teenage girls first by befriending them and serving them up to jeffrey epstein to be abused. the prosecutors said in one instance they were each more than double the age of their victim. the government alleges maxwell now 59, assisted, facilitated and contributed to crimes by epstein by helping him recruit, and abuse girls as young as 14. the prosecutor said that maxwell traded on the trust she earned from the girls and being in the room when jeffrey epstein abused them. maxwell said she is a scapegoat and a stand in for the man who cannot be here. epstein died in jail while awaiting trial in what has officially been ruled a suicide. maxwell has been in federal custody since june 2020, not far from the jail where epstein was

♪ ♪ this is the "cbs overnight news." > . i'm jan crawford in washington, thanks for staying with us. as nations around the world brace for another wave of coronavirus linked to the new omicron variant, president biden sought to reassure americans he took to the air ways to say it was a cause for concern but not a cause for panic. scientists don't know if the new strain is more transmissable or more deadly. it has prompted lockdowns and travel restrictions. the new variant was discovered in south africa. debra is there.

>> reporter: this is where the countries top scientists are racing to find out whether existing vaccines will stop i'm akron. within 36 hours of discovering the new variant, the researchers immediately began testing it. but instead of being applauded, many believe south africa is being punished for its excellent science. the gloves are off in the fight to stop the strain. in days omicron has been globally recognized and is stalking the world. as of today, the travel ban there prevent most from south africa from entering the united states and restrictions have been made from south africa to european countries. europes was the epi-center in cases before the arrival of omicron.

israel is going further and preventing all travelers from other countries. they are calling for travel bans to be reversed saying they have no basis in science is -- >> these restrictions are unjustified and unfairly discriminate against our country. >> world leaders have committed to slowing the spread while they wait for the science. because, there's a lot we don't know. omicron is potentially more contagious than previous strains, but its severity is unclear. it contains about 30 mu takings to the spike protein, prompting concerns from some scientists it could be vaccine resistant. the professor of south africa's institute for communicable diseases said there will be answers. ? i think there's good reason to be worried. i don't think that means we are powerless. we need to collect data and investigate and understand the variant. >> scientists here won't know

the results for at least ten days but south african doctors are seeing an increase in reinfections in people who have already had covisit, numbers are still low, omicron accounts for the more than 2000 new daily cases in south africa. >> that was debra pada in south africa. here in tus, both pfizer and moderna are devising new vaccines if the variant evades existing formulas. that will not be known for at least another two weeks. president biden's chief medical adviser dr. fauci discussed what we know about the variant with the team on cbs mornings. >> we had the most normal thanksgiving since 2019. and we are looking for a normal end to the year since 2019, now we have a new variant. why might it be a problem for us? and when will we know? >> well, it's going to take a little bit, maybe a couple of weeks to get a real good handle

on it. the thing that we do know, that is concerning is that there has been this identification in south africa, and it is having a degree of what we call mutations around that a part of the virus. we call the spike protein, that is responsible for the binding of the virus to cells in your body, which suggests that this would be more transmissable and also, suggests that it mighty evade some of the immune parameters that we have, such as monoclonal antibodies and convalescent plasma, when you look at it clinically, it appears from what we are observes with our south african colleague who is have been dev helpful to this, it's spreading readily and it has a transmission advantage. the things that we don't know right now, is whether the people

who do get infected have a severer form of disease or whether it's a light disease or somewhat the same as delta. >> what are the benchmarks specifically if you could, that you are looking at, that will guide your view on whether we need to hunker down for the holidays? >> well, first of all, let's not be talking about lockdowns. when people were asking me about different things, a lockdown is not considered right now. we don't have this in this country, what we should be doing, it likely will come, it certainly will, it's one of those viruses that when you have a high degree of transmissablity to it it will get to you. the reason we have the restriction on travel was to give us time to first understand it better and second to just intensify the things that we are already doing. so, nothing different. i mean, get vaccinated for those who are unvaccinated. absolutely get boosted if in fact you have been vaccinated. >> i don't know how many more

times you can say that dr. fauci. you said it is ours to control at this point. you have to get the boosters. you have to get the vaccine. let's start with that. but i want to point out about south after camp they are upset saying they are being penalized, they raised the alarm to all of us to help us and now they are saying they are being penalized with the travel ban. do you think the travel bans are effective? >> well, they certainly are not going to be effective of keeping the virus out for a pro longed period of time. you do not think naively that you will keep it out, but it buys you a couple of weeks because if you can keep things out in force for a couple of weeks you can do a lot of things. >> we know people are very worried and scared and some people use the word freaking out. should we be? >> no. no. no, gayle, we should not be freaking out. we should be doing the things that we know work when you are daling with a pandemic virus.

it's not the time to panic. we should be concerned and our concern should spur us to do the things that we know work. so, rather than as you say, freaking out, and rather than panicking, just do the right panicking, just do the right thing. i just heard something amazing! now for the first time one medication was approved to treat and prevent migraines. don't take if allergic to nurtec. the most common side effects were nausea, stomach pain, and indigestion. ask your doctor about nurtec today. did you know some deodorants may not last all day? secret works immediately! and is designed to last for up to 48 hours. with secret, keep it fresh. available in over 10 amazing scents and aluminum free. secret how did olay top expensive creams? by staying on top of our game with derm-recommended ingredients in every jar olay regenerist with niacinamide has hydration that beats the 100, 200, even $400 cream for smooth skin, try retinol24
