Reporter on the heels of yet another mass shooting, clinton called for expanded background checks, either through legislation or executive action. Asked at an earlier event about a possible biden run, clinton didnt seem concerned. This is a decision for the Vice President to make, and he needs whatever time and space he wants to be able to make that decision. Reporter sources tell cbs news that biden is likely to make a decision within the next week and is leaning toward running.

Julianna goldman reporting tonight. Julianna, thanks. Syrias civil war took another ominous turn when russian warplanes strayed into turkish air space on saturday. Russian jets began bombing syria last week to prop up the assad dictatorship while the u. S. Is targeting the terrorist army known as isis. Now two of the Worlds Largest air forces are fighting on different sides, and keeping them separated is the job of u. S. Commanders in the persian gulf. David martin has a rare look. Scott, this is the nerve center for the air campaign against isis. And through this window is the operations floor where all the missions are being tracked, including the ones over syria, where russian aircraft are also operating. You can see it on the screen. The yellow aircraft are russian, the green american. U. S. Pilots flying f16s out of turkey first picked up the russian planes on radar. The russians closed to within 20 miles, at which point the american pilots could visually identify them on their targeting cameras. Lieutenant general charles brown, commander of the air campaign, says the russians have come even closer than that to his unmanned drones. The closest has been, you know, within a handful of miles into some of our remotely piloted aircraft. But for our manned aircraft, not closer than about 20 miles is about the closest weve seen. Reporter brown says he intends to just work around the russians. Could they just crowd you out of syria . No. I dont think so. Were up a lot more often than they are. And so when they if we do have to move around for safe separation, its for a small period of time compared to the hours and hours that were airborne over iraq and syria. Reporter despite the russians general brown says he intends to increase strikes against isis sanctuaries in syria. Many of those missions will be flown by the crews of these b1 bombers, who now, scott, must also avoid runins with the russians. David martin reporting from qatar. David, thanks. That base also handles the air war in afghanistan, where over the weekend a u. S. Air strike destroyed a hospital, killing 22 civilians. The top u. S. General in afghanistan said today those responsible will be accountable. And Mark Phillips is following this. Reporter two days after the u. S. Air strike that destroyed this hospital in afghanistan the pentagon has now changed its story on how and why the attack happened. It was not, as was first said, called in by u. S. Forces under threat while working with Afghan Government troops trying to retake kunduz from the taliban. The air strike was called in, u. S. General John Campbell said, by the afghans themselves. Afghan forces advised that they were taking fire from enemy positions and asked for air support from u. S. Forces. An air strike was then called to eliminate the taliban threat and several civilians were accidentally struck. Reporter by several he means 22. 10 patients and 12 staff members. Killed by the devastating firepower of an ac130 gunship like this one. The attack went on for an hour. The hospital is run by the International MedicalCharity Doctors without borders, which bravely operates in many of the worlds war zones. And it insists it had specifically informed both u. S. And afghan authorities of the hospitals location. As for the kabul governments claim that the taliban were firing from around the hospital compound, the groups executive director, vickie hawkins, insists that was not the case. The comments coming from the Afghan Government are absolutely outrageous. They are to an extent justifying the destruction of a fully functioning hospital. Reporter the pentagon, nato, and the afghans themselves are now conducting investigations. Doctors without borders says the only credible inquiry must be international and independent. Beyond the tragedy, the air strike raises questions about how u. S. Air power in afghanistan is controlled, about the rules of engagement that are used and, scott, about whether designated like hospitals can become free fire zones. Mark phillips in the london newsroom tonight. For generations taught to drive with their hands at 10 00 and 2 00. The times are about to change. Airline workers attack their bosses.

With these Mass Shootings every couple of months, were listening to a variety of ideas to end the bloodshed in a series that were calling voices against violence. Tonight, a man who lost two of his uncles to gun violence, a president and a senator. Im Patrick Kennedy. Im the author of the Mental Health parity and addiction equity act signed into law in 2008. One consistency in all the recent tragedies is that the perpetrator had untreated Mental Illness. The most basic thing we can do is wrap around Services Upon the first inside dennis of someones psychosis, usually in their late teen years, early 20s. We know when to expect these, when they happen. We ought to wrap our arms around the people who are suffering from these illnesses and treat them early as opposed to ignoring them until they become pathological stage 4 illnesses. And thats what leads to these ultimate tragedies. If you do that, you change the permanent trajectory of the illness, thereby curbing the ultimate tragedies that have taken place in almost every single one of the recent shootings. Former congressman Patrick Kennedy. And well hear more ideas on gun violence in the days ahead. Well be right back. Two air france executives ran into some turbulence today. Union workers stormed the headquarters when the company said it was cutting nearly 3,000 jobs. The workers overpowered security and grabbed the executives and ripped the suits off their backs.

I can just do it just naturally. And now im talking to you and the car knows, okay, whatever im going to do now doesnt affect me. It also suggests, for example, coffee stopovers.

And thats the cbs overnight news for this tuesday. For some of you the news continues. For others check back with us just 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 overnight news. Im elaine quijano. Former congressman Patrick Kennedy is raising eyebrows with his tellall memoir a common struggle. The book details the kennedy familys battles with alcoholism, depression, and Mental Illness. Patrick kennedy opened up for leslie stahl o 60 minutes. Its a conspiracy of silence, not only for the person whos suffering but for everyone else whos forced to interact with that person. Thats why they call this a family disease. And youre trying to take the stigma away. Well, im trying to figure out how do we move this away from shame and stigma into a honest to god political movement. This isnt something esoteric about trying to take care of that alcoholic dont tell me those people spend money. Its about taking care of all of us because these are americans. Theyre dying every day and theyre our brothers and sisters. Reporter he says theres a pathology of silence about Mental Illness and addiction within families, especially his. In his book he breaks what he calls the kennedy code of silence. I dont tell in this book about my familys stories as some way to talk about their story. This is my story. These experiences are embedded in me. Theyre who i am. You write, im going to quote you from the book, my father went on in silent desperation for much of his life, selfmedicating and unwittingly passing his unprocessed trauma onto my sister, brother, and me. Thats right. Selfmedicating. Yeah. So that was the alcohol . Yeah, that was the alcohol. Do you think he was an alcoholic . You know, i think he definitely had a problem with acknowledge. I still right now, leslie, have trouble talking about this. This is like breaking the family code here. I am now outside the family line. Reporter outside the line talking about his dad but also about the silence surrounding his mother joans alcoholism th he says he inherited. What was it like growing up with your mother . It was so tense. My mother clearly would be inebriated and under the influence. She would walk around in the middle of the day, you know, in a terry cloth bathrobe. And the amazing thing is here you have all of these leading policy makers in the country in and out of the house, coming into the house, watching this, and no one saying a world. The shame just becomes you felt the shame. Oh, my god. I felt like oh, my god, theyre going to see. Mom, quick, lets get back into your room. Dont let any you know. I just understood this was not something you that want anyone to see. You write as a kennedy, and its a unique position that youre in. I kept thinking, you know, probably most families would have acted the way your family did. Oh. I know so many of them who cant talk about their own families illnesses. You get infected by the pathology of silence. And that is sickening to your soul. He writes that while his mother was crippled by her drinking his father was reeling. President kennedy died at 1 00 p. M. Central standard time. Teddy was devastated by the assassinations of his two brothers. When my uncle bobby was killed, it was like absolutely the floor dropped out for my father. Absolutely the floor. Because they got to be buddies in the United States senate. Those were the glory days for my dad. You ever ask anyone, my dad was the happiest he ever was when he had his brother. Then his brother was killed. Boom. Over. Show over. Those of us who loved him and who take him to his rest today pray that what he was to us and what he wished for others will someday come to pass for all the world. My dad never got to grieve. He had to be there for the country. He had to be there for my family. He had to be there for my uncle bobbys 11 children and john and caroline. Tell me whats welling up in you. You didnt know bobby. You were 1 years old. Yeah. But i knew the pain that came from his having been killed because i saw my father kind of live in silent desperation. For most of his life. Are you weeping for him . Oh, of course i do. I absolutely grieve for him. To this minute. Yes. Reporter as people across the country went for bobby, the second kennedy brother assassinated in five years, patrick writes that the family itself dealt with bobbys death the only way they knew how. If you think we couldnt talk about my mom, we couldnt talk about my uncle bobby. And the fact that his murder was still so present, you know, in all of our lives because it was unprocessed. You actually say that because nobody talked about these things in the family you were all kind of like zombies. You use that word. Zombies. Well, we were living in a limbo land where all of this chaos, this Emotional Turmoil was happening and we were expected just to live through it. This is the first time a kennedy has been this open about the family secrets. These particular secrets. Are you worried about how the familys going to react . I know how some of them are going to react because ive already theyve seen your book . Yeah, ive shown them the book. Theyre not pleased. No. Theyre angry. Theyre angry. Reporter chappaquiddick was Something Else they couldnt talk about. A year after bobbys assassination teddy drove a car off a wooden bridge, drowning his young passenger, mary joe kopekny. He abandoned the scene and didnt tell authorities till the next morning. This is where you had the conversation with your dad about chappaquiddick. This is where i had i guess could you call it a conversation. Reporter on the tenth anniversary of the tragedy teddy brought patrick, then 12, to this beach in hyannisport specifically to talk about chappaquiddick but then didnt. I learned more about this by, you know, looking in the books and newspapers and articles and on tv. Do you think chappaquiddick had an impact on you . I couldnt even talk about it. I was hostage to the family code that no, dont say anything about it. Anything you say, its disloyal, its against the family code, and it doesnt matter whether its in a private therapy session. That psychiatrist could go out and tell somebody. Reporter the way patrick dealt with it was to drink. He was heavily into alcohol by the age of 13. And nobody in the family either knew or well, it was ubiquitous. There was alcohol and there was parties all the time. There wasnt like oh, i stood out. Its the same difference. These are multisymptom. Well so are these. This one is max strength and fights mucus. That one doesnt. Uh. Think fast you dropped something. Oh. Ill put it back on the shelf. New from mucinex fast max. The only cold and flu liquid gel thats maxstrength and fights mucus. Start the relief. Ditch the misery. Lets end this. Bills got a very tough 13lie here.
