"down with xi jinping, down with the communist party." the protests in shanghai and other cities were spark by a

tragedy thousands of miles away in xinjiang, western china. ten people burned to death in an apartment fire last week. a furious crowd gathered around local government offices, convinced that covid restrictions had stopped the fire engines from reaching the blaze. authorities denied that, but the story brought people into the vi at the vigil in shanghai, they held up blank sheets of paper to symbolize the way critics of the government are routinely silenced. and by sunday night, another vigil underway in beijing had spun off even more protests. some of the pushback against zero covid may have its roots in chinese viewers seeing crowds at the world cup, unmasked and unafraid. but by today, it appeared state tv was censoring images of those bare-faced spectator, all part of xi jinping's plan to double down on his zero covid policy.

and the sight of citizens chanting "lift lockdowns" isn't likely to change his mind. elizabeth palmer, cbs news, tokyo. well, tonight investigators are searching for the person who shot and killed a 12-year-old in downtown atlanta. police say a dispute led to the shooting near the popular atlantic station shopping center saturday night. five teenagers were injured, including one who is in critical condition. the buffalo mass shooting suspect is expected to plead guilty to state charges tomorrow morning. the 19-year-old is accused of killing ten people at a top supermarket in may. he is also facing federal hate crime charges. his court appearance comes a day after survivors and loved ones gathered to honor shooting victims across this country. cbs' danya bacchus reports. >> reporter: vigils for victims, makeshift memorials, and communities nationwide coming

there. >> does it have 60 votes in the senate right now? probably not. >> reporter: republicans, who take over the house in january, argued there are enough gun laws already on the books. >> passing a bill would simply end gun violence then and i think you would have overwhelming support in congress for that. >> it saves lives. >> reporter: here on nantucket, president biden lamented the fact that some laws just weren't enforced in recent mass shootings, including a red flag law that could have kept guns out of the hands of a man who killed five and injured dozens more at an lgbtq nightclub in colorado springs last week. >> in this case, it wasn't pursued by the local sheriff agency. >> reporter: on "face the nation," colorado governor jared polis said he wants to see his state's red flag law expanded so local prosecutors, as well as family members can petition to have guns confiscated from troubled individuals. >> we also need to make sure that we publicize the law and make sure that the tools are in

people's hands when they need it. >> reporter: congress last passed an assault weapons ban back in 1994, but allowed to it lapse ten years later. and house democrats have passed similar bans repeatedly since, as recently as this july. and they want to do it again next month, but that ban has never been able to pass through a closely divided senate. jericka? >> a very complicated and complex issue, nancy. thank you very much. the u.s. soccer team is showing solidarity with protesters in iran ahead of its world cup match. the u.s. soccer federation initially posted iran's national flag without the emblem. those posts have since been removed on social media. but officials confirm the altered flag postings were intentional and were a show of support for women in iran facing -- fighting for basic human rights. the u.s. faces iran on tuesday. well, an upset at the world cup today led to riots in brussels. belgium lost a crucial match to
