President trump has invited them to the white house. Up next, the untold story of a tennis champion and pioneer by the friend who knew her best. Dickerson at the u. S. Open today, a tennis pioneer received a long overdue honor when a monument to Althea Gibson was unveiled. In the 1950s, gibson became the first black player to win a major championship. It wasnt easy for her back then, as Maurice Dubois found out from one of gibsons closest friends. Reporter Althea Gibson was a great talent on the tennis court but lonely off it. In 1955, she met her match in Angela Buxton, englands top player. Nobody even spoke to her let alone played with her in her own country. Reporter buxton is jewish and back then wasnt embraced either. Not once did the british girls invite me to join them for a meal, not once. Reporter experiencing similar indignities created a bond. I was very, very friendly with her. Reporter they became doubles partners and won the french open and wimbledon in 1956. One local newspaper reported the historic feat with a small two word headline minorities win. Well, that is something, so it was the smallest thing they could.

And i cant stand it any longer so i decided to kill myself. Reporter she said those words. Yes, she said i am calling to say goodbye. Reporter gibson was sick and could not afford medicine or rent.

You saved your friends life. Yes. Reporter gibson died in 2003. Today, 85 year old Angela Buxton was happy to travel across the pond to attend the ceremony honoring the memory of her friend. The hotels may say on the outside, no blacks allowed and jews, and all that nonsense. She had to face, you know. Reporter and then to get an honor like this. She got the last laugh. Maurice dubois, cbs news, new york. And thats the overnight news this tuesday. For some of you the news continues for others check back tomorrow for cbs in the morning. Im john dickerson. This is the cbs overnight news. Welcome to the overnight news. Im meg oliver. President trump is back in washington after wrapping up the g7 summit in france with a headspinning news conference, the president dismissed all concerns about Climate Change and said china has been calling him to cult a trade deal and he insisted hes willing to negotiate a new nuclear trade with iran and offered to host a summit at his resort in florida. Heres at details. Before leaving france President Trump said this. I think they want to make a deal, im not sure they have a choice. And i dont say that as a threat. I dont think they have a choice. Reporter the president says chinese leaders called twice last night saying they want to resume talks. News that sent the stock market soaring. But the Chinese Foreign Ministry Says it isnt aware of any calls. And trade talks were already scheduled for next month. It is the president who has been saying this. I am just not ready to make a deal yet. China would like to make a deal, im not ready. You have recently been saying china wants a deal but you are not necessary ready for a deal. And you like the tariff revenue that is coming in. Are you now ready to make a deal . Only if it is a fair deal and a good deal for the united states. Otherwise i will not make a deal. Reporter at the g7 this weekend the president seemed to express doubts about his strategy. Do you have second thoughts about escalating the trade war . I have second thoughts about everything. Reporter the white house claims he meant he regrets not being tougher on china. But mr. Trump has repeatedly changed his position. Via twitter on friday he called chinese president xi jinping an enemy. Today he called him a great leader. On friday he ordered American Companies to start leaving china. I have the absolute right to do that. Well see how that goes. Reporter today he said this. We make a deal, i would like to see them stay there and do a great job. Reporter and now mr. Trump says his latest tariff threat might not even happen. Well, i think anything is possible. Reporter the president says its also possible that he will sit down with iranian president Hassan Rouhani in the next if you months. I think iran wants to get their situation straightened out. Now is that based on fact or based on gut, thats based on gut. Theres been a verdict in the first trial against a Pharmaceutical Company accused of fuelling the Opioid Epidemic. I am entering an abatement plan that consists of costs totaling 572,102,028. Reporter judge thad balancekman concluded the state proved pharmaceutical giant johnson and johnson an its sub subsidiary jannsenn caused a Public Health emergency. State attorney general michael hunter. When opioid when opioid sales in oklahoma began to skyrocket, the death toll from unintentional Prescription Drug related overdoses mounted. Leaving in its wake broken homes, families and communities. Reporter the state estimates the Opioid Epidemic has killed some 6,000 oklahomans in 19 years. In 2017 they sued johnson johnson, Purdue Pharma and Teva Pharmaceuticals for aggressively marketing opioids to doctors while significantly downplaying the addiction risks. Teva and purdue settled for more than 300 million. Johnson johnson vows to appeal. Johnson johnson did not cause the opioid abuse crisis here in oklahoma or anywhere in this country. Reporter tonya ratcliff, a foster mother testified for the plaintiffs about caring for children born addicted to opioids. What does your idea of justice look like . I think we have to look at saving lives. You know, the lives that have been lost already is was that for nothing . Reporter more than 40 other the focus is now on ohio for a trial that starts there in october. Theres a hurricane brewing. A blossoming of showers and thunderstorms thunderstorms approaching barbados as we speak. Landfall tonight will be across the leeward islands, winds now 60 miles an hour to the west. During the day tomorrow it will pick up steam. We think it could become a hurricane and probably track very close to, if not over puerto rico on wednesday. So you should be preparing for a cat 1 maybe even cat 2 hurricane. We often say prepare for a category higher than we expect. The question is does it split the uprights in between the Dominican Republic and puerto rico. If so it avoids the mountains and emerges a stronger storm once it gets into the bahamas. It could threaten florida as we head into the weekend, especially saturday into sunday. So to sum it up, dorian now appears to be a bigger threat. Puerto rico needs to prepare for a possible hurricane on wednesday. And south florida should be on standby as we head into the weekend. It could be threatening the area as a Tropical Storm or maybe even a low wind hurricane. Tens of thousands of fires continue to rage out of control in the amazon rainforest and thats got the attention of governments around the world. G7 nations pledged 20 million to help and canada 11 million more, all just a drop in the bucket. Heres the story on brazil. Reporter if the weekend was any measure, the flames are winning. More than 10,000 new fires were reported over the past few days. Many believe to be sparked by farmers clearing land. This is the aftermath. Even among the ashes here you can see the signs of deforestation. Some of these fallen trees still bear the clean marks from where they were chopped down. Under intense pressure, brazilian president Jair Bolsonaro ordered the military to help put out the flames. This major dismissed the International Scrutiny of what he feels brazil has under control. There are people who think that this type of assistance should have happened a lot faster. Do you have anything to say to them . translated no. We do know that its happening and have taken action before. The only difference is the International Visibility came just now, he said. We took a look from above. It is the dry season so there are naturally occurring fires. But what is different about the fire activity down below this year is that Scientists Say what is left of the rainforest is dryer than it should be. And that, they believe, is a result of Climate Change. The irony is the amazon is seen as key to fighting Climate Change. But we found families concerned at this point, only about saving their homes. Even if a pail of water and a garden hose is all they have. Okay, he says he just started on that side and came over here and it looks like they are trying to just keep it away from their houses. There was some relief earlier today in the form of rain to help put out the embers in huge fields like this one. But it was short lived and the dry season could last until november. The cbs overnight news be right back. Charmin ultra soft its softer than ever. Charmin ultra soft is twice as absorbent so you can use less. And its softer than ever. So its harder to resist. Okay, this is getting a little weird. We all go, why not enjoy the go with charmin . Okay ladies its time we take back the bedroom. Starting with condoms ky me you condoms designed with extra lubrication to meet our needs first finally get what you want this is the cbs overnight news. Welcome back to the overnight news. Im meg oliver. Its day two of the u. S. Open tennis championships in new york city and total of 57 million in prize money is on the table. The single winner in mens and Womens Division will each take 400 million. Not 4 million. Still chasing the dream of tennis stardom. Ted koppel has one players story. He hauls his own gear. Can i take that mr. Federer. No thanks i got it. Super stardom means global fame, big money. Limos and private jets when youre one of the other top 200 professional tennis players in the world, however, when your ranking is say in the 170s and you show up to play in the little rock open, you pick up your own bags and you find your own transportation. Was wondering if a car could possibly pick me up at the airport. The hotel put him on hold. Not sure theyre coming back. They didnt. Hi i was just on the phone with you guys, dont know if i lost you or something. To be unknown is to practice patience. Okay. Whats your name. Noah. Hi noah. Nice to meet you. Noah ruben as you should know has played against federer thats the two of them, noah in the dark shirt, at the third round of the Australian Open in 2017. Federer is one of the greatest tennis players of all time. Noahs top ranking was 125th in the world. If he had beaten federer you would have heard about it. A few more people would know the name. Checking in. Whats the last name. Ruben. What brings you in. Tennis. Oh, yeah. Going to win huh. Well see about that. Wheres your crew . All your homies here. I know i needed some more friends, didnt i. Yeah. No seriously. The expectation is youve been a pro now how many years. About three, three and half years. You have a manager, you have a coach, you have a mass use, you have travel agent. Uese, you have travel agent. Its a dream of mine to have the team every step of the way but thats only at the top but we are supporting each other. Forbes magazine compiles highest paid athletes in all sports Roger Federer ranked fifth with earnings of 93. 4 million. Noahs earnings this year should be somewhere north of 100,000 before taxes. Most folks watching this program will say not a fortunate but not bad. Right. But thats before expenses. Yeah. Talk about the expenses. Ive averaged it out to about 40,000 a year, i mean, thats through flights, hotels, transportation, food, not even a bag of pretzels. Im nomadic. I live on the road. This is my life. This is what i have to pay for but end of the year youre not making much money. Tennis has been a central feature of noahs life since long before he cared about skpenlss. Expenses. In his freshman year was named Atlantic Coast conference player of the year. At age 18 qualified for wimbledons Junior Championship and he won it. Now 23 noahs professional career would really move into high gear if he could break into the worlds top 100 players. You probably play twice as many tournaments as nadal or federer . Yeah federer plays about twelve tournaments a year, and im getting to about, 30. Because you have to. Because i have to. Take florida rock open challenger for example. Yall are in the corners. Chip is the tournament direct joor. The challenger is like aaa baseball. It means that all of the players at the this level are at the doorstep of playing the very highest level tennis. Hold the umbrella over the player on change overs. On one level like officiating the little rock open is conducted just like a grand slam event. On the other hand the ball girls and boys are a little bit younger than at u. S. Open. Make sure you open it away from the player. Dont want to poke them in the eye. Its hard enough for a kid no matter what the age to concentrate but they are out doing the best they can and are doing it because they love tennis. I want you to comment on one word a lot of the young people use. Oh, boy. Thats exactly what these guys are dog. All player are doing. All of the players start at this level. Top american leagues have gone through this rank. Last summer at city open in washington, d. C. For example. That was extraordinary. When noah seemed to reach his ll potential. He beat fellow american john izner ranked nine in the world. Not only is great player, hes 611 with incredible span. Physically on a day like that you must walk off the court saying, well, maybe. I have the utmost faith in myself. I really believe that i can make it if i put the effort into it. It just comes a point where what does making it mean . It means grinding through tough competition at events like the little rock open challenger where a good crowd these days may number 40 or 50. For people watching they are really firstrate tennis players. But if youre losing first round you make 320. And if you win in the first sflound. I think its around 800. Noah won his first two matches in river rock but got knocked out in the third. His earnings, 1290 which meant after expenses he wasnt sure he broke even. Oh, the worst. Wheeling a bag on carpet. By late june noah was in london at wimbledon playing and winning three qualifying matches just to get into the granddaddy of all grand slam tournaments. He was knocked out in the first round. But get this, even losing in the first round at wimbledon noah earned close to 50,000. Big tournaments, big money. So, yeah, so much pressure being out it will. Fast forward, this past week, new york, hot, sticky, noah facing another three qualifying matches to get into the home season, this is home turf for friends, family, teachers. It tends to be a little bit too much. People who havent seen me play and might know about you and you lose and theyre like nice try, noah, honestly it tears at me a bit. Really does. Its the sort of story he may have shared on the instagram. Others have opened with stories of loneyness and eating disorders on tour. One player talked about his stutter. Another about herpel depression. The modest success of behind the racket has prompted speculation that might be getting away from the grind. I think im actually finding ways to deal with the tennis world a lot and doing these stories is like a minor therapy for myself because im finding out im one of many and lot of people are dealing with the same things im dealing with and i think were helping each other out. He was eliminated in the second qualifying match and will not be in the u. S. Open this year. The usual headliners will be there, roger, heres a simple trueorfalse quiz for you.

Open all eyes are on defending champion and top seed naomi osaka, we caught up with the 21yearold before she hit the court. Describing naomi osakas game to those who never watched her play isnt difficult. On the court shes a whirl wind of intensity blanlsed by poise and grace. Given your competitiveness how important to the be ranked number one tennis player in the world zbrts. Its always been a dream. One of the things little kid tennis players look forward to. We want to be number one. At only 21 years old has already reached the pinnacle of her sport. When we met her in new york she spoke with us. Do you think that pressure is internal or external . I think the internal pressure isnt as bad. Okay. Why do i say that, because i realize i do put a lot of pressure on myself because having the number one ranking means youre supposed to be the best. You had a very personal Instagram Post where you called the last few months the worse of your life. What happened to make you feel that way. The tennis players train so hard just for that one moment or one match on the court. Its a really high high if you win or really low low if you lose. After winning backtoback grand slam title she was eliminated in july from wimbledon in the first round. One of the biggest thing i want to learn over the summer is keep getting up and believe in yourself and have fun. Is tennis fun. I think theres moments it stops being fun but im super grateful to be in this position. Despite her soaring celebrity and influence shes grounded and credits tennis legend serena williams. I have huge respect for her, look up to her my entire life and still feel shocked whenever she reaches out, i dont know, i dont say hi to her or anything because i get so nervous. Really. Yeah she always seems to be doing something important and i dont want to interrupt. I really want to talk to her about life and stuff and how she does things on and off the court but dont want to dis be disrespectful to her and talk to her like shes my mentor while shes still playing so im just chilling. Do you think you would reach out to her just to see. I mean, i would. But im nervous. Do you feel like your peer at first. No. You dont feel like a peer. Id have to win 20 something more grand slams to be her peer, no way. Im theres been a rash of shark attacks up and down the east coast this summer. No ones been killed, mostly nips but a sighting can send people screaming out of the water and on to the san. Theres a spot in the gulf of mexico where people are not fleeing the sharks but walking out into the water to study them and took Mark Phillips along.

They love this place. Its a sharks singles bar. Wes prat and nick from the aquarium. This is the only place in the world you can study shark mating behavior on a reliable basis. They have a sly technique moving to the sharks as they got their mind on Something Else and netting them. The the kind of thing you got to get right the first time. Nice. These are nurse sharks, not the most fearsome species but can still take a chunk out of you when disturbed and this is the definition of disturbed. Before we started almost nothing was known about shark mating behavior. This particular species is a window into that world. White sharks, blue sharks, hammer heads, all mate like this. And theyre all threatened, landed by catch by fisherman and caught deliberately for food in some parts of the world. Without enough sharks at the top of the foodhain the rest of the marine sworld out of whack. Yes sharks need our help and research. Technology is helping that research. Wes and nick tag the sharks and track the movement. The devices will float to the surface after few days revealing whether the animal has found a partner. They dont just study the sharks here they get attached to them. Naming them. This female they gave a special name in honor of our visit. Nurse shark norah off pushing the bounds of science.
