>> glor: thousands of migrants arrive in germany. exhaustion and elation in munich, but many more still left in limbo as the pope today issues a call for help across europe. a new poll shows democratic presidential candidate bernie sanders leading hillary clinton in the nation's first primary states. a 100-ton whale entangled in a fishing line off the coast of california and set to be rescued is now missing. and, the future of football, not outside on the field, but inside the mind. captioning sponsored by cbs this is the "cbs evening news." >> glor: hi, everyone, i'm jeff glor. and this is the western edition of the broadcast. there are more than 121,000 catholic parishes across europe, and today pope francis calls on every one of them to take in

migrants. the pope made his direct call for help on the migrant crisis when he spoke at the vatican as the lines of those fleeing syria and elsewhere continues in staggering numbers. germany is already bracing to take in 800,000 migrants this year, many arriving in munich, that is where we begin with charlie d'agata. >> reporter: germany drew down its borders and opened its arms. ♪ >> reporter: the interior ministry said nearly 12,000 migrants have arrived over the weekend and counting. the fear and desperation that had been etched on their faces for so long gave way to relief and smiles. and while they were welcomed too at the train station in vienna, no one wants to hang around long. they jumped on the first train they could to germany, europe's richest country, and one that allows all syrian migrants to apply for asylum.

on board was a curious mix of migrants and ordinary paying passengers. many took a chance to get some rest, safe in the knowledge the next stop would be their last. and rest they did. but they had stories to share too. one young mother told us she had been traveling without her husband for a month. i'm going to ask what it is like traveling with a young baby. she said she had to walk for miles carrying not just four month old raya but everything they had with a toddler in tow. as they got closer to munich muhammad zuhair told us he had reason again to hope. what does that feel like? >> reporter: abdul tarim told us he worst part was hungary and how they were forced into refugee camps.

>> reporter: and you were locked up. >> reporter: one of those camps was still surrounded by armed guards today. those inside still waiting to know whether they too would be allowed to travel onwards. once migrants arrive here in munich, jeff, they're registered here and then they board buses to other parts of germany for accommodation. places like gymnasiums, even fair grounds. in some cases they begin training, a little bit of german and vocational skills. >> glor: charlie d'agata, thank you very much. in kentucky today lawyers for county clerk kim davis said they filed an appeal challenging the ruling that put her in jail for refusing to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples. jericka duncan is at the courthouse in moorehead. >> getting her out of jail is a priority for us because she doesn't belong there. she's a prisoner of conscience. >> reporter: roger gannon is one of the attorneys representing

kim davis. her legal team is hopeful today's appeal on the contempt order will get the county clerk out of jail soon. >> we hope through this first step and the subsequent appeal steps we take, we will be able to get a higher court to overturn the improper contempt order that the judge entered on thursday. >> reporter: today was the first day davis's husband joe saw his wife since she was locked up for defying a court order. davis's church did not hold its usual afternoon service. but you would be hard pressed to find a church in moorehead that is not urging support for davis. >> pray for kim davis. >> reporter: sherman chambers and his wife plan to do more. >> i will support her in any way she needs support. money or i would even go to jail with her. >> reporter: republican presidential candidate mike huckabee plans to meet with davis on tuesday. >> the county clerk in kentucky

who, acting on her christian faith, is criminalized, jailed without bail because she acted on her conscience and according to the only law that is in front of her. >> reporter: and fellow republican presidential candidate john kasich responded. >> now i respect the fact that this lady doesn't agree but she's also a government employee. she's not running a church. i think she has to comply. >> reporter: jeff, also today attorneys for davis said that a letter circulating on the internet purported to be from davis is fraudulent and fake. >> glor: jericka duncan, thank you very much. >> glor: in northern illinois, as the search continues for three men suspected of killing a police lieutenant last week, a memorial will be held tomorrow. david begnaud is in antioch, illinois. david? >> reporter: jeff, good evening. american flags are lined around the town high school where thousands of people are expected to attend the funeral for fox lake police lieutenant joe gliniewicz.

in the last 24 hours, trustees in the village of fox lake scrambled to appoint a police chief. it turns out four days before the lieutenant was killed, the chief of police abruptly retired amid an ongoing investigation into his department's handling of an arrest last year. an interim chief was named to help bring stability to a department in turmoil and now grieving the loss of lieutenant gliniewicz. as for the manhunt, 200 law enforcement officers are involved, five days since the ecrder and no arrests yet. as many as 2,000 police officers from around the country are expected to attend the funeral tomorrow for a man who leaves behind a wife and four children. >> glor: david begnaud, thank you. according to one new poll, hillary clinton is no longer trailing bernie sanders in new hampshire. sanders has pulled ahead. with more on this, here's julianna goldman. >> reporter: the sanders surge isn't just his massive crowds. the new poll shows bernie sanders beating clinton in new

hampshire 41% to 32%. the vermont senator is up 9 points from july when he was trailing the democratic front- runner. vice president joe biden whose entry into the race would further upend the democratic field is third with 16%. sanders spent the last three days blanketing iowa and railing against wall street. yesterday he said clinton's people are getting nervous about the kind of energy and enthusiasm his campaign has generated. after a summer marked by persistent questions about her private e-mail server while secretary of state, clinton's lead has also narrowed in iowa. the 24 point advantage she had in july has been cut to just 11. in new hampshire on saturday, clinton brushed off a question about her declining popularity. >> well, i've always thought this was going to be a competitive primary. and i welcome that. >> reporter: talk of a loss in early voting states harkens back to 2008. >> thank you all. >> reporter: clinton won new hampshire. >> we will win this caucus, we

will win this election. >> reporter: but president obama's earlier win in iowa catapulted him to eventually secure the nomination. she is determined to avoid a repeat. instead of relying on the first two nominating contests, clinton's campaign has a long- term strategy, to sweep south carolina and a host of other southern states on super-tuesday in march. as for joe biden, they had said he would make a decision by the end of september, but jeff, some close to him says he doesn't need to rush because the campaign has been so unpredictable that traditional rules have been thrown out the window. others close to the camp say he should decide before that first debate in october. >> glor: julianna goldman, thank you. a.a.a. estimates more than 35 mellion americans are traveling at least 50 miles from home this holiday weekend. and they are paying the lowest labor day gas prices in 11 years. the average is about $2.40 a gallon, more than a dollar less than last year. here with more is barrons.com editor jack otter. a couple parts to this story.

first off, this is a big bonus to consumers. >> it sure is the energy department estimates more than 700 dollars will be in consumer's pockets thanks to savings at the pump, airfares down 5.5% on average. and good news for industries, shipper, industrial company, even the auto industry. retail should be getting a bump. we haven't seen that yet but it's also tough on some other industries. >> glor: a barrel of oil under $50, 46 now, you think it will go under 40 actually. that does mean layoffs. >> it does because this is very painful for energy companies. we've already seen over 100,000 jobs lost in the oil patch and these are high-paying jobs. a lot in texas, north dakota and other places. conoco philips announced it was cutting 10% of its workforce, that's 1,800, baker hughes, halliburton and drillerss are getting hit each announced over 10,000 layoffs. >> glor: any indication opec led by the saudi will cut production? >> there was a rumor, oil prices shot up 27%.

that turned out to be unfounded. they are falling again. nobody wants to make the first move. it's like a global game of chicken as saudi arabia tries it lower prices in the hopes of gaining market share against the new u.s. fracking industry. russia is hurting, venezuela is getting hammered and even our trading partners brazil and canada, canada is in recession. so low oil prices are great, but it also hurts a lot of people. >> glor: thanks very much. >> any time. >> glor: tonight, at least 45 large wildfires are burning in seven states across the west. nearly a dozen of them are in idaho, where a national interagency fire center has its command center. chris martinez went inside. >> reporter: throughout the summer one large wildfire has been followed by another and yet another. >> we're in a place we've never been before in the level of activity that we've experienced this season. >> reporter: it's dan buckley's job to help determine who goes where, decisions that are made at the national interagency fire center in boise.

each person here has had on the ground experience fighting fires. this year resources are stretched to the breaking point. >> you know that the firefighters out there are asking for help and we can't provide it. it's like being a parent that you are trying to feed your kids and yet don't have any food to give them. >> reporter: is there any state you have not pulled resources from? >> i doubt it, not at this time. we've been to puerto rico too. >> reporter: chuck wamack says his role is like moving thousands of pieces on a giant chessboard. it's been tough this summer, he says, so tough that they've deploy crews from as far away as australia and new zealand. even the u.s. army. the goal, he says is to move villages of firefighters to remote locations at blazing speed. >> you can get it there pretty immediately. you can get a new fire in southern utah, a couple of 100 helicopters over the fire before dinner time. we can bring in the capable to feed 1,500 people three meals a day, set up a city, essentially.

>> reporter: that's where sunshine meitzner comes in. >> firefighters aren't happy without food or showers. >> reporter: she is now working 13 hour days, seven days a week to keep crews clean and fed. >> it's very important what we do here. everything that comes from out of area to these fires comes through us. >> reporter: what keeps you up at night? ge firefighters getting injured or killed. >> reporter: this summer alone a firefighter died in northern california and three more in washington state. buckley attended their funeral last weekend. >> it's like we get nicked a little bit in our heart every time something like that happens. there have been a lot of nicks this year. >> reporter: every morning buckley walks this path near the fire command center. it's a memorial with plaques honoring the fallen. >> i think about these people and what they go through, and the stress they felt. and it kind of diminishes the stress i feel sitting in a comfortable office making decisions. >> reporter: the decisions that
