  • A nasty controversy is brewing in Olympic waters with one month until the Paris opening ceremony. Les Carpenter, Olympics reporter for The Washington Post, joins CBS News to explain why the city's iconic Seine River is still falling short of the requirements needed before athletes dive in.

    When there is a big rainstorm in New York City the same thing happens. Rainwater runoff and street garbage mixes with sewage and flows into the ocean. Doesn’t just happen in Europe.

    Glad they're getting attention. They've taken the real natural river out of that body of water. Its concrete and run off. Rivers need to flow naturally with trees and wild life for it to be able to manage itself and stay clean. Rivers need to be cleaner. People can manage waste better. I wouldn't swim in that either.

      No matter what you do.
      A river going through the middle of a city will never be clean!
      Rats and vermins walking by the hedge of the river, water from streets, when raining will inevitably leak down to the river, no matter what you build to collect water, there's always spillage over.
