Read the Full Transcript

• John Yang:

  Good evening, I'm John Yang. Donald Trump's decisive victory and yesterday's South Carolina primary in Nikki Haley's home state has moved the former president that much closer to the Republican nomination.

  With nearly all the votes counted, Trump leads Haley by 20 percentage points, and he's won at least 44 of the state's 50 delegates, bringing his overall total to more than 100. Despite the loss, Haley told supporters last night that she is not giving up.

• Nikki Haley, Republican Presidential Candidate:

  I'm going to count it. I know 40 percent is not 50 percent. But I also know 40 percent is not some tiny group. There are huge numbers of voters in our Republican primaries who were saying they want an alternative.

• John Yang:

  The next primary is in Michigan on Tuesday. It's the last major contest before more than a dozen states vote in March with more than 1,000 delegates up for grabs.

  In Israel's war with Hamas, there are signs of slow progress toward a deal for a ceasefire and the release of both Israeli hostages and Palestinian prisoners. And Egyptian official tells the Associated Press that the deal that's emerging from talks in Qatar would call for a six-week pause and fighting increased aid deliveries to the Gaza Strip and the release of 40 Israeli hostages and hundreds of Palestinian prisoners.

  In Israel, protesters are keeping up pressure on the government for the hostages return. On CBS's Face the Nation Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said getting an agreement was up to Hamas.

• Benjamin Netanyahu, Israeli Prime Minister:

  But I can tell you that we're all working on it. We want it. I want it. I can't tell you if we'll have it. But if Hamas goes down from its delusional claims and goes down in bringing them down to earth, then we'll have the progress that we all want.

• John Yang:

  Netanyahu said a ceasefire deal with delay but not canceled and Israeli military offensive and Rafah more and more than half of Gaza is 2 million residents have taken refuge.

  And a man set himself on fire outside the Israeli embassy here in Washington. Uniform Secret Service Officers extinguish the flames and the man was taken to the hospital with life threatening injuries. The Times of Israel reports that no embassy staff was involved.
