CABRERA: The Environmental Protection Agency is reversing itself and handing a setback to a controversial gold mining proposal in Alaska. Last year, the EPA proposed suspending environmental protections in the Bristol Bay watershed, paving the way for a massive mine to be built there. But after a CNN investigation showed the EPA decision followed a meeting between EPA head, Scott Pruitt, and the mining company's CEO, there was a wave of criticism. And now, the EPA is doing an about-face. Yet the mining company says its application for a permit is still on track while the EPA gathers more information. That does it for me. Thank you for watching. I'll be back tomorrow at 5:00 p.m. Eastern. "</s>ANTHONY BOURDAIN: SHANGHAI" is next. Good night.
