It turns out President Trumps desire to buy greenland isnt a joke. The white house economic adviser confirmed the president will make a more concrete offer when he visits denmark next month. Greenland is a part of denmark and the government says the giant island is not for sale. Seth doane paid a vitt. Sdplr greenlands strategic location and Natural Resources are undoubtedly appealing. But denmark says this territory is not for sale. Trump is maybe a little crazy. You thought the president was crazy . I think so. This would not be the first time the u. S. Has tried to buy this place. The state department made an inquiry in 1867 and then after world war ii president truman offered 100 million to buy greenland. But both awe tempts faattempts failed. But in 1917 they sold the west indies to the United States. They are known as the u. S. Virgin islands. 900 miles from the north pole. Reporter the United States has had an air base in northern greenland since 1943. We took a helicopter out to a remeet clor remote location to meet the scientists. What would would you make of that suggestion . I think you should talk to denmark. Reporter President Trump is traveling to denmark in september and a white house official with knowledge of the trip says the white house expects the issue of greenland to come up and staffers are preparing for it. Folks here will most certainly be watching too. Seth doane, cbs news, greenland. During the wars in iraq and afghanistan, u. S. Troops often got rid of unwanted materials in socalled burn pits. It turns out a lot of the troops breathing the smoke from those pits got sick. Reporter dan struggles with what most of us dont even think about, taking a breath. One full breath in. Blast. All the way. Reporter an air force veteran, hes part of a lung study at National Jewish hospital in denver. But hes also part of something much larger. He was one of thousands of men and women who served in iraq and afghanistan and maybe sick or dying because this was the air they had to breathe. Smoke from massive burn pits next to their bases. What did it smell like . When you burn plastic. You get that smell depending on how strong the winds are. The smoke could be pretty strong. So you constantly either saw the smoke or smelt it pretty much every day, all day. All day all night. Youre breathing this stuff in. Reporter into the burn pits went things like bat ritz, chemical, heavy metals, arsenic. A report by an Inspector General put it bluntly. Its indefensible that u. S. Military personnel already at risk of serious injury and death when fighting the enemy, were put at further risk from the potentially harm fful emissions from the use of openair burn pits. Even worse it did detailed millions on incinerators to dispose of waste but many sat idle next to the burn pits. An air force expert issued a warning about the burn pit there is and added, it is amazing that this burn pit has been able to operate without restrictions over the past few years. I think at the end of the day, the data looked good in terms of your lung function. It hasnt gotten better, but it hasnt gotten worse. Reporter dr. Cecil rose is is a pull monthnologist, who was Principle Investigator of the fiveyear lung study funded by the department of defense. Our study is designed to understand the spectrum of lung diseases that can occur following these hazardous exposures and then thats called breathing. Shea she has already seen some results. We have described a spectrum of diseases that are related to deployment. They werent there before. They are clearly there after. People have returned from these extreme environments. Reporter its not as simple as a plume of toxic smoke. Those hazards include desert dust, very intense sand storms, a huge amount of diesel exhaust and diesel particulate, paints that may cause lung disease in just the course of their regular job duties. Reporter dan is not alone. The Veterans Administration set up a voluntary burn pit registry, more than 180,000 have signed up. But of the claims connected to burn pits, only about 2500 have been accepted. And a victims lawsuit against contractors who oversaw some of the pits was rejected by the supreme court. One of the denied va play clinton campai claims was saying her cancer was caused by burn pit exposure. Is there severe enough consequences as the family of jennifer keper in who died. Reporter her congressman from california got her family survivor benefits, but he didnt stop this. A harvard trained emergency room doctor, he has launched a legislative blitz to get sick Veterans Benefits now and not wait for more years and studies. Theres enough to act on it. When people are exposed to an illness and they come in dying on the gurney, you dont have to wait for that pristine science to determine that this patient is sick and dying. You need to act on it and take care of the patient. That should be our common sense approach when you put veterans in the center of theva saees a american history. The use of agent orange in the vietnam war. Its a powerful herbicide used to kill jungle foilage. Veterans exposed and got sick years after fought the va for benefits. A battle that took decades to win. Be accountable, be responsible, do whats right for our veterans. Give them the care that they need and if they dont, then they should be held accountable. I dont know if they will be. I dont know how long people will live. How long will they survive. Thats my concern. We cannot let burn pit exposure veterans be the Vietnam Veterans exposed to agent orange of our generations. We cant do that. In april the Central Command reported nine burn pits, but says 13 burn pits at the moment are burning nonhazardous waste. They also say that could change at any time if battlefield conditions change. A department of defense spokeswoman added, we are concerned that toxins from burn pit emissions may pose health risks and we are assessing potential longterm impacts. A skeptical ruiz worries people are still at risk. Its still going on. And when you think that the military is willing to expose men and women, our young sons and daughters and brothers and sisters, to burn pits simply because they say its inconvenient and not Cost Effective for them, its sha shameful. Its shameful. Reporter so in the years ahead, there may be more like dan. No longer a father who can go on a hike with his kids. I used to be very active. Dirt bike riding, Mountain Bike riding, hiking with the family, very active with my kids. Now i dont do any of that. Dont or cant . Cant. Reporter barry peterson, denver.

Keep it fresh three years after the people of Great Britain voted to leave the European Union, the country is no closer to striking a deal on how to do it. Now some probrexit politicians are feeling the heat. Sglrp. Reporter it may to the look for a hot band of revolutionary activity, but this london pub was exactly where an audacious gorilla campaign was born when four dads decided to hold politicians to account for the brexit chaos. Nobody was going back to the politicians and saying, hang on. You promised this and said this. We hold all the cards. You said wif the European Union over a barrel. Reporter brexit has already sunk two prime ministers, thrown favorable trade deals into uncertainty and left a nation by theerly divided. And yet three years after the uk voted to leave the eu, its still no closer to an agreed exit plan despite the looming october departure date. As james, ben and will drown their brexit sorrows, a simple plan was hatched. Why not throw politicians own words back at them. The day after we vote to leave, we hold all the cards. Reporter it was to em blazen the quotes on huge billboards. The only problem was they had no idea how to do it. The first moment we came out and did it it was a disaster. We didnt have the right tools or the right thickness. Reporter billboards with their now infamous tag line. It turns out, theres a lot to be said for laughing at those in power. I by laughing at them pet we remove a little power. So we quite enjoy calling them don keys. Reporter nobody was laughing when the billboards turned into a nationwide phenomenon. As 1 Million People marched in london demanding a second referendum on brexit led by donkeys found themselves hiring helicopters with the help of crowd funding to capture a banner that would be held aloft by the marchers. Can we get a drone. New york city you cant fly drones during the protest. Then could we get a helicopter. It was another 5,000 pounds and we had a helicopter in the air. It was singularly the most stressful thing we have done. Pulling out a huge banner like that over a crowd comes with a lot of responsibility. But actually for me, it gave us one of the greatest rushes. Reporter the banner became a defining moment of the day. Now funded by online donations and no more stealing ad space, they have upped their game with projections in brussels as well as poking fun at international visitors. Its empowering because i think one of the things is that people are feeling powerless. Something these quotes and promises that were made before the referendum became a fundamental part of the debate. I would like to think thats because we sat here frustrated, printed out a poster and slapped it on a billboard side. Reporter as for the future i think all of us generally are optimists. And i dont feel in my heart of hearts we are going to leave the europe b union at the end of october. Reporter while staying in the eu might be unlikely at this stage, it wouldnt be the craziest thing to happen in british we end with a tale of the power of love. Steve hartman found it on the road to the adirondacks. Reporter deep in new yorks adirondack mountain, friends and family gathered to help pay tribute to her remarkable husband. Your marriage to paul was one for the history books. What did you love about him . His sense of humor. He got me laughing. He was the one for me. Thats him . Thats me and my pride. Reporter chris and paul met in 1988 and after dating five years, they became one of the first couples in the world with synome to get married. I proposed to thim hymn. You proposed to him . Yes. Would youme . He looked up with me with his big beautiful smile and shook his head yes. But chriss sister say it is took more than yes to get them to i do. There were marriage classes, counselling sessions and a loot of pushback from ableminded people. There really was quite a bit of resistance. There was a feeling it was like children getting married versus two very capable adults. Reporter today people with down syndrome who want to get married still face resistance. Theres still question whether some couples love as deeply as the rest of us. And in fact, we saw evidence that maybe they dont. That maybe their love is deeper. Thanks to you and paul, everyone here has seen what true love looks like. Reporter at the end of the ceremony, chris read a portion of her husbands ashes near the lake where he loved to fish. Yes, you love him so much. Reporter the rest will be mixed with hers one day and b r buried together. I love you. You were the best wife any husband could ever have. Reporter it was an intensely intimate moment. Shared with you today for a reason. What i hope is that other families will entertain this. Other people will recognize the importance of this kind of intimate love. People like us need to have a chance. A chance at what . A chance to find the man of their dreams like i did. Are you going to be able to be happy again . I dont know. I just lost the man they love. But im going to try. Reporter even if she doesnt succeed, chris says its still far better to have loved and lost than to be told you can never love at all. Steve hartman, on the road in new yorks adirondacks mountains.
