look at that case too. norah. >> for now he's in jail. jericka duncan, thank you. well, now to those growing pro-palestinian demonstrations embroiling college campuses. today we've seen tensions rise at more than a dozen schools from coast to coast. since last week, hundreds of campus protesters have been arrested. one major university today canceling its graduation. cbs's jason allen has new details tonight on the campus chaos. >> reporter: campus crackdown at atlanta's emory university, police tore down tents erected this morning, and some appeared to be tased by police. some students and faculty were led away in handcuffs. here at the university of texas-austin, dueling protests. pro-palestinian and pro-israeli protesters facing off on campus with security watching. >> it is my understanding that the university of texas-austin funds research that israel directly benefits from. >> reporter: on the campus of

usc, the lapd used their batons to disperse a large crowd of protesters late last night. the school canceling the main stage commencement ceremony. cbs's nancy chen is at columbia university. >> reporter: dozens of tents remain here at columbia university as we near a midnight deadline, school administrators have set to clear this lawn. right outside it, israeli flags, and some jewish students we spoke to say they feel scared to be on campus. >> many of us knew people or the music festival or that lived nearby -- i'm sorry. i'm getting very emotional about that. the situation where people scream hateful speech, who have harassed and attacked physically people is just making it impossible to be here. >> reporter: back here in austin, student demonstrators are still here. they are on campus tonight. police are close by, but they are not making any efforts to

clear this space the way that they did yesterday. norah. >> jason allen, thank you. president biden joins 17 other world leaders today, demanding that hamas release the hostages it took more than six months ago in its unprecedented attack on israel. this comes the day after hamas released a propaganda video showing one of the five israeli american hostages still believed to be alive. cbs's debora patta spoke with his mother today. >> reporter: the last time rachel goldberg pollen heard from her son, hersh, was over 200 days ago in a text message saying "i love you" as he was being taken hostage on october 7th. that is until yesterday, when he appeared with an amputated hand, an injury sustained during the attack on a hamas propaganda video. >> hersh and i are both left-handed. now he's not left-handed anymore. it was truly just an

overwhelming moment. >> reporter: goldberg pollen has urged her son to stay strong. >> we are telling you we love you. stay strong. survive. >> it was a very powerful moment as a mother. >> i don't know if he hears it or if he feels it or if he knows it, but i am ordering him to survive. so many people were so emotional because they really have not thought he was alive. >> reporter: remarkably, goldberg pollen's anguish over her son's abduction has not prevented her from seeing the suffering of others. >> hundreds of thousands of innocent people in gaza are suffering, and i know one of them really well, and his name is hersh. >> reporter: her message to those negotiating a deal -- >> it requires loving and caring about your people more than you hate the other. let's be human.

let's figure it out, and let's end this. >> reporter: it's enough, she said. it's now time for the hostages to come home.

accelerating. >> reporter: arun rao, the justice department in washington overseeing romance scam cases, says his main challenge is that the scammers are far away. the fbi has participated in operations in the west african nations of nigeria and ghana. rao traveled there last fall. >> we were shown video of scammers using artificial intelligence-enhanced video technology. and so it appeared to the victim that they were speaking to another american citizen. >> a little chilling as you're describing it. >> it is chilling, and it also makes it challenging for law enforcement to intervene. >> reporter: but this former scammer, who spoke to us from the west african country of ghana, offers a key insight into combating these crimes. >> you cannot do nothing without the online dating site. >> you need those onto dating platforms. >> definitely. definitely. >> reporter: a 2019 federal trade commission lawsuit alleged that between 2013 and 2018, as

lost a lot of money, hundreds of thousands, sometimes millions of dollars, live savings, or the relatives of people who have even lost their lives, what do you have to say to them? >> look, i mean things happen in life. that's really difficult. i have tremendous empathy for things that happen. but i mean our job is to keep people safe on our platforms. that is foremost, most important thing to us. >> reporter: one more note about the match group. last month, they announced a new head of trust and safety. that's the corporate office responsible for customer security. norah. >> jim axelrod, thank you. more traces of bird flu are more traces of bird flu are found in ♪ ("good feeling" by flo rida feat. atr) ♪ this is a hot flash.

>> if there's no threat of criminal prosecution, what prevents the president from just doing whatever he wants? >> could it further delay his federal election interference trial? plus, the big developments in trump's so-called hush money trial. >> announcer: this is the "cbs overnight news." good evening. i'm norah o'donnell, and thank you for being with us. we want to begin tonight with the supreme court and the unprecedented case of presidential immunity before the justices. at issue is whether former president donald trump is immune from criminal prosecution for what he claims were official acts while in office. the decision will have major implications on the special counsel's election interference case against trump as well as this year's presidential race. trump wasn't at today's oral arguments at the supreme court.

he was in a courtroom in lower manhattan, where he is mandated to appear for his trial for falsifying business records to hide an alleged affair. in addition, trump is facing criminal trials in georgia and florida, and in just the last 24 hours, trump was named as an un-indicted co-conspirator in arizona and michigan over fake elector schemes. we have team coverage of today's major developments, and cbs's jan crawford will start us off from the supreme court. >> reporter: in nearly three hours of historic arguments, the justices emphasized their decision will go beyond former president donald trump. >> whatever we decide is going to apply to all future presidents. >> reporter: no president has ever faced criminal prosecution, and some justices, while emphasizing a president is not above the law, focused on what precedent the case will set. >> the history tells us it's not going to stop. it's going to cycle back and be used against the current president or the next president

or the next president and the next president after that. >> i am concerned about future uses of the criminal law to target political opponents. >> reporter: trump is arguing he has absolute immunity as president from prosecution for official acts during his tenure in office, including efforts to overturn the 2020 election. he made the point again before entering a new york courtroom on trial today in one of four criminal cases against him. >> a president has to have immunity. this has nothing to do with me. >> reporter: but that sweeping argument of absolute immunity is one the justices, liberal and conservative, seemed almost certain to reject. >> if the potential for criminal liability is taken off the table, wouldn't there be a significant risk that future presidents would be emboldened to commit crimes with abandon while they're in office? >> the framers did not put an immunity clause into the constitution. wasn't the whole point that the president was not a monarch and the president was not supposed to be above the law?

>> reporter: instead, the justices appeared to be focused on a middle ground where presidents may have some immunity from prosecution for official acts as justice clarence thomas asked at the very beginning of the argument. >> how exactly would we determine what an official act is? >> reporter: that question may take time. the court has never decided it, but the clock is ticking if special counsel jack smith can prosecute trump before the election. >> and jan joins us now. so if the justices rule that he has some limited immunity, how long could this take? what's the timeline? >> reporter: well, norah, i wouldn't expect a decision before june. it's a complicated case, and the justices know it's going to be the law long after they leave the supreme court. but that's what special counsel jack smith asked for. he actually said the justices should expedite this case so that they could have a decision by the end of the term. so that's what they're doing to do. whether or not this is going to go past too long before an

election will be held in november, that's going to be up to how the court writes it and whether there are still issues left for lower courts to resolve. norah. >> really interesting. jan crawford, thank you. instead of being at those supreme court hearings, donald trump was in a courthouse in lower manhattan for his so-called hush money trial. that's where we find cbs's robert costa. good evening, robert. >> reporter: good evening, norah. former president donald trump isn't attacking david pecker, the former publisher of the "national enquirer," just yet, but pecker's testimony here today in lower manhattan could threaten trump, offering new details about an alleged catch and kill operation to influence the 2016 election. this morning, former president trump weighed in on a key witness in his criminal trial. former "national enquirer" publisher david pecker. >> he's been very nice. i mean he's been -- david's been very nice. he's a nice guy. >> reporter: trump has known pecker for decades, and prosecutors allege the pair, along with former trump lawyer

michael cohen, engaged in a conspiracy to suppress negative stories about trump as he ran for president in 2016. pecker told jurors just after the "access hollywood" tape surfaced weeks before the election -- >> i just start kissing them. >> reporter: discussions about what to do with stormy daniels heated up. the adult film star was, according to pecker, shopping the story of her alleged affair with trump. pecker testified he didn't have the $120,000 she wanted, so he told cohen to buy and bury her story, saying if he didn't and the story gets out, "the boss is going to be very angry with you." >> the d.a.'s case really rises and falls with david pecker's testimony because he is the linchpin behind their theory of this sort of conspiratorial scheme to influence the election. >> reporter: pecker also testified about an agreement with former "playboy" model karen mcdougal, who said she had a 10-month affair with trump, which he denies. pecker acknowledged ami, which then owned the "enquirer," paid

$150,000 for her story just weeks before the election and never published it. >> if donald trump hadn't been running for president, do you believe this deal would have been made with ami, knowing what you know now? >> probably not, no. >> reporter: in his testimony, pecker said the payment orchestrated with michael cohen was done because they didn't want the story to embarrass mr. trump or hurt the campaign. pecker said he asked cohen who would foot the bill. he responded, "the boss," meaning trump, "will take care of it." meanwhile, trump's legal challenges expanded overnight. his former lawyer, rudy giuliani, and chief of staff mark meadows, were among more than a dozen people indicted in a scheme in arizona to falsely declare trump as the 2020 winner. >> donald j. trump. >> reporter: trump, himself, was named as an un-indicted co-conspirator. pecker also made a stunning new allegation that's never been heard before, that he engaged with hope hicks and sarah huckabee sanders, then-white house staffers, along with trump, about karen mcdougal's contract, raising new questions

about the trump administration's implication in this case. norah. >> robert costa, thank you. there's a lot more news ahead on the "cbs overnight news." [birds singing] for nourished, lightweight hair,

good. >> reporter: in nearly every address -- [ speaking in a global language ] >> reporter: -- the pope often calls for peace. he condemned hamas' october 7th attack but has also called on israel to use restraint. >> there are now pictures of starving children coming out of gaza. what about those that call that a genocide? >> translator: genocide. every afternoon at 7:00 p.m., i call gaza to the parish. there are about 600 people there, and they tell me what's going on. it's very hard. very, very hard. food goes in, but they have to fight for it. it's very hard. >> i know you call for peace. you have called for a cease-fire in many of your sermons. can you help negotiate peace?

>> translator: i can pray. i do. i pray a lot. >> during world children's day, which is the end of may, the u.n. says over a million people will be facing famine in gaza, many of them children. what can be done? >> translator: not only gaza, we should think about ukraine. those kids don't know how to smile. i tell them something, but they forgot how to smile, and this is very hard when a child forgets to smile. it's really very serious, very serious. >> do you have a message for vladimir putin when it comes to ukraine? >> translator: please, countries at war, all of them, stop the

war. look to negotiate. look for peace. a negotiated peace is better than a war without end. >> you can watch an extended version of norah's interview with pope francis on sunday, may 19th, on "60 minutes" and a prime-time special on monday, may 20th, here on cbs and streaming on paramount+. in other news this morning, the latest crash tests on small suvs show they may not be as safe as you think, especially when it comes to front-end collisions. kris van cleave has the details. >> reporter: dramatic evidence collision avoidance technology has room for improvement. this chevy equinox failed to stop for a simulated motorcycle on the insurance institute for highway safety test track. iihs vice president david ailer. >> we really wanted to push

manufacturers even further, and so we've increased our test speeds. >> reporter: the insurance institute previously tested similar driver assistance systems between 12 and 25 miles per hour. this new testing ranges from 31 to 43 miles per hour and also evaluates how well small suvs detect and warn drivers ap approaching a stopped motorcycle or large truck. >> unfortunately not very many of the vehicles did well. >> reporter: only the subaru forester scored top marks, earning a good rating, avoiding collisions at every speed and alerting the driver to obstacles more than two seconds before a likely collision. two other small suvs rated acceptable. three scored marginal while four others rated poor. >> that's why we release these ratings, to really encourage manufacturers to improve their performance across the board. >> reporter: testing aimed at making vehicles safer down the road. i'm kris van cleave in los angeles. the soaring price of new

cars and trucks has a lot of people shopping for pre-owned vehicles, but there's sticker shock there as well. jeff nguyen has the story from l.a. >> there you go. >> reporter: karen and marissa hood and baby noah have been looking for a new car since january, only to find sticker shock. >> now you're looking at the payments, and it's just kind of crazy. >> reporter: last month, the average price of a new car was just under $47,000, and the average new car payment was north of $700. also in march, the average interest rate for a new car loan was more than 7%. used, nearly 12%. as for finding something affordable -- >> 20,000 vehicles dead. if you want a $20,000 vehicle, you're buying a used car. >> what will it take for prices to turn around? >> in the end, if consumers don't buy, prices will come down. >> reporter: things may be turning around. beau bachman owns a group in los

angeles where inventory has been sitting longer. >> most of our interest rates are between 2.9% and 0%. >> reporter: but then there's the constant insurance. the latest consumer price index shows a 22% increase over last year. >> safety features, do they affect insurance rates? >> there's backup cameras. there's sensors. all these things cost quite a bit more to repair. so a bumper went from being $1,000 repair to maybe a $10,000, $20,000 repair. >> reporter: the hoods recently purchased a used tesla. they're looking to at a 3-year-old ford explorer priced at $40,000. >> we're looking at new cars and we're realizing we could get two used cars. >> reporter: the new york bet says auto loan delinquencies are at their highest level since 2008 because of higher prices 2008 because of higher prices sometimes, the lows of bipolar depression feel darkest before dawn. with caplyta, there's a chance to let in the lyte™.

communities to have programs like this for foster kids because these kids don't have a support system. they don't have a safety net. >> reporter: they began a four-week program aimed at introducing kids 15 years and older to workplace skills. they work part-time at the cafe learning everything from what to wear to how to deal with difficult customers. >> it's the best thing that we've ever done. watching kids like trinity be able to have confidence and smile and learn the skills that she needed has been priceless. >> reporter: 1 in 4 kids in the foster system will become homeless within four years of aging out of the system. trinity is just days away from her 18th birthday and being on her own. >> here you go. >> reporter: she loves the job so much, she hopes to go full-time after graduation. >> we are regular people. like we get a lot of pity, but it doesn't really help us out. it just makes it worse. >> reporter: over the last two years, they've had about 30 kids

new carbon capture technology is helping residential buildings go green. here's bradley blackburn. >> reporter: deep in the basement of a new york city apartment building -- >> these are the boilers. >> reporter: -- these massive devices generate heat and hot water for hundreds of residents.

>> this runs on natural gas. >> reporter: ryan aspare ra with carbon quest says burning that fuel creates carbon dioxide. it would normally go out the chimney, but here -- >> here's the carbon capture room. >> reporter: -- their system captures co2 before it's released in the air. this tank holds 700 gallons of liquefied carbon dioxide. that's equivalent to about three tons of co2. the maze of pipes and tanks fills a room, but it's actually small-scale. most carbon capture happens at large industrial plants. asparrow believes bringing the technology down to this size is critical to fighting climate change. >> this takes up about 800 square feet in a 400,000 square foot building. >> reporter: more cities like new york are ruling out restrictions on building emissions but changing an entire heating system to electric is difficult. >> carbon capture is a cost-effective and easy solution to implement without a major disruption. >> reporter: from the basement the co2 is pumped out and taken

by truck to glenwood mason in brooklyn. jeff hansen says every day this factory turns out some 40,000 concrete blocks. they now inject co2 in the slurry before blocks are formed to be stored forever. >> every one of these blocks has carbon locked up inside? >> every single one of them. >> reporter: using these blocks can help projects meet new green construction requirements. carbon capture in a full cycle, showing how one building's waste can help build a greener future. bradley blackburn, cbs news, new york. and that's the overnight news for this friday. reporting from the nation's capital, i'm nicole sganga. this is "cbs news flash." i'm shanelle kaul in new york. ohio police released body cam video of a man who died in custody. it shows officers scuffling with

frank tyson as they handcuffed him and recorded what would be his final words, "i can't breathe." two officers are on paid leave pending an investigation. the university of southern california has canceled its main graduation ceremony as anti-israel protests continue across college campuses. some universities called in police to break up the demonstrations, resulting in ugly scuffles and arrests. and the chicago bears picked usc quarterback caleb williams to open the 2024 nfl draft, one of six quarterbacks in the top 12. fo connected tv. i'm shanelle kaul, cbs news, new york. for 234 years of american history, no president was ever prosecuted for his official acts. >> a landmark hearing as the supreme court considers whether donald trump has absolute immunity against criminal prosecutions from his time in office.

>> if there's no threat of criminal prosecution, what prevents the president from just doing whatever he wants? >> could it further delay his federal election interference trial? plus, the big developments in trump's so-called hush money trial. >> announcer: this is the "cbs overnight news." good evening. i'm norah o'donnell, and thank you for being with us. we want to begin tonight with the supreme court and the unprecedented case of presidential immunity before the justices. at issue is whether former president donald trump is immune from criminal prosecution for what he claims were official acts while in office. the decision will have major implications on the special counsel's election interference case against trump as well as this year's presidential race. trump wasn't at today's oral arguments at the supreme court.

he was in a courtroom in lower manhattan, where he is mandated to appear for his trial for falsifying business records to hide an alleged affair. in addition, trump is facing criminal trials in georgia and florida, and in just the last 24 hours, trump was named as an un-indicted co-conspirator in arizona and michigan over fake elector schemes. we have team coverage of today's major developments, and cbs's jan crawford will start us off from the supreme court. >> reporter: in nearly three hours of historic arguments, the justices emphasized their decision will go beyond former president donald trump. >> whatever we decide is going to apply to all future presidents. >> reporter: no president has ever faced criminal prosecution, and some justices, while emphasizing a president is not above the law, focused on what precedent the case will set. >> the history tells us it's not going to stop. it's going to cycle back and be used against the current president or the next president or -- and the next president and

the next president after that. >> i am concerned about future uses of the criminal law to target political opponents. >> reporter: trump is arguing he has absolute immunity as president from prosecution for official acts during his tenure in office, including efforts to overturn the 2020 election. he made the point again before entering a new york courtroom on trial today in one of four criminal cases against him. >> a president has to have immunity. this has nothing to do with me. >> reporter: but that sweeping argument of absolute immunity is one the justices, liberal and conservative, seemed almost certain to reject. >> if the potential for criminal liability is taken off the table, wouldn't there be a significant risk that future presidents would be emboldened to commit crimes with abandon while they're in office? >> the framers did not put an immunity clause into the constitution. wasn't the whole point that the president was not a monarch and the president was not supposed to be above the law?

>> reporter: instead, the justices appeared to be focused on a middle ground where presidents may have some immunity from prosecution for official acts as justice clarence thomas asked at the very beginning of the argument. >> how exactly would we determine what an official act is? >> reporter: that question may take time. the court has never decided it, but the clock is ticking if special counsel jack smith can prosecute trump before the election. >> and jan joins us now. so if the justices rule that he has some limited immunity, how long could this take? what's the timeline? >> reporter: well, norah, i wouldn't expect a decision before june. it's a complicated case, and the justices know it's going to be the law long after they leave the supreme court. but that's what special counsel jack smith asked for. he actually said the justices should expedite this case so that they could have a decision by the end of the term. so that's what they're doing to do. whether or not this is going to go past too long before an election will be held in

november, that's going to be up to how the court writes it and whether there are still issues left for lower courts to resolve. norah. >> really interesting. jan crawford, thank you. instead of being at those supreme court hearings, donald trump was in a courthouse in lower manhattan for his so-called hush money trial. that's where we find cbs's robert costa. good evening, robert. >> reporter: good evening, norah. former president donald trump isn't attacking david pecker, the former publisher of the "national enquirer," just yet. but pecker's testimony today here in lower manhattan could threaten trump, offering new details about an alleged catch and kill operation to influence the 2016 election. this morning, former president trump weighed in on a key witness in his criminal trial. former "national enquirer" publisher david pecker. >> he's been very nice. i mean he's been -- david's been very nice. he's a nice guy. >> reporter: trump has known pecker for decades, and

prosecutors allege the pair, along with former trump lawyer michael cohen, engaged in a conspiracy to suppress negative stories about trump as he ran for president in 2016. pecker told jurors just after the "access hollywood" tape surfaced weeks before the election -- >> i just start kissing them. >> reporter: -- discussions about what to do with stormy daniels heated up. the adult film star was, according to pecker, shopping the story of her alleged affair with trump. pecker testified he didn't have the $120,000 she wanted, so he told cohen to buy and bury her story, saying if he didn't and the story gets out, "the boss is going to be very angry with you." >> the d.a.'s case really rises and falls with david pecker's tstimony because he is the linchpin behind their theory of this sort of conspiratorial scheme to influence the election. >> reporter: pecker also testified about an agreement with former "playboy" model karen mcdougal, who said she had a 10-month affair with trump, which he denies. pecker acknowledged ami, which then owned the "enquirer," paid

$150,000 for her story just weeks before the election and never published it. >> if donald trump hadn't been running for president, do you believe this deal would have been made with ami, knowing what you know now? >> probably not, no. >> reporter: in his testimony, pecker said the payment orchestrated with michael cohen was done because they didn't want the story to embarrass mr. trump or hurt the campaign. pecker said he asked cohen who would foot the bill. he responded, "the boss," meaning trump, "will take care of it." meanwhile, trump's legal challenges expanded overnight. his former lawyer, rudy giuliani, and chief of staff mark meadows, were among more than a dozen people indicted in a scheme in arizona to falsely declare trump as the 2020 winner. >> donald j. trump. >> reporter: trump, himself, was named as an un-indicted co-conspirator. pecker also made a stunning new allegation that's never been heard before, that he engaged with hope hicks and sarah huckabee sanders, then-white house staffers, along with trump, about karen mcdougal's contract, raising new questions

about the trump administration's implication in this case. norah. >> robert costa, thank you. there's a lot more news ahead on the "cbs overnight news." nothing dims my light like a migraine. with nurtec odt, i found relief. the only migraine medication that helps treat and prevent, all in one. to those with migraine, i see you. for the acute treatment of migraine with or without aura and the preventive treatment of episodic migraine in adults. don't take if allergic to nurtec odt. allergic reactions can occur, even days after using.

>> announcer: this is the "cbs overnight news." tonight, a stunning blow to the case that sparked the "me

too" movement. disgraced movie mogul harvey weinstein had his felony sex crime convictions overturned today by new york's highest court. cbs's jericka duncan has been covering the story since the scandal broke in 2017. and a warning, some of the details are disturbing. >> reporter: tonight, disgraced former hollywood producer harvey weinstein remains behind bars after a new york appeals court ruled he did not receive a fair trial. weinstein's attorney, arthur aidala. >> this was a case about perversion. well, in that courthouse at trial, the laws were perverted because there was so much pressure because harvey was the face of this movement, that he had to be convicted. >> reporter: the court found that in 2020, the judge, quote, erroneously admitted testimony by allowing women who were not part of the case to testify that weinstein had assaulted them. cbs news legal analyst rikki klieman. >> he would get a more fair trial, according to the court of

appeals, because these other prior bad act witnesses will be excluded. >> reporter: the decision comes more than four years after the 72-year-old was found guilty and sentenced to 23 years in prison for sexually assaulting two women. lauren sivan, who never testified in court, says in 2007, weinstein masturbated in front of her at a dinner party. >> do you think overturning harvey weinstein's conviction has an impact on whether or not people who say they've been sexually assaulted decide to speak out? >> it will 100% have a chilling effect on victims coming forward. i mean think about it. think about how hard it is to come forward in the first place, you know, whether or not you're even believed. >> reporter: the new york district attorney plans to retry the case, but keep in mind harvey weinstein faces a 16-year sentence in california for sexual assault. his attorneys say they want to look at that case too.

norah. >> for now he's in jail. jericka duncan, thank you. well, now to those growing pro-palestinian demonstrations embroiling college campuses. today we've seen tensions rise at more than a dozen schools from coast to coast. since last week, hundreds of campus protesters have been arrested. one major university today canceling its graduation. cbs's jason allen has new details tonight on the campus chaos. >> reporter: campus crackdown at atlanta's emory university. police tore down tents erected this morning, and some appeared to be tased by police. some students and faculty were led away in handcuffs. here at the university of texas-austin, dueling protests. pro-palestinian and pro-israeli protesters facing off on campus with security watching. >> it is my understanding that the university of texas-austin funds research that israel directly benefits from. >> reporter: on the campus of

usc, the lapd used their batons to disperse a large crowd of protesters late last night. the school canceling the main stage commencement ceremony. cbs's nancy chen is at columbia university. >> reporter: dozens of tents remain here at columbia university as we near a midnight deadline school administrators have set to clear this lawn. right outside it, israeli flags, and some jewish students we spoke to say they feel scared to be on campus. >> many of us knew people at the music festival or that lived nearby -- i'm sorry. i'm getting very emotional about that. and adding to that, the situation where people scream hateful speech, who have harassed and attacked both verbally and physically people is just making it impossible to be here. >> reporter: back here in austin, student demonstrators are still here. they are on campus tonight. police are close by, but they are not making any efforts to clear this space the way that they did yesterday.

norah. >> jason allen, thank you. president biden joined 17 other world leaders today, demanding that hamas release the hostages it took more than six months ago in its unprecedented attack on israel. this comes the day after hamas released a propaganda video showing one of the five israeli american hostages still believed to be alive. cbs's debora patta spoke with his mother today. >> reporter: the last time rachel goldberg-polin heard from her son, hersh, was over 200 days ago in a text message saying "i love you" as he was being taken hostage on october 7th. that is until yesterday, when he appeared with an amputated hand, an injury sustained during the attack, on a hamas propaganda video. >> hersh and i are both left-handed. now he's not left-handed anymore. it was truly just an overwhelming moment.

>> reporter: goldberg-polin has urged her son to stay strong. >> we are telling you we love you. stay strong. survive. >> it was a very powerful moment as a mother. >> i don't know if he hears it or if he feels it or if he knows it, but i am ordering him to survive. so many people were so emotional because they really have not thought he was alive. >> reporter: remarkably, goldberg-polin's anguish over her son's abduction has not prevented her from seeing the suffering of others. >> hundreds of thousands of innocent people in gaza are suffering, and i know one of them really well, and his name is hersh. >> reporter: her message to those negotiating a deal -- > it requires loving and caring about your people more than you hate the other. let's be human. let's figure it out, and let's

end this. >> reporter: it's enough, she said. it's now time for the hostages to come home. debora patta, cbs news,

this billion-dollar crime wave. >> i never thought that this could happen to our family. >> reporter: when kelly gowe's widowed mother, laura kowal, went on match.com, she eventually was scammed out of a million and a half dollars. laura's life would end at 57, her body found in the mississippi river. >> we are constantly chasing our tails. >> reporter: david parrish is the sheriff in lewis county, missouri, where laura's body was discovered. >> online romance scams are a scourge. we deal with it every other week. >> reporter: but like law enforcement in small towns across america, sheriff parrish says he doesn't have the resources to fully investigate these online scam cases, even when a body washes ashore. >> we are always behind the eight ball on this. >> reporter: but it's not just sheriff parrish who's frustrated. >> reporter: arun rao, the

justice department in washington overseeing romance scam cases, says his main challenge is that the scammers are far away. the fbi has participated in operations in the west african nations of nigeria and ghana. rao traveled there last fall. >> we were shown video of scammers using artificial intelligence-enhanced video technology. and so it appeared to the victim that they were speaking to another american citizen. >> a little chilling as you're describing it. >> it is chilling, and it also makes it challenging for law enforcement to intervene. >> reporter: but this former scammer, who spoke to us from the west african country of ghana, offers a key insight into combating these crimes. >> you cannot do nothing without the online dating site. . >> you need those online dating platforms. >> definitely. definitely. >> reporter: a 2019 federal trade commission lawsuit alleged that between 2013 and 2018, as many as 25% to 30% of match.com

lost a lot of money, hundreds of thousands, sometimes millions of dollars, live savings, or the relatives of people who have even lost their lives, what do you have to say to them? >> look, i mean things happen in life. that's really difficult. i have a tremendous amount of empathy for things that happen. but i mean our job is to keep people safe on our platforms. that is foremost, most important thing to us. >> reporter: one more note about the match group. last month, they announced a new head of trust and safety. that's the corporate office responsible for customer security. norah. >> jim axelrod, thank you. more traces of bird flu are found in america's milk supply. what's being done about it,
