the major storm bringing the most snowfall cities like new york have seen in years. >> we actually got on the last flight yesterday. that was canceled. we were pushed to the first flight this morning, and that was canceled. >> announcer: this is the "cbs overnight news." we begin with a fast-moving nor'easter and the 45 million americans impacted from west virginia to massachusetts. in some places, 15 inches of snow fell today alone, leading to dangerous road conditions, crashes, and many tonight are without power. more than a million students were out of school. new york city is digging out, and this is the biggest snowstorm since 2022. snow covered roads, caused havoc during the morning commute, causing more than 1,200 accidents in pennsylvania alone. air travelers faced their own problems with more than 3,000 delays and cancellations at the

nation's airports. well, tonight the major concern is coastal flooding. more than 11 million along the shorelines are under alerts tonight. cbs's lana zak starts us off tonight. >> reporter: a near miss in the northeast as the fast-moving storm dumped snow from maryland to massachusetts. new york city saw the highest daily snow total in more than two years, just over 3 inches, but far less than the 8 that was predicted by the national weather service. >> i wanted more. i wanted way more, and i wanted it to snow all day. >> reporter: while parts of connecticut and pennsylvania saw more than a foot of snow. the wintry white quickly turned slushy and slick. police responding to more than a thousand accidents in pennsylvania and hundreds more in new jersey and connecticut according to state police. air travel was also a mess with thousands of interruptions at major airports, including new york's laguardia, where more than a third of flights were canceled. >> i looked at the weather, and it seemed like it was going to be okay. i made plans, but it definitely

affected me. we couldn't even drive out. >> reporter: the massachusetts coast is under a flood advisory. louisa muller with cbs boston is there. >> low-lying areas often flood, but northerly wins and an astronomical tide make this parking lot look like a swimming pool. >> reporter: as a safety precaution, many school districts closed today. new york city public schools went remote, but the computer network had a meltdown when nearly a million students tried logging in at the same time. >> so to say that i am disappointed, frustrated, and angry is an understatement. >> reporter: well, there was one great benefit to that online learning snafu. central park today filled with kids who actually got to bring those sleds out of their closets for the first time in more than two years. but, norah, now that the sun has gone down, all of that slush is refreezing as ice, so authorities warn you have to be careful out there right now. norah. >> that is an important warning. lana zak, thank you so much.

let's bring in meteorologist chris warren from our partners at the weather channel as there are more storms on the way. good evening, chris. >> good evening, norah. this winter storm dumped more than a foot of snow for some areas in the northeast. but many of the big cities saw far less than that, including boston. just a tenth of an inch at the airport. main reason for that, the overall track of the system shifted a little bit to the south. but also the northeast winds bringing in the relatively mild air from the atlantic, keeping boston in the rain quite a bit longer, and keeping down the snowfall totals. any melting happening today could refreeze by morning with temperatures well below freezing. teens and 20s. watch out for black ice. a couple more chances of snow going through this week and into the weekend. fast-moving systems will bring maybe a few to maybe a half a foot of snow for some. but it is going to be the cold that millions will feel.

no other president in our history has ever bowed down to a russian dictator. well, let me say this as clearly as i can. i never will. for god's sake, it's dumb. it's shameful. it's dangerous. it's un-american. >> reporter: the president spoke after an all-night marathon debate in the senate led to early morning passage of a security spending bill. >> the bill as amended passes. >> reporter: it would provide billions in military assistance to ukraine, israel, and taiwan but says nothing about u.s./mexico border security, and that's why house speaker mike johnson says he won't bring it up for a vote. >> national security begins with border security. we have said that all along. >> reporter: house republicans are increasingly taking cues from trump, who has said they shouldn't support any border security deal that could benefit democrats and president biden. the president today said the stakes are bigger than that. >> and i say to the house members, house republicans, you gotta decide. are you going to stand up for freedom, or are you going to side with terror and tyranny?

will you stand with america or trump? >> reporter: meanwhile tonight, house republicans voted to impeach homeland security secretary alejandro mayorkas amid their opposition to his handling of border security. he's the first cabinet secretary impeached since 1876. there's no guarantee the democratic-controlled senate will hold an actual trial. norah. >> ed o'keefe at the white house, thank you. frustrating news about inflation sent stocks spiraling today. the dow had its worst day in nearly a year, dropping almost 1.5%. it was no better for the s&p 500 or the nasdaq. those losses were triggered by a new report showing inflation came in higher than expected at 3.1% last month, meaning a cut in interest rates may not come for several months. there's a lot more news ahead on the "cbs overnight news."

residential neighborhood. no reason for tourists, i'm told, to come through this area. >> this now accounts for murder number 25. >> reporter: nassau-based channel eyewitness news has been covering the crime. >> that crime situation that is happening in the bahamas, local communities, gang-related incidents, not crime that you're hearing about in tourist hot spots or at the popular resort. >> reporter: two kentucky women say they were drugged and raped by resort employees after visiting a beach in central grand bahama. >> it was like a dream vacation -- until it wasn't. >> reporter: two men have been arrested in connection with the alleged assault though the resort says surveillance footage conflicts with the women's account. tourism makes up around 70% of the bahamas' gross domestic product and employs more than half of the country's workforce. vendors and the government alike are concerned about the travel warns' fallout. there are similar concerns in jamaica, where the u.s. recently

eiffel tower. molly carlson, who's canadian, is among ten women facing off in puglia. on the men's side, her boyfriend, aidan hess love from the united kingdom is one of 12 in this two-day competition. >> we're going up how high? >> to the top. >> to the top. >> reporter: on practice day, he took us up past the women's platform, three stories higher to the men's. >> not a big fan of heights. >> reporter: they suggested wearing a harness. we were happy to oblige. >> we just focus on our dive and stay chill up here. this is like second nature for us now, you know. >> that's crazy. it is not second nature for me. my legs are actually wobbling. but thanks for bringing me up here. >> of course. >> want to go down? >> reporter: hess love nailed his practice dives but was struggling on day one of the competition, as was molly carlson. >> i've had a lot of anxiety going into this competition. i don't know why. >> reporter: but she's used to

pressure. while cliff diving itself is not yet an olympic sport, for years her only goal was to make it to the olympics on the canadian diving team. >> as soon as i didn't make that olympic team, it was like everything came to light. i was like, oh, my gosh, i've been suffering for a year, and no one knows about it. >> reporter: under crushing stress, at the time she developed an eating disorder. >> i told my family as soon as i opened up about it, it was like i want to get the help. >> reporter: when she occasionally still suffers, she's cheered on by her roughly 4 million tiktok followers, where she has a hashtag brave gang, encouraging others to share their brave stories. today she trains at home in montreal, where she couples ballet, working balance, alignment, and rhythm -- >> all right. only high divers can come up here. >> reporter: -- with time on the very high platform. >> i walk super fast in this

part. the last ladder before 20 meters, whew. >> reporter: she took our camera up to show us her perspective. >> this is 10 meter platform. that is the olympic height, and we are double that. isn't that wild? full tour. the ladder you just came up and the 20-meter platform. >> reporter: this is one of just three permanent platforms of this height anywhere in the world. one is in china. the other is in fort lauderdale, florida, where we met ellie smart, who at 28 is one of the most senior divers. >> get it going faster. >> reporter: and is also a coach. >> to watch someone else overcome their fears and do things they never thought they'd be able to do, like that gives me so much joy. and sometimes more than doing it myself. >> reporter: the platform is so high that athletes can get injured from the impact of the

water if they dive from it more than a few times a week. >> there's not very many training facilities in the world. so a lot of what we do in our off-season training is we break our dives up into two parts. and then you come to these locations, and you actually just hope that you've trained both parts well enough that they'll go together pretty seamlessly. so we'll just do some front jumps. >> reporter: back in italy, we watched smart training her 16-year-old diver, maya kelly. >> you don't step on that platform unless you are 99.9% sure you can do what you're about to do. >> there is danger. people get hurt. >> yeah. i really look at football and some of those other sports that are really high contact sports. they have a lot of risks as well. >> reporter: those risks became all too real during kelly's first ever practice dive outside a pool from this height. that big splash was not good. she'd overrotated onto her back.

ultimately she was okay but was taken out of this competition. >> it's like going through a car crash a thousand times, you know. >> it sounds awful. >> it definitely is -- >> it sounds like a terrible thing. >> but absolutely worth it every single time. >> but why? how? >> in the moment, you feel nothing but pure bliss, and that's the scary part. your natural instincts are like, don't jump. this is crazy. but in the air, it's like finally this moment of silence. i have anxiety. i live with it every single day. but the second i jump off that platform, my mind is so calm. >> reporter: it's a sort of odd tranquility while being cheered on and judged. but on the final day of this competition, carlson pulled ahead, placing second. her boyfriend, aidan heslop landed first. >> it's exciting, and i think we

coordinating and directing leaders. >> did anyone film that? >> reporter: stewart even turned the tables on himself. >> we need more than just the same show with an older, yet familiar face. [ laughter ] like let someone else run the show. >> we're talking about the election, right? >> i said what i said. and that's the overnight news for this wednesday. be sure to check back later for "cbs mornings." reporting from the nation's capital, i'm erica brown. this is "cbs news flash." i'm shanelle kaul in new york. house republicans voted to impeach homeland security secretary alejandro mayorkas tuesday night over his handling

the major storm bringing the most snowfall cities like new york have seen in years. >> we actually got on the last flight yesterday. that was canceled. we were pushed to the first flight this morning, and that was canceled. >> announcer: this is the "cbs overnight news." we begin with a fast-moving nor'easter and the 45 million americans impacted from west virginia to massachusetts. in some places, 15 inches of snow fell today alone, leading to dangerous road conditions, crashes, and many tonight are without power. more than a million students were out of school. new york city is digging out, and this is the biggest snowstorm since 2022. snow covered roads, caused havoc during the morning commute, causing more than 1,200 accidents in pennsylvania alone. air travelers faced their own problems with more than 3,000 delays and cancellations at the

nation's airports. well, tonight the major concern is coastal flooding. more than 11 million along the shorelines are under alerts tonight. cbs's lana zak starts us off tonight. >> reporter: a near miss in the northeast as the fast-moving storm dumped snow from maryland to massachusetts. new york city saw the highest daily snow total in more than two years, just over 3 inches, but far less than the 8 that was predicted by the national weather service. >> i wanted more. i wanted way more, and i wanted it to snow all day. >> reporter: while parts of connecticut and pennsylvania saw more than a foot of snow. the wintry white quickly turned slushy and slick. police responding to more than a thousand accidents in pennsylvania and hundreds more in new jersey and connecticut according to state police. air travel was also a mess with thousands of interruptions at major airports, including new york's laguardia, where more than a third of flights were canceled. >> i looked at the weather, and it seemed like it was going to be okay. i made plans, but it definitely affected me.

we couldn't even drive out. >> reporter: the massachusetts coast is under a flood advisory. louisa muller with cbs boston is there. >> low-lying areas often flood, but northerly winds and an astronomical tide make this parking lot look like a swimming pool. >> reporter: as a safety precaution, many school districts closed today. new york city public schools went remote, but the computer network had a meltdown when nearly a million students tried logging in at the same time. >> so to say that i am disappointed, frustrated, and angry is an understatement. >> reporter: well, there was one great benefit to that online learning snafu. central park today filled with kids who actually got to bring those sleds out of their closets for the first time in more than two years. but, norah, now that the sun has gone down, all of that slush is refreezing as ice, so authorities warn you have to be careful out there right now. norah. >> that is an important warning. lana zak, thank you so much.

let's bring in meteorologist chris warren from our partners at the weather channel as there are more storms on the way. good evening, chris. >> good evening, norah. this winter storm dumped more than a foot of snow for some areas in the northeast. but many of the big cities saw far less than that, including boston. just a tenth of an inch at the airport. main reason for that, the overall track of the system shifted a little bit to the south. but also the northeast winds bringing in the relatively mild air from the atlantic, keeping boston in the rain quite a bit longer, and keeping down the snowfall totals. any melting happening today could refreeze by morning with temperatures well below freezing. teens and 20s. watch out for black ice. a couple more chances of snow going through this week and into the weekend. fast-moving systems will bring maybe a few to maybe a half a foot of snow for some. but it is going to be the cold that millions will feel.

by saturday morning, 190 million with temperatures below freezing, norah. >> chris warren, thank you. back here in washington, president biden today came out swinging against former president donald trump, calling his comments about russia invading nato countries shameful and dumb. the president says trump's remarks raise the stakes for congress to approve new funding to support ukraine, israel, and taiwan. cbs's ed o'keefe has details from the white house. >> the former president has sent a dangerous and, shockingly, frankly un-american signal to the world. >> reporter: president biden leveled a blistering attack today on donald trump for recently saying he wouldn't defend nato allies from a russian attack if they don't pay full dues to the alliance. >> let's say that happened. no, i would not protect you. in fact, i would encourage them to do whatever the hell they want. you gotta pay. you gotta pay your bills. >> can you imagine a former president of the united states saying that? the whole world heard it. the worst thing is he means it.

no other president in our history has ever bowed down to a russian dictator. well, let me say this as clearly as i can. i never will. for god's sake, it's dumb. it's shameful. it's dangerous. it's un-american. >> reporter: the president spoke after an all-night marathon debate in the senate led to early morning passage of a security spending bill. >> the bill as amended passes. >> reporter: it would provide billions in military assistance to ukraine, israel, and taiwan but says nothing about u.s./mexico border security, and that's why house speaker mike johnson says he won't bring it up for a vote. >> national security begins with border security. we have said that all along. >> reporter: house republicans are increasingly taking cues from trump, who has said they shouldn't support any border security deal that could benefit democrats and president biden. the president today said the stakes are bigger than that. >> and i say to the house members, house republicans, you gotta decide. are you going to stand up for freedom, or are you going to side with terror and tyranny?

will you stand with america or trump? >> reporter: meanwhile tonight, house republicans voted to impeach homeland security secretary alejandro mayorkas amid their opposition to his handling of border security. he's the first cabinet secretary impeached since 1876. there's no guarantee the democratic-controlled senate will hold an actual trial. norah. >> ed o'keefe at the white house, thank you. frustrating news about inflation sent stocks spiraling today. the dow had its worst day in nearly a year, dropping almost 1.5%. it was no better for the s&p 500 or the nasdaq. those losses were triggered by a new report showing inflation came in higher than expected at 3.1% last month, meaning a cut in interest rates may not come for several months. there's a lot more news ahead on the "cbs overnight news."

- [narrator] at kpix, we're taking weather to the next level. - we can show not just what's happening at ground level,

lines at dozens much of airports in the u.s. today. most of the nation's flight attendants represented by multiple unions are in contract negotiations, seeking better pay and working conditions. we get details from cbs's carter evans. >> hey, hey, ho, ho, corporate greed has got to go. >> reporter: outside airports across the country today, flight attendants walked the picket lines. several thousand representing two dozen airlines at more than 30 airports all with the same message. >> we've been fighting for contracts for probably 2 1/2 years. >> reporter: the picketing comes at a crucial time for flight attendants, who say they've been dealing more frequently with unruly passengers. >> oh, my god! >> reporter: and feel underappreciated for the times they perform potential lifesaving measures, like whether the door recently blew off this alaska airlines jet. >> hey, hey, ho, ho. >> reporter: tim green has been an alaska flight attendant for more than 20 years. >> when was the last time you got a raise? >> the last significant raise for us was back in 2018.

>> before all the increase in prices and everything? >> before everything started to skyrocket and, yes, inflation went nuts. >> reporter: most flight attendants have a starting salary of just $27,000. the median salary is $63,000. the demand for a pay raise comes after pilots negotiated between 35% and 50% salary hikes and as airlines last year posted a combined $10 billion profit. and most domestic flight attendants don't even earn their hourly wage until the boarding door closes. >> about 45 minutes to an hour working with the passengers, getting everybody seated, dealing with all the problems. >> and you're not getting paid for that? >> we're not getting paid, but we're required to be there. >> reporter: since no one walked off the job, no flights were delayed because of today's protests. now, contract negotiations are under way, so any strike would be months away at this point. and we reached out to several airlines. they all said that flight attendants have the right to picket, and they're optimistic

that deals will be reached. norah. >> carter evans, thank you. with inflation still stubbornly high, raising the cost of food and shelter, millions of student loan borrowers are stuck deciding between having to pay their debt or provide for their families. in tonight's "money watch," cbs's nancy chen has tips to help you save. >> reporter: with two master's degrees, racquelle perry has always prioritized education, and she has the bills to prove it. >> how much do you owe? >> $307,000. >> when you see that amount written out, what do you think? >> how am i ever going to pay this back? >> reporter: the 30-year-old mother teaches financial literacy to high schoolers in harrisburg, pennsylvania. but when it comes to supporting her family, the numbers don't ad up. >> if i pay this $500, $600, $700 a month, how am i going to afford to buy food for the family for the month, for the week? >> reporter: perry avoided her payments along with 40% of

borrowers after federal student loan bills resumed last fall following a pause for the pandemic. borrowers won't face late fees for a one-year grace period. but student loan adviser betsy mayotte warns interest is still building. >> what are the consequences or risks in not addressing this issue? >> if the loan ends up defaulting, it's going to be a big hit on your credit. future debt that you need to take on, a mortgage, a credit card, a car loan, is likely going to have a much higher interest rate. >> reporter: while everyone's situation is different, all federal loans offer an interest rate discount for auto pay. for some, up to $2,500 in annual interest could be written off on tax returns. and the government has constantly evolving programs that can eliminate or reduce loans with options available through the online loan simulator tool. >> i would love to see every consumer with student loans get in the habit of re-evaluating their student loan strategy and checking in on things once a year. >> reporter: lessons for all, including those at the head of

closed, but it is full of people. and residents tell me that there's sometimes eight people per room, sometimes a dozen. and during the busiest times, more than 25 people per room. 25-year-old carlos took us into the crowded room that he shares with more than a dozen people, including his wife. there's barely any room to walk. he's worked as a roofer, and when he can't find a job, he washes windshields for tips. "i'd rather work hard outside," he says, "because with this, i can make money." like chicago and new york, the migrant surge is driving denver to the financial breaking point. the mile-high city expects to spend $180 million this year on migrants, forcing the city to cut some services. >> we will start to have to greenlight a set of hard decisions about budget reductions. >> reporter: prince has received help and donations but says she's spent more than $300,000 of her own money since october.
