white ethno-state. among the 31 arrested on charges of conspiracy to riot, and released on bond-- thomas rousseau, the patriot front's alleged leader. the group was founded in 2017, after breaking away from a neo-nazi organization that marched in the charlottesville, virginia "unite the right" rally. a group that tracks hate speech said, this image shows rousseau with a man who was later convicted on federal hate crime charges for driving his car into a crowd of protesters, killing one of them. >> there are bad actors out there that want to leverage those moments and intimidate. >> reporter: given the weekend's massive arrests, two federal law enforcement officials tell cbs news they are reassessing threats surrounding upcoming events, like in idaho. a lawyer for one of those arrested told us, the defendants never had a chance to exercise their first amendment rights, and the allegations are unproven. norah. >> o'donnell: catherine herridge, thank you. let's turn now to the weather, where wild storms are causing problems across the several

parts of the country. look at this-- in montana, heavy rains, flooding, and rock slides have forced the closure of all entrances to yellowstone national park. elsewhere, dangerous heat is scorching much of the country, from the plains to the southeast. for more, let's bring in meteorologist mike bettes from our partners at the weather channel. good evening, mike. >> reporter: norah, good evening to you. severe thunderstorms take center-stage this evening and overnight. a place like detroit-- this is our virtual view. it shows you, skies will be very ominous overnight, and in fact, very dangerous. we have a lot of storms across the midwest that could gust over 75 miles per hour. take a look at the high resolution forecast. it shows plenty of storms across michigan and then ohio, spreading into pennsylvania and the virginias overnight and tomorrow morning. very dangerous conditions here, with thunderstorms in the forecast that could bring also tornadoes. same place that gets thunderstorms gets hit with a

heat wave tomorrow. many places, upper 90s to near 100 degrees, including chicago at 99; in st. louis, we'll do 100 on wednesday. 93 in pittsburgh; 98 in detroit. the heat relents a little bit this weekend, norah, but returns next week. >> o'donnell: thank you, mike. the "the cbs overnight news" will be right back.

as secretary of the army? >> to reduce harmful behaviors. you know, whether it's sexual harassment, sexual assault, suicide. >> reporter: secretary wormuth spent the last year visiting 30 bases, meeting with tens of thousands of soldiers. do you still think there's a problem with sexual assault and harassment in the u.s. army? >> i do. you know, we've got a problem in the country, so i know we have it in the army. every leader at every level is focused on this, cares about it, and takes the problem seriously. >> o'donnell: a new government study found reports of sexual harassment and assault in the army continue to rise. >> a lot of it, i think, is training our soldiers-- many of whom are just 18 or 19 years old-- about what's acceptable and what's not acceptable. when they come into our army, we need to be very clear about what's okay and what's not okay. >> o'donnell: congress passed significant military justice reform, taking prosecution of assault cases out of the chain of command. that should help with soldiers who told us they fear

retaliation. >> it got to the point where, i didn't just wish that i never reported-- i wished that i had never joined. i wished that i was dead. >> o'donnell: the reason that many women, and some men, don't report, is the fear of retaliation. >> that's right. >> o'donnell: from the u.s. army itself. >> i think there has been that fear, and i still hear about that, when i go and visit army posts. we are, i believe, making real strides to show our soldiers that they can trust the chain of command to look out for them. >> o'donnell: in all my reporting on this issue, this is a national security problem. we need more women in the u.s. military. >> i agree that you want to have more women in the army, and that, you know, we will be stronger as an army, with more female leaders. i have watched our military leaders go in front of congress ten years ago and say "we're going to fix this problem, we're going to fix this problem." so, i know there's a credibility gap there, but we are working on it every single day. >> o'donnell: a separate

priority for the secretary is improving the quality of life for the army's 400,000 parents. >> we did just put out a new policy that makes some changes in this area. so, for example, in the very sad case of a lost pregnancy, we now provide leave for both men and women when there's been a miscarriage. we've done simple things, frankly, by just allowing women who've given birth to have up to 12 months before they take their physical fitness test. simple things that make complete sense and are really important, in terms of retaining the great soldiers that we have. >> o'donnell: secretary wormuth's career started at the pentagon as a presidential fellow when she was just 22 years old. today, she's the first woman and mom to hold the role as secretary of the army. >> when i go visit army posts, a lot of young female soldiers come up to me and are excited, and i think it's because they see me and see what they can achieve themselves. >> o'donnell: secretary wormuth told cbs news, she wants to encourage people to come forward with sexual misconduct claims. so-- this is news-- she plans to

sign a "safe to report" policy next month which would protect survivors who report assault from getting in trouble if there are other minor disciplinary issues. and still ahead on "cbs evening news," remember this video of the chaotic evacuation of afghanistan? well, tonight, a new report about the crew of that c-17. and, the dramatic rescue-- more than a dozen airlifted from a treacherous canyon. your projects done right . with angi, you can connect with and see ratings and reviews. and when you book and pay throug you're covered by our happiness

time at cbs news.com: reporting from the nation's capitol, i'm norah o'donnell. it is a national treasure thousands flock to this time of year, yellow stone national park is being hit with massive flooding. all entrances are closed and tourists have had to be ushered out of someplaces all due to heavy rains and melting snow. ohio's republican governor has signed a bill in to law that will allow school employees to be armed with a gun after a day of training. it takes affect in the fall and the schools can provide additional training if they wish. and actor baker hall, known for his work on seinfeld, modern family and boogie nights

has died. he was 90 years old. for more news, download the news app, on your cell phone or connected tv, i'm matt piper, cbs, new york. >> announcer: this is the "the cbs overnight news." tonight, many americans are worrying about their retirement funds, as stocks dropped to new lows for the year. investors began the week hitting the sell button thanks to rising inflation and a fragile economy. the dow was down more than 2% on the day. nasdaq dropped more than 4%, and the s&p sank more than 3%. the s&p finished the day in a bear market. the last time that happened was at the start of the pandemic. and, for those invested in bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies? well, the crypto market crashed today, wiping out billions of dollars. it all comes ahead of a closely-watched federal reserve

meeting this week, where the central bank is all but sure to raise interest rates. and it's possible the benchmark rate could be raised even higher than forecasted, going up by 75 basis points. that could be the biggest hike in more than two decades. cbs's elaine quijano is on wall street tonight for us. good evening, elaine. >> reporter: good evening to you, norah. the markets nose-dived today from the start of trading, sending investors scrambling. it's a sharp reversal for the stock market, which had seen record highs during the pandemic and now has some economists fearing a looming recession. ( inging bell) the closing bell saved the markets from tumbling further. the s&p 500 led the decline today, falling to its lowest point this year, with investors coming to terms with consumer prices rising at their fastest pace in 40 years. cbs news business analyst jill schlesinger. >> so when the investment community kind of took stock of things over the weekend, i think there was this fear that, in fact, higher prices and rising interest rates are going to keep eating into corporate profits, and the consumers are not going

to be able to maintain their current level of spending. >> reporter: the drop is the latest in a string of downturns for the markets. tech companies took the brunt. amazon lost $60 billion in market value, apple more than $85 billion, pulling the nasdaq deeper into bear market territory. the volatility is a hit to people's 401(k)s, while inflation is also pummeling consumers. average gas prices are topping $5 a gallon nationwide, according to a.a.a. >> it's outrageous. it usually costs me $30 to fill it up, and now it's at $55. >> reporter: and at the grocery store, food prices are up 10%. adding to the uncertainty is just how aggressive the federal reserve will be in trying to cool the white-hot cost of living. more economists are expecting a

bigger move-- three-quarters of a point-- the biggest interest rate hike since 1994. >> the fed, of course, has raised rates, but they've done so in anticipation of the economy heating up,ñot oncethe economy has already heated up. and this is a big difference. >> reporter: despite the volatility, financial advisors say reacting to market downturns is not a long-term strategy, but that now is good time to make sure that your investments are diverse. and, if you are close to retirement, they say you might consider working a bit longer to build up your savings, like your 401(k). norah. >> o'donnell: elaine quijano, thank you. we turn now to capitol hill and the riveting testimony by former president trump's closest advisors, lawyers and family, who all told him his claims of election fraud were complete nonsense, even nuts. there were also questions raised about the hundreds of millions of dollars team trump solicited online.

here's cbs' scott macfarlane. >> reporter: today on capitol hill, it was trump's own aides, in recorded depositions, landing punches for the committee. former attorney general william barr said he warned then-president trump that his claims of fraud in the 2020 election were false. >> all the early claims, that i understood, were-- were completely bogus and silly, and usually based on complete misinformation. >> reporter: barr, who was silent about his concerns over trump's false fraud allegations in the weeks after the election, described the president's claims as "crazy." >> i thought, boy, if he really believes this stuff, he has, you know, lost contact with-- with-- he's become detached from reality, if he really believes this stuff. >> reporter: the man expected to be the star witness today, former trump campaign manager bill stepien, was a last-minute scratch when his wife went into labor.

the committee instead showed recordings of stepien's deposition in which he acknowledged urging then-president trump not to declare victory on election night. >> it was far too early to be making any calls like that. ballots-- ballots were still being counted. >> reporter: the president did anyway. >> frankly, we did win this election. (çheers and applause) >> reporter: egged on by an apparently-inebriated rudy giuliani, who told trump the election had been stolen from him. >> was there anyone in that conversation who, in your observation, had had too much to drink? >> the mayor was definitely intoxicated. >> reporter: jared kushner, the former president's son-in-law, says he warned trump about giuliani's advice. >> and how did he react? >> he said, you know, "i-- i have confidence in rudy." >> reporter: former vice

president mike pence, who refused trump's demand that he object to the certifying of the election january 6th, defended his actions today. >> i'll always believe i did my duty that day. >> reporter: the committee also said election lies helped trump raise aquarter of a billion ÷ollars,the donations solicited for a election defense fund the committee says didn't really exist. >> the big lie was also a big rip-off. >> reporter: millions in donations would be funneled, not to a legal defense fund, but to the president's save america pac, which would spend more than $200,000 on trump's hotel properties; $1 million to a foundation led by trump chief of staff mark meadows; and $5 million to a company that helped organization the january 6th white house ellipse rally that preceded the riot. campaign records show just a fraction of the tens of millions of dollars collected by trump-affiliated organizations after the election was used for recounts and legal challenges. campaign finance experts tell cbs news, even if donors were schemed, it is difficult to prove illegalities. norah. >> o'donnell: they always say follow the money. scott macfarlane, thanks so much. also on capitol hill, a group of bipartisan senators are working

out the details of the most sweeping gun control legislation in 30 years. the president praised the deal as a step in the right direction but some critics say it does not go far enough. cbs's nikole killion joins us now from capitol hill. so nikole, what is in this bill? >> reporter: lawmakers say this agreement is a significant first step. the proposed framework would provide financial incentives to states to implement red flag laws. it also includes an enhanced background review for gun buyers under 21, and makes new investments in mental health and school safety. it does not contain some of the reforms pushed by president biden and democrats, like bans on assault weapons or high capacity magazines. at least ten senate republicans signed on, upping the chances for passage-- notably, none are up for reelection this year. the legislation still has to be written, and gun safety advocates hope it doesn't get watered down. the n.r.a. wouldn't comment on the framework, but says it will continue to oppose gun control policies. norah. >>on'll watching. nikoleilonthk there's a lot more news ahead on

the cbs overnight news. and tonight's winning numbers are 18, 18 55, 39, 71, and 43 we won! yes! noooo... noooo... noooo... quick, the quicker picker upper! bounty picks up messes quicker and each sheet is 2x more absorbent, so you can use less.

i'll hold onto that. bounty, the quicker picker upper.

this is the "the cbs overnight news". i'm nikole killion, thank you for staying with us. many are bracing for -- a leaked draft sparked outrage in parts of the country and cheers in others. 13 states have been preparing for it, passing so-called trigger walls making most abortions illegal if and when the roe v. wade ruling is overturned. it will be felt hardest in rural

parts of the country where abortion is already restricted, one of those states is wyoming. >> reporter: much of wyoming looks like, this wind swept and wide open. abortion in this conservative rugged state is currently legal up to viability, 24 weeks but services are lacking. just as the supreme court is considering roe's wait. they have an effort to open a women's health clin nick casper this month, making it the only abortion provider for hundreds of miles. in late may, it became a crime scene. >> it gets messy over here. >> a fire ripped through the building, and setting back the opening date as much as six months. long after the supreme court's decision. >> do i want to be here talking about someone who committed an act of domestic terrorism in our building?

absolutely not. i wanted to be moving furniture in. >> reporter: the fire is being investigated as arson, video shows a suspect carrying a gas can in the waiting area in the middle of the night. the clinic will offer a range of women's health services, including abortions if they are still legal in wyoming when it opens. >> casper is a strong-lif community. don't expect open arms. >> opposition to the clinic is vocal. >> blessed art thou among women! >> they gather outside to protest. >> we prayed that somehow the lord would prevent it from opening, if it happens to be vandalism and a fire, i'm good with it. >> i don't want it to be in my city. it's a horrible evil. >> wyoming's republican legislature enacted all abortions if the supreme court

over overturns roe-v-wade, it will not shut down the clinic, but it will mean people like this woman will have to seek them out of state. >> the pregnant that i had was a death sentence. >> reporter: she said her pregnant worsened already complicated health issues and she feared it could even kill her. >> i was withering away, i was a wreck of a human being. if it was an option to carry to term, i would have. >> reporter: in february, she drove seven hours to a planned parenthood in montana, nearly 500 miles away. >> any woman or uterus holder who has to have an abortion, it's never an easy choice. >> reporter: the new clinic is two hours from hannah's home, there's six states with just one abortion provider, oklahoma has

none. overseas, president zelensky is pleading for more western weapons as russian forces tighten grip on a city in the eastern donbas region. the warring sides are engaged in street battles but the russians continue to gain ground and there's little chance for civilians to flee the fighting. residents are fearful of a russian return. >> it's cherry season. but there's hardly anyone left to pick them. >> valentina is moved to tears as we approach. how often is the shelling going on? every day, she sighs. your windows have been bombed out. must have been terrifying. >> look what they did to my neighbor's house. >> her only company left is her baby goat.

originally from russia, she is exactly the kind of person vladimir putin said he wants to liberate. russia is attacking ukraine's food with cruelty, burning crops and cutting off water. and it's also the world's food said anthony blinken. >> there's 20 thousand tons of wheat trapped in silos and ships that are filled with grain that are stuck because of the russian >> bck mail ainstest ords, s il to stop supporting ukraine or risk what the ukraine is calling a hurricane of global hunger. >> ukraine's forces are now locked in close quarter battles in the city of donbas, lose it and they lose the region. further south, ukraine is clawing back territory. these towns had been under

russian occupation since the start of the war. today, their once again free. for those alive to see it. these are lives that could have been saved said president zelensky, begging the west to deliver the weapons promised. did we get them? no. >> now, those weapons are crucial for two major reasons, the first is to protect cities here in the east, like this which could fall any day and the second to protect ukraine's coast where the food is blocked. if the weapons don't get here in time, millions tons risk rotting in the ports. >> with that was ukraine. here in the u.s., we are marking national flag day on this day in 1777, congress approved the design for the first american flag. jane pauley has this story of the stars and stripes.
