meanwhile, members of the administration spent most of today trying to explain comments president biden made about russian aggression towards ukraine during yesterday's marathon news conference. the president heads into year two with the majority of the country thinking the nation is headed in the wrong direction. so what can he do to right the ship? cbs's nancy cordes joins us from the white house. good evening, nancy. >> reporter: good evening, norah. poll numbers like those have prompted something of a rethink here at the white house about how the president should approach year two. it could involve scaling back some of his biggest goals and spending more time reassuring americans about challenges like covid, inflation, and russian aggression. >> any assembled russian units move across the ukrainian border, that is an invasion. >> reporter: president biden started his second year in office today with a clarification after suggesting yesterday that he might let a small attack on ukraine slide. >> it's one thing if it's a

minor incursion and then we end up having to fight about what to do and not do, et cetera. >> reporter: on this one-year anniversary, the white house is touting an unemployment rate that has plummeted to 3.9%, a vaccination rate that has risen to 63%, and yet the president's huge social spending bill is stalled in the senate, and his voting rights bill was defeated last night. at his press conference yesterday, mr. biden made waves when he appeared to question the integrity of the upcoming midterm elections. >> i'm not saying it's going to be legit. >> reporter: that prompted another clarification. >> he was not intending to cast doubt on the legitimacy of the 2020 election. >> reporter: republicans marked this one-year anniversary with a list of everything that's gone wrong. >> the afghanistan withdrawal was truly a disaster. >> inflation is the highest it has been in 40 years. >> long lines, empty shelves. >> reporter: all that is taking a toll. a new a.p. poll finds just 28%

of americans currently want mr. biden to run again in 2024. >> i thought he would be doing better at this point. >> reporter: andrew loupe vits is a marking executive and biden supporter from grapevine, texas. he thinks mr. biden tried to do a little too much in year one. >> i think it was very ambitious, and i don't have anything against ambition, but i think -- i think reality got in the way. >> you think he bit off more than he could chew? >> i think so. >> reporter: the white house appears to have heard that message because the president is already openly musing about ways that he could break down his signature $2 trillion build back better social spending bill into more manageable chunks that might have a better chance of passing in congress. norah. >> nancy, thanks. well, the ukrainians themselves weren't happy with president biden's comments. president zelensky had a pointed tweet today, saying, quote, there are no minor incursions

just as there are no minor casualties. cbs's holly williams is in ukraine, where tensions are reaching a critical level. >> it's bigger than a conflict between two countries. it's bigger than russia and nato. >> reporter: with new satellite images showing the roughly 100,000 russian troops massed on ukraine's border, in berlin today, the secretary of state promised a swift, severe response if russia invades. >> it may seem like a distant regional dispute or yet another example of russian bullying. but at stake, again, are principles that have made the world safer. >> reporter: russia claimed it's threatened by aggression from the west, andemanding security inc a ban on ukraine joining nato. that's something the u.s. says it will never agree to. russia says it has no plans to invade ukraine while some believe russia's presiden playi

high-stakes game of brinkmanship, ratcheting up tensions to extract concessions from the u.s. and its allies. but in ukraine's capital, kiev, they're prepared for a russian attack with renovated bomb shelters like this one. and they're already fighting a russian-backed rebellion in the country's east, a conflict raging for over seven years that's killed more than 14,000 people. we were in the trenches this month with ukrainian forces, trained and equipped by the u.s. they're in little doubt about russia's intentions. >> a very big possibility. >> a very big possibility? >> yes. >> that the russians will invade? >> yes, yes. >> reporter: the u.s. has now authorized its allies here in europe to transfer american-made anti-tank and anti-aircraft weapons to ukraine. secretary blinken will meet with russia's foreign minister tomorrow in geneva. norah. >> those weapons are a big deal. holly williams, thank you. congressional investigators are zeroing why president trump didn't stop the mob on

january 6th. today they asked to speak to ivanka trump. she's one of the people who asked her father to call off the rioters. we get more now from cbs's scott macfarlane. >> reporter: one year to the day after donald trump departed the white house, his daughter ivanka has been asked to come back to washington. the january 6th committee wants to know exactly what ivanka trump heard in the oval office when her father spoke with mike pence by phone that morning, urging him to block certification of president biden's win, and what she may have done to stop him. >> we have testimony from other witnesses that ms. trump was sent in to persuade her father to issue a statement to try and call off the riot. we'd like to know more about that. >> reporter: the committee has information the former president recorded outtakes of his january 6th video message to rioters in which he did not ask them to leave. >> but go home, and go home in peace. >> reporter: a spokesperson for ivanka trump did not address that claim or whether she would comply, writing, as she publicly

stated that day at 3:15 p.m., any security breach or disrespect to our law enforcement is unacceptable. new text messages released from january 7th show fox news host sean hannity giving white house press secretary kayleigh mcenany tips for the president. no more stolen election talk. no more crazy people. yes, 100%, she responds. also today, more potential trouble for the former president. a prosecutor in atlanta has requested a special grand jury to investigate whether mr. trump tried to overturn the 2020 election results in georgia. norah. >> scott macfarlane, thank you. the "cbs overnight news" will be right back.

>> announcer: this is the "cbs overnight news." i'm major garrett in washington. thank you very much for staying with us. as president biden enters his second year in office, a good portion of his agenda continues to face stiff opposition from republicans and, yes, even some democrats. during his first news conference of the year on wednesday, the president gave himself high marks, saying he, quote, probably outperformed what anybody thought would happen, unquote. ed o'keefe takes a closer look at mr. biden's accomplishments and setbacks. >> my whole soul is in this, bringing america together, uniting our people.

>> reporter: during his first speech as commander in chief, president biden promised to tackle the nation' many challenges. but unity quickly proved hard to find. racial justice protests continue while teachers, parents and students bristled at plans to keep schools safe from the coronavirus. the new administration ramped up vaccine distribution and passed trillions of dollars in financial relief. >> we're closer than ever to declaring our independence from this deadly virus. >> reporter: over the summer, the pandemic took a temporary back seat to foreign policy as a controversial decision to end america's involvement in afghanistan sparked chaos. >> i was not going to extend this forever war, and i was not extending a forever exit. >> reporter: the administration succeeded in enacting major infrastructure legislation. >> let's believe in possibilities. let's believe in one another. >> reporter: but plans for on ambitious spending bill remain stalled. as fall turned to winter, supply chain disruptions and inflation sent consumer prices soaring, and a new covid variant sparked

long lines at testing and vaccination sites once again. >> we have to do more. we have to do better, and we will. >> reporter: still, the president kicked off the new year pushing for voting reform and blasting his predecessor's supporters. >> they want chaos to reign. we want the people to rule. >> reporter: and unity in congress, like in much of the country, continues to remain elusive. i'm ed o'keefe at the white house. president biden's push to pass a landmark voting rights bill was dealt a major blow wednesday. the legislation failed in the senate by a vote of 52-48. two democrats joined all 50 republicans in opposing a rules change to push it through. cbs morning's co-host gayle king spoke to vice president kamala harris about the biden administration's goals and the biggest challenges ahead. >> i know it was a very long night in the senate last night. as expected the voting rights legislation did not pass last night, in part because of two of your own party members.

but the president says he can take action to protect the voting rights. what specifically are you going to do? >> well, thank you, gayle. first of all, it's really important for everyone to understand what's at stake. around our country, there have been purposeful, direct attempts to make it more difficult for people to vote, access to the ballot. so that's the issue, when we talk about voting rights, attacks on our democracy, if you boil it down, one of the specific issues is folks are making it -- people in elected offices in states are making it more difficult for their citizens to vote. so, for example, they are making it more difficult for people to vote by mail. well, think about folks who have disabilities, parents who have, you know, obligations every day or work two or three shifts. voting by mail is the best way they can vote. they're passing laws eliminating or reducing the number of drop boxes. again, if you're a single parent, a mom or a dad, you got those three kids in the back

seat and you want to vote, and it's much easier for you to fill out your ballot at home and drive by, drop it in the drop box than to have those kids stand with you in line. >> so we've heard the case, madam vice president. you have laid out the case very nicely about what's at stake. now we're here, and it didn't pass. so what will you do? >> well, what we will do is keep fighting to get the legislation passed because that is critical. so we are not giving up on that. then it is a matter of continuing to do the work of executive orders, doing the work through the department of justice, which has been litigating these cases in the various states because we believe that they are a violation of the spirit of the constitution of the united states. it is going to be about continuing to elevate this conversation because, gayle, frankly you'd be surprised how many people in the burden of everyday life are unaware of what's happening in these states. but when they become aware of laws that make it illegal to give people food and water if they're standing in line, they're outraged. >> we heard the president say

that he intends to get out of the bubble of the white house ad go and take the message directly to the people. but at this point i know it's only one year. it's your one-year anniversary today. you've got three years to go. but the polling is not good so far. cbs polling out today shows only 44% of americans approve of your job, in particular. that you all have failed to pass the build back better, voting rights, and police reform. what's your new strategy to get this done? and i know you've got three years to go. what's the new strategy? >> so -- well, let's just say to the point, i think, of the spirit of your question, polls go up and down, but we have to remain consistent in fighting for the american people and their needs. and so that is the strategy, about staying focused. i'm not going to give up on the issue of affordable child care. i know that -- >> can you do that -- madam vice president, can you do that without congress? >> you know, i will tell you, and you'll appreciate this, gayle. last week i was in atlanta, and i had a visit with ambassador andy young, who was -- who is

probably one of the last living members of those leaders who marched with and advised dr. king. and he said to me, you know, we had ups and downs in the fight for civil rights and for progress in this country, but you can't give up, and you can't give up on the spirit of the american people to want things to be better. >> let's turn to ukraine and russia because i'm wondering if you all are having a cleanup i aith sta department today where the president raised a couple of eyebrows when he seemed to make the distinction between a minor incursion and an all-out invasion. and so the people in ukraine today, we understand, are very upset with that because they believe that the president has given biden -- has given, rather, president putin the green light. what do you say to that because it does seem to be very confusing? >> so the president -- let me just first tell you, i start every morning reading the presidential daily briefing, which contains classified information about threats to our

national security and hot spots around the world. i am often in meetings in the situation room where the president and i and members of our leadership of our military, our intelligence community convene on these issues. the president of the united states, joe biden, has been very clear on the subject of ukraine, which is that if russia takes aggressive action, there will be severe and swift consequences, that there will be -- >> he didn't seem to say that yesterday, though, at the news conference. that's why i think clarification is needed. >> well, we are very clear, and we've been very clear with putin that any aggressive action taken by russia will meet a cost, a severe cost. >> let's talk about covid because you all ran on "we're going to get covid under control. we are going to get this licked." and as we sit here today, as you know, we're going into year three. we're still talking about covid. you all admitted, we made some mistake. we're going to do better.

can the kids go to schools? in new mexico, the national guard is asked to be substitute teachers all because of covid. so it is not under control. i'm wondering what is your strategy here, and have you come to the point -- have you come to the point that we have all got to figure out how to live with covid? >> so i'm going to try to unpack the various -- >> i know there was a lot. >> but they're important points. let's start with our children, okay, which should always be where we start frankly. if you look at where we were last year, where we were certainly at the beginning of this pandemic, we know that comparing then to now, we've seen greet progress. we're over 95% of our schools are open. we now have vaccines for our children who are over the age of 5. so we have seen great progress. we, as an administration, put $310 billion into the schools of america to help upgrade ventilation systems and make sure that they have the

resources they need to keep both our children and their teachers safe in the school. >> people will say, madam vice president, it's not enough. and have you reached the point that you have to say, we've got to figure out a way to live with this, or do you still believe we can get this under control? >> there is still more work to be done. >> okay. >> we started out with very few people getting vaccinated, and we now have 210 million americans who have been vaccinated. we need everyone to take seriously and take advantage of the tools that are available to them. you know, what i -- i will tell you, gayle, that one of the things that inspires me about this moment in the midst of everything is the incredible power of the american people to take advantage of the tools that are available to them. >> yes. >> and say that they're not going to let things happen to them. they're going to actually do what they have in their power, and that includes getting vaccinated. it includes wearing masks. it includes doing -- >> there's still more work to do. >> absolutely.

much at first. a conservation team thought they found maybe an old broken pipe sticking out of the mud after draining a reservoir. but what joe davis stumbled upon has been described as one of the greatest fossil finds in the history of british paleontology. >> a lot of people spend their careers looking for something like this. my kids have now named me jurassic. >> reporter: like joe-rassic discovered lurking beneath the mud were the remains of a 180 million-year-old beast, a beast paleontologist dean lomax has spent a career hunting down. >> not only is this the largest skeleton ever found in britain, but it's also the largest complete skeleton of any prehistoric reptile found here in the uk as well. >> reporter: known as the sea dragon, the air-breathing, apex predator ruled the seas like a huge blood tthirsty dolphin. raising the monster from the deep was a complex and delicate
