capito said, "i did not come to washington to hurt people." maine's susan collins agreed. >> i believe it would cause the insurance markets to go into turmoil, and i don't think it is the right way to proceed. >> reporter: she's got back-up from the non-partisan congressional budget office, which determined that a 2015 repeal bill with no replacement would have pushed 18 million people off insurance within a year. the c.b.o. says that this approach decimates the individual market. >> this may not be a viable option, but we all voted for it before. so repealing we're all for. replacing we're all over the board. >> reporter: so all over the board that two replacement plans are now in the dustbin. senate moderates opposed the deep medicaid cuts, while conservatives said too much of obamacare was being left in place. >> well, we'd like to see the senate move on something. >> reporter: under pressure today from the house and the white house... >> and congress needs to do their job now.

>> reporter:...senate leader mitch mcconnell announced he will hold a vote to repeal obamacare without a replacement even though he knows it can't pass. if that vote fails, do you then begin working with democrats? >> we'll have to see what happens. we will have demonstrated that republicans by themselves are not prepared at this particular point to do a replacement. >> kill that bill! >> reporter: democrats said it was proof grassroots opposition works. on twitter they hailed everyone who sent letters, made calls, or attended a town hall. massachusetts senator ed markey. >> it's a great day. it's a great victory for the healthcare of the american people. >> reporter: the g.o.p. chair of the senate health committee announced this afternoon that he will soon begin holding hearings on ways to stabilize the individual insurance market, and that is a big change, because up until now, republicans have not been willing to consider changes

to obamacare that do not involve repeal. anthony? >> mason: nancy cordes at the capitol. thank you, nancy. over at the white house, the president threatened to let obamacare fall apart and put the blame on the democrats. here's chip reid. >> i would say i'm disappointed in what took place. >> reporter: president trump interrupted a lunch with afghan war veterans to vent his frustration over the failed republican healthcare bill. >> i'm sitting in the oval office right next door, pen in hand, waiting to sign something. >> reporter: he pointed the finger of blame primarily at democrats. but that's a difficult argument to make when republicans control the white house and both houses of congress, and after he promised again and again that he would get it done. >> we get rid of obamacare, and we have a great life altogether. you're going to have such great healthcare at a tiny fraction of the cost. and it's going to be so easy.

we're going to get this passed through the senate. i feel so confident. >> reporter: but today he appeared to have given up hope of passing anything. >> and i think we're probably in that position where we'll just let obamacare fail. i'm not going to own it. i can tell you the republicans are not going to own it. >> reporter: the problem with that is that millions of people, including many trump supporters, depend on the law for their healthcare. senate democratic leader chuck schumer accused the president of trying to sabotage the law. >> he is actively, actively trying to undermine the healthcare system in this country using millions of americans as political pawns in a cynical game. >> reporter: the president said today that the solution is to get more republicans elected to congress, but even if he can accomplish that, that new congress wouldn't be in place until the year 2019. anthony? >> mason: chip reid at the white house, thanks. it turns out this meeting between president trump and russian president vladimir putin at the g-20 summit in hamburg earlier this month was not the only one.

>> there is nothing there. >> reporter: last week the president's son said he agreed to the meeting because he was led to believe the kremlin had negative information about hillary clinton. instead he has said the russians really wanted to talk about reversing sanctions imposed by the obama administration. the meeting took place at the behest of the agalorov family. aras agalorov is a russian billionaire oligarch with close ties to russian president vladimir putin. kaveladze was the agalorov's man in the trump tower meeting. in 2013 on the eve of the miss u.s.a. pageant, he attended this dinner in las vegas with the agalorovs as they dined with mr. trump. kaveladze's name has surfaced before. in 2000, a government report said a businessman later identified as kaveladze had set up hundreds of accounts for russian brokers in two u.s. banks. the report said the accounts were used to possibly launder over $1 billion from russian and eastern european companies.

kaveladze was not charged in that case. his lawyer said at the time that he did nothing illegal, and he accused the g.a.o. of a witch- hunt. anthony? >> mason: jeff pegues. thank you, jeff. the minneapolis police chief is calling for an outside investigation into the shooting death of a yoga teacher by an officer saturday night, but the department has said next to nothing about how it happened. jamie yuccas now on what she's learned. >> reporter: 40-year-old justine damond, a yoga instructor and life coach, was described by many who knew her as a bright light. >> what i wanted to do was make miracles the norm. >> reporter: today damond's father spoke from australia. >> we only ask that the light of justice shine down on the circumstances of her death. >> reporter: the officer who fired the fatal shot is mohamed noor, a second-year officer with the minneapolis police department, the first somali- american officer hired for the fifth precinct. his hiring was seen as a way to build trust between an immigrant

here's seth doane. >> reporter: the trial has the hallmarks of a tv crime drama. two former administrators of the vatican's bambino gesu hospital are accused of embezzling nearly $500,000 in hospital funds to pay for the renovations of a sprawling 3,200 square foot apartment belonging to cardinal tarcisio bertone. giuseppe profiti, the former hospital president, had defended the scheme, saying the money was an investment because the cardinal's apartment would be used for hospital fund-raisers. bertone, the vatican's number two under pope benedict, was not charged and insists he knew nothing about the diverted funds. >> a scandal like this really plays to the stereotype of out- of-touch arrogant cardinals growing fat on the wealth of the church. >> reporter: candida moss, a professor of theology at the university of notre dame, says no less than the credibility of pope francis is at stake. >> if we don't see results in this trial, if we don't see a

prosecution, people will wonder if francis is really serious about financial reforms. >> reporter: the hospital is one of europe's leading pediatric centers. first lady melania trump paid a visit there in may. recently pope francis said one of the worst cancers in the hospital is corruption. this vatican court proceeding takes place, anthony, as pope francis is trying to tidy up the finances of the vatican. the next hearing will be in early september. >> mason: seth doane at the vatican. thanks, seth. late last night the trump administration grudgingly confirmed that iran is complying with the terms of the international nuclear deal. hours later it accused iran of stirring up trouble in other ways in the middle east and slapped new economic sanctions on 18 iranian individuals and groups. here's white house and senior foreign affairs correspondent margaret brennan. >> it violates the spirit of the deal. we will look at it and see whether it violates the letter of the deal and we will act

accordingly. >> reporter: iran's top diplomat, javad zarif, said new sanctions announced today by the trump administration are poisoning already strained relations between the two countries. at stake is the 2015 deal to freeze iran's nuclear program that president trump has repeatedly criticized as rewarding a u.s. enemy. >> it's one of the worst deals i've ever witnessed. >> reporter: president trump wants to scrap the deal or renegotiate. president trump said it's a bad deal for americans and that there are flaws in it. >> it isn't. it isn't. well, no deal is completely acceptable to everybody. >> reporter: you're saying iran is not willing to negotiate? >> this is a multilateral deal approved by the security council. it's not a bilateral deal to be withdrawn from or to be renegotiated. >> reporter: the white house accuses iran of supporting terrorists in syria and iraq, but zarif disputed that and placed blame on u.s. allies like saudi arabia.

>> these are the countries that are producing terrorists for you, and the united states is going after iran. i don't know why. >> reporter: another irritant, the travel ban on six majority muslim countries, including iran. >> what the united states has done against the iranian people over the past several months has been really repugnant. >> reporter: you think it's up to president trump to show some goodwill? >> i certainly think it is up to the u.s. government to stop sending all these hostile signals. >> reporter: there are also at least three americans detained in iran, which zarif acknowledged isn't helping. the most recent is a princeton scholar who was given a ten-year sentence for what the u.s. calls "fabricated charges." anthony? >> mason: margaret, thanks. coming up next on the "cbs evening news," mystery surrounds the death of a ten-year-old, a victim of the opioid epidemic. opioid epidemic.
