and good morning from alaska. we're taking you to the last frontier, from the majestic wilderness to training for the world-famous iditarod. rugged and remote. we're up close with musk ox babies and the newest little mushers. "gma" is live from alaska this morning. >>> good morning to all. thank you for joining us on this monday morning. we cannot wait to take you to magnificent alaska. >> we're looking forward to that. >>> we'll start with the severe weather, tropical storm clawedette is on the move. that's a live look at the outer banks, where there's a tropical storm warning this morning. >> another live look. i'll show you what happened after claudette left a path of destruction in the south, a live look at the damage in alabama. an ef-2 tornado damaged dozens of homes there. >> and that is not the only pace getting hit. tornadoes also slamming the midwest overnight. one even touching down in suburban chicago. we've got the latest on it all. ginger is tracking the severe weather. she starts us off. good mornin

that cost us billions here in alaska. >> there's a lot of oil in alaska. this is a administration that wants to wean the country off of fossil fuels and this is a big step towards that. >> neil: thanks, peter. now to mike dunleavy. he was enraged by this. he wanted to talk about it. he's taken the time to do so. governor, very good to have you. obviously not in this case under happy circumstances. what do you make of the president's move? >> no surprise. its illogical, irrational. doesn't make sense. the whole idea that you're going to stop climate change by shutting down leases in the arctic in alaska will push this opportunity overseas. that's what this administration is all about. cancelling opportunity, cancelling oil leases in the arctic, cancelling offshore oil leases. it will drive the cost up. oil is $70 a barrel now and push the opportunities overseas and push them in places that they'll not have the protections that we have. no matter how we look at it, it's a lose, lose, lose across the board not just for alaska and this country and environmenta

anthony, in a cloudy alaska, thank you for. in a cloudy alaska, thank you for joining us. tourism increasingly popular, of course, but it was hit ljy popular, of course, but it was hit by the pandemic. i am old enough, i am afraid, to remember this was an issue with george bush, barack 0bama, donald trump and ontojoe biden. let's see if it gets resolved once and for all. it's becoming increasingly clear that true toll of the pandemic stretches beyond the awful number of deaths. a hospital system in colorado has declared a mental health emergency for children. the children s hospital says its seen an extraordinary spike in the number of children needing psycyiatric help and even attempting suicide. demand for its psychiatric inpatient services for young people increased by 72% during the pandemic. children report feeling enormous stress. now the hospital s behavioral unit says they don t even have enough beds to keep up with the pace of demand. dr david brumbaugh, the chief medical officer of children s hospital colorado, joins us now. can you just give us an illustration a

they are working with the alaska division of forestry. but making sure that we are doing all we can to help facilitate robust tree removal and fuel brakes. implementing the community wildfire protection plans in these beetle impacted communities. again, this is a big issue in so many different areas. this is not just of interest to me but to so many other colleagues. >> it is, senator, and i will just say that we are working very closely with the state of alaska and we put it through our state and private forestry extra dollars into the effort there in the southeast because it's all of the components, preparedness and the corralling of the spruce worm is at. and our science is playing a critical roll in helping with pheromones that attract the beetle to one place for more treatment and there's a lot going on and a lot of good neighbor agreements as well so we are working across boundaries there. >> you mentioned southeast. i think that we have this beetle there. >> i misspoke. thank you for correcting me. it is not. >> thank you. >> thank

chairman and distinguish senator from alaska, is the salary situation. let me put it right on the table. we have 19 million acres under federal jurisdiction, state pay is $70000. that is what cal fire pays to estate firefighter. united states forest service pays $48000. that is the differential, that is the problem. in the lesson fire is just tremendous. i think that we have to move some way annabelle to make that change. i would like to turn asked the question of the leader of the department chief, do you believe this inequity and pay makes a big difference in california which has 19 million acres of federal fire land. >> thank you senator and good morning. thank you so much for the question and for iconology what is a real gap in a competitive pay is very acute in california we have competitive pay issues when those are compared to state and local and even the private sector. you name it, the average for u.s. forest service firefighter is $38000 a year. the state and local and private entities can range from 70000 - $80000 a year. in the benefits are b

we visit oil-rich communities in california's san joaquin valley and along alaska's arctic slope, where residents are asking tough questions about the consequences of fossil fuel extraction. it's been the bedrock of their economic livelihoods for decades but is now fracturing communities and threatening the planet.

forest management eagerly awaiting the release the funding of the forest service makes in oregon andf alaska and every state across the united states. thank you for joining us today. >> as a washington state 26 years in the state department of natural resources you are well-versed in the ecosystems of climate chaos they are integral to the identify the my home state of oregon in the inbackbone of the for service and is dedicated professionals making up the ranks of all fire series is onees of the most destructive in history fires devastated the towns of detroit phoenix and i will never forget visiting those towns to see the incinerated remains the fires burn more than a million acres taking the lives of 11 going found the northern barrett boundary and was never out of the smoke of the fires it's clear from the science to play a significant role in the climate crisis many to help to improve forestri management practices and in those small towns in the natural resource and recreation economy. one tool i have long supported is to collaborate landscape restoration program and then to reduce the

holly martinson, ph.d., from the university of alaska anchorage to make a database for alaska natives suffering from cancer. it was his introduction to the world of research, and he fell in love with it. he entered ansep. mr. president, let me talk to you a little bit about ansep. it's a program that attracts young alaska native students from all over alaska and provides extraordinary educational opportunities for them in science, in the stem fields. and ansep students have been enormously successful and have gone on to do incredible, incredible things. i can't say enough about this tremendous program. so eventually, michael was introduced to another mentor, dr. brandon briggs, a professor of by logical sciences -- of biological sciences and director of advanced instrumentation biostudies program. it was his work at dr. briggs' lab that led him to his current passion, finding better, more environmentally friendly ways to extract much-needed, even critical, materials from the earth. mr. president, increasingly both here in congress and across the country, we have been focusing on metal

they moved to alaska -- they moved to alaska when lydia was nine years old. richard came to the state in 1992, fresh out of college. and like so many, they fell in love with the state and stayed. they raised their daughter, as i mentioned, in the town of seward, alaska. a little under 3,000 people there, just hours south of anchorage, nestled between resurrection bay and soaring mountains. its motto is alaska starts here. i love seward alaska, going to get there as much as i can. it's known for stunning landscapes, a strong, generous community, amazing people. if you're visiting alaska, you've got to go to seward. so leslie and richard sign lydia up for swim classes when she was just a toddler. she joined the swim club when she was six years old. when she was ten, she was selected for the alaska swim zone team. state qualifying meets allowed her to go on trips. in between all this, she was a musician, learning to play the guitar. she played at folk festivals. she was also in theater and in track, all-around great athlete, all-around great young woman. as she

we soon start to understand what it is that whales are talking about the the coastal waters between alaska in the us and canada and vancouver island are where a group of killer whales or orchids, spend their summers a team of scientists from the deep our research expedition our preparing to embark deep our stands for deep learning applied to animal linguistics. i was a computer scientist, m a news from germany's university of atlanta and has spent years working on automatic recognition for human speech patterns. can the same methods be adapted to animal languages? underwater microphones, embedded in tubes, serve at the expedition, ears for 3 summers. teams of computer scientists and biologists have set out to record org calls and document whale behavior. rachel cheng from the life nets institute for zoo and wildlife research in berlin is looking for patterns between behavior and animal vocalizations that could help to decipher whale language. i assume they would have a very different system which fits into our language. around $300.00 or cars are identified as northern residence, as they s

right now alaska has seen some of the fastest coastal iraq in the world. we lost about 35 feet 35 feet of ground in just about 3 months while we were measuring it is bad and that means the river is $35.00 pounds. then learning was year before i think we're part of america. there's for me or america for worse the be is really opposition, leader tells the president he conform coalition government. it could feed, but that yahoo placed as prime minister for the 1st time in 12 years. also ahead to the governor of the u. s. and state of texas land, joe biden, for what he says are reckless open boarded policies. soaring numbers of illegal migrants, the states frontier with mexico. the st. petersburg international economic form hasn't kicked off its 1st large scale business events to take place across the world. since the outbreak of the pandemic re events, moto is short, but it makes it absolutely clear what the forms all about together. again, economy of the new reality.

you know, one of the questions i get asked all the time, is it why the marines moving in alaska native village? well, how come you guys use it? what you guys do now is that you can't buy anything better to do. the truth of the matter is that the marine corps has no business in relocating an alaska native village. that's not what we do. but what we do definitely do is train our brains and sailors and the other service personnel involved in expeditionary engineering projects. and to do something so far away from home, if you will, up in the remote alaskan tundra in a difficult place to get to buy by boat, by air, every kind of way. this is exactly the type of challenge that offers us a training opportunity. i think it's a good thing for the region. it's a good thing for course new talk and the residence to really see the start of this and obviously is going to take a while. it's not happening fast enough for some, but, you know, to have all the assets. so united states government are involved in this project was pretty amazing. and i'm glad it to me. someone said that might be 3 to 5 yea

alaska has a great interest in cruising and the governor of alaska joins us. can you tell us the state of cruising in alaska. have you started yet? >> we are looking forward to having our first ship here in early july. we are getting back to cruising. it has been a long time since the cruise came to alaska. it is a big part of the tourism industry in alaska so we are looking forward to it. stuart: can you open up to cruises and let anybody get on board? does vaccination status matter? social distancing, any of that? >> our understanding is the cruise lines require vaccination of passenger and crew. i am not sure what the masking regulations will be but in terms of the state of alaska we vaccinated north of 50% of our folks. we are pretty safe state. once these folks get here they will have a welcoming committee on the part of alaskans welcoming them back to the state of alaska. i am not sure what the restrictions will be but they are working that out. stuart: you took a hit because of the suspension of cruising from alaska. have you also taken a hit from the c

alaska is not the only area targeted for drilling. norway has its eye on oil beneath the sea, so does russia. so much of the region is being opened up. the oil and gas companies say they can keep their operations safe, that they've got technology to minimize the disruption, and especially the risk of spills. but for many indigenous people, it's all too hazardous. they fear their traditional way of life will be undermined if the wildlife they depend on is killed or driven away. but change is coming to the arc tick. the first cruiseships have made their way through the melting ice. the question is, with so much pressure for all kinds of development, how long this fragile region can remain unscathe anchor: before we go, we have amazing pictures to show you because why not? a bit of fire and water. first the heat, take a look at this amazing bird's eye view from a drone of an erupting volcano in iceland. the american youtuber sent the drone up. but unfortunately the volcanic gases and the heat caused its flight to become unstable. and it

a road from canada up into alaska is truly remarkable. so here are artifacts from that time period, you know for arctic cap, obviously in canon and alaska extremely cold temperatures, very warm temperatures as well and they suffered with mosquitoes. so here's a mosquito net that they use to protect themselves and boots the keep the keep soldiers warm, but it was just amazing, you know 1500 miles. to build this road because there was a fear during world war ii of an attack coming through alaska into the united states or through canada into the united states. so they want the army. wanted to be ready to ensure a route of supplies and troops can can be used during this road so you can see this map and you can see the the amount of effort that was put in from dawson creek canada essentially to almost close to fairbanks, alaska. you know another aspect of sort of the army and society that relationship and how the army in sort of. influence pop culture and you'll see the artifacts in this case comic books action figures and books. we even have

out in alaska, the worst thing the president can be doing right now. the ppp loans for my industry, i have four restaurants on the jersey shore. we lost one.2 to $1.3 million of revenue last year and the ppp loans helped us keep our lights on it helped me keep my employees, more importantly it really gave us a sense of hope that we would get through this pandemic which it did. i was able to secure two rounds of funding for both rounds of ppp and it really helped us keep going and keep focused and even though there was a lot of debt we didn't shudder. we are still open at all of our locations and it really helped us get through it. >> you lost over $1.2 million in revenue over the last 14 months. how long is it going to take for you to recoup all those losses? >> it could be years. we were lucky. we figured out some creative ways to keep afloat on top of the ppp loans but other industries were not able to do that. stopping it now is the last thing the president should do. small business america is going to be in trouble for many years to come. this is d

we don't have a medical school in alaska unfortunately. but we did have legislation a couple of years ago that had v.a. residency programs with the alaska native health care organizations. it was very popular. another good example of flexibility. shane, anyone else have views on the first question i asked? >> absolutely. thank you, senator. evidence shows, and what we know, is veterans do better with v.a. health care. they thrive. they have better preventative maintenance and long-term going to do better. if we can find ways to provide that with these partnerships and with other facilities and organizations, it is going to benefit veterans in the long run. it is hard to believe there isn't a full hospital there but providing that access is extremely important. i come from a rural part of the country as well, nebraska, and the nearest v.a. facility was over three hours from where i was. the have increased in those areas but to the point where you cannot have access to health care we need to find the flexibility. we know they do better with

me, an entire village in alaska has had to move. if another country threaten to wipe out an american, we do everything in our part a project in what they escaping climate change poses the same threat right now alaska has seen some of the fastest coastal erosion in the world. we lost about 35 feet 35 feet of ground in just about 3 months while we were measuring it is fast and that means the river is $35.00 pounds. then learning was year before, i think we're part of america, the 3rd from or america for the israeli opposition leader tell the president and he can form a coalition government. it could be been, netanyahu replace as prime minister for the 1st time and 12 years also had the governor of the state of texas lambs, joe biden. what he says are reckless open water policies, that sort numbers of illegal migrants flood the states frontier with mexico. we st. petersburg international economic form has kicked off the 1st large scale business event to take place across the world since the outbreak of the pendulum and those are headli

the expedition coverson area from vancouver island to the southern tip of alaska eagles indicated where schools of salmon might be. and this is where orchids often hunt to the calls from the a plan can be heard on the underwater microphones. the team tries to determine the position of the whale, comes from the left that comes from the right. they compare the calls with a catalog compiled by john ford, but they encounter discrepancies. and it looks like the calls of class and 9 are used by different whale families from the calls from the same class should be almost identical. but these differ in length, melody and harmonics. human analysis so far has amounted to only a rough classification. looking at the specter grams, i'm very sure that we can, you know, achieve something that rivaled the human performance to well, families approach. what costs are they exchanging? just to record this after a hear the call back or to the from the researchers are interested in which group is calling, which one answers and which sounds they're using. ah, ah, ah. so look here the i for is, i'm pushing the

as they spend each summer along the coast of alaska and northern british columbia. they live in small family groups and are very communicative to different families use different dialects. and is it possible to discern the meaning of individual calls? here the researchers lower the highly sensitive microphones into the water. the 8 hydrophone can record sounds up to a frequency of 100 killer hurt that's far higher pitched than what is audible to the human ear. thanks to the network of hydrophone and acoustic triangulation, the researchers will later be able to calculate the positions of the whales to avoid disturbing the whales with engine noise the research tri moran is equipped with an electric motor. while visibility is limited under water found waves are transmitted over considerable distances. that's why a communication system with loud call is clearly beneficial. they're very tied together and frequent and chain circling, body twisting, plot love, i colocation over there, socializing, like us to rob and frequent twisting and then jump to jump on to each other.

the the coastal waters between alaska in the us and canada, vancouver island, or where a group of killer whales, or orchids, spend their summers. a team of scientists from the deep l research expedition are preparing to embark deep al stands for deep learning applied to animal linguistics or computer scientist. m news from germany's university of atlanta and has spent years working on automatic recognition for human speech patterns. can the same methods be adapted to animal languages? the underwater microphones embedded in tubes serve as the expeditions, ears for 3 summers teams of computer scientists and biologists have set out to record. org calls and document whale behavior. rachel chang from the likeness institute for zoo and wildlife research in berlin is looking for patterns between behavior and animal vocalizations that could help to decipher whale language. i assume they would have a very different system which fits into our language. around $300.00 or cars are identified as northern residence, as they spend each summer along the coast of alaska and northern british columbia. the

i've also been to alaska and i have seen how the integration between the dod and the alaska healthcare system works together, so i think that there is an opportunity for improvement in those areas and expansion in those areas so there should be serious concerns, and hopefully this administration will look to do more in those efforts. >> thank you. let me go back, mr. lehrman, real quick on the exposure. you know my legislation with senator manchin you and i have been really strong supporters of and you referenced in yourme opening statement challenges with the current claims backlog what we are trying to do here as you know is get in front of this and not have an agent or range type of situation but also make sure the va is getting the science right and making sure thataf we can afford this so the is a balance. one issue a lot of people forget if you do massive amounts in this area, you start to crowd out people that are already in the system. but, can you kind of unpack a little bit more of the reference that you made in your opening statement on the claims backlog haand what you thin
