Face the nation. John, those are pretty strong words coming from the chairman of the Senate Foreign relations committee. What do you make of senator corkers remarks questioning the president s stability and competence . First, who is senator corker . He is not one of the usual suspects, whos always criticizing the president. He has been golfing with the president. He is not by temperament somebody rushing out and saying the sky is falling. But in this instance, he says if the president doesnt solve his problems, our nation is going to go through great peril. So where this is coming from, is extraordinary, and the critique he is making is a thorough one. Its not just something he tossed off. Mason he said the president needs to move beyond himself. What do you take that to mean . Hes identified the locus of the Program Inside the president himself and the reason that is so damning is this is a critique people have had about candidate trump and then President Trump, his impulsiveness that made him so popular among his base is incompatible with the office he holds. And so when he talks about the lack of discipline, the lack of stability, those are central elemental characteristics a president has to have. And senator corker is saying that theyre not there in this president now. Mason so if you are in the white house, how do you take this criticism . Well, you take the criticism right to the person its aimed at, which is the president. And there is no amount of staff you can ring around a president to fix these problems. These are problems, as senator corker has identified themselves, that are in the man himself. He calls on the president to have some selfreflection. So if youre in the white house, you have to hope the president is listening. Mason john dickerson, thanks. A new poll shows a majority of americans, 62 want confederate statues to remain standing as historical symbols. 27 of those polled believed the statues should be removed because theyre offensive. Manuel bojorquez has more on this from Stone Mountain, georgia. Reporter theres no bigger monument to the confederacy than this towering sculpture on Stone Mountain outside atlanta. The carving of jefferson davis, robert e. Lee, and Stonewall Jackson is larger than mount rushmore. Edward wilson has lived near it more than 20 years. Im curious though, when you look at it, what do you feel . I feel the war continues. Reporter though no battles were fought here, its a tourist attraction that even includes a laser light show. But the mountain is also considered the symbolic birthplace of the modern ku klux klan, which had gathered here since 1915. In 2015, White Supremacists rallied here and clashed with counterprotesters. Its why williams and others have now started petitions to remove or alter the monument. These images are individuals that lost a war, that wanted to maintain slavery, that wanted to maintain a way of life that excluded my people and other minorities. Reporter but its a complicated issue. One unlikely voice for moving past the monuments debate is civil rights icon and former Atlanta Mayor andrew young. I think its too costly to refight the civil war. We have paid too great a price in trying to bring people together. Reporter but in tampa today, opponents of a statueof a rebel soldier said they quickly raised the 70,000 needed to remove it.

Mason the captain of the destroyer u. S. S. Fitzgerald, two senior officers, and at least a dozen sailors are being disciplined for the horrifying collision that killed seven sailors. It happened in june off the coast of japan. Heres david martin. Reporter 35 sailors were asleep inside this compartment when the bow of the philippine ship punched a 17 by 13 foot hole in the fitzgeralds hull. The seven sleeping closest to the hole drowned, but 28 somehow made it out alive, even though the entire space was nearly flooded within 30 to 60 seconds. The navys harrowing recreation of those terrorfilled seconds was put together to answer the one question all the families of the dead had did they suffer . The answer, not for long. The collision sent sailors, lockers, and televisions flying. With water rushing in on the starboard side, they started yelling, water on deck, and get out, scrambling for a ladder on the port side. After the initial shock, the report says, the sailors lined up in a relatively calm and orderly manner to climb the portside ladder, even though they were up to their necks in water by that point. Two sailors stayed at the bottom of the ladder helping others up. When those two finally climbed out, they stayed at the top of the ladder and reached down underwater to pull two more to safety before they had to retreat to another level to seal the flooded compartment from the rest of the ship. One of the dead, gary rehm, was buried wednesday at Arlington National cemetery. According to the report, he rescued a sailor trapped under a falling locker. The ships captain, along with the officers and men on watch that night, are considered to have committed critical mistakes which caused the collision. Anthony. Mason david martin at the pentagon.

For the Broadcast Center in new york city im anthony mason, thanks for watching. This is the cbs overnight news. Welcome to the overnight news. Terror returned to spain this time in barcelona. Left 80 dead. Mowing down eff pedestrians. People ran for their lives. White van jumped in a crowd. In his wake, bodies strewn across the pavement like broken dolls. Witnesses said he was weaving in and out, aiming for people as they desperately tried to get out of the way. He drove seven blocks before abandoning the vehicle. A passerby frantically tried to give c. P. R. To an injured man. An american tourist who had just arrived at the popular site said the attacker was driving erratically. I heard this, just, group of people scream. Then i looked to my left, and i saw a white van. It looked to me as if he was going left to right, hitting people at the little stands where people were shopping. Reporter cobb oxford from South Carolina, also witnessed the attack. Move, move, move the best way i can describe it is all hell breaks loose. I saw a car bumper laying in the middle of the sidewalk, and people scattering in all different directions. I counted six or eight bodies within a block and a half. Reporter Police Arrived quickly, sealing off the area and ushering people to safety, as they went door to door searching for the gunmen. Stores and subway stations were shut down. Its the latest in a string of attacks in europe where vehicles are the weapon. Last summer in nice, france, 86 people were killed when a man drove a truck through crowds gathered to celebrate bastille day. In december, a truck was driven into a crowded Christmas Market in berlin. And in the u. K. This spring, vehicles were used in attacks at westminster, london bridge, and finsbury park. Tonight everything is shut down here in the center of barcelona what is normally a festive part of the city. Two arrests have been made. Police have categorically stated z they were not driving the van that mowed in the pedestrians today that person is still on the run.

The president has not yet has not yet been able to demonstrate the stability, nor some of the competence that he needs to demonstrate in order to be successful. Reporter and this from another republican, tim scott of South Carolina what we want to see from our president is clarity and moral authority. That moral authority is compromised. Reporter while the president has avoided cameras for the past two days, he has not been silent. Today on twitter, he swiftly condemned the barcelona attack and suggested his followers, study what general pershing of the United States did to terrorists when caught. A reference to a debunked urban legend mr. Trump told during the campaign about American General John Pershings alleged slaughter of muslim soldiers in the philippines. What they did was, they cut open two pigs and they dumped the bullets into the pigs. And they took the bullets and they stood the 50 men up, and they shot each man. Reporter the president s Quick Response to the barcelona attack was a sharp contrast to the days it took him to condemn a white supremacist who drove his car into a crowd of protesters, killing one and injuring 19 others. Today, the president also bemoaned the removal of what he called beautiful confederate statues, and said American History is being ripped apart. In a statement, republican senator Lindsey Graham urged the president to stop. You are now receiving praise from some of the most racist and hatefilled individuals and groups in our country, he said. Please fix this. But inciting racial tension can be politically useful, according to the president s chief strategist, steve bannon, who just days ago appeared on the verge of being fired. In a series of interviews, he dismissed the far right as clowns, but said, if the left is focused on race and identity, we can crush the democrats. The president also lashed out at republican senator jeff flake of arizona and endorsed one of his primary challengers. Anthony, next week, the president will hold his own rally out in phoenix.

Well you may find out if local lawmakers have their way, they are considering a ban on sunday screens fearing it may be harming the coral reeves. The big island of hawaiis pristine coast line is home to one of the states largest coral reefs that Scientists Say is dieing at alarming rates. We got a birds eye view. From the narked eye everything looks perfect. Thats the confusion the sea water is masking the problem. Hes studied the reef for more than 25 years. In a plane with special imagining sensors can determine the health of the coral by its color. With can fly over and get information from vast areas of the reef. The red is dead or dieing coral. To see how bad it really is we have to go under water. This is now a dead zone we see the coral that died a few years ago. Those are the skeletons that are kind of eroded now. Then you see the corals that died recently. Theyre Still Standing up, but theyre dead. Theres no pigment. Theyre just ghosts. Reporter you can see the difference between healthy and dying corals and its not just happening in hawaii. Coral reefs are dying off around the world. Scientists say its mostly to do due to rising ocean temperaturess but new evidence suggests certain types of sunscreens make it worse in popular tourist areas. Here we have a number of tests going on. This biologist and his team study the effects of an active ingredient common in sunscreen called oxybenzone. Youre talking a shot glass in a swimming pool. These are the kinds of things where it can begin to have action. His Research Confirms even a trace amount of oxybenzone can affect the coral. Its what encouraged the hawaii lawmakers to impose a statewide ban on the sale of all sunscreens that contain oxybenzone. He said people will have to learn to use sun blocks that contain titanium and zinc instead. Reporter if they approve the ban, hawaii will be the first. State to do so. Yes. Id like to see hawaii take the lead and make sure we can do all we can to protect our ocean environment. But sun screen makers are fighting back. A Group Representing about 90 of the personal care and cosmetic industry says theres no conclusive Scientific Evidence that sunscreen ingredients cause a negative impact on coral reefs at levels that have been detected. In tourist areas. Dr. Richmond disagrees. The levels were finding in the water are the levels at which it is having a biological impact. What can we do to slow down whats happen sng. At this point it is tough to think of ways to slow ocean warming but locally we can do a lot to take stress off the reef. Sun screen is a good place to start. One we can all contribute to.

What is a Solar Eclipse, when the moon passes between the earth and the sun. The darkness is the moons shadow. When the sun is about half way or threequarters of the way covered if you have a shade tree around you will see crescents on the ground because the leaves act like pin hole cameras. Hes known as mr.

The name for an clim chaser umbraphile, or lover of shadows. Science writer, another self proclaimed umbraphile. It was most awe inspiring experiences ive had, i say this as a science journalists. July 29th, 1878, the path that the moons shadow took went right across the wild west from montana down to texas and dozens of american astronomers headed to the west to see the eclipse most prominent scientist was thomas edison. By todays standard he was a media star. His involvement in the clim helped to raise the profile of the eclipse overall and the day he returned started the new project the light bulb. It was not yet taken seriously as a force in science. It was one of those key events that really did lead the country not too much later by 1900 to be equal with europe in terms of science and nen really to excel and exceed europe. So what is this line . This line is the center of the 73 mile wide Solar Eclipse. As for prime eclipse viewing spots if the wild west seemed exoticing in 1878, mccannden, illinois, population 600 might work today. According to dave darvis the path of totality runs right through the work shot where he is making and selling clims art hoping to cash in on his amazing good fortune. The totality here will be longer than almost anywhere else on earth, two minutes and 40 seconds. Theres going to be hundreds of people wanting to stand on this line, i guess, if they stand on the line here and want to wear a funny hat or anything im going to charge them money. How can you manage that . I can tell what a funny hat looks like. Its the probability not hundreds but thousands of people showing up here. Are you excited or terrified. More excited then terrified but a good portion of me is terrified. Thats volunteer eclipse coordinator. How many people can fit in this tiny valley.

They saw this little three, three and half foot tall being coming out from the woods. It looks like what . Well nothing they ever seen before. Huge head. Huge ears. Big glowing eyes. Its arms almost touched the ground and it was floating on top of the ground. Given cht spooky timing will they be back. In a way i would love to happen it to prove it in another way you can come but dont take me with you. Let no one say the Great American eclipse will not be memorable. Fred, mr. Eclipse, has this advice for anyone seeing a total eclipse for the first time. Thing to keep in mind is not to get so carried away with cameras and stuff that you miss the event itself. Comparing natural phenomenala on a scale of one to ten a the Solar Eclipse comes rolling across the United States on monday and a lot of people who live in the socalled path of totality are looking to cash in. Adriana diaz has that story. The total eclipse a rare celestial event has excited astronomers and sky watchers across the world. I have a two car garage dmefr been a car in it.

This is our merchandise room were selling tshirts, glasses. Proceeds are going to benefit nonprofit museums in st. Josephs and she says orders are coming in from around the globe. So exciting that people will see our name all over the world. The total eclipse will follow this exact same pattern. This city 76,000 is home to the National Pony express system the famous 1970 Postal Service realized the path of totality followed part of the pony express trail. With hats and of course tshirts with the theme where the two trails cross. You always look for fundraising through the the year but when you can bring in Something Else another 5 to 8,000 thats takes care of half of the bills. It goes far beyond local tshirts. They have eclipse themed patterns and cozies and soap. Scenes like this are playing out across the country. You will find similar businesses on the path of totality. If you are not on the path the u. S. Postal service issued these eclipse stamps that change from dark to light when exposed to heat. Some will be glad when it is all over.
