Captioning sponsored by cbs this is the cbs evening news with scott pelley. Pelley good evening. Those defective General Motors ignition switches did more harm than we knew. Today the death toll was raised from 13 to 19. The new number came from ken feinberg, who is in charge of gms Victim Compensation process. Hes received a total of 125 death claims. Some are still being evaluated, so the death toll is expected to grow. Heres jeff glor. Reporter in 2006, 18yearold Natasha Weigel was killed inside a chevy cobalt inside rural wisconsin. Gm had not linked her death to a defective ignition switch until today. Ken rimmier is natashas stepfather. Its closure for us, but its a step in the right direction. Gms faulty switch, which we first reported on in february, can cause engines to suddenly shut off. Disabling air bags and other safety features. Gm first detected a problem during testing in 1999. They were still put in cars starting in 2002. Despite complaints, accidents and deaths, the recalls didnt begin until 2014, 12 years later. Until just a few months ago, gm insisted the number of deaths linked to the defects was only 13. Bob hilliard represents many of the victims. I think gmsen tet on framing the conversation by mentioning 13 was disingenuous because theres just so many folks we never even discovered. Reporter ken feinberg has received 445 total claims so far. That includes 125 for deaths, 58 for lifealtering injuries, including paralysis or amputation, and 262 for less serious injuries. The challenge here is many of these accidents occurred a decade ago. Trying reconstruct a link between the ignition switch and the accident is a challenge. Reporter feinberg is accepting claims until the end of this year. He will also begin assigning dollar values. Some will expect to receive millions or they can say no and see gm in court. Pelley today in paris, two dozen countries signed up to fight isis, the Islamic Terrorist Army that is occupying much of syria and iraq. Secretary of state john kerry said the u. S. Would even be willing to talk to iran about a role. The fight has taken on more urgency with the beheading of a third person, a british aid worker this time. Elizabeth palmer is in london. Reporter the c. I. A. Says isis now has up to 31,000 fighters. Some countries have to be convinced to join the u. S. Led campaign against them, but britain has no choice. David haines, the aid worker whose execution video was posted this weekend, is british. And his presumed executioner, the same man who appeared with the american journalist Steven Sotloff and james foley, is also believed to be from the u. K. Also Security Forces here believe 500 british men and even some women have joined isis ranks. Prime minister David Cameron says the country has to confront isis. They claim to do this in the name of islam. That is nonsense. Islam is a religion of peace. They are not muslims. They are monsters. Reporter but cameron stopped short of authorizing air strikes like the u. S. He has to try to convince the country from breaking up in a Scottish Independence referendum this week. Hes not sure the country would support a British Bombing campaign, but he may soon have his hand forced. Alan henning made it over the border and was immediately taken prisoner. Now isis says he will be the next to die. And as a horrified world has learned recently, they are deadly serious. The most recent polls show a majority of britains already back the u. S. Strikes against isis, and another heading may shift Public Opinion to back the British Military going in, too. Pelley liz, thank you. The United States is keeping up pressure on the terrorists with air strikes on isis targets. The latest was southwest of baghdad. The new strategy that the president announced last week includes expanding the air strikes into syria, but Major Garrett tells us that planning is still under way. Major . Were still trying to determine what targets to hit in syria, but senior officials tell us when those air strikes begin, american warplanes will attack Syrian Air Defense systems if they attempt to interfere with bombing raids against isis targets. Officials also tell several arab nations the identities at the General Assembly next week have agreed to support an expanded u. S. Air strikes campaign in iraq and one thats coming in syria. Tomorrow president obama will meet face to face with retired marine general john allen. He was called back into service to lead the International Coalition against isis. Alan was the commander of nato and u. S. Forces in afghanistan from 2011 to 2013. In addition to military aid, the biggest u. S. Request of arab nations is to stem the flow of foreign fighters and cash heading to isis. Pelley Major Garrett at the white house this evening. Major, thanks very much. There were new developments today in the nfl scandal. The league took a number of hits last week with players linked to Domestic Violence. Today the Minnesota Vikings said running back Adrian Peterson who was benched yesterday will play next sunday. And the Players Union said the indefinite suspension of ray rice will be suspended. Vladimir duthiers is following this. The union believes the league doesnt have the authority to punish rice twice for the same incident. They point to the collective Bargaining Agreement which states, the commissioner and a club will not both disa republican a player for the same act or conduct. Rice was originally suspended for two games by the league. After the full video emerged a week ago today showing him knocking out his soontobe wife in an elevator, nfl commissioner Roger Goodell suspended him indefinitely and he was cut by the ravens. Jason l la canfora is an analyst. He wasnt released when he was hurt. He was released because this tape came out. Reporter the news of rices appeal comes as the Minnesota Vikings announce star running back Karl Peterjohn will be back on the field. He was benched last week after being indicted for allegedly abusing his fouryearold son. The vikings general manager rick spielman. Based on what we learned today and the facts that we know, we feel this was the best decision for our organization. Reporter peterson was a hot topic this weekend. My mom was wrong to teach me some of that stuff she taught me. This was a whipping of a fouryearold boy, for gods sake. In a statement posted on social media, Adrian Peterson defends what he calls discipline, saying, im not a perfect son. Im not a perfect husband. Im not a perfect parent, but i am, without a doubt, not a child abuser. This has been described as the worst week in nfl history, with the handling of two other Domestic Violence cases also in the spotlight. Michael mccann, a sports law expert, says public pressure on commissioner Roger Goodell will grow. There are now serious questions about the appropriateness of him continuing on his commission with the league. There are a variety of groups that have argued that she should resign. It wouldnt surprise me if we see Roger Goodell lose some powers. Roger goodell wrote a letter to the teams today saying the nfl will create an Advisory Panel led by four experts, all women to, help shape the leagues policies related to Domestic Violence and assault. As for ray rice, once an appeal is filed, the hearing has to be scheduled within 13 days. Pelley and goodell still enjoys the support of the owners. The midterm elections are seven weeks away, but political pundits, of course, are already looking past them to the race for president in 2016. Over the weekend, Hillary Clinton was in iowa for where the first votes are cast. She attended senator tom harkins annual steak fry, a must for democratic president ial candidates.

She hasnt been to iowa since she ran in 2008. So naturally they wondered if this means shes planning a repeat. It is true. I am thinking about it. [applause] but for today, that is not why im here. Im here for the steak. Reporter the annual harkin steak fry has hosted democratic president ial hopefuls for decades, including arkansas governor bill clinton in 1992 and senator Hillary Clinton in 2007. She had to share the stage with five of her opponents. This time she was the main attraction. She certainly seemed like a candidate, posing for a photo op at the grill, lingering on the line, shaking hands. Wow. Thats pretty good. Reporter Linda Johnson of des moines asked for a selfy with the former first lady and got one. Im pretty much leaning toward her if she runs. Reporter and volunteer supporters were everywhere handing out proclinton buttons. You ready for another campaign . Were just here because were democrats.

Pelley we have on update tonight on a cbs news investigation of what some Drug Companies are accused of doing to west boost their profits at e expense of patients. Its a way of steering patients away from cheaper generic drugs. Today new york state sued the makers of the alzheimers drug nameda, accusing the company of violating antitrust laws. Dr. Jon lapook has the followup. Mike hitch is 54, has early onset dementia, and takes the alzheimers medication nameda ir twice a day. This is the 12hour deal, 7 a. M. , 7 p. M. The drug is due to go generic next year. Before that product becomes available, nameda ir is scheduled to be withdrawn from the market. Instead doctors are being asked to transition patients to nameda xr, a once daily pill that has additional patent protection and is unlikely to go generic for years. Its a strategy called forced switch. I may have dementia and alzheimers and all, that but theyre going to make millions and billions of dollars off it. Nameda generates about 1. 5 billion in annual sales, so loss of pat btd protection could translate to more than a billion dollars in lost revenue in a single year. Todays lawsuit seems to block Forest Laboratories and its Parents Company from withdrawing the drug, calling the strategy illegal and charges attorney generalled swift is an effort to manipulate patients and impede competition from cheaper generic drugs and perpetuate defendants monopoly products. Eric schneiderman is the new York State Attorney general. This is hundreds of millions of doll theres will either be paid by alzheimers patients or by all of us, because 70 of these patients rely on medicare and medicaid. We reached out to actavis late this afternoon. The company said it does not comment on pending litigation. C. E. O. Brent saunders discussed nameda during a Conference Call in january. We obtained a recording of the call. We believe by potentially doing a force switch, well hold on to a large share of our base users. He also talks about the challenges Generic Companies face. Its very difficult to reverse commute back, at least with the existing rx. They dont have the capability and its an obstacle. Theyll allow us to i think again go into a slow decline versus a complete cliff. When Generic Companies compete, the price of a drug usually drops 70 to 80 . Attorney general schneiderman says the tactics of the company threaten access to a cheaper medication for this especially vulnerable population. Dr. Jon lapook, cbs news, new york.
