strikes on ships are retaliation for israeli strikes in gaza. but a coalition of world leaders, including the u.s. and the uk, they say these commercial vessels have nothing to do with the conflict. and it isn't just the houthis that have been targeting commerce in the region. just today a greek oil tanker that was on its way to turkey was seized by iran in the gulf of oman. and incidents like this are fueling fears, norah, that this conflict could escalate and eventually draw the u.s. into direct confrontation with iran. >> all right. nancy cordes with that breaking news out of the white house. thank you. all right. former president donald trump took time off the campaign trail today for closing arguments in his civil fraud trial in new york city, where he is accused of falsifying financial documents for a decade. cbs's robert costa is outside the courthouse. >> reporter: with his businesses in new york at risk and after a long day in court, former president donald trump arrived at one of his new york properties to speak to reporters. >> we have our best poll

"this is a fraud on me. what's happened here, sir, is a fraud on me," trump claimed. "you can't listen for more than one minute. this has been a persecution," he directed at engoron, prompting the judge to cut him off and tell trump's attorneys to "control your client."

launched a constant barrage of drone and missile attacks at ships in the red sea, delaying shipping globally. cbs's nancy cordes has the very latest now from the white house. good evening, nancy. what do we know? >> reporter: norah, these major strikes were carried out by the u.s. and uk jointly, and they were assisted by at least four other countries, including canada and australia. the targets were drone and missile launch sites in houthi-controlled yemen. this marks the first time the u.s. has struck yemen since the israel-hamas war began back in october. the u.s. has been warning these iran-backed houthis that it would hit back after 27 attacks on international shipping in the red sea since november. in fact, just on tuesday, the u.s. navy had to shoot down 21 houthi missiles and drones that were fired from yemen. those houthi missiles, by the way, are provided by iran. now, the houthis say their

strikes on ships are retaliation for israeli strikes in gaza. but a coalition of world leaders, including the u.s. and the uk, they say these commercial vessels have nothing to do with the conflict. and it isn't just the houthis that have been targeting commerce in the region. just today a greek oil tanker that was on its way to turkey was seized by iran in the gulf of oman. and incidents like this are fueling fears, norah, that this conflict could escalate and eventually draw the u.s. into direct confrontation with iran. >> all right. nancy cordes with that breaking news out of the white house. thank you. we are just four days away from the iowa caucuses, and there are a number of major stories that are of top concern to the american people and will impact the race for the white house, starting with the most important issue to voters, the economy. and we learned today inflation was up last month more than expected. the new data out today shows one of the biggest reasons is housing costs. so we're going to look at what that means ahead for your

wallet. plus the immigration crisis remains top of mind for voters as they make their voices heard in the 2024 election cycle. tonight we have an in-depth look at the strain on the classrooms as tens of thousands of migrants cross the border and their children enter public schools. and then the other big headline today, former president donald trump was not on the campaign trail but inside a courtroom. tonight his outburst at the prosecutor and the judge and what the outcome of that $370 million civil fraud trial could mean for his real estate empire. so let's begin with the economy. inflation jumped unexpectedly today, ticking up slightly to an annual rate of 3.4%. cbs's jo ling kent will start us off tonight, talking to voters who believe that lawmakers aren't doing enough to help the middle class. >> reporter: las vegas mortgage broker joan weber says the economy is not working for her or her customers hunting for home loans. >> the majority of people that are coming in today have way more credit card debt than they

did four, five years ago. and we tell them, well, you don't qualify because you have too much debt. >> reporter: weber, a republican, says the stubbornly high cost of living means her company processes fewer mortgage applications. >> the last two years have been the worst years of our ten years. i had to cancel my health care two years ago because it was $1,700 a month. that's almost as much as my mortgage payment. >> reporter: while inflation is off the highs of 2022, monthly budget items have continued to soar. rent was up 6.2% last year. auto insurance skyrocketed 20%. and dining out jumped 5.2%. >> painful. it's painful to go to the grocery store. it's painful to go to the gas pump. >> reporter: but the view from the white house? >> really good but lots of work to do on behalf of american families. >> reporter: lael brainard is director of the national economic council. she's the president's top adviser on the economy. we brought her this question from weber. >> what are they doing to fix the economy? if it is so great, why does it need fixing?

>> what's your response to that? >> yeah. so we have seen inflation come down by two-thirds. there are certain goods where they still remain too expensive for americans. we still need to do a lot of work to get health care to be more affordable. i don't know why, but republicans have been resisting those efforts to bring costs down. >> you're saying that partially why inflation is so persistent, it's the fault of the republicans? >> i'm saying that we're working really hard to bring costs down in the areas that matter most to americans. and in some cases, we really need congress to work with us. >> reporter: back in nevada, weber just wants results. >> i want the fighting to stop in washington, d.c. it's like mom and dad fighting, and we're all -- all the kids are suffering. our country is so divided. >> and jo ling kent joins us now. so how does this inflation report that's out today impact

what may happen with interest rates ahead? >> exactly. that's a great question. inflation ticked up more than wall street was expecting. so you can be sure the federal reserve is watching this so closely, trying to figure out when to time that first cut, which could come this spring. two members of the federal reserve have publicly expressed hesitation about cutting rates too soon. but the fed is also very mindful about not cutting rates too close to the general election to avoid seeming partisan, norah. >> everyone wants to know when those rates are going to get cut. jo ling kent, thank you so much. all right. former president donald trump took time off the campaign trail today for closing arguments in his civil fraud trial in new york city, where he is accused of falsifying financial documents for a decade. cbs's robert costa is outside the courthouse. >> reporter: with his businesses in new york at risk and after a long day in court, former president donald trump arrived at one of his new york properties to speak to reporters. >> we have our best poll numbers. we have the best everything

despite this and maybe because of this. >> reporter: with just days before the iowa caucuses, trump says his legal challenges here in new york and elsewhere are now part of the campaign trail. >> are you planning to show up in court? >> yeah. i want to go to all of my trials. >> reporter: thursday saw the closing arguments over the extent of fraud in the new york civil case. judge arthur engoron, who has already concluded trump and his two sons have defrauded banks and companies by inflating assets, is now weighing the scope of penalties. an explosive scene unfolded in the courtroom as trump spoke up and veered outside the bounds of what the judge said he could say, lashing out and making false accusations against the judge and the new york attorney general. "this is a fraud on me. what's happened here, sir, is a fraud on me," trump claimed. "you can't listen for more than one minute. this has been a persecution," he directed at engoron, prompting the judge to cut him off and tell trump's attorneys to "control your client." and while new york state

attorneys finished their closing arguments, trump was already gone, pumping his fist as supporters cheered him at his 40 wall street building. new york state attorney general letitia james. >> this case is about the facts and the law. >> reporter: trump told me he does plan to attend all of his upcoming trials, civil and criminal, state and federal. that's a remark that could have a real impact on the campaign calendar and take trump away from those key battleground states as he spends time in the courtroom. norah. >> there's a number of trials coming up on different fronts, yeah. robert costa, thank you so much. > the "cbs overnight

>> announcer: this is the "cbs overnight news." well, the economy is one of the main topics of conversation ahead of the iowa caucuses, now just four days away, but it's

not the only one. cbs's ed o'keefe is in ames, iowa, where he heard what's top of mind in the hawkeye state. >> the borders need to be closed. >> reporter: here in iowa, a top issue of concern for republican voters is the future of immigration and border security. >> yeah. the border is a big issue. >> an open border is not a good thing. >> reporter: candidates speak about it frequently. >> the border is a disaster. the worst border in history. >> reporter: and offer solutions. >> instead of catch and release, we're going to go to catch and deport. >> reporter: but some use terms that vilify undocumented immigrants. >> we have a program to transport illegal aliens to sanctuary jurisdictions. >> reporter: nationwide, americans are increasingly concerned about the situation at the u.s./mexico border. nearly half say it's a crisis. the issue is a longstanding concern for republicans, but there's increased worry among democrats and independents. the reality here is that iowa's 3 million residents are overwhelmingly white, and the state's strong economy needs immigrant labor. >> iowans, especially here,

would have a very difficult time having anything to eat at dinnertime without immigrants because immigrants are the ones who process the meat, who farm the fields, who cook the food. >> reporter: brenda rodriguez, who fled an abusive relationship in mexico, has lived in the state for nearly 30 years. >> we did so many years being under the shadows, and i'm done. >> so when you hear these candidates who are running say that people who have come illegally have to go home, what do you think of that? >> i deserve a chance to stay if i pay my taxes and i'm not doing anything. i don't think i'm a -- you know, a bad person that the people from iowa don't want me here. >> could iowa run without immigrants like you? >> i don't think so. >> reporter: with just four days remaining until the caucuses, the remaining republican

candidates like nikki haley and ron desantis will be holding big campaign events like this one, trying to find those last-minute undecided voters. former president donald trump is set to be back here holding rallies by the weekend. norah. >> ed o'keefe on the campaign trail there in ames, thank you so much. tonight another major winter storm system threatening much of the country. snow fell in parts of arizona and nevada today while the south braces for more severe weather. let's bring in meteorologist mike bettes. he's with our partners at the weather channel. good evening, mike. >> norah, good evening. this next major storm has many facets to it, including severe weather across the south. we just had numerous tornadoes touch down a couple days ago across the south. now notice the forecast shows a larger area could be impacted tonight through the day tomorrow from texas all the way to the carolinas. the storms will hit while many people are sleeping overnight tonight. yes, it does include a tornado threat that will last through the evening tomorrow and extend down into florida as well. then there's the winter side of all this. a major blast of wind and snow from the plains across the midwest. cities like des moines,
