sending a shoutout to u.s. service members involve in an airstrike on a syrian airbase. mr. trump is spending the weekend at his mar-a-lago resort in palm beach, where his administration is denying rumors of an impending west wing shake-up. here's margaret brennan. >> i think we have made tremendous progress in our relationship with china. >> reporter: president trump's china summit was not the only high-stakes diploamalcy at mar-a-lago. on the sidelines, chief of staff reince priebus brokered a detente between the administration's two warring factions, varies steve bannon and trump son-in-law jared kushner. the populist bannon is the architect of the america first policy and has advocated breaking up america's alliances and institutions. >> we have a team that's just grinding it through on what president trump promised the american people. >> that world view competes for

influence with kushner. as mr. trump's most trusted adviser, kushner was invited to join his intimate dinner with china's president. wife ivanka dismissed inn fighting during an interview with gayle king this week. >> i do think we have a lot of different viewpoints at the table, but they're not at odds with one another. >> reporter: on friday, the white house denied persistent press reports that mr. trump was considering firing chief of staff priebus for faith failing to sort out the dispute. yet, today, a white house official confirmed the infighting and said priebus had managed to get the two men to end their back-and-forth. kushner's expanding influence on foreign policy has led some to refer to him as a shadow secretary of state. but it was rex tillerson himself who led talks with china, and publicly defended the president's decision to strike in syria. >> do you worry about russian retaliation for the u.s. military actions? >> i see no reason that there would be retaliations since the russians were never targeted in

this particular strike. it was a very deliberate, very proportional, and very targeted strike undertaken in response. >> reporter: tillerson's influence on national security policy may be increasing. steve bannon was removed from the national security council earlier this week. vlad. >> duthiers: margaret, thank you. you can see john dickerson's full interview with the secretary of state, rex tillerson, sunday morning on "face the nation." air strikes resumed today on the syrian town where nearly 90 people were killed last week in a chemical attack. that horrific slaughter, blamed on assad regime, prompted the u.s. to fire dozens of missiles on an airbase thursday night. he's vietnam. >holly williams.59 missiles werd overnight thursday, pitting shayrat airbase from where it's thought the syrian regime launched a chemical attack on tuesday. u.s. officials estimate 20

regime aircraft were destroyed. ammunition dumps and radars were also targeted. the syrian regime called it an act of flagrant aggression, and claims it doesn't possess chemical weapons. its close ally, russia, called the missile strikes a violation of international law. the regime and russia both deny there was a chemical attack on the town of khan sheikhoun, even though these videos from the aftermath bear the telltale signs consistent with the use of a toxic nerve agent. men, women, and children left gasping for breath, foaming at the mouth, and suffocating to death. instead, russia and the regime claim a conventional regime airstrike like this one hit a chemical weapons facility operated by their enemy, syria's rebel forces. but a conventional strike, say

experts, would destroy those chemicals, not disperse them. in khan sheikhoun, they buried their dead, and many residents have now fled. some who've remained say the u.s. missile strikes aren't enough. "there should be more so we don't get hit again," said this man. "to avoid retaliation with another chemical attack." shayrat airbase is just one of several operated by the syrian regime and its forces are continuing to carry out air strikes, including on the town of khan sheikhoun, according to opposition activists. holly williams, cbs news, istanbul. >> duthiers: meanwhile, a u.s. soldier was killed today while fighting against isis in afghanistan. a u.s. military spokesman says the u.s. special forces soldier was killed during an operation in the eastern part of the country. in sweden, a suspect is under arrest in connection with a deadly truck attack friday in stockholm. at least four people were

overnight, authorities arrested one man on suspicion of terrorism, who matches surveillance images released shortly after the crash. he's been identified as a 39-year-old uzbek national who was previously known to intelligence services but had fallen off the radar. his low-tech attack the latest in a series of similar ones carried out throughout europe. we're back here the day after, just stepped away from the bus you were on. what goes on in your mind as you look at this, knowing you were there yesterday? >> it's amazing. i mean, if the bus had been two or three meters ahead, i don't know if i should be here. >> reporter: stockholm shopping district remains shut down as memorials grow around this ongoing investigation. jonathan vigliotti, cbs news, stockholm. >> duthiers: u.s. government investigators are accusing google of underpaying women. justice reporter paula reid is

at a lower rate, that's significantly has the potential to damage their brand. >> reporter: in a statement, google says it vehemently disagrees with the government. >> reporter: to show its support for equal pay, google pointed us to a tweet the company issued, as well as an op-ed and the company's equal pay guide dnot provide with us any data nor did it tell whether or not it had given the department of labor the information it has requested. vlad. >> duthiers: paula reid in washington, thank you. coming up next, is the trump administration preparing to crack down on legal pot?

>> duthiers: this week, attorney general jeff sessions, no fan of marijuana, directed all 94 u.s. attorneys to evaluate pot-enforcement policies and send him recommendations. as carter evans reports, a federal crackdown on legal weed would face blow-back from the states. >> reporter: all right, so what have we got in here? >> this is super lemon haze. >> reporter: each year, more than 100,000 marijuana plants are grown, processed, and packaged in this industrial warehouse in olympia, washington. and it's all legal. >> a lot of people would be surprised to see what a good recreational facility looks like. >> reporter: jerry derevyanny is with northwest cannabis solutions, the state's leading pot producer, earning $21 million last year. >> i think that a lot of politicians have realized that even if they don't personally like marijuana, that this is the better way forward. >> reporter: they'd rather have it in a place like this than in back alleys and garages. >> absolutely.

attorney general bob ferguson has already fought president trump's travel ban and won. so you're prepared to go toe to toe with the trump administration? >> that's an understatement. the trump administration should respect what states are doing. we're the laboraesdemocracy. >> reporter: at northwest cannabis solution, nearly 200 jobs are on the line. >> i think that transparency is what will change many people's minds about the industry. >> reporter: but if they can't change minds at the federal level, the multibillion-dollar recreational marijuana industry could soon take a hit. carter evans, cbs news, olympia, washington. >> duthiers: up next, the quest for the perfect selfie near cost a woman her life. how her frightening fall is putting a new focus on selfie dangers.
