complicated" now says he was simply wrong. this is the "cbs evening news." >> mason: good evening. i'm anthony mason. the united states and north korea exchanged new warnings today, the north threatening again to attack guam, and the u.s. warning of a response that would knock out the communist regime and destroy its people. at the same time, the secretary of state tried to reassure americans and the world that we are not on the brink of nuclear war. it all began yesterday with a statement from the president that caught everyone, including his top advisers, off guard. here's chief white house correspondent major garrett. >> reporter: faced with new evidence of north korea's nuclear progress and knowing the president had grown weary of diplomatic niceties, his national security advisers agreed on a tough statement. they didn't expect this: >> north korea best not make any

more threats to the united states. they will be met with fire and fury like the world has never seen. >> reporter: today, white house press secretary sarah sanders said advisers were aware of the president's tone beforehand but, "the words were his own." it was left to secretary of state rex tillerson to explain the comments, speaking while flying to guam for a previously scheduled refueling stop, tillerson said mr. trump was trying to get the attention of north korea's young dictator, who just yesterday threatened the american territory. >> what the president was doing is sending a strong message to north korea in language that kim jong-un would understand because he doesn't seem to understand diplomatic language. >> reporter: initial congressional reaction was critical of the president's "fire and fury" language but supportive voices emerged today, including republican senator marco rubio. >> i don't think the rhetoric is the problem.

i think the problem is there's a lunatic in north korea with nuclear weapons. >> reporter: today, the president tweeted that he had ordered a modernization of the u.s. nuclear arsenal and touted its unmatched power. in fact, it was president obama who directed billions over many years to improve aging nuclear weapons and delivery and targeting systems. the president did order an overall review of u.s. nuclear strategy earlier this year. advisers say the point of his rhetoric was to shift the conversation away from the u.s. being vulnerable to the stark military risks north korea faces if it doesn't change course. anthony. >> mason: major garrett with the president in new jersey. thanks. the defense secretary reinforced the president's warning today. david martin has more at the pentagon. >> reporter: defense secretary mattis bluntly warned north korea to "cease any consideration of actions that would lead to the end of its regime and the destruction of its people." that doomsday warning came a day after north korea threatened to

rain nuclear missiles on the american airbase on the pacific island of guam. the governor of guam tried to assure residents the island is american territory and will be protected by the american military. >> i've reached out to the white house this morning. an attack or threat on guam is a threat or attack on the united states. >> reporter: north korea made the threat after b-1 bombers had flown from guam over the korean peninsula in what has become a standard show of force in response to north korea's missile tests. returning from asia, secretary of state tillerson was asked if americans should be worried. >> no, i think americans should sleep well at night. >> reporter: mattis issued his warning shortly before touring the uss "kentucky" a ballistic missile submarine that could by itself annihilate north korea. "60 minutes" went on board the "kentucky" on patrol in the pafng. it can carry almost 200 nuclear warheads awant to missiles

loaded beneath those hatchs. commander brian freck was the captain. >> the warheads that can be carried on my missiles are extremely powerful. >> reporter: compare them to the bomb that leveled hiroshima. >> much more powerful than that, much more powerful than hiroshima. >> 8-4! >> reporter: and can of on any given day, several of these submarines are hiding in the world's oceans. >> sound the general alarms, sir. >> i have permission to fire. >> reporter: ...drilling to respond to a launch order from the president. pentagon officials say no new military orders vehicle issued despite the war-like rhetoric on both sides. but they warn, tensions are likely to remain high since the u.s. is scheduled to conduct an annual military exercise in south korea later this month. anthony. >> mason: david martin at the pentagon. thanks, david. there was sharp reaction in asia to the growing tension between the u.s. and north korea. ben tracy has that. >> reporter: south korea's

president says he will now allow the u.s. to fully deploy the antiballistic missile system known as thad in his country. it comes as he is also calling fair complete overhaul of south korea's military. presidenpresident trump's "fired fury" comments led to a large protest march in north korea orchestrated by the regime. in japan, trump's words came on the anniversary of the american atomic bomb in nagasaki, a reminder of what's at stake. japan's lawmakers are pushing for new weapons that could allow it to launch a preemptive strike on north korea. china is warning both kim jong-un's regime and the u.s. to tone down the rhetoric. in a statement to cbs news, china's foreign ministry called the situation "highly sensitive," and that all sides "should stop provoking each other." china does not want north korea to have nuclear weapons but sails the problem should be solved diplomatically.

it fears a war in the korean peninsula could lead to a refugee cries along the nearly 900-mile border ist shares with north korea. next week, north korea celebrates its liberation day holiday, which some analysts believe could lead kim jong-un to launch another missile or conduct a sixth, underground nuclear test. now, north korea just released a new statement, and in it they say that president trump "let out a load of nonsense about fire and fewery and that dialogue is not possible with such a guy berest of reason." it appears north korea is not yet ready to talk. anthony. >> mason: ben tracy in beijing. thank you, ben. we turn now to veteran diplomat bill richardson, former u.s. ambassador to the united nations, and an expert on north korea. mr. ambassador, where do we go after "fire and fury?" what's the best option for the u.s. now? >> best option is diplomacy. the best option is continued sanctions, see if they work,

continue to pressure china, continue the military exercises. but find a way to talk to the north koreans. >> mason: but kim jong-un hasn't shown a lot of interest in diplomacy aes to this point. >> we don't know what he wants. he's an unpredictable character. we don't know what his intentions are. he wants to stay in power. but i think in the end, once he knows that he can hit the united states with a missile, he can start negotiating. that's what-- the way his father was. but i think keeping the talk about preemptive military strikes and the president's very incendiary statement, which was not helpful, is not the way to go. >> mason: what do you make of north korea's threat towards guam? >> this is part of their foreign policy. however, the intensity of the attack, the specificity bothers me. the fact that the foreign minister himself, who is a reasonable guy-- i've dealt with him-- was so intense that i'm

just a little worried that that intensity is a little too strong. what you don't want to have is a miscalculation. >> mason: what's the risk here that we could start a war by accident? the risk is strong. a fishing boat is shot by the north koreans. air space is invaded. and the north koreans react, the south koreans react. everybody is trying to out-macho each other. >> mason: lastly mambassador, u.s. intelligence seemed to be surprised by the technical advances in north korea. does that worry you? >> that worries me because we should have been on this long ago. we should consider finding ways to put more intelligence, overflights, more spies because we were caught off guard. north korea was way more advanced than our intelligence people told us. that's a massive intelligence failure that should never happen again. >> mason: ambassador bill richardson. thank you so much for being with us. >> thank you. thank you. >> mason: now to the special

counsel's investigation of russian meddling in the u.s. election and whether anyone in the trump administration was involved. we learned today that the f.b.i. paid a visit two weeks ago to a home of paul manafort, the former trump campaign chairman, in alexandria, virginia. here's julianna goldman. >> reporter: armed with a search warrant, federal agents showed up early in the morning to go through paul manafort's home, an aggressive move in an escalating investigation. manafort spokesman jason maloni confirmed the search and emphasized his client "has consistently cooperated with law enforcement and other serious inquiries and did so on this occasion as well." but legal experts say the search warrant indicates special counsel robert mueller doesn't trust manafort. >> it suggests that they are concerned about possible evidence destruction. >> reporter: peter zeidenberg say former justice department prosecutor. >> i think that the takeaway is that they felt they weren't getting full cooperation because

if they did, they wouldn't feel the need to take a step of getting a search warrant. >> reporter: the day before his home was searched, manafort met with senate investigators to discuss the june 2016 meetath trump tower organized by donald trump jr. to meet a russian attorney whose whosupposedly had damaging information about hillary clinton. the special counsel is also looking into manafort's business dealings. typically in criminal investigations, prosecutors try to flip witnesses. in exchange for their cooperation, they lessen their legal liabilitys. mueller could be trying to do that now to pressure manafort. >> if they think he has information about the campaign, they would undoubtedly squeeze him for that and he'd be in a position, from a prosecutor's standpoint, to tell you what's going on, who is doing what, who knew what, when. >> reporter: manafort was officially part of the trump conservatism for only five months. campaign chairman for just three. put butt this development is

another sign of how close this investigation is hitting to the president's inner circle. the special counsel's office declined to comment. anthony. >> mason: julianna goldman, thanks. in pittsburgh today, 18 members of a swat team were rushed to a hospital after a drug raid that exposed them to a chemical, possibly fentanyl. that's an opioid at least 50 times more potent than heroin. the officers reported feeling dizzy and numb but were medically cleared. four people were arrested in connection with the raid. this could be the most active hurricane season in the atlantic since 2010. scientists at noaa predicted today there could be as many as 19 named storms by the end of november. so far, there have been six. the latest, hurricane franklin, is expected to hit the gulf coast of mexico tonight with heavy rain and gusts up to 90 miles an hour. the devastating floods that swamped new orleans last weekend have cost a number of officials their jobs.

demarco morgan is there. >> reporter: as heavy rains on saturday created flooding scenes reminiscent of hurricaneica treen a20 of the cities 121 drainage pumps were out of commission. sewerage and water board superintendent joe becker initially told us monday the pumping stations were working at full capacity. >> there was no problems with the pumps at all. all the pumps were working. all of them were pumping. >> reporter: but the following day at a city council meeting he was forced to backtrack. >> i was trying to say that-- that we-- that we used the available pumping capacity to its fullest extent. >> reporter: with nearly 10 inches of rain in three hours, becker said the pumps were overwhelmed, but he admitted, some were offline due to maintenance. one pump station operated jihadist 52% capacity. now, two officials in charge of the pumping and drainage system are out. moller-maersk mitch landrieu has asked for more resignation. >> when you have credibility issues around anything, whether

it's a big or small contributor to a major event, you have to do that. >> this is unacceptable on every level. >> reporter: frustrated residents like naaman stewart, demanded residents. >> if we flood like this in a typical new orleans summer rainstorm, what's going to happen in a hurricane? >> reporter: dwayne boudreaux is still cleaning the mess left by two feet of water in his grocery store. >> it's filthy water. it comes from off the streets, off the stiewrs, off the drains. it's on the shelves, got into the coolers. anything it touched, i've got to throw it away. >> reporter: it could take months to complete repairs on the broken pumps. but, anthony, the moller-maersk says even if the pumps were workath full capacity they were no match for this past weekend's historic storm. >> mason: demarco morgan with the pumping problems in new orleans. thanks, demarco. coming up next on the cbs evening news, dr. jon lapook on why stroke rates are dropping for men but not women.

>> mason: a study out today find the stroke rate for men has fallen but the rate for women has stayed the same. >> reporter: in 2013, diana hardeman was 30 years old, a vegetarian, a nonsmoker, a surfer, and the picture of health. until she had a stroke. >> the paralysis ended up seeping down from my arm to my leg, leaving the whole right side of my body basically immobile. i thought maybe i'm becoming paralyzed or potentially seeing death. >> reporter: that had to be just terrifying for you. >> it was terrifying. >> reporter: hardeman is an example of a puzzling and concerning trend. today's report found from 1999 to 2005, the incidence of stroke declined in both men and women, but from 2005 to 2010, while the rates among men continued to drop, they stayed the same for

women. dr. kathryn rexrode from brigham and women's hospital says risk factors for stroke, such as obesity, high blood pressure, an irregular heartbeat and diabetes may for some reason affect women differently than men. >> diabetes is a strong risk factor for stroke in both men and women, but in women the risk is 26% higher than in men with diabetes. >> you wanted blueberry, right? >> reporter: hardeman recovered and went back to her gourmet ice cream business in brooklyn, but last june she had a second stroke. >> i had to stop being c.e.o. of my ice cream business and start being c.e.o. of my health and put that as my priority. which i did. >> reporter: this time, doctors found the cause-- a small hole in her heart, and repaired it. >> when i was told that i had a stroke, i've always associated it with the elderly, something that your grandmother has, but never thought it would be something that would happen to me. >> reporter: you can remember symptoms of a stroke using the

word "fast." and if you get to the hospital quickly enough, doctors may be able to limit permanent damage by using medicine to dissolve a blood clot in the brain. >> mason: so knowing the symptoms can literally save your life. jon, thank you very much. coming up, a jersey boy on broadway.

this is a lot harder to hack than something like this: >> it's probably better to do fairly long passwords that are phrases or something like that, that you can remember, than to try to get people to do lots of funny characters. >> reporter: so a couple of months back, the guidelines were rewritten to reflect this discovery. burr is now retired, but he helped out. do you have any regrets about the original guidance you furnished? >> yeah, i do. i think i could have done a better job of figuring out some of the things that we now know, or at least of guessing them. >> reporter: if only regret was as easy to forget as the passwords he helped create. jim axelrod, cbs, news, new york. >> mason: darn. now i have to change all of those passwords all over again. that's the cbs evening news. i'm anthony mason in new york. thanks for watching. good night.
