phones of criminal suspects. remembering author harper lee, and her american classic. mockingbird. >> pelley: and steve hartman, when a young boy summoned the police, they responded in force. >> i didn't know it was going to be this big, really. captioning sponsored by cbs this is the "cbs evening news" with scott pelley. >> pelley: tomorrow could be a turning point in the race for the white house. democrat hillary clinton, who scweekd by in iowa, only to be buried in a new hampshire landslide, faces even odds against bernie sanders in nevada. ted cruz is closing on republican donald trump, is looking to south carolina for a second win. the rest of the g.o.p. candidates are struggling to keep their campaigns alive. we're going to start with the democrats tonight. here's nancy cordes. >> reporter: with time running out in nevada, clinton courted

>> i did not just wake up one day and say, "oh, my goodness, workers are being mistreated!" >> reporter: while sanders stumped in rural nevada. >> let us go forward together. >> reporter: the state will be the first test of their appeal to minority voters. nevada is more than a quarter latino. clinton has tried to blunt sanders' momentum here by portraying him as one dimensional, focused only on income inequality. what do you think of secretary clinton cawlings you a one-issue candidate? >> obviously, she has not been listening to my how far and a half speech. >> reporter: both are campaigning with one eye on the larger south carolina primary democrats will hold a week from tomorrow. >> she worked to reform juvenile justice in south carolina, exposed racism in alabama schools. >> reporter: clinton released a new ad today narrated by morgan freeman, and she won the

ranking african american in clyburn. >> and i believe that the future of the democratic party and the united states of america will be best served with the experiences and knowhow of hillary clinton as our 45th president. >> reporter: clyburn had been planning to remain publicly neutral in the primary, but he changed his mind, scott, after sanders trounced clinton in new hampshire and pulled even with her here in nevada. tomorrow. nancy cordes, thanks very much. today, major garrett talked with donald trump and asked him the same question that we asked clinton yesterday, "does he subscribe to the truth-telling standard that jimmy carter set in the 1976 campaign when he said, "i will never lie to you?" >> i would be very, very satisfied just to say i don't lie, and, you know, she sort of fudged it a little bit. which i didn't love, but i

i would much rather say i don't lie. you know, one of my problems is i'm straight. i tell it straight. i tell it like it is. >> reporter: we interviewed donald trump before a noon rally in myrtle beach. the crowd of more than 5,000 began arriving at 6:00 a.m. do you ever worry if you're elected president,ul let them down? >> i will be so disappointed in myself. there are so many things to do. our country is so far behind. we owe $19 trillion. we're going to start chopping away at that. no, i don't want to let those people down. >> reporter: do you feel that as a burden, though, if you become president? >> it's a burden. it makes it tougher for me. i don't want to let these people down. >> reporter: a day after calling the pope disgraceful, trump softened his tone. >> well, i think he was in a not as severe as the media let it known. but this morning he was so nice and i really appreciate it. >> reporter: is this an issue for the papacy to get involved

>> look, mexico is ripping off this country, they're ripping us off between the drug trade and the illegal immigration and they said to the pope something and he went out with it. but he didn't know the united states' stand. he didn't know where we are or our people but he was terrific. >> reporter: we also asked about a september 2002 radio where trump said he backed the war with iraq despite saying the opposite on the campaign trail. >> you could see that was a very weak, like-- that was the first the war. un, i'm a businessperson, so they're not asking me about the war. then shortly after that, i started saying-- i started really studying it and looking at it. i didn't like it because you're going to ruin in the balance in the middle east, which is what happened. >> reporter: trump also said he does not believe the most recent poll here showing the race tritening with ted cruz. scott, trump said he expects to win and if the republican field shrinks in the aftermath intends to pick up a good portion of the vote those who quit leave behind.

south carolina is tomorrow, as well. that poll major mentioned shows trump with only a five-point lead over cruz, but other polls show a wider margin for trump. so the real battle is for second place, the trump alternative. and with some insight into that, john dickerson is joining us, the anchor of "face the nation." john. >> scott, ted cruz has been second in the polls to be the first trump alternative. and the electorate in south carolina looks like iowa, state where he won, with about the same number of people who identify as very conservative and evangelical christians. marco rubio, trying to come in second after his fifth-place finish in new hampshire, needs either to come in second or to come in a close third to make his case that he's the mainstream answer to donald trump. for jeb bush and ben carson, this is a make-or-break. bush brought out his mother and his brother to campaign for him this week, and if he has a lacklustre showing the curtain

that's true, also, for carson. john kasich is not expected to do well. his game plan relies on midwestern states like michigan. he just has to hope his rivals don't do too well in south carolina which would make it hard for him to stay in the conversation. >> pelley: the winnowing continues. john dickerson, our political director. thank you. in another story tonight, the justice department asked a federal judge today to force apple to unlock an iphone that belonged to one of the san bernardino terrorists. apple says that if it did, all of its customers would lose their right to privacy. jim axelrod has discovered there are many more of these battles than you might think. >> reporter: the battle over access to the san bernardino shooters' cell phone is far from an isolated case. the manhattan d.a.'s office said it's investigating cases involving 175 apple products with encryption similar to syed

from homicide to child sexual abuse. cyrus vance jr. >> it is very difficult to explain to a victim of crime that we cannot get the evidence that may identify the individual who committed the crime because the cell phone company and designer has decided that they know better. >> reporter: apple c.e.o. tim cook says he's fighting the order to devise a way past the iphone's encryption system to keep his consumers safe. >> but the reality is if you put a backdoor in, that backdoor is for everybody. >> reporter: john miller is deputy commissioner of the n.y.p.d. he says apple could develop a vote codeto break into the phone, get the information it needs, then destroy it. >> tim cook says, "i'm doing this for the safety of my customers," meaning so that we have an impregnable phone. i have to ask-- how many people who died on the floor in san bernardino or in paris had iphones in their pockets as they were being killed by the terrorists? they are tim cook's customers, too. >> reporter: today, a senior

if we break this phone at 8:00 a.m., destroy the code, then at subpoena." but why is apple's cooperation necessary at all? mike morrell is the former number two at the c.i.a. isn't there somebody who currently works for the c.i.a. or the n.s.a. who could do what the government wants apple to do? >> there's been so much advance in the last year, 18 months in the ability to protect information in these kind of devices, that the government has simply fallen behind in its capabilities. >> reporter: the next chapter in the legal battle in this case will unfold march 22. that is when a judge will hear arguments from both sides in a federal government in california. >> pelley: jim, thanks very much. american warplanes bombed an isis camp in libya overnight. about 40 people were killed,

likely among the dead air, tunisian suspected of planning major terrorist attacks attacks in tunisia last year. a limited cease-fire was supposed to quiet the guns today in syria. it didn't. the five-year-old civil war is even more chaotic because some rebel groups backed by the united states are now attacking each other. holly williams has our report. >> reporter: this is the first video evidence that u.s.-backed groups are fighting each other in syria. it appears to show syrian rebels using an american-supplied missile against kurdish fighters, who are also supported by the u.s. the two groups are now battling for the same territory in northern syria. meanwhile, a car bomb in the turkish capital, ankara, on wednesday has brought tensions between the u.s. and its close

the attack on a military convoy killed 28 people and turkey's blaming a kurdish group. the same group that america's backing in syria in the fight against isis. today, the turkish president recep tayyip erdogan, demanded that america declare the kurdish group a terrorist organization. the kurdish group denies any involvement in the bomb, but turkey's anger with the u.s. could have big ramifications for the fight against isis because, scott, the u.s.-led coalition uses a turkish airbase to launch strikes against isis in syria. >> pelley: holly williams, thanks. the show of respect was unanimous today for supreme scalia. hour after hour, mourners filed past his casket in the great hall of the court. prayers were led by his own son,

here's our chief legal correspondent jan crawford. >> reporter: justice scalia arrived at the court for a final time with his former law clerks there to see him up the steps of the institution he served for 30 years. his family looking on. waiting inside the great hall were his fellow justices. >> my brothers and sisters. >> reporter: the service was brief and moving. schae's son, father paul scalia, led the prayersarchs his wife, maureen, and their eight other children and most of their 36 grandchildren flanked the casket. >> we ask this through christ our lord. >> reporter: the justices and their spouses stood silently, their faces etched in grief. none of the eight justices have served on the court without the larger-than-life scalia. his sudden death will upend the court's dynamics and some of his decisions. as the president gets ready to nominate his successor, he took time away from politicking

respects with the first lady. the couple paused as they left the great hall to stand before a painting of scalia. earlier in the afternoon, two of the leading candidates to replace scalia, federal appeals court judges patricia millett, and sri srinivasan, also paid respects. and throughout the day, long lines formed as members of the public waited to go inside, a quiet moment far removed from the brewing battle over the nomination. >> the father, and the son. >> reporter: scalia's death leaves the court divided 4-4, its future hanging in the balance, a family without its patriarch. now, the president and the first lady also met privately with some members of scalia's family. he will not be attending the funeral tomorrow, scott. the vice president gl instead. >> pelley: jan crawford at the court for us tonight. jan, thank you. well, emotions ran high at a hearing for the teen who used an affluenza defense for drunk driving. and president obama says she

we'll be right back. >> pelley: they don't do one thing but sing their hearts out for us. that's why it's a sin to kill a mockingbird. the writer of that classic line and novel harper lee died last night at the age of 89, a woman who, like her character, boo

the small world where she was born, monroeville, alabama. anthony mason has her story. >> reporter: when president bush awarded her the medal of freedom in 2007, harper lee had published only one novel, but it was a giant. "to kill a mockingbird" won a pulitzer prize in 1961, spent 88 weeks atop the bestseller list, and became an oscar-winning film. >> scout. >> reporter: set in depression-era alabama, it's a story seen through the eyes of young scout finch, whose father atticus, defends a black man falsely accused of raping a white woman. >> what happened to you on the evening of august 21 of last year. >> reporter: nelle harper lee grew up in scout's world as she described in 1964.

next. it's easy to love your laxative when that lax loves your body back. only miralax hydrates, easeand softens to unblock naturally, so you have peace of mind from start to finish. love your laxative. miralax. i sure had a lot on my mind when i got out of the hospital after a dvt blood clot. what about my family? my li'l buddy? and what if this happened again? i was given warfarin in the hospital but i wondered if this was the right treatment for me. then my doctor told me about eliquis. eliquis treats dvt and pe blood clots and reduces the risk of them happening again. not only does eliquis treat dvt and pe blood clots, but eliquis also had significantly less major bleeding than the standard treatment. knowing eliquis had both... turned around my thinking. don't stop eliquis unless your doctor tells you to. eliquis can cause serious and in rare cases fatal bleeding. don't take eliquis if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. if you had a spinal injection while on eliquis

numbness, or muscle weakness. while taking eliquis, you may bruise more easily... and it may take longer than usual for bleeding to stop. seek immediate medical care for sudden signs of bleeding, like unusual bruising. eliquis may increase your bleeding risk if you take certain medicines. tell your doctor about all planned medical or dental procedures. eliquis treats dvt & pe blood clots. plus had less major bleeding. both made switching to eliquis right for me. ask your doctor if it's right for you. i built my business with passion. but i keep it growing by making every dollar count. that's why i have the spark cash card from capital one. i earn unlimited 2% cash back on everything i buy for my studio. and that unlimited 2% cash back from spark means thousands of dollars each year going back into my business... that's huge for my bottom line. what's in your wallet?

be a police officer, asked his mom, marcella, if he picked the wrong profession. >> he goes, "mom, the cops are still the good guys, right?" i said, "yup, there are some bad police officers and there are still the good ones who are trying to protect themselves." >> reporter: jeremie got that but he still dwnt like the idea of the good booing lumped in with the bad and he told his mom for the next birthday all he wanted was to throw a thank you party for police, assuming they would come. i mean, i thought maybe there would be three or foreguys here. >> yeah, me, too. >> reporter: you, too? >> i didn't know it was going to be this big, really. >> happy birthday to you. >> reporter: once word got out, more than 100 officers responded. >> how are you! >> reporter: and not just from lancing but from all over the state of michigan. >> thanks again. >> deputy james revell drove here from georgia. >> i just want to say thank you for doing all that you do for us. >> you're welcome. >> because he saw not every police officer is bad. >> thank you.

what he sees in us. >> there's one person that really recognizes what we truly are out here to do. >> there just aren't kid like that. >> reporter: gary hall flew in from los angeles. >> i have to tell you, jeremie, how much this really means to us, and how... how humble you are. >> reporter: the kid had no idea the depth of their gratitude. >> thank you. >> reporter: but he was about to find out. >> you're a good boy. >> thank you. ( applause ) >> reporter: see, to help make all this happen, jeremie not only gave up his party but his presents as well. so in appreciation for that sacrifice, the lancing police department made him an honorary member of their force. >> we also have a hat for you. >> reporter: gave him a real uniform, right down to the badge. >> so i'm going to pin this badge on you, okay? >> okay. >> reporter: last year at this time, jeremie wasn't sure he wanted to be a cop, but now he

if you pull me over, i get out of my speeding ticket. and incorruptible. >> probably not. >> reporter: steve hartman, "on the road" in lancing, michigan. >> pelley: and that's the cbs evening news for tonight. for all of us at cbs news, all around the world, good night. announcer: you're watching kcci 8 news. steve: the city of johnston lost its bid to become the new company headquarters for dow, dupont, pioneer. what that means for the hundreds of employees now working at the johnston facility. stacey: wind gusts strong enough to blow over a semi-truck this

when the winds will died down, and how long the warmth will last. steve: and putting criminals in the shoes of their victims, why the state ended its victim impact program. good evening. thanks for joining us. the state of iowa's attempt to become home of the new dow-dupont corporation has failed. stacey: the new company chose wilmington, delaware instead. so, what does that move mean for the 3000 jobs the company currently has at its dupont-pioneer plant? we have team coverage. beginning with kcci's cynthia fodor, live outside pioneer. cynthia: there were two announcements today. first, the bad news is that the new corporate headquarters will not be moving here to iowa. but the good news is that this campus will remain a very active part of the new company, which will be called dow-dupont. what we've known as dupont-pioneer will become the new dow-dupont global center for seed and biotechnology business. mayor deirenfeld: wilmington

and they saw the workforce, employees, and the facilities and iowa. i think they just immediately thought, we can't walk away from this. cynthia: johnston mayor paula deirenfeld was part of an iowa delegation fighting to make this historic, central iowa facility a central part of the new company, which will become the largest agricultural business in the united states. but about 175 jobs have already been slashed in the restructuring. mayor deirenfeld: in the short-term, you'll see a little shake out, as they put the merger in place. so there may well be some additional job loss. but over the long-term, next 3-5 years, we'll see jobs increase. cynthia: the iowa department of economic development today approved $16 million in tax benefits and financial assistance to retain 500 research jobs. johnston city council also added another $1 million incentive package. the company said in december it would cut 10% of the global
