KPIX CBS Overnight News September 23, 2015

Has driven millions of people from their homes. Including more than 2 million who fled across the border to turkey. The poverty has compelled many Refugee Families to send their children to work, turning their sons and daughters into bread winners. One of them is hussein omar, who fled syria last year after his neighborhood was shelled. At 10 years old, he told us he works a 12hour day, sometimes, six days a week, selling vegetables. Do you know how to read and write . Translator no, he told us. He only had one year of school before the war began. Reporter would you look to learn to read and write . Yes. Reporter but as long as syrias civil war raises the chances of hussein ever getting an education are slim. We filmed hussein with our hidden camera at work in the market. His wages of 25 a week help buy bread for this family of nine. A little boy, toiling long hours, for low pay. And a bleak future. Like so many other boys and girls still victims of a war they came here to escape. Many of the syrians now making their way to europe, first sought refuge here in turkey. In some cases, staying for several years. But scott, with little hope of a better life for their children here, its no wonder that tens of thousands of Syrian Refugees have paid human smugglers to get them to europe.

Tonight the head of a drug company accused of gouging patients says he should be thanked. In one instance he raised the price of a drug used by aids patients from 13. 50 a pill to 750. Don dahler asked him why. Reporter 32yearold former Hedge Fund Manager Martin Shkreli thought daraprim was underpriced. Used to treat a disease for those with cancer and hiv patients. Last year fewer than 9,000 presipttipr prescriptions were written. Shkrelis company, Turing Pharmaceuticals bought the company and jacked the price up 5,000 . There was a Company Selling an aston martin at the price of a bicycle. We buy that company. We charge toyota prices. I dont think that should be a crime. Reporter its not. The fda has no authority over drug prices. In february, valeant raised prices for two heart drugs, isuprel and nitropress, 212 and 525 . Two years ago, Horizon Pharma raised the price of vimoco, 597 . Since 2008 nongeneric prices have soared 127 . Right now it is a free market and up to each company to decide which price is proper. Reporter shkreli says his company will use profits from daraprim to develop other medicines. There is no doubt i am a capitalist, trying to create a big, successful, profitable drug company. Reporter you see how greedy this moves look . I can see how it looks greedy, but there are altruistic properties tight. In what way . With profits we can spend the upside on patients who need a new drug in my opinion. Reporter both democratic contenders are proposing federal rules regulating how prescription drugs are priced and marketed. Bowing to all the outrage, shkreli made a statement he would in fact be open to lowering the drug price. Don dahler with the story and interview. Don, thanks very much. How do american catholics feel about their pope . We ask them when we come back. There are 80 million catholics in america. And francis has won most over.

Reporter when family counselor victoria fleming attends mass sunday in a chicago suburb she is excited about her faith and especially her pope. She is actually living the sort of faithful and humble life that he is called to. Reporter she cheers each francis pronouncement from Climate Change to income inequality and prays for more. Reporter where is he leading the church to . I think he is actually leading us back. Leading us back to where jesus left off. Reporter fleming among 53 of american catholics who say the church is in touch with their needs and 79 who approve of its direction. Im quite content to have the direction be brought in line with the ministry of jesus. Reporter mary ann hackett, president of catholic citizens of illinois does not share flemings enthusiasm. Are you uncomfortable with this pope . Yes, its sort of look anxious not knowing exactly what he is going to do next. Reporter is he doing damage . Well, well see, wont we . Reporter hackett among 9 of american catholics who disapprove of the popes direction. What do you think of his pronouncements on Climate Change for example . I think he is wrong. Reporter hackett says the pope leaves the impression that unshakeable doctrine is up for discussion. Are you surprised that 63 of catholics say the condition of the church in the United States is excellent or good . Yes, i dont think they know what theyre talking about. I think the condition of the church in the United States is very iffy. Very iffy. Reporter among the strongest supporters of the pope are american hispanics. And scott, in heavily latino los angeles, the archbishop says that last year there were more infant baptisms than in new york, washington, philadelphia, and chicago combined. Dean reynolds reporting for us tonight. Thank you. Riding along in the popemobile. Next. Announcer this portion of the cbs news is sponsored by cialis. ,,,,,,, the pope began his u. S. Visit not in a fancy limo but a modest fiat. He is driven to humility. Bill plant has a look now at how popes travel. Reporter for centuries popes were carried on the shoulders of the faithful. Pope paul vi complained that the swaying motion made him seasick. It was piusxi who added motorized vehicles to the papal fleet. In 1930, mercedesbenz gave him a converted limousine. A Lincoln Continental used for the first papal visit to the u. S. In 1965. But after the assassination attempt on Pope John Paul ii in 1981, everything changed. A member of the swiss guard which protects the pope. The Immediate Reaction was to close. They put an Armored Vehicle glass around the popemobile and everything. Reporter Pope John Paul didnt care for the name popemobile. He thought it undignified. But soon wherever the pope went, you would find the popemobile. And popes have often chaffed at the security measure. Pope francis called it a glass sardine can. The security for the pope needs to optimize his security while not hindering his ministry. If you dont let the pope do his ministry he wont, hes not the pope anymore. Reporter so the Popemobile Francis will use on this trip is much like the one in ecuador earlier this year. Especially built jeep wrangler, open and unarmored. That might keep Security Officials up at night, but not the pope. He told an interviewer, its true that anything could happen. But he added, lets face it, at my age, i dont have much to lose. Bill plant, cbs news, washington. Thats the cbs overnight news for this wednesday. For some of you, the news continues. For others, check back with us a little later for the morning news. And cbs this morning. From the Broadcast Center in new york city, im scott pelley. This is the cbs overnight news. Welcome to the cbs overnight news. A look at the people and events shaping your world. Im don dahler. Tonight, pope francis in america. The pontiff arrived yesterday and has a busy day ahead of him. He will meet with president obama at the white house before taking part in a papal parade along national mall. Francis will have midday prayers with American Bishops at Saint Matthews cathedral. Finally a mass at National Basilica to elevate a spanish missionary to sainthood. Cbs news is following pope francis every step of the way. Here is some of our coverage. [ applause ] he is meeting the president. Take his first step in his life on to the soil of the United States. The crowd chanting francisco. The pope being introduced to the president s daughters. The president s motherinlaw. And the Vice President , of course. We should note that Vice President biden is the first catholic Vice President of the United States. We should mention by the way, we are not expecting any remarks here at joint base andrews either from the president or the pope. The pope has had a long couple days. Once he leaves andrews after greeting everyone he is going to be heading into washington and he will be resting for the rest of the day and the rest of the evening before the rest of his busy schedule. Allen pizzey has come off the plane behind the pope. Allen, what are you seeing . Reporter what i am seeing is what you are seeing. I am seeing something you are not. I covered a couple dozen arrivals of the pope in countries. This is completely different. There are more press and fewer people than generally show up. Some of the more restrictions ones there are less people. What is interesting, what you mention, no welcoming speech. Invariably when we get off the papal plane, there is a lectern, microphone, podium, covered area. The pope has to make a speech and head of state makes a speech. Interestingly when raul castro met with the pope when he arrived on saturday in havana, he made a very long speech. Much longer than the popes. In that speech he basically tried to equate the ideals of the revolution of the cuban revolution with the ideals of christianity. A the cubans are kind of cooperating with the church because they need the church for a number of reasons not least of them being that the church helps them put in changes that they can slide off under the guise of the church, knuckling under. Different than other receptions. A little more orderly than some i have seen. Chip reid on the receiving end of the pope. There at the residence where the pope will be staying tonight. Chip. Scott, i will reverse roles here. I have a question for you. You can see the children behind me. We saw the pope at joint base andrews. How he reacts to children there i think you are going to see more here. There are about 200 of them here. Scott, in rome, you saw in the vatican, vatican city, you saw what the pope is like with children. Tell us about that if you would. We had an opportunity to visit with the pope at vaticans invitation at the popes General Assembly which they have every wednesday, 20, 30, 40,000 people come to see the pope in the General Assembly. And you could tell, chip, he had a special affection for the children in the group. He would be driving through in the popemobile. We are told he has a way of banging on the popemobile to tell the driver to stop. He gets off the popemobile and greets children, greets the handicapped in particular. People that he sees in the crowd who he believes need a special blessing. And the pope has also pulls out all of the brides and grooms that have come for a blessing at the general audience. Raises them on the steps of st. Peters basilica. Really has a great time greeting all of the Young Catholic families. And posing for selfies. He is selfless in the age of the selfie. As he goes through all of those people. And as the father was saying, the pope is 78 years old. Greeting 40,000 people every wednesday at the vatican. Yet he goes through the entire process, hours, and seems to be invigorated by that. A remarkable man for a remarkable time. About 1,000 people were invited to come out to andrews today to greet the pope. You can hear them chanting out there. The pope waving at the grandstand. The sound of the honor guard as he approaches. As we mentioned this is francis first trip to the United States in his life. It his going to be interesting to see what he makes of us. We had an opportunity to speak with him at the vatican recently. And we asked him what, what is your goal for your trip to america . And he raised his hands up, and he said to meet the people. Just to meet them. And he is certainly going to have a great opportunity to do that over the next several days. That is the vatican, little over a week ago. We had an opportunity. He was keeping his cards close to the vest. We asked him if he would talk about dispossessed or immigration when he spoke to the joint meeting of congress. He smiled broadly, and lifted his hands again, and he said i will speak to whatever the holy spirit guides me to speak to. And so we are going to have to wait until that meeting to hear what is on the mind of francis. Here he is getting into, mind you, a very modest car. A small fiat, not a big limousine, not anything, any other head of state would be getting into. But this is something that he insists upon. Everywhere he goes. And at the vatican. He got rid of the vatican limousine. And, ride around in a blue ford focus. Because he believes that the pope should set the example of humility and living a modest life. [ cheers and applause ] so unusual in washington to see a head of state driving away in such a modest little car. The ring of the weve been changing things up with ky love. Oh yeah. Its a pleasure gel that magnifies both our sensations. It gives us chills in places weve never gotten chills before. Yeah, it makes us feel like. Dare to feel more with new ky love. Its from daddy. Sfx dads voice i love you baby girl. Duracell quantum lasts longer in 99 of devices so you can always be there. Why are you deleting these photos . Because my teeth are yellow. Why dont you use a whitening toothpaste . Im afraid its bad for my teeth. Try crest 3d white. Crest 3d White Diamond strong toothpaste and rinse. Gently whiten. And fortify weak spots. Use together for 2 times stronger enamel. Crest 3d white. Don henley gained fame and fortune for his work with the band the eagles. Well he has a solo album dropping this week the first in a decade. He sat down with our own Anthony Mason for sunday morning. Reporter here under the bald cypress trees of cattle lake in east texas, a young don henley caught his first fish. What did you catch . A bass. Just a small, not, not a real big one. It was exciting. Reporter when you describe this area to people how do you describe it . You cant. You have to bring them here. I just tell them it is a magical place. You have never seen anything like it. In the fast lane reporter after the past two years on tour with the eagles, and a lifetime on the road. Back in the fast lane everything all the time reporter the 68yearold musician is spending more time back in that magical place. Near his hometown of linden, texas. You were born and raised here . Yeah, i was actually born 40 miles from here. Thats only because they had a clinic. Take a picture reporter his new solo album called cass county in a nod to his native turf is his first in 15 years. The years went rushing by in the twinkling of an eye roll with the changes after seeing the eagles material, some of which we have been sing over 40 years now, i really need some other songs to sing. Even some of my solo stuff is three decades old now. I can tell you my love will still be strong so, i want new songs to sing. And i have things inside of me that i need to get out. When i stop dreaming reporter returning to his roots, he is joined by country stars like dolly parton and martina mcbride. You get burned when the shadow eats up that old flame reporter the kind of music he listened to growing up in linden with his father, an awe tee parts dealer and his mom a teacher. This was your first public appearance . This stage was my first public appearance. Mrs. Robertsons kindergarten music class. Reporter at lindens old American Legion hall, now a theater we stop to talk about henleys musical career which was launched in the high school band. But i didnt start out playing drums. I started out for some reason on the trombone. They needed more trombonists. Reporter how were you on the trombone . Mediocre at best. Reporter you still play trombone . No. Reporter he switched to drums when he formed a group with friends. In 1968, the band had a chance encounter with a young singer named kenny rogers. We were in a Clothing Store in dallas, texas, on mckinney avenue, electric rocking horse, buying bell bottom pants and neru jackets. Kenny rogers was there . A beautiful girl was working there. Rodgers agreed to produce the bands debut album. Where henley would meet glen frye, recording on the same label. Together, frye and henley would go off and join the band for linda ronstadt. Reporter but you didnt want to been that band. You both knew it . We loved linda. We loved what she was doing musically. But we wanted our own band. Especially glen. He really had a glaplan. He wanted to put a band together that had four guys in it that could all sing. Woke up to the Hotel California reporter the eagles, formed in 1971, would be the bestselling American Band of the decade. Were living it up at the Hotel California and their greatest hits album, the best selling record of all time. Sing your alibi thr recent retrospective tour was built around a revealing documentary, history of the eagles. When you saw it all out there what did you think . I thought we struck a pretty good balance between the triumphant and the tawdry. One of these nights reporter the film includes some lessthancharitable comments about henley by former record executive david geffen who signed the eagles but later split with themmen a nasty contract dispute. He is a malcontent. He has always been a malcontent. And thats ju
