>> mason: and, the bidding price for a piece of disco history reaches a fever pitch. this is the "cbs evening news." >> mason: and this is our western edition. i'm anthony mason. the senate health care bill is in a politically-induced coma. republicans couldn't come up with enough votes from their own party to pass the alternative to obamacare today. so they put off the vote until after the holiday break. an embarrassing setback for the g.o.p. leadership. here's chief congressional y rrespondent nancy cordes. >> we're delaying the process so that we can close those remaining issues. >> reporter: the senate's republican leader postponed the vote in the face of mounting owposition from his own party's lawmakers, like maine's susan collins. >> it's evident to me that there are a lot of concerns-- i'm not the only one, by any means--

about the senate bill. >> reporter: they discussed n ose concerns in a late- rnternoon meeting with the president, who downplayed the party divide. >> so we're going to talk, and we're going to see what we can do. we're getting very close. >> reporter: but he finds himself short on outside allies. the conservative club for growth henned the g.o.p. plan today saying it "would make our ariling health care system worse." and even as white house officials lobbied reluctant republicans, g.o.p. governors hit capitol hill with the opposite message. >> i want to make sure we're treated fairly. >> reporter: florida's rick scott and ohio's john kasich said the bill's deep medicaid dsts could tie their hands. blpublican leaders say that their bill gives governors like you more flexibility when inaling with the medicaid population. >> well, they give us a little bit more flexibility, but no wney. the whole key was, we need not only flexibility but we need the resources. >> reporter: the biggest blow to the g.o.p. plan came yesterday

when the non-partisan congressional budget office projected the bill would add tens of millions to the ranks of the uninsured. the c.b.o. also warned because of the bill's cuts to tax credits, few low-income people would purchase any plan at all. >> the ultimate reason this bill failed is because the american ikople just didn't like it. >> reporter: g.o.p. leaders say they are not giving up, that they'll spend the rest of the week trying to come up with solutions to the concerns their members have raised. but then they'll need to rewrite ewribill and have it reanalyzed ea the c.b.o., a process that could take several weeks, cothony. >> mason: nancy cordes at the capitol. thanks, nancy. and now to the white house, where tensions between the administration and the news media are growing. major garrett is there. >> so i'll ask the press to leave. i greatly appreciate you folks aping here. >> reporter: president trump tried to make nice with the press this afternoon, hours after assailing cnn on twitter.

the president wrote. cnn retracted and apologized for an online story linking former trump aid anthony scaramuci with nkrussian bank. the network also announced the resignation of three employees. scaramuci accepted the network's apology, but deputy white house press secretary sarah huckabee sanders pounced. >> we've been going on this russia-trump hoax for the better part of a year now, with no evidence of anything. america is, frankly, looking for something better. >> reporter: last year, a gallup poll found only 32% of americans had a great deal or fair amount st trust in the media. among republicans, the number was 14%. but the white house has credibility issues of its own. "the new york times" has accused the president of saying something false every day for the first 40 days of his isministration.

"there is simply no precedent for an american president to toend so much time telling titruths," "the times" wrote last week. "he is trying to create an atmosphere in which reality is irrelevant." today, brian karem of sentinel newspapers vented his emustration with the trump press seam. >> what you just did is inflammatory to people all over the country who look at it and say, "see, once again, the president is right and everybody else out here is fake media." >> reporter: the white house tried to use the cnn story to isand all russia-related news as phony. but, anthony, here's what's not phony: two congressional buvestigations and a special counsel probe into the matter. >> mason: major garrett at the white house. thanks, major. "the washington post" is one of the president's frequent targets. idday, the paper reported mr. trump may be guilty of pushing some fake news of his own. neframed copy of "time" magazine dated march 1, 2009, with mr. trump on the cover, hangs in at least four of his golf clubs. problem is, it's fake.

before he ran for president, mr. trump did appear on "time's" cover in 1989. computers froze today at hospitals, governor offices, and multinational corporations held for ransom by cyber crooks using a program called petya. elizabeth palmer reports the attack spread quickly. >> reporter: the malware crippled computers across ukraine, russia, the u.k., most of europe, and the u.s. disabling a vast range of automated systems in banks, an airport, a construction company, a major law firm, and even grocery stores, where customers were left with no way to pay. corporate titans were hit, too, including new jersey-based merck pharmaceuticals, the danish shipping company moller-maersk, and the russian oil giant rosneft. so, who done it? carl herberger from radware cyber-security. what do you suspect?

>> so, the suspicions are that this is a criminal motive. why? because they're asking for money. >> reporter: $300, to be exact. here's what an infected computer 30lls the user to do-- pay up in the cryptocurrency bitcoin to get your files back. cyberattacks, say the experts, are here to stay, especially ransomware, and they could get much more sinister. >> you can imagine a future where maybe, conceptually, they are able to infect a defibrilator or insulin pacemaker or automobile, or something like this, which is the ultimate ransom. >> reporter: that's a terrifying prospect. >> and i think it's-- it's a not-unforecastable future. >> reporter: the experts also say that there was a software fix available to protect against petya, but not everybody has heen keeping their cyber- atcurity up to date. today's attack, anthony, should e- a wake-up call.

>> mason: elizabeth palmer, thanks, liz. president trump appears to have liawn his own red line over chemical weapons in syria. arst night, the u.s. warned the assad regime it will pay a heavy price if it launches another chemical attack. david martin is following this. >> reporter: the white house warning was based on surveillance of shayrat airfield, the same base from which the syrian regime launched a deadly poison gas attack in april. the nerve agent sarin killed 87 people, including children. the u.s. military retaliated by firing 59 cruise missiles at the airfield. ever since, the base has been thder intense surveillance as a known location of chemical weapons. u.esident trump's u.n. ambassador nikki haley told elngress what u.s. intelligence has observed. >> they have seen activities that are similar to preparations of a chemical weapons attack, much like what we saw on april 4. >> reporter: according to

pentagon officials, an aircraft shelter, which once housed the usrian jet that carried out the t emical attack is once again in use. u.s. intelligence has also picked up an increase in bmmunications by the syrian military unit responsible for chemical weapons. pentagon officials cautioned the intelligence does not add up to a smoking gun. inill, the white house rushed bat a statement warning that if the regime of bashir al-assad conducts another chemical attack, he and his military will pay a heavy price. ambassador haley expanded that to include syria's two main allies. >> the goal is at this point, not just to send assad a message, but to send russia and iran a message. >> reporter: about the same time haley was making that statement, syria's assad was being given a tour of russian aircraft at their main base in syria. r st offshore, four u.s. navy isips armed with cruise missiles were operating in the eastern

mediterranean, twice as many as carried out the strike on shayrat airfield in april. david martin, cbs news, the pentagon. >> mason: our holly williams has been given a rare look inside syria, where fighters backed by the u.s. have surrounded raqqa, aqich isis considers its capital. today, holly met with u.s. forces just outside the city. >> reporter: 12 miles north of the front line in raqqa, american marines and army engineers are replacing a shattered bridge. they've spent three days in the desert, coaxing the prefabricated steel into place. captain bobby murray based at camp lejeune, north carolina, told us the war against isis aere in syria has left behind a deadly path of destruction. >> there used to be a lot of mines out here from isis, and ha-- the engineers that we niought, along with our e.o.d. technicians, swept out the

field, made sure that it was safe. >> it hit that truck. >> reporter: but just minutes later, a truck hit a mine less than a mile away. and the marines raced off to investigate. the driver miraculously was still alive. medic colton siegel treated him for lacerations and concussion. khalil bozan is a fighter with america's syrian allies and said he was heading to the front line when he hit the mine. the marines found more mines and then detonated them. in the nearby village of al- bara, they're grateful for american help, but there's very little optimism. nobody here would speak to us on camera because they still have family members living under isis control, and they're frightened of retribution. but off camera, they told us they have no running water, very little food, and their children are illiterate because the schools have been closed for five years.

america's attempts to win hearts and minds in the middle east have often been troubled, and after half a decade of civil war, syria's fractures may be beyond repair. holly williams, cbs news, al- abara just north of raqqa. >> mason: here at home, as the rthool year ends, camp season begins, but parents are sending their kids off on buses unaware of the serious risks they could face. here's kris van cleave. >> reporter: every day, 60 orhool bus drivers get into accidents. that's about 22,000 bus crashes a year, injuring thousands of students. but the problems are much worse than just traffic accidents. our cbs news investigation found a stunning lack of oversight of school bus drivers. on average, at least once a week, a driver is arrested for driving under the influence. e> i caught a big whiff of alcohol. >> reporter: or child pornography. >> and what was on that computer?

?> some underage pictures. >> reporter: or even sexually assaulting a child. >> when i look into her eyes i can still see it. >> reporter: this new york couple, who didn't want to be identified, told us their special needs daughter was wasulted behind a church by her driver when she was 15. >> he would pick her up, make her get out of the bus, and do whatever he wanted to do. a, reporter: the family said the hiiver, reinaldo vega, should ve wheel. he had been arrested a year earlier on suspicion of child abuse, but was allowed to keep his job. the charges were eventually dropped, but vega pleaded guilty to assaulting their daughter. >> this shouldn't have been an issue. he just shouldn't have been driving those kids. adedeporter: school bus drivers have to get a commercial haiver's license, but because few drive across state lines, many federal safety rules do not apply. so while drivers can etsqualifying medical conditions would not be able to work for a company like greyhound, they could drive a school bus. transportation attorney steve gursten:

te truck drivers driving heads of lettuce or television sets actually have to meet higher safety standards than the people who drive our children on school buses. >> reporter: this driver was busted for a d.u.i. in connecticut, one of only two fates keeping track of all drivers arrested on the job. 21 states told us no school bus joivers had been charged with dru.i.s in the past three years, but we found at least one such arrest in each of those states. >> there are no universal standards, so there is nothing that will automatically disqualify a school bus driver who let's say, has an extensive criminal background or d.u.i.s or has caused too many crashes. >> reporter: alexander rodriguez was hired to drive a school bus in tennessee, even though his background check flagged criminal charges in new jersey flr having a weapon and drugs i. a few years later, he pleaded guilty to the statutory rape of a 15-year-old student who rode his bus. >> parents assume, when they put their children on school bus,

that the drivers are safe. the parents really need to be asking who is driving their children. >> reporter: complicating the situation, last year 90% of school districts reported a shortage of bus drivers. one of the largest school bus companies in the country, durham school services, has turned to craigslist to find drivers, even calling former employees like inlly shane hooper, who was hired despite being under investigation for multiple charges of child pornography. >> i got a call from my old job. they were offering me my job back because they were short. $20.80 an hour-- you can get up here quickly. >> reporter: the school bus usdustry refused all of our requests for interviews. this child survived. the driver stayed on the job, leaving parents wondering who is watching out for their children. kris van cleave, cbs news, rochester, new york. >> mason: and coming up next on the "cbs evening news," growing complaints about the negative side effects of cosmetics. and later, a piece of hollywood history hits the auction floor.

>> mason: complaints about side effects from cosmetics more than doubled last year, yet, most of these products are still on ntore shelves. dr. tara narula has been following this. tara, what types of products are pr talking about and what types of reactions are people having? >> we're talking about products that we use every day-- makeup, moisturizers, deodorants, perfume, hair care, and coloring products. in this analysis they found from 2015 to 2016, the events-- adverse events doubled from 700 in 2015 to 1,500 in 2016. >> mason: which still doesn't seem like very many. >> it doesn't, but the authors suggest we're seeing the tip of l e iceberg, that typically research shows that we get reports of under 10% of the total amount of adverse events. pie reactions we're talking wout range from skin itching, irritation, rash, hair loss, a allergic reactions and longer term concerns about cancer or endocrine or hormone casruptions. >> mason: what type of oversight

is there? >> there's minimal oversight. and that's the problem. a lot would be surprised. when you look at how this industry is regulated, it's really self-regulated. lyey are self-policing, and the biggest issue is that sunufacturers are not required to give consumer complaints over to the f.d.a. pley don't have to report it. and so, what we have is a epssive surveillance system where essentially the f.d.a. is waiting for consumer complaints ia for complaints from public foalth officials or doctors, and then eliciting investigations. >> mason: so, tara, what can consumers do to protect themselves? um it's really hard for sensumers to navigate the labels. la one of the things they can do is look for products that have the least number of ingredients, to limit the concern for reactions to ingredients. they can also look for products that don't have dyes, fragrances or preservatives. the best things that consumers can do is go to the f.d.a. website and file a report if they have an adverse event. what might be a rash for me might be a more serious problem for you, and the only way the f.d.a. is going to get a clear d cture of what's going on with
