By giving people the option to vaccinate themselves. With a skin patch. Dr. Jon lapook takes a look. Reporter as georgia tech engineer watched his three children get flu shots, he asked himself, a question. Why do we need a needle that is an inch long to cross a barrier that is, incredibly thin. So the thought was, lets make very small needles. Make microneedles that can cross the barrier. Reporter traditional flu vaccinations require a needle long enough to reach muscle. But the engineer and those at his university tried something new. Delivering vaccine to just inside the skin using a patch covered with needles that dissolve within minutes.

For others check back with us a little later for the morning news and cbs this morning. Yo ci. Welcome to the overnight news. A planned vote on the Senate Health care bill isat lst a doz senators are concerned about the current version of the bill. Republicans can afford two no votes without any support from democrats. President trump voted lawmakers to the house in an effort to help close the deal. Here is margaret brennan. So we are going to talk. President trump summoned all republican senators to the white house. For an emergency meeting tuesday after Party Leaders postponed the Health Care Vote due to a lack of support. This will be great if we get it done. And if we dont get it done it is something that we are not going to like. Thats okay. I understand that very well. Reporter some senators arrived become to capitol hill optimistic they will find a path to passage. We are not there yet. We dont have consensus. Others are less confident. This president is the first president. In our history. Who has had neither political nor military experience. And thus it has been a challenge to him to learn how to interact with congress. Mr. Trump downplayed their di center in a twitter post. Saying that republicans are working hard and really want to get it right. But his aides worked to turn the tide. Vice president pence, lobbied the entire Republican Caucus at their weekly lunch. While white house chief of staff, and press secretary worked capitol hill. Think we have got a good chance of getting there. It will take longer. The Senate Majority leader, mcconnell, must try to resolve Party Concerns or be forced to find hard to win democratic support. Have to sit down with senator schumer. My suspicion is in negotiation with the democrats would include none of the reforms that we would look to make. Now, during yesterdays white house meeting, a number of republican senators complained about president trumps supporters running attack ads against one of their own. A pro Trump Committee running this ad against dean heller. And that strategy backfired. Heller complained about the ads. Shortly after the meeting, the group agreed it would stop running them. A mother in new jersey highlighting how critical it can be for families to have good Health Insurance. She tweeted a vick tur picture of a hospital bill. And the post was retweeted 57,000 times. How did you get a scar . Does it hurt . No. Ethan chander born with nine congenital defects and organs in the wrong place. First heart surgery at six days old. Two surgeries, heart catheterization, procedure, doesnt know any other life. Reporter did you ask yourself how am i going to pay for this . I didnt have to. The family is covered by employ year provided private insurance. But ethans fight to get better gave his mother perspective on the battle over health care. Im not sitting here telling you the aca is perfect. Its not. When i said i am thankful for obama care, what i mean i am thankful there is a set of laws that tell the Insurance Companies look this is what you need to cover. You need to cover essential health benefits. Under Affordable Care act, Insurance Plans must meet minimum standard of coverage. Includes, essential health ben fichlts the plans you offer need to cover prescription medications, hospitalizations, specialist visits. The senate will come to order. Under the proposed senate bill, some benefits could be removed from the states definition of essential health benefits. He is not a budget. She tweeted her twoyearolds last opt bill for open heart surgery and ten day stay. Total. More than 230,000. Luckily insurance negotiated and cover the majority, leaving the family with just 500 to pay. After tweeting, she was surprised to find out how much their story resonated with others. The chander family is probably better off than many. Bah at this point today they have what seems good employee sponsored plan. The odds are. The Health Policy professor, michael sparer says there are a lot of uncertainties with proposed bill. Lot of other folks who may be buying on the exchanges or lot of folks on medicaid who may be more nervous than the family. Because the they true three may be in a situation, where they will be, priced out of Health Insurance quickly. Ee noon will take medication for his life and will likely need procedures. She hopes lawmakers will work to improve health care and its cost for all americans. I dont think that right now, our government is, is looking out for us. I think we need how to come together. And demand that they, they do better. Three Chicago Police officers facing charges in the deadly shooting of a black teenager.

Mattis told reporters there has been no chemical attack since the white house warned a heavy used again. Meanwhile the fight against isis is intensifying. Cbs news crew joined a group of american troops inside syria. Holly williams is north of the isis stronghold. Reporter officially there are 500 u. S. Troops here in syria for the fight against isis. The real number is thought to be much higher. And yesterday, we met some of them. Just 12 miles north of raqqa. Replacing a shattered bridge destroyed when isis fled the area two months ago. When isis left they vowed to haunt this place for 70 years. Perhaps what they meant are the deadly mines the extremists planted around the village. Where isis had positions. Captain bobby murray, based at North Carolina said his team is working with the villagers to clear the area. Theyll point them out as we go by. If we are going by, we see them. We will help dispose of them. Just minutes later, a truck hit a mine less than a mile away. Hit that truck. Marines raced off off to investigate. The driver, miraculously was still alive. Medic colton treated him. And a fighter with americas syrian allies and said he was heading to the front line when his vehicle was thrown in air. Marines later found more mines and detonated them. Winning hearts and minds in the middle east will never be easy for the u. S. But the callus brutality of isis has at least for the moment made it a little easier. The villagers were too frightened to speak to us, on camera because they have family members living under isis control.

A young baseball star known as babe ruth could be coming to the majors as early as next season. A double threat. Last year he won his leagues home run derby and threw its fastest pitch ever. Here is executive editor of Sports Illustrated on assignment for 60 minutes. Reporter this sliver through the fence of the batting cage made for a fitting introduction. We found dozens of japanese outlets angling for a slice any slice of otani in action. Cameras follow him to the exclusion of every other player on the field. And so do the fans. We met supporters who traveled 5,000 miles to the Desert Southwest just to watch him train. Having glimpsed the phenomenon on the road. Our search to find what all the fuss was about took us here to japans northernmost island. It is home to the National Champion baseball team, the nippon ham fighters and also home to the sports most intriguing prospect. And otani looms large in saporo. If tokyo is a fastball, saporo was a curveball. Japans fifth largest city feels not unlike a laid back ski village. This is a baseball town. And this is the home stadium, the saporo dome. It is here we sat down with otani. Broke the ice with a question about what we had heard was his Favorite Local fast food. Very important question. In and out burger . Captain kangaroo burger . Captain kangaroo. Better . Towering and affable, working on his english felt more comfortable using translator. Want to ask you about coming to the majors. If or when . Should we say, if or when . That is a tough one. I mean, nothing is for certain, so i guess it is if. Despite that cautious response, otani eagerly revealed which Major League Players he looks most forward to facing. No less than bryce harper, and star pitcher, clayton kershaw. I watch bryce harper, clayton kershaw. Pitcher and hitter. Yeah, unlike me. Kershaw is lefty. See a little of yourself in kershaw and hafrper . I actually do see myself. I actually try throwing left yeefs some times. How do you think you do against kershaw. Thinking of facing him. Makes me happy, excited. I can tell he is a great pitcher through tv screen. How would you pitch to harper . Would have to go with my best pitch, the fastball. I want o see how my best pitch fares against one of the best hitters. Likely, quite well. Throwing his dancing fastball. He strikes out battlers in a hyperrate than kershaw. And unfurling his violent, elegant swing he hits home runs in a hyperrate than harper. There are days, otani makes baseball look laughably easy. Consider this performance last summer. On the very first pitch of the game, otani, batting leadoff hit a home run. He then pitched eight shuttleout innings and struck out 10 batters. At 64, the designated hitter turned pitcher reliably brings the crowd to its feet. When he threw the fastest pit, breaking his record, opponents looked on in astonishment. Last year you threw a pitch. 165 kilometers an hour. More than 102 miles an hour. How much faster can you throw than 102. 5 . I dont have an exact answer for that. But i am still young. I thin thrk is more room to grow. As seasons go. 2016 will be hard to top. The ham fighters took the japan series. Otani was the league mvp. About the name, fighters are owned by nippon ham. Makers of japan any best selling sausages. And while yes the name resists serious treatment, the team itself is widely regarded as the most innovative in the league. Manager, hikaki, lead the fighters and an ace for the texas rangers. Can you contain this to anything you have seen. No, never seen anything like it. Never. What is it like, a player, best pitcher and best hitter . He is so talented. It is really tough to use him the right way. With the right balance. If you thought money ball, ve intuition, contorted a managers conventional thinking. Tripe overseeing a two way player. His formula. He pitches otani sundays. Bats him the rest of the week. Day or two off befe start. Distractions are to be kept to a minimum. Same goes for praise. And otani may be the star of the team. Last year when we won the chich it was the first time he gave me a compliment. He said that was great pitching. Never complimented you before that. Not once. He always says, you have got to and, he has his reasons. Now. Uly believe he is a lot the crowd at the saporo dome is less stingy with the praise. You dont get a lot of quiet time here. No peanuts. Cracker jacks, either. Plenf atmosphere pervades. The caliber of play is considered one level below the top japanese players, names like, ichiro, and matsui aspire the u. S. Amid such sum pane, otani steps out. Jon gibson reported on Japanese Base fall for 20 years. What is it like covering this guy. A guy throws 1000. A guy who hits home runs. Not somebody thing abut in real life. Nobody does that. Who does that . We had hoped to leave the dome with otani, get to know the mortal behind the comic book character. He politely declined. Not a quick captain kangaroo burger. So we invited a couple of his teammates instead. Brandon laird, Louis Mendoza two foreign players. Laird, saw action as a yankee. Mendoza once pitched for the royals. Saporo not a bad place. Over dinner at their favorite spot in town. Laird told us that otani its most talented teammate he ever had. This from a guy who played with derek jeter and alex rodriguez. Some pitchers can hit. But he actually does it in a game like he is in our lineup. And you know, its, impressive. Watching him hit the ball. And cabrera, power, power. Remind you of cabrera. Yeah, uhhuh. Have you been out with him . No. He doesnt really do anything. He just, mellow kid. The biggest star in baseball. With salary of 2 million. Not owning a car. Lives in the minimalist teen dorms. Otani confirmed he seldom leaves the facility. Not that it keeps fans from waiting for him outside. Even from a distance. Plenty of observations scan be made about the pitching slugger or slugging pitcher. He is meticulous, stopping mid pitch to adjust his form. Open to advice on his batting privilege. Even baseball tedium provide enjoyment. This is some body who plays baseball but always worked at it too. Otani grew up in a small Industrial Town on japans mainland. His father once an amateur player, coached his Little League teams. And he showed promise as the a hitter, but drew more interest as a pitcher. And occasioning visits from scouts when he was still in high school. At age 18 he held a press conference to announce intentions went so far as to tell japanese teams not to draft him. But the nippon ham fighters known for doing things, drafted him nonetheless to. Watch he full report go to our website. Cbs news. Com. And click on 60 minutes. Well be right back. Abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz 12345 abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz 67890 cbs caption test maint.
