♪ this is the "cbs overnight news." welcome to the overnight news, i'm michelle miller. the united nations issued a warning to the iraqi forces closing in on the city of fallujah. beware civilian casualties. the u.n. says 400 iraqi families gathered up by isis gunmen and taken to the sit inny center to possibly act as human shields. civilians are trapped in the city. a few thousand managed to escape. fallujah under isis control more than two years. charlie d'agata has been to the front lines in this war and is watching events unfold from london. >> iraqi special forces say before dawn, isis militants used

six suicide car bombs towards the troops all destroyed before they hit their target. hint of the fight to come. their accuracy may be lacking. but the aim for iraqi forces and shiite militias is clear. tighten the noose on militants in fallujah. ground troops are closing in on three sides, led by elite iraqi counterterrorism forces backed up by u.s.-led air strikes. but u.s. military officials in baghdad tell cbs news iraqi forces have yet to advance into the city itself. and that won't be easy. although a few hundred residents managed to escape. tens of thousands more thought to be trapped in the city. held hostage by isis ill tants intent on using them as human shields. iraqi officials estimate more than 1,000 isis fighters remain in the city that was the first to fall to isis more than two years ago.

recapture nearby city and this is what it looked like when it was over. iraqi forces have discovered networks of tunnels left behind by isis militants. an entire neighborhoods boobytrapped with home made bombs. last with iraqi soldiers outside fallujah they were worried the closer they got to the city the more vulnerable they would be to suicide car bombs trying to pierce their fragile front lines. even as forces push into fallujah, isis struck back elsewhere. unleashing a wave of suicide bombings in the capital that have left more than 100 people dead. and counting. this morning the u.n. announced 3,700 people have fled since the offensive began. but they're risking their lives to try. isis controlled all of the roads leading out of the city. they have been known to execute anybody attempting to leave. >> here in the u.s., the outrage continues over the killing of harambe, the

cincinnati zoo. harambe was shot after a 4-year-old boy managed to find his way into the gorilla exhibit. local police and federal investigators are looking into the incident and the parents could face charges. but this wasn't the first bout of trouble at the zoo. in march some one left a door open to the polar bear exhibit. two bears walked out and were later shot with tranquilizer darts. jamie yuccas reports. >> reporter: cincinnati zoo officials say harambe was agitated and disoriented after heave encountered a child in his enclosure saturday. >> we did not take the shooting lightly. the child's life was in danger. >> monday, thane maynard doubled down on the decision to shoot the lowland gorilla after a 4-year-old boy climbed over a public barrier into the gorilla habitat. >> people who question that don't understand you can't take a risk with a silver back gore r goril gorilla. three times bigger than a

six times stronger. >> reporter: kim o'connor heard the boy and his mother arguing shortly before the incident. >> i'm going to go in. no you are not. i'm going to go in. no you are not. >> the gorilla death is under scrutiny. 300,000 people signed signed a petition. >> wildlife biologist jeff corwin isn't placing blame but says the public should be more attentive. >> we have responsibilities when we take our families. a lot of times we get lost in our cell phone or selfie picture, or texting. we are not keeping an eye on what is going on with our children. these are wild animals, not animtronics at dizzy world. the boy made his way past a 3 foot dense and 4 feet of plants and shrubs before dropping 15 feet into the mote below. and although the cincinnati zoo is standing by its decision, they too are mourning the gorilla along with jerry stones who took care of harambe for the first 15 years o

>> he was not mean. he was a gentle little guy. unforeseen circumstance was born. he had to lose. >> reporter: despite the outcry over the responsibility of the boy's parents, cbs has not confirmed whether his father was present at the zoo. zoo officials say that they have drills to prepare them for these types of situations. and had practiced the week before the incident. in rome, work on a subway line had to grind to a halt when excavators came across ancient ruins. selt >> reporter: when expanding the subway line in rome there is time built into the schedule for what they call archaeological risk. finding something they had never expect. it is a sitty with subway stops near places like the famed spanish steps. trevi fountain. or this stop, coll

coliseum. so expanding the metro creates challenges and rather spectacular discoveries. we were invited to the construction site where the line c subway is being built, looks more like an archaeological dig. this is rome. was it a surprise to find this? >> yes, absolutely. >> reporter: francesco prespereti, showed us what they uncovered when digging down several stories to build the subway station. >> now we are 9 meters deep. >> reporter: wow. around 2,000 years ago, these were military barracks for emperor hadrian's army. >> the rooms were decorated with mosaics and frescoes, the rooms were weapons storage and sleeping areas for troops of ancient rome. 13 adult skeletons were also uncovered. >> if we haven't built this station, we would never find, never havend

roman remains. >> reporter: instead of stopping work or relocating the find, the plan ties have an architect design a way to incorporate the discovery into the metro stop itself. it will become rome's first archaeological station, and likely be along the lines of metro museums in places like athens greece where travelers at a number of subway stops can look at ancient artifacts across the capital. >> a subway system plagued by delays. are we seeing the reason here? >> no. the problem is not the archaeology. most of the problems of the delays in construction of metropolitana are due to finance problem. >> reporter: not having enough money? >> not having enough money. >> reporter: the line c subway system not scheduled to be completed until

plenty of delays. many for far less visual just as ancient problem, corruption. >> the "cbs overnight news" will be right back.

the agent 3,000 shillings, $30 in cash. she converts it to virtual currency on my account. >> reporter: this is pretty easy. not like omening a bank account. there are over 100,000 of a gents look her across kenya creating a giant grid of human, atms. for most this is a side business. so a pharmacy will sell m-pesa or roadside spice shop. this basher will give you a shave and m-pesa. yes, you can even buy m-pesa here. >> this is banking. >> dent need the branches. don't need the branches. don't need the atm windows. >> absolutely not. scrolling down the options on the menu. send money. withdraw cash. pay a bill or buy goods and services. everyone uses a pin number for security. but this is not like paying with your smartphone in the u.s. because our devices are

we met mary tonke, a dairy farmer, sells milk in m-pes, pays farm hand in m-pesa and got a len to buy cows in m-pesa. couple buttons, you buy a cow? >> yes. actually, mary was able to buy two new cows and got a better rate than she would at a bank. since the loan transaction was by phone. there was hardly any overhead. >> rapidly increasing your business. >> yes. >> bitzness is good. yes it is good. we were surprised how much m-pesa changed life for the poor. in a slum south of nairobi, we met a pig farmer. before m-pesa, like most kenyans he had no electricity. and used to rely on ape kerosene

cause fires and at $200 a year, kerosene wasn't cheap. but steven reefs leent upgraded. he got solar power. and his first lightbulb. >> pretty good. it's liefting your ro inlightin. >> all over. m-copa solar, provided inexpensive power to the slums, using m-pesa. >> the panel up here? >> yeah, i can. >> can you show it to sunny. >> yeah, here, up. let me show you. oh, my goodness. it is little. >> reporter: the unit costs $180. less than kerosene. still out of steven aech price range for a single purchase. he paid $35 up front and 40 cents a day in m-pesa for a year. he never has to leave the farm. all he does is click

which activates a chip attached to the panel to turn it on. when you're finished paying it off. >> it will be mine. no more cost. >> reporter: the solar panel changed his life. he can tend to his pigs at night. his children can study indoor s without breathing toxic kerosene fumes. past efforts to introduce solar panels to the slums failed. in part because they were stolen. this has been solved because the same chip that turns the panel on can also disable it. if you don'tpr5] pay up, they your lights off? they have ability to -- to turn them off. >> these guys are excellent, madam. because once i don't pay they don't have how to come to me. the light just goes off. >> reporter: providing drinking walter another way m-pesa is making a difference. a third of kenyans do not have access to clean water. often receive lying on ape river

but the village got a new pump for its well. villagers pay for clean water by texting m-pesa to the meter box which unlocks the pump. a villager can get a month of walter for $6. for decades, development advocates implored banks to opponenten branches in reap mote places, but it made little business sense. nearly half of kenyans live on just $2 a day or less. their financial transactions were just too small. >> people don't buy a packet of cigarettes. they will buy a cigarette. we need to be operating at that level. people don't buy a tube of toothpaste. you go into the slums. see people buy a squeeze of toothpaste. you have to operate that microlevel. >> you can see that full report on our website, cbsnews.com. the overnight news will be right back.

this is the "cbs overnight news." welcome to the overnight news, i'm michelle miller. the united nations issued a warning to the iraqi forces closing in on the city of fallujah. beware civilian casualties. the u.n. says 400 iraqi families have been rounded up by isis gunmen and taken to the city center possibly to act as human shields. 50,000 civilians are trapped in city now. a few thousand managed to escape. fallujah under isis control more than two years. charlie d'agata has been to the front lines in this war and is watching events unfold from london. >> iraqi special forces say before dawn, isis militants used tunnels to get snipers and sent six suicide car bombs towards

the troops all destroyed before they hit their target. but it is just a hint of the fight to come. their accuracy may be lacking. but the aim for iraqi forces and shiite militias is clear. tighten the noose on militants in fallujah. commanders say ground troops are closing in on three sides, led by elite iraqi counterterrorism forces backed up by u.s.-led air strikes. but u.s. military officials in baghdad tell cbs news iraqi forces have yet to advance into the city itself. and that won't be easy. although a few hundred residents managed to escape. tens of thousands more thought to be trapped in the city. held hostage by isis militants intent on using them as human shields. iraqi officials estimate more than 1,000 isis fighters remain in the city that was the first to fall to isis more than two years ago. it took eight months to

recapture nearby city and this is what it looked like when it was over. iraqi forces have discovered networks of tunnels left behind by isis militants. an entire neighborhoods boobytrapped with home made bombs. when we were last with iraqi soldiers outside fallujah they were worried the closer they got to the city the more vulnerable they would be to suicide car bombs trying to pierce their fragile front lines. even as forces push into fallujah, isis struck back elsewhere. unleashing a wave of suicide bombings in the capital that have left more than 100 people dead. and counting. this morning the u.n. announced 3,700 people have fled since the offensive began. but they're risking their lives to try. isis controlled all of the roads leading out of the city. they have been known to execute anybody attempting to leave. >> here in the u.s., the outrage continues over the killing of pharambe, the gorilla at the cincinnati zoo. harambe was

uncovered. >> if we haven't built this station, we would never find, never have found this, this, roman remains. >> reporter: instead of stopping work or relocating the find, the plan is to have an architect design a way to incorporate the discovery into the metro stop itself. it will become rome's first archaeological station, and likely be along the lines of metro museums in places like athens greece where travelers at a number of subway stops can look at ancient artifacts across the capital. >> a subway system plagued by delays. are we seeing the reason here? >> no. the problem is not the archaeology. most of the problems of the delays in construction of metropolitana are due to finance problem. >> reporter: not having enough money? >> not having enough money. >> reporter: the line c subway system not scheduled to be completed until 2021. plenty of delays. many for far less visual jas
