President trump took a victory lap today just one day after his acquittal by the senate, holding up headlines from newspaper whose subscriptions he said he would cancel and mixing shout outs to supporters and putdowns of his enemies. Ben tracy reports tonight from the white house. Reporter President Trump entered the east room filled with his supporters and claimed victory, but also painted himself as a victim. We went through hell unfairly, did nothing wrong. Reporter he then aired three years worth of grievances. It was dirty cops. It was leakers and liars. Russia, russia, russia. It was all bull bleep . Reporter the president was not contrite. He did not apologize except to his family. For having them have to go through a phony, rotten deal by some very evil and sick people. Reporter the hourlong, largely unscripted performance was a stark contrast to bill clintons lessthantwominute long speech after his acquittal in 1999. I want to say again to the American People how profoundly sorry i am. Reporter today was about president ial payback, aimed at mr. Trumps political opponents. Adam schiff is a vicious, horrible person. Nancy pelosi is a horrible person. Reporter on the other end of pennsylvania avenue, the speaker returned the favor. Hes impeached forever, no matter what he says or whatever headlines he wants to carry around. Reporter President Trump is also not hiding his contempt for mitt romney, the only republican senator who voted to convict. My faith is at the heart of who i am. Reporter this morning, President Trump questioned that at the National Prayer breakfast. I dont like people who use their faith as justification for doing what they know is wrong. Reporter in his speech today, President Trump also railed against the in investigations into his 2016 campaign. Attorney general bill barr was here at the white house for that speech. He now says any investigations into the 2020 candidates have to be approved by him. Norah. Odonnell all right, ben, thank you. Well, tonight another group of americans is heading home from the outbreak zone in china. About 250 evacuees will arrive in san antonio, texas, tomorrow. 70 others are going to omaha, nebraska. Theyll be quarantined on military bases for two weeks getting checked for that deadly coronavirus. Theres also an update tonight about those americans infected aboard a cruise ship. Ramy inocencio has the new details. Reporter tonight, three americans are among 20 passengers who have tested positive for coronavirus on a luxury cruise ship off the coast of japan. They were seen being escorted off the diamond princess cruise liner to be taken to a mainland hospital for treatment. They were among 3,700 passengers on lockdown, some of whom have posted video of what its like on board masked health workers, virtually deserted public spaces. One passenger called the ship a floating luxury prison. Looking at nearly two more weeks confined to her cabin, Trudy Clement is unsettled. Apparently were going to be allowed out to stretch our legs tomorrow, but we are being supervised when we do that, and we only can go to a certain area of the ship, and we must mask up. Reporter clement says she feels like an alien. We look down off the balcony and we see all these people masked, gowned, gloves and its just like the people who deliver food to our room. You open the door and you feel like e. T. At the end of the movie. Reporter in china, one of the doctors who sounded the alarm about coronavirus died today of the illness. Meanwhile, two newborns, one barely 30 hours old, have been diagnosed with the virus. And here in hong kong, another 4,000 people have been quarantined on this ship, the world dream over the past two days. Now, thats after more than 30 crew members complained of feeling sick. Were waiting on final test results. Norah. Odonnell all right, ramy, thank you. Well, we thought by tonight we would know who won iowas caucuses, but the results were delayed even further when the chairman of the Democratic National committee called for a recanvas, or a review of the vote. Tonight, ed okeefe has the candidates reaction. Thank you all for being here. Reporter with Iowa Democrats under pressure to count the votes again, senator Bernie Sanders called the delay unfair and an outrage before claiming victory in the caucus. We are now ahead by over 2,500 votes. Reporter thats in the popular vote. Pete buttigeig has claimed victory based on his lead in state delegates. Reporter why not let iowa finish counting first before declaring victory . Given the fact that we have waited three days, and now theres the talk of another recount, maybe we might want the decision of the iowa caucus before the november election. Reporter and its call for a recanvas the chairman of the Democratic National committee tweeted, enough is enough, and said it was necessary to ensure Public Confidence in the results. The Iowa Democratic party said its ready to move forward if it gets a request from a president ial campaign. Meanwhile, sanders announced he raised 25 million in january, more than any other Democratic Candidates raised in the entire. And a new poll shows sanders ahead in New Hampshire with buttigieg second. New hampshire is New Hampshire, and New Hampshire is not the kind of place to let iowa or anybody else tell you what to do. Reporter a recanvas of the iowa results is unlikely because no campaign has requested one. Meanwhile, here in New Hampshire today, state officials went to Great Lengths to assure residents nothing like what happened in iowa will happen here next tuesday on primary day. Norah. Odonnell all right, well be there. Thank you, ed. A new investigation is raising serious questions about the safety of a popular booster car seat for children. Video obtained by the investigative website propublica shows a dummy being violently tossed around during a side crash test. They found one company marketed its booster seats for children who experts worry may be too small to be fully protected in such crashes. Kris van cleave has one familys story. Reporter Jillian Brown was about to start kindergarten in 2016 when her world changed. Her parents, jay and lyndsay the first thing i did was look back to. To see to check on the girls. Reporter lyndsay was driving her daughters, jillian and samantha, to daycare when they were hit on the drivers side. Jillian was in an evenflo big kids booster seat but was internally decapitated, paralyzed from the neck down in the crash. Now a ventilator keeps her alive. The browns are now suing evenflo, but the company says jillians booster performed as designed and the injuries were primarily due to the severity of the crash and or driver error. Her booster meets or exceeds federal standards and was side impact crash tested, but theres no federal standard for that test, and videos of evenflos crash tests obtained by propublica show booster seats passing, even though the child sized test dummy is tossed about. Dr. Ben hoffman reviewed the videos. I think the word they used to describe them initially was horrific. Human beings just arent built to survive that amount of movement. Reporter a car seat with a harness fares better in the crash test. The dummy largely stays in place. In the booster seat, the dummy slips out of the seat belts shoulder restraint. During depositions obtained by propublica, evenflo employees explained the only way to fail the companys crash test is if the dummy falls completely out of the seat or if the seat itself breaks. Evenflo touted its side impact test as something that was rigorous. The test was anything but rigorous. Reporter just months before jillians accident, evenflo changed the height and weight requirement in the owners manual, raising the minimum weight from at least 30 pounds to a minimum of 40. The company did not notify customers like the browns already using the seats because evenflo says there was no safety impact with that change. Jillian weighed just under 37 pounds at the time of the crash. Evenflo declined our request for an oncamera interview but says they are a pioneer in side impact testing and provide safe, effective and affordable products and they do comply with all federal standards which do allow selling booster seats to kids 30 pounds and up. Odonnell look at those pictures. That is such an important warning for parents. Thank you, kris. Some alarming news today for millions who live along the great lakes. The army corps of engineers says three of the five lakes michigan, huron, and superior broke january records for water levels and as Dean Reynolds reports, all that water is now forcing many with waterfront property into a battle to save their homes. Reporter the other day, tish gancer looked out on the waters of Lake Michigan, the final resting place of her house. Built by her grandfather, most of her lakefront cottage fell off a cliff on new years eve, leaving only a bit of foundation. I just cant believe how much of it is gone. Im not a rich person. And i really dont know how im going to get out of this. Theres 10 to 14foot waves out here. Reporter nick bonstell, the director of the Ottawa County Emergency Management team, noted that the lakes were at or near their lowest point as recently as 2013. Nobody has seen how quick and how much property has been lost in such a short amount of time with this type of erosion. Reporter across the great lakes, the inundation has been accompanied by more frequent and intense storms that have stripped away the sandy base of beachfront homes. There are so many wonderful memories. Reporter rita alton lives in manistee, michigan. Sorry. Reporter her nearly70year old home lies a few feet from disaster, a third of a mile of her property has already washed away. Im just sitting here waiting for the rest to go down. Reporter a desperate effort by homeowners is now under way to move their houses away from the approaching cliffs or build stone barriers to retain the Shifting Sands below. Theres not many options. Its basically do this or lose your home. Reporter the last two years were the wettest in more than a century for the great lakes, virtually ensuring another season of unusually high water levels that could turn dream homes into nightmares. Dean reynolds, cbs news, montague, michigan. Odonnell that is such a nightmare. Thank you, dean. There is still much more news ahead on tonights cbs evening news. There are possible new clues in the case of two missing children from idaho, including what was found in a storage unit. A warning about high Blood Pressure during pregnancy ane r. Later, thumbs up and a new record. How an American Woman just made history. Losing my independence. Mmm. Good. So ive spent my life developing technology to help the visually impaired. We are so good. We built a guide that uses ibm watson. To help the blind. It is already working in cities like tokyo. My dream is to help millions more people like me. It is already working in cities like tokyo. And i recently had hi, ia heart attack. It changed my life. But im a survivor. After my heart attack, my doctor prescribed brilinta. Its for people who have been hospitalized for a heart attack. Brilinta is taken with a lowdose aspirin. No more than 100 milligrams as it affects how well brilinta works. Brilinta helps keep platelets from sticking together and forming a clot. In a clinical study, brilinta worked better than plavix. Brilinta reduced the chance of having another heart attack. Or dying from one. Dont stop taking brilinta without talking to your doctor, since stopping it too soon increases your risk of clots in your stent, heart attack, stroke, and even death. Brilinta may cause bruising or bleeding more easily, or serious, sometimes fatal bleeding. Dont take brilinta if you have bleeding, like stomach ulcers, a history of bleeding in the brain, or severe liver problems. Slow heart rhythm has been reported. Tell your doctor about bleeding new or unexpected shortness of breath any planned surgery, and all medicines you take. If you recently had a heart attack, ask your doctor if brilinta is right for you. My heart is worth brilinta. If you cant afford your medication, astrazeneca may be able to help. Still fresh.

Inside, childrens clothes, bikes, photos, and a backpack, all reportedly belonging to j. J. And tylee. At one point, the man is seen leaving with a heavy tote bag. Rich robertson is a private investigator working with j. J. s grandparents. If they had expected the kids to be coming home soon, why would that stuff be in the storage . On the other hand, if they didnt think the kids were ever coming back, why keep it . Reporter another piece of the puzzle, the milliondollar Life Insurance policy on vallows exhusband charles. Police say he was killed by lori vallows brother, who then died under suspicious circumstances. Also under investigation, the recent death of daybells ex wife. The couple denies any wrongdoing.
