further inflaming an already fiery congress. norah? >> what a look. thank you. president biden won nevada's primary election last night while south carolina governor nikki haley got walloped in the republican contest. not by former president donald trump, who wasn't even on the nonbinding primary ballot, but she lost to the "none of these" candidates option, which more than doubled haley's vote total. the nevada primary was a big test for the candidates to rally latino voters in a crucial battleground state. cbs' ed o'keefe is listening to america tonight in the silver state. >> reporter: every four years, candidates bet big on nevada. but in order to hit the jackpot, remember, they need to win over the state's key demographic, latinos. and few here are eager for the likely rematch. >> my gosh, it feels like deja vu all over again, honestly, the same presidential candidates. >> reporter: maggie, a self-described reagan republican, voted for mr. biden four years ago. now she is not sure.

>> he talked about health care and education and even student loans for students, right. a lot of things that i don't think he was able to deliver. >> reporter: but she can't support trump either. >> he needs to put the ego aside. he needs to respect women. >> reporter: nationwide, at least three million more latinos are eligible to vote from three years ago. a new u.s. citizen who leans democrat is among them. >> i was excited. when i became a citizen, i was yes, let's do it. and now it's like what do i do? >> reporter: she'd like to vote for the president, but -- >> there's just so many things that have been promised and we still haven't really seen them. >> reporter: what hasn't joe biden done for you? >> let's start with immigration. there are so many people around me that i see them struggle. he promised in the beginning, and we didn't see that. we're still in the same situation. >> reporter: independent stevie voted for trump twice and says

president biden has been too scriptive. >> it doesn' seem like he was trying to connect to people to answer the questions we want answered. >> reporter: do you think it would be different if you had different candidates running? >> yes. this is a country where the millenniums are doing wonderful things. why not give the opportunity to, you know, a woman president or a young person. >> reporter: one thing so clear in our conversations is a real lack of enthusiasm for the likely candidates, and that's going to put a lot of pressure on the state parties in this swing state to turn out voters who, as you can see, are pretty turned off. norah? >> ed o'keefe in las vegas, thank you. secretary of state antony blinken's latest efforts to broker a new ceasefire and hostage release in the israel-hamas war hit a dead-end today. israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu rejected a counteroffer from hamas calling the terror group's demands delusional. we get more from cbs' debora

patta in jerusalem. >> reporter: as war rages on, if the u.s. was hoping israel's prime minister would be in a negotiating mood, today would have been a disappointment. benjamin netanyahu has rejected a proposal by hamas that includes demands for a 135-day ceasefire and the withdrawal of troops from gaza in exchange for all the hostages. >> but peace and security require total victory over hamas. we cannot accept anything else. >> reporter: and netanyahu warned that while victory was close, it could still take months. secretary of state antony blinken now on his fifth visit to the region, appears to be going home empty handed once again, despite his more positive tone. >> while there are some clear non-starters in hamas' response, we do think it creates space for agreement to be reached. >> reporter: but for

palestinians stuck in gaza, who have already endured four months of war, a deal cannot come soon enough. and for the families of the more than 100 hostages still being held in the middle of that war, there is just as much as stake. it's been 123 agonizing days waiting for their loved ones to come home and worrying about their safety. speaking today, some former hostages had bitter words for netanyahu, saying that if the goal of destroying hamas continues, norah, there will be no more hostages left to free. >> debora patta, thank you. the "cbs overnight news" will be right back.

>> we are following a number of breaking stories involving the u.s. military, including that drone strike in iraq that the pentagon says killed a high-ranking commander of kataib hezbollah. that is the iranian-backed militia that is blamed for the death of three soldiers in jordan. the united states says the commander killed is responsible for directly planning and participating in terrorist attacks against american forces in the middle east. there have been 168 attacks on u.s. service members in iraq, syria, and jordan since october. the strike targeted a single car on a busy street in the eastern part of the iraqi capital. this is the first time since the deaths of those soldiers that the united states has targeted a specific person after a major strike last week against buildings and weapons depots. the president has vowed that attacks on these militia groups will continue as long as the u.s. military in the region is threatened. here is cbs' david martin with new reporting from the pentagon.

>> reporter: the drone strike in downtown baghdad engulfed a vehicle in flames, killing a senior commander of the largest iranian-backed militia in iraq and syria, known as kataib hezbollah. u.s. officials said the nighttime strike was part of the retaliation ordered by president biden after the drone attack which killed three american soldiers in jordan. the target of tonight's strike was in charge of kataib hezbollah operations in syria, just across the border from jordan, and pentagon officials had fingered kataib hezbollah as the most likely suspect. >> as the footprints of kataib hezbollah, but not making a final assessment on that. >> reporter: retaliation for the jordan attack began last friday night with air strikes against half a dozen locations in iraq and syria, including ammunition dumps which set off spectacular secondary explosions. more than 85 targets in all. >> we currently assess that we had good effects and this the strikes destroyed or functionally damaged more than

80 targets at the seven facilities. >> reporter: the effect that matters is whether these retaliatory strikes put an end to attacks against american troops. since that friday night strike, there have been two confirmed attacks, both in syria, but no injuries to americans. norah? >> yeah, let's see what happens next. david martin, thank you. well, tonight more breaking news with the urgent search under way for five missing marines after their helicopter went down in a remote area about an hour outside of san diego. the white house says president biden has been briefed, and he is keeping a close eye on the search efforts. cbs' jonathan vigliotti is at the scene. >> reporter: tonight a desperate search for five missing u.s. marines after the helicopter they were on vanished during a powerful storm. this morning, search and rescue teams located the helicopter in a remote mountain area inside the cleveland national forest. the condition it was found in is unclear. >> the search is ongoing for the helicopter and the crew.

obviously, our hopes are of the best here. >> reporter: officials say the marines' ch-53e helicopter took off from creech air force base las vegas tuesday evening, flying to marine corps air station in miramar, california. >> we got a call from the marine corps saying that they lost signal from one of their aircraft in the pine valley area. >> reporter: search teams launched three hours later when the aircraft was reported overdue and presumed to be missing. >> the last known location was from a ping that was reported to our dispatch center. >> reporter: this is just the latest crash involving the ch-53e aircraft which is used to carry heavy military equipment. four marines were killed in california during a routine training mission in 2018, and 12 marines died in 2016 when the same helicopters collided during a nighttime training exercise off the coast of oahu in hawaii. >> you've got well-trained air crews. it's a very complex machine, and things simply do happen.

>> reporter: this flight was part of a training mission. and tonight it's unclear why it took off in the first place. snow, wind, and rain made for dangerous conditions. meanwhile, tonight the search continues behind me. it was actually delayed several hours because of the weather, norah. >> jonathan vigliotti on the scene for us, thank you. at least nine deaths are now being blamed on the storms that slammed california this week. three days of record rainfall triggered hundreds of mud slides, damaging homes across the state. cbs' carter evans shows us the massive cleanup has only just begun. >> reporter: as l.a. finally starts to dry out, they're digging out from a massive amount of mud that has inundated the region. the numbers are remarkable. since the beginning of the year, los angeles has recorded nearly twice the amount of rainfall as seattle, more than six times what miami has received, a foot

of rain in l.a., much of it just in the last three days. that's what makes the cleanup so daunting. just since sunday, more than 500 mud slides and 400 trees uprooted. the damage stretching from the hillsides to the beaches. these apartment buildings now hang precariously over the shoreline near santa barbara after a cliff gave way. east of l.a., this woman's mother survived a major slide yesterday morning. >> she was oh my god, the hill is coming down, the hill is coming down. >> we had an amount of rain before, but not as bad. >> reporter: in this storm, jesus barone's situation is all too typical. he took us through his house. >> no power. >> reporter: it actually looked okay, until we got here. oh, my gosh! so it's not like it even came through. it's not like it even came through the window here. >> it came through the wall. it came through the wall, as you can see. yes, it took down the studs. it took down everything, yes. >> reporter: wow.

this is what it looks like from the backyard. the mud punched a hole right through the wall. more rain is on the way, and that's bad news for people who live in hillside communities where the threat of even more mud slides very real. norah? >> just incredible to look at that. carter evans, thank you so much. two philadelphia area police officers were wounded today responding to a call that an 11-year-old had possibly been shot at a home in east lansdowne, pennsylvania. but it's not clear if a child was shot or even in the house. the officers were rushed to the hospital and listed in stable condition. a fire then broke out with the gunman barricaded inside. police are waiting for the fire to be put out so they can then go inside. there is a lot more news ahead on the "cbs overnight news."

bowl lviii. the defending champion chiefs will take the field against the 49ers at allegiant stadium in las vegas. it's the first super bowl sin city has ever hosted, and the first time a super bowl will ever be played in a stadium powered entirely by renewable energy. ben tracy paid a visit to the source of that power out in the nevada desert. >> reporter: how big is this solar farm? how many panels do you have out here? >> we have 621,000 panels that make up this array. >> reporter: the solar farm outside of las vegas may look like a shimmering mirage, but its starting lineup is more powerful than any in the nfl. >> this solar field right here would be big enough to serve close to 60,000 of our residential customers. >> reporter: or a couple of homes and one big stadium? >> and one big stadium. >> reporter: that stadium is allegiant field, home to super bowl lviii. the raiders say it's the first nfl stadium powered by 100% renewable energy, thanks to a

25-year agreement to buy power from this new solar installation owned by nv energy. doug cannon is its ceo. how much energy does it take to power super bowl sunday? >> yeah, so it will be over 10 megawatts. that's about equivalent to about 46,000 homes. >> sustainability was front of mine as the stadium was being constructed. >> reporter: raiders president sandra douglas morgan says the stadium roof is made of a sustainable plastic material that allows in about 10% of daylight but blocks all solar heat so it takes less energy to cool the building. the grass field is moved outdoors on a rail system to get natural sunlight rather than using energy intensive growing lights. and everything from grass clips to food scraps and cigarette butts are composted and converted into other forms of energy. >> this is our main electrical entry room for the stadium. >> reporter: the stadium got a presuper bowl visit from u.s. secretary of energy jennifer granholm.

>> all renewable energy comes here. >> reporter: who was shown that power from where the solar field enters the building. >> people sometimes get nervous about renewable power because they're not sure it's going to be reliable. the fact that renewable power can power a facility like this can speak volumes about what can happen in other communities. >> reporter: you can't risk the lights going out during the super bowl? >> are you kidding? there would be so many angry people. >> reporter: these white boxes at the solar farmhouse massive batteries that store renewable energy. so when the sun isn't shining, they still have five hours of power. energy storage like this will eventually power much of the u.s. grid as wind and solar power replace fossil fuels and their planet-warming emissions. how crucial is being able to store renewable energy to use it when you want it? >> yeah, we call that dispatchable power. and that storage component, which a lot of people don't realize is a huge piece of how we're going get to 100% clean electricity by 2035, which is the president's goal nationally.

>> reporter: of course, most of us don't have to worry about powering a super bowl halftime show. it's one thing to power ball a super bowl, but do you have enough power for usher? >> absolutely we have enough power for usher. and all of his lights and all of the fanfare that will be there. >> reporter: the short answer would just be yeah, yeah, yeah. ♪ yeah, yeah, yeah ♪ >> reporter: and while the moves on the stage and field will be memorable, this super bowl will also make history for its super power. i love that my daughter still needs me.

scripted. >> it doesn't seem like he was trying to connect to people to answer the questions we want answered. >> reporter: do you think it would be different if you had different candidates running? >> yes. this is a country where the millenniums are doing wonderful things. why not give the opportunity to, you know, a woman president or a young person. >> reporter: one thing so clear in our conversations is a real lack of enthusiasm for the likely candidates, and that's going to put a lot of pressure on the state parties in this swing state to turn out voters who, as you can see, are pretty turned off. norah? >> ed o'keefe in las vegas, thank you. secretary of state antony blinken's latest efforts to broker a new ceasefire and hostage release in the israel-hamas war hit a dead-end today. israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu rejected a counteroffer from hamas calling the terror group's demands delusional. we get more from cbs' debora patta in jerusalem. >> reporter: as war rages on, if

have already endured four months of war, a deal cannot come soon enough. and for the families of the more than 100 hostages still being held in the middle of that war, there is just as much as stake. it's been 123 agonizing days waiting for their loved ones to come home and worrying about their safety. speaking today, some former hostages had bitter words for netanyahu, saying that if the goal of destroying hamas continues, norah, there will be no more hostages left to free. >> debora patta, thank you. the "cbs overnight news" will be right back.
