>> pelley: louisiana is under a state of emergency tonight after intense storms dumped as much as three inches of rain an hour. livingston, louisiana, got 17 inches, and it's not over. at least one person is dead. there's more flooding in mississippi and alabama. omar villafranca is in amit city, louisiana. >> reporter: in tangipahoa parish, louisiana, rains flooded out businesses andnt neighborhoods. motorists abandoned their vehicles and homeowners were forced to evacuate. >> my house is completely flooded and i have never flooded before. >> reporter: emergency crews went after those who couldn't get out on their own, using boats and high-water vehicles to take stranded neighbors and pets to higher ground. residents chipped in. >> where is all this water supposed to go! >> reporter: but in baton rouge, the rising floorpts proved deadly. a 68-year-old man was killed

low-pressure system kind of acting like a paddle wheel sitting over louisiana, spinning and spinning and pulling if the gulf moisture and dumping it on top of louisiana. here's the problem-- it's like stuck in a traffic jam. it can't move forward. it can't move backwards. there are system on boabt sides of it. they have bikd up 10 inches in some shots. the spots shaded in yellow could pick up 8-12 inches of rain and that same low pressure system is pumping in the hot, moist air all the these are the feel-like temperatures from earlier today. felt like 113 in dallas, 105 in houston. >> pelley: i can hear the audience yelling, "when does this end?" >> that's probably the million-dollar question right there. i can tell you probably not any time soon. until the high pressure system exits, maybe not until the end of next week. >> pelley: lonnie quinn, thank you so much. today, can hillary clinton turned up the heat on donald

returns. she did it by releasing hers for 2015. here's chip reid. >> reporter: hillary and bill clinton filing jointly made about $10.7 million last year, most of it was speaking fees, it will 5.3 million for him, $1.5 million for her. she also got $3 million for her book, "hard choices" . their federal tax rate was 34.2%. they gave about $1 million to charity, almost all to clinton family foundation, which is separate from the controversial clinton foundation. but clinton didn't just release her taxes. she used them as a club to try to bludgeon donald trump into releasing his. it began yesterday in detroit. >> because he refuses to do what every other presidential candidate in decades has done and release his tax returns. >> reporter: the clinton campaign also released a video of republicans criticizing

because presumably there's something in there that is bad. >> reporter: trump said last night on fox news he's being audited and has no choice. >>un, when you're under a routine audit, you don't give out your tax return. >> reporter: the i.r.s., though, says candidates may release their tax returns, even while undergoing an audit. trump campaign put out a statement today responding to clinton. scott, it resident in part, "hillary clinton has turned over the the only records nobody wants to see f the 33,000 e-mails she deleted to obstruct an f.b.i. investigation." >> pelley: chip reid, thank you. well, trump was in a battleground state today where the republican party rushed in reinforcements. here's dean reynolds. >> reporter: in a bid to dispel persistent talk of disunity in republican ranks, this afternoon, party chairman reince priebus introduced donald trump in pennsylvania.

donald trump, the republican party, all of you, we're going to put him in the white house and save this country together! >> reporter: but the surprise onstage embrace came amid plenty of backstage bickering between trump forces and the republican national committee discord that must end for trump to have a chance in this state and elsewhere. >> the republicans do have a tougher pact. just so you-- not my fault. not my fault. it's a tougher pabt. >> reporter: thefi the almost daily controversies spawned by the candidate's own words. the latest? >> i call president obama and hillary clinton the founders of isis. >> reporter: trump repeated the false charge several times yesterday, and with a straight face. but today, he denounced reporters for taking him literally. >> obviously, i'm being sarcastic. then, then-- but not that sarcastic, to be honest with you. but now they're analyzing.

>> reporter: scott, mr. trump is on stage right behind me. and you know, he tends to get into trouble when he veers off message and starts attacking his perceived enemies. but he will have little room for improvisation on monday when he goes to ohio to deliver a marriage speech outlining his policy to combat terrorism. >> pelley: another battleground state. dean reynolds, thanks. well, with 88 day, clinton has about an eight-point lead, on average, in national polls. but the election is not decided by the popular vote. it's about winning enough states to get 270 electeral votes. and there, if the election were held today, clinton would have a massive advantage. most states are either reliably republican or reliably democratic. anthony salvanto, our director of elections, is here to tell us about the 11 states that could

look at those state. we call them the battlegrounds because they're usually the closest, most contested. these go across the country here from nevada, colorado, all the way out to pennsylvania, virginia, and, of course, we always talk about ohio and florida. will will well, if you look at the polling leads that hillary clinton now has, even in some of theses states-- and we'll light them up in blue to show you-- she would today have enough electoral votes across those states to get ove she needs to get elected. >> pelley: what could trump do to turn this around? >> well, his path is in danger of getting very narrow. let me show you. let's suppose donald trump were to win florida and ohio. we'll light those up in red. that still wouldn't get him enough to go over the 270 that he needs. he would also have to flip, let's say, pennsylvania, a state that he was in today, to get him over that magic number, which tells you, scott, that he still

him. >> pelley: a tough hill to climb. anthony salvanto, our director of elections, thanks so much. well, the next president will be facing syria's civil war where 400,000 people have been killed. tonight, in syria's largest city, aleppo, rebels are holding out under syrian government and russian air strikes. but civilians are being slaughtered. debora patta is inside syria. the images in her r hard to watch but should be seen. >> reporter: over a dozen reported dead in rebel-held aleppo today. just another statistic in the country's five-year civil war. but for the villagers of al hayan on the outskirts of the city, these victims were not numbers. they were mothers, sisters, and as always, children. in video footage posted online today, this rescue worker plucks

body. injured children are taken to the few remaining medical facilities in rebel-control aleppo, but instead of being safe havens, they have become targets. just 24 hours after the last remaining doctors wrote to president obama for help, this children's hospital was hit in an air strike. the equipment was smashed, services all but demolished. this was the only children's hospital in the area. in facility is attacked every 17 hours, say doctors, and so the statistics mount. in aleppo, there is always someone who has to deliver the worst possible news. here in damascus, scott, there was no mention of these incidents anywhere on state-run media and no syrian government official would talk to us about the hospital bombing, not even to deny it. >> pelley: debora patta in the

thank you. today, the national transportation safety board said it may now hold the answers to a bermuda triangle mystery. after months of searching, the voyage data recorder from the american cargo ship "elpharaoh, "is in a lab for analysis. el faro, and its crew of 33, were lost last fall. the data recorder in this black box should contain the cosa bridge crew in their final hours. the safety board's brian curtis says the the recorder is in good shape. >> we owe it to those who perished, the families and loved ones, to learn all we can from this tragedy. >> pelley: last october, off the bahamass, the cargo ship sailed into hurricane joaquin, with winds close to 130 miles per hour, and 30-foot seas. in a story for "60 minutes," we joined the search aboard the u.s. navy ship "apache," with

what do we know from the captain's last report? >> we know he had lost propulsion, that the engineers were unable to restart the main engine. >> pelley: the the "apache" crew discovered the el pharaoh" at the 23,000 feet. the bridge and crew quarters had been sheered away. >> just to see the violence of the the sea and the winds that would have had to occur to cause that kind to cause that kind of an event. >> pelley: because, certainly, there would have been people on the bridge. >> yes. >> pelley: when that happened? >> yes. quite certainly. >> pelley: that event was so violent, the data recorder was nowhere near the ship. the safety board believes it will take weeks to extract all of its information. coming up next on the cbs

reporting more cases of mosquito-born zika virus every day. there were three more today, making 28 so far. one of the patients today is located outside the one-square-mile area of miami where the mosquito transmission dr. jon lapook is here with us. jon, does that mean the virus is getting outside that containment zone? >> reporter: well, the virus may be getting outside it, the but the question is, are mosquitos outside that zone infected with zika? and that's the big question. so far-- i just spoke to the daelg, a representative in florida, and she said there's no evidence of any spread, active spread of the virus outside of that wynwood area. but when you see these little one-offs, people here and people

got infected within that zika zone so-called and then traveled or are there now local mosquitos somewhere else that have the zika virus? >> there is important news on zika coming out of puerto rico this evening. evening. >> reporter: right, you know, scott puerto rico is being devastated by the zika infection and the united states government is declare a public health emergency. just this week, there were nearly 2,000 new caeses reported which would bring the total to over 10,000. the u.s. surgeon general was end of the year, one in four people there will have the virus. so declaring it a public health emergency would allow emergency funds and other resources to be allocated to that area. >> pelley: dr. jon lapook, thanks. coming up, soaring simone. hey marc, how you feelin'? don't ask.

>> reporter: she soared off the vault, was a boss on the the beam, and simply owned the floor. by the the time 19-year-old simone biles was through, she was officially what everybody already knew she was-- the best gymnast in the world. >> i was composed until i saw, like, my score, and then it finally hit me that i had done it, and then i lost it. it's, like, everything tha paid off, and it's all been worth it. >> reporter: she won by the largest margin in 50 years, in part due to this move in the floor exercise, now known simply as "the biles." >> what she does on the floor is absolutely incredible. >> reporter: shannon miller has won more olympic medals than any other american gymnast. >> when we talk about simone biles being the greatest, if not the greatest female gymnast ever, we're talking about her

difficult skills because she just kind blows the rest of the world out of the water. >> reporter: in the water, another simone made history. >> there is a tie for gold! >> reporter: simone manuel seemed as surprised as everyone else when she won the gold and set a world record in the 100-meter freestyle. she is the first african american woman to win an individual medal in swimming. the 20-year-old texan is a student at stanford but was only fo length of a pool. manuel hopes to be the first of many in a sport that currently has few people of color. >> i feel like people are becoming more aware of the sport and saying, "oh, we can do this, too." so i think seeing people like them will get them sparked into trying something new. >> reporter: simone manuel swims again tonight in the 50-meter freestyle. as for simone biles, well, she has three more events left here

to add to the two that she already has. >> pelley: ben tracy at the games for us. ben, thanks very much. but no gold for u.s. women in soccer. in the quarter finals today, it was 1-1 at the final whistle, so it came down to penalties and sweden won 4-3. it was an agonizing loss for the four-time olympic champions. kids from different places travel the same road. steve hartman is next. allergies distracting you? when your symptoms start... doctors recommend taking ...non-drowsy claritin every day of your allergy season. claritin provides powerful, non-drowsy 24 hour relief... for fewer interruptions from the amazing things you do every day.

>> i miss him because he's my dad. i might not have met him in person, but he's always with me. >> reporter: over the years, james wanted to mourn but says he couldn't really, partly because his friends at home, while well intentioned, weren't saying the right things. >> at school, when father's day passes, that's a big deal. and everyone's making little father's day cards, and a little sad. and they say, "i know how you feel." >> reporter: but it's not same. >> it's not same. and here, i get to cry and they can say, "i know how you feel," and i know they know how i feel. and that's a great feeling. >> reporter: for many of the kids, this is their first chance to just let it out. to help in that effort, they do a balloon release where campers write messages to their loved
