Republicans have a fourseat majority, but they have 24 seats up in november, and the democrats have only 10. Heres nancy cordes. Reporter arizona senator john mccain has called trumps views uninformed and dangerous. But that hasnt stopped his Democratic Senate challenger, anne kirkpatrick, from running ads like this. No matter what donald trump says, john mccain would support him for president. Reporter new york senator Chuck Schumer warned today that strategy will be replicated in dozens of races across the country. Donald trump wont make America Great again, but he will make republicans minority again. Reporter unlike mccain, many republicans have been reluctant to outright denounce trump. They fear that weakening the likely nominee will lead Republican Voters to stay home in november, hurting gop candidates down the ballot. But today, the senates democratic leader, harry reid, said that silence is giving his party fodder, too. Some of these people are running for reelection. Rob portman, roy blunt. I just dont know how these people could run and say why im supporting this guy for president. He cant and he cant run away from it. Hes the nominee. Reporter republicans point out theyre the ones seeing record turnout in the primaries, while democratic turnout is down. But, scott, democrats insist that if trump is the nominee, their base will flock to the polls in november to vote against him. Nancy, thank you. An american who joined isis and surrendered in Northern Iraq this week spoke today about his ordeal. Mohamed jamal khweis is a palestinian american from virginia. He says he joined the terror group in december and quickly figured out the lifestyle was not for him. At the time, i i made the decision to go because i wasnt thinking straight. I didnt see myself living in that environment. I would you know, i wanted to go back to to america. We dont know when khweis will return to the u. S. But the Justice Department is preparing to file charges. In iraq today, our Elizabeth Palmer was told that isis is running short of money because of the u. S. Bombing campaign. Liz got a rare interview with president obamas special envoy to the region, which said russia may be tired of propping up the syrian dictator. Reporter for the past six years, russias government and its military have shown unwavering support for syrian president bashar al assad. But that, at last, may be changing, says brett mcgurk, the president s special envoy on iraq and syria. I think theres an emerging international consensus, and i include the russians on that, that without a very serious political transition, this conflict is going to continue to grind on and thats in nobodys interest. Reporter consensus on shutting assad out of syrias political future would be a breakthrough and give fresh energy to the peace talks currently under way in geneva. While on the battlefield, where an International Coalition has joined forces against isis, theres already been steady progress. A new report shows that over the past 15 months, isis has lost more than a fifth of the territory it controlled in iraq and syria. And, says mcgurk, strains are showing in other ways, too. So now, cutting salaries for their fighters by almost half. When they store money in mosul, for example, we find out where that is, and we target those sites. Reporter bomb the money. They cant pay their fighters. They cant communicate with their fighters. They cant move around the battlefield like they could before, and they cant hold territory. Reporter isis is Still Holding a huge amount of land, as well as two major cities, but if the current momentum holds, its just possible isis territory will continue to shrink as the outline of a peace deal in geneva slowly takes shape. And, scott, we may get some more details on that peace agreement, or ven maybe an inkling of whats in store for president assad when secretary of state john kerry goes to moscow next week.

Cruz was fatally shot four days ago by offduty officer ken johnson. Johnson said he witnessed the teen and his friend burglarizing a car at this apartment complex. Officer johnson confronted the boys, who then took off in cruzs vehicle. Johnson pursued them in his own car, ramming into the teens at this intersection. Eyewitness photos then show johnson getting out of his car and pointing a gun at the two teenagers. Moments later, he shot the two boys, killing cruz and injuring his friend.

Thats the intersection where the officer rammed the vehicle, and i am standing in the spot where the shots were fired.

There are big changes coming at seaworld, and well have them next. Today, seaworld said it will phase out its killer whale shows, giving in to pressure from Animal Rights activists. Heres ben tracy. Reporter seaworld is ending the shows that made shamu a household name. The company will also no longer breed its captive orcas. Seaworld ceo joel manby on cbs this morning. So this will be the last generation of orcas at seaworld. Obviously, thats a very difficult decision for us, but we feel its the right one for the future of the organization. Reporter seaworld still holds 23 orcas in captivity at its three parks in san diego, san antonio, and orlando. The highly critical 2013 documentary black fish was the beginning of the end for seaworlds killer whale shows. It chronicled attacks on seaworld trainers such as dawn brancheau, who was killed by a massive orca in 2010. Attendance has been falling at the parks, along with seaworlds stock price. The company is now entering into a 50 Million Partnership with the humane partnership, the onetime adversary. Ceo wayne pacelle. Were hoping to partner with them to help with animals in distress stranded whales, stranded dolphins, stranded sea turtles. Reporter seaworld was running out of options. The California Coastal commission ruled it could not expand its San Diego Park unless it ended orca breeding. California congressman adam schiff said seaworld does dnot suddenly see the light. I think it is mostly a decision based on the fact that people were not showing up at the parks. People did not approve of the continued captivity of these whales. They didnt approve of how they were being exhibited. Reporter now, the orcas will still be on display at seaworld parks, such as this one here in san diego, but in what the Company Calls more natural orca encounters. Scott, seaworld made a lot of money selling orcas to theme parks around the world, something they say wont do anymore. Ben, thanks. Frank sinatra, jr. Has died.

Com this is the cbs overnight news. Welcome to the overnight news. A major victory for Animal Rights activist. Seaworld announced it will end its killer whale shores and ending its orca breeding program. The shakeup comes after years of controversy about how the whales are treated in captivity and is being praised by the humane society. Norah odonnell has more. Reporter for years, animal advocacy groups have argued the Family Friendly shows at seaworld hide a more troubling below the surface. The company disputed many of the films accusations of animal abuse and neglect, but since the films release, seaworlds stock price and park attendance have plummeted. Blackfish tells the story of a trainer killed six years ago by an orca named tillicum. Since then, seaworld no longer allows trainers in the water with the killer whales. The company has since instituted other reforms. Seaworld says its replacing its shows with shows that highlight the whiles natural behaviors in the wild. But critics said the changes do little to improve the animals living conditions. There you go. Reporter and the bad press continues for seaworld. Tillicum remains in captivity. The people who run the Los Angeles Zoo say theyre forgiving a local Mountain Lion for eating one of their koalas. Its also the only local predator capable of scaling an eightfoot wall. Since the killing, theres been a raging controversy over what to do about p22. Shoot him, relocate him, or leave him alone. The zoo now says just let him be. John blackstone reports. Reporter other animals at the Los Angeles Zoo may have witnessed the crime, but theyre not talking. The victim was kalarney, a 14yearold female koala mauled to death. The main suspect is well known to authorities, and most everyone else in los angeles as p22, the hollywood Mountain Lion. Zoo director john lewis. What we know at this point is its circumstantial, but he was in the zoo the night that the koala disappeared. Certainly would be capable of doing it. Reporter but we do know that in griffith park, the 4,000 acre wild land preserve where the l. A. Zoo is located, there is only one Mountain Lion on the loose p22. Hes an opportunistic animal. If he has an opportunity to have an easy and quick meal, hell take advantage. Reporter not his fault . Right. Reporter part of nature . Right. Reporter but zoo officials arent taking any chances. Moving the remaining koalas under supervised protection. P22 has never been known to both ear human. If hes guilty at all, its only for doing what comes naturally. John blackstone, los angeles. The Chicago White sox designated hitter adam laroache walked out of spring training and retired from baseball after a dustup with management of his son. The 14yearold was apparently on the field and in the locker room every day. Hes walking away from a 13 Million Contract and considering he only hit. 207 last year, he may not get another shot with a different team. Jeff glor reports. A deep drive, right center field. And it is out of here reporter for adam laroche his sport and his only son have always been inseparable. Nobodys kid needs to be in a professional locker room. I was really unaware of the fact that he was around as much as he was. Reporter the 36yearold abruptly walked away from a 13 Million Contract on tuesday and the white sox Vice President asked him to limit his sons time in the clubhouse. Its not because he was a distraction or wasnt well received or well liked by the players. But in management, sometimes youve got to make some unpopular decisions. Reporter 14yearold Drake Laroche has been a fixture, alongside his father on the field, and in Major League Clubhouses for years. Complete with his own jersey and personal locker. My friends think its like really cool and everything. But i just think its normal because i do it every single year since ive been a baby. Reporter kids on the field and in the clubhouse isnt uncommon across baseball. But drakes involvement with the white sox was unique. You see kids in clubhouses all the time, on a consistent basis. I cant think of a single case where a players son was in a clubhouse the entire time the player was. Reporter the white sox insist their decision had nothing to do with drakes conduct but rather an attempt to focus on winning. Its awesome. Im so lucky to take him to work. My brothers and i just grew up around the stadium. We always did it, so its cool to give him the same memories. Reporter baseball has long been a Family Affair for the laroches. Adams dad pitched in the majors for 14 years. Family, friends and fans are remembering the life of Frank Sinatra, jr. He died of a heart attack at a florida hospital. He was 72 years old. The only son of the legendary entertainer, he was a singer himself. But he lived and performed in the long shadow of his father. Don dahler looks back. Maybe you might remember this song, dad. Reporter if Frank Sinatra was the chairman of the board his son, Frank Sinatra, jr. , was the heir apparent. Their relationship appeared as heart felt. But the road wasnt always so silky smooth. For the third night of anguish ended at 3 00 this morning. Reporter Frank Sinatra jr. Was kidnapped when he was 19. His father paid the 240,000 ransom. His first words when he saw me was im sorry. Reporter Frank Sinatra, jr. Pursued his own musical career, but had difficulty finding his own persona. For a guy that has to live in the shadow of one of the most important, iconic singers, performers, artists of alltime, those are big shoes to fill. Reporter turning to television, he played himself on the sopranos and family guy. But it was only towards the end of his career that he embraced his fathers legacy. He would introduce me to the audience. He said my son, frank, is conducting. He said hes almost as good as lawrence welk. Choose to move freely.

You may be one of those people who never forgets a face. Even if its someone you met only briefly years ago. But for some people, its exactly the opposite. They cant remember any faces. They cant recognize their own parents or each their own children. Its a condition called face blindness. Lesley stahl reports for 60 minutes. Reporter jacob is one of them. Hes 31 years old. He has a college degree, has had great jobs, and he seals p s great jobs, and he seals peems perfectly normal. But just dont ask him to identify any faces. Even very famous ones. No idea. Reporter we showed jacob faces without hair. A pure test of facial recognition. No. Nope. Cant say if ive ever seen that person. Reporter hes seen jimmy carter plenty of times. And knows michael jordan, too. Oh, lord. Reporter he just cant recognize their faces. Thats just impossible. Reporter can you describe my face . Youre staring right at it. High cheekbones, light eyes. Reporter clearly he could see my face, but he says if we happened to run into each other in a few days, he wouldnt know me from any other woman. They meet somebody, they have a good time, and a week later they walk past them. Reporter Brad Duchenne has been studying face blindness for 15 years. He said the hardest thing to understand is how someone can see a familiar face with you not recognize it. So he created a demonstration to give me a taste. Faces turned upside down. Heres some famous faces. Youre going to be tempted to twist your head but dont do it. Can you identify any of these people . Reporter i was completely at a loss. You would think i would know all of these people. Youve seen them all a lot. Reporter i dont know any of these people. I really dont. Want to see them upright . Reporter it was astonishing. With just that click, they became recognizable people before my eyes. I know john travolta. And there was denzel washington, jennifer aniston, sandra bullock. But the one that really got me is the young woman on the lower right, my daughter. I didnt know my own daughter . No. Reporter i didnt know my own daughter. So there she is. Reporter am i getting a feeling for what people with face blindness have . When you look at that, theres a face there. Theres a nose, mouth, eyes. But you cant put it together. Reporter thats stunning. I feel terrible for them now. Its really difficult. Reporter and largely unknown. Rosa only got its name in the 1940s when a couple of soldiers came back from world war ii with head injuries and couldnt recognize their wife or parents. It took another 50 years for science to discover that people could be born face mind like jacob. And joe livingston, a retired teacher. Ben, a Software Products designer. And meg, a doctor. If i were your patient, you had spent a long time with me discussing the problem, i come back the next time. No, you walk out to the window and i walk out of the room and i dont know who you are. Reporter she relies on patient charts she told us. But there arent any of those in bens office, where lunch in the cafeteria can be tricky. Sitting down at lunch having a discussion with someone about one of my projects and guy across the table gets up and says thats interesting. When you have that meeting, can you invite me . Thanks, see you. Who is it . I dont know. I have no idea. Reporter is it a memory issue . The face doesnt get filed . So they have to rely on other strategies to identify people. Hair, body shape. The way people walk, their voice. Even style of dress. But jacob told us that it can all fall apart when someone changes their hair, like a colleague named sylvia who he wouldnt find one day until she started putting her hair in her usual pony tail. She put it into the pony tail and once that was in place, that was sylvia. And then she took her hair back out of that pony tail and she disappeared. Reporter to him it was show her face changed into someone elses before his eyes. Now im confronted with the situation that got weird. I knew this person was sylvia, but it didnt feel like sylvia. Reporter faces mean so much to us. Identity, beauty, character. A place to hang all our memories about a person. Faces have captivated artists forever. So it may surprise you to learn that the man who painted these faces, renowned portraitist chuck close, is also face blind. Say you had dinner with somebody and saw her the next day wouldnt remember her. Reporter yet hes spent his career painting, well, faces. Yes. Reporter chuck close has face blindness and he paints faces. Correct. The reason i think i was driven to it was to, to take images of people that mattered to me and commit them to memory in the best way i can, which is to slow the whole process down, break it down with lots of little memorable pieces. Reporter which is exactly how he creates these works. He cant make sense of a whole face, so he works from a photograph with a grid on it. And translates what he sees, square by square, onto his canvas. Guess what weve done. I dont know. Reporter weve put together a quiz for you. We brought some of our famous faces to show him. From the chin, i think its leno. Reporter and were surprised he did pretty darn well. From the lips, i think its tiger woods. Reporter youre pretty good. But of course, not perfect. I dont have a clue. Reporter thats tom cruise. Right now, my guts are tied in knots because this very activity is a thing that makes me most nervous. Oh, now i have to figure out who this person is. You can see the full report in a world thats trying to turn you into someone new. One hair color wants to help you keep on being you. Nicen easy. Naturallooking color. That even in sunlight, doesnt look like hair color. It just looks like you. Nicen easy color as real as you are. Hey spray n wash is back. Ews . And even better. Its powerful formula removes everyday stains the first time. Which is bad news for stains, and good news for you. Spray n wash. Back n better. Unless you have allergies. , then your eyes may see it differently. Only flonase is approved to relieve both itchy, watery eyes and congestion. No other nasal allergy spray can say that. When we breathe in allergens our bodies react by over producing six key inflammatory substances that cause our symptoms. Most allergy pills only control one substance. Flonase controls six. And six is greater than one. Complete allergy relief or incomplete. Let your eyes decide. Flonase. 61 changes everything. E eve got a story now about disinfected wipes, the ones youre not supposed to flush down the toilet. Turns out a lot of people flush them any way, and its causing big problems. Contessa brewer reports. Reporter in san antonio, they cheered clearing the clog. The problem starts here, when wipes go from the back of the toilet into it. And 7 of wipes are labeled flushable. New york city estimates it spends 3 million a year just dealing with wipes in the sewer system. Whatever you flush ends up somewhere. It doesnt just disappear. And the sewage passes through Reporter Commission ervin sent s, paenva showed us the screening process but it doesnt catch everything. Wipes are getting into our gear, clogging them up and were not able to process as much waste water as we normally would. Reporter Kimberly Clark told cbs news, our flushable products are tested to ensure they meet the current u. S. Industry guidelines for flushability. The industry has firm criteria. Wipes have to break down when flushed. But manufacturer compliance is voluntary. No laws regulate how flushable they are. They blame the nonflushable wipes for the clogs. There is no evidence presented by anyone at any time that a guideline compliant wipe flushed has caused any issue anywhere. Reporter new york city is not alone. Our preference is, if youre going to use a wipe, thats fine. Put it in the trash. Reporter thats the bottom line. Contessa brewer, cbs news, new york. From the sewers of new york to the streets, where theyre taking out all the old pay phones and installing wifi spots. Reporter the goal being 7500 of these kiosks stationed around the city. We can have internet access, high speed wifi for your own device, even a 911 emergency button here. But the question is, if more people use public wifi, does that put more people at risk to hackers . These arent your daddys phone booths. In fact, theyre replacing them. Colin odonnell helped design the system. Youve got the internet, browse the web. Reporter and it makes regular phone calls . Yeah, you can make free phone calls, talk as long as you want anywhere in the u. S. Reporter at the nerve center, technicians remotely monitor usage. Designed for the rigors of city life, theyve been tested to withstand everything from bad weather to dog pee. Other cities have tried and failed at public wifi, because of a lack of funding. He says new york city will succeed because it will benefit financially from ads on the kiosk sites. One of the beauties of this is that it is going to generate ultimately, potentially hundreds of millions of dollars a year for the city that it wouldnt have otherwise. Reporter the Biggest Issue with public wifi at this scale is security. The main concern for a lot of people, you go on public wifi, youre afraid to be hacked. How can they be ensured this wont happen . Were a public network. Everybody has to have their own encryption key, so it makes for a very secure and safe network. Reporter meaning every time you go online, the system issues a digital key. But there are ways around encryption. The first thing you see is an ad that is a spear phishing attack. Reporter we asked this cyber expert to show how easily hackers can set up a fake login page. They think theyre connecting to a kiosk but theyre connecting to a malicious site and they dont know what theyre going to put in their credit card credentials. Reporter the best way to be safe is never use public wifi for anything with personal information, credit cards or banks. We have to be one step ahead of the next threat. Reporter they say they have people monitoring any kind of suspicious Online Activity 247 and do not gather your personal information and sell to a third party. By the way, if youre wondering, if you live within 150 feet of , the smog in london is so bad its blamed for thousands of deaths each year. Now some londoners are fighting back with a tiny new air quality monitor strapped to the back of pigeons. Charlie dagata has the story on britains pigeon air patrol. Reporter these pigeons are nothing special. If anything, theyre underachievers. Theyre raising pigeons currently flying at about 120 feet and the little backpacks weigh less than an ounce. Or light as a feather. That is princess, the bird, not the guy. Princess and a small flock of friends took flight this morning on a mission to save the world. Or mostly to raise awareness about all the air pollution in it. The reality is that we are all exposed to really toxic gases in our everyday lives, just by simply going in the streets, everywhere. Reporter seven birds, all females, took wing in todays sortie, two with pollution monitoring backpacks. The others are wing men, or wing women. He says his birds prefer to fly in a flock. They like to fly together. They do it for security more than anything. Thats just like a horse race, you know, the first across the line theyll go off together. Reporter the program is partnered with, you guessed it, twitter. To find out how polluted your neighborhood is, you tweet to the birds and they tweet back. Pigeons have a long history of serving on britains battle fronts. Notably in world war ii. A street communication is received and deciphered. Reporter even a Young Queen Elizabeth supported the air force. Today, london faces another threat. An estimated 10,000 people die prematurely in the capital due to air pollution. And the World Health Organization estimates that globally, air pollution is to claim for the deaths of 7 Million People every year. Which makes the work of a few good pigeons with cute little backpacks a bit more pressing than just a mere flight of fancy. This morning, we tweeted princess, that pigeon currently on duty, to find out what pollution levels were like here in west london. Moments later, we got the response. Pollution is currently high in your area. Protect yourself. Thats the overnight news for this friday. For some of you the news continues.
