that's the initials for the british spying agency. >> on fox news judge -- >> reporter: press secretary sean spicer cited that report at yesterday's white house briefing. the gchq issued a rare public rebuke saying the allegation is "utterly ridiculous and should be ignored." but the president took no responsibility for the breech of protocol with the u.k., one of america's closest allies. >> i didn't make an opinion on it. that was a statement made by a very talented lawyer on fox and, so, you shouldn't be talking to me, you should be talking to fox. >> reporter: fox anchor shepard smith moments after the press conference -- >> fox news cannot confirm judge napolitano's commentary. fox news knows of no evidence of any kind that the now president of the united states was surveilled at anytime in any way, full stop. >> reporter: print's ambassador to the united states and its national security advisor has spoken to spicer and h.r. mcmaster to voice their displeasure. anthony, the white house acknowledges the concerns but did not offer an apology. >> mason: thank you, major. the secret service is investigating an embarrassing breech of security, the latest in a string in the past years. cbs learned an agent's laptop computer containing sensitive information is missing. hear's jeff pegues. >> reporter: the laptop was stolen yesterday morning from a secret service agent's car parked on this street in brooklyn. law enforcement sources say the computer contained information about trump tower and information only hillary clinton. also missing, secret service agent lapel pins for the trump and clinton campaign as well as 2015 papal visit. grainy video is shown someone breaking into the vehicle. the suspect has not been identified or determined whether the agent was specifically targeted. in a statement the secret service says its laptops contain multiple layer of security included full disk encryption and are not permitted to contain classified information. the theft comes less than a week after intruder jonathan tran climbed over the white house fence and roamed around undetected for nearly 17 minutes while president trump was in the executive mansion. the secret service says transcaled three different -- tran scaled three different fences on the white house grounds, one five feet, one eight feet and one three and a half feet, while uniformed divisions officers tried to attempt to ascertain the location and identity of the individual. house oversight committee chairman jason chaffetz has investigated other white house breaches and says tran nearly made it inside the mansion. >> the idea that somebody could jump the fence of the white house, be on the grounds of up wards of 15-plus minutes, be right up against the building, hide behind a pillar and jiggle the door?

i sa see these people waiting fr their food to come every day, it works. >> reporter: it works for linda preast who signed up for the program two years ago after a stroke left her in a wheelchair. meals on wheels delivers to here every day. like most residents in the county, she voted for donald trump. are you surprised? >> yes. >> reporter: why? because he said he was going to help us. >> reporter: what would you tell him to convince him not to cut this program? >> what if i was your momma? >> reporter: despite the fact this program is i in jeopardy, linda preast says she still supports trump. meals on wheels in this pocket of georgia says if this funding is eliminated, nearly 300 people will stop getting their daily meal. >> mason: michelle miller, thank you. in south korea today secretary of state rex tillerson said the u.s. will not rule out use of force to confront a growing nuclear threat from the north. david martin now at the pentagon. >> reporter: the last two times north korea has fired off missiles, this multiple launch earlier this month and a more advanced model in february, u.s. intelligence has been caught by surprise. north korea's increasing ability to launch without warning is one reason secretary of state tillerson overturned two decades of u.s. policy toward north korea. >> the policy of strategic patience has ended. we're exploring a new range of diplomatic, security and economic measures. >> reporter: strategic patience is the diplomatic way of saying the u.s. has relied on economic sanctions, covert cab taj and cyber attacks to make it difficult for north korea to develop nuclear weapons, but, as president trump put it in a tweet, north korea is behaving very badly, they have been playing the united states for years. following a visit to the d.m.z. dividing the two koreas, secretary tillerson said, in effect, no more games, and raised the threat of a preemptive strike against the north. >> if they elevate the threat of their weapons program to a level that we believe requires action, that option is on the table. >> reporter: but a preemptive strike wouldum certainly result in a massive loss of life by drirging a north korean artillery barrage on the south korean capitol of seoul. secretary tillerson will travel next to beijing in an effort to convince president xi to use his country's economic leverage to pressure north korea into giving up its weapons program. but according to president's tweet, china has done little to help. secretary tillerson said all options are on the table but a defense department official added none are good options. anthony. >> mason: thank you, david. still ahead, scott pelley in south sudan where aid workers are risking their lives to save hundreds of thousands from starvation. and this young boy is on a and this young boy is on a different kind of rescue mission. steve hartman will have his steve hartman will have his story. ite like an "unjection™". xeljanz xr. a once daily pill for adults with moderate to severe ra for whom methotrexate did not work well. xeljanz xr can reduce pain, swelling and joint damage, even without methotrexate. xeljanz xr can lower your ability to fight infections, including tuberculosis. serious, sometimes fatal infections, lymphoma and other cancers have happened. don't start xeljanz xr if you have an infection. tears in the stomach or intestines, low blood cell counts and higher liver tests and cholesterol levels have happened. your doctor should perform blood tests before you start and while taking xeljanz xr, and monitor certain liver tests. tell your doctor if you were in a region where fungal infections are common and if you have had tb, hepatitis b or c, or are prone to infections. needles. fine for some. but for you, one pill a day may provide symptom relief. ask your doctor about xeljanz xr. an "unjection™". or is it your allergy pills?
