judge ketanji brown jackson would rule as a justice. >> what do you say to people who say you're soft on crime or even anti-law enforcement? >> as someone who has had family members on patrol and in the line of fire, i care deeply about public safety. >> reporter: democratic judiciary committee chair dick durbin opened the day with questions from the republican play book, giving jackson a chance to preempt expected lines of attack, including allegations as a judge she was lenient in sentencing child pornography offenders. >> as a mother and a judge who has had to deal with these cases, i was thinking that nothing could be further from the truth. >> reporter: that was a preview of one of the day's testier exchanges with senator ted cruz, a harvard law school classmate. >> do you believe the voice of the children is heard? >> yes, senator, i do.

>> could you explain how? >> your chart does not include all of the factors that congress has told judges to. >> reporter: two major law enforcement organizations have endorsed jackson and even some opponents have called similar attacks baseless. >> in every case, i did my duty to hold the defendants accountable in light of the evidence and the information that was presented to me. >> reporter: republicans also focused on her representation of detainees at guantanamo, and whether she would consider race in her decisions. democrats considered back to defend her and asked jackson why her historic nomination matters. >> one of the things that having diverse members of the court does, is it provides for the opportunity for role models. >> reporter: now, jackson will have another full day of questioning tomorrow, but so far, these hearings have been pretty tame, just not a lot for

republicans to work with. president biden watched some of her testimony this morning and the white house told us he thought she did well. jericka. >> jan crawford for us, thank you. cbs' robert costa spent the day on capitol hill speaking to senators from both parties about their strategies for the confirmation hearings. robert, good evening to you. what are they telling you? what are you hearing from them in terms of their strategies? >> reporter: when i pulled aside senators in both parties, it was clear, based on those conversations, that they see this as a legal battlefield but also a political one, so many issues playing out in the midterm elections coming up ahead of november are also playing out in these hearings. senator ted cruz, for example, a republican of texas, told me he's going to be asking about crime. republicans are also talking about crime on the campaign trail. >> when you look at the history of this process to become a supreme court justice, only six people have been through it, and then did not get the confirmation. when you look at what's

happening right now, how is she faring? do you see any roadblocks, i guess, especially after speaking to people on both sides? >> reporter: based on my reporting today, my informal whip count is that some repu icans could actually v e for judge jackson. keep an eye on senator susan collins of maine, a more centrist republican. same with senator lisa murkoswki of alaska. they voted for her confirmation to the federal bench last year. could come along this time. the white house feels they are in play. who is not in play? senator lindsey graham. he voted for her confirmation last year, but not this time around. >> we will see what happens. robert costa, thank you. well, there was a horrific accident to tell you about in tishomingo, oklahoma, just about two hours south of oklahoma city. six high school girls were killed when their car collided at an intersection with a semi truck. the cause of the crash is under investigation tonight. high school officials say that grief counselors are available for those students.

parliament and efforts to bolster nato defenses along the border. >> this is the cbs overnight news. >> good evening and thanks for joining us. nearly a month after invading ukraine russian forces on their heels. ukrainian forces have retaken a important time outside the capital of kyiv. russian forces responded with

air strikes. the u.s. now has evidence that russia is deliberately and intentionally targeting civilians including hospitals and evacuation shelters. ahead of president biden's trip to meet with our nato leaders on thursday, the president says vladimir putin's back is agains the wall but ukraine's resistance is causing fear putin may resort to using chemical or other measures. >> as you can see it is almost completely dark here in uman. there is a nighttime curfew in place. three people were killed when this hospital was decimated by a russian missile strike

yesterday, according to ukrainian officials. ( explosion ) ukraine's government says 10 hospitals have now been completely destroyed in this invasion. "i want to cry because we had a connection between ukraine and russia," said dr. antioli pavlov. and russian cruelty is so brutal. there is carnage in this country, civilians killed in their homes and on the street. the u.s. says it's seen clear evidence the russians are committing war crimes. yet, russia's ground forces have made surprisingly slow progress. ukraine's military says it recaptured the strategically important town just outside the capital kyiv yesterday, and they're now fighting to wrest back control of izyum and kherson, according to senior u.s. defense official. the ukrainians are massively outgunned, but with antitank missiles supplied by the u.s. and the allies, they've destroyed hundreds of russian

armored vehicles, and they've killed up to 9,000 russian soldiers, according to a u.s. official. across ukraine, ordinary people have mobilized to defend their towns and villages. this video, filmed by a shopkeeper, shows him helping to ambush russian tanks. at this checkpoint, we met anitoli. a pig farmer armed with his own hunting rifle. he says the biggest thing he ever shot before was a goat. these are to throw in the way of the tanks? >> yes, yes. >> reporter: vitaly is a green grocer who showed us his home made molotov cocktails. and this is their improvised bomb shelter. this is the protection from missiles and air strikes. >> yes. >> reporter: ukraine's fighting spirit is breathtaking.

the ingenuity and bravery of its people, extraordinary. but make no mistake, life here has been shattered. russia continues to crack down on dissent at home, reportedly detaining around 15,000 people for protesting against the invasion since it began. and today, russia's most prominent opposition figure, alexei navalny, was sentenced to another nine years in prison. jericka. >> holly williams for us in ukraine. thank you. from the war in ukraine to the threats here at home, the biden administration is sounding the alarm of possible cyber-attacks from russia targeting the nation's financial sector, power grids, and water systems. for more on that let's turn to cbs' major garrett at the white house. >> reporter: f.b.i. director christopher wray said today russia appears to be preparing to launch cyber-attack in the u.s.. >> most cyber-attacks don't just happen in an instant. there's activity that leads up to it. there's scanning and

researching, researching of victims, scanning for vulner acts in systems. there's a whole range of preparatory work, which is what we've been seeing. >> reporter: a march 18 f.b.i. bulletin obtained by cbs warned at least 23 u.s. companies that 140 russian-linked i.p. addresses were scanning networks for vulnerability. the bulletin noted the tempo has increased, and five u.s. energy companies appear to be the hackers' current focus. >> the magnitude of russia's cyber-activity is fairly consequential and it's coming. >> reporter: russia has twice used cyber-attacks to disrupt ukraine's power grid, and as president biden prepares for a nato conference on ukraine, the alliance must decide if a russian cyber-attack on a nato member would trigger a unified response. >> we could see circumstances in which a collective response by the-- alliance to a cyber-attack would be called by an ally. that is absolutely something

where we and other countries could bring capabilities to bear to help countries both defend itself and respond to a particular cyber-attack. >> reporter: national security adviser jake sullivan said nato wouldn't necessarily respond militarily to a full-blown cyber-attack. >> that response could take many different forms. >> you know, we are effectively in a war-time situation, and everybody needs to be a part of the team here. >> reporter: chris krebs led federal cyber-security efforts during the trump administration. >> the game plan here for the kremlin is not necessarily actually a technical attack that really disrupts infrastructure. they're trying to get into our heads. they want to distract, they want to create fear and panic here. >> reporter: on the eve of the president's trip to the nato summit in brussels, white house press secretary jen psaki has tested positive for covid, meaning she will not travel. psaki said she had two socially distanced meetings with mr. biden monday. the president, jericka, tested negative today. >> all right, major garrett at

>> this is the cbs overnight news. >> hey there everyone. thanks for staying with us. two days into the pandemic the global supply chain from microchips have driven up the price of everything from games consoles to flat screen tvs and has gotten the attention of congress who is considering a subsidy to chip makers to build newfoundaries but it is a

complicated and expensive process. >> nobody is allowed in here unless you are dressed like me head to toe where it is a thousand times more sanitary than an operating room. the need to put out ten times more than that. how big is the facility? >> this facility is about 420,000 square feet give or take seven football fields. >> reporter: everything looks yellow. special lighting is used to protect the delicate production of microchips. >> how complex is it to make the microchips? they are in everything that we use? >> it is extremely complex. as the demand on capability

increases so is this. >> reporter: the chips are the brains of devices. the u.s. produces around 12% of the world's supply and we relied heavily on chips produced in asia. when the pandemic hit it decreased supply. >> we don't want to rely on foreign entities to give us the brains and guts of what drive our vehicles, devices, cell phones. >> reporter: there is renewed focus of producing more chips at home. the house is currently considering the chips for america act providing u.s. manufacturers with $52 billion in fund to boost american production. >> i think it starts with security.

we employ over 3,000 employees. >> reporter: the ceo, in addition to upstate new york they have facilities in vermont and germany. >> i would like to be more optimist and i can tell you around the corner help is on the way. the complexity of technology that it takes years to bring capacity on. i think the better part of the next five to ten years we will be chasing supply, not demand. >> reporter: the chip shortage cost the u.s. economy around $240 billion last year. a recent report found in 2021 demand for chips was high as 17% more than in 2019. >> this is what everybody wants? >> reporter: they will try to meet demand but need investments and funding through the chips

bill. >> it is really important we have supply chain security in the u.s. with the price of gasoline near an all-time high congress is trying to ease the pain you are feeling at the pump. one taxes oil companies, the third would send out monthly gas checks to help out people with the fuel cost. none are likely to become law but congress and the american people are looking for a scapegoat in the spike in prices and many are blaming the war in ukraine. >> reporter: every morning george updates the prices at his harlem gas station and lately using bigger numbers.

>> ever had an angry driver? >> yeah. >> reporter: last week average prices hit $4.33 a gallon and much higher in some places. because it costs more to transport anything everything costs more. why are gas prices spiking? got to be russia, right? >> no. the problem with energy prices is not just russia. >> reporter: jason is the director at columbia university. he said it started with the pandemic. >> we shut down the global economy, the prices collapse. >> reporter: demand fell and then the supply fell and when the pandemic began to ease up people had more money to spend and a lot are spending it on travel and the oil industry is

trying to ramp production back up. supply chains with cars and other parts of the economy there are bottle necks. >> reporter: they were trying to gear up and russia attacked ukraine. >> much less russian oil is out in the world. that pushes price up for the global oil price. too much demand. not nearly enough supply. we only get 3% of the oil from russia. why does that affect prices here? without the russian oil the countries that usually buy russian oil had to buy other sources. less oil overall, prices go up and including here.

the chief petroleum analyst. >> what about the notion it is the president and his policies? >> the u.s. president is a small cog of a big wheel in supply and demand. a president can attempt to steer one wheel of an 18-wheeler the market is in control of where oil prices go. >> you hear the oil companies are gouging. >> looking at 150,000 gas stations and watching the prices they pay i can tell you in very few if any instances there is gouging. >> reporter: nobody can say when gas prices will drop. covid shutdowns in china have lowered demand. >> the price at the pump is the

price of oil. it is set in a global market. >> reporter: as george ramos puts it. >> we are only pawns in the game. >> reporter: the last domino in a long line.
