♪ happy birthday to you ♪ >> announcer: this is the "cbs overnight news." >> welcome to the overnight news. i'm michelle miller. another day and another wave of pipe bombs delivered to critics of president trump. the latest targets, former vice-president joe biden and actor robert deniro. like the previous bombs, these did not blow up, but federal counterterrorism agents are not taking any chances. jeff pegues begins our coverage. >> reporter: sources tell cbs news investigators are zeroing in on postal facilities in south florida where they believe at least some of packages were mailed. they are going through security camera footage, including of the self-serve kiosks where packages can be mailed, looking to find the person who sent the package

bombs. all arrows pointing to florida, one federal official told cbs news. the florida office address of congresswoman debbie wasserman schultz was listed as the return address of all the packages sent. this morning in delaware, officials found two package bombs addressed to former vice-president joe biden. and before dawn, the new york police department found one bomb addressed to robert deniro at his production company in the tribeca neighborhood. the tip came from a retired new york police detective who was working in deniro's office. new york police commissioner james o'neill. >> the n.y.p.d. and the fbi, we're taking this seriously. we are treating them as live devices. >> reporter: overnight in los angeles, police found a second bomb addressed to democratic congresswoman maxine waters. that was on top of six bombs discovered so far. all of the recipients had been criticized by president trump and many were critical of him. last night in wisconsin, the president said the media was partly to blame. >> the media also has a

responsibility to set a civil tone and to stop the endless hostility and constant negative and oftentimes false attacks. >> reporter: former cia director john brennan who had a package sent to him at cnn's new york office yesterday addressed the president in a tweet, saying, clean up your act. try to act presidential. investigators acknowledge there is likely a political message behind the bombs. >> this is dough mystic terrorism. >> reporter: jerome howard, former homeland security chief for new york, said even if the bombs were not meant to detonate, they made their point. >> my sense of it is they're crude. they were not supposed to explode. but he's trying to ledi somethi that los absolutely real. >> reporter: officials say all ten packages look similar and the devices themselves were made to look like active bombs. they are now being examined at the

tory in quanticoeninat said the have plenty of evidence to look through. we are hearing there was a timing device as part of it, a digital clock, that was connected to a small battery. what does that tell you? >> it tells me there are a lot of leads now because we've got like nine, ten devices now recovered. a typical person doesn't buy ten digital clocks at one time, and so that's good for law enforcement. that would raise, you know, attention to a store owner. >> reporter: postal inspectors have spent days pouring through millions of pieces of mail looking for similar packages. philip bart let is the lead postal inspector in new york. >> i will say in the postal network, we have found nothing in the last eight hours, so what we have so far is what we have. ten parcels. >> reporter: miami-dade police are assisting the fbi in the search of that facility close to miami near the district represented by debbie wasserman

schultz. but investigators caution that they are looking into other facilities as well. so, what does all this mean? well, it suggests that investigators are getting closer to finding out who may be responsible. >> saudi arabia changed its story again about what happened to "washington post" contributor jamal khashoggi. the country's top prosecutor now says khashoggi's killing inside the saudi consulate in istanbul, turkey, was premeditated. previously the saudis said he was killed accidentally in a fist fight. also, cia director gina haspel briefed president trump on evidence she reviewed this week in turkey. megyn kelly's days at nbc are numbered. kelly has been bending over backwards for her remark about wearing black face as part of a halloween costume. starting yesterday, her show went into repeats. jericka duncan reports. >> reporter: just two days after she appeared to defend the use of black face, today several

reports suggest that megyn kelly may soon be leaving nbc. >> good morning, everyone and welcome to the show. >> reporter: kelly did not appear on her show this morning. it was a rerun. >> the staff of her show was told on thursday morning that megyn kelly today, the 9:00 a.m. show, would not be returning with megyn kelly. >> reporter: it was what she said tuesday that got her in trouble. >> what is racist? because truly, you do get in trouble if you are a white person who putsz on black face for halloween or a black person who puts on white face for halloween. when i was a kid that was okay if you were dressing up as a character. >> reporter: the next day she apologized. >> and i want to begin with two words. i'm sorry. i learn that given the history of black face being used in awful ways by racists in this country, it is not okay. >> reporter: but her colleagues at the today show had already taken a stance earlier that morning. >> the fact is, while she apologized to the staff, she owes a bigger apology to folks

>> announcer: this is the "cbs overnight news." >> there are concerns this morning about some of the breakfast cereals we feed to our children. a new study found the herbicide gl glyphosate. >> glyphosate is used in farms across the u.s.. the powerful -- kills weeds. it's been named as carcinogenic to humans. once again, this environmental group is warning that many of the breakfast foods you enjoy could be bad for you. >> there's really no reason consumers should have to worry about whether they're getting a

dose of glie knyphosate with th breakfast every morning. >> reporter: he was talking about a study his group commissioned that found the weed killer glyphosate in dozens of breakfast products. >> we are very concerned that consumers are eating more glyphosate than they know. >> reporter: now a second round of testing shows 28 more samples analyzed contain glyphosate residues. ten samples from general mills cheerios products and 18 samples from quaker products ranging from instant oatmeal to snack bars. 26 of the samples came back with residue levels higher than what the group believes is safe for children. so, what does it mean for you that glyphosate residues are found in such a wide range of products? well, the environmental working group says glyphosate shouldn't be there, that it may not be safe for your health. manufacturers look at it differently. general mills says trace amounts of pesticides are found in the majority of food we all eat, and the company follows the

very strict rule set by the fda and epa who determine the safe levels for food products. quaker told us that any minimal levels of glyphosate that may remain in finished products are significantly below regulatory limits, and well within compliance of the safety standards. but the world health organization says glyphosate is a probable carcinogen in humans and the state of california lists it as a chemical known to the state to cause cancer. >> i find the results of this report concerning. >> reporter: dr. philip landrogen, a pediatrician and one of the experts on environmental health advises parents to move away from brands containing glyphosate and by organic products for their children that do not contain the chemical. >> children are exquisitely vulnerable to toxic chemicals such as glyphosate. even a tiny dose would be harmless to an adult, carries much greater risk to a child. >> monsanto which sells products containing glyphosate says the

study is misleading. it says the chemical is safe and maintains it does not cause cancer. monsanto also says that adults would have to eat huge quantities of these foods every day to exceed the epa's limit fo exposure. >> a lot of high schools take pride in preparing students for life in the computer age, but one school in massachusetts has. it gets students ready for college or life without college. bianna golodryga has that story. >> reporter: what is going on inside is what's truly special. it's a public school with a little more than 1400 students, and along with typical high school classes, 22 vocational and technical areas of study are consolidated into a single campus. including some you won't find anywhere else, like the veterinary clinic.

it's a real-life working veterinary clinic that combines students like daniel with doctors from tufts like kayla. what is the most important aspect of this partnership for you? >> growing up i was always fascinated with animals, so getting experience with them here in high school was the biggest motivation to me. my big dream overall is to open up my own clinic. >> nothing is sugar coat ed in this environment. >> reporter: the doctor who runs the clinic says the hands on experience for the students is unparalleled. >> our high school students are getting trained not only being veterinary care future professionals, but additionally, they are learning how to be good and active citizens by providing veterinary services to their neighbors. >> reporter: worcester tech student body is diverse. more than half are girls, who get their hands dirty under cars and trained to be plumbers. and welders. the school has a credit union, where students work as tellers. there is cosmo to angie with

manicures and facials. in culinary arts, they learn to make food and bake paste risk and they cater as many as 75 events each year. and 86% of worcester tech graduates go on to college. the biotech department uses college-level equipment that allows students to extract and examine their own dna. that same technology helps them solve mock crimes. sophia is a junior and you've been part of this program for a few years. what do you enjoy most about it? >> i think how fascinating the human brain is. >> reporter: and this is a path you want to pursue throughout college? >> yes, very much. i really want to be a pediatrician and specifically develop a program directed at protecting the child's brain. >> reporter: worcester tech is one example of why massachusetts is first in education in the u.s. what are you doing to maintain that number one status? >> we've invested over $500 million in new funding at the state level.

>> reporter: we spoke with governor charlie baker in the school's automotive shop. he says vo tech schools are an important part of what makes massachusetts number one. >> their ability to apply exactly what they have learned in the classroom in a very real world way, really brought sort of a sense of purpose and made a difference. >> reporter: the training they're getting here in this department will do what in the future world that they're in? >> there are a lot of kids doing co-op out of our vo tech schools where they're making over $20 an hour in professions where that skill capability can translate to 80, 90, $120,000 a year if you stick with it. >> reporter: that experience pays off for the community as well. students built a bridge 50 feet long in a nearby historical park. and in advanced engineering,

are you taking the tissue test?

come together for one week to have some fun. no strings attached. as the pop music plays, pop is the one sound that could crush the dreams of these competitors. they've traveled from all across the globe to take part in the world balloon convention. >> oh, my gosh, the world balloon convention is our oscars. it's our academy awards. that's the one where people go when they want to touch greatness. >> yeah, i think we should heat seal the bottom of that. >> reporter: she is a balloon artist in nashville, tennessee. >> should we do them lower? no, i like it higher. >> reporter: and if that sounds like a bizarre job to you, well, you would get along with connie's parents. >> my family wasn't terribly supportive. you're going to be a clown? >> reporter: but the joke was on them. balloon art is big business. high-end parties and corporate clients pay thousands of dollars

for elaborate displays. are you self-taught? >> i picked up a library book in a basketball pumping college. >> reporter: most balloon artists start with a few twists and turns, and you have a dog or hat or sword. my first attempt, connie taught me how to make a flower. >> there you go, and you have a flower. >> reporter: you just de-flowered me. >> scott and i were fooling around last night. i know it's hard to see. >> reporter: when i visited connie a month before the competition, she was working on something much larger, something she couldn't do alone. >> this is the piece that we all agreed we were doing. >> reporter: she had recruited an elite squad of balloon-a-tics from all across the country. >> i looked for very specific talents. so -- >> reporter: sounds like something out of a heist movie. guys, this is connie, i'm putting together a team. when connie's team finally came together in san diego, they

had 27 hours to assemble a large balloon sculpture from scratch. their competition? countries from all over the world. the italians. the japanese. the russians. who all spent thousands of dollars just to attend. again, that is 27 hours straight. so, unless you have 27 people, like taiwan's team, there's not much time to rest. the event's million and a half balloons were free, provided by the pioneer balloon company run by ted and betty flamis, who are true believers in the art. >> you take a very simple product that doesn't look like anything, and then you add magic to it by either air or helium going into it, and all of a sudden it changes character. >> reporter: eventually, the larger than life characters started to take shape. the incredible hulk. a massive wolf.

a15-foot tall and the american team's entry. >> i think that's good. >> reporter: from the little mermaid, a giant ursula the sea witch. are you relieved at this point? is all the work done? >> i am. i'm happy to have had a good night sleep after 27 hours. i haven't stayed up that long since college. >> reporter: once everything was inflated, it's up to judges like sue boler. there are awards for best hat, best small figure, best fashion. >> if they use blings in a creative and unusual way is what they're making technically difficult. have they hidden their mechanics? >> reporter: it's friendly competition. the balloon world is small, and the convention held every two years is a chance to network, and take classes together. >> so, now you want to match that side to this side. >> reporter: but still, the u.s. has never placed a wbc in the large sculpture category, and so any award would be a big deal

for the americans. >> now for the category everyone has been waiting for. >> reporter: when the big night finally arrived. >> the third place winner from the usa is connie. >> reporter: squad was all smiles. the tiger from taiwan won first place. and the russians took second. but it's not going to fit on the plane back home. none of this will. balloons are a temporary medium. the convention ends the way you knew it would. >> 3, 2, 1. >> reporter: with a mass popping. everything that took years of planning is gone in a matter of minutes. and, well, it may be sad to watch. connie says the experience of seeing the smiles makes it all worth it. >> it's joy in a package. and by sharing a little bit of joy in a balloon, that

transcends language. that transcends race. in fact, i tell people all the time, i'm so lucky, i'm like completely blessed because i years of drought,

lined the streets of gresham to pay tribute to their delivery guy. todd loves old tv shows, so they borrowed a bat mobile to drive him into the center of town where they had another surpris >> 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. >> reporter: remember those jokes about the statue? well, those jokes are now solid bronze real. this is a $54,000 likeness. paid for solely with cash and in-kind donations. >> how cool is that? >> thank you for everyone being here for me in gresham, and i love you guys.
