Turning overseas now to the war in the middle east, israeli air strikes are intensifying with Ground Forces conducting a targeted raid into gaza in their hunt for hamas militants. Cbss Charlie Dagata is in tel aviv, where the military is preparing for the next stage of the war. Reporter Israeli Defense forces released this overnight footage said to show its tanks crossing into northern gaza, conducting a targeted raid. Armored bulldozers paved the way. Tanks opened fire on suspected hamas targets before withdrawing. The idf described the operation as preparations for the next stage of combat.

Has dispatched Lieutenant General james glynn as a top adviser here. A specialist in urban warfar on the battlefields of fallujah and mosul in iraq. In gaza today, with the death toll mounting to more than 7,000 according to officials there, so, too, is the sadness, anger, and desperation. They count the shrouded bodies even as more arrive. At least 50 hostages are among those killed. Hamas Health Officials claim tonight, victims of israeli bombardment. Cbs news cant independently verify those numbers. Locating the remaining captives hidden in the maze of tunnels beneath gaza will be extremely difficult says former Israeli Intelligence chief chaim tomer. Its kind of a mission impossible. To find the hostages intelligencewise is very, very difficult, almost on the line of impossible. Reporter best case scenario, hamas releases at least some of the hostages. Worstcase scenario doesnt end well for anyone. The moment you kidnap babies and old ladies, there are no rules anymore. No rules.

Back here in washington, the new speaker of the house, Louisiana Republican mike johnson, met with President Biden today at the white house. Until now the staunch conservative was little known outside his state and party. And as Nikole Killion reports, hes remaining tight lipped about some of his positions. Reporter on his second day on the job, Speaker Mike Johnson continued to dodge questions about his efforts to overturn the 2020 election. Do you believe the 2020 election was stolen, sir . Just gentyes or no . Reporter after the election, johnson in coordination with thenpresident donald trump recruited more than 100 republicans to sign on to a brief supporting a lawsuit to overturn the results. He also promoted conspiracy theories about rigged voting Machine Software in a radio interview. When you have, you know, a Software System that is used all around the country that is suspect because it came from hugo chavezs venezuela. Reporter democrats are concerned johnson could again try to block certification of the Electoral College results next year if President Biden wins again. His track record with respect to trying to overturn the results of the 2020 election speaks for itself. Reporter johnson opponents are also singling out his views on abortion rights. There is no right to abortion in the constitution, period. Reporter before entering office, johnson called abortion a holocaust that has been repeated every day for 32 years since 1973s roe v. Wade. As a congressman, hes cosponsored at least three bills that would ban the procedure nationwide. Do you intend to pursue a National Abortion ban as speaker, sir . Reporter but he had nothing to say today about how he will govern going forward. Johnson is also staunchly antigay rights. In 2004, he called homosexuality inherently unnatural and voted against legalizing samesex marriage. Moderate republicans argue that despite views they may disagree with, hell be an efficient speaker. And he recognizes the need that irrespective of prior positions, hes going to have to weave us together towards a common goal. Reporter several republican lawmakers told us they dont think speaker johnson will inject his personal views into his new role. For his part, johnson also expressed a willingness to work across the aisle, calling his meeting today with President Biden productive. Adriana. Nikole killion, thank you.

But we begin tonight here in maine with a community reeling. 18 people were killed and more than a dozen others injured after a gunman opened fire inside a Bowling Alley and then in a nearby bar. Tonight the suspect remains on the run, with the fbi joining state police in the search for 40yearold robert card, who is considered armed and dangerous. Authorities are asking for the publics help in tracking down the Army Reservist who was hospitalized this summer for Mental Health issues, including hearing voices. And tonight theres fbi activity, including multiple vehicles and heavily armed agents around the suspects last known residence in bowdoin, maine. Tonight, a massive manhunt by air, land, and sea for the suspected gunman behind a mass shooting in southern maine, with police on alert from canada to new york. We have an active shooter. We have multiple injuries. Reporter gunfire rang out shortly before 7 00 p. M. Wednesday at just in time recreation Bowling Alley, the first of two shooting scenes in lewiston, maine. Seven people were killed. A witness described the chaos. Basically into where the pins are and climbed up in the machine and was on top of the machines for about ten minutes until the cops got there. Reporter minutes later at 7 08 p. M. , frantic 911 calls began streaming in with reports of an active shooter at schemengees bar and grill four miles away. Eight people there were found dead. More than a dozen people were injured in both shootings. Three victims later died at the hospital. We had approximately 100 team members who were off duty come into the hospital to help ensure that we were able to care for not only the patients that we received from this horrible scene, but also take care of the patients that we had there. Reporter multiple Law Enforcement agencies, including the fbi and state police, responded to the scenes, searching for the suspect, 40yearold Army Reservist robert card, shown in these surveillance photos carrying a semiautomatic rifle. He should be considered armed and dangerous. Based on our investigation, we believe this is someone that should not be approached. Reporter three hours after the shooting began, police discovered an suv registered to the suspect at a boat launch in the town of lisbon. Residents in three nearby communities were advised to shelter in place. Today many schools and businesses were closed. This is a dark day for maine. Reporter the mass shooting has shattered a sense of security in maine, considered one of the safest states in the country. Governor janet mills spent years working in lewiston. This city did not deserve this terrible assault on its citizens, on its peace of mind, on its sense of security. No city does. No state, no people. Reporter with that multistate manhunt under way, residents here are still being told to shelter in place tonight. Investigators are looking into a possible motive into the shootings, including why the two locations for the attacks were chosen. Cbss jeff pegues has learned new details about the suspects military experience as well as his history of mental illness. Reporter cbs news has learned that investigators are looking into whether robert card was targeting his current or former girlfriend in last nights mass shooting. Sources say he went to the Bowling Alley first and then the bar nearly four miles away. Its unclear if the person was at either location. Today police also found a note at the gunmans house, though its unclear what it says. This is an all hands on deck approach. Reporter Law Enforcement Officials Say card is an Army Reservist. The army says he enlisted in the reserves in 2002 and is now a sergeant first class. He worked as a Petroleum Supply specialist and has had no combat deployments. In july of this year, card was with his unit at west point when leaders reported that he was acting erratically. New York State Police took him to an Army Hospital for an evaluation. A maine Law Enforcement bulletin said that card was released about two weeks later. The alert also noted card was hearing voices and had threatened to shoot up a military installation in southern maine. Cards cousin, michael mercier. Hes got a lot of problems up in his head right now. One of them is schizophrenic. Reporter tom chittum, a former associate Deputy Director of the atf, says despite the mental evaluation, federal law would not prohibit card from having such a weapon. Simply being diagnosed with a Mental Health disorder is not disqualifying, and neither is a commitment when it is voluntary, or a brief commitment for observation. Reporter last night, investigators found cards vehicle at a boat launch. Sources say Law Enforcement is searching for a boat that he could have used to escape. He has a military background and may have an advantage, but keep in mind many of these Law Enforcement officers, they are hunters, they are fishermen, and they have military backgrounds as well. Reporter the gunman was heavily armed for this assault. Investigators believe that he may have used an extended magazine as well as a scope. A firearm was recovered in that abandoned vehicle. And, jericka, intelligence sources are telling cbs news that they believe that that recent breakup may have been a significant destabilizing event in the gunmans life. That said, there is still no clear motive right now for this shooting. All right. Jeff pegues for us tonight, thank you. Lets go to cbss adriana diaz in washington for the rest of todays top stories.

The race to the moon is getting competitive. Chinas long march rocket lifted off yesterday from the gobi desert carrying three astronauts to the countrys space station. Their mission is scheduled to last at least six months and include a spacewalk to fix some damage caused by space junk. But u. S. Intelligence says beijing has much grander ambitions, such as a permanent space station on the lunar surface. Nasa as a similar goal. Mark strassmann reports. Reporter china has all the markings of a rising space power. A reliable rocket program, an orbiting space station, and rovers on the moon and mars. So you got to give them credit. Theyre good. Reporter nasa administrator bill nelson. Are we in a new space race . Were in a space race for us to go back to the moon, for them to get to the moon. Reporter this space races prize, the moons south pole, where theres ice. That means water, air, and rocket fuel, critical to use the moon as a springboard to mars. The u. S.

Reporter nelson points to chinas sweeping territorial claims across the south china sea. Thats my concern about them getting to the south pole before us, is they get there, and they say, this is our territory. You stay out. Reporter kevin pole peter has studied chinas space moves for more than two decades. And then we would get into a situation that could turn from competition perhaps into conflict. Weve got a situation over here. Reporter thats what happens in apple tvs original series for all mankind, a competition between countries to mine scarce lunar resources turns deadly. Space is no longer science fiction, and if the United States does not maintain its lead, we are at risk of losing our national and economic security. Reporter its unclear what conflict on the moon might look like. Its a new day in space exploration. Reporter but to lift that threat, the u. S. And 28 other nations have signed the artemis accords, a kind of best practices for exploring the moon responsibly. By law, nasa cant cooperate with china. But nasa says even china can commit to the accords principles. You want to have a peaceful approach to space, an international approach. The chinese are not willing to do that. Reporter china says it has advocated for peace and world cooperation in space, and its lunars partners include russia, pakistan, and venezuela. And liftoff of artemis i. Reporter for nasa, the race back to the moon is a marathon. After a test flight last year, the agency plans to send a crew around the moon late next year. Then in 2026, a moon landing mission. But supply chain problems, technical challenges, and other delays threaten nasas schedule. Are you concerned that those delays could be significant enough that the chinese would get there first . We should be landing before they would have a chance. But beware because they are very aggressive. Reporter this year, china announced its lunar timetable is accelerating.

Fans of rap and hiphop are flocking to the Brooklyn Public Library for a massive exhibit featuring the life and work of music mogul of sean jayz carter. Jayz gave gayle king a personal tour of the show and sat down for an interview. May i give you the book of hope . Sure. Thank you.

Yeah. So youre very familiar with this building. Hey lok how they i love that. Thats right. I love that. So when you drive by and you see words to your song on the library yeah, its unbelievable. Its fascinating. I didnt think that it would be so grand. So grand . Yeah. What did you think . It couldnt be a little exhibit . I thought it was just like a little exhibit to get, you know, like a room . A room. Reporter inside, the installation created by jayzs company that would be rock nation youll find the scope of the rappers body of work and origin stories, including this hand symbol. Its my understanding your team did this for you, and you didnt really know what they were doing. What did you think was happening . I didnt know anything about it. But when they asked me to do an impression for the hands, i did the impression. And i didnt even question it. I just left it alone. What does this mean . Where did you get that idea from to do that . When we first started, we had a group call chris strong. When you sell 10 million, you go diamond. We were like, this group is going to sell 10 million records. So we started putting the diamond up for chris john. Then we started playing with it. Then we started doing it at shows. Then the whole crowd started doing it, and it just stuck. Reporter jayzs music career spans over three decades. His 13 studio albums are all highlighted here. We have to start with reasonable doubt because no record label wanted to do this. Rightfully so. I think i needed to grow into this album right here. Had i gone to a label, i dont fully explore what was really happening. Really . Because i had the freedom, like the independence to like really talk about, like, the real stuff that was happening for me and my friends at the time. Record labels would have said you need a big head. You need this. When you look at these covers, are there stories that come to mind . Yeah. So this album was the streets favorite. This album i was trying to go into, like, the music business. So the first song i made on this album was streets is watching us, which is the last song i played for biggie. He kept saying, play it again, play it again. I gave him the it was on the cassette. Ill never forget, he looked back. Hes like the whole album going to sound like this . And it was almost like it was playful, but it was almost also like, man, hes coming, hes coming. Im going to try not to do this too many times on the tour. But honestly when i walked in this room, just take a look at all of the visuals of you up there. What does this mean to you . I mean its your face everywhere. I know. I cant imagine. No, its unbelievable. First of all, its brooklyn. Lets start there, right . What does brooklyn mean to you, jayz sean carter . Everything. Its everything. You know what else i think is so interesting . Number one, its in the library. You got to talk quiet in the library. I know. This room i like in particular because one of the great lyrics i love that you did, im not a businessman. Im a business, comma, man. I love that lyric. Your play on words is genius. Thank you. Its one im proud of as well because its really the its a simple phrase, but the space gives it meaning. Reporter and the businessminded mogul has pursued everything from fashion to football. In 2022, the halftime show he helped produce made history, winning an emmy for outstanding variety special. That was a super bowl first. That beat out the grammys. That beat out the tonys for the best show, and it was 13 minutes. Yeah. What did that mean to you . For me as a kid growing up on, like, snoop and dre and all them and being a fan of what they do on the west coast, to be a part of something that had them onstage in l. A. , and the fact that it never happened before is one of the things that, you know, i take pride in. Like pushing the culture forward. Reporter and hes using his platform to push for change in the justice system. In 2019, jayz helped launch the Reform Alliance with a goal of transforming the countrys approach to probation and parole. Its not an easy job. This is a really tough space to deal with, and i think and it means something to you. Yeah, because i think at the end of the day, were losing a lot of mentors and a lot of people that would be positive members of society. Reporter our tour also showcased one of jayzs biggest business moves, reclaiming his music. Now, these are the masters, jay. As you know, people are selling their masters these days. Would you ever sell your masters this. No. Never . No, no. Why not . I get why people do it. Ive been fortunate enough to make money in this place. But for me, it was the fight of my life. You know, for me, an independent company from the beginning, and then going through the def jam system, not really understanding how that works and them having my masters, then going back to def jam as the president. Then saying, okay, ill do this job, and part of this is job is my masters have to revert back to me. You know, for my kids to see my work, and if they decide to sell it, its up to them. Im fascinated by the trajectory of your life because it could have gone so left, so many different ways, so many different times. Do you even find yourself today sometimes, i cant believe this has happened to me . You wont believe how many times i do that a week. Seriously . I do that all the time. When you walk in a room, people know youre in the room. You have your hands in many different pots, and im trying to figure out what matters most to you. Can you even pick anything like that . I think what matters most today is being a beacon and helping out my people of color. I think i pull the most satisfaction from that. Making music early was like my first love. I could sit there for hours. It consumed me, just finding words and figuring out words and how to say this and different ways to say that and different pockets and melodies and how to write this song. That consumed me. Thats why my pace was so fast. I had so much material. And i think now, you know, the idea of taking that platform and reproducing it for others or doing Something Like reform, et cetera, et cetera, i think i derive the most joy from female i grew up in a home that didnt have running water. My shoes always had holes in them. I know how it is to be poor. I listened to a message of dr. Stanleys, talking about, you know, how you never really live your life until you actually give it away. He kinda gave me that push to get out there and really do something. The latest Green Technology is designed to literally vacuum the carbon out of the air. Skyler henry reports.

If we have any chance of meeting climate goals, we need billions of tons of carbon to come out of the atmosphere. Reporter erin burns of the nonprofit carbon 180 says the public has to start now.

This city did not deserve this terrible assault on its citizens, on its peace of mind, on its sense of security. No city does. No state, no people. Reporter with that multistate manhunt under way, residents here are still being told to shelter in place tonight. Investigators are looking into a possible motive into the shootings, including why the two locations for the attacks were chosen. Cbss jeff pegues has learned new details about the suspects military experience as well as his history of mental illness. Reporter cbs news has learned that investigators are looking into whether robert card was targeting his current or former girlfriend in last nights mass shooting. Sources say he went to the Bowling Alley first and then the bar nearly four miles away. Its unclear if the person was at either location. Today police also found a note at the gunmans house, though its unclear what it says. This is an all hands on deck approach. Reporter Law Enforcement Officials Say card is an Army Reservist. The army says he enlisted in the reserves in 2002 and is now a sergeant first class. He worked as a Petroleum Supply specialist and has had no combat deployments. In july of this year, card was with his unit at west point when leaders reported that he was acting erratically. New York State Police took him to an Army Hospital for an evaluation. A maine Law Enforcement bulletin said that card was released about two weeks later. The alert also noted card was hearing voices and had threatened to shoot up a military installation in southern maine. Cards cousin, michael mercier. Hes got a lot of problems up in his head right now. One of them is schizophrenic. Reporter tom chittum, a former associate Deputy Director of the atf, says despite the mental evaluation, federal law would not prohibit card from having such a weapon. Simply being diagnosed with a Mental Health disorder is not disqualifying, and neither is a commitment when it is voluntary, or a brief commitment for observation. Reporter last night, investigators found cards vehicle at a boat launch. Sources say Law Enforcement is searching for a boat that he could have used to escape. He has a military background and may have an advantage, but keep in mind many of these Law Enforcement officers, they are hunters, they are fishermen, and they have military backgrounds as well.
