then lowered the volume today. the shoot-from-the-lip candidate stuck to a script for once in his foreign policy speech. following a five-state sweep, trump is well on his way to the republican presidential nomination. ted cruz's headlights began the fade in the rear-view mirror as the texas senator came in not second but third in four of the five states. major garrett is in indianapolis. >> reporter: >> it's time to shake the rust off america's foreign policy. it's time to invite new voices and new visions into the fold. >> reporter: with a slower cadence and less-inflamtory words, donald trump sketched out a foreign policy he described as america first, vowing not to entangle the u.s. in more middle east conflict. >> we've made the middle east more unstable and chaotic than ever before. >> reporter: but he made one major exemption, isis.

them: their days are numbered. i won't tell them where, and i won't tell them how. >> reporter: even that message was a sharp contrast to his previous threats against the terror group. >> i would bomb the [bleeped] out of them. >> reporter: trump also said he would require nato nations to contribute more to the defense alliance and would pressure china to confront north korea on nuke her weapons and would reach out to russia to find common ground. >> the next vice president of the united states, carly fiorina. >> reporter: the day after being mathematically eliminated from a first-ballot nomination, ted cruz announced he would pick the former hewlett packard c.e.o. as his running mate if he becomes the g.o.p. nominee at a contested convention. >> it is unusual to make the announcement as early as we're doing so now. well, i think all would acknowledge this race, if anything, it is unusual. >> reporter: cruz and his new v.p. pick hope to stop trump's

indiana. >> ted cruz is going to do what he has done before last night, beat donald trump in states. >> reporter: here in indiana? >> we'll see, but i think he's going to do very well. >> reporter: fiorina told us republicans need a contested convention because trump represents a threat to the soul of the party. scott, when we asked if all those millions of trump supporters are soulless republicans, fiorina said, no, and admitted some of her friends are trump voters. >> pelley: major garrett for us tonight. major, thank you. the exit polls we conducted yesterday show that trump's popularity appears to be increasing among republicans and with some incite into all this, i'm joined by bob schieffer in washington. bob? >> reporter: scott, you can forget that part about donald trump being just a candidate of the angry, frustrated, poorly educated rural republicans who are fed up with the republican establishment. he won everywhere among every group in last night's five-state

the establishment he opposes is strongest. he won handily in maryland's affluent montgomery county, the washington suburb where many in the republican establishment live. maryland small businessman james shortly. >> i like the way he's straightforward. another thing i like about billionaires is you can't push them around. >> reporter: he won even bigger in fairfield county, connecticut, home of many elites who work on wall street. connecticut are resident elizabeth krull. >> i believe that he believes in america, and he is a businessman. >> reporter: bucks county pennsylvania, always a bellwether, left no doubt which republican it liked. trump won bucks county big. this blowout sent new shock waves through the establishment republicans here in washington with polls consistently showing more than 60% of general election voters don't like trump. they were hoping against hope to block him from the nomination.

that's possible. so what's the new strategy? one senator told me today, raise as much money as we can for our senate candidates. another one said, at least we can take heart that polls show a majority of americans don't like hillary clinton either. >> pelley: the insight of bob schieffer tonight. bob, thank you. well, hillary clinton won four out of five last night, and she now has 90% of the delegates she needs, and hundreds of staffers working for the sanders' campaign were let go today. nancy cordes has the democrats covered. >> bernie, bernie! >> reporter: the sanders' campaign insisted today the hundreds of layoffs don't mean he's giving up. >> i am very good in arithmetic, and i can count delegates, and we are behind today. but you know what? unusual things happen in politics. >> reporter: campaign aides say they will focus most of

winning california on june 7th. >> hillary, hillary! >> reporter: the strategy complicates clinton's efforts to win over his supporters. >> and i applaud senator sanders and his millions of supporters for challenging us to get unaccountable money out of our politics. >> reporter: sanders rejected the notion that he's helping the republicans by continuing to criticize his party's likely nominee. >> they don't need my speeches to talk about hillary clinton. they will go after hillary clinton, by the way, in ways that i have never ever gone after hillary clinton. >> reporter: but his decision to stay in the race until the end worries some democratic voters like william george of philadelphia. >> if you don't support her, there's a good chance that trump could very well win. >> reporter: the sanders' campaign insists he's invigorating the party, and they say if he's the nominee, they'll hire all of those laid-off

election, but, scott, at this point he would need to win about 80% of the remaining delegates the catch up. >> pelley: nancy cordes for us tonight. nancy, thank you. well, no republican has served as speaker of the house longer than dennis hastert. during the clinton and george w. bush years, he was second in line to the presidency. today dean reynolds was in the courtroom as hastert admitted for the first time to being a serial child molester. >> reporter: withered and wheelchair-bound, former speaker of the house dennis hastert came to federal court for a public shaping he brought on himself. in the courtroom, hastert finally admitted he had molested boys on the yorkville high school wrestling team he coached decades ago. "what i did was wrong," he said, "and i regret it." judge thomas durkin suggested that was not enough. "nothing is more stunning than having serial child molester and speaker of the house in the same sentence," the judge said. zachary fardon is the u.s.

>> mr. hastert's legend and legacy are gone, and in its place are a broken, humiliated man. that is as it should be. >> reporter: six months ago hastert pleaded guilty to violating banking laws by repeatedly making large cash withdrawals. his undoing began in 2014 when he told the f.b.i. he was keeping the money, though it was actually going to one of his victims, known as individual a as a kind of compensation for his misdeeds. hastert lied again when he said individual a was blackmailing him, a claim a judge called an unconscionable attempt to victimize a victim one more time. individual a was 14 when the abuse started. and hastert was forced to face his accusers this time. another victim, scott cross, who is now 53, tearfully recalled a lifelong trauma from being abused by his coach at the age

"it was my darkest secret," he said. "i was devastated. jolene burdge testified on behalf of her brother stephen reinboldt who died of aids in 1995 after telling her hastert had abused him throughout high school. "you were supposed to keep him safe," she said, "not violate him." pamela youngville of yorkville voted for hastert many times. >> you can't even begin to talk about what a betrayal that is of everything he claimed to be versus everything that he turned out to be. >> reporter: in sentencing the 74-year-old hastert to 15 months in prison, scott, judge durkin exceeded the recommendations of the prosecutors, and while the statute of limitations on hastert's now-admitted sexual misconduct ran out a long time ago, the judge said there are some things that are unforgivable, no matter how old they are. >> pelley: dean reynolds reporting for us. dean, thank you. tonight two law enforcement

prescription medications were found in prince's possession and in his house when he died last week. it is not clear yet if these medications played a role in the singer's death, but the d.e.a. is investigating where the drugs came from and whether they were prescribed to prince. there were more dangerous storms today across the western plains. this tornado hovering over suburban omaha touched down several times but in major damage. another twister left stanton, iowa, largely unharmed. one year ago tonight, baltimore erupted in riots after the funeral of freddie gray, an african american whose neck was mysteriously broken while in custody in a police van. the police commissioner anthony batts was fired. since that moment, batts has maintained his silence, that is until tonight in an interview with jeff pegues.

gritting my teeth and say, move, go, go. >> reporter: when the rioting started, former police commissioner anthony batts remembers wondering why his officers were reacting so slowly. he denies an allegation from the police union that officers were told to give the protesters room. you're saying it's not accurate? >> i'm telling you that the mayor never told me or gave me an order to stand down. i never heard her at any given point in time give anybody an order to stand down. i never told anybody to stand down. >> reporter: batts says the real problem was training. >> we didn't have enough time to get prepared the way we should. that falls on me. i take accountability for that protest. >> reporter: within days six police officers had been arrested on various charges for putting freddie gray in a police van unrestrained and for 45 minutes denying him medical care. should the six officers have been charged? >> i'm going to answer your question like this: unfortunately in my career, in

job, i've had to tell wives that their husbands have been killed on duty. the only time i've kind of lost it was talking to my police officers in baltimore about these six officers. >> reporter: batts says gray's death and the subsequent riots exposed deeper problems in baltimore. >> it's the straw that broke the camel's back, that unleashed that. you have to talk about the racial issues in that city. people don't like to talk about those things, but you have separate but equal taking place in that city. >> reporter: even before the riots, commissioner batts' critics accused him of being out of touch with the city and rank-and-file officers. scott, the trials of the accused officers resume next month. late last year first one ended with a mistrial. >> pelley: jeff pegues with the exclusive interview tonight. jeff, thank you. coming up, two parents bury their son, but not the truth. and female sports reporters face

when the "cbs evening news" continues. mary buys a little lamb. one of millions of orders on this company's servers. accessible by thousands of suppliers and employees globally. but with cyber threats on the rise, mary's data could be under attack. with the help of the at&t network, a

>> pelley: a mother and father buried their son today, but they refused to bury the truth of his death. demarco morgan is in bridgewater, massachusetts. [bell tolls] >> reporter: families, friends, even strangers watched as the coffin carrying the body of emmett scannell, a 20-year-old college sophomore, made its way into central square congregational church. inside an emotional father celebrated the life of his oldest boy, an honor student on full academic scholarship. with painful honesty, he told the world that heroin made it

>> our honesty and openness in his obituary is so other parents can follow suit without shame or embarrassment. >> reporter: bill scannell and emmett's mom amy decided to be open about the cause of their son's death. they posted this facebook message with their son's obituary, and emmett's dad read it before all today. >> when you look at this picture, do you see a junkie? do you see a desperate young man addicted to heroin? do you see someone so sad or depressed he had become a prisoner of his own life? >> reporter: emmett was on heroin for just 18 months, in and out of rehab while in school. >> he was looking for next high. i think it's a disease. he was looking for the next best thing. >> i had him right there. i whispered in his ear. i said, "emmett, please don't shoot those." and i love you." he looked me right in the eye and he said, "i promise i won't.

11 days later on april 20th, he was dead. >> reporter: the public plea is already making an impact. >> a close friend of mine came up and hugged me and whispered in our ear that her daughter, who had been a heroin addict with substance abuse saw emmett's story, they were leaving right from the funeral to check her into detox immediately. >> reporter: here in massachusetts, four people die every day from opioid overdoses, and, scott, the scannell family says they are on a mission to bring those numbers down. >> pelley: there is help. it works. and it's easy to find. demarco morgan with such an important story tonight.

and we'll be right back. with my moderate to severe ulcerative colitis, the possibility of a flare was almost always on my mind. thinking about what to avoid, where to go... and how to deal with my uc. to me, that was normal. until i talked to my doctor. she told me that humira helps people like me get uc under control and keep it under control when certain medications haven't worked well enough. humira can lower your ability to fight infections, including tuberculosis. serious, sometimes fatal infections and cancers, including lymphoma, have happened; as have blood, liver, and nervous system problems, serious allergic reactions, and new or worsening heart failure. before treatment, get tested for tb. tell your doctor if you've been to areas where certain fungal infections are common, and if you've had tb, hepatitis b, are prone to infections, or have flu-like symptoms or sores. don't start humira if you have an infection. raise your expectations. ask your gastroenterologist about humira. with humira, control is possible.

>> pelley: today the nerve left its key interest rate unchained. the economy slowed over the past month, but the job market is improving. not improving are the grades of american high school seniors. the nation's report card today from the national center for education statistics shows only 37% of 12th graders are prepared for college in math and reading. math scores dropped slightly. reading scores held steady. one of the first female army rangers is at the top of her class. captain christian rice will graduate tomorrow from the maneuver captain's career course, making her the army's first female infantry officer. more women are marching in behind her. the army has approved requests from 22 female cadets to enter the infantry and armor branch.

that's coming up. look, the wolf was huffing and puffing. like you do sometimes, grandpa? well, when you have copd, it can be hard to breathe. it can be hard to get air out, which can make it hard to get air in. so i talked to my doctor. she said... symbicort could help you breathe better, starting within 5 minutes. symbicort doesn't replace a rescue inhaler for sudden symptoms. symbicort helps provide significant improvement of your lung function. symbicort is for copd, including chronic bronchitis and emphysema. it should not be taken more than twice a day. symbicort contains formoterol. medicines like formoterol increase the risk of death from asthma problems. symbicort may increase your risk of lung infections, osteoporosis, and some eye problems. you should tell your doctor if you have a heart condition or high blood pressure before taking it. symbicort could mean a day with better breathing. watch out, piggies! (children giggle) symbicort. breathe better starting within 5 minutes.

go ahead, embrace those beautiful moments. flonase changes everything. >> pelley: in the age of tweet, hatefulness has no bounds. words that people would never say are so much easier to send. a cast called "just not sports" noticed that female sportscasters are enduring harassment, so it asked a group of men to read some of these tweets to female sportswriters. the men you see did not write them, but they read them to demonstrate the power of the words. >> all right. you ready to get some mean tweets? >> i'm ready. >> you sound like a nagging wife on tv. >> not even married yet.

beat you to death with their hockey stick like the whore you are. >> hopefully the skank julie dicaro is bill cosby's next victim. >> sarah spain is a self-important know-it-all [bleeped] okay. >> i hope your dog gets hit by a car you [bleeped] >> why bring up your own rape in a story? is it your way of firing back at critics who said you can't get any? >> i hope your boyfriend beats you. >> pelley: one of the women you saw there, espn.com's sarah spain and dana jacobson of cbs sports network were on our digital channel does, cbsn, with josh elliot. >> >> reporter: i wonder, what did you hear, especially from your male colleagues yesterday? >> i have to say, it is interesting, guys often say, this made me think of my daughter, this made me think of my sisters.

how about just thinking that everybody is a human being, male or female, and thinking about the mom that made you. would you say those words to your mom? some of the male colleagues i was talking to, i've gotten comments like that, two of them. over the span of five years being on twitter, i can't imagine getting those daily, and i think it's again a broader thing of can we be a little bit nicer to people. if you wouldn't say it to my face, why is that okay to say it on twitter? >> reporter: what do you say now, what do you say today to an aspiring young woman who wants to be you? >> well, i actually have a young girl who just graduated and wants to get into the field, and over the course of the last couple months, she's job hunting and kind of paying close attention to my career as we become friends, she sort of sadly lost her goal and she said, i don't think i can do it anymore. i don't think i'm the kind of person that can deal with that stuff. i say eventually you get to the point where you are confident in your own abilities. you are validated in your own

your peer, your viewers and people who are positive, and it makes it easier to look at those comments and say, you're wrong, i do belong here, i am great at my job and i'm in the wasting my time believing any of the things you're saying to me. >> pelley: such an important issue for the age. you can see george bush's -- josh's full interview at cbsnews.com. that's the cbs evening news for tonight. for all of us at cbs news all around the world, good night. captioning sponsored by cbs captioned by
