>> reporter: and where are you going to go? "we don't know, she said. we left, but we don't know where we're going." 25-year-old medea ghanm blames the u.s. for putting her and her three young children in danger and has a message for president trump. "why did you leave us alone," she said. "we were your loyal allies and you turn your back on us. you have given president erdogan a green light to attack civilians." now all desperate residents here can do is get as far away as they can and brace for the worst. kurdish forces here are no match for the might of the turkish military. they are outgunned and vastly outnumbered, yet the commander here has vowed that if the turks invade in large numbers, they will be attacked. norah? >> all right, charlie in northern syria, thank you. president trump is suggesting tonight that his administration could somehow mediate a deal between turkey

and the kurds. he says he would prefer that to other options like hitting turkey with sanctions or sending in more american troops. >> i don't think the american people want to see us go back in with our military, go back into that area again. we won. we left the area. i don't think we want to go back in. >> i want to bring in margaret brennan, our chief foreign affairs correspondent and moderator of "face the nation." margaret, i know you have been talking to your sources. the president claims it's an effort to bring u.s. troops home, but in reality the troops were just moved south and as we just heard, the kurds feel abandoned. how much concern are you hearing? >> norah, it was a significant acknowledgment tonight by a senior state department official that they are confirming they are concerned about ethnic cleansing being carried out by the turks, and acknowledge that is what the u.s. means when it calls for humane treatment, especially of the kurds. and it is the abandonment of that u.s. ally that has really caused concern around the world, including in europe.

one western diplomat that i spoke with today said to me that president trump's comment yesterday that isis fighters could just flee to europe shows careless disregard for america's allies, and this diplomat said they're very well may be a terrorist attack in europe that could happen if these fighters are allowed to roam free. >> an as you've been talking to many of your source, how unpopular is this decision by president trump to allow the turks to go in? >> well, within his own administration, everyone from the pentagon through the state department all the way up to the secretary of state had really pushed president trump to take a stronger position to dissuade turkey from carrying out this incursion, which is much larger than the u.s. expected. but the president did not. the u.s. miscalculated in thinking that erdogan would back down. and for much of today, the secretaries of state, defense and the national security adviser have all been working the phones, basically trying to

retrofit a policy on to the president's decision to pull troops back from that border. >> really interesting, margaret. thank you very much. today marks one year since hurricane mike. slammed the florida panhandle. the population of panama city beach is down 25%. more than 8,000 people have not returned. in mexico beach, about 800 of the 1200 residents no longer live there. manuel bojorquez now on the slow recovery. >> reporter: hurricane michael damaged more than 45,000 buildings in panama city, including krystle boone's home. this has been home for a year? >> correct. >> reporter: boone has had to live in her driveway with her husband and three boys while their home is slowly being repaired. >> there is not enough workers. there is not enough help. it just feels like it's taking forever. >> reporter: the biggest obstacle to drawing workers and people back to the area, livable housing is in short supply, sending rents soaring, often

double what they were before. nowhere is the difference between supply and demand more stark than here, mexico beach, where the hurricane made landfall. before michael, between apartments, houses and condos, there were 2700 units here. now barely 500 of those are livable. it's also a drag on the region's biggest industry, tourism. at this cajun restaurant in panama city beach, the crowds are back, but keeping workers at a wage owner trudy white can afford has been the challenge. >> i mean, certain positions only pay so much money. and when you got mcdonald's offering $15, $18 an hour, i can't compete with that. >> reporter: in extreme case, some restaurants have had to shorten hours or close on certain days. but despite the slow pace of recovery, there are signs of new life here. in mexico beach, dozens of new building permits have been issued over the last several months. norah? >> fascinating to see that.

same tournament proved it was no fluke. ask dj roman. >> we got to the second debate, the third debate, the fourth debate, we were like we haven't lost yet. >> reporter: the atlanta team dominated again. roman and his teammate went undefeated. >> we were like wow we did it. we did it. >> you must question everything. >> reporter: fleming teaches them to think first and then how to debate. >> you made a claim, you made a claim. you have to support that claim. >> reporter: he pushes a room full of smart kids. sophomore ramaya thomas likes feeling uncomfortable. >> they don't want you to sit down and oh, he just shot me down. i don't feel like speaking anymore. they want you to find your voice, find what you want to day and speak up and say it. >> reporter: and there is no debate about that. mark strassmann, cbs news, atlanta. >> and that's the "overnight news" for this friday. for some of you, the news continues. for others, check back with us a little later for the morning

news and "cbs this morning." from the cbs broadcast center in new york city, i'm norah o'donnell. is the "cbs overnight news." >> welcome to the "overnight news." i'm mola lenghi. two associates of president trump's lawyer rudy giuliani were arrested at dulles international airport. the foreign-born nationals apparently bought one-way tickets out of the country after they were asked to give depositions in the impeachment inquiry of president trump. the men were hauled into court on a list of charges, including violating campaign finance laws and conspiracy. but that is just the tip of the iceberg. paula reid has the story.

>> reporter: lev parnas and igor fruman were taken in to custody by the fbi as they tried to flee the country. >> parnas and fruman with were arrested around 6:00 p.m. at dulles airport as they were about to board an international flight with one-way tickets. >> reporter: earlier in the day they had lunch with president trump's personal attorney rudy giuliani at the trump hotel in washington, according to "the wall streetjournal." the men are both naturalized u.s. citizens, one originally from ukraine, the other originally from belarus. prosecutors charged them with illegally funneling foreign donations to political campaigns, including $325,000 to a pro-trump superpac in a scheme to buy potential influence. the pair is seen in pictures with president trump, donald trump jr., and the president's personal attorney rudy giuliani, who tweeted earlier this year lev parnas and igor fruman are my clients. >> i don't know those gentlemen. now it's possible i have a picture with them because i have a picture with everybody. >> reporter: the men were also subpoenaed today by house

democrats as part of their impeachment inquiry into president trump. the original whistle-blower complaint that launched the investigation apparently references parnas and fruman as associates of mr. giuliani who were trying to make contact with the ukrainian president. brendan fischer with the legal center says it suggests they're at the center of the president and giuliani's campaign urging the ukraine to open an investigation of former vice president joe biden and his son hunter. >> these two were central in biden and ukraine to trump's inner circle. >> so you did ask ukraine to look into joe biden? >> of course i did. >> reporter: cbs news has learned that parnas and fruman were key to setting up a meeting between giuliani and former ukrainian prosecutor yuriy lutsenko and also reportedly also facilitated contact between giuliani and viktor shokin, a

prosecutor fired because he was allegedly corrupt. a mass exodus is under way in northern syria after president trump cleared the way for turkey to launch an invasion against our former military ally, the kurds. charlie d'agata is there. >> reporter: thunderous explosions echoed across northern syria today as turkish artillery and air power paved the way for an all-out ground assault. the turkish military say they struck more than 180 terrorist targets along a 150-mile path and say ground troops have already crossed into the stretch of land between tal abyad and ras al-ayn, the two border towns where u.s. special forces vacated bases earlier this week. we found some of the tens of thousands of people who have fled the intense shelling bottlenecked on the main road leading out of the border city of qamishli. throughout the day and now into the night, there have been these huge traffic jams, people trying to get out of the range of turkish weapons, air strikes,

and artillery. the border is just a mile in that direction, and nobody here wants to risk another night. "we decided to leave now because we saw the situation getting worse," one mother told us. "kids are dying and nobody is doing anything about it." >> reporter: and where are you going to go? "we don't know, she said. we left, but we don't know where we're going." 25-year-old medea ghanm blames the u.s. for putting her and her three young children in danger and has a message for president trump. "why did you leave us alone," she said. "we were your loyal allies and you turn your back on us. you have given president erdogan a green light to attack civilians." now all desperate residents here can do is get as far away as they can and brace for the worst. kurdish forces here are no match for the might of the turkish military. they are outgunned and vastly outnumbered, yet the commander

here has vowed that if the turks invade in large numbers, they will be attacked. president trump's troop pullback from northern syria has sparked outrage on capitol hill. margaret brennan has the story. >> reporter: it was a significant acknowledgment tonight by a senior state department official that they are confirming they are concerned about ethnic cleansing being carried out by the turks and admitting that is what it means when it calls for humane treatment, especially of the kurds. and it is the abandonment of that u.s. ally that has really caused concern around the world, including in europe. one western diplomat that i spoke with today said to me that president trump's comment yesterday that isis fighters could just flee to europe shows careless disregard for america's allies, and this diplomat said they're very well may be a terrorist attack in europe that could happen if these fighters are allowed to roam free.

husband and three boys while their home is slowly being repaired. >> there is not enough workers. there is not enough help. it just feels like it's taking forever. >> reporter: the biggest obstacle to drawing workers and people back to the area, livable housing is in short supply, sending rents soaring, often double what they were before. nowhere is the difference between supply and demand more stark than here, mexico beach, where the hurricane made landfall. before michael, between apartments, houses and condos, there were 2700 units here. now barely 500 of those are livable. it's also a drag on the region's biggest industry, tourism. at this cajun restaurant in panama city beach, the crowds are back, but keeping workers at a wage owner trudy white can afford has been the challenge. >> i mean, certain positions only pay so much money. and when you got mcdonald's offering $15, $18 an hour, i can't compete with that. >> reporter: in extreme case,

some restaurants have had to shorten hours or close on certain days. but despite the slow pace of recovery, there are signs of new life here. in mexico beach, dozens of new in mexico beach, dozens of new building permits have been just between us, you know what's better than mopping? anything! at the end of a long day, it's the last thing i want to do. well i switched to swiffer wet jet and its awesome. it's an all-in-one so it's ready to go when i am. the cleaning solution actually breaks down dirt and grime. and the pad absorbs it deep inside. so, it prevents streaks and haze better than my old mop. plus, it's safe to use on all my floors, even wood. glad i got that off my chest and the day off my floor. try wet jet with a moneyback guarantee shhhh. i took mucinex dm for my phlegmy cough. what about rob's dry cough? works on that too. and lasts 12 hours. 12 hours?! who studies that long?! only mucinex dm relieves wet and dry coughs for 12 hours with 2 medicines in 1 pill. starting a business means i have to be well rested, every night ofhe month.

this is the "cbs overnight news." >> welcome back to the "overnight news." i'm mola lenghi. well, as more people are sickened or killed by e-cigarettes, fingers are pointing at the black market for cannabis cartridges. it turns out you can buy the fancy packaging and the cards at underground flea markets and you'll never know what's in them. carter evans went undercover for this report. >> reporter: this event we're going to tonight seems to be a group of vendors that have gathered together informally in one place so they can sell their vape cartridges.

this is the elicit market for thc vapor. >> reporter: to find out how dangerous and potentially deadly vape products end up on the streets, we brought hidden cameras to a warehouse 75 miles east of l.a., where marijuana's black market feels more like a house party. >> everybody having a good time? >> reporter: the thc oil inside these cartridges is unregulated. there is no way to know exactly what's in them and how it could hurt you. >> i got strawberry, bubble gum. >> reporter: everybody claims to have a pure product. >> no aidtives. >> guaranteed to not kill you. >> reporter: it's places like this where some people come to buy hundreds of vapes at a time so they can resell them nationwide. so here's what we got. why would you buy these when you can go and buy a certified product in the store? well, it's price. these are a lot cheaper. these were about $20 apiece. you buy them in a store, they're

about $60 iece. >> there has been so much coverage about the legal mark, and nobody november one has been covering the illicit market. >> reporter: he runs a market called dosha. a year and a half ago, long before reports of deaths and illnesses across the country, he noticed something. >> they were getting headaches on this product and this product. >> reporter: many of the vape cartridges came from an underground scene like the one we went to. >> the current black market comes with a cartridge that has a brand, that has social media, that has websites and is really hard to distinguish between what is a legal cannabis product and what is an illicit product. >> reporter: that's becoming a big problem for art pushkin. he founded pure vape, a legal thc producer licensed in california. by law, his tamper-proof vapes include warning labels right on the package. are you worried that someone

might try to copy your packaging and sell a defective or dangerous product? >> very much so. >> reporter: he's already seen counterfeit pure vape products on the black market and warns customers. >> if they purchase from the stores that is not on the legal list, we cannot guarantee if they're getting an authentic product. >> reporter: even if it says pure vape on the package? >> even if it says pure vape on the package, unfortunately. i know it's crazy, but that's the truth. >> reporter: we took our black market vapes to bell costa labs in long beach. byron rene is ceo. what is the worst thing you ever found? >> predominantly in the underground market what we're seeing is just a slew of pesticides. >> reporter: that was the case for the illicit vapes we picked up. they failed for a total of five pesticides. >> you're then getting hydrogen cyanide. >> reporter: something you definitely don't want to inhale? >> no. >> reporter: what's the message

here? >> shop legal. if you're in a state that doesn't have legal cannabis, don't buy it. >> reporter: black market thc vape cartridges are a tough problem to come babatcombat, esn states where marijuana is still illegal. and federally, the food and drug administration doesn't regulate thc products because it's still considered an illegal drug. for more than 15 years now, london has been charging people to drive cars through the city. congestion pricing, as it's called, was originally put in place to get vehicles off the streets and also to make a little money. now officials have gone one step further, setting up what they call ultra low emission zones designed, as you guessed it, to cut down on air pollution. mark phillips reports. >> reporter: you don't have to go somewhere exotic to run into the effects of climate change. these days a drive around central london will do it. because of environmental concerns, that drive has gotten a lot more expensive for some lately. approach central london, and you'll see these signs

announcing a charge just for bringing your car into town. ka-ching, about 15 bucks. and if you've got an older car, especially if it's a diesel, the overhead cameras will spot you and under the new ultra low emission zone, that will be another $16.50. that's over $30 just to drive into town. why? just ask the mayor. >> if you are going to drive a pollution vehicle you, have to pay for that. >> reporter: the point of mayor sadiq khan's charges is to reduce pollution by reducing the number of vehicles which produce it. >> so this is the iconic graph of atmospheric co2 concentrations. >> reporter: at the british met office, the country's weather forecasting service, they track the rise of carbon dioxide, the most prevalent greenhouse gas. much of the data coming from the mauna loa observatory in hawaii, which has been measuring co2

since 1958. scientists like richard betz count the gas in parts per million in the air around us. >> way past 400 now. so a 30% increase in co2 over that half century or more. >> reporter: and why is that significant? >> it's significant because it's causing the world to warm. >> reporter: in just that period, average global temperatures have risen about 1 degree fahrenheit, a rise scientists connect to more severe weather, increased flooding, and drought. there are still skeptics out there somehow who either doubt the source of the extra co2 in the atmosphere and where it's coming from. >> even the skeptic, those who are disputing it's a problem will accept that the science is sounding that the warming is caused by increased greenhouse gases. >> reporter: over the past few years, we've been going to some of the earth's extreme environments, where the signs of climate change tend to show up first.

we found that carbon that has been frozen in the arctic permafrost is being released as it thaws. we found antarctic islands where penguin colonies used to thrive that are now almost empty because the sea ice is gone. we've seen the coral bleaching due to warming on australia's great barrier reef. they used to simply produce daily weather forecasts in places like this. now they can also look further into the future. >> so we can't predict individual weather days more than a few days ahead, but we can make predictions of the annual average temperature and the seasonal temperature and rainfall. and we're predicting that a warmer world, changing rainfall patterns and rising sea levels. >> the trend is up? >> yep. >> reporter: and if london is any example the, the way we move around and the way we live our lives will change too. >> mark phillips on smog patrol.

the rails in japan, while i boarded rails right here to see how american ingenuity stacks up to japanese efficiency. rush hour in new york city is a daily challenge for its commuters, who like most americans tend to rely on their cars as their main source of transportation. this despite the city having the nation's largest subway system spanning more than 665 miles, carrying over 5.6 million passengers every year. >> the crowds, they are a thing here in tokyo too, michelle. this city has a population of 14 million people and about half of them take to the rails every day. and here's something that might be surprising to americans. people here politely line up for trains that arrive on time nearly every time. >> here at times square station, new york city's busiest, people here might be surprised to know there is a schedule at all.

as for lining up, huh, forget about it. >> in tokyo, stations aren't just places to catch a train, they're also destinations to get a gourmet meal, like here at ramen row. >> the dining choices here aren't as good, but you're never too far away from a slice of pizza. just ask the locals. >> rare to see a rodent here, but it definitely is a rat race. the guinness book of world records says tokyo shinuiju station is the busiest in the world. but look how clean it is. >> sure, these stations could use a bit more attention, but despite that and all the delays, this subway runs 24 hours a day. >> subway service in tokyo ends at around midnight and restarts at around 5:00 a.m. that lets crews tend to station maintenance. >> no matter what time you ride or how far the trip, fares in

new york is the same. >> prices here depend on how far you go. but it's time, not cost that matters the most to rail passengers in japan. the bullet train, or the schenk shinkansen is still the world's most reliable form of transportation. we're boarding in tokyo for a trip to kyoto, 319 miles away. >> and we'll ride amtrak's high speed rail, the acela from new york to washington, d.c., which is about 225 miles. that gives us a nearly 100-mile head start. let's see who gets there first. >> michelle, you did hear that bit about this being the world's most reliable high speed train service, right? it's also super fast with a top speed of 177 miles per hour on this line. >> that is pretty fast, ramie. the acela only averages about 82 miles. part of the reason for that, it shares its tracks with both its local lines and freight trains

too. >> well, that was pleasant. here we are in kyoto, michelle, right on time, in exact two hours and 18 minutes. >> congratulations, ramie. if we stay on schedule, which amtrak doesn't 20% of the time, we should get to d.c. in about, oh, 40 minutes. although amtrak is promising some upgrades, it should shave 15 minutes off of the commute by the year 2021. 15 whole minutes. >> and that's something to look forward to, michelle. in the meantime, with the extra time we've got now, we're going to take a visit to japan's old imperial capital. wish you were here. >> yeah, me too, ramie. me too. nice kimono. >> so to recap, ramie traveled 100 miles further and finished his trap about an hour sooner than michelle, but that japanese technology could soon be coming here to america.

there is a plan to build one of those high speed rail lines in texas. if and when it's complete, it will get you from dallas to houston in, get this, 90 minutes. we'll have to wait and see. the "overnight n s" will be ri

oversea, britain's royal air force is helping some blind youngsters get a new view of life from a thousand feet up. charlie d'agata has the story. >> reporter: for most, flying is a matter of function. a means of getting from point a to point b that many consider tedious or even ordinary. but as these young boys show, that all depends on your point of view. take 13-year-old cameron herring, who will be the first to admit he is around one thousand feet outside his comfort zone. did you ever think you'd fly a plane? >> no. >> reporter: what do your friends think of this? >> they think i'm bonkers. >> reporter: they think you're
