything. >> kroft: by all accounts, schellenberg used the island as his personal playground, lavishly entertaining guests, and driving about in a 1927 rolls royce while most of his

tenants lived in poverty without electricity. was there a rebellion? >> fyffe: eventually, yep. ( laughs ) >> kroft: it started with a slow burn, that burst into flames one night in 1994, when schellenberg's beloved rolls royce met a fiery end, burnt to a crisp like a slice of bacon under circumstances still unexplained. >> fyffe: a mysterious fire, spontaneous combustion, who knows? >> kroft: so did you ever figure out what happened to the rolls royce? >> fyffe: no. >> kroft: headline writers all over britain couldn't believe their luck. there was "scrambled eigg," "burnt rolls," and "eigg comes to the boil." it went on for a year, until schellenberg gave up, expressing his disdain for the islanders in this bbc interview. >> schellenberg: i think that my ultimate failure with eigg is that i can't be bothered to try and get on with them anymore. >> kroft: his final act was to sell the island to a wacky
