This is going to impact 170 million americans who use our app. Reporter hes personally attempting to stop a possible ban after the house passed a bill on wednesday that would mandate tiktok separate from its Chinese Parent Company it would have to sell to a u. S. Buyer to avoid a ban. Today former treasury secretary in the Trump Administration, Steven Mnuchin, says he wants to buy it. I understand the technology. Its a great business, and im going to put together a group to buy tiktok. Youre trying to buy tiktok . I am because it should be owned by u. S. Businesses. Reporter but that may not even be possible. Lets say all of these things come together, and a sale is poised. The Chinese Government could very well stop it. Its unclear if the algorithm, you know, is something that could even be exported to another country. Reporter if tiktok is banned the way it would work is the app just wouldnt be updated. It would be removed from stores, and it would degrade over time. This is not just an attack on freedom of speech. This is an attack on small businesses.

Spacexs massive new starship blasted off from texas today. It didnt go exactly as planned, but cbss kris van cleave explains why spacex considers the test a giant leap forward. Three, two reporter the most powerful rocket ever built blasted off this morning. It was spacexs third test of its enormous 397foottall superheavy starship rocket.

Getting startship up into space and beginning reentry, clejting all that data is a huge step forward for them. Reporter cbs space analyst bill harwood. Theyre trying to do something no one has ever even attempted, and the fact they lost the starship on reentry, i dont view that as very significant as all. In the third test flight, theyre going to collect enough data from this to figure out how to fix that down the road. Reporter a step closer to human boots on the moon with many more still ahead.

I was crying all day yesterday because i wanted to be home, and i cant. Announcer this is the cbs overnight news. Good evening. Im norah odonnell, and thank you for being with us. We begin tonight with more than 40 million americans under threat from two major storm systems. Heavy snow is falling across the rockies with three feet already on the ground in parts of colorado, causing travel nightmares at the airports and on the roads. Hundreds of flights at Denver International airport were canceled today, and more severe and dangerous weather is sweeping across the middle of the country today with several tornadoes touching down in kentucky and indiana. This funnel cloud was spotted over a small town in kentucky. Communities are surveying the aftermath with downed trees and severely damaged homes and businesses. Now, that same system is moving east with more than a dozen states under Severe Weather threats tonight from dallas to indianapolis with thunderstorms, damaging hail, and more tornadoes in the forecast. Cbss dave malkoff will start us off tonight with more on these lifethreatening storms. Tornado on the ground. Reporter tonight the Severe Weather threat keeps growing in the midwest with multiple tornadoes touching down in indiana. In hanover, a tornado ripped through homes, causing roofs to collapse, knocking down trees and power lines. Total destruction, the inside, everything. Reporter in madison, another tornado crossed the ohio river. Video shows debris spinning in the air. In milton, kentucky, at least 100 structures were damaged after a tornado touched down.

I came here to ski. Our flight got canceled. We rented a car, came up here, tried to get to steamboat, but unfortunately the blizzard set us in. And we were lucky enough to get a place to stay here. Reporter the snow also causing more than 800 Flight Cancellations at Denver International airport. At this blustery exit in golden, colorado, there are hundreds of people from all over the country who are just simply stuck here. And, norah, all of this snow, every single last flake of it, has fallen since 10 00 p. M. Last night. Wow. Dave malkoff, thank you so much. Now to a political rebuke causing shock waves from washington to tel aviv. The top democrat in the senate and the highestranking jewish elected official is slamming israels Prime Minister, calling for new elections to replace benjamin netanyahu. Cbss Scott Macfarlane reports senator Chuck Schumer is now facing some backlash following this senate floor speech. Reporter nearly half a year into the war between israel and hamas, majority leader Chuck Schumer, one of congress staunchest supporters of israel, uncorked a blistering criticism of the israeli leader. Prime minister netanyahu has lost his way. Reporter in a 40minute address on the senate floor, schumer called for new elections and new israeli leadership. He has been too willing to tolerate the civilian toll in gaza, which is pushing support for israel worldwide to historic lows. Reporter schumers words come amid growing concerns among democrats and potential democratic voters about israels aggressive military response to the october 7th attack by hamas and netanyahus resistance to let more humanitarian aid into gaza. More than 31,000 palestinians have died, and gaza is on the brink of famine. President biden has voiced his own frustration with netanyahu but has never called to replace him. White house officials who knew in advance what schumer would say have expressed deep concern about israels plans to conduct a Ground Invasion of the crowded city of rafah. Israels ambassador to the u. S. Called schumers comments unhelpful and said israel is a sovereign democracy. This is not only highly inappropriate, its just plain wrong. Reporter while Congressional Republicans blasted schumer for undercutting a u. S. Ally. It is grotesque and hypocritical for americans who hyperventilate about foreign interference in our own democracy to call for the removal of a democratically elected leader of israel. Reporter tonight theres still uncertainty about the fate of hostages being held in gaza, including five americans. Prime minister netanyahu has rejected the latest ceasefire proposal from hamas, arguing its based on unrealistic demands. Norah. Scott macfarlane, thank you very much. Vice president Kamala Harris today became the first sitting Vice President or president to visit an abortion clinic. The Biden Campaign hopes that by putting reproductive rights front and center this election cycle, it will motivate voters to go to the polls. Cbss nancy cordes reports tonight from minnesota. Reporter the Vice President made history with a halfhour private tour of an unassuming spot, a planned parenthood clinic in st. Paul. The reason im here is because this is a health care crisis. Reporter the clinic has seen a 25 surge in abortions since two neighboring states, along with several others, enacted full abortion bans. And, doctor, please. Reporter dr. Sarah traxler is the chief medical officer. Our new abortion landscape is difficult. It is dangerous, and it is putting my patients and Health Care Providers at severe risk. Reporter the visit was the last stop for the v. P. In a sixstate swing that has been solely focused on reproductive rights. These extremists, theyre trying to take women back to the 1800s. We must restore the protections of roe. Reporter the issue is a top focus for the Biden Campaign, and heres why. 57 of americans say the overturning of roe v. Wade nearly two years ago was mostly bad for the country. Minnesota governor tim walz. Is this the most animating issue for democrats in your state right now . Well, its one of them. I think people are passionate. Were passionate people. We vote in very high numbers. But i think at the end of the day, its the one that is most personal and feels the most threatening, and its the one thats real. Reporter donald trump, who attended a hearing in his classified documents case today, has strategically declined to say if he backs the 15week National Abortion ban favored by some republicans. You have to win elections. Otherwise, youre going to be back where you were, and you cant let that ever happen again. Reporter we got some legal news today in another one of the four criminal cases that trump is currently facing. The manhattan d. A. Offered a 30day delay in a trial that was supposed to get under way in just a couple of weeks. Now, this is the case that has to do with hush money payments that were allegedly made to adult film star stormy daniels. The defense wants 90 days to review tens of thousands of pages of new documents that were just handed over to them. Norah. Nancy cordes, thank you for that update.

Thanks for staying with us. The u. S. And jordan conducted their tenth air drop of food into gaza thursday, where hundreds of thousands are on the brink of starvation. Israel says it plans to tell the 1. 4 million displaced palestinians in Southern Gaza to head north and seek shelter ahead of a planned military offensive. Gazas Health Ministry estimated more than 31,000 palestinians have been killed, and its been the deadliest conflict for journalists in the past 30 years. Cbss Holly Williams has more on the risks theyre taking to cover this important story, and we want to caution that some of the images in her report are graphic. Reporter if you think this looks crazy, youre right. In the aftermath of air strikes in the gaza strip, while others flee, journalists hurtle towards the danger. The israelhamas war is now in its fifth month. We know much less about the destruction and death wreaked in gaza if it werent for these people. Palestinian journalists are risking their lives to get the news out. Many now living in tents with their home under bombardment, some are not neutral observers, ad they dont pretend to be. The situation is undescribable. We saw reporter noor has been reporting without a single day off since the war began. I love my work. I mean i feel like i was born to do it. Reporter shes had to evacuate three times during the conflict and now lives with her colleagues in this cramped space in rafah. Last month, she was able to get permission to send her 6yearold twins, sara and basam, across the border to egypt and made the difficult decision to stay on in gaza and keep reporting. They cant find easily food and water. They cant sleep tight at night. Reporter other journalists had no way of keeping their families safe. Like Al Jazeera Bureau chief why el dak due. He lost his wife and three children. And mohammed al alou, a cameraman for turkish television, who buried four of his young children. This is the deadliest war for journalists in decades. Noor hair azine has been criticized for allegedly supporting militants with social media posts many years ago. Now she says she doesnt take sides. But she told us sometimes she questions whether the world is really paying attention. I feel like ive said enough. Reporter my colleague, mar want al ghoul, is one of the brave palestinian journalists who stayed in gaza to report the news. He filmed most of the report you just watched. Holly williams, cbs news, london. The department of health and Human Services is investigating whats been called the biggest cybersecurity attack on Americas Health care system. Hackers shut down the Payment Processing arm of Unitedhealth Group three weeks ago and may have accessed patients Sensitive Health records. The company says its Pharmacy Network is back online, but many hospitals and practices are still struggling to make ends meet, and the attack has been costing providers an estimated 100 million a day. A Ransomware Attack turned National Health payment crisis. Im christine. Reporter dr. Christine meyer has another way of putting it. Its been one of the most stressful things weve gone through as a practice, and thats saying something given that we survived covid. Reporter the hack targeted change health care, driving the nations biggest held care Payment System offline on february 21st. We cannot submit a single insurance claim, and we cant get any patient payments. This is a problem. Reporter three weeks later, its squeezing the Bank Accounts of hospitals, pharmacies, and practices. At a white house meeting tuesday, health and Human Services secretary Xavier Becerra says he urged Unitedhealth Groups ceo andrew witty to front providers more emergency funds. How are you holding them accountable . Principally were making sure they understand that not only their public reputation is only the line but their operations are on the line because we will not continue to work with a clearinghouse Exchange Operation if it cant provide the payment for the services. Reporter a russianspeaking Ransomware Group known as blackcat has claimed responsibility for the attack and alleges it stole more than six terabytes of data, including sensitive medical records from change. There will be an investigation that occurred, and we will get to the bottom of this. Reporter but dr. Meyer stresses its not just a data problem. Its a patient care problem. Our patients that cant come here for their routine things, their sore throats, their cough, their Blood Pressure checks, where are they going to go . Reporter that could force more patients into already crowded emergency rooms.

Forgettable underarms, unforgettable you. Oh. Stuffed up again . So congested you need sinex saline from vicks. Just sinex, breathe, ahhhh what is wow sinex. Breathe. Ahhhhhh theres a new debate when sitting down with others to watch tv or movies. Closed captioning on or off . David pogue explains why more americans than ever like to read what they watch. Reporter there are a lot of tvs in the pennsylvania household of jason and marilyn mcmunn. We have about ten. We have a lot of tvs. And out of the ten, how often are you watching with subtitles turned on . Pretty much the tvs on, the subtitles are on. Reporter theyre not unusual. Over half of americans keep subtitles turned on some or all of the time, especially younger people. Technically, the term subtitles means translations into your language. [ speaking in a global language ] reporter but these days, people use the word subtitles to refer to closed captions, which were invented to help the hard of hearing. And you, sir, should have surrendered when the empire collapsed. Reporter but the mcmunns hearing is just fine. They keep subtitles on for all kinds of other reasons. The parrot will be screaming. The kids will be doing stuff. Its a little bit of a circus. I found that i was missing things. So with the subtitles it made it a lot easier. Reporter also because were seeing more actors with accents. I like to watch some of the british mystery things, and sometimes theyre hard to understand. Reporter and because thin tvs have thin speakers, usually firing out the back. As a kid at bedtime, rihanna even had a secret reason for turning on subtitles. Id turn the sound all wait down, and i would turn on the subtitles. That way i could watch my youtube videos without getting caught. Reporter but according to the experts, the biggest reason of all for the rise of subtitles is this. Dialogue is getting harder to hear. Reporter oscar winner Tom Fleischmann has mixed the sound for some very famous movies. Its his job to balance the levels of the various audio tracks. He hated phones. He wouldnt have one in his phone. You got rain, you got pop music, you got dialogue. It was a real dance doing this mix. Reporter a dancing technology has made his job harder. Decades ago there was one microphone overhead. With the advent of lapel mics, acting styles have changed. Theres a lot of whispering, you know, when they talk like this. Kids are the only thing that matter, maggie. Theyre the only reason for this whole manwoman drama. Reporter wait. What did he say . Kids are the only thing that matter, maggie. There the only reason for this whole manwoman drama. Reporter the invention of digital sound recording didnt help either. Suddenly we were able to run 200 tracks at once. A lot of layering, a lot of sound effects, a lot of music. It makes it harder to get the dialogue to read through it. Reporter finally, in this era of too much tv, often theres too little time and money. You have to cut corners. You just cant spend enough time making sure every syllable is there in a word. But does it ever happen that you send the final mix off, knowing in the back of your head, well, that one line, no ones going to get . Yeah. Really . Oh, yeah. Yeah. Happens a lot. Well, on behalf of the world, thank you for doing whatever you can do to make this stuff intelligible. Im trying. Im trying. Reporter and then theres the Christopher Nolan problem. And action. Reporter the dialogue in the movies he directs is famously unintelligible, whether its oppenheimer. The implosion test failed. Reporter dunkirk, or the dark knight. Try to bury it. Reporter nolan has said he sometimes likes to use dialogue as a sound effect. So we get this. Streaming Services Like netflix, hulu, and amazon prime began adding captions to all their shows in the 2010s under pressure from the National Association of the deaf. The subtitling profession got a huge boost. I like to watch an episode or a movie through at least once as the playback is continuing, im typing the captions in. Im typing the subtitles in. Im adjusting timing. Reporter jeff tash gay, through a subtitling contractor, writes the captions for netflix shows like stranger things. His exuberant descriptions of sound effects have earned a cult following. Oh, tentacles undulating moistly. There it is, boom this became a viral yeah, it definitely elicited some reactions. So i want to try something. Sure. I would like you to close your eyes. Im going to make some weird noises and i want you to tells me what you would say. Okay. Heres the first noise. Okay. Erratic clattering. Thats good. Heres your second cue. Okay. Furtive wickering. Furtive wickering . Whoo, man, you are a poet. Reporter so now you know why the worlds gone subtitle crazy, because youre in a noisy place. Because you cant understand the actors. Because your speakers are terrible. Because there wasnt time or budget for proper sound mixing. Because the subtitles can add to the storytelling. Because the director was Christopher Nolan. And sometimes because youre hard of hearing. Is there a downside to having the subtitles on . Yeah, i just dont like the interference with the picture. If the subtitles are on, i find myself reading instead of watching and listening. Reporter but otherwise for the mcmunn family, theres no going back. So lets say you win the audio visual lottery, and they buy you fancy surround sound systems for every tv in the house, and the Audio Quality is no longer an issue. You think you would still turn the subtitles on . Yes, i would. I would. I dont think i can stop a new tool is helping Older Americans improve their wellbeing and feel less isolated. Cbss Bradley Blackburn shows us the benefits of Virtual Reality. Im in the cockpit now of the plane, huh . Reporter a little Virtual Reality is having positive effects in the real lives of Older Americans. It brought back memories of my travels, and others have brought back memories of my experience growing up on a farm. Reporter 17 Senior Communities around the country participated in the Stanford University study, spending short bursts of time in Virtual Reality. Nearly 80 of participants felt more positive, and about 60 said they felt less isolated. 83 said it was beneficial to their relationship with caregivers. You could be with a bunch of animals. You could be in paris. You can be in a crowded orchestra. Reporter professor jeremy bay lenson is a coauthor. What we found is that the magic, how happy it makes people, just the novelty of these experiences. It improves peoples mood. It gives them something to talk about. Reporter the study also showed that compared to other Technology Like cell phones, seniors preferred Virtual Reality as a more natural medium. Stimulated virtually every area of my brain. All the senses. Reporter one thing its not meant to do is replace actual human interaction. We still need to think about the challenges of loneliness, and we still need to focus on interacting with our families. What vr does is it just gives you a spark, gives you Something Special to be excited about. Reporter researchers are also investigating how the technology can be used for balance training. I enjoyed that. Thank you. Reporter seniors embracing the Technology Say they cant wait to see what comes next. Bradley blackburn, cbs news, new york. And thats the overnight news for this friday.
