or the flag, there would be a fine from the league against the team. >> reporter: n.f.l. commissioner roger goodell announced a new "no kneeling" policy that states during the anthem, all players on the field must stand or their team can be fined, which can then be passed on to players. those not wanting to stand, can remain in the locker room. following the lead of quarterback colin kaepernick, n.f.l. players began to kneel during the anthem to protest police brutality and racism in america. >> wouldn't you love to see one of these n.f.l. owners, when somebody disrespects our flag, to say, "get that son of a bitch off the field right now. out, he's fired!" >> reporter: president trump consistently railed against the league and its players. today, vice president pence tweeted out an article about the new policy with #winning. a cbs news poll last september showed a majority of americans disapproved of kneeling during the anthem.

today, some players, like dallas cowboys quarterback dak prescott, welcomed the new policy. >> i'm glad they came to an agreement, some form or another. i'll be out there standing. >> reporter: but the players' union complained it was not part of the process. linebacker sam acho is the player rep for the chicago bears. >> as a union what do we do? how will we respond? but to be honest, i think a lot of players are happy about the conversations that are happening, so the protests served their purpose. >> reporter: arizona cardinals president mike bidwell spoke for the majority of team owners. >> look forward to getting the focus back on football and getting back to football in 2018. >> reporter: as for the tv ratings, football lost 9% of its audience last year. but n.f.l. games still accounted for 37 of the year's top 50 broadcasts. jeff, that's nearly three- quarters of the most-watched programs on tv. >> glor: jim axelrod, thank you.

we move now to breaking news now tonight from milwaukee. police have just released body- cam video of an altercation officers had with a member of the milwaukee bucks' basketball team. the city's mayor apologized ahead of its release. demarco morgan is there. >> reporter: the video shows a steadily escalating incident. at 2:00 a.m. during what milwaukee police call a routine business check, officers saw sterling brown's car parked across two handicapped spotsat this wallgreen's parking lot. at no points does brown appear to be threatening to the officers before he was tased. new chief alfonzo morales responsibilitied to the video. >> our department conducted an investigation into the incident, which reveals members acted inappropriately, and those members were recently disciplined. >> reporter: brown, a milwaukee bucks rookie, was briefly jailed but never charged with a crime. hours later, he played in an n.b.a. game with visible bruises to his face. after the game, he wouldn't go into detail about what happened.

>> it's a personal issue i'm dealing with right now. it's being handled. i appreciate if you all respect that right now. >> reporter: the milwaukee police department, which has made leadership changes in the months since brown's arrest, has had a strained relationship with the city's african american community. in 2016, riots broke out after officers shot and killed civil smith who police said fled from a traffic stop. police are bracing for what could be a strong reaction and response from its community. sterling brown released a statement flew threw twitter saying it should not have happened. he said he plans to take legal action against the milwaukee police department. jeff. >> glor: okay, demarco in milwaukee, thank you very much. thank you very much. hawaii's volcano emergency enters its fourth week tomorrow with the possibility of a major eruption at any moment. explosive bursts of lava, steam, and ash continue tonight as homes and a geothermal electrical plant are threatened. mark strassmann is on the big

island. >> reporter: this is leilani estates, overwhelmed by a river of molten misery. lava has burned and buried more than a dozen homes here. 1700 people fled. some returned to broken homes and hearts. imagine this giant crack running under your house. active fissures push out new lava every day. most of it flows into the pacific ocean, away from people. but some lava menaced this geothermal plant. workers stabilized 11 wells to prevent the release of uncontrolled toxic gases. officials now call the plant essentially safe, but many residents remain skeptical. >> i feel we were lied to. we were told things were taken care of, and then we find out, no, they were not taken care of. >> reporter: and one of the world's most active volcanoes shows no sign of quieting down. u.s.g.s. geologist steve brantley: >> based on the geologic

history of the volcano, the fissure activity could actually become a little bit larger. >> reporter: this is the northeast edge of leilani estates. behind me, you see one of four active fissures here pumping nonstop and creating an enormous lake of lava in the middle. the heat on my back is intense. jeff, one more thing-- that geothermal plant that has been such a concern here is a half mile in that direction. >> glor: wow! it looks like a scene out of a movie. it is not. mark strassmann, again for us from hawaii. thank you. we move now to a mystery developing in china. a u.s. government employee may have been the victim of a sonic attack, much like the attacks on american diplomats in cuba. it comes at a very sensitive time as the chinese bulk up their military in the south china sea. david martin has details on this. >> reporter: an american working at the u.s. consulate in guangzhou, had to be sent home in april after feeling abnormal sensations of sound and pressure over a period of months.

last week, medical tests concluded his symptoms matched those of mild traumatic brain injury. secretary of state mike pompeo called it a serious medical incident, and explained why. >> the medical indications are very similar and are entirely consistent with the medical indications that have taken place to americans working in cuba. >> reporter: last year, more than 20 americans at the u.s. embassy in havana suffered ailments, including hearing loss and nausea, after being exposed to this high-pitched sound. one theory is that it was a surveillance device directed by local security forces against americans suspected of working for u.s. intelligence. this afternoon, pompeo met with china's foreign minister, who said it is investigating and hasn't found anybody who could have been responsible for the sonic attacks. pompeo said the u.s. is conducting its own investigation. >> we have medical teams that

are moving to be on the ground there. we are-- we are working to figure out what took place, both in havana, and now in china. >> reporter: the u.s. embassy in all five consulates in china have held town hall meetings to give employees a chance to ask questions about the threat posed by sonic attacks. jeff. >> glor: david martin at the pentagon. david, thanks. secretary pompeo told congress today he believes the historic summit between president trump and north korea's kim jong-un will proceed on june 12. pompeo said the u.s. has made no concessions, and will insist on a rapid dismantling of a nuclear program, though the north has said it will resist that. the north koreans say they'll begin taking apart their main nuclear test site later this week. ben tracy is on his way to the site to continue his reporting. he is the only u.s. broadcast correspondent inside north korea. >> reporter: so our trip to the nuclear testing site was delayed a bit because of heavy rain in

north korea, so we have been here in wonsan, which is a city on the country's east coast, and as you can see, it's absolutely stunning. and north korea is hoping to turn this into an international tourist destination. they're building massive resorts up and down this beach hoping that tourists from nearby south korea, from china, and eventually from all over the world, will come here. because up until now, wonsan has been the place where north korea has launched many of its missiles, more than 40 of them. so a lot of the video you've seen of north korea's missile launches, those are taken place here in wonsan. so they are really trying to reinvent what this is known for and hoping that in the future tourists will want to come to north korea. jeff. >> glor: ben tracy in wonsan, north korea, tonight. president trump's son-in-law and senior adviser jared kushner has had his security clearance restored. kushner's permission to view top-secret information was revoked in february after white house chief of staff john kelly clamped down on temporary security clearances. kushner's lawyer said today

that kushner has now completed the f.b.i. background process. the president today vowed to take new action to stop ms-13, a violent street gang made up primarily of central american immigrants. he traveled to long island, where the gang has a foothold, and also pushed for immigration reform. here's michelle miller. >> they said they're people. they're not people. these are animals. >> reporter: at a roundtable with law enforcement and victims' families, president trump once again cited ms-13's brutal crimes to call for stricter immigration laws and border security. >> ms-13 lives by the motto "kill, rape, and control." that's actually their motto. >> reporter: ms-13 started in los angeles in the 1980s and now has more than 10,000 members in at least 40 states and the district of columbia. since mr. trump has taken office, immigration and customs enforcement has cracked down on

ms-13 gang members across the country. last year, 796 members were arrested, and 83% increase over 2016. the gang has been responsible for more than a dozen deaths on long island in the last two years, some involving teenagers. nassau county police commissioner patrick ryder. ms-13 has been described as the most violent in this country. would you agree with that assessment? >> without a doubt, what we've seen here, from the six homicides we had last year, they were committed by very violent acts with machetes, shooting both in the face and the back of the head, so the bodies can't be identified. >> reporter: robert mickens' daughter, nisa, was savagely murdered two years ago, one day before her 16th birthday. >> it's very sickening to know that they-- they have no problem killing whoever they want. >> reporter: four victims of ms- 13 were found in secluded wooded

areas just like this, including one in this very park. and, jeff, we should note that the nassau county police say it is their renewed efforts that have taken some 100 gang members off the streets. >> glor: michelle miller from long island tonight. michelle, thank you. democratic women had a big night tuesday in the southern primaries. in georgia, stacey abrams became the first african american woman to be nominated for governor by a major party. in kentucky, former marine pilot amy mcgrath won a hard-fought primary for a congressional seat. and in texas, former dallas county sheriff lupe valdez became the state's first openly gay and latina gubernatorial nominee from a major party. for more on all of this, let's bring in ed o'keefe on the set here on the "cbs evening news" for the first time. welcome. what does all of this mean? >> reporter: three things stick out for us. number one, we're seeing a record number of women seeking political office this year. when it comes to congressional races, more than 300 from both parties have registered to run.

that's a modern history high, if you will. we're also seeing a large number of military veterans running across the country, and first- time political candidates, probably the best example of that is amy mcgrath, who you mentioned there. she hit it big last year with a viral ad that had her recounting when she was a young girl and was told that she wouldn't face combat. she ran 89 combat missions and now she's a democratic congressional candidate. >> glor: yeah, this ad got a lot of attention. the stacey abrams win last night also got a lot of attention. in your estimation, what does her victory mean? >> reporter: well, it's going to test a theory that she has. there are 800,000 unregistered women and minority voters in georgia. she would like to get as many them registered as possible, combine them with registered democrats in the state and she if she can make a run for it. but it will be an uphill climb. >> glor: she has a big uphill climb. a lot of people watching. ed, good to have you here. coming up on the "cbs evening news" tonight. new concerns about women and lung cancer, even for

>> glor: lung cancer has long been associated largely with men, but a new study shows a troubling trend among women, even among those who do not smoke. it's estimated 200,000 americans will be diagnosed with lung cancer this year. for more on all of this we will turn to dr. tara narula. doctor, what are we learning tonight? >> reporter: you said it, historically, this was a disease we thought we saw more often in men. but in fact we've seen a change in this trend, and this research adds weight to that evidence. we know that the incidents of lung cancer has declined for both men and women but it has dropped in a steeper way, more- pronounced way for men. so now we are seeing more cases an mung cancer in young women ese arwomen born after the mid-1960s, women who are white, women who are hispanic. but did does not seem to be related to changes, or differences in smoking behavior. >> glor: interesting and concerning. what else beyond smoking explains this potentially?

>> reporter: that's the big there are a lot of hypotheses. it may be women metabolize or break down tobacco differently. maybe they're more prone to certain types of genetic mutations. many as women we don't repair those mutations as well. hormonal influences may exist, so estrogen and progesterone may affect the development of tumors, as well as growth factors. and maybe there are environmental influences. but the bottom line here is just because we call it lung cancer-- and we're learning this with heart disease it's biology and the way it presents in women is different than men. and we need more research to fund specific studies. >> glor: other than don't smoke, what's the take-home tonight? >> reporter: that is the big one. 80% of lung cancer is from smoking. and we know that 6% of high school girls smoke. 12% of women in this country still smoke. we need to do better at that. >> glor: tara, thank you. coming up, a man's frightening attack with a sledgehammer. coming up, a man's frightening attack with a sledgehammer. pres. lyrica may cause serious allergic reactions
