Good evening and thank you for joining us on this sunday. Tonight ukraines president Volodymyr Zelenskyy is urging the United States to send weapons to frontline forces fighting russian invaders, quote, as soon as possible. Zelenskyy also praised the House Of Representatives for approving billions in foreign aid this weekend that will unleash a flood of American Military equipment. But it didnt happen without a fight from hard right republicans. Cbss skyler henry is on capitol hill tonight. Skyler, as we know, the senate is expected to pass this bill in the coming days. Reporter yeah, jericka, good evening to you. They could pass this as soon as tuesday, but the victory lap comes following six months of republican infighting that could put the House Speakership in jeopardy again. Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskyy says the 95 billion bipartisan foreign aid package passed in the house on saturday will help keep the war with russia from expanding. Translator this aid will strengthen ukraine and send the kremlin a powerful signal that it will not be the second afghanistan. Reporter theres more than 60 billion in assistance set aside for kyiv, including nearly 14 billion to help ukraine buy advanced Weapon Systems and defense equipment. Well, the great news is this is finally happening. It should have happened six months ago. Reporter for months hard right members of the house vehemently opposed more aid for ukraine, including Speaker Mike Johnson before he received the gavel. On saturday more than half of House Republicans voted no to the measure, leaving johnson to rely on democratic support. Now a small but growing number of republicans are openly calling to oust johnson, saying there should be more focus on domestic issues, including the crisis at the border. He has completely betrayed Republican Voters all over the country, and he is absolutely working for the democrats. I dont walk around this building being worried about a motion to vacate. I have to do my job. We did. Reporter now, there is pushback from democrats and republicans even in terms of any sort of effort to oust johnson. Also we should point out that in addition to the foreign aid, the house passed a Measure Saturday that would ban tiktok in the u. S. If the apps Parent Company does not divest from china. The company says if that were to become law, then it would violate the First Amendment rights of millions of users. Well see what happens with that. Skyler, switching topics, its a packed final week of oral arguments at the supreme court. Give us a sense of what we can expect there. Reporter yeah, the justices will perhaps hear the most consequential case on homelessness in decades. Theyll consider whether its cruel and unusual punishment to fine or jail someone who is sleeping outside with no place to go. But the main event, if you will, jericka, will be later on this week as the justices will also consider whether former President Trump is immune from criminal charges stemming from his efforts to overturn the 2020 election. Skyler henry on capitol hill tonight, thank you. To the middle east where this weekend Israeli Defense forces launched a deadly series of air strikes on the City Of Rafah in southern gaza, and violence also flared in the israelioccupied west bank. Cbss debora patta is in jerusalem with more on the impact to children. And a warning, some of the images are disturbing. Reporter good evening. Every ten minutes a child is killed in gaza, according to the united nations. Thats nearly 15,000 children in almost seven months. Rushed into this world far too early and already an orphan. This doctor works efficiently to help the baby girl breathe. Her lungs not yet fully developed. Her mother, sabreen al sakani, was six months pregnant when she was killed in an israeli air strike in rafah last night. But miraculously, doctors managed to save the preterm infant. Nobody else survived the hit on two houses. Among the dead, 13 children. The youngest just 2 years old. Here Israeli Defense force soldiers prepare for a different mission. But this is not in gaza. Its idf footage in the West Bank City Of Tulkarem where they say they conducted a counterterrorism operation, killing 14 militants in close combat. Residents are now cleaning up after the operation. What the Israeli Military does is it uses bulldozers to dig up the roads. You can see theyve been completely destroyed, making sure residents cannot move freely in the area. Bulldozers also smashed through anything that stood in their way. Homes and shops were damaged. Pipes and power lines severed, cutting off the water and electricity. The Israeli Military is in the global spotlight right now. A u. S. Official told cbs news that since 2022 its been investigating an idf unit of ultraorthodox soldiers stationed in the west bank, accused of human rights atrocities, with an announcement expected this week. Media reports suggesting the unit could be blacklisted from receiving u. S. Military aid prompted an angry outburst from Prime Minister benjamin netanyahu, who said sanctions against an idf unit would be a moral low, jericka, at a time when his country was fighting in gaza. Debora patta in jerusalem, we thak you for your reporting. Tonight we learned of the death of a former Associated Press reporter, terry anderson. You may remember him as one of americas longestheld hostages after he was kidnapped from a street in wartorn lebanon back in 1985 and held for nearly seven years. Terry anderson died in greenwood lake, new york. He was 76 years old. A historic day in new york tomorrow where Opening Statements will be heard in the first criminal trial of former President Donald Trump. Cbss Shanelle Kaul is outside the courthouse in lower manhattan. Shanelle . Reporter and jericka, after a week of being stuck inside this Manhattan Courthouse during jury selection, former President Donald Trump was set to attend a Campaign Rally in North Carolina last night, but was forced to cancel due to stormy weather. And i think were going to have to just do a raincheck. Im so sad. Reporter speaking to supporters over a loud speaker, former President Donald Trump called off what would have been his First Campaign event since his new york city Criminal Hush Money Trial began. This is really a concerted witch hunt. Reporter trump is required to be in court daily, often stopping on his way in or out to rail against the case, accusing him of falsifying Business Records to hide an alleged affair ahead of the 2016 president ial election. Hes pleaded not guilty to 34 felony counts. The 12 jurors and 6 alternates chosen last week will be the First American jury to judge their former president. There are studies that say that 80 of jurors minds are made up at the end of Opening Statements. And its very difficult to change someones mind if theyve made that initial decision. Reporter prosecutors are also expected to call their first witness monday. So rikki, why dont we know who will be testifying tomorrow . Judge merchan feels very strongly that if the witnesses are known to the defense and to the defendant that they will be harassed by the defendant on social media and that those witnesses may be intimidate d about their testimony or their safety may be in danger. Reporter and tomorrow two of the former president s trials will overlap. Just down the street from here, new York Attorney general Letitia James will ask a judge to reject the 175 million bond payment in Donald Trumps new york civil fraud case. This over new concerns about the companys finances and legitimacy. Jericka . Shanelle kaul for us in manhattan, thank you. Tonight police in chicago are investigating the shooting death of an offduty officer.

This suv seen speeding before, plowing 25 feet into a building where kids and their parents were attending a Birthday Party. We have several people on the ground as well as several children injured.

Heres emily fannon of our cbs Affiliate Wdjt in milwaukee. Reporter around midmay cicada noise will be in full swing. And while this highpitched buzzing occurs every year throughout the midwest, experts say this year will be unique due to a rare emergence of cicadas that hasnt happened since the 1800s.

Theyre referred to as broods, and more than a dozen states will experience these two types of cicadas at the same time, which liesch says will create a much louder and at times annoying noise. You see a grove of trees behind us with singing male cicadas, that might be in the range of 70 to 80 decibels, which could be similar to a vacuum cleaner. But if you are really close, it could be more in the range of 90 to 100 decibels, which is really, really loud. Reporter while the noise from cicadas can be a little disruptive, overall they do produce some environmental benefits, such as being a valuable food source for insects and other predators, as well as improving Water Filtration into the ground.
