On earth about to clean up. I found a piece of history that everybody forgot about. This is the cbs evening news. Mason and this is our western edition. Good evening. Im anthony mason. They control the white house and the congress, but republicans could not deliver on the promise theyve been making since the day obamacare became law, to repeal and replace it. In a humiliating defeat, senate g. O. P. Leaders could not muster the votes today to do either. Democrats called on republicans to work with them now not to replace obamacare but to fix it. Nancy cordes is at the capitol. This is not a good day. Reporter Senate Republicans were reeling today after their hail mary pass fell short. Three moderate republican women announced they would not vote to repeal obamacare without a replacement. West virginias Shelly Moore Capito said, i did not come to washington to hurt people. Maines Susan Collins agreed. I believe it would cause the Insurance Markets to go into turmoil, and i dont think it is the right way to proceed. Reporter shes got backup from the nonpartisan congressional budget office, which determined that a 2015 repeal bill with no replacement would have pushed 18 Million People off insurance within a year. The c. B. O. Says that this approach decimates the individual market. This may not be a viable option, but we all voted for it before. So repealing were all for. Replacing were all over the board. Reporter so all over the board that two replacement plans are now in the dustbin. Senate moderates opposed the deep medicaid cuts, while conservatives said too much of obamacare was being left in place. Well, wed like to see the senate move on something. Reporter under pressure today from the house and the white house. And Congress Needs to do their job now. Reporter . Senate leader Mitch Mcconnell announced he will hold a vote to repeal obamacare without a replacement even though he knows it cant pass. If that vote fails, do you then begin working with democrats . Well have to see what happens. We will have demonstrated that republicans by themselves are not prepared at this particular point to do a replacement. Kill that bill reporter democrats said it was proof grassroots opposition works. On twitter they hailed everyone who sent letters, made calls, or attended a town hall. Massachusetts senator ed markey. Its a great day. Its a great victory for the healthcare of the american people. Reporter the g. O. P. Chair of the Senate Health committee announced this afternoon that he will soon Begin Holding Hearings on ways to stabilize the individual insurance market, and that is a big change, because up until now, republicans have not been willing to consider changes to obamacare that do not involve repeal. Anthony . Mason nancy cordes at the capitol. Thank you, nancy. Over at the white house, the president threatened to let obamacare fall apart and put the blame on the democrats. Heres chip reid. I would say im disappointed in what took place. Reporter President Trump interrupted a lunch with afghan war veterans to vent his frustration over the failed republican healthcare bill. Im sitting in the oval office right next door, pen in hand, waiting to sign something. Reporter he pointed the finger of blame primarily at democrats. But thats a difficult argument to make when republicans control the white house and both houses of congress, and after he promised again and again that he would get it done. We get rid of obamacare, and we have a great life altogether. Youre going to have such great healthcare at a tiny fraction of the cost. And its going to be so easy. Were going to get this passed through the senate. I feel so confident. Reporter but today he appeared to have given up hope of passing anything. And i think were probably in that position where well just let obamacare fail. Im not going to own it. I can tell you the republicans are not going to own it. Reporter the problem with that is that millions of people, including many trump supporters, depend on the law for their healthcare. Senate democratic leader Chuck Schumer accused the president of trying to sabotage the law. He is actively, actively trying to undermine the Healthcare System in this country using millions of americans as political pawns in a cynical game. Reporter the president said today that the solution is to get more republicans elected to congress, but even if he can accomplish that, that new congress wouldnt be in place until the year 2019. Anthony . Mason chip reid at the white house, thanks. It turns out this meeting between President Trump and russian president Vladimir Putin at the g20 summit in hamburg earlier this month was not the only one.

The lawyer, scott balber, said kaveladze doesnt remember saying a single word, left scratching his head, and wondering, why am i here . Balber says investigators for special Counsel Robert Mueller have asked to talk to kaveladze. Mueller is examining whether the Trump Campaign conspired with the russian government. There is nothing there. Reporter last week the president s son said he agreed to the meeting because he was led to believe the kremlin had negative information about hillary clinton. Instead he has said the russians really wanted to talk about reversing sanctions imposed by the obama administration. The meeting took place at the behest of the agalorov family. Aras agalorov is a russian billionaire oligarch with close ties to russian president Vladimir Putin. Kaveladze was the agalorovs man in the trump tower meeting. In 2013 on the eve of the miss u. S. A. Pageant, he attended this dinner in las vegas with the agalorovs as they dined with mr. Trump. Kaveladzes name has surfaced before. In 2000, a government report said a businessman later identified as kaveladze had set up hundreds of accounts for russian brokers in two u. S. Banks. The report said the accounts were used to possibly launder over 1 billion from russian and Eastern European companies. Kaveladze was not charged in that case. His lawyer said at the time that he did nothing illegal, and he accused the g. A. O. Of a witch hunt. Anthony . Mason jeff pegues. Thank you, jeff.

At the vatican today, two civilians went on trial for allegedly violating at least one of the ten commandments, the one about stealing. Heres seth doane. Reporter the trial has the hallmarks of a tv crime drama. Two former administrators of the vaticans bambino gesu hospital are accused of embezzling nearly 500,000 in hospital funds to pay for the renovations of a sprawling 3,200 square foot apartment belonging to Cardinal Tarcisio bertone. Giuseppe profiti, the former hospital president , had defended the scheme, saying the money was an investment because the cardinals apartment would be used for hospital fundraisers. Bertone, the vaticans number two under pope benedict, was not charged and insists he knew nothing about the diverted funds. A scandal like this really plays to the stereotype of out oftouch arrogant cardinals growing fat on the wealth of the church. Reporter candida moss, a professor of theology at the university of notre dame, says no less than the credibility of pope francis is at stake. If we dont see results in this trial, if we dont see a prosecution, people will wonder if francis is really serious about financial reforms.

We will look at it and see whether it violates the letter of the deal and we will act accordingly.

At stake is the 2015 deal to freeze Irans Nuclear program that President Trump has repeatedly criticized as rewarding a u. S. Enemy. Its one of the worst deals ive ever witnessed. Reporter President Trump wants to scrap the deal or renegotiate. President trump said its a bad deal for americans and that there are flaws in it. It isnt. It isnt. Well, no deal is completely acceptable to everybody. Reporter youre saying iran is not willing to negotiate . This is a multilateral deal approved by the security council. Its not a bilateral deal to be withdrawn from or to be renegotiated. Reporter the white house accuses iran of supporting terrorists in syria and iraq, but zarif disputed that and placed blame on u. S. Allies like saudi arabia. These are the countries that are producing terrorists for you, and the United States is going after iran. I dont know why. Reporter another irritant, the travel ban on six majority muslim countries, including iran. What the United States has done against the iranian people over the past several months has been really repugnant. Reporter you think its up to President Trump to show some goodwill . I certainly think it is up to the u. S. Government to stop sending all these hostile signals. Reporter there are also at least three americans detained in iran, which zarif acknowledged isnt helping.
