>> axelrod: good evening. i'm jim axelrod. for the second time in 10 days, u.s. special forces attempted to save an american journalist who was being held by an al qaeda group in yemen. this attempt early this morning ended tragically in the death of 33-year-old luke somers and another hostage, a 56-year-old south african named pierre korkie. the u.s. government says the two men were shot by their captors during the raid which was undertaken, according to government officials, because of intelligence that somers' life was in imminent danger. here's david martin. >> reporter: the deadline by which al qaeda threatened to execute somers was only hours away when a team of 40 u.s. navy seals flew into yemen aboard osprix tilt rotor aircraft and hiked to a large-walled compound where he was held. as they approached the compound at 1:00 saturday morning, something-- perhaps a barking dog-- gave the seals away and. they were spotted by guards. a firefight broke out. this video posted on a jihadi web site purports to show that

fight. while the seals were shooting their way in, a person was seen running to a building in the southeast corner of the compound where sommers and another hostage, south african pierre korkie, were imprisond. by the time the seals got there, somers and korkie were bleeding from gunshot wounds, apparently inflicted by the person who had run into the building. the seals, who had a medic with them, rushed them to the osprey which flew them to a ship off the coast of 'em yemen. one died en route and the other on the operating table. defense secretary haig nel afghanistan today says sade somers was shot by his captors. >> he was murder during an attempt by american forces to rescue him from terrorist groups in yemen. >> reporter: somers' death made his plea, record after his first failed attempt to rescue him, seem all the more poignant. >> i'm looking for any help that can get me out of this

situation. i'm certain that my life is in danger. so as i sit here now, i ask if anything can be done, please let it be done. >> reporter: but the bitterest irony is that the other hostage, pierre korkie, was to have been released tomorrow in return for money paid by the charitable organization for which he worked. jim. >> axelrod: david martin at the pentagon, thank you. military officials in pakistan say they took out a senior al qaeda leader in a helicopter attack today. adnan shukrijumah was a saudi who grew up in the united states. he was indicted in a plot to bomb the new york city subway system in 2009. we turn next to the philippines where a huge and slow-moving typhoon is pounding the country tonight. seth doane has the latest. >> reporter: this powerful typhoon barreled into the central philippines with maximum sustained winds of more than 100 miles per hour, ripping off roofs, toppling trees, and

knocking out power. this slow-moving storm could take upwards of three days to churn its way across the country, raising worries of flooding and one of the biggest fears, landslides. ahead of the storm, around 650,000 people evacuated low-lying areas. many are still shaken by memories of typhoon haiyan, which struck the philippines in november 2013. >> if this is a dream, i should wake up. >> reporter: it seems like a nightmare. we witnessed haiyan's destruction in hard-hit tacloban. more than 7300 people were killed or missing following that typhoon. this one, hagupit, is weaker, but it's still the most powerful typhoon so far this year. aid groups say they are particularly concerned about higher-than-expected rainfall. and, jim, the entire military in the pill feens has been

mobilized to help clear roads and keep order. >> axelrod: seth doane covering for us on that typhoon tonight. thank you. protests continued across the country today over the death of eric garner. die-ins were stage at union station in washington, d.c. and on hollywood boulevard in los angeles, and there were multiple rallies in seattle. much of the outrage focuses on the video of the take-down during garner's arrest, but there's another tape showing what happened after he was already on the ground saying, "i can't breathe." as jericka duncan reports, that tape has led to more troubling questions. >> i can't breathe. i can't breathe. >> reporter: eric garner said those words several times before he stopped talking. >> let's go, back up! >> reporter: a second eyewitness video nearly eight minutes longs shows what happened from that point on. you can see police prop garner up on his right side. they say they did that to help him breathe. >> clear the sidewalk.

e.m.s. is coming down the sidewalk. >> reporter: what you don't see is an apparent urgency on the part of the police, even though garner would die less than an hour later. >> ems is here, all right. >> reporter: it's more than four minutes into the video before an e.m.s. worker aexpriefs checks garner's pulse. >> sir, it's e.m.s. come on. we're going to get you help. >> reporter: garner says nothing. nearly six minutes into the video, police and emergency responders roll garn or his back before garner is put in the ambulance, the person shooting the video asks why garner never received c.p.r. >> because he's breathing. >> reporter: the camera catches officer daniel pantaleo waving. he's the one who put garnener a chokehold. this video raises questions about whether police and first responders tried hard enough to save garn. the medical examiner caused the death a homicide, caution of

death, compression of the neck, the chokehold, and prone positioning during the physical restraint by police. an official from the police union disputes those findings and said officers were correct in turning garn or his side and immediately calling an ambulance for help. an e-mail request to the n.y.p.d. regarding police emergency training went unanswered. we called the union president for e.m.t.s and paramedics, israel miranda. he told us based on the video, more should have been done. >> there was a lack of initial intervention. they were not aggressive. this was something that is engraved in your training. >> reporter: before e.m.s. workers who responded to garner are not with the new york city fire department's union, two are back to work, while the other two remain suspended. jim. >> axelrod: jericka, thank you. a passenger aboard an amtrak train in michigan is under arrest tonight after allegedly stabbing three passengers and the conductor.

it happened in niles, michigan, about 10 miles north of south end, indiana, early last evening. as vanita nair reports amtrak conductors spotted the man before the attack. >> reporter: as the amtrak train pulled into the stakes, officers pushed their way past 172 frantic passengers to confront 44-year-old michael williams. police chief jim millin says they used a stun gun to subdue him. >> when the officers got here, the assaults were taking place. >> reporter: police say williams boarded the train alone in chicago. amtrak conductors noticed he was agitated and acting strangely. they called their dispatch who got in touch with police. that was moments before passenger caitlin cipri heard screaming. >> and i was like, "oh, my god. he's punching the guy." and then i saw him bring his fist back up and i noticed there was something in his fist resembling a knife blade.

>> reporter: before police got to williams, he had allegedly stabbed one woman, two men, and a male conductor. all four of his victims are in stable condition. while amtrak says it conducts random screenings, including canine units and bag searches, there are no mandatory security checks for passengers to board. police don't know what triggered this violent attack or if the suspect knew any of his victims. vanita nair, cbs news, new york. >> axelrod: the democrats' last senate seat in the deep south is at stake in today's runoff election in lose between incumbent mary landrieu and republican challenger bill cassidy. let's bring in cbs news election director anthony salvanto. it appears senator landrieu has an uphill climb. >> she does. runoff elections normally favor the party that has the momentum. moreover, it's not just been a republican year as you saw in november but it's actually becoming more and more difficult

for any democratic candidate in the deep south now. >> axelrod: why is that? >> part of it comes down to national versus local politics. nationally, the democratic party is rated very low in the deep south. a lot of southern conservatives feel that the party nationally has just bottom b.c. too liberal for them. so even when candidates like mary landrieu want to stress what they've done locally, it's the "d" after their name that makes things additionally difficult. >> axelrod: if she does get beat, what does that mean? >> reporter: it means if the democrats are going to compete in the deep south they will have to find candidates who can successfully break through and project a maybe more moderate image for a lot of those conservative voters. >> axelrod: anthony salvanto, thank you. >> thank you. >> reporter: gas prices are plunging in texas as well as in neighboring oklahoma and several other states. drivers are lining up for gas that is now selling for less than $2 a gallon. national average is $2.69, the cheapest it's been in four years. the sony pictures hack attack gets personal. and after 38 years, a remorseful

thief returns a bicentennial flag when the cbs evening news continues.

>> axelrod: we've got a hollywood whodunit to tell you about tonight. the f.b.i. has been looking into a major computer breach at sony pictures for the past two weeks, but friday's the hacking took an ominous turn as several employees received threatening e-mails. here's carter evans. >> reporter: cbs news has confirmed that some sony pictures employees are concerned after receiving a rambling e-mail yesterday written in broken english. it asked them to sign a statement cutting ties with sony. the message claimed to be from the head of a group calling itself guardians of peace which has taken responsibility for a series of hacks against sony. the attacks began on november 24 when this image popped on to nearly 4,000 company computer screens. hackers stole sensitive

corporate documents and erased hard drives. computer security firm identity finder analyzed the data hackers released online and found more than 47,000 social security numbers, including current and former sony employees, as well as personal information of celebrities like sylvester stallone and director judd apatow. sony has declined to comment, but the f.b.i. confirms it's now investigating saying, "recent events underscore the persistence and maliciousness of harmful cyber criminals." the agency won't say who may be responsible. cbs news reported earlier this week the computer code used in the initial attack on sony was written in korean, adding to speculation that north korea may be behind the attack. sony executives have reportedly been told the attack was unprecedented and carried out by an organized group. carter evans, cbs news, los angeles. >> axelrod: up next, the university of virginia says it will continue to reform its sexual assault policies, even as

questions are raised about a report on an alleged gang rape on campus.

>> >> axelrod: the article was disturbing. , its effects immediate, a police investigation, suspension of all greek activity and nationwide notoriety. tonight, even with key pieces of a "rolling stone" article about the alleged gang rape of a university of virginia student in doubt, the university says it has learned its lesson and is promising to continue with proposed reforms. mark albert is there. >> reporter: the messages of support began colored post-it notes stuck to the university of virginia admissions building. now they've gone viral. the hashtag "i stand with jackie" took off on twitter stand. "i stand with jackie because 92% of rape allegations are true," one person posted, "but thanks

to 'rolling stonealcy, all victims' accounts will be doubt." most students are angry with the magazine. not jackie. at friday's editors at "rolling stone" issued an / saying their trust in genetic was misplaced. what did you think when you read the "rolling stone" apology? >> i was frustrated, specifically that "rolling stone" put a lot of the blame on to jackie. >> reporter: sondra menendez is a fourth year student and survivors' advocate at u.v.a. she's heard jackie tell the same story she told "rolling stone," that she was gang raped by stef men at a 2012 fraternity party. do you still believe jackie giabsolutely believe jackie. i don't think she was flat-out lying but i think some of the details might have been muddied by trauma. >> the university has turned to an independent counsel to

review, "our policies, practices, and procedures regarding sexual assault" meneppedez says regardless of fallout from the article, this is an issue the university must address. >> we've recognized that we do have a problem here and that things need to change because it's a crime against humanity. >> reporter: the president of the fraternity's council told us he has not asked the university to lift its suspension on all greek activities, which is in place until january. and, jim, the "rolling stone" reporter has not returned any of our messages. >> axelrod: mark albert covering for us tonight on the campus of the university of virginia. thank you. still ahead, washington, d.c. says farewell to mayor for life marion barry.

>> axelrod: an american flag stolen 38 years ago in manchester, new hampshire, has been returned. it was taken from a park in

manchester, a notorious crime at the time. but this week, the local historical society got a package, and inside there it was. with it, a note, signed only "a flawed son of manchester." 13 days after his death, the man they called "mayor for life" in washington, d.c. what a larger-than-life celebration of his life. they raised the roof at the washington, d.c. convention center this afternoon, celebrating the life of marion barry, who died two weeks ago at the age of 78. the four-time mayor of washington-- that's where his nickname came from-- was the first civil rights activist to be elected mayor of a large american city and still a councilman when he died. his son, mar jon christopher barry, took measure of the man. >> there's not a person in this city or a corner of the city that he hasn't touched. and knowing that--

( applause ) marion barry will never die. you know they say d.c. will never be the same because marion barry is gone. you're right. there are now thousands of marion barrys out here. >> reporter: born in mississippi in 1936, barry played a crucial role in the civil rights movement of the 1960s. elected as the first chaimplet student nonviolent coordinating committee in 1960. >> god gave me a gift of courage, tenacity and vision. >> axelrod: he would make scandalous headlines in 1990 when he was arrested and did six months for a misdemeanor drug possession after an f.b.i. sting operation. but there were always plenty of people who never stopped loving marion barry in washington. it took three hours for the procession carrying his body to make a final eight-mile trip past the throngs who turned out to pay their respects. and it was his accomplishments and resilience, and not the low points of marion barry's life, that were saluted today.

marion barry will be buried in the congressional cemetery in washington. coming up, the custody fight over this ancient greek statue.

alone, argues the where she museum's sir richard lambert. >> we're not a political organization. our ideas in difficult times it is all the more important to change ideas to exchange cultural objects to have history talking. >> reporter: history aside, what many people are talking about is where does britain get off aloning out art that belongs to greece. the greeks lost their marbles to lord elgin, who took a bunch of them from the parthenon 200 years ago when he was an ambassador. the british say they weren't pillaged but protected and they're staying where they are, in britain. to the greeks, the 2500-year-old marbles are stolen property. they've even hired george clooney's wife, amal clooney, high high-powered international lawyer to fight their case that the marbles need to be returned and reunited. >> a horseman has his head in athens and body in london.

the greek got poseidon has his torso separated between greece and the u.k.. >> reporter: the british museum has offered to loan some of the marbles to greece, but they claim they've never receive aid formal request, but for greece, the idea of having to borrow something that is already theirtheirstheirs is nothing sha greek tragedy. charlie d'agata, cbs news, london. >> axelrod: and that's the cbs evening news for tonight. later on cbs, two editions of "48 hours." for now i'm jim axelrod in new york, and for all of us here at cbs news, thanks for joining us, and good night. captioning sponsored by cbs captioned by media access group at wgbh access.wgbh.org
