it makes me feel like we're both... when she enjoys it, we enjoy it even more. and i enjoy it. feel the difference with k-y ultragel. prescription drug abuse is fast becoming a plague in our nation. about 2 million americans are hooked on prescription painkillers. in 2012, 259 million prescriptions were written. that's one bottle for every american adult. so how can that be? jim axelrod and producer ashley velly found out in west virginia, a state that's attempting a drastic solution, allowing addicts to sue the doctors who got them hooked. >> reporter: so you would spend $1,000 a speak? >> right. >> reporter: 17 years ago, willis duncan's life changed forever, when a coal mining accident left him with a crushed
2:40 am
>> if i didn't have ten pain pills, i wouldn't go to work. bottom line. >> reporter: changed your life? >> changed everything. >> reporter: duncan developed a life-long addiction to painkillers when his doctor's only treatment was a never-ending supply of pills. >> the only time that you went in to see a doctor was to get your pills. >> reporter: hang on a second. you would go in to get looked at, but the examination isn't done by a doctor? >> no. >> reporter: duncan would wait for hours to be seen for just a few minutes at this clinic where 150 patients line up every day for pain med prescriptions. did you ever say to a doctor, this has gotten out of hand, and i need help? >> no. because you done got used to them and you didn't know how to function without them. >> reporter: this cash-only operation allowed doctors to clear as much as $100,000 a week. >> we're in mingo county, west virginia, executing a search warrant.
2:41 am
raided and shut down in 2010. >> there's the exam room. >> reporter: these are what past for exam rooms. >> main office. >> reporter: piles of trash and files, loose prescription pads, syringes. and starving birds stuck in roach-infested cages. hundreds of patient records were seized, along with thousands of updated and presigned prescriptions for addicted pain meds like vicodin, xanax. the doctor in charge went to jail for six months for negligence. >> do a drive-by and take a look at the place. >> reporter: dea agent gary newman is investigating dozens of doctors, pharmacies and distributors throughout the state. >> we are talking in a certain sense drug traffickers and they are doing nothing but writing and cranking out prescription after prescription after prescription. >> reporter: they're pushers. >> they truly are. >> reporter: west virginia has
2:42 am
deaths in the nation. each year, doctors write the equivalent of one painkiller prescription for every man, woman, and child in the state of 1.8 million. in the last year, the west virginia department of health inspected 19 pain clinics. 12 were told to shut down. >> you can actually be so stressed that you can't sleep at night. >> reporter: one is run by dr. michael kastenko. seen here lecturing patients. he's written more than 40,000 pain pill prescriptions over the last two years at his coal country clinic. he was among those ordered to stop operating as a pain clinic, but remains open. after weeks of trying to reach him, we drove out to coal country clinic, located at the end of this narrow two-mile logging road. instead of finding the doctor, we came face-to-face with a rottweiller. shutting down these clinics can

are licensed doctors, writing legal prescriptions. >> therein lies the problem. you have to be able to prove in court that their prescribing was for a nonmedical necessity or in such an aegregious amount that it was negligent. >> reporter: among the 30 west virginians now suing their doctors and pharmacies for enabling their addiction is willis duncan. >> they hurt a lot of people. i mean, it's just a bad deal all the way around. i have nothing for them. nothing for none of them. >> the state of west virginia has begun the process of shutting that clinic down. when the "overnight news" dry spray? that's fun. it's already dry! no wait time. this is great. it's very soft. can i keep it?

hi, evelyn. i know it's been a difficult time since your mom passed away. yeah. i miss her a lot, but i'm okay. wow. that was fast. this is the check i've been waiting for. mom had a guaranteed acceptance life insurance policy through the colonial penn program, and this will really help with the cost of her final expenses. is it affordable? it costs less than 35 cents a day-- that's pretty affordable, huh? that's less than the cost of a postage stamp. so, you said it was guaranteed acceptance? yes. it's for people ages 50 to 85. there's no medical exam or health questions. you can't be turned down because of your health. it fit right into mom's budget and gave her added peace of mind. you should give them a call man: are you between the ages of 50 and 85? for less than 35 cents a day, you can get guaranteed acceptance life insurance through the colonial penn program. you cannot be turned down because of your health. there are no health questions or medical exam. your rate will never go up
2:45 am
guaranteed! these days, the average cost of a funeral is over $7300, and social security pays a death benefit of just $255. don't leave a burden for your loved ones. call about the colonial penn program now. choose to move freely. move free ultra has triple-action support for your joints, cartilage and bones in one tiny pill. move free ultra. get your move on. and now try move free night. the first and only 2-in-1

in part two of his investigation, jim axelrod goes back to ground zero. west virginia. it's so bad there, the state is suing, accusing pharmacies and drug distributors of making millions, pushing narcotics to anyone who wants them. >> reporter: no state has had more trouble with prescription pain pills than west virginia. and no town in west virginia more trouble than kermit, population 400. this undercover video of
2:47 am
scores of people picking up prescriptions inside, and at the drive-through window. >> they fill more scripts for oxycodone than all but 21 pharmacies in america. >> reporter: in the country? >> in the country. >> reporter: jim cagle represents the state in the groundbreaking lawsuit against pill mills and wholesale drug distributors. >> what you have is some bad doctors and pharmacies who are willing to turn a blind eye because of the money that's involved. >> reporter: more than 3 million doses of hydrocodone was ordered by a kermit pharmacist, james woolly, in one year. he paid drug distributors hundreds of thousands of dollars, while netting more than $6 million in profit. in 2012, he lost his license and served six months in prison for illegally dispensing drugs. but cagle told us the problem persists. this pharmacy, tug valley, is
2:48 am
filling prescriptions. records show tug valley was filling more than 150 pain prescriptions a day from one clinic alone. we decided to ask the owner about the charges. so your name is in a lawsuit, alleging substandard care. you have nothing to say to me directly? >> no. >> reporter: at his lawyer's direction, he wouldn't respond. >> we would think that an alarm bell would go off. >> reporter: west virginia secretary of health karen bowling says until now, the drug distributors have escaped scrutiny. >> if you are a distributor, providing medication, you know, to pharmacies, that someone would say, you know, wow, this is a lot. what do we need to do about it? >> reporter: that's the premise behind the unprecedented lawsuit. under west virginia's law, distributors are legally bound to report suspicious orders from
2:49 am
>> if that distributor has good reason to believe that the prescriptions that are being filled are not for legitimate medical purposes, they are not to make that delivery. >> reporter: they have an obligation? >> they have a duty, yes. >> reporter: amerisourcebergen is the third largest drug one of 11 defendants in the state's case. over a five-year period, they filled orders for over 118 million for hydrocodone and oxycodone pills, enough to supply every west virginian 13 pain pills every year. that's scary math. >> yes, it is. it is actually the product of what i would refer to as a business plan. a business plan by people that are not honorable people. >> reporter: we reached out to lawyers for amerisourcebergen. they told us they couldn't comment. this trial is set to begin in october. jim axelrod, cbs news, new york.
2:50 am
now, the music industry will honor its brightest stars at the grammys. anthony mason sat down with one of the fresh faces up for best new artist award, james bay. >> reporter: only a few years ago, 25-year-old james bay was playing london pubs, just trying to get noticed. but 2015 changed all that. you had a pretty amazing year. >> 2015 was pretty strong. i had a good time, yeah. it was great. >> reporter: his debut album, which features his hit song "hold back the river," went to number one in britain. he performed his other hit single "let it go" with ed sheeren. and he impressed the rolling stone's ronnie wood.
2:51 am
that to me. >> reporter: who gave him britain's gq award for breakthrough artist, then joined him on stage at a london concert. >> these surreal things. it's hard to talk about them as if they happened but they did. >> reporter: at the end of the year, he heard he got a grammy nomination. >> we were in the back of the car, losing our minds. they phoned up and they said, did you see about the other two? and we were like, what, there's two more? 2015 was great. >> reporter: tough to top it. >> yeah, but we're going to try. >> reporter: now he's the latest british musical export trying to make it in america. >> it's a big prize. that's exciting. i can't get away from that, and i don't know if it ever makes me sound naive or anything. at the end of the day, i'm willing to take it on. >> reporter: it's a little like
2:52 am
>> it really is. >> reporter: bay, who we met at the gibson show room in new york -- >> i'm always drawn to the weird color. >> reporter: this is a beautiful color. he picked up his first guitar when he was 11. in hitchen, a town about an hour north of london, he taught himself to play and joined a local band. >> seeing your name up here was a big deal. this is the holy grail of gigs in hitchen. >> reporter: but bay had greater ambitions. >> giving myself a shot at something more than the buzz we got from playing in a pub to a lot of people. >> reporter: he started performing solo. >> when i first got in front of a mike on stage and it was just me, i started to, you know, find out about what i could do. >> reporter: did you like being up there? >> yeah.
2:53 am
>> reporter: then a fan posted a video to youtube. >> it had like 20 plays on youtube, 22 maybe. but we got the call from a record label in new york who found it somehow. and really liked it. >> reporter: what were you thinking at that point? >> i was thinking, new york? really? >> reporter: signed by republic records, suddenly james bay was on his way. did you have a plan b? >> no. well, drawing. not the best plan b, i don't think. i still love it. >> reporter: he still draws on the road. band mates, rock heroes, selfies, featuring his now signature headgear. where did the hat come from? everybody asks. >> where did the hat come from? it was a very sort of kind of teenage fashion move.

2:55 am
with other stuff a new strain of dog flu is causing concern across the country. so far, at least 2,000 dogs have been affected in 25 states. adriana diaz is in chicago, site of the first outbreak of that virus. >> reporter: here in chicago, the flu spread so quickly last year, that some shelters had to close their doors to prevent it from spreading. here they've treated more than 300 sick dogs and housed some temporarily while they recover. all of these dogs are healthy, but vets are paying close attention to make sure none develop symptoms. ashley lease walks dogs in the seattle area. she's paying extra close
2:56 am
friends. after warnings about the new strain of dog flu. >> they can get sick just like us. i know how much i hate being sick. >> reporter: county health officials say up to 90 dogs in this kennel may have been exposed to the virus. two have tested positive for the flu, but further tests are needed to confirm it's the new strain. >> none of the dogs have immunity to fight it off, so you see large numbers of dogs getting ill when the virus starts to circulate. when dogs are going to dog daycares or dog parks or boarding overnight in fennel facilities, it can spread rapidly. >> reporter: cases showed up last march in chicago and spread quickly. around 2,000 dogs in 24 states have been infected. a vaccine was made available in november. vets say the disease is rarely fatal, but owners should see a vet right away if their dog shows symptoms.
2:57 am
miss a meal, you see coughing, just being tired, moping around, it could be a sign of a fever. if you see that, give your local veterinarian a call, schedule an appointment, because they'll need to get on some special medications for it. >> reporter: pet owners in the seattle area are concerned. the health department says their facebook posts outlining the symptoms has been viewed 189,000 times since tuesday. local vets are now stocking up on the vaccine. while the virus is no laughing matter, this viral video features a chicago pup named herbert who is putting on a the flu. >> dogs are household members and often times they're like kids in the family and people want to take care of their pets and keep them safe. >> reporter: humans can't contract the virus, but they can spread it to healthy dogs after close contact with a sick dog. by the way, all of these puppies are available for adoption. so guys, just let me know which one you like.
2:58 am
for this friday. this is the "cbs overnight news." >> >> gop presidential hopefuls gathered in south carolina last night for one of their final debates before next month's iowa caucuses. it was a smaller cast on the main stage, just seven candidates. and at the center of it all was the front runner, donald trump. here's some of what they had to say. >> you know, back in september, my friend donald said he had had his lawyers look at this from every which way, and there was no issue there. there was nothing to this birther issue.
2:59 am
constitution has. changed. [ laughter ] but the poll numbers have. [ applause ] and i recognize -- i recognize that donald is displayed that his poll numbers are falling in iowa. but the facts and the law here are quite clear, under long standing u.s. law, the child of a u.s. citizen born abroad is a natural born citizen. if a soldier has a child abroad, that child is a natural born citizen. that's why john mccain, even though he was born in panama, was eligible to run for president that's why george romney was eligible to run for president even though he was born in mexico. at the end of the day, it's straightforward. but i would note that the birther theories that donald has
3:00 am
more extreme ones insist you must not only be born on u.s. soil, but have two parents born on u.s. soil, under that theory, i would be disqualified, marco rubio would be disqualified, and interestingly enough, donald j. trump would be disqualified. [ applause ] because donald's mother was born in scotland. she was naturalized. now, donald -- >> but i was born here. >> on the issue of citizenship, donald, i'm not going to use your mother's birth against you. >> because it wouldn't work. >> you're an american, as is everybody else on this stage, and i would suggest we focus on who's best prepared to be commander in chief, because that's the most important question facing the country. [ applause ]
3:01 am
beats the rest of the field, he beats the rest of the field -- see, they don't like that. [ crowd booing ] no, they don't like that he beats the rest of the field, because they want me. [ laughter ] but if for some reason he beats the rest of the field, i already know the democrats are going to be bringing a suit. you have a big lawsuit over your head while you're running. and if you become the nominee, who the hell know it is you can even serve in office. so you should go out, get a declaratory judgment, let the courts decide. >> why now? why are you raise thing issue now sp >> because now he's doing a little bit better. i no, i didn't care before, no, it's true. hey, look, he never had a chance. now he's doing better. he's got probably a 4 or 5% chance.
3:02 am
>> the fact is, there's a big overhang. there's a big question mark on your head. >> listen, i've spent my entire life defending the constitution before the u.s. supreme court and i'll tell you, i'm not going to be taking legal advice from donald trump. >> you don't have to. >> now on the democratic side, it doesn't get much tighter than this. the latest poll in iowa shows hillary clinton just two points ahead of bernie sanders. here's nancy cordes. >> and i have felt for the last several weeks that we had the wind at our back. >> reporter: sanders' feelings were confirmed today, and the latest poll brought back vivid memories of 2008, when clinton's commanding lead in iowa slipped away at the end. >> i congratulate senator obama. >> reporter: then and now, her powerful campaign, and its war chest, were supposed to overpower insurgent opponents. but it's sanders who is holding
3:03 am
sticks to town halls. >> i will fight for you. i will worfor you. >> reporter: sanders is also airing more tv ads, reaching voters like tim pool of topeka, iowa. >> i totally agree with senator sanders. you can't have 2% of the people of this country making 400 times more than everybody else. >> reporter: today, sanders surprised clinton with this ad that seemed to be aimed at her. >> there are two democratic visions for regulating wall street. one says it's okay to take millions from big banks and then tell them what to do. >> reporter: the clinton campaign accused him of violating this longtime promise: >> you're looking at somebody who has never run a negative tv ad in his life and never will. >> reporter: clinton campaign manager robby mook convened a conference call with reporters to drive the point home.
3:04 am
reminiscent of 2008, when clinton routinely tried to convince voters that senator barack obama was just another politician, not a visionary. scott, she can take heart in the fact that she's still leading in iowa by ten points among those who say they will definitely caucus on february 1st. >> nancy cordes, thanks. of course, the campaign will be dominated by the economy, and today oil closed at just over $31 a barrel. since june of 2014, the price has fallen about $75, taking the price of gasoline along for the ride. cbs news business analyst jill schlesinger is with us. jill, that's good news for most people. >> reporter: absolutely. consumers reap a great benefit from low oil. last year, the average household saved $660 at the pump. it's like an unexpected tax refund. and cheap gas prices, along with low interest rates and an improving job market, helped boost auto sales. last year, automakers sold a
3:05 am
light trucks. >> but for a lot of folks in the country, it's bad news, too. >> reporter: absolutely. you know, after a big boom from 2010 to 2014, there is pain in the energy sector. the mining industry -- that includes oil, gas and coal -- lost 129,000 jobs last year. and that's just the direct hit. industries that serve miners, like a waitress working in a restaurant near a fracking site, may have been laid off. or a convenience store worker near an oil well had to be let go. but the ripple effects go even deeper. today, realtytrac released its final foreclosure numbers for 2015. while activity is down nationally, it is up in places like texas, north dakota and oklahoma, states that rely at least in part on the energy industry. so cheap oil might help our wallets, but when it comes to the overall economy, the news is mixed. >> jill schlesinger, thanks. well, today oil was up 72 cents, and that revived wall
3:06 am
3:07 am
peddling rotten mortgages. today, ten prisoners from yemen were released from guantanamo bay and sent to the persian gulf nation of oman. the prison, on a u.s. navy base in cuba, was created to hold terrorism suspects, particularly from the battlefield in afghanistan. many have been held for years without charges. in 2009, president obama said he was ordering the prison closed but congress refused. 93 prisoners remain, down from nearly 700. isis says it was behind the attack today in jakarta,
3:08 am
bombs and bullets killed two and wounded at least 26. but the five attackers had bigger plans. seth doane is following this for us tonight. seth? >> reporter: good evening, scott. this is another example of isis trying to extend its reach. as more details are emerging, we're learning that the attack, which involved a series of explosions and a gun battle in central jakarta, could have been much worse. images from the scene show cars with bullet holes and attackers wearing suicide vests. one of those attackers detonated his vest inside a starbucks, but a law enforcement source tells us another attacker died when his vest detonated by accident. indonesia has more muslims than any other country in the world, but it is a country that's known for its mainstream teaching of islam, and the fear here is that isis may be gaining a foothold in southeast asia. >> seth doane in beijing for us
3:09 am
seth, thank you. the attempted assassination of a philadelphia police officer last thursday is also being investigated as terrorism. but fbi director james comey said today there is no evidence the gunman, who you see there, who professed allegiance to isis, belonged to a larger terror cell. officer jesse hartnett remains in critical but stable condition. the gunman was arrested. chicago has seen a dramatic spike in shootings this month. since january 1st, the city is averaging a shooting every three hours. adriana diaz is looking into this. >> reporter: just two hours into the new year, 24-year-old deandre holiday was gunned down after a fight at a new year's eve party, the first homicide of a bloody 2016. >> shots fired. i hear shots fired. >> reporter: since january 1st, 110 people have been shot compared to 37 during the same time last year.
3:10 am
>> in terms of crime, it's been a little bit of a frustrating start. >> reporter: john escalante is the acting superintendent of police. his predecessor, garry mccarthy, was fired in december. >> a lot of it is gang conflicts, but also heavily driven by social media. >> reporter: feuds that play out on sites like facebook and twitter. while overall crime was down before the new year, gun violence is soaring. one factor, police officers may be holding back in fear of being the subject of a viral video, a point chicago mayor rahm emanuel was overheard making to attorney general loretta lynch last fall. >> reporter: do you think the police is doing enough? >> i don't know if you can do enough. >> reporter: raydell lacey's 19- year old grandson, eric, was one of the 21 people killed by guns this year. he had just started a job two weeks ago, and hoped to join the navy.
3:11 am
head in an apparent ambush. lacey said he wasn't in a gang. >> before he passed, they say, he said, "we good, we good, y'all?" then we didn't hear him anymore and he was slumped over. [ crying ] oh, god, oh, god. >> reporter: to try to curb the violence, the acting superintendent has decentralized the police gang unit. now smaller teams are permanently based in communities known for gang activity. scott, the goal is to try to stop conflicts before they start. >> adriana diaz in chicago tonight. adriana, thank you. well, here's a rarity -- a winter hurricane bearing down on the azores, 1,700 miles off portugal. "alex" is the first january
3:12 am
forecasters say it could hit the azores tomorrow with 85mph winds. we don't know who the powerball winners are yet, but there are at least three who will share the largest jackpot ever, $1.6 billion. the tickets were sold in the working-class town of munford, tennessee, the l.a. suburb of chino hills and in melbourne beach, florida. the lottery boasts that the billions it rakes in goes to help public schools in most states. we wondered how that's working. turns out in michigan, not too well. anna werner is in detroit. >> reporter: photos from detroit's public schools tell the story of dilapidated buildings, many in need of emergency repair, and pest problems. a student shot this video today of a mouse roaming a district high school. patrick bosworth's eighth grade son attends a language magnet school where he says classes are
3:13 am
cold. >> he's gone from one class to the other, where he's wearing a short-sleeve shirt, and then he's putting on his winter coat. >> reporter: lottery dollars were designed to help schools like these in detroit. they're often advertised as giving a big boost to education, but often that's not the case. 27 states give lottery funds to schools, but only eight spend it specifically on new programs like grants and scholarships. the 19 others, including michigan, do not use lottery profits as additional funding for public schools. instead, it's used to fund the existing budget. michigan state representative sherry gay danygo. do you think it is misleading to people? >> absolutely. it is misleading. >> reporter: so people who buy tickets thinking, i'm helping education, do you think they're doing as much as they are? >> absolutely. they believe they are but they're absolutely not benefiting education. >> reporter: more than $740 million lottery dollars are given to michigan schools each
3:14 am
gay danygo says there's no reason the buildings should be in such bad shape. >> i think that our priorities and our values are not aligned. i think we need to dispel the myth that the lottery is helping to improve education because it hasn't. >> reporter: michigan has the 11th largest lottery in the country, with revenues of some $2.6 billion last year. so, scott, that's $740 million that went to schools was just a small portion of that. >> anna werner in lansing tonight. anna, thank you. today a memorial was held at arlington national cemetery for a tuskegee airman missing in action since 1945. second lieutenant samuel leftenant was in a midair collision while escorting bombers over austria. soldiers carried an empty casket representing his remains and leftenant's sister accepted this flag in his honor.

with "the big short," "bridge of spies," "brooklyn," "mad max: fury road," "the martian," "room" and "spotlight." there were some inspiring performances by black actors, so it surprised many today that all 20 nominees for acting are white. john blackstone says it's the second year in a row. >> what an exciting morning. >> reporter: the announcement of the academy award nominations this morning was as notable for those who were left off the list as for those who were on it. >> ...and sylvester stallone in "creed." [ applause ] >> this is bigger than they are. they have to listen to us now. >> reporter: will smith was not nominated for his performance in "concussion." nor were idris elba and abraham attah chosen for their critically-acclaimed roles in "beasts of no nation". likewise, tessa thomson and michael b. jordan were ignored for highly praised performances in "creed." instead the oscar nominations went almost exclusively to white
3:19 am
only the director of "the revenant," alejandro innaritu from mexico, broke into the all- white crowd. the response was immediate. on twitter, hashtag "oscars so white" went viral. it should not have come as a surprise after the same criticism last year. this is how neil patrick harris opened the awards show. >> welcome to the 87th oscars. tonight we honor hollywood's best and whitest -- sorry, brightest. >> reporter: today on "the talk," kevin frazier blamed the demographics of academy voters. >> the academy voters still 94% white, 76% male, and their average age is 63. >> reporter: those voters did select one african-american themed movie. "straight out of compton" was nominated for best original screenplay. the writers are white. john blackstone, cbs news, san francisco. >> a classically trained actor became a legendary villain.
3:20 am
we come back. alan rickman was a born movie villain with a sinuous sneer and a voice that rolled in like a malevolent fog. >> how nice to make your acquaintance. >> rickman's hans gruber tormented bruce willis in "die hard." >> do you really think you have a chance against us, mr. cow by? >> yippee kai-yay. >> mr. potter. our new celebrity.
3:21 am
"harry potter" films as severus snape, hogwarts' seemingly sinister professor who ultimately swore his undying love to potter's late mother. >> always. >> alan rickman died of cancer today in london. he was 69. there was a big premier in new york city today, really big. scientists call it a titanosaur. the skeleton is 122 feet long, too big to fit in its room. the head and neck poke into the hallway. it probably weighed 70 tons, as much as ten african elephants, when it roamed the forests of south america 100 million years ago. up next, the historic powerball
3:22 am
hit the jackpot. as we mentioned, one of the three winning powerball tickets was sold in chino hills, california, and mireya villarreal is there. >> chino hills, chino hills, chino hills! >> reporter: you would think someone here actually won the lottery, but most of these people like mike gradilla didn't win anything. they just showed up to celebrate one of the winning tickets being sold here. do you think the winner could be here tonight? >> it's hard to say.
