Hurricane irma left a trail of destruction through florida that could take weeks or even longer to recover from. But before it hit the sunshine state, irma laid waste to several islands in the caribbean. One of them is st. John in the u. S. Virgin island. Tony dokoupil paid a visit and filed this report f san juan puerto rico. San juan has become a life line between here and the u. S. Virgin island. We followed that life line to st. John where, well, it looks like, winter. It is not a lush Tropical Island now. Everything is brown. And the damage is nearly atomic. At cruz bay which should be bustling with tourist there is very little stirring after most of the island evacuated. Take a look. We need to let everybody know how bad it is here. Tommy young moved from boston and made coral bay st. John his home in 2007. Were on the other side of the island. Totally devastated. We lost homes, we lost roofs, vehicles. What does your home look like . Of awe it is gone. Yeah, gone. Irma hit the Virgin Islands as category 5 hurricane. With 150 mile an hour wind. The storm changed the 20 square mile landscape of st. John, stripping the leaves off trees. And making the hillside look charred. As we sailed into the islands largest town, cruz bay, we saw that even the u. S. Customs office was a total loss. It is a ghost town in an area that would typically be bustling with tourists. Everything is still with the exception of, construction, aid workers, and, and, recently, members of the u. S. Navy. Who are here now to restore order. Nearly every building on the island is damaged or destroyed. And this is what an advanced team from fema saw tuesday. As they surveyed the island for a command post. You are sure there is nothing on the island other than the room right here. This is the only building left standing that will be usable. Dead serious. Roughly 5,000 people live on st. John. An island in american hand for 100 years. You live here. Your island. It is your island also. Your home. Guess what. We have no going to take them. We are down, but not out. Tommy young, told me he is grateful. Even if his next steps are unclear. We are, there are people, like, myself, who have lost everything. The clothes on my back are from others. These are borrowed. Yeah. Whats it going to take for you to got on your feet for your island to get back on your feet. Lots of prayers. You know, just some time. Lots of healing. Now, there is good news, you saw the navy is there now. Feela fema on the ground now. Ferries armed with guard to make sure resources get where they. From saint thomas to st. John. No matter how you cut it. Look at it. This is a recovery measured in years. But we heard again and again. A recovery will come. Paradise will be back. After its deadly trek through the caribbean, irma made landfall in the florida keys and then again on marco island. Carter evans took to the sky with the u. S. Coast guard to get a look at the damage. He reports now from the coast guard station, in clear water. We flew about 150 miles south with the coast guard to marco island. We spent hours in the air, surveying the damage. Our pilots were surprised by some of what they saw and so were we. A lot of stuff down over here. Right below us. From 500 feet in the air, the area around marco island looks like a disaster zone. Heavy rains turned this neighborhood of mobile homes into a lake. Looks like there is a boat lift or something. Oh, yeah, there is some destroyed houses. We surveyed the area with members of the u. S. Coast guard two days after irma made landfall as a category 3 storm. 135 mile per hour wind. Ripped off roof tiles and siding from homes. Right here about 1 00. These these, decks on the house. Collapsed. Protective screens around pools, completely buckled. And a powerful storm surge crushed docks along the water. Take a look at the homes and streets down here. It looks deserted. It pretty much is. But authorities are beginning to allow residents to come back. There is a strict curfew though. Residents are being asked to stay inside their homes during the day. A bunch of people at the house. Just waving are they. Yeah, look all right. Emergency crews can access the area. Knocked over on that building too. That new construction. Right there. Wow, yep. Along the coastline. Damage and sinking boats, docked the mangrove channels. Big catamaran. The coast guard next job will be helping to clear them out and ensuring safe passage. The cbs overnight news will be right back.

So lets be clear clearasil works fast on teen acne, not so much on other teen things. The latest in the battle against cancer, centers on immuno therapy uses the bodys defenses to kilt tumors. Most of those treatments are experimental and often have no effect at all. But they do offer hope. And some times, they actually work. Dr. Jon lapook reports. The 12yearold will tell you what happened to her seems like a miracle. And youre feeling what . Feeling great. I feel like i could do anything. Back when she was just 9, feeling weak, dizzy, she was taken to a hospital on long island where doctors gave her a diagnosis she barely understood. Leukemia. Am i going to die . Am i going to live . And, am i going to be able to do the stuff i did before . 98 of children with this form of cancer respond well to chemotherapy. Her dr. Started there. After four brutal round. Her cancer was getting worse. It was very scary. And natural reaction is to think why me . A uhhuh. What did i do bad . So that god could give me this punishment . Desperate and out of options, she had one last chance. She was enrolled in a Clinical Trial at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in manhattan, for an expeer mental treatment called cart. How is everything . How are you feeling . Good. Reporter after six weeks, the doctor, Pediatric Oncologist who treats her couldnt find a single leukemia cell. Not one. What did you think . I thought this worked. In a patient who basically ten years ago would have been told, there is nothing we can do. Yes. She is healthy. Just a little puffy from steroids. Because of a promising new frontier in the war on cancer. Immunotherapy using a patients immune system to find and kill cancer cells. One of the Biggest Challenges in fighting cancer has been that cancer cells find ways of becoming invisible to the bodys defenses. And the immune system cant kill what it cant see. So, doctors in essence taught her immune system to see. They took billions of her white blood cells, cells that normally are good at destroying invaders like bacteria and viruses, but bad at fighting cancer. And turn them into cancer killers. We can take the cells out of the body. Genetically modify them, teach them how to fight cancer. And then infuse them back into the patient. Like theyre bloodhound. Give them the scent of the cancer. You say go. Traditional therapies like chemoand radiation damage healthier to along with cancer cells. The hope is, immunotherapy will be targeted and better at sparing tissue. There have been serious side effects. Even death. Once we knew it could work, we have been working around the clock. Dr. Steven rosenberg has been a pioneer in the field of immunotherapy at the National Cancer institute for more than four decades. In 1994, the first doctor to cure a dying patient using her own immune system. So these are immune cells. But he will also be the first to till you that all these years latder, immunotherapy is still in its infancy. We have gotten to the point now where i think we understand, why the, why the patient who are successfully treat the, experience tumor regression. And based on that knowledge. I think we are going to see, dramatic progress. And, in the next, next few years to come. But most patients dont have years to wait. Lungs are some what compromised. Like 29yearold, who has a sarcoma, cancer in the connective tissue near his spine that has spread to his lungs. Now, normal lung would be black. These are all abnormal tumors. Every one of these. He maz many hundreds of different different tumors that are in his lungs. He has been through two rounds of chemotherapy, and multiple surgery. He came to us as, do, all of our patients, having exhausted what modern medicine can can offer. And, our goal is not to practice, todays medicine. But to create the medicine of tomorrow. And that, rosenberg, believes would be immunotherapy. Just as was done with him, his blood cells were taught to recognize his cancer type. A month later, barack gets back his juiced up cells. 90 billion of them put into battle. You can just iffage in the cells, chewing up the tumor when they go in there. Definitely feeling hopeful. I mean, you draw the lottery. And actually be part of this trial. It is just, an incredible opportunity, in itself. Now he is waiting to see if those cells, did their job. The highly personalized treatment that patients like barack and ezzie received is available in Clinical Trials. But there as it nother tie it of immunotherapy in hospitals across the country. Fda approved drugs called check point inhibitors are being used to fight cancers of the kidney, bladder, lungs, and more. With especially positive results for melanoma. While effective treatment for widespread, or met static cancer remains elusive, doctors are hopeful theyre at least on the right path. Right now, in the spectrum of cancer treatment, what percentage can be addressed by immunotherapy. If you look at all cancer patients. Perhaps, 10 , can be helped by immunotherapy today. But it is Getting Better every day. Last tuesday, he returned to the National Cancer ins tult for a first checkup since receiving his cell transfusion five weeks earlier. Decided comfort in terms of i have done everything i can. Good to see you. Just hoping that we get results we are seeking in this. So we have gone over the x rays very carefully. We compared them to the x rays that you had before we started the treatment. There was as you know, rapid growth of the tumor. But thats been completely arrested now. The current xrays are absolutely stable. There is no evidence of any growth. Of any lesions. So, thats good news. Now we want to see these tumors go away. But some times that takes time. Cancer patients deserve optimistic doctors. So, im optimistic. For now, patients like ezzie remain the exception. But the doctors are hopeful and continue off to explore the boundaries of the new frontier. One previously incurable patient at a time. So you are lying in bed at night. Whats going through your head . That, that the good thing is that, im still alive. That, that, i could live a normal laf agaife again. I will be more apples iphones are getting mixed reviews. It unveiled the top of the line iphone x. Packed with computer wizardry. Critics contend the biggest riff re difference from earlier iphones is the price. John blackstone is outside apples headquarters in california. The lobby to steve jobs theater high tech as the companys iphone x, preorders begin early next month. The new phone features racial recognition, wireless charging, and of course, takes better pictures, but is all that worth the hefty price tag . Inside, it is sleek new steve jobs theater apple was looking to score a perfect ten. One decade after the first iphone. The company unveiled the iphone 10. It is the biggest leap forward since the original iphone. The phone is unlocked using facial recognition instead of a fingerprint. Apple eliminated the home button creating a larger edge to edge screen. And, the phone is now designed for wireless charging. But some experts question whether the innovations go far enough. The iphone 10 feels like a smart phone. Many other smart phones from what i have seen. The 10 costs twice what the original iphone did. 1,000 smart phone. Yeah, a lot of money. And when you have phones, that cost half that, even ones that apple makes that are hundreds less, what are you getting for that . Dont think a lot are going to go for that. Apple unveiled the slightly less expensive iphone 8 and larger iphone 8 plus. With improved cameras and speakers. There is a lot at stake for the company. Customers bought more than 1. 2 billion iphones in the last decade. Many passed on the iphone 7. Because it was too similar to the 6. Apples revenues fell for the First Time Since 2001. Experts say apple may be hampered by its past success. Having already made so many giant strides. It feels more like incremental steps. Than, something where they introduce something brand new and completely different. Apple is also focusing on the wearables market, the, the, watch, will no longer need how to be paired with your phone. In order to make and receive calls. It will have its own cell service built in. So the age of the twoway wireless wrist communicator may finally be here. All righty, john. That is the overnight news for this thursday. For some of you the news continues.
