strategies to try to overturn the election, that's the one that feels the most like a banana republic. >> reporter: according to the "times," the ideas were concocted by a team of outside advisers, with mr. trump initially considering an executive order allowing the pentagon to take over the voting machines. h also raised the possibility of the justice department doing it in a meeting with then attorney general william barr. mr. trump eventually prodded his attorney rudy giuliani to call the department of homeland security, which said it did not have legal authority. the revelations come as the select committee increasingly turns its focus to member of the former president's and vice president's inner circle, with expense counsel greg jacob the latest to appear before the panel. it is also poring over hundreds of pages of documents from the national archives which acknowledged some of trump's presidential records had been torn up by the former president and taped together. the former president continues

to lash out at the committee and falsely claimed that pence had the power to overturn the 2020 election. but his grip on the gop remains strong, banking a record $122 million in his campaign war chest. norah? >> nikole killion at the capitol for us. thank you. the "cbs overnight news" will be right back.

preschoolers, especially in the wake of the fast-moving omicron variant that also resulted in a record number of pediatric hospitalizations. cbs's nikki battiste joins us with this late-breaking news. good evening, nikki. >> reporter: norah, good evening. pfizer says tonight it has given the fda data on a two doce vaccine regimen for children ages six months through 4 years old. the doses are 1/10 of an adult's and would be given three weeks apart. pfizer says it also plans to submit data on a third shot for this age group soon. pfizer's request for emergency use authorization of its vaccine means one of the nation's youngest age groups would be eligible for shots, possibly as soon as the end of this month. >> the second it is available we're going to be call our peeled trigs. >> reporter: conz preti has anxiously awaited a vaccine for her 3-year-old son and 2-year-old twins. >> i don't want to get too excited and then have to sort of continue living in this limbo.

>> reporter: in december pfizer announced that two doses of its vaccine did not provide a strong engh iune response in 2 to 4-year-olds, prompting the company to add a third shot to the trial. authorization would come at a pivotal moment. new pediatric cases dropped last week for the first time since early december but remain high. over 100,000 for 25 consecutive weeks. >> i think for parents of young children i would say hang in there. over the next few weeks you're going to see a continued dramatic decline. >> reporter: new orleans today became the first major school district to require its students ages 5 and up be vaccinated. parents can opt out on medical, religious, or philosophical grounds. but with so many parents already hesitant to vaccinate their eligible children experts don't expect authorization for kids under 5 to significantly affect new case numbers. only 38% of 5 to 17-year-olds

are fully vaccinated. do you understand the hesitancy by so many parents? >> of course i do. i encourage parents to talk to their pediatricians, to read trustworthy sources of information, not to go down social media rabbit holes but to look at the real data. vingid the vaccine. >> reporter: i spoke with a member of the fda advisory comittee today, and he told me they would only give authorization if they can clearly see evidence the vaccine is safe and effective. if a third shot is greenlit, it would be given eight weeks after a second dose. norah? >> so many parents waiting for this information. nikki battiste, thank you. well, we turn now to the weather. another major winter storm is brewing tonight that's expected to make travel treacherous from the rockies to new england. cbs's lonnie quinn joins us now with the forecast. hey there, lonnie. >> reporter: hey, norah. the problem with this winter storm is there's an element of freezing rain. and freezing rain is just

regular rain that immediately freezes when it hits the roadways. it's impossible to drive on. currently we have a modest little rain system in the midsection of the country but it's going to transition to snow. this is tomorrow morning. you're looking at midday snow from colorado to the great lakes. you get to thursday morning it's transitioned now to some of that ice, some of that freezing rain. dallas through arkansas, cincinnati, that line of pink, really tough morning commute for you on thursday morning. by friday morning some icy spots, possible around new york city. and by friday 3:00 p.m. it has moved into the boston area with a real mess. snow, sleet, rain, freezing rain, all moving into a city that picked up in some spots up to two feet of snow with the last blizzard. and the icing, as i said, is the biggest problem of all. some areas could be seeing significant icing, not just in the midsection, i know that's where we focus, but even moving to the east. and your snowfall totals especially like around st. louis up toward cleveland could be seeing a pretty decent thump of snow. but watch out for that ice. norah, it's all yours. >> time to stay home by the fire. lonnie quinn, thank you. we turn now to some breaking news because there were two

separate school shootings this afternoon. in virginia two campus police officers were shot and killed at bridgewater college. that's located about 140 miles west of washington, d.c. a suspect has been taken into custody and no further details have been released. nine different agencies including the fbi, state police, and campus police have all responded to the scene. all right. now there's this too. in minnesota one student was killed and another is in critical condition following a shooting outside a suburban minneapolis school. police say the suspects fled the scene and a manhunt is currently under way. we turn now to the growing tensions on the border between russia and ukraine. a sixth shipment of u.s. military equipment arrived in kyiv today as vladimir putin weighed in on the crisis for the first time this year. cbs's holly williams reports tonight from the front lines. >> reporter: in hisn weeks prendi accused the u.s. of trying to contain

russia.

team down. >> as we've heard him do a hundred times, he says -- >> lucy, i'm home. >> what was your approach? did you look at her as two characters? or did you think -- you know, because there's "i love lucy" as in lucy ricardo, and then there's lucille ball. >> yeah. initially because there was the "i love lucy" show and there was so much, i thought i don't know how much is going to be in the film, i have to show up with that just down. and the lucille ball of it was the discovery for me. because all of the interviews, all of the documentary footage, i had access through lucy arnaz, her daughter, to secret recordings and that's when i discovered the woman. and the woman is extraordinary. she's fascinating. and her life is fascinating and an inspiration. >> she loves the crowd and the crowd love her. >> what she sort of came up

and then when i got to swim in them. because lucy doesn't that in the episode, she doesn't swim around in them. that was part of, you know, she's exploring what's funny in her head. >> it must have meant something too that lucy arnaz really embraced you and is very, very complimentary about your performance. bautz she said you really captured the essence of her mother. i would think that would mean the world to you to hear it from her. >> yeah. it's her mama. >> yes. >> it's her mama. and she's watching her mother in not just sort of -- not through rose-colored glasses in the film either. and watching her father because it's desi -- it's called "being the ricardos" for a reason. and it's her parents. and so for her to give both javier and i the thumbs up and say you did it p and she doesn't fake things, that's not lucy.

she's like her mother. >> the way the movie ended it was just so touching and so tender at the same time when you could just see the marriage was ending. >> this is my lipstick. >> she sat next to lucy when she watched it and she was like, "she's weeping." and i think they couldn't make i work because of -- you know, human beings have deep flaws sometimes. but it doesn't mean that the relationship wasn't filled with love. >> reporter: these days nicole kidman is spending time with her love. that's country music superstar keith urban. and their two daughters back in sydney, australia. >> during this pandemic you all sbramted ed celebrated your 1 anniversary. i love that instagram post. nicole kidman and keith urban. please take us behind the scenes of that picture. >> keith's was we're in our pajamas. mine was a little more -- what does that say about us?
