Lots going on with Hurricane Harvey closing in on the gulf coast and could hammer the area for days. The dangerous storm due to make landfall in less than 24 hours between Corpus Christi and houston and not likely to move far until tuesday dropping huge amounts of rain. The National Weather service says harvey is life threatening and pose as grave risk. Harvey is already packing winds of more than 100 miles an hour and is expected to get stronger today. Forecasters prohibit up to three feet of rain in some areas after harvey stalls out. The storm surge overnight could be up to 15 feet along the coast. Millions of soles in harveys path including a team of correspondents ready with the newest information on harvey. David begno begins coverage from Corpus Christi. Reporter the winds are beginning to move onshore. Nobody is on the road in Corpus Christi. People decided to board up homes hunker down and stay, others have left. Looking to get supplies . Today, it may be too late. Hotel manager. Reporter the Hotel Manager is making people get out. Hopefully not that bad, but it looks like its look like its going to be fun.

Hospitals worried about Power Outages have begun transporting critically ill babies, moving them inland. Many are getting out taking up the offer of the city to leave town for free. Hundreds boarded school buses headed for an Evacuation Center in san antonio. Byebye. Reporter along the coast, thousands of people under mandatory evacuations but not here in Corpus Christi. I think people are smart enough to make their decisions, and they dont need the government telling them what to do. Reporter the mayor has decided not to order people out. Why not put a mandatory evacuation for the lowlying areas. No enforcement authority, and we just felt like a lot of people would rather stay here in their homes. Reporter the mayor knows the risks of severe weather. Two years ago his daughterinlaw and two grandchildren died in a flash flood in wimberley, texas. He says its up to the people here to make their own decision. Are you staying or are you leaving . My family, there were no warnings on the flash flood. I dont want that experience to happen to anybody else. Reporter the mayor made a point telling us, look, i could change my mind and we could make it a mandatory evacuation later today. If youre still looking to get out of Corpus Christi until 12 00 noon the city offers free bus rides. Get on any city bus around town. Go to the receiving center, put you on a school bus and take you to san antonio but only until 12 00 noon today. After that everything shuts down. Wow. Thank you so much. And from the International Space station, showing how big harvey is. Forecasters say houston, americas fourth largest city, could get at least 20 inches of rain. It is the home of a multibillion dollar oil and gas industry. In port la varka, texas. Reporter good morning. As we start to feel the first effects of hurricane har vishgs t harvey, the rain, wind and rising tide, comparison to 2008s ike has already begun. If harvey remains on its current path, it could be far more br t destructive. People are moving inland away from the lowlying coastal areas nearly oh blisserated by hurricane ike in 2008. Walls blown out. Boats turned upside down. Reporter hur cake ike holds the distinction between the costliest in texas history. 103 People Killed in the u. S. While about 30 billion was spent to repair the damage. The galveston sea fall is 17 feet high. A storm surge over that could travel into the gulf of mexico, into galvaton bay tripling one of the busiest ports and home to a major refinery. Hopefully a wakeup call. Reporter Jim Blackburn is an environmental engineer at Rice University saying the current infrastructure wont hold up if the city take as hit. If we reach those levels we could see the worst environmental disaster in United States history and probably shut down and cause a major gap in gasoline and jet fuel and other types of critical products availability. Reporter for some texans thats reason enough to leave town. We dont know whats going to happen. If were come back to home, what damage were coming home to. Its sad. Its scary. Reporter and with Hurricane Harvey on course to hit the regions cluster of Oil Refineries which output more than 5 Million Barrels of oil per day, nationwide, the after price of gas has already surged to level the not seen since april. And with the effects of the storm down there, move 120 miles up the coast where Demarco Morgan is in galveston, one of the many areas under a storm surge warning. Good morning. Reporter good morning. Already starting to feel harveys outerbands now as we speak. The wind picked up. The only thing keeping the gulf of mexico out of the city of galveston, this 17 foot high sea wall built about 100 years ago and has only been topped by hurricane ike which happened back in 2008. A lot of people keeping their eyes on this sea wall hoping for the best. When it comes to the west end of galveston you need to know they are not protected by a sea wall and under a voluntary evacuation and local officials are bracing for a potential six to nine foot storm surge. Galvestons city manager is concerned about low lying areas like the citys downtown which could see severe street flooding because of a gravityfed drainage system there operated and, of course, that means that the water from torrential rains and storm surge cannot drain out efficiently. So the citys office of Emergency Management is basically asking everyone to prepare to survive for three to five days on food, water supplies, whatever you can get your hands on, but take precautionary measures right now. Gayle . All right. Demarco, good advice. Meteorologist megan glaro of our chicago station, wbbm here with the forecast for harvey as it approaches landfall. Got to be significant if you are here in person. Right. Gayle, with harvey we are looking at a major storm system, but the problem with this is, its sitting over what we almost call premium fuel. Sea surface temperatures are very high with this. While its already a category 2, bordering on a category 3. Expected to continue intensification and the then the issue will be, one it makes landfall, its just going to sit and meander over the texas coastline here, and look at the intensity continuing to be fed by gulf moisture and heat and then it just sits. So in addition to the storm surge, in addition to the issue with intense Hurricane Force winds, we now add to this days upon days of rain. So were looking at rainfall totals which could be in excess of three feet in areas. Including anywhere from Corpus Christi past houston, near the louisiana border, isolated totals could top 36 inches. Thank you, megan. Stay with cbs news for continuing coverage as Hurricane Harvey makes landfall. Our streaming network, cbsn has updates 24 hours a day, available on the app and at cbs ne news. Com. And President Trump is continuing a feud with leaders of its own party. Key legislative deadlines in september a prolonged standoff could trigary government shut down. We have the political discord at the white house. Good morning. Reporter good morning. Just 12 working days in september to raise the debt ceiling and avoid the kind of costly default that could trigary financial tricrisis. This morning on twitter the president called on congress to change the voting rules to sideline democrats. I think the relationships are fine. Reporter white house spokeswoman Sarah Huckabee sanders down it played escalating tensions between President Trump and his republican lawmakers. There are going to be policy differences but a lot of shared goals. Reporter on twitter, the president laid bare his problem with Senate Majority leader Mitch Mcconnell writing, after hearing repeal and replace for seven years he failed to fix obamacare. Mcconnell speaking in kentucky did not address the president s criticisms but said he cant guarantee outcomes, then indicated mr. Trumps antifree trade position is misguided. The assumption that every Free Trade Agreement is a loser for america is largely untrue. Reporter mcconnell is the latest Senate Republican finding himself at odds with President Trump, who will need the support of nearly every available republican if he wants to advance his legislative agenda. But patience from mr. Trumps message may be wearing thin. Tennessee senator bob corker recently said mr. Trump hasnt demonstrated the stability nor competence to be successful adding, he doesnt think the president understands the character of this nation. Sanders blasted the senator for his comments. I think thats a ridiculous and outrageous claim and doesnt dignify a response from this podium. Reporter senator Lindsey Graham believes the president s attacks are deliberate. The congress is very unpopular particularly with the republican base. Theres nothing unhinged about it. Its a political strategy im not sure is smart but its a very thoughtout strategy. Reporter in an interview with the Financial Times the president s only economic adviser gary cohn said he personally felt a lot of pressure to quit working for President Trump after hills delayed condemnation of hate groups in charlottesville. Gayle, he said the Administration Must do better. All right. Interesting comments from gary cohn. Thank you very much, margaret. Denver police are investigating a series of disturbing videos and disturbing is the word. Videos involving High School Cheerleaders showing the student screaming in pain as they are forced into splits. The video was recordrd earlier in the summer but just surfaced this week. Five Denver School officials have been placed on leave. Dana jane cobson is with us. Good morning, gayle. Kristen wakefield is the mother of one of the girls in the video. Her daughter quit the team because she was afraid to be in the same room as her coach. That coach dismissed from a similar position at another Colorado High School for doing the same thing. Cell phone video shows 13yearold ally wakefield pleading, please stop, nine times, as shes forced into splits by her khmer leading coffee. I was thinking it was normal. I didnt think much of it. Reporter but the High School Freshman suffered from torn muscle tissue and a pulled hamstring and receiving physical therapy. The doctor said 100 the injury sustained was directly caused by the knee of her coach on the back of her thigh forcing it to the store. It could affect reproductive organs as well. Reporter showing allys teammates yelling in agony during similar stretches. The coach is ozell. In an interview williams said the videos are taken out of context. I would love to tell my story but i cant say anything else at this time. [ screaming ] williams is one of five Denver Public School Officials placed on leave. The superintendent said in a statement, he took action as soon as he heard. As the father of two high schoolaged daughters, the images and accesses depicted of extremely distressing and absolutely contrary to our core values. As for ally, shes still trying to heal. The world is a scary place, and people you think you can trust, you cant always. You just have to trust your gut feeling. Reporter we could not reach Coach Williams for comment. The American Association of cheerleading coaches and administrators says it viewed the videos and does not condone the coachs actions and rejects them to the fullest extent. So tough to watch. Disturbing. I love how the not love, the fact the coach says the videos taken out of context. I cant imagine any con thatextt would make that okay. Some more lechpleasant to wa the winner of the largest jackpot ever won with the single ticket in history. Mavis wanczyk claimed the prize yesterday and at the store in chicopee where wanczyk made the purchase that changed her life. Good morning. Reporter yes, good morning. Were hearing that police have been keeping a watchful eye over wanczyks home not far from here but it all started here at this Convenience Store where wanczyk purchased three tickets. Two quick picks and one, the Winning Ticket, was a combination of birthdays and one very lucky number. I need some rest. Im overwhelmed. Reporter after ay whenwind day, Mavis Wanczyk returned home 758. 7 million richer. This isnt true. This cant be, and then now its like ah i i am a winner. Reporter it was a friend who told her she had the winning powerball ticket. I go, hey, i have i have that i have that. He goes, let me see that ticket. He goes, you just won. First number up is 7. Reporter the mother of two said she picked random birthdays. The powerball 4 is the number her family typically plays on friday night keno games. And my dream came true. Reporter lottery officials wrongly said the Winning Ticket was sold on watertown, the other side of the state. This was a result of a human error. Reporter after clearing things up they introduced wanczyk to a roomful of reporters. [ applause ] rather than receive her winnings in 30 annual payments, the 53yearold has chosen a single lump sum of 480 million after taxes shes taking home 336 million. A lot of people will be coming at her in order to try to recommend all sorts of Different Things that she can do with her money. Reporter wanczyk has already quit her hospital job after 32 years and pay off a car bought last year. Plans beyond that are unclear. Im going to go hide in my bed. [ laughter ] reporter even with 336 million, get this. It is not enough to put wanczyk on forbes top richest americans and not enough to put her in the top 50 wealthiest people in massachusetts. Gayle . We all love us some mavis in the studio. Hoop happy, the lottery official. By her side the whole time. A great story. Love it. Love her.

And interior secretary zinke is recommending the president shrink the boundaries of National Monuments opening them up to new Oil Gas Mining and drilling. Earlier ordered a sweeping of 27 monuments, millions of acres were part of a massive federal land grab. And remembering the life of actor jay thomas. He died yesterday after a battle with cancer best known for recurring role on cheers and won two emmys playing a tabloid talk show home on murphy brown. He hosted his own show on sirius xm. He was 69. And launching a series called whats working . Areas from education to infrastructure and much more. Well start this morning with a new stateoftheart bridge in new york built on time and on budget. Its part of the governor mario m. Cuomo bridge that opens tonight replacing the aging Tappan Zee Bridge over the hudson river. Introduction took four years and cost nearly 4 billion. We climbed to the top of the new bridge with current new York Governor Andrew Cuomo to find out what it took to get construction underway. Its one of the largest Construction Projects in the country. I think were crossing here. Reporter and a rare Success Story in the saga of american infrastructure. Whats it like seeing it this up close . Almost unbelievable. Planning it, talking about it, but to now actually see the reality of it and to see it in comparison to the old bridge is really striking. Reporter a 3. 1 mile cable bridge named the governor mario f. M cuomo by his son. Reporter this was decades in the making. Hundreds of meetings. Fights about it. Not an easy process . No. They talked about changing the bridge for literally 20 years. Everybody says the bridge is dangerous. Everybody says it has to be replaced, but nothing happens. Reporter you think theres Political Risk in actually building this bridge . Sure there is. Sure there it. Its one of the reasons the politicians stay away from it. We have a lot of big Infrastructure Projects weve tried in the past that havent worked out and can be a career ender. So reporter did that go through your mind . Oh, only about seven times a week. The most spectacular project of the throughway is the threemile bridge. Reporter the existing bridge, the tappan zee long ago deemed functionally obsolete. The cuomo bridge is a result of a Public Private partnership designed and built by a private company and overseen by project director jamie barbous. Reporter how long can a bridge like this last . The requirement 100 years of service life. Construction should last 100 years. Reporter its built to last . Yes it is. Longer than us, i think. Reporter building it has taken 7,000 workers more than 9 million hours, 220 Million Pounds of American Steel and enough concrete to stretch from here to key west. Much of it was made on land, floated down the hudson river and maneuvered into place by a supercrane dubbed eye lift new york. Could you have built this bridge without the crane . No. If you look behind me the beams are put together, put on a barge and lifted in place to span from pier to pier. Reporter it was shipped from california and paid a 70,000 toll to pass through the panama canal. Wow pretty spectacular. Reporter but worth it. About perspective. This gives you perspective. Reporter im taking in an incredible view to be up here without losing my lunch. If i look down one more time oh, come on. Reporter there arent walls on the side. Just pieces of rope. Reporter the first span of the bridge is opening on time and on budget. Once complete, the bridge is expected to carry more than 140,000 vehicles every day. The toll on this bridge, only like 5. Can you promise the people of new york you wont raise toll prices . Weve promised that the tolls wont be raised through 2020, and then were going to have to see the finances for the state what they are in 2020. Reporter youre not worried when people are cursing traffic on this bridge, like, its the cuomo bridge ah, i dont think theyll curse the traffic on this bridge. The traffic will be less on this bridge than the old bridge. Reporter it will take another year to dismantle the old bridge and complete the cuomo, but the governor hopes will serve as a symbol for new york ambition, and a model for big building in america. Reporter if the Tappan Zee Bridge was the poster child for crumbling infrastructure in america, the cuomo bridge will be the poster child for what . For the optimism and the capacity and the competence that you doubt. What made america is what we built. The railroads, the tunnels, the bridges, the skyscrapers. We cant lose that. If we lose that, we lose who we are. That super crane we showed you, that helped build the new bridge is also going to take down the old bridge, because they have to take it down piece by piece for Environmental Concerns and recycle them, and that super crane can lift 12 stch chew statues of liberty at once. Beautiful piece, norah. Beautiful shot. Really was. I cant imagine what it must be like for the governor to have the bridge named after his dad. As we talk about infrastructure. One of the few bipartisan things that President Trump could potentially do, lets rebuild america. That thought people could, could you do it . This is an example of this Public Private partnership and it works. Its a Success Story. Did it if four years. Proof its doable. Highlight good stories as well here. I like that, whats working . After much anticipation, taylor swift, have you heard, released her new single overnight. Ahead, a look how the pop sensation uses social media to build her brand and, oh, yes, sell her music, too.

A lot of people are hunkering down. Others have left. Scientists say harvey could be far more destructive than ike. The only thing keeping the gulf of mexico out of the city of galveston is this 17 foot high sea wall. The issue will be, was once it makes landfall, its just going to sit and meander. President trumps attack on Top Republicans are creating a rift ahead of key legislative deadlines in september. Congress will have just 12 working days to raise the debt ceiling.

Along the texas coast evacuation orders in effect already. However, here in Corpus Christi, a majority of the area is not under a mandatory evacuation. We talked to the mayor why hes decided not to issue a mandatory evacuation. He doesnt think theyre at that point yet and wants to leave it up to the local people. If you think its right for you, do it. I can tell you from what weve seen, a lot of people are deciding to stay. A Pediatric Hospital not far from here, airlifting babies out. The reason, those babies are in intensive care and the concern, power out at the hospital, they will not be able to operate ventilators for the babies. About the water system here. Theyve had water contamination issues here. The mayor told us if the Water Treatment plant goes down for whatever reason, they have got three days of good water before theyre in trouble.

The United Nations is calling for a humanitarian pause to the fights with isis in raqqah, syria so civilians can evacuate. They began an offensive against the selfdeclared capital in june. The u. S. Estimates 20,000 people are trapped and at risk. Isis released a disturbing video showing a 10yearold american boy it claims. He is reportedly the son of an isis fighter living in rae ingi. If true, the first time an american child has been used in isis propaganda. The boy makes threats against the u. S. That appear to be scripted. Our ongoing series called issues that matter exploring challenges our country faces. today, a closer look at the nations fight against isis. The state Department Says isis lost about 78 of its territory in iraq and 50 in syria since its peak in 2013. Nearly onethird of the losses happened in the past six months. The special president s envoy for the Global Coalition to counter isis, served under three administrations and just returned from a 12day trip to the middle east. Welcome. Thanks for having me. You were just in iraq. What have you learned . In iraq and syria. Had the honor traveling with secretary mattis into jordan and iraq. About a week ago north of raqqah where we heard about this report. Look, i think we have to keep things in perspective. Serven months ago isis sitting n a infrastructure of a city happening only six or seven months ago. Right now fighting for their life blockbyblock. 60 of the city cleared. Extreme extremely, extremely difficult and mindful of the report about potential humanitarian casualties. Saying two things. We talked to a number of idps that came out of raqqah. What are they . Displaced people. People who fled the fighting. All of these fleeing isis are fleeing into the lines of the force were working with and we are working with the United Nations to try to take care of them. About 20,000 people remain left in raqqah. They tell us the number one thing we have to do to help these people, defight isis. Theyre using civilians as human shields, a hospital in raqqah as primary base of operations. The number one thing we have to do, defeat them and as soon as we can. Its going well. Given the gains over the last six months while President Trump has been in office, how has the strategy changed since president obama . Well, a couple of when President Trump came in, he said, look, charged the entire National Security team to focus on a laser destroying isis. Look whats working, reinforce those efforts and things that havent and try to improve them. One thing he did early on was delegate authorities down to the lowest level in the field. That means in practice that as our military experts see an opportunity, they can seize it. The reason were 60 through raqqah now is because we saw an opportunity about four, five months ago in a town called topka, just there. Over a body of water, off an audacious military maneuver to do it. Saw an opportunity, delegated authorities to the field helped us take advantage of that. An operation launched in a week and we caught isis by surprise helping to set conditions for getting into raqqah. Delegate down authorities, shorten the cycle, it make as difference in the field and making sure our coalition it participating in the effort. I saw with my own eyes north of mosul. Important for viewers to understand what these brave americans are doing in the field. In a town called tellskuf, a navy s. E. A. L. Gave his life a year ago helping peshmerga. About 80 of the population returned. Restoring their community. We are helping with the coalition to make sure that land mines are cleared, water can get back and running, electricity back and i saw with my own eyes as these families come back only six or seven months ago were controlled by isis. What youre saying, sounds encouraging. Then we see that video, claiming theres an american little boy and describing him as an isis cub. A cute name for an ugly philosophy. When you see Something Like that, do you believe it . What do you make of it . Let me say the leader of isis is a guy named baghdadi, claims to be the caliphate. Losing all his territory. Havent heard from him since december and instead are putting out videos of children. I cant confirm this video or who this child is. They use children as human shields. Try to recruit them at suicide bombers. Used children inside iraq to blow up childrens soccer games, attack ice cream parlors of family going to celebrate the ede. We are moving as fast as we possibly cant mindful of how difficult this is. The global game of whack a mole with these guys, how has that affected efforts on the battlefield . A great question. Selfproclaimed caliphate, used to sit and plan the attacks. Planned brussels, paris, planning against us. We have to shrink their territory. At the same time through a Global Coalition, built a globe coalition, 69 countries, and working to share information as we collect out off the battlefield who these people are, putting them into a global data base. Information that you can figure out where the cells are . The key to stopping the attacks is information sharing. The overall effort will shift from the military phase in iraq and syria to Law Enforcement, intelligence and sharing information. One of the newest members, i me interpol. Known terrorists joined isis trying to move into iraq and syria and we want every Law Enforcement agency, Border Patrol officer can check a database and stop these people, routine stops trying to cross borders. Its a longterm effort, a longterm fight and information sharing, trying to close a net globally making sure they cant travel. Just as focused on that as the military side. Long term, everybody wants to know how long is long . Norah said just back from iraq. Literally just back. You just got back last night, just got back. I did. Got back last night. Interesting, even iraq, i was in saudi arabia before going to iraq. Interesting things are going on in that part of the world. Iraq and saudi arabia have not are any diplomatic relations since 1990. I visited the iraq saudi Border Crossing just opened in 27 years. Very helpful in terms of the postisis phase making sure they can never come back and well have stability there. Im thinking you need to come back to the table. So much to talk about. Very interesting. Thank you. Thanks to you. Thank you.

Done some of their own research. What do you think about these chairs and that table . Working with a bassett designer was really easy. Us being young professionals, were so busy. Theres no way we couldve designed it ourselves. No. We love it , amazon announced its first order of business as it prepares to take over whole foods. The online giant closes its 13. 7 billion deal to acquire whole foods monday and then will immediately cut prices on store selection of staples, whole trade bananas and organic eggs. Kroger, costco and walmart plunged after this announcement. Might be worried. In chicago, melody, great to see you. Reporter good morning. Those who remember whole foods as a hippie coop in austin, texas, must marvel at the size of this deal. Then, of course it became the paycheck. What is the strategy . Reporter the strategy is very smart. They realized they have a perception problem and want this brand more accessible to more people. Whole paycheck. Amazon knows pricing has been high. As much as 15 higher than competition and want to deal with this problem headon. Very smart move. Classic amazon, because theyve auv be often been willing to lose short term to win long term. Less profitable in the short term. To the extetent they expand the scale more profit. Whole foods doesnt have the scale those other Grocery Stores have. Thats worth noting. Right. Reporter not at all. Really small in grocery. Whole foods has about 2 market share. Amazon, 1 . Meanwhile, walmart is about 20 . So the gloves are off. They recognize they want to go at it hard. Done it before. I wouldnt count them out but scared in the middle. Not walmart or amazon. Biggest brick and mortar retailer, online retailer, in the middle, kroger, a mom and pop Grocery Stores of which there are thousands, its going to get really tough. Melody, back to bills point a second ago. Known at whole paycheck, a chichi store. What does amazon want . Whats the new brand they want for whole foods now . Reporter what they want is obviously to extend the brand. To more customers. No question about it. They want to take advantage of whole Foods Private label business. The 365 brand that has over 3,000 products they can sell immediately online. They want to take advantage of distribution. 460 stores in some of the wealthiest zip codes in america. That has longterm implications for them. Well beyond grocery. There are a lot of synergies here. An incredibly smart buy. And its going to be an incredible difference to all parts of jeff basils plan. Taking over the world. Thank you, melody. Good to see you. Amy suchumer is caught in a controversy over equal pay.

President trump this month called the Opioid Epidemic a national emergency. The cover story of septembers National Geographic looks into the science of addiction and its impact on the brains pathways. Author fran smith writes, addiction remolds neural circuits to a supreme value to cocaine, heroin at the expense of other interests such as health, work, family or life itself. Fran smith joins us at the table to discuss. Hello. Good to see you. I think when most think of addicts they dont think they got brain issues. The brain play as huge role. Addiction causes hundreds of changes in the structure of the brain, and the chemistry of the brain and the pathways that send nerve signals so that cells communicate with each other. And the its very complicated but the basic essence of it is that it remaps the brain and causes the brain to focus on this one thing. One thing only. That object of desire, and blot out other things of interest. So i think of it kind of like a zoom lens on a camera. Youre focusing on this one thing and Everything Else is out of view. At the same time, the brain changes your ability to put the lid on desire. This kind of thinking, when did it start . Back when addiction was affecting the black community and inner city, just cast aside as junkies, addicts, seen as a moral failing. Now its become more pronounced in other communities, now we hear its a disease. When did that change and how did that change . Well, the community recognized that its a disease for a long time, the medical community. Law enforcement is coming around. I was in huntington, west virginia, hit hard and talked with the former police chief saying we arent going to arrest our way out of this problem. What changed it, not only as the Opioid Epidemic, thats opened up peoples eyes to the problem, but the the technology. Back in the 70s when heroin was a real problem in the inner cities we didnt have brain scanners. Nobody knew what was going on inside its brain. Given that, will we see an addiction vaccine in our lifetime . There is work on addiction vaccine. A number of studies. There have been promising results, but nothing immediately on the horizon. Some of the things that have been helpful include cognitive therapy. Right . How can we retrain the brain after being addicted to drugs or alcohol . Right. Cognitive therapy has shown really great effects for lots of people, and it really trains people how to think it differently about about drugs and alcohol, and you can see in brain scanning studies that it really does begin to change how those circuits are operating. Rewiring the brain. Are some more prone to addiction than others . There are genetic sfeectsasp. Know identified a gene or addictive person at. One thing we know is that kids, adolescents, are really vulnerable and that so many people who have addiction later in life really begin misusing drugs or alcohol as teens or young adults. Adolescent brain is still very, very vulnerable, not fully formed. Exactly. Your article is very, very good. Very well done. A lot of good information there. Thank you very much. Thank you. Fran smith. That article i talked about is in the September Issue of National Geographic out tuesday. Comedienne amy schumer caught up in a new debate over equal pay. Variety magazine flatly asked netflix for more money for her comedy special. The request came after chris rock and Dave Chappelle made headlines commanding 20 million for a network special. First received 11 million for the special and later received significantly more. Some people on social media began to criticize schumer saying, she doesnt deserve the same pay as two comedy icons. God forbid she would ask for more money. Schumer posted on instagram to clarify, Women Deserve equal pay, but not to chris and dave. They are legends and two of the greatest comics of alltime. I didnt ask for the same as my friends. I did ask for more than the initial offer. I think thats an important clarification. Shes classy, and funny. We love her. I dont know about classy. I dont even think amy schumer would call her classy. Coming up, the peaceful alaskan landscape. I love the jokes. Spoiled by the construction of a golden copper mine ahead. What i learned in alaska about the possible impact on the food chain, including those furry locals. First, a check of your local weather. A hot debate is brewing in alaska these days over what is worth more. Gold in the ground or gold in the water . A reported 60 million salmon surged through the States Bristol bay last month. Some 30 million caught and will feed half of the worlds demand. Near the headwaters of bristol bay, a Canadian Mining Company Northern Dynasty found what they think could be the biggest gold and copper mine in the world, and if they dig it, the side effects could be toxic. That Mines Development stalled under president obama, but President Trumps administration has given the controversial project new life and as part of my serious the wonder list i learn how this might be affected including the big furry residents of cat mine national park. Reporter this is not supposed to happen. We are supposed to hunker down and admire distant grizzlies through long lenses. These two didnt get that memo. Holy [ bleep ]. Thats unbelievable we in the middle of a bear parade. Well, we stood our ground. We we made our focus in one spot and they came to us. Reporter yeah. You guys okay . Having fun . Oh, yeah. Reporter brad believes this is safe in part because this is one of the rare spots in alaska where humans carry cameras instead of guns. Heres that one place where bears respect people, because the people respect bears. Reporter there was a time when the state of alaska naught they killed the bears there would be more fish for the people, but brad tells me the salmon runs werent nearly as healthy. When this guy poops in the woods as bears do, hes spreading marine nutrients in the values, stewards where everything is connected by salmon. Scared every year. Will they come back . Every year they show up like miracles i say, oh, thank you. Everybodys happy. The bears, gulls, eagles, foxes, wolves, all cash in. Reporter at the top of that food chain are all the people that cash in on the salmon, and what really worries them these days is what lies benieath the ground above bristol bay. Its this spot right here. Reporter turns out that red spot mark as monster fortune. Northern dynasty believes there are 100 million ounces of gold in them there hills, amen shill0 billion pounds of copper. This little chunk of real estate, this chunk, could be worth half a trillion dollars over the next century or so. But in addition to gold and copper, this ground also holds millions of tons of sulphur. Mixed with air and water, sulphur turns to acid. Critics of the pebble mine worry that acid could get into the watershed, destroying one of the last great salmon runs left on the planet. The developers of pebble mine insist shes can pull that gold and copper out safely. The idea the mine will destroy the fishery is incorrect, they insist, but fishermen and kovationists and native tribes disagree and fought the project more than a decade. Then President Trump won and one of his epa administrators, first act, opening the door, settles lawsuits and allowing the development of the mine to move forward. So the fishing folk, interesting. You have fishing republicans versus mining republicans fighting over what do we want to risk . You know, salmon used to run all up and down the east coast. We dammed so many rivers, the last great spot, where they just keep coming back in droves, is so well managed, its there, and a lot of people say thats not worth gambling. Wow. Really is one of the most beautiful places in the world. Alaska is. Yeah. Really is. Thinking that, too. The bears. Never thought id get that close. I saw the guide shooing away the bears. Where were you . Right behind him. Oh, okay. And we have guns on them. Okay . No. A flare. One spot where there are no hunting. Theyve opened up hunting for predators elsewhere in alaska but this one spot, they get to coexist. When i was in alaska, they had a gun for just in case. Yeah. Really interesting. Thank you. And i think id want a gun, rather than a flare. A little plug, wonder list season three, back on next month. And hear more on our podcast on itunes and apple pod cast.
