We were furious about the past president ial election of a man whose presidency would eventually end in disgrace with his impeachment for obstruction of justice. Of laughter cheers and applause after firing the person running the investigation into him at the department of justice. applause Mason Clinton was speaking, of course, of president nixon who resigned before the house could impeach him.

Reporter and just this n rning, republican Texas Governor greg abbott pointed to a bulletriddled target and actually said this im going to carry it around in case i see any reporters. laughter reporter some say this anti press sentiment is being fueled by president trump. A few days ago, i called the leke news the enemy of the people, and they are. They are the enemy of the people. Its really a game changer. Reporter joel simon is executive director of the committee to protect journalists. When journalists are doing their job and asking tough questions and sometimes being a usttle pushy, that that would somehow justify some sort of me sical attack, thats unacceptable. And we have to speak out about that. Reporter america is a long ways away from the kind of attacks sometimes including murder, that journalists have suffered in other countries. The worry, anthony, is that violence aimed at journalists here could be an ominous step in that direction. Anthony . Mason Barry Petersen in montana. Thanks, barry. In egypt, a bus load of y ristians was ambushed as it was headed to a monastery south of cairo. Masked gunmen riding in s. U. V. S opened fire on the bus.

Reporter so Cameron County is increasing its efforts at Mosquito Control and Public Education and sharing what its learned with others across n xas. Er we had a boot camp in april. We allowed all the Health Departments to come in to learn from our mistakes. Rt reporter really . So theyre gearing up and the reason theyre gearing up is. Theyre scared of it hitting ngeir area. Reporter since january 2016, in the states and d. C. , the c. D. C. Has reported more than 5,000 symptomatic zika cases. Only about 20 of infections cause symptoms. And more than 1,800 infections in women who are pregnant. So far, only south florida and brownsville, texas have reported zika infection in local mosquitoes, but Texas Health Commissioner dr. John hellerstedt is concerned travelers with zika in their bloodstream could spread the virus to uninfected mosquitoes in other states. They could go to anywhere that have the potential to harbor the aedes aegypti mosquito. Reporter so in texas would you say youre on low, medium, or high alert . Oh, were absolutely on high alert.

Reporter case in point this view of one part of the glades in the 1970s. This is just 30 years later. The effect has been to cut off the vital natural flow of fresh water from the Kissimmee River and lake okeechobee all the way to florida bay. The disruption contributed to recent toxic algae blooms. Now almost 20 years after lawmakers passed a comprehensive everglades restoration plan, the Florida Legislature finally approved a key project, a 1. 5 billion reservoir designed to help restore some of that natural flow. We got ourselves into this mess. We can figure out how to get ourselves out of it. Reporter dr. Tiffany troxler ny Florida International University Says the need is greater than ever because another problem, sea level rise, is already damaging the sawgrass that makes up this river of grass. When we came out here and measured the salt, it was about three times higher than what we thought we would experience here. Reporter if left unchecked, seeping salt water could impact more than just wildlife here. Eight Million People count on the everglades for drinking water. That reservoir that would h plenish some fresh water here is by no means a done deal. Anthony, Congress Must approve ngs share of funding, and then, of course, it would still have to be built.
