disease. weija jiang has the story. >> a lot of people think that vaping is wonderful and great. it's not wonderful. >> reporter: president trump warned about a spike of vaping in young people. new data suggests more than 25% of high school students use e-cigarettes. in 2018, 68% reported using flavors, like bubble gum and cotton candy. that's why secretary of health and human services, alex azar, said they must be banned. >> an entire generation of children risk becoming addicted to nicotine because of the attractiveness, appealability and availability of these vaping products. >> reporter: a generation that includes first son, baron trump. >> that's how the first lady got involved. she's got a son, together, that's a beautiful, young man. and she feels very, very strongly about it. >> reporter: azar said first lady melania trump is very involved in the process of

removing all flavored nicotine from the market, except the tobacco flavor, aimed at smokers trying to quit traditional cigarettes. exsmoker mike stephany brought blueberry lemonade. >> i don't want to smoke the flavorless stuff. i don't think they should get rid of it because it's for kids. >> reporter: the ceo of juul, the biggest e-cigarettemaker, says they are targeting him, not young people. >> i'm sorry that there's kids that are using the product. we never intended for our product to be used by them. >> reporter: secretary azar said it would take several weeks to work out details for a ban on e-cigarette flavors. if it goes into effect, companies that make flavored products can apply for an exception to sell them again. in the wake of the september 11th terror attacks 18 years ago, u.s. forces went to afghanistan to hunt down alak i al qaeda. the hunt goes on. but now, it's afghan forces

despite america's military presence here. as we've been walking along, they've been making sure that all of these nooks and crannies down these alleys are protected. and you can see around us. a lot of high buildings. there's a lot of overwatch here. we're walking in complete darkness. inside, they find their target, a suspected isis commander. his son insists his father is innocent. was he interrogated by americans? >> by americans, yes. >> reporter: tracking down suspects like these, relies heavily on u.s. surveillance, intelligence and guidance. will you miss the americans if they leave? of course, he said. they've given us weapons, equipment and training. and they are your friends? >> yeah. >> reporter: friends? >> sure. >> reporter: but the terms of that friendship may soon be nearing an end. charlie d'agata, cbs news, kabul. president trump's aborted plan to host the taliban at camp david, and announce a peace deal on the eve of the 9/11

anniversary, has drawn criticism from many sides. that includes some gold star families who lost loved ones fighting the war in afghanistan. norah o'donnell has their story. >> reporter: 9/11 was the reason why jason decided he would go into the military. >> i remember him talking to me about wanting to go. you know, fight terror. >> my son gave his life over there. he would probably be alive today if it hadn't been for 9/11. >> reporter: for jessica hovater-davis, carlene cross and dave brostrom, 9/11 was a turning point, one that would send their sons to a remote and dangerous battlefield. today, these gold star families are forever liked together because of one of the deadliest battles in the war of afghanistan, the battle of wanat. nine american paratroopers from chosen company's 173rd brigade died that day, after they were ambushed by 200 taliban fighters, just 11 days before coming home.

jessica lost her younger brother, jason hovater. carlene, her only son, jason bogar. dave, his eldest child, jonathan. >> i don't like wearing this gold star. i wear it with pride. i don't like it. >> reporter: frankie gay lost his son, pruitt rainey, and says the survivors are like family. >> when i hear the other soldiers tell stories about what my son did, how he sacrificed his life for his brothers, it makes me more proud than i've been in my life. >> reporter: survivors like platoon sergeant david dzwick and will krupa, knew the dangers and so did the men they were fighting with. >> the last mission, probably the worst one. >> reporter: the phone calls home became increasingly frightening. >> he said, i got to go. i could still hear everything. and there was a lot of gunshots. i just dropped to my knees and said, god, please don't let this be the time.

this is "the cbs overnight news." >> welcome back to "the overnight news." i'm don dahler. senators from both parties were at the white house pressing president trump to break the congressional gridlock over new gun laws. senate majority leader mitch mcconnell says he won't bring any legislation to the floor until he knows what president trump is prepared to sign. the president wasn't making any promises. a new study found 42% of americans say there is a firearm in their home. but that doesn't mean they are all ready to join the nra.

omar villafranca went to a gun range to meet members of the national gun association. it's the largest minority gun group in the nation. >> reporter: phillip smith remembers the first time he went to a gun range. loaded his 9 millimeter pistol and pulled the trigger. >> i felt free. i had a chance to kind of have some power in my hands. >> reporter: smith turned that power into a passion and formed the national african-american gun association, or naga. the first chapter was in atlanta. >> i didn't think i would get more than 30 people. >> reporter: in just five years, naga has become the largest minority gun club in the country. there are more than 75 chapters with more than 30,000 members, and over 90% of the members are black. >> we have folks from every walk of life. black doctors, gay, straight, republicans, democrats. we're not monolithic, while we're all here. we have different reasons. >> reporter: why not join the

nra? >> the nra is good for some people that are having that perspective. our perspective is for black folks. >> reporter: nazita davis joined naga to learn how to protect herself. and she's not alone. more than 60% of naga members are black women. >> when i get ready to go into the gun range, people are like, why is she here? black women don't church. we shoot. >> reporter: after churchgoers were targeted in charleston in 2015, and the recent shooting in el paso targeting mexicans, members say they are prepared to defend themselves. do you feel in this political climate, that white nationalists are emboldened to go after minority groups and you need this protection? >> i do. like i said, even though i generalize it's not just crime in our communities but also a white nationalists. i believe they are emboldened. yes. i want to be armed.

i'm not going down without a nig fight. i look at it that way. by being able to protect ourselves and training and knowing how to defend ourselves, at least we will be able to fight back if we are attacked from white supremacists or white nationalists. >> reporter: naga promotes the second amendment and social justice. but smith says he is aware of the dangers of being black and legally armed in america. he pointed to the castile case, where castile was shot by a police officer in a 2016 traffic stop. naga denounced the shooting. smith points out that other civil rights groups, like the national rifle association, did not. >> them not speaking up says more to us than anything. are you in agreement with that? i couldn't be silent. tears came out of my eyes when i

heard this brother got shot. if you're on organization that wants black folks to back you up, that's the best way. speak up when you see in in justice. we're an intelligent group of folks. >> reporter: the group is talking about getting political and endorsing candidates, that could make them a political force. but they're not there yet. it's something they will discuss at their first national conference next year. omar villafranca, atlanta. do you ever wonder where old commercial aircraft go to die? the airplane bone yard, of course. kris van cleave paid a visit. >> reporter: this is the roswell airport. it's more for the planes than never take off than those that do. they call it a boneyard, where planes whose flying days are done and are parked. they're parked here by the hundreds. >> people are watching. make it a good one. >> reporter: this will be the

final takeoff for american airlines flight 5466, touching the painted sky for the last time, as it flies from dallas to roswell, new mexico. retirement flights are special. typically there's only pilots. we're the only passengers onboard, which means we do have our pick of seats. captain dave clark was at the controls. after 53,563 flight hours and approximately 3.2 million passengers since it first took off, with his final entry in the plane's log, clark closed the book on the final of the md-80 fleet, a friend of his for years. >> you know this day is coming for a while. to realize this is your last takeoff, the last landing, the last time you sign the logbook, shut the engines down, that's surreal. >> reporter: one, by one, the parade of planes, the last of the md-80s landed in roswell. rolling to a stop, side-by-side. >> american airlines' ceo doug

parker, has brought in 500 new planes in the last 6 years. >> we have the youngest fleet of all of the network airlines. when you bring in new airplanes, old airplanes come out to the desert. >> reporter: 200 retiring planes is unusual. but this is literally where all planes are put out to pasture. the hot, dry air wards off rust, preserving the aircraft. from old 737s, to a private jet that once belonged to elvis. row after row, a sprawling testament to the planes of yesterday. so many, you can see them from space. is roswell the end of the line for most of these planes? >> for most of the airplanes, yes. >> reporter: brian's company buys old airlines, they buy the engines and strip the plane of parts. what percentage of this plane will get reused? >> with the processes and procedures that are used today, we're in the 90 percentile. >> reporter: retirement is not so great for the rest. smashed into pieces and sold for

scrap. but dave hall sees a certain beauty here. >> it's quiet. you hear time passing these planes by. it's got an eerie fielding. it's a boneyard/graveyard. and something romantic to walk among these giants. >> reporter: he's been taking pieces and turning them into something new. this md-80 tail will go to his workshop, where his company will turn it into furniture that borders on art. a sofa, this mile-high bed, or these tables. >> it was our duty to preserve aviation history a little bit. >> reporter: history, for now, is grounded. american expects some of the planes thare retired this week to fly again for a different airline in different colors. but most of these planes will be parted out and recycled. some will sit here,

it was like that feeling when you pull your green sock out of the dryer and then the very next sock is the other green one. and then you pull out two blue ones. and you keep going till you've matched every single sock in perfect order. and the owner of the laundromat is so impressed, he hangs a picture of you next to the dryer. geico. fifteen minutes could save you fifteen percent or more on car insurance. mother's day is still eight months away, but it's always the right time to celebrate your mom. we sent correspondents around the world to see what motherhood means in other countries. this morning, we take you to a small village in northern kenya, where men are not allowed. debora patta has the story. >> reporter: in a rural part of kenya, there is rampant poverty

and unemployment. the infant mortality rate is over 35%. but in a part of the country where women are often regarded as second-class citizens, there is one village where women rule. it's hard enough to be a woman. but without a child here, you are regarded as nothing. diana proved her worth by having three children, including 6-month-old baby tau. like so many women in african countries, where there is poverty, children are your riches. it can come at a cost, though. her husband beats her constantly. no longer able to stand it, she fled here, to the village where men are banned. is it better to be a mother without a man? fantastic. >> i understood that. yes, it is.

stress-free is a word you hear often here. but what it really means is that these women no longer have to fear the men who hurt them. a woman has a 95% chance of being beaten by her husband. this woman was 12 when she was forced to marry a 50-year-old man. >> yes. he was beating me. that's why i came again here. and i say, i decide now, i cannot go back again. >> reporter: now, 3 months pregnant, she already has two daughters. her dream is they will get the education she was denied as a child bride. they have set up their own school. curiously for an all-woman community, there are a lot of children around. >> it's a good life because us, we believe, that if you are a child, we are women. it has allowed women like me to

find the village outside. >> reporter: the boyfriend stays there. and you can -- get regular? >> i can work to get a baby. >> reporter: so, it is the women who make all of the decisions here. they build their own homes, with woven twigs for walls, dried cow manure for the roof and sell beautiful beadwork. the money earned shared equally. what's left is put away for emergencies. wh when lucy's 2-year-old son fell ill with malaria, that emergency fund meant she could take him to a clinic and buy life-saving medicine. but it provides so much more than financial stability. the village elders provide community and fun. they are there to help turn these young women into young mothers. >> here, it's okay, because one

mother can come and show you how to breast-feed. they can show you what you have to eat. everything. >> reporter: lucy grew up here. her mother was a founding member. she got pregnant with a man outside the village but chose to live here. she wants her son, jeremy, to break the cycle of bad men. >> i would encourage him to be a good man. don't beat your wife. don't give her some stress. >> reporter: the women don't have a lot. but they have each other. that's enough to make sure no child grows hungry. and growing up, they never experience the torment their brother mothers went through. it's common across africa for communities to help raise each other's children.

there could be 50 to 100 children living there. we know it takes a village. let me tell you, this village is thriving, as women turn the idea of community on its head by

the northern white ryhino i on the brink of extinction. the two remaining, a mother and daughter, are under 24-hour armed guard in kenya to protect them from poachers. here in the states, scientists at the san diego zoo are working to save that species. but how will they reproduce without a male? john black stone henblackstone . >> reporter: meet edward, this

scampering calf and his mom, victoria, are southern white rhinos. edward became the first southern white born in north america, using artificial insemination and frozen sperm. how amazing is this? >> he's so active and healthy. >> reporter: edward's birth confirms the theory that victoria could serve as a surrogate mother for a northern white rhino embryo. >> it's a big step in the overall plan, which is to help the northern white rhino come back from the brink of extension. >> reporter: the next step, to transform rhino skin cells into stem cells. >> a stem cell is a cell that has the potential to become any other cell in the body. and the eventual goal is to redirect them all the way to sperm and eggs. >> reporter: so far, they've succeeded in turning stem cells into beating cardiac muscle that makes up part of a heart.

the stem cell technology that you'll be using, does it seem like imaginic? >> it does. the stem cell technology is very, very complex. >> reporter: the work continues in the park's frozen zoo. the world's largest genetic bank has samples from some 10,000 samples. emplanting a white rhino in victoria is years away. their mission is personal. >> we feel a responsibility as the member of the species that caused their extinction. >> reporter: edward is expected to make his public debut in the weeks to come. in the meantime, victoria is stepping up and showing off her motherly instinct. >> she >> she is a hospital helicopter mom. she is right on top of him. >> reporter: john blackstone, escondido, california. >> edward, the baby rhino. that's "the overnight news" for this thursday. for some of you, the news
