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: there's 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 don't 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 app's 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. >> we'll see what happens with that. skyler, switching topics, it's 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. they'll consider whether it's cruel and unusual punishment to fine or jail someone who is

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 it's 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

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 presidential election. he's 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 it's very difficult to change someone's mind if they've made that initial decision. >> reporter: prosecutors are also expected to call their first witness monday. so rikki, why don't we know who will be testifying tomorrow? >> judge merchan feels very strongly that if the witnesses are known to the defense and to

so rare it hasn't happened since 1803. for all you history buffs that's the same year napoleon sold the louisiana territory to thomas jefferson. here's emily fannon of our cbs affiliate wdjt in milwaukee. >> reporter: around mid-may cicada noise will be in full swing. and while this high-pitched buzzing occurs every year throughout the midwest, experts say this year will be unique due to a rare emergence of cicadas that hasn't happened since the 1800s. >> we just had that solar eclipse recently. you only have so many opportunities in your life to see and witness something like that. and the cicadas are very similar. >> reporter: pj liesch is an extension entomologist at university of wisconsin, madison. he is also referred to as the wisconsin bug guy. >> these are the cicadas we'll be seeing emerge in large numbers this year. >> reporter: parts of southern wisconsin will experience these periodical cicadas, which only emerge every 13 or 17 years, a cycle scientists don't have a clear answer for.

they're 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. >> that is going to be very similar impacts to if you paid to have your lawn aerated. >> reporter: the cicadas are expected in big numbers. hundreds of trillions of them, maybe more, across 16 states. for cbs news, emily fannon, madison, wisconsin. straight ahead on the "cbs
