Ones, and none of them represent a threat within the next 100 years or so. speaking arabic cooper what about the other 5 . Simon were not kidding. An estimated 30 Million People yeomans were still looking. Tune in to see Bassem Youssefs show. Cooper hes talking about objects over half a mile wide that are big enough to cause they love to see him skewer those in power, like the time he global destruction. Made fun of president morsis the problem is, there are lots of smaller objects over 40 yards outfit during an award ceremony. In diameter that are unaccounted for and potentially very cheers and applause dangerous. Bassem youssef has been called an infidel and traitor, even ed lu if you look at the pulled off tv. Does satire get you into light green dot, thats the orbit of the earth. Trouble . Cooper ed lu is a former astronaut who spent six months it doesnt get me into the kind of trouble it gets you into. On the International Space station. laughter he showed us a Computer Generated representation of our solar system thats the sun in cooper this is video of an the center, and those green dots asteroid in russia, barreling are 10,000 nearEarth Objects toward earth at 40,000 miles an hour. It exploded into pieces 19 miles astronomers have found so far. Above and 25 miles south of the lu so these green dots are the asteroids that could hit the city of chelyabinsk. Earth. windows shattering, cooper this is the. About the 10,000 known asteroids . Lu yes, these are the 10,000 people screaming known asteroids. Heres the problem. Shattering glass, crushing theres about a factor of 100 more. Doors, and knocking some people the real solar system looks like this. Right off their feet. And we know this because weve more than 1,000 were injured. Only been able to observe a small fraction of the sky, and theyre very low probability events, but very high we know that theres about 100 consequence events. Times more asteroids than weve found. Cooper wait. Wait, this is all the asteroids that are. Its something that may not happen for another 100 years, lu there are about a million asteroids large enough to 200 years. Destroy a city out there. It may happen tomorrow morning. Cooper and right now, we only know of. Of what percent of those asteroids . Im steve kroft. Lu about one half of 1 . Im lesley stahl. Im morley safer. Cooper does it worry you im bob simon. That you only know 1 of these im anderson cooper. Asteroids that are big enough to im scott pelley. Destroy a city . Those stories tonight on 60 chodas well, most of those minutes. Are really small. And the odds are that many of these would hit in a remote area or they could hit in an ocean. So that is why the larger ones are those that we were paying attention to first. Now, the next size range is the one to concentrate on, those that can cause, you know, continentwide extinction or destruction. Cooper yeah. That would be pretty good to prevent that continentwide destruction. Chodas those are the next ones. Well continue to find those. And we work our way down to the small ones. Cooper but right now, an object that could wipe out the eastern seaboard or new york a woman who loves to share her passions. Grandma mary has atrial fibrillation, city could be a day away and an irregular heartbeat theres a very good chance we not caused by a heart valve problem. Wouldnt know about it. That puts her at a greater risk of stroke. Yeomans well, were working rome . To make sure that we will know about it. Sure cooper but right now, we wouldnt know about it. Before xarelto®, mary took warfarin, chodas its possible, yes. Which required monthly trips to get her blood tested. The committee on science, space and technology will come but thats history. To order. Cooper nasa administrator back to the museum . Charles bolden faced similar not this time now that her doctor switched her to onceaday xarelto®, questions from congress after the nearmiss in russia last year. Mary can leave those monthly trips behind. What would we do if you domestic flight . Detected even a small one, like not today like warfarin, xarelto® is proven the one that detonated in effective to reduce afibrelated stroke risk. Russia, headed for new york city but xarelto® is the first and only onceaday in three weeks . Prescription blood thinner for patients with afib what would we do . Charles bolden if its not caused by a heart valve problem that doesnt require regular blood monitoring. Coming in three weeks, pray. Cooper is there anything you so mary is free of that monitoring routine. Can do to deflect an asteroid for patients currently well managed on warfarin, thats going to hit, besides evacuating a city . There is limited information on how xarelto® and warfarin compare in reducing the risk of stroke. Yeomans if you find it ten or 20 or 30 years in advance, then yes, you could actually xarelto® is just one pill a day taken with the evening meal. Send a spacecraft up, run into it, slow it down a millimeter or spinach . Grazie two per second so that, in ten plus, with no known dietary restrictions, or 20 years, when it was mary can eat the Healthy Foods she likes. Predicted to hit the earth, it wouldnt. Cooper just slam a spacecraft into it. Dont stop taking xarelto®, rivaroxaban, yeomans just slam into it. Unless your doctor tells you to. Cooper in 2005, nasa did just that as an experiment, while taking xarelto®, you may bruise more easily firing a small unmanned and it may take longer for bleeding to stop. Spacecraft into a comet called tempel one. Xarelto® may increase your risk of bleeding but you cant deflect what you if you take certain medicines. Dont detect, which is why xarelto® can cause serious bleeding, former astronaut ed lu has taken on a new mission. And in rare cases, may be fatal. Lu heres the telescope that get help right away were building. If you develop unexpected bleeding, unusual bruising, or tingling. Cooper hes now chairman of the b612 foundation, which has if you have had spinal anesthesia while on xarelto®, designed a spacebased telescope to speed up the discovery of watch for back pain or any nerve nearEarth Objects. Or muscle related signs or symptoms. Do not take xarelto® nasas amy mainzer has been developing one, too. If you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. Both telescopes would be able to tell your doctor before all planned medical find asteroids by using infra or dental procedures. Red sensors that detect heat before starting xarelto®, rather than light. Tell your doctor about any conditions, such as kidney, liver, or bleeding problems. But a telescope like this would cost roughly half a billion switching to xarelto® was the right move for mary. Dollars, and so far neither the United States nor any other ask your doctor about onceaday xarelto®. Government has committed no regular blood monitoring; significant funds. No known dietary restrictions. So the b612 foundation is trying for information and savings options download the xarelto® Patient Center app, to raise the money privately by reaching out to individual donors. Call 1888xarelto, lu i dont think theres any or visit goxarelto. Com other global catastrophe, global scale catastrophe that we can e prevent. This is the only one that i know of we can solve this particular financial noise issue for the cost of building a freeway overpass. Financial noise i mean, and thats literally what it is. Cooper but nobody has been killed by an asteroid. Financial noise lu yeah. Financial noise and what im saying is that you cant wait till that point afterwards, when you say, we should have done it. Cooper you have to think of this as cosmic roulette, right . Lu the phrase that they have in vegas is that the house always wins and, you know, the sort of secret to all this is that were not the house. At some point, you know, the Solar Systems going to get you. Yeomans theyre very low probability events, but very highconsequence events. Cooper the problem it seems like is youre asking people to care about something which may not affect their lives, may not even affect their childrens lives. Yeomans thats true. Its a tough concept to get across because, as you say, its something that may not happen for another 100 years, 200 years. It may happen tomorrow morning. Cooper after this story first aired, new research came kroft the past several weeks out suggesting small asteroids have seen another deadly crash into our atmosphere much more frequently than previously outbreak of Mass Shootings by thought. Lone gunmen in their 20s on or this year, congress increased near college campuses, part of nasas budget for asteroid an epidemic of senseless detection, but theres still not violence thats now occurring on a regular basis. Enough money, public or private, its become harder and harder to to launch one of those proposed ignore the fact that the infrared telescopes into space. Majority of the people pulling the triggers have turned out to be severely mentally ill, not in nice. Wrench . Control of their faculties and not receiving treatment. What .

One a day mens vitacraves with key nutrients like bvitamins. Same person all young males, often with the same glazed all the fun of a gummy thats a complete multivitamin. Expression, loners who exhibited bizarre behavior and withdrew into their own troubled world. Theyre often portrayed as villains. But dr. E. Fuller torrey says their deeds have much more to do with sickness and health than [ male announcer ] give dad a gift hell love. Good and evil. Get this porter cable compressor for just 99 e. Fuller torrey every person ive taken care of, and ive taken care of several at lowes. Hundred of these people, had a very good reason for doing what looked to be crazy behavior. You stand behind what you say. Theres a saying around here, but in their mind, it wasnt crazy behavior. Around here you dont make excuses. It was in response to something that was very logical, that their voices were telling them; you make commitments. Or that their delusions were telling them. And when you cant live up to them, you own up, and make it right. Kroft dr. Torrey is one of the most famous psychiatrists in some people think the kind of accountability the country, an expert on severe that thrives on so many streets in this country Mental Illness, and a staunch critic of the way the country has gone missing in the places where its needed most. Deals with it. How much of these terrible but i know youll still find it incidents that weve had, these when you know where to look. Mass shootings, is traceable to deficiencies in the Mental Healthcare system . Torrey well, theyre directly related. About half of these mass killings are being done by people with severe Mental Illness, mostly schizophrenia. And if they were being treated, they wouldve been preventable. Kroft for example, before killing 12 people at the Washington Navy yard last september, the gunman, aaron alexis, told police that he was hearing voices and being bombarded by strangers with a microwave machine. If he had been transported to a psych ward, the shootings might never have happened. In 2007, Virginia Tech student seunghui cho was behaving so irrationally that a Court Ordered him to Seek Mental Health care. The order was never carried out. Cho killed himself and 32 others. And before james holmes dressed up as the joker and shot 70 kroft im steve kroft. We will be back next week with another edition of 60 minutes. People in a movie theater, Campus Police at the university captioning funded by cbs of colorado had been warned that and ford captioned by he was potentially violent. Media access group at wgbh access. Wgbh. Org telephone rings holmes had been a brilliant graduate student there studying the inner workings of the brain, until something suddenly went wrong with his. Hi, honey. Dr. Jeffrey lieberman, who is hows the camping trip . President of the american well, kids had fun, but i think i slept on a rock. Psychiatric association, says its not that unusual. What are you doing . Having coffee. Jeffrey lieberman you can be ah, sounds good the most popular student, you i thought youd say that. Ah. Can be the valedictorian of your class. The best part of wakin up. Youre the best and if you develop schizophrenia, it will change wake up to the mountain grown aroma of folgers. The functioning of your brain and change the nature of your. Is folgers in your cup behavior. Kroft you could be completely normal at age 20, how much money do you think youll need when you retire . Perhaps a good student or a gifted student and a solid then we gave each person a ribbon citizen, and at 21 or 22 be to show how many years that amount might last. Psychotic . I was trying to, like, pull it a little further. Lieberman absolutely. [ woman ] got me to 70 years old. Im going to have to rethink this thing. Kroft dr. Lieberman, who its hard to imagine how much well need runs the Psychiatry Department for a retirement that could last 30 years or more. At columbia universitys medical school, says that schizophrenia so maybe we need to approach things differently, has a genetic component and if we want to be ready for a longer retirement. Tends to run in families, affecting the way the circuits in the brain develop. You can see the structural abnormalities in a brain scan. Lieberman and you see people, a young adult, with a normal brain, same age with, who has schizophrenia, and you see that that degenerative process has already begun. Kroft this is really a disease of the brain. Not a disease of the mind . Lieberman absolutely. Kroft it lies dormant during childhood and usually emerges in late adolescence and early adulthood, affecting perception and judgment. People see things that arent there and hear voices that arent real. Whats the nature of these voices and what do they say . Lieberman usually its multiple voices, talking about them in the third person, as if theyre not there. They may be saying, youre a horrible person. Everybody hates you. The only way that you can justify yourself is to lash out at them. Kroft how strong are the voices . Lieberman when theyre at their worst, the person cant distinguish the voices from their illness and they think the if we want to be ready for a longer retirement. Voices are part of them, and if they tell them what to do, theyll follow it. Jacob bowman i hear a voice. Its a mans voice and its really, really deep. Its a really deep and scary mans voice. Kroft schizophrenia is more common than you might think. Several million americans have it. 17yearold jacob bowman has been struggling with it for a couple of years. Bowman this is basically me on a bad day, i guess. Because i cant think straight. My thoughts are racing really, really fast. Kroft hes dropped out of high school, lives at home under the watchful eyes of his parents, and rarely goes out because he thinks people are trying to kill him. He spends much of his time on social media we found him on youtube where he shares his world with other young people who have the same symptoms. He wants them to know that theyre not alone and that the voices and hallucinations are not real. Bowman basically, all my voices i have are just thought, just voices telling me to harm myself or harm other people or kill people. And thats why i think i need to get on medication because i dont want to hurt anyone. And because i know schizophrenics arent violent. Kroft and hes mostly right. The vast majority of people with schizophrenia never show any signs of violence. Mike robertson was 19 years old and away at college when he was diagnosed three years ago. Mike robertson i felt like there was people around me, like, bad people or nice people. Kroft even when there was nobody there. Robertson yeah. And thats what really, thats what really got to me. Linda doran he told me over the phone, i feel like im going insane. I swear there is a bug in my head and i just want to tear at my eyes and my skin and my scalp to get it out of there so i dont have to hear it anymore. Captioning sponsored by cbs very scary. Kroft michaels mother, linda doran, brought him back to california and got him into treatment, which consists of regular therapy sessions and daily doses of heavyduty anti thank you, thank you, thank you psychotic drugs that stabilize him and help control the one more, right here. Symptoms. Robertson clozapine. Its an antipsychotic. Haloperidol. Cogentin or benztropine. cheers and applause fluvoxatine or prozac, lorazepam for anxiety. Kroft they often leave him listless or groggy, which is one of the reasons people with severe Mental Illness often stop taking them. A lot of people with your illness say the drugs make them feel worse. They just hate it. Robertson yeah. I can see that with the side effects. But its better than having schizophrenic symptoms. Kroft what worries you the most . Doran the future and the future without myself being here. Because i am mikes caregiver. I am his advocate. And so if i am not here, who will be . Kroft it is a serious concern and a sobering thought, because its estimated that half of the seven Million People in the country with schizophrenia and other forms of severe Mental Illness are not being treated at all. Duanne luckow this is day ten now of my fast. So im feeling really, really good. Kroft Duanne Luckow is one of them. He has spent the past three years on and off the street and in and out of jails and Mental Institutions, but he doesnt acknowledge that there is anything wrong with him and has refused treatment. Hes been recording the events in his life to prove that he is sane and that the rest of the world is out to get him. Do you have a gun at home . Luckow do i have a gun at my home . Yes, i have a gun at my home. Okay. So its a true statement. Kroft theres a confrontation with police at his parents home, and this full blown psychotic episode on the top of Multnomah Falls in oregon, in which he threatens to go over the side. Luckow i come from the planet of pluto im here to protect this planet im here to bring justice about there is no justice. This planet is entirely corrupt the fbi wanted to screw around with me they didnt want to give me my atm cards Sandra Luckow it really feels as though hes on the edge. Its pretty scary. Kroft duanne gave the footage to his sister, Sandra Luckow, a documentary filmmaker who teaches in new york. Duanne luckow may the truth be known kroft she spent years trying to help him. Sandra luckow on a certain level, this would make him crazy to think that the very thing that he thinks is going to exonerate him shows how crazy he is. Kroft did you have trouble getting him treatment . Sandra luckow laughs yes. Yes, a tremendous amount of trouble getting him treatment. Kroft she is no longer sure her brother can be helped, and has kept her distance ever since he sent her a threatening email. Sandra luckow he said that someone was going to come to my apartment with an ar15 hollow point bullet and spatter my brains all over my apartment. Kroft has he ever been violent . Sandra luckow not that i know. Kroft but you think its possible . Sandra luckow sure. screams kroft 50 years ago, someone like Duanne Luckow would have ended up in a place like this, involuntarily committed to one of the big staterun hospitals that were used to warehouse the seriously mentally ill. Documentaries like Frederick Wisemans titicut follies helped expose the dehumanizing conditions and led to reforms. One by one, the big asylums were shut down, and over time, a halfmillion inmates were released into communities to fend for themselves. They were supposed to be housed in residential treatment centers, medicated, and supervised by case workers at walkin clinics. But the programs were never adequately funded. Torrey what we did is, we emptied out the hospitals. And on any given day now in the United States, half of the people with schizophrenia and other severe Mental Illnesses are not being treated. Kroft how difficult is it to get somebody admitted who does not want to be admitted . Torrey almost impossible in most states. The laws will read, you have to be a danger to yourself or others, in some states. And judges may interpret this very, very strictly. You know, we kiddingly say, you have to be either trying to kill your psychiatrist, or trying to kill yourself in front of your psychiatrist, to be able to get hospitalized. Kroft if these people arent receiving medical attention, where are they ending up . Torrey many of them end up homeless. Many of them end up in jails and prisons now. So this is a huge problem. Our jails and prisons are our main place now where you find mentally ill people. Kroft in fact, by some measures, the largest Mental Institution in the United States is the Cook County Jail in chicago. It houses the largest number of mentally ill people in the country. Tom dart this is a population that people dont care about and so as a result of that, there are not the resources to care for them. Kroft Cook County Sheriff tom dart is in charge of the jail and he is not very happy about the situation. Dart ive got probably 2,500, 2,800 people with Mental Illness in my jail today. And you look at their backgrounds, theyve been in here 50, 60, 100, we have some people whove been in here 400 times. Kroft what kind of offenses . Dart oh my god, retail theft is a norm. And usually its because theyre stealing something either to feed themselves or, frankly, theyre stealing something because they just wanted it that second. Loads of cases of criminal trespass to land. Whats that . Theyre breaking in some place to sleep. Kroft youre saying the prisons and the jails are the new asylums . Dart absolutely. There is no person that could argue otherwise that the jails and prisons are the new insane asylums. Thats what we are. What the. . Wait dont spray me kroft sheriff dart has told guards and employees to videotape incidents so that he can show people what actually goes on here. Dart and the videos weve shown people are to show them what happens when we take people who are mentally ill and we cram them into the criminal Justice System where theyre not supposed to be. And the irony so deep that you have a society that finds it wrong to have people warehoused in a state Mental Institution, but those very same people were okay if we warehouse them in a jail. Its just, youve got to be kidding me. Elli montgomery were you ever diagnosed with depression or bipolar disorder . Yeah, a long time ago. Kroft every day, elli montgomery, one of five social workers here, goes over the list of new inmates with Mental Illness. Montgomery we have 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7. 15 with a severe Mental Illness. Kroft just this morning . Montgomery yeah, just this morning. Severely mentally ill. Not like a little bit of depression. Kroft most of them will be here for several days to several months, then released back onto the street with a packet of pills and no plan. Sheriff dart says its become a huge Public Safety issue. Theres been an epidemic of Mass Shootings. A lot of them by people with serious Mental Health problems. Do you think theres a connection . Dart yes, i do think there are connections here because people. Some are getting treated. Other ones arent getting treated. People are falling through the cracks all the time. And so to think that that wont then boil up at some point and end up in a tragedy, thats just naiive. Thats just naiive. Torrey we have a grand experiment what happens when you dont treat people. But then youre gonna have to accept 10 of homicides being killed by untreated, mentally ill people. Youre gonna have to accept tucson and aurora. Youre gonna have to accept cho at Virginia Tech. These are the consequences, when we allow people who need to be treated to go untreated. And if you are willing to do that, then thats fine. But im not willing to do that.

He did political satire on tv, and nobody had seen anything like it anywhere in the arab world. He was called the jon stewart of egypt, but unlike stewart, hed been interrogated by the authorities, labeled an infidel and a traitor. Last year, he was knocked off the air for three months. We went to cairo to watch him prepare to return on a new network. It was doing okay. But then late last month, egypts military leader, Abdel Fattah El sisi, won a president ial election with over 90 percent of the vote. This past monday, youssef announced his show was cancelled permanently. As youll see, even when we first reported this story in march, youssef knew Something Like this might happen not because of poor ratings, but because people in power so often feel threatened by laughter. He has such a fervent following that all he has to do is say welcome to the program for his audience to crack up. Bassem youssef speaking in arabic simon its the kind of show with which americans are very familiar. Youssef the name of the game, whats up simon every week, an estimated 30 Million People tune in. Egyptians have never seen anything like this before. Youssef speaking in arabic simon and bassem knows hes never quite beyond the reach of the authorities. We wont listen to anybody who intimidates us, he says. We want freedom. Freedom bassem saved his best material for former president mohammed morsi. Look at what morsi wore when he received an honorary doctorate in pakistan. Now, look at how bassem portrayed it on the air. Bassem was accused of damaging egypt pakistan relations. You made him look like a clown. Youssef i never. I never meant to actually make him look like a clown. Simon oh, come on, you wore a hat. Youssef yeah. Simon . That made him look like a clown. Youssef i made fun of the hat, not about the president. Simon oh, come on. Youssef i impersonated the hat. laughter simon egyptians across the country laughed themselves silly, but morsi was not amused by the hat joke. A warrant was issued for bassems arrest. He was formally accused of insulting the president and insulting islam serious charges in egypt. But at his interrogation, he reacted the only way he knew how. Youssef they called me in. In an interrogation. It was fun. Simon it was fun . Youssef yes, because there were some people in the area that were actually fans of the show. laughter simon now, when. When they read you out the joke, were they laughing . Youssef the guy was reading it with a straight face, but the guy who was actually writing was laughing, and the lawyers were laughing. Simon he records in this 75 yearold art deco theater, built in the same style as radio city music hall in new york. Youssef each episode, we have 100,000 requests for 200 seats. 100,000 requests can you imagine that . Simon no. Youssef so, this is a whole new lobby. Simon its a far cry from the chaos of cairo. His set is worthy of any late night talk show. Youssef and this is, sir, my desk. Hes make. Hes keeping my seat warm. Thank you. Simon now, it does have a certain resemblance to the daily show with jon stewart, doesnt it . Youssef yeah. But we have a bigger theater. laughter simon and a much bigger audience around twenty times bigger. Jon stewart took notice, and invited him to new york to appear on his show. Jon stewart please welcome Bassem Youssef. cheers and applause simon bassem couldnt believe he was there. cheers and applause last year, in a show of support for bassem, stewart went to cairo. He was led onto the set by a couple of nasty looking guys. This time, it was stewart who was heading for an interrogation. Ladies and gentlemen, jon stewart cheers and applause simon bassem was the one asking the questions. Youssef does satire get you into trouble . I mean, what about the love that you get from the people . Stewart ill tell you this it doesnt get me into the kind of trouble it gets you into. laughter i get in trouble, but nowhere near what happens to you. Simon bassem may have been in trouble with morsi, but morsi was in real trouble. His regime was a disaster, the economy was in shambles, and his islamist agenda was angering people across egypt. After months of protests, the military stepped in and deposed him. Some held bassem partly responsible for demolishing morsis reputation. Did you help destabilize morsi . Youssef of. Well, its like helping what i did is i did a political satire show. If his regime was destabilized because of a show that comes one hour a week, that is a very weak regime. So its. Maybe its not about my strength, and maybe its about their weakness. Simon but laughter is a very powerful instrument. You know that better than anyone. Youssef i just want to have fun, dude. I mean, what are you getting me into . Simon with the generals now in charge, egypt became a military dictatorship. Field marshall Abdel Fattah El sisi, the new leader, was lionized for having overthrown morsi. But he was slamming the door on dissent. Since last summer, over 1,000 protestors have been massacred. Journalists and dissidents of all stripes have been arrested and tortured. But Bassem Youssef refused to be deterred. Are you the only voice thats not in this syndrome of pleasing the army . Youssef lets say that i am not in part of the massive current going in the certain direction to please certain people. Simon you can see which way that current is flowing. Everywhere, posters of field marshal sisi dominate the landscape. Instead of baseball cards, vendors sell sisi cards. Pastries adorned with the field marshals face are sold in shops across cairo. That was too delicious for bassem to resist, so in a skit last october, a baker walks in with a tray full of sisi cakes. At first, bassem isnt interested, but he soon realizes it would better for his health to buy one. Only one . The baker asks. You dont like sisi or what . Bassem hesitates. Okay, he says, give me everything youve got. And the reaction you got was. . Youssef people were laughing. But thats the immediate reaction. Theres another reaction that we have to deal with it. Simon and that reaction came a week later. There were protests outside of bassems theater, and the network pulled his next episode just minutes before it was due to air. Then, the network shut the show down. Was that a surprise . These were very powerful people. Werent you scared . Youssef im always not scared. Im always. Simon youre always not scared . laughs youssef im fine. I mean, what. What could happen . Simon they could hurt you. Youssef like what . Simon there are many ways, and we both know what they are. Youssef so it will happen. I mean, if it happens, it happens. You should let go of your fears in. So you can be able to operate. Simon and youre able to do that . Youssef im trying to, because sometimes fear is crippling. Simon fear is everywhere in egypt today. But just three years ago, millions gathered across the country to demand freedom. At first, bassem didnt really participate in the movement. He was a respected heart surgeon, had never shown any interest in politics. But when people started getting bloodied and killed in tahrir square. Youssef we got medical supplies, and we went to the square. And we started treating patients, stitching wounds, and. In the makeshift clinics in the square. So this was our involvement. Simon when you were there tending to the wounded, was this for you, a moment of truth, an epiphany, Something Like that . Youssef no, it. I think it was a moment of solidarity. I mean, im. Im not into the business of throwing rocks. All i did was just, like, fix the wounds. Simon you were being a doctor. Youssef yeah, im just being a doctor. Simon that experience led him to make an astonishing career change. Hed always loved the limelight and dreamt about being a comedian, so when a friend approached him about doing his own show on youtube, he jumped at the chance. Youssef we set it up in my house, one camera. Simon in your house . Youssef yes, my spare room. One desk, one camera, and me on the camera, writing scripts and getting clips of the media at that time. Simon egyptian media had never been called upon to broadcast anything resembling truth. Bassem was a trailblazer. When you started uploading onto youtube, what did you expect . Youssef i expected about 10,000 views, for. Simon did you get 10,000 . Youssef i got five million. Simon and then he got an offer any comedian would die for his own tv show. But that wasnt the only offer on the table. Simon you were offered a job as a cardiac surgeon. Youssef yes, in cleveland. Simon . In cleveland. You could have had a lovely house with a white picket fence, and a swimming pool, and a good school. You were being offered the american dream. Youssef yeah, the american dream. Yeah. I chose the egyptian dream, the dream to make a tv show, and then be called an infidel by the end. laughs simon an infidel, and now. Youssef and now, a traitor. Simon a traitor. But the traitor, as hes called, began conspiring to make a comeback. After three months off the air, bassem found another network that was willing to take the risk. His army of researchers snapped to it, scouring the internet and the airwaves for new targets to skewer, even if it was far from certain that there would be another show. Youssef and this is the key, this is the whole key if you lose faith in what you do, all of this doesnt mean anything. Simon a day before the taping, bassems writers are busy and bewildered. What do you think is going to happen this time . Are you confident that its going to be on the air . Youssef show of hands that we are going to continue without stopping. Show of hands we are going to be pulled off air very soon. Whoo laughter simon anything could happen the police or the army could step in, shut bassem down before he even gets to the stage. The network could get cold feet. But they keep on going. The theater has come alive in a frenzy of preparations bomb sniffing dogs, surveillance cameras, a steel gate. Its easier to get a ticket to the super bowl. Valet parking, a cordon of riot Police Everything but certainty. Even the people who came to see the show didnt know whether there would be a show. I cannot predict that. I hope so. And its going to be stupid, because the more you ban something, the more, like, people want to see it more. Simon people knew that bassem would have to be careful this time around. He would try to make people laugh, of course, but wouldnt make fun of sisi. Well, people were wrong. cheers and applause sisi wasnt spared bassems team spun a wheel, hoping to find a tv program that wasnt about the field marshal. First up, a food channel. Sisi, sisi. Simon then a fashion channel. It featured jeans, signed by sisi. He couldnt do it. Every channel he turned to had nothing on it but sisi. Bassem had had enough, he cut to a commercial. The brand of this cooking oil . Sisi. laughter as a last resort, he tried a foreign channel, but that didnt work either. Oh, see seesee rider. Simon while bassem was ready to pull the trigger, people across egypt were killing themselves laughing. But will there be an encore . The punch line of your next joke could be jail. Youssef why . Why are you being so gloomy . Just expect the best, man. I will be okay. Simon after his show was cancelled on monday, bassem said hes not okay. To be honest, he said im tired tired of struggling, tired of pressure, tired of being worried about my safety and the safety of people around me. The present climate in egypt, he said, is not suitable for a political satire program. What does americas jon stewart think of egypts jon stewart . Go to 60minutesovertime. Com.

Cooper for a long time, astronomers saw the asteroids and comets that come close to earth as useless debris, space rocks that blocked our view of distant galaxies. Not anymore. Theyre now viewed as scientifically important and potentially very dangerous if they were to collide with our planet. The odds of that happening on any given day are remote, but as we first reported last fall, over millions of years, scientists believe there have been lots of impacts, and few doubt there are more to come. A former astronaut told us its like a game of cosmic roulette, and one mankind cannot afford to lose. Concern over our ability to detect these objects grew after an incident in russia last year, when an asteroid crashed into the atmosphere with many times the energy of the bomb dropped on hiroshima, narrowly missing a city of one million. This is video of that asteroid in russia, barreling toward earth at 40,000 miles an hour. It exploded into pieces 19 miles above and 25 miles south of the city of chelyabinsk. People thought it had missed them entirely, until minutes later, when the shock wave arrived. windows shattering; people screaming . Shattering glass, crushing doors and knocking some people right off their feet. More than 1,000 were injured. How much warning did people in chelyabinsk have . Paul chodas none. Cooper paul chodas is a scientist at Nasas Jet Propulsion Laboratory in pasadena, california. He and his boss, don yeomans, have been trying to track near Earth Objects for decades. Chodas we didnt see it coming. It was coming from the general direction of the sun, so it was in the daytime sky as it approached. Cooper so how did you find out about it . Chodas twitter and youtube, when we. When we first saw the images. Cooper so the first people at nasa that heard about it was twitter . laughter chodas exactly. Cooper chodas says an object this size hits earth once every hundred years, on average. Yet the same day, purely by chance, another asteroid twice as large came within 17,000 miles of earth, passing between us and the satellites that are bringing you this broadcast. The only reason there was any advance warning was because an amateur astronomer in spain, an oral surgeon by day, noticed it just before it moved out of view. Amy mainzer we know about some of the most distant galaxies in the known universe, and yet, we dont really know everything thats right in our own backyard. Cooper wow. Amy mainzer is a nasa scientist who focuses on detecting asteroids. Mainzer so we got to move the dome out of the way. And then were going to start to follow the asteroid as it tracks across the sky. Cooper this telescope at the Table Mountain observatory in california is one of dozens all over the world that are used to track and study near Earth Objects. Mainzer told us theyre often very hard to find. Mainzer some of these asteroids are really, really dark, darker even than coal in some cases. Kind of like the soot at the bottom of a barbecue grill. Cooper so youre looking for something thats darker than coal against a black sky. Mainzer exactly. And now you see the problem. Cooper another problem is that groundbased telescopes cant see objects coming from the direction of the sun because theyre in the daytime sky, like the asteroid that hit russia. Astronomers find asteroids by taking repeated pictures of the night sky and looking for things that change position. Professionals and amateurs all over the world work together, sharing information. Once paul chodas and his nasa colleagues have multiple sightings, they can predict an objects location as far as 100 years into the future. Mainzer this particular object has a very wellknown orbit. Cooper the asteroid amy mainzer was observing the night we visited didnt look like much on her screen. That little thing . Mainzer yep, thats it. Cooper but its nearly half a mile wide and capable of destroying an entire continent. So thats actually. Thats a huge asteroid. Mainzer thats a huge asteroid. If something this size hit the earth, it would be devastating. It would be very bad. Cooper asteroids are composed mostly of rock; comets ice and dust. They come in all shapes and sizes. Some look like small planets; others, giant dogbones. For a long time, nobody thought they were worth tracking at all. Mainzer it wasnt thought that they really did hit the earth. Astronomers debated for a long time about the nature of the craters on the moon. Cooper they thought that the craters on the moon were volcanic. Mainzer possibly, yeah. And its only been fairly recently, within, you know, the last 50 years or so, that the field has really recognized that, yeah, impacts actually do happen. And not only do they happen on geological time scales, you know, millions and billions of years, but on human time scales, in some cases. Cooper the last major asteroid to collide with earth hit in 1908, in the tunguska region of siberia. Its believed to have been 40 yards wide and to have exploded in the air like a nuclear bomb, leveling 80 Million Trees in an area the size of metropolitan washington. This crater in Northern Arizona was created 50,000 years ago. Its one of more than 180 impact craters geologists have found so far. They think there are many more, hidden by water and vegetation, more even than on the moon, because the earths gravity is greater. The most famous impact of all is the one that may have wiped out the dinosaurs more than 65 million years ago. The theory is that an enormous asteroid or comet collided so violently with earth, it created a cloud of debris that blocked out the sun, killing off 75 of all species, and leaving behind a crater in mexico more than 100 miles wide. Don yeomans these are objects that were once in space, pieces of asteroids. Cooper yeomans and chodas showed us some of the remarkable things that have fallen from the sky. Cooper this is a piece of mars . Yeomans you have it in your hand. It wandered around the inner solar system for a few million years, and a 40 pound stone came down in africa, about ten feet from a farmer, in. Cooper really . Yeomans . October of 1962. Cooper its amazing, to think this is from mars. They played a trick on me, as well. Yeomans would you hand that one to me, that big one . Cooper that one . Yeomans yeah. laughter come. Come on. Cooper oh, my god. This one was ironnickel and heavy as an anvil. Not all asteroids are made of such dense stuff, but many contain high concentrations of valuable minerals, like platinum, that might someday be mined in space. Barack obama well start by sending astronauts to an asteroid, for the first time in history
