fleeing again. "this is the tenth time we're evacuating," said this man.

benjamin netanyahu decide what will replace hamas as the governing body in gaza or risk israel being stuck there and with no way out. >> ramy inocencio reporting in tel aviv. thank you. israel's actions have strained relations with its most important ally, the united states. cbs's skyler henry is at the white house. skyler, it seems like communication is key here. >> reporter: that's absolutely right, jericka. even today the u.s. and israel are staying in regular communication looking for ways to deal with a dire humanitarian crisis in gaza and alternative courses of action to defeat hamas. today biden administration officials are reaffirming the u.s.'s position to stand with israel in the war against hamas. yet -- >> at the same time he's been very clear that in doing that it's imperative that israel protect civilians and make sure that humanitarian assistance gets to those who need it. >> reporter: but it's that issue that's now intensifying pressure on the president, who's already

facing domestic scrutiny. today students walked out of duke university's commencement. the latest in a series of protests on college campuses for biden's handling of the war. last week biden talked about the pause on the american delivery of 3,500 bombs to israel. concerned about the damage they would cause if there wasn't a credible plan to deal with the civilian crisis in rafah. prime minister benjamin netanyahu said israel will stand alone if it has to. now critics are raising questions. >> if israel does not go into rafah and destroy hamas in rafah, hamas will survive. >> most of these weapons, to answer your question, are precision guided weapons, and that means precise, and that means that it spares civilian casualties because the targeting is so precise. >> reporter: the latest diplomatic challenges follow a biden administration report that israel may have used some u.s. weapons in ways inconsistent with international law. prime minister netanyahu has conceded his forces have killed

more civilians than hamas militants. >> i worry that the number of civilians that are dying are ultimately going to provide permanent recruiting material to hamas and hamas will remain a threat for years to come to israel. >> reporter: for now the administration says other munitions deliveries continue. but it's also calling on israel to develop a plan for gaza's future. a strategy officials say hasn't become clear. jericka? >> skyler henry at the white house, thank you. today russia blamed ukraine for a deadly attack on an apartment building. officials in moscow say a missile struck this ten-story building in belgorod near the border with ukraine. at least six people were killed and 20 others were injured. well, for over a half century director roger corman made more than 300 films. some better than others. we learned this weekend that corman died at home in santa monica, california. he was 98. cbs's elise preston has more.

became a fixture on tv. on tuesday dunn is running for the democratic nomination for a seat in the u.s. house, representing maryland. >> you've been critical of some of the members of congress who still deny the 2020 election. who called the january 6th defendants hostages. you think you can work with them? >> we're not able to work together, it won't be because of me. now being able to have a seat at the table i could do something about it and i could be in the rooms, in those discussions. >> i'm harry dunn -- >> reporter: dunn has never run for office before but he's parlayed his activism and his recent fame into a gold mine, raising $4 million. leaning into his service on january 6th. >> i don't think i could fix it alone. but i think i can bring a very unique perspective to it. >> reporter: he's now a front-runner and a target for the nearly two dozen other democrats seeking the nomination. including annapolis, maryland state legislator sarah elfreth

who has a formidable though more traditional political resume. in six years in the state senate. >> and that's because i keep my head down, i focus on working with my colleagues, i focus on finding common solutions to the problems that we have. i'm not really a flashy candidate. >> reporter: she has a history of bipartisan bills and a post on the state budget committee but not the type of national visibility that comes from the cable tv circuit. >> someone said i didn't have quite the star power of my opponent. and instead of getting down about it i thought to myself that's not really what i want to be. that's not the congresswoman i want to be. i just want to be as boring as it may sound a good and effective representative of my community. >> reporter: as for harry dunn, he's secured some high wattage endorsements including from members of congress he helped protect on january 6th. tuesday will be an early indication of how much endorsements and a more famous face mean for voters in 2024. >> that again was scott macfarlane reporting from the capitol. well, the road to a greener future is being paved by some of

america's biggest retailers. amazon just rolled out the first of its planned fleet of heavy-duty long haul electric trucks. the online powerhouse already has an armada of smaller ev delivery fans rolling through neighborhoods from coast to coast. ben tracy explains. >> reporter: it's 7:00 a.m. at an amazon warehouse just outside of seattle. drivers are loading up their trucks -- >> alpha pad, engines on! >> reporter: and rolling out for a day of deliveries. this is like getting a brand new office, right? ? yes, that's right. >> reporter: sylvia farfin started driving one of amazon's new electric delivery trucks last year. >> it's very smooth. and the electrical vehicle is very spacious. >> reporter: had you ever driven an ev before? >> no. this is my very first time. >> reporter: the company now operates a fleet of 13,500 electric vans. part of an effort to eliminate carbon emissions from the so-called last mile of its delivery business. >> so these are the fans people

are going to start seeing pulling up in front of their homes. >> yes. we've got these vans in over 100 locations already. >> reporter: john tagaw sachlt vie president of amazon's north america operations. he says the company uses ai to map delivery routes so the vans never have to be charged up while on the road. instead they come back to amazon's custom-built charging stations at more than 120 warehouses where the batteries are charged overnight. >> we've already built over 17,000 chargers. and we're just getting started. >> reporter: it's now the largest private charging network in the country. and growing. amazon plans to have 100,000 electric vans on the road by 2030. and is the eventual goal that all of your delivery vans are electric? >> that is correct. we have this vision of achieving all of our operations to be net zero carbon by the year 2040. and it's such an obvious place to start with the last mile. >> reporter: that's because right now there is no clear way

to decarbonize its air freight, ocean shipping and much of its long haul trucking operations. in fact, amazon's overall carbon emissions have gone up by nearly 40% in the past few years as the company rapidly expands. electrifying its delivery fleet is one way to combat that. >> when you're picking one of these charging locations, you need to make sure that you can get connected to the grid. >> yeah. >> reporter: tom champananakal's job is to make sure amazon gets all the necessary local permits and approvals to bring power from the grid to its charging stations. has this been one of the more challenging parts of this? >> it is definitely one of the -- it's the longest pole for sure. it's what takes the longest time to get going because the power is a critical part of it. >> reporter: in & amazon faces another potential challenge. most of its electric vans are made by rivian, which was once the darling of the ev world. it's been a rough road lately as demand for its expensive electric trucks and suvs has

fallen, leading to i aplummeting stock price and layoffs. >> we're delivering them as we speak. >> reporter: we were with rivian's ceo at its illinois plant in 2022 as the amazon vans first started rolling off the assembly line. >> rivian is having some real challenges as a company. are you concerned at all about their ability to keep delivering these fans for you? >> we're excited about the partnership with rivian. that's all i can say. >> do you feel safer in this vehicle? >> yes, i do. >> reporter: delivery drivers like sylvia farfin say 360 camera sensors make the new vans feel safer. and now that she's gone electric -- >> do you think you could go back to driving one of the old gas-powered vans? >> no. not at all. i like this way too much for me i like this way too much for me to go back to a when enamel is gone, you cannot get it back. but you can repair it with pronamel repair. it penetrates deep into the tooth to actively repair acid weakened enamel. i recommend pronamel repair. with new pronamel repair mouthwash you can enhance that repair beyond brushing.

need to be a mom. >> reporter: she emptied her savings to cover fertility treatments, ultimately using sperm donated by a friend. after three years of trying she had zola. seven-plus pounds of pure wonder. >> and it was oh, my gosh, i'm taking home a human. and she was perfect. >> reporter: codec belongs to the organization single mothers by choice. its 30,000 members are part of a growing trend. women having babies alone because they're tired of waiting for the one or they simply want to parent solo. >> you could do this all day, couldn't you? >> reporter: like emma ramos, mother to 2-year-old michael. >> if you had to choose one word to describe life as a single mom by choice, what would it be? >> can it be two words? i would say just like beautiful chaos. >> reporter: as a teenager ramos dreamed of having a child, not a partner. modern attitudes have helped

make that possibl. today more than 3/4 of americans find single parenting acceptable, although more support a two-parent household. >> that speaks to the misconception that we have somehow purposely handicapped our children by, you know, only bringing them into the world with one parent. >> you obviously make all the decisions. >> mm-hmm. >> is it a blessing and a curse? >> decision-making i would say is a blessing. but then i suppose if i make the wrong decision i'm the only one, you know, to blame, i guess. >> reporter: just in time for this mother's day, zola kodak turned 11. >> having a single mom by choice can be hard. like when you're first growing up. but then my mom just wanted me, nobody else. >> everything i do i do for her. this house is for her. my job. it's all for her. >> reporter: two single moms

living with their choices and their children and loving both. >> i love you. >> i love you too. >> reporter: nikki battiste, cbs news, new york. as we reflect on mother's day, we know that there are times when a mother's love can lead to miracles. steve hartman found this remarkable story on the road. >> reporter: for peggy means of dewagiac, michigan mother's day was just another x on the calendar. just another day without her daughter. in 2017 jennifer was critically injured in a car crash. she was 35. >> on life support? >> yeah. >> and did the doctor tell you she wasn't going to make it? >> he said that she's not going to wake up, you know. and of course i collapsed. you know, it was -- it was terrible. >> reporter: her only daughter in a coma with virtually no chance of ever coming out of it. and yet peggy refused to let doctors pull the plug.

>> did you question your decision at any point? >> no. >> not after year one? >> no. >> year two, three, four? >> mm-mm. >> five? >> never. i just couldn't let her go. >> yeah. >> reporter: one by one, jennifer's friends stopped visiting. even her husband moved on with his life. and yet almost every day her mom was there to comfort and care. and always talking to her, as if jennifer could actually understand. which of course she couldn't. until she could. it started with a laugh. jennifer had been off life support but still in a coma when her mom said something funny. and that was it. >> oh, lord have mercy. >> reporter: a year later jennifer came home. although she still can't walk and struggles to speak, her mind is sharp and her heart filled with joy. >> what's the best part about being back among us?

>> everything. >> everything? >> yeah. >> reporter: she especially loves visiting with her boys. and as for peggy, the mom who made these moments possible, this mother's day may be her best one ever. because even though she won't be getting flowers or candy jennifer can now muster those words that matter most and deliver them as sincerely as they've ever been spoken. >> you love your mom? >> yes.
