protection problem. >> reporter: taking the bench as the nation's first black female justice, jackson immediately jumped into the fray, and today repeatedly fired questions at an alabama lawyer calling for race-neutral congressional maps in a major voting rights case. >> what do they illuminate? >> they show that this is what you would expect a race-neutral map-drawer to produce, and-- >> why does that matter? >> reporter: after a contentious term last year, what hasn't changed? this court, with six conservatives and three liberals, again is poised to re-think decades of progressive rulings. like today's case, where black leaders saab the power of the black vote. 27% of the state's residents are black, but only one out of alabama's seven congressional districts is majority black. that district includes selma, the epicenter a generation ago for the struggle for voting rights. >> having congressional representation that's responsive to the needs of those communities is very important. >> reporter: alabama is pushing

back on arguments it should try to create two black districts, saying race shouldn't be a consideration in drawing legislative districts. >> what the legislature attempted to do is to draw impartial districts that were unbiased, not according to race. >> reporter: and that's not the only contentious case on race the justices will hear this term. later this month, they will take up a challenge to affirmative action in college admissions. and on the horizon, cases on election laws and gay rights. norah. >> jan crawford, thank you so much. >> well, this just in. there are reports tonight that the u.s. and south korea launched four surface-to-surface missiles into the sea, in response to north korea's missile test yesterday. now, the reason they did this was following kim jong un's own test, the longest-ever weapons test, and the most provocative show of force in years. in fact, north korea's ballistic

the japanese people, destabilizing to the region, and a clear violation of the united nations security council resolutions. >> reporter: within hours came the response: south korean and u.s. warplanes were in the air just off the korean peninsula for some precision bombing meant as a deterrent to pyongyang. instead, we may be on the verge of a major escalation. satellite photos show north korea appears to be preparing for a nuclear test. norah. >> all right, elizabeth palmer, thank you very much. >> well, the navy seals training program is under increased scrutiny after the death of a former college football star earlier this year. and now, cbs news has learned of a new investigation, after we showed the navy the video that you are about to see. cbs's david martin has the details. ♪ happy birthday to you ♪

>> reporter: seal recruits blanketed with a cloud of tear gas while being ordered to sing "happy birthday," so they can't hold their breath. when the admiral in charge of navy seals saw this video, he ordered an investigation, telling cbs news, it raises questions about the lawfulness of the behavior. exposure to tear gas is a standard part of seal training, but the investigation is examining whether the gas was administered at too close a range, and for too long. the video was shot last year on san clemente island off california, and obtained by investigative reporter matthew cole. author of "code over country," a recent book about seal team 6. >> i got this video from seals, students who were trying to become seals, who felt the instructors in the seals were abusive and very careless with their health.

>> reporter: tear gas is a rite of passage for almost all military recruits-- usually when they are taught how to properly don a face mask, and what happens if they don't. the regulations for tear gas use in seal training require the instructors to stay at least six feet away from the recruits to avoid the danger of burns, and to use the gas for no more than 15 seconds. in this video, the gas lasts for more than a minute. these recruits, crying out in pain, have already proven themselves tough enough to complete two-thirds of the seal selection course. the regulations , is what pp youo hold yo jor of duke uni studies tear gas and its effects. >> i think this type of training is really senseless. it looks more really like a form

of hazing. >> reporter: the investigation will determine whether the instructor somehow did not understand the proper procedures or whether they intended to inflict abuse or punishment on the recruits, in which case it could be a criminal offense. norah. >> incredible to see that video. david martin, thank you. >> well, newly-released video out tonight shows the man police are looking for, as they search for a suspected serial killer in northern california. and, it looks like a box of legos, but wait till you hear what drugs were inside. those stories, when we return. nope nope c'mon him? oo, i like him!

everything has been a lie. >> reporter: christian walker, the son of georgia republican herschel walker, blasted his father, after "the daily beast" reported the senate candidate, who opposes abortion rights, allegedly paid for a girlfriend's abortion in 2009. the unidentified woman srt her claim with a $57ce from an abortion clinic and a signed $700 personal check from walker to cover expenses. she told "the daily beast," she came forward because of walker's stance on abortion, saying, "i just can't with the hypocrisy anymore, we all deserve better." walker, who prayed with supporters this morning at an atlanta event, has denied the allegation. >> i never asked anyone to get an abortion, i never paid for an abortion, and it's a lie. i send money to a lot of people. >> reporter: walker's son, a conservative tiktok influencer, posted several times since the story broke, denouncing his father's campaign.

elite green berets who take on missions across the globe. but at home in florida, 60% of the colonel's soldiers live in crest view where real estate and rents are cheaper. they train 20 miles to the south. the seventh groups designated child development center is another 20 miles away, within the sprawling eglin air force base. >> it's not an option to drive over an hour a day for childcare and repeat that process going home. >> reporter: chelsea, who asked us not to use her last time in for security reasons showed us around crest view. both in special forces at the time, she and her husband had up to three hours of commuting each day for childcare. >> waste of time, minutes that you could be spending living life. >> reporter: with heavy traffic on 85 and bottlenecks at the

base gates, chelsea was always running late. >> you feel like, am i failing my guy, causing them hardship while trying to take care of my family as well. they're both your family, but different family. >> reporter: molly tobin face the other childcare problems. >> when we moved here in may of last year, she was often 17 wait lists when we moved into our house here. >> reporter: 17 wait lists? >> 17 wait lists. i received an e-mail saying we have an alternative care option for you, and it's an hour and 15 minutes from my house. >> reporter: how many chelseas are out there? >> there's countless chelseas out there. >> reporter: more than 11,000 children are waiting for military-provided childcare. the seven special forces group told cbs news it has see that cn n't he access to ultqua childcare and educational

chronicler in chief. in 2016 alone, she had 599 bilines or co-bilines in the "new york times"s. more than one a day and that pace has slowed only slightly in the years since. and what's it like to have donald trump in your head or be a part of his thinking for 11 years? >> i had one of his old friends say to me, he doesn't wear well over time, and i think that the collective we have experienced that at various points. >> haberman has been covering trump since the late '90s, as a metro reporter for the new york tabloids. now she's written a book about him, "confidence man." i want to raid from something you wrote. people need to know where he comes from. what do you mean where he comes from? >> new york in the 1960s, '70, '80s was a very, very unique

setting because of the sometimes corrupt forces that suched on media, city hall and the political party system in the various borough, how real estate projects got done and which touched on racial tribalism, john, and that is a big piece of what he took from his life in new york. >> reporter: the current incarnation of that racial tribalism shows up in some of her scoops about trump's presidential years. like other books, "confidence man" has gotten attention for new revelations. trump considered firing his son-in-law. but haberman's larger goal is to put the scoops in the book and her times coverage in an arc logical framework. >> donald trump is generally the same, depending on the context, and he tended to treat the white house as if he was still in a

real estate office dealing with local county leaders as if it was still 1980. >> reporter: what are the elements in donald trump's playbook? >> he has a handful of moves that he has used forever and people tend to impute a ton of strategy to what he's doing, and it's really these moves, the quick lie, the back biting with one aide versus another. it is the assigning blame to someone else. >> when you say me, i didn't do it. we have a group of people. >> all of this, again, is about creating a sense of drama, a sense of chaos, and often, john, about keeping the responsibility off him. >> reporter: but you stand by that claim about him? >> i don't stand by anything. >> reporter: haber opinion's reporting has irritated and embarrassed trump, yet he agreed to sit down with her three times this past summer. were you surprised he sat down with you for your book? >> no, he talks to everybody about their books, it's a

reflexive need. >> reporter: he said you were like his psychiatrist. >> he treats everyone like his psychiatrist. he works everything out with everyone online all the time. >> reporter: quoting sources who heard trump say "we're never leaving". >> you know we won georgia. >> reporter: donald trump's reluctance to leave office, was that part of that playbook? >> it was both, john. it was part of the theme of him believing that everything was going to work out with him because it always had, whether it was his father helping him navigate systems for him or elected officials lining up for him, he always believed thins would work out, and after november 3rd, 2020, it became clearer with each passing day that that was not going to happen, and he did not know how to handle it. >> reporter: when he did leave the white house he wasn't empty

handed. his fbi agents found in the search of his home. there was a long history of him doing that. do you think that's why he took those classified documents? >> i do, actually, i think it's also possible he took them for another reason, and we don't know what this is. he sees everything in terms of leverage. >> reporter: trump is facing legal peril in multiple jurisdictions. a fraud suit in new york. election interference charges in georgia. >> president donald trump was too dangerous to be left alone. >> reporter: the january 6 riot investigation and then those documents from mar-a-lago, where he's mostly holed up these days. you write that when you saw him after he left the white house that he seemed shrunken. >> in one of the interviews, he had very visibly lost weight. but he just seemed diminished. and one of the things that i discovered as i was talking to people through the course of the last year is that he became this

almost charles foster cane type figure who was roaming around his club and existing in his own world and having to be reminded of when holidays were. someone totally out of the rhythms of normal daily life. >> reporter: what's your view of whether he'll run again? >> with the caveat that i don't know, ancould be proven wrong, i think he's backed himself into a corner where he needs to run where he thinks running for president would help him. and it is the way that he fund raises and makes money. so much of his identity now is about being a politician. so i expect that he will run. that doesn't mean that even if he declares a candidacy that he will stay in the whole time. >> reporter: whether he runs or not, trump has left his mark on the gop, whose national party committee labeled the january 6 riots legitimate discourse, and where a third of the republican candidates running for election in 2022 have adopted his lie,

that the 2020 election was stolen. has he essentially transferred the skills of the new york real estate world, as strange as that is, into a political party? >> he has transferred how he views the new york real estate industry into the republican party. and not just the new york real estate industry, but the new york political system. we've seen it in ways that are overt with the republican party in terms of comments that get made at rallies. >> the biden, the brandon administration. >> and we have seen it in subtler ways in terms of how candidates engage with journalists or basic fact sets. not everyone has acted in some sort of emplace to donald trump but most of them have. >> reporter: haberman writes that trump tells her how much easier his life would have been had he not run for president and looked back not on what he accomplished but on what the presidency meant for donald trump. when donald trump asked himself in your presence if i had to do

it all over again, what did he say? >> the answer he said was yes is because the way he looks at that time is he has so many rich

there's a day camp where children with cancer can put their battles aside and just be kids. naomi ruck um paid a visit. >> reporter: these campers are ready for fun. for 16 years, sun rise day camp has been offering children with cancer and their siblings a safe place to enjoy sports, activities, and most of all, families just like themselves. >> you get to be yourself because other kids have cancer, and you get to have a lot of fun with your friends. >> reporter: 10-year-old ella and her brother andrew started coming here ten years ago when she was being treated for a.l.l. >> when ella got cancer, i couldn't do anything with my

cases of rape, incest, or to save the life of the mother. cbs's robert costa has more from atlanta. >> he gets on twitter, he lies about it. okay, i'm done. done! everything has been a lie. >> reporter: christian walker, the son of georgia republican herschel walker, blasted his father, after "the daily beast" reported the senate candidate, who opposes abortion rights, allegedly paid for a girlfriend's abortion in 2009. the unidentified woman supported her claim with a $575 receipt from an abortion clinic and a signed $700 personal check from walker to cover expenses. she told "the daily beast," she came forward because of walker's stance on abortion, saying, "i just can't with the hypocrisy anymore, we all deserve better." walker, who prayed with supporters this morning at an atlanta event, has denied the allegation.

this is the "cbs overnight news". >> well, tonight, health officials are warning, this flu season could be one of the most severe in recent years, and they're urging everyone over six months of age to get their than later. here's cbs news chief medical correspondent, dr. jon lapook. >> reporter: for years, jeri stuart did not get a flu shot. >> my mother always hounded me to get them done. >> reporter: now the 54-year-old breast cancer survivor doesn't want to gamble with her health. she got her flu shot last week. >> you know what? let's just get everything we can to ensure that i don't get sick. >> reporter: today, the c.d.c.

going to help lessen symptoms, then, every little bit helps. >> reporter: flu season typically starts in october, peaks december through february, and can last into the spring. like covid vaccines, the flu shot may not stop you from getting infected, but the cdc says it can significantly lower the risk of hospitalization and death. norah. >> it's an important reminder to all of us to get our shots. dr. lapook, thank you so much >> well, now to the supreme court, and a major voting rights case that could further weaken the landmark 1965 voting rights act. the newest justice, ketanji brown jackson, asked tough questions during the two hours of arguments over alabama's controversial redistricting map. cbs's jan crawford has all the details from inside the supreme court. >> reporter: stepping into her historic role, justice ketanji brown jackson has wasted no time making her voice heard. >> i don't think we can assume that, just because race is taken into account, that that necessarily creates an equal

protection problem. >> reporter: taking the bench as the nation's first black female justice, jackson immediately jumped into the fray, and today repeatedly fired questions at an alabama lawyer calling for race-neutral congressional maps in a major voting rights case. >> what do they illuminate? >> they show that this is what you would expect a race-neutral map-drawer to produce, and-- >> why does that matter? >> reporter: after a contentious term last year, what hasn't changed? this court, with six conservatives and three liberals, again is poised to re-think decades of progressive rulings. like today's case, where black leaders say alabama is diluting the power of the black vote. 27% of the state's residents are black, but only one out of alabama's seven congressional districts is majority black. that district includes selma, the epicenter a generation ago for the struggle for voting rights. >> having congressional representation that's responsive to the needs of those communities is very important. >> reporter: alabama is pushing

back on arguments it should try to create two black districts, saying race shouldn't be a consideration in drawing legislative districts. >> what the legislature attempted to do is to draw impartial districts that were unbiased, not according to race. >> reporter: and that's not the only contentious case on race the justices will hear this term. later this month, they will take up a challenge to affirmative action in college admissions. and on the horizon, cases on election laws and gay rights. norah. >> jan crawford, thank you so much. >> well, this just in. there are reports tonight that the u.s. and south korea launched four surface-to-surface missiles into the sea, in response to north korea's missile test yesterday. now, the reason they did this was following kim jong un's own test, the longest-ever weapons test, and the most provocative show of force in years. in fact, north korea's ballistic missile flew over japan. cbs' elizabeth palmer reports

tonight from tokyo. >> reporter: in japanese coastal communities, sirens warned that a north korean missile would be flying overhead. public alerts told people to prepare to evacuate. japanese military tracking systems had picked up the launch near the chinese border, and followed the missile for 22 minutes as it flew a record distance of roughly 2,800 miles and crashed into the sea. it's the latest in a bumper yea north korea. analysts believe today's was the huge hwasong 12, on view in a military parade in april. its use now marks real escalation-- it's the first missile to be aimed over japanese territory since 2017. in tokyo and in washington, the launch was described as >> the launch was a danger to

the japanese people, destabilizing to the region, and a clear violation of the united nations security council resolutions. >> reporter: within hours came the response: south korean and u.s. warplanes were in the air just off the korean peninsula for some precision bombing meant as a deterrent to pyongyang. instead, we may be on the verge of a major escalation. satellite photos show north korea appears to be preparing for a nuclear test. norah. >> all right, elizabeth palmer, thank you very much. >> well, the navy seals training program is under increased scrutiny after the death of a former college football star earlier this year. and now, cbs news has learned of a new investigation, after we showed the navy the video that you are about to see. cbs's david martin has the details. ♪ happy birthday to you ♪

>> reporter: seal recruits blanketed with a cloud of tear gas while being ordered to sing "happy birthday," so they can't hold their breath. when the admiral in charge of navy seals saw this video, he ordered an investigation, telling cbs news, it raises questions about the lawfulness of the behavior. exposure to tear gas is a standard part of seal training, but the investigation is examining whether the gas was administered at too close a range, and for too long. the video was shot last year on san clemente island off california, and obtained by investigative reporter matthew cole. author of "code over country," a recent book about seal team 6. >> i got this video from seals, students who were trying to become seals, who felt the instructors in the seals were abusive and very careless with their health.

>> reporter: tear gas is a rite of passage for almost all military recruits-- usually when they are taught how to properly don a face mask, and what happens if they don't. the regulations for tear gas use in seal training require the instructors to stay at least six feet away from the recruits to avoid the danger of burns, and to use the gas for no more than. in this video, the gas lasts for more than a minute. these recruits, crying out in pain, have already proven themselves tough enough to complete two-thirds of the seal selection course. one appears to pass out, which the regulations warn, is what happens when you try to hold your breath. sven jordt of duke university studies tear gas and its effects. >> i think this type of training is really senseless. it looks more really like a form

of hazing. >> reporter: the investigation will determine whether the instructor somehow did not understand the proper procedures or whether they intended to inflict abuse or punishment on the recruits, in which case it could be a criminal offense. norah. >> incredible to see that video. david martin, thank you. >> well, newly-released video out tonight shows the man police are looking for, as they search for a suspected serial killer in northern california. and, it looks like a box of legos, but wait till you hear what drugs were inside. those stories, when we return.
