space, a place where everybody is there with open arms. >> have you all talked about ways in which you think that we could get to a better place? >> there's room in a humanitarian way to recognize the trauma of the other. and people have lost that ability right now. >> reporter: a message these women are spreading far beyond this room, including on college campuses, many of which have become deeply polarized. at the university of michigan, two students, one jewish and one palestinian, started the arab-jewish alliance more than a year ago to foster better relations between cultures. >> i grew up jewish, and the only time when i ever met arab students was in my arabic class. i was like how can we bring arab students and jewish students together and this kind of set us down this path. >> i think the week after october 7th, i was looking on my

the law dates back to 1864, on the books since before arizona was a state and before women had the right to vote. arizona will be the 18th state to severely restrict or outright ban the procedure since roe v. wade was overturned in 2022. the decision comes the day after former president donald trump claimed he doesn't support a federal ban. but today president biden said trump is directly to blame for the ruling, calling the decision extreme and dangerous. cbs's nancy cordes reports now on the fallout. >> it is a dark day in arizona. >> reporter: arizona's democratic governor begged the legislature to step in today after the state's conservative supreme court reinstated a civil war-era abortion ban with no exceptions for rape or incest. the author of the 4-2 decision wrote, physicians are now on notice that all abortions except those necessary to save a woman's life are illegal, with

doctors facing a two to five-year mandatory prison sentence. >> we are 14 days away from this extreme ban coming back to life. it must be repealed immediately. >> reporter: the decision does away with the state's current 15-week ban, which anti-abortion rights activists had challenged in court. >> it's always the best decision to protect life as much as possible. >> reporter: arizona is now poised to join 17 other states that have imposed near-total abortion bans since roe v. wade was struck down. but unlike many of those states, arizona is a pivotal swing state that went for president biden in 2020. the state's democratic a.g. announced today, "as long as i am attorney general, no woman or doctor will be prosecuted under this draconian law." >> does that give doctors the certainty they need to keep performing abortions if they feel they need to?

>> well, i think that medical providers are going to have to weigh their options and their risk with their own legal counsel quite frankly. >> reporter: chris love helps lead arizona for abortion access, a group that has already gathered half a million signatures for a november state ballot measure that would establish a constitutional right to an abortion. >> we have told arizona voters what's at stake. i think today is a clear example that we were being serious about that, right? >> reporter: the biden campaign is counting on that ballot measure and others like it to help drive democrats to the polls in november. the issue is a proven motivator, which could help explain why several top republicans in arizona came out against the supreme court ruling today, saying, norah, that it goes too far and is out of step with the state. >> republicans were denouncing it. nancy cordes, thank you. well, now to that other

groundbreaking court case, the sentencing of james and jennifer crumbley, the first parents in the u.s. to be held criminally responsible for their child's school shooting. a michigan judge today sentenced each parent to 10 to 15 years in prison in connection with the shooting deaths of four students at oxford high school in 2021. cbs's andres gutierrez was inside the courtroom. >> the blood of our children is on your hands too. >> reporter: one by one, family members of the four students killed at oxford high school addressed james and jennifer crumbley just before they were sentenced. >> you have failed your son, and you have failed us all. >> and while you were running away from your son and your responsibilities, i was forced to do the worst possible thing a parent could do. i was forced to say goodbye to my madisyn. >> reporter: the crumbleys were found guilty of involuntary manslaughter early this year. separate juries found they willfully failed to prevent their son, ethan, from bringing a handgun to his michigan school

in 2021 and opening fire. today they each asked for leniency and forgiveness. >> i am sorry for your loss as a result of what my son did. >> we were good parents. >> reporter: but the judge sentenced them to a minimum of 10 years in prison minus time already served. >> these convictions confirm repeated acts or lack of acts that could have halted an oncoming runaway train. >> reporter: during their trials, prosecutors painted the couple as absent parents more concerned with themselves than their son's mental health and accused them of gross negligence for buying a sig sauer handgun as a present for ethan four days before the shooting and then failing to secure it. today craig shilling, the father of justin, said the families have been waiting for this moment. >> i feel that there was some justice here today for sure. the sentence was appropriate, and i'm glad that we received that. >> reporter: criminal defense attorney joe tamburino predicts this historic case will set a precedent for other parents.

>> if your child is expressing the same type of behavior, the same type of mental state attitude that ethan crumbley was expressing, you must do something about it. >> reporter: and in handing down her sentencing today, the judge said she hopes her decision will act as a deterrent to prevent future school shootings. the crumbleys will be eligible for parole in under eight years. norah. >> andres gutierrez, thank you very much. tonight, severe weather is causing havoc across the south. strong winds knocked down trees in shreveport, louisiana. this one crashed into a house and flattened the owner's carport. and nearby, this 18-wheel fedex truck flipped onto its side during downpours, causing major delays for the morning commute. for a look at the threats still to come, let's go to dallas and meteorologist alex wilson with our partners at the weather channel. good evening, alex. >> good evening, norah. it's already been a very active day of severe weather. that threat will continue, actually goes up into our wednesday. so unfortunately an even more dangerous day expected tomorrow. let's start with what's happening right now. we have active watches across

i'm willie james inman in washington. thanks for staying with us. there are mixed messages coming out of israel after prime minister netanyahu announced he set a date for the invasion of the city of rafah. the announcement comes after the surprise withdrawal of most idf soldiers in gaza. of the 50,000 israeli troops in the initial invasion force, just 5,000 remain. meanwhile, as the fighting has to their homes and finding ning- there's not much left. holly williams reports. >> reporter: most israeli forces have now left southern gaza, and thousands of palestinians are moving around freely for the first time in months. for some, that's meant a homecoming to the city of khan younis. but in their once bustling communities, they found a wasteland. half a year of war has brought destruction on a colossal scale to gaza and an unending descent into despair.

this woman showed cbs news producer marwan al ghoul the ruins of what was her home. "i can't find anything," she said. "i lost my books and all of my belongings." israel's military says it now has no operational forces in southern gaza and just one division inside the gaza strip. the other division that was there moved out over the weekend. the remaining troops are positioned along gaza's border 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. the military says the troops who have pulled out are recuperating and preparing for future missions. and despite u.s. opposition, prime minister benjamin netanyahu says israel has now set a date for an offensive in the southern city of rafah, where around 1.5 million people

are sheltering. that date, though, is unspecified. the u.s. says there's a cease-fire deal on the table for hamas. but a spokesman for hamas told cbs news the latest negotiations in cairo over the weekend were a, quote, setback. >> that was holly williams in tel aviv. closer to home, the largest dam removal project in u.s. history continues to move forward. the goal, to revive america's salmon population. dams along the klamath river have stopped the fish from swimming upstream to spawn. there's so few left, the pacific salmon season was canceled last year. ben tracy has the latest. >> it feels like i've always been telling these stories about how it used to be. >> reporter: for as long as he can remember, leif hillman has been telling his son, nick, about a river that only existed in photographs and memories. >> all my life, it's been a struggle to sort of bring this river back. >> reporter: hillman belongs to the ca ruk tribe, native

americans who have lived and fished for salmon along the klamath river for more than 10,000 years. >> what does this river mean to you? >> it's everything. it's our lifeblood. >> reporter: an essential artery that for more than a century has been blocked by concrete and dirt. between 1918 and 1962, four dams were built along this stretch of the klamath as western settlers bent nature to their will, harnessing the river's power for electricity. >> so we're standing on top of a lot of concrete. >> it's a lot of concrete. that's what it took to impound this river. >> reporter: mark bransom is ceo of the klamath renewal corporation. it recently blasted a hole in one of the largest dams, setting the klamath free here for the first time in more than 100 years. all four dams along this section of river are being torn down. the reservoirs they created

drained, and the klamath left to run wild. the dams were producing so little power, it no longer made financial sense for utility pacific corp. to continue operating them. >> by the end of this year, every bit of this concrete will be completely gone. >> how big of a project is this to take down these four dams? >> we believe it may be the largest dam removal and salmon restoration project ever undertaken anywhere in the world. >> reporter: the klamath was once the third most productive salmon river on the west coast. the dams decimated their populations, blocking their path upriver to spawn. the once abundant chinook salmon here became endangered species. the warm, stagnant water behind the dams turned into a toxic stew of green algae. >> when these dams were put up, did we not know what we were doing, or did we just not care? >> the construction manager noted in his papers that the impact to salmon was a real thing that would have direct

impact to native american communities. >> they would have known that had they asked us, but nobody asked us. >> reporter: over the years, the various tribes clashed with federal agents. >> if you guys want to have war, let's have war. >> reporter: who tried to enforce bans on fishing what was left in the river. then in 2002, the federal government diverted water to farmers, leading to a massive die-off of an estimated 70,000 salmon. >> hundreds of dead fish. hundreds of them. >> reporter: the tribes had seen enough. they protested the various companies that owned the dams, demanding they be removed. the 2-year-old boy in this picture is leaf hillman's son, nick. >> it's all we've ever known is to get this river free. >> we planted the acorns here. >> reporter: as the dams come down, billions of seeds are being spread to regrow plants on land drowned decades ago. there have also been setbacks. last month, the base of one of the dams, thousands of tiny hatchery salmon were killed,

likely by high water pressure as they passed through a tunnel opened to let the river flow through. but once the dams are completely removed, native salmon populations are expected to return. >> in your lifetime, i know that it's going to be a different story that this river is going to tell. >> reporter: and leaf hillman can hopefully leave behind those stories of how things used to be. >> our bright future is ahead of us. our best times are yet to come. >> reporter: i'm ben tracy on the klamath river. the "cbs overnight news" will be right back.

hello, colonial penn? computer generated graphics and artifiial intelligence have teamed up to make some blockbuster films. jonathan vigliotti introduces us to one animator who still makes his movies by hand. >> we love you! >> reporter: it took the power of 150,000 computers and hundreds of artists to digitally animate scenes like this from pixar's "elemental." >> good morning! >> reporter: but mostly just two hands, glue, and scissors. >> mommy, why won't abuela play with me? >> reporter: to bring the online hit film "gruff" to life -- >> when somebody asks you what

do you do for a living, what's your response? >> don't you have a more interesting question? no, i'm kidding. >> i do. i promise. >> reporter: julian curry is a master of a new kind of cinematic storytelling you've likely never seen before. >> who did all of the work? >> i did. >> reporter: he calls it paper puppeteering. each character in "gruff" is made using paper, first drawn on, painted, then cut out and glued together. it's a creative process he developed three years ago when first sketching his characters. >> i ended up actually just cutting those out and starting to bend and manipulate them and seeing that they reacted really beautifully to the light. so i kind of stumbled into it being a puppet film because of that. ♪ >> reporter: this puppet film took shape in a movie studio very close to curry's los angeles home. >> so this is the tiny

single-car garage that all of gruff was filmed out of. >> everything here is made out of paper? >> a lot of amazon boxes used for this. >> reporter: with the help of lights, a camera, magnets, and rods, curry's paper was brought to life, not animated but shot in live action, which was a lot of work. >> so this is hazel, and while she works great from the front, i can't put this character onto a motorcycle. >> yeah, not convincing. >> so then it's a whole new skeleton, whole new face, and a whole new design. it just looks better. >> reporter: he uses almost no digital effects, mostly just removing the puppets' strings in editing. but the world he creates is full of details that make it convincing, like cutting out hundreds of leaves that go into a single photo on a wall. >> this was, for you, a labor of love. >> 100%. >> reporter: "gruff" tells the story of a secret agent named

hazel. >> her favorite sound was applause. >> reporter: who goes to great lengths to impress her emotionally distant father. >> and the one she needed it from the most was her papa. >> reporter: for curry, it's art imitating part of his life. >> "gruff" was a short film that i wrote shortly after my father's passing that was my way of kind of processing my relationship to my dad. >> i'm looking at you, i'm talking to you, but i also see a photo behind you. is that of your father? >> that's my dad, yeah. >> he looked exactly like the character in "gruff". >> reporter: much like abe low, curry said his own dad, who died from cancer in 2018 was a gruff man of few words. >> the strong, silent type, loves western movies. just the kind of person who never says the thing that you kind of want them to say at any given moment. >> reporter: as the short film

unfolds, father and child grow apart. calls go unanswered. >> it caught up to them. >> reporter: until a medical emergency brings them together. capturing the emotion of this chemotherapy scene with just paper was the hardest part of production, curry says. >> especially coming from an inanimate object, that was really, really tricky. >> i can tell you it worked. the emotion came through. there was a point when i was watching your film. i was in bed, and i immediately wanted to call my father. it was too late, so i didn't. and i regret it. i need to call him the next morning. but i mean all of that triggered by paper. >> then i did my job. >> reporter: and the film has resonated, garnering 3 million views and thousands of comments in the first week of its release on youtube this month. unlike the film, though, curry did not reconcile his differences with his father. but with paper, he created his

hollywood ending. >> this film was my way of kind of writing a narrative that i didn't experience, which was spending more time with my dad as he was passing away, reconciling differeces that we had. everyone has a story. everyone has hurt. everyone has joy. and sometimes you just have to be next to them to understand that. >> some people don't say the things we want, and some people don't say much at all. but when you run from the quiet, you might miss what they've been saying all along.

daughter, but you both did as well. >> tonight a judge sentences the parents of a school gunman for up to 15 years in prison as they're the first to be convicted for their child's mass shooting. >> each act or inaction created a ripple effect. >> announcer: this is the "cbs overnight news." good evening. i'm norah o'donnell, and thank you for being with us. we're going to get to that emotional scene in the courtroom in just a moment. families coming face to face with the parents convicted of involuntary manslaughter for the role in their son's mass shooting. but we do want to begin tonight with a major abortion ruling that once again is putting the issue at the forefront of the 2024 presidential campaign. arizona's supreme court today ruled that a 160-year-old near total abortion ban is still enforceable. the law dates back to 1864, on

the books since before arizona was a state and before women had the right to vote. arizona will be the 18th state to severely restrict or outright ban the procedure since roe v. wade was overturned in 2022. the decision comes the day after former president donald trump claimed he doesn't support a federal ban. but today president biden said trump is directly to blame for the ruling, calling the decision extreme and dangerous. cbs's nancy cordes reports now on the fallout. >> it is a dark day in arizona. >> reporter: arizona's democratic governor begged the legislature to step in today after the state's conservative supreme court reinstated a civil war-era abortion ban with no exceptions for rape or incest. the author of the 4-2 decision wrote, "physicians are now on notice that all abortions except those necessary to save a woman's life are illegal," with

doctors facing a two to five-year mandatory prison sentence. >> we are 14 days away from this extreme ban coming back to life. it must be repealed immediately. >> reporter: the decision does away with the state's current 15-week ban, which anti-abortion rights activists had challenged in court. >> it's always the best decision to protect life as much as possible. >> reporter: arizona is now poised to join 17 other states that have imposed near-total abortion bans since roe v. wade was struck down. but unlike many of those states, arizona is a pivotal swing state that went for president biden in 2020. the state's democratic a.g. announced today, "as long as i am attorney general, no woman or doctor will be prosecuted under this draconian law." >> does that give doctors the certainty they need to keep performing abortions if they feel they need to? >> well, i think that medical

providers are going to have to weigh their options and their risk with their own legal counsel quite frankly. >> reporter: chris love helps lead arizona for abortion access, a group that has already gathered half a million signatures for a november state ballot measure that would establish a constitutional right to an abortion. >> we have told arizona voters what's at stake. i think today is a clear example that we were being serious about that, right? >> reporter: the biden campaign is counting on that ballot measure and others like it to help drive democrats to the polls in november. the issue is a proven motivator, which could help explain why several top republicans in arizona came out against the supreme court ruling today, saying, norah, that it goes too far and is out of step with the state. >> republicans were denouncing it. nancy cordes, thank you. well, now to that other

groundbreaking court case, the sentencing of james and jennifer crumbley, the first parents in the u.s. to be held criminally responsible for their child's school shooting. a michigan judge today sentenced each parent to 10 to 15 years in prison in connection with the shooting deaths of four students at oxford high school in 2021. cbs's andres gutierrez was inside the courtroom. >> the blood of our children is on your hands too. >> reporter: one by one, family members of the four students killed at oxford high school addressed james and jennifer crumbley just before they were sentenced. >> you have failed your son, and you have failed us all. >> and while you were running away from your son and your responsibilities, i was forced to do the worst possible thing a parent could do. i was forced to say goodbye to my madisyn. >> reporter: the crumbleys were found guilty of involuntary manslaughter earlier this year. separate juries found they willfully failed to prevent their son, ethan, from bringing

a handgun to his michigan school in 2021 and opening fire. today they each asked for leniency and forgiveness. >> i am sorry for your loss as a result of what my son did. >> we were good parents. >> reporter: but the judge sentenced them to a minimum of 10 years in prison minus time already served. >> these convictions confirm repeated acts or lack of acts that could have halted an oncoming runaway train. >> reporter: during their trials, prosecutors painted the couple as absent parents more concerned with themselves than their son's mental health and accused them of gross negligence for buying a sig sauer handgun as a present for ethan four days before the shooting and then failing to secure it. today craig shilling, the father of justin, said the families have been waiting for this moment. >> i feel that there was some justice here today for sure. the sentence was appropriate, and i'm glad that we received that. >> reporter: criminal defense attorney joe tamburino predicts this historic case will set a precedent for other parents. >> if your child is expressing

the same type of behavior, the same type of mental state attitude that ethan crumbley was expressing, you must do something about it. >> reporter: and in handing down her sentencing today, the judge said she hopes her decision will act as a deterrent to prevent future school shootings. the crumbleys will be eligible for parole in under eight years. norah. >> andres gutierrez, thank you very much. tonight, severe weather is causing havoc across the south. strong winds knocked down trees in shreveport, louisiana. this one crashed into a house and flattened the owner's carport. and nearby, this 18-wheel fedex truck flipped onto its side during downpours, causing major delays for the morning commute. for a look at the threats still to come, let's go to dallas and meteorologist alex wilson with our partners at the weather channel. good evening, alex. >> good evening, norah. it's already been a very active day of severe weather. that threat will continue, actually goes up into our wednesday. so unfortunately an even more dangerous day expected tomorrow. let's start with what's happening right now. we have active watches across the south.

going to be a dangerous evening and overnight for parts of texas and into louisiana, where the tornado threat will remain. as we move through the overnight, in addition to these storms that will bring the severe weather, the tornadoes, the hail, the gusty, damaging winds, we'll also be watching for the threat of very heavy rain. so unfortunately flash flooding and flooding will be a concern. now, we start the morning tomorrow with storms ongoing. they'll continue through the afternoon. take a look at the torcon values, as high as a 7. so that just means we could be seeing tornadoes that are stronger, those that are the ef-2 or greater and long track. heavy rain potential means flash flooding likely all across the south. some areas could see as much as 3 to 5-plus inches of rain. norah. >> alex wilson, thank you very we're still going for that nice catch. we're still going for that perfect pizza. and with higher stroke risk from afib not caused by a heart valve problem,... ...we're going for a better treatment than warfarin. eliquis. eliquis reduces stroke risk. and has less major bleeding. over 97% of eliquis patients did not experience a stroke.

tonight, an idaho teenager is facing federal terrorism charges for an alleged plan to attack churches in the name of isis. the justice department says the 18-year-old was arrested on saturday just one day before launching a plot where he planned to use guns, knives, and flammable chemicals. cbs's elise preston reports the fbi was already on a nationwide alert. >> reporter: the fbi believes 18-year-old alexander mercurio was plotting deadly terror attacks on multiple christian churches in coeur d'alene, idaho. according to court documents, mercurio had pledged his allegiance to isis and his intention to die while killing others, using makeshift flame throwers, a machete, and other weapons found in his home by the fbi, which says he communicated with other radicalized individuals on his school-issued computer. >> the profile of this individual is not surprising. the large majority of them are male and typically are quite young. isis and its proxies do retain

the ability and the intent to try to conduct an attack here in the homeland. >> reporter: today this from fbi director christopher wray. >> the potential for a coordinated attack here in the homeland is now increasingly concerning. >> reporter: it's a concern worldwide. isis-k claimed responsibility for this attack at a russian concert hall last month. at least 144 were killed. here at home, a just released intelligence bulletin warns of a potential threat of violence targeting mass gatherings such as sports stadiums, concert venues, or houses of worship. >> it definitely sounds the alarm to the average american at home. >> it is a fact that we're in a heightened threat environment. we as americans need to live our lives, but we also need to do so while being incredibly vigilant. >> reporter: there are at least 21 known extremist groups operating in idaho according to the southern poverty law center. court documents show the fbi was tracking mercurio for nearly two

years. he's expected in court tomorrow. norah. >> wow, that's some good work by the fbi. elise preston, thank you so much. turning to the war in gaza, today prime minister benjamin netanyahu declared no force in the world will prevent israeli forces from entering the besieged city of rafah. it comes as vice president kamala harris today met with families of several americans taken hostage by hamas, assuring them that the biden administration is doing all it can to bring them home. cbs's debora patta reports from tel aviv. >> reporter: rafah has become a tent city of mostly women and children who have been running from war for months. once again, they fear the worst as israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu doubles down on his plans to invade rafah despite the u.s. warning that would be a mistake. this woman sought refuge here with her nine children after her husband was killed in an israeli air strike. [ speaking in a global

language ] >> reporter: "what hurts me the most," she said, "is i've lost my dignity. i feel humiliated here." but after six months of war, if they are forced out, where do they go to next? the israeli defense force has mostly withdrawn from southern gaza, allowing residents to return to khan younis. but this is not the home they remember. the destruction everywhere so complete, it is unlivable. "everything is dead," this woman said. across this wasteland, there are also still more than 100 hostages, including americans being held, who have now spent more than half a year in captivity. today their family members met with vice president kamala harris, once again pleading for their release. >> what we have heard is that there is a deal on the table

right now that all of the parties agree to and are willing to work with. we are waiting now, and the world waits for hamas to get to "yes." >> reporter: secretary of state antony blinken has said there is a serious offer on the table and that the ball is firmly in hamas' court while national security adviser jake sullivan says he has spoken with qatar's prime minister and urged him to get a response from hamas as soon as possible. norah. >> debora patta with that new reporting, thank you very much. there's a lot more news ahead on the "cbs overnight news."

rhetoric. so i thought i want to find a club where i can actually interact with people on the other side. >> you are the future. >> reporter: for the zeitouna, these young students embody the mission they've spent decades building. >> i think that when you meet a group like zeitouna, it reassures these friendships can last forever. >> as a holocaust survivor, this is what i learned. all human beings are the same. and if we could only realize that, then i think we could build a better world. >> reporter: the power of conversation to inspire meaningful change. lisa ling, cbs news, ann arbor, michigan. a helicopter with two people on board plunges into a pond. we have the deta s on their re
