participated in. where i saw people of good will pledge to work together to reduce violence that rob all of our communities. >> joining us now with some important insight is bill bratton, the new york city police commissioner and former police chief in los angeles. commissioner, how do the police help to stop this cycle of violence? >> well, first off, i think it's quite clear we're in perilous times, the country and the police profession, and the dual obligation of the police is to protect the public while at the same time trying to protect themselves. we're in unchartered waters here at this particular point in time in american policing, world policing for that matter. we have new threats of terrorism. we have the assassination issues. we have always the concern about crime. and so policing in america is getting a lot more difficult. fortunately, american policing

have stood up to the challenges in the past and we work very hard to stand up to them again. >> you had two officers shot and killed, targeted, sitting in their police car. i wonder, what did you change after that? what did you learn from that? >> we changed quite a bit. we had two of our police officers in uniform sitting in a marked car were assassinated. an individual traveled up by train from baltimore. it was during the time of all the turmoil in ferguson and the chokehold here in new york. they were murdered because they were police officers. that was the motivation. since that time, we have done a lot in new york. we have thoroughly changed our training technology, for example. the smart phones. they have 35,000 of these now out in the field. the tragedy of that event, we received notice that this individual was coming to new york. we got the information just about the same time those two officers were being murdered. today we put out continual notifications to our officers updating every one of our 35,000 on what is happening. photographs if we have them when we have suspects.

so we've done a lot on the technology side, but as importantly, we've done a lot on the community side. the idea of building relationships, building trust. it's quite clear in a lot of our communities, particularly minority communities, there's not trust in american policing. there's not trust in american government for that matter. and we need to find ways to see each other, to hear each other, to find common ground that we can stand on and have dialogue and not assassinations, not murders, not violence. >> bill bratton, thanks for your time. >> thank you. the cbs overnight news will be right back.

here in ohio today, governor john kasich turned down a call from the cleveland police union head to suspend open carry laws during this convention. the governor said he just doesn't have the authority to do it. jeff pegues is covering the convention and following events in baton rouge as well. jeff? >> reporter: just ten days ago, the fbi sent out a bulletin to law enforcement in louisiana warning of violence. the bulletin cited chatter online calling for people to kill officers in louisiana. and just last week, the fbi warned local police in miami of threats. many departments in that area doubled up on patrols.

in fact, many departments across the country have ordered officers to patrol in pairs. today new york, chicago and boston polce departments reiterated that order. some of those directives came after a gunman killed five dallas police officers and wounded another nine at a rally on july 7th. here in cleveland at the convention, police now bracing for the prospect that some of these protests could get out of control. obviously complicating matters is this open carry law, but police say, scott, that they are prepared. >> jeff pegues in our convention news room tonight. jeff, thank you. the violence has overshadowed the convention that begins here tomorrow, but it did give the republican candidate an opportunity as well. here's major garrett. >> reporter: the police deaths in baton rouge intensified donald trump's solidarity with law enforcement and his own restive party's focus on law and order. how many law enforcement and people have to die because of a

lack of leadership in our country? we demand law and order, trump said on social media, adding later, our country is divided and out of control. the world is watching. >> you're fired. >> reporter: on the eve of a convention set to nominate the former reality tv star, billionaire and political novice, a new cbs news poll showed 75% of voters in key swing states are pessimistic about the direction of the country. an anxiety team trump intends to exploit. >> the gridlock in which hillary clinton has been not just a card-carrying member but a leader of has created a situation in the united states where people can't afford to live. >> reporter: mindful of the bloodshed back home, louisiana republican delegates decided to ride out the convention with heavy hearts instead of returning home. >> i'm just shocked. i'm just stunned. i'm depressed. to start the week like this

won't be a week of celebration. it's like the balloon has been burst. >> reporter: a top republican strategist has described the atmosphere here as solemn and slightly on edge. >> you look at where we are domestically and foreign policy wise, right now the world is a very unstable place. we need law and order. we need stability. we need a steady hand. >> renegade efforts to deny trump the nomination through rules challenges have repeatedly failed. a last-ditch effort is scheduled for this convention tomorrow. top rnc officials tell us they'll use the same muscle throughout and predicted party unity eventually will prevail. >> major, thank you. joining us now are cbs news political director and anchor of "face the nation" john dickerson. john, when you look at these events of the last several weeks, there was dallas, orlando, nice, the coup in turkey. the world seems chaotic. how do you think that changes the dynamics of the conventions and the race for president?

>> well, we're about to have two weeks of choreographed events made to make these candidates look presidential. but those events you mentioned abroad and at home have interrupted those scripts. and they are now presenting the candidates with actual presidential tests. the first is, what will they look like if they go into that briefing room as the president did today? will they have the words for the moment. and that means will they be able to give people some sense of directions, some sense of controlling the chaos when they think the culture is tearing. and then beyond words, do they have a deeper understanding of these issues? do they have some vision and a mindset and the emotional balance to carry out whatever their plans are? presidents often complain when they're in the white house that they don't have control over events. and now these candidates before two preprogrammed weeks are getting a taste of what that's like. >> it's impossible to handicap these things, but does chaos on the world stage benefit one

campaign over another? >> well, it really depends on how they react. the tension in the system is that both candidates are trying to disqualify the other, which means in an anxious time when people are anxious, each candidate is saying you should be more anxious if my opponent gets elected. which means that at a time when everybody is already pretty jittery, the campaign might make them more so. >> the insight of john dickerson, our political director who will be with us all week long. john, thanks very much. cbs live news coverage of the republican national convention will begin tomorrow on the "cbs evening news" and we'll have an hour-long prime time special each evening at 10:00 eastern time, 9:00 central. that is 7:00 in the west and, of course, there will be extensive coverage every morning on "cbs this morning." coming up next on this special edition from cleveland, "60 minutes lesley stahl asked donald trump whether he would send u.s. ground troops to fight isis. ♪ susie got all germy

shortly after donald trump formally introduced indiana governor mike pence as his running mate yesterday, they sat down with lesley stahl in trump's apartment in new york for their first joint interview. here's what you'll see tonight on "60 minutes."

>> you said you want to declare war on isis. >> it is war. >> do you want to send troops in there? is that what you mean? >> we have people who hate us. we have people that want to wipe us out. we have people who will try to wipe us out. and as you know, as everyone knows, i was against the war in iraq. i was totally against it. i said it would destabilize the middle east. and it has. that's exactly what happened. it was a very bad decision. the way president obama got us out of that war was a disaster. >> do you want to get us back in there? >> no, i want to win. let me explain. >> but declare war. >> we're going to declare war against isis. we have to wipe out isis. these are people that -- >> with troops on the ground? >> i am going to have very few troops on the ground. we are going to have unbelievable intelligence, which we need. which right now we don't have. we don't have the people over there. >> you want to send american troops -- >> excuse me. we're going to have surrounding states and very importantly, get

nato involved because we support nato far more than we should frankly because you have a lot of countries that aren't doing what they're supposed to be doing. we have to wipe out isis. hillary clinton invented isis with her stupid policies. she is responsible for isis. she led barack obama -- because i don't think he knew anything. i think he relied on her. as bernie sanders said, her judgment is so bad. she's got bad judgment, got bad instincts. >> i still don't know if you're going to send troops over. >> very little. i'm going to get neighboring states. we're going to get nato. >> but declare, what does that mean? >> this is the kind of leadership that america needs. it begins with deciding to destroy the enemies of our freedom. >> how? >> how we do that, i have every confidence -- you remember, i served on the foreign affairs committee. i was there. i visited iraq and afghanistan. >> but that's when we had troops in there. >> and we had troops in there. and i watched that war go so

poorly. then i watched the surge. by the time barack obama becomes president of the united states, iraq was stable. but it was his precipitous withdrawal leading up until the last election that created the anarchy in which isis arose out of the sand. >> the "cbs overnight news" will be right back.

tonight, a key u.s. ally is still reeling from that attempt to overthrow the government. a faction within turkey's military sent war planes and tanks to major cities on friday. nearly 300 people were killed. but the coup failed and now turkey's president is filling the jails with his enemies. holly williams is in istanbul. >> the turkish government has moved swiftly.

rounding up not just the soldiers who attempted to seize power, but others who it views as enemies, including judges and prosecutors. people are now in custody with more arrests to come. at a funeral for some of those killed in the failed coup, the president recep tayyip erdogan vows to eradicate the virus that caused it. it was a night of chaos and violen violence. tanks rolled on to city streets. fighter jets buzzed overhead, a bomb tore through turkey's parliament and members of the military took control of turkish state tv, announcing martial law. but when president erdogan called in from his cell phone urging his supporters to rise up, thousands did. nearly 300 people lost their lives in the clashes including some of the coup plotters.

by early saturday morning, the soldiers were surrendering and supporters were celebrating. but the president, who is an islamic conservative is himself accused of undermining turkey's democracy, locking up his rivals and seizing control of an opposition newspaper. anger over erdogan's authoritarian tactics apparently provoked the attempted coup. and many fear there will now be worse to come. turkey is a key u.s. ally in the fight against isis. with american war planes using a turkish base to launch air strikes. president erdogan's combative style has often frustrated u.s. officials, but america also wants a stable turkey in a region as volatile as this one. >> holly williams in istanbul for us tonight. thank you. and we'll be back in a moment

with an update on the police assassinations in baton rouge.

>> late today police in kansas city, missouri, blocked off the street and surrounded the house where gavin long lived. long was the gunman that ambushed and shot the six officers in baton rouge this morning before being killed by the police. we're going to end tonight with the dean of american political reporters, our own bob shieffer who is covering his 24th convention. bob has a little historical perspective. >> you know, scott, watching all of this unfold and more and more, this reminds me of my first convention, the 1968

convention in chicago. when the democratic party tore itself apart literally over an unpopular war and the assassinations of martin luther king jr. and bobby kennedy. we wondered then if the whole country was coming apart. in the end, it didn't, but i believe it came very close. now after another horrendous day in baton rouge, we're feeling a sense of helplessness and loss of confidence in our institutions as we did then. they seem impotent in the face of terrible problems and a growing divide is there between blacks and whites. as this convention unfolds, there's going to be a lot of talk, but no instant solutions will be found here, nor will there be any such thing at next week's democratic gathering. these problems have been a long time building. and they won't be solved in the next two weeks. democrats and republicans now face the same challenge, find ways to work together to solve our problems or they can continue to work against each other and the one thing we do know is so far that approach hasn't worked very well. >> the insights of bob shieffer. thanks.

bob, you'll be with us all week long as we have coverage on the "cbs evening news" on "cbs this morning" and also our prime time coverage every night this week beginning at 10:00 eastern time. >> thank you so much. >> going to be great to have you with us, bob. thank you. and that's the overnight news for this monday. 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 site of the republican national convention in cleveland, i'm scott pelley.

welcome to the overnight news. i'm jamie yuccas. security is tight in cleveland where the republican party is gathering for today's opening of the gop national convention. donald trump and indiana governor mike pence will officially get the endorsement of the rank and file and try to unite the party the fall campaign against democrat hill clinton. demonstrations are planned throughout the week. and since ohio is an open carry state, a lot of those protesters are likely to be legally armed. the head of the local police union wants that law suspended until the convention is over, but ohio governor john kasich says he doesn't have the authority. meanwhile, another shooting left three police officers dead in baton rouge, louisiana.

then there was the ambush in dallas that claimed the lives of five officers. and, of course, last week's deadly terror attack in france. all of this casting a shadow over the convention. major garret is in cleveland with the latest. >> reporter: the police deaths in baton rouge intensified donald trump's solidarity with law enforcement and his own restive party's focus on law and order. how many law enforcement and people have to die because of a lack of leadership in our country? we demand law and order, trump said on social media. adding later, our country is divided and out of control. the world is watching. >> you're fired. >> reporter: on the eve of a convention set to nominate the former reality tv star, billionaire and political novice, a sbs news poll showed 75% of voters in swing states are pessimistic about the future of the country. an anxiety the trump team intends to exploit. >> the gridlock in which hillary clinton has been not just a card-carrying member but a leader of has created a

situation in the united states where people can't afford to live. >> reporter: mindful of the bloodshed back home, louisiana republican delegates decided to ride out the convention with heavy hearts instead of returning home. >> i'm just shocked. i'm just done. i'm depressed. to start the week like this won't be a week of celebration. it's like the balloon has been burst. >> reporter: renegade efforts to deny trump the nomination through rules challenges have repeatedly failed. a last ditch effort is scheduled for tomorrow. top rnc officials tell us they'll use the same muscle throughout and predicted party unity eventually will prevail. donald trump waited until just before the convention to name his running mate, indiana governor mike pence. pence is viewed as a reliable conservative who has a good rapport with congress. he served six terms in the house of representatives. the gop running mates discussed the race ahead with lesley stahl for "60 minutes." >> first of all, congratulations.

this has probably come as a huge life-changing moment for you. >> it has. it's very humbling. i couldn't be more honored to have the opportunity to run with and serve with the next president of the united states. >> before we actually talk about the politics, you know, there have been so many major world events very recently in the last week. i don't know if you can remember the last time we have seen a world this much in chaos. you even said it's spinning apart. are you ready for this world that we are facing today? >> we're both ready. i have no doubt. we need toughness, we need strength. obama is weak. hillary is weak. and part of it is that, a big part of it. we need law and order. we need strong borders. >> but all reactions to what's going on aren't muscular. happening in turkey. there was a military coup in a

democratic country, a nato ally. how would you rerespond to that? >> well, as a president, i'm going to be -- you know, they've been an ally, and i stay with our allies. they had been an ally, but that was a quick coup. i was actually surprised to see how well it was handled. and you know who really handled it, the people. when they surrounded the army tanks and without the people you would never have had it. the military would have taken over. >> but i truly do believe the larger issue here is declining american power in the world. i truly do believe that history teaches that weakness arouses evil. and whether it be the horrific attack in france, the inspired attacks here in the united states, the instability in turkey that led to a coup, i think that is all a result of a foreign policy of hillary clinton and barack obama that has led from behind and that has sent an inexact, unclear message about american resolve.

one reason i said yes in a heart beat to running with this man is because he provides american strength. i know he will provide that broad shouldered american strength on the global stage as well. >> let's talk about what happened in nice. horrendous carnage. horrible of innocents. horrible. you said you would declare war against isis. what exactly -- >> it is war. >> when you say declare war, do you want to send american troops in there? is that what you mean? >> look, we have people that hate us. we have people who want to wipe us out. we're going to declare war against isis. we have to wipe out isis. >> with troops on the ground? >> i'm going to have very few troops on the ground. we're going to have unbelievable intelligence, which we need. which right now we don't have. we don't have the people over there. we are going to -- >> but you want to send american -- >> excuse me, we're going to have surrounding states and very importantly, get nato involved because we support nato far more than we should, frankly. you have a lot of countries that

aren't doing what they're supposed to be doing. we have to wipe out isis. speaking of turkey, turkey is an ally. turkey can do it by themselves. but they have to be incentivized. for whatever reasoner they're not. so we have no choice. >> but i still don't know if you're going to send troops over. >> very little. i'm going to get neighboring states and we're going to get nato. we're going to wipe them out. >> declare war, what does that mean? >> this is the kind of leadership that america needs. it begins with deciding to destroy the enemies of our freedom. >> how? >> how we do that, i have every confidence that -- you remember, i served on the foreign affairs committee. and i'm very confident that when donald trump becomes president of the united states, he'll give a directive to our military

commanders, bring together other nations and we will use the enormous resources of the united states to destroy that enemy. >> look, we are going to get rid of isis big league, and with we're going to get rid of him fast. we're going to use surrounding states. we're going to use nato probably. and they're going to come tumbling down. i have friends that are still suffering -- >> well, we did go to war if you remember. we went to iraq. >> but that was handled so badly. that was a war that we shouldn't have been in. >> your running mate voted for it. >> i don't care. >> what do you mean you don't care that he voted? >> it was a long time ago. and he voted that way. and they were also misled. >> but you harped on this. >> i was against the war in iraq from the beginning. >> but you used that vote of hillary's that was the same as governor pence, the example of her bad judgment. >> many people have. and frankly i'm one of the few that was right on iraq. he's enitled to make a mistake every once in a while. >> but she's not? >> she's not. >> we'll have more of the

interview with don

welcome back to the "overnight news." the republican party will gather today in cleveland for the opening of the gop national convention. before traveling to ohio donald trump and his vp choice michael pence sat down for a chat with lesley stahl of "60 minutes." >> i got to know him well and i gained great respect per him. and i looked at the numbers, meaning the financials, which we would say in business. but i looked at the numbers. unemployment, what a great job he did. jobs, what a great job he did. aaa rating on his bonds. >> but you went to him and said -- >> i did. >> did you want to be considered? and then he said i really want it. hy did you pick him? >> i would say he thought about it a little bit and about two seconds later he called me with his incredible wife. like many others. >> how does he help you win in terms of groups of people?

and what is your weakness that he compensates for. >> well, i went for the quality individual rather than i'm going to win a state. because i'm doing very well in indiana. i guess i'm a lot up. i think i'm going to win indiana. i have a great relationship and bobby knight helped me so much with indiana. indiana is a great place. >> why didn't you pick him? no, i'm joking. >> terrific guy. but i really like him as an individual. >> of so you must have considered obviously by the reaction to your choice a lot of the conservatives are very happy. was that part of the -- >> yes, it was part of unity. i'm an outsider. i'm a person that used to be establishment when i would give them hundreds of thousands of dollars. but when i decided to run, i became very anti-establishment, because i understand the system better than anybody else. >> is he establishment? >> he's very establishment in many ways, but that's not a bad thing. >> kind of interesting. >> i have seen more people that

frankly did not like me so much and now they're saying what a great pick. you see the kind of reaction. he has helped bring the party together. i understand -- look, i got more votes than anybody, but i also understand there's a faction. >> is it already unified do you think? soo. >> i think it's very close to unified. >> just because of this pick? >> no. i think it was much more unified than people thought. you saw that with the recent vote where we won in a landslide. you saw that with the big vote, the primary vote. i think it's far more unified that the press lets on. but having governor mike pence has really -- people that i wasn't necessarily liking or getting along with are loving

this pick. because the such respect for me. >> and that was the main thing? >> i think it's okay i picked somebody because of that as one of the things. but i really believe the main reason i picked him is the incredible job he's done. just look at the economics of indiana. >> what about the chemistry between you two? you don't really know each other that well. you're, at least i read, a very low key, very religious. you're a brash new yorker. >> religious. >> religious? >> religious, yeah. i won the evangelicals. >> that doesn't mean you're -- >> i think it means a lot. i don't think they think i'm perfect. and they would get up and say he's not perfect, but -- >> they point to your divorces. >> i won states with the evangelicals that nobody thought i would even come close to. >> so you didn't need him for the evangelicals. >> i think it helps. but i don't think i needed him, no. because i won with the evangelicals. >> i think we have more in common -- >> tell me what you have in common, besides issues, values and things like that. >> i think we will have very,

very good chemistry. i can feel that. i don't think you need to be with somebody for two years to find that out. >> your gut feeling? >> i know during the primaries, during many trips to indiana, i would be with him. >> i want to ask you something you said about negative campaigning. you said negative campaigning is wrong. and a campaign ought to demonstrate the basic decency of the candidate. with that in mind, what do you think about your running mate's campaign and the tone and the negativity of it? >> i think this is a good man who's been talking about the issues the american people talk about. >> but name calling? lying ted? >> i said campaigns ought to be about something more important than just one candidate's election. and this campaign and donald trump's candidacy has been about the issues american people care about. >> what about the negative side? he apologized for being -- >> we're different people. i understand that. i'll give you an example. hillary clinton is a liar. hillary clinton -- i was just proven last week. >> that's negative, by the way. >> hillary clinton is a crook. i call her crooked hillary.

she's crooked hillary. i didn't ask him to do it. but i don't think he should do it, because it's different for him. he's not that kind of a person. >> but don't you think he thinks that's wrong? >> i don't think he should use that term. i never said one way or the other. but to him, i don't think it would sound right. but he will say how dishonest she is by going over the facts. >> would you go to him -- let's say you won. you're the vice president, your office is, i i assume down the hall and you go in and say you shouldn't be name calling. would you do that? would you go in and say you crossed the line, i think you should apologize. would you do something like that? he's laughing. >> it's probably -- >> it's okay. >> it's probably obvious to people that our styles are different. but i promise you, our vision is exactly the same. >> but would you -- would you answer that? >> this man appreciates candor. >> so you would go in? >> i would like him to.

>> would you listen to him? >> absolutely. i might not apologize. i might not do that. >> you can see more of the interview on our website. and, of course, cbs will have live prime time coverage of the republican convention throughout the week. hey spray 'n wash is back...ws? and even better. it's powerful formula removes everyday stains the first time. which is bad news for stains, and good news for you. spray 'n wash. back 'n better. this pimple's gonna aw com'on.ver. clearasil ultra works fast to begin visibly clearing up skin in as little as 12 hours. and acne won't last forever. just like your mom won't walk in on you... forever. let's be clear. clearasil works fast. takbbq trophies:hese best cracked pepper sauce...

france is still reeling from last week's terror attack in nice that left 84 people dead and more than 200 others injured. the terrorist was a tunesian born french president. he was known to local police as a petty criminal but had no prior links to terror. his weapon of choice -- a rented truck and he used it to plow through a massive crowd of people watching fireworks along the beach. seth doane has the latest. >> reporter: there was not just one memorial for the victims in nice, but dozens and dozens of them. they're carefully placed up and down the waterfront, each one a tribute to the lives lost on a more than mile long stretch of road where that truck came

careening through the crowd. emotion is raw, and for those who were there that night, it's not just what they saw. >> when he was running over bodies, you heard the noise, the crack, just the sound of running over people, the screams. >> coming to nice for bastille day is a family tradition? >> oh, yeah. >> aliya jordan and her mom sylvia have been coming to nice from north carolina for more than a decade. on thursday night, that truck came barrelling towards them. sylvia jordan's father got caught underneath. >> and i noticed that my dad, his lower leg was gashed open. the bone was sticking out. everything was open. >> how was it to see something like this? >> it's traumatic. it doesn't feel real. there's nothing you can do. you're just completely hopeless. you try and flag down ambulances and people who are grabbing your hand and pulling you back because they know there's nothing you can do. people just cry. they hang on to their loved one. there's nothing you can do.

>> he lost his leg but survived. this video shot by an eyewitness is too disturbing to show in its entirety, but reveals the horror that unfolded that night. was there enough security in place? i don't think so, christian estrosi, the nice mayor told us. he told us france is at war with radical islam and supports his government's view that the attacker, committed a terrorist act. i asked for the same security measures to be put in place for bastille day here as france had for the euro 2016 sporting event estrosi told us. unfortunately that wasn't the case. 30,000 people gathered along nice's waterfront for the holiday.

and the packed promenade made a vulnerable target for bouhlel's 21-ton truck going 55 miles an hour. you see the intelligence. who was this man? we know he was arrested in january for violent acts. we're talking about a dangerous individual. the attacker was 31 years old and lived alone in this neighborhood in nice. he was estranged from his wife and kids, and though he was known to police as a petty criminal, he was known on any terrorist watch list. estrosi believes he was not acting alone and an attack in his city is exactly what he was worried about. you're a mayor, you're an elected official. this happened on your watch.

i'm not taking this well at all, he admitted, and i don't want any suffering like that in my country. after the attack these hotels became makeshift hospitals. the lobbies turned into trauma centers to deal with the flood of victims. those who were still able helped as they could. this police officer and his wife, a nurse, had been out celebrating and once they got their kids to safety, they rushed to work. in that moment you just react, but this nurse admitted to us, today i went to see a counseling service and i broke down. you say you went to see a psychologist? why? what did you talk with the psychologist about? it's not human, she said. what we saw is not human.
