I dont feel the my tips of my fingers. My jaw, i still cant feel it. Reporter mendoza blames glyphosate, the main chemical ingredient in the weedkiller roundup, which she used on her lawn every weekend. I had a bucket that held two gallons of water, i would strap it on, and just walk around spraying. Reporter mendoza is one of hundreds of people around the country suing monsanto, roundups parent company. They lawyers kri s cite this st that says glyphosate is probably carcinogenic and damaging to d. N. A. In human cells. They cherry pick data. Reporter last summer we spoke with dr. Donna farmer, a monsanto scientist. There is no data indicating we should change how the product is used. The data is clear, glyphosate doesnt cause cancer. Reporter but now the data is in question. Newly released Court Documents suggest that monsanto planned to ghost write a positive report on glyphosate and get experts to back it up. A scientist wrote in an email, we would keep the cost down by us doing the writing and they would edit and sign their name. Court documents also reveal conversations between a federal director about a federal glyphosate review. I doubt epa can kill this, the monsanto executive wrote, but its good to know theyre going to make the effort. In a statement, monsanto says these allegations are false. Monsanto scientists did not ghost write the paper, reiterating, no regulatory body in the world considers glyphosate to be a carcinogen. But anthony, here in california, this label could soon change and include a warning about cancer, after another federal court ruling. Mireya, thanks. For borrowers and savers, news of interest, next.

From the Broadcast Center in new york city, im anthony mason. Captions by vitac www. Vitac. Com this is the cbs overnight news. Welcome to the overnight news. Im michelle miller. The Justice Department says it now knows whos behind the devastating hack at yahoo that compromised at least 500 million user accounts. And the finger is squarely pointed at moscow. Two intelligence russian agents and two high profile hackers have been charged. Its the first time a russian Government Official has been named in a cyber crime case here in the u. S. Jeff pegues has the details. Reporter prosecutors say fsb officers Dmitry Dokuchaev and igor sushkin financed and directed the cyber attack and hired one of the worlds bestknown hackers, alexsey belan, to do most of the work. From 2014 to 2016, Court Papers Say belan and his team used computer code to infiltrate yahoos database, stealing user names, emails, and passwords. They used that information to access the accounts of russian journalists and politicians, as well as u. S. Government officials, including military and white house personnel. Belan also used 30 million accounts to facilitate a spam scheme that netted him money. In all, 500 million accounts, half of yahoos total of one billion, were compromised. Acting assistant attorney general mary mccord we will not allow individuals, groups, nation states or a combination of them to compromise the privacy of our citizens, the economic interests of our companies, or the security of our country. Reporter but the hackers were able to go unnoticed because the agents, dokuchaev and sushkin, may have been familiar with u. S. Cyber strategy. Prosecuters say both worked at center 18, the fbis russian contact for cyber investigations. Robert cattanach is a former federal prosecutor. They pretend to be collaborating with us to try to do something about the spread of cybercrime in russia, and come to find out, theyre fostering it. Reporter a canadian who was allegedly part of the operation is in custody. Anthony, according to russian media, dokuchaev, one of the fsb officers, was arrested earlier this year by russian authorities and jailed for treason. President trumps unfounded allegation that the Prior Administration ordered his phone to be tapped is getting the eye roll on capitol hill. Republican leaders looking into the charges say theyve seen no evidence, and the attorney general says he never told the president he was under surveillance. Nancy cordes has the latest. I dont think there was abactual tap of trump tower. Reporter house intelligence chairman devin nunes typically toes the party line, but today he concluded that President Trumps explosive accusation has no merit. Are you going to take the tweets literally . And if you are, then clearly the president was wrong. Reporter his comments came after 11 days of white house insistence that the commanderinchief was serious when he tweeted, just found out that obama had my wires tapped in trump tower. I think hes extremely confident. Reporter but administration officials, including the attorney general, have provided no evidence to back it up. Did you ever give him any reason to believe he was wiretapped by the Previous Administration . Um, look, the answer is no. Reporter President Trump refused to back down today, insisting something happened to him. Wiretap covers a lot of different things. I think youre going to find some very interesting items coming to the forefront over the next two weeks. Reporter the surveillance, whether real or imagined, has alarmed lawmakers from both sides. Have you found evidence . Reporter fbi director james comey was called up to capitol hill again today to brief two top senators behind closed doors. They were not authorized to share details. This briefing was all on sensitive matters, and highly classified. Reporter republican Lindsey Graham said comey should share what he knows with the public. The bottom line is, a lot of americans are wondering whats going on here. Reporter democrat adam schiff argued there is a reason white house officials cant provide any proof. The reality is, i dont think they have the foggiest idea of what was behind the president s claim except maybe something he watched on tv. Reporter actually, it was a conservative radio host that first suggested President Trump may have been spied on by his predecessor. That accusation made its way into a breitbart article, anthony, about 24 hours before President Trump sent those nowinfamous tweets. Members of the United Nations held a moment of silence to mark the sixyear anniversary of the civil war in syria.

But still, there are too many homeless dogs on puls streets.

She rents a room in her San Francisco apartment on air b b. Taking in about 15,000 a year. Its been difficult to get by in San Francisco, and the additional income has definitely made it more comfortable. Reporter as a host, shes not the exception, shes the rule. A study commissioned by the Company Found 1 million female hosts worldwide. Thats 55 of all air b b hosts. I think a lot of confidence through hosting. Its basically like running your own business and having a lot of role. Reporter brian is the ceo. He cofounded the company in 2008 when he was 26 years old. He says airbnb is inherently more democratic than many maledominated businesses. Anyone can be an entrepreneur, anyone can be a host. I think that spirit of anybody has just become a more equalizing notion than neighbor in other industries where it requires connections, references, referrals, which i think have been proven to provide some greater barriers. Reporter the study found since 2008, women have earned 10 billion by hosting. Female hosts in the u. S. Earn an average of 6600 per year. What surprised you about the findings of this report . 50,000 women reported that they use this money to fund businesses or invest in entrepreneurial pursuits.

Some people dont like to take responsibility. Reporter he was caught on camera arguing with an uber driver. Is there a cautionary tale that youre see thing that you dont want to happen here . I think every company that i admire has had their ups and downs. Reporter do you think he can still effectively lead yuber . I would assume he only knows best and take him at his word. One of the things i learn, i needed mentors. I wouldnt be here if it wasnt for mentors. Ive been shameless about constantly seeking leadership help from people that are smarter than me and more experienced than me. Reporter hes not shied away from taking on the leader of the free world. When President Trump issued a controversial travel ban, airbnb responded in a super bowl ad. He says hes just standing up for his worldwide host community. One he says is still in its infancy. The travel industry is almost the size of the oil industry. Its nearly 10 of global gdp. So i think this is literally chapter one. I hope if there was a book writ with the gop controlling the white house and congress, the democrats are now in position to become the party of no. As in no, were not passing that bill. Some Democratic Leaders are even floating the idea of shutting down the government to block President Trumps wall along the mexico border.
