court to grant a new trial. >> reporter: for alex murdaugh's lawyers, the bull's-eye is rebecca hill, the colton county court clerk. they're alleging she jury tampered to write a book about the murdaugh murder saga. >> the clerk of the court had improper private communications with the jurors. don't be fooled by his testimony. watch out for his body language. >> guilty verdict. >> reporter: last march, murdaugh was found guilty of murdering his wife maggie and son, paul, gunned down on their hunting estate by long rifles at short range. his trial flared with part southern gothic, part southern grotesque. a dynastic south carolina family, wealthy, wiley, and powerful. themes of greed, deceit, recklessness. a defendant admitting from the stand to lying, an opioid addiction, and ripping off millions from clients. buster murdaugh, the defendant's son, believes his dad's a

psychopath but not a murderer. and the trial? >> i think it was a tilted table from the beginning. >> reporter: supporting the tampering claim, affidavits from two murdaugh jurors and a third dismissed juror. >> from that evidence, a determination will be made if there should be a new trial. but at least there should be a hearing. the court official should never be discussing anything about testimony or credibility of witnesses. >> reporter: no comment so far from rebecca hill, the court clerk who is suddenly in the spotlight. the south carolina court of appeals has ten days to respond to this request for an evidentiary hearing. the latest twist in this true crime saga. norah. >> indeed. mark strassmann, thank you. a scathing ruling today by a panel of federal judges finds alabama's republican-led legislature in defiance of the u.s. supreme court and tosses out the state's newly drawn congressional map, saying it

denies fair political representation to black voters. a court-appointed official will now draw the lines for next year's elections, creating at least one additional majority black district, which could help democrats pick up another seat in the closely divided house. mitch mcconnell returned to work today with the rest of the senate amid growing concerns about his health. nearly a week after the senate's top republican froze and stood speechless in front of reporters for the second time this summer, mcconnell's office released a letter today from the capitol's attending physician. it says there's no evidence the 81-year-old senator has a seizure disorder or that he suffered a stroke or has parkinson's disease. well, we did see him on the senate floor today, mcconnell only alluded to the incident, saying he's been busy and productive. we turn now to our in-depth look at americas student loan crisis. the freeze on federal student loan payments, which started more than three years ago at the start of the covid pandemic, comes to an end next month. a recent survey finds nearly

half of borrowers expect to be delinquent on their payments. we get more now from cbs's carter evans. >> reporter: rochelle brooks knows the power of higher education. the once homeless single mother says college pulled her out of poverty. >> how many degrees do you have? >> i've got an associate's degree, a bachelor's dreg, two master's degree, a teaching credential, and a doctorate degree. >> could you have done it without taking out student loans? >> absolutely not. >> reporter: now 36 and an l.a. public school principal, brooks and her fiance are expecting a baby girl. but she never expected her student loan debt would balloon to more than $230,000. >> that is a big number. >> it's huge. >> reporter: when bills go out again in october, she'll owe $700 a month. at that rate, she'll be paying off her student loans well into retirement. >> that $700 a month could be food. it could be gas. it could be bills paid. >> some people just simply won't be able to make the payment. >> reporter: braxton brewington

is with the debt collective, a nationwide union of bror rowers fighting to erase debts. >> the majority of student debtors actually have an annual income less than $75,000. in fact, 40% of student debtors don't actually have a degree because they've had to drop out of college. they couldn't afford it. >> reporter: interest on these federal loans began accruing again last week. >> who is going to be impacted the most by this? >> women in particular, black and brown americans, older americans. >> reporter: an oxford economic study suggests that the restart of student loan payments will reduce consumer spending by $100 billion a year. >> this comes at a time when we think the economy is going to become more vulnerable and actually slip into a recession at the end of the year. >> reporter: and even though rochelle brooks has a $120,000 salary, it won't pay for three children, rent in los angeles, and her college debt. >> you're successful. you are putting your degrees to use. >> that's what gets to me, right?

you did everything the right way. i did everything that i thought i should do to get ahead. >> when that bill comes due in october, you can't pay it? >> i can't pay it, and i won't pay it because i can't. >> reporter: right now there's a 12-month grace period where your credit won't take a hit if you don't pay your bills, but that interest is still going to accrue. and there are some loan forgiveness programs based on your income and also whether or not you work in public service like principal brooks, and that's something she's going to be looking into. norah. >> there should be help for teachers and nurses and more. carter evans, thank you. the "cbs overnight newews" will be riright back.. hey, i just got a text from my sister. you remember rick, her neighbor? sure, he's the 76-year-old guy who still runs marathons, right?

we begin with breaking news from the federal courthouse right here in washington. 39-year-old enrique tarrio, once the top leader of the far-right extremist group the proud boys, was just sentenced to 22 years in federal prison for orchestrating the failed plot to forcibly block the peaceful transfer of power following the 2020 presidential election. it is the longest sentence yet stemming from the january 6th assault on the u.s. capitol, but not as long as the 33 years requested by prosecutors. he begged the judge for mercy, saying, quote, "i'm not a political zealot." but he did not receive that mercy. cbs's scott macfarlane was inside the courthouse. he joins us now. good evening, scott. >> reporter: good evening, norah. enrique tarrio was the highest level january 6th defendant, convicted of that highest level charge, seditious conspiracy. choking up, he apologized in court to the police and the other victims. but for the judge, that remorse was too little, too late.

ththe man fedederal prosececuto called the leader of the conspiracy that led to the january 6th attacks, former proud boys leader enrique tarrio, stood in court today and asked the judge to show mercy, adding how sorry he was for the events that occurred that day. but judge timothy kelly, who sentenced tarrio to the longest jail sentence yet for any january 6th defendant, pointed to this text message tarrio sent after the capitol had been breached. "proud of my boys and my country. don't expletive leave." >> the jury agreed with the government that he directed this, that he recruited the individuals who were in place and led the assault on the capitol with the express intention of preventing the peaceful transfer of power. >> reporter: tarrio's attorney sought leniency, arguing he wasn't at the capitol that day, watching from a hotel in baltimore. a prior arrest had banned him from traveling to d.c. but prosecutors laid out how tarrio mobobilized a g group of to m march on ththe capitol,l, g

heat dome smothering much of the nation. 186 million americans sweltered in hotter than normal conditions today with nearly half of the population experiencing temperatures in the 90s and above. cbs's omar villafranca now on how the dangerous heat is impacting schools. >> reporter: extreme heat is causing a back-to-school meltdown. in detroit, jamaya braid and javon adams had to pick up their two sons three hours early after the mercury hit 91 degrees. >> i just found out yesterday at 7:00 p.m. yesterday that they have a half a day today. >> reporter: and it's not just in michigan. schools across seven states either had early dismissals or were closed entirely because of the heat, including in philadelphia, where students from 78 public schools with no air-conditioning were sent home early on the first day of classes. in washington, d.c., the swamp feeling like a swamp. public pools were set to close on labor day, but the 97-degree

temps are forcing city officials to keep some open until september 21st. it's welcome relief for steve anlian. >> it's pretty warm here, but couldn't be a better place than at the pool. >> reporter: businesses in texas are also feeling the effects, including the ivy tavern in dallas. the local bar has plenty of patio space with fans and water misters. >> that adds an extra element. >> reporter: but general manager ben frye says when it's triple digits outside, customers stay home. >> if we get a cold front where it goes down to the 90s, we get a jump in business like real fast. >> can you notice it that quick? >> absolutely, yeah. literally it can go from one day to the next. >> reporter: texas' power operator is actually telling the people to -- pardon me here -- has issued a weather watch for the rest of the week. they're encouraging people to conserve power to avoid any possible outages, especially on friday, norah, when the temperatures could reach 107. >> that is hot. omar villafranca, thank you. for more on the heat and a potential monster hurricane

brewing far out in the atlantic, let's bring in chris warren of our partners at the weather channel. good evening, chris. >> good evening, norah. this record heat is hanging in there. it is persistent, and the reason for that, this heat dome is going to be strengthening over the southern plains. and as it does, still looking for some serious, possibly more dangerous heat for the southern tier. some relief coming with storms for the ohio valley. but even into the end of the week, temperatures in the northeast still in the 90s. triple digits for the southern plains. and also looking at newly named tropical storm lee, expected to become a major hurricane in the coming days. and, norah, this is one that certainly needs to be watched. >> we'll watch it. chris warren, thank you. on the heels of one of the busiest travel weekends of the year, a computer glitch forced united airlines to temporarily ground its entire fleet across the u.s. and canada today, disrupting more than 350

flights. we get the latest from cbs's errol barnett. >> reporter: it began with an ominous statement. united airlines experiencing a systemwide technology issue. the faa advising the airline was unable to contact their dispatch through normal means. the impact, a nationwide ground stop, halting all of the airline's departures in north america. the alert was issued at roughly 1:00 p.m. eastern time, and just over an hour later, united lifted the ground stop, saying it was a software update. but even small problems can create massive headaches. the ground stop has translated to hundreds of delays, slowing thousands of people, especially at united's major hubs. those still on the tarmac were stuck. one passenger posted, quote, "been sitting in a hot plane at the gate for 90-plus minutes." another writing, quote, "not fun when you're in the absolute last row with four crying babies and

it feels like 90 degrees in the plane." perhaps one saving grace, the disruption occurred one day after the busy labor day weekend. and on that point, according to data from flightaware, there were actually more united cancellations during the long holiday weekend than took place today. still, the airline is investigating the precise cause of alt of this, norah. it does not believe it to be a cybersecurity issue, though. >> errol barnett with that nightmare. thank you. there's a lot more news ahead on the "cbs overnight news."

diminish. so even if you've had covid in the past, once this new booster becomes available, you should get it. >> reporter: health officials are keeping a close eye on a new variant. the cdc says ba2.86 is responsible for less than 1% of covid cases nationwide, but it has dozens of mutations that could make it better at evading immunity from both current vaccines and previous infections. >> that was elaine quijano reporting. there are new reports that the north korean leader kim jong-un is planning to cross the border into russia for a meeting with the russian president, vladimir putin. moscow is looking for ammunition in its war in ukraine, and north korea has a long list of needs. imtiaz tyab reports from kyiv. >> reporter: the white house is calling on kim to cease negotiations with putin and commit to his promise not to provide arms to moscow. but it looks like a major deal between the repressive regimes is close.

vladimir putin and kim jong-un are no strangers. the leaders met in the far eastern russian city of vladivostok in 2019 for their first-ever summit, where they vowed to boost ties between their nations. now 18 months into president putin's unprovoked war on ukraine, moscow wants help from pyongyang. according to "the new york times," a major weapons deal is on the table, with kim expected to make the roughly 400-mile journey back to vladivostok on his armored train to meet with putin later this month. he will reportedly discuss exchanging a significant quantity of north korean-made weapons and ammunition for advanced russian satellite technology, nuclear-powered submarines, and food aid. whatever is agreed, putin's brutal war grinds on. at a media briefing alongside the turkish president, he lashed out at kyiv's counteroffensive

saying -- "it's not a stalling. it's a failure.e." on a visit to an undisclosed location, president volodymyr zelenskyy met with frontline soldiers. it's very useful to hear from those who go into b battle directly, hehe sasaid, to know whatat's l lacking and what n no be chananged. the biden administration is exexpected to announce a new military aid package for kyiv later t this week. weapons that f for ukrainian forces can't come soon enough. now, this meeting could happen as early as next week, but any deal made to supply weapons could add to the already crippling western sanctions both countries are under. but neither moscow nor pyongyang seems to care. >> that was imtiaz tyab in kyiv. on the front lines, american-supplied cluster munitions continue to aid ukraine in its counteroffensive against russian troops in the south of the country. the weapons are banned by most countries but are being deployed

by both sides in the ukraine conflict. debora patta reports. >> reporter: we're heading to a secret hideout deep in this forest. caught in the crosshairs of a new line of russian attack. we're bunkered down with ukrainian troops not far from the eastern frontline where russia is putting them under intention pressure in a bid to stretch their resources. moscow wants to fororce ukraineo bolster its defense here by siphoning off soldiers from its counteroffensive in the south. >> a couple weeks of very huge combat here, using tanks, aviation, rocket system, drones. >> reporter: u.s.-trained commander sill tenco and his elite forces have been up all night fending off another russian assault. outmanned and outgunned, russia has almost ten times their

ammunition. >> they outnumber us with drones, and it's a huge problem. but we have no choice. >> and morale? high? >> we are holding on a lot. it is difficult. i can say that our morale is on the top, but we're holding the line, and we are standing. we are ukrainians. >> reporter: one thing that is making a difference further along this front line are these. the u.s.-supplied and controversial cluster munitions. critics worry about a weapon that releases dozens of smaller bombs, which sometimes fail to explode, posing a deadly threat to civilians as they linger in fields long after a conflict ends. but the commander of the brigade's artillery unit says they give them a crucial advantage in the absence of airpower because they can strike

a large area using only one shell. >> so it can clear an area quickly? >> very quickly. >> reporter: he directs a strike from their control room. russian positions are in the firing line. one cluster, one shot is the order. "understood" replies the gunner in the field. the hit is successful. but the moral dilemma of using a weapon banned in most countries is not up for debate here. these men believe those cluster bombs are crucial in helping them hold the line for now. the ukrainian soldiers we spoke to say so far, the dud rate on these american cluster bombs is very low, claiming they've been almost 100% efficient. almost 100% efficient. >> that was debora patta i so i dididn'tk i i needed swiwi, ununtil, i saw hohow easily it p picked up m my hair

beautiful and ready for the crowds. >> if you think about the numbers associated with this event, more than 600 athletes that will come through, we've got officials, hundreds of officials. we hire 7,000 workers to support the event. we've got more than 300 staffers who are here. >> reporter: it's logistics magic. the usta brings in some 200 cadillac suvs to shuttle players to and from the tennis center. food is prepared in huge volumes to feed the players and the more than 1,000 members of the media from 40 countries, who come to cover the tournament. and we haven't even talked about fans yet. >> last year, we were close to 900,000 people. this year, you're expecting more. that is a lot to manage coming in and out of one facility. >> it sure is. to put them in perspective, that's more than an nba team will do in a season. it's more than an nfl team will do a season, pack nood a

three-week window of time. >> you don't just describe this as a tennis tournament. >> we jokingly refer to it as a food and wine festival. we know that only about half of the eight or nine hours they spend with us will be watching the competition. the other time is spent shopping, dining, drinking, people-watching. >> reporter: that means making sure the shelves are stocked at the 19 merchandising shops. it means the food court and the fine dining restaurants have to be humming along. and it means enough grey goose vodka, chambord, and lenlen aid to serve the u.s. open signature drink, the honey deuce. more than 400,000 were poured last year. the revenue from this tennis fest last year was more than $470 million. and here's something to remember. the usta is a not for profit. >> 100% of the proceeds off of this event are reinvested back into the grassroots to grow the game. >> reporter: many people have a

perception of tennis that it's been an elite sport, a country club sport if you may. >> that notion is an old notion. if you looked at tennis today, the majority of tennis is played on public courts in america. we exist to grow the game, but we also exist to make sure the game looks like america. >> reporter: it's three weeks of the world's top tennis nestled in a 42-acre mini village. and when it's all over, when the players are off to their next match, when the crowds have all gone home -- >> you start over, lather, rinse, repeat. but there's a great feeling of satisfaction when we say job well done and we shut the lights at the end of the last championship. >> that was

forcibly block the peaceful transfer of power following the 2020 presidential election. it is the longest sentence yet stemming from the january 6th assault on the u.s. capitol, but not as long as the 33 years requested by prosecutors. he begged the judge for mercy, saying, quote, "i'm not a political zealot." but he did not receive that mercy. cbs's scott macfarlane was inside the courthouse. he joins us now. good evening, scott. >> reporter: good evening, norah. enrique tarrio was the highest level january 6th defendant, convicted of that highest level charge, seditious conspiracy. choking up, he apologized in court to the police and the other victims. but for the judge, that remorse was too little, too late. the man federal prosecutors calleded the leader of the conspiracy that led to the january 6th attacks, former proud boys leader enrique tarrio, stood in court today and asked the judge to show mercy, adding how sorry he was for the

events that occurred that day. but judge timothy kelly, who sentenced tarrio to the longest jail sentence yet for any january 6th defendant, pointed to this text message tarrio sent after the capitol had been breached. "proud of my boys and my country. don't expletive leave." >> the jury agreed with the government that he directed this, that he recruited the individuals who were in place and led the assault on the capitol with the express intention of preventing the peaceful transfer of power. >> reporter: tarrio's attorney sought leniency, arguing he wasn't at the capitol that day, watching from a hotel in baltimore. a prior arrest had banned him from traveling to d.c. but prosecutors lalaid out howo tarrio mobobilized a g group of to m march on ththe capitol,l, g that they would turn out in record numbers that day and responding to president trump's 2020 debate comment. >> stand back and stand by. >> reporter: tarrio writing "standing by, sir." his proud boys co-defendants

>> reporter: extreme heat is causing a back-to-school meltdown. in detroit, jamaya bray and javon adams had to pick up their two sons three hours early after the mercury hit 91 degrees. >> i just found out yesterday at 7:00 p.m. yesterday that they have a half a day today. >> reporter: and it's not just in michigan. schools across seven states either had early dismissals or were closed entirely because of the heat, including in philadelphia, where students from 78 public schools with no air-conditioning were sent home early on the first day of classes. in washington, d.c., the swamp feeling like a swamp. public pools were set to close on labor day, but the 97-degree temps are forcing city officials to keep some open until september 21st. it's welcome relief for steve anlian. >> it's pretty warm here, but couldn't be a better place than at the pool. >> reporter: businesses in texas are also feeling the effects, including the ivy tavern in dallas.

the local bar has plenty of patio space with fans and water misters. >> that adds an extra element. >> reporter: but general manager ben frye says when it's triple digits outside, customers stay home. >> if we get a cold front where it goes down to the 90s, we get a jump in business like real fast. >> can you notice it that quick? >> absolutely, yeah. literally it can go from one day to the next. >> reporter: texas' power operator is actually telling the people to -- pardon me here -- has issued a weather watch for the rest of the weekend. they're actually encouraging people to conserve power to avoid any possible outages, especially on friday, norah, when the temperatures could reach 107. >> that is hot. omar villafranca, thank you. for more on the heat and a potential monster hurricane brewing far out in the atlantic, let's bring in chris warren of our partners at the weather channel. good evening, chris. >> good evening, norah. this record heat is hanging in there. it is persistent, and the reason for that, this heat dome is going to be strengthening over

the southern plains. and as it does, still looking for some serious, possibly more dangerous heat for the southern tier. some relief coming with storms for the ohio valley. but even into the end of the week, temperatures in the northeast still in the 90s. triple digits for the southern plains. and also looking at newly named tropical storm lee, expected to become a major hurricane in the coming days. and, norah, this is one that certainly needs to be watched. >> we'll watch it. chris warren, thank you. there's a lot more news ahead on the "cbs overnight news."

on the heels of one of the busiest travel weekends of the year, a computer glitch forced united airlines to temporarily ground its entire fleet across the u.s. and canada today, disrupting more than 350 flights. we get the latest from cbs's errol barnett. >> reporter: it began with an ominous statement. united airlines experiencing a systemwide technology issue. the faa advising the airline was unable to contact their dispatch through normal means. the impact, a nationwide ground stop, halting all of the airline's departures in north america. the alert was issued at roughly 1:00 p.m. eastern time, and just over an hour later, united lifted the ground stop, saying it was a software update. but even small problems can create massive headaches. the ground stop has translated to hundreds of delays, slowing thousands of people, especially at unit's major hubs. those still on the tarmac were

stuck. one passenger posted, quote, "been sitting in a hot plane at the gate for 90-plus minutes." another writing, quote, "not fun when you're in the absolute last row with four crying babies and it feels like 90 degrees in the plane." perhaps one saving grace, the disruption occurred one day after the busy labor day weekend. and on that point, according to data from flightaware, there were actually more united cancellations during the long holiday weekend than took place today. still, the airline is investigating the precise cause of all of this, norah. it does not believe it to be a cybersecurity issue, though. tonight, a major twist in the family murder trial of a prominent south carolina lawyer. attorneys for alex murdaugh are demanding a new trial, claiming jury tampering. cbs's mark strassmann has the cbs's mark strassmann has the stunning new details.

>> there's no choice but the court to grant a new trial. >> reporter: for alex murdaugh's lawyers, the bull's-eye is rebecca hill, the col aton county court clerk. they're alleging she jury tampered to write a book about the murdaugh murder saga. >> the clerk of the court had improper private communications with the jurors. don't be fooled by his testimony. watch out for his body language. >> guilty verdict. >> reporter: last march, murdaugh was found guilty of murdering his wife maggie and son, paul, gunned down on their hunting estate by long rifles at short range. his trial flared with part southern gothic, part southern grotesque. a dynastic south carolina family, wealthy, wily, and powerful. themes of greed, deceit, recklessness. a defendant admitting from the stand to lying, an opioid addiction, and ripping off millions from clients. buster murdaugh, the defendant's son, believes his dad's a psychopath but not a murderer.

and the trial? >> i think it was a tilted table from the beginning. >> reporter: supporting the tampering claim, affidavits from two murdaugh jurors and a third dismissed juror. >> from that evidence, a determination will be made if there should be a new trial. but at least there should be a hearing. the court official should never be discussing anything about testimony or credibility of witnesses. >> reporter: no comment so far from rebecca hill, the court clerk who is suddenly in the spotlight. the south carolina court of appeals has ten days to respond to this request for an evidentiary hearing. the latest twist in this true crime saga. norah. >> indeed. mark strassmann, thank you. a scathing ruling today by a panel of federal judges finds alabama's republican-led legislature in defiance of the u.s. supreme court and tosses out the state's newly drawn congressional map, saying it

denies fair political representation to black voters. a court-appointed official will now draw the lines for next year's elections, creating at least one additional majority black district, which could help democrats pick up another seat in the closely divided house. mitch mcconnell returned to work today with the rest of the senate amid growing concerns about his health. nearly a week after the senate's top republican froze and stood speechless in front of reporters for the second time this summer, mcconnell's office released a letter today from the capitol's attending physician. it says there's no evidence the 81-year-old senator has a seizure disorder or that he suffered a stroke or has parkinson's disease. while we did see him on the senate floor today, mcconnell only alluded to the incident, saying he's been busy and productive. we turn now to our in-depth look at america's student loan crisis. the freeze on federal student loan payments, which started more than three years ago at the start of the covid pandemic, comes to an end next month. a recent survey finds nearly half of borrowers expect to be

delinquent on their payments. we get more now from cbs's carter evans. >> reporter: rochelle brooks knows the power of higher education. the once homeless single mother says college pulled her out of poverty. >> how many degrees do you have? >> i've got an associate's degree, a bachelor's degree, two master's degrees, a teaching credential, and a doctorate degree. >> could you have done it without taking out student loans? >> absolutely not. >> reporter: now 36 and an l.a. public school principal, brooks and her fiance are expecting a baby girl. but she never expected her student loan debt would balloon to more than $230,000. >> that is a big number. >> it's huge. >> reporter: when bills go out again in october, she'll owe $700 a month. at that rate, she'll be paying off her student loans well into retirement. >> that $700 a month could be food. it could be gas. it could be bills paid. >> some people just simply won't be able to make the payment. >> reporter: braxton brewington is with the debt collective, a

nationwide union of borrowers fighting to erase debts. >> the majority of student debtors actually have an annual income less than $75,000. in fact, 40% of student debtors don't actually have a degree because they've had to drop out of college, they couldn't afford it. >> reporter: interest on these federal loans began accruing again last week. >> who is going to be impacted the most by this? >> women in particular, black and brown americans, older americans. >> reporter: an oxford economic study suggests that the restart of student loan payments will reduce consumer spending by $100 billion a year. >> this comes at a time when we think the economy is going to become more vulnerable and actually slip into a recession at the end of the year. >> reporter: and even though rochelle brooks has a $120,000 salary, it won't pay for three children, rent in los angeles, and her college debt. >> you're successful. you are putting your degrees to use. >> that's what gets to me, right? you did everything the right

way. i did everything that i thought i should do to get ahead. >> when that bill comes due in october, you can't pay it? >> i can't pay it, and i won't pay it because i can't. >> reporter: right now there's a 12-month grace period where your credit won't take a hit if you don't pay your bills, but that interest is still going to accrue. and there are some loan forgiveness programs based on your income and also whether or not you work in public service like principal brooks, and that's something she's going to be looking into. norah. >> there should be help for teachers and nurses and more. carter evans, thank you. the "cbs overnight news" will be right back.
