pools. scott, they're hoping to do that by thursday of this week and open up the roads. >> thank you very much. well, open skies are becoming a problem, too. today the transportation department said it will require most owners of recreational drones to register. >> reporter: the number of drone complaints to the faa has surged from 238 for all of 2014 to 969 and counting so far this year. one of the biggest challenges is finding the operator, something this registry aims to make easier. transportation secretary anthony fox. how do you plan to enforce this particularly with people who already own drones? what's their incentive to
3:13 am
register them? >> we would expect retroactive registration. there may be a grace period. the task force will have to come up with those solutions. >> reporter: how are you going to enforce that? will you send the drone police after people? >> when you enter the national airspace, it's a very serious matter. this isn't riding your atv on your own property. >> reporter: a new task force will have a month. >> we can't vilify this technology. it's incredible. it will be a game changer in terms of the economy, in terms of entertainment. >> reporter: michael droeback runs it. can it be done in a month? >> the short time line and what it will mean for industry, of course. >> reporter: secretary fox gave very few specifics about the registry -- about what the registry would look like. scott, no information on what information will be required or
3:14 am
who will have access to it. >> kris van cleave in washington, thanks very much. tonight israel is building walls to stop gun and knife attacks by palestinians. there have been weeks of renewed violence. barry peterson is there. >> reporter: it was murder at random last night at a bus station. the attacker and an israeli soldier were killed as was an innocent african immigrant in israel looking for work. soldiers mistook him for an attacker and shot him. then he was beaten by israelis who thought he was a terrorist. he later died at a hospital. the palestinians are calling this their days of rage. three weeks of ongoing knife and gun attacks like this one in a tel aviv suburb last week. the attackers can move with ease since palestinian and israeli areas are often side-by-side. this balcony overlooks a palestinian neighborhood.
3:15 am
being so close sometimes makes her home a target. israeli police have just divided the two areas with concrete barriers, but that hasn't calmed her fraying nerves. >> we live with a feeling any moment something can happen. >> reporter: the same area, palestinian side. where a retired school administrator believes the palestinian attackers are lone wolves. >> i don't believe that they have a leader for this. i think this is something individual. >> reporter: no one knows exactly what triggered the violence. scott, it may have been about the mosque inside the old city of jerusalem and unfounded rumors the israelis would allow more access to the jews and restrict how muslims could use it. >> barry petersen in the holy land for us tonight. barry, thank you. two more american children were killed by gunfire over the
3:16 am
weekend. in chicago 3-year-old ian santiago was shot accidentally by his 6-year-old brother with a gun found on top of a refrigerator. the boy's father is charged with felony child endangerment. and in hempstead, new york, 12-year-old daja joyner was hit in the head by a stray bullet fired from outside her home. police are investigating whether the gunfire was gang related. what to do about gun violence is the subject of our new series called "voices against violence." we're hearing from all sides of the issue. a reporter from wdbj, our cbs station in roanoke virginia, was murdered alongside photographer adam ward. >> i'm andy parker. my daughter alison was a journalist murdered on live television and that's why i've joined this effort to change
3:17 am
things in this country because we are at war. we have domestic terrorism and through our grief we take action. and the first thing i would do would be to impress upon the people that are pro-gun that we're not trying to take their guns away. we're not trying to repeal the second amendment. we can't do that. the nra pumps millions and millions of dollars into campaigns, and it's all coming from gun manufacturers with the extreme portions and factions of the nra and the gun lobby, there is no middle ground. i'm going to be going out with the governor to call out these cowards that are blocking legislation to do sensible gun legislation. if we are successful, and i
3:18 am
think we will be, virginia will be the model for 2016 for the rest of the country and they can look to this state to see change coming. >> the view of andy parker, the father of reporter alison parker. we have important news for women tonight. is any amount of alcohol safe when pregnant? and, it's cats versus dogs in a new poll. the "cbs overnight news" will be right back.
3:21 am
we know that alcohol during pregnancy can harm the fetus, but is any amount safe? john? >> no amount of alcohol intake should be considered safe. the risk increases as alcohol consumption increases, but even one drink a day has been linked to delayed growth. even though these recommendations have been in place for more than 30 years, roughly 10% of women still drink during pregnancy and 3% binge. that's four or more drinks at once. the effect? a recent study of first graders found 2.5% to 5% had evidence of fetal spectrum alcohol disorder. >> if you want to have a glass
3:22 am
of wine, have one glass of wine. is that not safe? >> there's no confirmed consensus about the dangers of an occasional drink of alcohol during pregnancy. i spoke to the lead author and she said, look, we know for a fact that alcohol can have a toxic effect on the developing fetus. why take a chance? >> jon, thanks very much. the reviews are in, but can you trust them? that's next.

doubled today. amazon thinks it knows a fake when it sees one. it is suing more than 1,000 people, accusing them of making money by giving rave reviews online about products that they've never tried. amazon says it undermines trust. and new yorkers are apparently genuinely fond of their dogs. a survey out today by siena college finds dog people outnumber cat people more than 3 to 1. 42% of those who have a dog or a cat say they have cooked special meals for them. 44% have celebrated their birthday. and 24% have dressed them up in a costume. in london, they are working around the clock to save time. that story in just a few minutes. ,,
3:27 am
we end tonight in london, where a landmark has fallen on hard times, and in the race to save it, every second counts. here's mark phillips. [ tolling bell ] >> reporter: the world's most famous clock strikes 6:00, or does it? big ben's been striking the hour for 156 years. [ bell tolls ] but the thing's been slipping. it was out a whole six seconds last summer. the guys who maintain it, like ian westworth, have been struggling to keep big ben on time, even using pennies as weights. >> by putting on or taking off a penny on the pendulum like this, you speed up or slow down the
3:28 am
clock by two-fifths of a second in 24 hours. >> reporter: but now big ben is on borrowed time, so worn out it may have to be stopped and completely overhauled. before the 14-foot-long, 600-pound minute hands fall off because the bearings are shot. it would be like stopping the heartbeat of london, says newspaper columnist clinton letts. >> this is the marrow in our bones, this old clock. >> one clock. >> one clock. and, you know, the thought of it not being there or one hand flying off or, heaven forbid, the thing going digital is just too gruesome to consider. >> reporter: it would be like losing yet another old symbol of london. the much loved hop on, hop off buses are gone to be replaced by these unloved models. and london's famous black cabs are now threatened by uber. if big ben were to go --
3:29 am
>> it would be a calamity, a catastrophe, a disaster. for that reason i suspect they will find a way around this. >> reporter: but they're running out of time. mark phillips, cbs news, london. and that's the "cbs overnight news." check back for "the morning news" and "cbs this morning." from new york city, i'm scott pelle.
3:30 am
>> announcer: this is the cbs "overnight news." welcome to "overnight news." i'm jericka duncan. it's being called the real life see the question to the movie "goodfellas." and it's 37 years in the making. an aging mobster with a rap sheet a mile long is being accused of taking part in a heist at kennedy airport. lawyers for vincent asaro admit he's no angel but claim the whole case is based on elder ly rats and snitches and all of whom either have a grudge or are trying to get out of jail. >> reporter: it was december of 1978 when masked gunmen stole jewelry from lufthansa at jfk
3:31 am
airport. today the first alleged organized crime associate goes on trial in a case that inspired a film classic. >> and these are the guys jimmy put together for the biggest heist in american history. the lufthansa heist. >> reporter: martin scorcese's drama "goodfellas" recounts the violent aftermath. robert de niro played jimmy the jett. he was the suspected ringleader of the crime, a 64-minute caper in which six armed robbers broke into the lufthansa facility and made off with $6 million in cash and jewelry. how did they force him to open the room? >> by holding a gun to the head of the man who had the key. >> reporter: one of the key figures is now 80-year-old vincent asaro, they allege he
3:32 am
received $750,000 as his cut of the proceeds. >> he didn't do it. had nothing to do with it. all the people who did it were murdered by jimmy burke, so i read. so the fact my client didn't get murdered would suggest he didn't have anything to do with it. >> reporter: prosecutors are expected to introduce wiretaps and testimony from some of those close to him expected to include asaro's cousin and his former bonanno family boss. >> i think the fear from the mob has totally abated. it's gone. >> reporter: >> reporter: former mobster sal polesi broke the code himself when he testified against the late mob boss john gotti. he claims he was asked to take part in the lufthansa heist but turned it down. he says no matter what happens to asaro one mystery remains. >> where is the money? >> just a little taste.
3:33 am
>> no one has ever managed to find any of the money. remember there was a few families involved and, yes, some of that money went to some of the participants, but a lot of those guys were killed. were they killed before they got the money? that i can't say. >> reporter: now the judge in this case has ruled prosecutors cannot reference the brutal killing depicted in the movie because asaro is not charged with those killings. he does face one murder charge for an unrelated murder in 1969 of another law enforcement informant. the fastest ocean liner ever built is now rotting away at a dock in philadelphia. the "uss united states" made history in the 1950s, but if preservationists don't come one millions of dollars by the end of the month the ship is headed to the scrap yard. edward lawrence has the story. for those who sailed on her, it will be a day long remembered. >> reporter: when she left port on july 3rd, 1952, the "ss
3:34 am
united states" was considered the fastest and most luxurious ocean liner in the world. its maiden voyage across the atlantic took three days, ten hours, and 42 minutes, a record that still stands today. it was so fast, the ship's propellers were a cold war secret. the "ss united states" would become a symbol of pride, patriotism and power. but after just 17 years on the open water, the ship would be retired never to sail again. how much does it cost to keep it afloat here? >> the costs are about $60,000 each month. >> reporter: it's been docked here on the delaware river in philadelphia for the past 18 years and the conservancy that owns it can't afford to keep it any longer. susan gibbs is the director. >> it represents the last best most iconic achievement in ship building. it's an engineering marvel.
3:35 am
it's a work of art and it's our history, our shared history of the nation. it would be as if the statue of liberty was chopped off at her knees. >> reporter: how critical is this point in time? >> we are at the 11th hour. we have never been closer to saving the ship, and we have never been closer to losing it. >> reporter: gibbs has more than a vested interest. this ship is in her heritage. her grandfather, william francis gibbs, built the "ss united states." during world war ii three-quarters of u.s. naval vessels built were designed by gibbs' firm. as the war ended, he went back to work on the ship he loved more than anything. his biographer, steven ujifusa, spoke to "sunday morning" back in 2013. >> he was kind of like steve jobs in that he knew a lot of engineering but he was very much a visionary.
3:36 am
imagine taking a structure the size of the chrysler building, turning it on its side, and pushing it through the atlantic at 44 miles per hour. that's a heck of a lot of engineering. and on top of that make it the most beautiful ship in the world. >> reporter: throughout the 1950s it was traveled by celebrities and royalties. everyone from john wayne and judy garland to the duke and duchess of windsor. and it played a starring role in films like 1953's "gentlemen prefer blondes," alongside jane russell and marilyn monroe. that same year cbs's walter cronkite was a passenger on the "uss united states" as he traveled to london to cover the coronation of queen elizabeth. >> to look at her just could thrill you with pride and wonder. she just was a magnificent looking boat. >> there were more people on this ship than lived in the town that i grew up in. >> reporter: joe roda was an employee on the ship. his responsibilities included
3:37 am
delivering telegrams to harry truman, and he shot this video of the president getting off the boat in france. what was it like being onboard? >> it was special. i think that's the only word i could use. >> reporter: anybody who made a contribution to this world traveled onboard this ship. but cruise ships suffered as jet planes became more popular in the 1960s. in 1967 william francis gibbs died. two years before his masterpiece retired from service. what has happened to the ship since it was retired? >> it was withdrawn from service in 1969. a series of plans were advanced and all failed. and so when the conservancy purchased the vessel in 2011, the first time the preservation organization had stepped up to the plate. >> reporter: for four years susan gibbs has been trying to get financing for renovations and a new home that could cost up to $300 million. ideas ranging from a hotel to a
