Jeffrey epstein wont get to stay in his multimilliondollar new york home as he awaits trial for sex trafficking and conspiracy. Mola lenghi on why the judge denied bail. Reporter calling him a threat to the public, judge Richard Berman ordered Jeffrey Epstein, accused of sex trafficking young girls, held in jail until trial. Berman said part of the reason he denied bail was the testimony of two women who said epstein abused them and said they would be afraid if he was released. One, courtney wild said epstein abused her in florida when she was 16 years old. If you are a victim of Jeffrey Epstein, then you know what i know. He will never stop sexually abusing children until he is in jail. Reporter prosecutors argue if granted bail, the 66yearold was a significant flight risk, pointing to what they found in a safe in his manhattan town house, 70,000 in cash, dozens of diamonds, and a fake foreign passport that had expired. An attorney representing several of epsteins accusers in a civil case said theyre pleased that epstein will remain behind bars. The first reaction was relief and a sense that maybe there was some justice here at last. Reporter epstein, seen in this 1992 nbc video partying with a young donald trump once called the worlds rich and powerful his friends. Many, including mr. Trump, have now distanced themselves from the multimillionaire. Now epstein is being held here at a federal jail in manhattan. And while a trial date has not yet been set, norah, if convicted, epstein faces up to 45 years in prison. All right, mola lenghi, thank you. We learned today that 13 Philadelphia Police officers will be fired over racist or offensive facebook posts. More than 50 other officers are being reprimanded or suspended. Don dahler is in philadelphia with new reaction from the citys top cop. I continue to be very angered and disappointed by these posts. Reporter Police Commissioner richard ross called the actions of the officers unacceptable. I am saddened by the fact that there are even some who would attempt to justify such hate and vile behavior. Reporter the facebook posts made by more than 300 active officers contain derogatory, racist and misogynistic comments. Some officers post violence. Thats what prompted the firings. Can any officer who holds these kinds of views be an effective officer . No. You have to care about the female youre protecting. You to care about the people youre assisting.

Reporter yeah, there is ayuda, help. Unfortunately, we have to recover some of the bodies. Reporter agents told us just a few weeks ago they found three children who lost their lives in the deadly conditions. Do you think there are some who believe they can score bigger political points out of it by letting this process continue, the crisis continue . Im very concerned for some its better as a political issue than it is as a problem solution. And we cant have that. Were talking about children at risk.

President trump says the u. S. Navy shot down an iranian drone over the straight of hormuz because it was threatening one of our destroyers. The president also announced hes ordered 500 u. S. Troops to saudi arabia, which has its own issues with iran. The Iranian Revolutionary guard released video of an oil tanker it seized. David martin is inside saudi arabia with the latest. Reporter the downing took the u. S. And iran another step down a collision course toward war. The amphibious ship boxer was traveling the straight of hormuz when an iranian drone came too close. The boxer took defensive action against an iranian drone, which had closed into a very, very near distance approximately one thousand yards. Ignoring multiple calls to stand down, and was threatening the safety of the ship. Reporter the downing came less than a month after iran shot down an american drone, prompting the u. S. To prepare a retaliatory strike, which President Trump called off at the 11th hour. This comes amid reports the u. S. Is sending more troops to the persian gulf. When i asked general frank mckenzie, the Top Commander for the middle east about that today, he refused to comment. We cant comment onion going rp deployments in the central command. Reporter according to the report, u. S. Troops would go into Prince Sultan air base in the middle of saudi arabia. All the other bases in the region where u. S. Aircraft are currently located are along the rim of the persian gulf, making them easier targets for iran. The saudi base has a 10,000foot runway, long enough to handle any american warplane, and plenty of room to park them. In 1990, on the eve of the first gulf war, american warplanes were lined up wing tip to wing tip at Prince Sultan. But in 2003 the saudis kicked the u. S. Out because they didnt want any part in the invasion of iraq. In fact, you could say they are already at war with iran. We were taken today to see the wreckage of iranianmade missiles that have been fired at royal palaces and airports inside saudi arabia by iranianbacked rebels in yemen. The saudis dont want to fight iran alone, and by opening up i conduct a virtually unlimited buildup if events like todays shootdown spiral into war. President trump is toning down the rhetoric in his ongoing war of words with four firstterm democratic congresswomen. Weijia jiang reports. I disagree with it, by the way. But it was quite a chant, and i felt a little bit badly about it. Reporter from the oval office, President Trump disavowed last nights chant of send her back and sai he tried to stop it. Well, number one, i think i did. I started speaking very quickly. Send her back send her back reporter but the video from the event tells a different story. The president stands in silence for nearly 15 seconds, looking around the arena. And she talked about the evil israel. Reporter when mr. Trump resumed his speech, he made no mention of the chant which started after he attacked democrat ilhan oma she is one of the four freshmen congresswomen of color who President Trump told to go back to their original countries in a racist tweet. All are u. S. Citizens, and only omar was born outside the country. President trump was asked today why his supporters yelled send her back. What i would suggest you go there, i go to north carolina, and you ask the people why did they say that. Reporter so we did. Thats just part of his rallies. You know . Reporter Arnold Wright attended the rally last night. Hes not there to hurt anybodys feelings. This is not about me. Reporter the president said he would try to stop the chant if it comes up again, but omar said the damage is done. When you have a president who clearly thinks someone like me should go back, the message that he is sending is not for me. It is to every Single Person who shares an identity with me. Reporter the rally left republicans once again answering for the president. House minority leader Kevin Mccarthy suggested it could have been worse. The president didnt join any chant like that. Prosecutors in new york say theyve concluded their investigation into the hush money payments to two women who claimed to have had affairs with President Trump. No new charges are expected. The payments violated Campaign Finance laws and landed mr. Trumps longtime lawyer in prison. Paula reid reports. Are you relieved the new york investigation is resolved . Reporter cbs news has learned the Justice Department is not expected to file additional charges in an investigation into hush money paid to the president s alleged mistresses during the final days of the 2016 election. But Court Documents unsealed today reveal how extensive the president s involvement in the payments may have been. And when youre a star, they let you do it. You can do anything. Whatever you want. Reporter the day after the release of the infamous access hollywood tape, mr. Trump got on a call with his personal fixer Michael Cohen and Campaign Spokesperson hope hicks. Prosecutors believe the call was to discuss quashing reports of an affair between trump and adult film star Stormy Daniels as he was under fire for his treatment of women. On the days before and after cohen made a payment of 130,000 to daniels, he spoke to the president three times. Prosecutors say the two men usually spoke about once a month. He asked me to pay off an adult film star with whom he had an affair and to lie about it to his wife, which i did. Reporter cohen was ultimately repaid in part by the trump organization. The president initially denied knowing about the money. Mr. President , did you know about the 130,000 payment to Stormy Daniels . No. No. Reporter and in house testimony last month, hope hicks testified that she was never present for discussions of payments to daniels. Cohen is currently serving three years in federal prison, in part for Campaign Finance violations re day he released ement f greaconcern to the of the congress. Accused child sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein wont be getting out of jail any time soon. The judge denied bail for the wealthy financier, who could spend the rest of his life in prison if he is convicted. Mola lenghi reports. Reporter calling him a threat to the public, judge Richard Berman ordered Jeffrey Epstein, accused of sex trafficking young girls, held in jail until trial.

And while this is the cbs overnight news. Welcome back to the overnight news. Im meg oliver. Saturday will mark the 50year anniversary of Neil Armstrongs historic walk on the moon. In the decades since, advances in technology have helped us understand the universe beyond our solar system. Scientists will soon have a new tool for that, the giant magellan telescope. Jim axelrod went to tucson, arizona where its being made. For all of human history, people have been gazing skyward at night, studying the stars and wondering what could lie beyond them. Well, soon scientists will have a powerful new tool at their disposal, and its focus is, well, out of this world. It is certainly a peculiar place for a stateoftheart laboratory, but under the football stadium at the university of arizona this one we started just about 18 months ago. Reporter Patrick Mccarthy heads the International Group building the largest optical telescope in the world, the giant magellan. One of the biggest discoveries in astronomy in the past 20 years is 97 of the universe, we have no idea what it is. Reporter but mccarthy says the giant magellan project is working to change that. That is a chunk of glass. Yeah you feel its pretty heavy. This is pretty dense stuff. It takes about 20 tons of these to make one mirror. Reporter using special glass which makes up the telescopes seven 27foot circular mirrors that is shipped in from japan, and then melted down in a specially engineered rotating furnace i think it is probably the orter hat res teesf mor than 2100 degrees. How complicated is it to build these mirrors . Pretty complicated. And its a real precision polishing challenge. Each mirror when theyre finished is so precise and so smooth, if you made it the size of the continental united states, the distance between the tallest mountain peaks and the deepest valley, half an inch. Its that smooth. Reporter it takes the team here in tucson 18 months to complete a single 16 1 2 ton mirror. But researchers are quite clear, its worth the wait. Its a major breakthrough in our ability to study the universe. Reporter astronomer jared mails tells us magellans resolution will be ten times greater than nasas current gold standard, the hubbell space telescope. Imagine youre looking down a long straight road and there is a car coming towards you and it has its headlights. When its really far away, the two headlights look at one headlight. But there is a point that you can just see there are two headlights. So you can tell the difference between those headlights ten times further away on this road as the car is coming towards you. Thats how much more powerful the gmp than the hubbell space telescope. Reporter its that revolution in resolution that scientist says will help the giant magellan discover new planets and look deeper into the universe than ever before, deep enough to turn back time. The telescopes are time machines in a sense because light travels fast, but not infinitely fast. If you look ten light years away, youre seeing the light as it was ten years ago. We can look 10 billion years in the past we can see the beginning of the first light, the first stars. Reporter magellans mirrors will eventually end up here, on a mountaintop in chiles atacama desert, housed inside a 22story observato observatory. What do you think the take away is for all of us, for humanity, that this kind of technology is being developed and refined . Its a journey to find out where we are, where we came from, are we alone . And the technology is our tools to help answer those questions. Questions that we all care about that go to the root of who are we as people and whats our place in the universe. The partisan divide in washington seems to grow wider by the day, but there is one man working in congress who has the support and admiration of both republicans and democrats. His name is Bertie Bowman. Hes been working in the capitol since world war ii and is so beloved, they just named a building after him. Nancy cordes has his story. He is a great guy. Just to put his longevity into perspective, the longest serving current senator has been on capitol hill for 44 years. Bertie bowman has been working here for 3 4 of a century, and along the way he has become a confidante to giants of the right and the left. Im going to have to start down at that end. Reporter on the Senate Foreign relations committee, there are junior senators, there are senior senators and then bertie there is Bertie Bowman. He outranks me by a long, long ways. Reporter it isnt just about his age, 88 and going strong, its that he started running this hearing room in 1966. Bertie bowman, the former clerk of this committee for 500 years. Reporter at every key hearing, hes the one you see in the corner of the frame, escorting witnesses, fixing the mics. His name is Bertie Bowman. Reporter and keeping the powerful in check. Mr. Bowman, he has outlasted all of us on this committee. Vigorous timekeeper. Reporter bertie came to capitol hill when he was 13 years old. He ran away from his South Carolina home after a chance meeting with his senator, burnett maybank. Before he can even get in his car, i was pulling on his coattail. If i come to washington, can i stop by and see you . He said yes. Reporter what did you think you were going to do when you got washington . I didnt know. It was a future i was headed for somewhere, but where i was headed for, i dont know. Reporo heoppe. Train and hd st to maybanks office on capitol hill. He gave me a job sweeping the Capitol Steps at that time and paid me out of his own pocket. Reporter 2 a week. That was 1944. Bertie went on to do stints as a capitol janitor, a cook, and shining senators shoes. Lyndon johnson used to love to get dressy. Bertie, how is my boots today . You got them looking good . Can i see my face . I say here you are, son. You can see your face better than i can. Reporter by the time he got the Foreign Relations committee, bertie seemed to know more about congress than most of its members. You made senators look good. Yeah. And senators do like that. We dont mind it. Reporter former senator chuck hagel is a republican. Democrat tim kaine is still o the ittes of someery important that weve lost, civility. Reporter every new senator gets a crash course from bertie. Oh, i tell them when you walk out the door you look left or right and say hello, how you this morn. Reporter a lot of staffers would be intimidated to tell a senator Something Like that. I cant be intimidated about the way i was out the to treat people. I treat them too good. Reporter one of them was young messenger, who sent us this video. He was exactly the kind of person youd want to take you under his wing if youre a 20yearold student just working in your first job in washington. We want you to have this. Reporter now washington is returning the favor. Were just honored to name this new building after you, the bertie h. Bowman building. Reporter putting berties name atop the new headquarters. I didnt believe it at first. I was really shocked and honored. Isnt that great . Honored. Er thats amazing. Im the happiest guy in the world. Reporter at 88, Bertie Bowman has no plans to retire. He says his doctor has told him to slow down, but he told me that he knows hes still the best at his job, which is the kind of confidence that is hardearned after 75 years of experience.

If your Summer Vacation will take you to rome, there is one historic attraction you dont want to miss. The caracala baths, ancient romes giant public bath house. If you have already seen it, you may want to go again, because now theyve opened its vast underground tunnels to tourists. Seth doane has a look. Reporter nearly 2,000 years ago, it was built to impress, and still does today, even in ruins. The elaborate mosaics and soaring multistory structures were the public baths or catarmae of Roman Emperor cat calla. It was complete with gyms, saunas, libraries and three main pools, with uncold, one tepid, one hot. And now as of late june, there is a new world to explore underground. If you go upstairs, you can see the great beauty of the baths and the rome of course. If you are here, you understand the function, the technology, and the graceness of the roman architects. Reporter marina piramonte has been director here for more than two decades. So i was alone for many, many years in this area thinking and desiring to open these tunnels to the public. Reporter this is the first time the public has ever been allowed into this part of this Sprawling Network of underground tunnels. So far theyve excavated about a mile of them, but still have around 2 1 2 miles to go. In the tunnels, they projected video artwork dreamed up by a contemporary artist as a way to evoke feelings and help visitors understand the past. Down here was where the work happened, with slaves moving wood and lighting fires to heat the pools and saunas above. They had up to 8,000 daily caraala is very complicated and very rare. Reporter Francesco Prosperetti is the superintendent of archaeology in rome. He is taken us to Emperor Neros palace where they introduced Virtual Reality to help recreate the past. Then after romes subway excavation turned up so many artifacts, he turned a metro station into a museum. And now this. People think of the coliseum, the circus maximus. People dont know as much the baths of caracala. Youre right. And that is strange because caracala is the biggest monument in rome. If you take the coliseum and put it inside caracala, caracala is bigger. Reporter showcasing the grandeur of the empire. Daniel smith came from virginia. See the history of them curtaining the woods, being able to heat the water in order to keep the people clean. And the size is just enormous. Its just amazing. Reporter his 9yearold marvelled at something else. And the ancient times, they still did things that we do today. Reporter like take a bath . Yeah. Reporter these cavernous tunnels now filled with art were first excavated in the 1930s, in part to stabilize another structure above, a giant stage. Each summer, romes opera moved outside here, mixing art and archaeology above ground too with the caracala aths caprese at italian meal usually salad, tommy mate toes, olive oil, basil, and of course fresh mozzarella cheese. We sent seth doane to italy in search of the best mozzarella in the world. Reporter better come early to snag a number before this Specialty Sales out. After all, this is fresh buffalo mozzarella. Its packed up in styrofoam boxes. Emotions, however, are not so contained. Are they fighting over the mozzarella . They are fighting over the number. Reporter mario came all the way from milan. You can buy this in the grocery store. Indeed, yes. Reporter why come here . Because the taste of this one is simply amazing. O this is made of the buffaloes lab that is just behind the shop. Reporter this is the organic cheese maker tenuta in southern italy, not far frompestum. Maybe well get to pestum, which is the temple, but this is the first stop. Reporter Nicola Palmieri runs his familys farm where the buffalo are, well, pampered. If we can give them the possibility of the best life, we must. And the Technology Gives us the opportunity. Reporter soothing music is piped in to the pens. And when the buffalo feel theyre ready, they line up on their own to be milked by machine. They can also take a shower or get a massage. They have to be relaxed to give the milk. It is one of the secret we use to make a good mozzarella. Reporter after the milk is collected, kurds are produced, and in just about five hours, theyre formed into balls with the special technique that gave mozzarella its name. Mozzarella means cut . Yes. Reporter and thats what yes. Atching right here reporter the chance to see the process draws tourists and locals alike, including patricia oaks from louisiana. How different is the mozzarella youve tried here in southern italy from what youve had in the u. S. . Im not going to lie. It melts in your mouth. Reporter buffalo milk has a higher percentage of fat than milk from cows. So its richer and sweeter. This man came from bolivia to learn this rather involved art at the consortium for the protection of buffalo mozzarella in compagna. Did you realize how difficult it was going to be to make buffalo mozzarella . No, no. I thought it would be one month. Reporter b its been six and counting. It looks easy.
