>> I'M GOING TO CARRY IT AROUND IN CASE I SEE ANY REPORTERS .\( LAUGHTER )>> Reporter: SOME SAY THIS ANTI- PRESS SENTIMENT IS BEING FUELED BY PRESIDENT TRUMP .>> A FEW DAYS AGO, I CALLED THE FAKE NEWS THE ENEMY OF THE PEOPLE, AND THEY ARE. THEY ARE THE ENEMY OF THE PEOPLE .>> IT'S REALLY A GAME CHANGER .>> Reporter: JOEL SIMON IS EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF THE COMMITTEE TO PROTECT JOURNALISTS .>> WHEN JOURNALISTS ARE DOING THEIR JOB AND ASKING TOUGH QUESTIONS AND SOMETIMES BEING A LITTLE PUSHY, THAT THAT WOULD SOMEHOW JUSTIFY SOME SORT OF PHYSICAL ATTACK, THAT'S UNACCEPTABLE. AND WE HAVE TO SPEAK OUT ABOUT THAT .>> Reporter: AMERICA IS A LONG WAYS AWAY FROM THE KIND OF ATTACKS SOMETIMES INCLUDING MURDER, THAT JOURNALISTS HAVE SUFFERED IN OTHER COUNTRIES. THE WORRY, ANTHONY, IS THAT VIOLENCE AIMED AT JOURNALISTS HERE COULD BE AN OMINOUS STEP IN THAT DIRECTION. ANTHONY ?>> Mason: BARRY PETERSEN IN MONTANA. THANKS, BARRY. IN EGYPT, A BUS LOAD OF CHRISTIANS WAS AMBUSHED AS IT WAS HEADED TO A MONASTERY SOUTH OF CAIRO. MASKED GUNMEN RIDING IN S. U. V. s OPENED FIRE ON THE BUS. AT LEAST 28 WERE KILLED, INCLUDING TWO GIRLS AGES TWO AND FOUR. NO CLAIM OF RESPONSIBILITY, BUT ISIS IS SUSPECTED. TURNING NOW TO A MAJOR HEALTH CONCERN. THE CENTERS FOR DISEASE CONTROL REPORTS 64 BABIES HAVE BEEN BORN IN THE CONTINENTAL U. S. WITH ZIKA- RELATED BIRTH DEFECTS. DR. JON LAPOOK HAS BEEN TRACKING THE SPREAD OF THE VIRUS AND RECENTLY SPENT TIME IN TEXAS .>> Reporter: LAST YEAR, LOCAL TRANSMISSION OF ZIKA IN CAMERON COUNTY, TEXAS, BORDERING MEXICO, PROMPTED THE C. D. C. TO RECOMMEND ROUTINE ZIKA TESTING FOR PREGNANT WOMEN HERE. SO FAR THIS YEAR, 15 HAVE TESTED POSITIVE, INCLUDING 24- YEAR- OLD ROCIO MORADO. LAST MONTH, SHE DELIVERED BABY HUGO, BORN WITH MICROCEPHALY. WHAT'S YOUR UNDERSTANDING OF HOW SOMEBODY CAN GET ZIKA ?>> BY THE MOSQUITO, AND SEXUAL TRANSMISSIONS .>> Reporter: AND BEFORE YOU GOT PREGNANT, DID YOU KNOW THAT ?>> NO .>> Reporter: THAT LACK OF AWARENESS IS ALL TOO COMMON, ACCORDING TO ESMERALDA GUAJARDO, WHO HEADS UP ZIKA CONTROL EFFORTS IN THIS BORDER COUNTY. DOES THE PUBLIC UNDERSTAND WELL ENOUGH WHAT ZIKA IS, HOW IT'S SPREAD, HOW TO PROTECT THEMSELVES ?>> I DON'T THINK SO .>> Reporter: SO CAMERON COUNTY IS INCREASING ITS EFFORTS AT MOSQUITO CONTROL AND PUBLIC EDUCATION AND SHARING WHAT IT'S LEARNED WITH OTHERS ACROSS TEXAS .>> WE HAD A BOOT CAMP IN APRIL. WE ALLOWED ALL THE HEALTH DEPARTMENTS TO COME IN TO LEARN FROM OUR MISTAKES .>> Reporter: REALLY? SO THEY'RE GEARING UP AND THE REASON THEY'RE GEARING UP IS ...>> THEY'RE SCARED OF IT HITTING THEIR AREA .>> Reporter: SINCE JANUARY 2016, IN THE STATES AND D. C ., THE C. D. C. HAS REPORTED MORE THAN 5, 000 SYMPTOMATIC ZIKA CASES. ONLY ABOUT 20 % OF INFECTIONS CAUSE SYMPTOMS. AND MORE THAN 1, 800 INFECTIONS IN WOMEN WHO ARE PREGNANT. SO FAR, ONLY SOUTH FLORIDA AND BROWNSVILLE, TEXAS HAVE REPORTED ZIKA INFECTION IN LOCAL MOSQUITOES, BUT TEXAS HEALTH COMMISSIONER DR. JOHN HELLERSTEDT IS CONCERNED TRAVELERS WITH ZIKA IN THEIR BLOODSTREAM COULD SPREAD THE VIRUS TO UNINFECTED MOSQUITOES IN OTHER STATES .>> THEY COULD GO TO ANYWHERE THAT HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO HARBOR THE AEDES AEGYPTI MOSQUITO .>> Reporter: SO IN TEXAS WOULD YOU SAY YOU'RE ON LOW, MEDIUM, OR HIGH ALERT ?>> OH, WE'RE ABSOLUTELY ON HIGH ALERT .>> Reporter: THE QUESTION NOW-- WILL THE VIRUS START TO SPREAD IN VULNERABLE AREAS LIKE THE GULF COAST? AND IF SO, HOW QUICKLY WILL WE DETECT IT ?>> Mason: DR. JON LAPOOK. THANKS, JON. COMING UP NEXT ON THE CBS EVENING NEWS, HUMANS ARE DRAINING THE SWAMP.

MANUEL BOJORQUEZ TELLS US WHAT'S BEING DONE TO SAVE THE EVERGLADES .>> Reporter: IF YOU WANT TO KNOW WHAT'S HAPPENING IN THE EVERGLADES, JUST FOLLOW THE COLORFUL APTLY NAMED ROSEATE SPOONBILL, WHICH HAS RAISED ITS YOUNG HERE FOR HUNDREDS OF YEARS. THEY ARE LEAVING. HOW DISTURBING A TREND IS IT ?>> IT'S VERY SCARY .>> Reporter: JERRY LORENZ OF FLORIDA'S AUDUBON SOCIETY SAYS THE FRESH WATER THE BIRDS NEED IS DISAPPEARING, AND THE ENTIRE ECOSYSTEM IS AT RISK. WHAT HAVE WE DONE TO THE EVERGLADES ?>> WELL, THE BIGGEST THING WE'VE DONE IS DRAINED IT .>> Reporter: FOR ?>> FOR OUR PURPOSES .>> Reporter: DEVELOPMENT, FARMING .>> DEVELOPMENT, AGRICULTURE. THIS WAS THE BIG LAND BOON. THERE WERE PEOPLE WHO LOOKED AT THAT SWAMP AND SAID, " WHAT A WASTE OF LAND. IT'S FERTILE SOIL. LET'S DRAIN IT .">> Reporter: CASE IN POINT-- THIS VIEW OF ONE PART OF THE GLADES IN THE 1970s. THIS IS JUST 30 YEARS LATER. THE EFFECT HAS BEEN TO CUT OFF THE VITAL NATURAL FLOW OF FRESH WATER FROM THE KISSIMMEE RIVER AND LAKE OKEECHOBEE ALL THE WAY TO FLORIDA BAY. THE DISRUPTION CONTRIBUTED TO RECENT TOXIC ALGAE BLOOMS. NOW ALMOST 20 YEARS AFTER LAWMAKERS PASSED A COMPREHENSIVE EVERGLADES RESTORATION PLAN, THE FLORIDA LEGISLATURE FINALLY APPROVED A KEY PROJECT, A $ 1. 5 BILLION RESERVOIR DESIGNED TO HELP RESTORE SOME OF THAT NATURAL FLOW .>> WE GOT OURSELVES INTO THIS MESS. WE CAN FIGURE OUT HOW TO GET OURSELVES OUT OF IT .>> Reporter: DR. TIFFANY TROXLER OF FLORIDA INTERNATIONAL UNIVERSITY SAYS THE NEED IS GREATER THAN EVER BECAUSE ANOTHER PROBLEM, SEA LEVEL RISE, IS ALREADY DAMAGING THE SAWGRASS THAT MAKES UP THIS RIVER OF GRASS .>> WHEN WE CAME OUT HERE AND MEASURED THE SALT, IT WAS ABOUT THREE TIMES HIGHER THAN WHAT WE THOUGHT WE WOULD EXPERIENCE HERE .>> Reporter: IF LEFT UNCHECKED, SEEPING SALT WATER COULD IMPACT MORE THAN JUST WILDLIFE HERE. EIGHT MILLION PEOPLE COUNT ON THE EVERGLADES FOR DRINKING WATER. THAT RESERVOIR THAT WOULD REPLENISH SOME FRESH WATER HERE IS BY NO MEANS A DONE DEAL. ANTHONY, CONGRESS MUST APPROVE ITS SHARE OF FUNDING, AND THEN, OF COURSE, IT WOULD STILL HAVE TO BE BUILT .>> Mason: MANUEL BOJORQUEZ, THANKS, MANUEL. UP NEXT, A FORMER NURSE SUSPECTED OF KILLING AS MANY AS 60 CHILDREN .>> Mason: A FORMER NURSE IN A TEXAS PRISON FOR KILLING A TODDLER IN 1982 HAS NOW BEEN CHARGED WITH MURDERING AN INFANT ONE YEAR EARLIER, AND PROSECUTORS BELIEVE SHE MAY HAVE KILLED DOZENS OF CHILDREN. HERE'S DAVID BEGNAUD .>> Reporter: SUSPECTED SERIAL BABY KILLER GENENE JONES WAS JUST MONTHS AWAY FROM GETTING OUT OF JAIL BECAUSE OF A MANDATORY RELEASE LAW FROM THE 1980s THAT WAS AIMED AT REDUCING PRISON OVERCROWDING, BUT NOW SHE MAY NEVER BREATHE THE AIR OF FREEDOM. THE NEW INDICTMENT AGAINST THE 66- YEAR- OLD COMES 36 YEARS AFTER THE DEATH OF 11- MONTH- OLD JOSHUA SAWYER. PROSECUTORS SAY JONES WAS WORKING AS A PEDIATRIC NURSE AT A HOSPITAL IN BEXAR COUNTY, TEXAS, WHEN SHE INJECTED JOSHUA WITH A LETHAL DOSE OF AN ANTI- SEIZURE DRUG. DISTRICT ATTORNEY NICO LAHOOD .>> Reporter: WHAT WAS THE MOTIVE ?>> I CAN'T SPEAK FOR A MOTIVE. ALL I CAN TELL YOU IS I BELIEVE SHE IS EVIL .>> Reporter: AFTER LAHOOD TOOK OFFICE IN 2015, ESTABLISHED A TASK FORCE TO INVESTIGATE JONES FOR THE SUSPECTED MURDERS OF 60 CHILDREN .>> SHE APPEARED TO BE VERY PASSIONATE ABOUT CHILDREN, LIKE SHE CARED ABOUT THEM. SHE PUT ON A SHOW. SHE WAS A BUNCH OF SMOKE AND MIRRORS .>> Reporter: IN 1985, JONES WAS CONVICTED OF INJECTING PETTI McCLELLAND'S DAUGHTER, CHELSEA, WITH A MUSCLE RELAXER THAT CAUSED PARALYSIS .>> SHE GAVE HER A SHOT IN HER LEFT LEG AND SHE IMMEDIATELY STARTED HAVING A HARD TIME BREATHING .>> Reporter: GENENE JONES NEVER CONFESSED AND HER MOTIVE IS UNKNOWN. BECAUSE THE DEATH PENALTY WAS NOT AN OPTION IN THE '80s WHEN HER CRIME WAS ALLEGEDLY COMMITTED. WHEN SHE APPEARS IN SAN ANTONIO SOON, THE MAXIMUM SHE COULD FACE IS LIFE IN PRISON .>> Mason: DAIVD BEGNAUD, THANK YOU, DAVID. WHEN WE COME BACK, STEVE HARTMAN WITH AN OLD FRIEND AND A MESSAGE GONE VIRAL .>> Mason: FINALLY TONIGHT, WHEN THE WORLD IS AT ITS WORST, A KIND WORD FROM A GOOD NEIGHBOR CAN HELP. HERE'S STEVE HARTMAN " ON THE ROAD ."\[ LOUD EXPLOSION ]>> OH, MY GOD .>> Reporter: WHENEVER EVIL CLAIMS A VICTORY, AS IT DID IN MANCHESTER, PEOPLE SEARCH FOR WORDS OF HOPE. AND THIS WEEK, THAT SEARCH LED MANY BACK DEEP INTO THEIR CHILDHOOD-- TO " MR. ROGERS' NEIGHBORHOOD" OF ALL PLACES .�� IT'S A BEAUTIFUL DAY IN THIS NEIGHBORHOOD �� A BEAUTIFUL DAY FOR A NEIGHBOR >> Reporter: IT WAS MR. FRED ROGERS WHO ONCE SAID, " WHEN I WAS A BOY AND I WOULD SEE SCARY THINGS IN THE NEWS, MY MOTHER WOULD SAY TO ME, 'LOOK FOR THE HELPERS. YOU WILL ALWAYS FIND PEOPLE WHO ARE HELPING.'" THOUSANDS SHARED THAT QUOTE ON SOCIAL MEDIA THIS WEEK, INCLUDING A SENIOR WRITER FROM " ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY ," NAMED ANTHONY BREZNICAN. THAT QUOTE SEEMS ALMOST TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE, RIGHT ?>> Reporter: IT DOES .>> WHENEVER YOU SEE THESE QUOTES IT WILL BE ABRAHAM LINCOLN SAYING SOMETHING .>> Reporter: AND YOU FIND OUT HE NEVER SAID THAT .>> YEAH, HE NEVER SAID THAT. I KNEW FROM EXPERIENCE MR. ROGERS WAS LIKE THAT IN REAL LIFE .>> Reporter: WHICH IS WHY, WHEN ANTHONY SHARED THE HELPER QUOTE HE ADDED A PERSONAL STORY FROM WHEN HE WAS IN COLLEGE THAT MADE IT ALL THE MORE POIGNANT. ON TWITTER HE BEGAN, " I WAS STRUGGLING, LONELY, DEALING WITH A LOT OF BROKEN PIECES AND NOT ADJUSTING WELL ." THEN ONE DAY, HE SAID HE WALKED INTO AN EMPTY COMMONS WITH THE TV ON .>> AND THERE WAS MR. ROGERS. I STOOD THERE MESMERIZED .>> Reporter: HE WATCHED THE ENTIRE EPISODE AND FELT A LITTLE BETTER, BUT SAYS THE REAL FIX CAME A FEW DAYS LATER .>> YEAH, I'M GOING DOWN THE STAIRS TO THE LOBBY OF THE STUDENT UNION AND THE ELEVATOR OPENS, AND MR. ROGERS IS STANDING THERE. AND I JUST GOT IN THE ELEVATOR AND... HE SAID, " WERE YOU ONE OF MY TELEVISION NEIGHBORS? I WAS LIKE, " YES. I WAS ONE OF YOUR NEIGHBORS .">> Reporter: ANTHONY TOLD HIM HOW HE HAD JUST WATCHED THE SHOW, AND HOW IT MADE HIM FEEL BETTER .>> HE SAT DOWN AND HE SAID, " WOULD YOU LIKE TO TELL ME WHAT WAS UPSETTING YOU ?" I DIDN'T HAVE ANYBODY THAT I COULD TALK TO LIKE THAT. I FEEL LIKE HIS TROLLEY CAR-- I FELL OFF THE TRACKS, HE PUT ME BACK ON, AND THAT WAS ALL I NEEDED. AND AT ONE POINT I SAID, " I'M REALLY SORRY. I HOPE I'M NOT TYING YOU UP, THAT YOU HAVE SOMEWHERE ELSE TO GO ." AND HE SAID, " SOMETIMES YOU'RE IN JUST THE RIGHT PLACE .">> I LOOK FOR THE PEOPLE WHO ARE TRYING TO HELP .>> Reporter: MR. ROGERS WAS IN JUST THE RIGHT PLACE AGAIN THIS WEEK, REMINDING US TO LOOK FOR THE HELPERS, THE FIRST RESPONDERS, THE GLOBAL LEADERS, AND CARING NEIGHBORS ACROSS THE WORLD WHO STILL OUTNUMBER EVIL, A MILLION TO ONE. STEVE HARTMAN, " ON THE ROAD" IN LOS ANGELES .>> Mason: " REAL STRENGTH ," FRED ROGERS ALSO SAID, " HAS TO DO WITH HELPING OTHERS ." THAT'S THE CBS EVENING NEWS.
