Intelligence report that reveals the plot. Heres cbs jeff pegues. Reporter tonight, d. H. S. Is pushing back against claims it buried an intelligence bulletin warning the russians were targeting joe biden. Werejuly document said there was a russian scheme to promote allegations about the Poor Mental Health of biden, of which there is no proof. But it was never sent. In an email obtained by abc news, acting d. H. S. Secretary chad wolfs chief of staff writes, please hold on sending this one until you have a chance to speak to wolf. Tonight, wolf said the document didnt meet his standards. The report that you referenced was, at the end of the day, a very poorly written report. Reporter but the democrats are concerned the Trump Administration is block the flow of key intelligence on election election interference to benefit the president s. The russians dont want me to be the nominee. Reporter the bulletin cited a forming about unfounded claims of bidens miscues. As you know, joe biden, he cesnt have a clue. Reporter as do their campaign commercials. Joe biden is slipping. Reporter the russians have been spreading misinformation on facebook since the last election, and yesterday a fake news site created by a kremlin backed group, discovered by the f. B.

Late today, the attorney general william barr, he claimed that the chinese were the most aggressive heading into the november election. But cyber experts tell us that the russians remain the main culprit. Norah. Odonnell i think were going to be covering a lot more of this. Pthe potential for unrest aroud the election is a concern for facebook c. E. O. Mark zuckerberg. In an exclusive interview with cbs gayle king, zuckerberg warns what would happen if one candidate claims victory prematurely. Were going to take this seriously and make sure that people arent declaring victory and saying any online counting of votes is evidence of a rigged election or anything like that. I think that that would be dangerous. I think it would be kind of delegitimizing of the election. Mid i think it could risk people getting in the streets and civil unrest after the elections, which i think would be very problematic. Odonnell theres more of gayles exclusive interview with Mark Zuckerberg tomorrow this morning, including steps facebook is taking to prepare for the election. Tonight theres growing proof that Vladimir Putin and his government were involved in a different kind of attack. Test results show Alexei Navalny was poisoned by a militarygrade nerve agent, the same one used on an earlier attack one of putins enemies. Heres charlie dagata. Reporter if the poisoning of Alexei Navalny intended to make a statement, novichok comes right out of the kremlin playbook. Novichok, a soviet era poison that cripples the nervous system.

One of russian president Vladimir Putins fiercest critics, navalny was air lifted to berlin, having suddenly fallen ill not long after drinking a cup of tea from the airport before a flight from siberia to moscow last month. He remains on life support henight, and doctors say its too soon to know what longterm damage has been done. Novichok is the same agent used grade nerve agent used to poison other spies in salisbury, england, in 2018. The nav the kremlin has denied any involvement, norah. And tonight, the Russian ForeignMinistry Said the allegations are not backed up by evidence, and theyre demanding a full toxicology report from germany. Odonnell charlie dagata, thank you.

Odonnell this is a special date in cbs news history. 57 years ago tonight the cbs evening news with Walter Cronkite doubled in length from 15 to 30 minutes, the First Network newscast to do so. In a one on one interview john f. Kennedy said the vietnam war would be won or lost by the vietnamese, not the u. S. Military. We here at cbs news promise to uphold the high standards set by cronkite and his coworkers. To borrow walters words, thats the way it is, september 2, 2020. This is the cbs overnight news. Im jeff pegues in washington. Thanks for staying with us. Schools across the nation are struggling with plans to reopen their buildings for inperson instruction while keeping the kids safe. And although the solutions vary from district to district, most paministers have one plea for ifr childssick them home. Before the pandemic hit, only 40 of schools in the u. S. Had a fulltime nurse on staff. That shortage is even worse now with the possibility of the seasonal flu mixing with the coronavirus to overwhelm the schools. Dr. Tara narula has the story. I cover 20 schools and were spread pretty thin. Reporter across the country, nurses like her call the situation dire. The cdcs National Recommendation calls for one nurse for every 750 students. But most states fall short. California averages one to about 2200 students and our district is about one to about 3700 students, so its a big problem when we have 20 nurses for 33,000 kids. Reporter during a pandemic, the importance of a school nurse on campus is more critical than ever. We have over 75 kids who have diabetes and were doing management of kids with really severe medical problems like severe asthma, sickle cell anemia. Reporter nurses say part of their job now includes training others to handle million emergencies, from asthma attacks and an fa lacksist to seizures. Michael, the president of United Federation of teachers says the shortage of nurses adds pressure on an already strained system. What burden has this placed on teachers who are unexpected to step into that role . Well, thats been society shame for quite some time now that the teacher can handle everything. Of course theyll do everything in their power but theyre not medical professionals. For years teachers have been filling the growing void. According to the National Association of School Nurses 25 of schools in the u. S. Have no nurse at all and 35 only have a parttime nurse. This at a time when the nurses responsibilities are expanding. They have to make a medical judgment whether its corona oro
