is the "cbs overnight news." welcome to the overnight news, i'm michelle miller. the united nations issued a warning to the iraqi forces closing in on the city of fallujah. beware civilian casualties. the u.n. says 400 iraqi families have been rounded up by isis gunmen and taken to the city center possibly to act as human shields. 50,000 civilians are trapped in city now. a few thousand managed to escape. fallujah under isis control more than two years. charlie d'agata has been to the front lines in this war and is watching events unfold from london. >> iraqi special forces say before dawn, isis militants used tunnels to get snipers and sent six suicide car bombs towards the troops all destroyed before they hit their target. but it is just a hint of the fight to come. their accuracy may be lacking. but the aim for iraqi forces and shiite militias is clear. tighten the noose on militants in fallujah. commanders say ground troops are closing in on three sides, led by elite iraqi counterterrorism forces backed up by u.s.-led air strikes. but u.s. military officials in baghdad tell cbs news iraqi forces have yet to advance into the city itself. and that won't be easy. although a few hundred residents managed to escape. tens of thousands more thought to be trapped in the city. held hostage by isis militants intent on using them as human shields. iraqi officials estimate more than 1,000 isis fighters remain in the city that was the first to fall to isis more than two years ago. it took eight months to recapture nearby city and this is what it looked like when it was over. iraqi forces have discovered networks of tunnels left behind by isis militants. an entire neighborhoods boobytrapped with home made bombs. when we were last with iraqi soldiers outside fallujah they were worried the closer they got to the city the more vulnerable they would be to suicide car bombs trying to pierce their fragile front lines. even as forces push into fallujah, isis struck back elsewhere. unleashing a wave of suicide bombings in the capital that have left more than 100 people dead. and counting. this morning the u.n. announced 3,700 people have fled since the offensive began. but they're risking their lives to try. isis controlled all of the roads leading out of the city. they have been known to execute anybody attempting to leave. >> here in the u.s., the outrage continues over the killing of pharambe, the gorilla at the cincinnati zoo. harambe was shot after a 4-year-old boy managed to find his way into the gorilla exhibit. local police and federal investigators are looking into the incident and the parents could face charges. but this wasn't the first bout of trouble at the zoo. in march someone left a door open to the polar bear exhibit. two bears walked out and were later shot with tranquilizer darts. jamie yuccas reports. >> reporter: cincinnati zoo officials say harambe was agitated and disoriented after he encountered a child in his enclosure saturday. >> we did not take the shooting of harambe lightly, but the child's life was in danger. >> monday, thane maynard doubled down on the decision to shoot the western lowland gorilla -- oh, my god. >> after a 4-year-old boy climbed over a public barrier into the gorilla habitat. >> people who question that don't understand you can't take a risk with a silverback gorilla. they're very big. three times bigger than a man. six times stronger. >> reporter: the woman who took this video, kim o'connor heard the boy and his mother arguing shortly before the incident. >> i'm going to go in. no you are not. i'm going to go in. no you are not. >> harambe's death its under heavy scrutiny. more than 300,000 people signed signed a petition calling for the boys' parents to be held responsible. >> the zblioo its not a babysit. >> wildlife biologist jeff corwin isn't placing blame but says the public should be more attentive. >> we have responsibilities when we take our families. a lot of times we get lost in our cell phone or selfie picture, or texting. we are not keeping an eye on what is going on with our children. these are wild animals, not animatronics at disney world. the boy made his way past a 3 foot fence and 4 feet of plants and shrubs before dropping 15 feet into the mote below. and although the cincinnati zoo is standing by its decision, they too are mourning the gorilla along with jerry stones who took care of harambe for the first 15 years of his life. >> he was not mean. he was a gentle little guy. unforeseen circumstance was born. he had to lse. >> reporter: despite the outcry over the responsibility of the boy's parents, cbs has not confirmed whether his father was present at the zoo. zoo officials say that they have drills to prepare them for these types of situations. and had practiced the week before the incident. in rome, work on a subway line had to grind to a halt when excavators came across ancient ruins. >> reporter: when expanding the subway line in rome there is time built into the schedule for what they call archaeological risk. finding something they had never expected. it is a city with subway stops near places like the famed spanish steps. trevi fountain. or this stop, colliseo. that's the coliseum. so expanding the metro creates challenges and rather spectacular discoveries. we were invited to the construction site where the line c subway is being built, looks more like an archaeological dig. but this is rome. was it a surprise to find this? >> yes, absolutely. >> reporter: francesco prespereti, showed us what they uncovered when digging down several stories to build the subway station. >> now we are 9 meters deep. >> reporter: wow. around 2,000 years ago, these were military barracks for emperor hadrian's army. >> the rooms were decorated with mosaics and frescoes, the rooms were weapons storage and sleeping areas for troops of ancient rome. 13 adult skeletons were also uncovered. >> if we haven't built this station, we would never find, never have found this, this, roman remains. >> reporter: instead of stopping work or relocating the find, the plan is to have an architect design a way to incorporate the discovery into the metro stop itself. it will become rome's first archaeological station, and likely be along the lines of metro museums in places like athens greece where travelers at a number of subway stops can look at ancient artifacts across the capital. >> a subway system plagued by delays. are we seeing the reason here? >> no. the problem is not the archaeology. most of the problems of the delays in construction of metropolitana are due to finance problem. >> reporter: not having enough money? >> not having enough money. >> reporter: the line c subway system not scheduled to be completed until 2021. plenty of delays. many for far less visual just as ancient problem, corruption. apple and google on the cutting edge of turning your cell phone into a virtual wall e the whole idea has been slow to catch on in the u.s. but one ken tree, kenya has been using virtual currency for years. lesley stahl paid a visit for "60 minutes." >> at a bus station in nairobi, buses were not only loaded with humans and cargo, but with cash. it used to be the only way for people working in the cities to get money to relatives back in their remote villages. >> give the cash to the bus driver. then you say when you get to the village, you will see someone at the crossroads, give the money to him. guess what happens? the money evaporates. >> reporter: the ceo of kenya's largest cell phone provider, safaricom says his company sought to solve the problem. while a majority of kenyans don't have a bank account, 8 in 10 have access to a cell phone. in 2007, safaricom started offering a way to use the cell phone to send and receive cash. they call it m-pesa, m stand for mobile, pesa is money in swa he swahili. >> kenya's alternative currency safer and mr. secure. >> reporter: you are texting money? >> texting money. >> reporter: how sophisticate the is the phone that you use for m-pesa, a smart phone? >> no, the cheapest phone you can have. designed to work at the lowest level of technology. >> reporter: hello. hi hour, are you? >> i'm fine. >> reporter: to get the currency you go to an m-pesa kiosk, give the agent 3,000 shillings, $30 in cash. she converts it to virtual currency on my account. >> reporter: this is pretty easy. not like omening a bank account. there are over 100,000 of a gents look her across kenya creating a giant grid of human, atms. for most this is a side business. so a pharmacy will sell m-pesa or roadside spice shop. this basher will give you a shave and m-pesa. yes, you can even buy m-pesa here. >> this is banking. >> dent need the branches. don't need the branches. don't need the atm windows. >> absolutely not. scrolling down the options on the menu. send money. withdraw cash. pay a bill or buy goods and services. everyone uses a pin number for security. but this is not like paying with your smartphone in the u.s. because our devices are linked to a been bank account or credit card. most kenyans don't have a bank the phone is it. >> that's it. >> now spend the 3,000 shillings on anything. >> shopping in the name of journalism. i like this. can i pay you in m-pesa. >> if you have it. on the phone. click the button it goes. >> daniel says kenyans to it for everything from taxis to taxes. >> is it safer for you and for me to use m-pesa? >> yeah, very safe. >> reporter: do you use m-pesa to buy gas for the car? >> absolutely. >> reporter: pay all your bills with m-pesa? >> most bills. rarely go to the bank nowadays. >> reporter: at my destination i tried using the phone money. >> i have never done this before. you are my very first m-pesa. >> m-pesa skus myrrh. >> reporter: i typed in his mobile phone number and the amount. 700 shillings or $7. >> i will give you $1,000. thank you very much. god bless you. god bless you. >> reporter: there we go. now my pin number. no, i will not tell you. that is your top secret. >> reporter: what do i do now? >> accept. >> reporter: accept. okay. >> yeah, it does come. >> reporter: it worked. now i will go spend more money. hello. >> how are you? >> reporter: great. i love these bags. how much? >> reporter: next i buy a bag at angie's curio shop in m-pesa? >> do you use it. like having a bank in your pocket. >> this is really easy. the second time i have done it. sent it. wow. so wonderful. my shopping ended with animals. no, i am not buying a giraffe. but you can use your phone to feed one. >> giving you your dinner. >> most transactions are still in cash. m-pesa its used by 23 million kenyans, 90% of adults from the well heeled to the shoe shiner. this technology was actually invented in england. but it is here in kenya where innovation uses m-pesa is taking off. we visited the ihub in nairobi where local technology startups are inventing new ways to use mobile money. >> that mobile money system now acts as a terrific platform which a lot of other innovations has used as a springboard in the new phrase around town is the silicone savannah. >> silicone savannah. >> you have silicon valley. here it is silicon savannahs. >> today, kenyans can get their salary sent to their cell phones. they can open a savings account and earn interest on their cell phones. >> going to push m-pesa. we met mary tonke, a dairy farmer, sells milk in m-pes, pays farm hand in m-pesa and got a len to buy cows in m-pesa. couple buttons, you buy a cow? >> yes. actually, mary was able to buy two new cows and got a better rate than she would at a bank. since the loan transaction was by phone. there was hardly any overhead. >> rapidly increasing your business. >> yes. >> bitzness is good. yes it is good. we were surprised how much m-pesa changed life for the poor. in a slum south of nairobi, we met a pig farmer. before m-pesa, like most kenyans he had no electricity. and used to rely on ape kerosene lamp. it emitted toxic fumes, could cause fires and at $200 a year, kerosene wasn't cheap. but steven reefs leent upgraded. he got solar power. and his first lightbulb. >> pretty good. it's lieft lighting your room. >> all over. m-copa solar, provided inexpensive power to the slums, using m-pesa. >> the panel up here? >> yeah, i can. >> can you show it to sunny. >> yeah, here, up. let me show you. oh, my goodness. it is little. >> reporter: the unit costs $180. less than kerosene. still out of steven aech price range for a single purchase. he paid $35 up front and 40 cents a day in m-pesa for a year. he never has to leave the farm. all he does is click his phone. which activates a chip attached to the panel to turn it on. when you're finished paying it off. >> it will be mine. no more cost. >> reporter: the solar panel changed his life. he can tend to his pigs at night. his children can study indoors without breathing toxic kerosene fumes. past efforts to introduce solar panels to the slums failed. in part because they were stolen. this has been solved because the same chip that turns the panel on can also disable it. if you don't pay up, they turn your lights off? they have ability to -- to turn them off. >> these guys are excellent, madam. because once i don't pay they don't have how to come to me. the light just goes off. >> reporter: providing drinking walter another way m-pesa is making a difference. a third of kenyans do not have access to clean water. often receive lying on ape river or water trucked in by donkey. but the village got a new pump for its well. villagers pay for clean water by texting m-pesa to the meter box which unlocks the pump. a villager can get a month of walter for $6. for decades, development advocates implored banks to opponenten branches in reap mote places, but it made little business sense. nearly half of kenyans live on just $2 a day or less. their financial transactions were just too small. >> people don't buy a packet of cigarettes. they will buy a cigarette. we need to be operating at that level. people don't buy a tube of toothpaste. you go into the slums. see people buy a squeeze of toothpaste. you have to operate that microlevel. >> you can see that full report on our website, cbsnews.com. the overnight news will be

is the "cbs overnight news." welcome to the overnight news, i'm michelle miller. the united nations issued a warning to the iraqi forces closing in on the city of fallujah. beware civilian casualties. the u.n. says 400 iraqi families have been rounded up by isis gunmen and taken to the city center possibly to act as human shields. 50,000 civilians are trapped in city now. a few thousand managed to escape. fallujah under isis control more than two years. charlie d'agata has been to the front lines in this war and is watching events unfold from london. >> iraqi special forces say before dawn, isis militants used tunnels to get snipers and sent six suicide car bombs towards the troops all destroyed before they hit their target. but it is just a hint of the fight to come. their accuracy may be lacking. but the aim for iraqi forces and shiite militias is clear. tighten the noose on militants in fallujah. commanders say ground troops are closing in on three sides, led by elite iraqi counterterrorism forces backed up by u.s.-led air strikes. but u.s. military officials in baghdad tell cbs news iraqi forces have yet to advance into the city itself. and that won't be easy. although a few hundred residents managed to escape. tens of thousands more thought to be trapped in the city. held hostage by isis militants intent on using them as human shields. iraqi officials estimate more than 1,000 isis fighters remain in the city that was the first to fall to isis more than two years ago. it took eight months to recapture nearby city and this is what it looked like when it was over. iraqi forces have discovered networks of tunnels left behind by isis militants. an entire neighborhoods boobytrapped with home made bombs. when we were last with iraqi soldiers outside fallujah they were worried the closer they got to the city the more vulnerable they would be to suicide car bombs trying to pierce their fragile front lines. even as forces push into fallujah, isis struck back elsewhere. unleashing a wave of suicide bombings in the capital that have left more than 100 people dead. and counting. this morning the u.n. announced 3,700 people have fled since the offensive began. but they're risking their lives to try. isis controlled all of the roads leading out of the city. they have been known to execute anybody attempting to leave. >> here in the u.s., the outrage continues over the killing of pharambe, the gorilla at the cincinnati zoo. harambe was shot after a 4-year-old boy managed to find his way into the gorilla exhibit. local police and federal investigators are looking into the incident and the parents could face charges. but this wasn't the first bout of trouble at the zoo. in march someone left a door open to the polar bear exhibit. two bears walked out and were later shot with tranquilizer darts. jamie yuccas reports. >> reporter: cincinnati zoo officials say harambe was agitated and disoriented after he encountered a child in his enclosure saturday. >> we did not take the shooting of harambe lightly, but the child's life was in danger. >> monday, thane maynard doubled down on the decision to shoot the western lowland gorilla -- oh, my god. >> after a 4-year-old boy climbed over a public barrier into the gorilla habitat. >> people who question that don't understand you can't take a risk with a silverback gorilla. they're very big. three times bigger than a man. six times stronger. >> reporter: the woman who took this video, kim o'connor heard the boy and his mother arguing shortly before the incident. >> i'm going to go in. no you are not. i'm going to go in. no you are not. >> harambe's death its under heavy scrutiny. more than 300,000 people signed signed a petition calling for the boys' parents to be held responsible. >> the zblioo its not a babysit. >> wildlife biologist jeff corwin isn't placing blame but says the public should be more attentive. >> we have responsibilities when we take our families. a lot of times we get lost in our cell phone or selfie picture, or texting. we are not keeping an eye on what is going on with our children. these are wild animals, not animatronics at disney world. the boy made his way past a 3 foot fence and 4 feet of plants and shrubs before dropping 15 feet into the mote below. and although the cincinnati zoo is standing by its decision, they too are mourning the gorilla along with jerry stones who took care of harambe for the first 15 years of his life. >> he was not mean. he was a gentle little guy. unforeseen circumstance was born. he had to lse. >> reporter: despite the outcry over the responsibility of the boy's parents, cbs has not confirmed whether his father was present at the zoo. zoo officials say that they have drills to prepare them for these types of situations. and had practiced the week before the incident. in rome, work on a subway line had to grind to a halt when excavators came across ancient ruins. >> reporter: when expanding the subway line in rome there is time built into the schedule for what they call archaeological risk. finding something they had never expected. it is a city with subway stops near places like the famed spanish steps. trevi fountain. or this stop, colliseo. that's the coliseum. so expanding the metro creates challenges and rather spectacular discoveries. we were invited to the construction site where the line c subway is being built, looks more like an archaeological dig. but this is rome. was it a surprise to find this? >> yes, absolutely. >> reporter: francesco prespereti, showed us what they uncovered when digging down several stories to build the subway station. >> now we are 9 meters deep. >> reporter: wow. around 2,000 years ago, these were military barracks for emperor hadrian's army. >> the rooms were decorated with mosaics and frescoes, the rooms were weapons storage and sleeping areas for troops of ancient rome. 13 adult skeletons were also uncovered. >> if we haven't built this station, we would never find, never have found this, this, roman remains. >> reporter: instead of stopping work or relocating the find, the plan is to have an architect design a way to incorporate the discovery into the metro stop itself. it will become rome's first archaeological station, and likely be along the lines of metro museums in places like athens greece where travelers at a number of subway stops can look at ancient artifacts across the capital. >> a subway system plagued by delays. are we seeing the reason here? >> no. the problem is not the archaeology. most of the problems of the delays in construction of metropolitana are due to finance problem. >> reporter: not having enough money? >> not having enough money. >> reporter: the line c subway system not scheduled to be completed until 2021. plenty of delays. many for far less visual just as ancient problem, corruption. apple and google on the cutting edge of turning your cell phone into a virtual wall e the whole idea has been slow to catch on in the u.s. but one ken tree, kenya has been using virtual currency for years. lesley stahl paid a visit for "60 minutes." >> at a bus station in nairobi, buses were not only loaded with humans and cargo, but with cash. it used to be the only way for people working in the cities to get money to relatives back in their remote villages. >> give the cash to the bus driver. then you say when you get to the village, you will see someone at the crossroads, give the money to him. guess what happens? the money evaporates. >> reporter: the ceo of kenya's largest cell phone provider, safaricom says his company sought to solve the problem. while a majority of kenyans don't have a bank account, 8 in 10 have access to a cell phone. in 2007, safaricom started offering a way to use the cell phone to send and receive cash. they call it m-pesa, m stand for mobile, pesa is money in swa he swahili. >> kenya's alternative currency safer and mr. secure. >> reporter: you are texting money? >> texting money. >> reporter: how sophisticate the is the phone that you use for m-pesa, a smart phone? >> no, the cheapest phone you can have. designed to work at the lowest level of technology. >> reporter: hello. hi hour, are you? >> i'm fine. >> reporter: to get the currency you go to an m-pesa kiosk, give the agent 3,000 shillings, $30 in cash. she converts it to virtual currency on my account. >> reporter: this is pretty easy. not like omening a bank account. there are over 100,000 of a gents look her across kenya creating a giant grid of human, atms. for most this is a side business. so a pharmacy will sell m-pesa or roadside spice shop. this basher will give you a shave and m-pesa. yes, you can even buy m-pesa here. >> this is banking. >> dent need the branches. don't need the branches. don't need the atm windows. >> absolutely not. scrolling down the options on the menu. send money. withdraw cash. pay a bill or buy goods and services. everyone uses a pin number for security. but this is not like paying with your smartphone in the u.s. because our devices are linked to a been bank account or credit card. most kenyans don't have a bank the phone is it. >> that's it. >> now spend the 3,000 shillings on anything. >> shopping in the name of journalism. i like this. can i pay you in m-pesa. >> if you have it. on the phone. click the button it goes. >> daniel says kenyans to it for everything from taxis to taxes. >> is it safer for you and for me to use m-pesa? >> yeah, very safe. >> reporter: do you use m-pesa to buy gas for the car? >> absolutely. >> reporter: pay all your bills with m-pesa? >> most bills. rarely go to the bank nowadays. >> reporter: at my destination i tried using the phone money. >> i have never done this before. you are my very first m-pesa. >> m-pesa skus myrrh. >> reporter: i typed in his mobile phone number and the amount. 700 shillings or $7. >> i will give you $1,000. thank you very much. god bless you. god bless you. >> reporter: there we go. now my pin number. no, i will not tell you. that is your top secret. >> reporter: what do i do now? >> accept. >> reporter: accept. okay. >> yeah, it does come. >> reporter: it worked. now i will go spend more money. hello. >> how are you? >> reporter: great. i love these bags. how much? >> reporter: next i buy a bag at angie's curio shop in m-pesa? >> do you use it. like having a bank in your pocket. >> this is really easy. the second time i have done it. sent it. wow. so wonderful. my shopping ended with animals. no, i am not buying a giraffe. but you can use your phone to feed one. >> giving you your dinner. >> most transactions are still in cash. m-pesa its used by 23 million kenyans, 90% of adults from the well heeled to the shoe shiner. this technology was actually invented in england. but it is here in kenya where innovation uses m-pesa is taking off. we visited the ihub in nairobi where local technology startups are inventing new ways to use mobile money. >> that mobile money system now acts as a terrific platform which a lot of other innovations has used as a springboard in the new phrase around town is the silicone savannah. >> silicone savannah. >> you have silicon valley. here it is silicon savannahs. >> today, kenyans can get their salary sent to their cell phones. they can open a savings account and earn interest on their cell phones. >> going to push m-pesa. we met mary tonke, a dairy farmer, sells milk in m-pes, pays farm hand in m-pesa and got a len to buy cows in m-pesa. couple buttons, you buy a cow? >> yes. actually, mary was able to buy two new cows and got a better rate than she would at a bank. since the loan transaction was by phone. there was hardly any overhead. >> rapidly increasing your business. >> yes. >> bitzness is good. yes it is good. we were surprised how much m-pesa changed life for the poor. in a slum south of nairobi, we met a pig farmer. before m-pesa, like most kenyans he had no electricity. and used to rely on ape kerosene lamp. it emitted toxic fumes, could cause fires and at $200 a year, kerosene wasn't cheap. but steven reefs leent upgraded. he got solar power. and his first lightbulb. >> pretty good. it's lieft lighting your room. >> all over. m-copa solar, provided inexpensive power to the slums, using m-pesa. >> the panel up here? >> yeah, i can. >> can you show it to sunny. >> yeah, here, up. let me show you. oh, my goodness. it is little. >> reporter: the unit costs $180. less than kerosene. still out of steven aech price range for a single purchase. he paid $35 up front and 40 cents a day in m-pesa for a year. he never has to leave the farm. all he does is click his phone. which activates a chip attached to the panel to turn it on. when you're finished paying it off. >> it will be mine. no more cost. >> reporter: the solar panel changed his life. he can tend to his pigs at night. his children can study indoors without breathing toxic kerosene fumes. past efforts to introduce solar panels to the slums failed. in part because they were stolen. this has been solved because the same chip that turns the panel on can also disable it. if you don't pay up, they turn your lights off? they have ability to -- to turn them off. >> these guys are excellent, madam. because once i don't pay they don't have how to come to me. the light just goes off. >> reporter: providing drinking walter another way m-pesa is making a difference. a third of kenyans do not have access to clean water. often receive lying on ape river or water trucked in by donkey. but the village got a new pump for its well. villagers pay for clean water by texting m-pesa to the meter box which unlocks the pump. a villager can get a month of walter for $6. for decades, development advocates implored banks to opponenten branches in reap mote places, but it made little business sense. nearly half of kenyans live on just $2 a day or less. their financial transactions were just too small. >> people don't buy a packet of cigarettes. they will buy a cigarette. we need to be operating at that level. people don't buy a tube of toothpaste. you go into the slums. see people buy a squeeze of toothpaste. you have to operate that microlevel. >> you can see that full report on our website, cbsnews.com. the overnight news will be
