Nancy, good morning. Reporter good morning. Yeah, the gop field is just so large that service essentially split into two tiers based on five recent polls including ours. The top ten get a coveted spot in primetime. The rest are relegated to what one participant is calling the happy hour debate. In the meantime, a side debate has broken out between jeb bush and Hillary Clinton. Candidates. Reporter in a dramatic announcement tuesday night, fox news unveiled who made the cut for tomorrows primetime debate. In the first spot, directly billionaire donald trump. Reporter as the clear leader in recent polls, donald trump will be first among equals. Even fox news anchors seemed a bit incredulous. Obviously, the stunning news, although weve kind of gotten used to it in the last week or two, donald trump. Reporter joining trump will be jeb bush, scott walker, Mike Huckabee, ben carson, ted cruz, marco rubio and rand paul. Governors Chris Christie and john kasich narrowly made the cut.

So im not sure we need a half a billion dollars for Womens Health issues. Reporter bush said he misspoke, but Hillary Clinton quickly jumped on the comment. Now, hes got no problem giving billions of dollars away to super wealthy and powerful corporations, but i guess Womens Health just isnt a priority for him. Reporter bush has had to walk back a couple other comments recently. Once when he talked about phasing out medicare for some people and also when he said workers just need to work longer hours. Gop leaders say hell have to be more careful in the debate tomorrow night when a lot of gop voters are going to be tuning into this race for the first time, charlie. Republican National Committee chairman Reince Priebus is with us from cleveland, the location of tomorrow nights debate. Good morning, mr. Chairman. Hey, good morning, charlie. Good morning, everyone. Lets start with what nancy was saying about jeb bush. What impact will this have in terms of bush having to be deflected, to explain himself . Well, look. I mean, ive got to be a little careful here in calling balls and strikes and getting in the middle of candidates comments, but i think its pretty clear that a bill in washington is a bill to defund planned parenthood and then move that money to Community Health clinics and other places. So it wasnt a matter of eliminating money, it was a matter of moving it. He said he misspoke. Obviously i think he did. And he fixed it. I think its a little bit of much to do about nothing. The problem, candidates have to go ahead, im sorry. I was just going to say, candidates have to be careful. So obviously, i mean, yeah. You have to watch out what you say and how you say it, and you have to quickly recover and repair potential mistakes that youve made, and i think theyve done that. Because people worry that it reflects a mindset. Sure. Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, no. Theres no doubt you have to correct things like that. But they did, and i think theyre going to move on, and its important to be careful, no doubt. Chairman priebus, good to see you. An exciting night tomorrow and of course, at the same time this debate is going on in congress. Do you think its worth shutting down the federal government in october to defund planned parenthood . Look, norah, i dont get to make those decisions. You know, im the political guy. Im the guy that figures out how many boots we need on the ground, what data licenses we need to buy, how to execute. You know, as far as what were going to do in the legislature in three months, if something today doesnt happen, i mean, thats a sort of prognosticatingtype game at 7 00 in the morning. It wouldnt be wise for me to start getting involved with. How is donald trump, mr. Chairman, affecting the Republican Party . He has said so many things that have been controversial. Some say explosive. Yet people seem to think that he believes what hes saying. And are there times that you even just shake your head and say oh, my gosh, what did he just say . Well, you know, its raw, and i think its real, and i think that people are upset with government. I think theyre upset with both parties, gayle. And i think Donald Trumps tapping into that. I actually think it could be quite good for our party because i think what youre seeing is a lot of people that were frustrated with politics are saying, well, maybe ive got an outlet here. And if theyre coming and tuning into our debate tomorrow night and getting involved in our party, i think that that ultimately could be very helpful. I mean, only time will tell how all of this goes. You know, Hillary Clintons dealing with the fbi and the emails and problems. Well only know in a year and a half how it all plays out, but certainly, you know, a big cultural vote in this country is a president ial election, and thats why theres so much interest in this process. Its about the american culture. And there is intense interest in this debate. So what will we know after this debate . Well, you know, its hard to say. But we have ten people on the stage, and you dont have a lot of time. Obviously, every candidates going to have to use every tiny second they have to make an impact, get right to the answer. Theres not going to be a lot of wasted time, i dont think. I think what youre going to see is i think every candidates going to have to bring their a game, and it has to be done quickly and concisely, and i think youre going to see that, charlie, tomorrow night. Thank you, mr. Chairman. Youll have a lot of eyeballs tomorrow night. Well be watching. Yes, we will be watching. Thank you so much. Thanks a lot. This morning the fbi is looking into the private email server that Hillary Clinton used as secretary of state. Clintons attorney confirmed the inquiry to cbs news overnight. Margaret brennan is in washington where Officials Say they are concerned that classified information could be mishandled. Margaret, good morning. Reporter good morning. Well, the fbi is looking into the private setup, and they contacted clintons attorney, david kendall, about the security of a portable thumb drive containing copies of those emails. Kendall told cbs news that his team is actively cooperating with the fbi, which is, quote, seeking assurance about the storage of those materials. Now, according to the washington post, the fbi also contacted the denverbased Technology Firm that managed clintons server. All of this comes after watchdogs at the state department and the Intelligence Community referred the issue to the Justice Department in july. After sampling 40 of some 30,000 emails provided by clinton, they determined that four contained classified information. Now they want to see whether there are others. A spokesman for Hillary Clinton stressed that the former secretary of state, quote, did not send nor receive any emails that were marked classified at the time. At this point, gayle, Hillary Clinton has not been accused of any wrongdoing. All right. Thank you, margaret. Thank you.

They have made a lot of progress in the past 24 hours thanks to much better weather. The fire is now 20 contained. But as one firefighter told me, were not out of the woods yet. Fire crews working through the night to contain the rocky fire are lighting spot fires to burn off dry vegetation. But overcast skies and even some scattered rain tuesday bought them time to build more containment lines. How critical is this kind of fire break . This is very critical. So we probably have about three dozer blades right here down to the bare mineral soil. So that helps stop the spread of the fire or something from reigniting over here and jumping this fire line and igniting over there. Reporter the fire, now burning for a week in dry trees and grass, has been unpredictable. I have never seen a fire move like this. At a Vantage Point like this when you look out, you can see the devastation, and its shocking. Reporter this fire has already jumped a major containment line and is still threatening nearly 7,000 structures including bob joness home. The fire was burning 100 feet in the air right there. Reporter despite dangerously close flames, hes refusing to evacuate because he says firefighters are not far away. So howd you sleep last night .

Its killed 7 and infected 86 others. Bacteria has been found in five cooling towers in the south bronx. Dr. Holly phillips is with us. Holly, good morning. Good morning. Weve talked about this before. Is this growing . Do we need to be concerned . This is a huge outbreak. In fact, its the largest outbreak in new york citys history. Cooling towers are a part of the ventilation and airconditioning system on large buildings. Usually commercial buildings, not small residential buildings or homes. What they do is they have water inside, and they cool air that goes through ventilation systems. The bacteria can live and grow in the water, and it gets introduced inside of buildings in small water droplets, and you breathe it in. Okay. So now that that has been determined the source, these aircooling units, you have 8 millionplus or more living in new york city and certainly more working here, does that open up a whole bunch more to this potential disease . Right now this outbreak seems to be contained within five buildings and five cooling towers in the south bronx. But it really does raise a really important question, which was addressed yesterday in a press conference. The city does not. Cooling towers on a regular basis. Its up to the building to maintain them. And there may need to be new regulations around that since clearly these arent maintained as well as they should have been. But is that what makes this more concerning than others, the fact that theres no regulation by the city and we dont know how far it might be . Well, right now they think theyve gotten all of the sources. They looked at dozens actually more than 22 cooling towers in the area, and they think that they have gotten those sources and cleared them. Right now the infection or the outbreak seems to have peaked because the number of new cases is dropping. However, legionella has up to a 14day incubation period. So there might have been people who were exposed who will show symptoms later, so it might not be over. If youve been exposed, what should you do . Absolutely get to your doctor. It can be treated with antibiotics, but those are most effect ufbive if theyre started early, so dont hesitate. Thank you, dr. Holly phillips. We are hearing from the hunter who led an expedition that killed cecil the lion.

This morning the woman called the greatest free diver in history is apparently lost at sea. Natalia set dozens of records for underwater diving without a breathing tank.

Its a sport that by its nature tests limits that finds them sometimes. Thats what appears to have happened to probably the greatest diver the sport has ever known, natalia molchanova. Five, four, three, two, one. Reporter the underwater channel adds dramatic foreboding music to the film of natalias recordbreaking dive in september 2009. It didnt need to. This sort of thing is dramatic enough. Estimated dive time, 3 15. Reporter thats 3 50 of holding your breath. All in a days work for molchanova. Today my depth was 101 meters constant weight. Reporter that dive was under carefully controlled circumstances. On a single breath, she followed a wire down an astounding 331 feet, using a fin. Thats twice the height of the statue of liberty. Natalia, like the other practitioners of the sport of free diving, has found a way of shutting down her body. Here she held her breath for a record, an unbelievable record of 9 02. But natalias last dive was not under controlled circumstances. It was here off the Spanish Party island where the swimmers and the boats come to play. Natalias dive was meant to be a relatively shallow recreational one. James nestor is an author who has written on deep free diving. She has had Numerous Accidents before this fatal accident, but she just kept pushing deeper and deeper. Reporter molchanova would have used the usual technique, slowing down breathing and heart rate, close to subconscious, she called it. But on her last dive, there were things she couldnt control. My understanding was that the conditions were really rough. There were currents. There was a lot of boat traffic. But there are a million things that can go wrong. Reporter searchers have not recovered a body so far. The current theory is that natalia who was wearing a weight is lying on a seabeadd. The family has hired a remotecontrolled sub to continue to look for her. Mark, thank you. Her son who also does this was there with her. They say she was a free diving superstar. Imagine holding your breath for nine minutes. I cant imagine that. Its just one example of as we progress, how many people can go to further depths than weve ever imagined with their body. Yeah, testing their abilities. Slowing their heartbeat. Incredible. Mark, thank you so much. Now to this story. Europe faces a staggering refugee crisis.

He was convicted in april of having consensual sex with a 14yearold girl. But she told him she was 17. Despite that admission, the judge put anderson on the sex offenders registry until april 2040. Cbs news legal expert Rikki Klieman is a former sex crimes prosecutor. Rikki, good morning. Good morning. So explain this to us. What led to this . What led to it is a simple act that happens probably every day with teenagers across the country. 19yearold boy, basically a good kid, goes on an Online Dating app called hot or not, goes and finds a girl that he likes. They exchange informtion. They exchange she exchanges some explicit photographs at his request. They agree to meet. They skype. They meet. They go shopping together for condoms. They have consensual sex. And then what does he find . He finds that he is later arrested. He is charged with major crimes. Ultimately he goes to court. He does a plea bargain. Because shes 14 years old, but she lied about her age. Not only did she lie about her age, she appeared to be 17. She certainly is someone now whos on his side and was on his side. And her mothers on his side, too. Arrive appears in the case to be on his side except for the judge. So what the judge really did here is he took his own personal feelings about this youth culture, and he talked about it. In fact, let me just go ahead and read what the judge said. Please. Either you will or i will. He said, quote, you went online to use a fishermans expression, trolling for women to meet and have sex with. That seems to be part of our culture now, meet, hook up, have sex, sayonara, totally inappropriate behavior. So did the judge sentence him subjective subjectively, or is the law, he had sex with someone whos under age . Both. You know what happens with you know me, the law is the law. I always take that route. However, the law has an exception here. The law is really simple. If you are overage, shes under age, that could be statutory rape. You are going on the registry. But in michigan, there is another law which allows a firsttime offender who is under the age of 21 to, in essence, have juvenile diversion where he would not have a record. The bottomline punishment that hes facing. 90 days in jail. He did 73. Five years probation with 61 restrictions, on the sexual offender registry, which is really the difficulty for 25 years. His life is ruined. Yeah. The problem is he is not alone here. There are many kids who have been put in this position. We find that approximately a quarter of the young people who are on the sexual registry are teenagers. It seems go ahead. You have been a sex crimes prosecutor. You think in this instance, then, there should be leniency. There should be a change. So do you think today in court that will come . Well, he has a new judge. So you have the parents have been very active. They had a petition signed, 156,000 people. Their motion is for him to withdraw his guilty plea before this new judge in order to be resentenced. So will the judge have courage . Will the judge say that this was the wrong way to go and that you cant have someones personal viewpoint as a judge about what the culture should be using this boy to set an example when you have this girl who is supporting him and so is her mother. Right. It sure doesnt seem like the punishment fits the crime here. And he did not know the age of the young girl. No. Because she lied. Because she lied. And looked 17. Right.

In our morning rounds, eyes are not only the windows to your soul, but also your body and your health, did you know that . They hold visible clues to diseases long before symptoms show up. Some 61 Million People in this country are at a risk for vision loss, but only half saw an eye doctor in the last year. Thats not good says christopher starr, an ophthalmologist at the Weill Cornell Medical Center in new york. So people at parties walk up to you and get right in your face and said what do you see . What do you see . Like you just did in the green room. So what can you see in peoples eyes in terms of their health . Well, we really require a lot of equipment to look into eyes and see things in great detail. But the eye is unique in the body in that we can examine blood vessels. We can even examine the brain, the optic nerve is part of the brain, and we can see that in great detail in our eye exams. And its the only place in the body where thats possible. And so when you see, what do you see . So well, ideally, we see perfectly healthy everything, but sometimes we do see problems. The optic nerve, for instance, which is an extension of the brain, if that is swollen on an eye exam, that can be an indicator of a brain tumor, it can be a stroke, and in some cases it can be m. S. Multiple sclerosis is often diagnosed on eye exams first. Blood vessels, veins, arteries. And if those are abnormal, if there are little aneurysms or changes in the caliber of those blood vessels, that can be the indicator of hypertension, chronic hypertension which might not have been diagnosed by your primary care doctor. Also diabetes is very common. And often picked up on eye exams first. Similarly, strokes. We can see little, tiny strokes in those blood vessels. And sometimes that can be the indicator that theres at rowe atherosclerotic disease. So sometimes the eye exam is valuable, like you said, life and death sometimes. So many common diseases can be detected by an optometrist or ophthalmologist. How often does this happen that someone comes in for an eye exam for glasses and turns out comes out knowing that theyre at risk for common disease . It happens a lot. Yeah. Which is why we recommend regular eye exams. And it really depends on your age and risk factors. But in general starting when, would you say . Starting if childhood, certainly, we want to screen kids for diseases. But the formal recommendation as adults, really by the age of 40 and beyond, we recommend regular eye exams. If there are problems, theyre more frequent. And if youre fine, usually adequate. If youre between 20 and 40, you say i see well, my eyes are fine, its still recommended to be seen because some asymptomatic problems like glaucoma or even tumors inside the eye can be detected on routine visits. It seems this ought to be part of any medical exam, then. Well, yes, but ophthalmologists and optometrists are really the only ones who can really get in there, and we have all the equipment. You need a lot of equipment. But i think what charlies saying is part of our preventative regimen. You should also see it should be part of your regular general health. My mother used to tell me better. Yes or no . Beta carotene are better for the eyes, as are many other healthy things. Yes, it is. It is. Green, leafy vegetables, broccoli, omega 3 fatty acids, flaxseed, and protecting your eyes from the sun. Uv blocking is critically important. Were great about sunblock but not so good about our sunglasses. Thanks for having me. And a tech giant makes a big move for working parents.

The latest big netflix premiere isnt on your tv, tablet or phone, but behind the scenes, the streaming video giant announced tuesday its giving employees unlimited maternity and paternity leave in the first year after a birth or adoption. A netflix blog says, quote, parents can return parttime, fulltime, or then return and go out as needed, well just keep paying them normally, eliminating the headache of switching to state or disability pay. A cbs news contributor, jody, good morning. Good morning. This is groundbreaking. And exciting. There is an arms race in the tech world to offer parental benefits, and this sets a new standard. So this was a move by them to recruit employees, even more female employees, and male employees. Absolutely. Theres a real benefit here, and there is a psychological benefit. When a company says anything you need to do in that first year, take two weeks, take two months, take a year, employees love it. And it also speaks to this generation of dads who want to spend much more time with their kids. Is it only happening in the tech could not . Community . I would say that, you know, income inequality and the difference between the haves and havenotes is one of the defining truths of our time. We certainly see it here. Employees can get a year of paid leave. That is extraordinary. The person making their coffee at the corner store might not even be able to take a sick day. Thats not a comparison, somebody working in a coffee store and somebody in tech. There are a lot of Forwardthinking Companies in america. My question is a, are they being responsive the same way to changing conditions and the recruitment of the most talented people who demand this . We do see an upsurge in paternity leave, but what i see is almost two conflicting things happening at the same time. On paper, these benefits are getting a lot better. In reality, the culture is pushing harder than ever against parental leave. Business moves really fast. Technology changes really fast. Companies get reorganized. The women i talk to in the workplace say that realistically, its very hard to disappear for six months now. And keep your job. Whats so great about this is you can come in and out of that year if you need to. So what does a Typical Company have in terms of Maternity Leave . I would say in the elite whitecollar world that were talking about, 8 to 12 weeks paid is considered decent leave. Its complicated because disability comes into it. Netflix is saying were not going to do a little better. Were not going to do what facebook and google have done, which is, you know, 15, 18 weeks. They are overshooting that by a wide margin. The issue is that when you have a baby, most insurance plans will you will go on disability and the insurance pays to are it for eight weeks. So the company doesnt care. Its no money lost out of their pocket. The issue is then beyond eight or ten weeks correct me if im wrong is then the company foots the bill thank you foots the bill while youre gone. How do google, facebook and others and that elite stature compare to netflix in . They have very generous policies. People who work there are the envy of the rest of american parenthood. However, what netflix has done, theyre making a real statement here. What i would like to know is i would like to have this discussion a year from now after some reporting and see how this really works out in real life. Does anybody really feel like they can take a year . Thats a good question. Because they worry about whether theyll lose stature. Stature, or lose knowledge, or lose whatever is happening for a year. Right now i think its fantastic. People are celebrating. Thank you, joed zidyjody. When we come back, meryl streep. Good morning. Its 8 25 on this wednesday morning. Im mary calvi.

Hop in meryl streep is in ricki and the flash, and were so pleased to have you here in studio 57. Thank you. When you look at that, does one of those mean more to you than the others . When i just saw that one with all the hair going like this, i remembered something a critic said, best performance by a head of hair. But to, i dont i dont pick and choose among my children or the movies. How do you choose . How do you choose new things to do . Yeah. Well, this was a kind of a nobrainer, ricki and the flash, because the writing. I think im attracted by pungent writing, writing that isnt afraid of contradictions and mess. And this is about the mess of life. But the heart of it is a mother and daughter story played by montgomery, who happens to be your reallife daughter. It opens with a very powerful scene where she is pissed at you. And i wonder what its like for you watching her have such rage. I know its acting, i get that. But was there something jarring about that . Ive seen her have ive seen it from the age of 3. Its a very weird thing. And ive thought about this, since we made the film, when i looked at her on set, i really saw julie. I really did. But that was part of partly because i didnt feel like meryl streep from new jersey, you know. I felt like ricki. I felt like ricki. I was so deep in, and i believed her. She gave me no you know, its only actors who are weak or insecure or worried that show you their, you know, their anxiety about working with you. My daughter has no fear of meryl streep, like none. You changed her diapers so she knows you as mom. It is true that Jonathan Demme said he didnt want the two of you communicating . He told me he didnt want me to talk to mamie. I assume that was because he didnt want two directors on the film. You know, he wanted to do it himself. Oh. To direct her. Weve seen you sing in past movies, but weve never seen you play the guitar. How long did it take you to learn . Well, i had never held an electric guitar, and so i guess i worked about six weeks with the electric guitar. And Jonathan Demme, our director, had told me he was lying all over the place. He told me it was three songs that i would have to learn. Its ten songs. Yeah. Theres a lot singing. I didnt know when you play the electric guitar, your fingers bleed. Rick, look oh, yeah, yeah. Thats what you get. Talk about rickis look. Because when you first looked at yourself in the mirror, shes got this goofy hairdo with the braids, thick, thick black eye makeup. When you first looked in the mirror, meryl, what did you think . I thought it looked hilarious. I just wanted it to be stuck in the 80s. You know, i really wanted her you know how people pick their thing, and then they dont switch it up as times change. Mission accomplished. I felt that. I felt that. I felt that. Shes stuck, yeah. Why do you work so hard . Hello, mr. Pot, calling kettle black. You could ask him the same question, meryl streep. Fun, isnt it . Its fun. Exactly. Yeah. And theyre asking me. And each one feels like its own challenge, but its also my i think probably deeply its my therapy on some level. I mean, i dont have another outlet like that where i can go insane and think murderous thoughts and not be incarcerated for it. Are there people you want to kill . My lips are sealed. But really, Rick Springfield said this about you. What was the hardest thing about work working . Im sitting there going, oh, my god, im working with meryl streep. So when you walk on a set, people think of you as meryl streep, greatest actor for a generation, many people say. Do you but i want to know how you handle that. Do you think ive got to make people feel comfortable . Or just be you . Or ive got to live up to it . Im aware of it. It is a thing you feel in the room. Its, like i cant even think of what the metaphor is. I so put it away from me because its so not valuable in what i do. What i do requires keeping my pores open to the world. I cant handle the label that has been put on me, which is everybody in my business knows not true. But there are so many people no, everybody in the business knows its true. They do. There are people who are incredibly talented and that do things that i cant do. And thats true. Every year i see performances and i think, ooh, i couldnt do that. Okay, so lets take acting off the table of things that you cant do. Give me something that you cant do. Can you Parallel Park . Oh, yeah. So what is it something meryls im going to be really mad when they have the selfdrive cars because i take enormous pride in one move, one move. You know what i mean . Not this and then this and in, in, in, in. Is there anything you really want to do that you havent done . Is there a role that you think, my god, if i could do fashion a role, this is what it would be for me or a classic .
