3:04 am
police department to release footage of the incident. on saturday it did. the police chief says officers ordered scott out of his vehicle when they saw him with marijuana and a firearm. in dash camera footage scott is seen exiting his vehicle and slowly backing away. officers surrounding him shout "drop the weapon." then gunshots.

3:05 am
create in anyone's mind absolute certainty as to what this case represents and what the outcome should be. >> reporter: scott's family says they have more questions. attorney justin bamburg. >> what we do know is that the moment mr. scott is shot it appears as though he's not aggressively moving towards law enforcement, he's actually doing the opposite. he's passively stepping back. >> reporter: protesters here have pledged to continue their demonstrations. the state of emergency remains in effect, as does the mid-night curfew. rena? >> errol barnett in north carolina. thank you, errol. with the election six weeks away, a "washington poet"/abc news poll out today has hillary clinton and donald trump virtually tied. 46% to 44% among likely voters. a new cbs poll shows clinton holding her lead in virginia and colorado, two key battleground states. our poll shows donald trump leading in missouri, a state
3:06 am
which has voted republican in recent presidential elections. the potential game changer could be the first head-to-head debate monday night. here's paula reed. >> he's like the babe ruth of debating. he really shows up and swings and does a great job. >> reporter: trump's campaign manager isn't the only one comparing the debate to a sporting event. it is expected to be the most watched presidential debate in tv history. donald trump and hillary clinton's running mates say the first face-to-face showdown will be an opportunity for the candidates to showcase their strengths. >> hillary has been very specific about policy plans. we have a book out describing them. donald trump less so. but tomorrow is an opportunity to see whether donald will be specific about what he proposes to do. >> he's going to focus in this deba debate tomorrow night as he has throughout the election on the issues the american people care about. >> this week the campaign's engaged in a twitter spat over the guest list. billionaire mark cuban a frequent trump cuban tweeted "just got a front row seat to watch hillary clinton overwhelm donald trump."
3:07 am
trump shot back, "if dopey mark cuban of failed benefactor fame wants to sit in the front row, perhaps i will put gennifer flowers." but today the trump campaign backed away from the invite. >> she has not been invited by the campaign. >> and i can't believe how easily baited the clinton campaign was. >> reporter: both candidates took a break from debate preparations to meet with israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu during his visit to new york. >> paula reed with our debate preview. thanks, paula. well, now with a closer look at our new cbs news/battleground tracker poll here's elections director anthony salvanto in washington. >> clinton's once big lead has become a narrower lead nationally and in some key states heading into the debate. the reason we see echoes, some of what we've already seen in recent weeks, and that is lower excitement among her voters. but the polling shows the balance that donald trump has to strike too. like clinton he's described by many voters as risky, but he is also seen as able to bring the change that so many voters want.
3:10 am
in syria there's little hope a broken cease-fire will be revived. since late last week russian warplanes and troops have been hammering syria's largest city, aleppo. elizabeth palmer was in aleppo when the attacks resumed. >> reporter: at the start of the week we were watching a student party from a rooftop, when the war reignited. those are shells falling on rebel-held aleppo, just after the syrian army declared the ce cease-fire was over. soon the warplanes were up, too, bombing. the number of dead and wounded, which had fallen to almost zero, rocketed up. the front line of this civil war runs right through the center of aleppo. armed opposition fighters control this side, and syrian
3:11 am
regime forces and their allies are here. 13-year-old aya lives on the very edge of the government side. this curtain here, what's that for? >> translator: snipers. >> reporter: the snipers, just a few hundred yards away, are opposition fighters who over the past four years have aimed their weapons at syrian army positions deep in this neighborhood. did you lose some friends in this war? "yes, i've lost many," she says. "some were killed by mortars or snipers. some just left the country." many of those who didn't make a run for it are now living in the ruins of war in desperate need. the cease-fire was supposed to let humanitarian aid reach them. but the main delivery route into aleppo has been a battleground for months. to let the aid flow all sides, including the syrian army, were supposed to pull back. and it never did. because the negotiations to
3:12 am
secure the road failed. in a war this savage it's hard to sort fact from fiction. and it got even harder this week when a u.s. airstrike hit syrian soldiers. by mistake, said the pentagon. a few days later a red crescent aid convoy was attacked. >> you see? pampers as aid from the u.n. >> reporter: the u.s. says early indications showed the russians were responsible, something moscow furiously denied. but public opinion in this country is shaped by syrian state media. and the villain on its airwaves is always the united states. syrians also believe that america can make a big difference to the outcome of this war. and that the u.s. has a responsibility to use its diplomatic muscle and its power to help bring peace. elizabeth palmer, cbs news,

3:18 am
united states. it will be holiday for russia. >> reporter: the ultra nationalist leader is one of trump's most vocal supporters in russia. even his opinion of hillary clinton matches the more radical fringe of trump supporters. >> madam clinton has all signs of parkinson. parkinson. it's a very bad illness. >> reporter: trump has lavished praise on the russian leader and said he'd cut back on u.s. involvement in nato. putin has made plain he'd prefer a trump white house. but russia's meddling in the american election is more than just talk. russia is accused of hacking the democratic party's server. >> are you going to be watching the presidential debate next week? >> of course. >> reporter: if you want to know what putin is thinking, you talk to this man. sergei markoff. his political think tank has a direct line to the kremlin, which sort of denies the hacking allegations.
3:19 am
>> the word of central intelligence agency of united states over this issue means no, zero. nothing. they lied. just forget about them. >> reporter: putin has said hacking the dnc was a good thing. >> it appears that he's condoning the hacking. >> yeah. it's exactly -- i agree. hackers attacks about politicians, very good. >> what if his own united russia party had been hacked into? how would he react then? >> negatively. because it's his party. >> reporter: during the elections here opponents of president putin were banned from appearing on state-controlled television. but images of donald trump and the american elections have been getting plenty of air time. charlie d'agata, cbs news, moscow. up next, a world land speed record for an electric car. battery not included.

3:23 am
22 years on sunday morning. i have to ask, what are you going to do next sunday? >> i'll probably be writing a radio show for monday. >> well, we'll still see him on the radio, as he says. charles osgood received a warm and a wonderful send-off this morning as he put a bowtie on his run as host of "cbs sunday morning." charlie also passed the torch to his successor. >> sunday morning has been without a doubt the most satisfying 22 years of my life in broadcasting.
3:24 am
right now i'm proud to tell you that my successor will be someone we all know and think the world of. jane pauley, congratulations and welcome. >> thank you so much, charlie. i am honored beyond words to follow in your footsteps. but enough about me. i have news about your bowtie. the bowtie you are wearing right now is bound for the smithsonian's national museum of american history in washington, where it will join the original stopwatch of our sister broadcast "60 minutes" as part of its permanent collection, proof as if anyone needed it that you have made broadcast history. congratulations. and please don't be a stranger. >> i promise. >> and a big congratulations to both charles and jane. when we return, the final home game for another broadcasting legend. dodgers announcer vin scully.
3:27 am
finally tonight, in 1950 around the time charles osgood started classes at fordham university in the box a recent fordham graduate named vin scully was starting his broadcasting career with the brooklyn dodgers.scully is signg off as the los angeles dodgers' beloved announcer. here's mireillea villareal. >> it's time for dodger baseball. >> reporter: vin scully's voice is the soundtrack of so many historic moments. he was there in 1974 when hank aaron broke babe ruth's home run record. >> a black man is getting a standing ovation in the deep south. >> reporter: he painted a picture of the game the way shakespeare would right a play. his 1988 world series kirk
3:28 am
gibson call one of the most memorable. >> and the game is going on and going on. and then out of the corner of my eye i said -- >> and look who's coming up. >> and here he comes, hobbling. >> he is gone! in a year that has been so improbable, the impossible has happened. >> reporter: it was the way he guided listeners through each game that won over generations of baseball fans. for at least nine innings his words transported them from their homes and cars into the dugout or onto the pitcher's mound. for the past 67 years, from brooklyn to los angeles. >> go dodgers. >> reporter: this weekend fans filed into dodger stadium to honor him. angel rodriguez is a walking tribute. >> he's like family. there's nobody here that has not listened to vin. >> reporter: on vin scully appreciation day it was actually vin that was pitching out this gift. 50,000 letters went out to baseball fans thanking them for six decades of love and
3:29 am
listening. dennis murphy drove five hours from san francisco to share this moment with his daughter. what is it about him that makes him the best? >> you know, i think it's just the way he brings the game to life. the experience of the game of baseball. and just the calm nature of his voice. >> reporter: in one week scully will call his final game in san francisco. but this afternoon he signed off one last time from dodger stadium. >> leave it to the dodgers. charlie culverson a game-winning home run. >> reporter: baseball is described as a boy's game played by men. if that holds true, then vin scully will be forever young. his voice echoing through history for millions of fans to come. mireya villareal, cbs news, dodger stadium. >> and that's the overnight news for this monday. for some of you the news continues. for others check back with us in just a short time for the morning news and "cbs this morning." from the broadcast center in new york, i'm reena ninan.
3:30 am
>> announcer: this is the "cbs overnight news." welcome to the overnight news. i'm reena ninan. for months now hillary clinton and donald trump have engaged in a sort of political shadow boxing, throwing jabs at each other on the stump, in commercials and even on twitter. well, tonight the bell rings for real with the first presidential debate of this election season. the verbal slugfest comes as the race tightens. the latest "washington post"/abc news poll has clinton and trump just about tied, with 46% for clinton and 44% for trump. a new cbs poll shows clinton holding her lead in virginia and colorado. those are two key battleground states. our poll shows trump leading in missouri, a state which has voted republican in recent presidential elections.
3:31 am
some analysts believe tonight's debate could be one of the most watched television events ever. jan crawford has more. >> reporter: getting ready for a presidential debate, it usually involves hours just locked inside a hotel conference room where they're running through every possible scenario. so we set up our own makeshift debate prep headquarters to talk to two political strategists about how it all works and what both candidates need to do to win. >> so they say she's been practicing for the debate. some people think she's sleeping. >> reporter: trump had a full schedule this week, traveling to the battleground states of north carolina, ohio, and pennsylvania instead of prepping for the debate. >> how's the debate prep going right now? >> well, i'm here at geno's. >> reporter: clinton on the other hand has been holed up with her top advisers preparing for what her campaign believes will be the single most consequential event leading up to election day. >> of all the big moments in a campaign this is the only one where the american people are
3:32 am
judging both candidates side by side and next to each other. so it's less about scoring points and more about what kind of impression you leave. >> reporter: democratic strategist michael feldman helped run al gore's 2000 presidential campaign. we sat down with him and republican strategist dan senor, who helped romney prepare for his 2012 debate against president obama to find out what goes into winning. >> the best debaters, i have found, the best performers are the ones who say i'm not going to win or lose this debate on this detail or that detail, it's the general impression i make. >> reporter: of the two candidates trump is more difficult to predict. and unlike his opponent he's never gone head to head with just one other candidate, a physically exhausting task. >> it's a very physical experience. >> 90 minutes. one on one with -- >> no breaks, no distractions, no ads. >> standing up. >> it's exhausting. >> reporter: these strategists predict that monday's debate could change the contours of the 2016 race. with over 60% of voters expressing concern about trump's
3:33 am
temperament, expectations are high. >> it is the super bowl of american politics. >> and if it were hillary clinton against jeb bush, or hillary clinton against marco rubio or whomever, sure, it would be the first debate would be a big deal. but hillary clinton against donald trump, it's a show of epic proportions. >> and maybe unlike anything we've ever seen. >> yes. >> reporter: now, already this year's debate is unprecedented. this is the first presidential debate ever between a man and a woman. >> cbs news will have primetime coverage of the presidential debate beginning at 9:00 p.m. eastern. john dickerson discussed the event with the vice presidential candidates tim kaine and mike pence for "face the nation." >> some of hillary clinton's supporters say there is a different standard for hillary clinton. what is that different standard in the debate? >> well, i'm not sure -- i'm hoping there isn't a different standard in the debate, john. i think there's been some worry that maybe up to now there's been different standards appl d applied. but that's the great thing about
3:34 am
the debate. i think there's three critical points. first, the candidates get grilled on specifics. hillary has been very specific about policy plans. we have a book out describing them. donald trump less so. but tomorrow is an opportunity to see whether donald will be specific about what he proposes to do. second, unanswered questions. the voters have questions. donald trump hasn't released his tax returns. news of this past week shows a whole series of very serious questions about donald trump's ties to russia. and finally, there's been news recently about very questionable, even illegal payments by the trump foundation. i think these unanswered questions are going to be on voters' minds. and then finally there's the issue of truthfulness. politifact has been tracking donald trump's claims on the campaign trail. thus far about 70% of the things they checked turn out to be false. so that's an interesting point about the debate tomorrow night too. in a 90-minute format, not 20-second sound bites, there's a real opportunity to hear somebody say something and then get into is that actually true or not?
3:35 am
so i think the debate issue, obviously let it be an even standard for both. but that issue about specifics, answering those unanswered questions, and checking people on truthfulness, that's going to be very important. >> i noticed the campaign put out a list already of 18 or so questions of -- or falsehoods about donald trump they put out. that's about donald trump. but hillary clinton, everything she says in the campaign, that will be in the debate, everything she says will be truthful? >> i think that's fair game. it's fair game for both candidates to be challenged either on things that they said or things that they say tomorrow night. and again, i think the great virtue of these debates is you get 90 minutes to look at people and really see whether there's depth, whether there's substance, and whether there's candor and truthfulness in what they say. >> any advice you've given hillary clinton before the debate in. >> we've talked a little about the debates, both of our debates, but more in the area of kind of tone and style and how
3:36 am
to effectively make your positive case even while parrying what the other guy throws at you. >> governor, most candidates would be hitting the books. donald trump has been out campaigning almost just like regular. so how has he been preparing for the debates? >> i think donald trump has been preparing for this debate for his entire lifetime. he's built a great business. he's traveled the country. and particularly in this campaign, john. as you saw last night in roanoke, virginia donald trump has been out among the american people. i think he's given voice to the frustrations and aspirations of the american people like no american leader in my lifetime since ronald reagan. and i think all of that is going to combine and come together. and i'm looking forward to seeing this good man, my running mate, step on that stage and present his message to make america great again to the american people. >> and he suggests the moderators shouldn't fact check in the debates. why shouldn't they?
3:37 am
>> well, i think we've all had the experience a few years ago of mitt romney being interrupted and being challenged on an assertion that he made. i believe it was about the tragedy in benghazi. and it turned out the moderator was wrong. i think the important thing is that the american people hear from these two candidates. the choice in this campaign could not be more clear. in donald trump we have a leader who literally embodies the american spirit, who wants to change the direction of this country through rebuilding our military, less taxes, less regulation, repealing obamacare, standing by the constitution. and hillary clinton literally offers a third obama term, more taxes, more regulation, more obamacare, more of the war on energy and more the of the policy that's weakened america's place in the world. we need to hear from these two candidates and i hope and trust that the moderators will just facilitate that. >> and governor, donald trump has said recently i will always tell you the truth.
3:38 am
do you expect that everything he says in the debate on monday night will be truthful? >> i think donald what are you doing right now? making a cake! uh oh. i don't see cake, i just see mess. it's like awful. it feels like am not actually cleaning it up. what's that make mommy do? (doorbell) what's that? swiffer wetjet. this is amazing. woah wow. now i feel more like making a mess is part of growing up. only new wetjet pads have absorb and lock to soak up tough messes and lock them away stop cleaning. start swiffering. redid you say 97?97! yes. you know, that reminds me of geico's

3:43 am
short paragraphs. there's nothing that can't be improved by making it shorter and better. >> reporter: when the idea of television was presented to you, was that exciting for you or foreboding? >> it scared me to death. it just about scared me to death. >> good evening. time's running out to get the hostage crisis -- >> reporter: in fact, he says the first time he anchored a broadcast he got some constructive criticism from the legendary mike wallace. >> he said you looked like you had gone into the room to empty the waste basket and you looked up and you saw walter cronkite's chair. so you said oh and you went and sat in his chair and you said to yourself i hope nobody catches me doing, this i hope nobody's watching. >> reporter: but soon he realized -- >> good evening, i'm charles osgood. >> reporter: -- he just needed to be himself on camera. >> it takes two to tango but more than two to make any kind of peace in the middle east. >> it's important the audience
3:44 am
be comfortable and they won't be if you're not comfortable. >> reporter: in 1994 charles osgood took over "sunday morning" from the venerable charles kuralt. >> good morning. i'm charles osgood, and this is "sunday morning." i know it sounds strange to me too, but here we are. >> reporter: you've got to know that the audience came to not just accept you but to really be very fond of you. what was that like as you started to realize that? >> i think if you you do something every week and if you fill up their homes, then they get to know you. they're not even surprised when you knock on the door and say may i come in. ♪ ♪ we have actors and artists ♪ not just politicians ♪ >> reporter: in the 22 years since charles osgood has taken us to cuba, explored the american architectural landmarks, even served up
