Major . Garrett nikole killion, asking key questions, thank you. This is the cbs overnight news. Former Vice President joe biden is as he continues his running mate search joe biden is said to be considered from a group of female governors, law mack ares and former Obama Administration officials. Two contenders spoke out sunday. Any one of the women whose names have been mentioned to be considered are fabulous women and well prepared to step up and do the job of Vice President. Absolutely, i do feel that i could do the job. As biden reviews his options, cbs news analyst robby mook who led Hillary ClintonsCampaign Said the former Vice President is likely trying to answer two main questions. Who do you think is prepared to be president of the United States should something happen to you. But also who do you want to be your partner, you know, in the west wing and the with us. Former new mexico governor Bill Richardson was considered for vp by al gore, john kerry and barack obama. I went through the process because it is an honor. He warned the process can place a big burden on the contenders family. Your life is going to change dramatically, but at the same time that you can possibly make a big contribution to the country. In 2008 obama also considered former kansas governor Kathleen Sebelius who recalled turning over reams of personal and financial informaton. To say it isnt fun is an understatement. Imagine an irs audit on top of a, you know, social audit, on top of a quizzing every, in my case, every vote i had taken. Sebelius said she is especially eager to see who biden chooses this year. Joe biden having designated a woman from the outset to be his running mate has created a whole new platform. And i find that very exciting. Everyone we spoke to said that personal chemistry between biden and his running mate will be key to making that team a success. So if you look at that list of contenders and wonder who has biden actually worked with before in the past, the only name on that list is former Obama National security advisor susan rice. Major . Garrett possibly a clue. Ed, thanks so much. Florida appears to have escaped the worse of isaias. Tonight once a hurricane, now a Tropical Storm, its churning off the states east coast and heading north. Forecasters say it could gain power on its way. Manuel bojorquez is in riviera beach. Even with the center off shore, isaias released high winds and dangerous surf along floridas coast. In riviera beach, rob swan is relieved it wasnt a direct hit. But this one kind of storm stopped, hung a right, and basically seems like it is offshore. So it was pretty much a nonevent. Closures may not be reflected. Isaias was unforgiving over parts of the bahamas devastated last year by dorian dumplting flooding rain in areas still recovering. Florida officials warped residents to avoid the rough surf and stay prepared. Murphys lawmakers if something can go wrong, it will. Dont take chances, be ready. Tonight isaias is expected to continue straight up the east coast before reaching carolina tomorrow and bringing substantial rain amounts into the new week. Major . Manuel bojorquez, thank you. The number of covid19 cases worldwide stands at nearly 18 million with the highest case total outside the United States brazil, india, and russia. Elizabeth palmer reports from london. Southern australia grappling with a big spike in covid cases declared a state of disaster this weekend and ordered a fresh lockdown with an 8 00 pl kerr few. Across europe, too, there have been upticks in infections. In britain where life and summer had been getting back to normal, the government reversed direction and tightened up the rules. French and german officials are so worried about local surges, they started Free Covid Testing at airports. And masks have become mandatory in most places, even the beach. Though not in moscow, where officials allowed the citys Half Marathon to go ahead. A crowded field widely ignored social distancing, even as the country counted almost five and a half thousand new covid cases in 24 hours. The recent uptick in europe follow broad easing of the coronavirus rules and then people letting their guard down. The situation is very different in the developing world. South africa is a good example. Extreme poverty and overcrowding, coupled with an overburdened Healthcare System means the country has half of africas covid cases. It also has three times as many covid deaths as it had just a month ago. In countries like india, which is seeing 50,000 new cases a day, the virus thrives in the slums. India is now on course to overtake the United States in having the worst outbreak on earth. Elizabeth palmer, cbs news, london. Garrett there is a lot more news ahead on the cbs overnight news.

But last week we learned its days are numbered. And here is kris van cleave. July has been a tough month for fans of the 747. The economic fallout of the coronavirus made this the final landing of a quantas 747 just after nearly 50 days of service. Days before British Airlines ground its entire 747 fleet and wednesday boeing announced it will fill the final order for the iconicjet dubbed the queen of the skies in 2022. There is a bit of me on every one of those airplanes, so it is kind of an odd feeling to see that phasing out. Kind of traumatic. In a way. We talked to boeing employee Paul Chamberlin in 2017 for cbs sunday morning. He had worked on the 747 line for 27 years. Every time it takes off i get goosebumps, to think that something this big, something this awesome just lifted off. In 1966 pannal asked boeing pan am asked boeing starting from scratch and nearly bankrupting the company, boeing humpbacked double decker jumbo jet made its first flight three years later. Your airline wasnt an airliner unless you had a 747. Boeing historian, because of the size, because of the economy, because of its reign, it made flying affordable. The 747s four engines carried the Space Shuttle across the country and five u. S. President s around the world. Good morning. We were there in november 2017 when uniteds final 747 left San Francisco for honolulu, retracing its original route 47 years earlier. Thomas lee was there at the beginning. Why was it so important for you to be here today for this flight . Well, having been on the first flight of the 747, naturally it is wonderful opportunity to be on the last flight. While its passenger days are dwindling, 747s will fly for years to come as freighters and as the new air force one. Five decades later, the final chapter in this queens reign.

You are fully loaded and completely equipped for the race thats been designed for you. Garrett we end with a night at the opera, in this era of social distancing Chris Livesay reports how an ancient place in rome has become a safe performance place. Snebd more than 2,000 years ago it was chariot races that drew romans here to the circus maximus. Today its Opening Night of the rigoletto reinterrupted with a 1970s setting. But the audience is unmistakably from 2020. Safely seated more than six feet apart, something the opera couldnt achieve inside its concert hall or smaller outdoor venue. Now picture it, this is the same race track where emperor nero would race his chariot before 150,000 screaming romans. Now today because of social distancing and coronavirus, its only 1500 spectators here at the opera. Snebd soprano rosa feola says circus maximus spanning two football fields is a godsend. It is four onths that we are not allowed to sing in theaters because it is not safe place. So we were waiting for this moment to come back to life again. So i feel like a very young, young, young singer again. Even
