former president donald trump was given mixed signals, which is why this announcement was so anticipated. now some of his supporters are frustrated. >> reporter: this morning donald trump is facing backlash from his base. instead of supporting the federal ban, he's sending it to the states. >> at the end of the day, it's all about the people. >> reporter: trump, though, still boasting for appointing the supreme court justices who helped overturn the right to an abopgs. staunch trump ally senator lindsey graham in a rare public rebuttal posted he respectfully disagrees. the former president fired back writing graham is doing a great disservice to the republican party. marjorie dannenfelser is disappointed by the former president's decision. but after a phone call with trump yesterday she believes

that he could change his mind. >> i actually do think he will get there. >> reporter: president biden and vs. vice president harris made similar arguments yesterday. they vowed to support federal abortion rights. and hours afterward, president biden featured a new ad, saying a resulting infection may prevent her from getting pregnant again. >> and, jarred, there have been some developments in trump's legal cases. what can you tell us about those? >> there are two in particular. let's start with the federal election interference case. in this one, special counsel jack smith is respectfully urging the supreme court to reject trump's claims of immunity. even if the court finds he has some immunity, it was outside of the duties of his offices. they say the justices could decide on that one by june. and then in trump's new york

some went looking for their homes and instead picked through rubble for their belongings. i couldn't find my bed or my clothes, said malak mahmoud. i lost my books. israel's military says it now has just one division inside the gaza strip. the other division that was there moved out over the weekend. the remaining troops are positioned along the border of gaza with israel and to the north where the israelis have built a new road, cutting across the gaza strip from east to west, thought to be part of israel's planning for after the war. israel says the troops who pulled out are recuperating, and prime minister benjamin netanyahu said they've set a date for an offensive in the southern city of rafah despite u.s. opposition, though, that date is unspecified. it comes just days after

president biden told benjamin netanyahu in a phone call the humanitarian situation in gaza was, quote, unacceptable. israel says over 400 aid trucks made it into gaza, the most since the beginning of the war. aviv, israel. turning now to the rare cosmic spectacle that captured america, the solar eclipse. did you see it as the moon slipped between the earth and the sun, turning day into night? here's one view you might most likely did not see, at least firsthand, the view from space. that's the moon's shadow. about 31 million people in 15 states live in the eclipse's pacts of totality, and millions more traveled to catch a glimpse of this event.

just before 1:30 p.m. local time, casting a shadow nearly 100 miles wide, moving across 15 states in just over an hour. for those outside of that path, a partial eclipse was visible throughout all 48 contiguous states. in some parts of the country, the forecast called for clouds, but then the cosmic clearing. >> oh, my goodness. the clouds parted. the clouds parted. i cannot believe we're seeing this right now. it's been cloud cover all day. how lucky are we? >> reporter: at 30,000 feet eclipse viewing soared to new heights aboard special delta flights from dallas and houston. nearly 200 passengers snacked on sun chips and moon pies. >> it was really cool being all daylight and all of a sudden it got pitch black and felt like night.

>> reporter: but russellville, arkansas, has to be the icing on the cake, with over 50 couples professing their love to the moon and back, taking their wedding vows in a mass ceremony, the thin circle of life around the moon resembling a golden wedding ring but in the sky. >> this is really cool, a once-in-a-lifetime thing. >> reporter: norah o'donnell, cbs news. and things are looking pretty bright on the campus of university of connecticut. the huskies won their second straight ncaa basketball game last night, defeating purdue, 75-60. it's the first time to be repeat champions in 17 years. >> what could you say? we won. it's the best two-year run, i think, in a very, very long time just because of everything we lost from last year's team. >> and the victory marked connecticut's record 12th straight double-digit win in the ncaa tournament dating back to last year.

it's also the sixth national championship in the school's history. sunday's ncaa women's title game between south carolina and iowa scored big among tv viewers. it had an audience of 18.7 million viewers, the most ever for a women's college basketball game. it was also the most watched basketball game, men or women, college or pro in the last five years. the only games to bring in a bigger audience in 2019 were football, world cup, and olympics. the naia's council of presidents approved the new rules in a 20-0 vote. it's believed to be the first college organization to take such a step. it allows all athletes to take part in male sports. this takes effect in august.
