officials, the last time that crane was inspected by the city was on june 15th. what we're seeing today is this new crane that was brought in by contractors to clear any debris. the department of building says that all structures are sound and that today there were inspectors braving a 550-foot climb to gather evidence at the site of that engine cab where the fire got started. j.b. >> liliana with the latest in new york city. tonight we're learning more about the health of senate minority leader mitch mcconnell. the 81-year-old republican insists he's fine after yesterday's alarming incident where he suddenly stopped speaking during a press conference. cbs's nikole killion reports it's not the first time he's stumbled. >> how are you doing today? >> reporter: senate minority leader mitch mcconnell started his day meeting with the italian prime minister and delivering remarks on the senate floor. his speech at times slightly slowed. >> well, he's right about that. >> reporter: he made no mention of wednesday's halting news

a tick bite that didn't show the most common symptom, a bull's-eye-like rash. >> you know, there's good hours and bad hours. it impacts all the things you take for granted that you do every day. >> reporter: other symptoms include headaches, fatigue, and muscle aches. >> every summer, we see an increase in tickborne diseases. >> dr. laurie handy says the number of ticks and tickborne infections nationwide is on the rise, likely due to climate change. >> ticks can survive in different areas because it's warmer, and that then can lead to more infections in humans. >> reporter: to prevent an infection, doctors recommend wearing long clothes and using bug spray with deet, changing and showering once home, checking your body in a full-length mirror, and throwing your clothes in the dryer. >> turn it on high, and if any ticks remain on the clothes, they'll just kill that after about ten minutes. >> reporter: if you do find a tick, you should grasp it with tweezers close to the skin and steadily pull it out. the majority of tickborne infections are easily treatable

with antibiotics. >> i realally, truly hope that can just help one other person, ten other people. this has really been quite an experience. >> reporter: meg oliver, cbs news. with the nation baking under a record heat wave, america's largest electrical grid operator issued a level 1 emergency alert this morning, warning of potential blackouts from d.c. to chicago. in tonight's "eye on america," cbs's carter evans takes a look at how solar farms could save the country's fragile energy grid. >> reporter: next to the rows of alfalfa, another type of farm is taking root in kern county, california, one that's harvesting clean, renewable energy. >> these panels track the sun all day. >> reporter: alina knapp is president and ceo of b.a.t. renewables, owner of solar star, one of the largest solar farms in the country with a peak output of 586 megawatts. >> how many homes can that

power? >> about 255,000 california homes. >> reporter: there are more than 5,000 solar farms across the u.s. producing about 3.5% of the nation's electricity and dozens of new facilities are being added every month. the increase in available solar energy is a much-needed boost for power grids currently strained by the summer's record-breaking heat, like a mirage in the desert, the 1.7 million panels that make up solar star cover more than five square miles of unused farmland. >> which is more difficult, acquiring the land or getting the transmission lines to transport the electricity? >> transmission hands down. and what could make things even more difficult is if your transmission corridor goes between states. >> reporter: lorelei oev yat, director of planning and natural resources for kern county says red tape and delays constructing power lines are holding back growth. >> when sacramento tells me they need 600,000 acres of solar, my

question to them is where is the transmission? the reason is because people don't like them. >> do people say, i don't want this stuff in my backyard? >> they do. >> reporter: another issue, too much solar power is wasted. >> does this farm sometimes generate more power than is demanded from it? >> yes, it does, mainly in the peak of the day. >> reporter: the most common method to store excess power right now is called pumped storage hydropower. it uses the extra electricity to pump water to an uphill reservoir. when the power is needed, the water is released back down through a generator. >> you want to be able to maximize the output and store the energy and then use it when you need it. >> reporter: knapp says recent advances in technology will soon connect more farms to giant rechargeable batteries that will enable the use of solar power long after the sun goes down. for "eye on america," i'm carter evans in rose amond, california. there's an update tonight on bronny james from his father, lebron james, and the hospital

i'm james brown in for norah. we begin tonight with breaking news in the investigation of former president donald trump's alleged mishandling of classified documents after leaving office. the former president is facing new charges, including allegations of obstruction of justice and the willful retention of national defense information. this brings the total number of charges to 40 in the first ever federal indictment of a former president. plus, a third defendant has been named in the case. he's being described as a mar-a-lago employee who helped move some of the boxes containing classified material. cbs's robert costa has been following these late-breaking details, and he joins me here. good evening, robert. >> good evening, j.b. a flurry of sudden developments tonight at the justice department. just in the last hour, a third person named as a defendant in that mar-a-lago document case.

carlos de oliveira, a worker at the property, was accused of atempting to delete security footage. trump was also charged with new counts, including an additional count of retaining more classified documents. cbs news has identified that document as related to iran and national security and which trump is alleged to have shown that to aides. the trial for that case is scheduled for florida next year. and the defendant who was named today is scheduled to appear in court on july 31st. and then on the separate january 6th investigation led by the special counsel, trump's lawyers met today with justice department officials. now, no indictment was issued by the grand jury today, but sources close to trump still believe it's possible in the coming days. and trump described the meeting between his attorneys and the doj as productive, but sources tell us that meeting also featured extensive back-and-forth about the scope of possible charges facing trump, which were outlined in a

recent target legal signaling a possible indictment that was sent to trump. this all comes as trump continues to be the front-runner in the republican presidential race and is working to consolidate his support, and he plans to head to the battleground state of pennsylvania and to iowa this weekend. j.b. >> robert costa with the late-breaking details. thank you very much. we turn now to the extreme weather with 175 million americans under threat of brutal heat and dangerous storms. a possible tornado touched down in new hampshire where there are reports of scattered damage. meanwhile, the unrelenting record heat dome has expanded into the northeast. cbs's roxana saberi reports on the volatile weather. >> that's a tornado. >> nuh-uh. >> reporter: this video captured the rare moment a reported tornado spun through keene, new hampshire, part of a pattern of volatile weather covering a large section of the northeast. farther south, the excessive heat is now baking new york cty.

boat. >> this is a crowded little ship. it gets testy in here. you feel it right away. >> plain this is a new kind of movie. >> reporter: colin donnell plays roy scheider. alex brightman is richard dreyfuss. >> what is the dynamic that occurs here? >> the dynamic is three enormous egos, varied egos, in a very tight space. >> you know, there is a question i've been meaning to ask you. >> and what might that be? >> why do you drink so much? >> to cope with smart asses like you, richard. >> no. >> reporter: shaw, a hard-drinking old-school shakespearean actor was rubbed the wrong way by the ambitious young yum start, dreyfuss. >> famously robert shaw would lean into his ear right before they would say action and say, mind your mannerisms, leaving dreyfuss sort of to flounder in the idea of going, what mannerisms? >> scheider was left to play the referee. >> roy ends up being the fulcrum in the middle. he really does act as sort of a counterpoint to these, dare i say, outsized personalities.

>> yeah. >> reporter: as filming dragged on in the waters off martha's vineyard in the summer of 1974, ian shaw visited the set. that's 4-year-old ian inspecting the mechanical shark. >> that was exciting, yes, seeing bruce. >> yeah. >> that got my attention. >> reporter: in writing the play, shaw had to excavate his father's past. >> all these years later, you're like some sort of archaeologist. >> did you find anything in looking at him in a way maybe you hadn't before? >> oh, a lot, yeah. yeah, i found it absolutely fascinat fascinating, and i found that there was some grief left actually. >> really? >> yeah. i found it very moving and therapeutic. didn't know? >> his athletic mind, like he was very honest. >> you run the indianapolis?

>> what happened? >> reporter: robert shaw, also an accomplished novelist, helped rewrite the famous indianapolis speech that's a cornerstone of the film. >> sometimes it looks right into you, right into your eyes. you know the thing about a shark, he's got lifeless eyes. >> reporter: ian shaw recreates it in the play. >> when he comes at you, he doesn't seem to be livin' until he bites ya. >> most people don't get the opportunity to embody their father. >> yes. >> and i'm wondering what that feels like? >> i suppose it's a pleasure. it's a strange thing to say. > yeah. >> but the whole thing has made me feel that i've understood him better. >> that was ant

>> announcer: this is the "cbs overnight news." i'm james brown in for norah. we begin tonight with breaking news in the investigation of former president donald trump's alleged mishandling of classified documents after leaving office. the former president is facing new charges, including allegations of obstruction of justice and the willful retention of national defense information. this brings the total number of carges to 40 in the first ever federal indictment of a former president. plus, a third defendant has been named in the case. he's being described as a mar-a-lago employee who helped move some of the boxes containing classified material. cbs's robert costa has been following these late-breaking details, and he joins me here. good evening, robert. >> good evening, j.b. a flurry of sudden developments tonight at the justice department. just in the last hour, a third person named as a defendant in that mar-a-lago document case.

carlos de oliveira, a worker at the property, was accused of attempting to delete security footage. trump was also charged with new counts, including an additional count of retaining more classified documents. cbs news has identified that document as related to iran and national security and which trump is alleged to have shown that to aides. the trial for that case is scheduled for florida next year. and the defendant who was named today is scheduled to appear in court on july 31st. and then on the separate january 6th investigation led by the special counsel, trump's lawyers met today with justice department officials. now, no indictment was issued by the grand jury today, but sources close to trump still believe it's possible in the coming days. and trump described the meeting between his attorneys and the doj as productive, but sources tell us that meeting also featured extensive back-and-forth about the scope of possible charges facing

trump, which were outlined in a recent target letter signaling a possible indictment that was sent to trump. this all comes as trump continues to be the front-runner in the republican presidential race and is working to consolidate his support, and he plans to head to the battleground state of pennsylvania and to iowa this weekend. j.b. >> robert costa with the late-breaking details. thank you very much. we turn now to the extreme weather with 175 million americans under threat of brutal heat and dangerous storms. a possible tornado touched down in new hampshire where there are reports of scattered damage. meanwhile, the unrelenting record heat dome has expanded into the northeast. cbs's roxana saberi reports on the volatile weather. >> that's the tornado. >> nuh-uh. >> reporter: this video captured the rare moment a reported tornado spun through keene, new hampshire, part of a pattern of volatile weather covering a large section of the northeast.

farther south, the excessive heat is now baking new york city. highs here hit 94 today, but that didn't stop tourists like the doormans from visiting times square. >> so what were your plans in new york, and has the heat affected them at all? >> no. >> either way. fun everywhere. >> reporter: the epa says urban heat islands like the concrete jungle of new york can get up to seven degrees hotter than surrounding areas. >> this is not our first heat wave, and with climate change accelerating, it won't be our last. >> reporter: across the country, heat alerts are in effect for 35 states and washington, d.c. scott macfarlane is there. >> reporter: here in the nation's capital, the temperature could hit 100 degrees for the first time in seven years at the peak of sight seeing and tourism season. the city has ordered splash parks and cooling centers opened, and they've also ordered pet owners not to leave their animals outside unattended. at the white house, president biden talked about the extreme heat. >> we should be protecting workers from hazardous conditions, and we will.

and those states where they do not, i'm going to be calling them out. >> reporter: in philadelphia, where it feels like 103 degrees, hospitals are bracing for an influx of people suffering from heat illnesses. >> i don't care if it's the hottest day of the year. bring it on. >> reporter: back here in new york, the city says green spaces like this one in central park are significantly cooler than elsewhere in town. the city has opened around 500 cooling centers and extended public pool hours, and it's asking people to conserve energy when they can in an effort to avoid power outages. j.b. >> roxana saberi in new york city. thank you, roxana. and for the latest on this sweltering heat and if there is any relief in sight, let's bring in meteorologist jacqui jeras from our partners at the weather channel. good evening, jacqui. >> good evening, j.b. another couple of hours of severe storms into the northeast, primarily a damaging wind threat, but a few tornadoes will still be possible yet this evening.

and if that tornado is confirmed in new hampshire, it's a rare thing. only two on average happen each and every year. now, as those storms move out tonight, we're still going to be stuck with the heat for your friday. i fact, temperatures well into the 90s for most of us and feels-like temperatures exceeding 100 degrees. so check on your people and check on your pets. now, the next cold front will be approaching from the midwest and working into the northeast on your saturday and leaving in its wake, j.b., much cooler temperatures and drier air. >> jacqui, thank you very much. there's a lot more news ahead on the "cbs overnight news." i'm ororlando anand i'm liviving with hih. i don't t have to woworry abt daily y hiv pillss because i i switched to everyry-other-mononth caben. for adadults who are unundetectablele, cabena is the onlnly cocomplete lonong-acting hiv v treatmentt you u can get evevery other r. it's twowo injectionons frfrom a healtlthcare provovi.

>> announcer: this is the "cbs overnight news." the faa is investigating a midair incident where an allegiant air flight and a private gulfstream jet were forced to take evasive action to avoid a possible collision. it happened on sunday at an altitude of 23,000 feet about 30 minutes after the allegiant flight took off from ft. lauderdale-hollywood international airport with 181 people on board. allegiant says its pilot received an automated alert about another aircraft at the same altitude and changed course. the allegiant plane returned to ft. lauderdale, where a flight attendant was treated for injuries. and we're learning more about the possible cause of that terrifying construction crane accident high above midtown manhattan on wednesday. cbs's lilia luciano raced to the scene when it happened, and she's back there tonight with

new details in the investigation. >> reporter: there are more questions into the crane company and operator behind wednesday's crane collapse that sent 16 tons of concrete on a massive piece of machinery crashing down 45 stories onto a busy manhattan street. a high-ranking official tells cbs new york that the preliminary cause of the fire is a hydraulic fluid leak. yesterday the fire department praised the crane operator's efforts. >> we give a lot of credit to the crane operator, but the fire overwhelmed that operator and had to exit the crane. >> reporter: records show that operator was fined and had his license suspended in 2008 after he cut the guardrail of a crane platform, resulting in the death of a worker who apparently wasn't wearing a harness properly. >> what are investigators looking at? >> they're looking at maintenance records. they're looking at logs. they're looking at past maintenance records on the crane, whether it was inspected. >> reporter: according to officials, the last time that

crane was inspected by the city was on june 15th. what we're seeing today is this new crane that was brought in by contractors to clear any debris. the department of building says that all structures are sound and that today there were inspectors braving a 550-foot climb to gather evidence at the site of that engine cab where the fire got started. j.b. >> lilia with the latest in new york city. tonight we're learning more about the health of senate minority leader mitch mcconnell. the 81-year-old republican insists he's fine after yesterday's alarming incident where he suddenly stopped speaking during a press conference. cbs's nikole killion reports it's not the first time he's stumbled. >> how are you doing today? >> reporter: senate minority leader mitch mcconnell started his day meeting with the italian prime minister and delivering remarks on the senate floor. his speech at times slightly slowed. >> well, he's right about that. >> reporter: he made no mention of wednesday's halting news

conference, which sparked a call last night from president biden. >> i told him i got sandbagged. >> reporter: cbs news has learned before that incident, the 81-year-old kentucky republican has occasionally required the use of a wheelchair and suffered from at least two falls earlier this year that weren't previously disclosed. one episode occurred this month at reagan national airport and another in february during a trip to helsinki to meet the president of finland. >> senator, do you have a quick second? >> reporter: north carolina's ted budd was with him as part of the u.s. delegation. >> it's also very icy at the time, so it could happen to any of us. >> did it delay the meeting in any way or business as usual? >> business as usual. >> reporter: in march of this year, mcconnell also fell at a washington event, suffering a concussion and a broken rib that required about six weeks of rehab. >> kept him out of service for a while, but he's back. >> how are you feeling, senator? >> reporter: california senator dianne feinstein also returned to the senate this spring after

a nearly three-month absence due to shingles. the 90-year-old democrat's health remains understand scrutiny, and just today, she had this awkward exchange during a committee vote. >> just say "aye." >> okay. just -- aye. >> reporter: a feinstein spokesperson says the committee was a little chaotic as it tried to complete its work before the august recess, and the senator got preoccupied. she announced her retirement earlier this year. mcconnell hasn't said if he intends to run for re-election in 2026, when he'll be 84. j.b. j.b. >> just between us, you know what's better than mopping? anything! ugh. well, i i switched to s swiffer wetetjet, and d it's awesosome. it's a an all-in-o-one, that a absorbs dirirt and grime e deep insidide. and it helelps preventnt ststreaks and d haze. wetjetet is so wororth it. love it,t, or your money b . to help prevent bleeding gums. try saying 'hello gumwash' with parodontax active gum health. it kills 99% plaque bacteria.

diagnosed with lyme disease from a tick bite that didn't show the most common symptom, a bull's-eye-like rash. >> you know, there's good hours and bad hours. it impacts all the things you take for granted that you do every day. >> reporter: other symptoms include headaches, fatigue, and muscle aches. >> every summer, we see an increase in tickborne diseases. >> dr. lori handy says the number of ticks and tickborne infections nationwide is on the rise, likely due to climate change. >> ticks can survive in different areas because it's warmer, and that then can lead to more infections in humans. >> reporter: to prevent an infection, doctors recommend wearing long clothes and using bug spray with deet, changing and showering once home, checking your body in a full-length mirror, and throwing your clothes in the dryer. >> turn it on high, and if any ticks remain on the clothes, they'll just kill that after about ten minutes. >> reporter: if you do find a tick, you should grasp it with tweezers close to the skin and steadily pull it out. the majority of tickborne infections are easily treatable with antibiotics.

>> i really, truly hope that i can just help one other person, ten other people. this has really been quite an experience. >> reporter: meg oliver, cbs news. with the nation baking under a record heat wave, america's largest electrical grid operator issued a level 1 emergency alert this morning, warning of potential blackouts from d.c. to chicago. in tonight's "eye on america," cbs's carter evans takes a look at how solar farms could save the country's fragile energy grid. >> reporter: next to the rows of alfalfa, another type of farm is taking root in kern county, california, one that's harvesting clean, renewable energy. >> these panels track the sun all day. >> reporter: alicia knapp is president and ceo of bhe renewables, owner of solar star, one of the largest solar farms in the country with a peak output of 586 megawatts. >> how many homes can that power?

>> about 255,000 california homes. >> reporter: there are more than 5,000 solar farms across the u.s. producing about 3.5% of the nation's electricity, and dozens of new facilities are being added every month. the increase in available solar energy is a much-needed boost for power grids currently strained by the summer's record-breaking heat. like a mirage in the desert, the 1.7 million panels that make up solar star cover more than five square miles of unused farmland. >> which is more difficult, acquiring the land or getting the transmission lines to transport the electricity? >> transmission hands down. and what could make things even more difficult is if your transmission corridor goes between states. >> reporter: lorelei oviatt, director of planning and natural resources for kern county, says red tape and delays constructing power lines are holding back solar growth. >> when sacramento tells me they need 600,000 acres of solar, my question to them is where is the transmission?

the reason is because people don't like them. >> do people say, i don't want this stuff in my backyard? >> they do. >> reporter: another issue, too much solar power is wasted. >> does this farm sometimes generate more power than is demanded from it? >> yes, it does, mainly in the peak of the day. >> reporter: the most common method to store excess power right now is called pumped storage hydropower. it uses the extra electricity to pump water to an uphill reservoir. when the power is needed, the water is released back down through a generator. >> you want to be able to maximize the output and store the energy and then use it when you need it. >> reporter: knapp says recent advances in technology will soon connect more farms to giant rechargeable batteries that will enable the use of solar power long after the sun goes down. for "eye on america," i'm carter evans in rosamond, california. there's an update tonight on bronny james from his father, lebron james, and the hospital where he was treated for cardiac arrest.
