We hear from MedStar Health pediatric infectious disease specialist Dr. Ruth Kanthula. In Texas, hospitals are overwhelmed; more than 90-percent of ICU beds are full. This as coronavirus cases surge across the country -- partly due to the Delta Variant and unvaccinated people. CBS's Janet Shamlian reports. The U-N's climate panel came out with a devastating report this week, as heat waves scorch the globe.

The number of caucasians is down 61.6 percent -- from 75 percent a decade ago. CBS's Ed O'Keefe reports on what this means. In Chicago, there was a rally to support police Officer Ella French, who was murdered on duty. This comes amid a stark divide between city leaders, police, and communities of color. Reporter Dana Koslov has more.
