donald trump finishes first in south carolina. emotional farewell to supreme court justice antonin scalia. the harrowing final words from the doomed ship "el faro." >> the clock is ticking. >> axelrod: and a suburban village deploying big-city surveillance tactics. is this the town that knows too much? captioning sponsored by cbs this is the "cbs evening news." >> axelrod: good evening. i'm jim axelrod. and this is our of a western edition of the broadcast. in the first southern contest of campaign 2016, donald trump won the republican primary in south carolina. about 2600 miles away in the first western contest of the year, hillary clinton won the democratic caucuses in nevada. we'll have more on the democrats in just a moment, but first, let's go to major garrett, who is covering the republican race for us tonight and is in

>> reporter: jim, donald trump has now won two primaries, new hampshire and south carolina, that have historically propelled republicans to the party nomination and in some cases, the presidency. now, nothing is certain in this campaign. what we don't know is trump encountered the most consistent and withering criticism during the week in this state questioning his conservatism and his temperament for the presidency, tv ads, robo calls, direct mail pieces and broadsides from his republican rivals all across the state. and guess what? he still emerged the winner, with his constituency and hez message intact. here's some interesting data from the exit polls. they show that trump won in three crucial categories-- who can handle the economy, who was an agent of change, and who could embody voter anger with washington. every case, jim, trump one these by two to one, in some cases, by

lastly, trump surprisingly won among evangelical christians, a large voting bloc in south carolina, thought to be a prime ted cruz constituency. for cruz, millions spent and many conservatives mobilized but all it gained him was a tight battle for second with marco rubio. rubio had the endorsements of governor nikki haley and the rest of the state's tea party-aligned establishment, but this night belonged to donald trump, a campaign that has no pollster, and has no senior strategist, it has trump air, few boil aides, an instinct and a work class message that not only captivated those voters and brought them into the process but also captivated many other republicans as well. >> axelrod: all right, major, so let's look ahead. mr. trump will have the nevada caucuses on tuesday, and then supered it a week from then. how does today set him up for the next week and a half or so? >> reporter: it creates momentum, jim. primary victories give people in

encouragement to vote for the front-runner. in politics, momentum is enthusiastic, and it is infectious. and the trump campaign is going to say, "i told you we'd win. we're winning now. get on the bandwagon and we'll keep winning." he's well positioned for nevada and certainly well positioned for the march 1 super tuesday primaries. >> axelrod: major garrett in south carolina, thank you. on the democratic side, hillary clinton is the winner of today's nevada caucuses. nancy cordes is at clinton campaign headquarters in las vegas. nancy. >> reporter: jim, this is a huge relief for the clinton camp after a brutal loz in new hampshire about a week and a half ago. here at caesar's palace, clinton told cheering supporters that some may have doubted us, but we never doubt each other. >> i want to thank each and every one of you. you turned out in every corner of the state with determination and purpose, hotel and casino

tens of thousands of men and women with kids to raise, bills to pay, and dreams that won't die. this is your campaign. and it is -- >> reporter: senator sanders conceded but said he believes he has a good chance to win a number of states on super tuesday, march 1. >> a little while ago, i called up secretary clinton and congratulated her and her staff with a victory here in nevada. they ran a very aggressive, effective campaign, and i applaud them for their efforts. >> reporter: clinton really barnstormed the las vegas strip over the past couple of days, meeting with dishwashers and casino workers and maids. at a caucus here at caesar's palace today, in fact, we met a maid who had spoken to clinton

women, in fact, were instrumental, jim, in clinton's win here. they broke for her 57% to 41%. and that was a big turnaround from new hampshire, where she lost among women by 11 points. older voters were another key to her victory. voters over 45 went for clinton 66% to 31%. sanders, as he has before, dominated with younger voters. he won them by a whopping 47 points. and, interestingly, he also bested clinton among latino voters who she has been courting here for over a year. but she dominated among african americans and that is a big sign of relief for the clinton campaign which is anthrax keep its african american coalition together in south carolina, where democrats hold their primary a week from today,im. >> axelrod: nancy cordes with the victorious clinton campaign in las vegas. thank you, nancy. for more on this big night in presidential politics, let's go back to bob schieffer in south carolina. bob, let's start with hillary

way. does her win in nevada today steady her ship? >> reporter: well, i think at least it is no longer taking on water. some people were saying during the middle of the week she might actually lose out there in nevada. she didn't. it wasn't a win by as much as the clinton people would probably have hoped for. but i think it is a win, and it will give her a little bump going into south carolina, where she is a heavy favorite because of the large african american vote, to beat bernie sanders. so she's still-- she's still churning along here. >> axelrod: bob, you've been doing this a long time. have you ever seen anything like donald trump? >> reporter: no. short answer, no. but i'll tell you what, he didn't win down here by as much as some people thought he was going to win. had he won by, say, 20 points or something, i think he would be en route to getting the republican nomination. but what we've got here is the three-man race now.

side is marco rubio is back in the game after his early stumbles. ted cruz is still in there. i think there's some hard decisions that are going to have to be made now in the next few days by jeb bush and his people. does he stay in now or does he fold his tent? that we'll find out in the next couple of days. >> axelrod: bob schieffer, as always, thank you so much for your insight. a week after he died while vacationing in texas, supreme court justice antonin scalia was laid to rest today after his funeral in washington. our chief legal correspondent jan crawford was there. >> reporter: the bells tolled 79 times for justice scalia, one for each year of his life, as his casket was carried into the basilica.nt thousands of mourners gathered to pay final respects for a legal giant, the court's most influential conservative voice.s >> let us pray. >> reporter: scalia's son, the

mass, delivering a moving andg personal homily. >> but more important to us and to him, he was dad. sure, he forgot our names at times or mixed them up. ( laughter ) but there are nine of us. ( laughter ) he loved us. and sought to show that love. >> reporter: with those memories, there was humor.el >> he had found himself in my confessional line. ( laughter ) and he quickly departed it. ( laughter )to as he put it later, "like heck if i'm confessing to you." >> reporter: all eight justices were in attendance. justice clarence thomas, thece only justice to speak, read scripture from the book of

>> because the love of god has poured out into our hearts. >> reporter: it was the second day of official mourning for scalia, who lay in repose friday r at the supreme court.e people were still waiting ino line late friday night to pay respects to a man who left a lasting imprint on the law and whose sudden death leaves a void on the court that will be difficult to fill. now, justice scalia's burial was t private, and by tomorrow, with the end of the official mourning, washington will immediately turn its focus on to the battle over his successor. jim. >> axelrod: jan, thank you. now to the clash between apple and the f.b.i. this week, apple announced itur would fight a court order to b unlock an iphone belonging to one of the san bernardino terrorists, citing privacy concerns. c let's bring in cbs news business analyst jill schlesinger. a lot of angles to this story, jill. let's look at the business angleco and what this could mean toan apple's brand. >> reporter: you know, it's amazing. apple fans, they are so loyal. we look at marketing surveys, and they say, "part of the

of the privacy." right after this thing wentus public, we saw twitter light up with people saying, "thank you, apple," with a special hashtag. this is part of apple's brand promise-- privacy, security. and i think that's part of the battle. p >> axelrod: new york police d department deputy commissioner john miller said yesterday, hang on, there were iphones in the pockets of people killed in california and in paris as well. so in a way, this is also a lose-lose for apple. >> reporter: absolutely. in fact we know that john's boss, mr. bratton, the commissioner, said this was. corporate irresponsibility. and i think apple is a little bit concerned because they may make people upset about, "hey,ou why aren't you complying?al this is national security." but, on the other hand, again, this is part of the promise. and, frankly, what if thesend people get upset and say, "hey, apple's not going to do this. we'll go somewhere else. maybe another company will do it."yb >> axelrod: steve jobs, apple's founder, famously apolitical. tim cook, the current c.e.o., not so much, playing it very differently. s >> reporter: yes, very

part of the dialogue in politics. came out as gay in 2014, very supportive of l.g.b.t. issues, very supportive of environmental issues. i think he believes this is partth of his legacy, a moral legacy at apple. and what's going to be interesting is to see whether that helps him sell more iphones s and macs. >> axelrod: fascinating, jill schlesinger, thank you. >> reporter: thank you. tonight, the people in the south pacific nation of fiji are recovering from the first category 5 cyclone ever to hit there. at least one person has died. more now from carter evans. >> reporter: with gusts up to 224 miles per hour, winston mayo be the most powerful cyclonewi ever in the southern hemisphere. as it slammed into the islandti nation, fiji's prime ministerin took to social media with a warning. a >> it's as big and as bad as it gets.he and it's currently the biggest storm in the world. >> reporter: sustained winds
