Reporter after three years representing Church Sex Abuse survivors on the Vatican Panel, mary collins quit, citing a culture of resistance at the vatican. The men they thrive on secrecy and coverup. I thought it was time to move out and be able to speak about it and to let it be known. Collins does not blame pope francis but members of the Vatican Church administration saying the lack of cooperation is shameful. They have the same sort of attitude as the Church Leadership here had 20 years ago. I was trying to bring abusers to justice. It is soul destroying, heartbreaking to see that, there are still men with those same attitudes.

What you going to do when they come for you thats the overnight news for this friday. For some of you, the news continues. For others, check back with us a little bit later for the morning news and be sure not to miss cbs this morning. From the Broadcast Center in new york city, im scott pelley. This is the cbs overnight news. Hi, welcome to the overnight news. Im demarco morgan. Attorney general Jeff Sessions is the latest Trump Administration official caught up in the web of contacts with russian officials. Turns out sessions met with russias ambassador twice last year. While the kremlin was working to influence the u. S. President ial election. Now he has recused himself from the investigation. Jeff pegues begins our coverage. In retrospect. I should have slowed down and said, but i did meet one russian official, a couple times. Reporter u. S. Attorney general Jeff Sessions said he would have no involvement in any investigation related to the Trump Campaign. The announcement came less than a day after sessions acknowledged having two meetings with Russian Ambassador last year. Something he did not reveal while under oath at his confirmation hearing when he was questioned by minnesota democrat al franken. If there is any evidence that anyone affiliated with the Trump Campaign communicated with the russian government in the course of this campaign, what will you do . Senator franken, i am not aware of an of those acti activ. I have been called at a surrogate or two at a time or two in the campaign. I did not have communications with the russians. Make America Great again. Reporter in february, 2016, sessions became the first senator to endorse then candidate trump. He defended mr. Trumps positive comments about russia. Donald trump is right. We need to figure out a way to, to end this cycle of hostility that is putting this country at risk. Ro reporter in july he had a conversation with the Russian Ambassador in cleveland. Then the in september the two met in the senators capitol hill office. Sessions says the Russian Ambassador initiated the meeting. Less than a month later, u. S. In te intelligence agencies would blame the russian government for wave of cyberattacks, targeting the u. S. Election. Concluding the attacks were designed to help president trump. The fbi counterintelligence commune it investigates contacts between trump aassociate yalts and russian operatives. During his confirmation, sessions was asked in a written questionnaire if he had any contact with the russian government abut the 2016 election. He responded no. He repeated that assertion today. I never had meetings with russian operatives or russian intermediaries about the Trump Campaign. And the idea that i would part of a continuing exchange of information during the campaign between trump surrogates and intermediaries for the russian government is totally false. Eric oneal, former counterintelligence officer for the fbi, says everyone at the Russian Embassy is part of the kremlins spy network. But there has to be that understanding that you are not just talking to a politician or a diplomat, you are talking to stom o some one who will feed into intelligence. Reporter we know other Trump Associates also met with the Russian Ambassador either during or after the campaign. They include, michael flynn, adviser, carter page, and, mr. Trumps soninlaw, jared kushner. Today the white house described the kushner meeting as an inconsequential hello. On capitol hill, some Republican Leaders insist sessions did nothing wrong. Top democrats say he should resign. Here is nancy cordes. I do think he should recuse himself. Dozens of republicans concluded to day that sessions was simply too close to the Trump Campaign to be in charge of investigating it. I would recuse myself. Reporter Democratic Leaders in the house and senate went further calling on sessions to resign after 22 days on the job. The top cop in our country lied under oath. There is something very inappropriate to dramatically mislead congress. Why isnt it enough for him to to reap cues himself. Why does he have to resign. Look, the attorney general is is the chief Law Enforcement officer of the land. And already, his his integrity and independence has been questioned. Sessions served in congress for 21 years and has many Close Friends here. He is a man of integrity. They argued he didnt mean to mislead and had every right as a member of the Armed Services committee to meet with a foreign diplomat. In the past couple years i probably met with a high ranking official on half the countries on the face of thor. Given tensions with russia, meeting with that nations envoys arent as common. Oklahoma republican, jim inhoff served on armed serp viss two decades. Whens the last time you moment with the Russian Ambassador . Dont think i ever have. Committee chair, john mccain has kept his distance from ambassador since 2014. I was sanctioned by vladamir putin. So i doubted that would be a very pleasant encounter. Democrats say sessions a former prosecutor should have known that his testimony was leaving the false impression that he never met with any russian officials. Some republicans however, scott, say it was just an honest mistake, made in hour 11 of a very tense confirmation hearing. The vatican sill hasnt turned the page on the clergy sex abuse scandal. A member of the Commission Set up to protect minors, quit. She accused vatican officials of stone walling the investigation ordered by pope francis. Seth doane has the the story from outside vatican city. Reporter a very public blow to the vatican on a very sensitive issue. At the core a woman who was a victim of Church Sex Abuse who says there is a cultural resistance to change here at the vatican. It was better for me to come out and be able to speak about it. Because these men they thrive on silence. And coverup. Mary collins, sexually abused by a priest as a teenager, tired of what she called constant set backs in her work on a panel set up by pope francis. To protect minors from sex abuse. We spoke with her this morning at her home in dublin, ireland. To find there is still a group of men in this level in the church who who do not see Child Protection as a priority. That do not get it. In 2017. It is just unacceptable. Reporter in her resignation letter, collins wrote she believes the pope is sincere in his efforts but the resistance by some members of the vatican curia or Church Administration has been shameful. Sometimes i feel the pope does make mistakes. He is badly advised. You are dependent in the possession for those around you for advice. She is bringing up good issues. A cbs news consultant. What americans are going to hearen all of this, the katrina look church is still not steerous abosteer serious about dealing with the issue of sex abuse. It is very, very serious, perhaps more than any other organization in the world. The katri boston cardinal, sean omalley, who heads the Commission Said in a statement. We will certainly listen care dpully to all that mary wishes to share with us about her concerns. The only other sex abuse victim on the panel, Peter Saunders was critical of it forced out last year. Recently the pope has been criticized for being too lenient on at least one pedophile priest. Instead of defrocking him. He was removed from public make the most of a few minutes with instant moisture from ky ultragel. Im good. . I just took new mucinex clear and cool. Whats this sudden cooooling thing happening .

Living well nine years before rosa parks refused to give up her seat on a bus in montgomery, alabama, another woman stood up against Racial Discrimination in canada. Michelle miller has her story. Reporter her name is Viola Desmond, never heard of her . Until a few years ago, neither did many canadians. But her story is giving context to assumptions on canadas history that the nation free of slavery, free of legal segregation, was not so free of racism. Desmond gave voice to that. The beauty parlor was in her home. 90yearold is proud of her big sister. Proud that by 32, Viola Desmond built a thriving hair care and Beauty Supply business. Modeling herself after americas first female selfmade millionaire. Madam cj walker. She said thats what i want to do. Thats what i want to be. This lady was, was way before her time. She is even prouder of the decision, desmond made in this theater back in 1946. All i wanted was to see a movie. An event reenacted for canadian television. I cant tell downstairs tick tights you people. On a business trip, waiting for her car to be repaired, desmond bought a ticket to watch a movie from a seat of her choosings. I relaxed. Next thing the usher tapped me on the shoulder. Said you cant sit here. She said why not . She said you have the wrong ticket. Your tech icket is upstairs. She said i will go back and change it for a understairs ticket. They wouldnt let her. We are going to arrest you. Arrest me. I have done nothing wrong. They dragged her out. Wasnt difficult. She is only 95 pounds. Desmond spent the night in jail, fined 26 Canadian Dollars and charged with failing to pay a one cent difference in tax. They said i didnt pay the theater tax. But it was really about color. Reporter it was the only legal way to charge her. Because while practiced, segregation was not written into canadian law. Desmond appealed. And her case was heard by the nova scotia supreme court, dismissed on a technicality. Desmonds stand would soon fade into obscure team for many. Except for professor graham reynol reynolds. I think that moment of spontaneous courage was just the kind of thing that inspires people. Reporter reynolds knew all about desmonds case he taught Race Relations at university. What he didnt know his 73yearold sister was taking his class. Im telling the story about Viola Desmond. I am sitting there in the class. I said thats my sister. Thats exactly. What did you say . Well i was absolutely taken of course. I realized she was a treasure. Reporter thus began a partnership to bring Viola Desmonds story to light, one that traced her history here in halifax throughout this entire area. And ultimately in ten short years, gave canada a new national hero. Together, reynolds and robson worked to clear desmonds name. And in 2010, the lieutenantgovernor of nova scotia, issued her a pos muss free pardon. Desmonds status as a civil rights pioneer was rediscovered. Her name appeared on a passenger ferry and face on a canadian postage stamp. So what are you going to do . Make it right. Reporter then in 2016, 70 years after her solitary act of defiance. Viola desmond. Desmond was chosen from a list of hundreds to be the first woman outside of royalty on canadian currency. Ooh. Wouldnt mom and dad be proud. Why do you think they chose her . I think they chose her because the timing us right. Because because of the fact that she stood up. She stood her ground. For what she believed was right. The cbs overnight news will be right back.

Good game, you really crushed it. No son, geico crushed it. A lot of people who work in hollywood, the most important part of any movie is the credits. Credits have come a long way over the years and in some ways they have become their own art form. Lee cowen has a look. Reporter as main title sequences go, the naked gun may not have been the most artistic in movie making history. But it did its job remarkably well. It teed up the absurdity of the funny film to come. Bingo. And like all title sequences it fulfilled another need. Distracting us from what we are really watching. A long list of names. Thats their role. To display each name for the contractually agreed upon time. Industry standard, by the way is 2 seconds. But it also has to do it in a creative way. Whether it is with the Cafeteria Food in napoleon dynamite or windblown fonts in twister. You are in the theater. The lights go down. You see this amazing thing that will evoke an emotional it is like 12 frames off. Kyle cooper spent a lifetime evoking that response. He lit the fuse in mission impossible. And he took us under the microscope in the island of dr. Morrow. I like eyes and veins and arteries and, and insects, and i lack to observe things that really exist and research things. Reporter he sees putting names on the screen as really the utilitarian part of title design. The art he says, comes in how it all blend with the music. And to get the look and feel of a film without giving too much or too little away. Cooper is perhaps best known for his title designs for seven where he took the audience into the mad, meticulous mind of a serial killer. I was at the pre seven when we dropped that thing on the people, they went nuts. They were like, for seven. And there is this reaction. So it did what in the best way what a title sequence is supposed to do. I kconsider these things short film. Movie within a movie. I think so. In the early days, main titles were just that. Titles with fancy fonts like the f fairy tale look of robin hood or the colossal look of king kong. Iconic title card. Strong music. You knew you were going to see something larger than life. Lola is managing editor of a website called art of the title. An exhaustive resource for any one wanting to take a deep title sequence dive. Yeah, rabbit hole. Its it . You can spend your life studying this. A good title sequence she says is all about moves. Star wars gave us that once upon a time feel. While bond was pure intrigue. That iconic gun barrel. Was a deef sesign of maurice bi in 1962 and it has withstood the test of time. Gold finger designer Robert Brownjohn took to projecting titles on to models. That too stuck. You have the gaejdgets, guns girls, thats the trifecta. If there is a patron saint of title design. Most agree it would be sol bats. If you are a fan of hitchcock, you know his work. They were a little abstract . Very abstract. Depended on how you are looking at it. I would look at Something Like psycho, you could argue abstract or literal. Because psycho is sliced up. What about vertigo . From the first few seconds of the film. Youve feel dizzy. And you dont know whats happening. Which of course was precisely the point. These things are working on you in this way that is, totally subconscious. Good was work you dont know they work. Exactly. It is not just theatrical releases. Sopranos started an arms race in tv main style design. Gone are meet the cast days of the brady bunch. Now, we have the more nuanced look of mad men. Or the beautifully eerie look of west world. It is great when you get the texture of the muscles coming through. Patrick claire has within two emmys for best main title design. First for true detective. And again last year for the man in the high castle. The series that ponders the question what if the al liz had lost world war ii. What ingredient i guess if there is one that makes a really good title sequence . Its got to be simple. Yeah . I look at my favorite title sequeces they all have a very pure, simple idea at the heart of them. Whether brutality of cooking ]. Fast in a show like dexter. Dead body prepared for burial in six feet under take the acts and it speaks to journey. Cool, production design. Reporter finding simplicity can be a super human challenge. Especially in the sometimes complex universe of super heroes. My favorite part. Right in your face. Thats great. Erin swdesigned opening sequences for captain america the winter soldier. There is a lot going on there. Reporter and beautifully intricate dr. Strange. In both the cases her designs came at the end of the film. Not at the beginning. The movie doesnt end on the final frame. It ends after the director finished having his way with you. So to speak. So, it is like the sorbet at the end of the meal. Cant skip the sorbet. Titles like these at the end of the film may have the toughest job of all. Keeping you in your seat. What do you want them to take away from the title sequence. I want them to wait until theened of tthe end of the scroll and look for our name. Reporter as added incentive to stick around. Marvel has taken a page from ferris buehlers day off. At the end of the credits. We got this. Youre still here . Its over. Reporter if you stick around long enough in marvels dead pool. Youll get a great spoof. Youre still here. Its over. Its over. Go home. Go home. A reminder it is worth, the few extra minutes of your attention. Go. Reporter whether at beginning or end to give credit to those giving credit too. ,,,,,,, scott pruitt has for years ben one. The agencies adversaries. As he sued the epa 14 times, challenging pollution regulations. Climate researchers are concerned they will slash the budget and cut the staff. They are scrambling to find ways to fund their research. One idea, environmental tourism. In the series, the climate diaries, Mark Phillips went with tour iists to the bottom of the world. Here we go reporter there are things you can do here as a tourist you cant do anywhere else. The plunge into the freezing antarctica ocean is something you may only want to try once. But encounters with the antarctica wildlife something you may want to do over and over again. These trips are called expeditions, not cruises. For reasons that go beyond marketing. And with Climate Change skeptics in the white house, they may be a new model for how Scientific Research gets paid for in the future. Clearly see this big trend of increasing temperatures. Renowned antarctica ice scientist says word is out that there will be Less Research money available from this administration. Well we have gotten indications from our, federal funding agencies, National Science foundation we should anticipate budget cuts. Didnt take long after the election for that word to come down. Even when research is government funded, the money often doesnt go far enough. Even now. John durbin uses a drn to check on the health of antarctica wlal whales. There is no way he and Holly Fernback could be here if they didnt get a ride. Hundred thousand dollars to charter a Research Vessel and come down. Wonderful relationship that we have. Paddle on the lefthand side. Tourists are funding the science. And many like lori phie austin up for just about anything say they are willing to pay a premium to do so. I really think it is a shame that science is in the cross hairs of politics. Because, it doesnt take much to understand that well are having a detrimental effect collectively on the world. They come here for the experience, and they leave with more than memories. They leave with knowledge. The scientists on board give the tourists a since of purpose. And if it werent for the touri tourists, the scientists wouldnt be here. It is a marriage made in heaven. Heaven, maybe, i dont think i will be vacationing at the south pole, not any time soon.
