70,000 of their passengers have missed flights so far this year because of the long tsa lines. the airline also pushed back on the argument that bag fees were to blame for the delays saying more than 40,000 checked bags on american have missed flights because of screening delays with checked bags. because we've gotten into this busy summer travel season there are fewer available seats on airplanes so if people miss flights today because of the long lines they may not be able to be rebooked onto a flight until saturday. the cbs overnight news will be right back.

at atlanta's hartsfield airport they're testing an automated system to move passengers through security more quakely. david begnaud was there. >> reporter: atlanta is the world's busiest airport. that's why it was selected for this test case. the idea is to free up tsa agents so they have time for other things and if it streamlines the process and makes the lines shorter, that's a plus too. you take out a basket from underneath, put it on top. drop your luggage and then you put it on the automated belt. let me give you the passenger perspective using the phone. if someone in front of you is taking a little extra time to take her shoes off, maybe they're distracted. your bag is already on the way, on the belt, headed for the machine. as you come out on the other side,

n something new. if you baguettes flagged what happens is it gets kicked to another conveyor belt on the left-hand side so it doesn't tie up the bags that are good to go. if your bag is good to go, you grab and it your on your way. they're testing out this system in london and in amsterdam. we're told so far over there, it's working very well. charlie, depending how well it works here in this test case over the sumner atlanta, it could be fast tracked around the u.s. >> thanks, david, well done. overseas, about 100 migrants are missing in the mediterranean off libya. their boat capsized during the perilous journey from north africa to europe. more than 6,000 have been rescued since monday. 40,000 this year. seth doane reports tonight from rome. >> reporter: overcrowded and top-heavy. the wooden fishing boat packed with migrants tipped over, sending hundreds plunging into the sea off the coast of libya. some tried to swim. others appeared to be swallowed

rescuers on the italian navy patrol vessel "beteca" worked quickly to save more than 500. the italian navy brought the rescued into port today in sicily. as the weather improves, thousands more are making this dangerous journey. amid so much tragedy there was a very different but still incredible picture. a baby was born on another migrant rescue boat. aid groups say the number of unaccompanied minors making the journey to europe is on the rise this year. and the international organization of migration says 1,370 migrants have died making that crossing in the mediterranean. >> seth doane in rome, thank you, seth. such desperation and tragedy. two navy f-18 fighter jets crashed off the n c

coast. all four crew members bailed out and escaped with minor injuries. the coast guard reported the planes collided in midair during a training run but the navy said only that it was an in-flight mishap. in japan president obama and the other g7 leaders agreed to stand firm against china's military expansion in the south china sea. beijing told them to mind their own business. tomorrow, mr. obama visits hiroshima, a city devastated by the bomb. margaret brennan has the story of some americans unlucky enough to be there that day. >> reporter: the images are haunting. but for susan archinsky and husband tony, they're also personal. a stark reminder of the american prisoners trapped in hiroshima when america detonated the first atomic bomb. one of them was susan's uncle. >> how close were they? >> very close. >> to the center of the bomb? >> right underneath it. like 900 met

american serviceman heading home. >> no one would have known they were there had the truck not come through town and they put them on the truck and they were able to tell the other p.o.w.s what happened to them. >> reporter: they died soon after from radiation sickness. >> they're victims and they should be known as victims just like everybody else. >> reporter: today the 12 p.o.w.s are remembered at the hiroshima memorial alongside the japanese victims. >> you can't go to the peace memorial park without knowing that everybody's main goal is for this to never happen again. >> reporter: the shadow of the bomb still lingers over the city. margaret brennan, cbs news, toba, japan. >> incredible story. still ahead, the sex abuse scandal at baylor university leads to a big shakeup. hogan's hero. the mystery man who helped a wrestling star win the match of his life.

baylor university fired its head football coach today and demoted its president kenneth starr. the shakeup follows a legal review that found the baptist university mishandled several cases of sexual assault involving football players. here's anna westerner. >> reporter: the report faulted baylor for a wholly inadequate response, saying the university failed to take appropriate action to respond to reports of sexual assault reportedly committed by football players. it said two university administrators directly discouraged complainants from reporting, and in one case retaliated against someone who reported a sexual assault. the university responded today by stripping the title of president from kenneth starr, who was the one-time special prosecutor who led president clinton's impeachment t

involving white house intern monica lewinski. and they fired football coach art briles. briles is credited with turning around the football program. but today some are questioning, at what cost? baylor board chairman richard willis apologized during a teleconference. >> we're deeply sorrowful about these events. we were just horrified by the extent of the acts of sexual violence on our campus. >> reporter: at least six women have accused eight baylor football players of violence. >> it is not enough. >> reporter: jasmine hernandez sued baylor in march claiming after she was raped the school ignored her pleas for counseling and justice. the player who assaulted her is now serving a 20-year sentence. >> hiding these very egregious acts of crime only allows them to continue further and to continue repeatedly. >> reporter: kenneth starr remains baylor's chancellor and a tenured law professor, but charlie, baylor told reporters on that teleconference call that

the courtroom match. one who was rich and motivated. here's john blackstone. >> reporter: behind the high-profile court case of hulk hogan versus the gossip website gawker was a secret. hogan, whose real name is terar balea, got nearly $10 million to pay for his legal team from silicon billionaire peter thiel. in a statement he said, "i am proud to have supported terry bollea against a bully's gross violation of privacy. gawker built its business on humiliating people for sport." thiel, founder of paypal and an early facebook investor, was targeted by gawker in a 2007 posting that outed him as gay. nick denton, gawker's founder, is unapologetic about his brand of news. >> gossip is the version of news that the authorities or the celebrities or the officials don't want people to know. it's the unauthorized version. >> reporter:

helped hogan win the $140 million award that could now put gawker out of business. it is also raising concern that money from thiel and others like him could silence free speech. >> it really isn't a question can someone else fund your litigation? of course they can. >> reporter: miriam smith is an expert in media and internet law at san francisco state university. >> does it make a difference that peter thiel kept his participation secret in this? >> it would be best to know who's funding the litigation. be best to know who's paying for what. >> reporter: late today both are trading jabs. gawker posted a letter saying thiel is on a decade-long scheme for revenge. thiel says he's not looking for revenge, just for a deterrent. up next, a place that sure looks like it's in a galaxy far, far away.

the force is not all that was awakened in the most recent "star wars" movie. mark phillips is on an island that just woke up from history. >> reporter: in the movie, rae and chewbacca flew "the millennium falcon" that looked like something only a hollywood set designer could dream up. in real life, you need a boat to get here. seven lumpy miles off the southwestern tip of ireland. the island has a history that goes back to the dawn of civilization. but it's never had to cope with anything like this. rae found luke skywalker. we found

bob normally guides tourists up the more than 600 steps that climb to the top of this unesco world heritage site. >> only one way up, i guess. >> that's right. >> reporter: steps that take you past breathtaking views. along heart-stopping ledges and past the puffins to the peak where about 1,500 years ago industrious monks built a monastery that was occupied the next six centuries. >> the magical thing to me is the fact that you can look in these dark doorways today and look in at exactly what sixth century men looked at. >> reporter: sixth century men never looked at anything like this. yet that's exactly what 21st century tourists have come to do. janet moore beamed up from tampa. >> we were planning to come to ireland before even the "star wars" movie came out. and then that clinched it. >> reporter: it clinched brian and ellie summerfield from michigan. >> we thought it would be fun to come out here and pretend i was

skywalker and she was -- what's her name? >> rae. >> yeah. >> reporter: the force, the old force, has always been strong here. but a new kind of force, some fear, may be the undoing of this place. one brief sequence in a movie may have undone 1,500 years of real history. paddy bush is a local poet. >> if you get crowds of people who simply want to visit a movie set, then skellig is no longer skellig, it's something else. >> reporter: 180 tourists all allowed each day. more may be too much for this place. sometimes the place seems too much for them. yet the draw of the real past and the imagined future keeps them coming. >> so the force is still here. >> i think the force has been here for a very long time. >> reporter: and the irish tourist board hopes the force stays with them. mark phillips, cbs news, skellig. >> that is the overnight news for this friday. for some of you the news continues. for others check back with us a

news and "cbs this morning." from the broadcast center in new york city, i'm charlie rose. this is the "cbs overnight news." welcome to the "overnight news." it's getaway day for the long memorial day weekend. aaa estimates that 38 million americans will go at least 50 miles from home over the next few days. the vast majority will travel by car. but more than 2.5 million people will be taking to the skies. and the trouble is expected to begin at the airport security gates. tens of thousands have already missed their flights this year because of the long security lines. and although the tsa is trying to address some of those problems, few of their solutions will be in place today. chris van cleave reports from reagan national. >> reporter: there is still a whole lot of concern about the lines this weekend and throughout the summer. maw the tsa says there are

times at major airports. but to really solve this problem an going to take time, money, d more people. >> that's completely unjustifiable. we're in our own crisis right now. i stopped that. >> reporter: damage control following fury over historically long lines at airports nationwide. tens of thousands have missed flights. some were left sleeping on cots at chicago's o'hare. >> administrator, the american people are angry and frustrated -- >> reporter: the house homeland security committee grilled tsa administrator peter 97 fin jer. >> people are paying $85 to go through precheck, showing up at the airport and the precheck lane is closed. >> my goal is to open those lanes -- >> things like that shouldn't take an act of congress. >> it took an act of me saying this is the way things have to happen. >> reporter: tsa is testing this automated screening lane at atlanta airport to see if it will improve efficiency and speed up lines. >> we hope it's going to cut into wait

run but this is not the quick fix for summer wait times. >> reporter: in the first five months of this year tsa screened 449 million travellers, up 57 million from the same period in 2015, with 5,800 fewer screeners than 2011. as the agency rushes to hire nearly 800 additional screeners by mid-june, k-9 units are being redeployed to busy airports and $34 million has been authorized for overtime ahead of the holiday weekend. >> have you done enough to address the wait times? do people need to get to airports three hours early? >> we put a lot of resources in. we're still focused on security. i think we've already seen a dramatic improvement. i would tell people to be aware there's going to be a lot of people in airports. i don't know what the right time is to get there but i think you're seeing dramatic improvement. >> reporter: the airlines are spending millions of dollars to hire private contractors to help with nonscreening activities around checkpoints, that includes pointing people to the proper lines, returning bins to the front, that sort of thing. later this morning

airports are going to be testifying before congress about how all of this is impacting their business. it's now a done deal. cbs news estimates that donald trump has the support of enough delegates to win the republican presidential nomination. there are still several states left to vote and he won't be the official nominee until the numbers are counted in fleefld. t cleveland. the freshman politician still has to win over the big names. house speaker paul ryan, for instance. trump is starting to make headway with big-money donors and he's vowing to win california in november. >> republicans have not won california in a presidential election since 1988. they've lost the last two by 23.5 points. but donald trump imagined running competitively in california. but his greeting in anaheim, once a republican stronghold, suggested otherwise. >> i'm going to make a heavy play for california. >> reporter: donald trump told

jimmy kimmel california might be in play in the general election. >> no other republican candidate for years would even waste time in california in terms of trying to get -- to win the state. i think i can win it. >> reporter: earlier outside trump's rally in anaheim, protesters threw punches, burned "make america great again" hats, and smashed a trump pinata. >> the safest place in this country to be is at a trump rally. i mean it. >> reporter: inside the convention center, trump promised quick growth that would address deep-seated voter frustration. >> we're bringing jobs into our country. jobs, jobs, jobs. >> reporter: fending off protesters from the podium. >> out, out, out, out! >> reporter: protesters have been a mainstay at trump rallies going back to the fall. >> reporter: cbs news journalest debb attended nearly all trump's rallies and says the atmosphere now is noticeably different. >> the protesters are growing in number. and there has been a little bit

>> reporter: paul manafort said a campaign against hillary clinton is "not a hard race" and trump will beat clinton branding her as a third term of president obama with worse ethics. trump was asked about his comments in 2008 and 2012 when he said clinton would make a great president. claiming back then he was just a businessman. >> so when they ask me about hillary, she's wonderful, everybody's wonderful. and that's the way it is. including contributions. they ask me for contributions, i give contributions. >> so you were full of [ bleep ] when you said that? >> trump was asked on kimmel if he would debate bernie sanders in california since clinton has refused. trump said he would do it, for charity. sanders tweeting in response, game on. hillary clinton's campaign remains in damage control after the state department's scathing report on her use of a personal e-mail server while she was secretary of state. the office of inspector general says there i

ever requested or obtained guidance or approval to use an e-mail server in her home. >> reporter: clinton says she has actually been incredibly open, handing over about 30,000 e-mails. but the report said she should have turned them over when she left the state kept in 2013, not after she was asked for them a year and a half later. and it added she shouldn't have had to turn them over at all if she had only used the department e-mail system. >> it's not an issue that is going to affect either the campaign or my presidency. >> reporter: clinton's first public comments about the critical report came in an interview with univision in los angeles. >> nothing has changed. it's the same story. just like previous secretaries of state, i used a personal e-mail. many people did. it was not at all unprecedented. >> reporter: but the state department's inspector general examining the records of secretaries of state date back

could only identify three cases where officials used nondepartmental e-mail systems on an exclusive basis for day-to-day operations. clinton, colin powell, and a former ambassador to kenya. the department's guidelines were that personal accounts should only be used in exceptional circumstances and the report said clinton's use of private e-mail is not an appropriate method of preserving a federal record. >> everything i did was permitted. there was no law. there was no regulation. >> reporter: the report contradicted that assertion saying that diplomatic security officials did not and would not approve her exclusive reliance on a personal e-mail account because of the security risks in doing so. state department staffers who did raise concerns about instructed never to speak of the secretary's personal e-mail system again. >> she had a little bad news today. >> reporter: in anaheim, donald trump was quick to capitalize. >>

the inspector general's report, not good. >> reporter: the cbs overnight news will be right back. e like shhh! no. found it! and definitely lipton ice tea. lots of it. a lipton meal is what you bring to it. and the refreshing taste of lipton iced tea. ugh, this pimple's gonnoh come on.ver. clearasil ultra works fast to begin visibly clearing up skin in as little as 12 hours. and acne won't last forever. just like your mom, won't walk in on you forever. stephen! stephen! stephen! stephen! stephen! you see what i'm saying. acne won't last. but for now, let's be clear. clearasil works fast. and discover clearasil 5in1. one simple step to fight five signs of acne. don't let dust and allergies get and life's beautiful moments. with flonase allergy relief, they wont. most allergy pills only control one inflammatory substance. flonase controls six.

insider trading is one of the hardest crimes to detect. it happens in whispers and phone calls. behind closed doors. one trader who did get caught turned into a government witness. she helped bring down one of the biggest hedge funds in the world. the story for "60 minutes." >> you are pushed and pushed to get this information. you know, you get the high-fives after the trade. i was sent flowers after one of the trades. a big thank you, a huge bouquet, thank you. >> sounds like you guys are in a bubble trading all this information while we sit and look at it and say, that's breaking the law. >> absolutely, we were breaking the law. >> reporter: breaking the law by obtain

information from friends in silicon valley connected to google and other tech companies. in two years, rumi kahn made $1.5 million from illegal trades alone. her friends and associates made an additional $25 million off her tips, investigators found. it was easy money. >> just like, if you are taking an exam tomorrow and somebody hands you what's going to be on the test, it's easy to get an a-plus. >> reporter: rumi kahn shared her tips with self-made billionaire raj who built one of the biggest hedge funds in the world, the $7 billion galleon group. federal authorities say he made more than $72 million from illegal tips from rumi kahn and other sources. the two met back in the 1990s when she was working at intel as a product marketer and had access to proprietary company information. raj tapped her for the inside information so he could trade

it. >> then he started asking me about, how is business? and i used to have access to intel's top customer micro processor bookings. i started giving him this information. >> so you started feeding him inside information from intel? >> absolutely, absolutely. >> reporter: rumi kahn was so brazen she used intel's fax machine to send him confidential data about product demand. she says raj referred to inside information as "the edge." she was such a good inside source, she said he offered her money to stay at intel. >> i'll give you 100k just to stay there. i don't remember the number he offered but he did offer me money to just stay there and keep giving him information. and i said, there's no way. >> reporter: rumi khan came to the united states from delhi, india, on a scholarship at age 23. she earned three graduate

degrees before joining intel. but she longed for the action of wall street and set out to build her own fortune. at the height of her success, she says she was worth $50 million. kahn moved into this $10 million gated estate in the heart of silicon valley. she was living the life she wanted where money was no object. >> jewelry, paintings, anything that you can think of. >> you had it all? >> we had it all, yes. >> the high life? >> absolutely. >> the sort of life we see in the movies with the hedge fund investors. >> probably. probably. >> reporter: one purchase from that time still makes her light up. >> the 17 carat famous diamond ring. >> the famous diamond ring cost how much? >> i think $1.7 million. >> reporter: she explained to us just how the biggest money could be made. when the predictions of wall street were at odds with the inside information. >> so the m

when your analysis is totally and opposite to what your edge is telling you. >> the inside information? >> if you have a really great source. >> reporter: rumi kahn had a really good source who knew what was going on inside google. a friend who worked for a firm that prepared google's press releases and who told her the company's quarterly income would be lower than expected. >> she told me they were going to miss the quarter. >> you made money off it? >> i did, i made $500,000. >> reporter: she shared the information with galleon chief raj who made $8 million betting against google just before the price dropped. >> and you're making good money but he's making far more. what's your motivation? >> well, i had access to raj. so i had that access to the billionaire biggest

on wall street. and that was worth a lot to me. >> reporter: her relationship with the hedge fund titan would be worth a lot to the government too. rumi kahn didn't know the securities and exchange commission, the s.e.c., had launched an investigation into raj. former s.e.c. attorney andrew michaelson was tracking his texts and trades. >> we did see mr. raj's instant messages. communications where he would say, amd's revenues are going to be "x." before amd itself announced them. and they were accurate. mr. raj's predictions were accurate. >> reporter: michaelson joined the s.e.c. in 2006 and this was one of his first cases. he remembers combing through stacks and stacks of galleon's trading and phone records, instant messages, and e-mails. >> how many documents are we talking about? >> hundreds of thousands. >> hundreds of thousands? >> sometimesou

there with a ruler to make sure you're getting exactly who is talking, what phone number's calling which phone number at what time. >> so you're connecting the dots? >> we're connecting the dots. then the next dot to connect is where's raj getting this information? >> reporter: finally, after six months of searching, they found the needle in the haystack in a single careless instant message from rumi kahn. >> i texted him and i said, don't buy polycom. in a text message. and then it says, till i took the guidance. >> you're saying, don't do anything until -- >> until i get my information. >> until i call my inside guy and get this inside information? >> right. >> reporter: it was the piece of evidence fbi special agent b.j.kang thought he could use to turn rumi kahn into an informant against raj. >> she w

all the players, she worked for galleon, she knew raj. >> reporter: he paid a visit in november 2007. >> two people knocked on my door and flashed their badge. and my heart sank because i just was like, oh my god. >> she knew we were dead serious. she knew why we were there. she knew this wasn't going to go away. >> reporter: kang showed her the polycom message she had sent to raj. >> when they showed me this message, i knew this was over. it was very easy for them to connect me to the executive at polycom. >> reporter: she knew she had to cooperate. starting in late 2007, she began to educate the feds on the hidden world of some of wall street's biggest players. >> we didn't have a very good understanding of what the hedge funds were doing. >> you didn't understand completely what you had? >> no, absolutely not. she kind of drew out the roadmap for us to say, this is what they're doing. this is how they're doing it. this is the language that they use.

when rae and chewbacca flew "the millennium falcon" to this rock in the waters, they weren't flying to a fictional place. skellig michael is the real thing. if you don't have a spaceship you need a boat to cross the miles of lumpy ocean off the southwest tip of ireland. also you get hugh and joe instead of rae and the wookiee. when you land you get bob. >> nice to see you. >> welcome to skellig. >> reporter: the tourist guy. >> like nowhere i've ever been. >> reporter: bob knows all about a place so special it's been declared a unesco world heritage site. not just for its spectacular beauty. and its enchanting wildlife. but because somewhere

sixth century a.d., a small group of adventurous devout christian monks established a monastery here. and generations of monks stayed for at least 600 years. the monks' beehive huts and chapel and graveyard have remained essentially as they were. four, five, six, seven, eight. does the 600 count these? >> reporter: to visit these wonders you have to climb. >> yep, here we go. i'm not even going to count. >> reporter: more than 600 steps that the monks carved into the cliff face. by step 400 you can hear your heartbeat. when rae came here she wasn't interested in the sights. she came on a mission. we came because rae came. and to see what "star wars" has done to the place. by the magic of the movies, there's no "millennium falcon" now. rae came to find luke skywalker.

it was a make-believe encounter that has had real consequences. luke skywalker may have thought skellig michael was a good place to come and hide, but he brought the new force with him and others think that might not be good for the place. where skywalker has come, others have followed. no spaceship but lots of little ships have brought an ever-increasing stream of tourists to the island. a bargain at 60 euros, about $67 a pop. they've been drawn certainly by its enduring charms. but also by its new hollywood notoriety. janet moore came all the way from tampa. >> we were planning to come to ireland before even the "star wars" movie came out. then that clinched it. >> reporter: and that also clinched it for brian and ellie summerfield from michigan. >> we thought it would be fun to come out here and pretend that i was luke sky walker and she was -- what's her name again this. >> rae. >> yeah. >> reporter: even if the visit n

people, both americans, have fallen off these steps and died here. but it's not just the numbers that are worrying. it's the fear that skellig michael, a special place for its history, is being confused with something else. >> you think there's been some compromise now, that people are coming to say, oh, that's not where a dozen monks lived 1,000 years ago, that's where luke skywalker landed "the millennium falcon"? >> the monks were here 1,300 years ago and people still know about them. i don't know how long people will know about "star wars" but they may know about it for a very long time. >> reporter: especially since scenes they've already filmed on the island feature in the next "star wars" movie too. those who brave the trip here, like fran politi from san francisco, hope all this fame doesn't change the place. >> you know, not too many railings. nowhere to buy ice cream. no bathrooms. that's good. i

"star wars" turns a quiet island into a tourist trap. one brief sequence to a movie may have undone 1,500 years of real history. >> this is the cbs overnight news. >> whatever you think of donald trump, he has done something quite amazing. 345 days after he announced his first run for public office, he

clinched the republican nomination for president of the united states. cbs news estimates that trump now hat 1238 delegates, one more than he needs. and he will be picking up more in the primaries still ahead. here's major garrett. >> i'm so honored. >> reporter: donald trump clinched the nomination with help from members of north dakota's gop convention delegation. >> the folks behind me got us right over the top. >> reporter: trump still faces pockets of republican resistance. house speaker paul ryan spoke with trump last night but again refused to endorse him. >> it was a productive phone call. like i said we've had these conversations, our staffs have been meeting. we had a very good and very productive phone call. i'll leave it at that. >> reporter: trump appeared equally noncommittal. >> paul ryan still has not endorsed you. what policy concessions are you willing to make in order to get his endorsement? >> we'll see what happens. we've had great conversations and we'll see what happens. >> reporter: some of the unease is due to trump's coin

governor susannah martinez. >> maybe i'll run for governor of new mexico, i'll get this place going. she's not doing the job. >> reporter: ryan and other republican leaders came to her defense worried about trump's standing with women and hispanics. trump remained unfazed. >> she was on somebody else's side. which is fine. that's everybody's right. i imagine she'll come over to my side. >> reporter: in a campaign defined by the unexpected, trump and bernie sanders are considering a debate before california's june 7th primary. >> i'd love to debate bernie. the problem is he's going to lose. >> i thank mr. trump for agreeing to debate. i look forward to it. and i look forward to defeating him and becoming the democratic nominee. >> reporter: hours before trump clinched the gop nomination, president obama said in japan, trump has justifiably rattled

"ignorance of world affairs." charlie, trump dismissed that line of attack and later posted this instagram photo showing his nomination-clinching victory meal from mcdonald's complete as the jingle once said with special sauce and a sesame seed bun. >> thanks, major. hillary clinton responded today to that state department audit that criticized her use of a private e-mail server while she was the nation's top diplomat. clinton insisted what she did was allowed even though the report said quite the opposite. with the candidate in san jose, california. >> it was allowed and the rules have been clarified since i left. >> reporter: clinton stuck to her story despite an 83-page report that concluded diplomatic security officials did not and would not approve her exclusive reliance on a personal e-mail account because of the security risks in doing so. >> my e-mail use was widely known in the department, throughout the government. >> reporter: clinton did not

was conducted by the agency she headed for four years. today the former secretary said she has been transparent in other ways. >> i testified for 11 hours before the committee, the benghazi committee. i have answered numerous questions. we have posted information on our website. >> this was all bad judgment. probably illegal. >> reporter: donald trump shared his legal views in north dakota. >> it's devastating, the report. it's devastating. and there's no reason for it. it's just, you know, skirting on the edge all the time. and you look back at her history and this is her history. >> reporter: clinton acknowledged, as she has before, that it was a mistake not to use a state department e-mail account. >> i know people have concerns about this. i understand that. but i think voters are going to be looking at the full picture of what i have to offer, my life and my service, and the full threat that donald trump offers our country.

>> reporter: clinton will begin airing a new spanish language ad here in california tomorrow. it talks about fighting back against the language of hate. it's a not so subtle reference to donald trump, charlie, but it's really meant to help her in a suddenly close primary fight here against bernie sanders. >> thanks, nancy. across the southern plains tonight, more than 25 million americans face the threat of tornados and flash floods. there are reports of a tornado outbreak in northeast kansas. omar villafranca is there. >> reporter: topeka is under a flash flood warning right now. that storm system is pounding a large swath of the country with hail and tornados, from texas all the way to nebraska. in total, the national weather service says more than 25 million people are under tornado and flooding watches, warnings or advisories. this afternoon a tornado touched down in ra

that twister was on the ground about five minutes but still managed to damage houses and tear down trees. good news, no reports of any injuries. another tornado ripped through northwest kansas today, just one day after an ef-3 tornado packing 136-mile-an-hour winds tore through the state and damaged dozens of homes. and 21 kentucky cave divers were caught in a flash flood while in a cave. we just received word, everyone made it out okay. >> thanks, omar. this is the busiest travel day of the memorial day weekend. lines at some airports have been endless. congress heard all about it today. chris van cleave is at washington's reagan national airport. kris? >> reporter: it was another day of frustration on capitol hill from airports and airlines. airports big and small are seeing flyer frustration turn to anger and worry that passengers could be reaching their breaking point. american airlines said more than

missed flights so far this year because of the long tsa lines. the airline also pushed back on the argument that bag fees were to blame for the delays saying more than 40,000 checked bags on american have missed flights because of screening delays with checked bags. because we've gotten into this busy summer travel season there are fewer available seats on airplanes so if people miss flights today because of the long lines they may not be able to be rebooked onto a flight until saturday. >> thanks are kris. the cbs overnight news will be right back. kris. the cbs overnight news will be right back.

p?p?o?gv at atlanta's hartsfield airport they're testing an automated system to move passengers through security more quickly. david begnaud was there. >> reporter: atlanta is the world's busiest airport. that's why it was selected for this test case. the idea is to free up tsa agents so they have time for other things and if it streamlines the process and makes the lines shorter, that's a plus too. here's how it works. you take out a basket from underneath, put it on top. drop your luggage and then you put it on the automated belt. let me give you the passenger perspective using the phone. if someone in front of you is taking a little extra time to take her shoes off, maybe they're distracted. your bag is already on the way, on the belt, headed for the machine. as you come out on the other side, you'll notice something new.

if your bag gets flagged for water or something else they want to check, what happens is it gets kicked to another conveyor belt on the left-hand side so it doesn't tie up the bags that are good to go. if your bag is good to go, you grab and it you're on your way. they're testing out this system in london and in amsterdam. we're told so far over there, it's working very well. charlie, depending how well it works here in this test case over the summer in atlanta, it could be fast tracked around the u.s. >> thanks, david, well done. overseas, about 100 migrants are missing in the mediterranean off libya. their boat capsized during the perilous journey from north africa to a better life in europe. more than 6,000 have been rescued since monday. 40,000 this year. seth doane reports tonight from rome. >> reporter: overcrowded and top-heavy. the wooden fishing boat packed with migrants tipped over, sending hundreds plunging into the sea off the coast of libya. some tried to swim. others appeared to be swallowed up by the boat as it capsized.

rescuers on the italian navy patrol vessel "beteco" worked quickly to save more than 500. the italian navy brought the rescued migrants and refugees into port today in sicily. as the weather improves, thousands more are making this dangerous journey. amid so much tragedy there was a very different but still incredible picture. a baby was born on another migrant rescue boat. aid groups say the number of unaccompanied minors making the journey to europe is on the rise this year. and the international organization of migration says 1,370 migrants have died making that crossing in the mediterranean. >> seth doane in rome, thank you, seth. such desperation and tragedy. two navy f-18 fighter jets crashed off the north carolina coast. all four crew memberil

>> very close. >> right underneath it. like 900 meters from the epicenter. >> reporter: the explosion ripped through the city, killing 80,000 people instantly. 12 p.o.w.s were held captive inside a police station that stood here. archinsky's uncle norman brousett was a 19-year-old gunner whose plane had been shot down over the sea of japan nine days earlier. >> they were hit by anti-aircraft artillery and they landed in the water, smoking. >> the last anybody knew they were floating in the ocean. >> reporter: having defied the odds once, he survived the initial bomb blast along with army sergeant ralph neil. >> it is believed they were probably in a different part of the building when the bomb went off because ten of them perished instantly. >> reporter: to save themselves the two men dove into a cesspool. when they emerged, the city was in ruins. whole neighborhoods gone. people lay dying in the streets. those still walking poisoned by radiation. a short time later, they were picked up by the japanese military where he met another

home. >> no one would have known they were there had the truck not come through town and they put them on the truck and they were able to tell the other p.o.w.s what happened to them. >> reporter: the two men died soon after from radiation sickness. >> they're victims and they should be known as victims just like everybody else. >> reporter: today the 12 p.o.w.s are remembered at the hiroshima memorial alongside the japanese victims. >> you can't go to the peace memorial park without knowing that everybody's main goal is for this to never happen again. >> reporter: the shadow of the bomb still lingers over the city. margaret brennan, cbs news, toba, japan. >> incredible story. still ahead, the sex abuse scandal at baylor university leads to a big shakeup. hogan's hero. the mystery man who helped a wrestling star win the match of his life.

baylor university fired its head football coach today and demoted its president kenneth starr. the shakeup follows a legal review that found the baptist university mishandled several cases of sexual assault involving football players. here's anna werner. >> reporter: the report faulted baylor for a wholly inadequate response, saying the university failed to take appropriate action to respond to reports of sexual assault reportedly committed by football players. it said two university administrators directly discouraged complainants from reporting, and in one case retaliated against someone who reported a sexual assault. the university responded today by stripping the title of president from kenneth starr, who was the one-time special prosecutor who led president clinton's impeachment trial involving white house intern

monica lewinski. and they fired football coach art briles. briles is credited with turning around the football program. but today some are questioning, at what cost? baylor board chairman richard willis apologized during a teleconference. >> we're deeply sorrowful about these events. we were just horrified by the extent of the acts of sexual violence on our campus. >> reporter: at least six women have accused eight baylor football players of violence. >> it is not enough. >> reporter: jasmine hernandez sued baylor in march claiming after she was raped, the school ignored her pleas for counseling and justice. the player who assaulted her is now serving a 20-year sentence. >> hiding these very egregious acts of crime only allows them to continue further and to continue repeatedly. >> reporter: kenneth starr remains baylor's chancellor and a tenured law professor, but charlie, baylor told reporters on that teleconference call that he will no longer have any operational responsibilities.

>> thanks, anna. coming up, a deadly shooting at a concert.

one who was rich and motivated. here's john blackstone. >> reporter: behind the high-profile court case of hulk hogan versus the gossip website gawker was a secret. hogan, whose real name is terry bollea, got nearly $10 million to pay for his legal team from silicon billionaire peter thiel. in a statement he said, "i am proud to have supported terry bollea against a bully's gross violation of privacy. gawker built its business on humiliating people for sport." thiel, founder of paypal and an early facebook investor, was targeted by gawker in a 2007 posting that outed him as gay. nick denton, gawker's founder, is unapologetic about his brand of news. >> gossip is the version of news that the authorities or the celebrities or the officials don't want people to know. it's the unauthorized version. >> reporter: thiel's support

million award that could now put gawker out of business. it is also raising concern that money from thiel and others like him could silence free speech. >> it really isn't a question can someone else fund your litigation? of course they can. >> reporter: miriam smith is an expert in media and internet law at san francisco state university. >> does it make a difference that peter thiel kept his participation secret in this? >> it would be best to know who's funding the litigation. it would be best to know who's paying for what. >> reporter: late today both are trading jabs. gawker posted a letter saying thiel is on a decade-long scheme for revenge. thiel says he's not looking for revenge, just for a deterrent. up next, a place that sure looks like it's in a galaxy far, far away.

the force is not all that was awakened in the most recent "star wars" movie. mark phillips is on an island that just woke up from history. >> reporter: in the movie, rae and chewbacca flew "the millennium falcon" to an island that looked like something only a hollywood set designer could dream up. in real life, you need a boat to get to skellig michael. seven lumpy miles off the southwestern tip of ireland. the island has a history that goes back to the dawn of civilization. but it's never had to cope with anything like this. rae found luke skywalker. we found bob. >> welcome to skellig. >> thank you very much. here

>> reporter: bob normally guides tourists up the more than 600 steps that climb to the top of this unesco world heritage site. >> only one way up, i guess. >> that's right. >> reporter: steps that take you past breathtaking views. along heart-stopping ledges and past the puffins to the peak where about 1,500 years ago industrious monks built a monastery that was occupied the next six centuries. >> the magical thing to me is the fact that you can look in these dark doorways today and look in at exactly what sixth century men looked at. >> reporter: sixth century men never looked at anything like this. yet that's exactly what 21st century tourists have come to do. janet moore beamed up from tampa. >> we were planning to come to ireland before even the "star wars" movie came out. and then that clinched it. >> reporter: it clinched brian and ellie summerfield from michigan. >> we thought it would be fun to come out here and pretend i was skywalker and she was -- what's her name? >> rae.

>> yeah. >> reporter: the force, the old force, has always been strong here. but a new kind of force, some fear, may be the undoing of this place. one brief sequence in a movie may have undone 1,500 years of real history. paddy bush is a local poet. >> if you get crowds of people who simply want to visit a movie set, then skellig is no longer skellig, it's something else. >> reporter: 180 tourists are now allowed each day. more may be too much for this place. sometimes the place seems too much for them. yet the draw of the real past and the imagined future keeps them coming. >> so the force is still here. >> i think the force has been here for a very long time. >> reporter: and the irish tourist board hopes the force stays with them. mark phillips, cbs news, skellig. >> that is the "overnight news" for this friday. for some of you the news continues. for others check back with us a little later for the morning news acb

from the broadcast center in new york city, i'm charlie rose. this is the "cbs overnight news." >> welcome to the "overnight news." it's getaway day for the long memorial day weekend. aaa estimates that 38 million americans will go at least 50 miles from home over the next few days. the vast majority will travel by car. but more than 2.5 million people will be taking to the skies. and the trouble is expected to begin at the airport security gates. tens of thousands have already missed their flights this year because of the long security and although the tsa is trying to address some of those problems, few of their solutions will be in place today. kris van cleave reports from reagan national. >> reporter: there is still a whole lot of concern about the lines this weend

throughout the summer. now the tsa says there are making progress at reducing wait times at major airports. but toll reay solve this problem is going to take time, money, and more people. >> that's completely unjustifiable. we're in our own crisis right now. i stopped that. >> reporter: damage control on capitol hill wednesday following fury over historically long lines at airports nationwide. tens of thousands have missed flights. some were left sleeping on cots at chicago's o'hare. >> administrator, the american people are angry and frustrated -- >> reporter: the house homeland security committee grilled tsa administrator peter neffinger. >> people are paying $85 to go through precheck, showing up at the airport and the precheck lane is closed. >> my goal is to open those precheck lanes open throughout the day -- >> things like that shouldn't take an act of congress. is as you know. >> no it took an act of me and i said, that's the way things have to happen. >> reporter: tsa is testing this automated screening lane at atlanta airport to see if it will improve efficiency and speed up lines. >> we hope it's going to cut into wait times over the long run but this is not the quick fix su

>> reporter: in the first five months of this year tsa screened 449 million travellers, up 57 million from the same period in 2015, with 5,800 fewer screeners than 2011. as the agency rushes to hire nearly 800 additional screeners by mid-june, k-9 units are being redeployed to busy airports and $34 million has been authorized for overtime ahead of the holiday weekend. >> have you done enough to address the wait times? do people need to get to airports three hours early? >> we put a lot of resources in. we're still focused on security. i think we've already seen a dramatic improvement. i would tell people to be aware there's going to be a lot of people in airports. i don't know what the right time is to get there but i think you're seeing dramatic improvement. >> reporter: the airlines are spending millions of dollars to hire private contractors to help with nonscreening activities around checkpoints, that includes pointing people to the proper lines, returning bins to the front, that sort of thing. later this morning executives from theli

airports are going to be testifying before congress about how all of this is impacting their business. it's now a done deal. cbs news estimates that donald trump has the support of enough delegates to win the republican presidential nomination. there are still several states left to vote and he won't be the official nominee until the numbers are counted in cleveland. the freshman politician still has to win over some of the biggest names in the republican party. house speaker paul ryan, for instance. trump is starting to make headway with big-money donors and he's vowing to win california in november. major garrett reports. >> republicans have not won california in a presidential election since 1988. they've lost the last two by 23.5 points. but donald trump imagines running competitively in california. but his greeting in anaheim, once a republican stronghold, suggested otherwise. >> i'm going to make a heavy play for california. >> reporter: donald trump told jimmy kimmel california might be in play in ten

>> no other republican candidate for years would even waste time in california in terms of trying to get -- to win the state. i think i can win it. >> reporter: earlier outside trump's rally in anaheim, protesters threw punches, burned "make america great again" hats, and smashed a trump pinata. >> the safest place in this country to be is at a trump rally. i mean it. >> reporter: inside the convention center, trump promised economic growth that would address deep-seated voter frustration. >> we're bringing jobs into our country. jobs, jobs, jobs. >> reporter: fending off protesters from the podium. >> out, out, out, out! >> reporter: protesters have been a mainstay at trump rallies going back to the fall. >> reporter: cbs news journalist debb attended nearly all trump's rallies and says the atmosphere now is noticeably different. >> the protesters are growing in number. and there has been a little bit more vitriol on both sides.

>> crooked hillary, crooked hillary. >> reporter: trump campaign chairman paul manafort said a campaign against hillary clinton is "not a hard race" and trump will beat clinton branding her as a third term of president obama with worse ethics. last night trump was asked about his comments in 2008 and 2012 when he said clinton would make a great president. claiming back then he was just a businessman. >> so when they asked me about hillary, she's wonderful, everybody's wonderful. and that's the way it is. including contributions. they ask me for contributions, i give contributions. >> so you were full of [ bleep ] when you said that? >> trump was asked on kimmel if he would debate bernie sanders in california since clinton has refused. trump said he would do it, for charity. sanders tweeting in response, game on. hillary clinton's campaign remains in damage control after the state department's scathing report on her use of a personal e-mail server while she was secretary of state. the office of inspector general says there is no evidence she

ever requested or obtained guidance or approval to use an e-mail server in her home. >> reporter: clinton says she has actually been incredibly open, handing over about 30,000 e-mails. but the report said she should have turned them over when she left the state department in 2013, not after she was asked for them a year and a half later. and it added she shouldn't have had to turn them over at all if she had only used the department e-mail system. >> it's not an issue that is going to affect either the campaign or my presidency. >> reporter: clinton's first public comments about the critical report came in an interview with univision in los angeles. >> nothing has changed. it's the same story. just like previous secretaries of state, i used a personal e-mail. many people did. it was not at all unprecedented. >> reporter: but the state department's inspector general examining the records of

secretaries of state dating back to madeline albright said it could only identify three cases where officials used nondepartmental e-mail systems on an exclusive basis for day-to-day operations. clinton, colin powell, and a former ambassador to kenya. the department's guidelines were that personal accounts should only be used in exceptional circumstances and the report said clinton's use of private e-mail is not an appropriate method of preserving a federal record. >> everything i did was permitted. there was no law. there was no regulation. >> reporter: the report contradicted that assertion saying that diplomatic security officials did not and would not approve her exclusive reliance on a personal e-mail account because of the security risks in doing so. state department staffers who did raise concerns about instructed never to speak of the secretary's personal e-mail system again. >> she had a little bad news today. >> reporter: in anaheim, donald trump was quick to capitalize. >> not so good.

the inspector general's report, not good. >> reporter: the cbs overnight news will be right back.

let's be clear. clearasil works fast. insider trading is one of the hardest crimes to detect. it happens in whispers and phone calls. behind closed doors. one trader who did get caught turned into a government witness. she helped bring down one of the biggest hedge funds in the world. bill whitaker has the story for "60 minutes." >> you are pushed and pushed to get this information. you know, you get the high-fives after the trade. i was sent flowers after one of the trades. a big thank you, a huge bouquet, thank you. >> sounds like you guys are in a bubble trading all this information while we sit and look at it and say, that's breaking the law. >> absolutely, we were breaking the law. >> reporter: breaking the law by obtaining confidential information from friends in

silicon valley connected to google and polycom and other tech companies. in two years, roomy khan made $1.5 million from illegal trades alone. her friends and associates made an additional $25 million off her tips, investigators found. it was easy money. >> just like, if you are taking an exam tomorrow and somebody hands you what's going to be on the test, it's easy to get an a-plus. >> reporter: roomy khan shared her tips with self-made billionaire raj rajaratnam who built one of the biggest hedge funds in the world, the $7 billion galleon group. federal authorities said raj rat natural made over $72 million from illegal tips from roomy khan and other sources. the two met back in the 1990s when she was working at intel as a product marketer and had access to proprietary company information.

raj rajaratnam tapped her for the inside information so he could trade on it. >> then he started asking me about, how is business? and i used to have access to intel's top customer microprocessor bookings. i started giving him this information. >> so you started feeding him inside information from intel? >> absolutely, absolutely. >> reporter: roomy khan was so brazen she used intel's fax machine to send him confidential data about product demand. she says rajaratnam referred to inside information as "the edge." she was such a good inside source, she said he offered her money to stay at intel. >> i'll give you 100k just to stay there. i don't remember the number he offered but he did offer me money to just stay there and keep giving him information. and i said, there's no way. >> reporter: roomy khan came to the united states from delhi, india, on a scholarship at age 23. she earned three graduate degrees before joining intel.

but she longed for the action of wall street and set out to build her own fortune. at the height of her success, she says she was worth $50 million. khan moved into this $10 million gated estate in the heart of silicon valley. she was living the life she wanted where money was no object. >> jewelry, paintings, anything that you can think of. >> you had it all? >> we had it all, yes. >> the high life? >> absolutely. >> the sort of life we see in the movies with the hedge fund investors. >> probably. probably. >> reporter: one purchase from that time still makes her light up. >> the 17-carat famous diamond ring. >> the famous diamond ring cost how much? >> i think $1.7 million. >> reporter: she explained to us just how the biggest money could be made. when the predictions of wall street were at odds with the inside information. >> so the most money you make is

when your analysis is totally and opposite to what your edge is telling you. >> the inside information? >> if you have a really great source. >> reporter: roomy khan had a really good source who knew what was going on inside google. a friend who worked for a firm that prepared google's press releases and who told her the company's quarterly income would be lower than expected. >> she told me they were going to miss the quarter. >> you made money off it? >> i did, i made $500,000. >> reporter: she shared the information with galleon chief raj rajaratnam who made $8 million betting against google just before the price dropped. >> and you're making good money but he's making far more. what's your motivation? >> well, i had access to raj. so i had that access to the billionaire biggest hedge fund on wall street.

>> reporter: her relationship with the hedge fund titan would be worth a lot to the government too. roomy khan didn't know the securities and exchange commission, the s.e.c., had launched an investigation into rajaratnam. former s.e.c. attorney andrew michaelson was tracking his texts and trades. >> we did see mr. rajaratnam's instant messages. communications where he would say, amd's revenues are going to be "x." before amd itself announced them. and they were accurate. mr. rajaatnam's predictions were accurate. >> reporter: michaelson joined the s.e.c. in 2006 and this was one of his first cases. he remembers combing through stacks and stacks of galleon's trading and phone records, instant messages, and e-mails. >> how many documents are we talking about? >> hundreds of thousands. >> hundreds of thousands? >> sometimes you'd have to sit

you're getting exactly who is talking, what phone number's calling which phone number at what time. >> so you're connecting the dots? >> we're connecting the dots. then the next dot to connect is where's raj rajaratnam getting this information? >> reporter: finally, after six months of searching, they found the needle in the haystack in a single careless instant message from roomy khan. >> i texted him and i said, don't buy polycom. >> in writing? >> it was a text message. >> electronic writing? >> yes. and it said, till i check the guidance. >> you're saying, don't do anything until -- >> until i get my information. >> until i call my inside guy and get this inside information? >> right. >> reporter: it was the piece of evidence fbi special agent b.j. kang thought he could use to turn roomy khan into an informant against rajaratnam. >> she was an insider, she knew all the players, she worked for

galleon, she knew raj. >> reporter: he paid a visit in november 2007. >> two people knocked on my door and flashed their badge. and my heart sank because i just was like, oh my god. >> she knew we were dead serious. she knew why we were there. she knew this wasn't going to go away. >> reporter: kang showed her the polycom message she had sent to rajaratnam. >> when they showed me this text message, i knew this was over. it was very easy for them to connect me to the executive at polycom. >> reporter: she knew she had to cooperate. starting in late 2007, she began to educate the feds on the hidden world of some of wall street's biggest players. >> we didn't have a very good understanding of what the hedge funds were doing. >> you didn't understand completely what you had? >> no, absolutely not. she kind of drew out the roadmap for us to say, this is what they're doing. this is how they're doing it. this is the language that they use. here yo.

the "star wars" craze has landed a small island off the coast of ireland. skellig michael played a starring role in the movie, now fans are coming from far and wide to take a firsthand look. mark philips did too.

>> reporter: it looks like something only a hollywood set designer could come up with. yet when rae and chewbacca flew "the millennium falcon" to this dramatic rock in "star wars," they weren't flying to a fictional place. skellig michael is the real thing. if you don't have a spaceship you need a boat to cross the lumpy seven miles of open ocean off the southwest tip of ireland. also you get hugh and joe instead of rae and the wookiee. when you land you get bob. >> nice to see you. >> welcome to skellig. >> reporter: the tourist guy. >> like nowhere i've ever been. >> reporter: bob knows all about a place so special it's been declared a unesco world heritage site. not just for its spectacular beauty. and its enchanting wildlife. but because somewhere around the

group of adventurous devout christian monks established a monastery here. and generations of monks stayed for at least 600 years. the monks' beehive huts and chapel and graveyard have remained essentially as they were. four, five, six, seven, eight. does the 600 count these? >> reporter: to visit these wonders you have to climb. >> yep, here we go. i'm not even going to count. >> reporter: more than 600 steps that the monks carved into the cliff face. by step 400 you can hear your heartbeat. when rae came here she wasn't interested in the sights. she came on a mission. we came because rae came. and to see what "star wars" has done to the place. by the magic of the movies, there's no "millennium falcon" now. rae came to find luke skywalker.

that has had real consequences. luke skywalker may have thought skellig michael was a good place to come and hide, but he brought the new force with him and others think that might not be good for the place. where skywalker has come, others have followed. no spaceship but lots of little ships have brought an ever-increasing stream of tourists to the island. a bargain at 60 euros, about $67 a pop. they've been drawn certainly by its enduring charms. but also by its new hollywood notoriety. janet moore came all the way from tampa. >> we were planning to come to ireland before even the "star wars" movie came out. then that clinched it. >> reporter: and that also clinched it for brian and ellie summerfield from michigan. >> we thought it would be fun to come out here and pretend that i was luke skywalker and she was -- what's her name again? >> rae. >> yeah. >> reporter: even if the visit

can be a challenge for some, two people, both americans, have fallen off these steps and died here. but it's not just the numbers that are worrying. it's the fear that skellig michael, a special place for its history, is being confused with something else. >> you think there's been some compromise now, that people are coming to say, oh, that's not where a dozen monks lived 1,000 years ago, that's where luke skywalker landed "the millennium falcon"? >> the monks were here 1,300 years ago and people still know about them. i don't know how long people will know about "star wars" but they may know about it for a very long time. >> reporter: especially since scenes they've already filmed on the island feature in the next "star wars" movie too. those who brave the trip here, like fran politi from san francisco, hope all this fame doesn't change the place. >> you know, not too many railings. nowhere to buy ice cream. no bathrooms. that's good. >> if it's good enough for luke, it's good enough for you?
