Money rolled in. And a nation of fishermen began believing in the socalled icelandic miracle. A lot of people seemed to be getting very rich, very fast.

An attractive combination to swim coaches from topnotch colleges. She was a very strong breaststroker. And those times were fast. Reporter harvards womens coach traveled to d. C. To recruit skylar. Reporter First Impressions<\/a> . Engaging. Energetic. Somebody i really thought would do well at harvard. Reporter harvard was skylar first choice. But this fairy tale had a little wrinkle.

Reporter my parents dressed me in pink dresses, bow ties, i had a doll. I dont think i was typical. I would look to rip them off didnt want to wear the dresses. Im not wearing a dress. Reporter gregor and terry baylar are skylas parents. Did people think skylar was a boy . They thought skylar preferred short hair. Transgendered never occurred to them. Though there were clues. In middle school, skylars class had to make self portraits in the present and the future. She came home with this. It made no sense at the time. Why the future meant becoming an old man with a mustache. And the confusion only worsened when puberty hit. And things like breasts began to appear. I was like thats not something i dont want. I dont know why. I know i dont want that. Reporter though it felt wrong, skylar saw no choice but to try to make it work as a girl with long hair and dresses. But, it backfired.

Reporter how did you handle it . I hugged him. And he cried. And cried. It made me realize i wanted that so badly but i knew how hard it was going to be. And, it was look what about swimming .

I know i reporter skylars Mental Health<\/a> improved quickly. There was still the matter of telling coach marosky her new womens swimmer would be coming to college as a man.

Did you think some one who identified as main could swim on the womens team. I thought logistically we might have some issues that we would have to work out. Reporter like ncaa rules. Turns out ncaa has a policy that allows for athletes who identify as male, but were born female to compete on a womens team as long as they dont take male hormones. So, stephanie marosky said yes. Skylar started making plans to live something of a double life. To be a man on harvards campus the next fall, but a woman on harvards swim team. Meanwhile, skylar came out as transgender on facebook. And posted on instagram that he had socalled top surgery. A double mastectomy to remove the breasts he hadnt wanted. The whole situation started to worry coach marosky. I think stephanie was the first to realize that skylars plan of being a woman in the water but a man outside was going to be totally detrimental to her psyche. When you enroll in college it is an opportunity to start over again. Reporter reinvent yourself. You can reinvent yourself. And i was struggling watching skylar, because he wanted to reinvent himself as skylar as a male, but was being held back by the athletic piece of it.

Reporter the cdc said confirmation the zika virus causes microcephaly, is undeveloped brain at birth, is unprecedented. It is the first time in history a virus transmitted by mosquito bite has been found to cause birth defects. Dr. Sonja rasmussen with the cdc. What we are learning is they have a severe form of microcephaly often associated with problems in the brain seen on imaging on ct scans or mris. That make us really concerned. Reporter the cdc made determination on mounting evidence from many studies. Images released to day by researchers in brazil where the virus is widespread shows severe brain damage in babies with microcephaly. The white areas are signs of calcium. Felt to represent destruction, inflammation and scarring in tissues of the nervous system. The researchers said the damage was extremely severe, indicating poor prognosis for neurological function. Obstetrician dr. Jennifer wu with lenox hill hospital. This is not something that will go away and something they have to live with for the rest of their lives. Reporter researchers are just at the beginning of learning of the dangers of zika infection. Typically we find out about the tip of the iceberg first. Then we learn more.

Reporter coming so low and fast at first you cant make them out. Below the deck. Below the bridge wing. Reporter the russian planes carried no weapons under their wings, but they were flying what the commander of the uss donald cook, a sim late e simulated a profile. Not once or twice, 31 times over two days. It started monday. The cook was preparing to conduct helicopter Flight Operations<\/a> in the baltic sea in International Waters<\/a> 70 miles off the coast of the russian enclave. A pairru flew 20 close passes on the ship coming as close as 1,000 yards at altitude of 100 feet. Ignoring radio calls from the cook and forcing the ship to cancel Flight Operations<\/a>. On tuesday, a russian helicopter circled the cook seven times taking photographs. Another pair of attack jets showed up and buzzed the cook 11 times this time coming within an estimated 30 feet of the ship and again ignoring attempts to contact them. The latest in a series of incidents over the past two years in which russian aircraft have challenged nato ships and planes. And the Obama Administration<\/a> is planning to lodge a diplomatic prott. White house spokesman, josh earnest. We have seen a pattern on the part of the russians in undertaking these kinds of actions that they at least i think intend to be provocative. Reporter u. S. Will file its protest. Russia will have made its point. It resents American Forces<\/a> operating close to russian territory and intends to push back. Scott. David, thank you. The russian fighters may have come out of the blue, but the tension has been rising for years. Along the old borders of the soviet union. In 2014, russia took crimea from the ukraine which the u. S.

In syria, rush bombed rebels at u. S. Supports. And recently the u. S. Staged military maneuvers in latvia. The russian Bombing Campaign<\/a> in syria has turned the tide for the Syrian Regime<\/a> of Bashar Al Assad<\/a> who embroiled his country in a fiveyear civil war. Well today, assad held elections ignoring u. S. Demand that he step down. Elizabeth palmer is in damascus. Reporter moran candidates vied for seats in syrias parliament. But none represented genuine opposition. So every vote was really an endorsement of president Bashar Al Assad<\/a> who along with his wife made a personal appearance today to cast his ballot. This election with its thousand of candidates. Bam lot boxes and polling stations is a surreal exercise considering that syria is very much at war and the ceasefire that had held for just over a month is now collapsing. So to say this election is flawed is an understatement. There was no voting for the millions of syrian whose fled the country. Or those who live in areas controlled by opposition groups. And none in the many active battle zones, some close to the center of the capital. And the fiercest fighting right now is a round aleppo where opposition activists say on the weekend. Barrel bombs on a northern suburb injuring children who live there. The Syrian Government<\/a> is determined to reconquer this whole area and consolidate the toll militarily. While it uses the election to strengthen its political hand going into a new round of peace talks in geneva. Most of the people who turned out to vote today, scott, do support president assad. Either because they have done all along or because they believe that after five years of war, he is better than any of the alternatives. Elizabeth palmer in damascus. Thank you, liz.

There is certainly a threat of information that is similar and the same. They all have the same intent. That is to protect religious freedom. Libertys handy work actually protects those who for religious reasons decline to employ for serve gays, lesbians or transgender people. Their bills began cropping of in state legislatures soon after the Supreme Court<\/a> legalized samesex marriage last year. An objective observer could conclude that you want to push back against that ruling. Well i certainly want to push back against the ruling. It was a wrong ruling. Has no basis in the constitution.

The banks borrowed massive sums of money then loaned it out again at much higher rates of interest to entrepreneurs who like the ancient vikings plundered, buying up companies worldwide. Money rolled in. And a nation of fishermen began believing in the socalled icelandic miracle. A lot of people seemed to be getting very rich, very fast.

From the outside, skylar appeared to be a young woman who had it all. Outstanding grades in school. Plus allamerican times in the pool. Swim coaches from topnotch colleges. She was a very strong breaststroker. And those times were fast. Reporter harvards womens coach traveled to d. C. To recruit skylar. Reporter First Impressions<\/a> . Engaging. Energetic. Somebody i really thought would do well at harvard. Reporter harvard was skylar first choice. But this fairy tale had a little wrinkle. One that may have started before skylar even learned to swim. When you were a little girl were you a typical little girl . Definitely not. Reporter 3, 4, 5. Reporter my parents dressed me in pink dresses, bow ties, i had a doll. I dont think i was typical. I would look to rip them off didnt want to wear the dresses. Im not wearing a dress. Reporter gregor and terry baylar are skylas parents. Did people think skylar was a boy . They thought skylar preferred short hair. That their daughter may be transgendered never occurred to them. Though there were clues. In middle school, skylars class had to make self portraits in the present and the future. She came home with this. It made no sense at the time. Why the future meant becoming an old man with a mustache. And the confusion only worsened when puberty hit. And things like breasts began to appear. I was like thats not something i dont want. I dont know why. I know i dont want that. Reporter though it felt wrong, skylar saw no choice but to try to make it work as a girl with long hair and dresses. But, it backfired. She developed major eating disorders. Bulimia, anorexia. Both. Reporter both. It was serious. We fear ford his life. Reporter they postponed skyl g got her help at an eating disorders program. When she want to hear some transgender men speak at a local church, wham, everything started to make sense. Awe thought was like, holy crap this is me.

Yeah, i walked out to him. Sobbing. And he just hugged me. He came out you know in tears. And eventually. He said what is wrong, skylar. I said dad, i think i am transgender. Reporter how did you handle it . I hugged him. And he cried. And cried. It made me realize i wanted that so badly but i knew how hard it was going to be. And, it was look what about swimming . What about my body . What about surgery . What about the money . What about people . My grandparents . My brother. Everything at once . But i want this. I know i want this. Reporter skylars Mental Health<\/a> improved quickly. There was still the matter of telling coach marosky her new womens swimmer would be coming to college as a man. Reporter so what was your reaction . I was surprised. But the real big question skylar had was can i still swim on your team . What did you think . Did you think some one who identified as main could swim on the womens team. I thought logistically we might have some issues that we would have to work out. Reporter like ncaa rules. Turns out ncaa has a policy that allows for athletes who identify as male, but were born female to compete on a womens team as long as they dont take male hormones. So, stephanie marosky said yes. Skylar started making plans to live something of a double life. To be a man on harvards campus the next fall, but a woman on harvards swim team. Meanwhile, skylar came out as and posted on instagram that he had socalled top surgery. A double mastectomy to remove the breasts he hadnt wanted. The whole situation started to worry coach marosky. I think stephanie was the first to realize that skylars plan of being a woman in the water but a man outside was going to be totally detrimental to her psyche. When you enroll in college it is an opportunity to start over again. Reporter reinvent yourself. You can reinvent yourself. And i was struggling watching skylar, because he wanted to reinvent himself as skylar as a male, but was being held back by the athletic piece of it.
