>> reporter: russia always denied that, scott. it maintains it was probably the ukrainian army that fired the missile. today a foreign ministry spokesman said he had serious doubts about the dutch conclusions. >> elizabeth palmer, reporting for us in our london newsroom tonight. liz, thank you. tonight we learned deaths linked to ice cream tainted with bacteria were part of an outbreak that had actually been going on for years. in april, blue bell creameries recalled product from 23 states because of listeria which can be fatal to those with weak immune systems. in part 2 of our investigation, jim axelrod shows us how the case of the mystery deaths was solved. >> reporter: when megan davis and team from the south carolina department of health randomly sampled ten products from a local blue bell distribution center in january, the last thing they expected to find was listeria. >> it was unbelievable, actually. we never in a million years

out where it was coming from. the listeria patterns found in south carolina solved the mystery in kansas. it turns out all five of the patients had been served milk shakes made with blue bell ice cream. >> in mid february, blue bell quietly pulled all of the i cream made on the machine that produced the ice cream testing positive in south carolina citing a quality issue. via christie had blue bell product in its freezers. the kansas department of health tested 45 them and found another hit. >> when that was loaded up into the pulsenet database, it matched five other patients. but these weren't recent. >> reporter: these five cases came from three different states. going back to 2010. >> unknown and unappreciated to any one a low-level outbreak was going on for, four or five

finally tonight, is it news when a major publication promises to cover more of what made it famous? it is when the publication is "playboy." here's anthony mason. >> reporter: from its first issue in 1953, publisher h of the the -- hugh hefner. >> i started "playboy." >> he called his magazine a pleasure primer for the masculine taste and a smart swinging lifestyle that hef came to embody. on "playboy's" 50th anniversary in 2003, he said.

is the bottom line they have got to do something. they're losing readers. >> reporter: when "playboy" removed nudity from its website last year, traffic soared from 4 million to 16 million unique users a month. the average age fell from 47 to 30. so the magazine will still show women in provocative poses but they will no longer be fully nude. and yes, "playboy" will still feature what men always said they really bought it for, the articles. anthony mason, cbs news, new york. and that's the "cbs overnight news" for this wednesday. for some of you, the news continues. for others, check back with us a little bit later for "the morning news" and "cbs this morning." from the broadcast center in new york city, i'm scott pelley. ♪

welcome to the "cbs overnight news." i'm michelle miller. the democratic presidential candidates squared off last night in las vegas. for the first of six primetime debates. it was bernie sanders' first real chance to challenge hillary clinton in person. they were joined on stage by former maryland governor martin o'malley, rhode island governor, and former u.s. senator james webb. here is some of what they had to say. >> do you want to shield gun come pacup paenz? >> of course not. this was a large bill. for example, do i think a gun shop in the state of vermont hat sells legally, a gun, to somebody, that somebody goes out

and does something crazy. that the gun shop owner should be held responsible. i don't. on the other hand where you have manufacturers and you have gun shops knowingly giving guns to criminals, or, aiding and abetting that, of course we should take action. >> secretary clinton, is bernie sanders tough enough on guns? >> no, not at all. i think we have to look at the fact that we lose 90 people a day from gun violence. this has gone on too long. it's the time the entire country stood up against the nra. the majority of our country -- supports background checks and even the majority of gun owners do. senator sanders did vote five times against the brady bill. since it was passed more than 2 million prohibited purchases have been prevented. he also did vote as he said for this immunity provision. i voted against it. i was in the senate at the same time i wasn't that complicated

to me. it was pretty straight forward to me. he was going to give immunity to the only industry in america. everybody else has to be accountable. but not the gun manufacturers. we need to stand up. and say, enough of that. we are not going to let it continue. >> we'll bring you all in on this. senator sander, you have to be able to respond. >> as a senator from a rural state. what i can tell secretary clinton that all the shouting in the world is not going to do what i would hope all of us want. that is keep guns out of the hand of people who should not have those guns. and end this horrible violence that we are seeing. i believe that there is a consensus in the country. a consensus said we need to strengthen and expand instant background checks, do away with the gun show loophole that we have to address the issue of mental health the we have to deal with the straw man purchasing issue. and that when we develop that consensus, we can finally,

finally do something to address the gun. >> governor chaff echtee what's greatest national security threat to the united states? >> nuclear iran the biggest threat, isil, climate change, makes cascading threats even worse. >> secretary clinton? >> i think it has to be continuing threat from the spread of nuclear weapons, nuclear materiel that can fall into the wrong hand. i know that terrorists are constantly seeking it. that's why we have to stay vigilant but also united around the world to prevent that. >> senator sanders? >> the scientific community is telling us if we do not address the global crisis of climate change. transfer away from fossil fuel to sustainable energy the planets we live and our grandchildren may not bow he habitable. >> our relationship with china. our greatest day-to-day threat

is cyberwarfare against the country. greatest military operational threat is resolving situations in the middle east. >> you served in vietnam. a marine. once a marine always a marine. a decorated war hero. became secretary of the navy. during the vietnam war the man next to you, senator sanders, applieds a for status as a c conscientious objector, can he serve as a credible commander-in-chief? >> everybody makes their decisions. when a time there is conscription. as long as they go through the legal process that our country requires, i respect that. and, it would be for the vote tires decide to, whether senator sanders or any one else should be president. i will say this, coming from the position that i, what i have come from, from a military family, with my brother, a marine, my son was a marine in iraq i served as a marine. five years in the pentagon, i am very comfortable that i am the most qualified standing up here today to be your

commander-in-chief. >> when i was a young man, i am not a young man today. when i was a young man, i strongly opposed the war in vietnam. not the brave men like jim who fought in the war, but the policy which got us involveden that war. that was my view then. i am not a pacifist. anderson, i supported the war in afghanistan. i supported president clinton's effort to deal with ethnic cleansing in kosovo, i support air strikes in syria, what the president is trying to do. yes, i happen to believe from the bottom of my heart that war should be the last resort that we have got to exercise di policemen see. i am prepared to take this country into war if that is necessary. >> sequester terry clinton are you going to be testifying before congress next week about your e-mails for eight months you haven't been able to put it behind you. dismissed it. joked about it. called it a mistake.

what does that say about your ability to handle crisis as president? >> i have taken responsibility. i said it was a mistake. what i did was allowed by the state department. it wasn't the best choice. i have been as transparent as i know to be. turning over 55,000 pages of my e-mails. asking that they be made public. and you are right. i am going to be testifying. i have been asking to testify for some time. and to do it in public which was not originally agreed to. >> isn't it a little hard for-up to call this just a partisan issue. there is an fbi investigation. president obama himself two days ago said this is a legitimate issue? >> i never said it wasn't legitimate. i said i have answered all the questions if i will certainly be doing so again before the committee. but i think it would be really unfair not to look at the entire fix ch picture. this committee spend $4.5 million of taxpayer money. they said they were trying to figure out what we could do

better to protect our diplomats so something like benghazi wouldn't happen again. >> let me say something that may not be great politics. but i think the secretary is right. and that is that the american people are sick and tired of hearing about your damne-mails. >> thank you. thank you. me too. me too. >> you know? the middle-class. anderson. let me say something about the media as well. i go around the country. talk to a whole lot of people. middle-class of this country is collapsing. we have 27 million people living in poch poverty. massive wealth. income inequality. trade policies have cost millions of decent jobs. the american people want to know whether we will have a democracy or an oligarchy as a result of citizens united. enough of the e-mails. let's talk about the real, use facing america. >> round two of the democratic

presidential debates is saturday november 14th in des moines, november 14th in des moines, iowa. enough pressure in here for ya? ugh. my sinuses are killing me. yeah...just wait 'til we hit ten thousand feet. i'm gonna take mucinex sinus-max. too late, we're about to take off. these dissolve fast. they're new liquid gels. and you're coming with me... wait, what?! you realize i have gold status? do i still get the miles? new mucinex sinus-max liquid gels. dissolves fast to unleash max strength medicine. start the relief. ditch the misery. let's end this. ♪ it's the final countdown! ♪ ♪ the final countdown! if you're the band europe, you love a final countdown. it's what you do. if you want to save

workers at blue bell ice cream factory in texas say management ignored their complaints bout conditions at the plant which was later linked to an outbreak of listeria. ten people got sec from the bacteria. three died. the company recalled 8 million gallons before all of this blue bell was the number three brand in the nation. sold in 23 states. jim axel rod has our investigation. in the early morning hours of august 29, a single truck left blue bell, marking the return of its ice cream. when the company recalled all its products in april, its loyal

customers sang their support. ♪ oh blue bell the best ice cream in the country. and parade for their return. and plastered the city with signs. >> well, god bless blue bell. a fantastic product. they have done a lot for the community. at the same time a bad side of blue bell. everything was overlooked. >> reporter: for the last seven months leading up to the shutdown. terry schultz operated this machine at the blue bell factory. >> a lot of time i walked in there. there was ice cream all over the floor. >> reporter: what do you mean ice cream all over the floor? >> some times the machines you would go haywire. the product would just continually run through the conveyor belt and drop right off on to the floor. >> reporter: shelts says stopping to clean up the ice cream would slow down production. so, workers left it pooling on this floor. creating an environment where bacteria could flourish. when he come planned to

supervisors he says nothing was done. >> the response i got at one point was is that all you are going to do is come in here and -- every afternoon. >> what do you think his message was? >> production is more important than cleanliness. >> all about the money. >> reporter: the five year blue bell employee operated a fruit feeder in a different part of the plant. he said he was told to pour ice cream and fruit juice that dripped off the machine, into barrels of ice cream mix to be used later. >> you would see oil on top from the fruit feeder liking that was still go right into the barrel. >> reporter: it would have been possible to have oil from the machine end up in some of the ice cream. >> yeah. >> reporter: bland says that practice stopped a year before the shutdown. but other problems persisted. listeria thrives in wet environments. and both schultz and bland told us water was everywhere. >> on the wall by the 3 gallon

machine. if it would rain real hard and water set on the roof, it would just, trickle down that wall. >> reporter: rain water from the roof. would get into the factory. >> yeah. it had couple times where it actually flooded area two. to where they had to cut the machines off because there was too much water over there. >> reporter: what bland and schultz told us they saw is consistent with fda findings. when the fd amount inspected blue bell's main plant here in brenham, texas, in march they found violations detailed in the report including condensation dripping into the ice cream. dirty equipment. and paint chipping from the ceiling directly above an ice cream mixer. in the years leading up to the outbreak, the state inspected the factory about every six weeks. and the army which had a 4.8 million contract with blue bell inspected four times a year.

none of their inspections revealed violations that stopped production. gerald bland questions the inspection process. >> we never, the whole time i was there had a sur vise inspection. as soon as army pulled up on the parking lot the phone call starts. every area knows right away what to give you about, 15, 20 minute window. >> reporter: the ice cream that sickened five people was made on this production line. blue bell shut it down in march after confirming it was contaminated with listeria. in other parts of the plant, production continued for weeks. >> nothing changed. the last two weeks that's when they would change. wash up procedures. and -- and they started retraining some of us. >> reporter: isn't that closing the barn door after the horse gets out. >> i think all the animals got out by the time they shut the door. >> a terribly sad day for all of us at the company. >> reporter: may 15, the ceo,

paul cruisy announced the first layoff in blue bell's history more than 1,400 employees including gerald bland and terry schultz. >> there was a lot of things that could have been done to prevent this. just no action was taken. it was kind of like -- i just feel sorry for the people that, that died and the people that got sick. >> reporter: blue bell told us pending litigation prevented them from addressing our report. in a statement to cbs news, the% wrote, we are committed to ensuring we are producing a safe product through our enhanced manufacturing pre seed jurz including increase focus on sanitation and cleaning. on going evaluation from microbiologists, voluntary agreements with state regulators and finally, a test and hold procedure. that means they can't distribute any product they produce until the test confirms it is safe. their flag ship plant in texas is still closed. we'll have part two of our

investigation into the deadly listeria contamination of blue bell ice cream right after this. i asked my dentist if an electric toothbrush was going to clean better than a manual? he said sure. but don't get just any one. get one inspired by dentists. with a round brush head. go pro with oral-b. oral-b's rounded brush head cups your teeth to break up plaque and rotates to sweep it away. and oral-b delivers a clinically proven superior clean versus sonicare diamondclean. my mouth feels super clean. oral-b know you're getting a superior clean. i'm never going back to a manual brush.
