After several political twists and turns, the U.S. Senate is expected to vote today, this Wednesday March 8th to block a D.C. bill brought up to change criminal sentencing guidelines to preview from WTO Capitol Hill correspondent Mitchell Miller, Wednesday morning. Senate majority leader Chuck Schumer and a growing number of Democrats plan to join Republicans in voting for the disapproval resolution. They include Virginia senator Tim kaine, who says the differences between mayor muriel Bowser and the D.C. council over the criminal code lead him to believe it needs more work. I am for home rule, but I was mindful of the fact that there was a divide in the D.C. government. Critics say the D.C. bill would lighten penalties for various crimes, including carjacking and robbery. Senate minority leader Mitch McConnell says that's not good policy when crime is rising in the nation's capital. The Democrats are in full retreat on the D.C. criminal law issues. On Capitol Hill, Mitchell Miller WTO. Democrat Jennifer mcclellan was sworn into the U.S. House on Tuesday becoming the first black woman to represent Virginia and Congress.

"Virginia has its first ever black congresswoman democratic state senator Jennifer mcclellan has won a special election in Virginia's fourth congressional district. She will replace the late Donald mceachin who died in November. Mcclellan of veteran state legislator were defeated Republican pastor Leon Benjamin in the deep blue district anchored by Richmond, Benjamin unsuccessfully challenged McKeon twice for the seat, refusing to concede in 2020. The state is set for a fight in the Wisconsin Supreme Court that will determine majority of the states, the majority control of the state's high court, liberal Milwaukee county, circuit judge, Janet protosevich, and former justice Dan Kelly advanced to the April 4th general election after winning the top two sponsored a four way primary on Tuesday, conservatives have controlled the Wisconsin Supreme Court for 15 years, currently holding a four three majority. The contest is to replace a retiring conservative judge, meaning a win by Proto savage would give liberals a narrow majority. The court came within one vote of overturning President Biden's win in the state in the last federal election, campaign standing on the race, expected to break national spending records in state Supreme Court contests. It's one 33, President Biden marked one year since Russia invaded Ukraine during a speech in Warsaw at the city's iconic royal palace. He said that NATO has never been more unified and that democracies are stronger than ever, adding that the U.S. and its allies will have Ukraine's back. In his state of the nation address hours earlier, Russian president Vladimir Putin blamed the war on the west. He also suspended Moscow's participation in the last nuclear arms control treaty with the U.S.. He claimed Russia isn't fighting the Ukrainian people, but that they've become hostage to western masters. And said the west is responsible for fueling the Ukrainian conflict. Putin also announced he suspending participation in the last remaining nuclear arms reduction treaty with the U.S.. National security spokesman John Kirby called that announcement. Unfortunately, any responsible. At a time like this, you want to make sure that you can at least have some arms control in place. There the CBS is Ed O'Keefe with the president in Warsaw, as Vladimir Putin delivered his vitriolic speech or tried to Russian media was hit by a cyberattack. More on that from WTO, national security correspondent JJ green. Russian state TV stations were hit by a cyberattack as Vladimir Putin tried to deliver a key speech state media websites that were broadcasting the state of the nation address, suffered an outage as well. The all Russia state television and radio broadcasting company website and an important live streaming platform went down during periods of this speech. A Ukrainian hacktivist group that calls itself the IT army claimed responsibility for the incident saying quote we launched a DDoS attack on channels, broadcasting Putin's address. They made that claim on telegram. The group also claimed that Russian state controlled television was one of their victims. This is not the first time they've done this, but this is certainly recognized and noticed by other state run media because tasks and another key Russian media outlet noticed and talked about the fact that the broadcast essentially was down during the course of the president's speech. That is WTO national security correspondent JJ green and at the end of an already busy day in Eastern Europe came word that Russia tried to test an ICBM, the test apparently came Monday while President Biden was in Ukraine and that test apparently failed. The timing may have had less to do with mister Biden's trip to Kyiv than with the war's upcoming milestone. The test of one of Russia's newest ICBMs coincided with President Biden's surprise trip to Kyiv. But a U.S. official said it is unlikely the timing was deliberate. Russia had followed the requirements of the start nuclear arms treaty and notified the U.S. at least 24 hours in advance. Russia was not notified of the president's trip to Kyiv until just a few hours before he entered Ukraine. That CBS News national security correspondent, David Martin. Transportation secretary Pete Buttigieg wants the nation's freight railroads to immediately act to improve safety while regulators try to strengthen safety rules. The call comes in the wake of that derailment in Ohio that forced evacuations when toxic chemicals were released and burned. It also comes on the same day that the head of the EPA said Norfolk Southern will be held accountable for the cleanup and any illness locals suffer. Buttigieg spoke to CBS about changes he would like to see the rail industry make. I think that the rail industry needs to move immediately to take certain steps like protect whistleblowers in the industry. That's something that they could sign up for today. We have a program that would make that possible. They need to proactively let states know when they're coming through with hazardous materials. They need to finish the job and get sick leave to their workers because they healthy workforce is a safe workforce. PBS NewsHour spoke with Ellen Shaw, the president and CEO of Norfolk Southern, who says the company is committed to making safety changes. Every day since

"Congressional district, which will be the state's first ever black congresswoman and will replace the late Virginia representative Donald mceachin. He died in November. Mcclellan, a veteran state legislator, defeated Republican pastor Leon Benjamin in the deep blue Richmond anchored district. Next we move to the middle part of the country and Wisconsin, the Wisconsin state Supreme Court primary election. It carries bigger policy stakes than any other race in the country this year. We're talking about the fate of abortion rights. Gerrymandered political maps and a range of voting rights issues in the battleground state. Right now, the Supreme Court is majority conservative, but that could change after this series of elections. Tonight, a liberal Milwaukee judge had advanced in the pivotal primary, securing one of two spots for the April general election that will determine majority control. It's a four person race. It's too early to know who also secured enough votes to face her in the April 4th election. Two conservatives are in a narrow contest for the chance to take on this liberal judge from Milwaukee. So we'll see how that goes. Two people will end up winners tonight, they'll face off in April, then we'll see what the story is with the Wisconsin state Supreme Court come later this year. Well, let's move to President Biden's ongoing mission to firm up support for Ukraine, almost one year since Russia's invasion began and one day after his surprise visit to Kyiv, President Biden delivered a speech from Poland, saying the U.S. has Ukraine's back. CBS News correspondent Edo keefe in Warsaw. Thousands of Polish citizens Ukrainian refugees in American diplomats and aid workers gathered to see the president. The centerpiece of a stage featuring smoke machines and resembling a rock comes down. Hours earlier, Putin's national address was delivered to a room full of lawyers. He claimed Russia isn't fighting the Ukrainian people, but that they've become hostage to western masters. And he said the west is responsible for fueling the Ukrainian conflict. Putin also announced he is suspending participation in the last remaining nuclear arms reduction treaty with the U.S.. National security correspondent JJ green has details about Putin's announcement. This was a moment where Russia and the U.S. clashed, and it was about way more than just dueling speeches by the leaders of these two countries. But these speeches symbolized the clash between Russia and the west. And nothing is a bigger symbol than the clash between the rest of the Russia and the west that existed during the Cold War than the nuclear weapons that grew out of it. Putin used this speech to warn the west that Russia is still a nuclear power. But it was also a warning that he's not giving up on this war. These two speeches will likely go down in history as a turning point in this war for better or for worse for Ukraine winning this war or for Russia getting the upper hand and essentially turning back the clock. But Putin used this speech to let the world know that yes, Russia is on a tails, but it's nevertheless still standing. WTO's national security correspondent, JJ green.

President Biden is turning up the heat in his mission to firm up support for Ukraine, nearly a year after the start of Russia's invasion. In a speech in Warsaw, Poland, the president says the U.S. and Western Allies have Ukraine's back, no matter what. But CBS News correspondent Skyler Henry reports the Russians are standing their ground. Putin sent a defiant message of his own. In his state of the nation address, raicilla tweeted no way. Putin said his nation would not be defeated in battle and announced that Russia will suspend its participation in the new start treaty, which limits each country to no more than 1550 deployed nuclear warheads and 700 deployed missiles and bombers. The agreement includes onsite inspections to verify compliance. While Putin's speech was undercut by a cyberattack inside Russia, we get that part of the story from WTO national security correspondent JJ green Russian state TV stations were hit by a cyberattack as Vladimir Putin tried to deliver a key speech state media websites that were broadcasting the state of the nation address, suffered an outage as well. The all Russia state television and radio broadcasting company website and an important live streaming platform went down during periods of this speech. A Ukrainian hacktivist group that calls itself the IT army claimed responsibility for the incident saying quote we launched a DDoS attack on channels, broadcasting Putin's address. They made that claim on telegram. The group also claimed that Russian state controlled television was one of their victims. This is not the first time they've done this, but this is certainly recognized and noticed by other state run media because tasks and another key Russian media outlet noticed and talked about the fact that the broadcast essentially was down during the course of the president's speech. That's WTO's national security correspondent JJ green. 7 34. Oral arguments ended today in a major Supreme Court case that could radically change speech laws on the Internet. Gonzalez versus Google involves a lawsuit by a family whose daughter died in an ISIS terrorist attack in Paris in 2015. The Gonzalo's family argues Google owned YouTube helped the Islamic State spread its message and get new recruits violating the anti terrorism act. Google says the law known as section two 30 gives tech companies immunity from lawsuits over targeted recommendations of content. CBS News legal analyst thane Rosenbaum tells us how the justices are digesting these arguments. The Supreme Court, which despite being an older generation, took a surprisingly tech savvy view of the issues brought before them. They know that the Internet is a place where the search button and algorithms range supreme. If you hold Internet companies liable for third party content, it would drastically limit search results. The court will hear arguments in a sister case targeting Twitter tomorrow. The special grand jury investigating election interference in Georgia by former president Trump is recommending indictments.
