shooting of natasha le tour, also unhoused at the time, she was shot nearly ten times on a stockton street but survived. >> there was no words exchanged. he didn't say anything, didn't come any closer. just started shooting. i just saw flashes. >> reporter: and the suspect will likely face murder charges when he is arraigned tomorrow. at this point, it is still unclear what the exact motive behind these alleged attacks is, norah. >> jonathan vigliotti, thank you. in washington state, firefighters are making progress in the battle against a fast-growing wildfire that has exploded in size. the nakia creek fire has burned more than 1,500 acres and forced the evacuation of more than 550 homes. about 1,900 additional homes have been put on alert to be ready to evacuate if needed. the fire is just 5% contained. this was a big day for millions of americans with hearing loss. for the first time, hearing aids

at the time, did you have any concerns about submitting a rape kit? >> no. no. >> reporter: the police department admitted putting her dna and others into its crime lab database. >> i was in jail for 14 days. >> if you had known your dna was going to go into a general database, would you have been more hesitant about submitting it as part of a sexual assault? >> yes, absolutely. >> reporter: the charges were dropped after the district attorney learned where the evidence came from. >> when a woman or a person is in that point of vulnerability and the police say, hey, this is the key we need in order to help us to help you, that person in that moment isn't thinking to e rights for a lifetime. >> reporter: adan tay pointer is the woman's attorney. he's filed a federal civil rights suit against san francisco for unlawful search and seizure. is this case an indication that we're losing possession of our private dna? >> yes, it absolutely raises

some deep concerns. here's a point where someone was at their most vulnerable, gave up their dna, you know, for a criminal investigation, for justice, and then had it exploited by the sfpd. >> reporter: a crime victim's dna can't be stored in federal criminal databases but can be kept in state systems without laws pro-hinting it, like california at the time. >> there needs to be laws put in place to make sure this type of abuse simply doesn't happen again. >> reporter: san francisco's crime lab has since stopped the practice and says it can't comment on pending litigation. experts fear rape survivors will fear coming forward, pitting privacy against prosecution. janet shamlian, cbs news, san francisco. a mother and baby were inside their home in south florida today when a plane are you feeling sluggish or weighed down? metamucil's new fiber plus collagen can help. when taken daily, it supports your health, starting with your digestive system. metamucil's plant-based fiber forms a gel to trap and remove the waste that weighs you down,

york. >> announcer: this is the "cbs overnight news." we want to begin tonight overseas with the war in ukraine, where russia is inflicting a new type of terror on several major cities using iranian-made kamikaze drones. the unmanned aircraft are small but pack a heavy punch and explode on impact. today raining down from the sky during the morning rush hour and rocking residential buildings. ukrainian president zelenskyy says his military was able to shoot down 37 drones, but the wave of attacks killed at least four, including a woman who was six months pregnant. inside russia and near the border of ukraine, a fighter jet

crashed into a nine-story apartment building. russian news agencies report that the plane's engines caught fire during a ■trainingxercise, and the pilots were able to eject. and there's some good news to report. 108 ukrainian women are free tonight after being in russian captivity. cbs's holly williams will start us off tonight. good evening, holly. >> reporter: good evening, norah. after months of relative calm in kyiv, today the city was pummeled for the second time in as many weeks. and while some experts believe that russia is running short of munitions, russian forces have begun using a new weapon with devastating effects. early this morning, a swarm of so-called suicide drones bombarded ukraine's capital. kamikaze weapons packed with deadly explosives that detonate on impact. they've been used to attack frequently in recent weeks. today they rained down on city

streets. russia's repeatedly claimed that it doesn't target civilians, but this neighborhood in kyiv is home to apartment buildings, restaurants, and schools. kyiv's mayor, vitali klitschko, called russia a terrorist state. >> killed a lot of people, civilians, unguilty people. and that why it's terror attack. >> reporter: ukraine says it shot down some of the drones today. this video appears to show ukrainian police officers making a successful hit. but they're small and apparently difficult to track on radar. they're also cheap, some reportedly selling for around $20,000 each. the u.s. says iran has agreed to provide hundreds of drones to russia for use in ukraine, but iran denies it. on the weekend, russia blamed ukraine for strikes that injured civilians in the city of belgorod, which is just over the border. one of the drones in this

morning's attack appeared to have "for belgorod" inscribed on it, apparently an act of retaliation. ukraine's president, volodymyr zelenskyy, claims russia made an even bigger order from iran, putting the figure at nearly 2,500 suicide drones. now, we can't independently verify that, but if it's true, it could have a significant impact on the course of this war. norah. >> yeah, frightening indeed. holly williams, thank you. back here at home, a blast of bitterly cold air is moving across the country, and 235 million americans are facing temperatures up to 20 degrees below normal. let's bring in meteorologist mike bettes from our partners at the weather challenge. good evening, mike. >> norah, good evening. it's been a very abrupt change of season in the great lakes. know just pouring down in some spots, including in ironwood, michigan. cars buried in the snow. about eight inches of snow falling here. more indyk tifr of early december rather than mid-october. a lot of places picked up actually double-digit snows in

him. expenses covered by the taxpayer. committee member gerry connolly. >>ere's a man who boasts of how wealthy he is, and yet he is nickeling and diming the secret service providing protection to the first family for everything they're worth. and i just think -- i just think it ought to bother everybody. >> reporter: in one case, the than $1,100 for a room at the trump international hotel in d.c. for agents who were protecting trump's son, eric, well above the allowable $242 government rate. committee documents also cited agent visits to trump's bedminster golf club and mar-a-lago, and pointed to a public statement by eric trump in 2019 where he said the secret service stays at trump's properties for free. for several months after trump left office, the secret service made 669 payments to the trump organization totaling more than $1.4 million. >> this wasn't, you know, one thing that happened because of

extraordinary circumstances. it was routine that donald trump and his companies would gouge the american taxpayers. >> reporter: in a statement tonight, eric trump is standing by his claims services provided to the secret service were offered, quote, at cost, discounted, or free. but the house oversight committee disputes that, and it is now seeking a full list of other secret service expenses at trump properties. norah. >> quite a report. scott macfarlane, thank you. it was a big day for millions of americans with hearing loss. for the first time, hearing aids are available over the counter at major pharmacy chains and other retailers without the need to see a doctor first. we get more from cbs's roxana saberi. >> reporter: buying a hearing aid over the counter could turn the sound back up for some people with mild to moderate hearing loss. >> it's meant to be very user friendly. consumers can get the device, set it themselves, and go on from there. >> reporter: an estimated 30 million americans could benefit from a hearing aid, but only 1

>> announcer: this is the "cbs overnight news." i'm scott macfarlane in washington. thank you for staying with us. china's leader xi jinping is about to cement his role as the country's most powerful ruler since chairman mao. xi opened the communist party's national congress with a speech that locked the country into a path that he, himself, devised with continued covid lockdowns, military expansion into the south china sea, and the eventual reintegration of taiwan. xi has also managed to change the communist party rules to allow himself to stay in power possibly for life.

elizabeth palmer has the story. >> reporter: until now, term limits had kept chinese leaders to no more than ten years on the job. but xi jinping has managed to change those rules, and that tells you something about just how powerful he's become. here's a man ready to command the country and the future. [ applause ] and if any of the 2,300 delegates here don't like it, they wouldn't say. xi jinping, in public anyway, is never wrong. in party propaganda, like state tv's fawning series "the navigator," he leads the way into a socialist utopia. xi's cult of personality recalls an earlier one, chairman mao's. the revolutionary despot who ran china for almost 30 years. like mao, xi's even put out a book, and, yes, there's an app too.

xi jinping recommended reading for loyal citizens. in it, he analyzes chinese governments, but what he doesn't explain is why he thinks heavy-handed control and repression have to be part of it. like facial recognition technology for tracking people and a zero-covid policy that has locked down millions of chinese lives. jeff kingston lectures in asian politics at temple university in tokyo. what makes xi jinping tick? makes him tick. eally knows >> reporter: there are clues. his parents were communist elites. but in the 1960s, his father was denounced during mao's cultural revolution. and young xi was exiled to a poor village for re-education. >> i think he was very much influenced by his childhood experience and seeing the politics of the cultural revolution and how it suddenly

could, you know, hit you even if you're a privileged family. >> reporter: but xi came back and climbed the party ranks until he got to the very top. >> what we see as a much more aggressive, assertive, saber rattling hedge mondayic policy, he sees as a patriot policy consistent with his vision of a great china. >> reporter: for xi, a great china includes taiwan, and he told delegates he'd take control of the island, preferably peacefully, but he would not renounce force. xi's facing headwinds, though. a real estate crash, growing u.s. military presence in the region, and even internal dissent. there was a rare glimpse of that last week on a beijing overpass. a banner that read "we want food, not covid tests." and xi is a dictator. it was, of course, taken down in a hurry. but it was an uncomfortable reminder to xi jinping that

repression and control can fuel dissent as well as snuff it out. >> elizabeth palmer in hong kong. in iran, there's still no word on what caused a deadly fire at tehran's notorious evan prison. at least eight inmates died in the smoke and the flames, and hundreds more were injured. iran's government claims it started as a fight among inmates, but the blaze comes amid a month-long nationwide anti-government protest. ramy inocencio is following the developments from london. >> reporter: smoke billowed over iran's infamous evan prison from a massive fire that ripped through the facility, holding political prisoners and dual nationals, including americans. gunshots echoed, projectiles were launched into the air. just outside, anti-government protesters called for the death of iran's supreme leader. there are conflicting narratives about how this fire started. state media claiming prisoners in this sewing workshop started a fight and a fire broke out, spreading towards holding women

and political prisoners. >> when you hear about evan, you think about torture, forced confession, and political disdense. >> reporter: mahmoud is a human rights observer. he says officials could have instigated the violence. >> what we have heard more from the prisoners and their families is that they have attacked one of the wards, and they have thrown tear gas inside. there has been shooting inside the prison, beating. >> reporter: demonstrations have now been reported in more than 10 cities and towns, sparked by the death of a 22-year-old who died while in custody of iran's morality police, alleged for wearing an improper head covering. but toppling the regime is now the goal, and this time, it's different. >> people have lost their fear, and it's very bad news for the iranian regime. >> the regime has survived more than four decades, and if the clerics were to be toppled --

>> i would say the countdown of islamic republic has started. >> reporter: and cbs news has now learned that one iranian-american citizen inside evan prison is safe, but he has been moved to solitary confinement. his name is evan shar gi. he is there for espionage charges, but his family says that he is a political pawn, he's a political hostage, and they're calling on president biden to get him out asap. but case in point, this violence, these fires, more urgency, lending more urgency to getting him out as soon as possible. >> that was ramey incense yoes in london. the cbs overnight news is back in two minutes. when a cold comes on strong, knock it out with vicks dayquil severe. just one dose starts to relieve 9 of your worst cold and flu symptoms, to help take you from 9 to none. power through with vicks dayquil severe. ♪♪

question in the back of your mind of are you going to be able to survive here? >> reporter: elizabeth hutchings moved here from massachusetts in 2018. for the first seven months, the only place she could afford to live was in her van. between living in her van, your car, and various apartments, how many places have you lived here in four years? >> let's see. van -- eight or nine. >> eight or nine? >> and in a lot of places they're been that question of, oh, this is home, but for how long? >> reporter: teton county is now home to a divide bigger than those mountains for which it's named. it is the wealthiest and most unequal in america. the average income here isriian county i now more than $3.6 million. that's left a food pantry overwhelmed by demand staring at $6 million townhomes rising across the street. >> the level of wealth you see and the level of disparity that

you see, i mean some people have more money than you could spend in ten lifetimes. >> reporter: there's a saying in town that you either have three homes or three jobs. many workers have been forced to cheaper towns nearly 40 miles away over sometimes treacherous roads. hutchings works at a local restaurant and shares this basement apartment with a roommate. it's the most stable housing she's ever had here. >> if you're spending so much of your time driving or so much of your time working just trying to survive, i think everybody has that question of, is it worth it? >> this area here is actually one of the holdovers in town that i imagine in five years even will look very different. >> reporter: yale school of the environment professor justin farrell grew up in wyoming, and is author of the book "billionaire wilderness." he says the middle class here has been completely hollowed out. >> inequality is an issue playing out across the country.

is it uniquely bad here? >> it is uniquely bad actually. it's nation-leading bad. if you're making 40, 50, $60,000, you're likely living in your car, or you're living 45 minutes away. for middle eaost people, it's b unlivable. >> the reason he says is the ultra wealthy find teton county very livable. their arrival here accelerated during covid. the desire for multi-million dollar mountain escapes has created a new land rush. >> americans have always looked west. it's always been the lodestar of american identity. and probably jackson hole, with the cowboy image and the tetons, it's, i think, what makes it so special for so many people. on top of that, it's functionally a tax haven. so wyoming doesn't have a state income tax. it doesn't have a corporate tax, so it's a really great place to park your money legally. >> reporter: all that wealth is cleverly disguised behind a

facade of pickup trucks and jeans. it's almost as if the landmark watering hole, the million dollar cowboy bar, knew what was coming. >> this place is really unique because it allows people to engage in this personal transformation to become a normal person. they rely on the western stereotypes to do that, and so you have these millionaires, even billionaires dressing in wrangler jeans, dressing down, trying to avoid any sort of class indicators that might make them look wealthy. and i think it's really well intentioned. >> reporter: phil hartel is a private wealth adviser who moved here from high-tax california. >> good girl. >> reporter: he and his wife monica relocated to jackson in late 2020. >> it was really about living in a different kind of place and really being closer to nature. and so it's tremendous to be a part of that. >> i get a sense that you really do have a respect for the place, and i don't want this to sound rude. but i assume you're aware that some people here think you're part of the problem. >> oh, of course.

absolutely. >> how does that feel? >> it's my responsibility to show them that, you know, i understand that we came here more recently. we're covid babies, right? but at the same time, if you approach it with a regard and a respect and a listening, and at the end of the day like anywhere, they judge you as an individual, what kind of person you are. >> reporter: hertdle says he's planning to negotiate a third of his profits to local nonprofits and charities. >> am i part of the problem? sure i am, you know. i'm one of the people that came and was able to buy a house at a marked-up price, and i'm very grateful for that. but, again, i also see that i have an obligation as a result. >> reporter: for elizabeth hutchings, she says she just wants to make sure people like her, the horsepower that keeps this cowboy town running, can also call it home. >> if we don't find a way to create a more equitable society and to support people with housing and human services, we won't have an economy.

you won't have dozens of nice restaurants to eat at. >> do you look down the road, and do you see yourself here in ten years? >> i don't care i i'm her jim mansfield: my job was more important to me than my family, and i started drinking a lot, staying out of town. it took a toll on me. dr. charles stanley: you may be as low as the prodigal, but you are not hopelessly, helplessly lost if you will listen to what i'm about to say. jim: sitting on that couch, watching that sermon, something had happened to us.

wave of attacks killed at least four, including a woman who was six months pregnant. inside russia and near the border of ukraine, a fighter jet crashed into a nine-story apartment building. russian news agencies report that the plane's engines caught fire during a training exercise, and the pilots were able to eject. and there's some good news to report. 108 ukrainian women are free tonight after being in russian captivity. some were prisoners before the war. cbs's holly williams will start us off tonight. good evening, holly. >> reporter: good evening, norah. after months of relative calm in kyiv, today the city was pummeled for the second time in as many weeks. and while some experts believe that russia is running short of munitions, russian forces have begun using a new weapon with devastating effects. early this morning, a swarm of so-called suicide drones bombarded ukraine's capital.

kamikaze weapons packed with deadly explosives that detonate on impact. they've been used to attack frequently in recent weeks. today they rained down on city streets. russia's repeatedly claimed that it doesn't target civilians, but this neighborhood in kyiv is home to apartment buildings, restaurants, and schools. kyiv's mayor, vitali klitschko, called russia a terrorist state. >> killed a lot of people, civilians, unguilty people. and that's why it's a terror attack. >> reporter: ukraine says it shot down some of the drones today. this video appears to show ukrainian police officers making a successful hit. but they're small and apparently difficult to track on radar. they're also cheap. some reportedly selling for around $20,000 each. the u.s. says iran has agreed to provide hundreds of drones to russia for use in ukraine, but

iran denies it. on the weekend, russia blamed ukraine for strikes that injured civilians in the city of belgorod, which is just over the border. one of the drones in this morning's attack appeared to have "for belgorod" inscribed on it, apparently an act of retaliation. ukraine's president, volodymyr zelenskyy, claims russia made an even bigger order from iran, putting the figure at nearly 2,500 suicide drones. now, we can't independently verify that, but if it's true, it could have a significant impact on the course of this war. norah. >> yeah, frightening indeed. holly williams, thank you. back here at home, a blast of bitterly cold air is moving across the country, and 235 million americans are facing temperatures up to 20 degrees below normal. let's bring in meteorologist mike bettes from our partners at the weather challenge. good evening, mike. >> norah, good evening. it's been a very abrupt change

of season in the great lakes. snow just pouring down in some spots, including in ironwood, michigan. cars buried in the snow. about eight inches of snow falling here, more indicative of early december rather than id-october. a lot of places picked up actually double-digit snows in wisconsin and in michigan. you've got to have some cold air, and we've had plenty of that. it's spreading south and east. cold air goes all the way down to the gust coast. all these blue dots, record lows possible the next two days. 32-degree temperatures all the way down to jackson, mississippi. how about some of the numbers you wake up to tomorrow? 34 in nashville. 35 oklahoma city. 38 in atlanta. a high of just 54 tomorrow, 20 degrees below average. the shorts and t-shirts, norah, they get packed away, and we're changing our wardrobe dramatically tomorrow. >> yeah, time to get out the hat and gloves. mike bettes, thank you. we're getting new information tonight about the price the trump organization charged the secret service to stay at its hotels. a new report says the former president and his family's protection details paid

exorbitant rates, all taxpayer money. we have more now from cbs's scott macfarlane. >> reporter: records shared by the house oversight committee show trump hotels and properties charged secret service agents five times the normal government rate for accommodations while protecting him. expenses covered by the taxpayer. committee member gerry connolly. >> here's a man who boasts of how wealthy he is, and yet he is nickeling and diming the secret service providing protection to the first family for everything they're worth. and i just think -- i just think it ought to bother everybody. >> reporter: in one case, the secret service was charged more than $1,100 for a room at the trump international hotel in d.c. for agents who were protecting trump's son, eric, well above the allowable $242 government rate. committee documents also cited agent visits to trump's bedminster golf club and mar-a-lago, and pointed to a public statement by eric trump in 2019 where he said the secret service stays at trump's properties for free. but over four years, according

to the committee, including for several months after trump left office, the secret service made 669 payments to the trump organization totaling more than $1.4 million. >> this wasn't, you know, one thing that happened because of extraordinary circumstances. it was routine that donald trump and his companies would gouge the american taxpayers. >> reporter: in a statement tonight, eric trump is standing by his claims services provided to the secret service were offered, quote, at cost, discounted, or free. but the house oversight committee disputes that, and it is now seeking a full list of other secret service expenses at trump properties. norah. >> quite a report. scott macfarlane, thank you. there's a lot more news ahead on the "cbs overnight news."

decisions finally made in the tightly contested race for u.s. senate between senator raphael warnock and gop nominee herschel walker. >> herschel is more of a georgia guy, and he has the interest of people in georgia at heart. >> i'm supporting warnock this time around because obviously as a woman, i need to be able to protect my rights. >> reporter: warnock was among those in the voting booth, fresh off a debate where walker declined to appear. >> it's too bad herschel walker didn't show up. >> reporter: and a friday night face-off where the two tangled over law enforcement in a viral exchange. >> i've never pretended to be a police officer, and i've never -- i've never threatened a shoot-out with the police. >>hat is not aowed, sir. out badge? >> i think what we saw clearly

friday night and last night is that my opponent, herschel walker, is not ready. >> reporter: walker defended his performance, saying it was an honorary badge from a local department. >> which is a legit badge. >> reporter: in a new interview, the go candidate also acknowledged for the first time that he wrote a check for the woman who claims he wanted her to have an abortion more than a decade ago but denied that's what it was used for. >> is that your signature on the check, though? >> let me see. it could be. it doesn't matter whether it's my signature or not. that's my check. >> reporter: walker could face more questions at a press conference tuesday and in this high-stakes race, warnock will get an assist from former president obama, who campaigns here in atlanta later this month. norah. >> nikole killion, thank you so much. well, in california, there's a major development in that suspected serial killer case in the city of stockton. police have arrested a man they believe was actually looking for his next victim when he was caught. here's cbs's jonathan vigliotti. >> we are sure we stopped

another killing. >> reporteuthories say surveillance footage, tips from the public, and ballistic evidence led them to 43-year-old wesley brownlee, suspected of murdering at least six people in northern california. stockton police say he was in his car, likely targeting yet another victim when he was arrested early saturday morning, wearing all black, a mask around his neck, and in possession of a gun. >> our surveillance team followed this person while he was driving. we watched his patterns and determined he was on a mission to kill. >> reporter: authorities say the serial killings began in oakland on april 10th, 2021. more than a year went by before the killing resumed. from early july through late september of this year, five people were killed, all men and all but one were hispanic. most were homeless. >> and they just started shooting. >> reporter: brownlee is also suspected in the april 2021

at major pharmacy chains and other retailers without the need to see a doctor first. we get more from cbs's roxana saberi. >> reporter: buying a hearing aid over the counter could turn the sound back up for some people with mild to moderate hearing loss. >> it's meant to be very user friendly. consumers can get the device, set it themselves, and go on from there. >> reporter: an estimated 30 million americans could benefit from a hearing aid, but only 1 in 5 actually gets one. left untreated, hearing loss can lead to mental decline, depression, and a reduced quality of life. for example, this is how beethoven sounds with moderate hearing loss. ♪ versus normal hearing. ♪ by buying a hearing aid over the counter, consumers can also save money. non-prescription hearing aids range from roughly $200 to $3,000 a set compared to up to $8,000 for a prescription pair.

still, 81-year-old fred swanson, who has moderate hearing loss, says he wouldn't know how to go it alone. >> how would i know what i need? >> reporter: that's one reason, but audiologist tracy murphy also says if you plan to shop over the counter, you should get an exam first to make sure you don't have a serious underlying medical condition. >> things like ear pain, drainage from the ear, sudden hearing loss in the last 90 days. >> reporter: over the counter hearing aids should be available online now, and they've started hitting the shelves at stores like this walgreens in chicago. but you'll have to pay out of pocket if they're not covered by your insurance. norah. >> big development today. roxana saberi, thanks so much. roxana saberi, thanks so much. the "cbs overnight news" welcome to my digestive system. it's pretty calm in here with align probiotic. you see... your gut has good and bad bacteria. and when you get off balance, you may feel it.
