"china remains impartial," said xi "on the side of peace and right side of history." china's plan could form a basis for a settlement, said putin, but the west and kyiv are not ready for it. that plan has been derided by the west for not demanding russia's military to withdraw. xi attempting to act as peacemaker in the war, yet never condemning putin's invasion. the two authoritarian leaders side by side, further trying to present themselves as a twin counterweight to u.s. influence in the world.

tenderness, mood swings, and bloating. >> how much hope were you given that freezing your eggs would lead to someday having a baby? >> i think it was -- it was definitely hope because it's better than not having it at all. >> reporter: fertility doctors suggest educating women about reproductive health by their mid-20s because biological clocks tick faster than we think. nikki battiste, cbs news, new york. a group of schoolchildren stop an attempted wondering what actually goes into your multivitamin? at new chapter, its' innovation, organic ingredients, and fermentation. fermentation? yes. formulated to help you body really truly absorb the natural goodness. new chapter. wellness, well done.

s's robert costas going tff tht york city. good evening, robert. >> reporter: good evening to you, norah. sources tell cbs news that the grand jury's work here is nearly done with prosecutors sketching out the framework for a possible indictment of former president trump. but officials are increasingly on edge about security challenges and protests. the arrest former president trump predicted would happen today never did. but his call for protests has new york on high alert. metal barricades have fortified the courthouse where he'd likely turn himself in. and all nypd officers, numbering about 35,000, were ordered to be in full uniform and ready to mobilize. a bomb threat rattled courthouse proceedings this morning, but nothing was found. security has also increased around the capitol in washington, similar to the days after the january 6th attack.

>> we love trump! >> reporter: cbs's manuel bojorquez is covering a pro-trump protest near the family estate in palm beach. >> reporter: several dozen of the former president's supporters gathered along this bridge leading towards mar-a-lago, holding signs and flags in solidarity. they view the case in new york as purely politically motivated and feel that an attack on the former president is also an attack on them. >> reporter: the former president echoed them monday night. >> they know that we will defeat them, but they're not coming after me. they're coming after you. >> reporter: huddling with advisers in florida today, trump has used the threat of indictment to fund-raise, sending over a dozen emails since saturday, and he has rallied republicans, including some of his 2024 rivals. >> i think what we know is when you get into political prosecutions like this, it's more about revenge than it is about justice. >> reporter: kentucky republican senator rand paul said the manhattan d.a., alvin bragg,

should be put in jail. responding to pressure, bragg said he won't let baseless accusations deter us from if trump is indicted, he is expected to travel to new york, where he would surrender to authorities, be fingerprinted, photographed, and arraigned by a judge, a potentially chaotic scene. >> i can assure you the secret service will shadow him and will be with him every step of the way wherever he may go in the courthouse. >> reporter: a.t. smith was the deputy director of the secret service. >> this is certainly an unprecedented event to say the least. but the secret service is very well-equipped to handle large crowds, large visits, things that are unique in the way of protection. they're planning ahead for anything that could go wrong. >> reporter: as trump deals with a possible indictment, florida governor ron desantis, moving closer to his own 2024 bid, said in a new interview today that

character matters, a remark seen by some trump advisers as a not-so-veiled shot at trump. norah. >> robert costa, thank you very much. there's new disturbing surveillance video tonight that shows a 28-year-old man who later died pinned to the ground of a group of sheriff's deputies and staff members at a mental hospital. seven deputies and three workers are charged with second-degree murder. we get more now from cbs's jeff pegues. >> reporter: surveillance video from inside a virginia hospital shows irvo otieno being dragged into a room by henrico county sheriff's deputies at 4:19 p.m. on march 6th, his hands and feet shackled. about eight minutes later, otieno appears to struggle. the deputies and hospital staff rush over and pin him to the floor. at one point, as many as ten people are seen pressing down on his body while other hospital staff look on. >> there's no pulse anymore. >> is the patient aggressive or

is he not -- >> no. he used to be aggressive, right? so they're trying to put him in restraints. then he's no longer breathing. >> reporter: roughly 12 minutes later, otieno's body appears lifeless on the floor. hospital staff try to resuscitate him, but he's pronounced dead about an hour later. >> he loved his mother. i loved him too. >> reporter: today, otieno's mother called his death inhumane. >> i saw these nine men and a woman on top of my baby, squeezing him, squeezing him every inch of the way, literally squeezing the life out of him. >> reporter: otieno was detained on a mental illness hold on march 3rd. police say he assaulted hospital staff and was transferred to the county jail before being taken to the state hospital where he died. ten people are now charged with second-degree murder. outside the courthouse, one of paar newof a thariticized

so i'm disappointed in it. >> reporter: based on the 911 calls released today, there appears to have been a delay in getting the 28-year-old medical attention. those delays are still unexplained. the county prosecutor has said that more people could face charges in connection with otieno's death. norah. >> jeff pegues, thank you. tonight, california is being slammed by the 12th atmospheric river of the season. heavy rain, strong winds, and flooding are already causing problems across southern california. for more, let's bring in meteorologist mike bettes from our partners at the weather channel. hey there, mike. >> norah, good evening to you. it is nonstop, persistent rain, snow, and wind across california from northern california to southern california. big, low pressure system rolling through the san francisco bay area, but showers go all the way down to san diego, where we've had severe thunderstorm warnings

>> announcer: this is the "cbs overnight news." i'm catherine herridge in washington. thanks for staying with us. the commerce department announced new restrictions on tech companies that receive grants through the so-called chips act. it provides $53 billion to u.s. company to build or ex- pand microchip plants in the u.s. the new rules will bar from investing in chip production in countries like china or russia. so how important are microchips to the modern world? david pogue takes a lighthearted look at a serious issue. >> you probably realize that

there are computer chips in your computer and in your phone. but you may not realize just how many other things in your life rely on chips, like your clocks and your speakers and your toys. and every single thing in your kitchen. actually, trust me on that one. >> our demand for silicon chips is only going to grow as we find new ways to make new devices smarter. >> reporter: chris miller teaches at tufts university's fletcher school and is the author of a book about the chip

industry published by our sister company, simon & schuster. >> so here's the big one. where is the chip industry? >> most of the manufacturing happens in east asia and taiwan manufactures 90% of the world's most advanced processors. >> reporter: it's true. over the last 30 years, the world has put almost all of its silicon eggs into one basket. >> together we define the future. >> reporter: a single company called tsmc, the taiwan semiconductor manufacturing company. it's now the world's biggest chipmaker. >> doesn't that mean our entire economy is a sitting duck? >> well, it's an extraordinary risk. >> reporter: we learned that the hard way during the pandemic. >> as people started working from home, they bought new pcs. companies started upgrading their data center infrastructure, and chip companies struggled to keep up. >> unlimited supply of sedans and suvs is driving prices sky high. >> reporter: the reason was the

chip shortage. a typical car contains hundreds of chips. >> just a single delayed component could cause a car to sit in the factory floor, ufinished, for weeks or even months as they waited for the chips they needed. >> reporter: but pandemics aren't the only threat to our chip supply. >> the biggest risk is geopolitics as tensions between china and taiwan escalate, there is more and more concern that china could try to disrupt chip supplies out of taiwan by blockading the island or even attacking the economic impact would be felt over many years, and the cost would be measured in the trillions of dollars. >> reporter: since the 90s, america's share of global chipmaking has dropped from 37% to 12%. today american companies like apple, amd, nvidia and qualcomm design their own chips, but they all hire tsmc to make them. tsmc even makes some of the chips for intel, the american company that pioneered the

semiconductor. >> the number one driver was government policies. >> reporter: al thompson runs government affairs for intel. he says that the east asian chip industry flourished thanks to financial help from their governments. >> it really provided an attractive incentive for companies to do more manufacturing in east asia. >> reporter: so now we're in a pickle. pandemics, natural disasters, or geopolitics could disrupt our supply of chips at any time. why doesn't our government do something? well -- >> the future of the chip industry is going to be made in america. >> reporter: the chips act is a law developed by the trump administration and signed into law by president biden last august. >> and i would dare you to find an issue that had the support from two different presidential administrations and two congresses that passed with bipartisan margins. >> reporter: the chips act could be a huge deal for america, both for our economy and for our national security.

it includes $13 billion for research and development, $39 billion for building new plants, and about $24 billion in tax credits to attract private investors. as intel's ceo pat gelsinger puts it. >> this is the most significant piece of industrial policy legislation since world war ii. >> reporter: if it works, this act will spark an american chipmaking boom in massive fabrication plants called fabs, like the two intel is building in arizona, totaling 650,000 square feet. >> now, to just put that in perspective, that's like six large, you know, football fields. >> reporter: kavon is intel's global operations director. >> so how much does it cost per fab? >> it's a little over $20 billion. >> is it accurate to say that some of that money came from the chips act or will come? >> that's absolutely our

expectation. >> okay. >> okay. >> there you go. >> thank you. >> reporter: one reason fabs are so expensive, they contain some of the most sophisticated equipment on earth. >> i have to say i've never felt more dust-proof. >> reporter: the air here is a thousand times cleaner than a surgical room. an eyelash, a speck of dust, or even the wrong color light could ruin these delicate silicon wafers. >> they basically get cut up and you put them on a chip and send them to customers all around the world. >> reporter: the smaller you etch the circuitry, the faster the chip. >> there are billions of transistors into each one of these chips, hundreds of billions of transistors. >> how thin are those layers? >> oh they're at the angstrom levels. >> like atom? >> that's right, the atom level. >> the people who work on these must get terrible eye strain. >> reporter: now, the chips act isn't popular with everyone. one reason is the fine print. for example, to receive the government's money, a semiconductor company must promise to pay its employees a

market wage and offer child care. >> you have to turn your company into a social welfare operation. you have to join this brave new world whether you like it or not. >> reporter: but intel's kavon says that tech companies have to offer good pay and child care thif they want to attract talent. >> none of this bothers us. if anything, it's very aligned to how we operate. we want to create an environment that it is very intenticing, wh we're going to grow the talent. >> reporter: for author chris miller, the bigger concern is that $52 billion won't be enough. >> i think the chips act is an important turning point, but on its own, it's not going to be enough to revolutionize the chip industry or to dramatically reduce our dependence on chips manufactured in taiwan. >> reporter: but no matter what the critics say, an american fab building boom is under way. intel has broken ground on what could eventually be eight immense factories on 2,000 acres

in ohio. in fact, with the prospect of grants from the chips act, 14 companies have either announced or broken ground on 22 new chip factories in america, including two more in arizona being built by our old friends from taiwan, tsmc. all together, that's $160 billion of spending and 28,000 new american jobs, not even counting the boom in suppliers, housing, and infrastructure around each plant. >> we have a really amazing opportunity as a country to basically regain that manufacturing share in partnership with the u.s. government in a way we've never seen before. >> that was david pogue reporting, and this is the "cbs overnight news." wondering what actually goes into your multivitamin?

veterinarian who has bred french bulldogs for more than 20ars. she's concerned by how popular they've become. >> this is not necessarily cause for celebration. >> no, it's not because you see people seeing dollar signs that, oh, this is the most popular breed. everybody wants a frenchie. i'm going to go get a dog and a boy and a girl, and i'm going to have puppies. i'm going to make myself quick money. and that is the worst thing you can do, especially for a breed like ours, which really needs caretakers. >> reporter: hunt says anyone interested in buying a frenchie should look for a reputable breeder through the american kennel club or french bulldog club of america. while hunt cautions rescuing a french bulldog comes with added risks, akino says all dogs deserve a second chance. >> people unfortunately really breed these dogs for money. and there's a lot of people or other dogs out there that need assistance. and i think my personal

bloating. >> how much hope were you given that freezing your eggs would lead to someday having a baby? >> i think it was -- it was definitely hope because it's better than not having it at all. >> reporter: fertility doctors suggest educating women about reproductive health by their mid-20s because biological clocks tick faster than we think. nikki battiste, cbs news, new york. a group of schoolchildren stop an attempted kidnapping. sometimes, the lows of bipolar depression stop an attempted kidnapping. we'll have the details next. feel darkest before dawn. with caplyta, there's a chance to let in the lyte. caplyta is proven to deliver significant relief across bipolar depression. unlike some medicines that only treat bipolar i, caplyta treats both bipolar i and ii depression. and in clinical trials, movement disorders and weight gain were not common. call your doctor about sudden mood changes, behaviors, or suicidal thoughts. antidepressants may increase these risks in young adults.
