saying unless they believe the time of international law is gone they must act immediately. world leaders were left stunned, silent as he shared stomach-churning footage of dead civilians and alleged women were raped in front of their families. well, tonight the secretary of state called what happened in this city outside kyiv a deliberate campaign to kill. and in a chilling new charge america's u.n. ambassador alleged that tens of thousands of ukrainians were captured and sent to filtration camps, reminiscent of nazi death camps. we have a lot of news to get to tonight, starting with cbs's weijia jiang at the white house. good evening, weijia. >> reporter: good evening to you, norah. as those grave images pour out of ukraine, its president is warning that this is only the beginning and that new evidence will soon surface that russia is committing even more war crimes. he also had harsh words for the united nations, you are right, he criticized them for failing to stop the violence. before an audience of the world's top diplomats, ukrainian

president volodymyr zelenskyy called out the united nations for having what he described as a broken system that has no power to stop the war. >> translator: are you ready to close up the u.n.? if your answer is no, then you need to act immediately. >> reporter: zelenskyy likened the russian soldiers accused of carrying out war crimes in bucha to isis terrorists. >> re >> translator: they cut off limbs, cut their throats, slashed their throats. women were raped and killed in front of their children. >> reporter: hoping to shock the group into action, zelenskyy showed a gruesome video of the latest atrocities, which were then stunningly disputed by moscow's ambassador to the u.n. who called them a crude forgery. >> translator: during the time that the town was under the control of the russian armed forces not a single civilian suffered from any kind of

violence. >> reporter: with documented evidence of civilians killed in bucha, the biden administration is backing an investigation by the international criminal court, or icc. >> it's a deliberate campaign to k kill, to torture, to rape, to commit atrocities. >> reporter: but neither russia nor the u.s. is party to the icc, made up of 123 nations, which is responsible for holding war crime trials. if putin was ever charged, he would need to be arrested and handed over to the court, which is unlikely. the biden administration will continue to squeeze russia economically. new sanctions expected wednesday will ban all new investment there and impose additional penalties on government officials and their family members. and following those latest brutal acts, several nato nations expelled russian

diplomats this week, and the european union has proposed an all-out ban on russian coal imports. norah? >> weijia jiang at the white house. thank you. let's turn now to ukraine, where officials say they've uncovered more evidence of atrocities committed by russian forces. president zelenskyy said these are the worst war crimes since world war ii and he is calling for a nuremberg-style tribunal to investigate and prosecute any russians involved. cbs's holly williams is in ukraine. >> reporter: more sickening stories are emerging from the town of bucha. tanya nedazkivska said her husband vasyl was taken away by russian troops and she later found his body dumped at the bottom of a staircase. she buried him in the garden of their apartment building. "please, i'm begging you," she weeps. "for all the wives and mothers, make peace so no one ever grieves again." while russia claims these scenes in bucha including civilians apparently executed were somehow

faked, this satellite image appears to show bodies littering the street in the town on the 19th of march when it was occupied by russian forces. and witnesses have detailed and compelling stories. this man described the russian troops shooting people as if they were on safari. "they were all drunk," he says. "they were walking around saying we have orders to kill you." but ukraine says bucha is just the tip of the iceberg and the city of mariupol may have experienced even worse horrors. they can't be counted yet because it's still under siege with around 100,000 people thought to be trapped. a red cross evacuation convoy had to turn back today after being detained by russian forces. some are still making it out including 10-year-old milan and his sister ilona, who we found sitting silently in an evacuation center, apparently

shell-shocked. "my heart stopped every time there was an explosion," milan told us. "i was crying constantly and dragging my parents to the basement." for ukrainians the slaughter of their own people is heartrending, enraging and fueling the fight to protect their homeland and their freedom, whatever the soldiers wounded on the front line. we can't show their faces for security reasons. igor told us he was injured in a firefight with the russians. he's a father of four children. "when i see kids being killed, they aren't guilty of anything," he told us. "russia should be isolated, and i want putin dead." nato's secretary-general said today that russia will likely launch a new offensive in the coming weeks targeting ukraine's eastern region. norah? >> holly williams with that reporting in ukraine, thank you. let's turn now to some breaking

news back here at home as millions of americans are in the path of a dangerous storm system. tonight there are reports of more than two dozen tornadoes, and the threat continues into the night. cbs's mark strassmann is in hard-hit decatur, georgia. good evening, mark. >> reporter: good evening, norah. the skies have cleared here in suburban atlanta, but not before at least 14 reported tornadoes touched down across georgia, part of a punishing storm system that hit this house before moving on to south carolina. >> what you're seeing is a tornado. allendale, south carolina. >> reporter: the skies lit up with tornadoes tearing across the south. this giant twister was seen outside of allendale, south carolina. a town of about 3,000 people is believed to have taken a direct hit. the storm system spawned at least 25 tornadoes across the south. it moved through several states including louisiana, alabama and mississippi. in texas at least four people had to be rescued from flash flooding.

through south carolina and georgia the storm downed trees and power lines and left a trail of damage. >> it's going to be a rough night for many people. ma 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 $400 cream. i have a secret. i'm done settling. because this is my secret. no really! i put it on once... no more touch-ups! because this stick actually works! secret had ph balancing minerals; and it helps eliminate odor, instead of just masking it. so no more t-rex waves or covering up stinky pits when you're not cold. pull it in close. just trust me. secret works. ordinary tissues burn when theo blows. so puffs plus lotion rescued his nose. with up to 50% more lotion,

>> announcer: this is the "cbs overnight news." i'm nicole killion in washington. thanks for staying with us. ukrainian president volodymyr zelenskyy addressed the united nations security council over a video feed. he recounted the atrocities committed by russian troops in the town of bucha and said the world will see even worse in other areas vacated by moscow's forces. >> translator: in the memory of the civilins who died, who were shot and killed in the back of their head after being tortured, some of them were shot on the streets. others were thrown into the wells. so they died there in suffering.

they were killed in their apartments, houses, blowing up, grenades. civilians were crushed by tanks while sitting in their cars in the middle of the road. just for their pleasure. they cut off limbs, cut their throats, slashed their throats. women were raped and killed in front of their children. they were -- their tongues were pulled out only because the aggressor did not hear what they wanted to hear from them. >> zell nsky said the russians have violated the charter of the united nations and he prodded the council to revoke moscow's veto power over security council resolutions. meanwhile, inside ukraine each day brings more evidence of war crimes by russian troops. debora patta and her crew traveled to bucha for this report. >> reporter: russia has actually denied killing unarmed civilians, saying the deaths occurred after they'd left the area. but newly released satellite photos show bodies strewn across

the town long before russian troops bid a hasty retreat. and when we visited bucha we saw undeniable evidence of atrocities. we warn you, these images are disturbing. this is what war crimes look like. defenseless civilians shot in the head with their hands bound. residents taking their last ride. mass graves filled with the bodies of nearly 300 executed people. this couple thought they'd recognized their son's arm in one of them. it was not him. their grim search continues. when we visited bucha, we saw a trail of destruction and death. in a basement we stumbled on the body of this man. he appears to have been blindfolded, hands tied behind his back. the rudimentary safety helmet he wears no defense against a bullet to the head. yuri saw russian soldiers bring him here. "they were taking him at gunpoint," he told us.

russian troops set up camp in a courtyard outside his apartment block. their presence still felt in the discarded beer bottles, empty munition boxes and overturned cars. on the first day of the invasion russian paratroopers spilled onto the tarmac of the nearby airport. this is what's left of hostomel airport where one of the most significant battles of this war was fought, preventing the russians from taking it over. it's an apocalyptic vision. the crumpled, melted frame of the world's largest plane testament to the fierce fight that stopped russian forces from setting up a supply line here. but it could not halt their invasion of nearby bucha and the horror that followed. tanya nedazhkivska found her dead husband in a pile of bodies at the foot of a basement staircase. "i'm begging you to do something. make peace so no one ever

grieves again," she sobs. "everyone just wants to live." the tears of a widow demanding to be heard, imploring the world not to look away. and i need to point out that i'm really finding it hard to understand why questions are even being raised about the veracity of these terrible images. i've covered many conflict zones and witnessed some of the most brutal atrocities of the century, and frankly what you saw in bucha is among some of the worst i've seen. i personally saw evidence of war crimes. and these stories can't be staged. and the overwhelming grief that i've witnessed, that just can't be manufactured. >> that was debora patta reporting from kyiv. putin's war has forced more than 10 million ukrainians from their homes. nearly 4.5 million have left the country, some seeking to enter the u.s. through our southern border. they arrive amid a new debate over immigration, specifically

efforts to end a pandemic-era policy called title 42. the measure has been used to prevent migrants and asylum seekers from entering the u.s. on the claim that they are a danger to public health. the biden administration wants to end that policy, but some states are suing to keep it in place. manuel bojorquez picks up the story in tijuana, mexico. >> reporter: ukrainian war refugees are allowed in. but asylum seekers from other countries, that is a different category and different story. and they tell us the real crisis at the border is the one they've been living for months, stuck on this side, sometimes in dangerous situations and unable to apply for asylum at all. huddled together at a migrant shelter near the u.s.-mexico border, this family is on the run. 36 people total. they say they're being extorted by gangs back home in mitch wa cannes, considered one of

mexico's most dangerous states. and played us a threatening voice message. "you'll pay the consequences. if you don't cooperate." they've been here for seven months, unable to file for asylum in the u.s. due to title 42. but title 42 hasn't kept out all migrants. refugees from war-torn ukraine are entering the u.s. through the southern border. so they said "no asylum." that it was closed. [ speaking foreign language ] title 42. >> si. >> reporter: some democrats have joined republicans in cautioning against what they consider a rushed end to the policy. both arizona senators, democrats kyrsten sinema and mark kelly, released a joint statement. kelly calling it the wrong decision. and sinema saying the move shows a lack of understanding about the crisis at our border. the white house says it anticipates a sharp rise in migrants and is sending additional resources to the

border. >> title 42 is a public health directive. it's not an immigration migration enforcement measure. and the decision on when to lift title 42 was made by the cdc. >> some of them been waiting a year and a half for a permit just to come to the border here because they want to apply, do it legally. but the legal process to allow them to come all the way over here takes too long. >> reporter: still, pastor rivera says the biggest factors remain the violence and poverty afflicting parts of latin america and driving people north. the end of title 42 will not signal the end of another trump-era policy, the remain in mexico policy, which a federal court ordered the biden administration to continue. so that means that likely most asylum seekers will still have to remain in mexico as their cases are being ing decided. >> manuel bojorquez reporting from tijuana, mexico. the "overnight news" is back in two minutes. after years on the battlefield and multiple concussions, migraine attacks followed me home. i wasn't there for my family and i was barely functioning.
