The debris destroyed 100 homes and damaged a hundred more. Theyre using search dogs to find people. Its extremely difficult to search for victims. The mud and debris in some places is piledei high. And there are trees and boulders and even appliances washed away. Check out this video. It shows a car racing down a windy road trying desperately to outrun mud and debris. About 70 miles from there video shows damage to cars. A car dumped on the beach of montecito just destroyed. It also damaged infrastructure. The water system is in serious disrepair right now and theres no word, john, on when it will be back up and running. Carter, thanks. The second rank lawmakers from both parties in the house and senate met yesterday. The issues include border security, chain migration, the visa lottery program, and daca. The obamaera program protecting young people brought to the u. S. Illegally as children. The Trump Administration program. On tuesday the president indicated he may sign a clean daca bill. The president was asked yesterday about supporting a daca deal without a commitment to pay for a wall along the mexican border. Its got to include the well. We need the well for security. We need the well for safety. We need the well for stopping the drugs from pouring in. I would imagine that the people in the room, both democrat and republican, i really believe theyre going to come up with a solution to the daca problem, which has been going on for a long time and may be beyond that immigration as a whole. The president and the Justice Department say they will fight a court order blocking the daca program in march. Nearly 700,000 immigrants are protected by daca and many are training for highlevel professional careers. Adriana diaz is at Loyola Universitys school outside of chicago where a group of future doctors is watching the daca debate very nervously. Adriana, good morning. This medical school was the first to officially accept documented students back in 2014. There are currently 32 being trained here. Because of daca, they can study and work here, but they dont get citizenship. We sat down with three students who told us what its like to be at the top of their academic game with no clear future insight. Every time i hear footsteps outside of my door, theres a part of me that for a second i think should i open the door . Reporter after 20 years living in the United States he worries they could detain him at any point. Born in mexico but raised in new mexico hes the first undocumented immigrant to pursue his phd and md and Loyola University medical school but he may never beable to practice legally. My biggest fear is maybe daca will remain, but there will be no way to go bon studied chemistry in college in savannah before becoming one of the d. R. E. A. M. Ers enrolled here. The news on twitter reminds you, but at some level you are not welcomed here. I see the u. S. As my home, my community, my people, my peers. Reporter her mother brought her to the u. S. Illegally from guatemala when she was 7, traveling for two weeks by foot and car. Feel like i havent done anything wrong. Eve gone to school, got good grades, did community service, and yet that gives me no right in a sense. We have always drawn strength from being a nation of immigrants. Reporter president obama enacted it to protect the children. Critics called it an unlawful program that lacked approval and takes away jobs. What do you say to folks who say this is a country who has to its laws, am people have to have those laws. If you have someone enter illegally but it was 20 or 30 years ago and if theyre a productive member of your community, theyre paying taxes, what is the logic of deporting them outside of just following an arbitrary rule. The president has said he wants to find a solution for daca. Do you believe him . Theres been a lot of backandforth. This is going to happen, thats going to happen, and Something Else happens. Reporter although the prospect of deportation is real, alejandra says she will not go back to mexico. Ill go to europe or canada, or anybody who wants doctors. We want to stay here because our families are here and communities are here, but at the end of the day, were american trained almost physicians. Any other physicians would jump up to take any of us. If lawmakers find no solution for these students to complete their training, repay their loans, or practice medicine. John . Adriana, thanks. The Trump Administration is gives states medicaid. It could affect millions of low income americans and force some off medicaid. About 7 Million People are on the program. Ten states have applied for waivers. The rules would affect working age ablebodied adults. They could fulfill the requirement through skills, education, job search, volunteering, or care giving. A washington ban is expected to take place on tuesday. The new rules ban all portable Electronic Devices not issued or authorized by the white house. Personal devices cannot be carried into or otherwise possessed in the west wing from 6 00 a. M. To through friday. Violators could be subject to disciplinary action. There is high concern among senior white house staff about leaker knowns amid Michael Wolffs book fire and fury. But they say the ban is not in response to the book. I guess this means you can only bring in your government issued blackberry or iphone in that case. Yeah. Its in response to leaker knowns. You think so . The point is theyll know everyone you text with. And they have more control over what goes in and out of that government issued phone than they would your personal phone.

Youtube is punishing one of its biggest stars logan paul days after he posted a video of the body of man who had committed suicide in japan. Did we just find a dead man in the suicide forest hanging . Do you think thats real . Youtube said yesterday hes being removed from googles preferred platform and theyre cutting ties and personal projects. The suicide video was up for 24 hours. It was seen 6 million times before logan paul removed it himself and he has more than 50 million youtube subscribers and he is youtubes fifth highest paid star earning more than 12 million a year. Youtube has not made any policy changes about controversial or graphic video even after pauls post from japan. Is is lapowsky is with us at the table. Is it enough . Well, this has been youtubes policy, right . They have a three strikes and youre out policy. They dont want to sensor you immediately right after the bat if you make one mistake but they want him to suffer a penalty. They want to hit himmy it hurts. This is a program where they bundle their top Program Creators and put them in front of their premium advertisers and they guarantee revenue. Hes going to take a hit to his still up and hell continue to make ad revenue. Its up to his followers if they want to tune in. Why is he still up if they took these actions . Again, its three strikes. Censorship is something they take extremely seriously. They say if we pose you three time, youre out. He made one mistake, hes 22, and theyre givinging him the benefit of the doubt, leavings he channel up, but imposing repercussions. Theyre removing him from some of his original shows that would have made him a lot of money as well. There should be apologies. Youtube didnt take down the offensive video. Logan paul took the video down. The thing is it clearly violated youtubes existing policy. Its not that they need a policy change. They need a moderation change. That have committed to hiring more than 10,000 in 2018. Enough . They have 400 hours of video going up every single minute. Theyre using technology, algorithms, and human moderators. But they run the risk of missing videos and overreaching on the other end of the spectrum. Heres the conundrum. Provocative content is what draws people to youtube and this youtube profits off that provocative content. So they dont want to shut down what is a revenue stream, right . Exactly. Thats the model of the internet. Facebook faces this problem, so does twitter. The more viral, the better it is for youtube. Whenever youtube ends up coming out to explain why this video stayed up so long, thats going to have to be part of the decision. Was it that it was so beneficial united made excuses for it despite the fact that it violated policies. Logan paul did not respond to our request. He has taken it down and is taking time off for time to reflect. Around this time last yeerg he faced similar reper cautions because a lot of his content turned out it contained content. He was removed from the ad program and content. Hes still up and running and doing really well. Izzy lapowsky, thank you so much. Ahead, well explain the roles men can play in the national debate.

According to authorities, a man collected a bunch of frozen iguana thinking they were dead, put them in his car, only to have them thaw out and start running around, causing him to crash his vehicle. And this is precisely why i dont load up my car with frozen iguana. I wont do it. Thankfully it was real easy to because one of the litz ards in the car was the geico gecko. Good advice. If you see a frozen iguana, dont put it in your car. I dont know about this story. Who among us has not rounded up frozen iguana now and again. Exactly. Welcome back to cbs this morning. Right now its time to show you this mornings headlines. The New York Times reports the irs wasted millions on private debt collectors. I brought in only 7. 6 million in tax debt. In the last year they brought in only 1 . In some cases they were paid 25 commissions on collections the irs made without their help. Former congressman Anthony Weiner and former clinton aid huma abedin have opted to settle out of court avoid embarrassment. Last week a tweet from the president called for abedin to be jailed following the state departments release of classified emails on Anthony Weiners laptop. He could be forced to testify against her if she ever faces criminal charges. The Washington Post reports five mexican states are now under the highest u. S. Do not travel warning. Its the top level of potential danger. The region are hot spots of drug cartel activity. The warning puts them on the same level as wartorn countries like yemen, syria, and somalia. Eric clapton says he is losing his hearing and has tinnit tinnitus. He admitted in an interview he has suffered from that condition. Its a ringing in the ear that loss. The 72yearold is also battling never damage which impacts movement in his hands. Still he says he plans to keep playing gigs. Our affiliate in southwest florida winktv reports on a bare attack in his yard. I came outside and he was right there. I tried to run ant wasnt fast enough. Im really just happy to be alive. It could have been a totally different story. The naples man suffered injuries to his face tuesday night. He need 41 stitches. The attack happened across the street from a high school. Animal control officers are setting traps to capture the bear. Vanity fair reports prince harry has still not asked his brother Prince William a very important question. Prince william has not yet been picked for the job on a radio show yesterday. Prince harry will marry american actress Meghan Markle in may. You know hes going ask Prince William. Who else will it be . Its not going to be barack obama, you know that. It as going to be Prince William. Theres probably a royal decree that says you have to do it. Take it out of his hand. Tradition and our cbs affiliate khou posted a hilarious achlkt he slipped and he slid the whole way down desperately trying to stop. Oh, down he goes. He fell just before reaching the street. Now, his wife caught the whole thing on camera and then she posted the homemade video with the warning black ice is real. Clearly he and his wife have a great relationship or a great sense of r. We can only laugh about it because it was okay. This happened to us the other night when we were walking the dog and my wife said watch the ice and she went up. There was Security Camera video. We stay out of the line of security video. The me too movement is highlights what role men have in the discussion. Our alex wagner recently spoke with a group of five accomplished men about the responsibility they feel to address Sexual Harassment and gender quality. One of them was producer judd apatow. Is it awkward when you confront another man about Sexual Harassment, judd . I dont think so. I mean when you run a television set, you have a lot of employees and youre really trying to create an environment where everybody feels go to the people who run the set, and it will be taken care of. It really is one of those situations where i think the head people set a tone. For decades author and educator jackson katz has called on the men to speak out. He delivered a t. E. D. Talk. That talk has received more than 3. 5 million views. Theres so many men who care deeply about these issues, but caring deeply is not enough. We need more men with the guts w the courage, with the strength, with the moral integrity to break our complicit silence and challenge each other and stand with women and not against them. Jackson katz, the founder and president of mvp strategies. Hes provided Sexual Harassment and violence training for several sports teams and the military training. Good morning. Good morning. Its a mens issue. What does that me . Have seen Sexual Assault and violence as womens issues. My work is to help people think differently about these issues. Theyre not just womens issues. Theyre mens issues. Theyre creating a majority of the abuse and violence. Until they stand with women as partners, theyre only cleaning up. If im a man, which it turns out i am, and im not doing anything, i might think, so whats my role. How am i supposed to think differently . All men at all levels of society and whatever their spirit of influence have to make it clear to the people around them that abusing women in any way, verbally, emotionally, visually, sexually is unacceptable not just because its illegal and theyre going to get in trouble but because its a peer issue. You want to s young men and boys who have to hear it from men as well as women. Treating women with respect is not an option. Mandatory. Its how you treat people with respect and dignity. If you dont do it, youre going to be in trouble with your friends, your teammates, peers, classmates, colleagues. If we can change the social norms, youre going to see a significant diminution. Its not about individual sick men doing this. A lot of these men committing acts of abuse or harassment are otherwise normal men. Theyre mostly normal men. Thats right. Perpetrators are normal men. Thats right. What do you mean by that . The perception is you think its some Freddy Krueger twisted character is committing these acts of abuse. Theyre normal guys. Most guys who commit rape on College Campuses are normal guys, they go to class or they dont go to class, theyre in fraternities or theyre theyre in sports or theyre not. What does it mean to be normal . In other words, its not just crazy individuals but actually much broader than that, then it implicates the various institutions that shape what are men and boys. You curated the bystander training. What does this mean . The bystander approach is a way to move on the binary. Instead of focusing on women, it focuses on everybody in a given culture, which is called a bystander, which is a teammate, classmate. Like an honor code. Yeah, sure. Its giving people tools to challenge it. Not just at the point of attack. Give us an example. Youre a guy and youre hanging out and there are no women in the room and one or two of the guys start making sexist comments about girls and women. Instea that, its interrupting that like, hey, thats not funny. Its like racism. If youre hanging out with a group of white people, if you dont challenge them on that, in a sense your silence is a form of consent and complicity. Like the president called locker room talk. Yeah. You made an interesting observation about the Golden Globes the other night that i hadnt thought about until you pointed it out. The Golden Globes was an incredible moment. It wasnt just awards, but it was an incredible cultural moment where so many women were coming forward talking publicly with a bright spotlight about not only the experiences they had but highlighting experiences women had but all the men who came up to get awards and present, they didnt say anything. On the red carpet, yes, some of them said we support women, im very proud of her. What we didnt hear from men either on the arrival or from the stage at all w because of the bright spotlight to say as a man i support women and im going to do whatever i can to challenge other men to stand up and speak up and support women and make this a movement that is transcended. Why do you think they didnt say anything. I think a lot of men dont know what to say, have never heard other men say this, so they havent heard it modeled, a lot of men are afraid of stepping in imt they dont know what to say and theyre afraid of saying the right thing and theres pushback. Its not that theyre person tratzers. Just dont know what to say. Think i what were doing here is showing men, you can talk about this. And please talk about it. Yes, please talk about it. Thank you for being here. Thank you. Thank you very much. Volunteers are helping to restore faith in a Community Devastated by Hurricane Harvey.

Omar villafranca is in the Texas Community of vidor where help arrived at a time when people needed it most. Omar, good morning. Reporter good morning. Were in vidor, texas, about 100 miles northeast of houston, and this town was devastated by Hurricane Harvey. More than 3,000 homes like this one here are going to need some sort of repair. And here we are four months after the storm and people are still living in shells of their homes or temporary housing or even sleeping in tents because they dont have the supplies or the skills to rebuild.

He had lost hope and was real distressed because we tried so hard to get help and it was probably an hour before that i told him we have to wait on god, and these people drove up in our yard. On cue. On cue. When the son of man comes the answer to their prayer, a local pastor who practice as what he preaches. The water was right below that waterline.

Reporter for skipper and tony, their mission is not just to help the harriss but to be there for the peopl for the long hall. This is what we run into everywhere we go. For the first two months theres a whole bunch of people. After that it gets less and less and less and less. Were just committed. Reporter as for the harriss, they may have lost their home, but volunteers restored their faith. John, what could you offer them for everything theyre doing . Nothing. Theres nothing but thank you, i love you. Thats about it.
