Fixer upper stars chip and Joanna Gaines will be here. This is a morning exclusive. Their first interview today after leaving that wildly popular show. Wildly is right. Lets start with breaking news. Rescue teams have been working through the night after an offshore Oil Rig Explosion in new orleans. At least seven people were injured. We understand five of the injuries are critical, one person is missing. The explosion happened on an oil transfer station in lake pontchartrain. Witnesses heard what sounded like a sonic boom and saw a large fireball. Authorities say its too early to tell if any oil has spilled into that lake. In Northern California firefighters are making headway now against those Deadly Wildfires burning for a second week, but they know there is still a long way to go. Lets go back to joe fryer in santa rosa for us. Joe, good morning. Reporter good morning. Firefighters say theyre turning the corner and making progress despite dry conditions over the weekend. Theyre fighting stubborn spots that are challenging those on the front lines for days. Fueled by coffee and adrenaline, many firefighters are running on empty. I think everyones tired. This has taken a toll on everybody from an emotional standpoint. Reporter but cooler temperatures and calmer winds are helping some 11,000 firefighters gain some ground while tent cities are helping them get desperately needed rest. If they try to keep us off the line for a couple hours to get us some rest in between shifts. Reporter across the region at least a dozen wineries and vineyards have been destroyed or badly damaged like mayacama, one of napas most iconic wine estates dating back to 1989. Oh, wow, look at that. Reporter while much of the property was destroyed, it was not a complete loss. The winery building which has been here for almost 130 years, its the heart and soul of this place, is what matters the most. We open the doors and we looked inside and the insides were okay and the cellars were still cool. It gave us a lot of hope. Reporter evacuation orders have been lifted in some areas but firefighters are battling in others. Were here to do a job, and thats to protect lives and property. Reporter for peter lang, his property was secondary when flames from the tubbs fire started moving in destroying his home. There was no choice. Reporter for lang, who runs safari west, a Wildlife Sanctuary outside santa rosa, the animals are his priority. These are living, breathing things. You got to stick with the living souls. Reporter he stuck with them and somehow managed to save all 1,000 birds and animals at the safari park. If you love it, you want to preserve it and take care of it. Its your responsibility. Most of the animals in the years weve been here were born here. Reporter the tradition at safari west lives on with a new addition to the park, a baby antelope born just last friday appropriately named tubbs. The death toll is still at 40 but firefighters believe they are turning the corner. The three big fires that devastated this region over the past week are now between 40 and 65 contained. Savannah and matt . All right, joe, thank you. Now to the ongoing crisis in puerto rico. Its been nearly a month since Hurricane Maria devastated that island, and problems are still mounting there. This morning theres growing concern tied to the water supply. Gabe gutierrez is in san juan. Gabe, good morning to you. Reporter matt, good morning. Nearly 70 of puerto rico now has running water, but those who dont are getting increasingly desperate. The Environmental Protection agency telling us that some people are cutting through fencing to get access to potentially dangerous water wells. This morning nearly a month after Hurricane Maria, puerto rico is facing a growing water crisis. Some areas dont have it. Others like residents of derado west of san juan, fear it could be contaminated. The epa is investigating whether water from several wells is safe to drink. An area from dorado was added to the super list meaning that its so polluted. The army and fema are delivering clean water to worried residents. Have you been drinking any of the no, a lot of people get sick. Reporter only 15 of the u. S. Territory has power. That means a population almost the size of nevada is still in the dark. Making it hard to pump and treat water. The Biggest Issue for us on water is really electrical power. Reporter the mayor here says the biggest problem is distribution, not enough water. Help is here, and we are actively seeking ways to maximize the efficiency of the water distribution. Reporter relief also coming to the island of vieques just off puerto ricos southeastern coast shredded by maria. The lines for fuel still stretching for blocks. Supplies are scarce. Locals like william day estimate almost a third of the islands 9,000 residents have already left. Why is it so important for you to stay here . Im a fighter. My message would be that, you know, help us, just help us. Reporter the governor here has set an ambitious goal of restoring power to 95 of puerto rico by middecember. Matt . Gabe gutierrez on this story for us. Gabe, thank you. Its that time of the morning. We get hodas morning boost.

It was very cool. What an adventure its been. Do you know about 40 of your happiness is dictated by your genes . 15 by your environment. That leaves 45 up to you. And few have that extra happiness figured out like the danes. Can a bike lane lead to a happier life . Here we go. In copenhagen, this is how half the city gets around. This city bicycles more than any other city on earth. Its incredible. Everywhere there are bicycles. 1. 2 million kilometers per day. The equivalent of 35 trips around the world. Copenhagen estimates it saves 15 billion a year because people are biking to work instead of driving. And National Geographics dan butner says that gives them Something Else to brag about. For 40 years, denmark has ranked as one of the happiest places on earth. Its not a coincidence that people are happy here. The happiest people in the world are interacting face to face like we are now six to seven hours a day. You cant do that in your car. He says bikes are just one way the danes make life less stressed and more joyful. When i think of happiness i think of three qualities how much pleasure you have in your life, how much pride you have with your life, and living with a sense of purpose. Here, no job is less than any other. Do you have any hesitation telling people youre a garbage man . No. No. Its a job you can be proud . Yes. Yeah.

Mothers dont have to worry so much about childcare. In denmark, you get a year off paid . Paid. Paid. Do you lock your door . During the day . Yes. Never. And on the sidewalk all by herself theres a baby. Youd be arrested in new york. Trust is even more important than wealth when it comes to happiness. And theres a feeling here in denmark that nothing too bad will ever happen to you. The danes trust the government. They pay enormously high taxes. Every dane is born with the right to free health care, Free Education through college, comfortable retirement. Theyre free to pursue a job that meets their passions and their interests. Alex monroes passion is the palace. His familys home for eight generations. How many rooms . Bedrooms good question. A very good question. It wasnt designed to be a hard one. He is housekeeper, butler, and handyman of this gorgeous but somewhat crumbling estate. I mean, you take out the garbage here. Yes. Definitely. Definitely. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. His happiness comes from seeing this part of danish history preserved for everyone. I think i would probably put myself at a seven or Something Like that. I still look forward to finding the woman of my life and having kids and that sort of stuff. My level of joy and happiness can go up. There are going to be a lot of people watching this who said they could take you up on that. If you need more proof of just how happy they are, look what the garbage man does when another truck got in his way. We thought he was going to yell at the guy. Yeah. Thats what would have happened in new york. But no. Danish road rage, he got out and asked if he could get out of the way. Do i need to move . Can you move . Everybody has that attitude. You have just a lower baseline of stress. Sorry, sorry, sorry. Cant stop. Cant stop. Which helped me and my producer youre getting weird looks on our own search for happiness.

Shes also out with a brandnew childrens album called i believe in you. Lets take a look im a brave Little Soldier and i must carry on im a brave Little Soldier a brave Little Soldier ba da rum rum rum dolly parton, welcome back nice to see you. I was singing to a bunch of gts kids. Thats nice for a childrens album. Thats good. 50 years ago you released hello, im dolly. Not hello dolly. Hel hello, imdom dolly. It seemed to be the right time because i have a program called the Imagination Library where i give books to children from time theyre born until they start kindergarten. We were coming up on giving away our 100 millionth book and the fact that the two coats of many colors movies did so well. So it seemed time. All the proceeds from this album are going to that. Every dime of it goes to put books in the hands of more children. Thats great. You dont have children of your own. Youve talked about this in the past. You say you believe actually god had a plan for that. Explain that. Well, god has a plan for everything, but i said that i think it probably was his plan for me not to have kids so everybodys kids could be mine. And they are now. Kids gravitate toward you. They love you. Why do you think that is . Why are you so good around children . Well, i grew up in a whole big bunch of kids. Eight kids younger than me. I just love kids. I have that high pitched voice, im overexaggerated. I look like mother goose or one of the cartoon characters. Kids relate to that. I dont want to make it sound like childlike immaturity, but you have a childlike enthusiasm about you that i think kids identify with. I think so, too. I do think im childlike. But thats different from childish. People said why did you wait so long to put this album out. I wanted to wait until my second childhood. When did that start . A few years back. I love the title. Such a simple phrase i believe in you. If you say that to a child at the right time of his or her life, it makes a huge difference. It does. And in fact, a lot of these songs are based on the themes of the books that we give away. The little engine that could was my favorite little book. Thats the first book we give out. I pattern that just like the little engine that says i can or the little engine in all of us that says i can. If i can do it, so can you. And i believe in you. I heard you singing a song a second ago, theres another song on the album thats about bullying. Its called making fun aint funny. Thats a subject thats worth really pursuing. Its to teach children that they should not do that. Oh, there you go. Did you have any experience with bullying . Absolutely. My song the coat of many colors where the kids were making fun of me and bullying us because we were poor kids and wore ragged clothes. I know how painful it is. Youre modest about it so you dont talk about it all that much, but youre a giver. You showed up at vanderbilt Childrens Hospital not long ago. Friday. The day the album came out. With a big check. Yes, i did. A Million Dollars . Yes, for the Childrens Hospital there. Because my niece hannah, when she was 4 shes 29 now. But she got leukemia. And they took such good care of her. All these many years later god does have his ways of working. So i asked her if shed come with me down to the hospital. She was so happy. She got to see a lot of her nurses that took care of her when she was little. Shes doing okay . Shes great. She was fine after she was like 10 years old we were out of the woods with that. You raised eyebrows when you showed up with lily tomlin and jane fonda about a nine to five reunion. Any chance youd do the second version of that . I dont know. We better get after it or well have to call it 95 and not nine to five. You always have time. Nice to see you here. Might i mention that the hero song that i wrote, the brave Little Soldier that you heard and chemo hero were ones i wrote for hannah back then and those are the ones that we performed for vanderbilt. Its called i believe in you. All proceeds go to dollys project Imagination Library. Up next a family dollys familiar with. We catch up with miley and billy ray. We are back with the voice on today.

Miley, back at the voice, back coaching. How does it feel . Im so excited. The first allfemale team. It was kind of the way it turned out. I did push my button for some dudes. At the end i kind of stopped pushing because i saw that i was so close to having the first allfemale team and i like to do something that no ones done before. You see adam, blake, all the dynamics. You know how to navigate that now. Thats why i brought my dad in because i want blake to be very afraid. I stole some of his country artists. Now he has a little bit of competition. Oh, its on. Whats it like seeing your daughter in this position where you coached her early in her careers. Miley has a good sense for songs and rhythms and pockets. Seeing her in this environment is where she belongs. Jolene jolene Waylon Jennings or george jones, dolly parton all had that same common denominator saying the music is an extension of your life. Let your songs be your truth. And miley stands for that. And i think thats what shes gibbing back here. I came in like a wrecking ball not only is the miley now different from wrecking ball miley 2013 . I think its all the same. Everyone changes all the time. My dads least favorite word in the english language is change. Have you tried to get him to change the hair . No, i love the hair. If my mom was here, shed tell you that she was trying to shave his head. Its gorgeous. It inspires me. I even brought a flat iron to work today. Ive always been his hairstylist. Ready, dad . You belong in that home by and by how much has changed in that dynamic . She talks about changing. She hasnt changed at all. She is the same miley that ran around the farm. Thats our heart and her spirit. She always knew who she was, why she was on this journey. You talked though at one point feeling that your image was being oversexualized and you are sort of taking back who you are. Talking about sex in front of my dad sucks, so lets move on. No ones been more sexualized than this man. My achy breaky heart show them what the women want. Give us the billy ray shake. Yeah, dad, take it. But please, let me leave the room first and vomit in my car. Big wheels keep on turning its got to be real special to be able to call your dad up and say, dad, i need you on my team now. Theres never been anyone that gives me better advice than my dad. No matter if they win or if they go home or get on another coachs team, i want them to have something that they can take with them. All right. But miley has some competition this season with jhud joining the voice which miley says shes a huge fan. And guys are going to see them battle it out this week. Good one this year. How about that little clip you had there of milly ray singing achy breaky heart 1992. Still has the same hair, though. You have to embrace it. Thank you, nat. You can catch the voice tonight and tomorrow at 8 00, 7 00 central. Up next, savannah gets a lesson on cooking a classic pasta dish. And if she can learn oh, come on were back with today food and today were announcing our second today food class in cooperation with craftsy. Hell be leading the lessons for anybody who wants to learn to make pasta like a pro. And he gave me a special behind the scenes class. Take a look. Its been said that happiness can be found in a bowl of spaghetti. So with that in mind ive gone behind the scenes with chef scott conant as he prepares for his pasta class in his collaboration with craftsy. Were starting with spaghetti aglio e olio. Does it come with a pronunciation lesson. The pasta water needs to be salted so that it tastes like broth. Plenty of oil because its aglio e olio. Sliced garlic. Am i overdoing it . Giving this garlic the time of its life. Grab one strand. Its hot. Hot pasta. So taste it and youll get that its still a little too al dente but about 80 cooked. This is the key. Theres a liquid and the fat and the starch from the pasta, those will intermingle and that creates a great sauce. A great texture on the exterior of the pasta. No garlic, right . Youre right. I like it. Agitate it a little bit like this. Ill agitate it. Im an agitator. Ive heard that about you. Youve been talking to lauer. What you want to do is put it towards the end of the pan and then flip up and over. Oh, sorry. No, thats great. What do you think . Hows the flavor . Fantastic. Really, really good. And scott conant im so nervous is with us now. Were ready to cook. Are you ready . I am. The tasters are over there. The judging table, i might call it. Youve already made this. So im going to let you cook. Spaghetti aglio e olio. Its been cooking. We want to it be al dente, which is italian for just right. I dont know. So we brown this garlic. Its a lightly browned. Well add a pinch of crushed red pepper. Im going to turn this up a little bit. You want to get that little sizzle. And well add some of oh, the pasta water. Do you know why we use the ta water or why we save it . Why, savannah. Because it makes a delicious sauce. Thats right. Well done. So here i am cooking. Here i am cooking. We need a pinch of salt. Theres a pinch of salt in the pasta water. A little salt. I like a little salt. Well take this pasta. Oh, i should do this. Ill do it. Okay. And well take some of the residual liquid that it. I want to see savannah do that. Well cook together for a couple of minutes. The emulsification happens like we talked about. The starch is released into the liquid and it is absorbed into the pasta and that pasta tastes like broth. So it has just enough salt to taste like broth. It tastes lieke the sea. It will reduce. I thought wine from you. Not like the sea. One thing at a time. So is it done . It needs another second. How dawn if it is done . Do you taste it. You could tell from the way it falls. The way your pasta is falling, it is a little bit looser and more link and this is a little underdone. So if it is crunchy, that is not good. Crunchy is bad. What do you think . It is delicious. Savannah, very good. It is easy. When everything has been done for you. And scott, dont worry, people will forget all about this. Ive given a little time. Thank you so much.
