killing of jamal khashoggi. >> they had a very bad original concept. it was carried out poorly. and the cover up was one of the worst in the history of cover ups. >> reporter: but once again, he stressed the importance of the u.s./saudi relationship. >> i want to see the facts first. look, saudi arabia has been a really great ally. they've been one of the biggest investors, maybe the biggest investor in our country. >> reporter: he was responding to turkey's president, erdogan, who today contradicted saudi arabia's story that khashoggi was killed in a fight, calling it instead a, quote, savage murder, and demanding the 18 suspects arrested by saudi arabia be brought to turkey and put on trial. what president erdogan did not mention today is the widely reported audio recording that turkish officials allegedly possess of jamal khashoggi being

tortured and killed inside the saudi arabian consulate. we still do not know if that recording actually exists. saudi arabia is scrambling to carry out damage control. today in the saudi capital riyadh, the king and crown prince mohammed bin salman delivered their personal condolences to khashoggi's gleechling son and brother. but many suspect the crown prince was more involved in khashoggi's killing than saudi arabia will admit. he was applauded today at an international investment conference in a glitzy saudi hotel. at least two dozen business and political leaders have pulled out in disgust over khashoggi's slaying. but many other companies have sent representatives. even as saudi arabia is condemned over the killing of jamal khashoggi, today at that investment conference, deals

worth $50 billion were signed. >> president trump continues to stoke the republican faithful on the campaign trail. he's promising a new 10% middle class tax cut right after the midterm elections next month. and he claims the migrant caravan working its way towards the u.s. border is filled with, quote, middle easterners. weijia jiang has the latest. >> i have very good information. i have very good information. >> reporter: late this afternoon, president trump insisted he has proof to back up the controversial claims he has made about the carry van of migrants heading to the southern border. >> and in that caravan you have some very bad people. you're going to find ms-13. you're going to find middle eastern. you're going to find everything. >> reporter: but when pressed for credible evidence? >> there's no proof of anything. there's no proof of anything. but they could very well be. >> reporter: vice-president mike pence said the president of honduras told him the caravan was financed, at least in part,

by venezuelan leftists, which drew this unsubstantiated allegation from the president. >> and the democrats maybe? and the democrats. >> well -- >> we're going to find out about that. >> reporter: mr. trump also defended his promise of a second round of tax cuts. yesterday he said congress would vote on a new package in mid november. >> we'll do the vote after the election. >> reporter: a few hours later he moved up the deadline. >> it's going to be put in next week. >> reporter: and today said this. >> we're putting in a resolution, probably this week. i think you folks know about it. >> reporter: congressman kevin brady, chairman of the ways and means committee, said in a statement they will work with the white house over the coming weeks to develop an additional 10% tax cut. president trump was also asked to clarify this comment from last night's campaign rally in texas. >> you know what i am? i'm a nationalist, okay? i'm a nationalist. >> reporter: critics called it a

rallying cry for white nationalists. >> i've never heard that. i cannot imagine that. i'm somebody that loves our country. >> the migrant caravan from honduras is barely into mexico and still has more than a thousand miles to go before it hits the u.s. border. adriana diaz is walking with the my grants. >> reporter: regarding the president's comments over the past two days we've spoken to dozens of migrants. we haven't come across anyone from the middle east. we are told the caravan has divided do into two. these people weren't able to make it to the next town up. that is a six-hour walk away. exhausted from the 25-mile trek, they stayed overnight in the to town. they say they have eaten more on the caravan than they do back home. under the sweltering afternoon sun, the caravan rumbled to a start again monday. it took more than seven hours to walk 25 miles. some were only in sandals.

others hitched rides on whatever they could, even oil tankers, no matter how risky. this is proof of the danger of this journey. a man has fallen from a truck. he landed here. you can still see his blood on the street. police have just moved his body as we were passing. we saw him being covered. they want to reach tijuana, a u.s. border crossing still roughly 2000 miles away. they are surviving with help from local mexicans, bringing clothes, food and water to the road side. there's generosity all around. he's paralyzed, gave his only pair of shoes to a friend he made on the journey. it's because of him, the friend with the strength. the people here are supporting him. he's the chauffeur. before sunrise we met 19-year-old cristian who asked us not to show his face. he says he lived in texas since the age of 2 as an undocumented

immigrant but was deported to honduras this year on a drug charge. >> the first day i ever got deported to honduras, i went to the street. that was my first time seeing somebody and getting killed. you stay inside your house. >> reporter: you lock yourself at home? >> yes, ma'am. >> reporter: you say yes, ma'am like a texas boy. >> well, i was raised in texas all my life. >> reporter: a lot of people in the u.s. are worried about criminals coming to the u.s. you have a record. >> well, i know i got a record, but i'm not those type of people that going to go damage people's life. most of these people out here ain't criminals. most of the people are running away from criminals in their country. >> reporter: we understand that some of these people may stay here for the day to rest. as we mentioned, the government here in this town was prepared nor them. they even brought in port-a-potties. you can see the lines. migrants estimate they have another month and a half to go to get to the u.s. border. the last caravan that tried in

>> announcer: this is the "cbs overnight news." >> falconry, the art of hunting with birds of prey originated thousands of years ago in central asia. hunters there still locked their golden eagles into the sky in a strange partnership of bird and man. we say man because, until recently, all the eagle hunters were men. now one of the best is a young woman from oklahoma. scott pelley has her story for "60 minutes." >> reporter: the mongolian step is the greatest expanse of grassland unaltered by human kind. it endures because human

existence has narrow odds between the widest climate extremes on earth. 104 degrees in summer, 50 below in winter. nomads depend on the animals that yield nearly all of their food, fiber, clothing and fuel. and one of the oldest bonds in nature is an alliance of survival among hunters, horses, and golden eagles. >> this is the most ancient form of falconry in the world. this is where it all began. it's the cradle. so several thousands years ago, we don't know precisely when, a man saw an eagle catch a rabbit or a fox, and had the ingenious idea to hunt in partnership with it. it blows my mind that it's even real. it's like something out of lord of the rings, but you can do it. >> reporter: lauren mcgou was in high school when she dedicated her life to raptors.

she traveled with us to the place she calls the cradle. 6000 miles led us to the capital of ulan batar. ♪ ♪ this civilization conquered the known world in the 13th century. the mongals ranged from asia to europe. the largest contiguous empire of all time. from here, we flew another 800 miles to where mongolia, russia, china and kazakhstan meet. this was the end of the road, but not the end of our journey. we crossed the open step. passed walled camels with two humps, a vanishing species, with only about 1,000 left in the world. our destination was a camp of nomads, people who introduced

lauren mcgou to the golden eagle. they hadn't seen her in two years. >> it feels like i never left. just in a few minutes of seeing everybody, such a magical place. >> reporter: now, how did a woman from oklahoma end up out here in mongolia? >> well, i read a book on falconry and it's like the fire was lit. i just knew i had to do it. and as i was researching, i went to the library and i found this old book that had black and white photos of eagle hunters from mongolia. so, you know, this beautiful shaggy horse and this man with a giant eagle and a fox pelt on his horse, and it just looked like the most incredible thing. i thought, i have to, i have to see it. i have to do it. >> reporter: at the age of 17, her father, a former air force stealth pilot, brought her to mongolia.

lauren returned five years later with funding from a full bright scholarship. then she earned a ph.d. based on her work with the eagle hunters. >> these are the people that can talk to animals because they have relationships with goats, sheep, horses, camels, eagles. they have intimate knowledge of where snow leopards are, and foxes are. there's no agriculture because the land an airable. they ingeniously learned to dough mess at this callan malz and built relationships with wild animals. >> reporter: it's a relationship she learned from people who endure the life of 19th century ranchers. they are k aerks sarks aks who makeup 4% of mongolians. they have no running water, no electricity. they survive on meat and milk and burned dung as fuel. the nomads live in clusters of a half dozen families or so. the boys mind the flocks while the men ride in search of foxes

to make furs for subzero survival. in all the years you've been doing this, what have you learned about these animals? [ speaking foreign language ] >> reporter: a hunter named chukan gave us an answer we never saw coming. they said in the old times if a horse makes your name famous once a year, the eagle makes your name famous 100 times a year. if i gift to people many foxes, they will say it was chukan who gifted us the foxes. eagle hunting is more about your name being spread far and wide among the people. so, if eagle hunting is about the ego of men, we wondered how they saw lauren mcgow. did you have any doubt that a woman could hunt with an eagle? oh, he said, we've never had a female eagle hunter. >> reporter: why did your brother take her in?

[ speaking foreign language ] >> reporter: she came from a world far away. she had her mind-set on learning to hunt with the eagle. her motivation came from deep in her heart. we just couldn't say no. when lauren first came to mongolia, it took her two weeks to catch an eagle she could call her own. how do you catch a golden eagle? >> yes. so, you have a dead hair that you layout with a crow or a raven, stakes nearby, and you encircle it in a net. so the eagle on migration looks down and see thz hair that only a crow has possession of and it thinks, oh, i can easily bully that crow out of that rabbit and have a free meal to myself. so, it comes in and when it tries to grab the dead rabbit, the net enfold around the eagle. >> reporter: the eagle is taught to feed at the hand of the hunter. and as long as the meals are

regular, the eagles are calm, content, and come back for more. they perched on the hunter's arm with a rawhide leash called a jest tied to their legs. they train the birds with a fox pelt tugged by a rope. this is what happens when the eagle zeros in on a fox. after the bird makes the kill, the hunters ride in, strip the pelt, and give the meat to the eagle. it's a technique well over a thousand years old. we may not know exactly when it started, but you don't have to be here in mongolia very long to figure out why it began. in an area as vast as this, with game so rare, it helps to have a hunting partner that can see seven times better than a human, and cover all of this at about 50 miles an hour.

what is that like? the eagles were kind enough to show us. we custom-built a soft rubber camera harness and learned how to fly. golden eagles are abundant all around the northern hemisphere. in terms of survival as a species, conservationists call golden eagles an animal of least concern. >> this is a ten-pound bird, which, don't be fooled if that doesn't sound like a lot. they have hollow bones and they're mostly feathers. ten pounds on a bird is an enormous bird. they have a six-foot wing span. they usually have lovely amber

eyes. and the name golden eagle derives from the beautiful golden feathers on their nape. >> reporter: around the neck. >> yes, around the neck. >> they're incredibly effective at killing, which is what they're built for. i mean, they're a modern day velocaraptor, a perfect product of evolution. i will never be tired of a golden eagle flying. >> you can see the full report on our website, cbs nuds.com. the cbs overnight news will be right back.

10% raise amounts to about 50 extra dollars a week. >> it's so far below, you know what other professionals would make. >> reporter: we first met teacher laura last spring. and again during the statewide walk out. because individual districts decide how to use state money, mayor only received a 5% raise. she's among the estimated 120% -- 20% of teachers who work to supplement their income. >> to not feel like i need to work a part-time job, the raise would have to be substantial. >> reporter: mayor says one way to see a change is for state leaders to raise taxes. >> everybody i know says teachers need to be paid more. and they truly feel that. but real change of people in position to do it is not happening. >> reporter: there is a disconnect? >> yeah. we put in so much of our time and effort and love and our self

into children and into education and into our school. and, you know, for the government, they need to be putting that back into us. >> reporter: but until there are
