arabi, obliterated. homes ripped off their foundations. to see it now is horrifying enough-- to experience it? sheer terror. >> i honestly didn't think i was going to live through this one. the sensation, the wind, the sound. i thought we were going to die. we barely made it into the room. five, ten more seconds, we would have been in the hallway. which is nothing. >> reporter: this is how alyssa wineski's home used to look. here's what remains. she survived on the floor of her bathroom, as her husband threw himself on top of her and their one-year-old child. once they made it through -- >> we're a tight-knit community, we're a tight-knit street. we're screaming for each other, and then when we look over and see connor's house, all we could do is scream for him. >> reporter: connor lambert. he used to play football at the local high school. he was her next-door neighbor. and then we see his car wrapped around the tree. >> yes. >> reporter: and then you find out he was the one who died. >> yes.

>> reporter: lambert was 25. this afternoon, louisiana's governor came by this street to survey the damage and to offer comfort. what's further shocking is the scope of the damage. conor lamb bert lived right there. that's all that's left. the tornado lifted his home and literally tossed it over the yellow house and around it to where it landed on another home. connor and his dog died. and this is his truck, wrapped around that tree in his front yard. norah? >> oh, my gosh. sending prayers to all those people and their families. david begnaud, thank you. tributes are pouring in tonight for a titan of 20th century diplomacy. madeleine albright, the first woman to serve as u.s. secretary of state, has died of cancer at the age of 84. she served under president bill clinton, and in a statement, the former president and hilary clinton said of albright tonight, few leaders have been

so perfectly suited for the times in which they served. cbs' major garrett has more. >> reporter: when madeleine albright made history as the first female secretary of state in 1997, she also became the highest ranking woman ever in american government. albright rose from u.s. ambassador to the united nations where she famously backed nato bombing to halt war crimes against bosnian muslims. and she had a reputation for tough talk, like this after cuba shot down two u.s. civilian planes flown by exiles. >> this is not cajones. this is cowardice. >> reporter: albright was born in czechoslovakia in 1937. her family was forced to flee the nazis, coming to america as refugees in 1948. as secretary of state, albright clashed with saddam hussein in iraq, and became the highest ranking u.s. official to meet north korea's kim jong-il. albright mixed it up well with men, but looked out for women. >> the most famous thing i ever said was that there's a special

is this a model that the rest of the country could follow to solve the teacher shortage? >> now that it's registered, absolutely. >> reporter: would give mr. winn an "a"? nice. could anyone tell me-- you feel good, right? >> they're generous.

significant step, formally accusing russian troops of committing war crimes-- bombing schools and hospitals, and killing civilians. the secretary of state said america will work with others to prosecute the offenders. we have a lot of news to get to tonight, and we'll start with cbs' debora patta in kyiv. good evening, debora. >> reporter: good evening, norah. well, cbs has learned from a senior defense official that russians have fired more than 1,200 missiles since the war began 28 days ago, with devastating effect. and we should warn you, that what you're about to see may be disturbing. from the sky, mariupol looks like a ghost town, but trapped inside, at least 100,000 civilians without food or water, as russia intensifies its efforts to pound the city into submission. in chernihiv, russian bombs obliterated this bridge, cutting off the main escape route for civilians fleeing the horror. and in the country's second-largest city of kharkiv, the historical center came under

attack. and yet, in the face of what the u.s. government now formally called russian war crimes, ukrainians remain defiant. the biggest prize, kyiv, is under daily attack. today, another residential area was hit. >> it was many, many bombs. >> reporter: but russia has suffered heavy losses.

this is the cbs "overnight news." hey there, everyone, i'm errol barnett in washington. thanks for staying with us. joe biden is in brussels, belgium this morning for what's described as an extraordinary summit of the nato alliance. it usually takes months to gather so many world leaders, but the russian invasion of ukraine has brought a new focus and urgency to the alliance. chief washington correspondent major garrett looks at the history of nato and its many challenges over the decades. >> reporter: nato has never faced a test like this. a hot war in europe with

terrifying conventional weapons and the possibility of worse -- nuclear, biological, chemical weapons. nato is not defending a member country, but it has grown unified in everything this alliance was created to preserve. >> on april 4, 1949, the north atlantic treaty was formed. the treaty members realized that real peace is more than an absence of war. >> reporter: america and europe also wanted to contain germany, the aggressor nation in both world wars. >> the unofficial purpose, as it was quietly rulered at the time, was to keep the soviets americ keep the germans down. >> reporter: in the late '40s, the soviets controlled east germany. >> the united states, together with our allies l defend every inch of nato territory.

>> reporter: the key to nato is article v, an attack on one member nation is an attack on the alliance, and all nations must respond in common defense. that kept the peace for decades. in 1979, when the soviets invaded afghanistan, nato deployed nuclear missiles as a deterrent. when the berlin wall fell in 1 t 89 unified. then came 9/11. nato came to america's defense, invoking article v for the first time with natoce joining the u.s. in afghanistan for the next 20 years. >> this was an act of great friendship, in a time of great need. >> reporter: in 2004, nato added seven former soviet client states and has expanded since then, to its current size of 30 member nations. this expansion alarmed and infuriated vladamir putin, who saw nato, a defensive alliance, as a military and mitt call live

at, one that might deprive russia of global prominence. >> i think it was the right decision to expand. >> reporter: kay bailey hutchinson was u.s. ambassador to nato during the trump administration. >> if we hadn't gone out and brought those former soviet satellite countries in with us, i think they would be the ones that would be invaded right now. >> reporter: while it expanded, the alliance drifted. >> if we got collective defense, everybody has to chip in. >> reporter: and amplified by president trump. >> they will have to pay more frankly. they'll have to pay more. >> they didn't like the tone that president trump used, of course. but they never, ever said one time that they didn't know they had to do more. >> reporter: trump says he helped revive the alliance, though critics said threatening to pull out did the opposite. nato talked off and on of adding

ukraine but never did. that's why nato did not intervene when putin took crimea in 2014 and isn't fighting russia now. this war is now about russia taking control of all of ukraine, if it can. if that happens, ukraine would never become a part of nato. ukraine is fighting for its very survival, and its future. and if it prevails, it may not need or want common defense, protection, or may want it more than ever. either way, nato is not far from the bloody center of this conflict. >> that was our major garrett at the white house. as the war enters its fifth week, there are signs the ukrainian army and civilian militia are driving russian troops back from some key cities and towns. while the russians continue to devastate communities with missiles and artillery fire, on many fronts they've been brought to a standstill. holly williams is 100 miles west of kyiv where citizen soldiers are holding their ground. >> reporter: from the air,

russia continues to rain death and destruction on this country. this school was hit by a russian air strike early this month, according to ukrainian officials, though nobody was killed. but on the ground, ukrainian forces are on the counteroffensive. while russia is struggling to supply troops with fuel and food, according to a senior u.s. defense official. this video appears to show a column of russian military vehicles being lured into a trap earlier this month. helping with the ambush was a shopkeeper, alexander. [ explosion ] [ gunfire ] nearly a month after russia invaded its neighbor, its ground forces have made surprisingly slow progress. ukraine's military says it recapture a town on monday, a key strategic gateway to the capital kyiv. and across ukraine, ordinary people have mobilized to defend their homeland. at this checkpoint, we met a pig

farmer. armed with his own hunting rifle. he told us the biggest thing he ever shot before was a goat, but now he's ready to fight the russians. with an improvised bomb shelter dug out by the roadside. this is your protection from missiles and air strikes? they've got tire spikes and other obstacles to stop a russian advance. this is to throw in front of the tanks to disable them. and vitali showed us the molotov cocktails. would you be willing to give up some of ukraine's territory for peace? "it's impossible to give our territory away. i won't agree to anything else." ukraine's fighting spirit is breathtaking. the ingenuity and bravery of its people, extraordinary. but from the air, russia is

leaving carnage in its path. this hospital was decimated by a russian missile strike on monday, say ukrainian officials, killing three. and russia has even deadlier weapons at its disposal. in an interview yesterday, the kremlin spokesman repeatedly refused to rule out using nuclear weapon it is russia faced a "existential threat." >> holly williams, outside kyiv. closer to home, the war in ukraine is blamed by some for the recent spike in oil prices. others blame big oil companies for price gouging and calling for a new tax on their profits. but not all the crude comes from big producers. we spoke to some small operators in oklahoma who say the high price of oil is a luinery can't for the economy.

>> reporter: hidden between the barns is darlene wallace's fortune. wallace operates 13 small oil wells near seminal, oklahoma, known as stripper wells. producing up to 15 barrels a day for columbus oil company. there are about 400,000 operational stripper wells in the united states. it's not a high producing well. that's why they call them stripper wells, because we're stripping the last bit of oil that we can get. >> anything under $50 a barrel we lose money. >> reporter: tim poplin showed us a sample. >> this is the saltwater, and this is will cox oil. if you look, it's not across the top. >> reporter: as long as oil is over $50 a barrel, it's worth doing the work for? >> yes, yes. >> reporter: oil prices have been especially volatile in the last five years. and the boom and bust of the oil patch can have a major impact on small producers, like columbus

oil. >> all of our wells shut down when it went to a minus number in april. we shut everything down because you can't pay someone to pick up your oil. >> reporter: you had to shut down for two months? >> yeah. >> what was that like? >> it was like not getting a paycheck. >> reporter: now that number has reached about $115 a barrel. a pain at the pump for the consumer, but a boom for her small business. z >> this is my rainy day fund, because that crash will come. this business is very cyclic. >> even though it's 10 to 15 barrels a day, do you think you can help the american economy when it comes to american supply? >> we produce 10% of the oil. >> report ed hurst says even though oil isn't in a boom, it's not u.s. easy to turn on the

purposes. it can take months to get them online. and the workforce has take an beating. in the last ten years, the sector has lost more than 50,000 employees. >> so when people are saying, you know, we have enough domestic supply to bring out of the ground and alleviate the pain at the pump, is that true? >> oh, that's absolutely true. it just requires capital. our wells are not the most productive in the world, our wells are the most expensive oil wells in the world to drill because we don't get the huge output that say a saudi well does. it's just a matter of dollars and cents. and no one is going to start drilling unless they can see ■a path forward to getting revenue and profits. >> reporter: wallace won't slow down, and plans to keep pushing production of her small wells. >> wells are in the rural area, they're not in urban areas. and we give people in rural areas jobs. we can't let our rural areas

dissipate because there are no jobs. >> reporter: she says it may not help wall street, but it helps main listen, i'm done settling. because this is my secret. i put it on once, no more touch ups! secret had ph balancing minerals; and it helps eliminate odor, instead of just masking it. so pull it in close. secret works.
