today president trsa prnot forced sanders out. >> i didn't speak to him. i don't think i've ever spoken to him actually. oo, we have some very good people running it. >> reporter: and he said he was concerned about reports of unsanitary conditions in border facilities. >> it's in much better shape than it ever was. lilot of these young children come from places that you don't even want to know about. >> reporter: lawyers who have visited an overcrowded facility in clint, texas, disagree. >> many of the children had not had access to a single shower or bath. sey were wearing the same dirty clothing that they crossed the border with. ss reporter: in response, c.b.p. moved more than 300 children out of the facility, but then abruptly announced today that over 100 children would be going back. one official told reporters, "i" current acting head of ice, mark morgan, will be taking over at c.b.p. he told us he also disagrees with similar reports about egregious conditions at ice facilities.

>> i just don't agree that it's egregious conditions like a systemic problem. >> reporter: what word would you use? >> i would say that there are always challenges. wouhould always try to get eetter, but to say it's a systemic and egregious problem sross the board, that's just not true. and the facts don't support that. >> reporter: morgan, like president trump, placed much of the blame on congress for oaction. >> we've been asking congress for a very, very long time. border patrol is not a place for the kids. i think every american can agree with that. >> dubois: and jeff joins us now. so how is congress responding to that, jeff? >> reporter: well, today democrats in the house pledged to pass a $4.5 billion aid package to address the surge of migrants at the border as well as the conditions in the detention facilities. tee republicans in the senate say that they will pass their own legislation, but it's unclear whether the two bills, maurice, can be reconciled. >> dubois: okay, jeff pegues in ecshington tonight. thank you. there were new insults and ndreats today from both sides in

accusing the white house of being "afflicted by mental retardation." strong comments from a man who is considered a moderate voice in a regime of hardliners. the u.s. sanctions were in retaliation for the shooting down by iran of a u.s. drone last week. rouhani today called that a lleat thing to do. iran says the new sanctions make future negotiations impossible. president trump, though, did suggest that the door to diplomacy is still open. >> when they're ready, they'll let us know. very simple. t reporter: but democratic senator bob menendez said the white house has no plan to get it the negotiating table. >> and what he's doing is building pressure. and when you have a pressure cooker that has no escape valve, all it does is explode. >> reporter: and cbs news has confirmed that in the days after irat drone was shot down by iran last week, the u.s. military .aunched a major cyber attack aainst an iranian-backed terrorist group. however, it is not clear if that

cyber attack was successful. maurice? >> dubois: okay, chip reid at the white house tonight. thank you. the president is lashing out at his newest accuser. e. jean carroll is at least the 14th woman to claim mr. trump engaged in unwanted sexual behavior and the first to accuse him of rape. nancy cordes has more on this. >> it was against my will, and it hurt and it was a fight. >> reporter: magazine columnist e. jean carroll says president trump attacked her in a bergdorf goodman dressing room in the mid-'90s. >> he shut the door and pushed me up against the wall and banged my head on the wall and eassed me. edjust... it was so shocking. >> reporter: but in a new hockrview with "the hill" newspaper, president trump insists carroll is totally ruing. ol don't know anything about her," adding, "she's not my type." >> i am so glad i am not his type. >> reporter: it's not the first time mr. trump has tried to use

>> i don't have any comment about that. >> reporter: in her book, carroll also accuses les moonves, the former chairman and c.e.o. of cbs, of groping her in an elevator after an interview. like the president, he denies it. moonves was forced out of cbs last summer after a series of sexual misconduct allegations. maurice? >> dubois: nancy cordes at the capital tonight. thank you. late today san francisco became the first major american city to toprove a ban on the sale of electronic cigarettes. the crackdown is aimed at reducing teen vaping. one in five american high schoolers admitted to vaping last year. jamie yuccas is in san francisco. >> reporter: the city-wide ban on e-cigarettes and popular vaping flavors will cause smokeshop profits to go up in smoke. it would be 30% to 40% of your business if this all went away? >> yeah, i'll say about 30% to 40%, because everybody is on vape now-a-days.

>> reporter: farah says he sells only to adults, but increased use by teens overall has reached troubling levels. ae centers for disease control found a 78% surge in the use of e-cigarettes by high schoolers in a single year from 2017 to 2018. >> they were allowed to proliferate all over this country with no regulation, and here we are today now with millions of addicted children, teenagers. millions of ld reporter: with a 70% share of the vaping market, juul is the largest manufacturer of e- cigarettes. what would you say is the most popular one you have in the store? >> juul. >> reporter: this is? >> yes. >> reporter: the company did not respond to our request for an interview, but claims it is erfeguarding social media pages targeting children by stopping facebook posts. but when you go to twitter-- you must be 21 plus to follow. and when you click on it, i don't have to enter my birthday or do anything on there. >> that's what we would want for obacco products as well, something that's very stringent,

not just, i'm over 18, click ens, i'm in. >> reporter: the ban will take effect in seven months, giving stores time to clear their n elves. jamie yuccas, cbs news, san heancisco. >> dubois: senate majority leader mitch mcconnell met with 9/11 first responders today and /1omised a vote this summer on a bill to fund their healthcare for decades. many who worked at ground zero now have cancer and other illnesses, including former eslice detective lou alvarez. alvarez could not make it to washington today, but he was there in spirit. >> we're going to leave here, and luis alvarez is going to eze, and in that meeting we gave senate majority leader mitch mcconnell luis alvarez's badge. and we wanted the senate majority leader to be reminded of people like detective luis emvarez. >> dubois: exactly two weeks ago, lou alvarez, a retired n.y.p.d. bomb squad detective, reted jon stewart to demand lawmakers pass a new september

or maybe one country is a specific target from neighboring countries because of a local dispute. we need to understand those nuances. ud so for us, there is a bunch of different areas, identifying od actors, getting rid of fake eacounts. getting more effective at identifying misinformation to make sure it doesn't go viral, empowering readers with more information about what they read so they can make more informed decisions about what to trust and what to share. >> dubois: and you can see more of gayle king's interview with adam mosseri, the head of instagram, tomorrow on "cbs this orrning." up next right here on the "cbs evening news," the search for politicians who have gone into hiding to avoid a vote. with moderate to severe crohn's disease, i was there, just not always where i needed to be. is she alright? i hope so. so i talked to my doctor about humira. i learned humira is for people who still have symptoms of crohn's disease after trying other medications. and the majority of people on humira
