di't have walls, you woenlt ha wouldn't have a country. >> the president wants $5.7 billion to build 234 miles of wall. over the weekend, the white house requested an additional $7 billion for more immigration judges, border agents, medical supplies and detention facilities. most illegal crossers are families and children. two of whom have died in border patrol custody. >> i may declare a national emergency. >> the president has not made a decision about declaring a national emergency which may allow him to use military funds for wall construction. the president allowed democratic leaders to come back to the white house at any time to continue discussions. but democrats are pier ppear un. nancy pelosi wants to reopen the government before any more

discussion. >> if the president of the united states is against governance and doesn't care whether people's needs are met or that public employees are paid or that we can have a legitimate discussion, then we have a problem and we have to take it to the american people. >> the administration has extended a separate invitation to republican and democratic leaders to come here to the white house to talk to the president before he addresses the nation tomorrow night but at this point, there's nothing to suggest even the possibility of a breakthrough. >> most americans may not feel the pinch of the partial government shutdown. especially if the irs is able to start issuing tax refunds but trying to get through the security gate at airports around the country could become a problem soon. ages are about to their first paycheck and there's fears that some of them may start calling in sick. >> flyers had to wait in nearly hour long security lines. the tsa blamed a higher than

expected number of travellers coupled with mismanaged resources for delays. but the agency is worried lines will get longer if they call out sick due to the on going government shutdown. friday's payroll deadline when they'll miss their first paychecks could be a tipping point. many of the 51,000 screeners cannot afford to miss a check and officials fear they may not come to work. any security delays could mean missed flights for passengers. >> i appreciate them still coming to work and hanging in there. i have a daughter going back to college. so if they weren't on their job, i'd have to drive to nashville tennessee. >> air traffic controllers are also working without pay and ntsb investigators aren't able to deploy to accidents like last week's pla crash mich. >>ntsb we contacted and they're not coming. >> they can only be called back to work if there's a reasonable likelihood of a life threatening safety issue. >> each day thatreot on the job, the risk factor goes

up. >> furloughed faa inspector can't do his safety focus job either. >> when people board the aircraft. we don't care who they are. if they're democrats or republicans, they don't care what minority they are, what religion they go to, we're there to ensure that aircraft is as safe as possible for them. >> president trump's timetable from pulling troops out of syria has gone from 30 days to four months and now there's no date at all. >> reporter: although president trump insisted today he hasn't changed his mind about pulling troops out of syria, the new timetable for their withdrawal is dramatically different. first it was 30 days. then 120. now it's open ended. that became clear when national security adviser john bolton met withetanyahu over the weekend to discuss it. des not

revive itself. >> meaning the creation of enough local security to prevent isis from ever staging a come back. as the president himself put it -- >> we won't be pulled out until isis is done. >> that's different from 18 days ago when he declared victory over twitter. >> so our boys, our young women, our men, they're all coming back and they're coming back now. >> that decision triggered the resignation of his defense secretary james mattis that said that the president's snap decision to abandon allies on the field on battle. fighting continues as u.s. backed forces close in capturing at least one american in the process. according to this letter, he offered to teach english in the islamic state. instead, he was apparently thrown into the front lines. >> clark is now one of more than 700 foreign fighters captured

and held by u.s. backed rces. if t u.s. were to pull out abruptly all of those fighters would almost certainly be released an be able to return to the battlefield. >> actor kevin spacey is not in jail this morning. he pleaded not guilty to a charge of groping a busboy at a massachusetts bar. that happened two years ago. it's the first criminal case against kevin spacey. >> he walked into a packed courtroom today to face a charge of indecent assault and battery on an 18-year-old. he quitely stood up a his attorney entered a not guilty plea. >> actor kevin spacey sexually assaulted my son. >> in 2017, former boston electrical the vision anchor accused spacey of groping her son. the

alleged victim told authorities spacey bought him nearly a dozen drinks and then touched his private area. during a recent court hearing, one officer was questioned by spacey's attorney about the video. >> what the video shows is a person's handmade contact with the shirt, correct? >> yes. >> okay. not any body part. >> correct, you don't see any body parts. >> there's multiple investigations into allegations that spacey sexually assaulted other men. some of which spacey has denied. cbs legal analyst. >> the prosecution surely has enough evidence to go forward. that doesn't necessarily mean that ultimately they may win. >> and you trusted me even though you knew you shouldn't. >> last month on the same day that prosecutors announced the felony charge against spacey, he posted this bizarre video on youtube. >> i know what you want. you want me back.

>> spacey's attorney is due back >> spacey's attorney is due back in court in march, but spacey ok i'll admit. i didn't keep my place as clean as i would like 'cuz i'm way too busy. who's got the time to chase around down dirt, dust and hair? so now, i use heavy duty swiffer sweeper and dusters. for hard-to-reach places, duster makes it easy to clean. it captures dust in one swipe. ha! gotcha! and (new) sweeper heavy duty cloths lock away a twice as much dirt and dust. it gets stuff deep in the grooves other tools can miss. you know what? my place is a lot cleaner now. stop cleaning. start swiffering.

this is the cbsovernight news. >> despite the shutdown, the 116th congress likes to say it's open for business and it includes the biggest class of female members in history. there's one freshman representative from new york city that's been getting the lying share of attention. her name is alexandria cortes. >> people say you don't understand how the game is played, do you? >> i think it's really great for people to keep thinking that. >> you want folks to underestimate you? >> absolutely. that's why i won my primary. >> winning that primary shocked the democratic establishment and

in november she became the youngest woman ever elected to congress. >> we have made history tonight. >> just a few days later, as soon as she got to washington, she paid a visit to climate change activists occupying her party leader nancy pelosi's office. she was the only newly elected member of congress that decided to drop by and she called on pelosi to create a select commitment on climate change without any members of congress that accept money from the fossil fuel industry. >> nancy pelosi is incredibly powerful. >> she is. >> you're occupying her office. >> i could have thrown up that morning i was so nervous. but i kept coming back to the idea that what they're fighting for wasn't wrong and i had also sat down with leader pelosi beforehand and she told me her story. she came from activism and i

knew that she would absolutely understand how advocacy can change the needle on really important issues. >> she and her allies managed to get more than 40 members of congress to support the climate committee. >> good morning. >> house speaker nancy pelosi agreed to create it, but it's not nearly what she had in mind. she granted the committee limited powers and did not ban members that take money from the fossil fuel industry. >> it was an early lesson in congressional politics. and another one came when she defied pelosi and voted against the speaker's new house rules but was not joined by many other progressive democrats. she told us, she is determined to keep fighting for what's being called a green new deal. a highly ambitious, some would say unrealistic proposal that would convert the entire u.s. economy to renewable sources of energy in 12 years while

guaranteeing every american a job at a fair wage. >> you're talking about zero carbon emissions, no use of fossil fuels within 12 years. >> that's the goal. it's ambitious. >> how is that possible? >> you're talking about everybody having to drive an electric car? >> it's going to require a lot of rapid change that we don't even conceive as possible right now. what is the problem with trying to push our technological capacities to the furthest extent possible? >> this would require raising taxes. >> there's an element, where, yeah, people are going to have to start paying their fair share. >> do you have a specific on the tax rate? >> you look at our tax rates back in the 60s and when you have a progressive tax rate system your tax rate, let's say from 0 to $75,000 may be 10% or 15%, et cetera. but once you get to like the tippy tops on your 10 millionth

dollar sometimes you see them as high as 60 or 70%. that doesn't mean all $10 million are taxed at an extremely high rate, but it means that as you climb up this ladder, you should be contributing more. >> what you are talking about, just big picture is a radical agenda compared to the way politics is done right now. >> well, i think that it only has ever been radicals that have changed this country. abraham lincoln made the radical decision to sign the emancipation proclamation. franklin d. rosevelt embarked on programs like social security. >> do you call yourself a radical? >> yeah. if that's what radical means, call me a radical. >> hello. >> she doesn't seem to be viewed as a radical by her constituents in new york 14, the racially diverse, liberal and reliably democratic congressional district that includes queens and the bronx. she was born in the bronx.

her parents had met in puerto rico. her father owned a small architectural business. her mother cleaned houses to help make ends meet. by the time she was ready for preschool, her parents made a down payment on a small house. it was 30 miles and a world away from her family still living in the bronx. >> what brought your parents here? >> schools. my mom wanted to make sure that i had a solid chance and a solid education. >> did you feel like you were living two different worlds? >> yeah. and just growing up that way and with my cousins that are all my age too feeling like we had all had different opportunities depending on where he were physically located. >> she did well in school and with the help of scholarships, loans and financial aid attended boston university. her sophomore year, her father died of cancer. >> we were really working on the

classic american dream. and overnight it was all taken away. my mom was back to cleaning homes and driving school buses to keep a roof over our heads. >> she moved back to the bronx after graduating college and spent the next few years working as a community organizer and advocate for children's literacy. in may of 2017, the one bedroom apartment she shares with her boyfriend, became her makeshift campaign headquaters as she launched a seemingly improbable run for congress. she was working as a waitress and bartender at the time. like many members of her generation, she says she had student loans to pay and no health insurance. >> i really understood the frustration that working people had across the political spectrum. when anybody is saying the economy is going great, we are at record levels, there's a

frustration that says, well, the economy is good for who. >> unemployment is at record lows. >> i don't think that that tells the whole story. when you can't provide for your kids, working a full time job, working two full time jobs, when you can't have health care, that is not dig anified. >> a group of bernie sanders supporters encouraged her to run for office and gave her training and support. she built a grass roots coalition that took on the democratic machine by going door to door, arguing that she could represent the district better than a ten-term incumbent that spent most of his time in washington. >> please welcome. >> her victory made national news and she soon had a higher media profile than many veteran lawmakers. some saw arty. house democratic leader nancy

peolsi drew a more limited conclusion. >> they made a choice in one district. so let's not get yourself carried away. >> but president trump rarely missed a chance to suggest that all democrats were socialists and would lead the country to ruin. >> venezuela. how does that sound? do you like venezuela. >> when people hear the word socialism, they think, so cuba, venezuela, is that what you have in mind? >> of course not. what we have in mind, and my policies most closely resemble what we see in the u.k., in norway, in finland, in sweden. >> how are you going to pay for all of this? >> no one asks how we're going to pay for the space force. no one asked how we pay for a $2 trillion tax cut. we only ask how we pay for it on issues of housing, health care, and education? how do we pay for it? with the same exact mechanisms that we pay for military increases, for the space force,

for all of these ambitious policies. >> there are democrats obviously that are worried about your effecting the party. chris coons said if the next two years is a race to offer increasingly unrealistic proposals it will be difficult for us to make a credible case we'll be able to govern again. >> what makes it unrealistic? >> how to pay for it. >> we pay more per capita than many other nations. so for me, what's unrealistic is what we're living in right now. >> since the election, some conservative media outlets have focused on her with an intensity unusual for a rookie member of congress. >> her views, her policy positions are actually down right scary. >> she has been accused of being dishonest about the true cost of her proposals and the tax burden they would impose on the middle class. she's also been criticized for making mistakes. >> one of the criticisms of you

is that your math is fuzzy. the washington post awarded you four pinocchios for mistaking pentagon spending. >> if they want to blow up one figure here i would argue they're missing the forest for the trees. there's a lot of people more concerned about being precisely, factually and semantically correct than about being morally right. >> if you'd like to see the full report, it's on our

(vo) my digestive system used to make me feel sluggish. but those days are over. now, i take metamucil every day. it naturally traps and removes the waste that weighs me down, so i feel lighter. try metamucil and begin to feel what lighter feels like. take the metamucil two week challenge and lighten up. just take metamucil every day for two weeks. are you ready for the challenge? get started at metamucil.com. well, how ari dunno.ssage chairs woi'm still a little stressed about buying our new house. well, it's a good thing we don't have to worry about homeowners insurance. geico can help with that. we can get homeowners insurance help from geico? well, sure. and they could save us a bunch too. mmhmm? i'm starting to feel better already. get to know geico and see how much you could save on

homeowners and condo insurance.

so you may have heard about the plan to clean up a huge garbage patch floating off the coast of california. it's not working out as planned. carter evans tells us what's gone wrong and what's coming next. >> four months after setting sail from san francisco, it appears the ocean may have been too much for the device designed to clean it. the 24-year-old dutch inventer says the system existing of a massive fight and underwater skirt is now being towed back to port after the crew discovered a 60 foot section of the boom broke off. >> what we saw last week is what is likely caused by what is called fatigue. our system has been moving up and down in big waves around 1.5 million times. and that's what is likely caused

this fracture. >> we first met him in september just before the launch. >> are you sure it will work? >> no, we'll see in the coming currants to skim plastic off the surface and pr lears wil travel allowing the trash back into the ocean. it managed to collect 4,500 pounds of plastic in it's run far from his goal of 2,200 pounds per week. % >> my hope now is that after having several months of experience and two failures that they would step back and see is there a better use for this device. can we modify the design and capture plastics before they enter the ocean. >> despite the set backs, do you think this is a viable system. >> first of all, i think we are quite close to making it work. i don't think we have much

choice. this plastic doesn't go away by itself. >> he says after repairs the

nasa is employing some of its high-tech weapons in the battle against climate change. he took a flight to the southern continent with operation ice bridge. >> this is not a joyride over spectacular scenery. this is a low level in a new kind of information war. nasa is here in antarctica gathering ammunition, otherwise known as scientific data in the battle over climate change. >> basically, we need to know what's happening to the climate. >> john has been flying these missions since they started ten years ago. >> we already know that large parts of antarctica have been thinning a whole lot.

not only that, but they're poised to thin in a faster rate at the future and much, much faster than we're currently seeing. >> these flights are part of the annual antarctic campaign. using an old dc8 jammed with the newest scientific instruments and the scientists to run them. they fly at just 1,500 feet using lasers, radar, photography and gravity sensors to measure the volume and the mass of the ice. instruments that tell scientists what is happening below. >> presently the ice sheet is discharging more than two olympic sized swimming pools worth of ice into the ocean every second. >> every second. >> every second. >> at that rate, it's now feared antarctica alone could cause as much as six inches of sea level rise this century. making flooding in places like miami or new orleans or new york

worse and much more frequent. why is that happening? it may look cold down there but the seas are warming. this expansive icebergs and thin ice used to be a solid ice shelf holding back a glacier until warmer water broke it up. >> the rate increases overall. >> that is now racing into the ocean at twice the speed. >> this plane is doing somef the hottest climate science on the planet in the coldest place on earth and the general conclusion after a decade is that what used to stay frozen and permanent is now fluid and changing. >> and changing fast. mark phillips, cbs news over antarctica. >> thank you, mark. that's the overnight news for this tuesday. i'm at the cbs news broadcast
