Three years later, he was mourning his friend and ally, boris nemsof, who was gunned down near the kremlin.

The British Government believes russias Security Services did it, and president Vladimir Putin knew. Over the weekend, bill oreilly challenged President Donald Trump for his support of putin. Putin is a killer. We got a lot of killers. Got a lot of killers. What, you think our country is so innocent .

President trumps executive order on travel and immigration continues to work its way through the federal courts. The president insists the travel ban is necessary to protect the United States from the threat of terrorism. Mr. Trump says the media deliberately ignores some terror attacks, and the white house even compiled a list. Well, it turns out cbs did cover three quarters of those listed. Some that werent reported were so minor that no one was even hurt. And either way, the president s travel ban wouldnt have prevented any of them. Heres major garrett. Isis is on a campaign of genocide committing atrocities ro reporter in his first speech to troops as commander in chief, President Trump said the media was ignoring the reality of terrorism. Its gotten to a point where its not even being reported. And in many cases, the very, very Dishonest Press doesnt want to report it. Reporter the president offered no examples to the bewildered soldiers. Neither did press secretary sean spicer. The white house produced a list riddled with spelling errors. It falsely claimed that most of the 78 attacks motivated by isis from september 2014 to december 2016 have not received the Media Attention they deserved. Just like over this bridge is where it happened. Reporter on this list, the San Bernardino shooting in december 2015 that left 14 dead. We are in orlando, near the scene of the deadliest mass shooting in american history. Reporter also on the list, the june 2016 orlando nigub gunned down by omar mateen, an american citizen who pledged his allegiance to isis. And the atrocity in nice, france on bastille day, 2016. 86 were killed. I want to also address the islamic terror attack in france. Reporter that carnage prompted then candidate trump to postpone the announcement of mike pence as his running mate. The list also had smaller scale attacks, like ones in egypt and kuwait city, where there were no casualties. Also mentioned in august 2015 episode where three americans tackled a moroccan passenger armed with a box cutter and Assault Rifle on a train from amsterdam to paris. All three became International Heroes and met with president obama. The white house knows these events were covered and the accusation would lead organizations to remind audiences of their events, partially distracting from the legal woes the president S Immigration order is facing in the courts an order the white house says is meant to deal with these terrorist anxieties. The white house is trying to visit President Trumps visit to the united kingdom, but a lot of brits are not fond of the idea. Nearly 2 million have signed an online petition to keep him out. And a top lawmaker there is moving to make sure mr. Trump does not get the opportunity to address parliament. Elizabeth palmer reports. Reporter as you can see, the morning papers are just full of this story that the speaker has said that President Trump should not address a full session of parliament because of what he called his racist and sexist views. Our opposition to racism and to sexism and our support for equality before the law and an independent j important considerations in the house of commons. [ applause ] reporter it was a surprisingly strong statement of opinion from a man who is supposed to be impartial. But it went down well with many mps. Well done. Reporter but Prime Minister theresa may, who appeared to hit it off with donald trump on her official visit to the u. S. Last month, stressed the uk u. S. Partnership. We should engage patiently and constructively with america as a friend and ally. An ally that has helped guarantee the longest period of peace that europe has ever known.

The chinese president xi in 2015 faced opposition for his countrys human rights abuses. Nevertheless, he got to address parliament and dine with the queen. Its pomp and ceremony like that, that President Trump can expect when, or if he comes. First Lady Melania Trump has settled a libel suit against a blogger who repeated the allegation that said she once served as a high priced escort. Her lawyers claim it was false, and damaged her ability to earn millions of dollars. Meanwhile, mr. Trump is about to open a brand new golf course in the mostly muslim emirate of dubai.

Days before the inauguration, he said he would separate himself from his businesses. These papers are just a piece of the many, Many Companies being put into trusts to be run by my two sons. I hope at the end of eight years, ill come back and say you did a good job. Reporter despite his efforts to distance himself, not all documents have been filed. Trump owns at least four corporations with the word dubai in their names, and to date, none of their management documents have been updated. At least one still lists him as president. According to the delaware secretary of state. In an effort to show progress has been made, the Trump Organization released this document, indicating that mr. Trump resigned from over 400 entities. And records show at least two properties in new york have been transferred to the donald j. Trump revokable trust. But one property remains particularly thorny. The federal government now run by President Trump, also owns the trump washington, d. C. Hotel. The lease specifically says that an elected official cannot be a party to the contract. So new documents filed by the Trump Organization with washington, d. C. Government state that all Beneficial Ownership previously held by donald j. Trump personally now is held by the donald j. Trump revokable trust. The agency overseeing the contract wont tell us if this change is sufficient. One of the most scary things about all of this is how easy it is for anyone, a foreign government, a lobbyist or special Interest Group to literally funnel money into the pockets of the president and the president s familyhr tough the hotel properties.

His same is sam book. While his high wattage smile and infectious laugh may remind you of a favorite nephew, theres virtually no chance you have ever met a kid like him. Sam, who will turn 6 this tuesday, is one of just 250 people in the world who suffer from vanishing white matter disease. A brain disorder thates white matter, the substance that transmits neuro impulses, and leads to the loss of motor control. Happy birthday to you there is no cure, and the disease is typically fatal by the age of 10. Every birthday feels like its the last that you have. Reporter dont turn 6, because then youre getting closer to 10. Exactly. Theres so much we want to do with him and see. Reporter alison and her husband nick have kept careful track in the three years since their sons diagnosis as sams speech has slowed down. What is is your favorite part of being in school in play.

Reporter it is not a pretty thought, but its a real one for parents of kids suffering from real diseases. What is your name . Eliza. Reporter 95 of all Rare Diseases have no Treatment Options at all. With so few people suffering from them, there is no incentive for research and development of a cure. I want to get it just perfect, because it really means a lot. Reporter thats a fact and curator of beyond the diagnosis, a collection of intimate portraits of children with Rare Diseases, like bertrand, the first patient diagnosed with a disease where he has hundreds of seizure every day. I took the wheelchair out and i just made him look like he was having a good day. Its not just a picture but a real person im dealing with. Reporter the objective is to humanize these diseases through portraits of kids like theodora, who has a fatal heart conditions. Megan, who suffers from a rare chrome zonal disorder that slows the blood flow to her heart and lungs. Maybe this and be inspired and find a cure for it. Reporter beyond the diagnosis hopes to put a face to all 7,000 of these Rare Diseases. Its ambitious, but were going to do it.

Reporter 17yearold austin and his younger brother max are the faces of muscular dystrophy, the age of 20. Most kids my age with my disability are on death row. Theyre basically towards the oenldz of their lives. Reporter but they have hope more than most kids. An experimental drug seems to be helping. Its not a cure, but it does seem to slow down the progression of the disease. Austin and max are two of roughly 100 children enrolled in clinical trials. I do believe this is holding the kids from the edge of the cliff. Reporter jennifer is austin and maxs mother. Shes seen austin able to maintain certain functions while on the drug and regain others, like raising his arm above his head. Yes reporter max, one of the first to get the drug, is still walking more than four years later. But in this world of rare disease, hope is an elusive the path to drug approval is not an easy one, in part because the sample size is so small. Im uncomfortable with the evidence to date. Reporter four months ago, an fda panel recommended against approving the drug until the Company Provided more data that the drug actually works. If that decision becomes final, it could threaten access to the drug for this family. Its almost worse to be shown something that can treat your children and that it can be taken away, than to come to terms with children that are ill. Reporter which brings us back to lucas and the moving way he hopes to keep attention focused on Rare Diseases and pressure on researchers and regulators, who may be able to provide hope. Theyre trying to do the child justice and the family justice. Reporter when we first met him at his gallery in rhode island l finishing touches on the portrait of sam buck. Precise, delicate work using a syringe to form images, dot by dot. I get pretty involved with it, and it becomes very difficult to actually paint, because i start to fully understand what this kid is going through and what the family is going through. Then its no longer a portrait to me. Its really a personal experience. Reporter but even lucas didnt know how personal, until he brought the portrait to sams family for a look. Just incredible. Whos that . Me. Reporter now, his vanishing white manner has a face. His personality really shows through. You captured his joy.

Reporter the emergency hearing got started about 30 minutes with lawyers from the Trump Administration urging the ban be reinstated. They have several key arguments.

On the other side, lawyers from washington and minnesota are arguing the ban hurts their states and as residents it violates numerous constitutional provisions and amounts to discrimination against muslims. Now, a ruling could come within days, but whoever loses, is certain to immediately go to the Supreme Court. But the court would need five votes to issue a ruling, and with one seat still vacant, the idealogical lines. That could mean it would defer to the Appeals Court in this case. But there are other legal changes making their way through the system. Like that one in boston where a federal judge on friday upheld President Trumps travel ban. Jan crawford tonight. Thank you. The new secretary of eucation was sworn in tonight, but there was so much opposition in the senate to betsy devos, that for the first time a Vice President acting in his role as president of the senate, had to come to the rescue of a cabinet nominee. Heres nancy cordes. Reporter Vice President pence bounded up the Capitol Steps and into the history books today with his tiebreaking vote for betsy devos. The senate being equally divided, the Vice President votes in the affirmative and the nomination is confirmed. Reporter democrats universally opposed devos. Im voting no way. Reporter and have more other nominees, to the frustration of republican leader mitch mcconnell. Weve done a little research, and we found that this is the slowest time for a new cabinet to be up and running since george washington. Reporter democrats argue theres a big difference between President Trump and president washington, who famously could not tell a lie. When he just says stuff that he knows isnt true reporter connecticut senator chris murphy. This countrys reputation around the world is shrinking in real time every day. Every time that the president goes out and says something that is clearly not true. Reporter some republicans defended mr. Trumps new claim that major terror attacks are going unreported. I think its factually correct that the news media is putting out a lot of fake news. Reporter House Speaker paul ryan was reluctant to weigh in. Are you getting concerned at all about his grasp of the truth . Look, im going to do my job. Ill let you guys do yours, with respect to how you report or what you dont report. Repr that it hurts our credibility around the world when he says things like that . Margaret brennan is covering the immigration ban from the white house. Were going to take it through the system. Reporter President Trump said he may take the fight to the Supreme Court to keep his temporary travel ban in place. Its very important. Its very important for the country, regardless of me or whoever succeeds at a later date. I mean, we have to have security in our country. Reporter on capitol hill, Homeland Security chief john kelly admitted that no one from the seven banned countries has committed a terror attack on u. S. Soil. But its entirely possible that someone thats coming in, whether its during this stay during the court action or previous to this period, would do us harm. But you dont have any proof not until the boom. Not until what . Not until they actually blow something up or go into a mall and kill people. Reporter kelly said he does not plan to ban additional countries and took responsibility for confusion surrounding the rollout. I should have delayed it just a bit so that i could talk to members of congress, particularly the leadership of the committees like this, to prepare them for what was coming. Reporter yesterday, just hours after the president accused the press of covering up terrorism, the white house released a list of 78 attacks it claimed the media had intentionally chosen not to report. It included attacks that got extensive Media Coverage like those in San Bernardino and orlando, but it was riddled with typos, mentioned incidents that were not related to terrorism, and ignored many attacks in israel, afghanistan, and iraq. The list also does not include a mass shooting last month by white supremacist at a mosque in quebec. Senior adviser Kellyanne Conway President Trump has not said or tweeted one public word about this. Wa why hasnt the president offered his sympathy to our neighbors in the north . I will ask him. He doesnt tweet about everything. He doesnt need to comment about everything. Reporter conway did say the white house was sad about the senseless loss of life and may discuss it with canadas Prime Minister, who she said, scott, could visit next week. Margaret brennan at the white house. Well, also at the white house today, President Trump got his facts wrong again, this time in a meeting with a group of sheriffs officers. And yet the murder rate in our country is the highest its been in 47 years, right . Did you know that . 47 years. I used to use that id say that in a speech and everybody was surprised because the press doesnt tell it like it is. It wasnt to their advantage to say that. Well, fbi statistics show the president isnt just wrong, he has it backwards. Have a look. Cle fact is the murder rate is hit in 2014 before it ticked up just a bit in 2015. Those are the most recent numbers availabl from the fbi the president s false claim that the media are consciously underreporting the murder rate comes the day after he made the false charge that the media are conspiring to cover up terrorist attacks. When the president speaks of russia, he talks of wanting better relations. But tonight, a prominent opponent of president putin of russia is fighting for his life. For the second time in two years, hes opinion overcome by a mysterious illness. And Elizabeth Palmer is following this. But those who oppose Vladimir Putins regime risk not only their wellbeing and their freedom. They also risk their lives. Reporter that was Vladimir Karamurza eight months ago. Tonight, he lies seriously ill in a moscow hospital. His wife thinks hes been as he was in 2015. The victim, he said, of an assassination attempt by his political enemies. I, of course, have no doubt this was deliberate poisoning, deliberate poisoning, motivated to kill. Reporter in 2012, still very much alive, karamurza helped organize a landmark antiputin demonstration in moscow in spite of the risks. Three years later, he was mourning his friend and ally, boris nemsof, who was gunned down near the kremlin. For anyone in the russian opposition, the news of karamurzas illness recalls the agonizing death of alexander litvinenko, who drank tea in london laced with polonium. The British Government believes russias Security Services did it, and president Vladimir Putin knew. Over the weekend, bill oreilly challenged President Donald Trump for his support of putin. Putin is a killer. We got a lot of killers. Got a lot of killers. What, you think our country is so innocent . Reporr next to a portrait of Vladimir Karamurza, senator john mccain answered that question. I repeat there is no moral equivalent between that butcher and thug and kgb colonel and the United States of america. Reporter as recently as last month, scott, during secretary tillersons confirmation hearing, karamurza appealed directly to the u. S. Government asking for its support in promoting democracy and the rule of law in russia. Liz palmer in our london newsroom. Liz, thank you. Next, the rapid growth in opoid overdoses. Thats frequent heartburn. Its always lurking around. But im safe. I took my prevacid®24hr today. I didnt. One pill prevents the acid that causes heartburn, all day, all night. Prevacid®24hr.

His brotherinlaw died of an overdose. The numbers are huge, and were only in february. Last year, we saw almost 100 increase in the total number of Overdose Deaths in our county alone. Thats a shocking number of people. Reporter the deaths are blamed almost entirely on powerful new opioids, like fentanyl. Heroin is four to five times the potency of morphine. Fentanyl is about 100 times the potency of morphine. Reporter and carfentanyl, the latest drug to flood the market is 100 times more powerful than fentanyl. Dr. Joan papp works in the emergency room at metrohealth medical center. So this is naloxone.

In boston today, snow and confetti fell on the patriots victory parade. On display were some of the five super bowl trophies they won over the years, but Michelle Miller found there was a lot of talk centered around one sweaty shirt. Reporter as the super bowl champion patriots made their way through the slushy streets of boston, so did the news about tom bradys stolen jersey. Did you hear about bradys stolen jersey .

I put it in my bag. I absolutely, 100 put it in my bag. Reporter he put out a be on the lookout soon after. So if it shows up on ebay somewhere, someone let me know. Try to track that down. Reporter its estimated the gameworn jersey would be worth at least a half Million Dollars on the auction block. Compare that with babe ruths 1932 worldie and a 1956 yogi berra jersey which sold for half of that. While the mystery has yet to be resolved, fans here put the theft in perspective. Dont even know who took it or what, but its a jersey. We got the lombardi trophy. We got the fifth ring. Its all good. Reporter scott, the Lieutenant Governor of texas has put the Texas Rangers on this case to find quarterback tom bradys stolen property. Michelle miller for us tonight. Michelle, thank you.

Reporter Sean Degennaro is a ford vehicle harmony engineer, he mixes art with science to find just the right sound. Should we do a medley, so Something Like a chime that goes dadada, ho monotone, a single ding. Reporter a decade ago a car need only a handful of noises, like a turn signal. But as vehicles get smarter, the beeps, ticks, and tocks, number in the dozens, and include new warnings. The forward collision warning, we had to add a lot of harsh frequencies in there and knocking sounds. Reporter the idea is we need your attention now. We need your attention immediately. Everything has an aesthetic. Reporter Alfonso Albais from infinity. The sound of the door, this thunk, this conveys a sense that the body has a rigidity, that the car itself is well engineered. Reporter gmc even worked with hollywood sound engineers and like making a movie the ideal chime can take up to a year to produce. A year is a long time on a ding. It is, it is. But its going to be there forever.

President trumps executive order on travel and immigration continues to work its way through the federal courts. The president insists the travel ban is necessary to protect the United States from the threat of terrorism. Mr. Trump says the media deliberately ignores some terror attacks, and the white house even compiled a list. Well, it turns out cbs did cover three quarters of those listed. Some that werent reported were so minor that no one was even hurt. And either way, the president s travel ban wouldnt have prevented any of them. Heres major garrett. Isis is on a campaign of genocide committing atrocities across the world. Reporter in his first speech to troops s commander in chief, President Trump told soldiers the media was ignoring the reality of terrorism. Its gotten to a point where its not even being reported. And in many cases, the very, very Dishonest Press doesnt want to report it. Reporter the president offered no examples to the bewildered soldiers. Neither did press secretary sean spicer. The white house produced a list riddled with spelling errors. The list falsely claimed that most of the 78 attacks motivated by isis from september 2014 to december 2016 have not received the Media Attention they deserved. Just right over this bridge is where it happened. Reporter on this list, the San Bernardino shooting in december 2015 that left 14 dead. We are in orlando, near the scene of the deadliest mass shooting in american history. Reporter also on the list, the june 2016 orlando nightclub massacre, where 49 people were american citizen who pledged his allegiance to isis. And the atrocity in nice, france on bastille day, 2016. 86 were killed. I want to also address the islamic terror attack in france. Reporter that carnage prompted then candidate trump to postpone the announcement of mike pence as his running mate. The list also had smaller scale attacks with Little Details like ones in egypt and kuwait city, where there were no casualties. Also mentioned in august 2015 episode where three americans tackled a moroccan pasenger armed with a box cutter and Assault Rifle on a train from amsterdam to paris. These three dont really need any introduction. Reporter all three became International Heroes and met with president obama. The white house knows these events were covered and the accusation would lead organizations to remind audiences of their events, partially distractin legal woes the president S Immigration order is facing in the courts an order the white house says is meant to deal with these terrorist anxieties. The white house is trying to schedule President Trumps visit to the united kingdom, but a lot of brits are not fond of the idea. Nearly 2 million have signed an online petition to keep him out. And a top lawmaker there is moving to make sure mr. Trump does not get the opportunity to address parliament. Elizabeth palmer reports. Reporter as you can see, the morning papers are just full of this story that the speaker has said that President Trump should not address a full session of parliament because of what he called his racist and sexist views. Our opposition to racism and to sexism and our support for equality before the law and an independent judiciary are hugely hoportant considerations in the [ applause ] reporter it was a surprisingly strong statement of opinion from a man who is supposed to be impartial. But it went down well with many mps. Well done. Reporter but Prime Minister theresa may, who appeared to hit it off with donald trump on her official visit to the u. S. Last month, stressed the uk u. S. Partnership. We should engage patiently and constructively with america as a friend and ally. An ally that has helped guarantee the longest period of peace that europe has ever known. Reporter that may be so, but in fact, many britons object to President Trumps policies. And in particular, his executive order suspending immigration from seven muslim majority countries. An online petition called on the uk government to cancel the president s official state visit. It already has 1. 8 million signatures. There have, of course, been controversial statements before. Chinese president xi in 2015 faced opposition for his countrys human rights abuses. Nevertheless, he got to address parliament and dine with the queen. Its pomp and ceremony like that, that President Trump can expect when, or if he comes. First Lady Melania Trump has settled a libel suit against a blogger who repeated the allegation that said she once served as a high priced escort. Mrs. Trump is still suing the daily mail for posting the report online. Her lawyers claim it was false, and damaged her ability to earn millions of dollars. Meanwhile, mr. Trump is about to open a brand new golf course in the mostly muslim emirate of dubai. Anna werner has the story from another trump golf course in california. Reporter this golf course in rancho palace verdes is owned by mr. Trump. Hell still be in a position to make a profit as president , as course in dubai. This evening, local dubai reporters will get a sneak peek of the newest trump property. An 18whole golf course in the united arab emirates. In a few weeks the course will officially open for business and welcome golfers, making it the first major trump project to debut since he became president. Days before the inauguration, he said he would separate himself from his businesses. These papers are just a piece of the many, Many Companies being put into trusts to be run by my two sons. I hope at the end of eight years, ill come back and say you did a good job. Reporter despite his efforts to distance himself, not all documents have been filed. For example, President Trump owns at least four corporations with the word dubai in their names. To date, none of their management documents have been updated. At least one still lists a president according to the delaware secretary of state. In an effort to show progress has been made, the Trump Organization released this document, indicating that mr. Trump resigned from over 400 entities. And records show at least two properties in new york have been transferred to the donald j. Trump revokable trust. But one property remains particularly thorny. The federal government now run by President Trump, also owns the trump washington, d. C. Hotel. The lease specifically says that an elected official cannot be a party to the contract. So new documents filed by the trump oranization with washington, d. C. Government state that all Beneficial Ownership previously held by donald j. Trump personally now is held by the donald j. Trump revokable trust. The agency overseeing the contract wont tell us if this change is sufficient. One of the most scary things about all of this is how easy it is for anyone, a foreign government, a lobbyist or special Interest Group to pockets of the president and the president s family through the hotel properties. There are some diseases that are so rare that very little money is dedicated to trying to find a cure. Go and some of these diseases strike small children. Jim axelrod found an artist who is devoting his entire life to putting a face on this problem, one kid at a time. Lets do it. Reporter lets do it. His name is sam buck. While his high wattage smile and infectious laugh may remind you of a favorite nephew, theres virtually no chance you have ever met a kid like him. Sam, who will turn 6 this tuesday, is one of just 250 people in the world who suffer from vanishing white matter disease. A brain disorder that destroys white matter, the substance that transmits neuro impulses, and leads to the loss of motor control. Happy birthday to you there is no cure, and the disease is typically fatal by the age of 10. Every birthday feels like its the last that you have. Reporter dont turn 6, because then youre getting closer to 10. Exactly. Theres so much we want to do with him and see. Reporter alison and her husband nick have kept careful track in the three years since their sons diagnosis as sams speech has slowed down. What is is your favorite part of being in school . Play. Reporter and his ability to walk, slowly eroding, leaving him now unable to even stand. I think its really hard for people to wrap their heads around the fact that a child like sam could be dying. Reporter the bucks are trying to show sam as much of time they have left. Hes been to 30 states and 19 countries, from these mayan ruins in mexico, to meeting his hero, formula one racecar driver sebastien vitle in texas. Hes even managed to squeeze in a meeting with the duchess of cambridge. We dont want to waste all our time about what is to come. We know what is to come. We want to be able to enjoy whatever time we have with him. Reporter it is not a pretty thought, but its a real one for parents of kids suffering from Rare Diseases. What is your name . Eliza. Reporter 95 of all Rare Diseases have no Treatment Options at all. With so few people suffering from them, there is no incentive for research and development of a cure. I want to get it just perfect, because it really means a lot. Reporter thats a fact not and curator of beyond the diagnosis, a collection of intimate portraits of children with Rare Diseases, like bertrand, one of the first kids lucas painted for his traveling exhibit. He was the first patient diagnosed with lgly1 deficiency. Bertrand has hundreds of seizure every day. When it came to the portrait, i took the wheelchair out and made it look like he was just having a good day. Its not just a picture but a real person im dealing with. Reporter the objective is to humanize these diseases through portraits of kids like theodora, who has a fatal heart condition. Megan, who suffers from a rare chromosomal disorder that slows the blood flow to her heart and lungs. And hanna who suffers from a rare form of epilepsy that lds skills. Maybe somebody will look at this and be inspired and find a cure for it. That would be awesome. Reporter beyond the diagnosis hopes to put a face to all 7,000 of these Rare Diseases. Its ambitious, but were going to do it. Reporter the idea was hatched by patricia wellton, of the rare disease united foundation, whose two daughters suffer from Rare Diseases. You cant look at these and not be moved. You cant. Reporter so far, theyre up to 60 portraits by artists from around the world. Each hoping to do with paint what cant be fully done by words. You dont just see a disease, you see noah and ashland. You see miriam. Exactly. And that was the point. I accepted that im in a wheelchair and thats where im going to be. Reporter 17yearold austin mcclaire and his younger brother max are the faces of dushend disease often fatal by the age of 20. Most kids my age with my disability are on death row. Theyre basically towards the end of their lives. Reporter but they have hope more than most kids. An experimental drug seems to be helping. Its not a cure, but it does seem to slow down the progression of the disease. Austin and max are two of roughly 100 children enrolled in clinical trials. I do believe this is holding the kids from the edge of the cliff. Reporter jennifer is austin and maxs mother. Shes seen austin able to maintain certain functions while on the drug and regain others, like raising his arm above his head. Yes reporter max, one of the first to get the drug, is still walking more than four years later. But in this world of rare disease, hope is an elusive commodity. The path to drug approval is not an easy one, in part because the sample size is so small. Im uncomfortable with the evidence to date. Reporter four months ago, an fda panel recommended against approving the drug until the Company Provided more data that the drug actually works. If that decision becomes final, it could threaten access to the drug for this family. Its almost worse to be shown something that can treat your children and that it can be taken away, than to come to terms with having children that are ill. Reporter which brings us back to lucas and the moving way he hopes to keep attention focused on Rare Diseases and pressure on researchers and regulators, who may be able to provide hope. Theyre trying to do the child justice and the family justice. Reporter when we first met him at his gallery in rhode island, lucas was putting the finishing touches on portrait of sam buck. Precise, delicate work using a syringe to form images, dot by dot. I get pretty involved with it, and it becomes very difficult to actually paint, because i start to fully understand what this kid is going through and what the family is going through. Then its no longer a portrait to me. Its really a personal experience. Reporter but even lucas didnt know how personal, until he brought the portrait to sams family for a look. Just incredible. Whos that . Me. Reporter now, his vanishing white manner has a face. His personality really shows through in the painting. It does. You captured his joy. Reporter a sweet, darling face to put on this hideously cruel, and destructive disease. Every cause needs a face. Yep. Thats a beautiful face. Ok, it says you apply the blue okone to me. Y this.

Mireya villarreal introduces us to the man behind the music industrys most precious metal. Reporter on grammy night, a fortunate few go home with an arm full of excess baggage. Its a burden theyre more than happy to bear. This is really awkward holding these.

Its quiet. We have no crime. People look out for one another. Reporter craftsman john billings came here in 1993 to build light fixtures for a client. He never left. When you came to visit ridgewa i want to be . Instantly. Reporter he set up shop and brought his most famous work of art with him. How many grammys do you do in this workshop . All together, were making 600 grammys in a years time. Reporter growing up in los angeles, billings apprenticed for bob graves, the grandfather of the grammys who crafted the first statue in 1959. On his deathbed in 1983, graves passed on his legacy. He asked me to promise that i would not let another company get the Grammy Awards, that i would keep them. So this is the mold for the cabinet portion of the grammys. Reporter each grammy starts with a base. 650 degree molten metal is hand poured into a custom mold. It solidifies almost instantly into a shape recognized around the world. Metals. Yes. Its zinc, aluminum, and it has some trace elements in it. And i cant tell you what those are. Reporter thats a secret . Yes. Reporter he even gave it its own name. Grammia. It takes 15 meticulous hours to assemble each statue, piece by piece. Finished only when the familiar gold plated horn is screwed into place. We dont know each grammy, whos going to get that grammy, but we imagine in our minds its going to our favorite person. Reporter and one time it actually did. It was when bob dylan was handed his Lifetime Achievement award. Congratulations. And then i realized that my hero, i made something for my hero. This is my bench where i do a lot of repair work. This was the one that taylor swift dropped when she was it broke, and we got her to autograph it for us. Reporter at 72 years old, john billings has turned minor mishaps into treasured memories. And a lifetime of craftsmanship into a simple nickname the grammy man. I dont know if making the grammys defines me, but it certainly fulfills my needs. Reporter how long will you continue to do this . As long as i can. Reporter after all, he has a promise to keep to the mentor who asked him to keep the grammy in the family over 30 years ago. Do you feel like youve lived up to that promise . I do.
