Tonight indiana governor mike pence is a leading candidate for the numbertwo spot in the republican ticket. Pence is 57, 13 years younger than trump, and he knows his way around washington. He served 12 years as a congressman. Heres major garrett. Reporter donald trump summoned his family from new york to meet with mike pence at the indiana governors mansion, their second facetoface encounter in two days. Trump then left for downtown indianapolis to huddle with other potential running mates as the Vice President ial vetting process drew to a close. First former House Speaker newt gingrich, who retired from congress in 1999 and ran for president himself four years ago,. A close adviser, gingrich often tells trump hes leading a movement. Of historical significance.

As for the meeting with trump. Nothing was offered. Nothing was accepted. But we had a great conversation about the country. Reporter do you think you can help him more as Vice President or as governor of indiana . I think that would be for others to say. I can just honestly tell you, these are good people. These are people who have the best interests of america at heart. Donald trump gets it. Reporter the two campaigned together tuesday night, arriving more than an hour late after a fundraiser pence organized for trump that add more than 1 million to his campaign coffers.

Pelley a new poll out today finds that trump has taken the lead in the key state of florida. Hes up three points. Last month he was trailing there by eight. Heres nancy cordes. Donald Trumps Campaign ads up to an ugly, dangerous message to america. Reporter in springfield, illinois, the home of lincoln, clinton called trump today a threat to the republic, a man determined to stoke fear and settle scores. Imagine if he had not just twitter and cable news to go after his critics and opponents, but also the i. R. S. , or for that matter our entire military. Reporter complicating her message was the new quinnipiac poll that found voters in three key battleground states now consider trump significantly more trustworthy. Its one of several polls that show clinton slipping after she skirted an indictment last week but not a tongue lashing for her use of a private email server as secretary of state. I think she was extremely careless. I think she was negligent. Reporter the clinton camp chose to look on the bright side, highlighting another new poll that has her leading in iowa by three and in pennsylvania by nine, and clinton argued its trump who really flouts the rule of law. He says as commanderinchief he would order our troops to commit war crimes. Reporter she was referring to his vow to bring back the use of torture. We should go for waterboarding abwe should go tougher than waterboarding. Reporter c. I. A. Director john brennan was asked today what he would do if he got that order . As long as im director of the c. I. A. , were not going to go down that road again. Reporter clintons v. P. Selection process has been markedly less public than trumps, but everyone will be looking for clues tomorrow when she comes to washington to meet with senate democrats, a group thats filled, scott, with potential nominees. Pelley nancy cordes in the washington newsroom. Nancy, thank you. When the Republican Convention opens next monday, clinton will be addressing the Naacp Convention in cincinnati. But donald trump has declined the invitation of the civil rights group. Thats rare. Both mitt romney and both president s bush spoke to the naacp, but reagan declined in 1980. Negative views of Race Relations are at their highest since the 1992 riots that occurred after the aquilt l of Police Officers who beat taxi driver rodney king in los angeles. A cbs News New York times poll out tonight finds that 69 of americans say Race Relations are bad, about the same as 1992. The new poll was taken after the Police Shootings of black men in louisiana and minnesota and the murders of five Police Officers in dallas. There were funerals today for three of those officers, and Manuel Bojorquez has that. Amazing grace. How sweet the sound reporter at this service, dallas transit officer Brent Thompson was remembered as a family man, the father of six had recently married fellow transit officer emily. Brent loved all of his brothers and sisters in blue. I encourage you to stand with me, continue to wear the badge with me, remembering the oath we took. We will not, we cannot, we shall not let the acts of a coward break us. Reporter his daughter sandy fought back tears. One thing i would always say to my dad when he walked out the door was, goodbye, daddy. I love you. Be safe. And tonight we say our final, goodbye, daddy. We love you. Be safe. Reporter thousands of Law Enforcement officers from across the country gathered to pay their respects to their fallen comrades. This was the procession for dallas officer lorne ahrens. Hundreds lined the streets. Officers saluted. The youngest did, too. Inside officer Debbie Taylor remembered the 64 ahrens as a gentle giant. Not only was he bigger in physical stature, but his personality, his heart, his enthusiasm for policework and his devotion to his family were all larger than life. Reporter at a mass for officer michael smith, an army veteran and father of two, he was called a warrior and a guardian by his sister, yeamei smith. My brothers murder will not be in vain. His selfless legacy will live on. Reporter and in some ways it already has. This week family friend shared a photograph of officer smiths daughter giving a bracelet she made to the daughter of Fallen Police officer patricio zamarripa. Scott, the funerals for officer zamarripa and officer michael krol are set to happen over the next few days. Pelley Manuel Bojorquez in dallas for us tonight. Manuel, thank you. The murders of those dallas officers were motivated in part by the Fatal Police Shooting of alton sterling in baton rouge. Well, today the America Civil Liberties Union sued the police there over their treatment of protestors. Sterlings 15yearold son cameron urged marchers to protest, as he put it, the right way. David begnaud sat down with him. Ill never forget that image of you wailing on the side of your mom. When i put my arm around her, its like somebody elses hand touched me, like i had another hand laying on top of my hand. When i looked over, nobody else was touching me. And it was like at that moment, i knew. My daddys here. Hes right on the side of us. Hes standing here as our family together once again. I really want everyone to know, alton sterling was a good man, no matter what anyone else has to say about him. Truly in my heart, i know he was a good dad. Reporter what is your opinion of police in general these days . All police arent bad. They all arent bad. There are some that are bad, but all arent bad. How i feel, i feel all police shouldnt be punished for other polices crimes. The police in dallas, texas, they didnt deserve that, because nobody knew if they had kids to go home to. Those kids need their parents. Reporter people around the country have been protesting because of what happened to your dad. What would you say to them . Continue protesting. But what i want, what i ask, if you truly love my father, i truly just want everyone to protest the right way. Protest in peace. Not in violence. Not beating the police, not Police Beating the people. That makes no sense. That makes things worse. You have to make things better by making peace. Reporter today cameron got on a plane for washington. Tomorrow its expected hell meet the president. And, scott, on friday he will return to baton rouge to bury his dad. Pelley David Begnaud reporting for us. David, thank you. In an important developing story, 47 american troops have been rushed into south sudan to protect americans and the u. S. Embassy.

The u. N. Says more than four million south sudanese are threatened by famine. Today britain got a new Prime Minister, theresa may, a career politician. She is the first woman to hold the office since Margaret Thatcher in 1990. Mark phillips reports change came quickly. Reporter the moment of becoming Prime Minister frozen in time. Everything else was in motion, especially David Cameron leaving office four years earlier than hed planned. Its not been an easy journey, and, of course, weve not got every decision right. Reporter he got one big thing wrong the referendum on leaving the e. U. On which he gambled and lost. So one last grilling in parliament that was less a grilling than a political standup routine. Other than one meeting this afternoon with her majesty, the queen, the diary for the rest of my day is remarkably light. Reporter or the one about the time he was stopped by someone on the sidewalk in new york. Eventually said, hey, cameron, Prime Ministers questions. We love your show. Reporter the David Cameron act is over. Its such a neat show of political theatrics. One Prime Minister leaves through the famous front door, another arrives. The characters may change, but the plot stays the same. Its theresa mays show now. The 59yearolds run Britains Home Office for six years, dealing with policing, immigration and other tough issues. She will now have to manage the toughest of them all, the divorce from europe that she had actually campaigned against. We are living throw an important moment in our countrys history. Following the referendum we face a time of Great National change. Reporter about the only thing that hasnt changed around here is larry, the downing street cat. Hes staying. And the rumor that somehow i dont love larry, i do. And i have photographic evidence to prove it. Reporter and scott, theres already controversy about one of theresa mays first big appointments. Shes named boris johnson, a divisive figure who was criticized during the Brexit Campaign for using racist innuendo about president obama, her new foreign minister.
