I guess i wish that people knew. We are not all the same. We are not all the same. We are not all the same. Announcer this is the cbs overnight news. The flu is widespread in every state but hawaii and oregon. We have been highlighting places where the virus is hitting hardest. In arkansas 125 people have died this season. That is more than six times the toll last year at this time. Omar villafranca is in little rock. Can we lift up . Reporter 3yearold gibson heath has spent the last 12 days at arkansas Childrens Hospital fighting the flu. Because of his chronic lung disease his parents rushed him to the e. R. At the first sign of symptoms. He spiked a fever of 102, and thats when i knew to bring him in and get get tested for the flu. Reporter sick kids like gibson have kept dr. Shane mckinney and his staff in the e. R. Busy. In december they regularly see 180 patients a day. But those numbers have jumped this flu season. Our volume has been increasing steadily. We saw 306 patients this past monday, which is a huge increase for us. Reporter with the flu hitting the country hard this year, arkansas has paid out more than 8,000 flurelated medicaid claims this week alone. During the same week last year only about 1,000 flurelated claims were paid. At this clinic in little rock, dr. Jay Douglas Holland is taking a different approach in dealing with the spike in flu cases. Even though his waiting room is empty what are the symptoms . Reporter he still treats five to ten patients, over the phone. Bod ache. I go through a pretty thorough history about fever, chills, headache, body ache, and sore throat. Cough . If someone has all of those, i feel comfortable in treating them over the phone. And we are not charging for that. I love you. Reporter the heaths all got a flu shot to avoid spreading the virus and to protect their son theyre asking the community to get their flu shot. Last year in arkansas no children died from the flu obut so far this year three children have been killed by the virus, which is why doctors are still urging people to get the flu shot. Jeff . Scary numbers. Omar villafranca, thank you very much. More than four months after hurricane maria, fema is still providing food and water to storm victims in puerto rico. Early in the crisis the agency awarded a large contract to a businesswoman from atlanta to supply millions of meals. But as David Begnaud reports, only a fraction were delivered. I think fema took a chance because they wanted the lowest bid. Reporter Tiffany Brown is the onewoman operator of Tribute Contracting in atlanta. She got a google alert about fema seeking bids to provide meals to puerto rican victims of hurricane maria. Last october brown scored a 156 Million Contract to provide 30 million meals at a cost of 5. 10 each. She subcontracted the job to two companies, including a corporate caterer in atlanta with 11 employees. Did you really think that 11 people were going to do millions of meals . She told me she was experienced with this work and as time got on as time went on that she would be able to hire additional people to scale up. Reporter only 50,000 of the 30 million meals were delivered. Fema terminated her contract due to late delivery. Fema should have understood reporter fema picked brown after vetting her, even though she had no experience working largescale disasters. Brown has had five previous government contracts terminated for not delivering required food and her inability to ship products. Ive had challenges in that area, particularly because im so young and being a woman in this world, in the Food Industry world. You pour water in it and it heats up. Reporter one Government Agency put out a notice saying Browns Company could not work for them again, but that did not apply to fema. Democrats like representative Stacey Plaskett have criticized femas decision. The other agencies go so far as not just to stop the contract but to issue a systemwide warning saying that this is not a company to do business with. Then how could they have been prepared to do a 156 Million Contract with a oneperson operation . My biggest mistake was not asking for more help. Reporter so miss browns been paid about 255,000, but shes appealing to fema for 70 million more. Now, fema insists there was no disruption in the Food Distribution chain in puerto rico because of this debacle. And if youre wondering where the unused meals went, we found them in this storage locker here in atlanta. 60,000 meals. And jeff, this is what they look like. Theyve been sitting here since november. Wow. David begnaud, thank you very much. Now to some other stories were following in the evening news feed. Driving was next to impossible today in sioux city, iowa.

Today it seemed like all of philadelphia turned out to celebrate the eagles first super bowl win. And Demarco Morgan was in the middle of it all. Eagles reporter the celebration started on the way to the celebration. Fly eagles fly and the line at wawa wound out the door and around the block. Fans lined the streets and climbed trees to celebrate the citys first super bowl win with a massive parade. Cops danced in the streets and directed chants instead of traffic. Eagles reporter and Eagles Center jason kelce had some fun on live tv. No one likes us no one likes us no one likes us we dont care were the eagles [ bleep ] eagles reporter there was even a coffin on the street.

Jeff . At least. Demarco, thank you. Up next, at 81 years old he is setting an example for folks half his age. We end tonight with a man who started running when he reached Social Security age and hasnt stopped yet. Chip reid now with our special series, living stronger. Reporter nat shaffir runs six miles a day six days a week. He started running after meeting a College Student who had just run a marathon. So i looked at her and said she did a marathon . If she can do it i can do it. And you were how old at the time . 65. Reporter hes now 81 and later this year hopes to run his 12th marathon. When he runs, he doesnt listen to music or plan his day. He says his mind is usually in a much darker place. When youre running, do you sometimes relive and think about this horror . Absolutely. All the time. Reporter that horror is the holocaust. He gives tours at the Holocaust Museum in washington, d. C. , where he shares his own story. We know for a fact that hitler hated all minorities, in particular jews. Reporter shaffir was born in romania in 1936 and had a happy childhood until he was almost 6 years old, when everything suddenly changed. One of our neighbors was a priest. He showed up with a Police Officer and two armed guards and hes pointing at us and hes saying [ speaking Foreign Language ]. These are jews. So we were actually turned into n. To the authorities because we were jews by a priest. Reporter his family spent years in a jewish ghetto with barely enough food to survive. 32 of his relatives perished in nazi concentration camps. Shaffir, though, eventually made it to israel and at age 24 to america. Running, he says, gives him strength. As a young paratrooper in the israeli army he was shot in the knee. You still have any bullet fragments or anything in your leg . No, they took it out when they replaced my knee. So youve had a knee replacement, you were shot in the knee, and youre running marathons. Right. Reporter running while thinking about the holocaust, he says, gives him the mental strength to keep telling his story. Running gives you so much more incentive to speak out and make sure things like this dont happen again. Reporter 81 years old and living stronger than ever before. Chip reid, cbs news, washington. That is the overnight news for this friday. For some of you the news continues. For others check back with us a little later for the morning news and cbs this morning. From the Broadcast Center in new york city, im jeff glor. Announcer this is the cbs overnight news. Welcome to the overnight news. Im vladimir duthiers. The eyes of the world turn to south korea tonight for the opening ceremonies of the 2018 winter olympic games. Nearly 3,000 athletes from 92 nations will be competing for 102 gold medals in 50 different sports. But overshadowing the games is the Nuclear Tension between north korea and the united states. Ben tracy is in the host city. Reporter so north korea really has dominated the runup to these games, first by just deciding to come, then by sending a 550person delegation, and now by staging this massive military parade on the eve of the Opening Ceremony. North korea put on a major show of force for the 70th anniversary of the founding of its army. Tens of thousands of soldiers marched in kim il sung square. It also proudly paraded many of its weapons of war, including two different versions of its intercontinental ballistic missiles, believed to be capable of striking the united states. Kim jong un and his generals looked on from above. Thats probably north koreas way of trying to show that it is relevant, that it can control the narrative in the region. Reporter shay cotton is an expert on north koreas weapons program. He says if kim jong un was trying to look more rational by engaging with south korea over the olympics this was an odd way to show it. I think if north korea wanted to be reasonable with Something Like this they wouldnt be holding a parade the day before the olympics anyways. Reporter during Vice President mike pences visit to japan he told hundreds of u. S. Military personnel at Yokota Air Base that military action against north korea is possible. Those who dare threaten us would do well not to underestimate the capabilities of the armed forces of the united states. Reporter north korea was officially welcomed at the olympic athletes village today, and south korean president moon jaein plans to host members of the norths delegation, including the sister of kim jong un, for lunch this weekend. Meanwhile, american luge athlete erin hamlin, who was named team usas flag bearer, is excited about the north korean athletes who are participating in the games. Thats what its all about, is bringing people together in a peaceful environment to celebrate sport and something we all love to do. Reporter for the most part the athletes dont seem to be focused on all the politics that are surrounding these olympic games. And olympic competition has now officially begun. Today the american curling duo of matt and becca hamilton, they are brother and sister, they trounced the russians 93 in their opening match. So while the politics may continue here in pyeongchang, let the games begin. Closer to home, the flu bug continues to claim victims from coast to coast. Health officials in arkansas report at least 125 deaths related to the influenza virus. Schools have been shut down and the state is giving out free flu shots. Omar villafranca reports from little rock. Should we lift up . Reporter 3yearold gibson heath has spent the last 12 days at arkansas Childrens Hospital fighting the flu.

Reporter the heaths all got a flu shot to avoid spreading the virus and to protect their son theyre asking the community to get their flu shot. Last year in arkansas no children died from the flu, but so far this year three children have been killed by the virus, which is why doctors are still urging people to get the flu shot. One of the president s top aides has resigned after two of his exwives accused him of Domestic Abuse. Rob porters background was well known to both the white house and the fbi, which refused to grant him a security clearance. So how did he work in such a sensitive position for more than a year . Major garrett reports. Rob porter has repeatedly denied these allegations and done so publicly. That doesnt change how serious and disturbing these allegations are. Reporter White House Deputy press secretary raj shah told reporters that white house chief of staff john kelly only became fully aware yesterday of staff secretary rob porters alleged history of abusing two exwives. I did talk to the president earlier today. He told me he was very saddened by these reports and by the information that he saw. Reporter but sources tell cbs news the fbi informed white house officials in november about the Domestic Abuse allegations. Porters first wife accused him of kicking her. His second wife said porter grabbed her from a shower. Both alleged verbal abuse. Louisiana republican senator john kennedy. You cannot beat the hell out of your spouse. It is illegal. And it is immoral. Reporter those allegations did not affect porters standing in the white house. In fact, his portfolio expanded. Porter helped draft the president s state of the Union Address last month and had recently begun work on trade policy. Kelly initially praised porter as a man of true integrity and honor. He amended that statement late yesterday, saying he was shocked by the new allegations but standing by his original comment. We all could have done better over the last few hours, or last few days, in dealing with the situation. Reporter porter has been dating White House Communications director hope hicks, who helped draft kellys initial statement and others like it defending porter. Porter was responsible for vetting all written material, much of it classified, given to the president. He was working without a permanent security clearance, stalled because the fbi flagged the abuse allegations. South Carolina Republican senator lindsey graham. The fact this man operated a year without a security clearance, i didnt understand that and still dont. Reporter the white house will not define what fully aware means regarding chief of staff kelly. Sources familiar with the clearance process tell us that the fbi report on porter would have been far more detailed than the news story that broke this week, setting the scandal in motion, which means kelly could have known more and he could have known more much sooner. The cbs overnight news will be right back. Lets see. If this pack, and this pack, have the same number of bladder leak pads, i bet you think the bigger one is better, right . Actually, its bulkier.

Theres a lawsuit brewing in california over whether cups of coffee should be required by law to carry a cancer warning. John blackstone gives us a taste of the controversy. Reporter coffee sellers are steamed. A lawsuit thats been grinding on for years alleges no matter how you make it your daily jolt of java comes with a potential carcinogen. Acrylamide. Thats the major reason coffee turns brown. Reporter bill wristenhart, a chemical engineer, teaches the science of coffee at uc davis. As an Expert Witness he testified that acrylamide forms naturally as foods cooked at high temperatures turn brown. Its a major reason you get this yummy brown stuff on the outside of your steak when you char it. Reporter but in high doses acrylamide has been found to cause cancer in mice. That puts it on a list of cancercausing chemicals that businesses in california are required to alert consumers about. Thanks to a law passed in 1986. So now under californias proposition 65 coffee shops are being forced to post signs like this. Trouble is in california right now cancer seems to be brewing everywhere. At least it appears that way if you pay any attention to these prop 65 warning signs. Park your car in an indoor garage and youre likely to find one. At any place that sells alcohol the writings on the wall. Its posted at the happiest place on earth and even outside cbs news los angeles. Hastings law professor marcia cohen. They create in some people concerns that theres something lurking in places and they dont know what it is. Reporter but the potential coffee warning may be stretching the intention of the law. Cbs contributor dr. David agus. I believe in transparency, but at the same time when you put a bold declaration, x may cause cancer when there isnt data to that effect in humans, to me it causes panic rather than informed knowledge. Reporter in a statement the National Coffee association told cbs news this lawsuit simply confuses consumers and has the potential to make a mockery of prop 65 cancer warnings at a time when the public needs clear and Accurate Information about health. While 13 defendants including gloria jeans and 7eleven have settled and agreed to put up the signs, starbucks is still waging a legal battle, arguing that coffee has benefits. Coffee in moderation has been shown to potentially decrease the risk of certain cancers and potentially has some heart benefit. Reporter so these warning signs may be one coffee order that californians will have some trouble swallowing. John blackstone, san francisco. Well, theres a group of veterans in utah who wont be putting warning labels on their coffee anytime soon. Black rifle coffee has an ad campaign that features flame throwers and machine guns. Michelle miller has the story. Reporter the founder of black rifle coffee started out in his basement with just 1,800. He says fueling freedomloving americans helped the company sell more than 1 Million Pounds of coffee last year. Thanks in part to irreverent marketing designed to turn heads. This should be its a lighter roast, and you should actually taste a little bit of almost a lemon at the top. Thats what i taste. Reporter evan hafer isnt your typical coffee connoisseur. Hes been roasting his own special blends for over a decade in the most unusual places. I was deploying back and forth from places like iraq and afghanistan at the time. I couldnt find a good cup of coffee. Most of the time youre restricted to just whats called chow hall or Dining Facility coffee, which terrible coffee. Horrible. It is horrible. So as a guy that truly loves coffee i was just looking to find a great solution to what i felt was kind of a problem. Reporter that solution . Black rifle coffee. Matt best helped him create the company. He came to the idea with my other Business Partner saying hey, do you guys want to do coffee . I dont really know coffee but it sounds like a great idea. Reporter a former army ranger, best had already proved himself with a military clothing line, article 15. We have no competitors. Thats a pretty big statement. Name me another ceo thats carried a saw through an alley at 3 00 in the morning in baghdad, iraq. There isnt one. Reporter to them selling a great cup of joe meant selling people on the culture of the company itself. Family, community, constitutional rights, and civil liberties. And community for us is the veteran community and everybody that does really the grind that makes america what it is and sacrifices their own personal life for the benefit of their communities. People ask us why we have so many guns. I just tell them how about over 200 years of freedom . Reporter these videos have been their primary marketing tool. Controversial. Oh. Reporter unconventional. Whoo fresh roasted freedom. Reporter and tongue in cheek. If we have a coffee club which means you spend less time ordering and more time doing what you love. No look. Essentially were taking a satirical approach to our values, right . Im a progun guy but very pro gun, but obviously its way over the top in the videos. [ playing jingle bells on targets ] reporter but it was two other moves that put black rifle on the map last year. A plug tweeted out by donald trump jr. After coffee maker keurig pulled ads from Sean Hannitys fox news show during the Alabama Senate race. Youll take it . Absolutely well take it. And this is the problem i think that people divide too much on the left and right. So someone on the political spectrum that you necessarily dont agree with wants to support a cause that im devoting my whole entire life to, youre absolutely right im going to be very happy that hes spreading the message. Reporter and after former starbucks Ceo Howard Schultz promised to hire 10,000 refugees on the heels of the president s travel ban, black rifle pledged to hire 10,000 veterans. How do you go from 100 plus to 10,000 . Were the fastestgrowing Coffee Company in america. Franchise opportunity is where its going to happen. Would you call yourselves political . Just because of who we are. Were somewhat political. Theres a war on freedom right now, which is this politically correct culture where you know, youre so worried about stepping on an offensive mine even in your office. Whoo you cant take the men and women that have been doing the most unpolitically correct act in the history of mankind and then war. And then swing them in a matter of weeks back into a corporate infrastructure and allow them to fit in perfectly. And if they dont you call them a failure. With and where does that leave them . Homeess, jobless. Depressed. Suicidal. We see the statistics that are coming in. We have over a 50 veteran hiring rate. We have no less than probably five conversations a week about ptsd. Every day we have great conversations about how we can be a more proactive and responsible steward of our subculture. Those conversations, they say, started with the very founding of the nation itself. Odes to service hang everywhere in the companys Salt Lake City headquarters. Dating back to the rebels behind the boston tea party. Post1773 it was seen as unpatriotic to drink tea in america. Wow. So we shifted to coffee because of the american revolution. Honoring those patriots, hafer says, means honoring immigrants like mohammed ali taslim. The afghani commander served alongside some black rifle employees on their tours. We were fighting taliban, isis and al qaeda for 13 year. We support each other. Reporter its team of 102 employees includes 47 veterans and 30 women, several of whom are seniorlevel executives. Hafer says dont let the black hats fool you, theyre waging guerrilla warfare on the coffee establishment. Typical coffee culture is funny. Its a funny mix of pseudointellectualism and conformity in a way thats very weird for us. If you go into like any of the big name coffee companies, they look like they should be chopping wood but they dont have the calluses to prove it. And thats kind of the difference, which is well make a great cup of coffee and we can also beat you up. Thats the difference. The cbs overnight news will be right back.

Alzheimers disease can rob its victims of their memories. And in most cases theres no way to get them back. In most cases. Heres steve hartman. Reporter to welcome us to portland, oregon 68yearold Steve Goodwin would like to play one of his songs for you. Ah reporter you have no idea how much he would like to play one of his songs for you. What key is it in . It made me almost hate the piano. But then i realized its not the pianos fault. I know how to do this. Its this thing thats going on in my brain. How about i play Something Else . Reporter three years ago steve was diagnosed with alzheimers disease. He had to give up his job as a software designer. But as we first reported a few months ago, his wife joanie says the cruellest part is the toll it has taken on the music he composed. Losing the songs would be like losing him. Reporter steve and joanie have been married 47 years. And along the way steve composed more than two dozen songs, mostly for her. He played them daily. And they became the soundtrack of their lives. Um. Reporter unfortunately, he never wrote down most of them. No, lets see. Reporter so when his memory started failing and the songs started fading, there was no way to get them back. Until a family friend, a professional pianist, offered to launch a rescue mission. I said if he can at least play through it, even in pieces, i can learn it. Reporter and so for the past two years Naomi Laviolette has been reconstructing his compositions note by note. No, just on the one the down beat . The one down beat, yes. We are rolling. Reporter and of course theyre recording songs. Never to be lost again. I realized there was a part of him that wasnt going to fade away. Reporter but this may be the best part. With naomis help steve was able to write a new song. Although he now forgets entire conversations and can no longer add even singledigit numbers, somehow his mind dreamed up this. After this story first aired the cd they made was discovered by billboard. Screenwriters want to make a movie. And probably the biggest thrill for steve the oregon repertory singers recently performed his new song melancholy flower. Alzheimers steals a lot. But this christmas we score one for the beauty left behind. Steve hartman on the road in portland, oregon. On any given night more than a half million americans are homeless and up to 15 million go to sleep hungry. I caught up with some weekend warriors in upstate new york dedicated to changing that. Cheese. Reporter every weekend in syracuse, new york its sandwich saturday. Starting at 10 00 a. M. , granola bars, chips and sandwiches. Heres the bread. Reporter assembled in lunch kits ready to go to those who need them most. There are thousands, thousands of people thats hopeless right now in these streets. Reporter dozens of volunteers mobilize every saturday to help syracuses cold and hungry. Behind the leadership of al amin muhammad. Were here for one purpose. One purpose. Is to help humanity. Right . Thats what were here for. You guys didnt come to eat my food, did you . Reporter the volunteers head out and set up under a bridge. But during this particularly cold winter its not just food theyre giving away. Jackets and hygiene kits are also handed out. But its more than the food and clothing that the needy of syracuse get every saturday. They get human connection. Bonds that are difficult to form on the street. In a week where you dont have too much money, come down here and get a meal, some hot cocoa, and all the people come together and we talk and we network so everybody can help each other out. Reporter and the volunteers have found a deeper connection too. It means everything to me. Its so positive. I get a chance to help people. I get a chance to meet new people. Reporter sandwich saturdays is part of the nonprofit we rise above the street. The name describes al amin muhammads life. When i was in the streets homeless, really hopeless, it was a lot of people walking past and i was invisible.
