with the rescuers and others before nightfall was closing in. >> both of them are upset. they appear to be physically and mentally exhausted, chi think is a normal reaction to an event like today. >> a woman who couldn't walk or move when they found her had to be taken down by a rope and a sled 600 feet at a time. >> the ice conditions were really challenging, rock fall and hazard and what not. >> crews say warmer weather contributed to the snow and ice melt which led to falling debris and dangerous conditions. and mt. hood is no stranger to tragedy involving climbers, anne-marie. four people perished there just last year. >> hena doba here in new york. thank you so much, hena. professional golfer bill hoss is in serious condition. hoss was a passenger in a ferrari that crossed the median last night, hit another car, kept going, sideswiped an suv

who have been abused to come out and make sure their stories are heard and believed. >> reporter: the fbi did confirm today that it was in the hands of someone at the white house all the way back in november. the big question now is who. chip reid, cbs news, the white house. on capitol hill, u.s. intelligence heads warned of russian intervention in the upcoming elections. dan coats says the united states is under attack. coats told the senate intelligence committee that he's already seen evidence that russia is targeting november's elections. >> we need to inform the american public this is real, this is going to happen, and the resilience for us to stand up and say we're not going to allow some russian to tell us how to vote, how to run our country. i think there needs to be a national cry for that. >> the intelligence chief says

russia will try to interfere by using social media to spread propaganda and misleading reports as it does in 2016. president trump has cast doubt that russia meddled in the 2016 election that got him elected. a high-ranking police officer was shot and killed as he confronted a suspect downtown. commander paul bauer was killed. he was attending an unrelated event when he received a radio call. he chased the suspect who was running from other officers, got into a struggle and was shot several times. police arrested the suspect and recovered a weapon. overseas prime minister benjamin netanyahu has no plans to step down despite a police recommendation that he be indicted on corruption charges. in a televised speech last night, netanyahu vowed to fight. he calls the charges a witch hunt. following a year-long

gusts up to 45 miles per hour have disrupted or postponed numerous events including the women's slalom, which has now been pushed back twice. british snowboarder amy fuller had a tough time during her slope style runs this week. >> as i was in the air, this gust just took me and swept me from under my feet and i'm happy to be in one piece. i had a pretty heavy slam on the last run. >> reporter: fuller said she feared for her safety. others expressed their same concerns. not a single snowboarder completed error-free runs. >> no athlete is forced to go down and compete. that's the first thing i want to make clear. >> reporter:al pine skiing began after two days of opponents. downhill skiers started lower down the course to avoid some of the fiercest winds. >> we're 1,100 meters or 3,800 feet. the area is under a siberian

pressure system and that swoops in this cold dry air and that creates the game-changing winds and windchills we're seeing. >> reporter: even with numerous postponements already, organize ores see no reason to hold events if the whether is questionable. >> if the wind continues to blow for the next 14 days, that might be a problem. >> reporter: the winds can whip up almost any time. skier mikaela shiffrin and her coach both addressed the postponement. they said's just part of an outdoor sport. they said the pertinent thing is that it takes place under fair conditions, which is not what we saw today. >> indeed. thank you so much, dana. coming up, porn star payout. new details about who paid the adult actress who claims she once had an affair with donald trump.
