as the nation prepares to celebrate 248 years of independence, there's been a sweet discovery at the former home of george washington. scott macfarlane reports. >> reporter: at the riverfront estate of america's founding

father, the caretakers just found the mother lode behind this cellar door. >> how rare is it to find something like this when you dig? >> this is a once-in-a-lifetime discovery. it's extraordinarily rare. >> reporter: along the potomac river at george washington's mount vernon estate, archaeologists were working on an expansion of the historic site, which was a major plantation once tended by enslaved people. and their jaws dropped when they found these, nearly three dozen dirt-covered glass bottles buried 250 years ago beneath washington's home. inside, well preserved, still intact cherries and berries from the washington plantation like they picked for baking or booze-making, marinating for a quarter of a millennium in water inside the bottles caked in clay. >> and they seemed pretty well preserved to you? >> the cherries are incredible. >> reporter: mountain vernon director doug blackburn says the bottles were undisturbed, covered just years after their burial by flooring for a cellar

during an expansion in the 1700s. >> it's extraordinary to find these under the floor. i mean this is under a paved floor in washington's cellar, and so they were completely forgotten at the time. but there they are laid out like a mini regiment. >> these are real survivors, but it's also a testament to the way that they were preserved by the enslaved folks that did this entire process. >> reporter: archaeologist jason boroughs says an enslaved woman named doll oversaw the estate's kitchen. >> we think of her as one of the first early american cooks. >> reporter: boroughs says they dropped a scope camera into the bottles before using gentle suction devices and narrow spoons to remove the cherries. >> these have been preserved for over 250 years. >> that's them right there. >> we certainly didn't want to damage them now. >> reporter: just 15 miles outside the nation's capital, washington's home has been a draw to hundreds of thousands of visitors each year who trek to see the artifacts of america's first president. >> mount vernon's been a pilgrimage site for americans

since george washington was alive. those authentic things can really connect people to the past in a way that helps your imagination. >> reporter: operators of the historic site hope to preserve and put some of this on display by america's 250th birthday, july 4th, 2026, a fitting honor for the man who not only famously chopped down a cherry tree but founded a nation. scott macfarlane, cbs news, mount vernon, virginia. and that's today's "cbs news roundup." be sure to check back later for "cbs mornings." reporting from new york city, i'm shanelle kaul. ♪ hello and thanks so much for

watching. i'm shanelle kaul in new york, and here are some of the stories we're tracking on "cbs news roundup." hurricane beryl is blasting through the caribbean. we'll have a complete update with the very latest. more democrats are speaking out, concerned about president joe biden's ability to win the election. and israel signals another possible ground assault in gaza. we begin with the record-breaking hurricane beryl. it weakened on tuesday from a category 5 to a category 4 storm, but it's still packing a powerful punch with winds up to 155 miles per hour. here you can see the storm pounding keir aco-island in grenada. the national weather service says beryl is one for the history books. cbs's tom hanson is in jamaica, where residents there are bracing for the worst. >> reporter: it is sheer destruction across the windward islands. in grenade da, hurricane beryl slammed into the country monday,

packing heavy rain and 150-mile-per-hour winds. 95% of the small island of keir akkuyu now unrecognizable. >> the situation is grim. there is no power. there's almost complete destruction of homes and buildings on the island. >> reporter: beryl made landfall as a category 4 storm, leaving a trail of destruction in st. vincent and the grenadines, ripping homes to shreds. >> hurricane beryl has left in its wake immense destruction. >> reporter: beryl intensified into a monster category 5 hurricane. there's never been a storm this strong this early in the season. unusually warm ocean water in the mid to upper 80s is fueling this massive storm, now taking aim to close to 3 million people in jamaica and the cayman islands. residents on grand cayman waited in lines as long as three hours, stocking up on groceries. and a similar scene in montego bay, jamaica, where people are

snapping up water and other essentials, preparing for beryl's wrath, which could be catastrophic winds and up to a foot of rain. it was a mad dash at montego bay airport as visitors say they're cutting their trip short. >> i'm just thinking about safety, our safety, the safety of my wife, and i'm not the best swimmer, so i need to get out as fast as i can. >> reporter: and cbs news has learned airlines are trying to get people out. among the carriers making accommodations, american airlines added at least three extra flights today. united is giving out flight waivers for travelers impacted and delta has capped fares for folks trying to leave the storm's path. tom hanson, cbs news. >> with the latest on hurricane beryl, where it's headed and what folks can expect, we turn to david parkinson, our krb news senior weather producer. >> schnell, there is a real

serious threat for some of those islands. let's take a look at our radar and show you the storm is beginning to weaken. it was a category 5. it's now a category 4. you're seeing the eye start to disappear a little bit on satellite. that's good. we want to see the storm weaken. but really this thing has been going over incredibly warm water, and that has been its source of fuel. so we're expecting the storm on wednesday to pass by jamaica as a category 3 storm. winds of 125 to 130 miles an hour. then over the caymans thursday morning with winds of about 110 miles an hour, category 2. and then it makes its way close to tulum. that will be friday morning and across eventually the yucatan peninsula and into the bay of campeche. this is the big question is as we project this into sunday, does this storm impact the mainland united states. and at least a quarter of our ensem be computer models say yes it will. so we are not out of the woods here in the united states, but

that wouldn't be until sunday or monday of next week. >> good to know. david parkinson, thank you. there is increasing concern among democrats about president joe biden running for president. biden apologized on tuesday night to supporters for last week's debate, partly blaming back-to-back trips to europe for his lackluster performance. cbs's skyler henry has more from washington. >> reporter: texas congressman lloyd doggett is the first democrat to publicly call for president biden to step down as the party's presumptive nominee following his debate performance. >> we must have the strongest possible candidate, and i don't believe that's joe biden. >> he knows how to do the job, and he knows how to do the job not because he says it, because his record proves it. >> reporter: the white house says biden will meet with democratic governors wednesday and hold a press conference in the coming days. >> we understand. it was a bad night. it is not uncommon for incumbents to have a bad night on their first debate. >> reporter: the president also agreed to his first tv interview

since last week's debate against former president donald trump that sparked major questions about biden's fitness. now democratic lawmakers say they want to know more. >> i need to see him out everywhere, talking unscripted. no teleprompter. >> i expressed horror about both individuals' performance in the debate, both what i called president biden's blips and the foul barrage of lies that trump nonstop emitted. >> reporter: meanwhile, sentencing for trump's hush money convictions was postponed until at least september. the judge in the new york case agreed to weigh the potential impact of monday's supreme court ruling that granted broad immunity protections to presidents. skyler henry, cbs news, washington. turning overseas now to the israel-hamas war. as many as a quarter of a million palestinians in khan younis in the southern gaza strip are being told once again

to leave their homes. israel's military issued the emergency evacuation order on tuesday, and as cbs's holly williams reports, it could indicate another ground assault is on the way. >> reporter: israel's military has ordered a mass evacuation of palestinians from the eastern part of khan younis. that's gaza's second largest city in the southern gaza strip. the evacuation order was sent by an audio message on cell phones and via social media. the united nations says the israeli order will force a quarter of a million people from their homes. the evacuation could indicate another israeli ground assault is imminent, triggered by a barrage of around 20 rockets that israel says palestinian militants fired from khan younis on monday. israeli troops withdrew from the city in april, leaving entire neighborhoods reduced to rubble. the israeli military's return would highlight just how difficult it is to destroy hamas. israel's stated goal in this bloody conflict. with the war now in its ninth

month, some hamas leaders still at large and many israeli hostages still captive, israel's top generals want a cease-fire in gaza even if it keeps hamas in power. that's according to a "new york times" report, which claims there's a deepening rift between israel's military leaders and prime minister benjamin netanyahu. netanyahu refuted that report, saying, quote, we will not capitulate to the whims of defeatism of "the new york times" or anywhere else. we are inspired by the spirit of victory. >> holly williams, thank you. when "cbs news roundup" returns, we'll tell you about new efforts to roll back those change fees that airlines pile change fees that airlines pile on small businesses are the heart of america. but you don't have to go it alone. as the nation's largest nonprofit resource of expert, business mentoring. score has helped millions of entrepreneurs build their businesses, for free. get the connections, education and guidance you need with score.

this holiday week, there's a pretty good chance you'll be paying junk fees. they're the add-ons airlines will charge for things like picking a seat or bringing a carry-on. while the department of transportation now says new transparency rules could save passengers more than half a billion dollars a year. and some airlines are welcoming that change. kris van cleave has more. >> reporter: when darryl plunkett had to change his spirit flight from fort lauderdale to atlanta, he was worried the ultra-low cost airline would hit him with a fee. >> they were flexible. i actually got a credit back. so, i mean, i'll give them their kudos on that. >> reporter: but spirit, known for its a la carte or pay for everything approach to travel, just dropped its change and cancel fees while also upping the wealth for checked bags to the industry standard 50 pounds as it looks to win back flyers. >> we're been evaluating this for quite some time, so it's not something we've just decided to do overnight. and quite frankly, it's something that our customers want. >> reporter: matt klein is spirit's chief commercial

officer. >> what we've seen over time is less people are actually flying on spirit. so we believe the changes we're making, it's not just about the individual who's already flying on our aircraft. it's about attracting new customers. >> reporter: the move comes as bigger airlines are fighting for spirit's cost conscious flyers. its competitor frontier dropped most change and cancel fees while shifting its focus to bundled services. those change and cancel fees generated $150 million for spirit last year, but klein is betting dropping them now will help put the airline on a path to profitability. >> everything we're looking to do right now is to make the guest experience more seamless and give flexibility to our guests. >> right now, spirit and frontier are fighting. they are fighting to stay in business. >> reporter: airline analyst henry harteveldt. >> they are reacting to the changes that larger airlines have made. they've seen that could be a reason why people have avoided flying them, and they're saying, okay.

let's take away that obstacle. >> is this good for consumers, do you think? >> absolutely this is good for consumers. >> reporter: just as the busiest summer travel season ever hits its peak. i'm kris van cleave in phoenix. if you plan on car shopping this holiday week and looking for a fourth of july bargain, you could be out of luck. more than half of all u.s. car dealerships are still struggling with a cyberattack that crippled a key software system and complicated their ability to sell cars. last month alone, jd powers estimates the attack caused retail sales to drop by more than 5% nationwide. anna werner has more. >> reporter: this new jersey lexus dealership shows off its shiny new cars as usual, but owner tom mayoli says the cyberattack has slowed sales. >> how much do you think it might cost you? do you have any sense at all? >> i don't have a number on it yet. we're trying to calculate that. just on the new car sales, we're down 50% this month. >> reporter: many dealerships

like his run with software from company cdk global. the software helps to run service departments, process financing for car purchases, and more. but hackers locked up the system at some 15,000 dealerships nationwide, demanding a ransom reported by bloomberg to be in the millions of dollars to release it. tyson jomny is in with jd power. >> it's the backbone of an automotive dealership. it basically links together all the new vehicle, used vehicle sales along with the finance office, and even down to the service department. so consumers right now may even be having trouble getting oil changes and getting warranty work done at a dealership as a result of this impact. >> reporter: on monday, ernest and louann ien holt came to may olli's lexus dealership to buy a new suv but sat and waited as finance manager tony carlucci, deprived of his usual fast software system, typed in

information by hand, even giving them a paper receipt. >> we didn't expect too much of a delay, but we've been here since -- when? >> about 10-ish. >> 10 this morning. >> and it's now 2:30, quarter to 3:00. since the system has been down, it's been taking at least double the amount of time for us to do everything we need to do. >> cdk global would not say whether it had paid the ransom demanded by the hackers. it told cbs news it's continuing its restoration process and rapidly bringing dealers live on the system and expects all dealer connections to be live by the morning of july 4th. owner may olli says he has no choice but to wait, but says he's losing money in the process. >> but you're still smiling somehow. >> well, you know, what could you do? >> reporter: the ien holtzs waited too until their sales transaction was finished, driving off in that new suv some six hours after they arrived. so what do you do if you're in

the market for a new car and don't want to sit for hours? remember, not all dealerships use this software, so you may be able to find another option for buying a car, or if you're not in a rush, just wait a week or two since cdk global does say it expects to have its systems up and running again by the holiday. anna werner, cbs news, new york. there's a lot more just ahead on "cbs news roundup." i'm jonathan lawson, here to tell you about life insurance through the colonial penn program. if you're age 50 to 85 and looking to buy life insurance on a fixed budget, remember the three p's. what are the three p's? the three p's of life insurance on a fixed budget are price, price, and price. a price you can afford, a price that can't increase, and a price that fits your budget. i'm 54. what's my price?
