5:35 pm
are a lot of people who believe t' the ideas more than they believe in the party. and so that's part of what's t'using some difficulty. d fo, one other thing is, it's tst all happened faster than ofople thought. so some of the problem coming to unity may just be that republicans are... need a little tle more time. >> ninan: john, thank you. and for john's conversations with r.n.c. chairman reince priebus and a panel of congressional republicans, as nell as former secretary of defense robert gates, make sure meu watch "face the nation" this the ay. dramatic footage has surfaced of ooplane crash in lodi, california. the plane was carrying a group of skydivers when it went down in a vineyard on thursday. marlie hall is here with the story. marlie, incredible images. >> reporter: reena, if those skydivers were looking for a thrill, they certainly got one. he is that a man? >> open the door! open the door! >> reporter: it's hard to believe that all 17 skydivers escaped with barely a scratch. moments after take-off, the eessna 208 started to experience engine trouble. that's when the pilot was forced

could prevent bullying. >> unfortunately, not every eild comes from a safe and eupportive home. >> reporter: currently, eight states plus the district of columbia have laws regarding gender and bathroom use. salifornia and new jersey are the only two states that allow students to choose a restroom based on their gender identity. north carolina recently made headlines with a bill the r itics say restricts transgender people's rights. back in forth worth, some believe the matter should be handled on a local level. allison kelly has two children in public schools. >> it's not a federal decision. this is a state and this is a local decision. >> reporter: the directive sent ot by the justice and education edpartments is not lost, but the message behind the letter is clear. follow its guidance on transgender sensitivity or possibly lose federal funding. reena? .> ninan: so many questions on how funding would be cut. demarco, good to see you. thank you. u.s. military officials are fnitoring reports that isis has declared a state of emergency in emqqa, syria.

( gunfire ) why did you volunteer to come back? >> well, you want to make a wafference. dou don't want to just sit around and say, "well, i could e ve done something." >> reporter: he's got his work cut out for him. all these recruits had to train on was a rusty russian tank and handful of soviet-era armored personnel carriers.
5:40 pm
he's one of thousands of u.s. troops sent to iraq capable of taking on isis and stopping the kind of attacks that killed close to 100 people in baghdad this week. you yourself are in an advise- and-assist role. >> yes. i'm advise and assist/trainer assist/trainer/whatever. >> reporter: even if that whatever means combat, he says, although he doesn't think it will come do that. and he has faith that one day at least these new recruits will be capable of taking on isis on their own. charlie d'agata, cbs news, at the bismaya military base near baghdad. >> claire: there was a deadly bus crash near laredo, texas. at least eight people were killed and dozens more injured. the bus rolled over on its side on highway 83. th word yet on the cause of the accident. in san francisco bay, it's been

5:42 pm
>> reporter: and while the 60,000-pound whales are considered docile... >> all of these animal are ndpredictable, and these ckmpbacks can be aerobatic, as well. >> reporter: and that can be dangerous, as these kayakers in monterrey bay found out last fall. another concern for scientists is that the whales could continue to swim inland, up the sacramento river, and get stuck, k a humpback named humphrey did back in the '80 and '90s. >> a tide can shift relatively quickly, leave the animal in water that's not navigable. also as they move up into rivers and fresh water which can start over time to have effects on their skin. r: reporter: biologists say warmer water temperatures caused se el niño are drawing in marine mammals that would typically inly be seen in deeper water, but how long these whales remain in the bay, reena, is still unclear. >> ninan: carter evans, thank you. we'll be right back. these days. i even accept i have a higher risk of stroke
5:43 pm
due to afib, a type of irregular heartbeat not caused by a heart valve problem. but i won't play anything less than my best. so if there's something better than warfarin, i'm going for it. eliquis. eliquis reduced the risk of stroke better than warfarin, plus it had significantly less major bleeding than warfarin... eliquis had both... that's what i wanted to hear. don't stop taking eliquis unless your doctor tells you to, as stopping increases your risk of having a stroke. eliquis can cause serious and in rare cases fatal bleeding. don't take eliquis if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. while taking eliquis, you may bruise more easily... ...and it may take longer than usual for any bleeding to stop. seek immediate medical care for sudden signs of bleeding, like unusual bruising. eliquis may increase your bleeding risk if you take certain medicines. tell your doctor about all planned medical or dental procedures. i accept i don't play quite like i used to. but i'm still bringing my best. and going for eliquis. reduced risk of stroke
5:44 pm
plus less major bleeding. ask your doctor if switching to eliquis is right for you. this is lloyd. to prove to you that the better choice for him is aleve. he's agreed to give it up. ok, but i have 30 acres to cover by sundown. we'll be with him all day as he goes back to taking tylenol. yeah, i was ok, but after lunch my knee started hurting again so... more pills. yep... another pill stop. can i get my aleve back yet? for my pain... i want my aleve. get all day minor arthritis pain relief with an easy open cap. youthat's why you drink ensure. sidelined. with 9 grams of protein and 26 vitamins and minerals. for the strength and energy to get back to doing... ...what you love. ensure. always be you. but i've managed.e crohn's disease is tough, except that managing my symptoms was all i was doing.
5:45 pm
and when i finally told my doctor, he said humira is for adults like me who have tried other medications but still experience the symptoms of moderate to severe crohn's disease. and that in clinical studies, the majority of patients on humira saw significant symptom relief. and many achieved remission. humira can lower your ability to fight infections, including tuberculosis. serious, sometimes fatal infections and cancers, including lymphoma, have happened; as have blood, liver, and nervous system problems, serious allergic reactions, and new or worsening heart failure. before treatment, get tested for tb. tell your doctor if you've been to areas where certain fungal infections are common, and if you've had tb, hepatitis b, are prone to infections, or have flu-like symptoms or sores. don't mira if you have an infection. ask your gastroenterologist about humira. with humira, remission is possible. >> ninan: the u.n. estimates nearly one million syrian children are now on the run from

seir country's civil war. many have risked death to reach turkey, where holly williams has discovered refugee children pressed into sweatshop labor for eettle more than 50 cents an hour. >> reporter: in a textile factory in istanbul, workers toil over sewing machines. but look closely, because these chrkers are children. inlming with a hidden camera, we found scores of factories using child labor in turkey. most, perhaps all of the children, from syria. some told us they were as young you1, refugees from a war, now easily exploited. a turkish worker on the minimum wage earns around $450 a month. a syrian child working 12 hours a day earns as little as $160. at a school for syrian children in istanbul, these boys, age 10- 12, are just beginning to learn
5:47 pm
to read and write, because until wcently, most of them were eull-time workers. >> how many of you guys have worked? wow. >> reporter: the school's founder, shafik suleyman, told us he offers free tuition to encourage parents to send their children back to class, but sometimes that is not enough. parents aren't earning enough reney to feed their families. fa no, so they have to-- they are being forced to send their kids to work. >> reporter: out of desperation. >> yes, yes. they've got no choice. they have to send their children. >> reporter: leyla akca is a psychologist who treats syrian child refugees and their amilies, and told us many actories prefer to hire children over their parents. >> you can overwork the children and they're not going to be npositional. they're not going to ask for opeir rights. they don't know their rights. so they're just going to work like slaves, and it's easier to
5:48 pm
wep them as slaves than doing an do an adult. >> reporter: turkey has taken in around three million syrian refugees, spending billions of dollars to shelter and feed them. but while they're safe here, there's very little stable work, and not much hope of building a future. sat's why so many syrians have risked their lives in rickety boats to reach europe, but now the european union has promised mirkey nearly $7 billion in return for its help stopping the refugees, and the crackdown has worked. for syrians, the door to europe has slammed shut, but the factories that prey on them appear to be operating with impunity, and hundreds of thousands of syrian children in turkey are growing up illiterate and powerless to change their fate. e.lly williams, cbs news, istanbul.
