of those cases are linked to travel outside the u.s. dr. jon lapook is looking at how the money could be spent. >> that's perfect for breeding mosquito larva. >> reporter: tropical disease expert dr. peter hotez has been warning for months that poor neighborhoods on the gulf coast, like this one in houston, are similar to poor neighborhoods in brazil, the epicenter of the zika pandemic. broken screens, lack of air conditioning and standing water make for perfect breeding grounds for the hive -- for aedes aegypti mosquitoes that carry zika. >> if you look at where zika is affecting people, it's in areas of extreme poverty. >> reporter: hotez is warning the u.s. is not prepared to fight the zika virus, despite today's commitment of over $500 million. congress still hasn't approved a $1.9 billion request, and with warm weather fast approaching, dr. anthony fauci of the n.i.a. says he's not waiting any longer. >> i'm taking money from other areas that we fund in order to fund the very important zika research, particularly the zika vaccine research. >> reporter: "the ultimate hiker's gear guide: tooks and tips to hit the the aedes aegypi is typically found in the south but it could reach as far north as new york and ohio. the biggest concern is for pregnant women. in brazil zika virus has been linked with microcephaly, babies born with an abnormally small head and brain. the administration says the new funding will go toward vaccine development as well as mosquito surveillance and control. >> there's no such thing as a small outbreak of zika. if you start seeing babies with microcephaly on the gulf coast of the united states, it is going to be a public health crisis. it would be the public health equivalent of katrina. report if, as expected, the zika virus makes its way into the mosquito population here, the administration says it is going to need the full $1.9 billion it requested from congress in february in order to fight the virus. >> pelley: jon, thank you very much. important story. well, last night both presidential front-runners got whipped, so they ran all the way home to new york. that's the next primary in two weeks. republican donald trump has a huge lead there and here's major garrett. >> tonight is a turning point. it is a rallying cry. >> reporter: fresh off victory in wisconsin, ted cruz arrived in the bronx with a talking point in search of reality. >> it was a turning point i believe in this entire election. >> reporter: cruz's win blunted donald trump's momentum, but now the campaign shifts to the northeast, trump territory, and cruz quickly faced hostile questions about his take on so-called new york values. >> the people of new york know exactly what those values are, they're the values of liberal democratic politicians like andrew cuomo, like anthony weiner, like eliot spitzer, like charlie rangel, all of whom donald trump has supported. >> new york is a great place. it's got great people. it's got loving people, wonderful people. >> reporter: trump, a native new yorker, has deflected that attack in the past. a new poll out today gives him 52% lead in the empire state. john kasich is second at 25%. cruz a distant third at 17%. trump sat out election night in wisconsin but tweeted today, "it's so great to be back home." >> i think i've had many bad weeks and many good weeks. i don't see this as the worst week in my campaign. >> reporter: but after a week where trump garnered criticism for comments about abortion and his campaign manager was charged with battery, trump is facing dissension within his campaign. he huddled today with newly hired strategist and veteran g.o.p. operative paul manafort, who was angling for more influence over trump's operation. sources tell us the meeting lasted hours amid a clamor for a more organized and cohesive national campaign stir. scott, trump will now have to decide how the split the roles of manafort and his very loyal effective but occasionally volatile manager corey lewandowski. >> pelley: major garrett, thank you. hillary clinton has a commanding lead over bernie sanders, but after her loss in wisconsin, the former empire state senator is striking back. here's nancy cordes. >> well, in a number of important areas he doesn't have a plan at all. >> reporter: after taking a back seat in six straight states, the front-runner went into overdrive today, hitting sanders on the economy and on guns. >> senator sanders wants higher standards for toi guns than real guns. >> reporter: sanders told the new york daily news this week he did not think victims of gun violence should be able to sue gun manufacturers. that did not go over well with the left-leaning paper or with some family members of the sandy hook school massacre in neighboring connecticut. one tweeted, "shame on you, bernie sanders. try living one hour of our lives." >> we have got to do... >> what do you say to sandy hook families who say you should apologize for your position? >> i would say that i think we all are aware of what happened, and sandy hook is a tragedy beyond comprehension. but maybe secretary clinton might want to apologize to the families who lost their loved ones in iraq or secretary clinton might want to apologize to the millions of workers in this country who lost their jobs because of the disastrous trade agreements that she supported. >> reporter: the clinton campaign says that new york is a must-win state for you. do you think you can really beat her on her home turf? >> that's an interesting point. in my home state where the people know me pretty well, i got 86% of the vote. last poll i saw here, and we are closing the gap, she was ten points ahead. i think we have an excellent chance to win. >> reporter: the clinton camp insists the sanders' winning streak is over now that the race is moving on to larger, more diverse states, but, scott, nobody told this crowd in philadelphia. the line the hear sanders speak tonight stretches more than half a mile. >> pelley: nancy cordes for us tonight. nancy, thank you. american pharmaceutical giant pfizer is dropping its plan to reincorporate in ireland in order

corporate inversion. this week the obama administration imposed new rules that make inversions less attractive. moving american jobs overseas is a big campaign debate. donald trump is blowing the horn on ford for its plans in mexico. we wondered if he has a point. we asked dean reynolds to find out. >> reporter: ford says its decision will create 2,800 new jobs by 2020, new jobs in mexico. a move that was immediately denounced by donald trump as an absolute disgrace and by the united autoworkers as very troubling. starting this summer, production of smaller fords will move from here at the wayne, michigan plant, to san luis potosi in mexico. at the 40-lane wayne bowl, manager victoria stone says it's a raw deal. >> they're taking business away from us. they're taking business away from the city, from the state of michigan, and i was born and bred on ford motor company. >> reporter: veteran auto work centers this company make about $60 when all the benefits are factored in versus about $8 an hour in mexico, an obvious incentive for ford. during contract talks last year, the u.a.w. did not fight ford's plans to build smaller vehicles in mexico, demanding and winning higher wages at plants in this country instead. and when the small car production moves south of the border, the plant here will not be shuttered. analysts expect ford will start production here on a new truck and s.u.v., high-priced items in hot demand with gasoline prices low. should americans be outraged by this decision by detroit? >> not at all. >> reporter: auto industry analyst mike jackson says criticism from trump and others about this ford deal is misinformed. >> certainly there is some posturing. it's part of business. the idea is that, you know, ford is trying to ensure its competitive position going forward. right? that's it. >> reporter: setting up shop in foreign countries is an automotive industry trend that's been going on for a long time and will continue when it's for the good of the company. just today, scott, fiat chrysler announced an investment of a half billion dollars in argentina to build a new vehicle there for the latin american markets. >> pelley: and a lot of foreign car companies build cars here in america, as well. dean, thanks very much. howling winds across the plains have pushed forwildfires to merge in northwest, oklahoma. more than 55,000

the fuels combine with the moisture are causing very erratic fire behavior. yesterday four separate fires sparked by arcing power lines downed by high winds merged into one blaze that raged across more than 55,000 acres. >> this was absolutely the fastest-moving fire i've ever seen. >> reporter: val and amy cast your of cbs affiliate k wtv were covering the fire when they spotted jason perks desperately trying to get his road grader out of a ditch. >> he needs to get out. >> i know he needs to get out. >> he can't get out. >> reporter: perk, a woods county transportation worker, was creating a fire line when flames swept in. he bailed from his vehicle just when the crew ran over. >> he ran out of the tracker. >> get in. hurry up, hurry up! -i unlocked the door real quick. he
