victims exhibited signs of suffocation, convulsions. assad denied responsibilities for the attack. russia said the toxic agents were released when a syrian air strike hit a rebel chemical weapons arsenal. days after that attack president trump ordered a cruise missile strike on the syrian base where it's believed the syrian military had launched the chemical attack. after the white house statement the u.s. ambassador to the u.n. tweeted, any further attacks done to the people of syria will be blamed on assad and his allies, russia and iran. the u.s. air strike was the first direct american attack on the syrian government and the toughest u.s. action in the six-year syrian civil war. earlier this month the u.s. military also shot down a syrian jet. >> some ominous news. thank you so much, hannah. well, the senate republican health care bill is on life support. it faces potential defeat

>> this cbo report should be the end of the road for trump care. republicans would be wise to read it like a giant stop sign. >> reporter: according to the cbo the biggest drop in coverage would come next year when 15 million more people would be uninsured primarily because the penalty for not having insurance would be eliminated. there would also be a net reduction of more than $300 billion in the deficit. that would be mostly due to reduced spending on medicaid. >> it's based on assumptions. makes an assumption that i think is flawed. >> reporter: they've been pushing for a vote as early as this week. at least a handful of republicans have said a vote is premature. >> i won't proceed to it until it changes. >> reporter: others are worried about how leadership will try to get the votes they need. >> the best way to lose me on this bill is to start buying people off. so that's what i'm really suspicious of. >> reporter: with democrats all expected to vote no, republicans

muslims and exceeded the president's authority under federal law. >> the white house officially submitted christopher ray's name to the senate as its nominee to be the next director of the fbi. ray, a former assistant attorney general said in a statement he is honored and humbled to be the nominee and looks forward to the confirmation process. if confirmed ray would replace james comey who the president fired in may. in southern utah this morning the nation's largest currently burning wildfire has forced more than 1,500 people from their homes. high winds and dry conditions are fuelling the fire near the popular ski town of bryanhead and has a high potential for extreme fire behavior. it has grown to at least 74 square miles. the fire was started june 17th by someone using a torch to burn weeds. east of los angeles a wildfire sparked by a traffic

days, all ending with juries not convicting police officers charged with fatally shooting black men. that has led some to ask why convicting officers is so rare. >> these cases are not easy cases. >> reporter: bowling green state university professor has been researching that very question. his data shows police fatally shoot more than 900 people every year. since 2005, 82 officers have been charged but only 29 have been convicted. >> jurors are seemingly very reluctant to second guess the split second life or death decisions of on duty police officers in violent street encounters. >> reporter: more importantly, stinson says the law is on the officers' side the moment they enter the courtroom based on a 1989 u.s. supreme court ruling that dictates how juries should deliberate. jury instructions like these state that officers can use deadly force if they believe

there's an imminent threat to themselves or others and use of force must be judged from the perspective of a reasonable officer on the scene and not with 20/20 hindsight. >> he's got his hands there now. >> reporter: though some officers lose their job the objective is to avoid the courthouse altogether. he says better deescalation training is needed. >> you know, not every occasion in america do we need an aggressive bulldog. or certainly a pit bull. we don't need police officers barking at the end of their chain and snapping and snarling at citizens. >> of those 29 officer convictions 15 were found guilty by a jury. at this moment there are at least 20 police officers currently waiting to stand trial across the country in use of force cases. cbs news, new york. well, coming up on cbs this morning, jeff glor is in alaska where attacks by black bears are
