President donald trump addressing the joint session of stronger is rebuilding a newborns heart. And restoring a fathers faith. Its standing tall after one surgery. Not six. Stronger is being a typical kid. Despite a rare disorder. Stronger is finding it earlier. And coming home sooner. Stronger is seeking answers. And not giving up, until you find them. Because we dont just want your kids to grow up. We want them to grow up stronger. The president s address is getting mixed reviews on capitol hill. Heres nancy cordes. Reporter House Republicans were briefed this morning on their partys plan to replace obamacare. North carolinas mark meadows didnt like what he heard. The final result of where we are today is not something that i support. Reporter the plan being finalized by gop leaders and the white house replaces some obamacare subsidies with tax credits to help people buy insurance. Conservatives like virginias dave brat say thats just another handout. Some of the stuff in there is just not what we promised people for six years. Its not a repeal of obamacare. Reporter there were more warning signs in the senate where republicans can afford just two gop defections. Three conservatives tweeted that a full repeal is the bare minimum theyll accept. This. Reporter House Speaker paul ryan insisted the holdouts will come around. There was also a lot of churning today over the president s proposal to cut foreign aid and move that money to defense. In a letter to congressional leaders, 120 retired military officers argued diplomatic dollars are critical to preventing conflict. Former air force general richard hally. The last thing we want to do is go into a place, break a bunch of glass and not have any clue how to put it back together. Reporter he found a powerful ally in mitch mcconnell. Do you think the senate could approve a budget that slashes state Department Funding by about a third . Probably not. I, for one, just speaking for myself, think the diplomatic portion of the federal budget is very important. And you get results a lot cheaper frequently than you do on the defense side. Reporter just yesterday, the president s were exactly the same, but clearly they diverge on this, scott, and mcconnell told me he simply hasnt had a chance to talk it over with the president yet. Nancy cordes, thanks. There is a controversy tonight inside u. S. Intelligence over whether the Trump Administration is exaggerating the threat from muslim countries. Debates inside and among intelligence agencies are standard and even encouraged. But jeff pegues reports this is different, because some analysts believe theyre being pressured to report the results that the white house wants to hear. Im establishing new vetting measures to keep radical islamic terrorists out of the United States of america. Reporter when President Trump signed his executive order banning travel from seven predominantly muslim countries, he said he was keeping the country safe from terrorists. But within the department of charged with carrying out the order, intelligence analysts are still split on the threat. Former and current government source say the dhss Intelligence Unit is so divided, some employees are considering asking for protection as whistleblowers or hiring lawyers. Thats because their conclusions do not match those of the white house. Last week, this internal dhs intelligence document was leaked to the media. It determined citizens of the seven banned countries were rarely implicated in u. S. Based terrorism. Even though the document was prepared by experienced intelligence officers, it was rejected by dhs leadership. And the white house pressed for a new assessment. Sources say the contributors do the original document refused to work on the final product, concerned that the process had been tainted by politics. Spokesperson told us that other federal Law Enforcement agencies document. Scott, dhs officials believe the document lacked classified and sensitive Law Enforcement information that would have provided a complete intelligence assessment. Jeff pegues for us tonight. Jeff, thank you. The midwest is being hit tonight by severe storms, including some tornadoes. Funnel clouds were spotted near interstate 80 in walcott, iowa. And the National Weather service says a number of twisters barreled through northern illinois. Damage has been reported outside chicago. Mr. Trump will emphasize the war on terror tonight, and he will be able to claim the head of the number two leader of al qaeda. David martin reports it was a cia drone strike over the weekend. Reporter this is the only known picture of abu al mazri, which helps explain why he survived for so long as one of al qaedas most senior leaders. But his luck ran out on sunday, when, according to u. S. Officials, a cia drone strike scored a direct hit on his car in northwestern syria. A soninlaw of osama bin laden, he has been implicated in the 1998 bombings of two american embassies in africa, which killed more than 200 people. The name means hes from egypt, was a longtime confidant of al zawah zawahri. In the years after 9 11, al masri fled to iran and spent a decade under house arrest, but also beyond the reach of american drone strikes. After his release, he went to syria, where al qaeda has been attempting to take advantage of the chaos caused by the civil war to establish a new base of operations. He was back in business but also back in range of drone strikes. On sunday, the cia found him one last time. Isis is the main target, but now drones have killed about ten senior Al Qaeda Leaders in syria, in the 2 1 2 years since the u. S. Began conducting air strikes there. Scott . David martin at the pentagon. David, thank you. Coming up next, hundreds of women who worked for a huge jewelry chain claim they are victims of sexual misconduct.

Living well hundreds of women who worked for some of the bestknown Jewelry Stores in america claimed that they were groped, demeaned, and pressured for sex on the job. They filed suit and Manuel Bojorquez has their story. You do think that people arent going to believe what happened. Reporter Kristin Henry says she was the 22yearold manager of this kay jewelers near orlando, when she attended a Managers Conference and was cornered in a hotel room. I was forcefully kissed and touched in ways that i didnt want to be. Reporter this was a superior . It was a superior, yes. Reporter henry says she phoned the companys tip line to report the incident but was fired two days later after accusations over a missing gold chain, a claim she says was made up. You feel like somebody that you trusted and somebody that you were told to look up to and gain experience from was physically able to destroy your career. Reporter henrys allegation stemmed from an ongoing class action arbitration case filed in 2008, against signet jewelers, the Parent Company of retailers kay, zales, and jared, for gender discrimination and pay inequality. 69,000 former employees joined the case. Sworn statements from nearly 250 of them alleged a Corporate Culture of sexual misconduct, ranging from inappropriate advances to a good old boys network. In one allegation, in front of a female secretary, one manager asked another, are you doing her . Signet denies any wrongdoing saying in part we have taken the allegations of pay and promotions discrimination raised ins we have thoroughly investigated the allegations and have concluded they are not substantiated by the facts and certainly do not reflect our culture. Attorneys say a trial is scheduled to begin early next year on the broader question of gender and pay discrimination. Scott, the Company Points out none of the women in the class action has filed a legal claim of sexual harassment. Manuel bojorquez, thanks. Coming up, an alarming increase in Colorectal Cancer among young americans. Make the most of a few minutes with instant moisture from ky ultragel. Theres a new study out today that sounds an alarm for younger americans. It says that those born in 1990 have double the risk of colon cancer as those born in 1950. And for rectal cancer, the rate is quadruple. We asked jon lapook for the story behind the numbers. Reporter at first, rhea buckner didnt think much of her stomach cramps. I sort of assumed that was just part of getting older. I had just turned 30, and i have to be careful with spicy foods now. Reporter but it turned out to be something far more serious colon cancer. Youre 30 years old. You find out you have colon cancer, and it spread to your ovary, your liver, lymph nodes. What are you thinking . I didnt even think that young people could get colon cancer. I really thought that it was, like, an old persons disease or, like, an old mans disease. Reporter todays study shows a disturbing trend among millennials and gen xers, with colon cancer rates since the mid1980s increasing 1 to 2. 4 a year but declining for those over 55, likely because colonoscopy in that group removes benign polyps before they can turn cancerous. Current guidelines suggest starting routine screening at age 50. After chemo and multiple surgeries, buckner, now 34, has had no evidence of cancer for three years. Dr. Daniel labow is her surgeon at mount sinai hospital in new york city. Why would it be increasing under the age of 50 . Some of the studies have shown reflected on diet, sedentary lifestyle, increased fat, things like that in the diet that are now affecting people younger and younger. Reporter those are all risk factors for colon cancer. Scott, the authors now say screening should now be considered before the currently recommended age of 50. And, clearly, doctors and patients need to Pay Attention to unexplained symptoms such as bleeding, abdominal discomfort, and change in bowel habits. Lifesaving information, dr. Jon lapook. Thank you. Postal workers wrote to help we end tonight with a look back at a shameful chapter in american history, and a book that helped guide African Americans through it safely. Heres mark strassmann. Reporter there was a time when traveling black americans seldom felt the freedom of the open road. When you pulled up to a service station, to a restaurant, to a hotel, you never knew what was going to greet you when you walked in. Reporter curtis graves, now 78, remembers seeing america in the 1940s and 50s from the back seat of his parents car. We went to california. We went to florida. We went to chicago. We went we went all over the place. Reporter do you remember being turned away . I remember my dad stopping for gas, and theyd look at me and look at him and say, we dont have any gas for you. Reporter black americans were routinely refused service, and in socalled sundown towns African Americans knew if they were caught after sundown, they could face physical attack. Victor green, a new york city postal worker, created a travel guide called the negro motorist green book. He collected references from other black letter carriers to create a statebystate list of accommodations, open to everyone. A. C. Howards parents used greens books each summer to drive from chicago to mississippi. Did it get worse the further south you got . To tell you the truth, it got worse when you left chicago, you know. Reporter in some respects, the green book was a survival guide. It was. It most definitely was. Reporter green published 20,000 copies a year from 1936 with the help of the green book families like the graves and howards navigated segregated america. At least it gave you the feeling when you left your home, that you would not be embarrassed or demoralized by the experiences of the harshness of segregation. Reporter a rare copy of the green book recently sold for more than 22,000 but for a generation of travelers, the comfort it gave was priceless. Mark strassmann, cbs news, atlanta.

From the Jones Day Law Firm overlooking the u. S. Capitol, im scott pelley. Captions by vitac www. Vitac. Com this is the cbs overnight news. President trump set aside some of the fire and brimstone, sounding more optimistic in his first address to a joint session of congress. President trump outlined in Broad Strokes his ambitious plans to rewrite the tax code, increase military spending, and slash the federal budget. All without touching Social Security or medicare. Some of this puts him at odds with republican leaders, whose help hell need to push any plans through the congress. Heres some of what the president had to say. Each american generation passes the torch of truth, liberty and justice, in an unbroken chain all the way down to the president. That torch is now in our han and we will use it to light up the world. Im here tonight to deliver a message of unity and strength, and it is a message deeply delivered from my heart. Finally, the chorus became an earthquake, and the people turned out by the tens of millions, and they were all united by one very simple but crucial demand, that america must put its own citizens first because only then can we truly make America Great again. [ applause ] our obligation is to serve, protect, and defend the citizens of the United States. Were also taking strong frasures to protect our nation adom rical islamic terrorism. [ applause ] as promised, i directed the department of defense to develop a plan to demolish and destroy isis, a network of lawless savages that have slaughtered muslims, christians, men, women, and children of all faiths and all beliefs. We will work with our allies, including our friends and allies in the muslim world, to extinguish this vile enemy from our planet. Solving these and so many other pressing problems will require us to work past the differences of party. It will require us to tap into the american spirit that has overcome every challenge throughout our long and storied history. But to accomplish our goals at home and abroad, we must restart the engine of the american economy, make it easier for companies to do business in the United States, and much, much haorer fpa comnies to leave our country. [ applause ] right now, American Companies are taxed at one of the highest rates anywhere in the world. My Economic Team is developing historic tax reform that will reduce the tax rate on our companies so they can compete and thrive anywhere and with. Yone [ applause ] im going to bring back millions of jobs, protecting our workers also means reforming our system of legal immigration. [ applause ] the current outdated system depresses wages for our poorest workers and puts great pressure on taxpayers, nations around the world like canada, australia, and many others have a meritbased immigration system. [ applause ] its a basic principle that those seeking to enter a country ought to be able to support themselves financially. Yet in america, we do not enforce this rule, straining the very Public Resources that our poorest citizens rely upon. America has spent approximately 6 trillion in the middle east, all the while our infrastructure at home is crumbling. With this 6 trillion, we could have rebuilt our country twice, and maybe even three times if we had people who had the ability to negotiate. [ applause ] to launch our national rebuilding, i will be asking congress to approve legislation that produces a 1 trillion investment in infrastructure of the United States, financed through both public and private capital, creating millions of new jobs. [ applause ] tonight, i am also calling on this congress to repeal and replace obamacare. Everything that is broken in our country can be fixed. Every problem can be solved. And every hurting family can find healing and hope. Our citizens deserve this, and so much more. So why not join forces and finally get the job done and get it done right . [ applause ] i am sending congress a budget that rebuilds the military, eliminates the defense sequester [ applause ] and calls for one of the largest increases in National Defense spending in american history. We are blessed to be joined widow of u. S. Navy special operator, senior chief william ryan owens. Ryan died as he lived, a warrior and a hero, battling against terrorism and securing our nation. [ applause ] [ applause continues ] we strongly support nato, an Alliance Forged through the bonds of two world wars, that dethroned fascism [ applause ] and the cold war, and defeated communism. [ cheers and applause ] financial obligations, and now based on our very strong and frank discussions, they are beginning to do just that. In fact, i can tell you the money is pouring in. Very nice. [ applause ] and guided by a vision, not blinded by our doubts. I am asking all citizens to embrace this renewal of the american spirit. I am asking all members of congress to join me in dreaming big and bold and daring things for our country. I am asking everyone watching tonight to seize this moment, believe in yourselves, believe in your future, and believe once more in america. Thank you, god bless you, and god bless the United States.

Living well a north korean delegation is in malaysia trying to collect the leaders brother who was assassinated. Two women rubbed a nerve agent in the face of kim jongnam and he died 20 minutes later. His brother, kim jongun, reportedly wanted him dead for years, and the Korean Leader has other targets on his list. Bill whitaker spoke to one for 60 minutes. Ive been in seoul for six months. To be honest, you know, i was never public until now. Reporter we went for an evening out in seoul with north koreas former deputy ambassador in london before he defected in august. The first time on the subway . Yes, thats right. Reporter a someone of his rank is extremely rare. This was the first time he had walked about in public. Just off camera, six bodyguards watched his every move as we made our way down one of the busiest shopping streets in asia. North korea has assassinated defectors in seoul. To prevent more possible defections from north korea, i think kim jongun may do anything. Reporter even kill you . Of course. Why not . Reporter the man who could order an assassination is kim jongun, the dictator is the third member of the kim family to rule north korea. They have controlled the impoverished country with an iron clad fist for 70 years. This was last weeks missile test. Kim devotes a quarter of his countrys economy to weapons like this and his millionman army. Despite widespread food shortages. Kim jongun strongly believes that once he possesses icbm, then he can easily scare off america. Reporter right now, how dangerous is north korea to the stability of south korea and as a threat to the United States . Kim jonguns capability to wreak harm not only to america but also south korea and the world should not be underestimated. Reporter during his five years in power, kim jongun has expanded north Koreas Nuclear arsenal, despite International Sanctions that have brought his countrys economy to its knees. Electricity is scarce. From space, north korea is a k shining lights of south korea and the china to the north. Tai said he was living a comfortable life, here at the north Korean Embassy in london before he fled with his wife and two grown sons. The safety is guaranteed by the government. Reporter his job in london was to spread north korean propaganda, and report back on his colleagues. You all lived together under one roof . Yes. Reporter so you could keep an eye on each other . Keep an eye on each other, control each other, and even spy on each other. Reporter but he said he lost all faith in the regime when kim jongun killed his own uncle in 2013, and executed dozens of perceived enemies, including diplomats. Ive seen a tape of you giving speeches in london. Youre very convincing. You seem to be a true believer if i show any sign of hesitation, then i would be, you know sent to i would be sent to prison camps. So my whole familys life will be jeopardized. Reporter he said there was one big obsta defection. All north korean diplomats are forced to leave one of their children back in pyongyang as a hostage. Reporter as a hostage . Yes. Reporter his break came when that policy unexpectedly changed, and his oldest son was allowed to join the family in london. They all agreed to defect. He would not give us the details of his but we know he was kept in a safe house by south korean intelligence agents and questioned for more than three months. He said it was too dangerous for us to meet his family. Ive been talking with you a couple days now. You come from a secretive place. Yes. But i think you still have lots of secrets. Sure, yes. How do we know that what hes telling us is the truth and not just selfserving . You know, when a defector makes a decision to jump ship, hes doing it at a very huge cost. His coworkers, relatives, inlaws can be purged or killed. Reporter this was south koreas ambassador to National Security until last year. He said looks here can be deceiving. The risk of war today is exceptionally high. I think most americans right from the cold war. Uhhuh. But it seems to be quite hot. Thats right. This is the only place on the entire planet where you have nearly a million forces on both sides standing ready to fight a war in basically a nano second. And who is right there in the middle of this . Its basically the u. S. Forces. If theres war, this is where the big flight would take place. Reporter lee helped shape seouls policy towards north korea. He went with us to the village in the 2 1 2 mile wide Demilitarized Zone that separates north and south korea. As we got closer, seouls sprawl gave way to military checkpoints. The agreement that suspended the korean war was signed here. But theres still no peace treaty. The war began when the communist north invaded 34,000 americans were killed in what amounted to a stalemate. So this is the longest war on paper since world war ii, so we are still technically in a state of war. Reporter today, both sides still stare each other down. Thats north korea right there, that building just 100 yards away. We were told to avoid sudden movements that could be interpreted as threatening. It wasnt long before north korean soldiers took an interest in all the activity, so we went inside a negotiation hut that straddles the button. Right behind the door, basically from there on this is north korea. Once you go out, thats it. We have no jurisdiction on that side of the door. Reporter so if i were to walk out that door thats it. Reporter im in the hands of north korea . Thats true. Lets stay on this side. Reporter it was all surreal. Thisar seoul had the feel of a cold war theme park, complete with a fake village on the north korean side, built to impress the south. And in case you missed the point, loud speakers blared propaganda. Songs praising kim jongun. A few miles away, tourists crowd an observation deck. Snapping photos with troops, cardboard cutouts, and the real ones. What the visitors could not see on the other side of those mountains are 10,000 artillery pieces that the north Korean Military has aimed at seoul. All of which could reach the 28 Million People in and around the south korean capital. U. S. War planners estimate 500,000 people could be killed in a second korean war. Is there any other metropolitan area on earth this vulnerable . Certainly nothing that approaches seoul in terms of the size, the density of the population. Theres nothing like it. Reporter u. S. Air force general james slythe flew with us over the city. Its just 30 miles from the dmz. We landed at Osan Air Base where korean airmen and their american colleagues monitor all activity north of the dmz. For security, they shut off the giant video displays right before we came in.

President trump says he wants better relations with russia, but former russian chess master and human rights advocate Gary Kasparov has a warning, putin plays a dangerous game. Heres jim axelrod. Sometimes i feel like its in a bad dream. Reporter he doesnt like the way the relationship between donald trump and vladamir putin is taking shape. He has never criticized vladamir putin. He always came up with some kind of comparing putins actions. Do you respect puten . I do respect specifically to this exchange. Putins a killer. There are a lot of killers. Do you think our country is so innocent . How do we find a person vladamir putin was always an exception. Reporter the former world chess champion, who became one of putins most vocal critics in russia, he was arrested and beaten multiple times, before fleeing. Boris nemsov was murdered. The way putin has been presenting the world to the russian people, yes, we do certain things we may not like. So everybody does it. And now see, the president of the United States confirms this. Reporter this week, after he criticized the day of equivalence, congressman king questioned him the issue is so painful. And now the representative of the United States, a member of the house, i mean, basically saying that this person is alive. Thats proof that vladamir putin is still not that bad. Reporter he says putins goal is to sow instability here and capitalize on the divide. Which is why he finds the president s remark so troubling. Putins regime cannot compete with the United States technologically or economically. Putin needs conflict, and that is what makes me sure. Reporter he will be the first to tell you hes not objective when it comes to vladamir putin. His friends killed make that impossible. But hes less concerned with pu President Trump seems so hesita the spacex founder elon musk says hes got down payments from two space tourists he plans to send on a trip around the moon and back again. Manuel bojorquez has the story from the Kennedy Space center. Reporter atlantis was the last shuttle to take astronauts into place. Now its a whole new world. The names of those new wouldbe astronauts are top secret right now, and so is what they are paying, though experts believe it could be in the tens of millions of dollars. Spacex hopes to launch them from pad 39a, where many of nasas Apollo Missions began. Ignition and liftoff. Reporter the mission would use a much larger version of the falcon rocket which currently delivers cargo to the space station, using the capsule to send two people past the moon by the end of last year. There is some risk here. Reporter in a Conference Call with reporters, elon musk laid out the plan. This would be approximately a weeklong mission. It would pass the moon, and loop back to earth. Reporter humans havent flown to the moon since the last Apollo Mission in 1972. After yesterdays announcement, nasa issued a statement saying it commends its Industry Partners for reaching higher. The space agency is planning its own particular mission to sling astronauts around the moon, but not until 2021. People should not get the idea this is simple. Its not. Reporter space consultant bill harwood points out spacex as a private company isnt subject to the same restrictions as nasa. They certainly dont test the way nasa does. You can argue thats a good thing, but you wonter whats the risk . What is it that theyre not reporter the company has experienced problems with its falcon nine rocket, one of which exploded on the launch pad last year. And its had some high profile failures in attempts to reland its usable rocket booster. But elon musk insists the overall success rate is high. This should be exciting and gets the world exciting about sending people into deep space again. Reporter some experts believe the plan may be too ambitious to pull off late next week. But he says the space capsule was designed to run on auto pilot and the crew will receive extensive training in case something goes wrong. He expressed his gratitude for the folks here, tweeting spacex could not do this without nasa and cant express enough appreciation. Thats the overnight news for this wednesday.

The last thing we want to do is go into a place, break a bunch of glass and not have any clue how to put it back together. Reporter he found a powerful ally in mitch mcconnell. Do you think the senate could approve a budget that slashes state Department Funding by about a third . Probably not. I, for one, just speaking for myself, think the diplomatic portion of the federal budget is very important. And you get results a lot cheaper frequently than you do on the defense side. Mcconnell said his agenda and the president s were exactly the same, but clearly they diverge on this, scott, and mcconnell told me he simply hasnt had a chance to talk it over with the president yet. Nancy cordes, thanks. There is a controversy tonight inside u. S. Intelligence over whether the Trump Administration is exaggerating the threat from muslim countries. Debates inside and among intelligence agencies are standard and even encouraged. But jeff pegues reports this is different, because some analysts believe theyre being pressured to report the results that the white house wants to hear. Im establishing new vetting measures to keep radical islamic terrorists out of the United States of america. Reporter when President Trump signed his executive order banning travel from seven predominantly muslim countries, he said he was keeping the country safe from terrorists. But within the department of homeland security, whis order, intelligence analysts are still split on the threat. Former and current government source say the dhss Intelligence Unit is so divided, some employees are considering asking for protection as whistleblowers or hiring lawyers. Thats because their conclusions do not match those of the white house. Last week, this internal dhs intelligence document was leaked to the media. It determined citizens of the seven banned countries were rarely implicated in u. S. Based terrorism. Even though the document was prepared by experienced intelligence officers, it was rejected by dhs leadership. And the white house pressed for a new assessment. Sources say the contributors do the original document refused to work on the final product, concerned that the process had been tainted by politics. Spokesperson told us that other federal Law Enforcement agencies did not agree with that leaked document. Scott, dhs officials believe the document lacked classified and sensitive Law Enforcement information that would have provided a complete intelligence assessment. Jeff pegues for us tonight. Jeff, thank you. The midwest is being hit tonight by severe storms, including some tornadoes. Funnel clouds were spotted near interstate 80 in walcott, iowa. And the National Weather service says a number of twisters barreled through northern illinois. Damage has been reported outside chicago. Mr. Trump will emphasize the war on terror tonight, and he will be able to claim the head of the number two leader of al qaeda. David martin reports it was a cia drone strike over the weekend. Reporter this is the only known picture of abu al masri, which helps explain why he survived for so long as one of al qaedas most senior leaders. But his luck ran out on su when, according to u. S. Officials, a cia drone strike scored a direct hit on his car in northwestern syria. A soninlaw of osama bin laden, he has been implicated in the cs 1998 bombings of two american embassies in africa, which killed more than 200 people. Al masri, the name means hes from egypt, was a longtime confidant of al zawahri. In the years after 9 11, al masri fled to iran and spent a decade under house arrest, but also beyond the reach of american drone strikes. After his release, he went to syria, where al qaeda has been attempting to take advantage of the chaos caused by the civil war to establish a new base of operations. He was back in business but also back in range of drone strikes. On sunday, the cia found him one last time. Iss drones have killed about ten senior Al Qaeda Leaders in syria, in the 2 1 2 years since the u. S. Began conducting air strikes there. Scott . David martin at the pentagon. David, thank you. Coming up next, hundreds of women who worked for a huge jewelry chain claim they are victims of sexual misconduct. Makewith instant moisture utes from ky ultragel. Hundreds of women who worked for some of the bestknown Jewelry Stores in america claimed that they were groped, demeaned, and pressured for sex on the job. They filed suit and Manuel Bojorquez has their story. You do think that people arent going to believe what happened. Reporter Kristin Henry says she was the 22yearold manager of this kay jewelers near orlando, when she attended a Managers Conference and was cornered in a hotel room. I was forcefully kissed and touched in ways that i didnt want to be. Reporter this was a superior . It was a superior, yes. Reporter henry says she phoned the companys tip line to report the incident but was accusations over a missing gold chain, a claim she says was made up. You feel like somebody that you trusted and somebody that you were told to look up to and gain experience from was physically able to destroy your career. Reporter henrys allegation stemmed from an ongoing class action arbitration case filed in 2008, against signet jewelers, the Parent Company of retailers kay, zales, and jared, for gender discrimination and pay inequality. 69,000 former employees joined the case. Sworn statements from nearly 250 of them alleged a Corporate Culture of sexual misconduct, ranging from inappropriate advances to a good old boys network. In one allegation, in front of a female secretary, one manager asked another, are you doing her . Signet denies any wrongdoing saying in part we have taken the allegations of pay and promotions discrimination raised in this case very seriously. We have thoroughly investigated the allegations and have concluded they are not substantiated by the facts and certainly do not reflect our culture. Attorneys say a trial is scheduled to begin early next year on the broader question of gender and pay discrimination. Scott, the Company Points out none of the women in the class action has filed a legal claim of sexual harassment. Manuel bojorquez, thanks. Coming up, an alarming increase in Colorectal Cancer among young americans. Makewith instant moisture utes from ky ultragel. Theres a new study out today that sounds an alarm for younger americans. It says that those born in 1990 have double the risk of colon cancer as those born in 1950. And for rectal cancer, the rate is quadruple. We asked jon lapook for the story behind the numbers. Reporter at first, rhea buckner didnt think much of her stomach cramps. I sort of assumed that was just part of getting older. I had just turned 30, and i have to be careful with spicy foods now. Reporter but it turned out to be something far more serious colon cancer. Youre 30 years old. You find out you have colon cancer, and it spread to your ovary, your liver, lymph nodes. What are you thinking . I didnt even think that young people could get colon cancer. I really thought that it was, like, an old persons disease or, like, an old mans disease. Reporter todays study shows a disturbing trend among millennials and gen xers, with colon cancer rates since the mid1980s increasing 1 to 2. 4 a year but declining for those over 55, likely because colonoscopy in that group removes benign polyps before they can turn cancerous. Current guidelines suggest starting routine screening at age 50. After chemo and multiple surgeries, buckner, now 34, has had no evidence of cancer for three years. Dr. Daniel labow is her surgeon at mount sinai hospital in new york city. Why would it be increasing under the age of 50 . Some of the studies have shown reflected on diet, sedentary lifestyle, increased fat, things like that in the diet that are now affecting people younger and younger. Reporter those are all risk factors for colon cancer. Scott, the authors now say screening should now be considered before the currently recommended age of 50. And, clearly, doctors and patients need to Pay Attention to unexplained symptoms such as bleeding, abdominal discomfort, and change in bowel habits. Lifesaving information, dr. Jon lapook. We end tonight with a look back at a shameful chapter in american history, and a book that helped guide African Americans through it safely. Heres mark strassmann. Reporter there was a time when traveling black americans seldom felt the freedom of the open road. When you pulled up to a service station, to a restaurant, to a hotel, you reporter curtis graves, now 78, remembers seeing america in the 1940s and 50s from the back seat of his parents car. We went to california. We went to florida. We went to chicago. We went we went all over the place. Reporter do you remember being turned away . I remember my dad stopping for gas, and theyd look at me and look at him and say, we dont have any gas for you. Reporter black americans were routinely refused service, and in socalled sundown towns African Americans knew if they were caught after sundown, they could face physical attack. Victor green, a new york city postal worker, created a travel guide called the negro motorist the green booas guide. It was. It most definitely was. Reporter green published 20,000 copies a year from 1936 until 1967. With the help of the green book families like the graves and howards navigated segregated america. At least it gave you the feeling when you left your home, that you would not be embarrassed or demoralized by the experiences of the harshness of segregation. Reporter a rare copy of the green book recently sold for more than 22,000 but for a generation of travelers, the comfort it gave was priceless. Mark strassmann, cbs news, atlanta.

From the Jones Day Law Firm overlooking the u. S. Capitol, im scott pelley. Captions by vitac www. Vitac. Com this is the cbs overnight news. President trump set aside some of the fire and brimstone, sounding more optimistic in his first address to a joint session of congress. President trump outlined in Broad Strokes his ambitious plans to rewrite the tax code, increase military spending, and slash the federal budget. All without touching Social Security or medicare. Some of this puts him at odds with republican leaders, whose help hell need to push any plans through the congress. Heres some of what the president had to say. Each american generation passes the torch of truth, liberty and justice, in an unbroken chain all the way down to the president. That torch is now in our hands, and we will use it to light up the world. Im here tonight to deliver a message of unity and strength, and it is a message deeply delivered from my heart. Finally, the chorus became an earthquake, and the people turned out by the tens of millions, and they were all united by one very simple but crucial demand, that america must put its own citizens first because only then can we truly make America Great again. [ applause ] our obligation is to serve, protect, and defend the citizens of the United States. Were also taking strong measures to protect our nation from radical islamic terrorism. [ applause ] as promised, i directed the department ofe a plan to demolish and destroy isis, a network of lawless savages that have slaughtered muslims, christians, men, women, and children of all faiths and all beliefs. We will work with our allies, including our friends and allies in the muslim world, to extinguish this vile enemy from our planet. Solving these and so many other pressing problems will require us to work past the differences of party. It will require us to tap into the american spirit that has overcome every challenge throughout our long and storied history. But to accomplish our goals at home and abroad, we must restart the engine of the american economy, make it easier for companies to do business in the United States, and much, much harder for companies to leave our country. [ applause ] right now, American Companies are taxed at one of the highest rates anywhere in the world. My Economic Team is developing historic tax reform that will reduce the tax rate on our companies so they can compete and thrive anywhere and with anyone. [ applause ] im going to bring back millions of jobs, protecting our workers also means reforming our system of legal immigration. [ applause ] the current outdated system depresses wages for our poorest workers and puts great pressure on taxpayers, nations around the world like canada, australia, and many others have a meritbased immigration system. [ applause ] its a basic principle that those seeking to enter a country ought to be able to support themselves financially. Yet in america, we do not enforce this rule, straining the very Public Resources that our poorest citizens rely upon. America has spent approximately 6 trillion in the middle east, all the while our infrastructure at home is crumbling. With this 6 trillion, we could have rebuilt our country twice, and maybe even three times if we had people who had the ability to negotiate. [ applause ] to launch our national rebuilding, i will be asking congress to approve legislation that produces a 1 trillion investment in infrastructure of the United States, financed through both public and private capital, creating millions of new jobs. [ applause ] tonight, i am also calling on this congress to repeal and [ cheers and applause ] everything that is broken in our country can be fixed. Every problem can be solved. And every hurting family can find healing and hope. Our citizens deserve this, and so much more. So why not join forces and finally get the job done and get it done right . [ applause ] i am sending congress a budget that rebuilds the military, eliminates the defense sequester [ applause ] and calls for one of the largest increases in National Defense spending in american history. We are blessed to be joined tonight by corinne owens, the widow of u. S. Navy special operator, senior chief william ryan owens. Ryan died as he lived, a warrior and a hero, battling against terrorism and securing our nation. [ applause ] [ applause continues ] we strongly support nato, an Alliance Forged through the bonds of two world wars, that dethroned fascism [ applause ] and the cold war, and defeated communism. [ cheers and applause ] but our partners must meet their financial obligations, and now based on our very strong and frank discussions, they are beginning to do just that. In fact, i can tell you the money is pouring in. Very nice. [ applause ] and guided by a vision, not blinded by our doubts. I am asking all citizens to embrace this renewal of the american spirit. I am asking all members of congress to join me in dreaming big and bold and daring things for our country. I am asking everyone watching tonight to seize this moment, believe in yourselves, believe in your future, and believe once more in america. Thank you, god bless you, and god bless the United States. [ cheers and applause ] President Donald Trump congress. The overnight news will be right back. Sick, huh . Im good. I just took new mucinex clear and cool.

A north korean delegation is in malaysia trying to collect the body of their leaders brother who was assassinated last month in a busy airport. Investigators say two women rubbed a nerve agent in the face of kim jongnam, and he died 20 minutes later. His brother, kim jongun, reportedly wanted him dead for years, and the Korean Leader has other targets on his list. Bill whitaker spoke to one for 60 minutes. Ive been in seoul for six months. To be honest, you know, i was never public until now. Reporter we went for an evening out in seoul with north koreas former deputy ambassador in london before he defected in august. The first time on the subway . Yes, thats right. Reporter a defection by rare. This was the first time he had walked about in public. Just off camera, six bodyguards watched his every move as we made our way down one of the busiest shopping streets in asia. North korea has assassinated defectors in seoul. To prevent more possible defections from north korea, i think kim jongun may do anything. Reporter even kill you . Of course. Why not . Reporter the man who could order an assassination is kim jongun, the dictator is the third member of the kim family to rule north korea. They have controlled the impoverished country with an ironclad fist for 70 years. This was last weeks missile test. Kim devotes a quarter of his countrys economy to weapons like this and his millionman army. Despite widespread food shortages. Kim jongun strongly believes that once he possesses icbm, then he can easily scare off america. Reporter right now, how dangerous is north korea to the stability of south korea and as a threat to the United States . Kim jonguns capability to wreak harm not only to america but also south korea and the world should not be underestimated. Reporter during his five years in power, kim jongun has expanded north Koreas Nuclear arsenal, despite International Sanctions that have brought his countrys economy to its knees. Electricity is scarce. From space, north korea is a black hole. And china to the north. Tai said he was living a comfortable life, here at the north Korean Embassy in london before he fled with his wife and two grown sons. The safety is guaranteed by the government. Reporter his job in london was to spread north korean propaganda, and report back on his colleagues. You all lived together under one roof . Yes. Reporter so you could keep an eye on each other . Keep an eye on each other, control each other, and even spy reporter but he said he lost all faith in the regime when kim jongun killed his own uncle in 2013, and executed dozens of perceived enemies, including diplomats. Ive seen a tape of you giving speeches in london. Youre very convincing. You seem to be a true believer yourself. If i show any sign of hesitation, then i would be, you know sent to i would be sent to prison camps. So my whole familys life will be jeopardized. Reporter he said there was one big obstacle to his defection. All north korean diplomats are forced to leave one of their children back in pyongyang as a hostage. Reporter as a hostage . Yes. Reporter his break came when that policy unexpectedly changed, and his oldest son was allowed to join the family in london. They all agreed to defect. He would not give us the details of his escape and who helped, but we know he was kept in a safe house by south korean intelligence agents and questioned for more than three months. He said it was too dangerous for us to meet his family. Ive been talking with you a couple days now. You come from a secretive place. Yes. But i think you still have lots of secrets. Sure, yes. How do we know that what hes telling us is the truth and not just selfserving . You know, when a defector makes a decision to jump ship, hes doing it at a very huge cost. His coworkers, relatives, inlaws can be purged or killed. Reporter chong min lee was south koreas ambassador to National Security until last year. He said looks here can be deceiving. The risk of war today is exceptionally high. I think most americans right from the cold war. Uhhuh. But it seems to be quite hot. Thats right. This is the only place on the entire planet where you have nearly a million forces on both sides standing ready to fight a war in basically a nano second. And who is right there in the middle of this . Its basically the u. S. Forces. If theres war, this is where the big fight would take place. Reporter lee helped shape seouls policy towards north korea. He went with us to the village in the 2 1 2 mile wide Demilitarized Zone that separates north and south korea. As we got closer, seouls sprawl gave way to military checkpoints. The agreement that suspended the korean war was signed here. But theres still no peace treaty. The war began when the communist north invaded in 1950. 34,000 americans were killed in what amounted to a stalemate. So this is the longest war on paper since world war ii, so we are still technically in a state of war. Reporter today, both sides still stare each other down. Thats north korea right there, that building just 100 yards away. We were told to avoid sudden movements that could be interpreted as threatening. It wasnt long beforenorth korean soldiers took an interest in all the activity, so we went inside a negotiation hut that straddles the border. Right behind the door, basically from there on this is north korea. Once you go out, thats it. We have no jurisdiction on that side of the door. Reporter so if i were to walk out that door thats it. Reporter im in the hands of north korea . Thats true. Lets stay on this side. Reporter it was all surreal. This part of the dmz closest to seoul had the feel of a cold war theme park, complete with a fake village on the north korean side, built to impress the south. And in case you missed the point, loud speakers blared propaganda. Martial songs praising kim jongun. A few miles away, tourists crowd an observation deck. Snapping photos with troops, cardboard cutouts, and the real ones. What the visitors could not see on the other side of those mountains are 10,000 artillery pieces that the north Korean Military has aimed at seoul. All of which could reach the 28 Million People in and around the south korean capital. U. S. War planners estimate 500,000 people could be killed in a second korean war. Is there any ot metropolitan area on earth this vulnerable . Certainly nothing that approaches seoul in terms of the size, the density of the population. Theres nothing like it. Reporter u. S. Air force general james slythe flew with us over the city. Its just 30 miles from the dmz. We landed at Osan Air Base where korean airmen and their american colleagues monitor all activity north of the dmz. For security, they shut off the giant video displays right before we came in.

President trump says he wants better relations with russia, but former russian chess master and human rights advocate Garry Kasparov has a warning, putin plays a dangerous game. Heres jim axelrod. Sometimes i feel like its in a bad dream. Reporter Garry Kasparov doesnt like the way the relationship between donald trump and vladamir putin is taking shape. He has never criticized vladamir putin. He always came up with some kind of comparing putins actions. Do you respect putin . I do respect him. Referring specifically to this exchange. Putins a killer. There are a lot of killers. We got a lot of killers, what, do you think our country is so innocent . How do we find a person vladamir putin was always an exception. Reporter the former world chess champion, who became one of putins most vocal critics in russia, kasparov was arrested and beaten multiple times, finally fleeing four years ago. Boris nemsov was murdered. And vladimir karamuza poisoned, twice. The way putin has been presenting the world to the russian people, yes, we do certain things we may not like. So everybody does it. And now see, the president of the United States confirms this. Reporter this week, after he criticized the day of equivalence, congressman king questioned kasparovs concerns. The issue is so painful. And now the representative of the United States, a member of the house, i mean, basically saying that this person is alive. Thats proof that vladamir putin is still not that bad. Reporter he says putins goal is to sew instability here and capitalize on the divide. Which is why he finds the president s remark so troubling. Putins regime cannot compete with the United States technologically or economically. The russian economy is in freefall. Putin needs conflict, and that is what makes me shiver. Reporter kasparov will be the first to tell you that hes not objective when it comes to vladamir putin. His friends kills and jailed makes that impossible. But hes less concerned with hesitant to criticize him. Rkrkrk i wednesday, march 1st, 2017. This is the cbs morning news.
