police, was rocked last week by video of the shohoing of a black teenager by a white officer. release of that video after a year-long delay led to a series of protes. dean reynolds is in chicago. >> reporter: with murderous gang violence on the rise in chicago once again and with public confidence in the city's police collapsing, mayor rahm emanuel decided it was time for a change at the top of the force. >> public trust in the leadership of the department has been shaken and eroded. this morning, i formally asked for his resignation. >> reporter: this appeared to be the last straw for garry mccarthy's four and a half year tenure. dash c video showing a whi chicago cop shooting a black teenager 16 times. the death of laquan mcdonald occurred in october 2014, and the video finally released last week, undercut the police account that officer jason van

he opened fire.. van dyke has since been charged with first-degree murder. the street protes that followed anyway cost merehants 25% to 50% of black friday sales.s. while strategies mccarthy introduced have cut crime overall, murders are up 13% from innocents have been cacaht in gang crossfire, children have been executed in revenge attacks, and mccarthy was unable to reverse a history of abusive police work. a universisi of chicago study found in more than 99% of the thousands of misconduct complaints against officers this year, no disciplinary action was ever taken. >> he has become an issue rather than dealing with the issue. >> reporter: but some critics say emanuel himself has become an issue and have questioned his leadership. one reporter asked if he still had the trust of the public. >> i work at that every day, and i have a lot of work to do at

>> reporter: job one will be to superintendent. the mayor has just created a new accocotability task force e confidence in the police that are now sorely lacking. tonight. anks, dean. the united states is about to get more deeply involved in the war against isis in iraq and syria, with more special operations forces on the ground. david martin has the details from the pentagon. >> reporter: about 200 u.s. special operations forces will based in the northern iraqi city of irbil where they will launch raids against isis in iraq and syria. defense secretary carter revealed plans for what he called a targeting force. >> it's important capability because it takes advantage of what we're good at and it puts everybody on notice in syria, that you don't know at night who will be coming in the window.

commando raids against isis have been few and far between -- two in the past t ven months. both times the commandos were brought in to conduct the raid and sent home when it was completed. by basing them inside iraq, carter hopes to increase the frequency of raids. capturing isis leaders for interrogation and seizing the information stored on their cell phones and laptops. joint chiefs chairman general joseph dunford: >> our assessment is the operations this force will conduct will provide additional intelligence that will make our operations much more effective. >> reporter: this targeting force is in addition to the 50 special operators being sent to syria to work with local fighters advancing on the isis capital of raqqah. it will probably require president obama to raise the ceiling on the number of american troops permitted in iraq from the current 3,500.0. increased raids will also bring increased risk of american casualties.

combat since the war on isis began, was killed in a raid this past october. scott? >> david martin at the pentagon tonight. in paris today, president obama put in for a last push of climate agreement bebere going home.. negotiators have two weeks to hammer out a non-binding deal to cut carbon emissionshat are linked to climime change. about 150 countries are at the table. mark phillips visited one that takes all of this very seriously in tonight's climate diaries. >> reporter: a great national d expensive experiment is under way in norway, where a quarter of all new cars sold have e-plates for electric. leif halbeton admits he's one of the lab rats. this is the baby you're considering buying? >> yes. >> reporter: he's done the faith. with all the government incentives, he said it would be crazy not to. >> this car will be for free. >> reporter: it's hard to get a

>> that's true. >> reporter: by free, he means he can basically drive for noththg. by the time the governments waive the whopping 25% sales tax and the road registration fee, the sticker price for electric cars can be less than their gas or diesel equivalents. once on the road, other benefits kick in. no highway tolls, free ferry rides and free chargeups at the government's subsidized plug-in points where the power comes from clean hydrosources. the old criticism that these cars have limited range, about 0 miles per charge, , comes a nonissue when you can plug in almost everywhere. and for this commuter, there's anothehe e-car incentive, access to bus and taxi lanes. >> i can save up to an hour if it's really bad actually. >> reporter: there's traffic all over the roads, but you have your very own "anita" lane.

that's right. >> reporter: electric cars might work in norway. it's a small country with relatively short driving distances and with plenty y cash to throroat the problem. but what about bigger places with less cash to throw around? well, the norwegians say, they have learned one thing here -- build them and they will come. so many have come, norway's deputy environment minister lars linda says the government will start phasg out the subsidies. >> 45%, 5050 60%. when you have a really big market share, the benefits have to be fazed out. >> reporter: that's what you are anticipating? >> we have to get to 1 1%. our target is actually that. >> reporter: what the norwegians have done is change the image of electric cars. they've made them, well-- listen car shopper leif's s ughter. what do you think of this car? >> it's cool. >> reporter: it's cool?

2> that's it. sold. >> reporter: sold, like the country seems to be. almost sixty million americans are affected by mental illness. together we can help them with three simple words. my name is chris noth and i will listen. fromomaine to maui, thousasas of high school students across the country are getting in on the action by volunteering in their communities. chris young: action teams of higschool students are joining volunteers of america and major league baseball players to help train and inspire e next generation of volunteers. carlos pea: it's easy to start an action team at your school so you, too, can get in on the action.

if you dig your bones, protect them. all: cbs cares! oday, a senate report found that gilead scienceseswhich makes a cure for a fatal form of hepatitis, is more interested in profits than patients. the cure was invented under the leadership of the celebrated doctor in the department of veterans affairs. but at $1,000 a pill, even the va can't afford to save the lives of vets who need it. chip reid has s en looking into this. >> reporter: in 2013, vietnam veteran zion yisrael was told he had five years to live. he had stage four liver disease caused by hepatitis c. which has infected as many as 230,000 veterans. most contracted itn vietnam

battlefield blood transfusions and vaccinations. >> the longer it goes, the harder it is to treat. >> reporter: after decades of suffering, earlier thiyear yisrael was overjoyed to learn there was a cucu. >> i felt like my prayers were answered. >> i am ready to be cured. >> reporter: the drug, sofosbuvir, is sold as sovaldi and harvoni and claims to cure up to 99% of hepatitis c patients, but there's a catch. the retail price for a 12-week treatment is $84,000. the department of veterans affairs gets a 50% discount, but even with that, the va told yisrael they can't afford to give it to everyone who needs it, ininuding him. >> come back next year, and all the time i'm thinking about that, my condition is getting worse. >> reporter: dr. raymond

led the scientific team that discovered the drug. he has worked for the department of veterans affairs since 1983. he sayayhe's only a seven- eighths government employee and what he does with his remaining time is up to him. so you're only spending one- eighth of your time on your private company? >> well, even less than that. >> reporter: even less? >> yes. i'm very efficient. >> reporter: dr. schinazi made more than $400 million when he sold his company for $11 billion to pharmaceutical giant gilead in 2012. do you see how that looks to an average veteran? >> i'm sorry you're taking it rsonally. >> reporter: if you're surprised that a government scientist can make that kind of money, given federal laws surrounding conflicts of interest, so were we. s anybody ever questioned the arrangement you haha that allows you to become very wealthy while working seven-eighths of your

>> nobody has ever questioned that. i think i've done everhing, i've disclosed everything to the va. >> reporter: the va declined our request for an interview but approved the arrangement, and in a statement said federal employees are allowed to invest in private companies, provided all conflict of interest rules are followed. gilead, the company that now owns and sets the price on sovaldi and harvoni, told us that the cost is in line with the previous standards of care. but in this 2013 trade journal, dr. schinazi said it only costs about $1,400 to manufacture the full 12-week treatment. that's less than 2% of the retail price. why is it so much more expensive than what it costs to make it? >> that's a good question. i mean, i think the price will come down evevtually. >> reporter: zion yisrael wonders if the price will come down in time to save him, in the two years his doctor says he has left.

we're still alive and we come here, and because of $84,000, you kn, we can't get cureda medication produced by the country that we're protecting? >> reporter: dr. schinazi says the drug he helped create has helped save hundreds of thousands of lives around the rld, but, scott, the va concedes that funding for u.s. veterans is limited. so far they've treated about 35,000 vets, just 15% of the veterans infected with hepatitis c. >> chip reid with a revealing story in our washington newsroom. chip, thanks. patients who suffer from rare infection called toxoplasmosis got some help today y en express scripts offered to sell the treatment for $1 a pill. the drug is similar to daraprim, sold by turing pharmaceutical

after an uproar, turing's c.e.o. martin shkreli promised to low the price and then he appeared to backtrack. don dahler has more on this. >> reporter: when shkreli increased its price, they complained they were being unfairly vilified. >> there are a dozen companies just like ours that raise prices higher than ours and i don't see them getting the criticism i got. >> reporter: he's partially right. aftetevaliant pharmaceuticals ught the rights to a heart medication, it raised the price from $179 a dose to almost $1,500. activiviincreased the cost f fm $2,700 a bottle to over $1,800. >> you have your foot on the patient's throat. >> reporter: industry analyst richard evans: >> there is a moral obligation. u have to have the p pient's well-being at heart and you have to act accordingly. >> reporter: imprimis pharmaceuticals says they're doing just that. they're using the basic

eir own version of t t drug. the infamous founder and ceo mark baum. >> we decided to take action to make this new formulation available to this vulnerable population. >> reporter: you're selling it for $1. are you taking a loss on this? >> no. the chemicals that we use to make this formulation are quite inexpensive. we make a really nice profit on this, but we make what i feel is an ethical profit. >> reporter: after a global backlash, shkreli said he'd lower the price of daraprim, last week he did, but only for hospitals, not individuals. members of congress have called for an investigation into steep increases in drug prices, and, scott, imprimis says it's looking at selling cheaper versions of other expensive medication, as well. >> don dahler for us tonight. don, thank you. it's cool in the midwest where records are falling and so is the snow. and we will remember a much
