Scott, late last year, an Obama Administration official said that we would never expect russia to come out with their hands up they dont do that. Pelley jeff pegues in the washington newsroom. Cbs news has learned this evening that Russian Hackers are suspected of interfering with a news site in the gulf state of qatar. And they may have put out fake information. The f. B. I. Is assisting in the investigation. Meanwhile, qatar is at the center of a crisis. A number of arab nations have cut diplomatic and commercial ties, and heres Margaret Brennan. Reporter President Trump appeared to take credit for sparking the diplomatic crisis. In a series of tweets, the president said his recent visit to saudi arabia was paying off, as the kingdom and nine other countries severed relations with qatar for allegedly funding radical ideology. But the president made no mention of that last month when he met with the qatari instead, offering to sell him weapons. Lots of beautiful military equipment. Reporter during that trip, the president vowed to unify the muslim world against terrorism and iran. But tensions spiked in the past 24 hours, with countries in the region closing their air space to qatari planes, blocking trade, and cutting diplomatic ties, sparking qataris to stockpile food. The u. S. Launches air strikes against isis and syria in iraq from a base in qatar. The tiny gulf emirate hosts around 10,000 u. S. Troops. Thats one reason secretary of state Rex Tillerson has tried to deescalate the crisis. We certainly would encourage the parties to sit down together and address these differences. Reporter and yesterday, u. S. Ambassador dana smith praised qatars Great Partnership in countering terrorist financing. Smith has broken with the president before, lamenting last month on twitter that it is increasingly difficult to spend the day explaining our democracy and institutions. Today, state Department SpokespersonHeather Nauert tried to soften the president s comments on qatar. They have made progress, but they still have work to do. More work needs to be done. Reporter smith is not the only frustrated longterm diplomat. But, scott, while President Trump wants his own nominees in place, hes only appointed 11 ambassadors to fill 188 empty state department slots. Pelley Margaret Brennan at the state department, thanks. In paris today, a man attacked a Police Officer with a hammer outside notre dame cathedral, shouting, this is for syria. Fellow officers shot and wound the man, who carried an i. D. Indicating that he was from algeria. The officer who was attacked was not seriously hurt. About 600 tourists were locked inside the cathedral as police secured the scene. Today, British Police identified the third of the London Bridge attackers who killed seven and wounded nearly 50 on saturday night. Youssef zaghba, 22 years old, of italian and moroccan heritage, was identified today. He and khuram butt were known to the police, leading some to wonder whether the attack might have been prevented. The truth is, the police in britain are overwhelmed, and Mark Phillips has more on that. Reporter after the carnage, the questions what can be learned from this attack to prevent more of them . Police here say theyre already monitoring 500 suspects, have 3,000 other people of interest on their radar, and know of 20,000 other potential surveillance targets beyond that. The volume issue has become a major challenge for the Police Intelligence agencies. Reporter Richard Walton used to run londons antiterror unit, and says it can take dozens of officers to watch just one suspect. The police can only be devoted to the top, you know, three, four, 5 of those individuals reporter and how do you pick who they are . And how do you pick who they are . You cant monitor 3,000 individuals all of the time, 24 hours a day. Reporter the socalled new normal keeps changing, especially as pressure on isis continues to build in syria and iraq. The london attacks are the sting in the isis tail. This is a death cult. This is an entity that realizes its losing territory in iraq and syria and wants to take out as many people as it can. Reporter sajjan gohel advises governments and police on terrorism, and says trying to counter isis propaganda doesnt work when, like the london attacks, some are just too far gone. There are bad people out there that have violent tendencies. They have no hesitation to kill children, to mow people down. Countering violent extremisms may work to some degree, but it doesnt stop the zea zealous. Reporter what works is fast and lethal police action, but that, as weve seen, scott, only limits the damage. Theyve started putting up these concrete barriers on some of londons bridges. Protection, they hope, against vehicle attacks on pedestrians. Closing the barn door, perhaps, after the horse has bolted, and also while they try to figure out what to do next. Pelley Mark Phillips, thanks.

But she admitted to staying in contact with cosby after the alleged incident. Inside the courtroom, cosby sat looking at the accuser, frowning and shaking his head at times. The defense has questioned constands credibility. During crossexamination today, Defense Attorneys pointed to constands phone records after the incident, showing she called cosby the same morning she did an Online Search for and contacted philadelphiaarea Defense Attorneys. Hours later, attorneys general say she called cosby again, and after being unable to reach him, it was only then that she filed a police report.

If youre here to create a challenge and make it a story to make it yours forever you are in the right place, yeah reporter and what a challenge it is. The race to alaska is one of the more unusual, more punishing events in american sports. A gruel 750mile boat race from port townsend, to ketchikan, alaska, with just one rule, no motors. So its a gnarly piece of coast, truly one of the last wild places on earth. Reporter and this is the guy behind the race, jake beady. The tide is really high, and the winds can be incredibly dangerous. Reporter last year, some 200 sailors entered the race. Some in row boats and paddle boats, others in high tech carbon fiber catamarans. Not to mention homemade dinghys, made with sails, and others went it alone. The good thing is when youre alone, you win the arguments, you dont know which 11s the arguments but one will win it. Reporter one big challenge is figuring out how to sleep while out on the water. Of rac i think i have gotten about seven hours of sleep, im on my third day of seven sleep. Reporter food is another elfsoo , lugging it along, and eat it.

Their prize . 10,000, barely enough to tow the boat home from alaska. Second prize . And were not kidding here. Is a set of steak knives. To reach ketchikan you have to build your own little victory every hour of every day. Reporter despite the dangers, no one has died in the race yet. But limits have been and will be pushed.

Reporter it took about six months to convert the 48 shipping containers that had been used previously for dry goods into 16 studio apartments that are each about 500 square feet. And while the containers are Strong Enough to be stacked ten stories high, organizers kept it small for a reason. When you deal with people who have been homeless, and you wrou warehouse them in 300 units youre not creating a safety net for people or a human connection.
