it's all for show." along the front lines, there's been almost no territorial gain for russia recently, but more loss of ukrainian life.

3:14 am
have to ensure that we are training to the correct threat. >> i mean you were never expecting to get into a dogfight with iraqi pilots. >> correct. >> but you might with chinese pilots. >> potentially. >> how difficult is it to deter china and at the same time not increase the chance of war? >> our presence around the world needs to be stable. our actions need to be unemotional. we need to be -- we need to act with professionalism with our allies and partners. we can't afford a commanding officer out there to do something that's going to perhaps lead to an inadvertent incident between two navies. and so we train to that. so we're leaving nothing to chance with respect to how they're going to behave out there on the high seas. it has to be very measured. all right. tonight an american aid worker is free after being kidnapped and held hostage for more than

3:21 am
fertilized with sperm in a lab, and monitored to see if they become embryos. after four unsuccessful rounds of ivf, the couple tried an egg donor. >> it's such a big decision. was it a difficult one? >> oh, yeah. am i going to relate with the child because it's not my genetics? >> reporter: with donor eggs, kristen and matt did three more embryo transfers. all ended in miscarriages. >> i think that was a hard pill to swallow. >> reporter: they're not alone. >> so many people struggle in silence with infertility and never talk about it. >> reporter: desperately hoping to have a second child after having our son beau naturally, but also after suffering two miscarriages, my husband and i turned to ivf at 42. for women under 35, the chance of having a baby after a single ivf cycle is about 41%. but by age 42, it's down to just 9%. dr. eric foreman is my fertility

3:31 am
possible arrest. cbs 'robert costa is going to start us off tonight from outside the criminal court in new york city. good evening, robert. >> reporter: good evening, norah. law enforcement officials from several agencies met today to discuss security and logistics as they brace for possible violence should former president trump be indicted. steel barricades were delivered outside manhattan criminal court this morning after former president trump claimed he will be arrested on tuesday and urged supporters to "protest and take our nation back" even though there is no evidence an arrest is coming tomorrow. intelligence sources tell cbs news that they are seeing a significant increase in threats since trump's post, including violent rhetoric from domestic extremists, mostly targeted toward law enforcement, judges, and government officials in new york. >> they're a different group that could come in armed. they could come in with explosives. they could come in with molotov
3:32 am
cocktails. >> reporter: manhattan district attorney alvin bragg told colleagues, we do not tolerate attempts to intimidate our office. sources added that if and when an indictment comes, expect a ring of steel around the courthouse with all entrances sealed off and a very visible police presence. today the potential final witness in the case, bob costello, was brought in to testify about the credibility of michael cohen, trump's former fixer and the key witness in the investigation. it was cohen who made the hush money payment to former adult film star stormy daniels on behalf of trump in the final days of the 2016 campaign. in 2018, trump initially denied knowing anything about it. >> mr. president, did you know about the $130,000 payment to stormy daniels? >> no. >> reporter: the grand jury has since investigated whether related business and campaign records were falsified. top house republicans are circling the wagon and criticizing the district attorney. >> some bookkeeping error from

seven years ago as a misdemeanor is now -- it makes absolutely no sense. >> reporter: florida governor ron desantis, a potential 2024 rival, called it a political investigation. >> they weaponize their office to impose a political agenda on society at the expense of the rule of law and public safety. >> reporter: but he made a pointed remark about the case. >> i don't know what goes into paying hush money to a porn star to secure silence over some type of alleged affair. i just -- i can't speak to that. >> reporter: cbs news has learned that an indictment of trump is not expected on tuesday and that trump's legal team is not negotiating with prosecutors about potential processing. but should that happen, an indictment and processing, sources tell us it would be relatively routine -- fingerprints, handcuffs, and an arraignment in open court. norah. >> robert costa with all that new reporting. thank you so much.

the city of miami beach declared a state of emergency over the weekend after a deadly start to spring break. two fatal shootings and some out of control crowds also forced the city to impose overnight curfews. gabrielle arzola of our cbs miami station has more, and we want to warn you some of the images are disturbing. >> reporter: chaos in south beach this weekend. people ran for cover after gunfire erupted friday night outside restaurants packed with customers on busy ocean drive. one man died in the hospital, and another was injured. >> i don't think i've ever ducked and hid from gunshots in my life. >> reporter: earlier sunday morning, a second deadly shooting just blocks away. surveillance video captured the gunman opening fire on a man walking on the sidewalk. >> my city doesn't need it. we really don't need to be an all-night party town. >> reporter: miami beach mayor dan gelber declared a state of emergency sunday and instituted a curfew to, quote, control excessively large and unruly crowds.
3:35 am
in addition to road closures, the curfew forces restaurants to close by midnight and banned the sale of alcohol off-site after 6:00 p.m. residents and hotel guests may be asked to show i.d. this is the third year in a row miami beach has taken emergency measures to control a surge in visitors, many traveling to florida from other cities that were facing covid lockdowns. last year, 618 people were arrested during spring break. so despite the chaos over the weekend, city commissioners declined to vote or rather extend their state of emergency or their curfew. instead, they said that liquor stores can no longer sell alcohol after 6:00 p.m. norah. >> gabrielle arzola, thank you so much. turning overseas, china's president xi jinping is in moscow for a high-profile meeting with russia's vladimir putin that lasted more than four hours. but tonight secretary of state antony blinken is blasting the

chinese leader's proposal to try and end the war in ukraine, warning the world not to be fooled. cbs's ramy inocencio reports from ukraine. >> reporter: china's president xi jinping landed in moscow, greeted by official russian pomp, then whisked to the kremlin to be the first world leader to shake putin's hand since the international criminal court accused russia's leader of war crimes last friday. xi avoided reference to that, saying chinese/russian ties are important because of shared history and strategic goals. xi is trying to position beijing as a peacemaker in the war in ukraine. beijing proposed a cease-fire in a 12-point plan that's been rejected by the west. another goal, for the two leaders to act as a counterweight to u.s. influence in the war and the world. >> a cease-fire now without a durable solution would allow president putin to rest and refit his troops and then restart the war at a time more
3:37 am
advantageous to russia. >> reporter: the russian leader made a surprise visit to the russian-occupied city of mariupol on saturday, driving himself and inspecting newly-built facilities after his forces destroyed most of the ukrainian city. his carefully choreographed tour interrupted at one point by a woman shouting in russian, "it's all a lie. it's all for show." along the front lines, there's been almost no territorial gain for russia recently, but more loss of ukrainian life. "putin says that they're not killing civilians, but they're shooting at us. they're killing us." people fighting to survive, just barely. xi jinping's visit to moscow is set to run through wednesday. he's then reportedly expected to speak to ukrainian president volodymyr zelenskyy next. he has warned beijing not to give any weapons to russia. norah. >> ramy inocencio, thank you so much. the "cbs overnight news"

>> announcer: this is the "cbs overnight news." i'm willie james inman in washington. thanks for staying with us. it was 20 years ago this week that u.s. forces invaded iraq with a mission to topple the government of saddam hussein. then-secretary of state colin powell had gone before the united nations detailing u.s. intelligence claims that iraq was building and stockpiling weapons of mass destruction. all of those claims turned out to be false. and while operation iraqi freedom led to saddam's overthrow and execution, the price was steep. $2 trillion spent. about 4,500 u.s. personnel killed.
3:41 am
another 32,000 wounded. charlie d'agata covered the conflict from the very beginning and is back in baghdad. >> reporter: a very different baghdad than 20 years ago. when i first came here, people were still living in fear under saddam hussein. then the invasion, the fighting, the rise and fall of isis, the violence has now subsided, but it's taken a horrific toll. 20 years since shock and awe. 20 years since that night air strikes and cruise missiles lit up the skies over baghdad, paving the way for u.s. ground troops to converge on the capital. in the first few weeks of the war, a group of iraqi civilians had gathered here and began attacking the statue of saddam hussein. it was an event that was shown live on tv screens around the globe. a u.s. marine unit collared the statue, yanking it until it
3:42 am
toppled to the ground. the crowd beat it with sticks and shoes, dragging its decapitated head through the streets. it came to symbolize the collapse of the saddam regime. in reality, the battle of iraq had only just begun. saddam's removal sparked a ferocious insurgency and a bloody and prolonged sectarian conflict. >> we've been through a lot. we saw some things no one should see. we lived days no one should live. >> reporter: ahmed al jabeurry was 13 years old when the country was invaded. his wife, muja, was 9. what was it like here? >> we were looking for something better. we are looking for a better future at that time. >> for hope? >> for hope, exactly. >> reporter: hope soon turned to despair. >> one day, like, it's very affected me that i opened the door waiting for my friend to come to go to school, and i found two kids, like maybe 4 or
3:43 am
5 years old, like in front of our house. >> the bodies of two children? >> the bodies of two children. >> reporter: muja experienced similar horror. "my mom was taking me to school," she said. "we saw dogs eating the dead bodies. i'll never forget that in my life." kidnappings and bombings became a daily occurrence. >> so i still remember the shouting and the screaming and the, like, the fire and the smoke everywhere. >> reporter: today the city may feel more secure, but the couple does not. >> i'm waiting for the next thing to happen. >> really? >> really. every day you wake up in the morning and you expect the worst. every single day. >> reporter: yet they're determined to stay here. baby in september. in today's baghdad, the marketplaces are bustling. most of the concrete blast walls and barbed wire are gone. iraqis tell us they're determined to put the country's

we spoke with u.s.mbaq alina ron a visit to washington, d.c. >> there's still much more that all of us could be doing, but i think we're on a cautiously optimistic path. >> what's working now that hasn't been working in the past? >> i think there are a number of things that are working now. first of all, i think you have a government that is committed to, you know, improving the lives and the services for iraqi people. i think also it is a government that is very clearly interested in building a future for iraq. >> reporter: after so much bloodshed and chaos, it may take years to build that future for iraq. but two decades after the invasion that upended this country, there is finally hope they can. now, there are some serious challenges ahead. iran's influence continues to be

3:49 am
and matt smith were ready to start a family. but after a year of trying to conceive without success, the then-34-year-olds saw a fertility doctor. >> what did they find when they tested your sperm? >> all of the most important factors were pretty low or just didn't hit the normal range. >> reporter: matt had corrective surgery, but six months later, they faced another hurdle. kristen's egg count was lower than expected. >> i was actually diagnosed with diminished ovarian reserve. >> reporter: so in 2020, they turned to in vitro fertilization, or ivf. the process required weeks of blood draws, ultrasounds, and at-home hormone shots to stimulate egg growth. mature eggs were then retrieved, fertilized with sperm in a lab, and monitored to see if they grew into embryos, which the couple then had genetically tested for viability. after four rounds of ivf, kristen and matt got their first viable embryo and their first chance at pregnancy. but when the embryo was
3:50 am
transferred to kristen's uterus, it did not implant. >> how were you feeling emotionally? >> exhausted. >> yeah, it was like a cycle. yu'd be worn out. then you'd get frustrated. >> reporter: they decided to try an egg donor. >> it's such a big decision. was it a difficult one? >> oh, yeah. you know, what are people going to say about it if they find out we use aid donor egg? you know, am i going to relate with a child because it's not my genetics? >> reporter: with donor eggs, kristen and matt were finally able to successfully transfer an embryo. but seven weeks later -- >> i woke up in the middle of the night and knew i was miscarrying. >> reporter: their next two embryo transfers also ended in miscarriages. >> i think that was a hard pill to swallow, that -- and i think we all sort of, why us? >> then we started questioning, should we be doing this. >> reporter: in addition to the
3:51 am
emotional toll, ivf can also take a financial toll. without insurance coverage, the average cost of one medicated ivf cycle is about $12,000 >> have you had to pay out of pocket? >> i would say at least 80% of what we've done has been out of pocket. >> reporter: kristen and matt are not alone in their struggle. >> it's been quite a roller coaster, so just trying to hold on to hope. >> reporter: last august, i found myself in a place i never imagined i'd be, facing my fourth ivf egg retrieval. >> i got six eggs this time. i had seven last time, four the time before. i think five the first time. >> reporter: my husband, dean simpson, and i are desperately trying to have a second child. i've been recording our journey. >> so many people struggle in silence with infertility and never talk about it. >> reporter: we married at 36 but delayed starting a family as i switched jobs. >> i was at a pivotal point in
3:52 am
my career, and honestly i wanted to wait a few years before we started trying to have a family. it's the biggest regret of my life. >> reporter: at age 38, we got pregnant quickly, but then suffered a miscarriage. pregnant again naturally, we had our son, beau, when i was 40. then at 41, another miscarriage. at 42, we started ivf. >> these are tanks where we maintain frozen eggs and embryos. in fact, your embryos are in this tank, number 59. >> wow. it's making me emotional actually. >> reporter: dr. eric forman is my reproductive endocrinologist at columbia university center in new york city. >> a lot of people including myself naively think ivf is often successful, and that just isn't the reality. >> yeah, i think that's a misperception. even with our ability to get multiple eggs and make multiple embryos, most of them cannot go on and make a healthy baby. and so most ivf cycles are not
3:53 am

4:03 am
law enforcement officials from several agencies met today to discuss security and logistics as they brace for possible violence should former president trump be indicted. steel barricades were delivered outside manhattan criminal court this morning after former president trump claimed he will be arrested on tuesday and urged supporters to "protest and take our nation back" even though there is no evidence an arrest is coming tomorrow. intelligence sources tell cbs news that they are seeing a significant increase in threats since trump's post, including violent rhetoric from domestic extremists, mostly targeted toward law enforcement, judges, and government officials in new york. >> they're a different group that could come in armed. they could come in with explosives. they could come in with molotov cocktails. >> reporter: manhattan district attorney alvin bragg told colleagues, we do not tolerate attempts to intimidate our fianwhen

>> announcer: this is the "cbs overnight news." turning overseas, china's president xi jinping is in moscow for a high-profile meeting with russia's vladimir putin that lasted more than four hours. but tonight, secretary of state antony blinken is blasting the chinese leader's proposal to try and end the war in ukraine, warning the world not to be fooled. cbs's ramy inocencio reports from ukraine. >> reporter: china's president xi jinping landed in moscow, greeted by official russian pomp, then whisked to the kremlin to be the first world leader to shake putin's hand since the international criminal court accused russia's leader of war crimes last friday.
4:11 am
xi avoided reference to that, saying chinese/russian ties are important because of shared history and strategic goals. xi is trying to position beijing as a peacemaker in the war in ukraine. beijing proposed a cease-fire in a 12-point plan that's been rejected by the west. another goal, for the two leaders to act as a counterweight to u.s. influence in the war and the world. >> a cease-fire now without a durable solution would allow president putin to rest and refit his troops and then restart the war at a time more advantageous to russia. >> reporter: the russian leader made a surprise visit to the russian-occupied city of mariupol on saturday, driving himself and inspecting newly-built facilities after his forces destroyed most of the ukrainian city. his carefully choreographed tour interrupted at one point by a woman shouting in russian, "it's
4:12 am
all a lie. it's all for show." along the front lines, there's been almost no territorial gain for russia recently, but more loss of ukrainian life. "putin says that they're not killing civilians, but they're shooting at us. they're killing us." people fighting to survive, just barely. xi jinping's visit to moscow is set to run through wednesday. he's then reportedly expected to speak to ukrainian president volodymyr zelenskyy next. he has warned beijing not to give any weapons to russia. norah. >> ramy inocencio, thank you so much. and with president xi's visit to moscow, china hopes to play a key role in brokering that deal that ends russia's brutal war in ukraine. and as we learned in our months-long reporting for "60 minutes," it's the latest attempt by the chinese government to try and be a major player on the world stage. >> i don't think china has the same vision that we do. i k hemsf at in a position of advge this precipitous increase in
4:13 am
their military force to bully others. they want to place themselves on top while we see a group of sovereign nations and free and open trade as our route to prosperity, and we want to maintain that. >> reporter: another place where the u.s. and china have a different vision is over taiwan. we visited the "uss nimitz" deployed in the western pacific, where fa-18 pilots and weapons systems officers like lieutenant commander matthew carlton go on daily training missions well aware of the stakes. >> how has the potential conflict changed how you practice here on this aircraft carrier? >> over my, you know, 12-year aviation career so far has been a mind-set of the war on terror. there was very little threat to us when we were in the air. so we're in a mind-set shift. from a training aspect, we just
4:14 am
have to ensure that we are training to the correct threat. >> i mean you were never expecting to get into a dogfight with iraqi pilots. >> correct. >> but you might with chinese pilots. >> potentially. >> how difficult is it to deter china and at the same time not increase the chance of war? >> our presence around the world needs to be stable. our actions need to be unemotional. we need to be -- we need to act with professionalism with our allies and partners. we can't afford a commanding officer out there to do something that's going to perhaps lead to an inadvertent incident between two navies. and so we train to that. so we're leaving nothing to chance with respect to how they're going to behave out there on the high seas. it has to be very measured. all right. tonight an american aid worker is free after being kidnapped anld hge f more ye wafrican

an iraqi former government adviser. >> it definitely has everything to do with regional stability. >> reporter: u.s. troops have launched air strikes against suspected iranian-backed militias in the past >> i would tell you operation inherent resolve is here with the singular mission on the defeat of isis. do we provide stability in iraq, in the region with our presence? absolutely. there's no doubt about that. >> reporter: the security situation here in baghdad has improved dramatically since the last time we were here. the blast walls and barbed wire have been taken down. it no longer feels like a war zone. norah. >> thinking about all those who have sacrificed so much. charlie d'agata, thank you for wondering what actually goes into your multivitamin? at new chapter, its' innovation, organic ingredients, and fermentation. fermentation? yes. formulated to help you body really truly absorb the natural goodness. new chapter. wellness, well done.

4:21 am
fertilized with sperm in a lab, and monitored to see if they become embryos. after four unsuccessful rounds of ivf, the couple tried an egg donor. >> it's such a big decision. was it a difficult one? >> oh, yeah. am i going to relate with the child because it's not my genetics? >> reporter: with donor eggs, kristen and matt did three more embryo transfers. all ended in miscarriages. >> i think that was a hard pill to swallow. >> reporter: they're not alone. >> so many people struggle in silence with infertility and never talk about it. >> reporter: desperately hoping to have a second child after having our son beau naturally, but also after suffering two miscarriages, my husband and i turned to ivf at 42. for women under 35, the chance of having a baby after a single ivf cycle is about 41%. but by age 42, it's down to just 9%. dr. eric forman is my fertility doctor.
4:22 am
>> even with our ability to get multiple eggs and make multiple embryos, most ivf cycles are not successful. these are tanks where we maintain frozen eggs and embryos. in fact, your embryos are in this tank. >> wow. >> reporter: after four rounds of ivf, we had just one viable embryo, which my husband and i transferred in november. >> we just found out that my pregnancy test is positive. we're so grateful and in shock. >> wow. >> reporter: weeks later, kristen and matt also got a positive pregnancy test. their latest transfer had worked. kristen and matt are 13 weeks along in their pregnancy, and i am 22 weeks pregnant. ivf is expensive, costing about $12,000 for one cycle without insurance. norah, my husband and i are so grateful we have some fertility insurance through my cbs benefits, which made this possible. >> i know, and not every state mandates that companies do that,
