kathy hochul's plan is aimed at improving subway rider safety, adding one thousand more personnel, including 750 national guard troops to help with patrols and random bag searches. >> anyone looking to do harm or spread fear on our subways, you will be caught. >> reporter: the move comes after a more than 46% spike in major crimes in the city's transit system in january, compared to 2023. across the country, cbs news polling shows crime is a top concern for voters. but data shows crime is down in big cities, including new york, chicago, and los angeles. >> in the daytime, i feel safe. nighttime, i don't know, man, because i be saying, where is the cops? you don't see them that much. >> reporter: already this year there have been several high profile crimes in new york's subway system, including three killings and a brutal attack on a conductor. >> but you have to feel safe in the system, because i know how

it plays on your psyche when you hear about some random acts of violence. >> reporter: danny perlstein is with the transit advocacy group riders alliance. >> with stationing troops there, that's going to create a heightened climate of fear of the subway. it's not getting at the root causes of the problems. >> reporter: the governor's plan does include $20 million for mental health outreach. >> in the morning, you see nothing but the homeless on the trains. i don't feel safe. sometimes i just take the bus. >> reporter: more than three million people ride the new york city transit system every day, but norah, that is down from a peak of five million people per day before the pandemic. >> all right. i know that's controversial. we'll be watching. elaine quijano, thank you. the stage is all but set for november's presidential election now that nikki haley has dropped out of the race. polls show it's a matchup few americans wanted, but last night's dominant super tuesday victories for both president joe

biden and predecessor donald trump will now lead to eight months of a brutal, bitter campaign. hre is cbs' caitlin huey-burns. >> i said i wanted americans to have their voices heard. i have done that. >> reporter: after a year on the campaign trail, nikki haley said she had no regrets. but a super tuesday near sweep for donald trump convinced her it was time to leave the race. >> and although i will no longer be a candidate, i will not stop using my voice for the things i believe in. >> reporter: while she congratulated the former pesident, she declined to endorse him. >> it is now up to donald trump to earn the votes of those in our party and beyond it who did not support him. and i hope he does that. >> reporter: but that could be a challenge. voter exit polls in north carolina showed 79% of haley supporters said they won't necessarily vote for trump. >> i always say if it's a biden-trump rematch, i have no idea who i would vote for.

records. >> reporter: trump invited haley supporters to join his movement, but not before criticizing her, saying she got trounced last night. >> we want to have unity, and we're going have unity. >> reporter: one sign of party unity, an dormant today from senate minority leader mitch mcconnell, who had been the highest ranking republican to withhold his support. president biden also made direct overtures to haley supporters, saying there is a place for them in my campaign. biden won overwhelmingly in most super tuesday states, but it came with a warning in minnesota, where tens of thousands voted uncommitted in political protest to his handling of the israel-hamas wr. yet one of biden's few challengers, dean phillips, also dropped out today and endorsed him, saying he would work to help keep a man of decency and integrity in the white house. and trump could win enough delegates next week to

officially clinch the republican nomination. and tonight, after skipping all of the republican debates, he's challenging biden to a debate, saying he'll meet him any time, anywhere. norah? >> that's interesting. caitlin huey-burns, thank you so much. well, there is lots to talk about. so let's dive deep were cbs' robert costa and ed o'keefe. all right. former president trump resounding victory, but still a number of challenges ahead. >> norah, top republicans tell me behind the scenes today that president biden's overture to nikki haley's voters, that's a warning sign that trump can't take anything for granted. biden is coming right for those suburban republicans who have real concerns about trump's conduct and character. but that's not the only issue trump is facing. he is going to be sitting in a courtroom in new york in just a few weeks for that criminal hush money trial. logistically, so much on the horizon for him. not just that trial in new york, but potentially a supreme court decision on presidential immunity and a possible trial on january 6th on classified

documents that will cloud the campaign. and then finally, raising money. just on sunday trump met with billionaire elon musk. now musk said today he is not going donate a cent to any candidate. but it's clear trump and his allies want musk to be involved in some way politically. >> and ed o'keefe, a big night for president biden ahead with the state of the union address. he has some work to do to convince voters about his record. >> he sure does. but overarching all of that is concern he may be too old to do the job. now he is trying to bat away those suggestions, a little bit of humor in suggesting that donald trump has had some mumbles and stumbles of his own. the big argument we're expecting him to continue making, don't judge me by my age, but by the age of my ideas, trying to be forward-looking when donald trump and republicans trying to turn the country back on issues like reproductive rights. diffusing voter frustrations. we saw in minnesota, again, a high percentage of people voted uncommitted, criticizing his position on the israel-hamas war. if he can't turn that around, there is a real risk base democratic voters won't show up in the battleground states.

and messaging on the economy. polling continues to show us americans upset about the direction of the economy. he's got eight months to reverse that, suggests i feel your pain, i'm trying to do something to help. the state of the union obviously a unique opportunity to try. >> all right. ed o'keefe, robert costa, thank you so much. and cbs news prime-time coverage of the state of the union address and the republican response begins 9:00 p.m. eastern, 6:00 p.m. pacific, and we hope you will join us. there is a lot more news ahead on the "cbs overnight news." when your gut is out of balance, your body gives you signs. so if you're frustrated with occasional bloating... ♪♪ [stomach noises] gas... or abdominal discomfort... help stop the frustration and start taking align every day. align probiotic was specifically designed by gastroenterologists to help relieve your occasional digestive upsets. so you can enjoy life. when you feel the signs, it's time to try align.

inside, but that's not stopping jewish activists outside. six days a week, melissa jane cronefeld leads groups from around the world who defiantly pray, as close as armed guards permit. >> the destruction of islamic holy sites. preserving this place and being guardians over the house of god for all people. >> so you're happy with it where it is? >> it's going to go, 100%. >> reporter: it's going to go? >> the whole thing is going to go to build a temple. >> reporter: when you say dome of the rock has to go, mj, it's hard for me to imagine something more incendiary. >> let me ask you something. the middle east seems pretty destabilized right now. and the war, if i'm not mistaken, is already here. >> reporter: to be clear, hers is a dream not shared by the israeli government or by the vast majority of israelis and jews. but it's been enough to incite numerous islamist groups. hamas has dubbed its october 7

assault on israel the al aqsa wave, and has the dome of the rock on its emblem. but this is sacred ground to billions of muslims globally, not just hamas terrorists, stresses imam of al aqsa moss. >> al aqsa mosque belongs to all muslims. so you'll find reaction from indonesia to toronto to new york. that's freely given. al aqsa mosque belongs to all muslims and today are two billion people. >> simply performing these acts, are these jewish activists kicking a hornet's nest? >> they are. they are. >> reporter: a hornet's nest they're kicking all the way to capitol hill. >> so good to see you near the nation's capitol. >> reporter: those sacred cows were show cased in washington at a recent prayer gathering. many evangelicals believe these red heifers will usher christ's second coming. >> we need the messiah to come, right? so for me, the red heifer is red

for the blood of jesus christ. >> reporter: back in the west bank, mamo says the ceremony could take place any day. but can you understand why hamas could be outraged by something like this? >> i cannots under it, even if they are right, why they have to slaughter and rape people to win their war. >> reporter: terrorists have been attacking us before we even dreamed of these cows, he reflects. they don't need

>> good evening. i'm norah o'donnell, and thank you for being with us on this wednesday night. and we do want to begin tonight with the rising crime rate in new york on america's largest subway system, with millions of commuters and tourists riding every day. well, now an extraordinary new approach by the governor there to bring down crime in the big apple. the democratic governor announcing a major crackdown. hundreds of national guard will begin tonight patrolling subway platforms and checking riders' bags. the show of force comes after a recent spike in crime in the underground transit, including three killings since january. and even today, just hours after the announcement, a train conductor reported that she was hit in the head with a glass bottle. cbs' elaine quijano spoke with subway riders about the new security. >> reporter: new york governor kathy hochul's plan is aimed at improving subway rider safety, adding one thousand more

personnel, including 750 national guard troops to help with patrols and random bag searches. >> anyone looking to do harm or spread fear on our subways, you will be caught. >> reporter: the move comes after a more than 46% spike in major crimes in the city's transit system in january, compared to 2023. across the country, cbs news polling shows crime is a top concern for voters. but data shows crime is down in big cities, including new york, chicago, and los angeles. >> in the daytime, i feel safe. nighttime, i don't know, man, because i be saying, where is the cops? you don't see them that much. >> reporter: already this year there have been several high profile crimes in new york's subway system, including three killings and a brutal attack on a conductor. >> but you have to feel safe in the system, because i know how it plays on your psyche when you hear about some random acts of violence. >> reporter: danny perlstein is

with the transit advocacy group riders alliance. >> with stationing troops there, that's going to create a heightened climate of fear of the subway. it's not getting at the root causes of the problems. >> reporter: the governor's plan does include $20 million for mental health outreach. >> in the morning, you see nothing but the homeless on the trains. i don't feel safe. sometimes i just take the bus. >> reporter: more than three million people ride the new york city transit system every day, but norah, that is down from a peak of five million people per day before the pandemic. >> all right. i know that's controversial. we'll be watching. elaine quijano, thank you. the stage is all but set for november's presidential election now that nikki haley has dropped out of the race. polls show it's a matchup few americans wanted, but last night's dominant super tuesday victories for both president joe biden and predecessor donald trump will now lead to eight months of a brutal, bitter campaign.

here is cbs' caitlin huey-burns. >> i said i wanted americans to have their voices heard. i have done that. >> reporter: after a year on the campaign trail, nikki haley said she had no regrets. but a super tuesday near sweep for donald trump convinced her it was time to leave the race. >> and although i will no longer be a candidate, i will not stop using my voice for the things i believe in. >> reporter: while she congratulated the former president, she declined to endorse him. >> it is now up to donald trump to earn the votes of those in our party and beyond it who did not support him. and i hope he does that. >> reporter: but that could be a challenge. voter exit polls in north carolina showed 79% of haley supporters said they won't necessarily vote for trump. >> i always say if it's a biden-trump rematch, i have no idea who i would vote for. >> reporter: trump invited haley supporters to join his movement, but not before criticizing her,

saying she got trounced last night. >> we want to have unity, and we're going have unity. >> reporter: one sign of party unity, an endorsement today from senate minority leader mitch mcconnell, who had been the highest ranking republican to withhold his support. president biden also made direct overtures to haley supporters, saying there is a place for them in my campaign. biden won overwhelmingly in most super tuesday states, but it came with a warning in minnesota, where tens of thousands voted uncommitted in political protest to his handling of the israel-hamas war. yet one of biden's few challengers dean phillips also dropped out today and endorsed him, saying he would work to help keep a man of decency and integrity in the white house. and trump could win enough delegates next week to officially clinch the republican nomination. and tonight, after skipping all of the republican debates, he's

challenging biden to a debate, saying he'll meet him any time, anywhere. norah? >> that's interesting. caitlin huey-burns, thank you so much. well, there is lots to talk about. so let's dive deeper with cbs' robert costa and ed o'keefe. robert, all right. former president trump resounding victory, but still a number of challenges ahead. >> norah, top republicans tell me behind the scenes today that president biden's overture to nikki haley's voters, that's a warning sign that trump can't take anything for granted. biden is coming right for those suburban republicans who have real concerns about trump's conduct and character. but that's not the only issue trump is facing. he is going to be sitting in a courtroom in new york in just a few weeks for that criminal hush money trial. logistically, so much on the horizon for him. not just that trial in new york, but potentially a supreme court decision on presidential immunity and a possible trial on january 6th on classified documents that will cloud the campaign. and then finally, raising money. just on sunday trump met with billionaire elon musk.

now musk said today he is not going donate a cent to any candidate. but it's clear trump and his allies want musk to be involved in some way politically. >> and ed o'keefe, a big night for president biden ahead with the state of the union address. he has some work to do to convince voters about his record. >> he sure does. but overarching all of that is concern he may be too old to do the job. now he is trying to bat away those questions a little bit of humor in suggesting that donald trump has had some mumbles and stumbles of his own. the big argument we're expecting him to continue making, don't judge me by my age, but by the age of my ideas, trying to be forward-looking when donald trump and republicans trying to turn the country back on issues like reproductive rights. diffusing voter frustrations. we saw in minnesota, again, a high percentage of people voted uncommitted, criticizing his position on the israel-hamas war. if he can't turn that around, there is a real risk base democratic voters won't show up in the battleground states. and messaging on the economy. polling continues to show us americans upset about the direction of the economy. he's got eight months to reverse

that, suggests i feel your pain, i'm trying to do something to help. the state of the union obviously a unique opportunity to try. >> all right. ed o'keefe, robert costa, thank you so much. and cbs news prime-time coverage of the state of the union address and the republican response begins 9:00 p.m. eastern, 6:00 p.m. pacific, and we hope you will join us. there is a lot more news ahead on te "cbs overnight news."

cbs' elise preston has the late-breaking details from the courthouse in new mexico. >> we find the defendant hannah gutierrez guilty. >> reporter: the jury found hannah gutierrez-reed guilty of manslaughter. >> this case is about constant never-ending safety failures that resulted in the death of a human being and nearly killed another. >> reporter: gutierrez-reed was in charge of nearly 20 weapons during the filming of the movie "rust," including the prop gun held by actor alec baldwin that discharged, killing halyna hutchins and injuring director joel souza in october 2021. >> what do you know. >> reporter: prosecutors argue gutierrez-reed was negligent because she mixed live ammunition with dummy rounds on the set. >> she had three hours in the morning waiting for camera crew to arrive. she had every opportunity to go through that box of dummies. >> that's something you can consider.

>> reporter: the defense tried to shift the blame to baldwin, who they argue never should have pointed the gun in the direction of hutchins. they say at the time of this shooting, gutierrez-reed wasn't inside the church and didn't give baldwin during the rehearsal. >> he is going off script. that defeats any idea that that was foreseeable to ms. gutierrez-reed. if she doesn't know what's happening, she can't foresee it. >> reporter: now gutierrez-reed was taken into custody as she awaits sentencing. as for baldwin, he was charged with involuntary manslaughter, but always maintained that he did not pull the trigger. baldwin's trial is expected to start in july. norah? >> elise preston in santa fe for us, thank you so much. turning now to the weather with millions of people under flood watches tonight in the northeast while severe storms are threatening the south. for more, let's bring in meteorologist mike bettes. he is with our partners at the weather channel. good evening, mike. >> norah, good evening.

another wet stretch ahead for the northeast through tomorrow. some heavier rain across the northeast with more than 30 million americans under flood watches, especially that i-95 corridor. generally speaking, 1 to 2, but pockets of 3 to 5, which could cause that flooding. we'll get a break on friday. right back into it for the weekend. another storm complex comes in. rain and wind. what's different about this one is a little bit colder the tail end brings some snow from ohio up to maine. some of that could be very heavy, especially in the mountains in new england. but from boston southbound, it's all rain for you here. then there is the southeast. several days of heavy rain and thunderstorms back in our forecast. as much as 5 inches of rain is possible, norah. also can't rule out severe weather including hail, high winds and a threat of severe tornadoes. >> mike bettes, thank you. now to the middle east and the dangerous situation in the red sea. tonight for the first time since this conflict began, a houthi attack on commercial ships has led to deaths. cbs' david martin reports on the escalating situation.

be repaired. >> have to go to the point of where the last known fault was, find the cables, bring them up to the surface, and splice the and repair the cable. >> reporter: it sounds like a pretty involved operation. >> and it's a dangerous area to be operating in. >> cbs' david martin is with us now. david, i want to ask you about another dangerous area amid a major conflict in ukraine. i understand the ukrainians are saying tonight there was a close call that a russian missile strike happened less than 2,000 feet from ukraine's president zelenskyy. do they believe this was a targeted attack? >> well, i asked john kirby about that, and he says that the u.s. assessment is the russians were not deliberately targeting zelenskyy. they were going after some other target in odesa, and he just happened to be nearby. >> a call for air defenses. david martin at the pentagon, thank you. the "cbs overnight news" will be right back.
