As many as 200 children a day. Most are from central america. Christa works at baptist child and Family Services in san antonio.

Axelrod Jonathan Lowe, thank you. Were learning more tonight about a dramatic rescue in the Mediterranean Sea made by the u. S. Navy when one of six boats full of people trying to flee africa and get to europe started to sink. Two u. S. Navy ships made a bee line for all six boats. Hundreds were saved. Some had already gone overboard. Heres alan pizzey. Reporter searchandrescue helicopters hovered over a disaster in the making. An italian patrol plane spotted six rickety boats jammed with illegal migrants, one of them sinking. The u. S. Navy ships bataan and elrod, in the area in case americans needed to escape from libya, came to the rescue. Thousands of migrants risk the perilous crossing from north africa to europe every month fleeing poverty, war, and in some cases, persecution, with no idea who their passengers were, the u. S. Sailors frisked everyone who came on board. Among those saved were a mother and her baby, a sign of just how desperate people are for a new life. For many, the crossing is just another leg of a journey that has taken months and in some cases, years. The checkup on the ship would be the first time many of them have had any medical care. The migrants set sail in unsea worthy boats with virtually no safety equipment. For the final leg of the voyage, they were put on a real boat and given lifejackets, safe at last. Alan pizzey, cbs news, rome. Axelrod ukraines new president poroshenko took the oath of office today. He offered amnesty to prorussian separatists in the each provided they dont have blood on their hands. In winstonsalem, north carolina, today they gathered for a Memorial Service in which speakers described how god put a rainbow in the clouds. This is the theme as speakers like michelle obama, Oprah Winfrey, and bill clinton considered the legacy of maya angelou, who died last week at the age of 86. Chip reid has more on the celebration of one life that touched so many others. When i think about maya angelou, i think about the affirming power of her words. Reporter First Lady Michelle Obama said Maya Angelous writings first inspired her as a young woman. I was struck by how she celebrated black womens beauty like no one had ever dared to before and oh, how desperately black girls needed that message. Reporter angelous words, she said, still give her strength today. Through long years on the campaign trail where at times my very womanhood was dissected and questioned, for me, that was the power of Maya Angelous words. Words so powerful that they carried a little black girl from the south side of chicago all the way to the white house. applause reporter angelou read one of her poems at bill clintons first inauguration. Come. You may stand up on my back and face your distant destiny. She had enough experiences for five lifetimes. Reporter clinton recalled that angelou was raped as a young child and refused to speak for five years. God loaned her his voice. She had the voice of god. And he decided he wanted it back for a while. Reporter Oprah Winfrey described angelou as her spiritual queen mother. She was my anchor, so its hard to describe to you what it means when your anchor shifts. But i realized this morning, i really dont have to put this into words. What i have to do is live it because thats what she would want. She would want me, you, us to live her legacy. Reporter a legacy of words, wisdom, and spirit that has inspired millions. Chip reid, cbs news, washington. Axelrod later, californias iconic joshua trees under threat from Climate Change. When the cbs evening news continues. Try alka seltzer reliefchews.

Com axelrod we have an update on the story of anonymous millionaire who has been hiding envelopes of cash around california. Hes no longer anonymous. Cbs news has confirmed the mans identity as jason buzi, who says he given way somewhere near 10,000 so far. And plans to keep going. Even in the desert there is such a thing as too hot. At Joshua Tree National park east of los angeles, the last decade was the hottest on record. And now as Danielle Nottingham explanation, these stark symbols of the american southwest are beginning to die off. Reporter looking like sculptures in the sand, joshua trees are icons of the mojave desert. More than a million of them stand under the blazing Southern California sun in Joshua Tree National park. These trees have survived here because their roots are capable of finding water deep in the desert ground but there are early indications that rising temperatures and a severe drought have dried out their water source. This is one thats probably on its way out. Reporter what would Joshua Tree National park be without the joshua trees. It would just be a very different landscape, a very different feeling. Scientists like cameron borrows, now mates 90 of the trees in this park could dry out and die by the end of the search. Warmer is bad, because it increases evaporation and its stressful on the plant itself. Reporter is there any way to reverse whats happening . If we stopped putting carbon in the atmosphere, that would reverse things. It would take a while. Reporter barros team of researchers have been working for months looking for signs of life and new growth, any clue that the joshua tree has a fighting chance in a warmer world. Donna thomas and her grandson elijah are volunteer researchers who comb the landscape. To think that a couple of generations from now it might not be quite so beautiful makes me also want to contribute to do as much as i can to protect whats here. Reporter but scientists do have hope. New trees are growing at Higher Elevations in cooler temperatures and that could mean theyre adapting to Climate Change. This is excellent. Were very excited to find the reproduction that were finding here. Reporter while there is great excitement for each new tree found, theres also a reality the young trees grow only a few inches a year, not fast enough to outpace those lost.
