This is the cbs evening news with scott pelley. Pelley today, the United States and britain announced new restrictions aimed at heading off a terror attack aboard an incoming jetliner. Electronic devices larger than a cell phone cannot be carried into the cabin. That means that laptops and tablets must be checked. But for the u. S. , this ban affects only Foreign Airlines arriving from eight, mostly muslim countries. And for britain, foreign and British Airline arriving from six mostly muslim countries. Jim axelrod now on whats behind all this. Reporter a u. S. Official tells cbs news the Electronics Ban is designed to avied repeat of scenes like this one in somalia 13 months ago when a bomber detonated a laptop packed with explosives just after takeoff. Miraculously, the pilot was able to land, and only the bomber was killed. Analysts are now convinced al qaeda has developed the capacity to hide explosives within batteries of the size used in laptops and tablets. Phone batteries arent big enough to be included in the ban. White House Press Secretary sean spicer terrorist groups continue to target commercialave expaigz are aggressive in pursuing innovative methods to undertake their attacks. Reporter whiewl whooil u. S. Intelligence reports no specific plorkt the ban will cover passengeron Nine Airlines heading to the u. S. Each day from 10 airports in eight middle eastern and north african exrips u. S. Carriers are not included, as they do not fly directly from the designated airports. The bombing in somalia depended on airport workers in mogadishu, seen on the bottom right, affiliated with the terror group al shabaab, handing the explosivepacked laptop to the bomber after security. U. S. Officials worry about something similar. How does banning laptops from the cabin create less risk than if theyre packed into luggage and cargo holds . Manuel gomez is a former f. B. I. Agent. Its not impossible that they could find a way to get a laptop inside of a plane and detonate it remotely, or even on a time, but its much more challenging for them, and its a much more sophisticate type of bombing than it would just be if they have the laptop device on their seat in a plane. Reporter roughly 50 flights a day to the u. S. Would fall under the ban, but it is not clear how these measures would stop a terrorist with a laptop from just using an airline or an airport, scott, not included in the ban. Pelley Jim Axelrod Furst tonight. Jim, thank you. Well, yesterday, the f. B. I. Director confirmed he is investigating whether anyone in the Trump Campaign colluded with russia to sway the election. Jeff pegues tells us tonight what hes learned about this, beginning with the man who once ran the Trump Campaign. Reporter one of Paul Manaforts most vocal critics is in ukraine. Today, i present the documents signed by paul manafort. Reporter politician Serhiy Leschenko claims to have proof that manafort, President Trumps former campaign chairman, was part of a Money Laundering scheme in 2009. Leschenko says this contract shows manafort was paid 750,000 for about 500 computers. But leschenko says the money was actually for work manafort had done on behalf of former ukrainian president viktor yanukovich, who had ties to the kremlin and russian president vladimir putin. This payment, as we know, can proof was done to the paul manafort. Reporter manafort spokesperson questioned the validity of the documents and said the allegations are baseless. Manafort was hired by the Trump Campaign in march of 2016, beginning in june, websites with alleged ties to russia, dcleaks, loosier 2. 0 and wikileaks began releasing data. At yesterdays hearing, f. B. I. Director comey confirmed the bureau opened its investigation in late july. That same month, thencandidate trump encouraged more cyberattacks on his rival, hillary clinton. Russia, if youre listening, i hope youre able to find the 30,000 emails that are missing. Reporter then in august, manafort left the Campaign Amid questions about his ties to the former prorussian ukrainian leader. As part of its investigation, the f. B. I. Is trying to determine whether there was any coordination between the Trump Campaign and russian officials, but according to this declassified intelligence assessment, the russian hacking efforts date back to as aerlz 2015. Eric oneill say former f. B. I. Counterintelligence operator. There are no hackers. There are only spies. Reporter you think so. A spy is someone who is stealing information to further a cause or to gain information that helps the policies of their grveght or as we have seen in recent years, disrupt another government. Reporter yesterday, director comey suggested that it was possible that people colluded with russia without knowing it. Scott, Law Enforcement calls those people cooptees. Pelley jeff pegues in washington. Jeff, thank you. Well, that russia investigation and mr. Trumps false claim that his phones were tapped are eroding his credibility on capitol hill. Just as he faces one of the biggest votes of his presidency. Today, capitalists on wall street worried about how much Political Capital he has. The dow was off more than 237 points, the biggest drop of the year on concerns that the obamacare replacement wont pass, and mr. Trumps tax cuts could be threatened next. Today, the president tried to convince skeptical members of his party. The Health Care Vote is scheduled for thursday, the outcome still uncertain. Margaret brennan is following this. This. We had a great meeting and i think were going to get a winner vote. Reporter on capitol hill, President Trump tried to unite conservatives behind the newly revised Republican Health care plan. Theyre going to be adjustments made but i think well get the vote on thursday. Reporter mr. Trump warned members of his own party they could lose their seats and possibly their majority if they vote no. Speaker paul ryan we made a promise. Now is our time to keep that promise, and we keep our promise and the people will reward us. If we dont keep our promise, it will very hard to manage this. Reporter ryan and the white house have revised the bill to entice conservatives agreeing to freeze medicaid expansion, provide states an optional work requirement for medicaid, and give more help to Older Americans for insurance. That still may not be enough. In the meeting today, President Trump called out Freedom Caucus chair mark meadows for his opposition. But that didnt change the North Carolina conservatives vote. Im still a no because the bill that were currently considering, does not lower premiumes for the vast majority of americans. Reporter well, republicans can only afford to lose about 21 votes, scott. The latest vote count shows at least 23 conservatives against it, putting the bill on the cusp of failure. Pelley Margaret Brennan at the white house tonight.

Reporter to the emergency room. I had to wake up at 3 00 in the morning to be there early. Reporter you want to be the first person in line. To be the first person in line to get inside to go to the e. R. Reporter durand now volunteers coaching soccer. Hes recovered from quadruple bypass surgery last year, and dreads any change that could leave him without insurance yet again. Anything happen, im going to die. Not only me, many others. Reporter is this keeping you up at night . Yes, yes, it is. I see faces and see smiles and i feel that they might be slipping away. Reporter in 2015, Community Health centers served more than 24 Million People. Erie Family Health center anticipates that proposed changes to medicaid could drop medicaid coverage of their patients by as much as 85 . Pelley jon lapook, thank you, doctor.

She weighs less than nine pounds, and when her sticklike arms are measured it shows up red on the tape measure. The marker says red. What does that mean . It means the chyle is severely malnourishes.

Pelley judge neil gorsuch was a witness in his own defense today as he was crossexamined by senators judging whether he will join the nations highest court. Heres chief Legal Correspondent jan crawford. Reporter throughout the day, democrats pressed judge gorsuch on his views. Can you do yes or no . Its taking a lot of time to get what i would think would be a fairly simple answer. Just want a yes or no, thats all. Reporter and throughout the day this was gorsuchs response. Im not going to say anything here that would give anybody any idea how id rule in any case like that. I think thats the beginning of the end of the independent judiciary. I dont think this is simple stuff at all, senator. I think this is hard stuff. Reporter gorsuch has served on the federal bench for more than a decade, as the senators grilled him on key,abortion, terrorism, and gun rights, gorsuch didnt tip his hand. At times, the harvard law graduate came across more relaxed than some of the senates more senior democrats like vermonts patrick leahy. Im a lawyer from a small town. Right, ive heard that story. Reporter republicans like south carolinas Lindsey Graham use their time to try to fend off democratic attacks and show gorsuchs independence from President Trump. Did he ever ask you to overrule roe v. Wade . No, senator. What would you have done if he had asked . Senator, i would have walked up on the the door. Reporter as the day went on, democrats had had enough. The neil gorsuch in these emails seems to be very, very familiar with politics. Reporter minnesotas al franken quoted emails gorsuch wrote in 2004 when he wanted to joint bush administration. I spent in sometime in ohio working on the election. This is you. What a magnificent result for the country. For me, personally the experience invigorating and a great deal of fun. Now, that doesnt sound like someone who steers clear of politics to me. Reporter now, no democrat has said they will vote for gorsuch, and, scott, right now, for him to get confirmed, eight would have to break away and join with republicans. Pelley jan crawford for us. Jan, thank you. Still ahead, first familyitize. E may weigh on your mind. Thinking about what to avoid, where to go, and how to work around your uc. Thats how i thought it had to be. But then i talked to my doctor about humira, and learned humira can help get and keep uc under control. When certain medications havent worked well enough. Humira can lower your ability to fight infections, including tuberculosis. Serious, sometimes fatal infections and cancers, including lymphoma, have happened; as have blood, liver, and nervous system problems, serious allergic reactions, and new or worsening heart failure. Before treatment, get tested for tb. Tell your doctor if youve been to areas where certain fungal infections are common and if youve had tb, hepatitis b, are prone to infections, or have flulike symptoms or sores. Dont start humira if you have an infection. Raise your expectations and ask your gastroenterologist if humira may be right for you. With humira, control is possible. But with my back pain i couldnt sleep or get up in time. Then i found aleve pm. The only one to combine a safe sleep aid plus the 12 hour pain relieving strength of aleve. And now. Im back aleve pm for a better am. As after a dvt blood clot,ital i sure had a lot to think about. What about the people i care about . Including this little girl. And what if this happened again . I was given warfarin in the hospital, but wondered, was this the best treatment for me . So i asked my doctor. And he recommended eliquis. Eliquis treats dvt and pe blood clots and reduces the risk of them happening again. Yes, eliquis treats dvt and pe blood clots. Eliquis also had significantly less major bleeding than the standard treatment. Both made me turn around my thinking. Dont stop eliquis unless your doctor tells you to. Eliquis can cause serious and in rare cases fatal bleeding. Dont take eliquis if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. If you had a spinal injection while on eliquis call your doctor right away if you have tingling, numbness, or muscle weakness. While taking eliquis, you may bruise more easily. And it may take longer than usual for bleeding to stop. Seek immediate medical care for sudden signs of bleeding, like unusual bruising. Eliquis may increase your bleeding risk if you take certain medicines. Tell your doctor about all planned medical or dental procedures. Eliquis treats dvt and pe blood clots. Plus had less major bleeding. Both made eliquis the right treatment for me. Ask your doctor if switching to eliquis is right for you. Pelley as anyone named trump can tell you, the real estate mantra is location, location, location. Now, ivanka trump, the former executive Vice President of her fathers company, has laid claim to a few square feet of prime property just steps from the oval office. Heres anna werner. Reporter President Trump has kept his daughter ivanka close by his side at recent highprofile meetings like with germanys angela merkel, and canadas Prime Minister justin trudeau. Now, along with a west wing office, shes getting a security clearance. Why . Her Attorney Says its to make sure any classified information she sees is protected. Her role in the white house, said her attorney Jamie Gorelick in a statement, is to advise her father and assist on initiatives that are important to her. Raising children. Reporter initiatives including child care, mentioned by mr. Trump last september. And im very grateful to her for her work, her efforts. Reporter in an interview last may with cbs this mornings norah odonnell, trump herself described how she might interact with her father. I give him my opinion and perspective on anything that im interested in speak about or hes interested and receptive in hearing about. Reporter now she says shes voluntarily placing her assets into a trust controlled by relatives. And yesterday, she said in a statement she will voluntarily follow all of the ethics rules placed on government employees. The white house maintains she wont be paid, and she wont be an employee, but richard painter, who was chief white house ethics lawyer for president george w. Bush and part of a conflict of interest lawsuit against President Trump, says this is not optional. When she is performing government functions in a Government Office building, including the west wing of the white house, she is without a doubt a government employee. Reporter well, painter says given that ivanka trump maintains ownership of her businesses, white house staff should be careful to keep her out of trade discussions, for example, over textiles, scott, to avoid any possible violation of the law. Pelley because of her fashion lines. Anna werner, thanks very much. Up next, rescue dogs become therapy dogs.
