i don't know that there is any great result for anybody. >> unfortunately, we are still living in a culture that is very passive towards this crime and still, in many respects, blames the victim. >> reporter: the case is drawing comparisons to the recent sexual assault conviction and controversial sentencing of former stanford university student brock turner. lori levinson notes that probation was recommended in both cases. >> there are many similarities here and i think the judge in both of the cases were focused mon crime itself. >> reporter: brock turner is set to be released early next month after three months of a six-month sentence. as for wilkerson, he was reportedly taken into custody after wednesday's sentencing. >> vlad, thank you. one europe's dream in rio may be cut short because she has become sick. as we showed you months ago, let's go back to ben tracy in rio.

hospitals. >> almost half of it goes into our water body and definitely it goes to the bay and then to the beaches. >> reporter: and that is essentially like just flushing the toilet into the water? >> yes. >> reporter: in order to get the olympics, rio promised to install eight treatment plants on the polluted rivers entering guanabara bay. it built one. it promised to treat 80% of the treating just about half. those broken promises may cost avi van ekker an olympic medal. >> she had fears. yesterday evening, she was emotional because she worked so very hard for it. >> reporter: rio olympic officials are calling this sailor's case an isolated incident. the state environmental department here in rio is testing the water quality every day. they say that it's good, even safe enough to swim in, but when we ask for the test results,

gayle? >> a little bit of a cliffhanger. >> i did a story this year on an olympian kayaker who was seriously not going because of the water conditions and in the end, she decided she is going to go. but i know it's been a big point of discussion for a lot of folks. >> it seems like same with zika. it's horrible that these athletes even have to weigh these two things, competing, the cream dream of your life and in something called poop olympics. >> listen to this, a shark that can live up to 400 years old. wow. how scientists learn their age by looking deep into their eyes. if you're heading out the door, we get it, it's friday but don't leave us behind. watch us live through the cbs all-access app on your digital device because with we know you don't. want to miss a spectacular nighttime show from the grand canyon. a view most of us have never, ever seen before. >> good.

by looking deep into their eyes. the lens is made up of proteins that build up over time, using radio carbon dating they were able to count them out like rings on a tree. they estimated the largest shark was most likely 392 years old, give or take 120 years. dr. david agus said they found one important time stamp. >> they could see carbon initially going to the 1960s when nuclear bombs were being could see the radiation in the eyes there and we can go deeper and estimate that it's 300 to 400 years when these sharks were actually born. >> reporter: that is before george washington was but a twinkle in his father's eye. in fact, around the same time the actual galileo started staring up at the stars. sure, the clam lived to 507 before scientists killed it, finding out how old it was but

into the 11:00 news tonight. saturday it's not a washout. it's hot and uncomfortable with a few stray showers. i think ultimately there will be more coverage of the rain sound. staying hot with highs again in the 90s. >> giants at the meadows lands tonight too. i'm chris wragge with another local update in 25 minutes. cbs this morning returns right after this. there's something out there.

? happy friday to you! it is friday, august 12th, 2016. welcome back to "cbs this morning.? there is more real news ahead, including the search for the truth in this presidential race. a founder of politico facts wrong. first, here's a look at today's "eye opener" at 8:00. the jetblue air bus 8320 was in the air 3 and a half hours when crew members were forced to land the plane. >> donald trump hoping to rally diseffective blue collar workers to side without alienating others. >> hillary clinton attacked donald trump on a range of issues which she says would benefit people like donald trump. >> thomas was killed right about

said a man said he fired in self-defense. >> a child was ejected on the last turn and highest point of a roller coaster. >> they got a closer look at the eyes of a shark. >> for them, a normal life. >> if we can learn from these out liers, hopefully we can all learn. >> who will tell dr. david agus he doesn't need to wear a sweater at the beach? >> i think you >> everybody was upstaged by this relatively known swimmer who made history, not once, but twice. >> the united states is killing it at the olympics. olympic athletes are bringing home so much gold, they have to get the columbia weight-lifting team to carry it all for them to the airport!

sarcastic when he said that president obama and hillary clinton founded isis. trump blasted critics with a tweet a few hours ago saying, in part, quote, they don't get sarcasm? over the last two days, trump repeatedly called the president the founder of isis. conservative radio host hugh hewitt gave him a chance to clarify his comments. trump stressed he meant what he said. >> look. i know what you meant. you meant he create the vacuum and lost the peace. >> no. i meant he is the founder of isis. i give him that award and her too. >> he is not sympathetic to them and hates them and trying to kill them. >> he is the founder. the way he got out of the iraq that was the founding of isis. >> trump argues that isis exploited the withdrawal of u.s. troops in iraq in 2011. he ignores the fact that president obama didn't set that date. in 2008 then president george w. bush negotiated a deal with iraq to remove all forces by the end of 2011.

he would end the iraq war. in trump said in 2008 the u.s. should declare victory and leave. >> donald trump is not the only person on the campaign trail having trouble with facts. colon and trump are keeping fact checking people busy. all of the things you're about to hear are not true. >> hillary clinton wants to essentially abolish the second amendment. >> we have the m world. far none. >> she actually said outloud we are going to raise taxes on the middle class. >> the thing that has amazed me is the depth of the trash talking of latinos, saying that all mexicans are rapists and going after latino immigrants. >> the obama-clinton war has could have had 50,000 jobs.

testimony was consistent and i have told the american people. that there were decisions discussed and made to retroactively classify the e-mails. >> joining us is bill adair and a duke professor and joins us from charlie rose country in raleigh, north carolina. good to see you. >> good morning, gayle. >> you just heard the montage we before we get into specifics, how does this season compare to political seasons in the past in terms of factually challenged statements, if you will? >> well, it's been crazy busy for us at politifact. the magnitude of the claims and the magnitude of the falsehoods is remarkable and i think it reflects how the media has changed and so many more ways now that candidates can get their messages out without the

that allows them to say things that often aren't true. >> donald trump says that he was being sarcastic with his latest comment. does that exempt him from the fact or fiction test? >> i'll tell you, we had originally rated his claim pants on fire, which is our lowest rating, the rating we use for falsehoods that are not just false, but ridiculously false. but, you know, it's really been used for several days now. he doubled-down on it yesterday as you noted in the interview with hugh hewitt and now he claims he was being sarcastic. it's just truly remarkable. i think we need a new rating on our truth meter for this. >> you're talking about the claim that he had that barack obama and hillary clinton founded isis. our john dickerson says it's statements like that that trump is baiting the fact checkers like you to keep the conversation going.

>> well, i think it is remarkable that he wants to keep the conversation going, particularly when i can't imagine that any communications strategist would say it makes sense. i mean, he is getting fact checkers and other journalists to point out again and again that his statements are false, and it just makes no -- it doesn't make a lot of sense. is he baiting fact checkers? you know, i think there is definitely everybody. >> but, bill, i mean, is there some point to the notion that the checking system need to be refined at all when somebody says the sky is not blue? i mean, is there a need to fact check that? >> well, we are selective in what we fact check at politifact. we will fact check claims where people wonder and, really, is that true? i think with the claim that president obama and hillary

it's legitimate -- you know, people hear that and say really, what role did that he play? we looked into it and we found that isis was actually founded in 2004, so four years before barack obama was elected, and those are the kind of things we fact check. it's not like we are social scientists. we are journalists and we are trying to satisfy our readers and viewers' curiosity. >> hillary clinton is not immune. a recently poll say that hillary clinton is dishonest. how does she stand up against the fact checking and that percentage as well? >> you know, it's interesting. her percentage of false and pants on fire ratings is about the same as other american politicians. i think it's 13%. by contrast, trump is at 55%. but i think what has happened with secretary clinton is that

you played earlier, you know, there was one where she repeated something she had said before that the fact checkers had said was false and people remember those big moments. >> bill, good luck keeping up with them the next three months. >> you're going to be busy! >> we are. >> thank you for your time. the gold rush continues for the united states in rio. michael phelps earned gold in the 200-meter individual medley in rio yesterday and his fourth gold in rio and the 22ndf 16-year olympic career. simone manuel was considered a long shot but she shared gold in the 100-meter freestyle and the first black female swimmer to strike gold in an olympic swimming event. >> 19-year-old gymnast simone biles made her own headline and earned the gold medal in the individual all-around and earned the highest score on vault. there is one vault, even the world's top gymnast, will not perform.

with details on the death defying stunt. good morning. >> sorry, guys. we are trying to keep it together out here this morning. it's not as impressive as those gymnasts. their skills pretty much all of them are amazing. but there is one move you were talking about called the vault of death that only a number of athletes have landed. vaulting begins with a sprint. then the launch. followed by flips, twist and a spin. simone biles may take the occasionally step, but from the start, she is a step ahead of the competition. seven-time olympic medalist shannon miller. >> i think simone, whether she wins five gold medals or what not, i think what makes her so dominant is her difficulty. >> reporter: despite all of those skills, one move is on so difficult that biles won't try

death. it was first landed in 1999. this egyptian gymnast tried it in 2014 and nearly avoided serious injures. in rio, two are expected to attempt it. indian gymnast car is only one of five women to successfully land it. pubata is another. a 41-year-old mom and two-time olympic uzbekistan. they launch themselves into two and a half somersaults forward and ideally landing on her feet. >> it's one of those skills you're either on or you're injured. if you're on or off. >> reporter: tyler watts was a member of the fierce five who won team gold in london. >> i think the biggest challenge of this vault is getting enough

when even one detail is off, it could mean disaster. >> you have to practice it every day and that could be so tolling on your body and that is where you risk injury. >> reporter: a french gymnast broke his leg last weekend in qualifying. or a gymnast flopped and crashed here. after the horse's height was set too low at the 2000 sydney games. but when it works, this twist and bend through the air and still stick a landing. >> it just gets better. >> reporter: sunday night's vault final is the first of four individual finals for the women. simone biles will compete in three of those. so at the end of next week, she could have five gold medals. gayle? >> oh, and we hope she gets all five of them! hold on to the umbrella! that is one of those videos you watch, where you go, ow! i don't want to go anything that has death in it but good luck to them on sunday night.

with thank you again. a shake-up at macy's. 1 in 7 macy's stores will close. ahead, what is behind the new strategy and why it means tgif, it is friday, but it is still hot. it's the heat and humidity combining to drive the real feel numbers in excess of 100 to possibly 105 degrees today, hanging on to the heat sunday. you really need to pace yourself all weekend long. that said, with those ingredients in the atmosphere, the lift, the moisture and the instability, potential for big storms each and every day. announcer: this portion of "cbs this morning" sponsored by

square and mazys shares rose 17% after the announcement but stock has tumbled 17% of the past year. aaron, good morning. >> good morning. >> here is the ceo who is considered the legend in the retail business. he's had to make some really difficult decisions and people still say macy's ain't what it used to be. what has happened to the stores? >> the short answer what happens to macy is amazon.com has happened to macy's. it's not the same e macy's when we were kid. it was a place to go to. it was glamorous. a place you wanted to go. now it's kind of a scrum. if i try to buy a men's shirt like this there is 17 places i can use. you walk into the men's department where they have shirts and the maryland is packed toget -- merchandise is all packed together. >> that matters to people. >> especially when you can get it cheaper online.

kohl's is out there and t.j. max. if i'm thinking about price that is where i'm going to go. when i go to macy's i don't necessarily think about price but if they don't have the right price i'm not buying it there. the segment vault of the death. macy's is facing a very similar challenge, right? they got pressure from all side. >> you mentioned amazon in that online component. how do these department stores get people back into the actual store? >> that goes to the quote that you what terry lundgren and jeff jeanette are seeing they are taking some of the money and saving from closing these stores and the stores that they are keeping, they are going to revest in them and make it a better customer experience and that may include from getting the maryland better to doing new things they don't have at macy's right now. urban outfitters, the retailer, a couple of years ago they bought a pizzeria. you think if i'm a young kid and

maybe i go to outfitters. >> there is something to be said for going into the store and trying something on and experiencing it. do you know what i mean? ? >> i know. you and i talked about that. i have that too. >> i don't know if it's going to fit or whatever. there is an opportunity here one would think. >> there is an opportunity for a certain generation of millennials, they grew up shopping online and all they know. to get them in the store you you can touch and feel the merchandise. that feels to me. i'm not that kind of guy because i want to put it on and make sure it fits on if i buy it because it's a half if i buy it on online. the kid, not how they shop. you have to give them another reason to come to the store. >> back to dana's point about amazon. recently they announced that they are taking over jet and lease a cargo plane to get the merchandise out. how in the world do you compete? the word is they will eventually

already. >> they are a gahuge force. the cargo jet is another way of them saying i'm going to shop anywhere. >> thank you, aaron. ahead, president obama drops his list of favorite songs. or preservative ingredients. and with 70 calories... maybe we're kind of bragging? new light & fit. what i love about the tempur-breeze bed it's cool. so you're not too hot, too cold, you're just perfect. sleep cooler, wake more refreshed, discover the new tempur breeze. learn how you can change your sleep by requesting a free sample of tempur material. call or click today. when this busy family... ...got a cracked windshield... ...their dad went to the new safelite-dot-com... ...and scheduled a replacement... ...in just a few clicks. with safelite you don't have to miss a thing. y'all did wonderful! thank you.

night. she made history twice. it's not just that she was the first black female swimmer to win a gold medal, she also broke an olympic record. so she was not even expected to medal and, all of a sudden, she comes out of nowhere and ties for the gold and setting the olympic record and making a real historic moment and it was something to see. a great olympic moment for team usa in these games. >> reporter: let's talk about michael phelps. it was a big showdown between him and ryan lochte last he was amazing to watch last pn. >> reporter: he was. a 31-year-old is not supposed to be this good in a swimming pool but michael phelps has come back to the olympics and he is just tearing it up. i think what people are talking about not so much that michael phelps won but a lot of people are talking about the fact that ryan lochte didn't even win a medal. going into this, it was all about about the duel in the pool and these two guys going neck-to-neck for gold. after that, it was kind of disappointing to hear ryan lochte.

some time off from swimming to regroup after this. >> maybe it was the green hair? i don't know. >> the chlorine effect? >> exactly what is in the pool. >> loaded him down with that hair dye. >> not to be outdone. the coronation is complete for simone biles as well. she won the women's all-around in gymnastics yesterday which was fun to watch after the americans were so dominant as a team. what is the opinion there and what is on tap for next w gymnastics? >> reporter: she proved, once again, she is the best gymnast in the world. and it was pretty cool to see her win that. just the emotion on her face. and her family. it was quite a moment. one of our producers in rio was actually at a bar around the corner from where we are staying while that was happening and he was telling us that the brazilians, the local folks in the neighborhood, were riveted sitting there watching that on television and cheering for her. so she has a lot of fans here that she probably doesn't even

moment. >> everybody loves her. i want to know the name of that producer who was at the bar. >> reporter: it starts with chris. >> do you feel concerned about zika there, ben? >> reporter: it's funny. everybody asks me about sglzikad my response is of all the concerns in rio that is probably the smallest one. it is winter here. you can see most mornings, i've been wearing a society. it's rainy and cold today. really is not that large. and the brazilians have been trying to tell everybody that all along, saying, hey, guys, like this is not as big of an issue as you're making it out to be. and i think they are probably right about that. you just don't see that many mosquitoes. now that being said, if you happen to get bitten by a mosquito that is carrying it and you get zika, that is a serious issue and nothing to take lightly. >> ben tracy and the aforementioned chris, great work

from august 25th to september 5th in syracuse, new york. order tickets before opening day for just $6. it's all here, it's only here. at the great new york state fair! i have asthma... ...one of many pieces in my life. so when my asthma symptoms kept coming back on my long-term control medicine. i talked to my doctor and found a missing piece in my asthma treatment with breo. once-daily breo prevents asthma symptoms. breo is for adults with asthma not well controlled on a long-term asthma control medicine, breo won't replace a rescue inhaler for sudden breathing problems. breo opens up airways to help improve breathing for a full 24 hours. breo contains a type of medicine that increases the risk of death from asthma problems and may increase the risk of hospitalization in children and adolescents. breo is not for people whose asthma is well controlled on a long-term asthma control medicine, like an inhaled corticosteroid. once your asthma is well controlled, your doctor will decide if you can stop breo and prescribe a different asthma control medicine,

your doctor if your asthma does not improve or gets worse. ask your doctor if 24-hour breo could be a missing piece for you. see if you're eligible for

remember shower lit up the sky overnight last night. the international dark sky association is to protect the natural sky from man-made glare and it lead to a designation of dark sky. this summer the grand canyon became the most famous park to earn this distinction. with its red rocks and roaming seeing the park this way is only half the story. as we watch astronomers gather for a star party. high high-powered telescopes set up. it's an event historic this summer because the grand canyon was just named the newest park to be certified as dark sky.

every single light in this park? >> yes. many of which the people didn't know it existed here. >> reporter: it is a big deal? >> it is a big deal. you're talking about one of the most well-known national parks in the world and now to have added something like this is a huge accomplishment for this park. we are very excited. >> reporter: as evening faded over the park, we began to see, firsthand, why the project was so important. >> now you're really starting to get the full effect of what it's like to be out here at >> reporter: as the last clouds cleared, the night sky emerged. the moon, mars, jupiter, beyond that, brilliant star clusters and the unmistakable glow of our galaxy, the mickey w milky way. >> two-thirds of the people are not able to see the milky way and twoired of the people have never seen the milky way. >> reporter: why is it so important to protect these guys? >> this connects us to something in our past that we are

that is the sense of common humanity that we had in the era before internet and before radio and television, when we sat outside under the stars at night and we told our stories. >> reporter: living in or near a city, you will never see skies like this. it is both inspiring and humbling, and we can show you what it looks like on camera, but it's worth seeing in person. >> wow! awesome! >> you guys want to see this? >> reporter: amateur marinea. what is it about looking up? >> reminds us how small we are. >> reporter: this resonates? >> definitely. i'm from the phoenix area, so we have extreme light pollution there. it's a big city. there is lights everywhere. you can't really see much out, even in the suburbs, and when you come out here and you can just look up and see the milky way and these incredible stars, we should turn off our lights more often. >> reporter: getting named dark

five years in total to complete. somebody had to go and locate every single light in the park? >> yes. >> reporter: ranger raider lane showed us why so many of the 5,000 lights in the park have to be replaced. these new lights are good. they only shine light where needed but the majority of lights cast too big a glare. this is a quintessential example of a bad light? >> terrible light right here. so first of all, you might notice the milky way is gone. it's not above us right now. anything. you see a couple of stars. >> one, two, that is probably a plane. it's all gone. we are within the sky glow right now. these are lights that we are going to work on retrofitting and making more night sky friendly. >> reporter: at the star party, we learned that even the smallest amount of light can ruin your view of the night's sky. at star parties, there are no white lights allowed. it's just these red ones. that is because if you see a white light, your eyes will reset and it takes then another

that means no looking at your phone and certainly no camera flashes. astronomers and tourists took in views that are timeless and, for many, fast fading. john ballentine hopes the grand canyon's dark sky sort of certification serves as an inspiration around the world. >> there is something so intimately connects us to the nature and universe by being out under a starry sky. if i have to have a kid in america or even around the world would be able to experience that. somebody that comes from a place that is light polluted, it's really life changing. >> stunning. stunning. >> beautiful. there is nothing like sitting under a clear night sky and taking it in. and beyond just the beauty of it. it's the energy that is saved. the money that is saved by using the right kind of light. it's what it does for the

a -- nocturnal. it's a win/win all the way around. you try to fight aeir pollution or water pollution it takes a while to clean up. with light pollution, you fix the light, it's fixed right away. >> another reason to go to the grand canyon. i was there a couple of weeks ago but i never look up. i was so busy looking at the rocks. next week a look at all that mattered this week. you're watching "cbs this morning." ??
