after angry residents debated the ferguson city council concerns that it will cost too much to comply. >> my fear is that with your vote tonight, if it is to sign the consent decree, that ferguson will cease to exist. protecting the citizens of ferguson should be our priority. >> reporter: council voted to approve the doj agreement with conditions. no additional salary increases for the police department or city employees. control over hiring contractors, extended compliance deadlines. and the right to back out of the agreement if the police department is ever dissolved. mayor james knoles. >> what we did was take out things we thought were immaterial to constitutional policing. >> reporter: the city has a $14 million budget and nearly $3 million in debt. negotiated consent decree, estimated to cost $10 million over three years. ten year ferguson resident, aly shah jordan says the price tag of the agreement is less than

the cost of doing nothing. >> so much of this seems to be around money. >> it is. and i do understand, you know, because i am living it. we're all living it. but ought the end of the day well have to do what's right. >> reporter: the mayor told us it will be less expensive to fight the lawsuit in court than to implement the decree as drafted. scott, now there is a possibility. the city could end up paying for both. >> thanks. some laminate flooring sold by lumber liquidators can cause eye, nose, throat irritation and breathing difficulty according to the cdc today. concerns were raised by a 60 minutes investigation into formaldehyde in the flooring. the cdc says the cancer risk is low. coming up next -- tests for cancer are being sold without proof that they work. and -- the search for a lost

each other. it's, you know, you think back on it now. it is traumatic and hard. >> reporter: must have been a lot of joys up and down and across the road. >> are you kidding, i would get up saturday morning. use to play with the spalding rubber ball. throw it. start at the red rick. white brick. red brick. you would win if you threw it all the way up there. literally, leave, 9:00, 10:00 in the morning and come back at 5:00, exhausted. i had been running all day long. but a happy exhaustion. by the way, i learned something also about democracy. we don't have much adult supervision. so the games were all determined not by adult cultures kid themselves. we would choose a team. there wasn't a person dictating anything. we worked our own rules. an interesting way to grow up. >> bernie sanders in brooklyn. an american travels to the other side of world to find a long lost love. next.

with valentine's day coming up sunday, we end tonight with a love story that began more than 70 years ago. here is mark strassmann. >> reporter: what does this photo mean to you? >> means a lot to me. she looks at me like that now, i don't know what it will do to me. >> reporter: norwood thomas, 93, never forgot his first love. in 1944, the 21-year-old g.i. stationed outside london met a british 17-year-old named joyce durant. the war couldn't wait. he headed to normandy and d-day. >> i said i'll see you soon. and, away i went. and never saw her again.

>> reporter: they swapped letters after the war, but communication broke down. they married other people. thomas, now a widower, always remembered the girl who got away. >> i had placed her on a pedestal, untouched, pure, unobtainable. because in my mind that's really what she was. >> reporter: last year, out of the blue, joyce's son tracked him down on the internet. and for the first time in more than 70 years, the two talked to each other again via skype. >> i still dream of you. >> you do? ha-ha. joyce morris, 88 and divorced lives in australia. >> the only one big problem is is i can't take you in my arms and give you a squeeze. >> oh, yeah. >> reporter: problem solved. thomas landed yesterday in adelaide, australia.

>> give me the squeeze. >> to find some body who loves you and you love them, it would rather be special wouldn't it? >> americans and brits have always had a special relationship. mark strassmann, cbs news, norfolk, virginia. and that's the overnight news for this thursday. for some of you, the news continues. for others, check back with us a little bit later. for the morning news. and cbs this morning. from the broadcast center in new york city, i'm scott pelley.

this is the cbs overnight news. welcome to the overnight news. two republican candidates are not making the trip south. carly fiorina and chris christie. the new jersey governor finished disappointing sixth in the new hampshire primary, and fiorina was far behind him. she was hoping her business background would strike a chord with voters. it did not. as for christie, he invested a lot of time and money in new hampshire hoping it would jump-start his campaign. ohio governor john kasich was a big winner in new hampshire

finishing behind donald trump. ted cruz, jeb bush, marco rubio essentially tied for third. kasich and bush discussed the race on cbs this morning. others arggue you don't have th money or staff to meet, take advantage of the momentum out of new hampshire. >> charlie, a lot of people said i wouldn't get in the race. i wouldn't raise the money. i've wouldn't make the debate. i wouldn't do well. i would drop out. i would disappear. now we are here the i lot of, being underestimated. i have all my lifetime. we are in south carolina. we are going to compete here in parts of south carolina.

look, i think people are tired of the negativity. i think the ability to talk about what you want to do. you know the reason a lot of people go negative is because the positive doesn't work. imagine if you are running for office. you didn't have much positive. all you spent your time doing was talking negative. that's sort of a downer, i think it is. and, but look, i think people want to know we can solve problems. my message is simple. republican or democrat. beginning and end you should be an american working together to solve problems. that message i think works. if it doesn't i can't change my message. just the way it goats. >> all right. >> politicians argue there may be a difference between negative and being comparative. jeb bush is running a lengthy ad attacking your record as governor of ohio noting you chose to expand medicaid. but also you offered, a pathway

to citizenship for illegal immigrants. well that message resonate, will that message resonate in south carolina, much more conservative electorate than new hampshire? they just go negative, negative, negative. distorting negative. as arnold schwarzenegger once told me about campaign, negative campaigns. john, love the beatings. i do love the beatings. the fact is the bush campaign can't figure out what it is for. candidate can't seem to know what he is for. they spend their time bashing somebody else. what did you discover from all the town meet sngz.

>> charlie, a lot of people don't have anybody to listen to them that if don't have any body that sell bralcelebrates their and denlt haon't have people wh sit down and cry with them. the other aspect is that nothing in the country will be the way it ought to be if we are not creating jobs. able to do it as part of the committee in washington. i have a plan i can implement in the first 100 days each of tell people. you know me a long type. i have so many idea. so many things i want to change. i tell people, get ready the first 100 days if you didn't have a seatbelt on your chair. go get one. you are not going to see anything like this. >> governor, what is your pathway to winning the nomination now?

>> well i think the field will whittle down. i am a patient person. i wish it happened overnight. that's kind of the obsession of the pundits want that to happen. it will happen. when it does, i am the one candidate that has taken on donald trump that does not believe he is a conservative and head of the conservative party, nominee should be a conservative. i take my record one of accomplishment, disruption, changing the culture in my state capital to the people here of south carolina then on to nevada. >> some will argue that donald trump will get stronger and while it takes place and too late. >> that would be a disaster for the republican party and mean landslide defeats for a lot of really good people that are serving right now. my case is one that, look, we can be angry about the status quo. or we can fix it. i have a proven record of how that works. that's what i this morning. and at hilton head. there will be 47 people there. we will get a sense of how people look that. buzz i think they do. >> on the democratic side. hillary clinton's campaign is still licking its wounds after

being trounced by bernie sanders in new hampshire. sanders finished with 60% compared to clinton's 38%. he also within 83% of the youth vote. and finished 11 points ahead of clinton with female voters. nancy cordes has that part. >> women are normally a demographic hillary clinton can count on. but over the next few days, she is going to be asking a question that men have been pondering for centuries. what do women want. i know i have work to do. women went to the pollsen a big way not for hillary clinton. >> boat load of debt. be great to afford a house. and have kids. and cbs exit polling and generational divide. the only age group of women clinton won was ages 45 and up. overall, bernie sanders won the women's vote in new hampshire by 11 points.

among women, 18 to 29. sanders beat clinton by nearly 60 points. the numbers show women were not convinced by this rallying cry from former secretary of state, madeline albright. >> there is a special place in hell for women who don't help each other. even clinton supporters say it's not that simple. >> we look fabulous. >> our message is not necessarily breaking through. >> emily tisch-sussman. >> for young women in particular they feel like the fight of their mothers is not the fight they have right now. >> when the overnight news returns, charlie, gayle, nora sit down with republican front-runner donald trump.

gop presidential front-runner donald trump has never run for elected office before. and he is basking in the first primary victory of his political career. trump talked about new hampshire and what comes next with charlie, gayle, nora on cbs this morning. >> now are you feeling unstoppable today? >> no, never unstoppable. but you know -- >> never unstoppable, you? >> i would never want to say that. we had a great time. the people of new hampshire have been amazing.

the way they just took me in. i have been friendly, have a lot of friend from the area. i thought i would do well there. >> what made the difference, iowa and new hampshire for you? >> i think we did really well in iowa. i got no credit. came in second. never did this before. haven't been a politician t in iowa, six months a politician. came in second. the largest number of voters ever, except for ted. we had the problem with ben carson. very unfair thing happened to him. if that didn't happen i would have within iowa. i was happy with iowa. came in second. came in third. made him like a star. i said what about me, came in second. what happened to me. >> marco rubio. >> yeah. >> the republican party is hell-bent, the establishment on stopping you. even governor bush said this morning on this program, it would be disastrous if you were the nominee? >> well, jeb is a person who, you know he doesn't have it. he spent $38 million. >> he is not alone. you talked about him before. >> i did. the republican party, the establishment worries about you? >> charlie. >> they want to stop you.

>> i am getting so many calls from the members of the establishment, people in the republican party were against me. they want to join the team now. >> it includes chris christie. he called you? >> he didn't call to say he is going to support me. >> he did call. >> he is a friend of mine. >> he did a good job in the debate. he is a friend of mine the he congratulated me. said it was unbelievable what you have done. numbers were fantastic. >>-up had a win in new hampshire. 34%. a lot of candidates in the field. the four establishment candidates, together gained a greater percentage of the vote than you. since they're well funded do you think this will go on all the way to the convention? >> will i am much better funded than they are. it's called my own money. putting up my own money. better funded than any. when they put down trump. they don't put down anything. i put up my own money. by doing that i'm not controlled by specialists, lobbyists and people. a lot of people, say, they check the results. they say that was a big reason i did so well. people are tired of it. >> politicians are controlled by the people that put up the money. >> donald trump where is this

coming from. either people are excite add but your candidacy or mortified about your candidacy. >> i don't think mortified. i think they respected. well, they may be, not happy. but, mortified is a different kind of a word. >> politicians say they worry they lose the senate and the house if you are the head of the ticket. >> yet polls are coming out. polls showing i will beat hillary clinton easily. i don't know about the other one. i think the other one is going to be, if bernie gets it. i can't imagine that is possible. going to charge you 95%, tax. i thought i would beat clinton. i thought i would do something different. i have a chance of winning new york. look at the politicians. the six states. win this one. that one. win ohio. florida. i can change the game because i really have a chance at new york. i'm going to win virginia. i'm going to win certain states. i am going to win michigan as an example. >> yes, director of national intelligence in congress saying that north korea's nuclear effort is the top threat to the united states. what would you do to deal with that reclusive country? >> i would get china to make that guy disappear in one form

or another. very quickly. let me tell you. >> how do you make him disappear, assassinate him? >> well, i have heard of worse things, frankly. this guy is a bad dude. don't underestimate. any young guy can take over from his father with all the generals and any body else who want the position. this is not somebody to be underestimated. because china has control, absolute control of north korea. they don't say it. they do. and they should make that problem disappear. china is sucking us dry. they're taking our money. they're taking our jobs. they're doing so much. we have rebuilt china with what they have taken out. we have power over china. china should do that. now, iran. >> force the chinese to take care of north korea. >> force the chinese to do it. >> economically, charlie.

iran, iran gets in. we force iran to get in and do something with north korea. we didn't do anything. when we made that deal. that deal is a horror show. one of the worst i have ever seen. when we made the deal with iran, why didn't kerry stay you have to help us out. we have a problem. north korea. playing around with nuclears. nuclears the whole game changer. if it weren't for that. we shouldn't be in the middle east. we can't take a chance that somebody plays the nuclear game. we should have done that also. china in the meantime has tremendous power over north korea and, they take our money so. we have power over china. >> it may be off the front pages. the situation there is awful. we have the defense secretary, ash carter, in brussels, convening leaders, they say we need more u.s. leadership, we should commit u.s. ground troops. should we commit ground troops. >> syria is a different thing. i view isis, very important. i love the fact that russia is hitting isis. as the far as i'm concerned they have to continue hitting isis. >> in syria, russia is hitting the groups we are backing the. >> why are we backing the groups?
