Anthony, this Severe Weather system and threat will move into the carolinas overnight. Reporter the president elect promised on twitter to take charge of jobs. Reporter well, during the campaign, donald trump repeatedly expressed a promise to keep american jobs in america and for now, at least, it looks like he meant what he said. We have all of these lost jobs, were going to get them Companies Like carrier simply close and take their jobs to mexico. Reporter it was only nine months ago that carrier told shocked indianapolis workers their factory would be shuttering. To move our facility from indianapolis to monterey, mexico. Reporter trump, who benefitted from the working class vote on election day will be here in indianapolis on thursday, alongside the states governor and Vice President elect mike pence. They will announce a deal with the Parent Company keeping the manufacturing jobs in the state. And they think theyre going to make air conditioners in their beautiful plant in mexico and sell them across the border and make lots of money and we have all the unemployment. Not going to happen. The details surrounding the deal have not been made public. Sales just last year holds a number of government contracts, including a nearly 2 billion deal over the summer to produce engines for the troubled f35 fighter jet. Now, there will be some layoffs at this plant behind me here in indianapolis but its not clear exactly how many. Nor is it clear what made the Company Change its mind. What is clear is that other u. S. Manufacturers will be paying close attention barack obama has been trying to close the prison at Guantanamo Bay, cuba, since the day he became president , eight years later it looks like it will still be open when donald trump takes office. And he says he plans to send more prisoners to the camp. Reporter president elect trump campaigned on a promise on this controversial prison even here.

The admiral says there is plenty of room for more detainees but he would refuse to use harsh interrogation methods like waterboarding, which donald trump says he considered reviving. There will not be torture in pray regularly in their cells, there will be more in the coming weeks despite congressional concern. There is no indication to me were trying to rush out the door any detainee that is not safe to transfer. Reporter others cite the exorbitant cost, soon to be 10 million per year per detainee. And the Security Risk of keeping it open. Weve all seen how isol is by putting its prisoners on their march to execution, in guantanamotype orange uniforms. Reporter but there are still detainees too dangerous to release, like 9 11 mastermind, khaled mohammed. The fear is they will be a magnet for other terrorists to come and either try to break disputes that. Well, to date there is absolutely no evidence of that. We have consistently housed dangerous terrorists in our federal prison system without incident. And with the war on terror entering its 16th year, congressman thornberry says the u. S. Should once again start to capture and interrogate achoo did you know you can pick up cold flu viruses from things in your home for up to 48 hours .

Mike cranfield has been running gorilla doctors dr. Eddy kambala is his right hand, and dr. Martin kobala, one of his newest veterinarians.

Reporter eddy grabbed his dart gun that was loaded with anesthetic, and wt wounded gorilla who had hurt herself after wounding herself in the snare set by the poacher. They had to cut a path in the forest as she went. She was with her group and they were moving fast. Thick vegetation gave way to a pairing. Where they spotted her. Then eddy stepped forward and as soon as it hit, she took off. And the team followed. They knew she had to be close. It was an unforgettable sight. Minutes to assess her wound and treat it before the anesthetic wore off. They call this an intervention. Eddy and i and martin have done probably 15 interventions together, its a team, its always a team. And we have some of the most important patients in the world, right . If something doesnt go right, basically you can almost count worldwide. How would you rate the quality of your work as an organization . I think its very good. Actually. Reporter when theyre not doing emergency interventions, mike said his doctors are out making house calls. And in the ten days we spent with them we went on a few. This one in the drc, where eddy and martin are based. All the signs are so that means she is still healthy. Active, moving. Reporter yeah. She is using all limbs. I can just see how she is breathing. I can try to count the breathing rate like now, you see. One, you can see how the abdomen is raising. Two. Three. Reporter these gorillas live in veronga, the oldest National Park in africa.

Theyre increasing at 4 a year, which is about the maximum that they could, if that is the fastest that the human population is growing on the earth, the veterinarians are credited with 50 of that growth or 2 a year. Doctors. Were the only veterinarians working on the gorillas in the clinical sense. Reporter over the years, mike told us he has had a few runins with his patients. He came flying towards me, about 30 yards, and just punched me in the face. Reporter did it hurt . A little bit. Reporter this is umoja, part of her intestines were hanging out of her body when the gorilla doctors got to her. Now eight years later mike wanted us to meet her. Which meant hiking through a bamboo forest and layers of vegetation to up to more than 9,000 feet. There on the volcanic slopes in rwanda, we found umojis family. And here she is, a few mother, her baby boy only a month umoja is probably the most spectacular case we have ever had. And that brought a lot of pride for gorilla doctors. So its not just the animals you save. Its the future generation. Correct, youre actually influencing not one life, but multiple lives. Reporter in rwanda, where we gorillas are a national symbol. He was 14 when his country was torn apart by genocide in 1994 when hundreds were slaughtered. So what do you remember from that time . Darkness, you dont have much thinking but you can see this is over, the whole country is over. Reporter in 22 years, rwanda has risen from the ashes and the gorillas are at the close to 30,000 tourists come every year for the gorillas, and tourism is the biggest source of income for this tiny nation. Okay these guys are very important to us. These gorillas are important to us. Everyone feels that. Reporter mike, who works with the uc davis wildlife headquarters when he got the call from the drc. Before long we were rushing for the border. From the moment you get that phone call is there a pressure to move as fast as you can . Yeah, speed, speed, speed is everything. 24 hours can make a difference to having function, full function in the hand. Reporter that is kind of tough here sometimes, because speed matters. But to get there you have to take the slow boat. Reporter dr. Eddy kambale was waiting for us at the slow boat on the other side of the border on the shores of the lake, amid the crowd and chaos and struggling to hold onto our gear we boarded with minutes to spare and settled in for the long journey. A 12hour odyssey over africas great lakes. We rose as the sun came up and bustle of the early morning. And then we had to still get to the animal. That is sometimes the most difficult part.
