after nichols runs away, hemphill could be heard saying this. >> i hope they stomp his ass. >> reporter: hemphill was not present when officers from the scorpion unit took nichols down a second time. they were seen kicking, punching, and striking him with a baton while he was restrained. nichols died in the hospital three days later. >> everyone needs to see what the memphis police department did to my son. >> get on the ground! >> reporter: during the assault, officers gave nichols a series of conflicting demands. he was told repeatedly to show his hands while the officers were already holding them. >> man, if you don't lay down. >> i am on the ground. >> get on your stomach! >> reporter: and nichols was told to get on the ground while he was already there. >> that was not even policing, what we saw on that videotape. that was a gang of men attacking a 150-pound guy for what appears to be no reason. >> reporter: tonight both paramedics and aieut drove to the scene have been fired, and the shelby county district attorney is considering criminal charges.

jeanine, where ten palestinians were killed and a series of punitive measures announced by israel's new far-right government that would see the houses of palestinian attackers welded shut and their families stripped of their rights. the backdrop for secretary antony blinken's meeting with israel's prime minister benjamin netanyahu couldn't be more tense. >> we're urging all sides now to take urgent steps to restore calm, to de-escalate. >> reporter: as the biden administration tries to contain this latest surge of israeli/palestinian violence, it's also trying to navigate relations with israel's new government, a coalition described as the most extreme right-wing in the country's history. there have been huge street protests over fears democracy could be at risk after plans to put more controls over the judiciary were announced. a protest movement blinken appeared to support. >> the commitment of people in both our countries to make their voices heard, to defend their rights, is one of the unique strengths of our democracies.

>> reporter: blinken's visit was complicated even further after an iranian military facility was targeted with a drone attack. israel has not claimed responsibility, but has previously targeted sites inside iran to prevent archrival tehran from developing nuclear weapons capabilities. now, as secretary blinken prepares to meet with palestinian president mahmoud abbas tomorrow, he called for, quote, urgent steps to stop the violence, violence which has made this the deadliest month here in several years. norah. >> imtiaz tyab, thank you very much. well, a suicide bombing today killed nearly 60 people inside a crowded mosque in pakistan. the attack took place in a compound that houses police headquarters in the city of peshawar. many of the casualties were police officers. more than 150 others were wounded when the roof collapsed. a pakistani taliban commander claimed responsibility for the bombing before a spokesman denied the group's involvement. turning now to the war in ukraine, president biden said today the u.s. will not provide f-16s, denying a reqle and i

comes as russian president putin is mobilizing more than 200,000 troops and russian forces have been pounding cities in eastern ukraine with their attacks. cbs's debora patta is there in battle-torn bakhmut. >> reporter: once home to 70,000 people, nearly a year of war has left bakhmut a hollowed-out shell. the sound of artillery is constant. this city has been decimated, and it's deserted barring a few people still trying to eke out some kind of living here. even a trip to the central square is done with one eye on the clock, the other on the sky. battalion commander seva kozemyako is among the ukrainian forces trying to prevent russia seizing the city. >> come on, come on. >> reporter: at underground high-tech command centers like this, his soldiers use inexpensive drones to stream

live video from the front line, revealing it in astounding detail. like this dead russian soldier and shattered backyards where russian troops were recently filmed crawling for cover. artillery units also monitor the battlefield in realtime. >> as soon as they see the enemy there or the tanks, they just start to shoot, or if we notice first, we call them, and we say, please correct your fire. >> reporter: in the east of the city, russians throw wave after wave of troops into the fight. they keep on advancing over their fallen soldiers, third operative battalion commander anton said. one group is destroyed. then another comes. then at night, they collect the bodies. the men work, sleep, and eat here in shifts around the clock. no job too menial. making sure for now that on the

>> announcer: this is the "cbs overnight news." i'm erica brown in washington. thanks for staying with us. the mother and stepfather of tyre nichols, the motorist who died after being brutally beaten by memphis police officers, have accepted an invitation to attend president biden's state of the union address next month. the invitation came from the congressional black caucus. all five officers involved in the beating were charged with murder after being fired. a sixth officer has now been relieved of duty but not fired or charged with a crime. and the nichols family wants other cops who stood around after the beating to be held

accountable. a funeral service is scheduled for wednesday. lee cowan has a look at nichols' life and that tragic night in memphis. >> reporter: if there's one thing about tyre nichols that says a lot about who he was as a man, it was the relationship he had with his mother. >> he has a tattoo of my name on his arm. my son loved me to death, and i loved him to death. >> reporter: nichols was a sacramento native. atoue was a o a man. he was a father too. he came to memphis just before the pandemic locked the world down. he moved in with his mom and stepfather and got a job at fedex. when the 29-year-old wasn't working, he kept up with his pas passions. skateboarding was one of them, and so was photography. he had a talent for capturing sunsets especially. his friends say he was a free spirit who always wanted to be famous but clearly not for the

reason that made him so. >> no mother, no mother, no mother should go through what i'm going through right now. no mother. to lose their child to the violent way that i lost my child. >> reporter: rowvaughn wells said she didn't watch the video of her son's beating, but the nation did. >> i didn't do anything. >> reporter: it all started on january 7th when body cam video shows tyre nichols being yanked from his car. >> get on the ground right now! >> all right. okay. >> i'm going to break your [ bleep ]. >> reporter: the reason, say police, reckless driving. >> you guys are really doing a lot right now. >> lay down. >> i'm just trying to go home. >> if you don't lay down. >> i'm on the ground. >> get on your stomach. >> reporter: we don't see what

led up to the confrontation, but the responding officers are clearly angry. nichols got away. bliss police found him not long after about 100 yards from his mother's home, where he cried out to her for help. >> mom! >> i had this really bad pain in my stomach earlier, not knowing what had happened. but once i found out what happened, that was my son's pain that i was feeling, and i didn't even know. >> reporter: a remotely controlled camera mounted on a pole in the neighborhood captured perhaps the most violent moments. there are plenty of places you can go to see just what happened next. officers seemed to take turns kicking and punching and beating

tyre nichols with a baton. it's unrelenting. when they're done, he's dragged and propped up against a car. and then they do nothing, nothing to render aid to nichols and certainly don't offer him comfort. the video shows officers standing around. one of them stops to tie his shoe. another is trying to get his laidio to work. there was laughing. there was cussing, all while nichols was suffering life-threatening injuries. it was at least 20 minutes before the ambulance even arrived. nichols died in the hospital three days later. the last picture his mother has of him is this. >> earlier today, the grand jury returned indictments against five former memphis police department officers regarding the death of tyre nichols. >> reporter: less than three weeks later, five officers, all of them black, all of them part of a new disbanded specialized street crimes unit called scorpion, were fired and

indicted for crimes including second-degree murder. officials later announced two memphis fire department employees and two sheriff's deputies have also been relieved of their duties. that's swift action, says civil rights attorney ben crump, was crucial. >> this is the blueprint going forward for anytime any officers, whether they be black or white, will be held accountable. >> this man should be with his family. >> reporter: the quick action against the officers may have also helped quell violent protests that so many feared would erupt in the wake of the video's release. there was outrage to be sure, but it was mostly calm, just what tyre nichols' mom had asked for, and so did the president. >> it has a lot to say and do with the image of america. it has a lot to do with whether or not we are the country we say we are. >> reporter: are we the same country we were in 1991 when

rodney king was savagely beaten? laura dean king, his daughter, was only 7 at the time. for her, nichols' beating and his death brought the tears all over again. >> that's sick to me. that's sick. that man was begging from jump. when they pulled him over, he was begging. i can hear it in investigators announced they're opening a civil rights case now, focusing even more attention on police reform nationwide. in the wake of george floyd's murder back in 2020, many departments changed their procedures, including banning choke holds and increased training on de-escalation tactics. and yet according to one recent data analysis, police killed more people last year than any other year in the past decade. >> it is the culture, and we have to call out this culture every time we get a chance. we're going to call it out. >> call it out.

>> call out the culture. >> call out the culture. >> reporter: for memphis, the death of a black man at the hands of black police officers is a new kind of pain. this was, after all, where preaching astsinhuty to man.as 55 years later, it seems we've still failed to heed his warning. >> that was lee cowan reporting. as you heard, the memphis p.d. announced over the weekend it is permanently disbanding the specialized unit involved in the death of tyre nichols. all five officers charged in his death were part of the so-called scorpion unit, created in 2021 to target violent crime. at first, it was seen as a success. but as jeff pegues reports, there are questions now about what successful policing really looks like. >> reporter: scorpion, which is short for the street crimes operation to restore peace in our neighborhoods, was created

to reduce rising crime in memphis. the police department's 40-officer unit focused on violent offenses like homicides, assaults, robberies, and carjackings. but just over a year after it was created, the squad was disbanded permanently on saturday after five of its officers were fired and charged with second-degree murder in the death of tyre nichols. >> you guys are really doing a lot right now. >> reporter: brutal tactics the officers used are on display in the video released on friday. after beating and pepper spraying nichols, who was unarmed, the officers were seen chatting as he sat propped up against a police car. >> he was running through the yard. >> the culture is an issue that has to be looked at, and there has to be a surgical look. >> reporter: memphis police chief sarah lynn davis told cbs news members of this unit somehow strayed from the mission. >> it wasn't set up so that officers can be heavy handed, and these officers were supposed

to have laser focus sort of priorities on repeat offenders, those individuals that were committing violent crimes, and they had great success last year. >> how do you really quantify success? >> reporter: retired nypd detective marq claxton now with the black law enforcement alliance says in his experience, these specialized units can breed their own toxic culture. >> when you have these smaller individualized units, they can develop this subculture. but they all operate within the purview of that larger toxic police culture. it's just that they're more insular, they're more secretive. >> reporter: while advocates applaud the disbandsing the scorpion unit, some are now calling on washington to act on police reform after a bill named for george floyd failed to get through the last congress. >> it had many elements in it that are important, banning choke holds, dealing with no-warrant searches, dealing

with accreditation of police departments. >> reporter: but without the chairman of the house judiciary committee on board, it will be a tough road to passage. >> i don't know that there's any law that can stop that evil that we saw. >> reporter: the chairman of the congressional black caucus is requesting a meeting with president biden this week to discuss police reform issues, specifically police misconduct. a date, though, has not yet been set. >> jeff pegues reporting. the overnight news is back in two minutes. i'm not a doctor. i'm not even in a doctor's office. i'm standing on the street, talking to real people about their heart. how's your heart? my heart's pretty good. you sure? i think so. how do you know? you're driving a car? you have the check engine light, but the heart doesn't have a hey, check heart sign. i want to show you something. put both fingers right on those pads. there you go. in 30 seconds, we're going to have a medical grade ekg.

>> i bought a rug which was, like, $600, and i would never spent that much on a rug. but i was like, well, it's only $125. >> reporter: 43% of americans have used a buy now, pay later service on everything from groceries to weddings. but missing a payment could cost you. is there a risk to buy now, pay later? >> well, for many people, just like credit cards, they can get in over their head. >> reporter: row hit chopra is the director of the consumer financial protection bureau. >> what can people do if they find they have overextended themselves and spent too much with these programs? >> the biggest piece of advice is to not hide but to talk to the lender to work out a deal. >> reporter: the bureau is calling for increased industry oversight similar to credit cards. a trade group representing leading lenders says most people pay off their loans, and they work with consumers who miss a payment to get back on track. amber cole is now reselling her purchases and warning buyer
