For others check back later for the morning news and cbs this morning. York city, im scott pelley. Announcer this is the cbs overnight news. Welcome to the cbs overnight news, im michelle miller. We are three days away from a key racen the marathon run for the white house. The republican president ial candidates will compete this saturday in the first in the south primary in South Carolina. Frontrunner donald trump and jeb bush continue to trade jabs on the campaign trail, now bush has added a political heavyweight to his corner. Former president george w. Bush. Jeb bushs campaign is counting on the 43rd president to give his brother a much needed boost. Here is major garrett. Self imposed political exile and drew the biggest most enthusiastic crowd in South Carolina. By itself the upbeat rally cannot reverse jeb bushs fortunes, running third or fourth. The event did take the edge off a nasty day of primary politicking. I think the voters should vote for the candidate who has got the most opinionated mother. Former president george w. Bush came to South Carolina on a rescue mission for brother jeb. In my experience, the strongest person usually isnt the loudest one in the room. George bush made a mistake. Reporter recent attacks by g. O. P. Frontrunner, donald trump on the former president s 9 11 leadership had jeb playing defense. He didnt know that 9 11 was going to happen. He rolled up his sleeves.

Reporter trump drove home his criticism at a glitzy primetime rally. Everything now is an offchute of the decision. Reporter during the afternoon press conference, donald trump said bush overlooked warnings and mismanaged intelligence before 9 11. Was it negligence on the part of president bush . I dont say anything. The World Trade Center came down the bush family was not Donald Trumps only target. I think ted is an unstable guy. I have never seen anybody that lied as much as ted cruz. Well bring a lawsuit if he doesnt straighten his act out. Ted cruz appeared unfazed. You cannot simply scream liar when somebody points out the actual position of donald trump. Reporter amipd thed the ever nasery campaign, the brothers bush reunited to build momentum. I love my brother the i am happy that he came to do this. Reporter after the rally, president bush told me he loved hitting the campaign trail. And likes jebs chances here in South Carolina. Meanwhile, trump said he again might run as independent if he doesnt secure the gop nomination. He also said that he might sue ted cruz over eligibility to run for the woumshite house. One of the differences between jeb bush and donald trump is their positions on immigration. Trump called for the deportation of all illegal immigrants. Bush wants to give undocumented workers a path towards legal status. Jeb bushs approach is tempered in part by experience as governor of florida which has the the Third Largest hispanic population in the country.

Senate republicans want to delay replacing scalia for nearly a year so the next president can make the choice. But today, mr. Obama said he plans to follow the constitution. Historically this has not been viewed as a question. There is no unwritten law that says that it can only be done on off years. Thats not in the constitutional text.

Scott, tornados here are not rare. Forecasters say because of el nino, south florida could get more tornados like today well into march. David begnaud thanks.

Californians were expecting this. Nonstop rain storms fueled by one of the largest el ninos on record. But after heavy rain last month. Southern california is on a hot and dry streak. It has been 15 days since a drop of rain fell in los angeles. Nasa climatologist bill pastert called the massive band of warm water in a godzilla el nino predicted to drench drought ravaged california. Is this godzilla more bark than bite . El nino remains immense. It has the had a powerful impact over the last six months. Even this winter, all of the volatile weather we have had across the united states, the fingerprint of el nino is on all these events. Reporter turns out the el nino is so big it shifted the allowing storms to batter Northern California and Pacific North west. Rain soaked cliffs near san ancisco have been dropping into the ocean.

Spring snow melt will help fill the states depleted reservoirs and 30 of californias water the temperature hit 90 here today in los angeles. That is a new record for this date. But forecasters say they still expect those el nino rains and cooler temperatures to hit los will happen in the next couple of weeks. Ben tracy for us tonight. Ben, thank you.

Malepota makaras crops have failed. It is painful, says 9yearold, to go to School Without food. This drought his grandmother explains is more severe than i have ever seen. Makara knows instinctively what experts have confirmed. This is the strongest el nino on record in Southern Africa delaying the rains and putting 14 Million People at risk of starvation. A pitiful burst of rain in recent days coaxed out some greenery. Come too late. This should be lesothos rainy season. Normally i wouldnt be able to stand here, because i would be waist highen water. Instead the riverbed is bone dry. U. N. Humanitarian coordinator is worried at what is ahead .

Don dahler, cbs news, new york. Thats the cbs overnight news for this wednesday. For some, the news continues. For others check back later for the morning news and cbs this morning. From the Broadcast Center in new york city, im scott pelley. Overnight news. Announcer this is the cbs overnight news. Welcome to the cbs overnight news, im michelle miller. We are three days away from a key race in the marathon run for the white house. The republican president ial candidates will compete this saturday in the first in the south primary in South Carolina. Frontrunner donald trump and jeb bush continue to trade jabs on the campaign trail, now bush has added a political heavyweight to his corner. Former president george w. Bush. Jeb bushs campaign is counting on the 43rd president to give his brother a much needed boost. Here is major garrett. Self imposed political exile and drew the biggest most enthusiastic crowd in South Carolina. By itself the upbeat rally cannot reverse jeb bushs fortunes, running third or fourth. The event did take the edge off a nasty day of primary politicking. I think the voters should vote for the candidate who has got the most opinionated mother. Former president george w. Bush came to South Carolina on a rescue mission for brother jeb. In my experience, the strongest person usually isnt the loudest one in the room. George bush made a mistake. Reporter recent attacks by g. O. P. Frontrunner, donald trump on the former president s 9 11 leadership had jeb playing defense. He didnt know that 9 11 was going to happen. He rolled up his sleeves. He inspired us. Why do you mention jeb bush . He is not competitive. His brother came today. They have a thing. Dont think it will happen. Reporter trump drove home his criticism at a glitzy primetime rally. Everything now is an offchute of the decision. Reporter during the afternoon press conference, donald trump said bush overlooked warnings and mismanaged intelligence before 9 11. Was it negligence on the part i dont say anything. The World Trade Center came down the bush family was not Donald Trumps only target. I think ted is an unstable guy. I have never seen anybody that lied as much as ted cruz. Well bring a lawsuit if he doesnt straighten his act out. Ted cruz appeared unfazed. You cannot simply scream liar when somebody points out the actual position of donald trump. Reporter amid the ever nasery campaign, the brothers bush reunited to build momentum. Happy that he came to do this. Reporter after the rally, president bush told me he loved hitting the campaign trail. And likes jebs chances here in South Carolina. Meanwhile, trump said he again might run as independent if he doesnt secure the gop nomination. He also said that he might sue d cruz over eligibility to run r the white house. One of the differences tween jeb bush and donald trump is their positions on immigration. Trump called for the deportation of all illegal immigrants. Bush wants to give undocumented workers a path towards legal status. Jeb bushs approach is tempered in part by experience as governor of florida which has the the Third Largest hispanic population in the country. Many cuban refugees are trading miami for a different entry point into the u. S. Mark strassmann shows us why. Reporter every day, cubans cross this border bridge from mexico into laredo, texas.

But now theyre afraid the thawing of diplomatic relations will end that special protection. She says how was i supposed to get here if they change the law . It would have been impossible . Most cuban refugees no longer try to reach miami on make shift rafts. Capture and the currents are risky. They now fly to a latin American Country like ecuador. Then spend months making a 2,000 mile trip on land through half dozen countries before reaching the texas border. 51,000 arrived here last year. 68 of them through laredo. Whole transnational human smuggling operation. Jorge studies human migration patterns at Florida International university. Very well organized. Second most profitable illegal network after the legally trade business. Most head to miami. At this Refugee Resettlement office. We met andres hernandez. His trip here from cuba, took eight months.
