♪ >> announcer: this is the "cbs overnight news." >> i'm tom hanson, and we've got a lot more to tell you about this morning, starting with the dangers of vaping. doctors in canada think they've discovered a new type of lung injury related to e-cigarettes. a 17-year-old nearly died after he vaped thc and flavored e-cigarettes for five months. his case is different from the lung injuries seen in more than 2,000 cases in the u.s. dr. tara narula reports. >> reporter: well, for many years doctors have known about a type of injury known as popcorn workers lung, named for factory workers who infail a chemical flavoring known as diacetyl. that ingredient is used to make

buttery microwave popcorn. now there is evidence it might be responsible for certain lung injuries from vaping certain e-cigarette flavored properties. by the time the 17-year-old boy was admitted to anni icu this past spring, what started as a bad cough developed in a life-threatening illness. how critical did his condition c he oneupportnd we were concerned that heht survive. >> reporter: dr. karen bted e p identified. she said what she saw in his imaging didn't pattern of vaping-related lung injury that has emerged in recent months, particularly in the united states. >> we also did ct scans, and that gives us a deeper look at the lungs. that showed he had diffuse pattern. so if you picture the branchs of a tree in the springtime when a tree is budding, that's what we were seeing on these images of

the ct scan, and that's a pattern that is in keeping with damage. >> reporter: doctors diagnosised a form of bronchiolitis, also known as popcorn worker's lung. smoll airways in the lung become so inflamed and on strubbed that they cannot carbon dioxide which can then build up in the body to toxic levels. according to the study's authors, popcorn lung is different than the type of injury typically seen in vaping-related illness where the damage occurs in the tiny air sacs, or alveoli at the end of the airway. both leave patients gasping for air. just last week doctors in michigan revealed one teenaged patient required a double lung transplant to survive. and on wednesday, new york state announced a second death due to vaping, bringing the nationwide total to at least 43. new york state investigators are testing vaping devices to see which compounds may be causing the lung illness. the centers for disease control

has identified vitamin e acetate as a common thread, but experts doubt that's the only culprit. >> we absolutely continue to look for everything. we have not just sort of said okay, we found vitamin e acetate. we will continue to analyze and tease apart whatever chemicals are in the samples. britain's prince andrew is facing mounting pressure to tell u.s. prosecutors what he knows about the late millionaire and sex trafficker jeffrey epstein. the prince has been removed from his official duties because of his relationship with epstein and a controversial interview. imtiaz tyab is outside buckingham palace in london. >> reporter: well, the lawyers representing the victims of jeffrey epstein say they want prince andrew to cooperate with u.s. investigators, keeping the spotlight on the prince, even as he tries to step away from it. >> this whole business is totally extraordinary for members of the royal family. you don't expect a member of the royal family to be -- to be caught up in the life of some

seedy pedophile. i mean, you just don't. >> reporter: a scandal so extraordinary prince andrew had to make the unprecedented announcement that his mother, the queen, has given him permission to step back from public duties for the foreseeable future. the statement follows days of outrage after this interview he gave about his relationship with american financier and convicted sex offender jeffrey epstein. >> you could not spend time around him and not know. >> i live in an institution at buckingham palace, which has members of staff walking around all the time, and i don't wish to appear grand, but there were a lot of people who were walking around jeffrey epstein's house. as far as i was aware, they were staff. >> reporter: several charities, companies, and organizations the prince supports have said they're either reviewing or looking to sever ties with him. now that he is pulling back from public life, it's raising

questions about how he'll fund his royal lifestyle. >> i think he won't have to leave his royal residence. this is the queen's son we're talking about. but i think his allowance will probably go once he -- his office will move out of buckingham palace. >> reporter: questions continue to swirl around prince andrew's relationship with virginia robs giuffre, seen here photographed with him when she was just 17 years old. roberts giuffre says she was forced to have sex with the prince at least three times, all at properties owned by epstein, who died earlier this year in prison. in prince andrew's statement last night, he said he would cooperate with law enforcement officials if asked. >> i think he will have to be interviewed by the fbi eventually, and -- because he is not going to be able to lay it to rest until, you know, everybody knows the truth. >> reporter: cbs news has learned that prince andrew will no longer receive around $300,000 a year in public funds. however, he will get an allowance from the queen from

her private funds and will be nyquil severe gives you powerful relief for your worst cold and flu symptoms, on sunday night and every night. nyquil severe. the nightime, sniffling, sneezing, coughing, aching, stuffy head, best sleep with a cold, medicine.

espionage and intrigue he has so often written about. not anymore. walking through an english garden, you would think the world is not so bad a place. >> you would think that, yes. and of course it's the kind of garden in my imagination where brexit was born. >> reporter: in a place like this? >> yes. a gentleman owns everything he beholds and sees this paradise about him and thinks how can we let those bloody foreigners in. >> reporter: le carre is 88 now, and 25 novels, 10 films and 6 tv adaptations later, he has new veil la villains, the people trying to take britain out of the european union. >> i'm talking about brexit. i'm talking about the difference, which americans also know very well between patriotism and nationalism. a patriot can criticize his country, stay with it, and go through the democratic process. a nationalist needs enemies.

>> no jail, bye-bye. >> reporter: le carre's feelings about brexit are well-known. he's against it. he has joined street demonstrations demanding the chance to vote again in a new referendum. >> i would vote. i would vote. >> reporter: now that the potentially damaging consequences of brexit are better known. but the problem he says is bigger than that. >> i think to have abandoned our allies effectively in europe, to have actually turned through the rhetoric that is thrown around into enemies, that's something quite extraordinary. >> reporter: and he is not shy about getting those opinions into his new book. >> the first reference to brexit i think is described. the absurdity is the phrase i think you use. >> it was much ruder than that. >> reporter: let's call it that. >> yes. let me just say first of all that always in my books i tried to live the passion of my time, and in this case, i felt very

deeply, i continue to feel very deeply the british public is being bamboozled by people with private interests. so to get that feeling to invest the argument in characters rather than just stand on a soapbox, that was my job. >> reporter: that's always been le carre's job. times have changed since we first met him in the mid 1990s at his seaside home in england's wild west country. the cold war had been declared over. the books he had written there based on his own experience as a british spook, "the spy who came in from the cold," "smily's people" and all the rest seemed like old news. several had been made into films and tv shows and seemed like relics of another age. >> vladimir was the best source we had on soviet capabilities and intentions. he was close to their intelligence community and reported on that too. >> damn it, george, that whole era is dead.

>> and so is vladimir. and i wish g we half his courage and 1 one-tenth of his integrity. >> reporter: le carre was a one of man spy fiction industry back then. >> joseph conrad wrote about the sea because he was born to the sea. i was recruited very early into the secret world. i would copy conrad in that respect. the sacred world was my natural element. i was in it for those years, and i understand its workings as he understands the sea. >> reporter: but even then he saw that the future looked a lot like the past. >> it doesn't matter what new circumstances occur, it's the same show running in the background. it's the same people running it. i mean, you look at the new so-called russian security service. it's just the kgb in drag. >> reporter: and the russians are back in his latest book, making trouble again. do you feel you've kind of come full circumstancele? the first time we spoke was when history was allegedly ending and

you were moving on to other stuff. and here you are again talking about the same sort of things. >> yeah, well, first of all, i never subscribed to the view that history had ended. and in fact, statistically, the size of the intelligence services in every country has grown enormously since the end of the cold war. it's the same game but played for different purposes and by different rules. >> reporter: there is still plenty of history to go around. le carre has not mellowed with age, and american politics don't get an easy ride in his new book either. >> in ed's world, there was no dividing line between brexit fanatics and trump fanatics. both were racist and xenophobic. both worshipped at the same shrine of nostalgic imperialism. >> reporter: le carre has tried to stop writing and speaking out, but says he couldn't. is there another novel in you? >> yes, there is very much another novel in me.

it gnaws away. >> reporter: another novel and more. after the recent success of a tv version of "the night manager," -- >> and offer to do what? >> to bring down richard roeper. i want to put you inside the situation. >> how very good to see you, mr. roper. i'm in night manager. >> reporter: and after the successful run of the new tv treatment of "the little drummer girl". >> the enemy is using westerners. so must we? >> what is the character? >> a terrorist. >> reporter: le carre is now working on more tv treatments for some of his early spy novels, but there is still a lot he wants to say. >> britain is famous, used to be for common sense and compromise, yes. it's gone. >> reporter: so what do you do? >> well, agitate. i keep on writing. i'm 88. so my range of future is

strictly limited. >> reporter: you better get cracking. >> i b ter get cracking

the u.s. marines are accepting applications for one of the most demanding jobs in the corps, carrying the weight of the nation. steve hartman is on the road with this morning's profiles in service. >> reporter: all marines train hard, but few are tougher and none are stronger than this elite unit of ten marines stationed in washington, d.c. >> we all wanted something to push us, and we found it. >> pushing myself mentally and physically. >> the most difficult thing i've ever done in my life. >> it's one of those things if you don't go through it, sir, you don't know. >> nobody will really understand. >> reporter: he is right about that. in this case, not even seeing is believing. corporal luke givens is their platoon sergeant. >> have such a unique group of individuals that are able to live up to the very strict standard of what we need out at

arlington every day. >> reporter: the mission of these mightiest of marines is to shoulder the burden of american grief, literally. they are theodbearers. and every day here at arlington cemetery in teams of six, they carry the caskets. other branches of the service use eight men and carry lower, but marines pride themselves on doing more with less, and they take that pride to the grave. to do this and make it look so effortless, they practice with a weighted coffin, day and night in the basement of an old parking garage at marine barracks washington. >> we want it to be so level and so smooth that it looks like it's just floating across arlington. >> so if we're flawless, that's the last memory of their loved one, he must have been one of them, just as flawless. >> reporter: on this day the ceremony was for a retired

colonel with more than 30 years of active duty service, including vietnam. but a rank priva gets the same lel of devotion from these men, summed up in their motto, the last to let you down. >> you drop all semblance of caring about yourself and it becomes about everybody else. >> there is no place i'd rather be than right here doing what we're doing. >> this is the most honorable, humbling thing i've ever done in my life. >> reporter: on that note you should understand the body bearers don't often do interviews. they're uncomfortable with attention. so after this story is done, co givens has politely asked that you never consider them again. >> we would just ask, i guess, that people don't think about us, that they think about the marines that we are honoring, pay our respect to them. >> reporter: steve hartman, on the road at arlington cemetery. >> that's the "overnight news"
