this grandmother and mother wish they knew what was best for little alina, only one year old. we have no future, says svetlana, if ukraine doesn't win. and, yet, another reason to flee. today's report russian forces are making lists of ukrainians to be killed or sent away to camps, and the likely use of kidnappings to coerce the local population. norah. >> that is chilling. chris livesay, thanks. a week ago, the world woke up to a war in ukraine, and ukrainians woke up to air raid sirens and a new reality. in that time, 1 million mothers, fathers, sons and daughters became refugees, torn from their homes in search of safety. 1 million goodbyes, to the country they call home. children leaving their fathers behind, fathers hoping to be there when their families return. young love forced to put life on hold.

billions of dollars. other analysts call him the richest man in the world. little is known about putin's fortune. but catherine herridge has been digging into it. >> reporter: putin's government salary is paid in the low six figures, but that doesn't begin to explain the mansions, the million dollar watch collection and the over the top yacht. as russian forces encircled ukraine last month, president vladamir putin's wealth pushed out to sea. this is rare video of "graceful," the $100 million yacht said to be owned by putin. data from a maritime intelligence firm shows "graceful" left germany two weeks before the invasion, sailing for safer russian waters. this satellite image obtained by cbs news shows the yacht docked in a port near russia's nuclear weapons operations. >> he's a kgb agent, so he's crafty. he knows how to hide when he needs to.

>> reporter: john smith. >> it would be fair to say he's among the richest men in the world. >> reporter: while putin showcases his wealth on his wrist, he relies on family connections and incredibly rich friends, known as ololigarchs, shield his fortune from sanctions. >> if he asks them to do something, they do it in terms of hiding assets. they will do what he needs. >> reporter: there's a russian palace that critics say was built for him, including amphitheater, a personal tunnel to the beach that doubles as a security bunker. >> i think he likes the opulence that comes from being the ruler of russia, but it doesn't fit with the public persona that he' he's trying to create. >> reporter: his vast wealth is estimated at more than $100 billion. >> the u.s. and allies have decent information on some of his assets.

i think a lot will remain a mystery. >> reporter: we have one of the stro strongest intelligence communities in the world but we're only scratching the surface? >> we're only scratching the surface. >> reporter: those who take on vladamir putin and allege he's corrupt have paid a personal price. boris nimsoff was assassinated in the shadow of the kremlin. serge died after he exposed a $230 million fraud by putin's friends. and political opponent alexei navalny has been jailed repeatedly for his criticism of the russian president. two years ago, he was poisoned within an inch of his life. >> the putin wealth is one of the most dangerous topics. >> reporter: this russian journalist spent a decade untangling putin's financial web.

us putin's had decades to systematically hide his wealth. >> that was catherine herridge reporting. tiktok is the focus of a new investigation into its imtact on the mental and physical health of users. some experts believe the technology that drives tiktok and other social media sites can promote depression, eating disorders and drug abuse in children and teenagers. that could run afoul of state consumer protection laws. here is that story. >> reporter: with more than a billion users, tiktok has risen to social media dominance. what took facebook more than eight years, youtube an instagram more than seven years, tiktok has done in five. >> the increased use by teens and young people of social media platforms can contribute to increased levels of anxiety, depression, even suicide.

>> reporter: massachusetts attorney general laura haley is part fro acro the country i tiktok's effect on young users. >> it's a bigger problem if the platforms knew about it, and worse if they designed their platforms to essentially get them addicted to the platform. >> reporter: the probe looks at what the app's algorithm does to increase frequency on the app. >> its algorithm seems to know people better than any other alga rhythm has before. >> reporter: an investigation by "the wall street journal" found the app tracks not just what they share and post but the time spent on certain content, then bombards them with recommended videos to keep them on the platform. how does the algorithm know you're into that subject? >> every action you make, which

can by i'm sticking on this video and watch it all the way through or watch it again, it's watching that, too. it's really analyzing every single move you make. >> reporter: michael beckerman, the head of public policy, told cbs the company has safeguards in place. >> we do have an age appropriate experience. we have the tools in place to have -- let parents decide how much they want their teenagers to spend. we give the nudge on taking a break. >> reporter: meta has been under investigation by the same bipartisan coalition and members of congress. >> are there safeguards these companies could be using but choosing not to? >> absolutely. these companies design the technology, so it can be designed in other ways. the cbs "overnight news" will be right back.
