2:46 am
and no cord. you know what i mean? i'm not getting tangled up in the cord, having to pull it with me and stuff. >> how does the power feel? >> good. real good. >> the other thing it does is it's an edger. >> it's smooth. it gives you a lot more of a guide. that's dang good. i want one! [ laughs ] >> now, one of the things that really makes the worx gt 2.0 special is how adjustable it is. >> no matter how tall or short you are, no matter how low or high the angle you need, the worx gt 2.0 is a comfortable fit for the task at hand. >> so it's easy for anyone to anywhere in their yard. >> i've had people tell me that there's no way that a battery-powered trimmer can do as good as a gas one. and i tell them to go out there and try it, and once they do, they usually come back a believer. >> i mean, the strength was so much that i went, "wow!" >> it's a beast. >> it just blew me away. >> you feel the torque, you can hear the torque. >> you can feel like, "all right. this thing's gonna go to town." >> yeah, the worx 2.0 is 100% tool. it's well-made. it's lightweight. and it's got plenty of power. >> if your yard has spots that are too small, too challenging,
2:47 am
full-size mower... >> you can use your worx gt 2.0 as a lightweight, maneuverable mini-mower. >> that's right. no ordinary trimmer has anything like it. just snap the edger wheels into the mowing position and lock the head in place. >> how about that? they support the trimmer and reduce fatigue. now it's easy for anyone to mow small, tricky areas without any lifting. >> and the wheels ensure that you'll never scalp or gouge your grass again. >> you get a consistent, level, three-inch cut, which is the healthiest height for your grass. >> mm-hmm. with the worx gt 2.0, it always looks great. >> now you can take the wheel off, snap it right back here, and you can almost use it as if it were a mower. it's really nice to get to those hard-to-reach places. >> i don't really know any other tool that has that wheel mode like that for a trimmer. for going under stuff, especially like a deck and things like that, you could lay it down even more and just slide in and out there. >> right underneath there. >> and with this, there's no effort whatsoever. >> the wheel holds all the weight. >> your arms aren't tired by holding it up. >> i can do it with one hand.
2:48 am
>> the thing we all hate about ordinary trimmers is when you have to wind new line onto the spool. what a mess. >> oh, and if you do it wrong, it hangs up the machine. >> yeah. that's what's so great about the worx gt 2.0. the spools are perfectly pre-wound. >> so you just pop one in, get right back to work. >> plus, worx provides the spools free of charge. whenever you need more, just call the number right on the tool. >> announcer: ordinary line is round and dull and can fray the edges of your grass as it trims. but the worx gt 2.0 uses a revolutionary, newbl line for a sharper, better-looking cut. >> people who own the worx gt 2.0 love the fact that the lithium battery holds its charge for months. >> so it always starts up in an instant at full power. >> that's right. when you're ready, it's ready. >> the worx gt 2.0 comes standard with its most powerful battery yet -- the next-generation lithium battery with almost twice the capacity. >> which means you get more power and more run-time than ever. >> announcer: and we're going to prove it. we challenged a leading
2:49 am
against the worx gt 2.0 to see who had more available battery capacity on a single charge. both machines have 20 volts, but only the worx gt 2.0 has the new high-capacity battery. its higher amp-hour rating is like having an extra-large fuel tank. so when the competitor ran out, the worx gt 2.0 could keep cutting. >> on one charge with the gt 2.0, i can get the front yard, i can get the backyard, i can do all the edging. >> yeah, i can do the fences, i can edge underneath these steps, all around all this stuff. >> i can get the whole yard done on one charge. >> it's surprising how much power is packed into this little battery, but it's strong and it goes through weeds, brush. >> really big weeds in the backyard that were thick. >> talking about the big boys. >> the bushes. [ chuckles ] >> it sliced them right off. >> it'll whip right through them. >> this guy -- you can get it out in your front yard and take it out into the weeds. >> amazingly, it cut brush that was pretty tall like a regular, gas-powered. >> you know, the worx 2.0 is a tool all day long. it's a very rugged, rugged tool. >> the worx gt 2.0 runs
2:50 am
>> and gets better results than other cordless trimmers. >> you've probably used every inconvenient, exhausting, expensive method to get the beautiful, well-manicured yard you want. >> we sure have. >> you've paid your dues. isn't it time you did it the easy way? >> now you can with the most versatile and best-built cordless trimmer ever made -- the worx gt 2.0. >> announcer: coming up, we'll show you the difference between and okay-looking edge and the perfect edge you can get using the worx gt 2.0. you could expect to we over $200 for both a quality grass trimmer and an edger. but you won't pay anywhere near that for the worx gt 2.0. this amazing machine is yours for just three easy payments of only $33.33. you get twice the functionality for about half the cost. but hang on. now you also get twice the run-time. we're including a second lithium battery with every order absolutely free. that's a $79.99 value. and if you call within the next 10 minutes, you'll not only get
2:51 am
you'll also get pre-wound spools of our revolutionary cutting line for life. all you pay is the shipping. so don't wait. pick up the phone and call now. we guarantee you'll love your worx gt 2.0, or we'll refund your money, no questions asked. call now. >> you know, with ordinary trimmers, it seems like it takes more work getting ready to do the job than to do the job itself. >> like buying gasoline, mixing in the oil, pulling the cord over and over, not to mention the occasional trip to the repair shop. >> extension cords. seems like they're always getting tangled or getting hung up on the bushes or accidentally getting unplugged. >> and then, when you finally do get trimming, the line breaks, runs out, or tangles. all that bumping and winding just to get more line is a real waste of time. >> we think you deserve better. >> and that's what you get with the worx gt 2.0. it starts at the touch of a button... [ motor whirs, shuts off ] ...goes everywhere you want to go, and keeps going until you're done with the job. and when you need more line, you just pull the trigger... [ motor whirs ] ...and the line automatically
2:52 am
>> so there's nothing to slow you down. with the battery-powered worx gt 2.0, you get a perfectly groomed yard in minutes. >> announcer: our worx crew went out on a saturday morning and asked homeowners to put down their electric and gas tools and give the worx gt 2.0 a try. >> you want to try it? are you up to giving it a try? >> sure. why not? >> good deal. >> oh, it's very lightweight. very nice. >> yeah, the weight is great. the balance is really good. >> it's a little heavier than my fishing pole. >> yeah, that works really nice. >> yeah. >> seemed like it had a lot of power. >> oh, it's plenty of power. this probably has that much or more than my weed eater that i >> the other thing it does is it's an edger. >> that's really nice. >> that's pretty cool. i like that. >> the wheels kind of -- it guides you. >> straight and clean. it's pretty easy, actually. >> neat tool you guys got here. >> it's quicker and easier. i mean, it's just grab it and go. >> i could probably get my wife to trim if i had this one. [ chuckles ] >> i think it's really versatile and really practical. >> oh, that works great. i love it. i'll have to buy one of these for myself. >> pretty nice. can i keep it? [ chuckles ] >> all beautifully landscaped
2:53 am
makes the lawn look perfectly manicured. >> have you ever tried edging with a gas trimmer? they're not designed for it, so you have to do that awkward sideways walk to control the cut, the debris flies back at your legs, and in the end, all you have is a raggedy edge, a ruined pair of pants, and a sore back. >> that's true. but with the worx gt 2.0, you don't have to buy a second machine for edging. all you have to do is flip up the cutting head, and you have this comfortable, walk-behind edger in just seconds. >> with the worx gt 2.0, the trimmings go out away from you and the whee crisp, clean edge every time. >> you know, they really thought of everything when they designed this worx gt 2.0. i mean, look at this -- it's a retractable flower guard. it keeps the trim line a safe distance away from the plants that you don't want to trim. no more accidents. >> as far as edging goes, the worx gt 2.0 is really nice. it has this wheel, and it just follows along and makes a crisp, clean cut. >> and that allows me to get a nice, smooth cut along the edge of the yard. >> other weedwackers that i've
2:54 am
they don't have these little wheels on it, so you're all over the place, and you don't get a clean line. >> for edging, pull that out, flip it over, and you're ready to rock 'n' roll. >> in a matter of seconds. >> the wheel supports it, doesn't hurt my back at all. works great. >> it cuts a nice, clean, sharp edge. very perfect. >> it just shows the difference between a well-manicured job and an amateur job. and this really puts a professional touch to it. >> of course, our favorite thing about the worx gt 2.0, and the really big news, is its advanced lithium battery. it's a rechargeable bay has almost twice the energy capacity for more power and more run-time than any previous model. >> not to mention other trimmers on the market. >> so you can cover larger areas in the same amount of time, cut through thicker, taller grass, and still operate at full power to the end of the charge. >> and it holds that charge for months, so you can let it sit over the winter and be ready to go the next spring with the touch of a button. >> now, with the new battery technology, i'm not tied to a cord.
2:55 am

today trump talked about the health of the economy, and here's major garrett. >> my economic plan rejects the cynicism that says our labor force will keep declining, that our jobs will keep leaving, and that our economy can never grow as it did once before. >> reporter: donald trump today called for more than $4 trillion in across-the-board tax cuts, an increase in defense spending, and a massive expansion of domestic energy production. >> over the next ten years our economic team estimates that under our plan the economy will average 3.5% growth and create a total of 25 million new jobs. >> reporter: economic growth has hovered between 1.6% and 2.6% since the great recession ended in 2009.

3:07 am
>> right. scott, coming into this, hillary clinton still has the electoral college lead. but i think it's going to come down ultimately to these four states. we start with florida, where the race has tightened. if donald trump can put that in his column, then we go to ohio, where we've also seen polling suggesting that race is tightening. he gets ohio, he goes on to north carolina. now, he's been trailing there, but that voted republican last time, so he's got hope. but then he would still need to win one more big, democratic-leaning state like pennsylvania. if he gets that, he'd go over the top. tough, but what we see from today's polling is that he does have the momentum. >> insight from anthony salvanto. thanks, anthony. the "cbs overnight news" will be

now, in another important story tonight one marine recruit is dead, another injured, amid allegations of brutal hazing during basic training. both men were muslims. and now more than a dozen marines could face punishment. here's david martin. >> start crawling. >> reporter: training at the parris island boot camp is supposed to be tough. but a marine corps investigation found that earlier this year a drill sergeant assaulted a recruit, who then jumped to his death. the sergeant slapped raheel siddiqui, a 20-year-old pakistani american recruit who claimed he had a sore throat. after being slapped siddiqui vaulted the railing of a
3:11 am
om barracks. marines called it suicide, but attorney shiraz khan says the family believes their son was hounded to his death because of his religion. >> all the evidence that have been provided so far indicate that his religion may have had a major role in this. >> reporter: the investigation found siddiqui should already have been declared unfit for training because of an earlier suicide threat. and the drill sergeant who slapped siddiqui should already have been suspended from his duties because of allegations he had ed that recruit testified the drill sergeant had accused him of being a terrorist, demanding to know what he had to do with 9/11. two drill sergeants ordered the recruit into an industrial-strength clothes dryer. they closed the door and ran the dryer for about 30 seconds. when the recruit refused to admit he was a terrorist, they
3:12 am
the investigation recommended the drill sergeants be brought up on criminal charges and found clear evidence of dereliction of duty by the officers in charge. some commanders have already been fired. and scott, a total of 20 marines face possible disciplinary action. >> david martin with the story for us tonight. david, thank you. two new york city police officers were attacked today by a man with a meat cleaver. it happened at the start of the evening rush hour this evening in midtown manhattan. one officer was cut, the other grazed. police shot the suspect. he's in the hospital. today the family of sandra bland reached a $1.9 million settlement in a wrongful death lawsuit. it was in july of last year that bland died in a texas jail cell after a minor traffic violation. omar villafranca is at the waller county jail. >> reporter: it started like a routine traffic stop when a texas state trooper pulled over sandra bland for failing to signal a lane change in july of last year.
3:13 am
>> reporter: but it quickly escalated. >> and then you -- >> i will light you up! get out! >> wow. >> reporter: 28-year-old bland was later taken to the waller county jail. and three days later she was found hanging in her jail cell. >> no justice! >> no peace! >> reporter: activists questioned her death and why she was even arrested. no one was charged in bland's death. but trooper brian encinia was fired for violating department procedures, which require officers to be courteous and patient. an autopsy found that bland had hanged herself with a trash bag in her jail cell, raising questions about how inmates are monitored. a year later bland's mother, geneva reed-veal, welcomes the settlement. >> sandy's death meant something. and literally, across the country she is known now. so she's got a legacy. >> reporter: in addition to the ayout to the bland family, waller county agreed to change procedures at the jail, including improved electronic
3:14 am
cells, a nurse or emergency medical technician must be on duty during all shifts, and pledging to seek state help to improve jail functions. any legislation passed will be named in honor of bland. >> these are things that needed to be in place prior to her death, but for now i think that it's important that no other family has to go through this type of pain. >> reporter: the attorney for waller county says the deal has not been finalized. scott, he also released a statement saying they vigorously deny any fault or wrongdoing. >> omar villafranca. omar, thank you. in syria tonight the cease-fire is holding by and large, but desperately needed aid has still not arrived in aleppo, once syria's largest city. elizabeth palmer is there. >> reporter: oh, yeah. youseff ibrahim is showing me around what was his neighborhood. six weeks ago syrian soldiers and russian bombers in a ferocious battle took it back
3:15 am
and this is what's left. in the background as we spoke, the sounds of war. youseff, i just heard a big boom there. what was that? "oh, it's coming from over there," he told me. but isn't there supposed to be a cease-fire? "yes, it's those gunmen from al-nusra, one of the islamist militias," he said. "last night the shelling was nonstop." but with nowhere to go youseff and his family have moved back in. and they're now hoping like hundreds of thousands of others for united nations aid. but it remains so far stalled in turkey. until under a u.s.-russian proposal all armed groups and the syrian army have withdrawn from the castello road, the main highway into northern aleppo, and the russian military has secured it. i'm standing on a section of the
3:16 am
under the terms of the proposal, syrian soldiers like the ones at the checkpoint behind me would be pulled out and the u.n. trucks would be not only guaranteed safe passage but also no one would be able to stop them until they reached their destination. but a blame game has stalled the whole process. the russians point the finger at u.s.-backed rebel groups, who they say haven't pulled back. meanwhile, an exhausted and battered population has no option t to ward off any attempt by the assad government to channel more aid into the areas it controls, the u.n. has made it clear that the trucks will be sealed and only u.n. officials, scott, will decide who gets the contents. >> liz palmer inside syria tonight. liz, thank you. coming up, a woman calls 911 as her abductor sleeps.

a woman's desperate cao 911 in ashland, ohio helped police capture a possible serial killer. anna werner has more on this. >> what's the problem? >> i've been abducted. >> reporter: the 18-minute-long 911 call came from a kidnapped woman held for three days, whispering to a dispatcher. >> is there any way you can get out of the building? >> i don't know without waking him, and i'm scared. >> reporter: she called 911 from the bedroom where her abductor slept, in this abandoned house

her, it was -- and to these other women, he's a monster. >> reporter: well, it may take weeks for one of those bodies to be identified because it was badly decomposed. scott, shawn grate will be in court for his arraignment tomorrow. >> anna werner, thank you very much. up next, an update on that smartphone recall. our bacteria family's been on this cushion for generations. alright kiddos! everybody off the backpack, we made it to the ottoman. i like to watch them clean, finally there's a disinfectant mist designed for sofas, mattresses and more. introducing new lysol max cover. its innovative cap has a 2x wider spray that kills 99.9% of bacteria. max cover is another great way to lysol that. hi! welcome to the katy kat collection. my new mascara katy kat eye it's the all-day 360 cat eye ten times volume, darkness and no smudging katy kat eye and

3:31 am
>> starting now you will treat me and all other marines with the highest respect. >> reporter: every class of marine recruits gets a speech like this from their drill instructor. >> physical or verbal abuse by any marine or recruit will not be tolerated! >> reporter: according to marine corps investigators, raheel siddiqui, a 20-year-old pakistani american, committed suicide last march by throwing himself down a stairwell after being slapped by a drill sergeant. assault was likely the impetus for siddiqui's jumping from the building. it also found clear indicators that siddiqui should have been disqualified from training because he had threatened to commit suicide five days earlier. >> the family does not believe that their son, a patriotic young man, an intelligent young man, would take his own life. to them it makes no sense. >> reporter: family attorney shiraz khan says there isn't
3:32 am
>> when there's clear findings of hazing, maltreatment, and abuse, how they can still say this was a suicide. >> reporter: the same drill sergeant who allegedly assaulted siddiqui was already under investigation for an earlier incident in which he allegedly ordered another muslim recruit into an industrial clothes dryer. the recruit told investigators two drill sergeants accused him of being a terrorist and demanded to know if he was part of 9/11. when the recruit denied he was working for a terrorist organization, the drill sergeants closed the dryer and ran it for about 30 seconds. they repeated hat at least two more times, burning the recruit on his neck and shoulders. the recruit testified he could smell alcohol on the drill sergeants' breath. >> my intuition said that something was wrong. >> reporter: congresswoman debbie dingell has been looking into the circumstances surrounding private siddiqui's death. she visited parris island last weekend. >> i know this young muslim from my district should be with us today.
3:33 am
military. but there's a line. you've crossed it when you are putting someone in a clothes dryer. >> reporter: the investigation found multiple derelictions of duty by officers and sergeants in charge of training recruits at parris island. 20 marines have been singled out for possible disciplinary action including criminal charges. at least seven children have been hospitalized and hundreds more could be in danger of a serious bacterial infection linked to a california dental john blackstone has the story from anaheim. >> reporter: doctors are closely monitoring 3-year-old jibran and treating him with i.v. antibiotics after they operated to remove an abscess caused by a suspected dangerous bacterial infection. family members say they're lucky his teacher noticed his face was swollen. >> all just from going to the dentist. >> yes. thinking everything's going to go by well, you know, you're going to go in and come out. but it didn't happen like that. now he has an infection.

taken him to the children's dental group in anaheim in may for a common procedure called a popotomy, also known as a baby root canal. health officials say he's one of more than half a dozen children who had the procedure at the same clinic, then developed symptoms of a serious and potentially life-threatening infection. >> it's very resistant to treatment. it needs to be taken care of quickly. >> reporter: dr. eric le public health officer with the orange county health care agency investigating the clinic. >> i have not seen these types of cases in the ten years that i've been here. once we were notified we jumped on it very quickly and notified the cdc. >> reporter: the clinic has agreed to stop performing the procedure for now. >> we are doing everything, whether it's sterilization or anything else that relates to taking care of the patients, we are on it. >> reporter: because the bacteria can progress slowly, health officials say they're contacting 500 children who had

most people know that chimpanzees and humans are close cousins sharing more than 98% of the same dna. but humans have another primate cousin just as close. they're called bonobos and they couldn't be more different than chimps. bonobos live in female-dominated groups and they're endangered. found only in the democratic anderson cooper paid a visit to central africa to get their story for "60 minutes." ? >> reporter: the world's only sanctuary for bonobos sits on the outskirts of congo's capital, kinshasa.
3:41 am
bonobo paradise. for those endangered apes, it's exactly what it is. ? this refuge was created by conservationist claudine andre. she's belgian-born but has lived in congo most of her life. if you ask her why she cares so much about bonobos, she'll tell you just look into their eyes. >> the way they look in your eyes, deeply, it's just like they look in your soul. >> in your soul. >> yeah. >> and it's rare that most primates don't maintain eye contact like that. >> yeah. because don't try to do this >> right. it's a threatening gesture if you do it with a gorilla. but bonobos look right at you. >> oh, yeah. >> reporter: bonobos may have a brain that's a third of the size of ours, but they're remarkably intelligent. those high-pitched screeches are a sophisticated form of communication, and their gestures are unmistakable. like chimpanzees bonobos use
3:42 am
problem solving. >> she have a baby. so she cannot go deeply. >> so she's breaking the stick actually. >> yeah. she showed the stick, it's too short. >> okay. so she got a longer stick. that's amazing. so she's using the stick to see how deep the water is. >> yeah. >> reporter: bonobos are unique among great apes because they're not dominated by males. and according to brian hare, a duke university evolutionary th at lola, it's the females who run the show. >> here if you try to be an alpha male you will be, as the congolese say, corrected by the females. >> not just by one female but by sort of an alliance of females. >> that's right. bonobos really violate a rule of nature, which is normally if you're bigger you're going to be dominant. but here females are actually smaller but they're still not dominated by males because they work together.
3:43 am
to kill each other. the same can't be said of chimpanzees or of humans for that matter. >> bonobos on the other hand, they don't really have that darker side. so that's how they can help us, is how could it be that a species that has a brain a third of the size of ours can do something that with all our technological prowess we can't accomplish, which is to not kill each other. >> reporter: the answer might be found in bonobos' favorite pastime. these apes have more sex more often, in more ways than any other primate on the planet. their sexual contact is so frequent brian hare refers to it as the bonobo handshake. >> it's not that they want to procreate and have a kid. it's not even that they found each other attractive. it's just -- >> no. it's a negotiation. >> reporter: and it's hardly surprising that many of these negotiations take place over food. chimpanzees will fight each other over food. >> that's right. >> bonobos won't necessarily
3:44 am
ha basically chimpanzees get primed for competition, testosterone increases. bonobos, they get stressed out. and if they feel like they're not going to be able to share they get really anxious and that drives them to want to be reassured and they then happen to have a bonobo handshake to feel better. >> males will do that with females, males will do it with males, females with females. doesn't matter. even the ages. >> any combination. any age. >> reporter: it's an irony that this peace-loving primate is being hunted to extinction. though it's illegal to kill or capture bonobos in congo, that hasn't slowed their rapid decline. forest animals are sold in bustling bush meat markets for food. the largest in congo's capital kinshasa, you can buy monkeys, porcupines, even alligators, dead or alive. bonobos aren't openly sold here anymore. but you can still buy them in many parts of congo. their orphan babies often endup in the only place that can care
3:45 am
