Cbs news poll out this morning shows most americans are worried that north Koreas Nuclear Weapons Program could lead to war. 72 say theyre uneasy about a possible conflict. Only 35 are confident in President Trumps ability to handle the situation. The poll was taken over four days as the u. N. Approved tough new sanctions on north korea. China accounts for more than 90 of north korean trade. Trade between china and north korea is up more than 10 this year. Ben tracy is in beijing with the american goal for these new sanctions. Ben, good morning. Good morning. It took more than a month for the u. S. To get china and russia to go along with the sanctions that they say will cost north korea more than a billion dollars each year. But the questions now are will china and russia actually enforce these sanctions and will they work. Translator north koreas most famous news anchor defia defiantly announced the north wont put its weapons on the negotiating table despite what it calls fabricated u. N. Sanctions. Building a Nuclear Weapon and Missile Program is not cheap. The u. N. Sanctions banning major north korean exports such as coal and iron are designed to starve the regime of the money to pay for it. Money that is also used to enrich the powerful elite and generals who in turn dont challenge kim jonguns near total power. Anthony rogerio is an expert on sanctions. Theyll have to to make a choice. They wont be able to continue their programs and keep the elites and military happy. Theyll have to start making choices they havent had to choose before. When we visited north korea this spring, we saw kim jongun unveil a massive new neighborhood of shimmering highrises. His way of showing the world that eight previous rounds of u. N. Sanctions over more than a decade did not work. But this time china says its will fully enforce the sanctions, which means cutting off a lot of the trade that happens here in the chinese border town of dandong. North koreas ability to keep funding its Weapons Program will likely come at the expense of its citizens, many of whom are already forced to work in other countries. They send their pay worth more than a billion dollars to the regime. The new sanctions wont end that or address t Chinese Companies and banks that continue to do business with north korea. Its good that we have a resolution, but the next step is making sure that all of these areas, all these loopholes, all the areas that have been called out are fixed one by one. Another big thing these sanctions do not address is the oil that china exports to north korea. Its widely believed if china were to simply cut that off the north korean regime would eventually collapse. China has no interest in seeing that happen because they fear a refugee crisis of the roughly 800milelong border it shares with north korea. Margaret . Ben tracy in beijing, thank you. Our poll also finds no real change in the president s job rating. 36 said they approve of his performance and 58 disapprove. Thats about the same as two months ago. The Trump Administration is studying a draft report on Climate Change that was leaked to the New York Times. The research by 13 federal agencies says its possible to attribute some extreme weather to Climate Change. They say average u. S. Temperatures have risen rapidly since 1980 and are now the warmest in 1,700 years. Major garrett is near the Trump National golf club in bedminster, new jersey. Major, gong. Reporter good morning. President trumps skepticism about the link between Global Warming and Green House Gas emissions is wellknown. This report awaits white house release and the lack of comment from officials here and from those a at some of the relevant federal agencies about this reports startling conclusions suggest not just skepticism but at least initially the lack of curiosity. Obamas talking about all of this with the Global Warming and a lot of its a hoax. Reporr. Tte mmp has a history of challenging the Science Behind Climate Change including once suggesting, quote, the concept of Global Warming was created by and for the chinese. But a draft report from 13 federal agencies asserts the impact of Climate Change is being felt right now, creating higher temperatures and even causing some extreme weather events. I dont believe that Climate Change is a hoax. Reporter scott pruitt of the Environmental Protection agency was force to admit during his confirmation hearing that he does not believe Climate Change is made up. Since being confirmed by the senate hes questioned human involvement. I think measuring with precision human activity on the climate is very challenging to do. There is tremendous disagreement about the degree of impact. Reporter the report awaiting white houses approval states many lines of evidence demonstrate human activities, especially emissions of Greenhouse Gases, are primarily responsible for recent observed Climate Change. I was elected to represent the citizens of pittsburgh, not paris. Reporter in june, President Trump pulled out of the paris climate accords, a global agreement aimed at reducing Greenhouse Gas emissions. The president said the decision was to protect american jobs and he promised to protect the environment. Were going to have the cleanest air, the cleanest water. We will be environmentally friendly, but we are not going to put our businesses out of work. Reporter when the president touts the biggest achievements of his administration so far, many are in the area of regulations repealing or rolling back those dealing with the environment from the Obama Administration and expanding the extraction of fossil fuels. Charlie, the administration relentlessly argues that those regulations did far more economic harm than environmental good. Major, thanks. Dramatic Surveillance Video shows how strong winds caused a car to tumble down the road in suburban maryland as a suspected tornado tore through city yesterday. No injuries were reported. The storm damaged homes and businesses. A team from the National Weather service will be in the area today to confirm a tornado touched down. Chip reid is in salisbury where a big cleanup is under way. Chip, good morning. Reporter good morning. Take a look at the advantage. Crews with the National Weather service will be here to try to confirm that a tornado did that. Sothing swepthrough salisbury monday afternoon. And it was not a summer breeze. The wind picked up. We felt the glass shattering on the buildings. The awnings were almost ready to lift. Reporter part of this building crumbled under the strength of the storm. I heard what sounded like a freight train. It sounded like bulls running across the roof. Reporter the power of this suspected tornado was captured by the surveillance camera of a local pub, hop ears tap house, lifting the sedan into the air and on top of another vehicle. A different camera caught another car rolling down the street like tumble weed. The car that flipped onto the other cars, somebody was in that. Reporter general manager blake benn who arrived at the restaurant shortly after this went down said his employees helped pull someone out of the flipped car. This other gentleman was breaking the window trying to find something to get to the window to get the one guy out. Reporter the National Weather service issued a Severe Thunderstorm Warning at 1 37 p. M. For salisbury which detailed the possibility of a tornado. But an official warning was never issued. National Weather Service Officials Say they believe the suspected twister touched at 1 40 p. M. , three minutes after the thunderstorm warning. The same system that hit salisbury yesterday injured 30 people in tulsa, oklahoma, sunday. An ef2 tornado caused widespread damage without warning. The National Weather service only issued a Tornado Warning after the storm had passed. The citys sirens were never activated. No one died. We were running behind the storm. It evolved and moved quickly. The city worked well, communicated well. It was just on our end. We were behind the storm. Reporter if what came through here turns out to have been a tornado it will be the second tornado to have touched down in this region in two ek by the way, the general manager of hoppers tap house said this building is a total loss but the main restaurant around the corner he hopes to have back in business later today.

A seventh home threatened by a sink hole in florida has been condemned. At its widest, the crater measures 260 feet. That is larger than the wingspan of a pogioboeing 747. It first appeared more than three weeks ago and destroyed two homes. Manuel bojorquez is in land o lakes, florida. Manuel, good morning. Reporter good morning. This is as close as authorities will let us get to the sink hole and to all the work that is being done back there. Clearly for security reasons. But we can show you what it all looked like earlier this morning from above. That sinkhole has widened by another 30 feet since last week. No deaths or injuries have been reported but crews havent been able to finish stabilizing its banks or even removing all of that debris. Officials describe this mammoth sinkhole now filled with water as the largest in the county in 30 years. It swallowed two homes in this tampa suburb. When it suddenly appeared july 14. After it widened again over the weekend again five more houses were condemned and more families were displaced. The news that we wont be able to go back into the house ever is sad. But it offers closure. Its not safe to live in. Reporter the county found cracked walls or Unstable Foundation in the houses it wants demolished. This is a catastrophic financial e havent for some people. These p are peoples nest eggs. Their homes sometimes are the biggest investment they may have. Reporter Officials Say they dont know if the recent instability means the sink hole is still growing or if it aggravated existing depressions nearby. That area was a lake before. Who knows . Mae it will be a lake in the future. E. Reporter as part of the first phase of the cleanup, crews dumped 125 truckloads of uncrushed lime rock on the edge of the hole to keep the banks from collapsing. Next, waste trucks will pump out water while a backhoe on a barge removes debris from the center of the sink hole. Some residents are unconvinced. They keep putting dirt in it. The dirt will keep moving. Reporter the county contractor expects the cleanup to be done in ten days at a cost of about a million dollars. Manuel, thanks.
