process to allow it to continue gaining weight. i'm tom hanson, cbs news, new york. >> announcer: this is the "cbs overnight news." good evening, and thank you for joining us. the eyes of the world are on ukraine tonight, and with close to 160,000 russian troops still in attack positions, president biden believes the threat of an invasion remains very high. the defense secretary today said russia appears to be setting the stage for war, adding combat aircraft and stocking up on blood supply in case of battle field casualties. tonight officials are accusing russian-backed forces of firing shells at a school in eastern ukraine and in a broadcast exclusive, we are inside that kindergarten. but in the hopes of settling the crisis through diplomacy,

secretary of state -- the secretary of state made an unscheduled stop at the united nations today delivering an pas. we have the story covered from every aingimea , the front lines in ukraine to washington. cbs's ed o'keefe is going to start us off from the white house. good evening, ed. >> reporter: good evening, norah. the developments you mentioned have president biden and top officials deeply concerned vladimir putin is on the verge of launching a full-scale invasion. even as russian troops inch close tore ukraine, the biden administration is pushing for a diplomatic exclusion. tonight over 6000 american troops are in position in eastern europe while the russian military continues to show off its firepower. the number of soldiers president putin has assembled, 160,000, almost half 30 miles from the ukrainian border. despite russian state media showing russian troops withdrawing as putin has claimed, president biden today says he's convinced an invasion is i am next slide, please.

>> they have not moved. they moved more troops in. my sense is it will happen in the next several days. >> reporter: the president also accused russia of sparking a false flag where a school was bombed. the russian-backed separatisted traded blame. secretary of state antony blinken said the incident is exactly what the u.s. is warning could happen. >> russia plans to manufacture a pretext for its attack. we don't know exactly the form it will take. it could be a fabricated so-called terrorist bombing inside russia. the invented discovery of a mass grave. a staged drone strike against civilians. or a fake, even a real attack using chemical weapons. >> reporter: despite the dire warnings, blinken urged russia to engage in dialogue and diplomacy. >> let me be clear. i am here today, not to start a

war, but to prevent one. >> reporter: but the russians took a different diplomatic approach, expelling the second ranking american from the embassy in moscow, something u.s. officials call baseless. in written responses last month, russia warned if the u.s. and nato don't agree to keep ukraine out of the military alliance, russia will be forced to respond with measures of a military technical nature. also tonight, vice president harris is in germany for a major global security conference. her biggest moment yet on the world stage. aides say she is set to focus rallying european allies against russian aggression and plans to meet saturday with ukraine's president. norah? >> ed o'keefe, thank you. now to the front lines in ukraine and the village that was allegedly shelled by those russian-backed forces in a possible false flag operation, children were forced to take shelter in the basement during the attack. cbs's holly williams was the only broadcast network correspondent who visited the

school. >> reporter: ukraineruian-ba sed heavy artillery into this village reportedly hitting three people and hitting this kindergarten. you can see some of the damage. this is where children would normally have been playing. reportedly, some of the children took shelter in the basement here. others were evacuated by their parents. it must have been terrifying for the children involved. we understand that none of them were injured. we were transported out here by ukraine's military this afternoon. ukraine very obviously wants the world media to see this. there is clearly a sense of outrage. now, ukraine has been fighting a war against russian-backed separatists here in the far east of ukraine since 2014. it is a bloody conflict. ukraine says that more than 14,000 people have lost their lives. but now with more than 150,000 russian troops reported to be massed along ukraine's borders, there are fears repeatedly express bid the u.s. and its

allies russia could stage or provoke a violent incident as a pretext, as a justification for moving in. in fact, the u.s. says it now has reason to believe that just such an operation, a so-called false flag operation, is underway. if that's true, in this part of the world that's already on edge, it's a very dangerous game. >> holly williams in ukraine for us. thank you. in a major defeat for donald trump, a new york judge today ruled the former president and ivanka and donald trump, jr., must testify under oath in the civil investigation into his business practices. cbs's catherine herridge has more. >> reporter: the eight-page ruling means state attorney general letitia james can question president trump, don junior and ivanka as part of a civil inquiry. the court set a short time line, ruling the trumps must comply in full with existing subpoenas to provide records and sit for

>> norah, even before the ruling they indicated they would appeal and that could delay or even de-sink the depositions altogether. >> catherine herridge, thank you. >> you're welcome. >> tonight the pentagon is reporting a record number of sexual assaults at u.s. military service academies. 131 assaults were reported during the 2020-2021 school year. that is up 7% from 2019. when students were on campus all year. officials say part of the reason is the victims are more comfortable coming forward and reporting the incidents. all right. a safety warning tonight from the fda for powdered infant formulas. the agency is vehiinvestigating complaints of four incidents and one death. the fda is advising parents not to use certain batches of similac, as limentum or elecare. they will do whatever it takes to resolve the swangs.

elevated above the general population. >> these chemicals are known to cause harm a long time. this gear was being supplied to us to protect us. >> reporter: pfas are a group of artificial compounds that make pans non-stick and other materials waterproof and fire retardant. there are health effects and protective gear worn by firefighters. >> once we manufacture them, they last forever. they migrate through different systems. if they're inhaled or ingested by humans, they'll end up in your body and stay there many years. >> reporter: notre dame physics professor had already been studying the presence of pfas in the environment when the wife of another firefighter with prostate cancer convinced him to take a look at the turnout gear. >> so this is where the particles come out of the accelerator. >> reporter: at the nuclear research lab they analyzed 30 different sets of protective

gear, noting an outer shell, moisture barrier and thermal liner. >> the outer layer of this gear was highly flourinated >> reporter: his research has been cited in the lawsuits. meanwhile, the fire fighting community is grappling with staggering rates of cancer. since 2015, nearly three out of four firefighters added to the iaff fallen firefighter memorial have died from so-called occupational cancer. even more have been diagnosed. >> i was kind of hit like a mack truck. >> reporter: mark, a fire captain for the city of gilroy, california, found out he had stage 1 cancer after an accident caused a tumor on his kidney to burst. >> when i was laid out in that hospital bed for eight days, that was belittling to me

because i thought of myself as pretty tough guy. but laying there helped us trying to figure out what was going on. that was a whole 'nother game. >> reporter: retired san jose, california, investigator battled multiple cancers. >> i had breast cancer in both breasts. a double mastectomy, the fourth year, the bladder cancer reoccurred. for four years i battled, and i just couldn't stay on the job. >> reporter: all three of you are cancer free as we speak? >> no. >> reporter: retired san jose captain dan has upped gone radiation and hormone therapy. >> it depends how aggressive we take care of it, how aggressive the cancer itself gets. >> reporter: all three believe they would have been cancer free if not for their uniforms. they joined a lawsuit in 2020 alleging that pfas in their gear

caused their illnesses. they're seeking damages from companies that make pfas and manufacture turnout gear. what part of your brain, if any part, was considering the risk of the gear you were wearing? >> zero. >> nothing, ever. >> reporter: your gear was almost attached to your hip. >> the training and everything else, we're going to do dangerous stuff. you're going to do the best to protect yourself, put this gear on and go do it. >> it was so en grained in us it was a safety thing. it was the thing that i wore, the thing i let my daughter dress up in because she wanted to look like mom. >> reporter: would you recommend this line of work for your children and grandchildren? >> i steered my daughter away from it. you don't want your kids to go through this. >> reporter: seems like it was a hard conversation to have. >> it still is. you know, your kids look up to you. they thought i was invincible.

years early. what kind of loss is that? >> that's eight years that i don't get to spend with my brothers in the firehouse, eight years that i don't get to share the experience with my son. it's a lot to miss. >> the firefighters aren't suing the fire departments they serve, but in addition to companies that make the checals and the turnout gear, the lawsuits name as defendants the makers of fire fighting foam. all the defendants have denied any wrongdoing, and claim their products are safe, meet or exceed the applicable industry standards, and enable firefighters to do their jobs s two minutes. facing expensive vitamin c creams with dull results? olay brightens it up with new olay vitamin c. gives you two times brighter skin. hydrates better than the 100, 200, even $400 cream. see, my skin looks more even, and way brighter. dullness? so done.
