this is the "cbs overnight news." welcome to the overnight news. i'm jericka duncan. tensions between wash and moscow remained high after secretary of state rex tillerson's meeting with vladimir putin at the kremlin. the two discussed a wide range of issues, including russia's support of bashar al assad in si syria, and he cited the low level of trust between the two super powers. >> the current state is at a low point. >> reporter: after a two-how much meeting with the president vladimir putin. secretary tillerson left without

settling the main issue between them, the future of bashar al assad. >> that's a butcher. that's a butcher. >> reporter: back in washington, trump said i wanted to know if putin was aware of assad's plan to use chemicals. >> they could have. they were there. we'll find out. >> reporter: you said you believed russia was either incompetent or complicit in these chemical weapons attacks. do you know which one that is? >> we have no firm information to indicate that there was any involvement by russian forces into this attack. what we do know that the attack was planned, carried out by the regime forces at the direction of bashar al assad. >> reporter: putin has claimed that the u.s. was trying to frame assad. behind closed doors today, tillerson argued that assad must go, and russia's best chance at better relations with the u.s. rests on whether it will stop

propping up the dictator. relations have also deteriorated because of u.s. intelligence assessment that russia meddled in the u.s. election to help mr. trump. >> it is a serious issue. it's one that we know is serious enough to attract additional sanctions. >> reporter: as an oil executive, tillerson had extensive negotiations with putin, who even awarded him a presidential medal of friendship. closer to home, the investigation of russian meddling in the presidential election is now focussed on one of president trump's former top advisers. nancy cordes reports. >> reporter: to monitor carter page, fbi agents had to provide evidence to a secret court indicating that the former trump campaign officer was working as a foreign agent. >> it's a high standard. >> reporter: virginia's mark warner is the top democrat on the committee.

>> a fisa warrant was issued, it's very serious. >> reporter: the fisa warrant was issued last july. it's unclear what evidence agents had on page and whether they were monitoring any other trump confidantes. today page denied he worked for spies. >> this is such a joke that it's beyond words. >> reporter: page has been on the fbi's radar since at least 2013, when two russian intelligence agents were recorded as they discussed trying to recruit him. he flies to moscow more often than i do, one said. it's obvious that he wants to earn lots of money. for now, his enthusiasm works for me. russia ties are also dogging paul manafort who has long denied that he has received cash payments from ukraine's former russian-backed regime. the associated press reported today it has confirm good payouts that match line items in a hand-written ukrainian ledger.

one bamt to manafort's consulting firm was for $750,000. the other for $455,000. a manafort spokesman calls it totally misleading. he says manafort made no secret of the fact that he was working as a political consultant in ukraine and was always paid legally, he says by wire transfer. president trump welcomed nato's secretary-general to the white house. now he's endorsing nato expansion. and that's not the only change at the white house. major garrett explains. >> reporter: the president's chief strategist, steve bannon, took a front seat in the news conference today. but sources close to the president say that bannon's role in the inner circle is in jeopardy. >> there is a new political order. >> reporter: clashes with jared kushner have angered mr. trump, as was evident in an interview yesterday with the new york

post. steve is a good guy, but i told them to straighten it out or i will, the president said. after ordering a bannon/kushner truce late last week. the president also tried to minimize bannon's influence. i like steve, but you have to remember, he was not involved in my campaign until very late, mr. trump said. i had already beaten all the senators and all the governors, and i didn't know steve. i'm my own strategist. in fact, mr. trump was well acquainted with mr. bannon before he became campaign ceo in august. >> mr. trump, thank you very much for joining us on the initial breitbart news show. >> that's such an honor. >> reporter: he interviewed trump on breitbart news more than ten times starting in november of 2015. all this comes amid another high-profile white house controversy. >> you had a, you know, someone as despicable as hitler, who didn't even sink to the, to using kem cam weapons. >> reporter: today press

secretary sean spicer tried to apologize for clumsily comparing assad's use of sarin nerve gas to adolf hitler's actions during the holocaust. >> to make a gaff and a mistake like this is inexcusable and reprehensible. on a professional level, it's disappointing, because i think i've let the president down. the ceo of uf nighted airlines is now changing his tune regarding the passenger who was dragged off an overbooked flight. he's apologizing to the man. kris van cleave reports. >> oh, my god! >> reporter: as united airlines strulgles to stem the fallout, the company's ceo, oscar munoz says he has failed to create an environment in which employees are free to use common sense to solve problems rather than strictly following policy, something he says he will fix. >> you saw us at a bad moment. and this can never, will never

president trump twice tried to issue an immigration ban or a travel ban on refugees from majority muslim countries. what message do you think that sent? >> when the president banned muslim majority countries that was really disappointing, and i was deeply hurt, because i'm a muslim. and to me, it seemed like directly banning muslims, and that is not a solution. that is just hiding from the bigger problem. he she haneeds to understand th need to meet the people. >> reporter: malala has done just that, spending her 19th birthday with somalian refugees. she also visited a camp in jordan. >> they are dying. they're dying. they're being killed. and if you don't open the door. if you don't welcome them, they will be killed.
