the women we spoke with. >> they listened to it. they quoted it, and that was reviewed by the secretary of the air force's i.g. in the investigation. so the pentagon, the pentagon had access to that information. >> reporter: the domestic violence survivors accuse the air force of mounting a purposeful public relations cover-up. >> why would the secretary of the air force want to cover this up? >> there's a lot of evidence. there was enough evidence that for any reasonable prosecutor to look at that could have said, i think this should go forward to a court martial. they didn't want to admit they had messed up. >> reporter: two years ago, a cbs news investigation exposed dangerous gaps in how the military handles cases of domestic violence. >> he kicked me in the stomach, and i flew off the bed into the closet doors. >> there's no doubt in my mind he was going to kill me. >> reporter: cbs news spoke with nearly 40 survivors, including erica and leah. >> we have this update to our investigation. >> reporter: our reports prompted air force secretary frank kendall to order an

inspector general review of the investigation and disciplinary actions associated with these cases. he also made personal assurances to the survivors as heard in this newly obtained recording. >> i have proof that the investigators didn't do their job. >> i don't doubt that, and we can look into that. >> reporter: more than two years later, the survivors say they're still waiting for justice. the inspector general review of their cases did not examine whether law enforcement conducted investigations correctly, but instead focused on the air force's support services. >> leaders should not be making promises that they can't fulfill or have no intention of fulfilling. >> reporter: only after our reporting, investigators reopened leah's case and uncovered four additional victims of her ex-partner, including one woman who had reported his behavior to the military a decade earlier. this new evidence, it dates back

to 2008? >> it does. >> what if the command had taken action then? >> then we'd have a different outcome with leah. maybe leah would never have even met him. >> what do your clients want to see happen? >> ideally they would like to see a court martial. unfortunately in some of the cases, in leah's case and erica's case, that can't happen because the statute of limitations has passed. >> reporter: leah raised concerns in an email to secretary kendall last fall that time was running out to bring charges in her case. he said a decision will be made before the statute of limitations expires. thompson says that didn't happen. >> do you think the military was stalling? >> yes and no. they blew past the statute of limitations that they knew existed. it's a lot to say they did it intentionally, but there's also a lot of evidence that they knew what the repercussions were going to be, and maybe they did so intentionally. >> reporter: but it wasn't too late in emily brarly's case. >> did the military take steps

to keep you safe? >> they did not, no. they promoted him. >> reporter: just last month, five years after reporting her abuse, the air force did file charges against emily's alleged abuser. leah and erica will never see charges in their cases. one of their alleged abusers retired honorably. the other remains in the service. >> why do these cases matter? >> individuals who commit domestic violence, who abuse the most intimate relationship, those are individuals that you cannot trust. those are individuals that simply should not be in the service. >> with the options for justice now limits, the survivors we spoke with are taking legal action against the military in hopes of financial compensation. in a statement to cbs news, air force secretary frank kendall said he takes the issue of domestic violence very seriously, but he couldn't comment on the specific cases. he also added that after the department examined its

policies, practices, and support mechanisms, it is implementing a series of changes to reinforce trust with survivors, including hiring more advocates to support victims of domestic abuse. we'll stay on this story. a pilot who staged a plane crash for a viral video is sent to prison. we've got those details next.

cbs news got a look at a new joint bulletin that warns groups like al qaeda and isis will likely use the israel-hamas war to increase calls for violence in the u.s. this holiday season. this bulletin right here says that the most likely primary targets could include churches, synagogues, and members of the jewish community. now, today the fbi director was telling senators that the u.s. is facing the highest risk of attack in years, that there are blinking lights everywhere, and warning terrorists will exploit the southern border. the head of the fbi says the bureau is working to identify and disrupt these potential attacks with foreign terrorist groups openly calling for strikes against americans. he also said that the number of threats are a whole other level since the october 7th attack on israel. cbs's catherine herridge has reviewed this new bulletin. she's got the new details. good evening, catherine. >> good evening, norah. the intelligence chatter is almost always elevated during the holidays, but this year government analysts expect heightened rhetoric with

terrorist groups and their media outlets latching on to the conflict. with the israeli military bearing down on southern gaza and hanukkah only days away, the new intelligence report reviewed by cbs news warns of increased threats from foreign terrorist groups and mirrors fbi director christopher wray's testimony today on capitol hill. >> blinking red lights analogy about 9/11, all the lights were blinking red before 9/11, would you say that there's multiple blinking red lights out there? >> i see blinking lights everywhere i turn. >> reporter: in stark language, the intelligence report predicts isis and al qaeda will likely use the middle east conflict to increase calls for violence in the u.s. this holiday season compared to prior years as new details emerge about an alleged plot to attack las vegas. >> we charged the suspect with multiple felonies to include terroristic threats. >> reporter: authorities arrested a 16-year-old suspect who allegedly wrote on social media about launching a lone wolf attack in support of isis.

a homemade flag and other articles allegedly recovered along with bomb parts. on capitol hill, a stark warning from the fbi chief. >> i've never seen a time where all the threats or so many of the threats are all elevated all at exactly the same time. >> reporter: with the spike in threats as the war began, the intelligence report warns civilian casualties in gaza, whether real, perceived, or falsified, or the increased presence of u.s. military forces in direct support of israel will likely be exploited by terrorist groups. wray said there's nothing to indicate hamas has the intent or capability to conduct operations inside the u.s., but the bureau has not discounted the possibility, norah. >> they're worried about these lone wolves. catherine herridge, thank you. turning overseas to the war in gaza, israeli ground forces rolled into the heart of southern gaza's largest city, khan younis today, following a night of heavy air strikes. hundreds of thousands of people have been told to evacuate with

some of their children are trapped underground as well. more than 130 hostages are still held captive in hamas' tunnels and around gaza, including eight americans like 23-year-old hersh goldberg-polin. with the cease-fire now in shambles, his parents fear what's next. >> what does that do to your hope for your son? >> we're, of course, worried not just about him. if hersh somehow, somewhere can hear this, just know we love you. stay strong. survive. we're coming. >> reporter: tonight the government spoke with the hostages' families, who are demanding israel resume negotiations immediately. hersh's father told cbs news -- >> i don't know that the cabinet needed to have a flame lit under them to get these hostages out. but if they did, it happened today. >> reporter: israelis are also lighting a flame under the international community after women's advocates flooded the u.n. over accusations that hamas has used rape as a weapon of

war. >> where the hell are you? i expect all civilized leaders, governments, nations to speak up against this atrocity. >> reporter: today president biden did just that. speaking at a campaign event, he said the world cannot look away at what's going on. it's on all of us to forcefully condemn the sexual violence of hamas terrorists without equivocation. norah. >> chris livesay in jerusalem, thank you. the war in gaza has led to a dramatic rise in hate-fueled incidents here at home, many of them on college campuses. the presidents of harvard, mit, and the university of pennsylvania were grilled before the house education committee about their response to an increase in anti-semitism on campus. harvard university president claudine gay faced tough questions about the line between free speech and hateful conduct. >> we have reiterated that speech that incites violence, threatens safety, or violates

day or two, and the new hip is supposed to last at least 20 years. but an investigation by cbs news and kff health news found one particular hip system has broken in hundreds of people, requiring painful surgeries. anna werner reports. >> reporter: 56-year-old brad little works as a middle school p.e. teacher, teaching the healthy habits he subscribed to throughout his life. >> i wanted to be an example of physical fitness, so i have always done a good job of staying active. >> reporter: but in his mid-30s, he says, he developed arthritis in his right hip, and when he saw the doctor -- >> he told me right away if it's hurting you too bad, it's going to be a time you're going to have to get a hip replacement. >> reporter: hip replacement surgery has been success 234ri performed for decades and involves removing deteriorating hip bones and implanting metal and plastic parts, typically a ball and cup which connect to a stem that fits inside the thy bone. but little says his surgeon told him he'd be using a more recently developed type of artifical hip called the

pro-femur, made of titanium. >> he said this was something that was for people just like myself who are young, athletic. >> reporter: what made the pro-people ur different? it added a detachable neck section between the ball and stem, made in different sizes to try to achieve a custom fit. and manufacture wright medical marketed the product for active people. they even hired tennis player jimmy connors as a spokesperson for their hip system. he was quoted on this company website saying his new hip has given me back my quality of life. it's allowed me to do anything i did before. that helped reassure little. in 2007, he had the srgery on his right hip. >> the way i felt was just like i was 20 years old again. i mean it was -- it was wonderful. >> reporter: he had the same surgery on his left hip a couple years later, and everything seemed fine, he says, until september 2017 as he walked down the school hallway. >> turned the corner to head to the locker room, and i felt this click. the next thing i knew, i'm on the floor, laying down on the

ground. >> reporter: at the hospita, x-rays showed the pro-femur titanium neck in his right hip had broken, snabed in two. >> when they showed you the x-ray, what did you think? >> well, i thought, how could this be? >> reporter: and fixing it meant splitting his leg bone down the middle to get the metal stem out of the bone. >> there's no way around the fact that there's a failed or broken implant in that patient's thigh. we have to remove it. >> reporter: have lee reuben is an orthopedic surgeon and prosthetic hip expert at yale university. >> you're basically talking about cutting somebody's leg bone in half. >> we have to open the bone, yes. >> reporter: little's wife, kristen, cared for him during his six-month-long recovery. >> it's really devastating to watch your -- the person you love more than anything in your life go through all of that. >> reporter: our cbs news and kff health news investigation found those fractures have happened to hundreds of people. reports submitted to the fda describe patients' hips breaking

during routine activities, hiking, golfing, mowing the lawn, even simply leaning over to pick up a key. and in a court hearing in 2018, a wright medical attorney admitted the company was aware of more than 760 fractures of pro-femur necks. but she defended the products, telling the court, a device fracture does not mean it is defective. devices fracture all the time. but that's not what the company told doctors. in prior promotional materials, wright medical guaranteed the pro-femur's structural reliability. dr. reuben showed us why in many cases that promise and the product didn't hold up. >> there's more stress on what we call the lateral side, the outside of the neck. >> mm-hmm. >> that is where the fatigue fractures or the cracks would begin to the point where it snapped in half and broke. it snaps just like that. >> that's as long as it takes. >> one second. >> reporter: and patients like new hampshire's mark feld, a former runner who had both his pro-femur implants break, are

still angry. >> no concern for the ultimate patient. it's just, let's make these parts. let's get them into people's bodies. we've got the best product, blah, blah, blah. they didn't have the best product, and they didn't put the best product in my body. >> reporter: in 2020, 15 years after that product hit the market, the company that bought the pro-femur brand from wright medical voluntarily recalled some of those titanium necks. but that didn't help patients still living with the devices, like brad little. in 2021, he was coaching students on this tennis court when his left hip implant also broke, meaning another six-month recovery. >> yeah, i don't think i can ever forgive them honestly for what they've put us through as a couple, you know. shame on them. >> that was anna werner >> that was anna werner reporting, and we'll have more ♪♪ vicks vapostick provides soothing, non-medicated vicks vapors. easy to apply for the whole family.

we want to begin tonight with breaking news about america's national security and the warnings from the fbi to local, state, and federal law enforcement about the possibility of terror attacks right here in the homeland. cbs news got a look at a new joint bulletin that warns groups like al qaeda and isis will likely use the israel-hamas war to increase calls for violence in the u.s. this holiday season. this bulletin right here says that the most likely primary targets could include churches, synagogues, and members of the jewish community. now, today the fbi director was telling senators that the u.s. is facing the highest risk of attack in years, that there are blinking lights everywhere, and warning terrorists will exploit the southern border. the head of the fbi says the bureau is working to identify and disrupt these potential attacks with foreign terrorist groups openly calling for strikes against americans. he also said that the number of threats are a whole other level since the october 7th attack on israel.

cbs's catherine herridge has reviewed this new bulletin. she's got the new details. good evening, catherine. >> good evening, norah. the intelligence chatter is almost always elevated during the holidays, but this year government analysts expect heightened rhetoric with terrorist groups and their media outlets latching onto the conflict. with the israeli military bearing down on southern gaza and hanukkah only days away, the new intelligence report reviewed by cbs news warns of increased threats from foreign terrorist groups and mirrors fbi director christopher wray's testimony today on capitol hill. >> blinking red lights analogy about 9/11, all the lights were blinking red before 9/11. would you say that there's multiple blinking red lights out there? >> i see blinking lights everywhere i turn. >> reporter: in stark language, the intelligence report predicts isis and al qaeda will likely use the middle east conflict to increase calls for violence in the u.s. this holiday season compared to prior years as new

details emerge about an alleged plot to attack las vegas. >> we charged the suspect with multiple felonies to include terroristic threats. >> reporter: authorities arrested a 16-year-old suspect who allegedly wrote on social media about launching a lone wolf attack in support of isis. a homemade flag and other articles allegedly recovered along with bomb parts. on capitol hill, a stark warning from the fbi chief. >> i've never seen a time where all the threats or so many of the threats are all elevated all at exactly the same time. >> reporter: with the spike in threats since the war began, the intelligence report warns civilian casualties in gaza, whether real, perceived, or falsified, or the increased presence of u.s. military forces in direct support of israel will likely be exploited by terrorist groups. wray said there's nothing to indicate hamas has the intent or capability to conduct operations inside the u.s., but the bureau has not discounted the possibility, norah. >> they're worried about these lone wolves. catherine herridge, thank you. turning overseas now to the

war in gaza, israeli ground forces rolled into the heart of southern gaza's largest city, khan younis today, following a night of heavy air strikes. hundreds of thousands of people have been told to evacuate with the idf warning of widespread house-to-house combat in the days ahead. cbs's chris livesay has the latest tonight from jerusalem. >> reporter: southern gaza, once relatively safer than the rest of the strip, no longer. paramedics flee nearby tank fire, saving who they can along the way. israeli forces say they are now in the heart of khan younis, a city they believe hosts many hamas leaders as well as hundreds of thousands of palestinians now left with vanishing options for safety. rushed to the hospital, these sisters breathe fresh air for the first time after being plucked from beneath the rubble after four days. "i want my mom," says lana

abousafi. "ouch, my arm." rescuers hurry to save this trapped boy as well but can only come up with his body. with the war now in its 60th day, israelis are shouting that some of their children are trapped underground as well. more than 130 hostages are still held captive in hamas' tunnels and around gaza, including eight americans like 23-year-old hersh goldberg-polin. with the cease-fire now in shambles, his parents fear what's next. >> what does that do to your hope for your son? >> we're, of course, worried not just about him. if hersh somehow, somewhere can hear this, just know we love you. stay strong. survive. we're coming. >> reporter: tonight the government spoke with the hostages' families, who are demanding israel resume negotiations immediately. hersh's father told cbs news --

>> i don't know that the cabinet needed to have a flame lit under them to get these hostages out. but if they did, it happened today. >> reporter: israelis are also lighting a flame under the international community after women's advocates flooded the u.n. over accusations that hamas has used rape as a weapon of war. >> where the hell are you? i expect all civilized leaders, governments, nations to speak up against this atrocity. >> reporter: today president biden did just that. speaking at a campaign event, he said the world cannot look away at what's going on. it's on all of us to forcefully condemn the sexual violence of hamas terrorists without equivocation. norah. >> chris livesay in jerusalem, thank you. the war in gaza has led to a dramatic rise in hate-fueled incidents here at home, many of them on college campuses. the presidents of harvard, mit, and the university of pennsylvania were grilled before the house education committee about their response to an increase in anti-semitism on

campus. harvard university president claudine gay faced tough questions about the line between free speech and hateful conduct. >> we have reiterated that speech that incites violence, threatens safety, or violates harvard's policies against bullying and harassment is unacceptable. we have made it clear that any behaviors that disrupt our teaching and research efforts will not be tolerated. >> the school presidents say they are increasing security and providing ad

deceased. human remains have been located at the scene. >> reporter: across the street, business owner yen nguyen captured the blast on her nail salon's security camera. >> you were scared? >> yeah, very scared. very scared. >> reporter: neighbors were evacuated, and at least ten homes were impacted, but there were no major injuries. tonight bomb technicians searched surrounding blocks for evidence. police are still sorting through a possible motive. now, yoo had previously contacted the fbi through phone calls, online tips, even letters, relaying what federal investigators called frauds he believed were perpetrated against him. norah. >> nicole sganga, thank you. turning now to the weather, flood alerts are posted tonight across much of washington and oregon. this video shows homes being flooded as a raging river overflowed in granite falls, washington. the pacific northwest is being hit with nearly two straight days of rain and rapid snowmelt caused by a dramatic warm-up in temperatures.

member of the air force in 2017, she turned over this audio recording. >> i'll knock your [ bleep ] front teeth out. so shut the [ bleep ] up, woman. >> reporter: military investigators also reviewed this body cam footage from a 911 call when police found bruises on her arms. >> how many times has this happened? >> this is like the fifth time. >> reporter: retired master sergeant erica johnson reported her abuse to the air force in 2018. she gave military prosecutors recorded phone calls with her alleged abuser, including this apparent admission. >> i didn't do anything to deserve that. you had no right to put your hands on me. >> hon, i know i screwed up that night. i know i did. >> reporter: did the air force hear those recordings? >> yes, twice. >> reporter: still, the military did not bring charges. lawyer carol thompson represents the women we spoke with.

>> they listened to it. they quoted it, and that was reviewed by the secretary of the air force's i.g. in the investigation. so the pentagon, the pentagon had access to that information. >> reporter: the domestic violence survivors accuse the air force of mounting a purposeful public relations cover-up. >> why would the secretary of the air force want to cover this up? >> there's a lot of evidence. there was enough evidence that for any reasonable prosecutor to look at that could have said, i think this should go forward to a court martial. they didn't want to admit they had messed up. >> reporter: two years ago, a cbs news investigation exposed dangerous gaps in how the military handles cases of domestic violence. >> he kicked me in the stomach, and i flew off the bed into the closet doors. >> there's no doubt in my mind he was going to kill me. >> reporter: cbs news spoke with nearly 40 survivors, including erica and leah. >> we have this update to our investigation. >> reporter: our reports prompted air force secretary frank kendall to order an

inspector general review of the investigation and disciplinary actions associated with these cases. he also made personal assurances to the survivors as heard in this newly obtained recording. >> i have proof that the investigators didn't do their job. >> i don't doubt that, and we can look into that. >> reporter: more than two years later, the survivors say they're still waiting for justice. the inspector general review of their cases did not examine whether law enforcement conducted investigations correctly, but instead focused on the air force's support services. >> leaders should not be making promises that they can't fulfill or have no intention of fulfilling. >> reporter: only after our reporting, investigators reopened leah's case and uncovered four additional victims of her ex-partner, including one woman who had reported his behavior to the military a decade earlier.

>> this new evidence, it dates back to 2008? >> it does. >> what if the command had taken action then? >> then we'd have a different outcome with leah. maybe leah would never have even met him. >> what do your clients want to see happen? >> ideally they would like to see a court martial. unfortunately in some of the cases, in leah's case and erica's case, that can't happen because the statute of limitations has passed. >> reporter: leah raised concerns in an email to secretary kendall last fall that time was running out to bring charges in her case. he said a decision will be made before the statute of limitations expires. thompson says that didn't happen. >> do you think the military was stalling? >> yes and no. they blew past the statute of limitations that they knew existed. it's a lot to say they did it intentionally, but there's also a lot of evidence that they knew what the repercussions were going to be, and maybe they did so intentionally. >> reporter: but it wasn't too late in emily brearley's case. >> did the military take steps to keep you safe?

>> they did not, no. they promoted him. >> reporter: just last month, five years after reporting her abuse, the air force did file charges against emily's alleged abuser. leah and erica will never see charges in their cases. one of their alleged abusers retired honorably. the other remains in the service. >> why do these cases matter? >> individuals who commit domestic violence, who abuse the most intimate relationship, those are individuals that you cannot trust. those are individuals that simply should not be in the service. >> with the options for justice now limited, the survivors we spoke with are taking legal action against the military in hopes of financial compensation. in a statement to cbs news, air force secretary frank kendall said he takes the issue of domestic violence very seriously, but he couldn't comment on the specific cases. he also added that after the department examined its

policies, practices, and support mechanisms, it is implementing a series of changes to reinforce trust with survivors, including hiring more advocates to support victims of domestic abuse. we'll stay on this story. a pilot who staged a plane crash for a viral video is sent to prison. we've got those details next. - [narrator] wounded warrior project helped me find the strength to go further than i ever thought possible. - [narrator] i was able to come outta my shell and really connect with others. - [narrator] so i can feel like part of a team, part of the community again. - [narrator] it's possible to live better. - [narrator] it's possible to have a voice and to be heard. - [narrator] to feel understood. - [narrator] to find peace. - because i've experienced firsthand that anything is possible.
