neither side is backing down. also tonight, new strikes. u.s. forces hit militants targeting ships in the red sea. charlie dis hunting. they were hunting shafts from underground facilities. plus, punishing storms. a new system set in the west. anchors away, the world s largest cruise ship leaves miami. reporter: the largest cruise ship in the world is setting sail. and later causing a stir. an american lands in hot water in britain over how to make that perfect cup of tea. you can add a pinch of salt to remove some of the bitterness. rubbish. %. this is the cbs weekend news from washington with adriana diaz. good evening. thank you for joining us. adriana is off. tonight, we re getting a sense o what could be the longest general election campaign in history. president biden is in south carolina. the first time democrats are beginning their primaries in the south and the first opponent is in nevada where republicans hold their next contest. it s the first
alleged that biden accepted a million dollars bribe from a ukrainian oligarch, the owner ,burisma, and 83% of voters in the new harvard harris poll believe that the fbi should make that file public. now, it s not just the scandals either, because biden s approval numbers on the issues that matter most to people, well, they re upside down in every category. 62% of the country say we re on the wrong track as well. so if america has a car, the dashboard lights are all flashing red now on edge about the future. the american people know that this really isn t the same country they grew up in since the george floyd riots. young people believe that they can wreak havoc with no consequences as they did the juneteenth holiday weekend in l.a.. oh, more on other weekend celebrations later in the show . now, meanwhile, as the chaos unfolds here, our beloved president can barely speak without some verbal interlude. all right. god save the queen man or find his way off the stage with

these charges also paint a picture of a man who is and ui can t stress this enough, so cool was prime time long about hunter king in the castle. in the castle? have a chill. i have a two american dictatorship. what would that looke. like?ould that looke. trust should not be doled out easily to anyone, especially white people. the obama movie, anti-white plus mother of guy. : when when i was a little boy growing up, i held ie igh american institutions in very high esteem. esi were the good guys. i thought the boy scouts were a wholesome organization. i thought the catholic church was pristinehurch . but as i entered adulthood, year after year, it begad year s to dawn on me that nothing is sacred anymore. the peopld e and the placesde i revered let me down. itown. doesn t make me cynical. it makes me a realist.no now, i m notw, out to tear down american institutions. that s the last thing i want . these institutions are tearing themselves down. hollywoo.ese instd turn
