This is our western edition. Heaven knows, california needs the rain, but when the heavens opened up today, they unleashed one heck of a storm. Expected to be the biggest of the season.

This is the area were concerned about. This is the pineapple express. Reporter eric bold is a meteorologist with the National Weather system. He says noral rainfall for los angeles is about 15 inches per year. So far, the city has seen 5. 89 inches and would need about 30 inches to significantly impact the drought. Drought impacts from this storm, its going to be a drop in a bucket. We need many storms like this, probably at least 10 goodsized storm systems to get out of the drought. So this will be one of those storms. The hope is all the water will stay between the sandbags and concrete barriers, that it will go into the storm drains and not someones home. Scott, meteorologists say if the rains start falling a half inch an hour or more thats when we can get mudslides that often go right over these barriers. Pelley california can use it but not so fast.

After a decade of trying to solve the problem, takata says a review panel will investigate.

Takata is still resisting demand for a National Recall of airbags. Regarding that accident in minnesota, bmw says its not aware of any confirmed problems with airbags in the vehicles but out of an abundance of caution, scott, theyve recalled all passenger airbags nationwide. Pelley jeff, thanks. And weve posted the vehicles recalled so far on our web site, cbsnews. Com.

I said many times to you that we dont want to panic. I mean it. Reporter but they are panicking in nations where crude is a critical part of the economy. In russia, where oil and gas account for twothirds of exports and half the countrys revenue, the government today forecast the country could slip into recession next year. But analysts dont see oil prices bouncing back quickly. The oil prices are right around 70 now. We may see them back up to 80 or 85 but 100 now is very, very far away. Reporter the u. S.

Justice correspondent bob orr has the latest. Reporter sources say the cyber attack on Sony Pictures used an especially aggressive malware, capable of erasing hard drives and crashing computer networks. Hackers calling themselves the guardians of peace stole the personal information of more than 6,000 sony employees and four unreleased sony films were posted to the internet. Now investigators are wondering if attack might be retaliation for another upcoming sony movie, the interview, a comedy in which tv reporters are recruited to assassinate northern Korean Leader kim jung un. You want us to kill the leader of north korea . Yes. What reporter now, investigators wonder if the plot of that movie may have triggered retaliation against sony. Sources say the malware code is written in korean, and north korean hackers have used a similar cyber weapon before. In a 2013 attack on banks and broadcasters in south korea. This signals a new capability for north korea. Reporter cyber analyst james lewis says the use of Malicious Software that can destroy data is an escalation on the cyber front. Most of the breaches are smash and grab. So if the North Koreans did, indeed, erase data, thats a step up. Thats more like an attack than what weve seen in the past. Reporter and lewis says that kind of damage can be permanent if Companies Like sony dont routinely back up sensitive files. Ng if youre going to make fun of the leader, maybe you should think twice if you dont have backups. Reporter the f. B. I. Has not publicly identified north korea as a suspect in the case, but federal investigators are sharing information about the malware with other companies and urging them to immediately tighten cyber defenses. Pelley bob orr in the newsroom tonight. Bob, thanks very much. Today, republicans are settling on a strategy to counter the Immigration Reform plan the president is enacting by executive action. That plan will allow millions of people in this country illegally to avoid deportation. Nancy cordes tells us republicans are planning to use the power of the purse. Reporter the top idea is to use next weeks government funding deadline to send a message to the president. House Speaker John Boehner wants to fund the entire government through next fall, except for the department of Homeland Security, which implements immigration policy. That agency would only get funded for a few months, giving republicans a chance to make targeted immigration cuts once they control all of Congress Come january. Some conservatives want to try to make those cuts now, but most g. O. P. Members seem to side with boehner who is trying to avoid the kind of funding fight that led to a Government Shutdown last year. I think they understand its going to be difficult to take meaningful action as long as weve got democratic control in the senate. Reporter the chances of a shutdown dropped dramatically this afternoon when Senate Leader harry reid signaled he might actually be open to the boehner bill. I think its a shame that theyre not going to include a very important Homeland Security appropriation bill, but i understand why theyre doing it. Reporter its rare for a leader to give way this early, but truth be told, scott, congress has been funding the government in fits and starts for the past few years anyway. So a bill that funds almost the entire government through the end of the fiscal year might actually represent an improvement. Pelley nancy cordes at her post on capitol hill. Nancy, thanks very much.
