Last week, when Paramount, the parent company of CBS News, announced a $16 million settlement with President Trump over editing of a segment of “60 Minutes,” many of the network’s journalists were furious. The deal also raised questions about the independence of CBS’s journalism, and how much news organizations could be cowed by threats from the president going forward. David Enrich, an investigations editor at The Times, takes us inside the settlement, and Lowell Bergman, a former CBS producer and investigative journalist at The Times, reminds us that the network has been in a similar situation before and discusses why this time may be different. First, Edgar Sandoval, who is on the ground in Texas, explains what is happening in the wake of the flooding.

  • I'm Austin Mitchell, and for the past couple years,

  • my colleague Azeem Qureshi and I have been reporting on the story of medical care for transgender kids.

  • Where it came from, the lives it changed, how it became a protocol that spread around the world,

  • and how the politics and a Supreme Court legal fight now threaten its existence.

  • You can hear that story on The Protocol, a new six-part series from The New York Times.

  • Listen wherever you get your podcasts.

  • Hey everybody, it's Rachel.

  • Before we begin today's show, we wanted to bring you the latest from Central Texas.

  • In Texas tonight, a catastrophic flood emergency.

  • Months worth of torrential rain fell in just a few hours in Kerr County.

  • Where flash flooding has killed at least 80 people as of Sunday afternoon.

  • Dozens are still missing.

  • The desperate search for the missing after deadly flash floods in Texas has become a race against time.

  • Among those missing, a number of youth camps dot the area,

  • including Camp Mystic, are 10 girls from a summer camp along the Guadalupe River.

  • We will remain 100% dedicated,

  • searching for every single one of the children who were at Camp Mystic,

  • as well as anybody else at the entire riverbed, to make sure that they're going to be recovered.

  • I called our colleague Edgar Sandoval,

  • who's on the ground there, to help us understand what happened.
