rough weather blamed for at least six deaths spun tornadoes in texas and frosted millions of americans from new mexico to michigan. omar villafranca is on that story. >> reporter: this storm system pounded texas overnight, flooding roads and spawning tornadoes from houston to dallas. a funnel cloud battered hangars at this airport, and in frisco, strong winds damaged at least 30 homes. further north in woodward, oklahoma, cooler temperatures created freezing rain, leaving a coat of ice an inch thick on everything. downed trees and power lines left thousands without electricity. this drone footage makes the ice-white trees look like a winter wonderland, but on the ground, it's a nightmare. >> oh, there goes another one. >> reporter: the icy roads proved too dangerous for some

drivers. >> oh, he rolled over. he rolled over. >> reporter: dash cam video from a kansas state trooper shows the officer narrowly avoiding a head-on crash with an 18-wheeler. slick streets are blamed for a 20-car pile-up in wichita injuring two, and in nebraska, a fiery crash on interstate 80 caused one semi-truck to erupt into flames. back in woodward, john haring and his daughter natasha hardly slept because of the noise of trees snapping under the weight of the ice. what did it sound like when the trees were snapping? >> transformers were blowing, trees were popping, shotguns or a firecracker, you know. >> reporter: this part of the oklahoma panhandle received about an inch of ice. that's an extra several hundred pounds of weight on a tree like this. as you can see, this tree couldn't handle that weight. it just split right in half. scott, the storm is now headed toward the upper midwest and then on to new england. >> omar villafranca, omar, thank you. today, federal agents arrested the widow of the

orlando nightclub gunman, omar mateen. she's not accused of having a direct role in the deaths of 49 people last june, but she does face charges connected to the massacre. mark strassmann has the latest. >> reporter: fbi agents arrested 30-year-old noor salman at this home in rode, california near san francisco. she had been living here with her four-year-old son, her mother and her younger sister. their neighbor. >> they're a very, very private family. their blinds are closed all the time. the windows shut. even from the backyard you can't see anything. >> reporter: police say omar mateen terrorized the pulse nightclub after last call by shooting and killing indiscriminately. fbi investigators interviewed salman for hours after the attack. sources tell cbs news salman is expected to be charged with aiding and abetting and obstruction of justice. in the weeks leading up to the shooting, sources say she accompanied mateen when he bought ammunition used in the attack and was with him during

surveillance trips to pulse and to disney world, which investigators believe mateen may also have considered as a target. about two hours into the massacre, law enforcement sources tell us mateen texted his wife. "where are you," she asks? "do you see what's happening?" "no," she wrote. finally he wrote, "i love you, babe." in an interview with "the new york times" in november, salman insists he abused her and she was unaware of everything about his nightclub assault. her attorney linda moreno said in a statement -- after her first court appearance in oakland tomorrow morning, she'll likely be turned over to u.s. officials here in florida. this club's owner says the club

will never reopen. she plans to turn it into a memorial for the victims. >> mark strassman in orlando, thank you. police in suburban chicago were being sued for false arrest and excessive force after a citizen called 911 to report a man breaking into a car and driving away. what happened next was recorded by a camera in the car that the suspect was driving. dean reynolds picks up the story there. >> reporter: on october 10, 2015, a caller identified as blake murphy, thought she saw someone breaking into a car. >> he was african american with a black hood. >> reporter: but as a police cruiser rolled into action, murphy began to waver. >> i don't know if i'm like, racial profiling. i feel bad. >> reporter: the man at the wheel was lawrence crosby, a 25-year-old candidate for a ph.d. in engineering from northwestern university, and the car was his. the dash cam in crosby's car picked up his cell phone conversation as he watched the police approach.

>> this is how it is with black people. they think we're always trying to do something wrong. now they're pulling me over. they're going to pull me over. >> reporter: when crosby pulled over and surrendered, a police dash cam recorded the incident. he was tackled by four officers who roughed him up and ran a check on the car. >> get on the ground! get on the ground! stop resisting! >> why am i being put in handcuffs? >> we have to verify the car is not stolen. >> reporter: when the check confirmed the car was crosby's, one officer reacted this way. >> thank god i didn't shoot you, mother [ bleep ]. you should feel lucky for that." >> reporter: the video came to light last week after pressure from local elected officials. tim tooey is crosby's attorney. >> this is something that could have been checked on a computer and all determined without any contact between lawrence crosby and the police. >> reporter: murphy, the 911 caller, followed police to the scene. >> if it is his car, i'm sorry.

>> reporter: they took care of it by charging crosby with resisting arrest. >> if you're going to put us on trial, we'll put you on trial. >> reporter: but crosby was acquitted last year. the evanston police say their officers complied with department procedures, but they are now changing those procedures, scott, and will no longer require that subjects in similar cases be automatically forced to the ground. >> dean reynolds, thanks. coming up next, folding the big top for good. ok, let's try this. it says you apply the blue one to me. here? no. have a little fun together, or a lot. k-y yours and mine. two sensations that work together, so you can play together.

for nearly a century and a half, ladies and gentlemen and children of all ages have flocked to the circus to be thrilled and amazed. but for the greatest show on earth, the show is over this may. manuel bojorquez tells us why. >> reporter: from the death defying to the exotic, the ringling bros. and barnum bailey circus is an american institution. >> it was a difficult decision. >> reporter: kenneth feld is ceo of its parent company. >> it's amazing it's been around for 146 years. and it's survived, you know, economic cycles and world wars. >> reporter: but it could not survive today's rapidly changing entertainment landscape.

ticket sales declined over the last decade and dropped further when the circus phased out its biggest performers in 2015 amid protests by animal rights groups. >> we knew that when we transitioned the elephants off the show that we would take some level of a hit in attendance, but it far exceeded what we ever anticipated. >> reporter: although feld won't directly credit animal rights activists, they claim the circus's demise a victory. is this the end of an era? >> in my heart i don't want to believe that. >> reporter: dolly jacobs was an aerialist with the circus for 14 years. her father was one of its most famous clowns for six decades. you are convinced this will evolve into something else? >> i don't know. i can't say i'm convinced, but in my heart of hearts i hope that it is not gone forever. because it is the greatest show on earth.

gene cernan belonged to one of the most exclusive clubs on earth, one of only 12 men to walk on the moon. he was also one of only three to go to the moon twice. the son of immigrants, cernan was the last human on the moon. he and jack schmidt landed december 11, 1972, cernan had orbited the moon in an earlier apollo mission that was not meant to land. as commander, he was first off of apollo 17 and last back on. gene cernan died today. he was 82. only six moon walkers are still living, all in their 80s. president obama today honored a championship team at the white house for the 86th and last

time. it took his hometown chicago cubs 108 years to get there. they gave the 44th president his own jersey and a lifetime pass. mr. obama said he rooted for the cubs because his chicago white sox missed the playoffs. and we'll be right back.

this is the first martin luther king holiday for the smithsonian's new museum on the national mall. standing in the shadow of a monument to a slave-owning president, the museum explores the tragedy and triumph of african american history. errol barnett is there. >> this place just fills me with hope. >> reporter: the chance to be at the national museum of african american history and culture on the day honoring dr. martin luther king, jr., brought this woman back for a second time. >> the civil rights movement is something i lived through, of course, and it's nice to see a lot of the material collected in one place. >> reporter: roughly 800,000 people have toured the museum since president obama helped open its doors in september. >> it is an act of patriotism to understand where we've been. >> reporter: tickets, even

though they're free, don't come easy. there's no availability until may, and people line up daily in hopes of getting the few same-day passes. >> in there. >> reporter: you're going in there? >> yeah. >> we've been wanting to get in there for some time because we hear how extraordinary it is. >> reporter: surprisingly the museum does not house dr. king's personal item, which his family is keeping with the estate, but it does chronicle the african american experience, from slavery through the civil rights movement to the nation's first black president. janice robinson brought with her more than a dozen people organized through social media. >> reporter: some people will be coming from denmark, florida, texas. >> reporter: siblings peyton and candace head were among them, feeling lessons of equality are needed now more than ever. >> it's just an incredible reminder of all the change and progress that has been made and all the change and progress that needs to be made in the future. >> reporter: one, two, three,

say cheese. finding camaraderie in history. errol barnett, cbs news, washington. and that's the "overnight news" for this tuesday. for some of you the news continues. for others, check back with us just a little bit later for the morning news and be sure not to miss "cbs this morning." from the broadcast center in new york city, i'm scott pelley.

this is the "cbs overnight news." >> welcome to the "overnight news." i'm jericka duncan. we are just three days away from the presidential inauguration of donald trump. as the nation prepares for the transfer of power, questions linger over russian interference in the election. president-elect trump continues to clash with intelligence leaders who are investigating the scope and gravity of russia's actions. on sunday, mr. trump shot back at cia director john brennan tweeting the agency couldn't do much worse, and asking was this the leaker of fake news? major garrett is covering the trump transition. >> reporter: mr. trump was responding to the cia director's assertion sunday that the president-elect does not fully understand the russian threat.

the head of the spy agency also refused to confirm or deny if the cia had any evidence about contacts between the president-elect's campaign and the russians, pointing instead to the fbi. >> i very much hope our relationship with russia improves in the coming administration. >> reporter: on sunday, john brennan warned the president-elect about flights of temper and snap judgments. >> spontaneity is not something that protects national security interests. so therefore when he speaks or reacts, he has to make sure he understands the implications and the impact to the united states could be profound. >> reporter: mr. trump doubted intelligence reports on russian tampering, cyber and otherwise, in the 2016 election. >> as far as hacking, i think it was russia. >> reporter: before reversing course during his news conference last week. >> i don't see this president-elect as a legitimate president. >> reporter: the russian hacks have led democrats like georgia congressman john lewis to question mr. trump's legitimacy.

>> i think the russians participated in helping this man get elected. and they helped destroy the candidacy of hillary clinton. >> reporter: lewis said he will boycott the inauguration. on saturday, mr. trump turned again to twitter. congressman john lewis should spend more time on fixing and helping his district, which is in horrible shape and falling apart, not to mention crime infested, rather than falsely complaining about the election results, trump wrote. all talk, talk, talk, no action or results. sad. >> reporter: lewis, a freedom marcher, represents a district with wealth and prestige, including atlanta's airport, the centers for disease control, and the georgia institute of technology. >> donald trump won this election fair and square. >> reporter: on "face the

nation," vice president-elect mike pence tried to soften donald trump's tone and redirect the rhetoric. >> to say that donald trump will not be a legitimate president was deeply disappointing and also to hear he was not going to attend the inauguration this friday. i hope he reconsiders both statements. after months of planning and preparation, the final details are being put in place for friday's swearing in ceremony. the effort to secure the 58th presidential inauguration may be the toughest one yet. jeff pegues is on the national mall where we got an inside look at the security challenges. >> reporter: washington is going to look like a fortress this week. look at all this fencing they've already set up, and there's more to come. policing inaugurations is a difficult task. every time it happens. but this year it's going to be different because of the web of potential threats, add to that the fact that a number of protest groups have applied for permits, 25, which according to the national parks service is five times what they typically see.

pennsylvania avenue is being transformed for the inauguration, as is security around the nation's capitol. the department of homeland security is expecting close to 1 million people in the streets of washington. so can you see all of washington from this room? >> we can see a lot of washington from this room. >> reporter: executive assistant director of the fbi will be watching from this inauguration command center, with representatives from several different agencies. there are dozens of television screens, with street and aerial views, as well as traffic flow. they want everything covered. >> we're facing a more complex threat environment. >> in what way? >> in terms of the types of attacks that have occurred, things we've seen happen here in the united states, and around the world. >> reporter: the attacks in paris, belgium, and san bernardino haunt law enforcement officials planning for this type of large event. the incidents show that terrorist organizations are

capable of large-scale coordinated attacks or smaller, lone wolf incidents that have been inspired by isis or al qaeda. he says security planners for the inauguration can't rule anything out. >> we work hard every day, 24/7. not just during inauguration, but every day, even today, to stop things like that from happening. >> you can have unpredictable crowds. >> reporter: former homeland security secretary michael chertoff, who led security in 2009 when president obama was sworn into office, said terrorism isn't the only concern. >> protesters always create a challenge, particularly because they can be a distraction. >> reporter: over 350,000 demonstrators are expected in the streets, helping to keep the peace will be nearly 30,000 law enforcement officials deployed throughout the city by friday. including 3200 police officers from departments across the country, and about 8,000 members

of the national guard. after nearly a century and a half of performances, time is now running out to see the so-called greatest show on earth. the ringling brothers and barnum and bailey's circus will fold up its tents for the last time in may. executives blame high operating costs and smaller crowds, especially after the end of the elephant acts. here's manuel bojorquez. >> reporter: with high-flying stunts and exotic animals, the ringling bros. and barnum bailey circus was big-time entertainment under the big top, captivating udiences for nearly 150 years. >> the premiere of a new ringling brothers and barnum bailey's circus. >> reporter: but attendance has been falling. just last week, they introduced their first female ringmaster. but the circus' parent company says last year's decision to let

go of some of their biggest performers amid pressure from animal rights groups was the final straw. >> removing the elephants from the touring units, we saw a very sharp drop in attendance, much greater than we anticipated. that's led us to this decision, because the business model is no longer sustainable. >> reporter: activists are claiming victory but are still concerned about the future of the animals. >> they still have the possibility to do right by the animals by moving them to sanctuaries. >> reporter: at the circus conservatory in sarasota where they train young circus stars of tomorrow, many are heart broken. >> it's a magic that you feel once you walk into the tent. >> reporter: dolly jacobs is an instructor here, and her dad was one of ringling's most famous clowns. >> is this end of an era? >> in my heart i don't want to believe that. it's part of americana. it's part of our dna in america. it's a memory maker.

just days before stepping down from the nation's highest office, president obama reflected on his eight years in power in an extended interview with "60 minutes." the president reviewed his successes, his failures, and what he learned while leading the country. mr. obama sat down with steve kroft for his last "60 minutes" interview as president. >> reporter: we sat down with president obama monday afternoon in the state dining room at the white house. it marked our 12th and final interview with him since he was elected president. we began by showing him a president. >> there's something i want to show you. >> what do we got here? look at that. i've got to say that i feel as if i couldn't take this kind of chicago winter right now. >> reporter: it was taken super bowl sunday 2007 on a frigid day

on the south side of chicago. one of the last times he could walk a street without attracting a big crowd. unincumbered by secret service or an entourage. it was a week before he declared his formal candidacy for presidency. >> that was ten years ago. >> that's right. that's my mother-in-law's house. that block, i think. >> nobody around. nobody cared. >> they didn't. how about that? >> reporter: he was an audaciously hopeful junior senator from illinois, splitting his time from his tiny apartment in washington and the chicago home where he had two young daughters. >> what else does he make besides tuna fish? >> chili. >> reporter: his wife was a working mom, hospital executive and major breadwinner. she wasn't crazy about her husband being in politics. >> has it put strains on the marriage from time to time? >> oh, no. >> absolutely it has.

>> but you let him do this? >> i think if i weren't married to him, i would want him to be in there. so i don't want to stand in the way of that. because we have to work out a few things. we've had those arguments -- >> and i've lost them all. >> reporter: it all seems like a long time ago. >> so what's the difference between this guy and the guy you are now? how much smarter are you than this guy standing on the street corner? >> well, let's see. obviously i'm grayer, a few more wrinkles. i'll be honest, steve, one of the things i'm proud about is that i think my basic character and outlook actually have not changed much. and people who are closest to me will tell you that the guy who came here is the same guy who is leaving. and the reason i take pride for that is one of the things you worry about when you're in the bubble, and there's all this pomp and circumstance and hail to the chief is do you lose touch with what you thought was

important and what brought you here? and i'm proud that i don't think i have lost touch. >> if you had to write a brief description of this job, beginning with wanted, how would you describe the position and what are the tasks and what skills do you think you need? >> thick skin helps. >> thick skin. stamina. >> stamina. there's a greater physical element to this job than you would think. just being able to grind it out. and your ability to not just mentally and emotionally, but physically be able to say, we got this. we're going to be okay. >> reporter: did you learn the executive stuff on the job? because when we first talked, i must have asked you a hundred times, your only executive experience is running your own campaign and the harvard law review. did you have to learn a lot of this on the job? >> the campaign was a more significant training ground than i think people give it credit for.

by the time i got here, i think i had a pretty good sense of what was required. but the circumstances in which i came in were different than most executives, right? the enterprise was in the midst of a major crisis. so those first six months were a fire drill. >> reporter: beside the two wars he inherited in iraq and afghanistan and promised to end, a financial crisis at home had pushed the united states to the brink of another great depression. when we spoke with the new president in march of 2009, the economy was losing 800,000 jobs a month. the government was throwing hundreds of billions at failing banks, and the auto industry was on the verge of collapse. politically pummelled from all sides, obama did his best to keep a sense of humor. >> i just want to say that the only thing less popular than putting money into banks is putting money into the auto industry. >> 18% are in favor.

76% against. >> it's not a high number. >> you're sitting here and you are laughing about some of these problems. are people going to look at this and say, is he just making jokes? explain your mood and your laughter. are you punch drunk? >> no, no, there has to be a little gallows humor to get you through the thing. >> reporter: the political candidacy built around hope and change and compromise would eventually become a presidency of crisis and confrontation. >> anything that surprised you about this job? >> i was surprised and continue to be surprised by the severity of partisanship in this town. i had been warned about it. you'll remember in the campaign in 2007 and 2008, people would say, he's being naive, he thinks there's no red states and blue states and wait till he gets here. i will confess that i didn't

fully appreciate the ways in which individual senators or members of congress now are pushed to the extremes by their voter bases. i did not expect, particularly in the midst of crisis, just how severe that partisanship would be. >> you came into this office trying to unify the country. you said that many times during the campaign, you wanted to bring people together. you wanted to change washington. you talked about transformative change. you became the focal point for some of the division. >> i became a lightning rod for some partisan battles. i could not be prouder of the track record we've put together. by almost every measure, the country is significantly better off than when i came in. if you can look back and say the economy is better, our security is better, the environment is better, our kid's education is

better, if you can say that you've made things better, considering all the challenges out there, you should feel good. but i'm the first to acknowledge that i did not crack the code in terms of reducing this partisan fever. >> we'll have more of president obama's interview with steve kroft in two minutes. we'll be right back. ey on my car insurance by switching to geico. i should take a closer look at geico... you know, geico can help you save money on your homeowners insurance too? great! geico can help insure our mountain chalet! how long have we been sawing this log? um, one hundred and fourteen years. man i thought my arm would be a lot more jacked by now. i'm not even sure this is real wood. there's no butter in this churn. do my tris look okay? take a closer look at geico. great savings. and a whole lot more.

after one of the most

divisive presidential campaigns in recent history, president obama assessed the state of american democracy and voter frustration with the political system. here's more of the president's conversation with "60 minutes" correspondent steve kroft. >> you can get a lot of stuff done through this system, but to sustain a governing majority, that requires an ability for republicans and democrats to find some common ground. and right now, the structure of the system is such where it makes it really hard for people to work together. and we mentioned an example earlier, the supreme court nominations. i mean, the fact that mitch mcconnell, the leader of the republicans, was able to just stop a nomination almost a year before the next election and really not pay a political price for it, that's a sign that the

incentives for politicians in this town to be so sharply partisan have gotten so out of hand, that, you know, we're weakening ourselves. >> how serious do you think this is? how stable do you think the political system, the democratic system is? >> i think it's stable because the framers in their wisdom designed the system so that power is pretty disbursed. we have states, and we have cities, and we have counties, and we have the private sector. so the country still works, even when washington's dysfunctional. but the problem is that over time, big pieces of business that have to get done without leadership from washington don't get done. >> i want to go back briefly on this.

this last election, you had the political system -- well, first of all, people elected somebody who went around saying that the system was rigged. you had two of the most unpopular presidential candidates selected by the two parties in history. >> yeah. >> doesn't that say something is wrong, something serious is wrong? >> it indicates that there is a lot of cynicism out there. it indicates that the corrosive nature of everything from talkradio to fake news to negative advertising has made people lack confidencein a lot of our existing institutions. i think it indicates, at least on the democratic side, that we've got more work to do to strengthen our grassroots networks. in some ways, the democratic party hadn't constructed itself

to get that message out to the places it needed to get to. the tea party i have huge disagreements with, obviously. but i give them credit for having activated themselves, and they made a difference in terms of moving the republican party and in terms of moving the country in a particular direction. it's a direction i disagreed with, but it showed that, in fact, you get involved, if your voice is heard, it has an impact. >> do you feel the same way about donald trump? >> well, i think that he clearly was able to tap into a lot of grievances, and he has a talent for making a connection with his supporters that overrode some of the traditional benchmarks of how you would run a campaign or conduct yourself as a presidential candidate. what will be interesting to see is how that plays out during the

course of his presidency. we are moving into an era where a lot of people get their information through tweets and sound bites and some headline that comes over their phone. and i think that there's a power in that. there's also a danger. what generates a headline or stirs up a controversy and what gets attention isn't the same as what you need to solve a problem. >> you said you don't know how he's going to do when he governs. we're in this transition period, and one of the first things he's done in this transition period is to pick a fight with the intelligence agencies. do you think that's a smart move? >> you're not going to be able to make good decisions without building some relationship of trust between yourself and that community. >> do you see that happening? >> not yet, but, you know, again, he hasn't gotten sworn into office yet. >> to watch steve kroft's full interview with president obama, go to cbsnews.com and click on

other children to read. >> deeply rooted in the american dream, i have a dream -- >> reporter: we were there as she rehearsed dr. martin luther king jr.'s i have a stream speech. >> we hold these truths to be self-evident. >> reporter: at the hall county library ahead of her performance to mark the national holiday. and she's still able to be a little girl. when you hear a 4-year-old reading a thousand books, you're like, does she play outside? >> exactly. she's still a 4-year-old. >> what do you want to be when you grow up, have you thought about it? >> yes. i want to be a paleontologist. >> reporter: she says the first thousand books are just the opening chapter of her story. >> the end. >> reporter: demarco morgan, gainesville, georgia. >> that's the "overnight news" for this tuesday. for some of you the news continues. for others, check back with us later for the morning news and "cbs this morning."
