Today Republican Greg Gianforte lost the endorsements of the leading newspapers in montana. Barry petersen is there.

Im sick and tired of you guys the last guy that came in here you did the same thing. Get the hell out of here. You just body slammed me and broke my glasses. Reporter a Campaign Spokesman said it was the reporter who grabbed gianfortes wrist calling it in a statement aggressive behavior from a liberal journalist. But alicia acuna, a reporter from the usually conservative fox news, was an eyewitness.

The senate probe began after a series of reports on the cbs evening news questioned how much of the donations were actually going to wounded vets. Chip reid has this. Reporter last year we met erick millette, one of dozens of former employees who shared with cbs news concerns about the charitys spending and programs for veterans. Theyre using our injuries, our darkest days, our hardships, to make money. So you can have these big parties . Reporter senator Chuck Grassley led an inquiry into the allegations. You want to make sure that people that contribute money, that its used for what it was meant to be used for. Reporter the charity had said it spent 80 cents of each donor dollar on programs for veterans, but grassley says that included donated media, advertisements and educational fundraising solicitations to reach that number. And grassleys nearly 500page report to the Senate Judiciary and finance committees found Wounded Warrior project was spending only about 68 of donor dollars on programs for veterans. It also found the charity lacked sufficient policies and procedures to manage the organization, misled donors about more than 65 million placed in a longterm trust that had not yet been spent on veterans, and spent excessive amounts of money on travel, as well as on fundraising and staff events. Ceo Steven Nardizzi was fired last year, along with nearly the entire executive suite of the charity. I think its going to help in the long run to deliver exactly what the program ought to do for veterans. Reporter in a statement Wounded Warrior project said it follows accounting rules and irs requirements and has made significant changes to ensure that we are focused on running the most efficient, Effective Organization possible. Scott, it also says it updated its travel and expense policies and adjusted its programs and services to focus on Mental Health and longterm support. Chip reid, thanks. Well, President Trump said during the campaign that nato is obsolete because it doesnt fight terrorism. But the truth is the alliance has been in afghanistan for 16 years. 25 nato countries have forces there now, alongside more than 8,000 u. S. Troops. Elizabeth palmer is among the most experienced war correspondents today, and she brings us up to date on americas longest war. Reporter just last month [ gunfire ]. U. S. Marines fought a pitched battle in southern afghanistan against taliban fighters whove been launching one bold attack after another. The taliban now control roughly 1 3 of afghanistan. More than at any time since 2001, when the war began. Earlier this year americas Top Commander in afghanistan, john nicholson, told the Senate Armed Forces committee the war was stalled. Are we winning or losing . Mr. Chairman, i believe were in a stalemate. Reporter 16 years in, the afghan war is costing america more than 3 billion a month. Back in 2014 the u. S. Military was on its way out, handing Afghanistan Security over to the afghans. U. S. Troop strength, which had peaked at 98,000 in 2010, plummeted to 8,400. But now the pentagon wants to reverse that. Its asked to add 3,000 to 5,000 more personnel and for authorization to send u. S. Forces closer to the front lines, to back up Afghan Soldiers who are often overwhelmed by the taliban and dying in their thousands. Here in brussels the u. S. Has been trying to talk its nato allies into adding thousands more troops in afghanistan as well, but so far the reception has been cool. And as for the decision to beef up u. S. Forces, its been postponed, scott, until the president returns to washington. Liz palmer with us in brussels tonight. Liz, thank you. Were back from brussels in just a moment.

We hope the results dont keep you up. Heres dr. Tra narula reporter scott, this study looked at the effects of sleep duration in people with metabolic syndrome, which is a group of conditions that puts people at risk for Heart Disease and stroke. They include high blood pressure, high blood sugar, excess body fat around the waist, and abnormal cholesterol levels. Its estimated 35 to 40 of americans have metabolic syndrome. In a sleep Lab Researchers monitored the sleep of more than 1300 people and found that those with metabolic syndrome who got less than six hours sleep were twice as likely to die of Heart Disease or stroke compared to those who slept more than six hours. Although this study shows an association and not a cause and effect, you can never stress enough how important sleep is. And the recommendation for everyone is seven to eight hours a night. And scott, if you have metabolic syndrome and symptoms of sleep apnea or insomnia, researchers suggest that a visit to a sleep specialist and a sleep study may be beneficial. Thanks, doctor.
