>> announcer: this is the "cbs overnight news." i'm jericka duncan in washington. thanks so much for staying with us. 2023 will bring in some big changes here in our nation's capital. tomorrow as a new congress is sworn in, republicans will take control of the house of representatives. and that will usher in what some are expecting to be another two years of bitterly divided government. a number of lawmakers in both chambers decided they had had enough. nearly three dozen members of the house along with half a dozen senators decided not to seek re-election in the fall.

robert costa has a look ahead. >> reporter: a new year, a new congress, and -- >> we have fired nancy pelosi. >> reporter: divided government. >> most people never heard of us. they're like, really? there's a group where democrats and republicans actually get together and sit down? >> that's true. they haven't heart of you. >> reporter: in the splintered gop-held house republican brian fitzpatrick of pennsylvania and democrat josh gottheimer of new jersey still believe good things can happen. is it realistic that you can actually solve the problems next year? >> yes. and we have no choice. we have to. >> reporter: but these moderates who lead the problem solvers caucus could face challenges from problem makers. >> how do you get aattention if you're competing against a bomb thrower? >> well, we get things done. so when the infrastructure bill got across the finish line, that was us along with our senate colleagues negotiating for months. getting something done. >> reporter: before any deals many republicans say it's time for investigations.

>> i want to be clear. this is an investigation of joe biden. and that's where the committee will focus in this next congress. >> it seems like you have a bucket of cold water to pour upon any hope that this is going to be a cheery congress. >> it's cheery if you enjoy dysfunction. >> reporter: "new york times" magazine writer robert draper is the author of "weapons of mass delusion." >> for those people who would like to see things actually get done i don't think this republican conference is currently equipped for that. they're way too fractious. and i think the loudest voices in the room are the ones who are far more interested in politics as performance art than they are in the nitty-gritty of governance. >> there is a shadow that falls over capitol hill still from january 6th. you have so many republicans in the house who were trying to overturn the election. and they're still there. >> that's correct.

and there are not only republicans who are still there who voted to -- not to certify the election but there are democrats who well remember that. >> reporter: and some republicans say impeachment is on the table. >> when we turn on the tv in the spring, will it just be investigation after investigation, hearing after hearing about the biden family and the biden administration? >> in the immediate, yes. i think that's the low-hanging fruit that republicans for the most part can agree on. that it will be the party of payback when they take back the majority. >> reporter: history, however, shows presidents can push back. and never forget that they hold that veto pen. >> that again was robert costa in washington. overseas, ukrainian president zelenskyy says he expects 2023 to be a turning point in the war with russia. national security correspondent david martin has more on that story. >> reporter: after ten months of intense combat and a staggering

expenditure of ammunition the war in ukraine heads into a cold and dark new year. for ukraine and its president, volodymyr zelenskyy, it is a fight for survival. for russia and vladimir putin it's a military debacle. >> he understands that this has been a mess. i don't think he's accepted that he is defeated because the essence of being putin is never accepting that you've been defeated. >> reporter: fred kagan's institute for the study of war produces daily maps showing how much ground russia has been forced to give up since its invasion stalled. putin is trying to make up for it by unleashing drone and missile strikes against ukraine's cities. break ukraine's will to continue the fight. and most importantly i think he's focused on trying to break western support for ukraine. >> which does he have a better chance of breaking?

>> the will of the western democracies. i think he has very little chance of breaking the will of the ukrainians in any short period of time. >> reporter: the biden administration put on a christmas pageant of support for zelenskyy during a whirlwind visit to the nation's capital. the embodiment of his country's fighting spirit. zelenskyy thanked the u.s. for the $22 billion in weapons it has already committed and made clear he will be asking for more. >> we have artillery. yes. thank you. is it enough? honestly, not really. >> reporter: ukraine is heading into the dead of winter under a continuing barrage of russian drone and missile strikes. >> destroying the systems that provide heat and light to the ukrainian people during the coldest, darkest part of the year. russia is using winter as a weapon. >> reporter: kagan thinks ukraine can turn the weapon of winter against the russians.

>> right now the ukrainians have a window of opportunity. this winter, especially as the ground freezes if we provide them with the systems they need, the russian army is still generally disorganized and generally reeling and the ukrainians have the opportunity to regain a lot of territory. >> how much longer do you expect this war to go on? >> it can go on for years. that's unlikely but possible. >> reporter: how long is likely to be determined by how much more territory zelenskyy retakes and putin loses. >> the art here is helping putin understand that he's lost this round and it's time to fold this hand. we have to persuade him that this approach, this military approach is done and he cannot oter than continue to lose here. he's not there yet. and we need to help the ukrainians get him there as quickly as possible. >> that again was david martin reporting. president biden also faces challenges in the far east. elizabeth palmer has that view

from asia. >> reporter: north he korea's leader kim jong un upped the ante in asia this past year by test-firing missile after missile after missile. over 60 of them. one flew over japan and set the warning sirens wailing. so what will kim do for an encore in 2023? satellite pictures suggest he's planning a nuclear test to expand his already fearsome military machine. >> there is considered opinion that they are continuing the development to minute churize nuclear devices, nuclear warheads. >> reporter: joe bermudez is an analyst with the center for strategic and international studies. what's the endgame here? >> survival of the kim regime. and the survival of north korea. and in that order, i would say. >> reporter: for help in reining in north korea joe biden

appealed to china's president, xi jinping, when they met in bali in november. xi made no promises. but america's president signaled that the meeting had dialed down u.s.-china hostilities. >> we're going to compete vigorously. but i'm not looking for conflict. i'm looking to manage this competition responsibly. >> reporter: in the new year secretary of state antony blinken will visit china for more talks that will focus in part on taiwan. america's short-term goal is to dissuade beijing from invading the island it claims is its own. but it's china's long-term goals to wield a lot more power clear across the region that has its neighbors, america's allies, worried. joint military exercises between american, japanese and south korean forces will continue in 2023. and the arsenal is only going to

grow. japan's prime minister, fumio ki kishida, just announced the country's biggest military build-up since world war ii. as for china, it's already at war. against covid-19, which exploded at the end of the year after the government abruptly ended mass testing and mandatory quarantines. now much from its own stability to the world's supply chains rests on how well it treats the sick and speed-vaccinates the elderly. as 2023 dawns, it's just too early to tell. >> elizabeth palmer reporting from tokyo. the "overnight news" is back in just two minutes.

at this section of the border, there are more than 600 texas national guard soldiers. 1.5 miles of razor wire. and 50 armored humvees. soldiers cannot process asylum claims. so their goal here is to keep the migrants from crossing here and send them to a legal port of entry. while observing the texas national guard this woman carrying a young boy approached the u.s. side of the rio grande. she was met by razor wire and soldiers telling her she couldn't cross over here. while anxiously watching to make sure she didn't slip in the river. on the el paso side hundreds of migrants line up at shelters and churches. most have their paperwork after making an asylum claim with cbp, but little else. every day a small army of volunteers like martha lay show up to hand out blankets and jackets to the migrants.

>> they're humans. they're here. they're suffering. and we need to do something. and if more people would come out and help, you know, we all need to be united. and we need to be compassionate. >> reporter: susan goodell is ceo of a local food bank in el paso. they serve almost 1,000 meals every day. >> i don't think anybody can see the people living here on the streets to see the little kids, the families, and not have compassion for the people who are really here with nothing. we will be here as long as there are people to feed. and this is an important job and it has to be done. >> reporter: temperatures in el paso will not be freezing this weekend, but they'll still be cold. lows in the 40s. and that's a concern because from what we've seen and after talking to some migrants they're telling us they're starting to see more parents with young children. omar villafranca, cbs news, el paso, texas. there's a lot more news ahead on the "cbs overnight news."
