accidental nuclear war. this is the "cbs evening news." >> mason: good evening. i'm anthony mason. and this is our western edition. the atlantic ocean tonight is an alphabet soup of storms-- j, l, and m. hurricane jose, tropical depression lee, and hurricane maria. maria is the one posing the biggest threat. a category 4 hurricane, it's aiming for caribbean islands that took a beating earlier this month from hurricane irma. eric fisher is chief meteorologist at our cbs station wbz. how is it looking, eric? >> reporter: we'll start with the storm we've been tracking for two weeks, which is jose. it looks like a nor'easter. it's starting to lose some of the tropical characteristics. the track keeps it just off shore, but this will produce a lot of surf, rip current risk, and some strong winds near the coastline, not a worst-case storm here.

the storm that has gone under rapid intensification these last 24 hours is maria. it was a tropical storm yesterday afternoon. now it's a category 4 hurricane, and we can look right in that eye. it cleared out this afternoon, a pinhole eye that is bearing down in dominica. that eye likely will cross right over dominica tonight. then we track off to the north and west. this may make landfall on puerto rico early on wednesday. it would be the first cat 4 there since the 1930s, and preparations should be under way for a very destructive storm in puerto rico, as well as parts of the virgin islands. after that, we track it through the bahamas and off the eastern seaboard by sunday. but right now hurricane warnings include puerto rico, the virgin islands, a hurricane watch extends to the dominican republic. anthony, jose may impact the path heading head next week. >> mason: st. thomas is one of the u.s. virgin islands under a hurricane watch.

david begnaud was there. >> reporter: unless you're with the military, the only way to get to st. thomas is by boat or helicopter. when we got close to the airport, you could see the vast devastation from irma. as soon as we landed we saw an elderly woman being evacuated. emt jacob bradley from arkansas told us all the critically ill patients are being airlifted out of the hurricane's path. >> it's been bad. we've had six patients laying in a restaurant because we couldn't get them to a hospital. >> reporter: even bradley and the other first responders are leaving. >> i would say it compares to katrina, definitely, if not worse. >> reporter: as you ride around the island, we found a lot of people who said, listen, i stayed for irma, i'm going to stay again for maria, but we have come across groups of people who said there is no way i'm riding out another storm. like dana neal. >> it's horrible over there. there is not a leaf. every tree is bent, buildings, houses, businesses, everything

is devastated. >> reporter: but others like ken roy aren't leaving. >> we have paradise, but this is what we have to go through. i've been here before, done it before. i'm going to do it again. >> reporter: chelsea cesaro and her boyfriend breedy have been trying to find a way out for two days now. >> i'm desperate to get out of here. so i'm trying to be as patient as possible, but it's hard not to give up. >> reporter: we have made it test by the way,-- maria has upgraded to i category 5 hurricane, extremely dangerous, winds up to 126 o-- 160 miles per hour. >> mason: david begnaud, thanks, david. police in london are questioning two suspects in friday's subway bombing. 30 people were hurt when the detonator exploded, but not the main charge. charlie d'agata is following this. >> reporter: caught on security cameras, the suspected bomber carrying the freezer bag with a bucket bomb that was found on

the subway 90 minutes later. he's thought to be an 18-year- old iraqi orphan, one of two war refugees cared for by a foster couple now at the center of this investigation. the other suspect, identified by british media as 21-year-old yahyah faroukh from syria. the police won't confirm his name. faroukh's facebook page shows his journey from damascus in 2012 and the smugglers boat in which he crossed the mediterranean from egypt. there's nothing to suggest any extremist views. >> police. >> reporter: over the weekend, anti-terror police stormed the property of robert and penelope jones, who opened their home to both men. they have been honored by the queen for their work caring for 268 foster children over 40 years. neighbor stephen griffiths has known the couple his entire life. >> they are role models, simple as that. they'd do anything for anyone.

>> reporter: nobody knew they were living near what may have been a bomb factory. that footage appears to have been shot by that video camera, right here just a few steps in the back of the house. the relationship between the two men isn't clear, nor is why they may have planted that bomb. the metal police cordon is set up outside the foster home. forensic teams are still busy inside. now, neighbors here told us police visited this house several times in the past few weeks leading up to friday's subway bombing. anthony? >> mason: charlie d'agata in surrey, england. thank you, charlie. president trump makes his first address to the united nations general assembly tomorrow in something of a warm-up today, he called on the u.n. to cut costs and focus more on people than bureaucracy. and he pledged that the united states will be a partner in the u.n.'s work. in a meeting with french president emmanuel macron, mr. trump recalled being his guest

at the bastille day parade and said he may do something like it on pennsylvania avenue on july 4th. russia's military made a dramatic show of force today with its biggest training maneuvers in years. elizabeth palmer had a front-row seat. >> reporter: these may be war games, but the russians weren't. this live-fire display today south of st. petersburg is part of the much larger zapad military exercise. the russians are repelling a fictional invasion, and the enemy is not so subtly being called "the western coalition," a clear reference to nato. of course these exercises are a chance for the russians to give their men and their modernized weapon systems a real workout, but they're also spectacles designed to be seen and to send

a message around the world, but especially to the united states and its nato allies. the message says: don't mess with us. and to underline it, president putin even skipped the u.n. general assembly in new york to be here along with 110 russian and international journalists. zapad is being played out beyond russia westward into neighboring belarus, which put thousands of russian soldiers nose to nose with beefed-up nato troops, including americans. exactly how many thousand russian and belarussian soldiers? well, nato says up to 100,000. the russians say just under 13,000. and the truth probably lies somewhere in the middle. but a lack of russian transparency has added to nato jitters. that along with the fact that russia has been on a $70 billion military spending spree, and it shows. if this display has the impact

russia hopes, they believe it will be money very well spent. elizabeth palmer, cbs news, lushky artillery base, russia. >> mason: federal investigators are looking into other, more subtle ways in which the russians are targeting the u.s. jeff pegues spoke with a journalist who once worked for a web site that is at the center of allegations of russian meddling in last year's election. >> they wanted information about the way things work there. >> reporter: in the eyes of u.s. investigators, american journalist andrew feinberg was on the inside of the russia propaganda machine, f.b.i. agents interviewed feinberg for two hours on september 1st about his former employer, the russian web-based media outlet sputnik. what did they want to know? >> they wanted to know how i ended up there, you know, who paid me, who signed my checks, what a typical day was like, who i took my orders from.

they wanted to know everything. >> reporter: according to this declassified report issued in january, u.s. intelligence analysts concluded sputnik was part of the massive russian intelligence campaign to spread misinformation during the 2016 election. investigators believe there was a combination of covert intelligence operations, paid social media trolls and state- funded media, all of which is now under investigation by special counsel robert mueller. sputnik did not respond to numerous requests for comment but recently told yahoo news it was a news organization dedicated to accurate news reporting. is it russian propaganda? >> yes. >> reporter: feinberg took the job believing he would be allowed to report freely, but after four months, he was fired, he says, for refusing to do a story he thought was wrong. sputnik alleges it was over his performance, but feinberg says he has proof of meddling by moscow in the 6,000 e-mails he

handed over to the f.b.i. >> they only will run a story when it meets a certain criteria, that the angle that the story takes is one that meets their world view. >> reporter: the world view of vladimir putin? >> well, that's where the money is coming from. >> reporter: the f.b.i. would not comment. meanwhile, the justice department recently asked another russian-owned media organization, rt america, to register as a foreign agency. rt tells cbs news tonight that any claims that it engages in political activity are "entirely baseless." anthony? >> mason: jeff pegues. thank you, jeff. house minority leader nancy pelosi was shouted down today by dozens of protesters as she held a news conference in san francisco to urge passage of the dream act. >> you don't know what you're talking about.

>> mason: the dream act would protect roughly 700,000 undocumented immigrants brought to the u.s. as children from deportation. the protesters said that's not good enough. they want a path to citizenship for 11 million undocumented immigrants. people who live near the old exide battery plant in los angeles are demanding state help. nearly 1,000 homes in the area have soil with lead contamination and other toxins, but there may not be enough money to clean it up. here's mireya villarreal. >> reporter: for more than a year, crews have been cleaning up some of the most hazardous land in los angeles, where toxic levels of lead have seeped into the soil. generations of children have played in maria ortega's front yard, unaware they were at risk. >> i was very alarmed and concerned. it's nothing to play around with. >> reporter: about five miles south, carlos jimenez's yard also tested positive for lead, but according to the state, it may never be decontaminated

because of a budget shortfall. >> i'm frustrated. i hope they come back to the rest of us and give us a chance to have our houses cleaned up, as well. >> reporter: before closing, the exide technologies plant recycled car batteries for 70 years, spewing toxic lead, benzene, and arsenic into the air slowly poisoning these properties. now a recently released report confirms only 25% of homes will be cleaned. deputy director mosen nazemi is in charge with dealing with the $76 million clean-up budget. >> it's not to say we're not going to address... >> reporter: there's just not enough money to clean all the homes affected. >> that's correct. there's not enough money to clean up 10,000 homes. >> reporter: 98% of tested yards came back with lead levels above the state's strict health standard of 80 parts per million. these levels of lead are known to cause brain damage and stunt growth in children. but instead of using state

standards, the department of toxic substances control is using a federal standard of 400 parts per million to prioritize who gets help. l.a. county supervisor hilda solis says the state is failing this community. >> this goes way beyond flint michigan now. you're talking about the clean- up that has been so lax, so the oversight has been so lax. there is a disregard for the community, and that to me is unacceptable. >> reporter: this home right here tested positive for high levels of lead, but the family doesn't know if or when they will get any help cleaning up. this is a priority yard. this one is already on the list to get a cleanup later on in the month. this kind of hopscotching has frustrated people living in this predominantly latino neighborhood. many are planning to protest in front of the headquarters of the state's clean-up agency tonight. anthony. >> mason: 10,000 homes contaminated. incredible. mireya, thank you. coming up next on the "cbs evening news," the fatal police shooting of a college student in atlanta.

>> reporter: it's that kind of impulsive decision making during youth that prompted today's report, which suggests pediatricians should counsel adolescents to think carefully before getting a tattoo, because removal is difficult, expensive and only partially effective. >> anywhere from four to 20 treatments. >> reporter: dermatologist dr. eric schweiger. >> i would say take a six-month waiting period to make sure you really want it. >> reporter: a lot of teenagers don't want to wait six minutes much less six months. do you think that's realistic? >> i think we can try to get the message across. and if you still want it, be careful where you put it on your body, and select the right tattoo parlor that's hygienic and decreases the chance of getting infection. >> reporter: hygienic means as clean as a dentist office. use disposable gloves, new sterile needles and fresh, unused ink. and kids need to be told about possible complications including bleeding, scarring, and infection.

petrov knew the u.s. wouldn't start a war with just five missiles. acting on gut instinct, he reported the alert as a system malfunction. he was right. a satellite had mistaken the sun's reflection on clouds as a missile launch. in 2006, petrov received an award from the united nations. walter cronkite shook his hand. >> what a privilege to meet you, the man who saved the world. >> reporter: petrov was a hero in the west, but the soviet military reprimanded him for not filling out his logbook. today his son confirmed stanislav petrov died in may. he was 77. spasiba, comrade petrov. thank you. that's it for the "cbs evening news." i'm anthony mason. thanks for watching. good night. captioning sponsored by cbs captioned by media access group at wgbh access.wgbh.org
