Welcome to the overnight news. Im elaine quijano. Iran continues to be a country in mourning. Huge crowds turned out sunday as the remains of general Qasem Soleimani returned home after being killed in a u. S. Drone strike. His casket draped by the iranian flag. Amid the grief, chants of death to america. In baghdad where soleimani was killed by a u. S. Drone strike, the countrys parliament approved a plan which would remove all american troops from its soil. All this as the u. S. And now israel prepare for irans retaliation. Ian lee in baghdad begins our coverage. Reporter a heros welcome for the body of Qasem Soleimani. Tens of thousands packed irans largest mosque as part of a grand funeral procession, while in parliament, members chanted death to america. In neighboring iraq, lawmakers and parliament voted to kick out all foreign troops, a move that could spell the end of americas military presence in iraq. Todays decision was rushed through after the u. S. Air strike outside baghdads airport. But for iraqis, the source of anger isnt the killings of soleimani but rather Shiite Militia commander muhandis, says an iraqi politician. Do you think if Qasem Soleimani was the only person killed, that iraq wouldnt have been as angry . De oh, definitely. Aq te qasemfi nisoleimani. Some believe he is a hero. Some believe he is a thug. Reporter the unitestatesam r killing an American Contractor that sparked off a series of retaliatory attacks. Why isnt there outrage when the americans are being attacked . Yes, there was anger. But the reply was in proportion to the attack. To be honest, many people were very embarrassed by the attack on the american bases. Reporter in lebanon, hezbollah leader hassan nasrula promised america will pay the price for killing him. Many fear a war is coming. Are you afraid that iraq will become the battleground between the United States and iran . The major threat that we all feel here in iraq as a politicians, as officials, and as a population of iraq, that the americans are using iraq to turn it into a battlefield. Reporter both the u. S. And iran say they dont want a war, but a war is what they may get. Tonight we just heard multiple explosions. We understand five to six rockets fell around the green zone, one injuring an iraqi family while two fell near the u. S. Embassy. Elaine . All right, ian lee, thank you. President trump returns to the white house tonight, wrapping up his winter vacation in florida.

Reporter after a twoweek stay at his florida resort, President Trump returned to washington this afternoon where he faces the political fallout from an unprecedented strike against iran. We made the right decision to take out this terrorist. Reporter secretary of state mike pompeo hit the sunday show circuit today defending the administrations action. There was sound and just and legal reason for the actions the president took. Reporter last night, the president tweeted a warning that if iran strikes any american interests, the u. S. Has targeted 52 iranian sites that will be hit very fast and very hard. Pompeo also left open the possibility of targeting other iranian leaders. Does this mean other iranian leaders are now potential u. S. Targets . Were going do everything required to keep the American People safe. That sounds like a yes. Reporter democratic senator chris murphy is among the lawmakers calling for the administration to prove that take out irans top military leader will prevent attacks rather than inspire them. We do not generally execute sovereign nations, in part because we know that opens a pandoras box that may expose american officials to assassination, but also because we know ultimately that might get more americans killed. Reporter concerns echoed by Senate Minority leader chuck schumer. We do not need this president either bumbling or impulsively getting us into a major war. Cbs news has learned that senator Lindsey Graham, one of the president s closest allies, will urge the president to lay out a path to deescalation with iran. Elaine, graham was here in florida where the president earlier this week insists he wants the president to be seen as strong but ultimately reasonable. Paula reid, thank you. And iran threatens to retaliate for soleimanis killing, a former commander of the revolutionary guard says israel will be targeted. Seth doane is in tel aviv. Seth, what is israel doing to prepare . Israel knows its a target and they have boosted troop reinforcements on the northern border with syria and lebanon. Just across that border are a number of militant groups backed by iran, including hezbollah. And today we heard hezbollahs leader claim that it was israel that pushed the u. S. To kill Qasem Soleimani. Soleimani had been on military intelligence radar here in israel for some time. He was a formidable foe. And today Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu commended President Trump for taking out soleimani. We spoke with amos yadlin who was a former military intelligence chief here in israel. He told us he believes that the most likely targets would be u. S. Base, embassies, an ambassadorer a general. But elaine, he said he believes iran does not want allout war. Seth doane, thank you.

Al shabaab militants struck manda airfield near nairobi, a base shared by u. S. And kenyan forces. Smoke rose from an airstrip, and the fighting continued for hours. Officials say u. S.

At least 60 others were hurt. State Police Called it a Chain Reaction crash. It happened near mt. Pleasant about 40 miles southeast of pittsburgh. Nearly 100 miles of the highway were closed in both directions. Hours later, there was a second deadly crash less than 15 miles away. As hilary lane reports, it all began early this morning on icy roads. Reporter a tour bus carrying passengers from new jersey to ohio collided with three tractortrailers and a Passenger Car. Officials say the victims range in age between 7 and 60 years old. We have several people that were transported to area hospitals. We believe its around 60 total. Reporter state police say the accident happened at around 3 40 in the morning. A z d tour bus leaving from rockaway, new jersey and headed to cincinnati lost control on the pennsylvania turnpike near pittsburgh. It set off a Chain Reaction. It was headed on a downhill grade and the bus was unable to negotiate a corner. That bus went up an embankment, rolled over and was subsequently struck by two tractortrailers, another tractortrailer came and collided with those two tractortrailers, and there was another Passenger Car that was also involved in this crash. Reporter the tour bus flipped on to its side. A fed ex truck separated from its cab. One Passenger Car was seen pinned between two other delivery trucks. Police say many of the passengers on the tour bus do not speak english. We are working with the red cross. They are actually at the scene of the hospital, working with the different problems that come into play when it comes to finding housing, reconnecting loved ones. Reporter also this morning, less than 15 miles away another crash on i70. That accident left a paramedic dead. Officials say he was struck and killed while responding to an accident on the highway. Police want to know if weather was a factor in both deadly accidents. The impact of that first crash was so severe, police are having trouble identifying the victims. We have reached out to z d tours but havent heard back. Elaine . Hilary, thank you. Congress returns to work tomorrow still locked in a standoff over how to proceed with President Trumps impeachment trial. Today a top defender of the president detailed a new way to move forward. Nicole killian is in washington. My goal is to start this trial in the next coming days. Reporter Senate Judiciary chairman Lindsey Graham says the senate should move forward with the trial even without articles of impeachment from the house. But if we dont get the articles this week, then we need to take matters in our own hands and change the rules, deem them be delivered to the senate so we can start the trial. Article i is adopted. Reporter last month the house voted to impeach the president on abuse of power and obstruction of congress, but House Speaker nancy pelosi has not sent the articles to the senate and has called on the gopled chamber to ensure a trial. If the president is acquitted through a sham trial through, a mock trial where there are no witnesses, where everything is covered up, that will not be that will not stand him well with the American People. Reporter Democratic Leaders say new evidence has come to light, and they want to hear from witnesses, including the president s acting chief of staff Mick Mulvaney and former National Security adviser john bolton, and they insist a trial can be conducted while also addressing the developing crisis with iran. I think our system is Strong Enough that we can do both. As for senator grahams proposal, a senior democratic aide tells cbs it would be unfair and undemocratic. Keep in mind any change to the impeachment rules require 67 votes in the senate or a twothirds majority. Elaine . Nicole killian, thank you. The Democratic Candidates were out in force today with the Iowa Caucuses just 29 days away. Our new cbs news poll shows that while 14 remain in the race, iowa voters seem most interested in just five of them.

Ed okeefe is on the ground in davenport, iowa. Reporter the 2020 race remains unsettled. In addition to a tie in iowa, Bernie Sanders and joe biden are on top in New Hampshire followed by Elizabeth Warren and Pete Buttigieg. Warren had been in a stronger position in the fall. Im Elizabeth Warren. Im running for president. Reporter fi of theandidates have yet t convince a majority of iowa or New Hampshire primary voters that he or she could defeat President Trump. Thats important because in the last year democrats have consistently told us theyre most concerned about finding the candidate they believe can defeat the president. President trump has no authority toe take us to a military conflict with iran, period. Reporter throughout the weekend, Foreign Policy has dominated the conversation gwynn the recent killing of iranian general Qasem Soleimani. Democrats agree he was a ruthless terrorist, but also shared concerns about whether the president has a strategy to deal with the potential fallout across the middle east. What its done has moved this country closer to war. We are not safer today than we were before donald trump acted. Just because he deserved it doesnt mean it was the right strategic move. Reporter less than a month remains until the iowa caucus, a critical contest for democrats, because whoever wins here usually wins the nomination. In the coming days, candidates like joe biden and Pete Buttigieg will continue campaigning here in iowa and fundraising across the country. But the five senators running for president , like Elizabeth Warren here tonight have to stay closer to washington to see when and if that impeachment trial ever begins. Elaine .

Tensions remain high in the middle east and around the world after the assassination of irans top general. Qasem soleimani was killed in a drone strike at Baghdad Airport on orders of President Trump. The Iraqi Parliament voiced its outrage, voting to expel all 5200 u. S. Troops from the country, and iran said it will no longer abide by terms of the 2015 International Nuclear deal. President trump pulled the u. S. Out of the treaty, but iran continued to operate within its terms. So who is Qasem Soleimani and why would his death spark such anger . Here is seth doane.

Targets in tel aviv are within irans reach. Chants of death to the u. S.

Very close. Reporter amos yadlin is a former chief of Israeli Military intelligence. You could see him in any place that iran tried to change the regime or to have a terror attack. You could see him in lebanon with hezbollah, in syria fighting for assad, in iraq killing american soldiers, and in yemen firing rockets to saudi arabia. Reporter yadlin told us he thinks iran is considering three options for retaliation, a strike on the United States, which is risky, on an american ally like saudi arabia or united arab emirates, or israel, but ultimately he thinks iran does not want allout war, though many in the region feel we are now closer to one.

The singer sat down with Bob Schieffer to discuss her life and music. Reporter on a cold and rainy december sunday outside northern virginias music hall, the sellout crowd was lining up five hours before show time. How about you guys . Reporter some earlier. Weve been here since 7 00 this morning and we were first. Reporter and theyre inside tanya tucker was doing what she has been doing since she was nine years old, getting ready to put on a show. Reporter after more than 50 years on stage, she is up this month for not just one, but four grammy nominations. More than any other country singer. Has it sunk in yet . I dont really think so. Its great to be nominated, but it would be nice to win one too. In her younger days they called her delta dawn slow reporter you likely know her hit. Since the ripe old age of 13, shes had nearly two dozen top 40 albums. Thank for all the number one songs, you know, that youve given me. Hell, i like the number tens. Reporter she became country musics wild child with a personal life that has often grabbed more attention than her music. I bring my flowers now while im living reporter but her latest album has made her the critics darling, and its her music that is making headlines again. Well, i got to tell you. I got my marching orders here. Im told do not ask her how she likes this comeback, because you say its not a comeback. So what is it . Gosh, lik word relaunch. Reporter relaunch . Yeah, relaunch. It wasnt something that i had really planned out. It really just kind of happened. Reporter isnt that always the best way when something just sort of happens . Well, of course. You make plans and god chuckles when you start making plans. Reporter god only knows how oil field rough neck jesse bo tucker recognized the potential in his youngest daughter, tanya born 1958 in seminole, texas. But by age 9, she knew what she wanted, and her father was with her all the way. I was ready then, but they just werent ready for me. My dad always said youre a 9yearold girl. So that means youre going to have to put twice as much feeling in that song youre singing because he said theyre not going to believe a 9yearold kid sing. You aint woman enough to take my man reporter in 1970, she landed an audience with legendary nashville producer billy sherrill, still hot after his success with Tammy Wynettes stand by your man. Sherrill wanted tanya to record an age appropriate song called the happiest girl in the whole usa. She was set on another. It started out shes 41 and her daddy still called her baby. I said that is my song. Shes 41 and her daddy still calls her baby all the folks around brownsville say shes crazy reporter delta dawn is sung from the point of view of a middle age faded beauty. Billy sherrill heard bette midler sing it on the tonight show, yet somehow he saw fit to offer it to tucker. Delta dawn, whats that flower you have on, could it be a faded rose from days gone by and did i hear you say he was a meeting you here today, to take you to his mansion in the sky reporter it is just one of the alltime greats. In her younger days reporter the lyrics seemed so improbable coming from a 13yearold, that the record label tried to keep tanyas age a secret. That didnt last long, and as the hits rolled in, so did the money. The little girl with the big girls voice took on some grownup habit, drinking, drugs, and romance. Do you think in any way any of that hurt your career . You know, it could have. It probably did in some ways. But in a way i dont think you can be successful unless youve had a lot of failures. And ive had some. Reporter the same can be said for her love life. Though she was never married, she has raised her three children as a single mother and made no apologies for it. Throughout the 1980s, she carried on a Public Affair with glen campbell, who was more than two decades her senior. It was the kind of love that i think i probably found it too soon in life and was not mature enough at that time. I think if wed met later on, we would have made it. Because it was love there. Like two sparrows in a hurricane reporter thats just the sort of feeling you hear in our songs, the emotion that has always cut through the tabloid headlines.

The rodeo is an old mans dreams reporter as it turns out, two of tuckers biggest fans would help compose this latest chapter in her life story. Wants to be an introwith shooter on the piano. Reporter in 2018, producer shooter jennings, the son of Waylon Jennings regarded singer songwriter Brandi Carlile to write new material for tucker. But its a song that carlisle has been trying to put on paper for decades that would with carlisles help. Though its been time, tears and money in my old breathless body if youre heart is in them flowers, bring em on. It kind of chokes me up just hearing you sing it. Because it makes you think of the times that that youd wished you told somebody. Absolutely. Its caused me to make a real effort to try to tell those that i love that i do love them. And even some of those that i dont, you know . And even though one day theyll bury me and jesse ray reporter bring my flowers now is the sound of a more reflective tanya tucker. At age 61 here in franklin, tennessee, she surrounds herself with the people and the animals she loves. Hows my baby boy. Jenin is going to go in the box with me, and of course his daddy who is in a small box. I want an extra big box. Ill have five dogs and two horses. Were going to be together forever. When i die, i may not go to heaven. Reporter tanya tucker has packed a lot of living in her time on earth. Tanya tucker reporter since she was a little girl, her voice has been her ticket. Delta dawn, whats that flower you have on reporter and her voice has never had more to offer than it does today. Lord knows im a hard luck girl my dad always told me you know how to change the world . He said you build your platform, you know . You build it, build it, build it until you cant build it any higher, you cant get no higher. And thats when you can change the world, because then people will listen to you. Thats the thing. Want to not just be another female on this planet. I want to change a lot of things. Reporter well, i think youre going toe change people when you remind them to bring the flowers now. And thats just another way of saying show me you love me now. Dont hesitate. The halls of many colleges and universities are adorned with paintings of School President s, big money donors and famous alumni. But a princeton university, a gallery of portraits presents campus workers as the heroes they are. Adriana diaz has the story from her alma mater. Okay, the first two orders are up. Reporter at princeton university, the most popular man on campus. Here you go, sir. Reporter may be howard sutphin, who has worked in dining 22 years. Can i have a twoegg omelette with everything . Everybody knows howard. Thats true. Reporter thats because he is a staple at princeton games. Every game or every sport i go to, its like bumblebees. They come right to me, and i love it. I love it. Reporter how many times have you come here to look at this . Ah, i dont want to say. Reporter but now he is off the sidelines and center stage in portraits by visiting art fellow mario moore. These people are some of the most important people on campuses that deserve to be seen and seen on the walls in the same way as these figures historically have been seen at institutions. Reporter so now graduate James Madison and princeton president s are joined by guy packwood, a princeton security guard, garfield brown, a groundskeeper, and sutphin, kaneisha long and Valerie Sykes from dining. The majority of the people you see in dining and facilities are african americans. For me as a student, these are the people they connected with. When they need some advice or a motherly figure, a nice hug, you know, theyll come and look for either me or howard to talk to them. I figure theyre away from home and they need love. And i tell them, you know, when youre in the dining area, just relax, eat your food. Assume the minute you leave here, jump back into that book. Reporter youre creating a legacy for people who are so often in the background. For sure. And i think it was a really important for it to be at princeton because of the history of princeton. Reporter that history includes slaves who worked at the president s house for decades, and woodrow wilson, who blocked black student enrollment as princetons president and oversaw segregationist policies as u. S. President. These portraits are working to create a new legacy. I was wondering how i can be here after i retire, but thats going to be here after i retire, because the school has purchased it. Uhhuh. Repor what does that mean to you . Love. Thats love. All the years i g love, i got it back in that. Reporter love that will now live on. Adriana diaz, cbs news, princeton, new jersey.
