arrest warrants sought. the world's top prosecutor accusing israeli and hamas leaders of war crimes. the fallout and reaction. and another round of severe storms moves across the plains with nearly 50 million people at risk. well, good morning and good to be with you. i'm anne-marie green. we start with the stunning and chaotic development in donald trump's so-called hush money trial. the first defense witness will return to the stand today after the judge threatened to remove him. that followsedmore explosive testimony from michael cohen who admitted steal ling thousands o dollars from the trump organization. cbs's jarred hill joins us now in new york with the details. quite a day in court, jarred. >> you know, anne-marie, there's always something. the judge had already cleared the courtroom, so the jury did not see the tense exchange between him and the defense's first witness, former federal prosecutor robert costello, but there were plenty of other

fireworks as the trump team continues to chip away at michael cohen's credibility. this comes after a fiery monday on the stand. at one point judge juan merchan ordered the jury out of the room and reprimanded costello for talking over him, rolling his eyes, and making comments under his breath. >> the person that the jury most identifies with is the judge, so it's not a good thing for the defense to put on a witness where it's apparent that the judge is not pleased with that witness. >> reporter: the prosecute rested yesterday. in his fourth day on the stand trump fixer michael cohen admitted to stealing from the organization. in 2017 they owed a technology

company $50,000. cohen said he paid them about $20,000 in cash in a brown pape% bag and kept the rest. you stole from the trump organization, right, asked trump attorney todd blanche. yes, sir, cohen said. he defended his actions saying he was angry his bonus had been cut and felt he was owed the money. >> michael cohen is such a proven liar, that why should it surprise us that he's also a thief. >> reporter: later the defense moved to dismiss the charges which accuse trump of falsifying business records to hide so-called hush money payments to adult film star stormy daniels over an alleged sexual encounter, all of which trump denies. so sources are telling cbs news it's not likely that trump will take the stand, anne-marie. closing arguments, meanwhile, are now expected to start a week from today. >> all right, jarred hill, really interesting. a fallout this morning following the request from the enter national criminal court's chief prosecutor for arrest warrants for israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu and leaders of hamas. house republicans are looking at sanctions against the world's

court while president biden came out swings swinging, slamming the icc, and strongly defending is reeling ice actions to take out hamas. >> let me be clear. contrary to allegations against israel by the international a court of justice, what's happening is not genocide. we reject that. >> so what does this mean? cbs's imtiaz tyab reports from east jerusalem. >> reporter: no foot soldier, no commander, no civilian leader, no one can act with impunity. >> reporter: the icc's chief prosecutor karim khan making it clear that hamgs's october 7th attack and israel's response to it allegedly breached international rules of war. prime minister netanyahu named alongside defense minister gallant for allegations of war crimes and crimes against humanity responded with fury. >> what a travesty of justice, what a disgrace. >> reporter: the potential arrest warrant comes as netanyahu is under growing

political pressure at home. still reaction at this demonstration to the potential of an arrest warrant for a prime minister many here want out of power was mixed. >> what is your reaction? >> i want to kiss him on both cheeks. >> you think that mr. netanyahu should be tried at the hague. >> yes, and gallant too. >> what's your reaction to it? >> there's no way you can compare hamas and hamas leaders to anything our leaders have done. definitely there's no match. >> reporter: three of hamas' senior leaders may also face icc arrest warrants for crimes including extermination, murder, hostage taking, rape and sexual violence, and torture. prominent human rights lawyer amal clooney also announced she was part of the panel of legal experts that recommended the arrest warrants. neither the u.s. nor israel recognize the icc's authority,

but just like vladimir putin for his actions in ukraine, netanyahu could have a warrant out for his arrest in more than 100 countries. and president biden called the move by the icc prosecutors outrageous, but it could take up to two months for any arrest warrants to be issued as the court now has to decide not only whether to do so, but whether the case against the leaders of israel and hamas can proceed. imtiaz tyab, cbs news, east jerusalem. well, the world is watching closely on what happened in iran after the president of iran was killed in a helicopter crash. they started with prayers and a procession through the largest city in the mountainous region where the chopper went down. the u.s. state department calls the iranian president a brutal president to the iranian people.

>> reporter: in the dense fog at first light, iranian state media showed what was the crash sight of twisted debris. rescue teams pulled bodies from the wreckage, all eight people killed when the chopper came down in a remote mountainous terrain where president raisi and others had been on a trip. mourners gathered in tehran and in other cities across the country. but in cities like berlin and london, iranian demonstrators celebrated the death of the former prosecutor known as the butcher of tehran. on his watch as president, enforcing that brutal crackdown on dissidents following the death almost two years ago of the 22-year-old was detained for allegedly not wearing a head scarf properly, and that massive drone and missile attack against israel just last month in addition to backing hamas, hezbollah, and houthi rebels.

raisi was seen as a possible successor to the 85-year-old supreme leader ayatollah khamenei, but not the only one. khamenei's son is also considered a front-runner and now possibly a favorite. the u.s. state department said iran had asked for u.s. assistance after the crash but was unable to provide it for logistical reasons and dismissed action sanctions that u.s. was to blame for the helicopter parts. >> ultimately it's the government's decision to fly a 45-year-old helicopter in dangerous conditions. a majority of the 18 people indicted in arizona's so-called electors case are set to face a judg today including trump attorney and former new york city mayor rudy giuliani. giuliani was the last to be served at his 80th birthday
