This is the cbs evening news with scott pelley. Pelley this is our western edition. Time is running out for donald trump. Trailing in the polls with election day two weeks from tomorrow, 30 states are already voting. Nearly five million ballots have been cast. Early voting began today in parts of florida, a battleground state. And our cbs news poll finds trump down three points in florida, which he must win, which is why Major Garrett found him there today. Leave here and vote. Or we have wasted a hell of a lot of time, energy, and in my case a lot of money. Reporter donald trump put on a brave face in florida today, telling a roundtable with farmers he sees only sunshine. I think were going to win florida big. So i actually think were winning. At least seven florida stops in two days illustrate a desperate push for the states 29 must have electoral votes. Trump routinely scoffs at polls showing him trailing. I dont believe the polls anymore. I dont believe them. I dont believe them. Reporter but trump today for the first time acknowledged what Campaign Advisers have known for days the odds are against him. I guess im somewhat behind in the polls, but not by much. Reporter that comment echoed by Campaign ManagerKellyanne Conway yesterday. We are behind. She has some advantages. Reporter trump is not only trailing in most battleground states. Polls show him with surprisingly narrow leads in g. O. P. Strongholds like texas, arizona, utah and georgia. On my first day in office, my administration will immediately pursue the following six measures. Reporter to build enthusiasm, trump now offers a blueprint for his first 100 days in office with tough new acts on reform, and a limited federal worker hiring freeze. Trumps shallow poll numbers are a burden for republicans in tight senate races like marco rubio here in florida. Scott, the key for rubio and other similarly situated republicans separate their message from trumps and deploy a get out the vote operationtana Strong Enough to withstand a possible trump blowout loss. Pelley Major Garrett, thanks. Well, its not over until its over, but no candidate down this far this late er recovered. So now Hillary Clinton is turning her attention to helping other democrats. Heres nancy cordes. Reporter clinton brought some of her biggest firepower to the smallest battleground state today, massachusetts senator elizabeth warren, who blasted trump for this comment. Such nasty woman. Reporter in the last debate. On november 8th we nasty women are going to march our votes to get you out of our lives forever reporter clinton already leads by eight in new hampshire, but she went there anyway to help out governor maggie hassan, whose senate race is closer. Unlike her opponent, she has never been afraid to stand up to donald trump. Reporter clinton has always been diligent about plugging even lowlevel democrats. Your amazing lackawanna count recorder of deeds, evie rafalc reporter but as she pulls away from trump, shes shiftingo more of her time and focus tonte those downballot races, because democrats only need five seats to take control of the senate. So please, do the right thing and elect deborah ross. Reporter in las vegas, president obama followed clintons lead. The other guys supporting donald trump. What the heck . Reporter going after g. O. P. And now that trumps poll numbers are cratering, suddenly, no, i dont want to. Im not supporting him. Too late. Reporter clintons focus on the senate races delight democrats, but its also strategic. If she wins, shell have a much better shot of enacting agenda if her Party Controls at least one house of congress. Pelley nancy cordes, thanks very much. Trying to figure out who is behind that cyber attack we told you about on friday that crippled some of the biggest sites on the internet, from amazon to twitter. Jeff pegues has been looking into how that attack was possible and whether a similar assault could threaten the election. I think it was to demonstrate the power and capacity they have. Reporter adam meyer who works for Internet SecurityCompany Crowdstrike says someone is sending a message. How could Something Like this impact an election . Election, this could be used to disrupt signals. It could be used to disrupt your website. You could use this to disrupt voting stations or the infrastructure involved in, you know, tallying votes or Something Like that. Reporter federal investigators believe the attackers used malware called mirai to infect peoples devices in homes like thermostat, fitness trackers, even baby monitors. People tend to put these devices on. They want to use them as quickly and easily as possible. They dont go through the steps of setting up unique passwords and unique user names. It becomes a nice victim for for these attackers to start looking for these devices and then to inject their own code into those devices. Reporter the mirai botnet then uses the devices to crash a server or web site by flooding it with data. If i ca if i call your phone from 1,500 different phones, its going to eventually jam up your phone, right . So no legitimate calls can come through. User name anna senpai claimed responsibility for releasing the code, some of which is in russian. It included this sentence which says, i love chicken nuggets. The hacker may have used that russian code to throw investigators off the track. Scott, it takes time for cyber forensics experts to attribute Cyber Attacks of this scale. Pelley jeff pegues in our washington newsroom. Jeff, thank you. L said californias Highway Patrol said today there is no indication that a bus driver hit the brakes before a terrible crash yesterday near palm springs. At 5 00 a.

In california, thousands of National Guardsmen are being told that they have to return bonuses that they received for reenlisting during the wars in jan crawford is covering the outrage over that. I dont want to pay back something that i earned. Reporter Robert Dandrea had just retired after serving nearly 22 years in the California National guard.

Reporter dandrea had already served as an infantry commander in iraq when his term came up. The bonus helped him decide to stay in. The bonuses were meant for soldiers with highdemand assignments in units about to deploy. They were given to more than 10,000 soldiers, many by mistake. It is appalling and disgraceful. Reporter House Majority leader Kevin Mccarthy is asking the Defense Department to stop the debt collection. They sacrificed, some unfortunately gave the ultimate sacrifice of life, and now theyre going back after ten to me it is just wrong. These people should be treated like heroes, not tax cheats. Reporter the payments came under scrutiny when it was discovered that california manager awarded more than 15 million to ineligible soldiers. She was sentenced to 30 months in prison. The guard told sergeant to return 20,000 and threatened to garnish his wages. He filed a federal lawsuit in february. I would like to see them forgive these mistakes that they soldiers. All they did was raise their hand and swear an oath to that constitution. Reporter now, the Defense Department says soldiers can go through a formal review process to see if theyll have to repay the improperly awarded bonuses, but, scott, critics say that is an uncertain fight that these soldiers shouldnt have to take on. Pelley hard to see how its the soldiers fault. Jan crawford, jan, thank you. Tonight u. S.

Another nearby Christian Town, bartella, has also been retaken. We were there two years ago, just before isis seized the town, meeting the local men who visiting the church where we found them praying in aramaic, the language spoken by jesus.

Reporter after a credit card heater overheated on this flight a year ago, the airline joined Virgin America in putting the bags on all plane, and following the ban of samsung note 7 devices, like this one that started smoking on a plane earlier this month, delta and other carriers are now looking at the technology. When a battery starts to implode on itself, it continues until all of the chemical has run out. So it does take a lot of liquid in order to make sure that we try to reduce the heat. They get hot and they burn very fast and it can be for quite a long period of time. Reporter but the federal Aviation Administration has concerns about the bag, warning in a 2009 safety alert saying transferring a burning appliance into a bag could be hazardous. Regulators say Airline Crews should avoid touching the burning device and instead try to put it out with water or a chemical fire suppressant. Nd thn alaska trains its crews to first douse a flaming device and then put it into the containment bag.

Pelley the American Academy of pediatrics has Surprising New advice out tonight for parents. They should sleep in the same room as their infant children until those children reach their first birthday to reduce the possibility of sids, sudden infant death syndrome. Ta us more about these guidelines. Reporter hi, scott. So this recommendation reinforces what weve known, which is that parents should be putting babies to bed on their backs, and they should be doing that on a Firm Mattress thats flat without any soft bedding, pillows, toys or bumpers in the crib. In addition, whats new is this recommendation, as you mention, about room sharing, the concept that parents and babies should be in the same room for a minimum of six months and up to sids by about 50 . The thinking is that parents may be more likely to feed, monitor and comfort their baby if theyre in the same room. Pelley what else can parents do . Reporter parents can give their babies pacifiers. They can breastfeed. Make sure theyre up to date on immunization, practice tummy time and avoid smoking and alcohol. One of the nice things about these recommendations is that youre realistic about parenting. Youre exhausted in the middle of the night and you take your baby to a couch or armchair. The baby could get wedged or trapped there. They would prefer you fall asleep in your own bed and put the baby back in their crib or bassinet. Pelley dr.
