Reporter the super pac branded Chris Christie an out of step liberal. Chris christie, liberal energyloving, obama care medicaid expanding president is enough.

Welcome to the overnight news. The latest political battle over gun control have both sides of the issue locked and loaded. An emotional president obama announced his new executive actions in the east room of the white house surrounded by family members of those killed in gun violence.

We maybe cant save everybody, but we can save some. Reporter and a political call to action. So the gun lobby may be Holding Congress hostage right now, but they cannot hold america hostage. We do not have to accept this is the price of security. Reporter the president called the actions common sense steps that respected the second amendment, and he expressed solidarity with the people who surrounded him at the white house a father who lost a 7yearold, the daughters of the pastor at a charleston church, and a congresswoman nearly killed after being shot in the head. A. The right to worship freely and safely, that right was denied to christians in charleston, south carolina. And that was denied jews in kansas city. And that was denied muslims in chapel hill and seikhs in oak creek. They had rights, too. The directives focused largely on background checks including, requiring all gun dealer, even those who sell fire armts at gun shows and the internet to be licensed and conduct background checks. Improve the Current System to hire more to make background checks more efficient and eeffective. Although the issue of stricter gun laws remains highly divisive, 92 of americans support background checks. But the president in the wake of the sandy hook shootings failed to get legislation through congress that would have expanded them. Today, he says he wants voters to kick ardent gun rights supporters out of office. This is not that complicated. The Reason Congress blocks laws is because they want to win elections. And if you make it hard for them to win an election, if they block those laws, theyll change course, i promise you. Now the president could face constitutional challenges that these actions exceed his president ial authority. But the nra in a statement indicated today that it may hold off, saying the actions dont really appear to change anything and are simply political theatre. Jan crawford, cbs news, the white house. The president s new gun control initiatives are all the talk on the campaign trail. Hillary clinton called the executive actions a crucial step forward on gun violence. But republican ted cruz says they arent worth the paper theyre written on. Major garret is in manchester, new hampshire, where five republican candidates spent the day stumping for votes. The battle for the republican nomination has reached a crucial and long anticipated turning point. The candidates are now turning on each other in tough tv ads. Meanwhile, bill clinton tried to deflect some of Donald Trumps tougher rhetoric, telling voters here, hes just a happy grandfather who isnt angry at anyone. I do not believe in my lifetime anyone has run for this job at a moment of great importance who was Better Qualified by knowledge, experience and temperament to do what needs to be done now.

Reporter republicans battling the Trump Campaign said it was unlikely that moroccan video gaffe is going to tarnish trump or his tv ad. Details for Trump Supporters they said is much less important than an overall message of strength in the face of perceived danger. One other thing, about the trump ad, it doesnt attack any republicans, only the president and Hillary Clinton. It turns out the militiamen occupying a Refugee Office in oregon didnt come prepared nor a long siege. It started out as a protest against the arrest of two ranchers for setting fires, and now the occupiers have taken to facebook asking for snacks and even clean socks. Don blackstone has the latest. Reporter there was not a single Law Enforcement officer to be seen for miles in the wilderness that surrounds the wildlife refuge headquarters. But the county sheriff david ward had a message for those occupying it. You said erp here to help the citizens of the county. That help ended when a peaceful protest became an armed occupation. The hammonds have turned themselves in. Its time for you to leave our community. Reporter the armed group says it has no plans to leave. They even showed us around the compound they took over. How many people are living in here . They refused to say how many have joined the group they called citizens for constitutional freedom. The leader ammon bundy tweeted, we have no intentions of using force upon anyone, but if force is used against us, we will defend ourselves. Theyre demanding an inquiry into why ranchers dwight and Steven Hammond were ordered back to prison for setting fires on federal land after they had already served prison time. It has been left to us to decide whether we allow these things to go on or whether we make a stand. So they will not happen to other people across this country. Reporter but many in the area who support the hammonds oppose the occupation. Its so imperative that we find ways to address these issues that are peaceful, that are the British Parliament is up in arms that reports that the latest murderous spokesperson for the Islamic State was arrested sick times in england on terrorrelated offenses.

Later using his isis name, posted a photoof him holding a gun and his fifth child. In a recent video that shows the execution of five men, the man thought to be dhar is masked. In it, he taunts the British Government. How strange it is that a leader of a small island dhars sister says she cant be sure the masked man is her brother. I think its a bit hard to say gwynn what ive seen. Im not entirely convinced that it is. My honest opinion is that it might not be. Reporter but many other people who knew dhar think it probably is. One of the hundreds of british citizens now in syria, including this little boy, who appears at the end of the video. Hes thought to be about 4 years old. To establish the identity of that masked man conclusively, British Intelligence services are going to examine as much as they can of his face behind the mask and also compare his voice with samples that they already have on file.

How they are polluting our lakes and rivers. Reporter the bill known as the microbead free waters act is designed to eliminate tiny bit of plastic from products many of us use every day. Microbeads are found in many health and beauty products, incruding soap, body scrub and toothpaste. They are generally used to exfoliate or add polish. No bigger than a grain of salt, these microplastics are a big concern for environmental scientists. They say the tiny particles are a farmful. This scientist and his team study plastic pollution in waters around the world. Hes found microbeads in the San Francisco bay and in high concentrations in the great lakes. Not all Water Treatment plants are able to filter them out. Theyre absorbing industrial chemicals, pesticides from farms, even oil drops from cars will stick to these microplastics and microbeads. At that point, they can enter the food chain. A single cosmetic product can contain up to 300,000 nonbiodegradable microbeads. In september, california banned sales of product containing microbeads. Richard bloom authors the legislation and is thrilled that congress is following californias lead. Its very significant. Youre going to have 50 states doing the same thing. I have no doubt this is going to spread now to other country. And the longer we have these pollutants in the environment, the harder it is to take action to effectively clean up after them. Reporter the law passed surprisingly quickly, but its not immediate. The law prohibits the manufacture of products containing microbeads as of july 1, 2017. Well be right back.

Its not unusual to be loved by anyone the first time you heard its not unusual, you knew it was something for you . Yes. I said i have to have this song. Ive got to have it. Reporter the problem was that jones manager, gordon mills who cowrote the song wanted to give it to another singer. But jones was told he could record the demo. He said oh, i can write a million of those. He never did. He never wrote another one like that. Reporter but when that other singer, sandy shaw, turned down the tune, jones got his chance.

We. But he said we. I thought wow. Putting me in the same yeah, exactly. That was a big compliment to me. Then i would be talking to Frank Sinatra. At the galleria bar in caesars palace. And he said youve got a great jazz voice, tom. Leave that pop stuff. You got to come with me. I said frank, i love it all. I do. That obviously worked for you, but sometimes its probably worked against you, too. Because people dont know where to put you. Exactly. Thats the problem.

Are you with me . Some of americas favorite cocktails were actually invented overseas. Take, for instance, the bloody mary. We found the origins in paris. This was an old bar that had been shipped to paris. Harry bought it after the first guy went broke. From shipping that bar to paris. Anyway, this obvious american bar has a singular, one might even say historic distinction. Back in the 1920s, a bartender here mixed worcester sauce with tabasco, salt and pepper, mixed it i love the way he does this, look. Dont forget the vodka. And tomato juice. Thats key. Harrys is where the bloody mary was born. The bloody mary, its a brunch staple for when you need some of the hair of the dog. Well its a bloody mary morning in the 1920s as prohibition closed bars in the united states, some american bartenders came to france looking for work. They brought a new idea to the french, cocktails, mixed drinks, to a country used to drinking wine. At the same time, paris was a refuge for a lot of russians escaping the communist revolution back home. And they brought this new stuff called vodka. Now, there are a lot of different versions of how the drink was created. The most widely accepted is that a barman at harrys found vodka too bland. So he added tomato juice and spices to give it some flavor, as the henry family from massachusetts can attest to. Very good. Perfectly spiced. Its bloody because of the tomato juice. And mary is believed to have been someones girl friend. But after a few of these, who remembers the details. Its a versatile drink that inspires many interpretations. At a mexican restaurant, its made with tequila. Blood by maria. At a sake bar, its made with a japanese vodka and wasabe. Three generations later, harry is still owned by the same family, and they claim that last year, they told more than 12,000 bloody marys. Everyone wanted to try the bloody mary at the bar.
