president's strategy is behind this? >> well, anthony, it's not clear that the president planned to ignite this controversy, but since his initial comments on friday, he has insisted this is not about race, and his top advisers say that this isn't a distraction from the president's own agenda. but the white house had planned to focus this week on launching their tax reform proposal. now, since saturday, the president has tweeted just once about taxes, seven times about healthcare, and at least 20 times about sports. and this anthem issue is a divisive one. in a quinnipiac poll taken a year ago, it shows while the majority of americans disapprove of the anthem protests, 63% of white adults disapprove while 74% of black adults do approve. so, the president's core supporters say they love he says what they've been thinking, but to many critics, he's choosing

to divide the country rather than unite it at a critical time. >> mason: margaret brennan, thank you, margaret. north korea's foreign minister says the words president trump has been using amount to a declaration of war. and the north has the right to retaliate by shooting down u.s. bombers, even in international air space. in a cbs news poll out tonight, only 39% of americans approve of the president's handling of north korea, and 53% are concerned he might start an unnecessary war. over the weekend, u.s. military planes flew up the coast of north korea in a show of force. here's national security correspondent david martin. >> reporter: the b-1 bombers and their f-15 fighter escorts flew at night when any north korean jets that attempted to intercept them would be at an extreme disadvantage. and although they flew further north than american combat aircraft have gone in years,

they stayed 200 miles off the coast, out of effective range of north korean anti-aircraft missiles. in other words, there was very little if any risk that north korea could actually shoot down an american bomber. still, north korea has intercepted american aircraft before. in 2003, this north korean mig surprised a u.s. reconnaissance plane conducting a patrol off the coast. but its planes are a decade older now and its air force has been allowed to languish while country's resources into ballistic missiles and nuclear weapons. according to one intelligence report, north korean pilots now get as little as ten flying hours a year. the pentagon said the night flight by the b-1s and f-15s was a response to recent north grrean missile tests as well as a powerful underground nuclear explosion. it was intended as a signal of he many military options the u.s. has against north korea.

one military officer said future bomber flights might come closer to the north korean coast. coder international law, a country's air space extends 12 miles out to sea, but years ago noh korea declared a military zone extending 70 miles off their east coast. the next move is up to kim jong- un, and u.s. intelligence has tercontinental north korea could ballistic missinile n some time in atest the next five to ten days. anthony. >> mason: david martin at the pentagon, thanks. a pair of satellite photos shows the dire situation in puerto rico, which was devastated by hurricane maria. one from july shows the island brightly lit. the other shot today shows puerto rico and surrounding islands in darkness. help is slow to arrive, and many who want to get out are stuck. david begnaud is in san juan. >> where's the army? weere is the army? we're fed up.
