the national park service is celebrating its 100th year. conor knighton visited oregon's crater lake and its most famous attraction. deepest lake in the entire country. the pristine water in this collapsed volcano is so unbelievably blue it seems magical. it cast such a spell on early visitors they named the cone in the center wizard island. >> i love the name wizard island. >> mm-hmm. it kind of evokes a little bit
2:53 am
>> reporter: mystery is what brought me to this national park in southern oregon. specifically, a mister tree. i've come to pay my respects to the old man of the lake. >> it's an honor to meet you, sir. >> the old man of the lake was first discovered in 1896 by joseph diller, who was a geologist and explorer, and he described him as a spectacle, curious enough to excite the imagination. >> reporter: it may not look like much, but this part of a tree has been part of this park a 30-foot-long log implausibly bobbing upright for 120 years. mark batenica is an aquatic ecologist for the park. as he monitors the water quality of crater lake he also ends up monitoring the movements of the old man. that's right. this seemingly unsinkable tree gets around. >> you would think that the four
2:54 am
he'll move all the way across the lake against the wind. >> reporter: it's as if he has a mind of his own. the old man can travel miles in a single day. today he's close to the shore. tomorrow he could be in the middle of the lake. in the 1930s the government commissioned a study of his movements. in their log of the log rangers observed the old man move over 60 miles in less than three months. and inquiring minds want to know, why hasn't the old man rocks may have once weighed down the roots, waterlogging the bottom while the sun dried out the top. but mark botenica isn't as concerned with the why. >> i think maybe some questions should remain unanswered, that maybe it's part of the human condition to believe in a little bit of mystery and the interconnectedness of all things. >> so as a scientist you're okay with maybe not knowing? >> i'm okay with not knowing.

some school administrators are coming under fire for the way they punish their wayward students. dozens of schools have canceled their homecoming dances this month. mireya villareal is at corona del mar high school outside los angeles. homecoming dance last weekend.i- >> reporter: you know, administrators here say some of their students were drinking and being disruptive at a football game last month and that prompted the cancellation of corona del mar's homecoming dance but a lot of people are saying is this counterproductive to punish everyone for the bad behavior of just a few? corona del mar high school's homecoming football game went on as scheduled last week but this past weekend's homecoming dance was canceled. a casualty of alleged student drinking at a recent game.
2:58 am
student fans was despicable and deplorable. >> that's just out of control. you know, when you're under age you shouldn't be drinking anyways. >> reporter: the school decided to send a clear signal. >> as a consequence of extremely inappropriate and totally inexcusable behavior the homecoming activities have been canceled. >> you're punishing everybody because of a select bunch of idiots? i mean, come on. >> reporter: at walpole high school south of boston student drinking at school dances forced the principal to halt them all except for prom. other kids because they want to have fun at the dance too. >> reporter: walpole's principal issued a statement to cbs news, "we are working together to move forward and address this age-old but increasingly pervasive issue head on." >> i think some of the responsibility has to go to the parents. >> reporter: the national institutes of health says the percentage of high school students engaging in binge drinking has actually declined over the past decade. but the percentage of students drinking at levels far beyond the binge threshold is a growing
2:59 am
rod pickell and his daughter sally who attends corona del mar high school understand why the homecoming dance was canceled. >> i think sometimes actions as big as that are necessary even though it's a real bummer for, you know, the students who weren't participating. >> if it actually facilitates something positive, then it was the right decision. and if that doesn't happen then you certainly could question whether it was the right call. >> reporter: high school officials in portland, maine say they defend their actions and they were worrd canceling most of their dances. a lot of the reason why was because they were worried about students being drunk, showing up drunk or under the influence of drugs. one of the superintendents that we spoke with, gayle, actually said he's in the education business, not the nightclub business and he defends his actions. >> and that's the overnight news for this friday. for some of you the news continues. for others check back a little later for the morning news and

trump, on accusations of sexual assault. >> they are totally and absolutely false. >> and the first lady on the vulgar comments he does not deny. >> it has shaken me to my core in a way that i couldn't have predicted. also tonight, hackers invade state election systems. officials blame russia. >> they don't need the red army anymore. they have the internet. elizabeth palmer with the most innocent victims of syria's civil war. >> and the kids who were hurt and killed? they were just walking along on their way to school. and who just won a nobel prize? ? the answer, my friend ?
3:01 am
? the answer is blowin' in the wind ? >> announcer: this is the "cbs overnight news." the republican candidate for president stood on one stage and denied accusations of sexual assault, and the first lady stood on another and chastised him over his treatment of women. since friday at least five women have told newspapers that donald trump assaulted them, years ago. lies, spun by an alliance of the clinton campaign and what he called the media. >> they will attack you. they will slander you. they will seek to destroy your career and your family. they will seek to destroy everything about you, including your reputation. they will lie, lie, lie.
3:02 am
worse than that. they will do whatever's necessary. the clintons are criminals. remember that. they're criminals. people who are capable of such crimes against our nation are capable of anything. and so now we address the slander and libels that was just last night thrown at me by the clinton machine and the "new york times" and other media outlets as part of a coordinated and vicious attack. these vicious claims about me of inappropriate conduct with women are totally and absolutely false. >> trump has already apologized for his vulgar remarks on that 2005 video that surfaced last week. in counterpoint to trump today,
3:03 am
this. it has shaken me to my core in a way that i couldn't have predicted. it's like that sick, sinking feeling you get when you're walking down the street minding your own business and some guy yells out vulgar words about your body. or when you -- you see that guy at work that stands just a little too close, stares a little too long, and makes you feel skin. it's that feeling of terror and violation that too many women have felt when somebody has grabbed them or forced himself on them and they've said no but he didn't listen. the shameful comments about our bodies. the disrespect of our ambitions and intellect. the belief that you can do anything you want to a woman? it is cruel.
3:04 am
and the truth is it hurts. this is not normal. this is not politics as usual. [ cheers and applause ] this is disgraceful. it is intolerable. and it doesn't matter what party you belong to, democrat, republican, independent, no woman deserves to be treated this way. abuse. >> now let's bring in major garrett covering the trump campaign and nancy cordes who's on the clinton campaign. major, first to you. trump also said today that very soon he would release evidence to refute these allegations of sexual assault. >> reporter: scott, those familiar with the inner workings of the trump campaign tell us that if the republican nominee had such hard evidence he would have released it publicly already. on facebook, twitter, and elsewhere.
3:05 am
which two women were quoted saying trump accosted them nun wanted and sexually aggressive ways. the "times" said the story was thoroughly reported in the national interest and said it welcomed a threatened legal challenge from trump. and only last sunday trump's campaign manager, kellyanne conway tweeted that hillary clinton was right several months ago when she said every victim of sexual assault should be heard, believed, and supported. but scott, i must tell you at this rally here in cincinnati and elsewhere today, trump simply do not care about these allegations. >> major, thank you. nancy cordes, what has hillary clinton said about all this today? >> reporter: well, first of all, she said twice that everyone should go and watch michelle obama's speech. she also told supporters at a fund-raiser here in san francisco that she's worried that some of the rhetoric coming from her opponent will discourage voters from both sides from getting out to the polls on election day. she said somewhat tongue in
3:06 am
supporters go and vote then the upside is that in 26 days donald trump won't be in the news anymore. >> and every day wikileaks has been leaking out more internal e-mails from the clinton campaign. what did we see today? >> reporter: 1,800 more sensitive documents. staffers talking about everything from tensions between top aides to clinton's e-mail scandal. her running mate suggested today that some of these hacked e-mails might be hasn't given us any specific examples of that. >> major garrett, nancy cordes, thanks very much. make note of this. trump's running mate, mike pence, will be a guest on "cbs this morning." don't miss it. the fbi is checking out a bomb that was found in a backpack yesterday outside nedderland, colorado outside the police department there.
3:07 am
backpack thinking that a colleague had left it. the bomb was active, but it did not explode. the man accused of setting off bombs in new jersey and new york last month was arraigned in his hospital bed today. ahmad rahimi pleaded not guilty to charges he tried to kill officers as they captured him. rahimi, an afghan-born u.s. citizen, was wounded in a gun battle with lyndon, new jersey police. more than 30 people were injured en in manhattan.
3:10 am
those hacked e-mails are a plot by the russians to disrupt the election, at least according to the u.s. government, which also alleges that the russians are trying to break into state voting systems. one of those attacks was in arizona, where we find jeff pegues. >> reporter: the hacking attempt on arizona's voter database started in rural hila county when an elections worker opened an e-mail attachment. >> very scary stuff. >> reporter: michelle reagan, arizona's secretary of state, says it was malware meant to attack these servers holding the voter information of 4 million people. >> we had a cybersecurity team in place. >> reporter: reagan was alerted by the fbi. experts believe the russian government is to blame.
3:11 am
>> shock. and dismay, obviously. because we've never had to worry about foreign invaders coming in and trying to mess with our confidence in our election system. >> reporter: arizona, illinois, florida and nearly two dozen other states have seen similar scanning, probing, or breaches of their election systems. >> the russians have a different doctrine than we do. >> reporter: for over a decade jim lewis has advised the u.s. government on >> they're using information as a way to achieve their political goals. they don't need the red army anymore. they have the internet. >> reporter: president vladimir putin and other senior russian officials have denied involvement, calling u.s. accusations nonsense. >> the biggest thing we were worried about was did they take any information? >> reporter: reagan says she is confident the voter database wasn't compromised. but she says the attacks continue.
3:12 am
here say that there were 192,000 intrusion attempts, about 11,000 of them posed a serious threat. reagan and 32 other secretaries of state have asked the department of homeland security for help. >> i liken it to when you're being invaded by russia you don't call in your national guard. at some point you have to say, you know, i need the army. >> reporter: changing actual vote totals isif connected to the internet. but throwing confusion into an already contentious election, that's a lot easier. and scott, that's what officials believe the russians are trying to do. >> jeff pegues for us tonight. jeff, thank you. and another note. cbs news will be bringing you live coverage of the third and final clinton-trump debate. that's in las vegas next wednesday at 9:00 eastern, 8:00

3:14 am
>> reporter: it's an all too familiar sight. a u.s. navy ship launching missiles against targets in the middle east. but this was different. this was the first time the u.s. has fired at one of the warring sides in yemen's civil war, which pits rebels backed by iran against government forces backed by saudi arabia and the united arab emirates. the war has claimed an estimated 10,000 lives, many of them civilians, some of them killed by saudi airstrikes flown with the help of american aerial refueling and intelligence. the strike at 4:00 this morning local time came after the u.s. destroyer "mason" reported coming under attack by anti-ship missiles fired from territory held by the iranian-backed rebels. a second destroyer, the "uss nizze, launched cruise missiles at three unmanned radar stations u.s. officials believe to have been used in the attacks against
3:15 am
severely degrade the accuracy of any future attacks. the weapon fired against the "mason" was an unsophisticated version of the silkworm anti-ship missile, which has poor accuracy to begin with but carries a large warhead. this video purports to show what happened when one of them hit a ship belonging to the united arab emirates earlier this month. none of the missiles fired at the "mason" reached their could still fire missiles aimed at american ships. and if they do, the pentagon has already vowed to retaliate again. scott? >> david martin at the pentagon for us this evening. david, thank you. coming up next, elizabeth palmer is inside aleppo, syria as a

but the second allegation was made, dates back to 2005, from a young woman who was working in trump tower at the time. she was a 22-year-old reception for bayrock, a company located there. she says she bumped into trump outside an elevator and that she introduced herself, they shook hands, he kissed her on the cheek, and then proceeded to kiss her on the mouth and she felt uncomfortable about it. so what do you do when you get -- when two women come to you -- >> did they come to you? did you put out a call for them? they reached out to us. >> and back to norah's question. how do you verify it? >> what we do is we interview the women, in both cases more than once, to make sure what they told us in their e-mails and, you know, lined up with what they told us in interviews. and then we also in both cases, these are women who had shared their stories with friends and family. in the case of the 22-year-old she immediately made a phone call to her sister right after this happened. she went home that night. she told her boyfriend.

boyfriend. we talked to the sister. in the case of jessica, we talked to other people she had told as well. >> and did you talk to donald trump? >> yes. but before we get to that, we talked not just to the two women who went on the record and used their names. we talked to the people around them who went on the record and used their names. there are no anonymous quotations in this story. these are people who are putting their names and their reputations by the claims that were described in these stories. i think that's important. >> at the time that they allege these assaults they had told recall similar stories -- >> in the case of rachel crooks that's absolutely correct. in the case of jessica leeds she began about a year and a half ago she said to tell a widening circle of people including her son, her nephew, and more than two friends. but we talked to two friends as well as the nephew and son, who recall the details of what she told them, which lined up with what she told us. >> megan, you talked to donald trump, you said? >> right. absolutely. we would never just go ahead and publish these accounts without talking to the presidential

specifically, a mister tree. i've come to pay my respects to the old man of the lake. >> it's an honor to meet you, sir. >> the old man of the lake was first discovered in 1896 by joseph diller, who was a geologist and explorer, and he described him as a spectacle, curious enough to excite the imagination. >> reporter: it may not look like much, but this part of a tree has been part of this park since i a 30-foot-long log implausibly bobbing upright for 120 years. mark batenica is an aquatic ecologist for the park. as he monitors the water quality of crater lake he also ends up monitoring the movements of the old man. that's right. this seemingly unsinkable tree gets around. >> you would think that the four

he'll move all the way across the lake against the wind. >> reporter: it's as if he has a mind of his own. the old man can travel miles in a single day. today he's close to the shore. tomorrow he could be in the middle of the lake. in the 1930s the government commissioned a study of his movements. in their log of the log rangers observed the old man move over 60 miles in less than three months. and inquiring minds want to know, why hasn't the old man sunk? rocks may have once weighed down the roots, water loging the bottom while the sun dried out the top. but mark botenica isn't as concerned with the why. >> i think maybe some questions should remain unanswered, that maybe it's part of the human condition to believe in a little bit of mystery and the interconnectedness of all things. >> so as a scientist you're okay

concern. rod pickell and his daughter sally who attends corona del mar high school understand why the homecoming dance was canceled. >> i think sometimes actions as big as that are necessary even though it's a real bummer for, you know, the students who weren't participating. >> if it actually facilitates something positive it was the right decision. and if that doesn't happen then you certainly could question whether it was the right call. >> reporter: high school officials in portland, maine say they they were worried about canceling most of their dances. a lot of the reason why was because they were worried about students being drunk, showing up drunk or under the influence of drugs. one of the superintendents that we spoke with, gail, actually said he's in the education business, not the nightclub business and he defends his actions. >> and that's the overnight news for this friday. for some of you the news continues. for others check back a little later for the morning news and "cbs this morning."
