russia has held since the start of the war. backed by billions in u.s. and international aid, ukraine is now moving in but with extreme caution. it could, after all, be a trap. as ukrainian president zelenskyy suggests. "the enemy," he says, "does not hand out gifts." but the enemy has suffered astonishing losses thanks in large part to a steady flow of american firepower. >> it's evidence of the fact that they have some real problems, the russian military. >> reporter: only recently, putin held a victory celebration in moscow to announce his illegal annexation of four ukrainian regions, including kherson. they're becoming our citizens forever, he said. but for ukraine's advancing army and the people living under occupation, forever may not last much longer. and the timing is very

shasta is up. >> it's about 30 foot higher, the lake is, this year than last year. and that all has to do with the amount of control that the bureau has taken on letting the water out, and they're holding water back. and we've all benefited from that this year. >> reporter: people on the lake have certainly benefited from the bureau of reclamations' cautious, drought-minded management this year. but that only means things have to be increasingly efficint down river. that's farmers in the valley and a lot of people right here in the bay area for whom shasta is an important part of the water supply. back on the lake, the additional 30 feet of water has kept docks floating, butxaly lifted business. >> it's hard for us as business owners up here. you know, someone calls us, and we say, okay, yeah, the lake is -- you know, our docks are in the water. we have boats. there's plenty of water, but they're skeptical. >> reporter: so even in drought, what's low can be a matter of

perspective, and as for what the future holds -- >> honestly, i just look up at the sky. and, you know, what it gives us is what it gives us. >> reporter: after 29 years, jones knows fortunes can change quickly here, and when they do, this lake can change quickly as well. >> one good winter and the water will be pretty much back up to where those trees here are. it's just a matter right now of crossing our fingers and hoping for the best. >> reporter: wilson walker, cbs news, lake shasta, california. for thousands of years, the river thames, which runs through london, has been a highway for ship traffic from around the world. these days, when the tide rolls out, the riverbed plays host to treasure seekers known affectionately as mud larkers. holly williams reports. >> reporter: on the banks of the river thames, scavengers are hunting for treasure, not for gold or anything of monetary value -- >> very nice. looks like a crown as well.

>> reporter: but broken shards of london's history. >> oh, you found some pins? >> reporter: this is what londoners call mud larking, searching for coins, pottery, and other ancient artifacts in the silt that's exposed when the ide goes out. >> like it's ancient, and it could be very old and cool because it's from a long time ago. >> yeah. >> reporter: this is a taster session for first timers. >> can you see the lines on it. >> reporter: they'll need a permit from the london port authority if they want to take it up rengly. >> that's night. >> reporter: christine webb is their guide. >> lovely. >> yes, very nice. >> i'm going to get to hold this. >> reporter: she's been mud larking for 11 years. her prize find, this coin from 1572. >> on the other side, you've got the image of elizabeth i. >> wow. >> my aim.

i would love, although i don't know if it would ever happen, would be to get something that i found in a museum on display. ideally with my name next to it. >> oh, look at this one. >> reporter: mud larks can't sell their finds, but they say their hobby is addictive, and many have jaw-dropping collections. >> it was made about 350 years ago. >> reporter: from roman currency to medieval shoe buckles and stranger finds. >> they would also bake them into like a pudding or a dessert at christmastime. >> reporter: the thames snakes its way through the center of london. for over 2,000 years, its murky waters have carried trading boats, warships, and pleasure craft. the river thames is the lifeblood of this ancient city. from roman rule to viking -- frheth black death to shakespeare's globe

theater, all of it happened here. >> the ships were coming in from all across the british empire, and there were times people said you could get from one side of the river to the other just on boats. they were so solidly packed in on the river. >> reporter: dr. hannah stockton is a maritime historian, who told us the original mudlarks were children driven by poverty in the 1700s, looking for scraps they could sell. >> it was the kind of thing you would only do if you really, really had to. it was really dirty, dangerous work. >> reporter: these days, mud larks are unashamed history nerds. people like simon bourne, with a big following on social media. >> let's get some luck in the mud. >> look at that. >> reporter: he took us mudlarking to one of his favorite spots in east london, a former garbage dump. >> all the sewage was washed out from the streets down the pipes, down the gutters, and ended up here. it was basically used as a rubbish pit. >> so we're dealing with

hundreds, maybe thousands of years of sewage? >> yeah, essentially that. yeah. sewage and rubbish that they didn't want. soar simon's discoveries include this cup from the 1600s, an engraved tobacco tin from the 1700s, and an artillery shell from world war ii. all of it preserved because the mud in the thames has no oxygen, which would otherwise have destroyed them. >> that's victorian or thereabouts. >> reporter: with the help of simon's well-trained eye -- >> oh, where? >> just there. >> we made our own find. one penny from the reign of the current king's grandfather. >> there will be a date on here as well. 1948. there you go. your first coin. that's pretty cool. >> wow. >> reporter: it's easy to see how mudlarks catch the bug. >> i would love to just be put

columbia, south carolina, gets hit, then eventually all the way into the northeast, producing very heavy rain across the ohio valley and then right into new england as well. some spots could get three to five inches of rain. that could lead to some flash flooding. there is an area here from around greenville, south carolina, all the way to burlington, vermont, norah -- what a swath there -- that could see flash flooding over the next two days. >> wow. mike bettes, thank you so much. two days after the critical midterm election, votes are still being tabulated with control of congress hanging in the balance. cbs news rates the house as lean republican as the gop inches closer to the magic number of 218. in georgia, the next campaign is already under way as democratic senator raphael warnock and republican herschel walker get ready for a december runoff. cbs's mark strassmann is at a walker rally tonight. >> reporter: it's the kickoff to the runoff. day one of georgia's overti

>> obviously he's misinformed two years later about the law. >> reporter: democrats are desperate to keep control of the senate because republicans seem poised to take control of the house. roughly 40 house seats remain uncalled. as president biden suggested today, it's hardly the red tsunami many republicans expected. >> and experts said we couldn't beat the odds, but we did beat the odds. >> reporter: here in north georgia, they're setting up for a herschel walker event. senator ted cruz will introduce walker. this campaign has a tough decision ahead of it, whether to have former president trump campaign for walker here. politically, walker is something of a trump creation, but candidates backed by trump have had an embarrassing series of losses here. norah. >> all right. mark strassmann, thank you. the "cbs overnight news" will be right back.

>> announcer: this is the "cbs overnight news." turning now to the economy and your pocketbooks, the latest consumer price index shows the u.s. inflation rate is up 7.7% compared to one year ago. but it appears to be slowing. year-over-year, that's the smallest increase since january, and wall street certainly liked the news with the biggest rally in two years. the dow was up more than 1,200 points. that's almost 4%. while nasdaq jumped more than 7%. the s&p surged more than 5%. but stocks are not the only thing soaring. so are interest rates. in tonight's money watch, cbs's lilia luciano reports the average interest rate for a

flag, even move their clocks forward one hour to moscow time. today ukrainian forces are winding it back, reclaiming villages one by one. but with extreme caution. russian forces leave behind a deadly trail of mines and booby traps, and they still hold the city of kherson itself, and it could, after all, be a trap. "the enemy," says president zelenskyy, "does not hand out gifts." but the enemy has suffered loss after loss in recent months, and may be on the brink. >> it will take some time until ukrainian troops will enter liberated areas which are heavily mined, and it will take a lot of time to clear up. russian troops will leave the area, for example, till the end of this month. probably it will be over by december. >> reporter: now, according to russian state tv, the kremlin was hoping the gop would win big in midterm elections so it would
