Pelley and thats the cbs evening news for tonight. For some of you the news continues for others check back with us a little bit later for the morning news. And be sure not to miss cbs news this morning. From the Broadcast Center, im scott pelley. This is the cbs overnight news. President elect donald trump continues his victory tour. He and Vice President ialelect mike pence held a rally in north carolina. And at last nights rally, mr. Trump announced james mattis to run the pentagon. Meanwhile, mr. Trump kicked up dust over the boeing 747 in the works, he called the number ridiculous and wants the contract cancelled. Nancy cordes has the story. Reporter mr. Trumps tweet before the opening bell caused the stock to plunge. Boeing is building a brandnew 747 air force one, he wrote, costs out of control. More than 4 billion. Cancel order. I think it is ridiculous, i think boeing is doing a little bit of a number. We want boeing to make a lot of money but not that much money. The two planes that currently serve as air force one are more than 25 years old, the last of the passenger jets still in use in the United States. The air force contracted with boeing last year to begin to design two or three replacements, slated for completion in 2023. Mark rosinger over saw the acts. It is cheaper to buy a brandnew aircraft, bring it into the 21st century, than to try to maintain the aircraft built in the 80s. It was unclear what triggered mr. Trumps comments today, but it came just moments after they posted these comments regarding boeings ceo when it comes to trade with china. The president elect has also signalled a preference for his own jet insisting last summer that air force one is a step down in every way. Although his 757 cant refuel midair or deflect missiles. Its a beautiful aircraft, but cant serve the president of the United States. A for hoew hours later, mr. Praised this company, softbank. And he just agreed to invest 50 billion in the United States and 50,000 jobs. Now president elect trump had sticker shock over the air force one, but wait until he hears what the embassies across the world are costing. Oversight Committee Chairman Jason Chaffetz has thoughts on it. He has accused them of taking a risky approach to building embassies, taking too long and spending too much. Now the next secretary of state will have to determine how to build the fortresses. Reporter a striking building in london has a sizeable price tag, the building will soon exceed its more than 1 billion projection, according to house chair Jason Chaffetz. I feel very misled by the state department, because if we are not opening the doors, the cost is high for staying open. The existing u. S. Embassy will be used to house our personnel until the new London Embassy is ready. According to a new release, they account for a 22 million cost increase. The House Oversight Committee Found quibbling over a glass wall in indonesia caused tens of millions and change over the request, and millions spent over art in pakistan. One of the biggest bills came from mexico, where the u. S. Paid hundreds of millions on the lot and 56 million on the mission. Chaffetz, who visited the site, said costs will cost more than the 93 million estimate. Something has to change, theyre building them slower, coming in over budget, and not necessarily secure. So the next secretary of state, will it be the top of the list. Im glad we have mr. Trump coming in, i think he will fix it quickly. But the strict standards is not your typical real estate project. State Department Deputy spokesperson mark toner. Do you have a time line as to when these embassies will be both secure and finished . All i can say is our Diplomatic Security bureau and our management work hand in hand to make sure that safety is the main issue. They are mindful of how looks impact perception of the u. S. , but they insist that despite the delays the projects will remain within budget. And a new study shows that driving while drowsy is as bad as driving drunk. Err Errol Burnett has more. They want to make sure people drive with enough sleep, because they have a hard time keeping their eyes open which is proving to be deadly. These videos show how quickly a drowsy driver can lose control. I remember screaming at the top of my lungs and sort of collapsing because that could not be true. Carys 18yearold son tyler was killed after he crashed his car, months after graduating high school. He was on a midafternoon drive, when a witness saw him flip and go through three lanes and crash into a tree. Six years later, his family still is full of grief. Definitely cheated, it is so unfair. Its hard every day. I mean, its been six years. But Little Things come in and it is very difficult. Police found no signs of control or drugs in tylers system. The lack of skid marks led investigators to conclude that tyler fell asleep at the wheel. His family said he was getting four to six hours of sleep a night. I knew about texting and driving and distracted driving and joy riding and impaired driving, all of those things were educated about. But not once was there a conversation about young adults and Drowsy Driving. Teenagers, older adults and people who have a sleep debt are among the highest risk groups. Jake nelson is aaas director of advocacy and research. One in five crashes where somebody dies in the crash, involve a driver who was drowsy or had not had enough sleep the night before. In a new study, it shows that people are twice as likely to be in an accident when they get five to six hours of sleep. More than four times as likely with five hours, and more than 12 times likely with less than four hours. Driving with having only earned four hours of sleep in a 24hour period can be just as impairing as driving drunk. How aware do you think people coughs cough doesnt sound so good. Take mucinex dm. Ill text you in 4 hours when your cough returns. One pill lasts 12 hours, so. Looks like im good all night some cough medicines only last 4 hours. But just one mucinex lasts 12 hours. Lets end this.

Lee cowan has the story of the date that will live in infamy. Reporter pearl harbor, a tranquil place. That was dorinda nicoles childhood home. She was just 6 years old, that sunday in 1949, born in hawaii, her family was civilian and lived near the dock for the famous pan am clippers.

This fellow says well you may as well turn over and watch this. Dumb me, i turn over and look at the dive bomber coming right over us. Straight at you . Oh, yeah, looked right down in the ditch. And i could look him right in the eye. Hangar 79, just one down from where dick was, still bears the scars, the bullet holes from the bright window panes remain, shattered on a quiet sunday. Were you mad or confused . I dont really recall if i was angry or not. A lot of people ask if i was scared. Im sure, i was, if i went, something was wrong with me. And nearby, the assault continued, nearly every american war bird was blown up before every taking flight. But jap
