what is happening down here. you can see some of the flames flairing up right now as i am speaking am i just watched this flair up just a moment ago. that is what firefighters are having to contend with. even though it had been a wet winter here in the los angeles area, they were in a drought for the last five years, so you have new he veg raise-- veg taition because it was wet on top of dry veg taition. >> whoa, that was cool. >> and it is sparking fires and just spreading very, very quickly. firefighters doing what they can to save a number of homes. >> you can see these are getting close to homes so very dramatic moments for sure. >> these are million dollar homes in the suburb of burbank. it's been a bad week for fighting fires across the west coast. you have more than a dozen fires in arizona where a state of emergency has been declared. and the largest wildfire is still burning in utah. it has swallowed up now 84 square miles. back to you, anthony. >> jamie yuccas in southern california, thanks. just as the summer travel season gets under way the dem of

most importantly, heightened screening of personal electronic devices. >> we are taking prudent steps to make aircraft more secure, to reduce insider threats, and to identify suspicious passengers. >> reporter: the enhanced security comes after u.s. intelligence determined more terrorists are learning how to build an explosive hidden in a laptop, like the bomb that detonated on a flight in somalia last year. in march the trump administration banned large electronics in the cabins of airplanes traveling to the u.s. from ten airports in africa and the middle east. the administration had been threatening to widen that ban to the concern of some other countries. today's action is seen as a compromise. >> t.s.a. is always looking for the best capability. >> reporter: one new technology that may now be used, 3-d scanners that can better identify explosives in carry-on bags. the machines are being tested at phoenix international airport. steve karoly is an assistant

administrator at the t.s.a. b the bad guy is very agile and always changing, where we need to be that agile. >> reporter: the security upgrades will not all happen at once. they'll be fazed in over time. anthony, there is something else that d.h.s. officials are concerned about, and that is the nkreat for potential hijackings. >> mason: jeff pegues, thanks, jeff. tomorrow the president's partial 90-day ban on travel from six mstly muslim nations goes into effect. these who already have visas or amve business or family in the u.s. are exempt. this week the supreme court lifted most of the injunctions placed on the executive order. the justices will consider whether it is constitutional in the fall. mr. trump is just five months into his presidency, but today his spokesperson, sarah huckabee sanders said, of course he's running for reelection. there are still questions dogging his last campaign.

former campaign chairman paul manafort revealed he made $17 million in two years while working for a ukrainian political party sympathetic to the russian government. this week he registered as a foreign agent. here's major garrett. >> reporter: justice department filings show paul manafort earned more than $17 million in consulting fees from the party in regions, a political party in ukraine with ties to the kremlin. manafort worked for the party from 2012 to 2014, but until this week, he did not disclose tis activities as required by u.s. law. manafort's deputy, rick gates, also registered as a foreign agent. gates was a prominent member of the trump campaign and inauguration committee. manafort served as the trump campaign's chairman for three months. he resigned in august amid allegations he received more than $12 million in undisclosed payments from the party of regions. his work in ukraine has drawn

scrutiny from congressional committees investigating russian meddling in the u.s. election. ,t a february press conference, the president talked openly about manafort's political work. >> and he said that he has absolutely nothing to do and never has with russia. >> reporter: the white house has tried to downplay manafort's involvement in the campaign. press secretary sean spicer. >> and then obviously there's been discussion of paul manafort, who played a very limited role for a very limited amount of time. >> reporter: but in addition to running the campaign for several months, manafort also remained t informal adviser to mr. trump after the election. in december he spoke with "cbs this morning" about his discussions with the incoming administration. >> will you lobby for foreign clients? >> no. >> you won't lobby for any foreign clients? >> no. i haven't been a lobbyist in washington in 20 years probably. >> reporter: in a july interview lyth cbs news, manafort denied any connection between mr. trump and russia. >> so to be clear, mr. trump has an financial relationships with

any russian oligarchs? >> that's what he said. that's what i said. that's obviously what our position is. i reporter: prosecutors in ukraine said this week there was no evidence manafort received illicit payments. anthony, a spokesman said manafort is not under justice department investigation and is cooperating with the house and senate russia inquiries. >> mason: major garrett at the hoite house, thanks. senate majority leader mitch mcconnell spent today working to revive the republican obplacement for obamacare. he hopes to have a revised bill ready by friday so it can be considered when congress returns from its fourth of july break. mcconnell postponed a vote on the republican plan yesterday because he could not muster enough support. turning now to syria, cbs news has learned the u.s. and russia are still communicating with each other in the fight against isis. at least 6,000 u.s. troops are on the ground in syria and iraq.

today holly williams met their commanding general. >> reporter: carved out of the desert in northern syria, a dirt airstrip for the u.s. military. and storage space for over 100 tons of munitions. this is an american logistics hub for the fight to retake raqqa, the so-called isis capital, which began almost a month ago. lieutenant general stephen townsend is the commander of the u.s.-led coalition to fight isis. >> hi, holly. it's good to see you again. it's been a while. in reporter: he came straight from a forward command post near raqqa. >> i think we're actually in the first 25% or 30% of the campaign for raqqa. we're just getting started good in raqqa. ( gunfire ) >> reporter: as u.s.-backed fighters close in on isis from -be north, they've also clashed with syrian regime forces, which are backed by russia. it's led to fears that the u.s. and russia could be drawn into a direct conflict, but the general downplayed that risk.

>> we've worked out a de- confliction line with the russians and the regime, and they seem content to let us work on the raqqa problem, and they're drawing a line, and they're happy to work on their side of it, and we'll work on our side of it. >> reporter: general townsend promoted a young officer to first lieutenant today. >> in the army of the united states... >> i solemnly reaffirm... .. reporter: he acknowledged to owlehat u.s. troops won't be leaving this country any time soon. us i think u.s. troops will start leaving syria when isis is defeated. >> reporter: but isis will surely turn into an insurgency when they've lost all of their territory. >> yeah, i think that's the next stage of isis. we call that isis 2.0, an insurgency, rural. so i think we'll still be here dealing with that problem set for a while. >> reporter: isis and its cult of barbarity may be difficult to eradicate entirely, but, anthony, raqqa was used as an operations base to launch terror attacks on the west, and the u.s. hopes by retaking the city

it will prevent future attacks. >> mason: holly williams near raqqa. thank you, holly. a viral video on facebook shows a jacksonville, florida, police officer threatening to haul a young black man to jail after stopping him for jaywalking. did the low-level infraction warrant a high-intensity arcounter? here's mireya villarreal. >> reporter: moments after being stopped for allegedly jaywalking by jacksonville sheriffs deputy jack bolen, 21-year-old devonte shipman started to record the incident. >> reporter: the interaction happened a week ago, and shipman believes this is about more than just a jaywalking citation.

>> reporter: but in florida jaywalking is a crime that could mean a citation and fine, not jail time. >> reporter: according to florida law, only motorists are required to have i.d.s on them, not pedestrians. the jacksonville sheriff's department says they are aware of the video and are conducting an administrative review. anthony, shipman was issued two citations totaling $198 in fines. >> mason: mireya, thanks. and coming up on the "cbs evening news," a type of guardrail used in more than half the country is at the center of two new lawsuits. and instead of a flu shot, would you prefer a flu patch?

transportation systems which makes the x-lite shows how it's supposed to work, telescoping backward to help absorb an to ct. instead the tennessee department of transportation found in some high-speed crashes, the first section of rail can separate, allowing the next section to potentially spear a vehicle. the state sent this letter to federal regulators, expressing concerns about the device and is spending millions to remove all 1,800 of them from tennessee roads. there are 14,000 along roads in more than half the country, most are in these seven states. gambill's attorney ted leopold. >> unfortunately because of the design defects that's in this system, it's causing just d rrendous damage and deaths. r reporter: federal regulators say nine states have either stopped buying or started replacing the device, but anthony, lindsay its maker calls these allegations without merit and says the x-lite has passed crash and safety tests in accordance with federal standards.

>> mason: a frightening scene in iowa today. a tornado touched down in stuart, west of des moines. it was on the ground for about ten minutes. so far no injuries have been reported. fewer than 50% of americans got the flu shot last year. researchers in atlanta want to increase those numbers by giving people the option to vaccinate themselves with a skin patch. dr. jon lapook takes a look. >> reporter: as georgia tech mgineer mark prausnitz watched his three children get flu shots, he asked himself a question: >> why do we need a needle that's an inch long to cross a barrier that is incredibly thin? so the thought was, let's make very small needles, let's make escro-needles that can cross

that barrier. >> reporter: traditional flu vaccine injections require a needle long enough to reach muscle, but prausnitz and his colleagues at emory university tried something new, delivering the vaccine just inside the skin, using a small patch covered with microscopic needles isat dissolve within minutes. the patch can be self- n ministered. >> if you zoom in and look at u ch of those individual micro- needles, the height of each of those needles is equal to about the width of a piece of paper. >> reporter: their study of 100 volunteers found the patch was safe, causing mild itching and redness at the application site, and it was as good as a traditional flu shot in stimulating an immune response t a blood test. researchers still have to prove the vaccine actually protects people from getting the flu. >> the next step is to study more people and make sure these initial findings are still orrrect in a larger population. p reporter: 29-year-old daisy bourassa participated in the trial. >> i really foresee that this

could be something that could be like amazon prime and you could get it at your doorstep and then do it while you're watching tv. >> reporter: prausnitz says if all goes well, he hopes the patch will be commercially available in five years. foe vaccine holds up without hefrigeration for up to a year. that could be a huge plus in the okveloping word. >> mason: jon lapook with a great invention. thanks, jon. author michael bond, the creator of paddington bear, has died. ok 1956, bond, then a bbc camera man, purchased a lonely looking teddy bear for his wife and tamed it after london's paddington train station. bond dreamed up adventures for the bear inspired by the plight of world war ii refugee wildren. paddington went on to star in a movie and sell 35 million books. michael bond was 91 years old. up next, sharing stories about an issue most of us would rather ignore.
