coast guard.ciy theye alre searched an area about 7,600 square miles with no sign of the vessel. cbs's roxana saberi will start us off tonight from boston. good evening, roxana. >> reporter: good evening, jericka. tonight the u.s. navy is bringing in special equipment to retrieve heavy objects from deep under the ocean in the event they're able to locate the missing submersible. but hope for finding survivors is fading. search crews are frantically scouring an area larger than the state of connecticut. but so far, there's no sign of the missing vessel, the titan, and its five passengers. >> what are the biggest challenges you're facing? >> you're dealing with a surface search and a subsurface search, and frankly that makes an incredibly complex operation. >> reporter: but time is dwindling fast because they're running out of oxygen. >> we know at this point we're approximately about 40, 41 hours. o years, the u.s.-based company

oceangate expeditions has used the submersible to take tourists to the famous "titanic" shipwreck, charging $250,000 per person. at nearly 2 1/2 miles below the ocean's surface, the "titanic" is located at roughly twice the depth of the grand canyon. finding the titan won't be easy at those depths, even if it's floating on the surface. rescuers are now gaming out different scenarios in the event they find it. among the five missing passengers, hamish harding, a british billionaire who flew into space on jeff bezos' blue origin rocket last year. pakistani businessman shahzada dawood and his 19-year-old son, suleman. and paul-henri nargeolet, a former diver with the french navy and a seasoned "titanic" researcher. oceangate's ceo, stockton rush, is also on the vessel. >> we run the whole thing with this game controller. >> reporter: last year, oceangate hosted "cbs sunday morning" correspondent david

income taxes and to admit to the illegal possession of a handgun. cbs's catherine herridge reports on the details of the agreement and reaction from the president. >> reporter: as part of the hunter biden plea agreement, three charges were filed in a delaware court. two misdemeanor counts of willful failure to pay federal income tax on annual earnings in excess of $1.5 million. a third count, possession of a handgun by a drug user, would be dismissed if biden remains drug-free and commits no additional crimes during a specified time period. a source familiar with the terms said biden's legal team expects probation, not jail time, though final approval rests with the judge. >> i think the judge is going to do what's fair, and i think what's fair is, you know, my client gets on with his life. >> reporter: david weiss, the u.s. attorney in delaware who led the probe, was appointed by then-president trump and left in place by the biden administration. in a statement, weiss said the investigation is ongoing, but

hunter biden's team sees it differently. >> my understanding is that we're done. >> reporter: traveling in california, president biden was asked about the news. >> i'm very proud of my son. >> reporter: hunter biden spoke about the federal investigation on "cbs sunday morning." >> i'm cooperating completely, and i'm absolutely certain, 100% certain, that at the end of the investigation, that i will be cleared. >> reporter: while democrats hailed the agreement as a sign of the justice department's independence, republicans cried foul. former president donald trump, arraigned on criminal charges last week, said hunter biden was given a mere traffic ticket. >> you think this is an example >> you think this is another example of a two-tier system of justice in america? >> reporter: republican congressman james comer leads the house oversight committee, which is investigating the biden family's foreign business dealings, a probe disputed by the white house. >> will you call the u.s. attorney in delaware to testify? >> i would expect the u.s. attorney to testify in front of

the house of representatives very soon. he needs to explain whether or not his investigation is concluded. >> reporter: gene rossi, a former justice department official who handled tax cases, told cbs news the failure to pay tax on more than $3 million, even though now repaid, is a serious violation. >> if this were hunter smith instead of hunter biden, i think you would have a very much more aggressive prosecution. >> reporter: the delaware court has not set a date for hunter biden's surrender, but a source familiar with the deal told cbs news it could happen in a matter of days. hunter biden, himself, has not commented. jericka. >> catherine herridge, thank you. well, tonight, several thousands of homes and businesses are still without power in parts of the south. this comes as a dangerous heat wave is breaking records across the region. cbs's omar villafranca reports on the turbulent weather that has fueled several tornadoes and caused widespread damage.

fighting as russia steers more troops to the area according to western officials. >> how do you prepare your men to go on the offensive? "it's a difficult process," this commander tells me" first we work out an operational plan. then we prepare our fighters menltly." casualties in the recent fighting have been heavy on both sides. "losses are the most difficult part of the offensive," he says. they unsettle the fight ersds, but i tell them to keep moving forward. but they don't see their sacrifice in vain. >> do you feel like you can win? >> of course. since the start of the war, i knew that we win. >> reporter: winning by helping to lead the charge to take back ukraine. yesterday, ukraine's commander in chief, general va lairry za lugeny gave an update to the counteroffensive, saying

operations are going according to plan. >> that was ian lee in ukraine. here in the u.s., president biden's infrastructure law includes $7.5 billion to build a network of electric vehicle charging stations from coast to coast. those chargers can't come soon enough for the many ev drivers and potential drivers afraid their batteries may run out. kris van cleave reports. >> reporter: in the year since chris ashley from frederick, maryland, first plugged into his new electric ford f-150, his fears of running out of juice disappeared. >> it's foolish to think you won't have range anxiety in the beginning. however, the more you drive the vehicle, the more you start to learn how to plan your trips and how to charge and when to charge. >> reporter: two-thirds of drivers worried about not having enough range prior to their vehicle purchase. but after owning an ev, that dropped to 30% according to a recent canadian survey. one reason, better battery technology coupled with more vehicle options. this lucid sedan claims over 500

miles per charge, but it's nearly $140,000 price tag is a budget buster. the university of delaware found 1 in 4 could do all their driving in an ev with a range of just 143 miles with the help of a home charger. >> on average, evs are getting around 250 or even up to 300 miles of range. that is a totally appropriate amount for the amount of driving most people do. >> reporter: alex nicek from our partners at consumer reports. >> as far as range anxiety goes, we're really starting to see charging anxiety be the more prominent issue. chargers are less available than gas stations. >> reporter: are nearly 54,000 stations nationwide. majority are along the coasts and several states have fewer than 100. those chargers are vital for longer drives, providing an 80% charge in as little as 20 minutes, but the average fuel stop is closer to two minutes. donna dixon says that has to change. >> it comes down to how quick

exceed 115 degrees. >> the heat is going to be just intense. we're at the delta diaper bank, which is helping moms in need in the region. a year after roe v. wade was overturned, they're seeing an increase in demand for supplies. >> a lot of families have signed up for more diapers. usually kids can't wait to get the cast off their arm. but 5-year-old beau stadel isn't so sure. >> it does look cool. >> dr. fishman and her team draw custom designs. the characters of all kinds come to life within ten minutes. >> it reminds you that little things are meaningful. >> announcer: this is the "cbs overnight news." i'm jericka duncan in for norah. we begin with a race against the clock to find that submersible vessel that disappeared in the

north atlantic ocean on sunday. it was headed to the sunken wreckage of the "titanic." experts say if the five people on board are still alive, they will run out of oxygen by thursday morning. the explorers were heading to the site of the "titanic's" final resting place. it's located about 900 miles off cape cod and more than 12,000 feet below the surface. an international rescue effort is now under way, including help from the u.s. navy, the u.s. coast guard, and the canadian coast guard. officials say they've already searched an area about 7,600 square miles with no sign of the vessel. cb's roxana saberi will start us off tonight from boston. good evening, roxana. >> reporter: good evening, jericka. tonight the u.s. navy is bringing in special equipment to retrieve heavy objects from deep under the ocean in the event they're able to locate the missing submersible. but hope for finding survivors is fading. search crews are frantically scouring an area larger than the state of connecticut.

but so far, there's no sign of the missing vessel, the titan, and its five passengers. >> what are the biggest challenges you're facing? >> you're dealing with a surface and frankly that makes it an incredibly complex operation. >> reporter: but time is dwindling fast because they're running out of oxygen. >> we know at this point we're approximately about 40, 41 hours. >> there's no other trip like this. >> reporter: for the past two years, the u.s.-based company oceangate expeditions has used the submersible to take tourists to the famous "titanic" shipwreck, charging $250,000 per person. at nearly 2 1/2 miles below the ocean's surface, the "titanic" is located at roughly twice the depth of the grand canyon. finding the titan won't be easy at those depths, even if it's floating on the surface. rescuers are now gaming out different scenarios in the event they find it. among the five missing passengers, hamish harding, a

british billionaire who flew into space on jeff bezos' blue origin rocket last year. pakistani british businessman shahzada dawood and his 19-year-old son, suleman. and paul-henri nargeolet, a former diver with the french navy and a seasoned "titanic" researcher. oceangate's ceo, stockton rush, is also on the vessel. >> we run the whole thing with this game controller. >> reporter: last year, oceangate hosted "cbs sunday morning" correspondent david pogue on an expedition to the "titanic." but just minutes into his dive, something went wrong. >> apparently those floats there came off the platform. >> so we're scrubbing? >> yeah, i think that's the consensus up here. >> reporter: the weight of the situation is bearing down on friends and family. jannicke mikkelsen spoke with her friend hamish harding the day before he left. >> it's not good. it really isn't good. it will be a miracle if the crew returns alive. >> reporter: and we're learning new information tonight about oceangate expeditions.

a source familiar with the terms said biden's legal team expects probation, not jail time, though final approval rests with the judge. >> i think the judge is going to do what's fair, and i think what's fair is, you know, my client gets on with his life. >> reporter: david weiss, the u.s. attorney in delaware who led the probe, was appointed by then-president trump and left in place by the biden administration. in a statement, weiss said the investigation is ongoing, but hunter biden's team sees it differently. >> my understanding is that we're done. >> reporter: traveling in california, president biden was asked about the news. >> i'm very proud of my son. >> reporter: hunter biden spoke about the federal investigation on "cbs sunday morning." >> i'm cooperating completely, and i'm absolutely certain, 100% certain, that at the end of the investigation, that i will be cleared. >> reporter: while democrats hailed the agreement as a sign of the justice department's independence, republicans cried foul. former president donald trump,

arraigned on criminal charges last week, said hunter biden was given a mere traffic ticket. >> you think this is another example of a two-tier system of justice in america? >> reporter: republican congressman james comer leads the house oversight committee, which is investigating the biden family's foreign business dealings, a probe disputed by the white house. >> will you call the u.s. attorney in delaware to testify? >> i would expect the u.s. attorney to testify in front of the house of representatives very soon. he needs to explain whether or not his investigation is concluded. >> reporter: gene rossi, a former justice department official who handled tax cases, told cbs news the failure to pay tax on more than $3 million, even though now repaid, is a serious violation. >> if this were hunter smith instead of hunter biden, i think you would have a very much more aggressive prosecution. >> reporter: the delaware court has not set a date for hunter biden's surrender, but a source

familiar with the deal told cbs news it could happen in a matter of days. hunter biden, himself, has not commented. jericka. >> catherine herridge, thank you.

>> announcer: this is the "cbs overnight news." tonight a tentative trial date has been set in the case against donald trump and his alleged mishandling of classified documents. federal judge aileen cannon ordered the trial to begin on august 14th. the former president faces 37 criminal counts, including the willful retention of national defense information, making false statements, and conspiracy to obstruct justice. well, tonight, several thousands of homes and businesses are still without power in parts of the south.

broke out just after midnight at this e-bike repair shoow manhattan. firefighters arrived within minutes, but that's all it took for the smoke and flames to kill four people living above the shop. just hours later, the fire commissioner left no doubt about what sparked it. >> it is very clear this was caused by lithium-ion batteries and e-bikes. there was a very large number of both batteries and e-bikes. this location is known to the fire department. we have written violations at this location before, and we have conducted enforcement in this location before. >> reporter: officials say so far this year, 108 fires in new york city and 13 deaths have been linked to lithium-ion battery explosions. back in april, two children were killed after an e-bike exploded. experts warn the resulting fires from lithium-ion batteries behave differently. they ignite quickly, burn hoer, and c b do ed benjamin founded the light
