3:31 am
from house republicans for visitor logs to that property. we're learning new information tonight. there are no logs. cbs's adriana diaz was the first to report this story and is here to start us off again tonight. good evening, adriana. >> reporter: good evening, norah. the document disclosures continued this weekend in what's become an expanding legal and political headache for the white house. >> how do you think that the classified documents got into your boxes? >> reporter: the president today ignored questions about the disclosure of five more classified pages at his wilmington home as the demand for answers from the white house from both parties increased. >> we have a serious trust issue. >> reporter: in a letter, house oversight committee chairman james comer told white house chief of staff ron klain the white house must provide the wilmington residence's visitor log. but a white house spokesman told cbs news there's no such thing. like every president across decades of modern history, his personal residence is personal. >> what was your response when
3:32 am
the white house or the secret service told you that no such logs existed? >> i find that hard to believe. it's very hard to believe because the secret service would -- you would assume would vet people before they would be granted entry into the former vice president's home or certainly the current president's home. but let's take them at their word and say they weren't. >> reporter: the latest disclosure of classified materials came saturday when white house counsel richard sauber announced he had gone to the wilmington house thursday evening to hand over a single-page document found earlier. "while i was transferring it to the doj officials who accompanied me," he wrote, "five additional pages with classification markings were discovered." democrats are also voicing concern. >> i'd like to know what these documents were, whether there was any risk of exposure, and what the harm would be. >> reporter: presidents and vice presidents can take classified records home with little accounting of what they have and where, says former acting cia director michael morrell. >> they're cut slack because of who they are, and i think
3:33 am
that -- that's what has to end, right? somebody needs to be put in charge of knowing what information has gone to the residence and making sure that that information comes back. >> reporter: at the end of an administration, both classified and unclassified government documents belonging to a president or vice president must be turned over to the national archives. norah, the special counsel is expected to start as early as this week. he'll be gathering a team to dig in to why those documents were not at the archives. >> yeah, and what was in them. adriana diaz, thank you so much. tonight, terror on the tarmac. we're getting a firsthand account of what it was like to be on board one of those planes that almost collided with another. that averted crisis has transportation secretary pete buttigieg praising the air traffic controllers who helped stop a catastrophe at new york's jfk airport. we get more from cbs's kris van cleave. >> tell ta 1943, cancel takeoff
3:34 am
plans. >> reporter: just moments after clearing a delta 73 p bound for the dominican republic with 151 people on board for takeoff at new york's jamp airport friday, a plane heading to london taxied across the same runway. the delta pilot slammed on the brakes, stopping their takeoff about 1,000 feet from american flight 106 according to the faa. >> all right, whew, delta 1943. >> everyone was thrust forward from their waist because everyone was stopping so quickly. i felt adrenaline. i felt this was not right. i -- i was afraid this wasn't going to end well. >> reporter: brian healey was on that delta flight. >> you really are kind of helpless. you are in the hands of that captain, and the air traffic control and the other people at the airport. i'm grateful to the captain. >> reporter: the national transportation safety board is now investigating why the american plane apparently missed its turn. >> the last clearance we were given, we were cleared to cross, is that correct?
3:35 am
>> i guess we'll listen to the tapes but you were supposed to depart run way 4-left. you're currently holding short of 31-left. >> i'll call it a close call. >> reporter: robert sumwalt is a former ntsb chair. >> what happened? why did this happen? was there a distraction in the cockpit of the american flight? was there a misunderstanding as to the aircraft control clearance? those are the types of things ntsb will want to find out. >> reporter: and investigators would typically want to review the cockpit voice recorders on both planes. but because that american airlines flight went ahead and departed for london, it is possible that that audio has already been recorded over. tonight, american airlines tells cbs news it has launched its own fu full internal review of the incident and is working with the ntsb. >> kris van cleave, thank you so much. tonight, republican leaders are under growing pressure to explain what they knew about disgraced congressman george santos' lies on his resume and
3:36 am
when they knew it. the new york congressman has admitted to lying about his background and even his faith while running for office. house speaker kevin mccarthy said today he's long been suspicious of santos. >> i never know about his resume or not, but i always had a few questions about it. >> mccarthy didn't elaborate on why he didn't confront santos about those questions. santos is now under multiple criminal and ethics investigations and faces growing calls to resign. we want to turn now to that investigation into that horrific plane crash over the weekend in nepal. all 72 people on board are presumed dead. the plane's flight data recorders were retrieved today, and there's now video that appears to show the final moments from inside the plane, which may be hard to watch. here's cbs's elizabeth palmer. >> reporter: a video apparently filmed on board the yeti airlines flight by an indian tourist seconds before the disaster appears to show calm in the cabin with not a hint of trouble.
3:37 am
so whatever caused this crash happened suddenly. the weather was good, and alilotno stressall. on sunday morning, a phone camera caught the plane coming in to land, abruptly tilting, then catastrophe. bodies had to be winched out of the deep gorge where it plunged to earth in the town of pokhara, popular with himalayan trekkers. recovery crews, including the nepali military, have been combing through the wreckage, and today there was some good news for investigators. both the flight data and cockpit voice recorders were found intact. nepal is a poor mountainous country with a deadly air safety record. more than 350 people have been killed in air accidents since 2000, but this crash is its worst civil aviation disaster in 30 years.

>> announcer: this is the "cbs overnight news." i'm willie james inman in washington. thanks for staying with us. the united nations is warning of a potential catastrophic famine in east africa where decades of war and two years of drought have pushed millions of people to the brink of starvation. in somalia, unicef says more than half a million children are at risk of dying over the next six months unless urgent action is taken. debora patta traveled to a small town in that war-torn country and spoke with mothers who risk everything for their starving kids. >> reporter: this used to be
3:41 am
empty land. now a refuge for those fleeing climate change and conflict. over two years of drought has left southern somalia desolate and villages with a stark choice. stay and face starvation or leave and risk the fighting waged by one of al qaeda's deadliest affiliates, al shabaab. every day, the depleted, the desperate, and the near dying arrive in baidoa, weak with hunger. this woman and her daughters just got here after traveling over 70 miles. "i've come to find food and medicine," she tells us. "back home there is nothing to eat. it's too dangerous for aid organizations to enter her village and any food that does reach there is weaponized. al shabaab controls supplies, she told us. if they haven't authorized it, they burn the food. the mood across the camp suddenly shifts. an al shabaab fighter has been
3:42 am
spotted amongst the tents. police have been alerted. it's not easy working in somalia. we've just been told a suspected militant has been arrested, and that means we have to leave. at a different refugee camp, we find an individual who fled al shabaab controlled territory after her crops failed to grow for a fifth consecutive season with no rain. "it's the worst drought i've ever experienced in my life," she said. mohammed was eight months pregnant when she walked with her 3-year-old son for six days to find food. when we met her, she'd given birth to baby assad just three days earlier. "i was all alone," she told us. "nobody was around to help." in a makeshift shelter with no water and no food, she was forced to cut her own umbilical cord. baby assad was born hungry, but
3:43 am
mohammed has made the perilous journey to save him from famine, for when children are starving, a mother's courage knows no bounds. debora patta, baidoa somalia. >> the battle against climat change is taking aim at a station ari target, cement. turns out that making cement gives off a huge amount of greenhouse gases. how much exactly? well, if the cement industry was a country, it would be the third largest emitter of planet-warming carbon dioxide, right behind china and the u.s. but new technology may soon change that. ben tracy reports. >> reporter: it's the backbone of our buildings, our roads, and our bridges, and just about every dam thing in between. cement is a powder that when mixed with water forms concrete. besides water, it's the most widely used substance on earth. cement is the binder, so that's the sticky stuff that we put in
3:44 am
concrete. what people always like to say is, you no he, it's not a cement trux. it's a concrete truck. >> reporter: cody finky is the ceo of brimstone. if you want to know what his team is attempting to do behind this garage door in oakland, california, well, the writing is on the wall. >> it's really nice to look at. finky and the co-founder were caltech scientists who decided to tackle cement while their fellow grad students focused on electric vehicle batteries and solar panels. >> almost no one was working on cement. >> and that might be that cement is not particularly sexy. >> yeah. it's pretty gray and blocky. it doesn't look high-tech. >> reporter: cement is a concrete product. the industry is responsible for about 8% of planet-warming carbon dioxide emissions. that's about the same as every passenger car on the road worldwide and far more than the global carbon emissions from aviation. >> fire in the hole, guys. fire in the hole.
3:45 am
>> reporter: most traditional cement is made from limestone blasted out of the side of giant quarries like this one in california's mojave desert. >> it's like the flintstones come to life. >> yep. >> reporter: steve regis runs cement operations for cal portland's oro grande cement plant. >> this is limestone? >> reporter: limestone contains calcium, the binding agent in cement. but limestone also contains carbon dioxide, the main greenhouse gas rapidly warming the planet. >> now, of course, the co2 up the stack is the obvious elephant in the room. >> reporter: he took us up to the top of the plant -- >> just watch your hard hat so it doesn't fall off. >> reporter: -- to show us this giant kiln. >> that's really the heart of the cement lab. >> reporter: where the limestone is super heated to about 2,700 degrees using these piles of coal. that process releases tons of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. >> this stack is where the co2 comes out? >> correct. >> reporter: regis argues that
3:46 am
concrete is a time-tested and reliable building material, and the industry is working to make it cleaner. but back at brimstone, cody finky has discovered a potentially game-changing, yet shockingly simple shortcut. >> we're just making the same thing from a different rock. >> reporter: they are called calcium silicate rocks and don't contain any planet warming co2. is there enough of your rock to go around to change this whole industry? >> it's about 200 times more abundant than limestone, so it is basically half of the rocks on the surface of the earth we could use. >> reporter: and thanks to big backers, including bill gates' breakthrough energy ventures and amazon's climate pledge, brimstone is attempting to rapidly scale up its innovation, claiming it will be cheaper and just as reliable as traditional cement. >> if you haven't yet built a building or a road or a bridge out of this, how do you know it's as reliable as limestone-based cement? >> because it is chemically and
3:47 am
physically identical. we're quite confident the chemistry works and we can make the same material. >> reporter: and if he can convince the global construction industry -- >> this is cement, ask there's no co2 in this? >> right. >> reporter: -- it could become the building block of a cleaner future. i'm bren tracy in oakland, california. hydroelectric plants have long been used to generate power, but the plants themselves and the giant dams attached to them can be unsightly and affect the local wildlife. one town in scotland got around all that by building their plant into the side of a mountain. roxana saberi paid a visit. >> reporter: beside the clear waters of a scottish lake known as loch ah soars a mountain rising to over 3,500 feet, masking a marvel of engineering. it does look very james bond-ish. we traveled through a tunnel over a half a mile long to emerge in a turbineallzing w
3:48 am
inery,s is the heart of a hydroelectric plant that engineer ian kin ard says points to the future of renewable energy. >> 8.3 gigawatts of storage energy is a maximum. to put that in context, that's probably the equivalent of tesla model 3s. that's how much energy we store. >> who calculated that? >> reporter: that energy comes from water. 1,300 feet up the mountain. can you explain where we are up here? >> absolutely. so in front of you, you have the reservoir, which is held back by the dam. >> reporter: sarah cameron, who manages a nearby visitors center, says the reservoir fills up with rain and water pumped up from loch ah. when the water is released from the reservoir, it flows down to the power plant and through the force of gravity, turns its turbines. >> so it's a cycle.
3:49 am
>> absolutely. >> reporter: when demand for within 30 seconds, they can provide enough elect to power 800,000 homes. compare that to coal-fired plants, which can take hours to sp hydropower supplies around 17% of electricity, though it makes up much less in the uk and the u.s. some environmentalists say it's needed to help the world transition to renewable energy. but they addams can disrupt wildlife. the team says it's tried to minimize any impact by blending into the landscape as much as possible and by using screens to prevent marine life from being sucked from the reservoir. >> how will it mead tate royal naurgs? a pull of the lever and the great machines were turning, generating power for the industrial lowlands. >> reporter: a celebrated feat of construction that started in 1959, it took around 4,000
3:50 am
workers six years to build crew aken. >> you can still see some of the boreholes from where they drilled and bhafted. >> reporter: next year, the british come drax hopes to begin excavating an estimated 2 million mortons of rock to expand the plant. >> it's a testament to those that built it back in the late 1950s and early 60s. 60 years later, we're still operating this plant, and it's more needed than ever before. >> reporter: they say to help scotland wean itself off of fossil fuels, they're ready to move mountains again. roxana saberi, argyle, scotland. >> the "cbs overnight news" will be right back. did you know, some ordinary cold medicines can raise your blood pressure? try new vicks nyquil high blood pressure for fast, powerful cold relief without ingredients that may raise your blood pressure. try vicks nyquil high blood pressure. the coughing, aching, fever, cold and flu, for people with high blood pressure, medicine. if you think all pads are exactly the same...
