Were not big fans of that man. Reporter but tempers flared when the daily mail recently published leaked cables from darroch to the British Government describing the Trump Administration as dysfunctional, unpredictable, clumsy and inept. Ambassadors routinely send home candid dispatches from their posting, but rarely do they become public. The president s tirade grew the ire of jeremy hunt, who is vying to be the next Prime Minister. Hunt vowed to deep darroch on. If i am elected Prime Minister, the ambassador in washington stays because its our decision. Reporter in november, the ambassador described his role to cbs news. Diplomacy is about protecting and taking forward British National interests and objectives. And thats what i think every diplomat working for every National Government around the world basically sees as his role. Reporter in an indirect attempt to smooth things over, britains trade minister paid a visit today to white house Senior Adviser ivanka trump. Meanwhile, those close to the British Ambassador says while he regrets his dispatches were released into public view, he doesnt regard them as any more harsh than those sent home by other allies.

For some of you, the news continues. For others, check back with us a little later for the morning news, and of course cbs this morning. From the Broadcast Center in new york, im jim axelrod. This is the cbs overnight news. Welcome to the overnight news. Im don dahler. There is a growing chorus calling for the head of transportation secretary alex acosta in the wake of the latest charges against disgraced financier and accused sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein. Acosta was a federal prosecutor in south florida a decade ago when similar charges against epstein were essentially swept under the rug. Epstein faced a possible life sentence charged with abusing dozens of underaged girls, but in a plea deal with acostas office, he spent just 13 months in a legal jail and was allowed to leave for work six days a week. Another part of the acosta agreement allowed socalled coconspirators to walk free. The fallout from the case is landing on the white house. Paula reid has more. Reporter President Trump once considered Jeffrey Epstein a friend, but today he distanced himself from the convicted sex offender. I was not a fan of his. Reporter but mr. Trump told new York Magazine in 2002 that epstein was a terrific guy and shared his interest in beautiful women, though he noted epsteins preference for those on the younger side. But now mr. Trump says the two havent spoken in years. Do you still think Jeffrey Epstein is a terrific guy . I had a falling out with him a long time ago. I dont think ive spoken to him for 15 years. Reporter on monday, federal prosecutors unsealed new charges of sex trafficking against epstein, who has long been accused of preying on young girls at his homes in new york city and palm beach. According to prosecutors, victims were initially recruited to provide massages to epstein, which would be performed nude or partially nude, and typically include one or more sex acts. A search of his 77 million town house turned up hundreds and perhaps thousands of photos of underaged girls. Epstein also faced sex trafficking charges in 2007. The federal prosecutors in miami made a secret deal that gave him a prison sentence of just 13 months and immunity from federal charges. That was arranged by President Trumps labor secretary zander acosta, who was the u. S. Attorney at the time. A federal judge later ruled that arrangement violated victims rights because they werent told about the deal. Today acosta defended his decision on twitter, writing federal prosecutors insisted that epstein go to jail and register as a sex offender. The president said he felt badly for acosta. I can tellyou that for two and a half years, he has been just an excellent secretary of labor. Reporter but the calls for acostas resignation are mounting. It is now impossible for anyone to have confidence in secretary acostas ability to lead the department of labor. Reporter House Speaker nancy pelosi tweeted secretary acosta must step down. But Senate Majority leader Mitch Mcconnell says hes deferring to the president. He serves at the pleasure of the president. Reporter President Trump signaled today hes standing by acosta. The president suggested that 12, 15 years after the fact, he believes many lawyers and judges will wish they had handled things differently. And its that understanding that suggests acostas cabinet position is safe for now. A federal Appeals Court ruled that President Trump cannot block people from his twitter account just because they criticize or make fun of him. Meanwhile, the president s latest tweet storm was directed at british Prime Minister theresa may and the uk ambassador who blasted him in secret cables that were recently leaked. Major garrett has that. Reporter the state Department Said today it had not cut ties with British Ambassador to the United States kim darroch or received orders to do so. We have an incredibly special and strategic relationship with the United Kingdom. That has gone on for quite a long time. Reporter that special relationship with the United Kingdom was on display in early june when President Trump visited london and shook the ambassadors hand. But on twitter today, the president called darroch a wacky and very stupid guy whom he will no longer deal with. The ambassador has not served the uk well. I can tell you that. Were not big fans of that man. Reporter but tempers flared when the daily mail recently published leaked cables from darroch to the British Government describing the Trump Administration as dysfunctional, unpredictable, clumsy and inept. Ambassadors routinely send home candid dispatches from their postings, but rarely do they become public. The president s tirade grew the the ire of u. N. Foreign secretary jeremy hunt, who is vying to be the next Prime Minister. Hunt vowed to deep darroch on. If i am elected Prime Minister, the ambassador in washington stays because its our decision.

S. Allies. When a worker for the Democratic National committee named seth rich was murdered outside his home three years ago, conspiracy theories flooded the internet. Most claim he was killed to cover up the theft of dnc emails. Now it turns out those conspiracies were cooked up in moscow. Ed okeefe reports. Reporter cbs news has confirmed a Russian Disinformation Campaign helped push a bogus theory that Hillary Clintons president ial campaign had paid to murder a are Democratic National committee staff. Police believe the victim, 27yearold seth rich was killed after an attempted robbery three years ago in washington. Details of russias involvement are outlined in a new report by Michael Isikoff of yahoo news who spent a year investigating. We found that russian trolls in st. Petersburg tweeted and retweeted about seth rich more than 2,000 times. Reporter the story resonated with conservative commentators and Russian Media outlets. A brandnew bombshell in the murder dnc staffer seth rich in the middle of the night, and police have no leads. Reporter and it also found its way to the white house. Steve bannon, a former adviser to President Trump in march 2017 texted a 60 minutes producer about the rich case, calling it a huge story and claiming that it was a contract kill, obviously. The 60 minutes producer confirmed receiving the texts, but 60 minutes never pursued the story. The theory has been debunked by local police and the fbi. It shows just how easy it is to manipulate news in this new era of social media. Reporter so we should expect to see attempts to do this again during the 2020 campaign . Anybody that wants to manipulate American Public opinion, planting phony stories on social media is the way to do it. Reporter whoever killed seth rich remains at large. His is one of more than 200 unsolved murders here in washington in the three years since he was killed. The cbs overnight news will be right back.

New york also has the biggest fleet of police vehicles, 10,000. And within the next five years, theyll all be going green, either electric or hybrid. Kris van cleave got behind the wheel of one of the new cruisers. Reporter it sure sounds like your typical police car, and it drives like one too. But this ford fusionbased Police Responder sedan could be a gamechanger. Its the first true hybrid built specifically to be a police car. Ford estimates it will save more than 1500 gallons of fuel per car, per year. Nypd Deputy Commissioner robert martinez. Were hoping to phase out and have a purely vehicle. Reporter over the next five years that will cut emissions and reduce fuel costs. Right now the nypd spends about 15 million a year on gas for its 10,000 vehicles. Hold on. Thanks. Glad to help. Reporter helping us is longtime nypd driving instructor detective paul cassiopeia, whipping around the training track in brooklyn, he showed us what this hybrid can do. You guys drive a car a little harder than your average driver. Absolutely. This is not going to be the standard car that mom and dad would pick up for a grocery dinn dinner. Reporter mom and dad dont drive like this to the Grocery Store . I sure hope not. Reporter turning the black and white, or in new york city the blue and white green has taken a decade. The nypd started testing retrofitted civilian hybrids in 2009. They improved fuel economy by twothirds over a gaspowered cruiser. Was that even on fords radar, that people would want a hybrid police car . No. That was something that kind of me thinking outside the box. Reporter so out of the box, no automaker was even thinking about it until martinez pushed for it. How long did it take you to sell ford on building you a hybrid police car . It probably took two to three years before i really thought they took us serious. Well, all of our best learning comes from customers, right . Reporter steven tyler is the Marketing Manager for fords police business. He says the just introduced interceptor suv is faster and more fuel efficient than the gaspowered model it replaced. The engine is shutting off for fewer times. Its going to give fewer oil changes. Fewer trips to the pump with the officers. Reporter the bulk of its fuel savings come during the five hours ford estimates a police car spends idling during a typical eighthour shift. The electric motor on the hybrid allows the gas engine to turn off, saving more than 900 gallons a year per cruiser. Reporter r theyre about 30 more than the gaspowered option. The taxpayer is going to hear that and go is that the best use of the money, to spend more on the vehicles than you could otherwise get them for . Right. So you spend more upfront, but just with fuel savings alone, youll absorb that additional payout. Reporter a new feature on the new hybrid series a perimeter alert. As i get close to the vehicle from behind, the windows go up, the car automatically locks the doors and will alert the officer someone is coming. The nypd will get its first hybrid suvs this fall, and plans to buy hundreds of the hybrid responder sedan. Well take it slow. Reporter officer marcos rudan is one of the first nypd officers to drive the new suv. Were cops skeptical a hybrid could do everything you needed it to do . When you hear hybrid, you think prius. But this is not the case with this car. Reporter it definitely doesnt drive like a prius. I was skeptical at first too until i actually got my hands on it, and i was blown away. Reporter but would he be blown away with how i drove a police car . Now i dont have an instructor brake. Reporter well, that sounds like a you problem. So if i say brake, i mean brake. Reporter it is fast for an suv, corners very well. A cone ther reporter and yes, the brakes work. Even if i didnt always use them flawlessly. I think most of the cones are still standing. Its a pass. Reporter i passed kris van cleave, brooklyn. A crash that killed 20 people in new york city state last year has raised new questions over the safety of stretch limousines. Unlike buses and other large vehicle, federal regulators have limited oversight of limos. Those laws are left up to states and cities. Some in Congress Want that to change. Anna werner reports. Reporter most stretch limousines begin their lives as regular sedans and suvs. Theyre then cut in half and extended to fit more passengers. But because theyre custombuilt, they arent required to undergo crash testing or meet the same federal Safety Standards as other vehicles. And some families have learned just how dangerous crashes involving those limousines can be. Will you tell me about your picture . I was told it was the very last picture ever taken. Yeah. Reporter that last picture of eight young women together heading out for a Birthday Celebration one summer day in 2015. It was supposed to be a fun day of wine tasting on long island. But their stretch limousine was hit broadside by a truck after the driver of the limo made a uturn. And the ending to this day is just its worse than a horror movie. Reporter Nancy Demonte theys 20yearold daughter joelle seaned serious injuries, as did three other passengers. The other four women were killed, including paul schulmans 23yearold daughter brittany. Its been nothing but hell since. People say time heals wounds. How do you go around life and people think things get better when you lose a piece of you that you never get back . Reporter just two years later, in 2018 came the limousine accident in schoharie, new york, that claimed 20 lives. Its not just one state. Limousine Safety Standards vary widely across the country. Injuries going to happen. Reporter if its not built right . If its not built right. Reporter dave lipsey inspects stretch limousines for the new York Department of transportation. He says lacking tighter regulations, Custom Builders sometimes cut corners, prioritizing luxury over safety. So what they would do is put a beautiful bar in there, beautiful seating and all the amenities to have the niceness and put the weakness in infrastructure. Reporter so in other words, theyre adding the luxury features, but then in some cases theyre skimping on the safety measures. Correct. Reporter for example, he showed us this crash bar installed in a stretch limo brought into his shop for inspection. See that little thing there . Reporter this round tube, right here. Yeah. You hear how hollow it is . So nice and tinny. Reporter its supposed to protect passengers in the event of a crash, but you see how i can bend this with my hand. Reporter yeah. I literally can take this. I can move it. Reporter so a car hitting the side of that, thats not going to be any resistance at all. There is no resistance there. The time is to get with the problem and solve it. Reporter Senate Minority leader Chuck Schumer is now calling on the National Transportation safety board to put more emphasis on major safety reforms nationwide. What is not happening now that needs to happen . They havent made it a priority. Limos fall between the cracks. You can make a limo in one state and it drives in another state, and there is nothing that that second state can do about it. The safety of the limo is no different in montana, texas, florida, or new york. So there should be one standard. Reporter in a statement to cbs news, the ntsb said it shares senator schumers concerns and has made safety recommendations for limos this year, directing passengers to year, directing passengers to use seat sun care is self care. I used to not love wearing an spf just because i felt like it was so oily and greasy and that it was going to clog my pores.

Its perfect for me. Im busy philipps, and im fearless to face anything. The 2020 summer olympics will be held in tokyo. We already know the womens soccer team is going for the gold, but what about some of the lesser known sports like equestrian show jumping . Youre going to hear a lot more about that because a daughter of rock n roll royalty is trying to make the team. Her name is Jessica Springsteen. Nikki battiste met her at the stables and came back with the story. Reporter well, jessica is an amazing top rider, and this is a sport not for anyone with a fear of speed and height. Equestrian show jumping joins both athleticism and strategy. Right now Jessica Springsteen is ranked fifth in the nation while training and competing year round. So this is your office . This is my office. Not a bad place to work every day. Reporter she may be the daughter of the boss Jessica Springsteen, everyone. Hello reporter but Jessica Springsteen was born to ride. Jess springsteen go into the lead. Reporter equestrian show jumping over 13 jumps as high as six feet and as wide as seven. Heading towards home. Reporter each course is designed with challenges like tight turns, triple jump combinations, water obstacles, and a time limit, which is usually under 90 seconds. Now we have our young superstar jessie springsteen. Reporter a clean round paired with the fastest time earns the win, and usually means a trophy and tens of thousands of dollars in prize money. Youre ranked fifth in the u. S. Right now. You have a really good chance at making the 2020 olympic team. How hopeful are you . I dont know. Its going to be really tough. But one day i think ill be there. Reporter Equestrian Events in the Olympic Games are one of the only in which men and women compete against one another. I think its great. You see a lot of the top riders are women and men. Its so equal. And its amazing, and its always such a surprise to people. This is my happy place. Reporter here at Rushy Marsh Farm you want a carrot . Reporter springsteen trains on six horses a day to help prep for year round competition. To win in this sport, a horse and rider need to be in perfect harmony. She is as much a celebrity in this world as her rock star parents, cheering their daughter on from the stands. In the publics eye, how have you been able to go from Bruce Springsteens daughter to Jessica Springsteen, champion rider, olympic hopeful . Growing up in new jersey, everyone was so used to seeing my parents everywhere and going to school there, especially with riding when i was so young, i didnt even realize what was going on, i think. And as ive gotten older, its so normal now. Reporter jessica says her mom, pattys love for riding inspired hers. The one question everyone has is how do you make a horse jump . I know. You have to be at the right balance, the right side of the fence, and the right distance so that theyre able to clear it and kind of make their best jump. But each horse needs something a little bit different to make them jump. Reporter jumping your way to the top of this sport is as mental as it is physical. Youre just focused on what youre doing, what the horse is feeling, and youre really just in sync and kind of in the zone. Reporter are you ever scared . As ive gotten older you get more nervous. Youre more aware of what can happen to you. You see your friends have some bad falls. But you have to be confident. You to be comfortable. Reporter i think so much of the sport, from my years of riding, is trust. Trust. Trust and competennfidence. If you think you can do it, youre probably going to do it.

Researchers say about 18 billion pounds of plastic ends up in the oceans every year. Scott tweetie of network 10 in australia has the story of one company trying to make a difference. Reporter this is the world famous bondi beach, and this is some of the pollution thats washed up on its shores. From rising sea levels to coral bleaching, this is just one of the many factors that threatens our diverse marine life here in australia. However, there are a group of people hard at work trying to find a viable solution to our worlds ocean problems.

One sea bin is capable of catching the equivalent of 90,000 shopping bags, or or nearly 170,000 plastic utensils over the course of a year. There are more than 700 sea bins working in harbors and marinas around the world. The company is deploying an additional 60 sea bins in the u. S. This week on top of the six currently cleaning the waters around california. Will a sea bin save our oceans . Look, they wont save the oceans. The only way to save the ocean is through behavior and cultural change, but theyre a positive impact and it can make a small difference in the grand scheme of things. Reporter and theyre not the only ones working to clean the ocean. There are other ambitious efforts, including a plan that is currently on hold to use a 2,000foot boom to help collect a massive area of fating trash known as the Great Pacific garbage patch. Marine biologist vanessa perrotta says Marine Wildlife are consuming plastics at alarming rates. For example, were seeing turtles and dolphins with plastics inside their stomachs which is likely a contributing cause to way they may have died. Reporter plastics have even been detected in remote places like antarctica. Do awareness around protecting our ocean, not only within aua, but hopefully around the world, were working towards ways to protect our marine environment. Reporter some areas around the world are starting to take action against singleuse plastics, like banning plastic straws, bags, and utensils that litter our oceans and our beaches. Researchers here hope that adventures like sea bins and changing attitudes towards plastics make this beach and beaches around the world cleaner. And t ts our overnight this wednesday.
