resources, a lot of equipment, a lot of food, a lot of shelter. >> wow. richard, we're also hearing that another to have is on the way. i would imagine disease is going to be an issue, as well. what are your thoughts about that? >> well, it's going to enter our area of responsibility tomorrow. we hope that it will be a fast one, like the last one. i just hope that the rains don't linger because if the ground is saturated, then you have another problem with flies, floods, and it's going to hit the same area. >> what does the world need to know? people watching thousands of miles away, what do you want them to know? what could somebody possibly did to help? >> well, i think as we say in latin -- [ speaking latin ] >> the scene speaks for itself. you see the dramatic, horrible images of disaster, deprivation. >> richard gordon from the philippine red cross. we thank him for that interview. staggering, staggering picture of tragedy there. and the need is so basic now,

the other problems start to arise. these people -- the ground's already swollen and saturated. these people are already living in the streets. now you've got rain on top of that. just going to make for an even more devastating situation. >> no doubt. stay with us as we cover relief efforts on this historic typhoon. look for updates on "america this morning" and "good morning america." secretary of state kerry is expected to brief lawmakers on capitol hill this week on the failed iran nuclear talks. kerry and the iranian president insist the talks are still a work in progress, but senators are predicting there will be a renewed push for even more sanctions against iran. a worker mauled to death by a cougar at an image sanctuary in oregon is said to have been a dedicated with years of experience with the animals. it's believed he was alone in the enclosure at the time of the attack saturday night, even though safety rules call for two staffers to be present. as they try to figure out what went wrong, staffers say the risks should not be underestimated.

while i was on a combat patrol my c in baqubah, iraq,nned out. a rocket-propelled grenade took my arm off at the shoulder. when i came home, i felt alone. my family was around me, but i couldn't talk to them about what i'd seen and what i'd done. i remember just thinking, man, the way i am right now, i don't want to live. i was discharged from the army, and i've been working with the wounded warrior project since 2007. warriors don't have to be severely wounded to be with the wounded warrior project. we do have a lot of guys that have post-traumatic stress disorder. being able to share your story, i guess it kind of helps you wrap your mind around what did happen over there. just because you've left the military doesn't mean your life is over, because when these guys are coming home, i'm kind of leading and training them, instead of for combat, i'm leading and training them to heal. and if i come away with anything from the wounded warrior project, it's them giving my life back. my name is norbie, and yes, i do suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder, but i'm okay.
