today the family of sandra bland reached a $1.9 million settlement in a wrongful death lawsuit. it was in july of last year that bland died in a texas jail cell after a minor traffic violation. omar villafranca is at the waller county jail. >> reporter: it started like a routine traffic stop when a texas state trooper pulled over sandra bland for failing to signal a lane change in july of last year. >> i said get out of the car!

>> reporter: but it quickly escalated. >> and then you -- >> i will light you up! get out! >> wow. >> reporter: 28-year-old bland was later taken to the waller county jail. and three days later she was found hanging in her jail cell. >> no justice! >> no peace! >> reporter: activists questioned her death and why she was even arrested. no one was charged in bland's death. but trooper brian encinia was fired for violating department procedures, which require officers to be courteous and patient. an autopsy found that bland had hanged herself with a trash bag in her jail cell, raising questions about how inmates are monitored. a year later bland's mother, geneva reed-veal, welcomes the settlement. >> sandy's death meant something. and literally, across the country she is known now. so she's got a legacy. >> reporter: in addition to the payout to the bland family, waller county agreed to change procedures at the jail, including improved electronic monitoring of inmates in their

cells, a nurse or emergency medical technician must be on duty during all shifts, and pledging to seek state help to improve jail functions. any legislation passed will be named in honor of bland. >> these are things that needed to be in place prior to her death, but for now i think that it's important that no other family has to go through this type of pain. >> reporter: the attorney for waller county says the deal has not been finalized. scott, he also released a statement saying they vigorously deny any fault or wrongdoing. >> omar villafranca. omar, thank you. in syria tonight the cease-fire is holding by and large, but desperately needed aid has still not arrived in aleppo, once syria's largest city. elizabeth palmer is there. >> reporter: oh, yeah. youseff ibrahim is showing me around what was his neighborhood. six weeks ago syrian soldiers and russian bombers in a

ferocious battle took it back from rebel fighters. and this is what's left. in the background as we spoke, the sounds of war. youseff, i just heard a big boom there. what was that? "oh, it's coming from over there," he told me. but isn't there supposed to be a cease-fire? "er, it's those gunmen from al-nusra, one of the islamist militias," he said. "last night the shelling was nonstop." but with nowhere to go youseff and his family have moved back in. and they're now hoping like hundreds of thousands of others for united nations aid. but if remains so far stalled in turkey. until under a u.s.-russian proposal all armed groups and the syrian army have withdrawn from the castello road, the main highway into northern aleppo, and the russian military has secured it. i'm standing on a section of the castello road.

under the terms of the proposal, syrian soldiers like the ones at the checkpoint behind me would be pulled out and the u.n. trucks would be not only guaranteed safe passage but also no one would be able to stop them until they reached their destination. but a blame game has stalled the whole process. the russians point the finger at u.s.-backed rebel groups, who they say haven't pulled back. meanwhile, an exhausted and battered population has no option but to wait. to ward off any attempt by the assad government to channel more aid into the areas it controls, the u.n. has made it clear that the trucks will be sealed and only u.n. officials, scott, will decide who gets the contents. >> liz palmer inside syria tonight. liz, thank you. coming up, want to make your future more beautiful? now there's simply ageless liquid makeup it helps you look younger in three ways. so in the future when you're older you look younger. simply ageless from olay...

>> starting now you will treat me and all other marines with the highest respect. >> reporter: every class of marine recruits gets a speech like this from their drill instructor. >> physical or verbal abuse by any marine or recruit will not be tolerated! >> reporter: according to marine corps investigators, raheel siddiqui, a 20-year-old pakistani american, committed suicide last march by throwing himself down a stairwell after being slapped by a drill sergeant. the investigation said that assault was likely the impetus for siddiqui's jumping from the building. it also found clear indicators that siddiqui should have been disqualified from training because he had threatened to commit suicide five days earlier. >> the family does not believe that their son, a patriotic young man, an intelligent young man, would take his own life. to them it makes no sense. >> reporter: family attorney shiraz khan says there isn't enough evidence to back up the

marine corps's claim. >> when there's clear findings of hazing, maltreatment, and abuse, how they can still say this was a suicide. >> reporter: the same drill sergeant who allegedly assaulted siddiqui was already under investigation for an earlier incident in which he allegedly ordered another muslim recruit into an industrial clothes dryer. the recruit told investigators two drill sergeants accused him of being a terrorist and demanded to know if he was part of 9/11. when the recruit denied he was working for a terrorist organization, the drill sergeants closed the dryer and ran it for about 30 seconds. they repeated that at least two more times, burning the recruit on his neck and shoulders. the recruit testified he could smell alcohol on the drill sergeants' breath. >> my intuition said that something was wrong. >> reporter: congresswoman debbie dingell has been looking into the circumstances surrounding private siddiqui's death. she visited parris island last weekend. >> i know this young muslim from my district should be with us

today. people have to be tough in the military. but there's a line. you've crossed it when you are putting someone in a clothes dryer. >> reporter: the investigation found multiple derelictions of duty by officers and sergeants in charge of training recruits at parris island. 20 marines have been singled out for possible disciplinary action including criminal charges. at least seven children have been hospitalized and hundreds more could be in danger of a serious bacterial infection linked to a california dental clinic. john blackstone has the story from anaheim. >> reporter: doctors are closely monitoring 3-year-old jibran and treating him with i.v. antibiotics after they operated to remove an abscess caused by a suspected dangerous bacterial infection. family members say they're lucky his teacher noticed his face was swollen. >> all just from going to the dentist. >> yes. thinking everything's going to go by well, you know, you're going to go in and come out. but it didn't happen like that.

now he has an infection. >> reporter: his parents had taken him to the children's dental group in anaheim in may for a common procedure called a popotomy, also known az baby root canal. health officials say he's one of more than half a dozen children who had the procedure at the same clinic, then developed symptoms of a serious and potentially life-threatening infection. >> it's very resistant to treatment. it needs to be taken care of quickly. >> reporter: dr. eric handler is public health officer with the orange county health care agency investigating the clinic. >> i have not seen these types of cases in the ten years that i've been here. once we were notified we jumped on it very quickly and notified the cdc. >> reporter: the clinic has agreed to stop performing the procedure for now. >> we are doing everything, whether it's sterilization or anything else that relates to taking care of the patients, we are on it. >> reporter: because the bacteria can progress slowly, health officials say they're contacting 500 children who had the procedure as far back as may. >> finding out that there's

other patients from the same dentist group that also are in there for the same reason, it makes your heart stop a little. like what's going on? >> reporter: all seven children who were hospitalized developed abscesses which can take up to six months to appear. health officials are working to locate the source of the bacteria, which they believe was in water that was used in equipment used during the procedure. they should have results of that next week. russia's sports minister insists moscow had nothing to do with the release of more athletes' medical records stolen from the world anti-doping agency. this time the hackers targeted a wimbledon champion, two tour de france winners, a gold medalist and 21 others. all were allowed to use drugs that would otherwise be banned such as anti-inflammatories and treatments for allergies and asthma. the battle to protect personal data is growing more intense. michelle miller reports. >> reporter: servers like these often contain account numbers, medical records, and other

sensitive information that is collected by businesses and government agencies. that makes them prime targets for hackers. one security expert told us that cybercrime is now more lucrative than the illicit drug trade. >> the old medal of trying to rely on anti-virus and firewalls, the bad guys are running circles around that stuff. >> reporter: dan larsen is in a race to outsmart hackers. >> the total amount of cyberthreat risk, it's like projected to be above 10 trillion in the next couple years. >> reporter: 10 trillion? >> yeah. >> reporter: larsen is technical director at crowd strike. >> crowd strike falcon deploys in seconds. >> reporter: his company investigated the attack on the dnc's network and found a sophisticated code they believe points to russian intelligence agencies because of how the code was behaving. >> they did a lot of checking to see if a security product was checking it. >> they were always looking over

their shoulder. >> they were always looking over their shoulder. time to develop a little piece of code like that, it had to be a well-funded professional full-time hacking organization. >> reporter: larsen said those hackers, known as fancy bear and cozy bear, used a classic technique, spearfishing to gain access to dnc computers. >> six seconds, he's in. >> yep. that's all it takes. >> reporter: he showed us how it worked. on a computer under attack from an actual hacker. a victim receives an e-mail that looks legitimate but actually contains links to a website designed to steal passwords and other important data. >> so he's done. mission accomplished. >> in three minutes. under three minutes. >> yes. exactly. >> reporter: larsen says security firms are now using advanced algorithms and profiling to keep one hackers who were constantly coming up with new tricks. when major corporations and government agencies are attacked, personal information on millions of americans can be compromised. >> i think it's a bit of a

most people know that chimpanzees and humans are close cousins sharing more than 98% of the same dna. but humans have another primate cousin just as close. they're called bonobos and they couldn't be more different than chimps. bon oebos live in female dominated groups and they're endangered. found only in the democratic republic of congo. anderson cooper paid a visit to central africa to get their story for "60 minutes." >> reporter: the world's only sanctuary for bonobos is in kinshasa. it's called yola ba bonobo. bonobo pairdays. for those endangered apes, it's exactly what it is.

♪ this refuge was created by conservationist claudine andre. she's belgian-born but has lived in congo most of herr life. if you ask her why she cares so much about bonobos, sheil she'll tell you just look into their eyes. >> the way they look in your eyes, deeply, it's just like they look in your soul. >> in your soul. >> yeah. >> and it's rare that most primates don't maintain eye contact like that. >> yeah. because don't try to do this with gorilla, you know. >> right. it's a threaten gesture if you do it with a gorilla. but bonobos look right at you. >> yeah. >> reporter: bonobos may have a brain that's a third of the size of ours, but they're remarkably intelligent. those high-pitched screeches are a sophisticated form of communication, and their gestures are unmistakable. like chimpanzees bonobos use

tools in a wide variety of ways and are capable of abstract problem solving. >> she has a baby. so she cannot go deeply. >> so she's breaking the stick actually. >> yeah. she showed the stick it's too short. >> okay. so she got a longer stick. that's amazing. so she's using the stick to see how deep the water is. >> yeah. >> reporter: bonobos are unique among great apes because they're not dominated by males. and according to brian hare, a duke university evolutionary anthropologist who studies them at lola, it's the females who run the show. >> here if you try to be an alpha male you will be as the congolese say, corrected by the females. >> not just by one female but by sort of an alliance of females. >> that's right. bono beaus really violate a rule of nature, which is normally if you're bigger you're going to be dominant. but here females are actually smaller but they're still not dominated by males because they work together.

>> reporter: what's more, bon o bonobos have never been observed to kill each other. the same can't be said of chimpanzees or of humans for that matter. >> bonobos on the other hand, they don't really have that darker side. so that's how they can help us-s how could it be that a species that has a brain a third of the size of ours can do something that with all our technological prowess we can't accomplish, which is to not kill each other. >> reporter: the answer might be found in bonobos' favorite pastime. these apes have more sex more often, in more ways than any other primate on the planet. their sexual contact is so frequent brian hare refers to it as the bonobo handshake. >> it's not that they want to procreate and have a kid. it's not even that they found each other attractive. it's just -- >> no. it's a negotiation. >> reporter: and it's hardly surprising that many of these negotiations take place over food. chimpanzees will fight each other over food. >> that's right. >> bonobos won't -- >> that's right. basically chimpanzees get primed for competition, testosterone

increases. bonobos, they get stressed out. and if they feel like they're not going to be able to share they get really anxious and that drives them to want to be reassured and they then happen to have a bonobo handshake to feel better. >> males will do that with females, males will do it with males, females with females. >> any combination. any age. >> reporter: it's an irony that this peace-loving primate is being hunted to extinction. though it's illegal to kill or capture bonobos in congo, that hasn't slowed their rapid decline. forest animals are sold in bustling bush meat markets for food. the largest in congo's capital kinshasa, you can buy monkeys, porcupines, even alligators, dead or alive. bonobos aren't openly sold here anymore. but you can still buy them in many parts of congo. their orphan babies often end up in the only place that can care for them.

lola yabonobo. the babies arrive traumatized, often injured. each is assigned a surrogate human mother, and their job is to raise the babies as their own, showering them with the love and attention the orphan apes so desperately need. it's incredible to see them up close like this. i mean, they're so -- >> human. >> yeah. >> you know, i say all the time that for sure they are great apes. they are not us. and we are not them. but we have a line in the middle of the two worlds that we cross all the time. >> reporter: baby bon beobos ar playful as any human toddler, and just as curious.

suzie quatroendo would know. she's in charge of their welfare at lola and oversees their rehabilitation. >> you have a child of your own. >> yes. >> how are they different? >> i can say there's no different. >> i mean, you really have to be a mother to -- >> yes. and most of time you need experienced mother. so they give a lot of affection and this is the only way to save them. >> that's what saves these babies. >> yes. and make them in life. >> they need love. >> yeah. absolutely. without that they die. >> suzie decided to study bonobos because she felt they could teach us a lot about human evolution. after five years at lola she realized that their behavior is closer to ours than she'd ever imagined. is it hard not to think of them as human? >> yes. yes. because we share most of time, we share time with them. >> you spend all day with them. >> all day. >> reporter: and at the end of that day suzie sees to it the babies are tucked into their

hammocks for the night. at 6:00 p.m. it's lights out. >> do you read them a story? >> no. they don't need because they're tired. they spend all the time jumping and playing so much as now. >> they're exhausted. >> they're very exhausted. >> reporter: by age 35 t5 the orphaned apes move from the nursery to the kindergarten where their peers teach them something their human mothers never could. they teach introducing new k-y touch gel crème. for massage and intimacy. every touch, gently intensified. a little touch is all it takes. k-y touch. >> i'm alex trebek. if you're age 50 to 85, this is an important message. so please, write down the number on your screen. the lock i want to talk to you about isn't the one on your door. it's a rate lock for your life insurance that guarantees your rate
