6:34 pm
now moves to the senate where a 13-member working group will make changes. it's not yet clear how much the bill would cost or how many americans could lose health insurance. white house spokeswoman sarah huckabee sanders said the president will not rush the senate. >> we want to get it right, not get it fast. that's the focus. >> reporter: the house plan makes dramatic cuts to medicaid by capping its funding as of 2020 and by stopping payments to states participating in obamacare's expansion of the program. the bill also allows states to opt out of obamacare protections for people with preexisting conditions. senator chum shiewker says that's why democrats will vote against it. >> we will make sure that trumpcare doesn't pass the senate and can't hurt the american people. >> reporter: as the battle moves to the senate, mr. trump is moving on to the next item on his agenda. >> we're going to get this finished, and then we're going, as you know we put our tax plan in.

6:36 pm
french law prohibits reporting on the election the day before the vote, so it's difficult to see what effect, if any, the leaks could have on macron's lead. suspicion again falls on the russians and their suspected support for marine le pen, the other candidate, who is having enough problems already. the far right anti-immigration champion was jeered at one of her own rallies on the last day of campaigning. her meeting with vladimir putin during the campaign and the fact she's received funding from a russian bank, she said she couldn't get a loan from a french one, have led to the view she's too cozy with the russians anyway. in any event, the people who have come out the le pen's rallies are unlikely to be affected by the hacking scandal. they tend to be from the disaffected working class, often rural and
6:37 pm
as enthusiastic as the support for marine le pen is, the opinion polls show there's not enough of it. in fact, the gap is so big the danger for her opponent, emmanuel macron, is complacency. these people will come out to vote. the question for macron is whether his support will go to the polls, too. the macron campaign has released a video of what happened in last area's u.s. election, where hillary clinton and her supporters were so confident on the eve of the vote. >> we are feeling so great. >> reporter: the tag line, "the worst is not impossible. vote." emmanuel macron will be hoping that message gets through. mark phillips, cbs news, paris. >> morgan: the u.s. navy seal killed in somalia on friday has been identified as chief petty officer kyle milliken of falmouth, maine. he was 38 years old, a decorated hero, a husband, and a father. milliken was killed and two other seals were wounded in a

6:39 pm
russia and iran who support the assad regime and turkey who backs the opposition. under the agreement, starting today, several so-called deescalation zones will be created. these safe zones would see a halt to all hostility, including air strikes, allowing for humanitarian aid to be delivered and for civilians to safely return. there's also a proposal to deploy third-party monitoring forces. washington says they remain cautious, but they support any effort to deescalate the conflict in syria. and there are already reports on the ground of a significant drop in violence. however, fighting has been reported in some areas, including this alleged air strike in hama province. if history is any indicator. forging a peaceful path in syria won't be easy. opposition leaders have already criticized this agreement as being biased toward the regime. several ceasefire deals have been previously agreed to since syria's conflict broke out in 2011, but they have all failed to permanently stem the
