two straight days of storms dropped nearly a foot in parts of rhode island, while downpours as far south as philadelphia have flooded roads and left drivers stranded. we have a lot of news to get to tonight, and cbs' carter evans will start us off from hemet, california. good evening, carter. so are the firefighters making any progress? >> good evening. yes, they're making progress. right now they're trying to steer this fire around the community. there used to be a home here. i met the family that lived inside. they said they barely had enough time to escape the flames. others weren't so lucky because this fire just moved so fast. it's what firefighters fear the most, record-setting heat, parched land, and wildfires exploding in size. this fire raced down a canyon in riverside county, just southeast of l.a. it moved too fast to evacuate everyone safely. the community has only one road in or out. >> and unfortunately, taken the lives of two civilians. it appears right now that those

individuals were attempting to flee the area and were overcome by the fire. >> reporter: fire officials say the wind direction completely shifted. >> it was just a disaster, because this canyon hasn't burned for many years. and once it got into where the homes are at, the fire was already moving like a freight train. >> reporter: and another fire near the oregon border left this entire neighborhood in ruins. throughout the state, california continues to endure its worst and longest heatwave in years. on monday, an all-time high of 117 degrees in the san francisco bay area, record-breakers that are straining the power grid to the breaking point. >> we need two to three times as much conservation as we've been experiencing to keep the power on. >> reporter: and the heat is more than just an inconvenience. last year, more americans died from extreme heat than from any other weather hazard. far more than floods, tornadoes, hurricanes, or extreme cold. and there is little relief in sight.

california just now is entering what is normally the worst part of its fire season. this extreme fire behavior seems to be happening a lot more frequently. >> correct. when we say evacuate, we mean evacuate. they don't have time to escape anymore. fires could be right on top of you within seconds. >> reporter: there is still no cause on this fire yet, but tonight southern california edison says some of its electrical equipment could have played a role. and right now fire inspectors are behind me. they've roped off an area near those utility poles for further inspection. tonight california's governor is telling people not to let their guard down. he says we're now headed into the worst part of this heatwave. norah? >> carter evans, thank you very much. well, the national weather service says the brutal heatwave in the west will continue through the rest of the week, while in the northeast, rains will stick around for at least one more day. for more, let's turn to meteorologist chris warren from our partners at the weather channel. good evening, chris. >> good evening, norah.

more rain for the northeast, but not nearly as much rain as what fell over the weekend. many areas in connecticut and i. some areas close to a foot of rain, creating scenes like this in providence. for a while, parts of interstate 95 south of providence was shut down because of the flooding. fortunately, we're toward the end now. the rain eventually will be working out. you see through the next several hours, showers and maybe a storm or two will be wrapping up. a few pockets here and there of heavy rain. the worst of the worst does appear to be over. meanwhile, still dangerous heat in the west. and once again, norah, some record heat is possible with no significant relief for some, possibly until the weekend. >> chris, thank you. in memphis, the multi-day search for a kidnapped teacher has come to a tragic end. police say they have identified the body of 34-year-old eliza fletcher, the kindergarten

aggravated kidnapping and tampering with evidence. he had already served nearly 20 years in prison in another kidnapping case. >> we have no reason to think this was anything other than an isolated attack by a stranger. >> reporter: a growing show of love for the family is now at the site of fletcher's abduction. her family released this statement, saying "we are heartbroken and devastated by this senseless loss." did the system fail in this situ situation. tomorrow he'll be arraigned on additional charge, including first-degree murder. if convicted, he could face the death penalty. norah? >> it's such an awful story. elise preston, thank you very much. tonight in a major foreign policy decision, the white house says president biden will not designate russia as a state sponsor of terrorism. ukraine was pushing for that, but the president says it could jeopardize deals to ship grain and other goods through the

along with the brutal heat. temperatures have topped the century mark for the seventh straight day with the state capital of sacramento expected to reach 115 degrees this afternoon. in the northeast, it's rain and floodwaters causing the biggest problems. two straight days of storms dropped nearly a foot in parts of rhode island, while downpours as far south as philadelphia have flooded roads and left drivers stranded. we have a lot of news to get to tonight, and cbs' carter evans will start us off from hemet, california. good evening, carter. so are the firefighters making any progress? >> good evening. yes, they're making progress. right now they're trying to steer this fire around the community. there used to be a home here. i met the family that lived inside. they said they barely had enough time to escape the flames. others weren't so lucky because this fire just moved so fast. it's what firefighters fear the most, record-setting heat, parched land, and wildfires exploding in size.

this fire raced down a canyon in riverside county, just southeast of l.a. it moved too fast to evacuate everyone safely. the community has only one road in or out. >> and unfortunately, taken the lives of two civilians. it appears right now that those individuals were attempting to flee the area and were overcome by the fire. >> reporter: fire officials say the wind direction completely shifted. >> it was just a disaster, because this canyon hasn't burned for many years. and once it got into where the homes are at, the fire was already moving like a freight train. >> reporter: and another fire near the oregon border left this entire neighborhood in ruins. throughout the state, california continues to endure its worst and longest heatwave in years. on monday, an all-time high of 117 degrees in the san francisco bay area, record-breakers that are straining the power grid to the breaking point. >> we need two to three times as much conservation as we've been experiencing to keep the power on.

>> reporter: and the heat is more than just an inconvenience. last year, more americans died from extreme heat than from any other weather hazard. far more than floods, tornadoes, hurricanes, or extreme cold. and there is little relief in sight. california just now is entering what is normally the worst part of its fire season. this extreme fire behavior seems to be happening a lot more frequently. >> correct. when we say evacuate, we mean evacuate. they don't have time to escape anymore. fires could be right on top of you within seconds. >> reporter: there is still no cause on this fire yet, but tonight southern california edison says some of its electrical equipment could have played a role. and right now fire inspectors are behind me. they've roped off an area near those utility poles for further inspection. tonight california's governor is telling people not to let their guard down. he says we're now headed into the worst part of this heatwave. norah? >> carter evans, thank you very much. well, the national weather service says the brutal heatwave

in the west will continue through the rest of the week, while in the northeast, rains will stick around for at least one more day. for more, let's turn to meteorologist chris warren from our partners at the weather channel. good evening, chris. >> good evening, norah. more rain for the northeast, but not nearly as much rain as what fell over the weekend. many areas in connecticut and rhode island, 3 to 5 inches. some areas close to a foot of rain, creating scenes like this in providence. for a while, parts of interstate 95 south of providence was shut down because of the flooding. fortunately, we're toward the end now. the rain eventually will be working out. you see through the next several hours, showers and maybe a storm or two will be wrapping up. a few pockets here and there of heavy rain. the worst of the worst does appear to be over. meanwhile, still dangerous heat in the west. and once again, norah, some record heat is possible with no significant relief for some,

possibly until the weekend. >> chris, thank you. in memphis, the multi-day search for a kidnapped teacher has come to a tragic end. police say they have identified the body of 34-year-old eliza fletcher, the kindergarten teacher who was abducted while jogging early friday morning. the suspect in her abduction is now facing additional charge, including first-degree murder. here's cbs' elise preston. >> today is a very sad day in the city of memphis. >> reporter: a new gruesome court affidavit reveals tire tracks in a grassy area led investigators to the body of 34-year-old eliza fletcher late yesterday afternoon. a trash bag containing purple shorts like the ones she was wearing was also found. >> while the outcome of this investigation is not what we hoped for, we are nonetheless pleased to remove this dangerous predator off the streets of memphis. >> reporter: police say early friday morning, 38-year-old

cleotha abston forced the kindergarten teacher and mother of two into an suv as she was out on a run. abston was arrested the following day. this morning, he was arraigned on charges of especially aggravated kidnapping and tampering with evidence. he had already served nearly 20 years in prison in another kidnapping case. >> we have no reason to think this was anything other than an isolated attack by a stranger. >> reporter: a growing show of love for the family is now at the site of fletcher's abduction. her family released this statement, saying "we are heartbroken and devastated by this senseless loss." did the system fail in this situation? >> it looks that way. >> reporter: it's still not clear exactly how the mother of two was killed. abston has yet to enter a plea on today's charges. tomorrow he'll be arraigned on additional charges, including first-degree murder. if convicted, he could face the death penalty. norah? >> such an awful story. elise preston, thank you very

much. the "cbs overnight news" will be right back.

♪ >> announcer: this is the "cbs overnight news." >> well, tonight, a legal showdown is brewing after a federal judge's extraordinary ruling in favor of former president donald trump over his demand for a special master to review documents seized from his florida home. even trump's former attorney general is calling the decision deeply flawed. here is cbs' robert costa. >> reporter: tonight, the justice department is weighing whether to challenge florida federal judge aileen cannon's decision to authorize the appointment of a special master, a ruling that has generated an outcry from some legal experts and criticism from trump's former attorney general. >> i think it was wrong, and i think the government should appeal it.

>> reporter: cannon wrote that trump faces unquantifiable potential harm if more sensitive information is made public. and for now federal investigators have been blocked from further reviewing evidence until a special master's work is done. some former federal prosecutors say it could slow the investigation for weeks or even months. >> it's just an extraordinary eyesore of an opinion. and it manifests in a number of places a palpable bias in favor of former president trump that would never be accorded any other individual who's the subject of the execution of a criminal search warrant. >> reporter: judge cannon, who was appointed by trump, was confirmed by the senate days after the 2020 election. any appeal by the justice department would likely be heard by the 11th circuit court of appeals, where court watchers note six of the 11 active judges are also trump appointees. >> they may be in a more hostile court of appeals landscape where the risk of an adverse, more significant adverse opinion is greater.

>> reporter: if a special master is appointed, the choice would likely need a high level security clearance given the sensitivity of the documents. >> they can't just ship them by fed ex or deliver them to the special master's office. these will only be able to be reviewed in a secure, compartmentalized secured facility. >> reporter: tonight, according to a person close to the trump legal team, trump's lawyers now favor a retired judge to be the special master, and they are coming up with a short list of names. they will then begin to quietly reach out to some of them to see their availability ahead of friday's headline. norah? >> robert costa with that new reporting, thank you so much. well, it was an emotional day as families in uvalde, texas sent their kids back to school for the first time since a mass shooting killed 19 children and two teachers. the site of the massacre, robb elementary, has been permanently closed. and despite the ramped up security, some parents and kids say they still don't feel safe. cbs' lilia luciano is in uvalde.

>> reporter: the first day of school in uvalde after a summer of rage and grief. the heightened security as children return to the classroom put some parents at ease. >> i understand about the safety and stuff, but me as a parent, like i said, from what i saw today, i feel pretty secure. >> reporter: the state and the district have put in new fencing, security cameras, and have added additional police officers and therapists. many families, though, remain anxious, unwilling to send their kids back to school after one of the deadliest shootings in the nation's history. >> my girls are home-bound, yeah. they'll be home-bound for the rest of the year. >> reporter: monica gallegos and donny's ray valdez's daughters are among the more than 130 doing remote learning this semester. you're scared? >> yes. >> reporter: angeli rodriguez lost her twin sister in the shooting. their parents say annabell was angeli's support system. >> it's hard that she is going to have to enter the following grades without her sister.

>> reporter: this year, flores middle school is where the twins were supposed to start the fifth grade today, and where many of their classmates, including those who survived the shooting are coming. but when they were dropped off back there, this fence had not been built yet. >> i got about a block away and couldn't do it. i went back and got them. >> reporter: being back to school was too much for two of uziyah garcia's siblings, who returned to class for the first time since the death of their brother. >> they called you? >> yeah. it's not just something you can shake, you know. because now you equate school with your brother being murdered. you know? so it's hard. >> reporter: instead of beginning to heal, these parents have spent their summer becoming activists at their top of list of priorities is accountability, especially for the officers who responded to the shooting on may 24th. they say they also want to see more gun control, at least to

see the minimum wage required for someone to buy the kind of weapon used in the massacre go from 18 to 21. norah? >> lilia luciano, thank you for all your reporting from uvalde. well, tonight, in a major foreign policy decision, the white house says president biden will not designate russia as a state sponsor of terrorism. ukraine was pushing for that, but the president says it could jeopardize deals to ship grain and other goods through the black sea. this comes as international inspectors sound the alarm over that embattled nuclear plant. cbs' debora patta is in kyiv with what we're learning from the report. >> reporter: one overriding message, the iaea remains gravely concerned about zaporizhzhia. while the ongoing shelling has not yet triggered a nuclear emergency, it's a constant threat. the presence of inspectors a the plant appears to have done little to lessen the risks. evacuated to safet satury teing firsthand.

zaporizhzhia is occupied by russia, but still run by ukrainian technicians working under high stress. and listen to this, the report states up to 40% of jobs dealing with safety are currently unstaffed, raising the possibility of human error. the team has confirmed that there are russian soldiers and military vehicles inside the facility, and the key recommendation that a safety and security protection zone be set up immediately to prevent a radiation disaster. norah? >> debora patta, thank you. the e-cigarette maker juul has reached a mega settlement tonight with more than 30 states that story in 60 seconds.
