and they say it is virtually certain we'll see more hot temperature extremes and fewer cold ones and it's likely that heat waves will be more frequent and longer. they also predict arctic sea ice will continue to shrink and even if co 2 emissions are stopped today these impacts will persist for centuries, tamron. thank you very much. police in fort worth texas say a major tragedy was averted this week when a gunman's weapon wouldn't work. the man is trying to rob people at mcdonald's and pulled the trigger five times but the gun did not fire. he left. outside he fired again and the gun did go off. he went back inside, pulled the trigger but again it did not fire. that man is now in custody. unbelievable. >> well, some boston subway riders are credited for saving the life of a man that fell on to the tracks and it, too, was caught on tape. you can see the 33-year-old man walk right off the platform and

feels a little off. >> reporter: but what the tower is not still doing, leaning. >> really? >> reporter: at least not actively. in fact, after it's worst period in the 1990s when the beautiful tower was in severe danger of toppling and scientists used cables, soil extraction in a desperate bid to save it, the tower has actually been moving the other way. we went to find the top engineers up several more flights of stairs. >> so as we speak, the tower is ever so slowly straightening up? >> yes. yes. more on less two millimeters per year. >> reporter: in the last decade it gained nearly an inch and would you believe it moves every day. people don't budge it but the sun straightens it even more. >> sunny days, cloudy day, rainy day. >> totally awesome. >> reporter: even impressing these chicago honeymooners. >> it might be straighter by the

time you get to the bottom of it. >> i'll have to carry you. >> you guys aren't going to make out or anything are you. >> leaning or not you'd be happy with it? >> absolutely. it's a beautiful monument. >> i like the lean better. >> this is extremely slight but scientists think it will keep straightening for about the next 100 years and then stabilize for 200 years after that and then will probably start leaning again but don't worry, it will look just like this. >> there, yeah. >> all right. [ applause ] >> we were looking for it michelle. >> michelle. >> it looks like a green screen. >> it does. anybody else kind of sad about the leaning tower of pisa? the straight standing up tower of pisa doesn't have the strange. >> we'll be dead. >> i want it to lean. >> we're all dying so al, thanks for the happy thought. >> don't worry about that long range forecast. >> wow. >> wow.

[ male announcer ] enbrel may lower your ability to fight infections. serious, sometimes fatal, events including infections, tuberculosis, lymphoma, other cancers, nervous system and blood disorders, and allergic reactions have occurred. before starting enbrel, your doctor should test you for tuberculosis and discuss whether you've been to a region where certain fungal infections are common. you should not start enbrel if you have an infection like the flu. tell your doctor if you're prone to infections, have cuts or sores, have had hepatitis b, have been treated for heart failure, or if you have symptoms such as persistent fever, bruising, bleeding, or paleness.

i cannot believe that apple public relations is mad at me for tweeting about my ipad and how to get it fixed. steve jobs gave it to me. >> only one thing to do right now, and that's call martha. martha, are you there? >> hi. >> what's this all about? well, it's using twitter. it's actually all about twitter and what kind of responses tw twitter gets. it has been my favorite mode of communication with the world for a long time. when i dropped my ipad i was so mad at myself for breaking something that i cannot live without, i love my ipad? don't you all love your ipad? >> yes. >> i mean, i'm addicted. >> are you trying to get a free ipad? >> no, it was a gift from steve jobs and i have the little note that came with it because he knew i was an early adopter of all kinds of technology. so i was just making a joke,

will apple come and pick it up? >> they don't really do that? >> well, i was just joking. of course i know that. i've been in apple stores. but anyway, i was just joking and twitter is very, very interesting because there's people that love it when you joke and there's people that take you seriously and don't have a clue. so it's been going on and on and on and it's actually very fun. >> martha, you tweeted martha that apple public relations is mad at me. >> no, my staff -- oh, my staff was very upset with me because we have such a great relationship with apple and we were the first lifestyle magazine to do an apple app for the magazine and we have had a fantastic working relationship -- again, they're

like you -- they think i'm having a feud with apple. >> so everything is okay, martha. >> well, no, my ipad is broke. >> okay. >> and she would not mind a replacement. am i right? >> i think i need to get a replacement. >> all right. >> but when you break something like that it gets confusing because -- >> you don't know what to do. >> no, because all your information is in it. >> right. >> you got to back it up; all your movies. all your mail. >> everything is in the cloud now. >> get the cloud. whatever the cloud is. >> got to back that thing up, martha. >> we got to get martha an it person. >> all i can say is i love my ipad. i love my iphone. >> okay. >> martha, apple, peace out. >> martha, apple, love. as we mentioned today is photo bomb friday and carson you have been having a time. >> that's true. i have a couple and went out to

the plaza there. i have amazing photo bomb shots. there's me photo bombing. it's the idea of it. hey, what's going on. let's go through some we're sending to the orange room this morning. today's viewer cheryl sent us one. >> the baby. >> the baby photo bomb there. that's the cow getting in on the action. >> what is that? >> thank you for sending that one. >> and ann sent a family photo in with a little surprise in the background there. there's a bunch of them on the site. go and cruise through them. >> before the internet there was no name for what this was. >> and before the digital age you'd have to go to the kodak store and pick period your pictures and then you'd realize. >> yeah. >> remember film? >> remember cave drawings? remember those days? that was fantastic? >> okay. okay. >> all right. that is what is trending today.

coming up, we're going to check in with some of the babies that were born live on today and their parents. but first, the hot topic for new parents. we asked new moms if they would rather have an extra three months of paid leave, lose the baby weight instantly or get $10,000 for their child's college fund. more paid leave won, 44%. jenna bush-hager has been looking at these. good morning. >> good morning, guys, i just returned from maternity leave and research shows how important that time is for bonding but we found out very few, only 11% of american women have paid leave. like more than 2 million american women every year, i'm headed back to work after giving birth. grateful to have had the summer with my daughter mila. >> well, this morning we're happy to welcome back jenna bush-hager who is back from maternity leave. >> it is not complete until you're sitting on this couch. we missed you.

>> i missed you guys although have to say i really liked maternity leave. >> reporter: and kelly is returning to work as a cpa at ernst and young after giving birth to her daughter gail. >> i actually had the benefit of being off for four months. >> paid? >> paid leave for four months which is a phenomenal aspect of their maternity plan. >> reporter: kelly's employer also offering lackation consulting and career counseling. working mother magazine named her company one of the best for working moms. >> having those opportunities made my decision to go back to work easier. >> reporter: but kelly is one of the lucky ones. only 11% of all private industry workers have access to paid leave. the overwhelming number of companies in the u.s., about 84% don't offer paid maternity leave. like kayla who only 8 weeks after giving birth returned to work as a medical assistant.

>> i worked for the medical field and they do not offer us any maternity leave that is paid. if i had paid leave it would have given us a lot more time as a family together. >> reporter: this has lawmakers on capitol hill taking notice. >> tell me about your day? >> reporter: like this mother of two. >> i think our policies on a federal level have not kept up with our work force. we're stuck in the mad men era but most families had the husband go to work and the wife stay at home. that is not a reality for most american families today. >> reporter: under the federal medical leave act companies provide 12 weeks of unpaid family leave but that law only applies to companies with 50 or more employees. also employees must work full time and have been employed at the company for more than a year. the result, about 40% of workers fail to qualify. which is why, today, the senator is introducing new legislation

to guarantee paid leave. >> how does this law need to change? >> well, what the legislation does would allow parents and mom to have paid family medical leave right after the birth of an infant or the adoption of a baby. >> reporter: the united states is the only industrialized country without any government requirements for paid maternity leave putting it in the same category as some of the world's poorest including liberia. >> you know being a young mom, those early days and early weeks are so crucial and for families they really need that time. that time needs to be paid. >> reporter: time that new mother kelly doesn't take for granted. >> she is such a joy and she just changes our dynamic. now we're not just husband and wife, we're a family. >> you've had a great summer? >> absolutely. probably one for the record books. she is well aware that getting her legislation passed is going

to be a tough fight. many business groups fought paid maternity leave because of the cost. they say they can't afford it and it's bad for business. of course she says differently than any business that respects women will do better. jenna, we have a great panel here. not just you. we have jenna wolf and stephanie gosk here with five week old harper. good morning, harper, you're on tv. mara is here with nina who is 21 months old and peter alexander is here as a proud dad and a voir diava is here in spirit. jenna, i see you two days in a row now. >> two-day maximum and then i'm going back into the hibernation of maternity leave. >> stephanie, what's it like to come back to work? >> it's tricky because you feel a little guilty for the person that you leave back at home. we were together and managing a lot of work and then when you leave you worry that the person you've left has to deal with all

of that -- >> mara, did you have any regrets about coming back when you did. actually and i don't mean to sound ungrateful. i was very glad to have that time off and work for a company that gives you maternity leave but i found very hard. if i could take time off now and be at home i would be in heaven. but it was really isolating and breast feeding was hard so i ran back to work and i was happy to see my coworkers and to change out of pajamas and to just be back into my life. >> peter, our dad here, you got two weeks off and right back to the grind. >> i was blessed with the inability to nurse which makes that easier. so i took the first week off to be with the baby and then let the family be there for an extended period of time and as soon as the family was out i did the other week where i could help my wife in some way but i got hazed pretty quickly. there was a little poop on the shirt pretty fast into the whole

process. >> welcome home dad, right? >> jenna you have been back for about a week or so. have you been thinking about mila while you have been at work. sometimes you're here physically but not mentally. >> definitely. the hard thing about our job and this stage in our life is that we travel all the time. henry and i have had to look at our calendars and figure out logistics so that somebody is always home with her. >> good parenting tip. >> is that weird? >> we never left her. get that out there. but also, the other thing is we're learning how to be parents and my mom told me, you know, being a mom or a dad, the most important job you'll ever have is learning to be a parent. >> so mainly a mom. >> but being a parent is the most important job you'll ever have and we're learning this new job. >> i think mara you talked about this, you worry about what's going on at work, are you

missing something. jenna do you feel like that at all or are you totally con sumd. >> no, i need a gsp just to get here. i brought my i.d. just in case. there's always a sense that you're missing out on something. will work be there for you when you get back. i'm going through a little bit of that but i spoke to everyone else who says enjoy the time off. enjoy spending time with her and bonding with her. work will be there when you get back. do you hear that? work will be there when i get back. >> the dad, though, the same way some fear they maybe missing what's going on at work, i fear i'm missing what's going on at home and for the first time in my life i am racing to get home. i'm like let's see if we can finesse this. so home time is the best. >> this is wbal-tv 11 news today in baltimore. >> good morning.

well, autumn is in full spring bringing seasonal fall favorites back to our table. you need good wine to pair with them. i have been waiting all week for this segment. joe is here to walk us through a tasting. good morning. >> so people don't differentiate between seasons and wine but you think it's important to do that. >> like with food, wine is important. you start to feel a different way. the leaves change, your sensibility change and so are the wines you drink. >> we can still drink white. i like it. here's one we can do. >> so we start with one from central coast california from a friend of mine. it's an italian variety made in california. >> are you supposed to smell it? >> it's part of the process. sniff and taste.

this is good like very honey and this we made a salad. so a salad of grilled vegetables mixed with a traditional salad together. great white wine. very sweet. >> this goes down too easy. what about this one? >> chardonay. white burgandy. it's made all over the world. the wine is named after the place, not the grape but we know it's made of 100% chardonay. do you like? >> i might like this one better. >> it's more oakey. here we made grilled pork sausage but we made an apple chutny. tell me if you want to try some of this. >> sure.

then we go to italy. all of these wines are 15 to $20. rich, good acidity. this is going to be great with the short ribs. >> nice. >> was this a medium body's wine. >> this is, again, a town outside of verrona. most are named by the places they come from. it's counter american tradition. in europe the wines are named after the place. because the place is important. wine should taste of the place. >> okay. i keep forgetting to swirl and smell. i just go straight for the drinking. >> last we go to a french wine. they're a producer of the greatest red wines in the world. he makes this as a blended wine. and -- >> so fall wines, fall food.
