3:30 am
>> oh, yes. it's a giant cicadas singles bar. >> that's a nicer way of saying it. >> reporter: i'm ben tracy in charleston, illinois. and that's the "cbs news roundup." reporting from new york city, i'm shanelle kaul. hello and thank you so much for watching. i'm shanelle kaul in new york, and here some of the stories we're tracking on "cbs news roundup." terror alert in france as one suspect is arrested coinciding with president biden's visit. sensational new details from witnesses from hunter biden's drug use and alleged behavior

3:34 am

3:36 am
the incident comes amid heightened tensions between israel and lebanon's powerful iran-backed hezbollah movement, who have been trading cross-border fire since the war in gaza began. israel's prime minister warned of a very strong action in the north with fears only growing israel could engage in a wider war with hezbollah. tens of thousands of israelis marched through the old city for jerusalem day, an annual celebration of what israel calls the reunification of east and west jerusalem following the 1967 arab-israeli war. what makes this part of the march so controversial is the muslim quarter of east jerusalem, and it's seen as a real provocation to march through here like this. as the groups marched, palestinians and journalists were attacked. and as some chanted "death to arabs," they tried to block our

cameras from filming. >> i'm trying to do my job. >> reporter: then kicked and shoved us as we were forced to leave by police. and cbs news has learned the white house's top middle east adviser has been sent to egypt and the head of the cia to qatar as part of the attempts to push for breakthrough on the israeli plan outlined by president biden to end the war in gaza and see the hostages released. imtiaz tyab, cbs news, tel aviv. severe weather and a flash tornado are now being blamed for the death of a 2-year-old child in a suburban detroit city of livonia. alongside the boy, his mother was critically injured. this according to rescue workers when a tree fell on their home wednesday afternoon. a 2-month-old was also inside the home when this happened, but is expected to be okay. and take a look at this video inside a tornado that ripped through montgomery county, maryland. officials say the violent tornado toppled a tree on to a

4:02 am
originally from the russian occupied donbas region of ukraine. the suspect sustained injuries in the blast and is cooperating with french police. french media reports guns and false passports were also found. the incident comes ahead of d-day commemoration events, a major speech by the president friday at normandy, a major military parade in the president's honor in the streets of paris on saturday, and a little more than a month before the summer olympics begin. ed o'keefe, cbs news, paris. turning now to the trial of hunter biden as jurors heard vivid and salacious details on wednesday about his addiction and alleged behavior. this all took place prosecutors say during a period when president biden's only son is accused of illegally buying a firearm. he is facing three criminal charges. cbs' scott macfarlane was inside the courtroom for the second day of testimony. >> reporter: first lady jill biden spent a third day at the courthouse, again, seated behind hunter biden as prosecutors tried to prove he illegally

purchased this colt .38 handgun while using drugs in 2018, lying on the application form. they called two women formerly in his life to the stand to help make their case. his ex-wife kathleen buhle testified she found a crack pipe at their washington, d.c. home in 2015, was rejected when she urged him to go to rehab, and would scour his car to make sure their kids didn't find drugs. but under cross-examination, hunter biden's attorney abbe lowell got her to admit she never actually assault saw hunter biden do drugs. former prosecutor tom dupree. >> the key evidence is going to be provided by people intimately close to hunter biden, ex-wife, ex-girlfriends and the like. i can only imagine this is probably excruciatingly painful for hunter biden, among other people, to sit in court and hear this. >> reporter: the former girlfriend zoe kestan who dated him for much of 2018 testified hunter biden frequently bought and used crack, at times using a chopstick to clean out his crack pipe.
4:04 am
>> i went one time for 13 days without sleeping. and smoking crack and drinking vodka exclusively. >> reporter: kestan said the president's son was using drugs as late as 2018, weeks before he bought the gun, and again weeks later in 2018. prosecutors showed the jury a series of photo of drugs allegedly used by hunter biden and an image of a video of a shirtless biden, allegedly with drug paraphernalia. >> it really leaves no doubt that hunter biden was using controlled substances. it doesn't give much room that he wasn't at some point in time addicted. >> reporter: still on the list is hallie biden, beau biden's widow, a woman who hunter had a romantic relationship at the time of the gun purchase. hunter biden has pleaded not guilty to all three felony charges. scott macfarlane, cbs news, wilmington, delaware. israel's military says it made a deadly strike on a u.n. school building in gaza on
4:05 am
thursday morning but claims the building was the site of a hamas compound. the hamas media office says at least 39 people were killed in the strike and dozens wounded. this comes as u.s. embassies across the middle east remain on high alert following an attack on wednesday morning outside the u.s. embassy in beirut. a suspected isis gunman was shot by security forces and arrested. no americans were hurt, but it comes as tensions rise along the israel-lebanon border, increasing the threat of a widening war. more now on this from cbs' imtiaz tyab in israel, where he was roughed up while covering a demonstration in jerusalem. >> reporter: this cell phone video captured what appears to be the shooter as he exchanged fire with the lebanese army outside the u.s. embassy. the attacker a syrian national was shot and has been hospitalized as investigators continue to search for a motive.
4:06 am
the incident comes amid heightened tensions between israel and lebanon's powerful iran-backed hezbollah movement, who have been trading cross-border fre since the war in gaza began. israel's prime minister warned of a very strong action in the north with fears only growing israel could engage in a wider war with hezbollah. tens of thousands of israelis marched through the old city for jerusalem day, an annual celebration of what israel calls the reunification of east and west jerusalem following the 1967 arab-israeli war. what makes this part of the march so controversial is the muslim quarter of east jerusalem, and it's seen as a real provocation to march through here like this. as the groups marched, palestinians and journalists were attacked. and as some chanted "death to arabs," they tried to block our cameras from filming.

welcome back to "cbs news roundup." i'm shanelle kaul in new york. president biden is in france for festivities marking the 80th anniversary of the d-day invasion. the massive allied assault on german forces in normandy turned the tide of world war ii. history books often focus on the infantry brigades that stormed the beaches, but allied paratroopers also played a key role.
4:11 am
this week, hundreds of reenactors jump from the sky to honor their bravery and sacrifice, and that includes our very own charlie d'agata. >> reporter: not much has changed in the training of those paratroopers who risked and lost their lives storming into normandy 80 years ago. >> step forward quick, march! >> reporter: how to jump, land, and pack your own parachute safely. a lot can go wrong, and mistakes can be fatal. in the netherlands, we put that training to the test. there are no practice runs for jumping. we climb to a height of 2,000 feet. there is no turning back now. . >> hit the door, charlie. hands down, hands down! >> reporter: i free fall for five terrifying seconds and then check to see if my parachute has fully opened. >> i've got a good canopy. easy.
4:12 am
brace for impact. right. that was a good landing. >> reporter: my first ever jump out of the way. the next few landings were not as smooth. i was starting to understand the challenges of hitting a drop zone, and nobody is shooting at me. i got a gust, and the next thing i know i'm on the playground. >> reporter: finally, jump five. i needed this to earn my wings. >> what the -- 4,000, check canopy. nailed it! i nailed it! finally. >> reporter: qualified to make the jump into normandy itself. >> fall off. >> reporter: it's when you get suited up like this that you start to imagine what it must have been like for the servicemen, the soldiers that day, jumping into the unknown.
4:13 am
the vast majority of those taking part in this jump are u.s. military veterans, including paratroopers from the 82nd and 101s airborne divisions. more than 13,000 of their own forces spearheaded that initial d-day assault. we boarded pegasus. >> you in. >> reporter: one of three c-47s that will drop us into france. airfields like this across england would have been jam-packed that night. as we make our journey due south, we're mentally running through the same drills those soldiers would have. the big difference here is some of these guys are just 19, 20 years old, and they're carrying 60 to 70 pounds of heavy equipment with them. they're landing in the dark. their aircraft is coming under fire, and so are they. as we crossed the english channel into france, the only sound on board was the roar of the engines.
4:14 am
until it was go-time. our aircraft comes into view, leading the way in the skies above carentan in the heart of the d-day drop zones. one by one, we followed in their footsteps. exiting the c-47 was much more violent than the small plane i had tried on. >> 2,000, 3,000. >> reporter: grateful to see an open parachute. >> got to go toward the t. where are these guys going? >> reporter: grateful for the opportunity to take part. okay. i'm parachuting into france. grateful to those who gave their lives in the name of liberating this hallowed ground. >> okay. not too fast, not too fast! >> reporter: finally grateful for a safe landing. >> i did it. >> reporter: even if it wasn't exactly textbook. >> i just landed in france. that was the moment of a lifetime, to having the
4:15 am
privilege of landing here in normandy as you can see the dakotas overhead, my fellow parachuters coming in. >> reporter: we were all able to walk away. not everybody walked away 80 years ago. it is here where they fell and here where they will always be remembered. it took three days of heavy fighting to take over that territory, partly because so many troops landed off target. the american cemetery behind me contains the graves of 9,388 military dead, most of whom lost their lives in the d-day landings in the operations that followed. >> that was charlie d'agata in france. cbs news will bring you full coverage of the festivities marking this anniversary. you're watching "cbs news roundup."

4:19 am
can no longer serve. >> reporter: israel's response to october 7th troubled former army major harrison mann from the start. >> they were dropping 6,000 bombs a day. they were burning through munitions, exhausting their supply. you know, it was very easy to link our support, which i was part of, to the killing in gaza. >> reporter: what bothered this intelligence officer specializing in the middle east the most, his view that the israelis were targeting palestinian civilians indiscriminately, and that u.s. weapons made it possible. were the israelis using american weapons against civilians in gaza? >> i can say almost certainly, yes. >> reporter: but were they doing so intentionally? >> i don't know how you kill 35,000 civilians by accident. >> reporter: israel insists it's doing its best to limit civilian casualties, and that hamas uses civilians as human shields.

but that wasn't enough. weeks later, mann resigned, later explaining in a letter. >> at some point, whatever the justification, you're either advancing a policy that enables the mass starvation of children or you're not. >> reporter: you felt your work was directly connected to starving children? >> yes. there is going to be times when there is members that have different views. it's certainly your right to get out and i'll leave it at that. >> i decided i would resign. >> reporter: more than a half dozen government officials have publicly resigned to protest u.s. support for israel's war. man is the first from the military, the first from the intelligence community, and the first who is jewish. >> i think it's important to understand that this is from a security perspective. israel is not under existential threat. >> reporter: and what do you say to american jews who would say to you what are you talking about?

if you are somebody who is really motived by the concern to protect jewish life, you should be fighting for them to conduct it in a way that basically does not turn the whole world against them. >> reporter: the grandson of jews who fled the antisemitism of eastern europe knows his stance will create some harsh blowback. >> i didn't feel i can i had that much of a choice. >> reporter: but he feels the only way to influence u.s. policy is to no longer assist those who make it. those who make it. jim axelrod, cbs news, if you spit blood when you brush, it could be the start of a domino effect. new parodontax active gum repair breath freshener. clinically proven to help reverse the four signs of early gum disease. a new toothpaste from parodontax, the gum experts. when it comes to your wellness routine, the details are the difference. dove men body wash, with plant based moisturizers in harmony with our bodies for healthier feeling skin. all these details add up to something greater.

4:28 am
that crawl out of the ground and up into the trees was quite predictable. periodical cicadas have emerged like clockwork every 13 or 17 years, depending on their brood. it's been about as easy as astronomers predicting a solar eclipse. >> now we're seeing periodical cicadas coming out of the ground predicted by entomologists. at a time when people have lost faith in science, this shows that science works and we get it right. >> i was here in 1990. >> reporter: biologist gene kritsky has been studying cicadas for decades, but he says climate change may be changing the cicadas timing. scientists believe they count years through the changes in fluid flow in tree roots. and when their year to emerge arrives, they stay under ground until the soil temperature reaches 64 degrees. but on our warming planet, precipitation changes. spring is arriving earlier, and so are the cicadas, showing up
4:29 am
in georgia last month nearly two weeks ahead of schedule. do i have a cicada on my back? >> yes, you do. oh, it is a big one. >> reporter: kritsky found the same thing happening around cincinnati. >> before 1940, the average date was the 28th, 29th of may. in 2021, they emerged 11 days, almost two weeks earlier. this is true for baltimore, for washington, for philadelphia, for indianapolis. zones are moving north, and the cicadas are responding. >> reporter: in 2017, a brood of 17-year cicada arrived years ahead of schedule, making these normally punctual insects a bit more unpredictable. but once they do appear, cicadas live for just a few weeks, and have only one thing on their little minds, making sure their species survives. so it sounds kind of crass, but this is just kind of one big sex party. these things are here for that. >> oh, yes. it's a giant cicadas singles bar.
