news" from new york with adriana diaz. >> good evening, we begin tonight with whiplash on the global stage. the world watched minute by minute as the wagner group, soldiers for hire fighting for putin in ukraine turned on russia's military. they started advancing into russia gaining ground toward mo moscow. yevgeny prigozhin, once a close friend of putin's, leading the charge. he was enraged by what he says were russian strikes on his troops in ukraine, but almost as suddenly as the advance started, the mercenaries began retreating. they backed down after a deal brokered by belarus. putin agreed to drop charges against prigozhin who left the russian city of rostov to cheers. the kremlin says he agreed to live in exile in belarus. ian lee has been following the stunning state your name of events from dnipro, ukraine, and
5:33 pm
joins us now. good evening. >> reporter: a tense calm grips moscow tonight, the crisis that threatened russian president vladimir putin's hold on power seems to be cooling off. wagner troops advanced within 150 miles of the capital when belarus announced it struck a deal between putin and wagner boss yevgeny prigozhin. prigozhin stated on social media his troops would turn around to avoid spilling russian blood ending a potential destable ieds -- destablingizing showdown. the spark of rebellion in russia began yesterday in ukraine. video posted by wagner showed the alleged aftermath of a deadly missile strike killing dozens of its troops. the mercenary group's leader blamed the russian military. despite their denial, a furious prigozhin vowed vengeance. this morning, wagner forces seized the russian city of rostov-on-don, home to the country's southern military command. a woman in the crowd asks if there's going to be a civil war. no, everything is fine replied
5:34 pm
this wagner fighter. prigozhin posted a video from the city threatening to march on moscow. the mutiny rattled putin, the russian president condemned prigozhin on state tv as a traitor who stabbed the country and its people in its back. videos posted on social media tracked wagner's progress toward the city along with the failed attempts by the russian military to stop the mercenary group. this video allegedly shows a russian helicopter attacking an oil storage facility along the way while heavy equipment ripped up the highway to the capital, but with wagner knocking on moscow's door, the deal will now see those troops return to their bases. tonight, adriana, we're getting reports that ukraine is taking advantage of the chaos by stepping up its counteroffensive in the south and east. >> ian, thank you. so who is the leader of the wagner group?
5:35 pm
cbs's ramy inocencio takes a look at his evolution into becoming a powerful mercenary leader. >> reporter: yevgeny prigozhin is a man unafraid of challenging russia's leaders, especially after being close comrades with a then fresh-faced president vladimir putin two decades ago. prigozhin had risen from criminal convict in the 1980s to hot dog seller in the 1990 s 0 well-connected kremlin caterer in the '90s, earning the nickname putin's chef, and even then serving prince charles and then president george bush. now at 62, prigozhin has turned into a lord of war. he is chief executive of the shadowy wagner mercenary group which he founded and financed in 2014 to help russia annex crimea. he said he commands as many as 50,000 soldiers for hire in the best of times, but these are not
5:36 pm
those times. the loss of many professional wagner soldiers in ukraine pushed prigozhin to recruit from russia's prison's inexperienced inmates, offering pardons if they survived six months. most have not. and prigozhin has revealed about 20,000 have died in the so-called meat grinder of bakhmut. in nearly 11 months, the war's longest, bloodiest battle. he pulled out in may and lashed out at russia's military leaders for failing to supply enough ammunition pointing to what he says are wagner corpses in the dark. prigozhin remains the biggest threat to putin since he became president in 2000 when the two weren't just business partners, but also close friends. ramy inocencio, cbs news, london. today when president biden left for camp david, he took his national security adviser with him. cbs's christina ruffini joins us now from the white house. christina, what does this all mean for american interests in
5:37 pm
russia, ukraine, and around the world? >> reporter: good evening, adriana, although president biden might not be a huge fan of president putin, in fact in poland last year while meeting with refugees, biden infamously said this guy cannot remain in power, an off the cuff comment that senior officials quickly walked back, but the official u.s. position is that they do not support regime change in russia. that's up to the russian people. the spoken goal of this administration previously had been to put guard rails on that relationship with russia. as one former senior official told me earlier today, the so-called special military operation in ukraine drove a heavy armored tank right through those guardrails. and at the moment, they're virtually nonexistent. now, power struggles in russia could, of course, create opportunity for the ukrainian military to seize territory in that planned spring offensive, but the truth of the matter is, chaos in the kremlin on the whole is not good news for the u.s. or the world, and that's because of russia's massive nuclear power arsenal. the loss of command and control
5:38 pm
of those nuclear weapons is a major security concern of officials here in the u.s., in europe, and around the world. adriana. >> great context, thank you. it's been one year since the supreme court issued its dobbs decision overturning the constitutional right to an abortion. in d.c., some rally to mark today as a day of action saying we will not go back. also in d.c., former vice president mike pence spoke at an event to commemorate the first ever celebrate life day. cbs's michael george joins us now with a look at the changes to the laws and to abortion access over the past year. michael. >> reporter: adriana, good evening. it's been 365 days, but the debate over abortion is far from over. today reproductive rights advocates are vowing to continue the fight while opponents are vowing to restrict abortion even further. >> abortion is health care! >> reporter: supporters of abortion rights aren't giving up, one year since the supreme
5:39 pm
court overturned roe v. wade. >> it never ends. you can fight down an abortion ban one year, and they'll bring it up the next year, so it's a constant battle. >> reporter: anti-abortion rights advocates celebrated the anniversary. >> for the first time in 50 years we have a path to make abortion illegal and unthinkable in pennsylvania. >> reporter: today access to abortion depends on where you live. 26 states have banned or limited access to abortions since the dobbs decision. 16 have strengthened the right to an abortion. eight have a mix of restrictions and protections. dr. kiley cooper moved out of idaho. she says she can't provide adequate care for women under restrictive abortion laws. >> it was just -- it was too much, and it was too risky, and so we made the decision to leave. >> reporter: a cbs news poll found 57% of americans view overturning roe v. wade as bad for the country. friday president biden signed an executive order expanding access to all contraceptives approved
5:40 pm
by the fda, including those that induce abortions. democrats are hoping to rally voters around the issue. >> the united states congress must put back in place what the supreme court took away. [ applause ] >> reporter: meanwhile, former vice president and republican presidential candidate mike pence is campaigning for a 15-week federal abortion ban. today he called on his gop rivals to do the same. >> we will never rest and never relent until we restore the sanctity of life to the center of american law in every state in the land. so help me god. >> reporter: so right now the abortion debate is primarily being fought in legislatures in states and in the courts, but there's no question this is going to be a key campaign issue in the fall and in 2024. adriana. >> michael george, thank you. there is cleanup today after tornados touched down in parts of the midwest and mountain west. check out this video from idaho where a twister tore through farms. in northeast wyoming, at least
5:41 pm
eight people were treated for minor injuries when a tornado hit a mine. and today in texas, thousands of people are without power due to extreme heat. temperatures hitting all-time records. let's check in now with paul goodloe with our partners at the weather channel for a look at the forecast. >> adriana, the same stories we've been dealing with the last couple of days and today also continue for tomorrow. it's the heat and also the storms. storms right now will keep going overnight and into the early morning hours of your sunday. then fire back up tomorrow afternoon. this is our forecast radar look, starting early morning, pre-dawn today from the storms from tonight still rolling across the mississippi river valley into the ohio valley and then pushing south where they wind down, but then by tomorrow afternoon, boom, we explode more storms again. damaging wind, hail, and even the risk for tornados. a lot more people dealing with the damaging wind, plenty of lightning out there as well. we could use some rain in texas, tomorrow air temperatures back at and above 100 degrees.
5:42 pm

5:44 pm
♪ >> impossible to let go of the son, a beloved university of chicago student who was so full of promise. >> he was very kind. he had a soft look to him. and he was fun. >> reporter: the tributes to the 98 lost are happening amidst the backdrop of a federal investigation into what caused the building to collapse on june 24th, 2021. earlier this month, investigators released preliminary findings pointing to flaws in the building's design and construction, specifically a pool deck that seemed unable to withstand its own weight. alan kilseimer is an independent investigator. >> and the question would be is it a column that supported the pool deck or is it the pool deck itself? right? those are two different things. >> reporter: last year survivors and victims' families reached a nearly $1 billion settlement in a class action lawsuit, and the much debated future of the collapse site is now settled.
