this is the "cbs overnight news." >> welcome to the overnight news. i'm michelle miller. the united nations security council held an emergency session after reports that north korea tested another nuclear device. the north claimed this one was a hydrogen bomb which is much more powerful than atomic bomb. but washington and others do not believe it. north korea gave no hint it was planning a nuclear test which first appeared as an earthquake. seth doane has the very latest from beijing. >> that test really took north

region by surprise. the initial reports of an earthquake turns out it was seismic activity, but it was man made. on state tv north korea claimed its first ever test of a miniaturized hydrogen bomb was a perfect success. north korea took aim at the u.s. and said the test was a self defense measure. the explosion which registered as a magnitude 5.1 quake took place near punggye ri where tests were carried out in multiple years. photos showed north koreans cheers the news while in south korea citizens watched nervously. in media reports, south korea's military cast doubt on whether the explosion was big enough to be a hydrogen bomb. north korea is infamous for saber rattling.

advance in technology. it's more powerful and difficult to make than an atomic bomb. north korean tv showed what was believed a personal note from kim jung-un signing off on the test back on december 15th. when we were in north korea in october, it appeared relations with china, its biggest ally, were warming. china said the top government official to the military parade we attended. but today, china joined neighbors in the region and strongly condemned the nuclear test. can we expect to see anything other than words? will there be some action on china's part? >> china has been making active efforts towards the goal of peninsula denuclearization in words and actions. the foreign affairs spokeswoman said it requires effort from all parties. the u.s. government says it is

he was born in canada. the problem is if the democrats bring a lawsuit, the lawsuit could take years to resolve how do you have a candidate when there is something over the head of the party and that individual. >> reporter: trump pretended he wasn't trying to take cruz down a peg in iowa where the two are locked in a battle for first. >> i hope this would not be a reason for disqualification. >> reporter: before appearing with cruz at a rally on the capitol steps in september, trump said cruz's canadian birth was a nonissue. cruz was born in canada to an american mother making him an american citizen. his family moved to the u.s. when cruz was 4. cruz's response, a twitter link to a cultural milestone. fonzie jumping a shark on the tv show "happy days" recognized as the symbol of an entertainment craze gone hopelessly stale. >> stick with fonzie jumping the shark and let you battle it out. >> reporter: on the battlefront, of tv ads, cruz tried to tap the same vein of immigration frustration trump inspired. >> say the politics would be very, very different if a bunch of lawyers or bankers were crossing the rio grande. >> chris christie's super pac, scrambling to close the gap with donald trump in new hampshire, produced this ad. >> keep every rotten, dangerous

when it comes to knock-offs of italian classics you probably think of fake gucci or prada. in italy the mafia has a foothold in the fine food business making and selling bad copies of expensive wine, cheese, and olive oil.

>> reporter: leave it to the italians to fight the mafia with good taste. this panel certifies the authenticity of extra virgin olive oil. a favorite target of the agro mafia. they can tell at first sip whether extra virgin has been diluted with cheap sunflower oil or canola. sergio, why do they make that sound? like sucking in air? >> they need it to mist it on >> reporter: suck it into the back of the throat. >> they have to suck it in. >> reporter: the major is considered one of the top investigators of food fraud in europe. think elliott ness in a uniform designed by armani. >> most have been discovered with expertise. >> reporter: their skills are so respected, courts will accept taste results as evidence. tiro has the 60 cops trained to

and 1,100 more conducting inspections and fraud investigations. on the day we visited headquarters, officers were monitoring wiretaps and live video from hidden cameras placed in suspected warehouses around italy. this looks like the fbi. >> yes, we can call our self the fbi of food. >> reporter: in the last two years, they have seized 59,000 tons of food. the agro mafia's ingredients are poor quality and sometimes contaminated with solvents or pesticides. >> when i tell somebody that i am coming to italy to do a piece about food fraud it almost seems unbelievable. >> it is a serious problem because the it is not only a commercial threat. if you adulterate extra virgin olive oil with seed oil and

to seed oil you are sending them bombs. >> reporter: bombs. on your kitchen shelf? >> yes. >> reporter: the agro mafia has tried to rip off italian shoppers with mozarella whitened with detergent and rotten seafood deodorized with citric acid. my favorite. italian wines. how are they adulterated? >> they make poor quality wine >> reporter: take a cheap table wine and just put a famous stamp on it. >> yes. >> reporter: and sell it? >> yes. >> reporter: in tuscany, cops found 42,000 gallons of run of

as topnotch. the score could have been $5 so everything, olive oil, tomatoes, milk. butter, bread, a wide range of different foods. >> reporter: journalist tom muller lived in italy for 20 years. and speaks routinely with investigators and food producers. food chain does the mafia get >> from harvesting, they impose it on workers, they impose there is mafia involvement in supermarkets as well. so certain areas they have infiltrated the food chain from the farm to the fork. >> reporter: muller wrote about olive oil fraud in 2007 for "the new yorker" magazine. >> you are getting lower grade olive oil blended with extra virgin oil, deodorized oil, blend it with oil to give it color and flavor. sell it as extra virgin olive oil. >> reporter: extra virgin must come from the first press and free of additives, fruity,

the best can sell for $50 a gallon. but a fake costs $7 to make. the profit margin can be three times better than cocaine. >> i would like to show you how easy it is to make a genuine fake extra virgin olive oil. >> genuine fake? >> genuine fake extra virgin olive oil. you just need some seed oil. >> what kind of seed oil? >> it is sunflower oil. no smell at all. >> reporter: none. >> then we just have to add few drops of chlorophyll. >> reporter: for color? >> for color. >> reporter: it becomes the color of olive oil. >> it becomes the color of olive oil. >> reporter: 80% of italy's extra virgin comes from the southern part of country. so we went to sicily where the mafia is part of daily life in the streets and in the fields.

drive south of palermo. we went to see him because he is leading a farmer revolt against mafia control. his olives are hand combed from the trees on to nets below. and immediately sent to be pressed. what role does the mafia play in olive oil production here? he told us the agro mafia dilutes the oil and controls prices. he has defied the mob by organizing 200 farmers to skip the mafia middle men and sell their oil directly to distributors. when you organized the farmers the mafia retaliated against you? >> on the day i started the consortium, they burned my car, they burned down part of my home, and i was inside with my wife and my daughter. >> reporter: they tried to kill

>> no, he said, it was a message to stay quiet. this is a police image of the man he believes ordered the attack. he is mateo mecino the boss of bosses. many believe he is hiding out in the town not far from the fields. he built a 41 million dollar olive oil empire. >> it is very difficult to say in any case with olive oil, how many drops in a given bottle actually have mafia blood on them. to sound dramatic. it is fairly straight forward to say however, just how much fraudulent oil is in circulation. >> reporter: how much? >> easily half of the bottles that are sold as extra virgin in supermarkets in italy do not meet legal grades for extra virgin olive oil. >> reporter: half in italy. what would it be in the u.s.? >> 75% to 80% easily. >> reporter: yes, you heard right. he said up to 80%. food imported into the united states is inspected by customs and border protection.

that they have detected phony oil imported from italy improperly labeled as extra virgin. we were curious about what we would find in a u.s. supermarket. so we shipped three brands of italian extra virgin we purchased in new york back to the mother country. >> reporter: all three extra virgin. they were in clued in a blind taste test by the experts in rome. the process is as tightly orchestrated as a verde opera. blue glass hides the color. separate cubicles prevent cheating. the panel would not say they were adulterated, but agreed two brands we purchased did not come within a sniff of extra virgin. described one as the lowest quality of olive oil.

selling in america. >> it is not that bad. >> reporter: not that bad. >> not that bad. but maybe for. >> reporter: not that the good. >> not for my salads. i would never put this on my salads. >> you can see that full report on italy's agro mafia on our website cbsnews.com.

different kind of gambling. >> welcome to vegas pinball. >> reporter: a casino looks like an arcade and nightclub filled with games that require skill not just games of chance. >> this was much more like video game than gambling to me. >> yes, it does, doesn't it? i am fighting for my life over here right now. i want to turn the casino into where you have a fighting chance to win some money. use your skill. race a car. shoot a target. >> reporter: i can't imagine in that is your sales pitch to the casinos they don't want to give people a fighting chance to win money. >> they will change as your base gets older and evolves, you have to be prepared for the next generation coming in. >> reporter: the generation, the millenials, those born after 1980, they head to vegas in droves but walk right by the casino and into the nightclub. just 63% of millenials gambled, compared to 78% of their parents' generation and 87% of their grandparents'.

for night life, clubs, party, dancing, all the great things vegas is known for but no longer for gambling. >> reporter: chief marketing officer for gambling. >> you won $3.20. their idea is to take the games people play on their smart phones and add gambling and compete not against a dealer but against your friends. >> as opposed to the focus did i win or lose money. start playing. vested in did i beat the boss? am i getting to the next level? how am i doing at the game play as opposed to the money part of it. >> the flip side is they're not realizing how much money they're losing? >> right. absolutely possible. >> reporter: a change in nevada gaming regulations last month now allows for skilled players to potentially win more money by advancing further into the game. but the downside is if you aren't good at the game, you could lose even more often than you would at a game of chance. these new skill-based games are expected to hit casino floors

man and young grandson were pulled from their hummer after getting swept up in floodwaters. samantha young is the child's relieved mother. >> unbelievably thankful. thank god a thousand times. it wouldn't be enough. >> record amounts of rain have fallen and the national weather service says a gust-nado damaged eight buildings downtown ripping off part of the roof and blowing out windows. but the region is also getting something it desperately needs. water. some of the billions of gallons of storm walter inundating rivers in los angeles are being diverted into recharge basins where they replenish groundwater, gary hilldebrand is director of the public works department. capturing? >> in the storms yesterday for example we are able to capture 1.6 gallons of water, which is enough water for 40,000 people.

hill sides like this one that burned in a wildfire. the mud is streaming off the hillside and at the base of it you have a bunch of homes and bunch of worried homeowners. scott, if there is any good news tonight it is the rain that is forecast for tomorrow is expected to be much lighter. >> ben tracy reporting. thanks. also in california today, a state of emergency was declared over a massive natural gas leak near los angeles. thousands were evacuated from l.a.'s porter ranch neighborhood after people there complained of nausea and headaches. the methane has been blasting october. and today, in michigan, an emergency was declared in flint. where the drinking water is contaminated with lead. last october, children were found to have elevated levels of lead in their blood. after the city started using water from the flint river to save money.

north korea's claim that it tested a hydrogen bomb which would be far more powerful than the three atomic bombs it tested before. data from seismographs indicated a blast last night equal to around 7,000 tons of tnt. that's not large by atomic bomb standards. seth doane begins our coverage. >> a perfect success how state media put it. defending its nuclear arsenal as a powerful deter ept against the u.s. which it called the "chieftain of aggression." the underground test registered as a 5.1 magnitude quake. it was close to the site of three previous nuclear tests. the news sparked cheers in north korea and rattled nerves in south korea which questioned whether the explosion was big

north korea is known for its saber rattling, but possessing a hydrogen bomb would be a major and surprising step forward. when we were in north korea last october, it appeared relations with china, its biggest ally, were warming. china had sent a top official to the ceremony, but there was no hint of that today. china's foreign ministry condemned the test. will there be some action on china's part? >> china has been using words and actions the spokeswoman said, but denuclearization requires efforts from all parties. ultimately north korea wants to create a nuclear weapon capable of reaching the mainland united states. and regardless of what exactly was tested this likely provide more research and another step towards that goal. >> seth doane reporting from beijing tonight.

>> north korea also claimed that its hydrogen bomb was miniaturized to fit on a missile which would be a huge engineering achievement also unlikely. david martin is at the pentagon. >> u.s. aircraft flying out of japan will collect air samples off north korea to determine what kind of nuclear device went off. but based on analysis of the seismic wave the blast triggered, u.s. intelligence is skeptical of a north korean claim it successfully test aid hydrogen bomb. last night's explosion issest mated less than 10 kilotons. about half the power of the weapon which destroyed hiroshima at end of world war ii. a hydrogen bomb which has never been used in war but tested in the pacific in the 1950s would be 50 to 100 times more powerful. whatever kind of device was definited. the greatest mystery about north korean nuclear weapons is

launch one against the united states. north korea has a missile capable of reaching that far, but it has never been tested. to be on the safe side, the u.s. keeps its missile defense system which officials say is capable of shooting down a small number of north korean missiles on constant alert. north korea seems to specialize in nasty surprises. u.s. intelligence expected another test sooner or later, but had no warning it would happen last night. scott. >> david martin reporting tonight. david, thank you. >> well, worries about china's slowing economy shook up financial markets again today. the dow closed off 252 points. oil finished below $35 a barrel for the first time in nearly 12 years. and we note that chipotle lost $22 a share today. down nearly 38% since an e.coli outbreak at restaurants in the fall.
