failure. wow, collins wrote back, according to the indictment, how are these results even possible. footage uncovered by cbs news allegedly shows what leaned next. collins on the phone with his son cam ran, illegally sharing news of the disastrous drug trial. the fbi says cameron began dumping his shares of the company and passed the tip to his fiance and her father. when news of the drug failure broke five days later, innate shares dropped 92%. >> donald trump is a movement. >> reporter: collins was the first congressman to endorse then candidate trump. on wednesday, he became the first congressman to be charged with a crime since trump's presidency. >> congressman collins, who, by virtue of his office, helped to write the laws of our nation, acted as if the law didn't apply to him. >> there was a lot of suspicious stock trading activity.

if congress does not object. major garrett is near the trump national golf club in new jersey where the president's on vacation. major, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. there is a washington back story to this move on sanctions. ed royce, he's a california republican, for some time, has been demand being the trump white house use a 1991 u.s. law meant to punish countries that use chemical or bio logical weapons. the trump administration finally moved. in part to appease royce and, if possible, quell election year accusations of going easy on russia. >> it certainly looks like the russians were behind it. >> reporter: more than four months after accusing the kremlin of the nerve agent attack that poisoned this russian born british spy and his daughter, something the russians deny, president trump will now somef the top oligarchs and businesses with close ties to the russian president. only weeks after praising vladimir putin as he stood by his side in helsinki. >> i called him a competitor and

a good competitor he is. and i think the word competitor is a compliment. >> reporter: and again just days ago. >> i got along great with putin. >> reporter: now, more chill in the republican between on again/off again rivals. with the most aggressive white house sanctions yet. that could block russia from purchasing potentially hundreds of millions of dollars in weapons, electronics and avionics. >> we want open lines of communication. >> reporter: the action came the same day senator rand paul hand delivered this letter from president trump to putin, asking for expanding dialogue. >> discussions are incredibly important, diplomacy is important. >> reporter: other top republicans had slammed the president for not standing up to russia. >> if you were really tough with putin, he would not be doing what he's doing. >> reporter: even after mr. trump pushed back on critics with cbs' jeff or. >> you have people that said you should have gone up to him, you should have walked up and started screaming in his face.

we're living in the real world. >> reporter: the president met with senator paul and the white house to discuss his agenda for this moscow trip and approve the letter of introduction paul gave to putin. and the white house is drafting an executive order that may impose sanctions if someone is found, a foreign national that is, guilty of meddling in the midterm elections. as for these sanctions, there could be another round in 90 days if russia doesn't take steps to verify it will not use these kinds of weapons again. >> so major, let me ask you this. president trump's legal team has responded to special counsel mueller' proposal for a presidential interview. what do we know about their counteroffer? >> well, i just spoke to rudy giuliani. the president's lead attorney on this. he now describes himself as more optimistic than he's been in weeks and there can be a resolution that could lead to an interview between president trump and the special counsel naed t w eller. what can and can't be asked.

giuliani told me there's at least a 50/50 chance that that interview could happen sooner rather than later. >> all right, major garrett, e' see. thank you, major. prosecutors have revealed new information about a remote new mexico compound where children allegedly were found with no clean food, no water or electricity. one of the five adults accused of child abuse allegedly trained kids to carry out school ju jericka duncan. >> reporter: authorities raided the compound after a tip there was possibly people there starving. they were looking for an abducted 3-year-old boy. they found the boy's father and 11 other children allegedly living in dire conditions. the two men and three women facing child abuse charges appeared in a new mexico court wednesday for the first time. according to court documents,

when authorities raided their remote northern new mexico compound last week, they found 11 children, clothed in rags, and appearing to not have eaten for days. authorities have been searching for one of the suspects, siraj ibn, who is allegedly taken his son. >> he needs medication, he needs everything. >> reporter: according to the warrant, wahhag told his son's mother he planned to perform an exorcism on his son. investigators found the remains of a young boy at the compound but have not confirmed it's abdul. authorities also found loaded firearms, prosecutors say one of the children told their foster parent, wahhaj had trained them in the use of assault rifles in preparation for future school

shootings. >> there was a shooting range on the west side of the property. >> when you are traveling with women and children, you need to protect yourself. >> reporter: gerard jabril is the father of one of the other suspects, lucas mortman. >> they were five peaceful adult settlers, you know, trying to make a better life for themselves. but they just went about it the wrong way. >> reporter: all five adults pleaded not guilty. wahhag was denied bail. his lawyer told the associated press the school shooting training allegation lacked evidence from prosecutors. his father was alleged to be a possible co-conspirator in the 1993 world trade bombing but he was never charged with any crime. >> thank goodness for that tip that led investigators to the compound in the first place. >> yes, absolutely. >> jericka, thank you.

gun drawn. at some point, heowndexecutes h >>epolice satolen caen he ran ie appears to show hambrick running from the officer before he was shot in the back and head. police later tweeted a picture of a gun they say hambrick was carrying and refused to drop. the nashville fraternal order of police argues hambrick could have shot the officer at any moment. >> it is our firm belief that officer delke acted reasonably under the totality of the circumstances. >> reporter: the nashville mayor david briley called for calm while the investigation continued. >> getting to the bottom of this is important. it's equally important that while we pass time waiting for the investigation to be complete, that we be patient. >> reporter: but the hambrick family believes this is an open and shut case. >> you can see my cousin running for his life. there's no way he's a threat.

no way. and we do want justice served for him. did not deserve it. at all. >> reporter: officer delke has been placed on administrative leave. he wasn't wearing ago body camera and his cruiser did not have a dash board camera. vlad, we reached out to nashville police for comment about officer delke and haven't heard back. >> all right, mark, thank you very much. charlottesville and parts of northern virginia will be under a state of emergency because of a anniversary of a white supremacist rally in the city. one person died in the violent crashes and the city was heavily criticized for its response. a man accused of starting a southern california wildfire that threatened thousands of homes is set to appear in court later today. the so-called holy fire has burned more than 6,000 acres and destroyed 12 buildings. it is one of 18 large fires raging in california right now.

these wildfires have blanketed about one-third of the state. where we stand right now, y o this blaze. earlier this morning, as we were driving in, when it was still dark, some of these ridges look like volcanos erupting. now, there is some good news this morning. the temperature is expected to drop. we've been feeling that this morning. the humidity is expected to rise. all of that expected to help firefighters as they continue to battle this blaze. >> they could use some good news. those firefighters working around the clock. jonathan, thank you. new york city will not give any new licenses for popular ride hailing companies like uber and lyft for one year. the city council vote yesterday makes new york the first major new york city to cap ride sharing permits. uber reported yesterday that supporters of new regulations will help the city study congestion and the impact on traditional taxi drivers. opponents argue the cap will make it harder to move people

"the wall street journal" says the securities and exchange commission is looking into tweets by tesla ceo elon musk. regulators reportedly want to know if musk was truthful when he said he had secured funding for his $72 billion buyout of the electric carmaker. the paper says musk could now face allegations of market manipulation.

you look at that and spend $500. why would you brag about that? >> james corden is right about that. >> i'm gail king, nora and john are off. we begin with this. republican congressman chris collins says he's still running for re-election in november despite facing up to 150 years in prison for alleged financial crimes. he says the charges of conspiracy, securities fraud, wire fraud and lying to the fbi have no merit. collins, his son and the father of his son's fiance have all pleaded not guilty. >> federal prosecutors say june 22nd last year, collins got an e-mail at 6:55 p.m. describing a failed drug trial at a pharmaceutical company where he sits on the board. the information was not public. he allegedly responded 15 minutes later saying, how are these results even possible? court documents show he began trying to contact his son

the epa says its new proposal represents increased regulation. some environmental and public interest groups say the dangers of asbestos are so well known that anything short of a ban is simply not enough. >> i remember vividly, 2003 when my husband alan had a slight persistent cough. >> reporter: linda says the hardest job she ever had was caring for her husband who died from mesotheliommesothelioma, a cancer caused from asbestos exposure. the second hardest has been trying to get the sub stance banned. >> it's ludicrous and i feel criminal. >> reporter: it would mandate epa approval before a business could start manufacturing, importing or processing asbestos. but critics worry it could allow the trump administration to open the door to new uses of the known carcinogen.

>> what on earth new use could we need in the united states? no one in their right mind would ever want to use asbestos again. >> what the epa has done is a stop-gap measure. >> reporter: environmental working group attorney melanie banesh says the epa's risk assessment ignores major existing sources of exposure in homes, schools and workplaces. what's the practical effect of that then? >> the practical effect is it's really cooking the books on the level of risk that epa is able to identify and the less likely it is that the epa will institute a comprehensive ban. >> reporter: epa officials argue their proposal would act as a ban. in a phone interview, the epa deputy assistant administrator nancy beck said without the rule, new asbestos products could go to market today without any government approval. she told us we're putting in place a hammer, a prohibition that doesn't exist today. but critics say the plan falls short. >> epa could also simply ban

those uses and then no one would be allowed to use them. >> the court struck down an epa ban on asbestos in 1989. an epa official has argued they are now focused on regulations that won't be overturned. if you'd like to make a comment on the new proposed rules, the comment period for those rules ends tomorrow. so we have put a link to the comment page on our website. you can let the government hear from you. all our viewers about what do you think about asbestos. should it be banned? what should they be doing? >> so it is banned in a number of countries. >> it's banned in about 55 countries around the world. it's actually surprising to know that it's not banned in the united states. >> i had no idea. >> a lot of people don't. >> viewers can go to cbsnews.com and weigh in. i'm sure a lot of people will. anna. thank you. police in cincinnati are investigating what prompted an off-duty officer to fire his un gt an 1ld gl. authorities say the officer suspected the girl was

♪ ♪ in our morning rounds, a surprising new study finds first time mothers may be able to

safely shorten their pregnancies to avoid complications. the study in the new england journal of medicine found inducing labor at 39 weeks resulted in fewer c-sections compared to waiting for labor to begin naturally at 40 weeks. this contradicts a long-held belief that inducing labor leads to more complications, including c-sections. a typical pregnancy is 40 weeks. researchers also found inducing labor did not increase breathing problems in babies and it lowered mothers' risk of high blood pressure disorders. dr. tara narula joins us at the table. i was quite surprised by reading this. one expert said this could be a game-changer. is this going to be the new normal going forward? >> i think it's going to be an option for sure. as you mentioned, in the past, if a woman went to her o.b. and said, can i have my labor induced early? the answer would have been, for most of them, no. let's wait until you spontaneously go into labor because there was this belief it may increase c-section rates and

increase complications to the baby and the mom. the fact is that about 1 out of 4 women end up having an induction of labor. researchers wanted to know, what are the consequences to the mom and the baby. they took two groups of women. low-risk women, first time moms and one group they induced early at 39 weeks. the other group they allowed to progress to spontaneous delivery. what they found was surprising that the induced group at 39 weeks had lower c-section rates, lower rates of hypertensive complications, lower rates of postpartum infection, and there was less labor pains, and when they looked at the babies, there was really no difference in the babies in terms of negative outcomes or consequences to the babies. >> i really like that less labor pain part. but what is the magic number of 39? >> so 39 weeks is essentially considered full term. after that point, really the benefit of having the baby in longer is really not considered significant. and the lowest fetal mortality

is at 39 weeks. that's why that really was chosen as the number. >> we've seen more and more women have c-sections in this country, whether it's elective or their doctor is telling them that they need to because the baby is in distress. could we actually see that number lower? and what is doctors' reaction to this? >> right now it's about 37%, the c-section rate. that's very high. should be almost half of that. and you know, the issue about why c-sections might be lower in the early induced group, we think could be a couple things going on. the longer the baby is in the fetal size is bigger. that could lead to more c-sections. also the placenta may not work as well. and that makes the baby, the fetus harder to tolerate labor. and then the longer you're pregnant, the more risk the mom is for maternal medical complications and ob complications. so certainly, this makes sense that you may have a lower c-section rate if you deliver earlier. and c-sections come with issues.

it's surgery. there's risks of bleeding, risks of blood clot, infection, scarring to the uterus or in your next pregnancy, it may implant in an ash abnormal location. and you have to stay in the hospital longer. >> if you're pregnant right now, you may want to call your doctor. >> it's worth a discussion. >> based on this study which they reviewed, it's a reasonable option for low-risk women to discuss this with their doctor. and have really a patient centered approach of shared decision making. >> always good to have you here, dr. tara narula. thank you very much. much more news ahead. a push to honor more blockbusters at the oscars is raising questions about race in hollywood. why critics say a new category amounts to a consolation prize like minority led movies like "black panther." plus how your kids can dial disney to get help going to sleep from popular characters. >> and the little league team overcoming long odds and naysayers. >> what do you say to the
