( gunshot ) the men said they thought arbery was a burglary suspect, and shot him in self-defense. police arrested the shooter, travis mcmichael, his father, gregory mcmichael, and their neighbor, william roddie bryan, the man who recorded the video. >> i'm hoping that, even though we have 11 whites and one black, that they will be able to review all evidence and come out with a guilty verdict. >> reporter: this trial is expected to last several weeks. the mcmichaels and roddie bryan are also facing federal hate crime charges in a case that will head to court early next year. norah. >> o'donnell: omar villafranca, thank you. well, tonight, there's promising news about a vaccine aimed at preventing cervical cancer, which kills more than 4,000 women in the u.s. every year. researchers in britain say the rate of cervical cancer in women who were vaccinated between the ages of 12 and 13 was 87% lower than it was among women who were not vaccinated. let's bring in cbs news' chief medical correspondent, dr. jon lapook. and, jon, h.p.v., i mean, it is the most commonly sexually transmitted infection. so, how important is it to get this vaccine? >> it's very important. and as you point out, norah, it's extremely prevalent type of infection. fortunately, about 90% of the time, the infection resolves on its own, but in that other 10%, the virus can stay inside you and end up causing cancer. so the hypothesis was, well, if you could prevent that virus in the first place, you could prevent cervical cancer from developing, and in fact, they're showing today, in fact, it does. >> o'donnell: wow, a-- a vaccine that prevents cancer. it's just terrific. and of course, the h.p.v. vaccine recommended for children at ages 11, or 12, even as young as nine. what's the idea behind giving it so early? >> well, there are two reasons. one thing is, it's not a treatment, it's a prevention. so you have to give it before somebody is sexually active. and also, it turns out that this vaccine works better, it elicits a stronger immune response, when given at a younger age. and it's not just for girls, norah, it's for boys, too. boys can not only get infected and spread it to girls, but they themselves can develop cancer of the tongue, of the tonsils, and of the genital region. so, imagine that. we have all these vaccines that can prevent these deadly childhood illnesses, and now we have a vaccine that can prevent cancer. >> o'donnell: researchers calling this historic. dr. jon lapook, thank you. and, it's still autumn, but for 30 million people from oklahoma to washington, d.c., it feels more like winter. tonight, frost alerts are posted for many places. that will mean the end of the growing season. temperatures are running 10 to 15 degrees below normal for this time of year. warmer weather is expected this weekend. all right, tonight, nearly ten months into joe biden's presidency, his "build back better" plan, unveiled before his inauguration, appears to be headed for a vote in the house. let's get the latest now from cbs's kris van cleave on capitol hill. all right, kris, there's been some movement?

tuition-free community college, clean energy standards, as well as expanding medicare to cover dental and vision. immigration reform remains kind of a question mark. negotiations are ongoing. speaker pelosi added back family leave-- that's something that west virginia senator joe manchin opposes, so it's becoming very clear, whenever it is the senate gets this bill, they're going to change it. norah. >> o'donnell: kris van cleave,be going to change i thank you so much. well, a texas real estate agent who took a private plane to the january 6th riot, and bragged that she wouldn't go to jail for storming the capitol because, in her words, she's "white, blonde, and has a good job," well, she was sentenced to two months in jail today. jennifer ryan was also hit with $1,500 in fines. after the deadly riot, ryan posted that it was "one of the best days of her life." in court today, she apologized, saying, "this is not anything that remotely resembles who i am." so far, approximately 650 people have been charged for involvement in the riot. okay, tonight, a warning from the f.a.a.: get unruly on a plane, and you could face, not just a fine, but criminal prosecution. that's right. 37 cases were submitted to the netted to the f.b.i. for criminal review. that's out of more than 5,000 incidents of bad behavior reported this year. many cases involved face mask regulations, and this week, prosecutors charged a california man with punching a flight attendant in the face during an american airlines flight just last month. okay, we're going to turn now to the largest resettlement of refugees in this country since the fall of saigon in 1975. tonight, more than 50,000 refugees from afghanistan are awaiting resettlement. 14,000, including many children, are starting new lives here in the u.s. cbs's natalie brand tells us one family's story. >> reporter: the ramazani siblings appear completely at ease living with their extended family in texas... >> it's beautiful. >> yeah, beautiful. >> reporter: ...a world away from the pain and trauma theyut. beautiful. >> reporter: a world away from the pain and left behind in afghanistan. hajar is the oldest of the four, injured by an i.e.d. as a child. their mother was killed during the attack on the kabul airport in late august, as they tried to flee. she says the situation was horrible, and tries not to remember it. the children came to houston in early september, the same airport where their cousin, dave ali, arrived as a refugee at age 13. >> at first, it was not easy for us, because i didn't know the culture or the language. i was just like them. >> o'donnell: ali and his siblings, now paying it forward to the next generation. you don't have children yourself. >> no, i don't. >> reporter: now, suddenly, you have four. >> yes, i have four big ones. >> reporter: the children arrive with just a few belongings. everything in here is new. >> yeah. >> reporter: new experiences. >> wow. >> reporter: from makeovers and a first laptop, to school-- a first for hajar, who didn't go in afghanistan. new classes, in a new language. what's your favorite?
