This is the cbs evening news. Mason and this is our western edition. Good evening. Im anthony mason. President trump today began unraveling the signature domestic and Foreign Policy achievements of his immediate predecessor. He cut off subsidies for obamacare. More about that in a moment, but first the iran nuclear deal. The president declared iran is not living up to the spirit of it, told congress to fix it or, he warned, he will scrap it. We have reports from washington and tehran. And we begin with white house and Senior Foreign Affairs correspondent Margaret Brennan. We will not continue down a path whose predictable conclusion is more violence, more terror, and the very real threat of Irans Nuclear breakdown. Reporter president mpsed an e spirit of the nuclear deal, but he stopped short of withdrawing from the agreement. Instead, he asked congress to set new terms that satisfy his concerns and gave it power to reimpose sanctions on tehran if it does not comply. Depending on the r

Were going to do very strong background checks. Very strong. Got to do background checks. Again, that was nearly 18 months ago. And he has done nothing since then on background checks. So his lack of action, brekeen promise, is actually odd for at least one really important reason. And that is a reason the president knows. Here he is again today. On background checks, we have tremendous support for really common sense, sensi
Checks on gun purchases. President trump has said similar things before after other Mass Shootings, but little has happened. Cnns pamela brown has this report. We want to take the guns out of the hands of crazy, demented people. Reporter President Trump claiming he will do something on gun control. I think we can get something really good done. I think we can have some really meaningful background checks. Reporter but its not clear what. I think that the republicans are going to be great and lead the change along with the democrats. I spoke to nancy pelosi, chuck schumer, we had a great talk. Reporter the president said he has a commitment to take up background checks from Senate Majority leader Mitch Mcconnell who has been under pressure to bring the senate back from the fiveweek recess and even facing protesters at his kentucky home.
