Reporter bill clinton is always a popular draw on the Democratic Campaign trail, but donald trump is warning hillary under wraps. If hillary thinks she can unleash her husband with terrible record of women abuse, trump said on twitter, while playing the womens card on me, shes wrong. Trump raised the specter of bill clintons previous sex scandals after Hillary Clinton said trump has a penchant for sexism.

Tonight iraqi troops are on the verge of retaking a key city from isis, a city where americans fought and died during the iraq war. David martin reports on the new battle for ramadi. Reporter iraqi soldiers planted their National Flag atop ramadis Government Center. [gunfire] breaking the death grip isis held over the city just 70 miles west of baghdad. Iraqi officials declared ramadi liberated, but u. S. Officials cautioned isis still holds neighborhoods in the north and east. Housetohouse fighting against snipers and booby traps. Fighting has reduced parts of the city to rubble and a return to normal life any time soon is difficult to imagine. Still, taking back this city marked a major milestone for an army which last may had abandoned ramadi in the face of an assault by a much smaller number of isis fighters. It also validated the american strategy of training and equipping iraqi Ground Troops and backing them up with strikes from the air. A total of 630 in and around ramadi. Pentagon officials said the operation was a complex one which required the iraqi army first to encircle the city and then to cross rivers where the bridges had been blown. The american strategy for dislodging isis seems to be gaining traction. But no u. S. Official is willing to second the iraqi prime ministers bold claim that 2016 would see the final defeat of defense secretary carter called the retaking of ramadis Government Center a significant step but added, the fight against isis is far from over.

Finally tonight, Meadowlark Lemon famously said it was his destiny to make people happy. That he did through 24 years and by his count 16,000 performances with the harlem globetrotters. Lemon died yesterday in arizona. Don dahler looks back. [harlem globetrotters theme music playing] reporter during his heydey in the 70s, there was arguably no more wellknown and beloved athlete in the world. He starred in commercials. Im a whiz at this whopper reporter and on saturday morning tv. Thats why i am your leader. I think of those things. Reporter but it was on the court that the man referred to by some as the clown prince of basketball reigned supreme. Meadowlark lemon made it look so easy, the hook shots, the no look passes, the comic routines. The great Wilt Chamberlain called meadowlark the most sensational, awesome, incredible basketball player hed ever seen. After watching a newsreel of the globetrotters when he was 11, lemon decided that, not the nba, would be his future. During his 2003 induction into the Basketball Hall of fame, the wilmington, north carolina, native described the moment. I made my own hoop out of a coat hanger and onion sack. For my basketball i had a carnation milk can. Id grab that pole and i would swing along and i would learn how to shoot that hook shot. Reporter the globetrotters played to larger crowds than theyre credited with helping desegregate the sport. After leaving the globetrotters in 1979, lemon eventually became a minister, but every day he would head to the gym to play the game he loved, the game that loved him back. Ive had a wonderful time and the best is yet to come. Reporter Meadowlark Lemon was 83. Don dahler, cbs news, new york. That is the cbs overnight news for this tuesday.

Captions by vitac this is the cbs overnight news. Welcome to the overnight news. Im don dahler. The Iraqi Military is claiming a partial victory in its battle against the islamic state. Iraqi troops backed by u. S. Air power managed to fight their way into the center of ramadi, a provincial capital just an hours drive from baghdad. The city has been under isis control since may and has been under siege by iraqi forces for months. An iraqi general says that about a third of the city is still in enemy hands and the iraqis are dealing with snipers, booby traps and minefields. Debora patta has the story. Victory in ramadi after pushing isis out of a key government complex, with you a military source tells us that they are still facing pockets of resistance. Iraqi troops are taking over ramadi street by street, but progress has been hampered because the area is rigged with explosives. The offensive began six days ago, and it has been a tough fight. [ gunfire ] fierce gun battles raged as iraqi soldiers pushed their way into the heart of the city. Their target seizing back the main government compound. This is a far cry from when the iraqis suffered a humiliating defeat in ramadi. They were shown fleeing the city after isis captured it in may. It demonstrates a force capable of defeating isis on the ground, says former cia Deputy Director michael morrell. This is the first time the Iraqi Government has retaken territory from isis. So its significant in terms of getting its act together. Reporter recapturing ramadi will not only be a psychological boost for the Iraqi Military, the city is also in a key geographical location. Ramadi lies about 60 miles west of baghdad on a strategic road that leads into syria. The governments next major target will be the Northern City of mosul, the most densely populated area under isis control. Ramadi really is a test case of getting back mosul. Which remains the big prize for the iraqi troops. Regaining control in mosul would essentially deprive isis a major source of funding and influence. On the campaign trail, its shaping up to be a twohorse race between Hillary Clinton and donald trump. A new poll says if the election were held today, clinton would get 49 of the vote to 47 for trump. Trump continues to have problems with women voters. Of the gop frontrunner. Meanwhile, the battle between trump and clinton is getting personal. Major garrett reports. Reporter donald trump hasnt been seen in public for days but remains a campaign presence, continuing his feud with hillary and bill clinton while drawing economic fire from Bernie Sanders. Im winning. Im beating everybody. In my opinion, beating hillary is easier than beating these people. Reporter by that, trump means other republicans. He still hasnt won one contest, but trump is already plotting a general election run against Hillary Clinton. Ill tell you what, if you have another four years of like mentality and thinking, were left. Reporter after enduring criticism of sexism from Hillary Clintons camp, trump threatened to revive debate over bill clintons impeachment and revisit other clinton sex scandals. On twitter, trump alleged hes demonstrated a pen chant for irony, so inappropriate. Trump says bills past is fair game. It is fair game because his presidency was considered to be very troubled, to put it mildly, because of all the things shes talking to me about. Reporter clinton hasnt responded to trumps broad sides. But on sunday, her democratic rival Bernie Sanders accused trump of toying with frustrated voters, offering anger, vulgarity and bad policy. I think what trump has done successfully i would say is take that anger, take that anxiety about terrorism and say to a lot of people in this country look, the reason for our problems is because of mexicans and he says theyre all criminals and rapists. Reporter sanders also said that donald trump is favoring lowering peoples wages. On twitter, trump called that a lie. Bernie sanders also said that trump favors increasing tax cuts the Nonpartisan Tax Policy Center said last week trumps tax plan would provide an average tax cut of 1. 3 million a year to the top earners, and a cut of 2700 to middle income learners. Star quarterback Peyton Manning is promising a lawsuit against the al jazeera network, after it ran an investigative story alleging he used performance enhancing drugs. Jericka duncan has more on the allegations and mannings angry response. Reporter the allegations come from a former intern at a clinic manning attended for rehab in 2011. The source has since recanted his entire story. But the fivetime mvp isnt taking any chances, going on the offense and even hiring a former white house spokesman to handle the potential fallout. Absolutely not. Absolutely not. Reporter Peyton Manning fought back sunday, denying allegations he used human growth hormones while recovering from a healthy. And this guy is insinuating i broke nfl rules to get healthy. Its a joke. Its a freaking joke. Reporter that guy is charlie sly. He claimed to be an employer of an antiaging clinic in indianapolis that manning attended after undergoing four surgeries, including a neck fusion operation that caused him to miss the entire 2011 season. In an undercover investigation by al jazeera into the world of performance enhancing drugs and professional sports, sly claims manning and other top athletes used banned substances. All the time we would be sending Ashley Manning drugs, like a growth hormone, all the time everywhere and it would never be under peytons name. It was always under her name. Reporter the institute has denied these allegations and sly the statements on any recordings that al jazeera plans to air are absolutely false and incorrect. Reporter his account of his employment are also being questioned. The institute says he was an intern there for three months in 2013, two years after manning was a patient. Mannings current and former teams are rushing to his defense. In a statement, the Denver Broncos say they support him 100 , while his former team, the indianapolis colts, called the claims utterly ridiculous, saying manning never took any shortcuts and it would be absurd to think would have taken performance enhancing drugs. Over an 18year career, manning has built a flawless and incredibly valuable reputation. Peyton manning become the nfls alltime leader. Reporter shattering records and winning a super bowl ring.

For years, James Whitey Bulger was the most notorious mobster in boston. Then with the fbi on his trail, he and his longtime girlfriend just disappeared. They eluded the law for 14 years by hiding in plain sight in santa monica, california. They were pretending to be a husband and wife couple. Steve kroft spoke to their neighbors and the agents who caught them for 60 minutes. Reporter if youre forced into retirement with a desire to be left completely alone, there is no better place than santa monica, california. L. A. Is shared by transients, tourists, hippies and headonists, celebrities, and lots of senior citizens. Attracted to the climate, and an abundance of inexpensive, rent controlled apartments just a few places like this on third street, which is where charlie and carol gasco, a childless couple from chicago, lived for 14 years, without attracting much attention from longtime neighbors or landlords. Josh bond is the building manager. What were they like . They were like the nice, retired old couple that lived in the apartment next to me. Reporter good tenants . Excellent. Never complained, always paid rent on time. Reporter in cash . In cash. Lived down the hall. They had nothing. And they never went out. They never had food delivered. She never dressed nicely. Were poor . Yes, without a doubt. Reporter the one thing that everybody remembers is they loved animals. And always made a fuss over the barbara remembers that carol always fed a stray cat after its owner had died. She would, you know, pet it and be sweet to it. And then they would put a plate of food like out here. Reporter what about charlie . You know, he always had a hat on and dark glasses. I have to say, it was mysterious to me why a lovely woman like that was hanging out with that guy. That old, grumpy man. I never could figure that one out. Until i heard they had 800,000 in the wall. And then i went oh, okay. Reporter money wasnt the only thing found in the apartment on june 22, 2011. When the fbi stopped by and ended what it called the most extensive manhunt in the bureaus history. Weapons all over the apartment. I mean, weapons by the night stand, under the window sill, reporter what started out as a routine day for special agent gariola, would turn into one of the most interesting days of his career. After getting a call to stake out a building in santa monica, he notified his backup team with the lapd. I had four guys working that day. I said we got a tip on Whitey Bulger, ill see you there in about an hour. Invariably, texts were returned, whos Whitey Bulger . Reporter really . A few of them. I had to gently remind him who he was. Reporter that he was number one on the fbis most wanted list. Number one, yeah. Big east coast figure, but the west coast, not so much. Reporter the cops in l. A. Were focused on gang bangers and cartel members, not some retired irish mobster who hadnt been spotted in 16 years. But then few mobsters have ever been as infamous in the city as Whitey Bulger was in boston. Besides extortion and flooding the city with cocaine, he routinely performed or ordered executions. Some at close range, some with a hail of bullets. And at least one by strangulation, after which its said he took a nap. The special agent who ran the Whitey Bulger task force had heard it all. Bulger was charged with 19 counts of murder. He was charged with other crimes. He was a scourge to the society in south boston. His own community. Reporter he was also a scourge to the fbi and a great source of embarrassment to the fbi task force. Years earlier, he had infiltrated the Boston Office of the fbi, and bought off agents who protected him and supplied him with information, including the tip that allowed bulger to flee just before he was indicted. We had to catch this guy, to the other issues. It was just a matter of bringing this guy back to boston. Reporter they joined the task force in 2009. The joke was, bulger was on the fbis least wanted list. There hadnt been a credible lead in more than a decade, and their efforts in bulgers Old Neighborhood in south boston were met with mistrust and ridicule. Some people told us you arent looking for that guy. People made the assumption that we had him stashed somewhere. People really thought that kind of thing. Despite that mindset were not going to help you, the fbi still got it done. Reporter it took 16 years. It took 16 years. This was not a typical fugitive. Reporter the fbi said bulger planned his getaway years in advance, with money set aside and a fake identity for a thomas baxter. During his first two years on the lam, bulger was in touch with friends and family, shuttling between new york, chicago, and the resort town of grand isle, louisiana, where he was compromised. After that, it seemed as if he had disappeared from the face of the earth, except for the alleged sightings all over the world. How many of these tips do you think might have been true . There are thousands and thousands of tips and i dont think any of them were true. Reporter one of the obstacles is there were no good photographs of bulger or his longtime livein girlfriend, catherine greig, a former dental hygienist. The fbi noted that they shared a love of animals, especially dogs and cats, and asked veterinarians to be on the lookout. In were reports that greig once had Breast Implants in boston, so the task force reached out to physicians. Eventually they got a call from a dr. Donally, who located her files in storage. I was trying to leave the office early to catch one of my kids ball games. I said listen, im going to swing by in the morning and pick those up. Photos, too . They said yeah, we have photos. I said, well be there in 15 minutes. The Breast Implant lead produced a treasure trove of photographs that would help crack the case. The fbi decided to switch strategies, going after the girlfriend in order to catch the gangster. This is an announcement by the fbi. Reporter the fbi created this Public Service announcement. 60yearold greig is the girlfriend of 81yearold bulger. Reporter it ran in 14 markets on daytime talk shows, aimed at women. Call the tipline. Reporter and it didnt take long. The very next morning, the bulger task force got three messages from someone that used to live in santa monica, and was 100 certain that charlie and carol gasgo, apartment 303, were the people they were looking for. The descriptions and the age difference matched, and u. S. Marshal neil sullivan, who another piece of tantalizing information. The tipster described that they were caring for this cat and their love for this cat. So that was just one piece of the puzzle and the tip that just added up to saying, if this isnt them, its something we better check on immediately, because it sure sounds like them. Fbis computer database raised another red flag. Not for what it found but for what it didnt. Basically, like they were ghosts. No drivers license, no california i. D. Like they didnt exist. Reporter thats the apartment . That corner on the third floor. Reporter on the right hand side . Yep. Reporter by early afternoon, the fbi had set up a number of surveillance posts and had already met with the apartment manager josh bond to talk about his tenants. He closed the door, threw down a folder, opened it up and said are these the people that live in apartment 303 . Reporter did you say anything when you saw the pictures . [ bleep ]. Roim youre living next door to a gangster. I still cant really know who he was. Reporter but it didnt take long to figure it out. While the fbi was mulling his options, bond logged on to the wikipedia page. Im scrolling down, its like, oh, wow, this guy is serious. Murder, extortion. Then i get to the bottom and theres this thing from one of his old people saying, the last time i saw him he said when he goes out, hes going to have guns and be ready to take people with him. I thought maybe i shouldnt be involved in this. Reporter bond told the fbi he wasnt going to knock on the door because there was a note posted expressly asking people not to bother them. Carol told neighbors charlie was showing signs of dementia. So we were back there. Reporter so he devised a ruse involving their storage locker in the garage. It had the game gasco across it. And apartment 303. Call to tell them their locker had been broken into and he needed someone to come down and see if anything was missing. Carol said her husband would be right down. You just rushed him . Guns out, fbi, dont move. Fbi, get your hands up, hands went up right away. And then at that moment we told him to get on his knees and he gave us, yeah, he gave us i aint getting down on my fing knees. Reporter didnt want to get his pants dirty . Didnt want to get his pants dirty. Wearing white, seeing the oil, he didnt want to get his pants dirly. Reporter even at 81, this was a man used to being in control. I asked him to identify himself. That didnt go over well. He didnt me to fing identify myself. I said are you Whitey Bulger . He said yes. You can see the full report on our website, cbsnews. Com.
