This is this is the cbs evening news with scott pelley. Tonight from los angeles. Pelley few people expect politicians to keep all their campaign promises, but today in a matter of hours, donald trump reversed himself on three controversial positions that were important to conservative republicans, positions that helped him defeat hillary clinton, including that vow to put her in prison or at least prosecute her. He also revised his positions today on Climate Change and torture. But 59 days before mr. Trump becomes the 45th president , heres chip reid. Reporter at trump rallies lock her up was almost a Campaign Mantra donald trump called her crooked hillary and threatened to puttener jail. Special prosecutor, here we can come, right . Today, at the new york times, where reporters were live tweeting the conversation, mr. Trump said this when asked about prosecuting her, i dont want to hurt the clintons, he said. I really dont. She went through a lot and suffer greatly in many ways. Later he added, i think it would be very, very divisive for the country. He also changed his tune on the issue of Climate Change, and whether its caused by human activity. During the campaign, mr. Trump left no doubt. A lot of its a hoax. Reporter he even said he wanted to cancel the paris accords, an International Agreement negotiated by the Obama Administration to reduce fossil fuel emissions. But today mr. Trump told the time, the i think there is some connectivity between humans and Climate Change. Asked if he wanted to withdraw from Climate Change accords he replied, im looking at that very closely. I have an open mind to it. I would bring back waterboarding and a hell of a during the campaign on the issue of torture, but today he told the times he changed his mind after talking to general james madis, a strong candidate for secretary of defense, and who opposes waterboarding. Madis told mr. Trump, give me a pack of cigarettes and a couple of beers and i will do better. Mr. Trump said today, i was very impressed by that answer. The president elect also made news when asked if it was a conflict of interest to be actively involved in his businesses while also serving as the law is totally on my side.

He used it to lash out at the cast of hamilton and is the night live but hes been silent about the alt right. Hes been silent about it to the general public. He has held nose public event since his Election Night speech and his last full press conference was in july. Tonight. Chip, thank you. During the campaign, mr. Trump said the Clinton Charitable Foundation was a criminal enterprise. Yesterday, as required, the Trump Foundation released its 2015 tax form, and Julianna Goldman has found that the president elects charity is admitting to a violation of its own. Reporter in its most recent tax filing the donald j. Trump foundation said in 2019 it transferred income or assets to previous years. The foundation gave money to someone it shouldnt have. I give a lot of money to people and charities and everything. I love people. Reporter the form, posted to the Charity Database guidestar, doesnt detail specific violations but during the campaign, the Washington Post first reported and cbs verified that mr. Trump violated an i. R. S. Rule by using his foundation for his own benefit. In one example, a man was denied prize money afteor if one at mr. Trumps westchester golf course. He sued and the foundation ultimately gave 158,000 to his charity. To help settle another lawsuit, the Foundation Contributed 100,000 in 2007 to a military charity after the city of palm beach sued mr. Trumps Mara Lago Club for putting up a large flag pole. New York Attorney general Eric Schneiderman has since opened an investigation. Penalty tax and repay the money. Several tax attorneys told us its common for private foundations to report they unintentionally violated self denigrating rules but in this case the president elect is admitting to wrongdoing a series of news reports. Scott, trump representatives did not respond to our request for comment. Pelley Julianna Goldman in our washington newsroom. Thank you.

The dow gained 67 point to close above 19,000 for the First Time Since election, the blue chip index is up nearly 4 . Today, in tennessee, parents told us that they were worried about their School Bus Driver long before he wrapped his bus around a tree. That driver has now been charged with vehicular homicide. Five Young Students were killed intensive care. Mark strassmann is in chattanooga. The bus flipped over. Its occupied with children. They believe there were ejections. Neighbors reported hearing an explosion and the sounds of children screaming. They struck a tree so hard, the bus almost split in two. Investigators say Johnthony Walker was driving recklessly, well above the posted speed limit of 30 miles per hour. Hart we want to make sure that the brakes were working, that the steering was working. We want to find anything that wasnt working. Reporter hours after the crash, parents searched for missing kids. We spotted quadir mateen. Three of his daughters were on the bus. Two were hurt, but one, six yearold ziara, was missing. She was trapped between a seat, but thats it. Reporter an hour later, we he had just learned that ziara was among the children killed. Jasmine mateen is their mother. Angry. Hurt. She wanted to be a doctor. And now my baby cant be that doctor that she wanted to be. Reporter mateen told us for three months, she has complained to School Officials about walkers driving. Walker has no criminal record, but his driving record shows his license was suspended in 2014 for a lack of insurance. And two months ago his bus swiped a car, causing minor damage to both vehicles. Mateen made serious allegations concerning walker and yesterdays crash. My daughter said right before the bus flipped, that he was speeding around a curve, and asked them, are you all ready to die . Are they ready to die . Reporter weve not been able to verify those allegations but mateen is one of three parents we talked to who complained about walkers past driving. Scott we also spoke on the phone with walkers mother. She called her son a good kid and called the crash a terrible accident. Pelley Mark Strassmann covering this tragedy for us tonight. Mark, thank you. Well, as much as 40 inches of snow fell in upstate new york. The snow was whipped up by icy wind off lake ontario near rochester, cars were buried. Snow and rain are expected tomorrow in the upper midwest, just as millions set off for thanksgiving. Here in los angeles, more than 30,000 people will spend the holiday on the street. Homelessness is dropping in much of the country, but not in california. We asked ben tracy to find out more. Home to 500 People Living in the shadow of city hall. They want to pretend we dont exist. Reporter Nick Blinderman is 26, and uses heroin. Ive never in my life seen anything like the drug use around here. Its as common as, like, drinking a cup of cove in the morning. Reporter homelessness is rising in california in part because housing costs and rent have skyrocketed. Nearly 120,000 people are now homeless here. 66 of them live on the street, without shelter in the country. You cannot convince me on any day of the week that this is a way that people should have to live. Reporter Mark Ridley Thomas is a los angeles can county supervise. Tents now line street all over los angeles and Ridley Thomas wants governor jerry brown to declare a state of emergency, using funds for natural disasters to address homelessness. You believe this is a disaster well, its pretty obvious this is simply an intolerable set of circumstances. Reporter on election day, los angeles voters approved a 1. 2 billion plan to build 10,000 units of affordable housing. Its not enough, but its a start. So this is pretty typical of the first step up off the street. Reporter Phillip Mangano is an expert on homelessness, and says programs often focus on hunger or drug use, not Services Without housing leaves people still on the street and in shelters. Troy lives at the tent city in santa ana. There are peoples that you used to teach, there are plumbers, roofers, construction workers. There is everything here but no one is willing to give them that chance because theyve already hit rock bottom. Reporter and the view from the bottom is not pretty. So we asked governor browns that state of emergency and he said that would not be appropriate. He said chronic homelessness, like the kind you see back here, is better dealt with on the local level.

Eliquis treats dvt and pe blood clots and reduces the risk of them happening again. Yes, eliquis treats dvt and pe blood clots. Eliquis also had significantly less major bleeding than the standard treatment. Eliquis can cause serious and in rare cases fatal bleeding. Dont take eliquis if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. If you had a spinal injection while on eliquis call your doctor right away if you have tingling, numbness, or muscle weakness. While taking eliquis, you may bruise more easily.
