african americans. >> reporter: fred gray was fresh out of law school in 1954 when he worked with parks and the naacp to counsel blacks jailed under segregation laws. >> my first civil rights case was claudette cardin, the 15-year-old girl who on march 2nd, 1955 did the same thing that rosa parks did, but did it nine months before. >> reporter: colvin's case may have set an example, but not the stage. that came on december 1st, 1955. >> i was on that bus. >> reporter: jane gunter, a then pregnant military wife is the only other person to admit she was there. >> all of the sudden there was a tall man standing in front of me. i stood up and said she can have my seat. and when i said that, he pushed his knees into my knees and said don't you dare. >> reporter: when she realized

years later what she witnessed, she called to meet parks. did she remember you? >> no, she didn't remember me. i said the story about the tall man, and she instantly said you were there. you were there. >> reporter: parks' conviction launched the year-long bus boycott in montgomery. >> they knew that there would be some event that would allow them to put the plans in action. >> montgomery, alabama -- >> reporter: a charismatic new preacher that had come to town didn't hurt either. >> at present, we are in the midst of a protest. >> reporter: protests sparked by a woman who never rested, who believed the struggle continues. and now everyone can see the impact of both her actions and words. >> her writings are right here with thomas jefferson, with thurgood good marshall, with all of these other people. her writings are right here. >> the u.s. constitution states that only congress with levee

taxes and impose tariffs. but since he came into office, president trump has been imposing tariffs on his own. in each case declaring a national security emergency. one of the latest emergencies involves one of the world's most famous cheeses. seth doane got a taste of the controversy in parma, italy. >> reporter: could your spaghetti dinner be getting more expensive? this is a warehouse where thousands of wheels of parmesan, the real stuff, parmesano reggiano are aged for years before being shipped around the world. and now the cheese destined for america is also headed for a price hike. the price of their parmesano reggiano was already at a premium. after all, they control each step here, tracking which cows ate in which fields and were milked on which day. >> is piece of italy. >> reporter: nicola bertinelli is the fourth generation to run

his family business in this specific region where parmesano reggiano is made. bertinelli, who heads a group of cheese makers says the u.s. is their second most important export market, and they'd planned to double business there in the next five years, at least until these tariffs. >> we are worried that the price is going to achieve a level that after that it's a broken price. >> reporter: people won't buy it? >> it's too expensive. >> reporter: cheese from almost every country in the e lu hit by a 25% duty. >> when you look why these products are inside the list and the other products are not. >> reporter: the u.s. tariffs read like a shopping list of european specialty products from clams to coffee to whiskey produced in scotland. there is yogurt or olives from spain, sparking protests there. german tools are on the list. so are sweaters made in the uk.

french wine and france in general is a big target. the unlikely trigger for these tariffs was the 15-year battle between boeing and french airplane maker airbus so aircraft parts will get a 10% duty. the u.s. government argues european subsidies have undercut american workers. >> it hurts products that had nothing to do with the dispute. >> reporter: italy's biggest exporter of parmesano reggiano. he estimates the price in a store could go up by about $2.50 a pound. >> so in in other words, the american consumer, they're going pay for this. >> reporter: at bertinelli's, they're ready for a fight and armed with their own spin. >> let's say trump says america first, parmesano reggiano says american consumers first. >> reporter: it's a good line.

by downy infusions calm. laundry isn't done until it's done with downy. the effects of climate change can most easily be seen at the north and south poles. temperatures there are rising faster than any other place on earth, and it's taking a terrible toll on a natural symbol of the arctic, the reindeer. mark phillips paid them a visit. >> reporter: good morning from northern finland, about 300 miles north of the arctic circle. reindeer country. that's them in the distance over there. but this isn't about santa claus ho ho ho kinds of reindeer. this reindeer story is no laughing matter. it's more than a thousand miles from up here in the high arctic of finland to the north pole, as

the reindeer flies. but that hasn't stopped the fins from naming the capital of lapland santa's hometown where rudolph's cousins provide sleigh rides, albeit on the ground, and where you know who welcomes children of all ages. but all is not what it seems in this winter wonderland. so rudolph here, real name yermo is a healthy young reindeer, but hundreds of thousands of others are in real trouble. to find the real reindeer and the real trouble, you've got to go about 250 miles north of santa's village. and then drive a snowmobile another 30 or so miles across rough open tundra in temperatures approaching zero. but winter even up here isn't what it used to be. our guide is antti from the ancient sami people who have

been herding reindeer since the beginning of time, and the climate here in lapland he says is changing. >> it's warm weather. snow going to be -- >> reporter: it melts? >> it melts. and the next day cold, freeze. >> reporter: freeze. does it happen more often now where you have rain or warm weather and then the snow melts, does that happen more in the last few years than it used to? >> yeah, in the last ten years. >> reporter: and this is the result, reindeer are dying. a big die-off was discovered on the arctic islands of svalbad last summer, and the huge wild herds of caribou, same animal which roam across alaska and northern canada have been reduced by half according to a government report. >> so they dig down through the snow. >> reporter: and antti the reindeer herder knows why. >> this is what they're looking for. >> reporter: the reindeer feed even through the winter on

lichen except when all the thawing andri freezing means they can't. and when the snow turns to ice, what happens to the reindeer? >> we have to feed them. >> reporter: because they can't dig for the food? >> no, no. we have to give them extra food. >> reporter: up here in the land of the northern lights, it's a constant battle. antti lives in a village of just ten houses, five families, no power, no running water. the most remote village in finland, he says, which is saying something. and every day he travels up to 60 miles each way through the few hours of dim winter light to find the herd and check it's okay. how many reindeer do you herd? how many do you have? >> i have some reindeers, but it's same thing if i ask you how you have money in the bank. >> reporter: to you the reindeer are your money in the bank? >> my reindeer is my whole --

>> reporter: whatever you're worth? >> my whole worth. >> reporter: they run about 5,000 animals, and right now it's reindeer roundup time. antti and his wonder dog vena gather the scattered herd and drive them south to where they can bring them feed, and where a few are sold off to the reindeer meat market. it's how they make their living. it's a gorgeous if frigid dance of man, animal and machine. it's very hard work up here. >> yeah. it is hard work some days. >> reporter: why don't you leave and go work in the city or something? >> i don't know. this is my life. >> reporter: these reindeer in finland are the lucky ones. they have the sami herders to look after them. for tens of thousands of other ones elsewhere, though, the human influence hasn't been so kind.

where we fly at each other head-on. it's a very unforgiving job if you make mistakes. really what we do is life and death sometimes. >> from flying an f-16 to her passion for extreme sports, mace is a thrill-seeker. she flew more than 160 combat hours in afghanistan before joining the team. >> sometimes it's hard to be the only female in a squadron. >> women weren't allowed to fly fighter jets in the air force for decades until jeannie marie leavitt became the air force's first female fighter pilot just 16 years ago. >> those women that have blazed a trail for me, they're just regular people that were driven and stepped outside their comfort zone. >> do you think that's part of what you show is chase your dream, live outside your comfort zone? >> absolutely. living outside your comfort zone is something that can be scary, but that's what i found is the most rewarding. >> well, flying in an f-16 is flying outside my comfort zone. >> it will be fine. >> what i'm looking forward to showing you is what the

performance the airplane is like. >> lieutenant colonel governor any, call sign miami, is in charge of flying civilians. >> 100 miles an hour. >> oh, my gosh, wow. amazing. >> he showed me a series of maneuvers the team performs during shows. >> woo! i like that one. >> nice job. that's my favorite. >> spinning so fast we created a gravitational force nine times our body weight. >> and now a little more pull. >> pilots call it pulling 9 gs. >> here come the gs. >> it felt like an elephant was sitting on my chest. >> well done, norah. >> what are these shows meant to do? >> it really shows what precision and professionalism we can demonstrate when we all pork together. but beyond that, it's meant to inspire all the people that will never join the military, but if they go out and chase a dream that they didn't think they could do because they saw what

we can do, then our mission is achieved. >> that's the "overnight news" for this friday. from the cbs broad it's friday, december 6th, it's friday, december 6th, 2019. this is the "cbs morning news." chaos and bullets. robbery suspects open fire at a busy florida intersection where a violent crime spree came to a deadly end. the innocent people caught in the crossfire. today i am asking our chairman to proceed with articles of impeachment. >> drafting articles of impeachment. democrats plan to move ahead with writing impeachment charges against president trump as tempers flare both on capitol hill and on the campaign trail. and living large. prosecutors say russian hackers are flaunting luxury items they bought with money stolen from bought with money stolen from americans. captioning funded by cbs
