establishment, anti-capitalist protests, and german authorities sent out 15,000 police to try to keep them under control. it was a sharp contrast to the friendly crowd that greeted president trump in warsaw earlier today. >> the fundamental question of our time is whether the west has the will to survive. >> reporter: at a memorial to a polish uprising against the nazis, the president committed a defending countries in the nato alliance. >> we stand firmly behind article 5. >> reporter: something he had been unwilling to say when he visited nato headquarters in ers the president also delivered his sharpest criticism of russia to date: >> we urge russia to cease its destabilizing activities in ukraine and elsewhere, and its support for hostile regimes, including syria and iran. er reporter: but earlier in the day, mr. trump suggested he is unlikely to confront russian president vladimir putin about ecscow's meddling in the 2016 election. the two leaders will meet tomorrow. >> i think it was russia, but i
5:33 pm
think it was probably other people and/or countries. and i see nothing wrong with that statement. nobody really knows. >> reporter: the u.s. needs russia's support to put new international sanctions on north korea. >> they are behaving in a very, very dangerous manner, and something will have to be done about it. >> reporter: in the wake of its recent missile test, mr. trump was asked if he's ready and willing to take military action? >> i don't like to talk about what i have planned, but i have ngme pretty severe things that we're thinking about. >> reporter: the threats posed by north korea will be a topic when presidents trump and putin meet tomorrow. james, they're also going to discuss a u.s. proposal to collaborate with russia to end the bloody war in syria. >> brown: margaret brennan in hamburg, thank you so much. back in washington, the government ethics watchdog who raised red flags about trump edmily business dealings, resigned today.
5:34 pm
then, he talked to our julianna goldman. >> the specter of a conflict of interest is always looming out there. >> reporter: walter shaub has been a unique voice. as the government's ethics chief, he's taken on his boss, president donald trump, publicly, but today he gave up. >> i really feel like i've achieved all i can achieve under the current circumstances. um reporter: he says that unless president trump eliminates all financial ties to his insinesses, the american people can never be certain his policy decisions are based on what's best for the country. do you think the president and his family are using the office n enrich themselves? >> i can't know what their intention is. i know that the effect is, that there's an appearance that the ocsinesses are profiting from his occupying the presidency. >> reporter: but at this point, it sounds like you're saying, you can't be sure. >> you can't be sure. so it almost doesn't matter, but whether they are profiting or
5:35 pm
not, america should have the right to know what the motivations of its leaders are. >> reporter: in previous administrations, the office of iovernment ethics operated under the radar. shaub changed that shortly after the election when he unleashed a series of sarcastic tweets prodding mr. trump to divest his assets. >> in many ways, what i was really trying to do with that is, "a," communicate with the thesident using the medium i saw esm communicate in. >> reporter: but he never spoke with the president, and shaub said the white house counsel dismissed his concerns. >> i can actually run my business and run government at the same time. >> reporter: ultimately, mr. trump handed control of his private businesses to his sons, and noted there are no conflict of interest laws for a president. his attorney also said he couldn't sell off his assets, because he would lose money. >> i have no sympathy for that. i mean, he's in a position where he's going to have to send young ton and women to die in combat, potentially, or risk their lives at least. they're paying a much higher price. so, no, it's not too much to ask
5:36 pm
for somebody to incur a bit of a financial loss, if they have to sell things off. >> reporter: shaub's term was ht to end in january, but he said he got a job with a non- rertisan ethics group and felt like he could have a greater impact outside of government. wmes, in a statement, the white ause said it accepted his resignation and appreciated his service. >> brown: julianna goldman in washington, thank you. and julianna will have more about this story tomorrow on tbs this morning." with congress in recess, many members are back home, including the republican speaker of the house, paul ryan. here's dean reynolds. >> reporter: speaker ryan has been criticized for not being trcessible to his constituents in wisconsin's first district. >> hey, everybody, how you teing? >> reporter: some voters have even held mock town halls without him. in february, they posed their questions to an empty chair. but today, ryan's schedule included what were billed as employee town halls. and at w.p.c. technologies in oak creek, that meant most questions were selected in
5:37 pm
advance by a company official. this was the first one: >> if you had to make a decision between attending an october regular season packers game or a brewers world series game, which would you attend? >> reporter: for the record, he said probably the brewers. but there were no questions about russia, no questions about the president or his tweets, which ryan has criticized. no questions about the investigations of the edministration, here or at a second stop in racine. there was one about the office of the presidency, though: >> just wondering if you have ony plans for running for the president in the future? >> no. none at all. that's an easy one to answer. ( laughter ) absolutely not. >> reporter: also easy to answer was the one question about the effects of the house health care reform on the workers here: since all of them are covered by their employers, there's no effect. .> 50 million people get their ncsurance from their job, like everybody here does, and so this doesn't affect that marketplace. >> reporter: and thus, no real ated for ryan to defend what salls say is an unpopular piece
5:38 pm
of legislation. on wanted to ask the speaker if he thought tightly-controlled events like these were really a true test of his accessibility, but didn't get very far. mr. speaker? r.n we ask you a question? >> got to go. >> reporter: presumably, the speaker will be more forthcoming tomorrow, james, because that's when he's scheduled a press conference in madison, the state capital. >> brown: dean reynolds in racine, wisconsin, thank you. republican congressman steve scalise of louisiana has suffered a setback in his recovery from gunshot wounds. the majority whip was one of five people hurt when a gunman opened fire last month at a congressional baseball practice. he had another round of surgery today, and he's back in intensive care. cbs news chief medical correspondent jon lapook is s re. jon, back in intensive care with an infection. we know you're not his physician, but what does this mean? >> reporter: j.b., we don't have a lot of information, but causes of infection in a hospital include pneumonia, infection of the bladder, urinary tract
5:39 pm
infection, and you have all these catheters and tubes in you, they can get infected. bet we heard he had surgery. hey didn't say where in the body he had surgery, but you have to wonder about this. the bullet came in through the pelvis. it shattered it. there were hundreds of fragments of bone and a bullet, and they .cted like shrapnel. now, there are very important eygans here, and structures. y e of them is the colon. now, when the colon gets nsjured, bacteria can leak out. there are trillions of bacteria there. they can cause a pocket caused an abscess, that's when a lot of bacteria is growing up. it can be very hard for the antibiotics to reach it. so sometimes you need to go and put a drain. lo you can't do that through interventional radiology, then sometimes you have to go in and do surgery. so brown: so dr., good news is that recently he was moved out e intensive care signaling he was making progress. but he's back there now, in intensive care. what does that say to you, as a doctor? >> well, they probably picked up some evidence of infection. what would that be? a fever, an elevated white count, or a change to his vital signs. something said to them, there may be an infection here. they were worried about that all along.
5:40 pm
they said, you know what, let's move him back to a part of the hospital where we can keep a close eye on him and if something happens we can move quickly. so it's a smart move when you're not sure what's going on. ouat's certainly the case here. there are so many different tssibilities. move him back to the safest part of the hospital. >> brown: dr. jon lapook, thank you so much. surveillance video released today shows the moment new york waty police officer miosotis familia was shot to death in her police vehicle early yesterday. the gunman, alexander bonds, is seen running away with officers in pursuit. bonds was shot and killed not far away. police commissioner james o'neill says familia, a 12-year veteran, was murdered because she was a cop. today, the commissioner swore in 524 new recruits, telling them it's their job to finish the work of officer familia. in dallas today, a memorial was unveiled honoring five officers who were ambushed and killed by a gunman one year ago tomorrow. the officers left 12 children.

5:44 pm
37%, to more than 159,000 in the u.s. last year. tim stevens is the editor-in- chief of cnet's roadshow. so volvo is betting that in a few years, what we want will change? >> volvo is definitely placing a bet here. they're basically saying that consumers in two or three years will want some sort of electric option. maybe not a full-on battery electric car, maybe a car that's a hybrid, but they are going to want that on every new car. >> reporter: volvo will continue to make existing models with gasoline engines until at least 2024. j.b., it has been a rough week for competitor tesla. the volvo announcement is part of what's driven tesla stock down about 15%. >> brown: kris van cleave, thank you. up next on the "cbs evening news," hobby lobby caught t uggling ancient religious artifacts into the u.s. make your body go by forcefully stimulating the nerves in your colon. miralax is different. it works with the water in your body
