5:35 pm
generations, if not more. >> reporter: right next door is this one-acre piece of land left to yvette gaytan by her father. both neighbors are suing the trump administration. >> i'm not fighting him, i'm fighting his idea of what he thinks we need. >> reporter: the administration is not commenting on the lawsuits, but the border is still a top priority. on saturday, top defense officials toured el paso testing surveillance equipment and even firing border patrol weapons. what sort of ramifications does this wall have for this facility and for this entire area? >> well, the border wall does not make us more safe. it doesn't prevent anyone from coming. it creates a clear zone for them to do so. >> reporter: marianna trevino- wright is with the national butterfly center, a facility that could lose about 70 acres of land. a lawsuit they filed back in 2017 to stop the wall was recently dismissed. is there a fear that this might be what's in store for other landowners who are now in the
5:36 pm
same boat that you were before? >> i think it's a very real possibility. and they should be prepared for the worst. >> reporter: so why fight for it? >> because it means everything to me, to my kids. my son saw my dad as more of a father than as a grandfather, and to know that they're going to lose the last bit that we have of him is, it's not easy. >> reporter: mireya villarreal, cbs news, south texas. >> begnaud: the highly anticipated second summit between president trump and north korean leader kim jong-un takes place this week in vietnam. the president leaves for hanoi tomorrow, kim jong-un is on a train heading there. and our ben tracy is already in hanoi. >> reporter: kim jong-un left north korea saturday on his now famous green and yellow armoured train. he was given quite the sendoff for an expected two-day train ride to vietnam, a flight would take about three hours. in a news report, north korea state media finally acknowledged that kim is actually coming to the summit.
5:37 pm
hanoi is branding itself as "the city for peace," and the stakes at this summit seem higher than when president trump and kim met eight months ago in singapore. that summit produced a thin and vaguely worded document promising to work towards the denuclearization of the korean peninsula. >> the meeting is set. he's looking forward it to it, i'm looking forward to it. we've made tremendous progress. >> reporter: despite the president's claims, there's been no actual progress on denuclearization. administration advisors admit the u.s. and north korea have yet to even agree on a definition of the term. north korea has not launched a missile or tested a nuclear device in more than 14 months, but there is evidence the regime is still producing nuclear fuel and working on its weapons program. >> with the second summit, all eyes are going to be on what we call "roadmap." what steps have they mapped out on both sides to not only offer concessions, but to gain some
5:38 pm
commitment and promises on denuclearization in return? >> reporter: meanwhile, hanoi is embracing its moment in the diplomatic spotlight. there are, of course, t-shirts for sale. but for those who want to go all in, there's also the option of a summit-style hairdo, trump or kim, take your pick. when kim jong-un arrives here in hanoi on monday, he is going to meet with vietnamese officials and is expected to tour some factories nearby. diplomats from both the u.s. and north korea are also in the city hashing out last minute details for their summit. ben tracy, cbs news, hanoi. >> begnaud: a programming note, jeff glor is going to anchor our coverage of the summit in hanoi this week. it starts tomorrow on the "cbs evening news." pope francis today ended a landmark summit on the roman catholic church's sex abuse scandal by calling abusive clergy "tools of satan." but the pontiff also repeated old promises. he offered no solid remedies and that disappointed a lot of
5:39 pm
victims and members of the faithful. seth doane is at the vatican. >> reporter: pope francis called clerical sex abuse "an evil that undermines the church's credibility." "the church will never seek to hush up or not take seriously any case," he vowed. the pontiff today offered a best practices to use as guidelines in developing legislation for the church, ideas like training and seminaries and supporting victims. >> i'm feeling really dismayed. >> reporter: phil saviano was one of the dozens of survivors of clerical sex abuse to meet with organizers on the eve of the summit. he could not believe the pope's speech today. >> it felt like i had been duped, because earlier in this week i had expressed a degree of cautious optimism. after the survivor meeting, i really felt that they were listening to us. >> reporter: saviano, who was massachusetts, is featured in the oscar-winning hollywood film "spotlight." >> this is big.
5:40 pm
this is not just boston. >> reporter: nearly two decades after boston's crisis, saviano says it's deja vu. if this was not an exercise in getting things right, what was it? >> it was a very expensive publicity stunt. >> reporter: father thomas reese is a senior analyst with "religion news service." >> the pope needed to hit a homerun and he didn't. >> reporter: rules are already in place for priests. so one of the big questions of the summit was how to close the loopholes in the laws for the higher-ranking bishops accused of abusing or covering up. >> how do we hold accountable bishops? that's what american people are- - where is the system? how do we punish bishops that don't do what they're supposed to do? >> reporter: do we have any new answers? >> not, not at this meeting. >> reporter: tonight, david, the vatican is saying there will be followup. we are told to expect a document tightening sex abuse laws inside vatican city state. and a handbook for bishops about how to handle abuse. >> begnaud: americans are waiting for that followup. thank you, seth.
