designed to cool inflation by making it more expensive to borrow, and in turn slow down consumer spending. >> the federal reserve is trying to fight a battle against inflation. and investors are very concerned that that battle is one where the fed may have entered too late and may have to play catch-up. >> reporter: polling out today shows almost half of americans now say rising prices are causing a hardship for their families. >> inflation right away, right away forces people like that to make very difficult decisions. >> reporter: economists and investors are anticipating as many as four interest rate hikes this year. what should americans do with this news? >> well, i'll tell you, if i had an outstanding loan which was going to start increasing in cost, i would try to whittle it down. >> reporter: now, the fed chair does not think the rate increase is going to hurt the job market. and a decrease in consumer spending could potentially relieve some pressure on a

supply chain that's still struggling to deliver. norah? >>ha good news. carter evans, thank you. now to the frigid relationship between the u.s. and russia over ukraine. this was a day of both diplomatic discussions and military maneuvers. cbs's chief foreign affairs correspondent margaret brennan has more. >> reporter: with more russian fighter jets positioned in neighboring belarus within striking distance of ukraine, six u.s. fighter jets arrived to the region ahead of an attack that the u.s. estimates could come in the next three weeks. >> that's what's really causing all the tensions right now, is this very, very big build-up of forces, very combat-credible forces that he has along that border with ukraine and belarus. >> reporter: today the u.s. and nato offered vladimir putin a way out. the u.s. ambassador to moscow delivered a written response to russia's demand that nato halt its expansion and never allow former soviet states including ukraine to join the alliance. >> there is no change. there will be no change.

>> reporter: secretary blinken said no such concessions will be made. but the u.s. did put an offer on the table. was this just to show you tried? >> well, as we said, the placement of offensive missile systems in ukraine, military exercises and maneuvers in europe, all of these things would address i think mutual concerns, including concerns stated by russia, and advance collective seri wereut on high alert for near-term deployment in case diplomacy fails. today nato's secretary-general said 5,000 allied forces are set to go. >> we have plans in pla tactivay short notice. >> reporter: no one is quite sure what vladimir putin will do. next week he is set to travel to china for the start of the olympic games. and the state department says that may impact timing of an attack. >> i that i probably president xi jinping would not be ecstatic

if putin chose that moment to invade ukraine. so that may affect his timing and his thinking. >> it's a really interesting point. margaret joins us now. so you have? reporting on whether president biden would want to personally sanction the russian president. >> reporter: well, norah, the u.s. could sanction putin, but at this point the white house has not decided to do so. according to sources i speak to, if you do that it creates some technical complications. if you sanction someone you have to negotiate with, how do they travel? coordinationwise, it also gets complicated. what may be more effective as a strategy is putting pressure on the oligarchs close to him, their business inttstheir accni brenn, thank you. rects a lea vid, re americansld die from the virus over the next four weeks. the u.s. now averages more than 2,200 covid deaths a day. that's a 21% increase since last week. meanwhile, the federal government started the distribution of 400 million free

she walks away with $1,382,000 in winnings. for more news download the cbs news app on your cell phone or connected tv. i'm tom hanson, cbs news, new york. >> announcer: this is the "cbs overnight news." good evening and thank you for joining us. we're going to begin tonight with major news from here in the nation's capital. after nearly three decades on the supreme court, justice stephen breyer is expected to retire. sources tell cbs news that the 83-year-old will stay on the bench for the rest of this consequential term, deciding on major cases like abortion rights, and he'll wait until the senate confirms a successor. the liberal justice is under pressure from the left to step down while democrats maintain control of the senate and the white house so his replacement won't change the ideological makeup of the nation's highest court.

in recent years breyer has found himself in the dissent on a bench that has moved more to the right, with a 6-3 conservative majority. president biden will now be given the opportunity to fulfill a campaign promise and appoint the first black female supreme court justice. we have two reports tonight starting with cbs's chief legal correspondent jan crawford. good evening, jan. some big news today. >> reporter: it could literally change the face of the supreme court, norah. now, justice breyer let president biden know last week that he plans to retire this summer. so that's now shifting the focus to who will replace him. the court's most senior liberal, justice stephen breyer, made the decision that was widely expected, giving president biden his first supreme court nomination and a chance to fulfill a campaign pledge. >> i'm looking forward to making sure there's a black woman on the supreme court. >> reporter: the top candidates are all sitting judges. the front-runner, 51-year-old federal appeals court judge ketanji brown jackson, a harvard law school graduate who was a law clerk for justice breyer.

nominated in 1994 by president clinton, breyer has been a practigmatic justice, a defendef s civil rights and a staunch opponent of the death penalty. engaging and well liked by his colleagues, he likes to talk, and listen, as he told me in this conversation in 2019. >> sit down with a colleague -- >> yes. >> -- or try to change their mind. >> yes. i might. but i've learned over time that everyone on the court of course wants everyone to agree with him about everything all the time. >> reporter: there's long been speculation about when breyer, an older justice, though still as mentally sharp and active as ever, would retire. >> you're not going anywhere. >> i certainly don't intend to. >> reporter: but that was a year before justice ruth bader ginsburg passed away, giving tr supreme court nomination. breyer, an ardent defender of keeping the court separate from politics, resisted a drumbeat of pressure from progressives last year that he step down so president biden could replace

him. >> when exactly i should retire or will retire has many complex parts to it. i think i'm aware of most of them. >> reporter: this year the decision which the left hoped for was his own. >> and jan crawford is back with us from the supreme court. so jan, tell us about president biden's short list and the front-runner, judge ketanji brown jackson. >> reporter: well, i mean, behind judge jackson's strong credentials and of course that clerkship with justice breyer-i think what makes her an early favorite is that she was recently confirmed by the senate to the prestigious federal court of appeals here in d.c. with 53 votes, including three republicans. and also that the white house is thinking of moving very quickly on this, which our sources suggest that they are, that means she's also been recently vetted and extensively vetted. she even met with president biden. but of course some of the other potential nominees on that short list have been recently vetted as well, norah. >> i know you'll be watching closely. jan crawford, thank you. president biden is no

stranger to supreme court confirmation hearings. he served as the chair of the judiciary committee when justice breyer was confirmed back in 1994. now he gets to pick breyer's successor. cbs's ed o'keefe joins us now from the white house. so ed, the president's going to make an official announcement about breyer's retirement tomorrow. and the timing of all this is very significant. >> reporter: that's right, norah. while it was widely expected that breyer would announce his retirement later this year, by the end of the court's tomorrow, the fact it leaked even before he was able to tell some supreme court colleagues, gives the white house and senate more time to consider potential nominees, make the pick and hold hearings. it also gives them more time should the president's first choice get rejected or withdraw. and by nominating a black woman ahead of midterm elections the president will hope to motivate his party's base and show them he made good on a campaign pledge. >> and ed, what are you hearing from the hill about how quickly they want to move forward on this? >> well, it depends on the president. we know he has blown through

self-imposed deadlines before, especially when making big decisions. sources tell us that the west wing was fielding calls today from several key allies and lawmakers about species. once the president makes his pick, the senate is expected to move quickly and likely at a pace similar to the roughly one month it took to nominate amy coney barrett and have her confirmed by the full senate. and even amid debate over the future of the president's economic agenda and other big issues, majority leader chuck schumer said today he will clear the senate calendar and move on this "with all deliberate speed." norah? >> and we'll cover those confirmation haergds. ed o'keefe, thank you. now to the frigid relationship between the u.s. and russia over ukraine. this was i aday of diplomatic discussions and military maneuvers. cbs's chief foreign affairs correspondent margaret brennan has more. >> reporter: with more russian fighter jets positioned in neighboring belarus within striking distance of ukraine, six u.s. fighter jets arrived to the region ahead of an attack

that the u.s. estimates could come in the next three weeks. >> that's what's really causing all the tensions right now, is this very, very big build-up of forces, very combat-credible forces that he has along that border with ukraine and belarus. >> reporter: today the u.s. and nato offered vladimir putin a way out. the u.s. ambassador to moscow delivered a written response to russia's demand that nato halt its expansion and never allow former soviet states including ukraine to join the alliance. >> there's no change. there will be no change. >> reporter: secretary blinken said no such concessions will be made. but the u.s. did put an offer on the table. >> was in just to show you tried? >> well, as we said, the placement of offensive missile systems in ukraine, military exercises and maneuvers in europe, all of these things would address i think mutual concerns including concerns stated by russia and advanced collective security. >> reporter: 8500 u.s. troops were put on high alert for

near-term deployment in case diplomacy fails. today nato's secretary-general said 5,000 allied forces are set to go. >> we have plans in place that we can activate, execute on very short notice. >> reporter: no one is quite sure what vladimir putin will do. flex week he is set to travel to china for the start of the olympic games. and the state department says that may impact timing of an attack. >> i think that probably president xi jinping would not be ecstatic if putin chose that moment to invade ukraine. so that may affect his timing and his thinking. the "cbs overnight news" will be right back.

>> announcer: this is the "cbs overnight news." welcome back to the overnight news. i'm catherine herridge in washington. the number of people dying from covid-19 in the u.s. is reaching a level not seen in nearly a year. the nation's new seven-day average for covid deaths is approaching 2,200 a day. but the cdc says fewer patients have been admitted to the hospital nationwide compared to previous waves. but those numbers are rising in parts of the country where fewer people are vaccinated. cbs's kris van cleave has our story from oklahoma city.

>> reporter: this morning oklahoma hospitals are at the brink. every icu bed in the state's capital city is full with dozens of patients waiting for one to open. >> i try to treat each patient like they're my family. so you know, they -- it's different. >> reporter: e.r. nurse nicole green will spend 12 hours today at a hospital slammed by covid as her 61-year-old father brett battles for his life at another. he got sick last tuesday, was in the hospital on thursday, on a ventilator by friday, but couldn't get an icu bed until saturday night. >> it's hard. you know, it's hard knowing and seeing what i've seen and then knowing that my -- there is a chance that my dad could die. >> reporter: what would you tell dad right now? >> i would tell him to keep fighting, that we love him, and just keep fighting. >> reporter: it's a fight playing out hourly in icus and

hospitals across the sooner state, prompting four of the largest hospital groups to warn residents in an open letter the oklahoma city health care system is at a breaking point, and pleading with people to get vaccinated and boosted. statewide less than 55% are fully vaccinated. >> right now probably 80% of the people that we actually have in the hospital are unvaccinated. >> reporter: st. anthony hospital chief medical officer dr. kersey winfrey was one of the letter's authors. how close are you to the worst case scenario? >> i think that on any given day you feel like you're in it at the present moment. >> reporter: the hospitals are juggling too many patients while dealing with staffing shortages, limited supplies of therapeutics and even a shortage of oxygen containers, which forced 71-year-old johnny kerry into a much sought after hospital bed. >> if i had the oxygen i could have stayed home, never went. so a lot of the rooms that are full in the hospital is just because people can't get the

oxygen. >> reporter: now, brett green's family tells us doctors are optimistic but it could be several more days before they have a clear prognosis. and like so many people we talked to here in oklahoma, they did not want to discuss vaccination status. it has become a polarizing issue that hospitals say is so important if they're going to get any kind of relief. overseas,boris johnson is resisting calls to resign amid a growing scandal known as partygate. scotland yard is now investigating several events attended by johnson and his staff that happened at government offices during a strict covid lockdown. mts that yep has more from downing street. ♪ happy birthday to you ♪ >> reporter: never before has a bit of birthday cake got a british prime minister into so much trouble. after visiting this school in 2020 boris johnson allegedly attended a party in his honor at 10 downing street, a violation

of covid rules at the time that is part of the rapidly growing scandal known as partygate, a scandal the police are now investigating. >> i can confirm that the met is now investigating a number of events that took place at downing street. >> reporter: those potential breaches, and there are many, were back when britain was implementing some of its strictest lockdown measures, measures so strict the queen had to sit alone at her husband prince philip's funeral. when johnson, who after battling covid himself, was issuing warnings like this. >> if you don't follow the rules, the police will have the powers to enforce them. >> reporter: "guardian" newspaper columnist ad adicha chakraborti. >> he was also the guy who told the country stay indoors, don't socialize, keep two meters distance. don't have parties. and then what do we find out two years later? we find out he's been having parties. >> reporter: in britain's

general motors says it's supercharging the company's shift to electric vehicles. gm is investing nearly $7 billion in michigan to build a new battery plant and overhaul an existing factory to make electric trucks. overall, gm says it it plans to spend $35 billion by 2025 to produce electric vehicles. cbs's ben tracy sat down with general motors ceo mary barra to talk about the automaker's future and recent setbacks. >> we want to lead in evs. full stop. and so that's where we're aggressively moving. >> reporter: we met up with gm ceo mary barra at factory zero, gm's first assembly plant for zero emissions electric vehicles. this is where they make the electric hummer. >> so the hummer is no longer a gas guzzler. >> not at all, no.

>> reporter: but a huge truck that costs more than $100,000 is not what most americans want or can afford. so gm is now spending $4 billion to overhaul its plant in orion, michigan to start making an electric version of one of its most popular models, the chevy silverado pickup truck. starting priceless, about $40,000. >> you seem to be doubling down on the pickup truck as kind of your next big push. >> we lead in truck share in this country. it is a franchise for us. you know, we're going to defend our position. and we plan to grow it. >> reporter: the competition is fierce. ford starts delivering its electric f150 pickup this spring. and tesla is hyping its futuristic cybertruck. what do you think will be your first true mass market car at a price point most americans can after? >> the eke win x ev crossover is

going to start around $30,000. and we've also shared we're working on a vehicle that will even be more affordable than that. >> reporter: barra says the transition to electric vehicles is now inevitable. it's also seen as essential to reducing carbon emissions from gas-powered vehicles that are helping to rapidly warm the planet. gm believes it can drive down the costs of evs and more quickly roll out new models because of its customizal battery system called altium. it's the platform all of its future evs will run on. gm is now building massive battery plants in ohio and tennessee and just announced a new $2.6 billion battery facility in lansing, michigan. >> i think we're incredibly well positioned. and we're not going to cede our leadership position to anyone. >> reporter: barra is trying to position gm as the leader in electric vehicles, promising to go all electric by 2035. but right now tesla commands nearly 70% of ev sales in the u.s. while gm is only about 6%

of the market. tesla ceo elon musk recently troled gm on twitter saying "hypothetically, if they did make lots of america cars, then they would be the leader." so what do you mean by that when you say you are the leader? >> when you look at how many vehicles we're going to be able to launch across many segments, that's why by mid decade we think we'll be in a leadership position. >> so you think you can catch tesla by 2025, 2026? >> clearly that's what we're working from a north america perspective and we're just going to keep going until we have global leadership as well. >> general motors is issuing its second recall in less than a year for tens of thousands of chevy bolt electric cars. >> there have been setbacks. last summer gm was forced to recall all of its chevy bolt and boat euvs due to concerns over battery fires. the recall coupled with a shortage of critical computer chips sent gm's ev sales plummeting to just 26 vehicles in the fourth quarter of last year. how much of a gut punch was that

when that happened? >> it's always hard. but you know, we're -- one of my mantras is you have to do the right thing even when ■it'sard. it was disappointing, yes. but we just did the right thing. >> and what do you say to somebody now who says yeah, i'm interested in buying an ev but i'm not sure they're safe? >> i think people have to look at who's got the experience. we have a lot of learning built into the electric vehicles general motors is producing. >> reporter: and barra says guiding gm into an all-electric future is one of the highlights of her career. >> it will be a very different company. and you know, i've been at general motors my whole career and i can't -- i'm so excited about where we're headed. >> reporter: ben tracy, detroit. the "cbs overnight news" will be right back.
