>> reporter: none of the american companies agreed to an interview or would answer whether they do business in russia. u-blox, the maker of the swiss chip we saw says they cut ties with russian companies at the start of the war. but cbs has seen recent customs forms that show components from the u.s. and europe are still making it into russia today through distributors in third party countries. >> the microchips are going indirectly to russia through china, malaysia and other third countries. >> reporter: so are you saying that countries like china are laundering this technology for russia? >> of course. yeah. >> reporter: the companies argue it's intended for civilians. but that doesn't stop russia from using it to kill. >> if those companies were in this room, what would you tell them? >> want to ask if they really want to see their logos here is the question. >> reporter: chris livesay, cbs news, kyiv. well, tonight abortion

>> reporter: even some of mccarthy's supporters seemed to agree. >> if he doesn't get the necessary support, this can't go on forever, and he needs to look at stepping aside. >> reporter: one name that has emerged as a possible backup candidate, mccarthy's deputy, steve scalise of louisiana, though it's unclear if he could garner enough support. >> sure, it looks messy, but democracy is messy. >> reporter: in the meantime, house business remains at a standstill, a stark contrast to this rare bipartisan event today in kentucky, with senate minority leader mitch mcconnell and president biden. >> to be able to have a congress who can't function is just embarrassing. we're the greatest nation in the world. how can that be? >> well, nikole killion joins us now from capitol hill where all the action is. hi there, nikole. tell us, what are the implications of all this, and what is the way out? >> tonight mccarthy met with some of his detractors. he's already made a number of concessions, so it's unclear what more he can give.

such horrible things that tell you that maybe you don't matter, you're not strong, that you don't have the right to make choices over your own body, it's a pretty powerful thing to then be able to move in a way that really taps into strength. >> reporter: if i can do this, i can control other parts of what's happening? >> absolutely. absolutely. >> reporter: ptsd causes elevated stress hormones, often trapping a person in fight or flight mode. exercises like this barbell back squat might disrupt that. >> doing something like that could allow someone to just focus on the movement and develop a better connection to what their body is doing many that moment. >> reporter: is this a kind of a message of doing this exercise also means you're in control as opposed to the things that may have happened to you from outside of your body? >> in a lot of ways, yes, it can feel like you're in control when you are carrying weight or pushing weight or pressing things or lifting things. >> reporter: but there is

another message here about holding weights behind you, says dr. james whitworth of the veteran's administration boston health care system and a researcher on trauma and post traumatic stress disorder. >> the benefit of that is that you maybe feel fearful about what's coming up behind you because of an experience you had. and this gives you a sense of control or power over that process. is that a fairly good example of why this weight training can help shift how you feel about trauma and post traumatic stress? >> i think that's a good example, barry. and using powerful movements that make people feel strong could be one of those benefits. >> reporter: while serving as a platoon sergeant in iraq, he first connected trauma with per size therapy. >> i would exercise with my soldiers to blow off steam, to deal with the stressors of combat. but it wasn't until i lost one of my friends and soldiers,

buddies to suicide that i really got interested in trauma, ptsd, and how exercise might be helpful for people suffering from ptsd. >> reporter: now he is focusing on weightlifting as a therapy. it's almost like seeing can reshape believing. seeing the growing muscle helps in believing you have greater inner strength. >> it is an opportunity to disrupt some of those cognitive distortions, negative views of themselves that may have arisen as a result of the trauma. >> reporter: a philadelphia gym, trainer jessica works with heather deroar. >> when you have trauma, you can get very disconnected from your body. and using strength training movements to help get more in your body and aware of how things feel in your body and how these different sensations feel can be really helpful. >> reporter: heather believes the results are helping resolve her trauma. >> i think that i'm on the way for sure. gaining trust in my body,

gaining awareness of my body is laying a strong foundation towards resolution for me. >> reporter: jessica teaches from her own experience. >> i am a survivor of trauma myself, and i was not always like an athletic person orchid. so then i stumbled across the trauma-informed weightlifting training, and was like oh, man, this is for me. >> reporter: the connection between exercise and good health is long-standing, but using resistance training as a coping strategy for ptsd symptoms is still being studied and may take a while to gain acceptance. i'm curious. when you started looking at this research and thinking about this, did your colleagues think you were just a little crazy? >> that's a fun question. i would say no. >> reporter: so when you talk about this at a dinner party, people actually take you seriously? they don't just brush you off?

unclaimed baggage center. when millions of people are traveling every single day, that fraction of 1% really does add up to a lot of unclaimed bags. >> reporter: you're looking at the contents of those bags right here at the nearly 50,000-square-foot storefront which has become a tourist attraction to more than a million shoppers each year. >> definitely. >> reporter: just like verla dulin from ohio. >> this is exciting. >> reporter: who agreed to open an orphan suitcase in something the company calls the baggage experience. >> look at this. >> a men's long-sleeved button down shirt. >> that looks good. >> reporter: verla didn't find any emeralds or rubies. >> oh, my gosh, look at that! >> reporter: she did walk away with a nice souvenir. >> wow, i love this. >> reporter: isn't that cool? >> reporter: so how exactly does a lost suitcase make its way here? well, the airline has 90 days to get the bag back to its rightful owner. if they don't, the unclaimed baggage center, which has

contracts with all major airlines, comes into the picture. >> we have truck drivers that make the trip around the country to pick up these unclaimed bags from airlines, and we bring them back here to scottsboro, alabama and our operations facility where we sort and process these suitcases. >> reporter: then each item gets sorted into one of three categories. sell, donate, or recycle. we wanted to show you that part of the process too, but the unclaimed baggage center wouldn't let us into their operations facility, siting proprietary reasons. and just like that secret area behind the luggage belt at the airport, there are some things we're just not allowed to see. rachel polanski, scottsboro, alabama. the "cbs overnight news" will be right back.

consistent, but i've got to be honest with you, it doesn't seem like it's flowing is atno t coa ncinern for so many businee because downtown san anselmo, it can indeed flood. so many businesses around here , because the waters can rise and they know the process, so they were sandbagging and preparing for all of this, but downtown businesses know that that can cause harm because they dealt with this so many other times and they have those sandbags and preparing to make sure . they are hoping the creek doesn't rise. it doesn't look like it will at this point this morning, but we are watching it just like these businesses are and hope to leave they can escape potential flooding. >> thanks so much. pouring rain and gusty winds have been impacting the bay and coastal areas entries are crashing down. overnight on your half moon bay and have seen the storm damage in the area.

was several inches deep, but didn't get into any nearby buildings. let's get a check on our weather beginning with first alert meteorologist darren peck on this first alert weather day. what are we looking at? >> there is another round of rain coming. it should be manageable, but as we get into the morning commute, there is going to be a line of showers and thunderstorms and it will have an occasional thunderstorm mixed in, because we are seeing that from the system. there is a lot over on the east side of the state, but we are waiting for the next bend of rain out here . that is the organized line that will mark its way across the bay as we go through the morning. it does come through primarily the 7:00 hour. when it does that, there will be brief downpours with it and occasional thunderstorm . it won't last terribly long, but as we get towards late morning and afternoon, the showers become a bit more numerous. this is going into the early afternoon, but once

we get to about that 2:00 or 3:00 timeframe , these will wind down and we will get a break for the rest of thursday evening . friday might have a shower or two, and we can see on friday morning, a few showers to the north bay, but we are also going to be a day off on friday and maybe a few more showers in the afternoon on friday, but here is the next storm . we are looking ahead now to saturday. as we get into saturday, separate organized line of showers will come in with a better one for sunday. saturday and sunday , we will see the activity start to pick up once again. sunday looks a little more widespread in terms of rain then saturday well. if you look at how much is coming from now through sunday, potentially another two inches of rain coming to the north bay, but that doesn't get here till the weekend. the next two days will be fairly quiet with the exception of the first half of today, so as long as we

see that line of showers and thunderstorms, we've got a flood watch. it stays in effect until 4:00 in the afternoon, which is for the ministry flooding, but primarily now this is for the creeks bay area wide. more specific bay area where this becomes a little more significant and that is here through the russian river watershed . we showed you those at dramatic drone images of what it looked like out there yesterday. this is an area where we are likely going to see the russian river get into flood stage. not only for later today, but back here. the timeframe attachment and other days are small, but that is the next room, so where you see the line arcing upwards, it shows you high we expect . once you get above that red line, you are well into flood category . that happens for the weekend. as far as the wind, things are coming down and we are not anticipating anything strong . when we look across

the seven-day forecast, we talked about how saturday and sunday, more rain coming and we will see a better organized line coming on sunday, then another system comes behind that for monday and tuesday. all four of those days are first alert days. primarily because of the potential will be there for more flooding on the russian river and local street flooding, as well. much more on this throughout the morning. for now, let's get over to gianna. keeping on a close eye on the freeways. you might see some debris, which is the case in some spots and it might be slick out there from the rain and that rain is still going to be hitting those freeways again today. a heads up, windy conditions on some of our bay area bridges and advisories were issued , so plan ahead. if you are taking the golden gate bridge, it is quiet, but a little windy there and advise on the san mateo bridge, as well. extra volume for commuters heading westbound. angel island ferry and service

has been canceled for today, so check that schedule before you head out the door. caltrain, not really running just yet, but we will keep you posted. i do have noise news to report. 580 have shut down, because of flooding. the has been cleared, so good news there and there is still a closure near manner as you head out of pacifica in the right lane due to mud and tree down. you can get by in the left lane. speaking of highway 1, north of there between rocky point and willow can play is completely shut down until further notice and in the south bay, road closure in effect. that is on sierra road and both directions from felter road to skyview drive, so be careful through the roadways this morning. amanda. >> safety is the priority. new trouble for passengers after ks

the stormy weather is causing air travel disruptions in the bay area, especially at sfo this morning. the airport is reporting 14 cancellations and 35 delays. this comes after dozens of flights scrapped yesterday at oakland international. there were seven delays, but fortunately, no cancellation so far. menander -- mineta san jose has 10 delays and no cancellation. let's take a loth , because

as we start to get into the next several days, things get busy. as we have gotten through the worst of what the storm had to throw at us and make this mistake, we are not done with the storm yet. still some showers and some could have isolated thunderstorms. there is still flood watch. we will go over all bu nt to you whatthe long-range forecast as we go through the next week and half. i let this play forward and we are looking at sunday . that is where we see the next organized system come through. that one is why we have a first alert day on sunday and it looks like more widespread rain, then another one comes behind that focused on monday and tuesday and probably more tuesday at this point, so we are going out several days, but the models have been fairly consistent in this very steady train of storms continuing to

come our way and once we get past the one on tuesday, we will let this play all the way out and go to january 12, which is thursday. that is a week from today. we are still in this pattern. we could keep going. we are not going to get too caught up in the details of just how guaranteed every one of those is, but it is important to come away with the idea that as impressive as the last series of storms have been, the best information we have to go on right now shows us that there is more coming. likely through the first half of january , so seven-day forecast looks really busy and we've got a lot of first alert days on here and specifically from saturday through tuesday and it has everything to do with the fact that the ground is so saturated and more storms will lead to greater flooding concerns, so much more on all of that in the coming days. amanda, over to you. let's take a look at lake tahoe. this is the snow falling down in castle peak. alpine meadow, can't see too much in the early morning

hours, but the department of water resources reported 55 1/2 inches of snow. that is equivalent to 17/2 inches of water. the coming months could push o
