we're going to check his deals. we're going to check--" these people are sick. >> reporter: nadler's committee, house judiciary, is also the committee that would oversee any impeachment proceedings. nadler said it's too early to talk impeachment, and that what he's focused on right now is looking into presidential actions, jeff, that fall outside the special counsel's jurisdiction, but may still have broken laws and norms. >> nancy cordes, thanks very much. one of every six adults will have depression at some point in their life. this effects 16 million

americans every year. >> 37-year-old michael is a newly wed with a new home. it's a far cry from earlier years spent battling depression. >> you don't feel anything positive. you don't feel anything good. it was a struggle. it was an absolute struggle. >> reporter: antidepressants didn't help enough. then, in a 2017 clinical trial, wurst was given six weekly infusions of ketamine, a rapid-acting anesthetic that's been used illegally as a party drug known as "special k." by the fourth treatment... >> it was like this weight in my head was lifted. it just disappeared. it dissipated. and i got to experience life again. >> reporter: the drug, "s. ketamine," is a nasal spray form of ketamine. it would be only be used for treatment-resistant depression, that's when at least two medications fail to work, and it occurs in about 30% of people with major depression. >> we found in our first study of ketamine, the patients started feeling better within a few hours.

>> reporter: dr. dennis charney has spent two decades studying ketamine. his patent was licensed to janssen, the maker of s. ketamine, and he will share in any profits. and this is an entirely new approach to treating depression, right? >> exactly. the case can be made that the available drugs have been available since 1960. there hasn't been a novel mechanism for the treatment of depression until ketamine. >> no matter how much i built myself up to have a future before, i still felt like it was robbed from me. where now i actually have a future and i can look forward to it. >> reporter: dr. jon lapook, cbs news, new york. >> actor luke perry died today in los angeles. best known for his breakout role in "beverly hills 90210," perry suffered a massive stroke last week. he was just 52 years old.

triggered tributes on social media from past and current costars. while his years of playing the teenage bad boy were behind him, perry's career continued as the dad of archie andrews on the show "riverdale." a revival of the original "beverly hills 90210" had just been announced on the day perry was hospitalized. perry's biggest turn as an actor may happen after his death, when he appears on the big screen this summer in the new quentin tarantino movie, but, to many, he will always be remembered as dylan mckay. now, according to sources, perry never regained consciousness in the hospital after his initial stroke. he passed away surrounded by his children, jack and sophie, and extended family. jeff? >> kevin frazier, thank you very much for that report tonight. still ahead here from alabama, as you hear the chainsaws begin what is going to be such a long clean-up process, for some who survived, a few inches made all the difference.

they were arrested sunday morning in texas near the u.s. border amid fears the two would try to cross into mexico. mayor catherine pugh had called keith smith in december to express her condolences. were there signs looking back that maybe he wasn't telling the truth? >> there were conversations that were had. i always tell people that the streets talk. the streets always talk. >> reporter: the victim's mother, anna trisvane, says she doubted keith's story from the beginning. >> i'm saying it was phony. i knew it was phony. she had everything. he had nothing. and i guess maybe that's what he wanted, you know, to take everything that she had. >> reporter: the case drew national attention to a city struggling with a crime and image problem. even oprah winfrey weighed in on twitter saying, "the story struck my heart." do you feel like it was a black eye on baltimore city? >> absolutely. >> reporter: smith leaves behind two sons. police are not discussing a possible motive at this time. now, interestingly enough, her husband came to city hall after her death to meet with the mayor, jeff. he was pushing legislation to make panhandling a crime.

this is the cbs overnight news. >> welcome to the overnight news. president trump says he plans to operate with the requests from the senate judiciary committee. his aids and family members, his campaign and businesses. committee chairman gerald nadler insists it's not the start of an impeachment. president trump insists it's all a ho. there'no con >> reporter: president trump shrugged off the democratic move today, but its scope was

sweeping. 81 individuals and institutions, a who's who of trump world, were given two weeks to hand over financial documents, e-mails, and memos, anything related to, among other things, russian loans and investments, presents from foreign governments, the firing of f.b.i. director james comey, and hush money payments to two or more women. >> are you going to cooperate with mr. nadler? >> i cooperate all the time with everybody. and you know the beautiful thing? no collusion. >> reporter: the request, backed by subpoena power, went out from house judiciary chairman jerry nadler to the president's sons, his 2016 campaign officials, current and former white house aides, executives from trump organization, and some associates who have already been charged with crimes. nadler told all of them he is investigating "allegations of obstruction of justice, public corruption, and other abuses of power." >> it's very clear that the president obstructed justice. it's very clear. 1,100 times he referred to the

mueller investigation as a witch hunt. >> reporter: republicans argue democrats are just "hedging their bets" in case special counsel robert mueller comes up empty handed. the president made a similar charge this weekend. >> so now they go and morph into "let's inspect every deal he's ever done. we're going to go into his finances. we're going to check his deals. we're going to check--" these people are sick. >> reporter: nadler's committee, house judiciary, is also the committee that would oversee any impeachment proceedings. nadler said it's too early to talk impeachment, and that what he's focused on right now is looking into presidential actions that fall outside the special counsel's jurisdiction, but may still have broken laws and no >> rests alabamare ssive tornado left it in splinters. it was part of a tornado storm

that tore through the region leaving about 2 dozen people dead. jeff glor begins our coverage. where i'm standing, there was a home yesterday. it is gone. the foundation lines are all that remains here. here is a view from above in alabama. destruction as far as we can see from here. a few homes still left standing in this area along route 38. but those are the exceptions, not the rule. the scar across lee county is nearly a mile wide and at least 24 miles long. the tornado's estimated strength was upgraded today to ef-4, with winds of up to 170mph. at least 23 people were killed here, including three children. it is the worst tornado outbreak in the united states in nearly six years. and more than 24 hours later, many are still unaccounted for. >> oh, dude, that's a big tornado. >> the catastrophic winds tore through entire blocks of lee county, alabama.

>> oh, my god. >> at speeds as high as 170mph. drone footage revealed flattened forests, tangled with homes, cars, and power lines. sirens gave this community of 10,000 an eight to ten minute warning to seek shelter. insulation from destroyed homes clung eerily to tree after tree. all right, so right now we're going with the sheriff to some of the worst-hit areas after this tornado. it's clear that officials here in alabama are still trying to determine the full scope of all the damage here. jay jones has been the sheriff of lee county for more than 20 years. >> when i look out here, it looks like war. it's not just trees snapped, but you can see pulled up by the roots, literally trees pulled alwaouhe gro in beau, alabam the storm tore this cell tower from its base, making communication difficult. nearby, the roof was ripped from this bar, exposing everything inside. owner david mcbride sat in his truck only a few feet away as the tornado left his livelihood in ruins.

>> i seen the trash swirling in the air across the hill over there, and i said, "oh, no, this ain't good." >> alabama's governor kay ivey described the sobering reality in lee county. >> we lost children, mothers, fathers, neighbors, and friends. >> among that growing list of victims: a ten, nine, and six year old. those who survived called family and gave thanks. >> i thank the lord. >> still sitting on foundations where nothing is left standing. the storm left a string of destruction throughout the south. in georgia, south carolina, and florida, as well. as rescue crews searched through debris back in lee county, joseph vernon learned he lost more than just his home. >> i lost a real good friend of mine next door. >> i'm sorry. >> yeah. well, you know, day by day. that's all you can do.

day by day. >> in his latest news conference, the sheriff here told us that dozens are still missing. i am joined now by mark strassmann. the emotional toll here, mark, is staggering. >> reporter: yeah, you talk to these people, they all have their own story of heartbreak. i spoke with one woman who has lived here in beauregard all of her life, and she just has no idea how she's going to recover from this. >> oh, my god. all this right here was wooded. >> reporter: shannon kelley's neighborhood was the killer tornado's bull's-eye and is now unrecognizable. >> oh, dude, that's a big tornado. >> reporter: no one was home when the tornado struck. she was about to see for the first time what remained of her home for the last 20 years. >> everything is gone. complete disaster. i was shaking. yeah, like, i'm still shaking. >> reporter: shaken by what she saw, along with her son alex and

her best friend, tonya banks. >> i seen a frame. i seen a piece of a wall. but, like, i didn't see a trailer. i just want to know where-- i mean, nobody could tell me where my trailer went. >> reporter: when you lok at destruction like that and you think about rebuilding, where do you start? >> i didn't have insurance. i don't have a clue where to start at. like, i don't even know. where do you go? like, all you can do is go up from here, but where do you start at? >> reporter: in this neighborhood, people have always looked after one another, but like shannon, most of them now have nothing. is there a silver lining in this? >> yeah. my family is okay. >> exactly. >> reporter: all 23 people who were killed died within one square mile of each other, and, jeff, shannon told me she has no idea how many of those victims

were her neighbors or her friends. >> so much of that damage so concentrated. mark strassmann, thank you very much.

>> this is the cbs overnight news. >> at the birth of the nuclear age every test of an atomic bomb was filmed from dozens of angles. now those films have been declassified and they're in the process of being restored. david martin got a peak into the fiery fury of america's nuclear arsenal. >> miles back observers stand by otr the first daylight >> the ter e believ>> this is aig ball. about two miles across. >> now thanks to a project headed by greg spriggs in

california, the public can see them as never before. >> it's unclassified. it's not a threat to national security. >> starting in 1945, the u.s. conducted 2010 nuclear tests above ground. all of them recorded on film from as many angles as possible. >> i now declare that the united states does not propose to conduct nuclear tests in the atmosphere so long as other states do not do so. >> that ended in 1963 when for good of the planet, the u.s. and the soviet union agreed to stop testing. >> let's play this in fast motion. >> unlike most of us he understands the physics that produces the images. >> temperatures can reach from 10 15 million degrees. very hot. very hot. >> at the outer edge of the fire ball is a shockwave but the fire

ball doesn't vaporize the shockwave crushes. see the tiny objts foreground? those are tanks about to be hit by the shockwave. when it first starts off it's moving at mach 100. 100 times the speed of sound. >> then there's the mushroom shaped cloud that climbs into the sky spewing radiation. >> it's directly tied to the nuclear fall out which is very sensitive. >> using the computer to measure the cloud from one blast, he discovered the original calculations made 50 years ago were off by a full mile. >> instead of 35,000 feet it was something like 40,000 feet and it was because of the way he measured it. >> that made him wonder if calculations from the other blasts were wrong as well. it was more than just academic curiosity. they're used to predict the spr the yield of today's weapons. >> if you measure the shockwave radius and you're off by 1%, you'll be off by 5% in the

yield. >> so spriggs set out to reanalyze and release to the public the estimated 9,000 roles of film that had been shot. he found most of them in the archives in new mexico, first place of the atom bomb. untouched for decades. a vast scientific treasure troef left to decay. >> i've had a challenge with some cans just getting the can open. >> he's one of this country's foremost film preservationists. one entrusted with the film of president kennedy's assassination, he now has the job of retrieving the only visual record of america's most fearsome weapons. >> i want to first, once i open a can, determine the condition of the film and ones by smell because any film as the base that carries the image starts to decay, it will put off an odor which is called vinegar. >> smells like vinegar? >> it does. exactly. >> it sounds like it's a race

against time. >> it really is. unless the cans are opened, you don't know the condition. >> some of the film has been lost forever, but he was able to restore most of it using a scanner to convert each frame to a digital file. >> here we're able to analyze all the fire ball films in an automated way. >> digital technology allowed spriggs to analyze the films with much greater precisions. >> those are high energy x-raies running down the cable and vaporizing the cable. >> he found that those made years ago were inaccurate. >> the best they could do in the 50s was plus or minus, 7, maybe 10%. so we're talking maybe plus or minus 100 kilotons for one megatons shot. it's 1,000 tons of tnt. 100 kilotons is six time bigger than the one that leveled

hiroshima. the pentagon wouldn't tell us if it forced any change in current nuclear targeting plans, but that doesn't change the impact of simply looking at images like this. frozen for one millionth of a second, from two miles away. this fire ball looks like an alien come to devour the earth. >> what do you hope the public gets out of watching >> i hope they appreciate how ts horrific these weapons are. this is something that can kill millions of people in the blink of an eye. >> spriggs is one of the few nuclear weapons designers old enough to have actually witnessed a nuclear explosion. >> the 1962 weapon effects testing operation fish bowl. >> a high altitude nighttime blast over the pacific. >> the sky lit up like it was noon. it just lit up and took about 15 minutes for all the colors to fade away. >> how does the real thing compare with the film? >> it's amazing the difference between what occurred out there and what is on the film.

>> asth majestic and fearsome a the photos

>> each year the people that make the finest cheese go to wisconsin for the world cheese championship. we got a taste of the competition. >> this is a cheesy story that

takes place in the cheesiest state of wisconsin. our story begins in the town of thorp where you can't miss the farm. their dream where their 400 dairy cows are contented and have names and their five children run free. they immigrated from holland and never looked back except that she missed dutch cheese, specifically gouda. >> one evening i was tossing and turning and i was like, we have good wisconsin milk here on the farm. i said i know what we should do. we should start making our own gouda. >> which is exactly w did. just four months after making her very first cheeses in 2006,

award, and then in 2013, one of her aged gouda's won best cheese in america at the u.s. cheese championship. a huge deal with immediate dividends. >> my immigration lawyer called and he said i think we could see how it would go. >> up there with nobel prize winners and movie stars. it only goes to people whose achievements are internationally recognized. >> he said well you just became the best cheese in the united states and that's how i also got my green card. >> yes, a green card for cheese making. she now makes 330,000 pounds of cheese and welcomes 150,000 visitors to the farm each year. her walls are lined with awards so if there's anyone that knows the value of winning them, it's

marika. >> how many cheeses do you have con thi year? >> if you don't tell my husband, we have about 30. so this is where the gouda and the parmesean meet. >> are you excited? >> i'm super excited. this is what i kind of live for. >> this is the granddaddy of them all. >> it's a nice piece of cheese. >> with 3,400 entrants from 37 countries competing in 121 categories. >> that smells good. >> some pretty esoteric. >> this has a particular yeast on it. >> others, well, you wouldn't expect to see them in the running for best cheese in the world. >> it should be springy.

>> how many cheeses can you taste in a day without having no taste at all? >> you can taste as many cheeses as you like in a day. that doesn't matter. it's your mind that you need to keep control of. >> imagine a cross between a wine tasting and a dog show. and you get a sense of what this three-day event is like. they take their work very seriously. >> that's not legal. >> no. >> in theory, these cheeses are the best of the best. >> no one can tell me what this is. >> you don't know whether it's cow. >> we don't know if it's even cheese. >> which is why this one confounded the judges. >> have you ever seen cheese like that? we haven't. you don't like it, do you? >> i do not like this cheese at all. >> robert was chief judge of the competiti

competition. >> we start at 100 points and then we start deducting. flavor is the priority. >> it sounds like the olympics. >> a lot of these classes are decided by .1 point. >> knowing that, she watched as her cheeses were judged. >> he ate it. >> in wisconsin, cheese judging is a spectator sport. sampling is part of the attraction. >> try that one. >> i feel like i would really like that. >> so how do judges endure dozens of blow your head off hot pepper cheeses? >> it's that hot. >> there's a trick. after each one, theyrink half and half. just imagine these judges tasting their way through

thousands of cheeses in two days. these guys really love cheese. >> at the end of the day, what we want the most is a cheese sandwich. >> so this is the final round. we're looking for a champion. >> on day three. >> buffalo milk. open class hard cheeses. >> they narrowed the contenders down to 20. >> it's like poker. watching people's faces. >> would a made in america cheese, a wisconsin cheese, be named best in the world? >> the winner of the 2018 world championship cheese contest -- >> actually, no. >> 1, 2, 3, cheese. >> a sheeps from france won. how did she do? five awards. hardly cheesy. but for a woman that's already won best cheese in america, best

in the world would be an

>> for many small children their favorite doll can also be their best friend. well a woman in wisconsin has taken that a step further. her custom creations are called a doll like me and they're making kids smile from coast-to-coast. >> this used to be her dining room. >> now it is the doll work room. >> the dolls amy makes by hand aren't just play things, they're partners for kids that don't often see themselves represented in the world. >> a lot of people see dolls and think oh, they're just toys. >> i would tell you, look at these videos. >> that's very special. >> that baby has a leg like you.

>> children with limb differences, prosthetic braces. >> it makes them not feel so alone. their logical brain lets them know this is just a doll but the innocent child part of them still feels like now i'm not the only one that looks this way. >> i have one hand and she has one hand. >> 9-year-old bella has loved little bella since she was 5. >> how did you feel when you got her? >> very excited because like most people don't get a doll that looks like them. >> did you ever think you'd ever find a doll like bella? >> no, honestly, i didn't. >> amy was once a social worker and used play therapy to help kids through tough times using dolls, but in 2014, she changed that with a doll like me. it took off on facebook and through go fund me, strangers can sponsor dolls which cost 75 to $100 to create.

>> he has crazy hair, his doll has crazy hair. her son chase is nonverbal. he loves to smile and really loved our camera uit toee his f opened it and kept looking at it. >> we're going to change the narrative for these kids and the more we see it and the more we talk about it, the more regular it will become for kids like bella. >> sewing change so kids can play in a world that looks like them. >> who doesn't want one of those dolls? that's the overnight news for this tuesday. for some of you the news continues. for others check back with us a little later for the morning news and of course this morning. from the broadcast center in new york city, i'm nikki batiste.
