this is the cbs overnight news. >> president trump says he's very supportive of the health care plan senate republicans rolled out today. >> within hours the bill went from being a secret to a lightning rod. four showing their opposition. >> we not support the bill we're open to negotiation we want it to be more like a bill. >> the
2:11 am
eliminates obamacare's insurance mandates and its new taxes on the wealthy. but it retains a good chunk of obamacare's tax credits to help lower income americans buy insurance. >> i'm going to go back and read the bill. >> reporter: many senate republicans said that's an improvement on the house version, which president trump recently described as mean. south carolina's lindsay graham: >> it leaves pre-existing illnesses alone, so you'll never be denied coverage because you're sick. that's a pretty good place to start. i have to run it by south carolina and see how it will fix us on the medicaid side. >> reporter: the senate bill would roll back obamacare's expansion of medicaid. >> no cuts to medicaid! >> reporter: that drew dozens of disabled protesters to senate leader mitch mcconnell's office today, and it's a sticking point for several moderate republicans. >> i have a lot of concerns. >> reporter: so republican leaders must now find ways to appease both wings of their party, in the face of universal opposition from democrats like oregon's ron wyden.
2:12 am
>> senate republicans are going to keep telling americans they're fixing their health care, right up until the second when it gets taken away. >> reporter: on facebook, former president obama call the g.o.p. plan "a massive transfer of wealth from middle-class and poor families to the richest people in america." "simply put," he wrote, "if there's a chance you might get sick, get old, or start a family, this bill will do you harm." the survival of his signature achievement now depends on the ability of republicans to work out their differences. they can only afford to lose two senate republicans, anthony, and as you can see, there are far more holdouts than that right now. >> mason: nancy cordes on capitol hill. thanks. inspectors are checking pbuildings all over britain
2:13 am
external panels that burn quickly and produce poisonous fumes. the panels may have played a role in the high-rise fire last week that killed 79 people. jonathan vigliotti is in london. >> reporter: investigators suspect the plastic core of the exterior cladding of grenfell tower was the reason the fire spread so rapidly, engulfing the 24-story building in less than an hour. british authorities are now rushing to test the cladding on at least 600 other high rises. known in the trade as "aluminum composite material," or a.c.m., the cladding encases a polyethylene core that is flammable. it is banned in the united states and parts of europe on any building over 40 feet that firefighters can't reach with ladders. but britain has not followed suit. residents booed prime minister theresa may over the government's handling of the fire. today, she announced that seven other high-rise towers have been found to have this same cladding. >> shortly before i came to the chamber, i was informed that a
2:14 am
back as combustible. >> reporter: when it burns it produced cyanide fumes and three he people had to be given a antedote. >> reporter: the cladding manufacturer, new york-based arconic, said today it fully supports the british investigation. its own brochure says this type of cladding never should have been used on any building more than 32 feet high. anthony, police are now looking at how it came to be installed in this high-rise building. >> mason: jonathan vigliotti, thanks. the pentagon put out photos today of what it calls an unsafe intercept of a u.s. spy plane over the baltic sea this week. a russian fighter jet came within five feet of the american plane's wing tip, then flew under the spy plane and came up on the other side. the russians insist the u.s. is to blame for making a provocative move.
2:15 am
an apparent case of road rage triggered a frightening crash yesterday on a southern california freeway. jamie yuccas has the cell phone video, which plays like a scene from an action movie. >> reporter: in this video, you see a motorcyclist kick the driver-side door of a nissan sedan. the sedan then swerved and hit a cement divider, bounced out into traffic, and slammed into a pickup truck, causing it to flip over on this busy southern california freeway. >> i have a gouge up in my head somewhere. >> reporter: the driver of that truck, 75-year-old carlos benavidez, was rushed to the hospital. >> i saw my world coming to an end, to be honest with you. when i felt the impact, and my truck spun out from beside me, and i started to roll. i saw nothing but asphalt and-- and sky. >> reporter: you thought you were going to die. >> i honestly did. >> reporter: we reached chris traber, the man who shot the video from the passenger seat of another car by phone today. he says he began recording when
2:16 am
lane change suddenly shift into high gear. >> yeah, it was like, what the heck is going on with these people. i don't know if the driver of the car got scared or freaked out, like, "what am i supposed to do now?" or intentionally try to run him off the road. >> reporter: according to the latest figures from the national highway transportation safety administration, fatalities from aggressive drive having increased 60% since 2011. about two-thirds of highway deaths are caused by aggressive driving. joshua greengard is with the california highway patrol. >> whatever they did for this incident to occur doesn't warrant them fighting in the middle of the freeway. >> reporter: officers are trying to track down the motorcyclist who could face a felony if he's charged with a hit-and-run for what happened on this california freeway. as for carlos, he's already survived cancer, heart disease, and now this crash. anthony, after rewatching the video, he really can't believe he walked away. >> mason: maybe he should buy a lottery ticket. jamie yuccas, thanks very much.

>> mason: heart disease kills more american women than cancer. yet, many don't discuss the dangers with their doctors. in a new study, 74% of women reported having at least one risk factor for heart disease, but just 16% were told by their doctor that they were at risk. mireya villarreal has more. >> reporter: when casey maurer was hit by a sudden pain in her chest and shortness of breath, she waited hours before deciding to go to the hospital. >> it felt like somebody had taken their knuckle and rapped me in the center of my chest. >> reporter: at 40 years old, did you think this is a heart attack? >> no, absolutely not. i didn't have, you know, the classic tv or movie heart attack symptoms. >> reporter: turns out, it was a heart attack. heart disease is the leading cause of death for women in the united states, and yet maurer's first cardiologist couldn't figure out how to make things better. >> he said, "i don't know what to do with you. most of my patients are
2:21 am
you're young and female, and i don't know how to help you." >> reporter: a new report by the women's heart alliance pinpoints a communications gap between women and their doctors. while most women got a routine physical, just 40% received a heart-risk assessment from their physicians, and almost half said they canceled or postponed a doctor's visit until they lost a few pounds. >> and that's a very dangerous thing. >> reporter: dr. holly andersen directs education and outreach at new york's ronald o. perelman heart institute. >> women all too often wait, if they think there's a problem with their heart. and all too often, they could die waiting, because sometimes the first symptom of heart disease is sudden death, and that's why prevention is so important. >> reporter: maurer now takes prevention to heart, focusing on sleep, healthy eating, and exercise. she's lost more than 50 pounds, and has gone on to run three marathons. this new report also identified a knowledge gap when it comes to heart disease in women.
2:22 am

this is the cbs overnight news. >> the long awaited senate plan to replace and repeal act landed with a thud. it was crafted in secret and senate majority leader mitch mcconnell said to get it past in a week but at least others won't vote for it as written. >> within hours the bill went from being a secret to a lightning rod. four showing their opposition.
2:31 am
>> we cannot support the current bill. we're open to negotiation but we want the bill to look more like a repeal. >> the 142-page bill eliminates obamacare's insurance mandates and its new taxes on the wealthy. but it retains a good chunk of obamacare's tax credits to help lower income americans buy insurance. >> i'm going to go back and read the bill. >> reporter: many senate republicans said that's an improvement on the house version, which president trump recently described as mean. south carolina's lindsay graham: >> it leaves pre-existing illnesses alone, so you'll never be denied coverage because you're sick. that's a pretty good place to start. i have to run it by south carolina and see how it will fix us on the medicaid side. >> reporter: the senate bill would roll back obamacare's expansion of medicaid. >> no cuts to medicaid! >> reporter: that drew dozens of disabled protesters to senate leader mitch mcconnell's office today, and it's a sticking point for several moderate republicans.

>> after keeping the country guessing for more than a month president trump said he did not keep recorded conversations with he and then-f.b.i. director james comey. today, we got the answer-- it was a bluff. and it all began with comey's claim, and the president's denial, that mr. trump had asked comey for a pledge of loyalty. julianna goldman is at the white house. >> reporter: president trump returned to where he started the controversy-- twitter, writing, "i have no idea whether there are tapes or recordings of my conversations with james comey, but i did not make, and do not have, any such recordings." his admission came nearly six weeks after he tweeted fired f.b.i. director james comey "better hope that there are no tapes of our conversations before he starts leaking to the press!" >> lordy, i hope there are tapes. >> reporter: the president's tweet set off a chain reaction. comey told congress it led him to leak memos he wrote about his conversations with the president. >> because i thought that might prompt the appointment of a special counsel, so i asked a close friend of mine to do it. >> reporter: comey's gamble worked.

this is the "cbs evening news." does the trump white house have a nixon style recording system? for 41 days, the president kept us guessing after putting out a tweet that suggested he might be recording conversations, or at least those he had with then-f.b.i. director james comey. now we have the answer. it was a bluff. and it all began with comey's claim, and the president's denial, that mr. trump had asked comey for a pledge of loyalty. julianna goldman is at the white house. >> reporter: president trump returned to where he started the controversy-- twitter, writing, "i have no idea whether there are tapes or recordings of my conversations with james comey, but i did not make, and do not have, any such recordings." his admission came nearly six weeks after he tweeted fired f.b.i. director james comey "better hope that there are no tapes of our conversations before he starts lea t
3:02 am
>> lordy, i hope there are tapes. >> reporter: the president's tweet set off a chain reaction. comey told congress it led him to leak memos he wrote about his conversations with the president. >> because i thought that might prompt the appointment of a special counsel, so i asked a close friend of mine to do it. >> reporter: comey's gamble worked. now special counsel robert mueller is heading the russia investigation, which likely includes whether the president obstructed justice by interfering in the probe. >> well, you're going to be very disappointed when you hear the answer. don't worry. >> reporter: president trump and his team stonewalled reporters and members of congress for weeks over whether any recordings existed. >> so when he's ready to make that announcement, i'll let you know. >> well, i'll tell you about that maybe sometime in the very near future. >> he's not waiting for anything. when he's ready to discuss it further, he will. >> reporter: at today's white house briefing, where cameras were not allowed, spokeswoman sarah huckabee sanders said today's tweet was extremely clear but still did not explain why he mentioned the tapes in the first place. >> did the president intend to threaten james comey. >> not that i'm e

they have everything going. and you know what? all we do is win, win, win. >> reporter: and he continued on twitter this morning. "former homeland security adviser jeh johnson is latest top intelligence official to state there was no grand scheme between trump and russia." johnson, who left d.h.s. in january, told investigators he was only aware of what had been discussed publicly. since then, the investigation has expanded, and today, cbs news confirmed congressional investigators are interested in whether trump campaign associates obtained information from hacked voter databases. michael bahar was a democratic staffer on the house intelligence committee. >> if stolen data was used, then there's going to be a question of how it was used, how it was obtained, and with what level of knowledge did people use it. >> we have evidence of 21 states. >> reporter: just yesterday, a department of homeland security official said russian hackers targeted 21 state voter
3:05 am
today, sources told cbs news, nearly twice that many showed evidence of a breach. president trump zeroed in on the hacking in another morning tweet. "it all took place during the obama administration. why didn't they stop them?" congress pressed johnson on that yesterday, too. he said the democratic national committee, whose computer network was compromised, declined his agency's help. >> in retrospect, it would be easy for me to say that i should have bought a sleeping bag and camped out in front of d.n.c. in late summer, with the benefit of hindsight. >> reporter: in a statement today, the d.n.c. said that it was working with the f.b.i. long before homeland security reached out. anthony, complicating all of this is a record of denials by trump campaign officials that they were in contact with the russians, followed by evidence that, in fact, some of them were. >> mason: jeff pegues, thanks, jeff. the airport attack in flint,

michigan, yesterday, could have been much worse. the f.b.i. said today amor ftouhi tried to buy a gun recently, but was turned down because he is not from the u.s. ftouhi who lives in canada is accused of stabbing a police lieutenant in the neck while shouting, "god is great" in arabic. the officer is in stable condition. investigators do not believe ftouhi is part of a wider terror network. cindy lost tropical storm status today but is still plenty dangerous, it rumbled across the deep south bringing heavy rain, strong winds and at least one tornado. david now is tracking cindy. >> in fairfield, alabama, the siren sounded as the twister touched down near downtown birmingham, it left some bottles untouched on a store room shelf.
