3:30 am
>> announcer: this is the "cbs overnight news." hello, everyone. i'm lana zak in new york. thank you for joining us. florida governor ron desantis has suspended his presidential campaign and is lending his support to donald trump. the news comes with new hampshire set to hold its first in the nation primary tomorrow. it's now a two-person race for the gop presidential nomination, trump and former south carolina
3:31 am
governor nikki haley, both vying for voter support. desantis canceled his new hampshire event on sunday, instead making this announcement online. >> now, following our second-place finish in iowa we've prayed and deliberated on the way forward. if there was anything i could do to produce a favorable outcome, more campaign stops, more interviews, i would do it. but i can't ask our supporters to volunteer their time and dwont their resources if we don't have a clear path to victory. accordingly, i am today suspending my campaign. i'm proud to have delivered on 100% of my promises. and i will not stop now. it's clear to me that a majority of republican primary voters want to give donald trump another chance. they watched his presidency get stymied by relentless resistance and they see democrats using lawfair to this day to attack him. while i've had disagreements with donald trump such as on the coronavirus pandemic and his elevation of anthony fauci, trump is superior to the current
3:32 am
incumbent joe biden. that is clear. i signed a pledge to support the republican nominee, and i will honor that pledge. he has my endorsement because we can't go back to the old republican guard of yesteryear, a repackaged form of warmed-over corporatism that nikki haley represents. heading into new hampshire desantis was trailing both trump and haley. last week he barely beat out haley for second in the iowa caucuses, far behind trump. haley got news of desantis dropping out while on the campaign trail in new hampshire. >> he ran a great race. he's been a good governor. and we wish him well. having said that, it's now one fella and one lady left. [ cheers and applause ] so there were 14 people in this race. there were a lot of fellas. all the fellas are out. except for this one. and this comes down to what do
3:33 am
you want? do you want more of the same or do you want something new? >> trump scored a historic victory last week in the iowa caucuses, and now it is only haley who stands between him and the nomination. he addressed his supporters there in new hampshire. >> before we begin i'd like to take time to congratulate ron desantis and of course a really terrific person. i've gotten to know his wife casey. for having run a great campaign for president. he did. he ran a really good campaign. i will tell you. it's not easy. they think it's easy doing this stuff. right? it's not easy. but as you know he left the campaign trail today at 3:00 p.m., and in so doing he was very gracious and he endorsed me. so i appreciate that. i appreciate that. and i also look forward to working with ron and everybody
3:34 am
else to defeat crooked joe biden. we have to get him out. we have to get him out. he's put our country at great peril. at great peril. so i just want to thank ron and congratulate him on doing a very good job. it's a tough situation. it's a tough thing to do. i'm thrilled to be here in the home of the first in the nation primary. do you know why you're first in the nation? because of me. i kept you there. unlike biden. >> ed o'keefe now with a look at tomorrow's primary in new hampshire, a small state that plays a big role in choosing our presidents. >> reporter: now it's new hampshire's turn. >> politics is a state sport. >> reporter: the granite state has been holding its primary for more than 100 years. >> i think it's important to people here because they're educated in politics and they feel that it's their -- it goes back to their roots.
3:35 am
>> new hampshire voters use every bit of yankee ingenuity to get to the polls. one well-known dog sled racer offered voters a taxi service. >> reporter: in new hampshire they take pride in their first in the nation status and it's now state law. they must hold the first primary. >> why change it? trying to stack the deck so someone else can win, because they can't win here so they can win somewhere else? it's crazy. >> reporter: the state's been te site of several twists and turns like three days before the 1980 gop primary. a newspaper debate had been deemed in violation of federal election rules. so then candidate ronald reagan offered to pay for it. but the paper invited only reagan and top challenger george h.w. bush to go one on one. reagan wanted lesser-known doenders to also appear. the moderator disappeared. reagan interrupted. >> excuse me, governor reagan, would the sound man please turn mr. reagan's mike on for the moment? >> reporter: and it led to this political mike drop. >> i am paying for this microphone! [ cheers and applause ]
3:36 am
>> reporter: there won't be any debate drama this year, as the qualifying candidates wouldn't agree to appear together. most new hampshire voters are registered undeclared, but they can still participate in the primary. >> i think that there is just a strong independent cohort here in new hampshire. >> reporter: the undeclared are huge targets for candidates with potential crossover appeal. this year former u.n. ambassador nikki haley is especially eager to win them. >> you know how to do this. you know iowa starts it. you know that you correct it. >> reporter: and she's got a point. new hampshire republicans usually get it right. as for democrats, new hampshire is the state where senator gary hart hit the target. and where despite coming in second in 1992 bill clinton held on. >> i'll never forget who gave me a second chance, and i'll be there for you till the last dog dies. >> reporter: but this year's democratic primary won't count. the democratic national committee has adopted a new
3:37 am
calendar that drops new hampshire further back in favor of south carolina's february 3rd primary. but new hampshire democrats are following state law and holding their primary anyway. the president won't be on the bllot and hasn't campaigned in the state. instead supporters are running a biden write-in campaign. he's opposed by minnesota congressman dean phillips, a long shot, expected to lose. but something similar has happened before in new hampshire. in 1968 another minnesota lawmaker, eugene mccarthy, challenged another incumbent president, lyndon johnson, who only ran a write-in campaign. johnson didn't campaign in new hampshire and barely won. just days later -- >> good evening, my fellow americans. >> reporter: -- johnson dropped out. >> i shall not seek and i will not accept the nomination of my party for another term as your president. >> reporter: now, we're not
3:38 am
expecting something like that to happen this time, but it was president biden who said new hampshire should no longer go first for democrats, arguing south carolina and its more diverse, predominantly black democratic voter base should get a chance to weigh in first, especially because they've been so loyal to democrats through the years. we'll see if new hampshire holds that against the president on tuesday, when democrats and republicans go to the polls. republicans go to the polls. >> that was ed o'keefe reporting why are force factor vitamins so popular at walmart? force factor uses the highest quality ingredients to deliver powerful, healthy results from delicious and convenient supplements. that's why friends and family recommend force factor. rush to walmart and unleash your potential with force factor. sometimes, the lows of bipolar depression feel darkest before dawn. with caplyta, there's a chance to let in the lyte™. caplyta is proven to deliver significant relief across bipolar depression. unlike some medicines that only treat bipolar i, caplyta treats both bipolar i and ii depression. and in clinical trials, movement disorders and weight gain were not common.
3:39 am

3:40 am
>> announcer: this is the "cbs overnight news." i'm christina ruffini in washington. thanks for staying with us. china's western xinjiang province was one the origin of the silk road, the ancient gateway connecting asia to the middle east and europe. recently it's been the site of a brutal crackdown on minorities by the chinese communist party.
3:41 am
but beijing is trying to change that by turning xinjiang into a tourist mecca. how's that working? elizabeth palmer paid a visit. ♪ >> reporter: xinjiang on china's western frontier is being marketed these days by the state both for its beauty and its business opportunities. this tour was arranged by the chinese government's information office. it rented the buses. it set the itinerary. and it also provided the translators and the staff that has accompanied us every step of the way. they showed us everything from agricultural machinery to ancient ruins to e-sales of local plums on tiktok. what we didn't see was evidence of these, the detention centers and prisons that turned xinjiang into an international scandal. >> i am tamara selkon, daughter of the renowned uighur literary critic, writer and educator.
3:42 am
my father has been forcibly disappeared since 2016 and is suffering in the chinese prison. >> reporter: human rights groups say that starting in 2014 up to a million muslim uighur people were rounded up in xinjiang and imprisoned. those who could escaped, and thousands settled in the united states. >> detention facilities -- >> reporter: babur ilshi is with the uighur human rights project in washington. >> what is it about the uighur people that threatens the chinese communist party? >> ethnically we're not chinese. we're not han chinese. we're separate from the majority of china. the chinese government perceived us as a potential threat to their complete supremacy over china. >> reporter: meanwhile, the government has been investing heavily in xinjiang. for example, its multibillion-dollar high-speed train. everywhere we saw evidence of the eye-watering money china's
3:43 am
spending on infrastructure and tourist development. the message? forget human rights abuses. take in the sights. zu bin, one of our translators, is han chinese. he grew up in xinjiang and wanted to tell us how proud he is of the area he's always called home. >> i hope you could change some of the ideas or change some of the impressions which has been spread by some western medias about xinjiang. >> reporter: he's talking about those uighur detention centers that at first the chinese government denied existed. but after they showed up in satellite pictures it said they'd all been closed in 2019. the official with us wouldn't go on camera but did confirm we had driven by one, which he said wasn't worth pointing out because it was shut down. instead we saw ethnic dancing,
3:44 am
local wine production, and a village remodeled and butteified especially for tourists. but there was no chance to speak casually with the people who live there and of private uighur life we caught only passing glimpses. there was one official nod to china's crackdown on the uighurs. the extremist museum in xinjiang's capital urumchi. gruesome exhibits recall attacks by uighur extremists going back to the 1990s. in one, says the guide, 1,700 people were injured and 300 stores were burned. the message is china's government had no choice but to come down hard. >> the chinese government, as you well know, will say listen, we had some very serious terrorist attacks and we just responded. >> if your response to acts of violence or perceived acts of terrorism are to round up an
3:45 am
entire ethnic group into mass concentration camps, then you have gone beyond your ability to defend yourself. >> reporter: at night in urumchi we did see some heavy security presence, but overall with facial recognition cameras everywhere the policing and the atmosphere were relaxed. the very fact of this tour shows china's government believes it has brought the uighurs to heel. everything that we've seen on this tour and everything that we haven't underscores china's determination to rebrand xinjiang so it's no longer notorious for gross human rights violations against the uighurs but rather famous as a tourist attraction. the traditions of islam were once everywhere in xinjiang. religion was a pillar of uighur community life. and so were conservative customs. veils for women, beards for men.
3:46 am
not anymore. the law now discourages overt religious expression, even dress, in public. meanwhile, majority han chinese influence is officially encouraged. the ancient capital kashkar is now kashi, its xienz manned rir name. in the xinjiang bazaars uighur have been disneyified. even the sacred inqal mosque sells tickets to tourists. in urumchi's bazaar we found uighur mametu sidiki who told us he'd been in a reeducation camp for seven months. his crime? being overly religious. "i wouldn't even let my wife work," he said. and now he responds with the party line. "i learned i'd been brecking chi chinese law and reformed." but with surveillance cameras
3:47 am
watching and our official guides nearby, how free was he to speak? we'll never know. it's show time in nazerbag village kindergarten for local uighur kids. officially the chinese government promotes bilingual education for them. but this is mandarin. and so are those books back there on the shelves. the chinese government wants the world to believe its draconian crackdown was a good thing for stability, security and for the uighurs themselves. if the uighurs disagree, they're not saying. least of all to us. and as far as china's concerned, that is mission accomplished. welcome to xinjiang 2.0. >> that was elizabeth palmer in china. and you're watching the "cbs overnight news."
