this is the "cbs evening news" with scott pelley. >> pelley: today president obama shared a piece of advice that he gave the president-elect: campaigning is different from governing. and mr. obama added, "i think he recognizes that." that was apparent in mr. trump's first post-election interview with lesley stahl for "60 minutes" as he began to roll back some of the promises that got him elected. >> she is as crooked as they come. >> reporter: on the strumpf, candidate trump was crystal clear. >> if i win, i am going to instruct my attorney general to get a special prosecutor to look into your situation. >> reporter: but on "60 minutes," president-elect trump backed off his threat when lesley stahl asked about a special prosecutor. >> she did some bad things. i mean, she did some bad things. >> but a special prosecutor?

they're good people. real change begins with immediately repealing and replacing obamacare. it's a disaster. >> reporter: his stance on obamacare also seemed to soften. >> are you going to make sure that people with preconditions are still covered? >> yes, because it happens to be one of the strongest assets. > you're going the keep that? >> also the children living with their parents for an period, very much try to keep that. when mexico sends its people, they're not sending their best. >> reporter: the trump on the trail also sounded different on immigration, promising to deport up to 12 million undocumented immigrants. >> they're bringing drugs. they're bringing crime. they're rapists, and some, i assume, are good people. >> reporter: the president-elect is now promising to deport two to three million who are criminals. and then? >> after the borders are secured

a determination on the people you're talking about, who are terrific people. >> reporter: during the campaign, candidate trump was clear on muslim immigration. >> donald j. trump is calling for a total and complete shutdown of muslims entering the united states. >> reporter: but when lesley stahl raised the idea his position led to muslims and latinos being harassed, president-elect surprised. >> s they're harassing muslims d latinos. >> i am so saddened to hear that, andly say this right to the camera, stop it. >> reporter: mr. trump also said on "60 minutes," if the supreme court ore turned the roe v. wade ruling, the legality of abortion would be a question for the states. but on same-sex marriage, he said since the supreme court had already ruled, the issue in his mind, scott, was closed.

tonight. jim, thank you. on president-elect trump's election, president obama said today the people have spoken. well, it turns out some of them are still speaking. high school students walked out of class today in a number of cities to protest. in silver spring, maryland, some chanted, "not my president." in los angeles, signs read "deport trump" and voices shouted, "say it loud, say it clear, immigration welcome here." and students walked out of the protesting racism, sexism, homophobia, islamophobia and xenophobia. trump sent mixed signals with his two top white house appointments today. his chief of staff will be former republican party chairman reince priebus, who is a well-liked washington insider and a good friend of the house speaker, paul ryan. but trump's top adviser will be his former campaign manager

business being in the white house. chip reid has his story. >> reporter: stephen bannon rarely appears on tv, but in political circles, he is well-known as a bomb-throwing leader of the anti-establishment branch of the republican party. before becoming chairman of the trump campaign, bannon was c.e.o. of the conservative web site breitbart news, which earned a reputation for bashing establishment republicans and promoting white nationalism. december argued that equality and diversity departments should only hire rich, straight, white men because only they can be impartial observers. the story said 70% of american judges are still white men, thank god for that. on capitol hill today, democrats including betty mccollum of minnesota railed against trump's decision. >> his appointment of stephen bannon as chief white house strategist is proof of the ugly direction mr. trump intends to take this country.

was accused of domestic violence, but the charges were dropped when his then-wife failed to appear at trial. after they divorced, she said in a court document that bannon opposed sending their twin daughters to a los angeles private school because he didn't want the girls going to school with jews. bannon has denied saying that. in a statement, the anti-defamation league said it is a sad day when man presided over a loose-knit group of white nationalists and racists is member in the people's house. >> people should look at the full resume. he's got a harvard business degree, he's a navel officer. >> reporter: today trump campaign manager andrea constand defended bannon, especially when asked about his alleged connection to white nationalists. >> i'm frankly offended that you think i would manage a campaign where that would be one of the going flows pis. it was not. >> reporter: the trump campaign did not respond to our request to interview bannon.

white nationalist views to the white house, a trump spokesman said, "nothing could be further from the truth and it's irresponsible to even make such baseless accusation." >> pelley: chip reid, thank you. staffing decisions like those are the most important challenges the new president will face. that was the incite of president obama today in his first news conference since his party's losses six days ago. jan crawford is at the white house. >> the people have spoken. donald trump will be the next president. >> reporter: setting aside the harsh rhetoric of the campaign, president obama struck a tone of conciliation. >> let him make his decisions, and i think the american people will judge over the course of the next couple of years whether they like what they see. >> reporter: in other words, give him time. >> do i have concerns? absolutely. of course i have concerns.

of issues. >> reporter: the president gave a nod to mr. trump's victory and his strengths. >> i think that connection that he was able to make with his supporters, that was impervious to events that might have sunk another candidate, that's powerful stuff. >> reporter: after their meeting last week in the oval office, president obama shared some impressions. >> i don't think he is ideological. i think ultimately he's pragmatic in that way. and that can serve him well. as long as he's got good people around him and he has a clear sense of direction. >> reporter: that's one reason he said he's hopeful mr. trump will preserve some of his foreign and domestic policy, including parts of obamacare. >> if they can come up with something better that actually works, i'll be the first one to say, "that's great.

was asked specifically about mr. trump's decision to name campaign c.e.o. steve bannon as his chief strategist. scott, he said he's not going to comment on individual appointments. > pelley: jan crawford at the white house tonight. jan, thank you. well, mr. trump is the first billionaire president with business interests worldwide. there are strict ethics rules for everyone in the federal government with only two exceptions: the president and the vice president. julianna goldman has been conflict with the trump family business. >> i think he's going to rely on us more than ever. >> reporter: cbs news has learned donald trump's transition team is exploring how the president-elect's children could receive top-secret security clearances. while nepotism rules prevent the present from hiring family to work in the white house, relatives could still serve as unpaid national security advisers with access to the nation's top secrets. the unprecedented request adds

administration from his business that's now run by his children. did they ever talk to you about it? >> they won't talk to my. the laws are very soft on this whole matter. i don't have to do anything. i don't know if you know, this i don't have to do anything. >> reporter: this are no rules to prevent conflicts of interest for presidents, but historically they've chose on the put their investments in a blind trust. >> a real blind trust would be one where he picked a independent third party to manage his investments. he would noguera what's going on. >> reporter: ethics watchdogs like larry noble say trump's setup doesn't pass muster. >> what that is is turning your business interests over to your family, which is very close to you. >> reporter: the arrangement doesn't solve conflicts lick trump's relationship with deutsche bank to, which he owes $300 million. the bank is in mull pi billion settlement negotiations with the justice department for trading in toxic mortgages.

there's also trump's new hotel in the old post office building in washington, which is leased from the federal government. even the tenants in his buildings pose a conflict, like the state-reason chinese bank that's paying rent the lease space on the 20th floor of trump tower. scott, it means a foreign government is putting money in the hands of the president and his family. >> pelley: julianna goldman, thanks. today a federal judge in minnesota sentenced three men who were part of a terrorist americans to fight for isis in syria. we profiled one of them recently on "60 minutes." jamie yuccas is in minneapolis. >> the three american-born men stood one by one as the federal judge read their sentences allowed. zackerya abdurahman charged with conspiracy to provide material support,ry received the harshest sentence, ten years in prison.

>> i'm glad they stopped him and send him back, you know. for that i'm very graceful. report because he's still alive. >> because he's still alive. >> abdullahha mohammed yusuf received 21 months served, though 20 years of supervision. abdirizak warsame will spend two and a half years in prison. warsam recruiter for the nine-member somali-american terrorist cell. in 2014, he had helped two others get into syria. they were both killed. he explained his actions on "60 minutes." >> i felt if i didn't do it, i would be a disgrace to god. i would be a disgrace to the world. i would be a disgrace to my family. >> reporter: judge davis, citing the interview, said he doubt whether the 21-year-old was con with extremism. >> i'm trying to be the best i can to make up for all of the things that i've done.

or are you saying that so the judge will go easy on you? > i believe that. >> reporter: u.s. attorney andrew lugar says this case is important to the community. >> we need programs to make sure these young men turn away from isil, turn away from the ideology and become productive members of society going forward. >> reporter: six more defendants will be sentenced other -- over next two days. the judge says he will not be lenient. scott, they could face up to 40 years in prison. >> pelley: jamie yuccas reporting for us tonig jamie, thank you. well, if you missed the supermoon, you're going to get another chance tonight. the moon will be nearly as big and bright as it was last night over the gateway arch in st. louis. and the statue of liberty in new york. the moon is closer than it's been since 1948, a little over 200,000 miles. that's caused higher-than-normal tides and minor coastal flooding in south florida. coming up next on the "cbs evening news," important news

long been under a cloud of suspicion. i sure had a lot to think about. what about the people i care about? ...including this little girl. and what if this happened again? i was given warfarin in the hospital, but wondered, was this the best treatment for me? so i asked my doctor. and he recommended eliquis. eliquis treats dvt and pe blood clots and reduces the risk of them happening again. yes, eliquis treats dvt and pe blood clots. eliquis also had significantly less major bleeding than the standard treatment. both made me turn around my thinking. don't stop eliquis unless your doctor tells you to. eliquis can cause serious and in rare cases fatal bleeding. don't take eliquis if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. if you had a spinal injection while on eliquis call your doctor right away if you have tingling, numbness, or muscle weakness. while taking eliquis, you may bruise more easily ...and it may take longer than usual for bleeding to stop.

eliquis may increase your bleeding risk if you take certain medicines. tell your doctor about all planned medical or dental procedures. eliquis treats dvt and pe blood clots. plus had less major bleeding. both made eliquis the right treatment for me. ask your doctor if switching to eliquis is right for you. our special today is the seared ahi tuna. don't you hate that? when they don't tell you how much something costs and you have to ask? maybe that's why i always make sure to... ... ?bring up the costs associated with your services.? i know. just one way edward jones makes sense of investing. when heartburn hits, fight back fast with tums smoothies. it starts dissolving the instant it touches your tongue. and neutralizes stomach acid at the source. ? tum -tum -tum -tum ?

>> pelley: researchers spent a decade studying an arthritis drowg to see if it causes heart problems. now the results are in, and dr. jon lapook has them. >> reporter: 64-year-old mary kay bostonnard takes celebrex to relieve debilitating pain for arths. >> it's my hand, my shoulders, my back. i've had back surgery because i've had arthritis. >> reporter: celebrex works by targeting an enzyme responsible for pain and inflammation. it's similar to vioxx, which was pulled from the market in 2004 because of increased risk of heart attack and stroke. >> were you concerned because vioxx is causing heart problems. what about celebrex, it's the same group? >> i was concerned. there's that little niggly in the back of your mind going, is

>> reporter: in 2005, the government required the maker of celebrex to conduct a trial. 25,000 people who had arthritis severe enough to require daily medication were given an anti-inflammatory,. they were then moder thed for cardiovascular events such as heart attack, stroke or death. dr. steve nissen led the ten-year study. >> i thought it would go against celebrex. >> reporter: what happened? >> everybody was including me. it's pretty clear that it was not worse. if anything it was trending a little bit toward being on the better side. >> reporter: the study also found a lower risk of gastrointestinal complications in celebrex compared with the other two. >> it really does take a drug that was under a cloud of suspicion after vie -- vioxx was withdrawn. it lifts that cloud and lets us think about this in different ways. >> reporter: remember, this study did not look at the

for, say, headache. but now for some patients with more severe and chronic pain, some doctors who veered away from using celebrex may now decide to use it. >> pelley: jon lapook, thank you. when we come back, a high-tech solution to lost luggage. daugh. roller derby. ? now give up half of 'em. do i have to? this is a tough financial choice we could face when we retire. of our annual income... we could keep doing all the things we love.

i'm hall of famer jerry west and my life is basketball. but that doesn't stop my afib from leaving me at a higher risk of stroke. that'd be devastating. i took warfarin for over 15 years until i learned more about once-daily xarelto... a latest generation blood thinner. xarelto? significantly lowers the risk of stroke in people with afib not caused by a heart valve problem. it has similar effectiveness to warfarin. warfarin interferes with vitamin k and at least six blood clotting factors. xarelto? is selective targeting one critical factor of your body's natural clotting function. for people with afib currently well managed on warfarin, there is limited information on how xarelto and warfarin compare in reducing the risk of stroke. like all blood thinners,

a blood clot or stroke. while taking you may bruise more easily, and it may take longer for bleeding to stop. xarelto may increase your risk of bleeding if you take certain medicines. xarelto can cause serious, and in rare cases fatal bleeding. get help right away for unexpected bleeding, unusual bruising or tingling. if you have had spinal anesthesia while on xarelto watch for back pain or any nerve or muscle related signs or symptoms. do not take xarelto if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. tell your doctor before all planned medical before starting xarelto tell your doctor about any conditions, such as kidney, liver or bleeding problems. to help protect yourself from a stroke, ask your doctor about xarelto. there's more to know.

radiofrequency identification or rfid chip, which is scaned as the bag moves through the system and on to a plane. if this light turns red, it means that bag does not belong on this flight. is this the beginning of the end of lost luggage? >> i believe it is. and i think that we're well on our way. >> reporter: delta senior vice president bill lentsch. >> we believe this has already had a 5% to 10% reduction on the number of mishandled bags that we have in our system, and i'll stress that's on top of an already industry-leading performance. >> reporter: american all right notifies flyers when their bags are loaded or unloaded from a plane. alaska is testing electronic bag tags. they update through the airlines mobile app and last for two years. the industry believes airlines could save up to three billion dollars over the next seven years with this technology. analysts henry harteveldt.
