products adhere to current regulatory requirements, that food safety is a top priority, and the company's testing complies with california proposition 65 and federal standards. serenity kids also told us its products test well below california's prop 65 limits and that although cassava root is more susceptible to lead because it's grown in the ground, the company works with its suppliers to find foods with the lowest achievable levels of cntaminants. in contrast, "consumer reports" also tested sorghum-based puffs from company once upon a farm and found those products had very low levels of lead, some of the lowest lead levels of all the baby food cr has ever tests. cr's takeaway from its testing? >> ultimately parents and consumers deserve better. they need more meaningful action from these companies to limit their exposure to lead. >> reporter: and this mom says of her daughter's snack -- >> most likely i'm not going to give it to her anymore. >> reporter: there are currently

no mandatory required standards from the fda on lead limits in food, so what's a parent to do? well, cr recommends you limit your kids' intake of these types of snacks and have a wide variety of foods available for children. also it points out these levels are a fraction of the levels of some apple cinnamon products, pouchs that were recalled last year. >> well, good to know. >> well, good to know. that was anna i thought i was sleeping ok... but i was waking up so tired. then i tried new zzzquil sleep nasal strips. their four—point lift design opens my nose for maximum air flow. so, i breathe better. and we both sleep better. and stay married. talenti mango sorbetto is made with a hundred percent real fruit. -with alphonso mangoes. -yeah, i know. -oh? -right? -mmm-hmm. talenti. raise the jar. we all need fiber for our digestive health, but less than 10% of us get enough each day. good thing metamucil gummies are an easy way to get prebiotic, plant-based fiber.

we're tracking on "cbs news roundup." in hunter biden's federal trial, the jury hears from the widow of hunter's brother about their drug use and the handgun at the center of this case. solemn commemorations in normandy, france, on the 80th anniversary of the d-day invasion. and donald trump is back on the campaign trail for the first time since his hush money convictions. president biden's own daughter-in-law, hallie biden, described to jurors on thursday in hunter biden's federal gun trial the moment she discovered his revolver. cbs's scott macfarlane was inside the courtroom as she revealed what she did with that gun after finding it. >> reporter: a star witness and a potentially pivotal piece of video evidence at the trial of president biden's son, hunter. hallie biden, the widow of hunter's brother, beau, testified this surveillance video shows her throwing away her brother-in-law's gun in a delaware grocery store parking lot on october 23rd, 2018, just 11 days after hunter biden

bought the gun and just after hallie biden said she found it in hunter biden's car along with drug residue and drug paraphernalia. hallie testified, "i didn't want him to hurt himself or the kids to find it and hurt themselves. i was panicking." prosecutors are trying to prove hunter biden was addicted or using drugs at the time he bought the gun, lying on this federal gun application. >> prosecutors will tell you the physical evidence doesn't lie, and this is about as powerful physical evidence as you can get linking his possession of that gun to his use of illegal drugs. >> reporter: hallie biden also described taking up a romantic relationship with her brother-in-law about a year after her late husband, beau biden's 2015 death, telling the jury it was also hunter biden who introduced her to using crack cocaine, calling her drug use a terrible experience. "i'm embarrassed and ashamed." prosecutors showed hallie biden the gun and images of the satchel in which she found and discarded it. but hunter biden's attorney, abbe lowell, tried to show

hallie biden didn't actually know what hunter was doing the week he bought the gun. "you don't know if he was drinking, using, or either of the above?" lowell asked. "i don't know," she responded. hunter biden faces the prospect of a prison term if convicted of these three federal charges. in an interview earlier today, president biden ruled out a future pardon for his son. scott macfarlane, cbs news, wilmington, delaware. president biden is in france where he took part in ceremonies for the 80th anniversary of the d-day landings. overshadowing those events, russia's war in ukraine. and because of that, russia was the only ally nation not invited. during a speech, biden warned that democracy is now more at risk than at any point since world war ii. cbs's elaine cobbe is in normandy with more. >> reporter: president biden and the first lady bowed their heads in front of a wreath at the american cemetery overlooking omaha beach, where more than 9,000 u.s. soldiers are buried.

earlier, he was joined by french president emmanuel macron, who bestowed the legion of honor, france's highest award, on 11 u.s. world war ii veterans. >> in memory of those who fought here, died here, literally saved the world here, let us be worthy of their sacrifice. >> reporter: the president marks the 80 years since the d-day invasion by saying the u.s. and its allies will not walk away from ukraine as it continues to defend itself against russia. >> we're living in a time when democracy is more at risk across the world than at any point since the end of world war ii, since these beaches were stormed. >> reporter: before the ceremony, the president met with some of the men who survived world war ii. all of them pushing 100 years old or even older. onofri zicari from syracuse, new york, was 21 years old when he landed here. >> we landed, and we had to

crawl on the beach really. i looked over, and there was this g.i. he was sitting on his helmet, and he was holding his guts. the war brings nothing but misery, nothing but misery. >> reporter: with each passing year, fewer and fewer veterans remain to tell the world what happened that day. elaine cobbe, cbs news, normandy, france. one of donald trump's most outspoken allies, steve bannon, was ordered by a federal judge to report to prison by july 1st to serve a four-month sentence. bannon was found to be in contempt of congress in 2022 after failing to cooperate with the house january 6th committee. bannon says he'll fight to appeal his conviction all the way to the supreme court. and bannon's former boss, donald trump, appeared in the battleground state of arizona, firing up supporters at his first campaign event since he was convicted on 34 felony counts in the hush money case. cbs's caitlin huey-burns was there. >> reporter: donald trump took

aim at immigration in the battleground border state key to his chances of winning the presidency. >> joe biden wants an invasion. i want a deportation. >> reporter: cbs news polling shows trump leading biden here with immigration among the top issues of concern. >> they assume that because we're immigrants, we are for criminality and for open borders. no. we have families. we believe in, you know, in america, in a safe border. >> reporter: just this week, state republicans approved a november ballot measure that would allow local police to arrest undocumented migrants crossing the border, a measure aimed at driving voter turnout. >> my workforce is largely an immigrant workforce, and they're not criminals. >> reporter: citrus farmer selwyn justice says he's worried that policy could hurt business. >> somebody might just show up and come into your -- come into your place of business and tell everybody they need to stop working and demonstrate documentation.

>> reporter: trump lost arizona by about 10,000 votes four years ago, and it has been ground zero for false claims about the election. just last month, trump was named an unindicted co-conspirator in an election interference case where several of his allies were charged. and as for his own conviction, trump this week pledged retribution. >> when this election is over, based on what they've done, i would have every right to go after them. >> reporter: and the race to be trump's running mate is also heating up. several contenders have officially received formal vetting documents, and some of the top prospects include north dakota governor doug burgum along with senators tim scott, marco rubio, and j.d. vance, who was traveling with trump today. caitlin huey-burns, cbs news, phoenix. israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu says he will personally make the case to congress defending his nation's ongoing war against hamas. netanyahu was invited to address

the joint session on july 24th. both republican and democratic leaders say it was a bipartisan invitation. prosecutors say the man charged in the gilgo beach serial killings on long island, new york, kept a detailed instruction book to document his crimes. rex heuermann appeared in court on thursday charged with killing two more women for a total of six suspected murders. don't go away. there's plenty more just ahead on "cbs news roundup" after the break.

♪ thanks for joining "cbs news roundup." i'm shanelle kaul in new york. celebrations continue in france marking the 80th anniversary of the d-day invasion. president biden and other world

leaders will attend a military parade and take part in a state dinner, all to honor those who made the ultimate sacrifice to free europe from the grip of nazi germany. d-day is described as the beginning of the end of world war ii, but much fighting still needed to be done. in the weeks after, america poured more than 2 million troops into france. that includes a first of its kind, top-secret unit designed not to fight the germans, but to fool them. tony dokoupil explains. >> the german war machine strikes again. >> reporter: after d-day, german spy planes tracked america's every movement across france, plotting counterstrikes they hoped would stop the allied advance. >> planes plus tanks plus infantry. >> reporter: but some of those american tanks spotted from the air were actually 93-pound inflatable dummies. >> did you ever see a tank walking? >> reporter: part of a special

battalion of fake everything, including phony sound effects played on mobile loudspeakers that made it seem like american troops were on the move. >> what was the mission of the ghost army? >> the mission of the ghost army was to drive the germans crazy. >> reporter: seymour nussenbaum is one of the unit's last surviving members, recruited like many others directly out of art school in new york city. >> nice jeep. >> yeah, that was a real one. >> i appreciate that clarification. >> reporter: in france, he set up fake jeeps, tanks, and planes, never sure the ruse would work. >> but we had some incidents where we blew up a tank, and it started losing air, and the big cannons started to go like this. >> so you were exposed? >> well, they didn't see us because it was at night. but if they would have, that would have been the end of us.

>> reporter: of course, by drawing the enemy's attention, they were basically asking to be shot at, and they often were. at the national world war ii museum in new orleans, curator chase tomlin showed us evidence of those german attacks. >> so this is a piece of shrapnel saved by one of the ghost army veterans. and for me, it just is a symbol of the fact that these guys are near the front lines enough that enemy artillery is going off around them. flying pieces of potentially fatal metal are whizzing by your head. >> reporter: what that shrapnel also proves, of course, is that this war of deception worked. >> so the ghost army, the fake tanks, the fake equipment is going this way. >> right. >> meanwhile, the real stuff is going like this. >> that's pretty much it, yep. >> reporter: with only about 1,100 men, tomlin says, the ghost army could simulate the presence of 30,000, and the military now estimates the lives of up to 30,000 real-life american soldiers were saved by those diversions. >> when you think about the

courage involved here, it's almost like you've got a fake gun in your shirt, you know, but it's actually your finger. >> yep. >> and at any moment, someone could realize it's only his finger. >> that's one of the takeaways here is, you know, you're knowingly putting yourself in danger. you're intentionally drawing enemy artillery fire. it's dangerous. it's dangerous work, and a lot of them just kind of dealt with it, said "this is what we're here for." >> reporter: for seymour nussenbaum, those dangers were obvious the moment he landed on omaha beach about two weeks after d-day. >> what did the beach look like? >> well, it was kind of bedlam. it was all messed up. there were still bodies floating in the bay. >> wow. >> reporter: his work would remain a military secret for another half century. >> when people asked you what did you do in the military, what did you tell them? >> i blew up tanks, and they let it go at that. >> reporter: but the ghost army

was never forgotten. and now the national world war ii museum has a traveling exhibit displaying some of the inflatables that fooled the germans. >> mr. seymour nussenbaum. [ applause ] >> reporter: plus, earlier this year, the remaining veterans of the ghost army received one of america's highest honors, the congressional gold medal. >> look, the guys in the back are holding the tank. >> you know, it's like a symbol for the ghost army now. >> reporter: on this 80th anniversary of d-day, at 101 years old now himself, seymour nussenbaum has earned both clarity and perspective on his unit's success. >> why do you think it worked? >> because we were good. but, you know, that's not the most important thing that happened to me in my life.

>> what was the most important thing that happened to you in your life? >> meeting my wife, having children, grandchildren, having a good career. what else? >> that was tony dokoupil in france. france. you' “the darkness of bipolar depression made me feel like i was losing interest in the things i love. then i found a chance to let in the lyte.” discover caplyta. unlike some medicines that only treat bipolar i, caplyta is proven to deliver significant symptom relief from both bipolar i & ii depression. and in clinical trials, movement disorders and weight gain were not common. caplyta can cause serious side effects. call your doctor about sudden mood changes, behaviors, or suicidal thoughts right away. anti-depressants may increase these risks in young adults. elderly dementia patients have increased risk of death or stroke. caplyta is not approved for dementia-related psychosis. report fever, confusion, or stiff muscles, which may be life threatening, or uncontrolled muscle movements which may be permanent. common side effects include sleepiness, dizziness, nausea, and dry mouth. these aren't all the side effects.

volunteers who saw the story said they wanted to help build these life-changing chairs. so platt put some to work. and with his team at tulane university, they built all these chairs, about 25, in just the last five months. look at little ellie's elation. the smile on theo's face. >> you can do it! come on! >> reporter: and just imagine what little mckenna might be thinking. >> each of those chairs, they cost $200 to make. we're actually working on bringing that price down to about $50. >> reporter: and by this point in the update, you can't be surprised that platt didn't stop there. when an injury prevented seth from playing guitar with his dad, platt pulled a few strings and created this custom guitar pick. and this innovation put the drums within reach for cole, who has cerebral palsy and really wanted to play like his favorite band, the foo fighters.
