captioning sponsored by cbs this is the "cbs evening news." >> axelrod: good evening. i'm jim axelrod. in the the 13 months since becoming the head of the catholic church, pope francis has developed a reputation for straight talk on issues he feehe feelsstrongly about and ns going to question that reputation after his trip to southern italy today to a stronghold of an especially brutal branch of the italian mafia. there at an outdoor maz, the pope declared the mobsters are now excommunicated. as allen pizzey reports, it's been more than 20 years since a pope took on the mob. >> reporter: stepping boldly where angels might, indeed, fear to tread, pope francis used a mass in the heart land of onest most violent mafia organization. "they are not in communion with god," he said. they are excommunicated.

pope john paul ii made similar condemnations of the mafia in sicily in 1993 and the mafia responded by bombing several churches in rome. the italian police say virtually everyone here knows who is connected to the mafia and they are too terrified to admit it. the ndrangheta are deeply involved in the international drug trade. this exclusive video, shot by cbs news, is a joint italian police-f.b.i. raid last february to grab some of the top traffickers. one study estimated the mob's annual turnover is some $72 billion across 30 countries. despite their reach, francis took them on. in his 12-hour pastoral visit he made six stops, one of them at a prison holding mauve yossi. he met with and comforted the grandmother of a three-year-old boy who was killed along with one of his grandfathers by ndrangheta hit men. they were shot and their vehicle was torched, a crime so

horrific, that the police at first couldn't figure out how many victims there were. as much as the church has been a force against the mafia, there have also been instances of priests colluding with them. francis' visit and his rhetoric could also be seen as a message that won't happen again. jim. >> axelrod: allen pizzey reporting for us tonight from rome. alan, thank you. an iraqi post on the border with syria was seized by sunni militants today who killed 30 iraqi soldiers, including the commander. this is exactly what the isis militants want, to erase the border between the two countries as they try to create a larger islamic state. clarissa ward joins us from baghdad tonight. clarissa, how significant is the seizure of this border crossing? >> reporter: well, jim, this is a huge strategic win for isis because it essentially allows them now to move heavy weapons and fighters quickly and easily from their base of operations in syria all the way here into iraq. and the iraqi army fought for

three long days and incurred heavy casualties, trying to defend al qaim, which gives you a sense of firstly how important a target it is, and secondly, just how fierce a fighting force isis really is. >> jim: now,as isis has made gains, we have seen shiite militias mobilizing, most notably in baghdad. what role are these militias playing now? >> reporter: well, that's right. we saw tens of thousands of members of the so-called mehdi army militia marching today in shiite strongholds croot country. they were carrying heavy weapons. this was really a display force to show they are a force to be reckoned with. their stated goal is to destroy isis, but, of course, the emergence of these old shiite militias are opening up all sort of old sectarian wound. many people here remember all too well the dark days of 2006 and 2007 when so-called sectarian death squads

terrorized this city. sp that's really exactly what isis wants. they want to drive a wedge between these two sects. they want to make it a battle between sunnis and shiites as opposed to a battle between iraqi government forces and terrorists. >> axelrod: clarissa ward with the situation that seems to grow ever so much more grim in baghdad tonight. thank you. now to the growing problem of where to house tens of thousands of uncompanied children from central america streaming across the southwestern border of the united states. as anna werner tells us, federal officials are regrouping this weekend after a town in virginia balked at a plan to settle 500 of the children there. >> reporter: the department of health and human services needs more space to house the children crossing the border unaccompanied. had planned to house bus loads of them at this empty college campus in lawrenceville, virginia, but the office for refugee resettlement was forced to scrapt plan after a community pac lash.

>> we do apologize for the fact that you heard about this project too far along. >> reporter: residents packed a high school auditorium to voice their discontent. >> locate them in d.c., where you can keep a very close eye on their welfare, rather than putting them in our backyard. ( applause ) >> reporter: since october, 52,000 unaccompanied children have been picked up trying to cross into the u.s., a 99% increase over last year. the border patrol has also seen a record number of adults with kids crossing. those families create a unique problem for authorities. they can't be housed in adult detention centers, which in many places, are the only available facilities. so many families are now being given a court sumons for an immigration hearing, and then released. some of those coming to the u.s. believe they may have a better chance of staying. "supposedly, they are letting people with children in," said

blanca gutierrez. she came from honduras to mexico, hoping to cross into the u.s. raul ortiz is a deputy chief patrol agent in south texas. he says agents are now apprehending up to 1400 men, women, and children each day. >> unfortunately, we're still finding ourselves in a position where other agencies are trying to open up shelters so they can have sufficient bed space for the amount of people that we're dealing with right now. >> reporter: the administration is setting up a temporary holding center for adults with children at a federal training center in new mexico. that facility will hold up to 700 people, jim, but they still need more. >> axelrod: anne athank you so much. record rains are causing rivers to overflow in at least four states in the upper midwest. as jamie yuccas of our cbs station wcco shows us, the rising water waters are making s of homes and businesses. >> a lot of it we're going to lose. >> reporter: river boat captain gus gaspardo didn't expect to kick off the first

summer weekend by cancelling four weddings. he's worried that he'll have to cancel more. >> that's a tough call to make when you have to call a bride and say, "hey, i'm sorry, but we have to suspend business because the river's forecasted to be over the bank." >> reporter: rising floodwaters are closing roads and sidewalks on harriet island, and it's only going to get worse. >> their prediction is going to be probably three, four feet up the building there. >> reporter: three to four feet up the building? >> upon the building, yeah. >> reporter: this is the wettest june on record in 140 years in minnesota. the mississippi river has swelled as area lakes and streams flow into it. by tomorrow, the river is expected to rise above 17 feet. at st. paul's airport, they have built a second wall to protect against the rising water. minnesota's expected to ask for federal help. the torrential rains have washed out roads and created mudslide around hospitals and apartment billions, like the one barbara lee lives in near jordan, minnesota minnesota.

>> that stove was against that wall and the whole side of the building came through the wall. >> reporter: the mississippi river is rising and moving at more than 20 feet per second. at that speed, it is potentially damaging to nearby homes and businesses. that's what prompted the army corps of engineer's deputy command echristian thompson to release some of the pressure on the dam. what would happen if you didn't open the dam? >> you're looking at potential flood risk to the community here so we've got to open this to help alleviate some of that. >> reporter: the mississippi river is high. it is 15 feet right now, but it will be up to 20 feet by next week. and, jim, people here are starting to get very nervous. tomorrow, rain is forecast, and there is a chance of rain every day until thursday. >> axelrod: jamie yuccas in waterlogged minneapolis, thank you so much. the game between arlington and iran finished with some high drama this afternoon. the game was in extra time, score tied at zero, when

argentina's lionel messi curled one in from 25 yards out, sending his team on to the next stage of the tournament. the ghana-germany game had a bloody finish. a german collided with a defender, and while it looked nasty he apparently was not badly hurt. the game ended in a 2-2 tie. the american team has a chance to move on to the next round tomorrow when it takes on portugal. elaine quijano is in brazil. >> reporter: america's thrilling victory monday over ghana had fans in the city of manuas in the amazon excited. maybe it was the tropical heat, but some were talking up the u.s. chances against powerhouse portugal. >> the united states will. >> reporter: u.s. coach jurgen klinsmann wasn't going quite that far, but portugal is coming off a stinging four-nil loss to ger me. >> they have their backs against the wall. it makes it more dill to get a but that's what you want.

>> reporter: both squads have injuries to overcome. u.s. stryker jozy altidore is out with a hamstring. cristiano ronoldo, one of the world's very best, has a nagging knee injury, and no one is quite sure how hobbled he wil kyle beckerman. >> we're going to have to know where he is at all times. when he's attacking is when he's the most dangerous. >> reporter: nate scott, soccer writer for "usa today" agrees. >> he's so good, even if he's 50%, 75%, he has to be on the field for them, even if it's a free kick or something like that, he's that good and could make a difference. >> reporter: an american win on sunday could propel the americans to the second round of the tournament. a loss or tie could mean thursday's match against germany could determine the americans' fate. >> axelrod: igo hope solo was arrested this morning in washington state. she's been charged with hitting

her sister and her sister's 17-year-old son. as carter evans reports, this is not the first time solo's been in trouble. >> reporter: police say hope solo appeared intoxicated and upset when they arrived shortly after midnight to what investigators described as an out-of-control party at her sister's house in kirkland, washington. someone called 911 after a fight between solo, her sister, and her 17-year-old nephew. police say the two had face and neck injuries and solo was belligerent and uncooperative when she was arrested and booked in a local jail on two counts of domestic violence assault. >> i knew from the beginning we were going to find a way to win. >> reporter: the goalie for the u.s. women's so, team became a celebrity after winning back-to-back gold medals in the 2008 and 2012 summer olympics. she is now the most recognizable women in soccer and considered one of the top goal keepers in the world. >> she's great at what she does, and she's got a long list of achievements. >> reporter: but for a woman

whose soccer success is all about control, she seems to have trouble maintaining it when she's off the field. solo first drew criticism after a loss at the 2007 world cup when she publicly bashed her coach for benching her. solo also had a brush with the law two years ago after a fight with her then-fiance, former nfl player, jerramy stevens. he was accused of domestic violence assault, but the charges are dropped and they got married the next day. >> unfortunately, i think what we know her for is because she has such a bad rap and she's been involved in so many controversies throughout her career. >> reporter: solo is being held without bay and is scheduled to appear in court on monday. her current team, the seattle reign, will have to play without her at a game tomorrow in rochester, new york. carter evans, cbs news, los angeles. >> axelrod: word from northern ireland that jerry conlan died of cancer. he was wrongly convicted of an ira bomb.

and the caribbean. but it was just earlier this year, starbucks c.e.o., howard schultz, said the company would not be raising prices because they lock in their coffee supply in advance. >> we have over a year's worth of protection. i suspect most of our competitors are short and we are in a much better position than they are. >> reporter: we asked commodities investor adam sarhan what changed. he said starbucks is looking ahead to next year's supply. >> reason why starbucks is raising their prices is because they're paying more for coffee. >> reporter: they're not alone. earlier this month, folgers increased its bagged coffee prices by 9%. maxwell house by 10%. that's in line with starbucks' suggested increase for its bagged coffee at the supermarket, 8%. >> so starbucks' competitors began raising prices and now in order to keep up with the joneses, so to speak, starbucks is almost forced to raise prices as well. >> starbucks says:

starbucks points out it lowered its bagged coffee prices by 10% last year and at starbucks cafes, most popular coffees will stay the same price. jill wagner, cbs news, new york. >> axelrod: up next, crossing the atlantic by row boat. re-wo. mayo? corn dogs? you are so outta here! aah!
