With scott pelley. Pelley good evening. This is our western edition. For more than 50 years, Television Made joan rivers one of the most familiar guests in americas living rooms. Rivers died today in a New York Hospital one week after she went into cardiac arrest at an outpatient clinic. The new York Health Department says that it is investigating the clinic in connection with her death. Joan rivers was 81. Her daughter melissa said and in that spirit, we will look at how joan rivers made so many of us laugh a little bit later in the broadcast. But first, there is breaking news in a story that we have long been investigating. There has been an arrest in one of the biggest pharmaceutical disasters ever. At least 751 people came down with meningitis and other infections, and 64 died after getting tainted steroid injections. Those injections were produced by a boston compounding pharmacy. That is a pharmacy that makes custom drugs. Today, a supervisor at that facility was arrested at Logan Airport as he was about to leave for hong kong. Jim axelrod now on what hes accused of doing. Reporter tonight, glenn chin, who was head pharmacist for the new england compounding center, stands charged with one count of mail fraud for labeling steroids as sterile and safe for human use when he knew they werent. F. D. A. Investigators say chin instructed pharmacy technicians to mislabel medication to indicate it was properly sterilized and tested and fraudulently complete cleaning logs in the labs. The affidavit states the n. E. C. C. Then shipped those tainted steroids to pain doctors in michigan, who unknowingly injected them into their patients. 217 got fungal infections, including meningitis, in one clinic alone. 15 of them died. Joe connolly worked for chin as a lab tech at n. E. C. C. In an interview with scott pelley for 60 minutes, he says he warned his boss about the contamination risks. Pelley when you went to your supervisor and told him that, he said what . Thats verbatim. He shrugged. That was his response for a lot of our questions or comments or concerns, was a shrug. Reporter one of the companys owners, barry cadden, also didnt appear worried about oversight from state inspectors when he spoke to his sales staff as n. E. C. C. Started ramping up production. We obtained this internal training video. They have no clue. They go around, theyre like, oh, barry, the place looks great. I got to go. A cup of coffee and they go out the door. Really, that is what it is like. Reporter after hundreds were sickened in 20 states, federal inspectors shut down the companys plant west of boston after finding standing water, mold, and fungus. The lab was located in the same building as a recycling company, another business owned by cadden and his family. Chins arrest marks the first criminal charges, but with the grand jury still considering evidence after a nearly twoyear investigation, probably not the last. Mike sullivan is a former United States attorney in boston. If i were kind of in that chain, that organizational chain, i would not be breathing a sigh of relief after reading that. Id be. Continue to be concerned about whether or not im going to be implicated if i was anywhere in that chain. Reporter glenn chins lawyer says his client was headed to hong kong with a roundtrip ticket to attend a family wedding, and that his arrest at Logan Airport this morning was ridiculous and a publicity stunt. Pelley we understand a grand jury is Still Deciding whether to file charges against others in the case. Jim, thanks very much. Today, a federal judge in new orleans ruled that b. P. Was grossly negligent in the worst Accidental Oil spill in history. 11 workers were killed when a b. P. Well blew out in 2010, spilling 176 million gallons of crude oil into the gulf of mexico. The judge put most of the blame on b. P. And said two other companies played smaller roles. The finding of gross negligence exposes b. P. To fines of up to 18 billion. Former Virginia GovernorBob Mcdonnell and his wife, maureen, were found guilty today of taking bribes from a businessman. The corruption trial was full of surprises, most notably when mcdonnell took the stand and tried to blame it all on his wife. Now, both face prison. Chip reid is following the case. Reporter leaving the federal courthouse in richmond today, Bob Mcdonnell told reporters, all i can say is my trust remains in the lord. He left in one car, his wife, maureen, in another. A short time earlier, the former governor sobbed loudly as the clerk read the verdict finding him and his wife guilty on almost all counts 11 counts of corruption for him, eight counts of corruption and one count of obstruction for her. They were convicted of accepting about 165,000 in gifts and low interest loans from businessman jo ams, including a 20,000 new york shopping spree for her, a 65,000 rolex for him, and luxurious vacations for both, including the use of a ferrari. In exchange, the prosecution successfully argued that the mcdonnells used their official positions as governor and first lady to promote williams diet supplement business. Mcdonnells attorney henry absill says he was shocked by the verdict and intends to appeal. Were very disappointed but were not deterred. This fight is a long way from over. M reporter on the stand for five days, mcdonnell argued he could not have conspired with his wife because their marriage was so broken, they barely spoke. He also blamed his wife for accepting many of the gifts, leaving him in the dark. The jury apparently rejected those arguments. It is a dramatic fall for mcdonnell, who ran for office as a family values conservative and was considered as a possible running mate for republican president ial candidate mitt romney. He was even mentioned as a future president ial candidate ngmself. Sentencing is scheduled for january 6 and, scott, if these convictions are not overturned on appeal, both mcdonnells could be looking at the possibility of decades in federal prison. Pelley chip reid in washington. Chip, thanks very much. Tonight in wales, president obama and other nato leaders discussed action against isis terrorists in syria and iraq. Today, american jets continued to pound the sunni muslim extremist group. There have been 127 u. S. Air strikes in iraq in just over three weeks. Isis says it has beheaded two american journalists in retaliation. Tomorrow, mr. Obama will press lle turkish Prime Minister to do more, and Holly Williams shows us why. Reporter as isis has grown, its used neighboring turkey, a key u. S. Ally, as its staging ground. For three years, weve watched as the turkish government has allowed fighters to stream across its borders, driven by its desire to topple syrias dictator. In 2012, we interviewed the man in the yellow tshirt. Mahmoud was a bulldozer salesman from atlanta, georgia, who returned to his homeland to join the battle against the syrian regime. They come in and out. The turkish they are, i mean, closing eyes, um, when we cross. Reporter islamic extremists also took advantage of the turkish turning a blind eye. In december, we filmed these men crossing illegally into the war zone in broad daylight. Many militants have been treated in turkish hospitals and set up safe houses in Turkish Border towns. And in this turkish government refugee camp two years ago, we met these syrian men who told us they regularly crossed back into syria to fight, and wanted to establish an islamic state. The turkish government says its never helped isis and considers it a terrorist group. But this member of turkeys opposite claims his government has allowed isis to flourish because it prefers the group to the syrian regime. He even accuses the turkish authorities of ignoring the Lucrative Oil business on turkeys border. That money could be stopped. The money they get from smuggling could be stopped if the turkish government and neighbor countries had decided that they shouldnt get a coin. Reporter a turkish Government Official told us that 6,000 people are now banned from turkey because they fear they could slip over the border to fight with isis. Scott, he also told us turkey has a 500milelong border with syria and its simply impossible to stop everyone who wants to join the cause of the islamic extremists. Pelley Holly Williams reporting from istanbul for us tonight. Thank you, holly. Today, the u. S. Department of justice launched a broad investigation into the police force of ferguson, missouri. A grand jury is already investigating last months shooting death of an unarmed black man by a white police officer, but justice correspondent bob orr tells us this new federal probe will go far beyond that. Reporter attorney general eric holder said, on his visit to ferguson, missouri, last month, he heard numerous stories of a largely white police force clashing with a majority African American population. People consistently expressed concerns stemming from specific alleged incidents, from general policing practices, and from the lack of diversity on the Ferguson Police force. Reporter holder said those accounts and a review of policing records helped persuade him a Justice Department civil rights investigation was necessary. Our investigation will assess the Police Departments use of force, including deadly force. It will analyze stops, searches, and arrests. Reporter ferguson was wracked by violence after the shooting death of michael brown. Police repeatedly clashed with protesters. Today, ferguson officials welcomed the Justice Department probe and said in a statement, our collaborative efforts are another step forward as we continue the process of earning back the trust of our residents and our neighbors. The civil Rights Action comes on top of an ongoing f. B. I. Investigation, specifically into the circumstances surrounding the shooting. Federal prosecutors are trying to determine if officer Darren Wilson violated browns rights in killing the unarmed teenager. For now, civil rights investigators are focused solely on the Police Department in ferguson, but federal Officials Say the probe could be expanded to other nearby police forces, scott, if evidence suggests more widespread problems. Pelley and a decision on whether to charge the officer is likely weeks away. Bob orr, thanks very much.

Twice this week, teenagers there went wild. First, there was an escape, and then a riot last night. Mark strassman is following this. Reporter the Woodland Hills facility was bedlam for five hours overnight. Juvenile offenders armed with sticks and poles busted out of their dorms. Six teens became a mob of two dozen.

Flowing lava from the kilauea volcano is now less than a mile from a community on the big island. Kilauea has been erupting non stop since 1983. A new vent opened recently, sending lava toward the homes. It could get there within a week. For now, no evacuations have been ordered. One of the biggest discoveries in history is coming up next. Oif for everyone. Biotene, for people who suffer from dry mouth. Pelley we got our first look today at one of the largest creatures that ever walked the earth, a dinosaur that weighed as much as a 737. The remains were discovered a decade ago in argentina and taken by scientists to philadelphia. Don dahler is there. Reporter so this starts the tail of Dreadnoughtus Schrani. With a 30foot long tail, Dreadnoughtus Schrani was king of the giants, seven times the size of a trex. Thats a toe. Reporter thats a toe. Yeah. Reporter why dreadnoughtus . When youre 65 tons, were not really going to have any enemies, and that made me start to think of the turn of the last century warships, the dreadnoughts, which were the first real steel battleships and essentially impervious to previous technology. And so i thought dreadnoughtus fears nothing. Reporter paleontologist ken lacovara discovered the 85foot long dinosaur in argentina when he spotted a part of a thigh bone. This was the discovery piece, and this bone was laying horizontally, just beneath the desert surface. By the end of the first day, after we had the ten bones, we knew there was a decent chance we had a new species. And after a year of total field work, we were on archaeological cloud nine, i guess you could say. Reporter it turned out to be the most intact large dinosaur ever found. In the case of dreadnoughtus, they got caught up in a river flood, and got caught in a soupy mix of sand and mud, like quicksand. Reporter and thats how you were able to find a relatively complete skeleton. Thats right. Reporter they spent nine years excavating the fossils, icking them in plaster and shipping them back to his lab at Drexel University in philadelphia. When you find something and you know its new, especially when you have a good idea its a new species, youre sitting out there in the desert and you realize, im the first person to ever see this, im the first person that knows this. Thats a very special experience for any scientist. Reporter he has to return the fossils to argentina by the end of this year. In order to continue studying them, the paleontologist digitally scanned every bone. You can do this in a virtual space and it just opens it up to the world. Reporter hidden from sight for 77 million years, Dreadnoughtus Schrani is now visible to all. Don dahler, cbs news, philadelphia.
