"i'm in favor of the reform," this man says, "because i want equality for people like me and not have arrogant people above us." if passed, the judicial reforms would allow a simple majority of lawmakers to override almost any supreme court ruling and let politicians appoint justices, something that would devastate israel's democracy, says opponents. the 12 weeks of unprecedented mass unrest escalated on sunday night after netanyahu fired the defense minister, a move which saw the long-simmering divisions in israeli society erupt even further, including outside netanyahu's own residence. protesters are largely divided

>> announcer: this is the "cbs overnight news." i'm erica brown in washington. thanks for staying with us. nato is condemning russian president vladimir putin for threatening to station battlefield nuclear weapons on the territory of his ally, belarus. putin used belarus as a launchpad for his invasion of ukraine last year, and ukraine's military says the country has now become a nuclear hostage of moscow. ramy inocencio reports from ukraine. >> reporter: bakhmut blasted by

russia beyond recognition. the situation after russia's eight-month assault finally stabilizing, says ukraine's top army commander. now as the west deploys more weapons to ukraine, russian president vladimir putin is raising the stakes himself. , saying he will deploy tactical nuclear weapons to belarus with ten belarusian fire jets already retrofitted and arguing he's doing what the u.s. has been doing for years by stationing its nuclear weapons in westernm. the white house reacted cautiously. >> we've, in fact, seen no indication that he has any intention to use nuclear weapons, period, inside ukraine. nothing that would cause us to change our oun strategic deterrent posture. >> reporter: a top ukraine official says the kremlin has taken belarus as a nuclear hostage. nate tow criticized putin's rhetoric as dangerous and irresponsible. and ratcheting tensions higher, in russia an explosion about 100 miles south of moscow on sunday. the kremlin claiming it downed a ukrainian drone, injuring three

day, but i don't know how it's going to happen or when. >> reporter: erin hanley decided to freeze her eggs in the fall of 2020. she was 33 years old. >> i always wanted to have options so that i could make a choice later. i am really excited to have this be over. >> reporter: hanley took us on her journey with her. >> what if i'm doing it wrong? i'm not, but like what if i was? >> reporter: through videos she recorded during the process. >> it's a huge needle. >> reporter: egg freezing involves about two weeks of hormone shots to stimulate the follicles in a woman's ovaries. each follicle typically releases one egg. the shots are usually done at home. >> that first night you come home. you have to give yourself shots. how are you feeling? >> very nervous. you kind of mix your own solutions too in your shots, and so i laid them all out, had them on my counter. and then i had a friend here, and i was like, why don't you

film me? >> one, two -- >> all the way. push it, push it, push it, push it. >> heading in to my appointment on friday. >> reporter: throughout, hanley went to the doctor for bloodwork and ultrasounds to monitor her progress. >> i've gotten bigger since yesterday. >> you have. so this one is about 18.5 millimeters, so you've still got some time. >> yeah. >> you're feeling okay? >> the first couple days i felt fine. i was getting really tired by day four probably. and then -- and then also really bloated. you get very bloated. >> it's like this weird belly. >> reporter: once the eggs are big enough, a procedure is done to retrieve them. typically around 80% of the eggs are mature enough to be frozen. >> they retrieved 20, and then they ended up freezing 14. >> reporter: the eggs can later be thawed and fertilized in an effort to make embryos. on average, only 30% become

viable embryos, but not all lead to pregnancy. >> whenever you're freezing eggs, you always have to remember that 14 eggs will not equate to 14 babies. >> reporter: dr. rachel mcconnell is a reproductive endocrinologist at columbia fertility center in new york city. she's not hanley's doctor but was given permission to review her medical records. >> with her being 33 years of age and freezing at least 14 eggs that are mature, she has probably about an 80% chance of at least having one live birth from that group of eggs. >> reporter: for women of all ages, the live birth efficiency from frozen eggs is 4%. in general, this means 25 frozen eggs will yield 1 live birth. that's according to an nyu study published last year. dr. mcconnell says women should start thinking about their reproductive health at an early age, and doctors should start educating patients at age 25.

>> there are techniques, and there are tests that they can even do to be able to have some idea what their egg reserve is like. >> did your obgyn ever talk to you about the option of egg freezing or about family planning at all? >> no, actually. it's always been interesting to me that they don't talk to you about it. in fact, they send you to a specialist. >> did you have any reservations about the process? >> oh, yes. i think there's a lot of reservations about it. first, the cost. it's a lot, especially if you don't have insurance to pay for things. >> reporter: egg freezing can cost anywhere from $5,000 to $10,000 a cycle. but despite the high cost, more women are choosing to make this expensive and at times very uncomfortable investment. in 2020, more than 12,000 women froze their eggs, nearly double from 2016. >> how much hope were you given that freezing your eggs would ihi w-asdese it's ing a baby? better than not having it at

all. i do think you don't know until you go in there either how your eggs are going to be. are they viable? i don't know. so that was a concern for me, that i would actually go through this whole thing and then nothing happened after. >> that was nikki battiste reporting. you're watching the "cbs overnight news." ♪♪ let's go dove. ♪♪ it dries instantly. hmm, and it's dry already! see anything? i don't. new dove ultimate dry spray with 72 hour protection. 72 hour protection, they weren't joking. no more stick deodorant. dove ultimate dry spray is for me. uuuuh upgrade to new dove ultimate dry spray. 8 out of 10 women say they'd switch.

"i'm in favor of the reform," this man says, "because i want equality for people like me and not have arrogant people above us."

if passed, the judicial reforms would allow a simple majority of lawmakers to override almost any supreme court ruling and let politicians appoint justices, something that would devastate israel's democracy, says opponents. the 12 weeks of unprecedented mass unrest escalated on sunday night after netanyahu fired the defense minister, a move which saw the long-simmering divisions in israeli society erupt even further, including outside netanyahu's own residence. protesters are largely divided into two groups, those who want a more secular and pluralist state and those who want a more religious and nationalist country. also sparking serious concerns are the growing number of army reservists vowing to strike if the reforms go ahead, with military leaders warning their operational readiness could seriously be impacted. now, the biden administration is welcoming this pause in the judicial overhaul.

but senior figures within the netanyahu government are vowing it will pass. norah. >> imtiaz tyab, thank you. the "cbs overnight news" will be righ

this afternoon's star witness was the former publisher of the "national enquirer," david pecker. it's all related to the hush money payments made to former porn star stormy daniels. cbs's robert costa is outside the courthouse in new york city. >> reporter: sources close to the investigation tell cbs news that david pecker's appearance today is a sign district attorney alvin bragg might be finalizing a case against former president donald trump. in 2016, it was pecker who encouraged efforts by then-candidate trump and michael cohen to prevent damaging stories about trump from being published. pecker's top editor at the "national enquirer" deliberated with cohen about making payments to stormy daniels to keep her alleged encounter with trump out of the headlines. soon after, cohen paid daniels $130,000 in hush money, later reimbursed by trump. >> pecker has already testified, so that means that his return trip is really just to underscore a point he's already made. and unless there's another pecker in the wings, that means

that what happens now is that the d.a. or the assistant d.a. asks for a vote on the indictment. >> reporter: security has been increased outside and inside manhattan criminal court following a death threat delivered to bragg last week and at least two bomb threats. >> when they go after me, they're going after you. >> reporter: trump continued his attacks on bragg and the investigation at a campaign rally in waco, texas, saturday. >> prosecutorial misconduct is their new tool, and they are willing to use it at levels never seen before in our country. >> reporter: on sunday, over 150 former federal prosecutors signed a letter condemning trump's rhetoric, saying they denounce efforts to intimidate the manhattan district attorney. but such calls haven't stopped trump's allies in congress, who have been demanding information related to bragg's probe. >> this is about politics. this is a presidential candidate. when you look at what we believe the role of the manhattan d.a. should be is to fight crime.

>> reporter: a trump lawyer tells cbs news that the district attorney has not reached out, a possible indication that no indictment was made today and that the investigation carries on. norah. >> robert costa with all that new reporting, thank you. tonight, residents of a major american city are concerned about clean drinking water. philadelphia's mayor tonight is reassuring citizens that their tap water is safe to drink. this happened after a massive chemical spill threatened the city's water supply over the weekend. the philadelphia water department said there is no sign of any contamination, and they promise to monitor the situation and notify the public if anything changes. today pennsylvania's governor ordered flags to be flown at half-staff in honor of seven people who were killed in friday's explosion and fire at a candy factory in west reading. investigators are on the scene at the r.m. palmer company to determine the cause of the explosion. at least ten people were treated and released at the local hospital while two others were .

woman recanting the allegations, end quote, after what they describe as an emotional crisis. >> if the defense is able to put evidence forward which would lead prosecutors to believe there's no way we can prove these charges beyond a reasonable doubt, then the prosecutors have to drop. they have an ethical duty that they can't move forward. >> and the army made history -- >> reporter: in the meantime, the u.s. army says it's pausing two new ads for its recruitment campaign that feature majors. >> none of the studios are saying that they're backing away from jonathan at this point. >> reporter: variety's senior editor mark mall ken, says hollywood, on the other hand, is waiting for the legal process to play out. >> just days before the arrest, searchlight pictures announced that his new movie, magazine dreams, which appeared at sundance to critical acclaim, is going to be released december 8th. >> reporter: now, the manhattan district attorney's office tells cbs news this investigation is ongoing but provided no additional comment. majors' next court appearance, norah, is monday, may 8th.
