justice correspondent jeff pegues is following this. jeff? >> reporter: scott, the meeting in the oval office occurred last wednesday. president trump spoke with both a russian foreign minister, sergei lavrov, and russian ambassador sergey kislyak. according to the "washington post," the president trump went off script and began describing details about an islamic state terrorist threat related to the use of laptop computers on aircraft. the information the president shared reportedly came from a u.s. ally and was considered so sensitive that it had not been shared with other countries. national security adviser h.r. mcmaster told the "washington post," "the president and the foreign minister revealed common threats to include threats to aviation." "at no time," mcmaster says, "were any intelligence discussed and no military operations were disclosed that were not already known publicly." during the campaign you may recall that candidate trump was critical of hilly

the f.b.i. said mishandled classified information on her private e-mail server. back in july, mr. trump tweeted this: "crooked hillary clinton and her team were extremely careless in their handling of very sensitive, highly classified information. not fit." you may also remember that name, sergey kislyak. he was in that meeting at the white house with the president, who was also, scott, a central figure in the f.b.i. investigation into whether trump campaign representatives were coordinating with the russians. >> pelley: jeff pegues for us. jeff, with more on this we're going to turn to michael morell, a cbs news national security figure and a former number two at the c.i.a. michael, how serious is this? how could it happen? >> scott, i think this is highly damaging for two reasons. first, the russians will undoubtedly try to figure out the source or the method of this

is not also collecting on their activities in syria, and in trying to do that, they could well disrupt the source. i think the second damage is that third countries who provide the united states with intelligence information will now have pause to do so. if the united states is sharing such information with the russians without their permission. so highly damaging. how could it happen, scott? i think this is a president who does not stick to the script. when presidents meet with foreign officials, they are given talking points. they are told, here's what to say on an issue. here's what not to say. the president doesn't seem to stick to the script. >> pelley: the national security adviser today said that no methods or sources were compromised in what the president had to say. does that make you feel any better? >> not a lot better. certainly it would have been more damaging had he done so. but not sharing that sourcing method does not make any better the problems that i

>> pelley: michael morell, former number two at the c.i.a., thank you very much. now, another story regarding the trump administration today has been whether the president is recording private conversations at the white house. the president raised the issue in a tweet storm last week, and major garrett is following this. >> reporter: the white house will not confirm or deny president trump tape records his conversations. press secretary sean spicer has only one thing to say. >> i made it clear what the president's position is on that issue. >> reporter: but the president has made nothing clear, leaving only this tweet warning now-fired f.b.i. director james comey that tapes might exist of their conversation. >> that i can't talk about. i won't talk about that. >> reporter: spicer responded to several reporters' questions this way today. >> i think president made it clear what his position. is i understand that because that's what the president's position is. >> reporter: and friday? >> the president has nothing further to add on that. as i said for the t

there is nothing further to add on that. >> reporter: spicer's stonewalling comes amid report of a west wing shake-up that could see him and communications director mike dubke replaced. one senior official told cbs news, "everyone knows it's coming. the question is: now or august? things can't keep going the way they are." president trump is upset about the slow pace of his agenda in congress. also in jeopardy, chief of staff reince priebus, councilor kellyanne conway, chief strategist steve bannon, and white house council don mcgahn. amid this intrigue, the search continues for a new f.b.i. director. the president has not decided whether he will personally interview the finalists, but scott said today the process is moving rapidly. white house officials expect an announcement before friday. >> pelley: major garrett at the white house. in another big story tonight, that cyber attack

computers in every corner of the world began to slow today. it turns out that a pair of engineers, one of them an american, figured out a way to stall the attack for just a few dollars. charlie d'agata begins our coverage. >> reporter: from china's main oil company to a hospital in indonesia to japan's nissan car company, the ransomware attack ricocheted around the world again today as people went back to work. and today asia bore the bankrupt of the attacks. chinese university students were even locked out from their term papers. elsewhere, germany's railroads were hit, france's reynaud car factory had to close, businesses in australia, even mongolia were also hit. europoll's steven wilson called the scale of the attack unprecedented. >> in excess of 130 countries are affected and beyond 200,000 individualti

office i guess. >> reporter: the head of you poll said its investigators are working closely with f.b.i. to identify the culprit, scott, in at least two prominent cyber security firm, including one in the u.s., say they're looking into technical clues that north korea may be behind the attack. >> pelley: charlie d'agata in our london newsroom. charlie, thanks. so what does microsoft have to say? john blackstone picks up the story. >> reporter: at microsoft's campus near seattle, security experts have known for months about the software vulnerability that made this attack possible. in march microsoft released a fix few users of newer versions of its operating system, but not a fix for the older versions. avi rubin teaches computer science at johns hopkins. >> microsoft hasn't been supporting systems like windows xp. this attack took advantage of that. so microsoft issued an emergency patch this past weekend. r

attacked in a blog post microsoft president brad smith acknowledged the company has the first responsibility to address these issues. but went on to point a finger at the national security agency, which originally identified the software flaw then lost it when hackers broke into n.s.a. computers. an equivalent scenario with conventional weapons would be the u.s. military having some of its tomahawk missiles stolen. >> i think the n.s.a. should probably err on the side of disclosure. >> reporter: in seattle, karl koscher, computer security researcher at the university of washington, works to defend against hackers and thinks the n.s.a. could have done more to prevent this attack. >> they could possibly figure out when these vulnerabilities are going to be rediscovered or leaked and alert the vendors before it gets out, but it doesn't seem like that happened in this case. >> reporter: microsoft s i

engineers working to keep its software safe, but as this incident shows, scott, among the hackers working to find a way in are america's own spy agencies. >> pelley: john blackstone, thanks. today the state department said it had evidence that syria's assad regime has carried out mass executions outside damascus. it released images that according to the u.s. show a crematorium. assad's forces have been pummeling the opposition in damascus and in the city of homes, but in a deal, it allowed hundreds to board buses out. seth doane was there. >> reporter: for years they waged war against the regime of syrian president bashar al assad, but tonight these opposition fighters and their families lined up to leave, defeated. nearly 400 fighters, some with weapons still in hand, had boarded buses by sunset.

departure under the watchful eye of their russian allies, all part of the deal to relocate the opposition to northern syria. what are you thinking about right now as you get on the bus? the rebel fighters did not want the talk to us, but in a video they shot, this young man explained "it feels like a stab in the heart leaving home, but god willing i'll come back one day trump fan." holmes' governor hom' talal al barazi was difficult. "it's a truce for the time being," he said, but he warns the government would fight them again in the future if he had to. assad's forces used several different tactics to take back territory from opposition fighters. one has been to destroy entire neighborhoods. and so the shelling continues on the outskirts of the capital damascus.

deal there, with thousands leaving. assad's forces have destroyed cities, killed and stavered their enemies, and now, scott, these rebel evacuations are bringing assad closer to a symbolic victory, solidifying control over syria's big cities. >> pelley: seth doane inside syria for us tonight. thanks. next on the "cbs evening news," a new missile test increases the threat from north korea, and later, the family of a penn state fraternity pledge calls his hazing death murder. trintellix may help you take a step forward in improving your depression.

represents a significant advance for kim jong un and his nuclear weapons program. after three failures, it was first successful test of an intermediate-range missile capable of reaching the'd of guam where the u.s. has a major bomber base. it flew for 30 minutes, longer than any previous north korean test. most importantly, u.s. officials say it appears to have been a test of a re-entry vehicle, a key technology north korea must master before it can develop an intercontinental ballistic missile capable of striking the united states' mainland with a nuclear weapon. a test missile flew 1,200 mice into space. so as the re-entry vehicle came back into earth, it encountered extreme heat and buffeting when it hit the atmosphere. the technological challenge is to withstand the heat and buffeting without become knocked off course. it landed 60 miles south of the russian port of vladivostock. north korea claimed the missile was capable

tonight we start off script with breaking news. remember last week's controversial meeting with the foreign minister of russia in the oval office? another one where only russian media was allowed to attend? now the washington post is reporting that during that very same meeting president donald trump revealed highly classified information to the russians, current and former u.s. officials tell the washington post the disclosures jeopardize a critical source of intelligence on isis. information considered so sensitive it wasn't even shared with allies and was tightly restricted within the u.s. government. stephanie ramirez is here now with more on this story which is blowing up all over the internet. >> bruce, this is now the most read article from the washington post and this story is really stunning because of the detail in this leak. now, you can argue that the president is the president. he
