But president made no mention of that last month when he met with the qatari emir, instead, offering to sell him weapons. Lots of beautiful military equipment. Reporter during that trip, the president vowed to unify the muslim world against terrorism and iran. But tensions spiked in the past 24 hours, with countries in the region closing their air space to qatari planes, blocking trade, and cutting diplomatic ties, sparking qataris to stockpile food. The u. S. Launches air strikes against isis and syria in iraq from a base in qatar. The tiny gulf emirate hosts around 10,000 u. S. Troops. Thats one reason secretary of state Rex Tillerson has tried to deescalate the crisis. We certainly would encourage the parties to sit down together and address these differences. Reporter and yesterday, u. S. Ambassador dana smith praised qatars Great Partnership in countering terrorist financing. Smith has broken with the president before, lamenting last month on twitter that it is increasingly difficult to spend the day explaining our democracy and institutions. Today, state Department SpokespersonHeather Nauert tried to soften the president s comments on qatar. They have made progress, but they still have work to do. More work needs to be done. Reporter smith is not the only frustrated longterm diplomat. But, scott, while President Trump wants his own nominees in place, hes only appointed 11 ambassadors to fill 188 empty state department slots. Pelley Margaret Brennan at the state department, thanks. In paris today, a man attacked a Police Officer with a hammer outside notre dame cathedral, shouting, this is for syria. Fellow officers shot and wound the man, who carried an i. D. Indicating that he was from algeria. The officer who was attacked was not seriously hurt. About 600 tourists were locked inside the cathedral as police secured the scene. Today, British Police identified the third of the London Bridge attackers who killed seven and wounded nearly 50 on saturday night. Youssef zaghba, 22 years old, of italian and moroccan heritage, was identified today. He and khuram butt were known to the police, leading some to wonder whether the attack might have been prevented. The truth is, the police in britain are overwhelmed, and Mark Phillips has more on that. Reporter after the carnage, the questions what can be learned from this attack to prevent more of them . Police here say theyre already monitoring 500 suspects, have 3,000 other people of interest on their radar, and know of 20,000 other potential surveillance targets beyond that. The volume issue has become a major challenge for the Police Intelligence agencies. Reporter Richard Walton used to run londons antiterror unit, and says it can take dozens of officers to watch just one suspect. The police can only be devoted to the top, you know, three, four, 5 of those individuals reporter and how do you pick who they are . And how do you pick who they are . You cant monitor 3,000 individuals all over time, 24 hours a day. Reporter the socalled new normal keeps changing, especially as pressure on isis continues to build in syria and iraq. The london attacks are the sting in the isis tail. This is a death cult. This is an entity that realizes its losing territory in iraq and syria and wants to take out as many people as it can. Reporter sajjan gohel advises governments and police on terrorism, and says trying to counter isis propaganda doesnt work when, like the london attackers, some are just too far gone. There are bad people out there that have violent tendencies. They have no hesitation to kill children, to mow people down. The violent extremism may have some place to a degree but it doesnt work in stopping the ideologically zealous. Reporter what works is fast and lethal police action, but that, as weve seen, scott, only limits the damage. Theyve started putting up these concrete barriers on some of londons bridges. Protection, they hope, against vehicle attacks on pedestrians. Closing the barn door, perhaps, after the horse has bolted, and also while they try to figure out what to do next.

Constand told the court, cosby invited her to his home in philadelphia and offered her three blue pills he called a Natural Remedy to ease her stress and a glass of wine. In court today, constand called cosby a temple friend, somebody that i trusted, a friend, a mentor, somewhat of an older figure to me and she said she wasnt scared of him. Constand testified she remembers having blurred vision, saying, i could see two of him. Her legs were, rubbery, and cosby fondled her. But she admitted to staying in contact with cosby after the alleged incident. Inside the courtroom, cosby sat looking directly at the accuser, frowning and shaking his head at times. The defense has questioned constands credibility. During crossexamination today, Defense Attorneys pointed to constands phone records after the incident, showing she called cosby the same morning she did an Online Search for and contacted philadelphiaarea Defense Attorneys. Hours later, attorneys general say she called cosby again, and after being unable to reach him, it was only then that she filed a police report.

Pelley and thats the cbs evening news. For some of you the news continues, for others check back with us a little bit later for the morning news and cbs this morning. From the Broadcast Center in new york city. Im scott pelley. This is cbs overnight news. Welcome to the overnight news, from nearly the start of his administration President Trump has been complaining about leaks to the media. This morning a federal security contractor from georgia faces charges under the espionage act. The Department Says she confessed to leaking a secret document about russias alleged hacking. Late last night, President Trump described the classified leaks as a grave threat to our security. Mr. Trumps Justice Department now has charged 25yearold reality leigh winner, a contract employee with leaking a top secret report on Russian Election hacking. Winner, whose social media discussions sharply criticized trump. Her stepfather, gary davis. She is dedicated to trying to make the world a better place. The charge was filed less than two hours after the online publication the intercept posted the documents. According to the report, she was one of six who made the report and mailed it to the intercept and computer records show she was also in email contact with the publication. Earlier, trump lashed out at what he calls the lowlife leakers. I reached out to the Justice Department. Leaks are common, but the Justice Department prosecuted eight leaks, more than all doubled for the administrations combined. T faith in the president s attorney general may be waning. How would you describe the president s confidence in the attorney general, Jeff Sessions . I have not had a conversation with him. The report shows that they tried to break into votes systems as well. Jeff pegues reports. Reporter u. S. Intelligence is still gathering new evidence of russian cyberattacks before election day. The leaked top secret nsa report was only recently completed and details how a week before november 8th, hackers connected to Russian Military intelligence sent emails laced with malware to 122 local officials controlling voting registration systems, the brazen scheme came just weeks after president obama told russian president Vladimir Putin to stop the attacks. I felt the most effective way to make sure that did not happen was to talk to him directly and tell him to cut it out. Law enforcement says that databases were hacked over a sixmonth period before the election. So you think the worse Case Scenario was they were actually trying to affect the vote total . I think that was their hope. Jim louis advises the government on security. I think they hoped to manipulate the votes and discredit the electoral system which they came closer to doing. U. S. Officials still believe the vote total was not affected. There is nothing more fundamental to our democracy than voting. Today, Homeland Security secretary john kelly said his department wants to help states secure their voting systems but that some are wary of federal intrui intrusion. There is a political firestorm in the arab world that threatens security there and beyond. Reporter President Trump appeared to take credit for sparking the diplomatic crisis, in a series of tweets, the president said his recent visits to saudi arabia was paying off as the kingdom and nine other countries cut ties with qatar, because of their ideology on terrorism. But the president offered to sell him weapons. During that trip, the president vowed to unify the muslim world against terrorism and iran. But tensions spiked in the past 24 hours with countries in the region closing their air space to qatari planes, blocking trade and cutting diplomatic ties, sparking the people to stockpile food. The tiny gulf emirate hosts about 20,000 troops, that is one reason that secretary of state Rex Tillerson is trying to deescalate the crisis. We certainly hope they will sit down and discussion their differences. Smith has broken with the president before, lamenting last month on twitter that it is increasingly difficult to spend the day explaining our democracy and solutions. Today, Heather Nauert discussed the situation. More work needs to be done. A new survey shows there are more than 50,000 Homeless People on the streets of los angeles, up nearly 20 from last year. What did you expect when you got here . Reporter he says he came to los angeles to escape the drugs and gangs in his hometown. But once here he wound up on the streets. I try to sleep on the roofs, that is the safest place. How hard has it been for you to find a job . Pretty hard to find a job, find a place to live is even harder. Reporter garner is among many young people between the ages of 13 and 24 who are homeless and alone without the guardianship of a parent. Many ran away from home. What is your day like . It has been mainly focused on getting food and that is pretty much it. Its just food. Reporter some studies estimate there are between 1 personali1. 6 and 2. 8 unaccompanied youth that are homeless, so the department is focused on getting a more accurate count. How long have you been homeless . About two months. Reporter volunteers, some recently homeless themselves, searched for homeless youth, but finding them can be difficult says the associate professor. Often the homeless will sleep on a friends couch for a couple of nights, next on an underpass, and they dont want to be associated with homeless. They dont want it to be their identity. So they do everything they can to appear to be a normal 20yearold. Because they are a normal 20yearold. Reporter the advocates say the counts will help with a federally funded program to help these youth. Hunts goal is to help them. There just needs to be more there just needs to be more people caring and r no matter who was in there last. Protection.

The grueling race to alaska getting under way this morning in townsend, washington, a 750mile ocean marathon and the rules are simple, you cant use a motor. Reporter its a wednesday afternoon in port townsend, washington, just hours before the annual race to alaska gets started and sailors like matt johnson are nervously making final adjustments. If youre here for the swap meet youre in the wrong place. Reporter while crew captains get a final briefing of sorts. If you are here to take a challenge make it your own and create a story that may live in your life forever you are in the right place. Yeah reporter and what a challenge it is. The race to alaska is one of the more unusual, more punishing events in american sport. A grueling 750mile boat race from port townsend, to ketchikan, alaska, with just one rule, no motors. So its a gnarly piece of coast, truly one of the most wild places on earth. Reporter and this is from the guy behind the race. Jake beady. The tide is really fierce, and when the wind howls the sea is incredibly dangerous. Reporter last year, some 200 sailors entered the race, some in row boats and pedal boats, others in high tech equipment. Not to mention dinghys, and sails, some went it alone. The good thing about being alone, you win all the ar arguments, you dont know who will win it, but one will win it. Reporter one big challenge that Thomas Nielsen figured out is trying to sleep while out on the water. Seven hours of sleep, im on my third day and seven hours of sleep. Reporter food is another problem. Lugging it along and sometimes forcing yourself to even eat it. We have been really trying to shovel the food down, which is surprisingly not that easy. The hunger and like enjoyment of food as a ritual has just kind of disappeared. On the pedal drive. Reporter and maybe the toughest struggle of all at least for the sail boats is what to do when the wind is not blowing. I was thinking like oh, you know, we may get ten hours of rowing in throughout the whole trip, and we have been doing about 16 hours a day. Reporter race founder, jake beady. Removing the ability for you to depend on a little button that starts a motor it changes your relationship to the water when there is no get out of jail free card. Reporter and no fun for matt johnson, who maye the biggest sacrifice of the entire race before it even started. This is all your wine and beer money . This is all of my wine and beer money, yes, it really paid off. Reporter johnson, a competitive cyclist, redirected that money to pay for the single seat pedalpowered boat that he worked on for months in his garage. So you do not expect to win this race with your boat . I dont expect to win. Reporter then some may ask why do it . Because i want to see how far or fast i can do. Reporter as it turned out, not that far, johnson broke a pontoon just moments befo s in race, and had to turn back, but he was not alone. Almost half the teams never even made it to alaska. And those that did endured pungent weeks at sea. Moving us along. But there are moments of beauty out there. With the dolphins and the whales. This crew, team mad dog, didnt have time to take in all the scenery, though, they sailed day and night for four straight days, sleeping in 20 minute shifts and winning in record time. Their prize . 10,000. Barely enough to tow the boat home from alaska. Second prize . And were not kidding here. Is a set of steak knives. To reach ketchikan you have to build your even little victory, every hour of every day. Reporter despite the dangers, no one has died in the race yet but limits have been and will be pushed. And then broken. [ bell ringing ] reporter which is just how race founder jake beady likes it. I have never met a more powerful teacher than the sea and i am excited for people to have those teachable moments on the water. No motors allowed. There is also a race, nasa, as well as other companies intend to send men and women to mars. More on the concept vehicle. Reporter with six wheels and a distinctive alien design, tourists at the visitor complex have no idea what to make of this machine. This is a new mars rover concept vehicle, standing 11 feet tall, 24 feet long and 13 feet wide. What takes longer . Your design or you putting it together . The giant rover is the brain child of the parker brothers, shannon and mark. The two made their names in hollywood, designing and building movie props, most notably, the futuristic motorcycles in the movie tron. So no doors on mars, you have to enter through the back. Reporter shannon designed the rover, mark and his team did the dirty work, putting together the event in less than five months. There is almost nothing in this vehicle that was not built in our shop. Nothing was ordered out of a catalogue, we built the chassis, the frame, the interior, the seats, the glass, everything on this vehicle had to be built completely from scratch. Some of this is for design, you know just for it to look cool. Other things i thought it would be important to have. Im being very delicate with it, but this is the speed you would end up going on mars. Reporter the inside of the rover seats four and drives like an suv. But there is also a mock lab in the back where the astronauts could possibly conduct experiments, some of it designed with exploration in mind. So we needed a good surface for the rock to climb over, but we needed a lot of surface so when you get into the sand it will not sink but also it has vents in it so it wont clog up. So it can go through really deep sand and not get stuck and clog up. Reporter the brothers consulted with astronauts to build the machine. But this vehicle will not go to mars, instead it is on a mission to education scientists. U. S. Astronaut john mcbride flew two Space Shuttle missions and said the first person on mars is closer than we think. We think the first person on mars is 18 years old as we think. So these guys through fifth grade, somewhere in college, were after. Reporter the folks here hope it will generate enthusiasm like in 2012 when the unmanned curiosity rover no matter who was in there last. Protection.

Reporter its shortly after 8 00 a. M. On a typical morning, and these two are getting ready for work. They live within blocks of each other in oakland, california. But have never met. Hey, good morning. Good morning, how are you . May i join you for your commute here . Both women work about ten miles away across the bay in downtown San Francisco and both face the same frustrating traffic obstacle known as the maze, three major interstates all converge at the east end of the bridge, creating a bottleneck that often delays drivers for more than an hour. For almost 40 years, the solution for thousands of commuters like christianson and gould, is just a casual commute. Hi, good morning. How are you . Good, how are you. Reporter at more than 20 locations scattered throughout the east bay region people who need a ride into San Francisco line up each weekday morning and pulls up. Its like ad hoc car pooling. Reporter typically, the rider is expected to chip in a dollar for the toll. Oh, thank you. Reporter but the real draw for these passengers gives them access to this. A restricted car pool lane onto the bridge. Big traffic jam, wow, so doing this were saving 35 minutes, Something Like that . Probably. Probably about that, yeah. About 6,000 people are doing this daily. Reporter university of california berkeley researcher susan shahin is one of a few social scientists who studied this 40yearold phenomenon that was born during a crippling 1970 transit strike. We found the medium wait time for a driver was just two minutes and they were doing this long before lift and uber. Reporter the casual car pooling is done without an app, and it just works. Its completely organic. Reporter here we are in the home of high tech and this lowtech system is thriving and has been for years. You dont need an app to do everything. There are ways to live your life without that. Reporter while some casual car poolers are attracted to the systems appeal, many feel it was the modern sharing economy that erased fears about getting into a strangers car. The tech world has actually made us a little bit more trusting of people around us, because we hop in the car all the time with uber drivers and lift drivers. Yeah, i feel like if you can rent a room in a strangers apartment and sleep comfortably then you can get a ride with a stranger in a city. Okay, thanks for the ride. Thank you. Reporter in an age where people claim that uber has taken many pool rides, casual car pool is the little Transit System that predates them all. And shows no signs of slowing down. For years, the Veterans Administration has been criticized for not doing more to find housing for homeless vets. Well, there is a new program in california that gets these former warriors off the streets. Youre serving your country, you just do what your told. Reporter dale dollar was just 22 when he left the marines, but as a businessman, he found himself out of work and eventually out on the street, homeless for 14 years until he moved into potters lane. This place, they dont talk about it. They walk the walk and talk the talk. Reporter this was built for Homeless Veterans, but that is not what makes it unique. Its the first multifamily building put together entirely by shipping containers. Most of the 1200 monthly rent is subsidized by the manager, and the group behind the project. In Orange County on any given night there are between 400 and 450 Homeless Veterans which for us is a national crime. There should be no Homeless Veterans. Reporter it took four months to create the shipping containers that were previously used to transport dry goods, into containers that are five feet. While these containers are Strong Enough to be stacked ten feet high, organizers kept it small for a reason. When you deal with people who have been homeless and you warehouse them in 300 units youre not creating a safety net for people. Youre not creating a Human Connection with people. The concept here is called housing first. Find a home for them like we found here. Then you surround them with social services. Reporter kurt carson also served in the marines and like dale he lived along the Santa Ana River bed for six years. If you cant get mail or go somewhere to clean up, and you dont have any place where you can you know, have a phone number then how do you think somebody will be in society . Its not going to happen. Reporter after more than ten years without a roof over his head dale dollar is finally able to cook a warm meal in his own kitchen. Its quite a place, you know you come in, you have been sleeping in a tent and on the dirt, rocks for years, and find a place beautiful like this . I been blessed more than i should have been.
