they each face decades in prison. the convictions are seen as a major victory for the department of justice as part of the largest criminal investigation in american history. cbs's scott macfarlane is with us here in washington and is going to start us off tonight from outside the federal court. good evening, scott. >> reporter: norah, this was the longest and largest trial to emerge from january 6th. for four months, prosecutors put members of the far-right proud boys front and center that day, saying they did so in defense of a president they wanted to keep in office, even if it meant violence. it was one of the darkest days in american history, and federal prosecutors cast the five proud boys as leaders of the mob responsible for assembling a fighting force of 100 members that considered themselves donald trump's army. >> and we fight. we fight like hell. >> reporter: marching straight to the capitol that morning as then-president trump was speaking, some of them the first

acres of land, turning them into ghost forests. nancy chen takes us inside. >> reporter: as the sun rises over maryland's chesapeake bay, a new chapter of the climate change story is unfolding. >> so this is the start of a ghost forest? >> that's right. this is the early beginnings of a ghost forest. this forest is effectively dead already. the trees just don't know it yet. >> reporter: scientists like matthew kerwin say ghost forests are the haunting result of rising sea levels. since the late 19th century, at least 100,000 acres of forest here have transformed into a growing cemetery of trees. >> what creates a ghost forest? how is a ghost forest formed? >> sea level rise and coastal flooding bring in salt. it accumulates in the soil, eventually builds up to levels that the trees can't survive. at that point, the trees start dying, and eventually there's no new trees to replace them. so when they die, the only thing that's left is the marsh around

it. >> how quickly does this happen? >> it can be slow. if you're looking at it from year to year. but then a couple years goes by, and you realize that whole stand of trees is no longer there. >> reporter: the dying trees represent a personal loss for kerwin, whose family has lived along maryland's eastern shore for ten generations. they've seen communities disappear as land is lost. >> it must be emotional to see all of this. >> it is, and as a scientist, i think the sense of inevitability is a little stronger for me. everybody thinks of sea level rise in terms of flooded city streets and subways and catastrophic hurricanes like katrina. but really the impacts of sea level rise in most places are far more subtle. >> reporter: subtle steps that eventually lead to this. >> this effectively is the final stage of the ghost forest. where we are now, this is forest land maybe 70 years ago, and now if you look around, it's a real

marsh. >> reporter: it's a problem coastlines are facing across the country, but nowhere as dramatically as the hot spot between north carolina and massachusetts. that's where sea level is rising three times faster than global rates. the chesapeake bay is especially vulnerable to ghost forests because of how flat this land is. the forest here is retreating at a rate of 15 feet a year, and that's accelerating. >> the ghost forests are the most striking indicator of climate change we have anywhere o the east coast. we're used to seeing pictures of glaciers that have melted and retreated back miles. it's the same thing here. we have the remains of trees that mark where dry, usable land was just a couple generations ago. >> is there anything anyone can do to bring it back? >> that's something i struggle with. i'm supposed to try to think of solutions for these lems and, you know, i can't come up with any solutions for saving hundreds of thousands of acres

of forest. and so where i come down is to try to ensure that if we're going to lose all that forest, that we at least get something in return, and that's the marshes. >> reporter: through field work, kerwin and a team of researchers are salvaging what's left behind and nurturing the marshes they've become. marshes are just famous ecologically important ecosystems. they rival the tropical rain forest. they sequester carbon. they improve water quality. so the loss of the trees is inevitable, but whether we get marshes to take their place and what kind of marshes, that's not inevitable. >> reporter: farther north, a similar mission is under way to address the rapid rise of ghost forests in new jersey. >> we knew this was a problem for a while, but it really became visible in recent years. we're coming up against places where people well ts iti lu?

[ bells tolling ]

ring for the king is a nationwide quest to have every bell in every church ringing for king charles iii on his coronation day. at chal font saint giles parish church outside london, it means having a band of eight each pulling a rope to ring a single massive bell. a form of ringing that dates back to the 1500s and the reign of elizabeth i. >> i started when i was 15. >> wow, that's a lot of practice. >> reporter: here, bell tower captain john davage leads the way. >> what do you think of this ring for the king effort? >> what do i think? i think it's a privilege. absolutely. >> it's shining light on something you've been doing for 70 years. >> yeah, i don't think of it that way because i only think about that we've got to do our very best bit. it's only going to happen once. >> reporter: but bell-ringing is not as popular as it once was. >> a sign of the times -- >> reporter: so the central

council of church bell ringers -- yes, there is such a thing -- launched ring for the king last fall to recruit tens of thousands of volunteer bell ringers. cheryl sprigs answered the call. >> i've always loved the sound of church bells. it's a quintessential sound of the english countryside and the towns, and then they put out this appeal, and i literally just checked on the internet when the bell practice was, and i gave john a ring, and he asked me to come along. >> gave him a ring? >> yeah. of course, yeah. >> reporter: sprigg started learning what's called change ringing in which multiple bells are rung in specific sequences. >> i thought they just played tunes, but you're playing mathematical permutations. >> reporter: this is why it's no small task to train thousands of new bell ringers. >> as a pupil, john is really good at explaining what you

should be doing. he's very clear with his instructions. >> reporter: yes, seth does know all about that. >> let that one relax. relax. but relax. you're stiff. relax. >> ready? >> yep. >> reporter: let's just say not everyone is a natural. the future king has demonstrated a royal ease with ringing in the past, but he has history -- >> and the bells added their peale to the general rejoicing. >> reporter: bells sounded for him when he was worn in 1948 as they have to mark weddings, funerals, and other important events, including britain's last coronation. >> i absolutely love being a part of this british tradition. >> reporter: at saint leonard's church in london, we met american hannah richman, who started bell-ringing when she

studied abroad in scotland. >> is there a religious component in this for you? >> for me, no. and i think that that's one of the best parts of it. you can be muslim, jewish, christian, agnostic, atheist, and come ring. >> reporter: richmond says she finds the whole thing surprisingly meditative. considering her instrument is a 1,000-pound piece of bronze swinging overhead. >> ringing a combination of looking at everybody around you, knowing the pattern, and also hearing, listening to the bells when they go and knowing the tunes. >> there's more to it than you'd think? >> yes. there's a lot going on in the minds of bell ringers. >> reporter: this coming saturday, she'll also have the new king on her mind, proud to play a small role in history. >> it was a really great opportunity last summer to be able to ring for the platinum jubilee, and i also rang in

going to start us off tonight from outside the federal court. good evening, scott. >> reporter: norah, this was the longest and largest trial to emerge from january 6th. for four months, prosecutors put members of the far-right proud boys front and center that day, saying they did so in defense of a president they wanted to keep in office, even if it meant violence. it was one of the darkest days in american history, and federal prosecutors cast the five proud boys as leaders of the mob responsible for assembling a fighting force of 100 members that considered themselves donald trump's army. >> and we fight. we fight like hell. >> reporter: marching straight to the capitol that morning as then-president trump was speaking, some of them the first to break through police barricades. >> january 6th will be a day in infamy. >> reporter: the jury convicted four of the five, including former onetime leader enrique tarrio, of seditious conspiracy, plotting to overthrow the government, and several other

charges. the fifth, dominic pezzola, who used a police riot shield to smash a capitol window and lead rioters inside, was convicted of obstructing an official proceeding. >> i promised that the justice department would do everything in its power to hold accountable those responsible for the heinous attack. >> reporter: tarrio, a onetime aid to trump ally roger stone, was found guilty even though he wasn't even in washington on the 6th, directing his colleagues remotely from a baltimore hotel. that night he messaged them "make no mistake. we did this." legal experts say tarrio's conviction in particular will impact special counsel jack smith's probe into donald trump. >> it also will serve to empower the special counsel as he further investigates and potentially indicts others who may be responsible for the other schemes to overthrow the peaceful transfer of power in the 2020 presidential election.

>> reporter: during the trial, prosecutors linked the proud boys to former president trump, playing this clip from a 2020 presidential debate. >> proud boys, stand back and stand by. >> that moment changed my life forever >> reporter: proud boy jeremy bertino became a star witness for the prosecutors, testifying the group wanted an all-out revolution and to stop the transfer of power. >> i think these guys got what they deserved. you lead an attempted coup, and you go to jail. >> reporter: on the seditious conspiracy charge alone, the four proud boys face a maximum 20 years in prison. and, norah, so far the department of justice has secured a partial or full conviction in every january 6th trial to go to a jury. >> that is quite a record. scott macfarlane, thank you. now to some more breaking news. authorities in northern california say they have arrested a suspected serial killer after three stabbings over the last week near the university of california-davis. 21-year-old carlos dominguez, a former uc davis student, is

in the shooting here was expected to appear in court this morning. however, he waived his right to appear. still, he is being held without bail. norah. >> jeff pegues, thank you.

>> it's obviously cool to have anyone play music in front of you live. we ultimately came to what we thought was the right interpretation of the law that we were given. >> reporter: marvin gaye's heirs were not part of this case. >> i'm just a guy with a guitar who loves writing music for people to enjoy. i am not and will never allow myself to be a piggy bank for anyone to shake. >> reporter: the other side had little to say after the verdict. even though sheeran won in court, he still seemed clearly frustrated. onerl o miss his grandther's l toe here. norah. >> that's awful. meg oliver, thank you. russ attempt on vladimir putin. the biden administration calls russia's new claim ludicrous. the national security council spokesman john kirby says the kremlin is lying. there are questions from the united states on if there even was an attack with russia's president as the target. ukraine says russia staged the whole thing. oernight, several ukrainian
