new york. >> announcer: this is the "cbs overnight news." tonight ukraine's 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 didn't happen without a fight from hard right republicans. cbs's 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: there's more than

$60 billion in assistance set aside for kyiv, including nearly $14 billion to help ukraine buy advanced weapons systems and defense equipment. 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 -- 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 saturdy that would ban tiktok in the u.s. if the app's parent company does not divest from china. the company says that 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 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. >> yeah, that is a big one. 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 israeli-occupied west bank. that's where we find cbs's debora patta in jerusalem with more on the impact the war is having on children. debora. >> reporter: good evening. every ten minutes a child is killed in gaza according to the united nations. that's 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, sa brien 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 who houses. among the dead, 13 children. the youngest, just 2 years old. >> reporter: here israeli

defense force soldiers prepare for a different mission. but this is not in gaza. it's idf footage in the west bank city of tulkarem, where they say they conducted a counterterrorism operation, killing 14 militants in close contact. 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 they've been completely destroyed, making sure that 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 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 thank you for your reporting. >> opening statements will be heard in the first criminal trial of former president donald trump. cbs's shanelle kaul is outside the courthouse there in lower manhattan. shanelle. >> reporter: 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. >> i think we're going to have to just do a raincheck. i'm so sad. >> reporter: speaking to supporters over a loudspeaker, 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 wij 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 six 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 the individual 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

the defendant that they will be harassed by the defendant on social media and that those witnesses may be intimidated about their testimony or their safety may be in danger. >> reporter: 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 trump's new york civil fraud case. this over new concerns about the company's finances and legitimacy. jericka? >> shanelle kaul for us in manhattan. thank feeling sluggish or weighed down? could be a sign that your digestive system isn't at its best. but a little metamucil everyday can help. metamucil's psyllium fiber gels to trap

importance of protecting the environment. earth day has been marked since 1970. this year's events will take place in more than 190 countries around the world. now, despite recent efforts to slow climate change, the average temperature here in the united states has climbed more than 2 1/2 degrees since the first earth day and carbon dioxide in the atmosphere has increased by nearly a third. well, some new technologies are offering hope for the future. here's senior national and environmental correspondent ben tacy. >> when you replace it you open those things up. >> reporter: when you spend the day with bill gates, the first thing you notice -- >> what is that? >> reporter: -- is that he asks a lot of questions. >> but what type of up time is realistic? >> 6, 10, 12? >> reporter: we met up with him in corpus christi, texas as he learned about a startup called infinium. >> i'm a software guy. i wasn't even that good in the chemistry lab.

>> reporter: infiniium uses waste carbon dioxide from nearby oil and gas refineries and converts it into ultra low carbon fuels that may replace diesel for long haul trucking and jet fuel for airplanes. >> this has all the benefits of fuel as we know it today, without the emissions. >> what is this vehicle running on? >> so this vehicle is running on r.e. fuels. that's zero carbon fuel from our fuels facility. >> reporter: it also powered our ride around the plant. >> there plant is literal ly 1/100 the size of the one they're dreaming of making. >> reporter: infinium got funding from an organization gates founded in 2014 that's raised mor than $2 billion to support about 120 climate tech start-ups. they're trying to drafrm everything from how he makes cement and clothing to how we power our lives and even how we

turn the pollution we can't eliminate into bricks that are buried underground. >> breakthrough energy only funds things that can make a significant impact on emissions. >> so many of these things people hear about them and say that sounds really cool but can they actually do this at the scale that we need. >> it can happen. i mean, this is much harder than we think. the hardest part is not actually the breakthroughs in the lab. that's been going very well. the hardest part is when you take that and actually built these big physical plants. this is a particularly large reservoir under this king ranch. >> reporter: one of those big plants will be built here, on the largest cattle ranch in texas. it will be a direct air capture facility, which sucks in planet-warming carbon dioxide and buries it underneath. >> this term direct air capture means they're just pulling it out of the air. >> reporter: this facility in iceland is currently the world's largest operating plant,

removing from 4,000 tons a year, not even a drop in the co2 bucket. but a new one being built in west texas called stratos is expected to remove 500,000 tons per year. >> this is really the hub of co2. >> reporter: the one here on the ranch could eventually capture 1 million tons. they are being developed by oil and gas giant occidental, which plans to build 100 of them with the help of federal tax credits. vicky holub is the company's ceo. >> ewe're the only company doin if at a large scale. >> reporter: but occidental is doing this so it can sell so-called carbon offset credits to other companies krath new revenue stream. it will also take the co2 captured at its stratos plant and inject it back into the ground to push out more oil, a product holub argues is nfltly fr

inherently friendly. >> some say this sounds like greenwashing. >> we are developing a technology the world needs. we have to do that. >> reporter: critics and scientists worry that using direct air capture this way will prolong oil production, leading to more planet-warming emissions just as world leaders have pledged to transition away from fossil fuels. >> the real cynical view is that you don't really care about reducing the emissions, that this is about kind of future-proving your business, that you can make money off selling carbon offsets and at the same time you can use co2 to pump more oil. >> we do need money coming in because we do have shareholders. and so the way that we are approaching this mitigation of climate change is in a way that does provide value for our shareholders. >> carbon capture won't solve the entire problem. it's part of our arsenal of tools. >> reporter: gates says the oil and gas industry can be part of the solution if they use their expertise to reduce emissions. he personally pays carbon

capture companies $9 million a year to offset his own pollution, a perk of being one of the richest people on the planet. >> i have a plane. i have a huge carbon footprint. >> reporter: he knows most people can't afford to do that. which is why he believes technology and american innovation is the key to combating the climate crisis. >> some of these things will not succeed. and that's why it's great to have multiple technologies that are showing promise. >> that was

documenting how rising temperatures are changing our planet is the life's work of photographer james balogh. his motivation, ice. here again is ben tracy. >> that's it. you've got it. >> reporter: if you ever decide to try your hand at climbing a 70-foot-tall wall of ice, it's helpful to have a guide who knows quite a bit about frozen water. >> thanks for taking me ice climbing. >> well, you're welcome. >> that is harder than it looks. >> yeah, no joke, right? >> what is it that fascinates you about ice? >> it's so weird-looking. compared to every other material you see on the surface of the earth. i just feel like i'm entering this other realm, this other kingdom. >> reporter: we met up with james balogh at the ice park in colorado's box canyon.

but he has visited some of the most remote and remarkable kingdoms of ice all over the planet. capturing stunning images of these severe and surreal landscapes as an environmental photographer. >> the big problem with being a photographer is that you have to be there and you have to see something and you have it tourn it into something inside that little rectangle. i think of it as an adventure with a purpose. >> reporter: for decades that purpose has been to document the dramatic climatic changes happening on our warming planet. vanishing ice, rising seas. the floods, the fires, and the toll it's taking on all living things. balogh has become one of the foremost chroniclers of human-caused climate change. so many of the things you've actually documented no ed no lo exist. do you think about that? >> on the ice project i think

about that all the time. i mean, i'm stunned by it. >> you are a bit of a convert. you were a climate change skeptic at one point. >> well, yeah. i just had this reflexive human assumption that our little species wasn't strong enough to change this huge organism called nature with a capital n. then eventually i realized that that assumption was wrong and that i needed to somehow dprs the reality of what was going on through the pictures and that's what became the ice prongt project. >> reporter: balogh founded the extreme ice survey in 2007 a network of cameras watching glaciers, each providing thousands of images per year that when combined reveal how quickly we are reshaping our planet. >> look at that. >> reporter: the 2012 documentary "chasing ice" shows the moment balogh's team captured one of the largest ice

calving events ever recorded. as a massive piece of ice the size of lower manhattan broke off the greenland ice sheet. >> when i started the extreme ice survey, climate change was still as a pretty abstract thing. it was something that was going to happen 20 or 30 or 50 years from now. and my god, when you could start to realize no, it's happening right now, right in front of us, it put a real marker in time to say this is now. this is real. >> reporter: and balogh is also using his krarm to prepare us for what's to come. he shot this series on sea level rise in the chesapeake bay. >> the woman vanessa with her son trey on her back standing in the water. it expresses the idea of sea level. that the ocean levels will be different when that little boy is grown up than they are today when vanessa is standing in the water and i'm standing in the

water with them. i get a little choked up because these historical weights sometimes kind of trigger something in my head. and it symbolically evokes the fact those kids will live in a different world than the parents do. >> i'd like to see that one again. >> reporter: balogh has spent the past four years sorting through and editing nearly 2 million of his photos. he recently delivered many of them to the library of congress, where they will join the permanent collection alongside iconic environmental photographs such as dorthea lang's images from the dust bowl during the great depression. >> very iconic image. >> reporter: micah messenger is a photography curator at the library. >> jim's photographs are drawing on these points and addressing a lot of the same subject matter that was being addressed by these photographers in the 1930s. >> my brain is reeling. when i see a dorthea lang picture up next to one of mine

i'm thinking this is a high honor, i am really thrilled to be here. this picture i've known this ever since i picked up a camera. and so that reply images should be in the same context as iconic pictures like this, it's pretty great. >> oh, wow. i mean, look at this. look at this. >> reporter: his legacy living on here at the library of congress. >> the memory of what i preserved on that piece of paper will advance into the future. >> reporter: has added meaning because as balogh has been documenting the fragility of life on our planet the 71-year-old is also struggling with his own. >> i was diagnosed in mid summer of 2019 with cancer of the blood called multiple myeloma. it certainly made me feel much more mortal and vulnerable than i ever did before. >> i'm getting too old for this [ bleep ]. >> reporter: it's made climbing walls of ice more of a struggle.

>> i found myself panting down here way more than i should have. >> reporter: but it also motivates him to keep going while both he and the ice are still here. he hopes his photos are his testament, a record of our past and present, and a message for the future. >> i want to be able to say to those people of the distant future, look, not everybody in this time in, you know, 2024 was terribly conscious or cared about climate change, but i want

the battle against climate change is taking place on land, in the air and also at sea. ian lee has more on that story. >> reporter: sailing the high seas is a dirty business. uk startup seabound hopes to clean it up. their device captures the ship's

exhaust and funnels it into a chamber where it mixes with the chemical quicklime, turning carbon dioxide into stone. >> we make limestone on ships and lock the co2 into the limestone pebbles. >> reporter: the end result is a container full of rocks which are unloaded at port and processed on land. >> we can do it for cheaper. we can do it at larger scale. and we can use land-based energy infrastructure. so we essentially sort of simplified the problem to just do small capture devices on ships. >> reporter: climate experts say the shipping industry produces rughly 3% of all greenhouse gas emissions. the u.n. aims for it to hit net zero by 205037 seabound's pilot trial captured 80% of the co2 emissions and 90% of toxic sulfur dioxide. >> we have all these ships on the water today that won't be compatible with the new clean fuels that are coming online, so we need to do something about the existing fleets. >> reporter: and on the stormy open seas safety is key.

>> there's nothing toxic. there's nothing explosive. you know, it's very safe. even in an extreme emergency we would be left with just a pile of rocks. >> reporter: the stone age of sailing sending dirty shipping into the sunset. ian lee, cbs news, london. >> and that is the "overnight news" for this earth day. for some of you the news continues. for others make sure you check back later for "cbs mornings." and remember, you can follow us online anytime at cbsnews.com. reporting from the broadcast center here in new york city, i'm jericka duncan. this is "cbs news flash." i'm wendy gillette in new york. opening statements will be heard today in the hush money trial of former president donald trump. prosecutors are also expected to call their first witness, david pecker, the former publisher of

tomorrow is earth day. and cbs news and stations are focusing on people who are trying to protect our planet. our new poll out today shows 2/3 of americans surveyed think it's their responsibility to do something about climate change right now. one scientist is going to great lengths to find out how warmer temperatures are impacting our forests. here's cbs's david schechter. >> reporter: a hot spot for research. that's one way to think of this plot of puerto rican forest, strung with high voltage lines. >> hi. i'm tana. >> i'm david. >> reporter: dr. tana wood is a research ecologist with the research forest service who studies how tropical forests will respond to climate change. >> how can we get this window into a future warmer world hundreds of years into the future? >> reporter: those black panels are electric heaters running 24/7, warming up this plot of

looking underground at the health of the root system, and this device records how much carbon the soil is releasing. >> so after one year of warming we saw a major increase in the amount of carbon dioxide that was coming out of these soils. >> reporter: her experiment is showing us rising temperatures cause forests to release more carbon. more carbon in the atmosphere causes the planet to get warmer. and the cycle continues. >> what happens in these ecosystems has far-reaching consequences for the climate as a whole. >> reporter: david schechter, cbs news, puerto rico. >> you can watch david's full 30-minute special called "protecting life on earth" on air wick. how far would you go to set the ambience of your space? try the air wick way with air wick essential mist. infused with natural essential oils to fill your moment with immersive fragrance for up to 45 days. now that's a breath of fresh air wick. nothing dims my light like a migraine. with nurtec odt, i found relief. the only migraine medication that helps treat and prevent, all in one.
