conflict from spreading beyond what it already has. >> reporter: cbs news has learned that during a phone call saturday night, president biden urged prime minister netanyahu to think carefully and strategically about the risks of escalation and said that if the idf launched a reprisal strike on iran, the u.s. would not participate. biden issued this warning to iran just one day before the strikes. >> don't. >> reporter: tehran went ahead anyway. >> does that signal to iran that it can defy the u.s. without facing any consequences? >> if i'm sitting in tehran and i'm taking a look at what just happened on saturday night, i don't think i'd be betting that the united states is not willing to get engaged here and help defend israel. >> reporter: house speaker mike johnson says the house would soon vote on aid for israel in light of the iranian attack. tonight the white house says it opposes any measure that focuses

solely on israel as it pushes congress to pass a package that also includes money for ukraine and border security. norah. >> weijia jiang at the white house with those tough questions today. thank you very much. a new mexico judge today handed down the maximum sentence of 18 months in prison to the weapons supervisor on the set of the alec baldwin movie rust. hannah gutierrez-reed was found guilty last month in the accidental shooting death of the film's cinematographer, halyna hutchins. cbs's elise preston reports on what this could mean for baldwin's upcoming trial. >> reporter: a handcuffed hannah gutierrez-reed, the chief weapons handler on the troubled movie seat rust wiped away tears as she listened to gut-wrenching impact statements. >> a live bullet should never have made its way onto the set, let alone the gun, full stop. and that is where hannah gutierrez-reed, as the armorer on rust, failed halyna. >> reporter: the juror found the 27-year-old armorer guilty of involuntary manslaughter in the

2021 shooting of the film's cinematographer. she was struck by a live round from the gun held by actor alec baldwin. live ammunition mistakenly loaded by gutierrez-reed. >> ms. gutierrez continues to fail to accept responsibility for her role in the death of halyna hutchins. >> reporter: the prosecutor says gutierrez-reed had shown no contrition, citing nearly 200 jailhouse phone calls in which she described the jury as idiots, accused the judge of being paid off, and wanting to put alec baldwin in jail. >> the jury has found me in part at fault for this god-awful tragedy, but that doesn't make any a monster. that makes me human. >> reporter: despite her plea for leniency, the judge handed down the maximum, 18-month prison sentence. >> you alone turned a safe weapon into a lethal weapon. please take her. >> reporter: the family of gutierrez-reed plans to appeal as alec baldwin prepares for his trial. >> what alec baldwin is going to

argue is this is a tragedy, and the person responsible has already been found guilty and is already in prison. >> reporter: in today's statements, loved ones of hutchins called for accountability for everyone involved in her death. baldwin also faces involuntary manslaughter charges, but he's maintained his innocence. his trial is scheduled for july. norah. >> elise preston, thank you very much. we learned today that the fbi opened a criminal investigation and boarded the cargo ship that crashed into baltimore's francis scott key bridge last month. six construction workers were killed when the bridge collapsed. the body of a fourth worker was recovered from a sunken vehicle on sunday. the fbi isn't discussing the scope of its investigation, but a source tells the associated press the ship apparently had electrical problems before it left port but took off anyway. major developments now in the disappearance of two mothers from kansas. police believe their bodies have been found and four people are under arrest. we get details in this

disturbing case from cbs's mark strassmann. >> reporter: heart break in the heartland. investigators say the two-week search for veronica butler and jilian kelley is over. >> this case did not end the way we had hoped. it has certainly been a tragedy for everybody involved. >> reporter: the kansas moms went missing march 30th while going to pick up butler's children in oklahoma. their car was left abandoned on the side of a rural road. blood and a broken hammer found nearby. >> we felt this wasn't a random deal, all right? we felt that with some of the information coming in, that it was more targeted. >> reporter: on saturday, four people were arrested in connection to the case. tad cullum, tiffany adams, and cole and cora twombly, all charged with first-degree murder, kidnapping, and conspiracy. in an affidavit released today, police say adams was the pa ternlt grandmother of butler's children and the two were locked

in a custody battle. police also say adams bought five stun guns at a local gun shop and three burner phones, all of which pinged near where butler's car was found and at a property 8 1/2 miles away, where police found a freshly dug hole covered by hay. >> this case was tragic. you have two people who are -- who are dead and four people that committed an absolutely brutal crime. >> reporter: police say the four belonged to an anti-government group and had tried to kill butler before. norah, they'll be in court on wednesday. >> such a disturbing story. mark strassmann, thank you. now to some breaking news from the u.s. supreme court. the high court is allowing idaho to largely enforce its ban on gender affirming care for transgender children under 18 while lawsuits over the law go forward. justice clarence thomas was not in court today and did not participate remotely in arguments. there was no explanation given

but it was camilla cardozo and the university of south carolina who capped their undefeated season with the title, and cardoza named the game's most outstanding player, is also expected to be a top pick along with 2021 national championship cmeron brink of stanford and 2023 champion angel reese of lsu. but all season, clark's been the headline, and now the wnba is seeking to make the most of it as she helps elevate women's basketball on the court and off. >> you make a lot of jokes about women's sports, don't you, michael? >> i wouldn't say a lot, but -- >> reporter: over the weekend, clark made a surprise appearance on "saturday night live," giving a shout-out to those who waved the way. >> thanks to all the players l that kicked down the door so i could walk inside.

>> reporter: even before the draft, teams in the wnba were marketing clark's games with the indiana fever to try to build on that caitlin effect, and ticket prices have quadrupled in the resale market. if you can't get a ticket, 36 of indiana's 40 regular season games will be on national television. last year, norah, espn only had one. >> things are changing. jan crawford, thank you so much. a tax day computer glitch prevents some h & r block prevents some h & r block customers from filing their tax finally yasso! a ridiculously creamy, dipped, chipped, sandwiched, ice cream-like experience that's super snackable and made with greek yogurt. so ice cream, get the whoop out of our freezer! yasso. love it or it's free.

"heart of america" is next with an effort to bridge the gap for black baseball players on this annual jackie robinson day.

finally, tonight's "heart of america." on opening day this year, just 6% of players were black. the fewest in decades according to the mlb. and as the country celebrates jackie robinson's legacy today, a group in chicago is working to

give the next generation of black players a chance at living their field of dreams. here's cbs's charlie de mar. >> reporter: 77 years after jackie robinson blazed a trail for black players, coaches like ernest horton know the work is far from over. >> the grassroots are suffering and there's no baseball being played in the communities, of course it's not going to be black baseball players in mlb. >> reporter: horton is a public shools teacher in chicago and started black baseball media, an organization giving players from predominantly underserved communities access to top-notch facilities and exposure to college scouts. >> seeing is believing. everyone is drinking the kool-aid. >> reporter: high school senior kamarry thomas will play in college. so will demere heidelberg, aiming to follow in the footsteps of current black big leaguers. >> what difference does that make having that access? >> it's a huge difference because usually kids with my skin color, they can't get into it because they don't either

have the money, or they don't have the exposure to it. >> what message does that send to you? how does that sit? >> it's time for everybody to get their boots on the ground. it's time to unite. we can't sit here on the sideline and complain about it. >> reporter: bridging baseball's racial divide for the next generation. charlie de mar, cbs news, crestwood, illinois. >> need more coaches like ernest horton, and that's why he's tonight's "heart of america." and that's the overnight news for this tuesday. for some of you, the news continues. for others, check back later for "cbs mornings" and remember you can follow us online anytime at cbsnews.com. reporting from here in the nation's capital, i'm norah o'donnell. this is "cbs news flash." i'm shanelle kaul in new york. boeing defended the construction of its 787 and 777 jets monday, saying it is fully confident in

have already been dismissed. >> nothing like this has ever happened before. there's never been anything like it. >> announcer: this is the "cbs overnight news." good evening. i'm norah o'donnell and thank you for being with us. we want to show the dramatic pictures today from san francisco and the golden gate bridge, where pro-palestinian protesters shut down one of the most iconic bridges in america for nearly five hours. it was part of a worldwide economic blockade. we'll get to that story in just a moment. but we do want to begin tonight with the first criminal prosecution of a former president of the united states. the so-called hush money trial of donald trump is under way with nearly 100 potential jurors being questioned on the first day. none were picked today. jury selection could take up to two weeks. trump is facing 34 felony counts

for falsifying business records in order to hide an alleged affair with former porn star stormy daniels. as he left court, a clearly angry trump lashed out at the judge, who said he's expected to be there every day, and this trial could last eight weeks. cbs's robert costa starts us off tonight. >> reporter: a history-making moment in lower manhattan this morning. >> very honored to be here. >> reporter: donald trump had his rights read to him by new york judge juan merchan, acknowledging he understood, and officially became the first former president ever to stand criminal trial. during the proceedings, trump appeared irritated at times and bored at others, even appearing to nod off at one point. later perking up when jury selection began, turning to face potential jurors as they filed into the courtroom. the juror questionnaire posed 42 questions, including if they've ever attended a trump rally or if they follow the former

president on social media. more than half of the 96 prospective jurors questioned today were excused, many after saying they could not be fair and impartial. >> this is going to be a difficult task because there is virtually no one who has no opinion about donald trump. whether you voted for him or you voted against him, you still have an opinion about the criminal case against him. >> reporter: trump is accused of scheming to funnel payments to adult film star stormy daniels through his former lawyer, michael cohen. both, along with former aide hope hicks, are expected to be called as witnesses. >> i'm hoping with all of my heart that they call me. >> reporter: prosecutors say it was an attempt to stop an alleged past affair with daniels from becoming a scandal just before the 2016 presidential election. trump has denied both the affair and making the payments. >> mr. president, did you know about the $130,000 payment to stormy daniels? >> no.

>> reporter: the former president slammed cohen and daniels on social media last week, calling them sleazebags, and today attorneys with the manhattan d.a.'s office asked the judge to hold the former president in contempt and fine him $3,000 for violating a gag order. trump also complained the judge rejected his request to skip court to travel to washington in ten days for the landmark supreme court arguments on presidential immunity. >> and he won't allow me to leave here for a half a day, go to d.c. and go before the united states supreme court because he thinks he's superior, i guess, to the supreme court. >> reporter: sources close to trump's legal team tell me that trump's lawyers will soon push for a change in venue, arguing trump can't get a fair hearing in new york. for now, trump will be at this court tomorrow for jury selection. the judge says he has no choice. norah. >> robert costa, thank you very much. tonight, the chief of staff

for the israeli military announced there will be a response to iran's unprecedented large-scale drone and missile attack over the weekend. cbs's debora patta reports on how the alliance of western and arab countries came together for the first time to defend the jewish state. >> reporter: a fiery display of iran's aerial might choreographed for maximum effect, resulting in minimal damage. more than 300 projectiles were launched. first came over 170 drones and 30 cruise missiles, all shot down before reaching israel with help from u.s. aircraft in jordan and saudi arabia that took out nearly 80 drones. then came 120 ballistic missiles. around half failed to launch or crashed in flight. only five pierced through israel's powerful air defense system, causing minor damage to a military base. israel's war cabinet favors

retaliation but differs on timing and scale while the israel defense force is on standby. [ speaking in a global language ] >> reporter: "we are weighing our steps", chief herzi halevi said. "the launch of so many missiles and drones towards israel will be responded to." the attack has triggered global calls for restraint. >> it's time to step back from the brink. >> reporter: under pressure at home, critics of prime minister benjamin netanyahu question whether he's the right person to make such a critical decision. >> so if you ask me if netanyahu is a risk to the state of israel, my opinion is yes. >> reporter: retired two-star idf general nimrod sheffer says netanyahu has a vested interest in prolonging both the war in gaza and escalating the conflict with iran in order to stay in power. >> if you're retaliating just to show that you are strong enough, it's the wrong idea. it's the wrong strategy.

>> reporter: sheffer told us israel could respond with a cyberattack, a targeted strike, or hitting an iranian proxy like hezbollah. but he believes the best course of action is not to retaliate as israel has already won by demonstrating its powerful defense capabilities. norah. >> debora patta in jerusalem, thank you. it could be another week of wild weather with severe thunderstorms sweeping across the ohio valley to the mid-atlantic. for where the threats are for the rest of the night and tomorrow, let's bring in meteorologist mike bettes. he's with our partners at the weather channel. good evening, mike. >> norah, good evening. we're keeping a very close eye on the potential for severe storms right through the evening in many locations, including right here through the mid-atlantic and areas like charleston, in places like richmond, even out toward ocean city. 70-mile-per-hour winds and also 2-inch diameter hail could be possible in these locations. we'll see storms through the night tonight racing down i-95 eventually down through the

hampton roads area before finally clearing overnight off the atlantic ocean. then we turn our attention back to the middle of the country where through tonight we have a torcon as high as 5. medium chances for tornadoes extend from the high plains all wait down through texas. the high resolution future radar shows a lot of storms popping up around dinner time, after dinner time, and right through the night tonight. that storm threat translates into the midwest, norah, as we go through the day on tuesday. >> mike bettes, thank you. there's a lot more news ahead on the "cbs overnight news."

washington. thanks for staying with us. 2023 was the hottest year on record, and last month was the hottest march ever recorded. a new report on climate change is seen by environmentalists as a wake-up call. it found rising temperatures have led to record low sea ice in the antarctic while sea levels are rising twice as fast as they were two decades ago. if things keep going as they are, they say ocean levels could rise in america by as much as seven feet by the year 2100. one of the biden administration's tactics in the battle against climate change is to jump start a new carbon capture industry. ben tracy shows us how that might work. >> so this is where carbon goes to die? >> exactly. >> reporter: this field in central arkansas will soon be a graveyard for planet-warming pollution. >> it's going into the ground, and it will stay here forever. >> reporter: barclay rogers is ceo of graphyte, a start-up that takes leftover material from timber and rice mills and locks away the carbon dioxide that

plants naturally remove from the atmosphere by turning it into bricks, wrapping them up, and burying them in the ground. >> we're taking the carbon captured by plants and keeping it out of the atmosphere for a thousand years or more. >> so you've got a lot of space here. >> yeah, absolutely. >> reporter: graphyte plans to turn this empty warehouse into the world's largest carbon removal facility, eventually removing 50,000 tons of co2 per year. that's like taking 10,000 cars off the road. american airlines is paying graphyte to offset some of the pollution from its flights. >> this brick of dead plants and trees is really going to be a solution? >> it's going to be a very big solution. >> reporter: to avoid the worth impacts of climate change, scientists say we need to stop burning fossil fuels and switch to cleaner forms of energy. but also need to remove billions of tons of carbon dioxide we've already put up into the atmosphere. >> this is not a nice to have anymore. this is a must have. >> reporter: sha shock samala

runs heirloom carbon. it opened the nation's first carbon capture plant in central california. the automated facility stacks trays of limestone 40 feet high, allowing the rock to suck carbon dioxide from the air like a sponge. in nature, that takes months. heirloom's technology does it in just days. >> carbon that might have come out of somebody's tailpipe is now being sucked down into this? >> yeah, exactly. >> reporter: heirloom says its pilot plant removes just 1,000 tons of co2 per year but plans to build facilities that capture 1,000 times more. carbon removal is often knocked for being too expensive, but given the climate crisis we now face, samala says it's an essential part of the solution. >> we need to start turning back the clock on climate change. what carbon removal offers us is the close efts thing to a time machine. >> reporter: ben tracy, cbs news, central california. the road to a greener future is facing a road block at your

local car dealer. sales of electric vehicles are plummeting although hybrids are still rolling off the showroom floor. elise preston reports. >> reporter: electric vehicle sales in the u.s. are sluggish. many shoppers say they want lower prices, batteries that last longer, and a reliable charging network. >> how long are you going to wait to be able to charge your car? >> to be honest, you don't really have a lot of choice. the infrastructure is not very good. >> reporter: nationwide, ev sales are down 7% so far this year, causing ford to delay production of the next-generation electric f-150 and a three-row suv. gm scaled down its 2024 ev sales projections by as much as half. >> what does this mean for the industry over the next five years? >> i'd say over the next five to seven years, we probably now have about 25%, 30% less potential ev buyers, and that's a big wake-up call for the industry. >> reporter: production problems caused tesla sales and stock to fall. reuters reported that the

company canceled plans to build a $25,000 entry-level family sedan. >> competitors are coming from all angles. >> reporter: one of those competitors, volvo, just set a company sales record powered by its popular ex-30 electric suv. while demand is down for evs, plug-in hybrid sales are up more than 50% with some of those vehicles qualifying for tax credits. elise preston, cbs news, los angeles. let's say you want an electric vehicle but you're in love with a particular classic car. well, if you have the money, you can now get the best of both worlds. charlie d'agata reports. >> reporter: this, ladies and gentlemen, is a 1960s e-type jaguar. and yet it is on the cutting edge of automotive technology. >> looks like the original car. it is the original car. it just got a different engine. that's it. >> reporter: steve drummond is the co-founder of electrogenic, taking classic cars of the past back to the future. >> this is our electric motor. >> reporter: by replacing the

old combustion engines with new electric motors. >> what we're now doing is we're packaging that tech into sophisticated drop-in sort of plug and play kits so that they can be installed by our agents around the world. >> reporter: including the u.s. the kits start at roughly $30,000, not including installation. drummond says not only has the technology moved on, so have the times and the market. >> the bigger growing category is the 30 to 55. they've always wanted a classic car but don't have the time or the skills to actually keep it on the road. so it's a sort of perfect marriage for that. >> reporter: of course, it's far cleaner and takes a fraction of what it costs to run a gas guzzler. but how does this electric motor compare to the real thing? >> okay. here we go. wow. >> reporter: like most electric cars, the acceleration is immediate. in fact, zero to 60 in this electric jag outperforms the

original. the motor revs through the gears like a traditional engine. >> so you still get that sporty feeling of the car? >> yeah. >> reporter: including an identical top speed of 150 miles an hour. but there is the 350 horsepower elephant in the room. for classic car purists, nothing can match the sound and smell of the real thing. the era of the real thing may be coming to an end. in tomorrow's brave new world, the electric classics may be the only road ahead. only road ahead. charlie (coi leray & metro boomin, “enjoy yourself”) new axe black vanilla? yum! ♪ he like when i get dressed, ♪ ♪ i live life with no stress, ♪ ♪ he said that's my best flex. ♪ ♪ i hopped on a big plane, said i'm doing big things, ♪ ♪ gonna bring out the champagne...yeah. ♪ ♪ baby i'm cool, yeah, you know what to do, ♪ ♪ yeah, we got nothing to lose.♪ sfx: yacht's horn

scottie scheffler dominated at this weekend's masters tournament in augusta, georgia. scheffler won by four strokes, his second masters championship in three years, and it smepts his spot as the number one golfer in the nation. also number one, the augusta course itself, considered by many to be the most beautiful golf course in the nation. it's something other courses can only aspire to, and many are trying to get there by going green. omar villafranca has the story from georgia. >> we are in what golf superintendents call the southeast sector. we're talking parts of teengs, florida, georgia, south carolina, places where golf is big business but also a lifestyle. so is the heat, and that of course can drain resources.

but data shows that more than 25% of courses in this region are now starting to use more recycled water, trying to go green to save some green. the crisp sound of a perfect tee shot in golf. a sport that players mostly love. >> oh, yeah. >> reporter: but sometimes loathe. >> why didn't you just go home? that's your home! >> reporter: getting the ball from the tee box to the green in as few strokes as possible hasn't changed much. but keeping that green playable is evolving. >> is the golf course of 30 years ago the same as the golf course now? >> no, definitely not. especially when you're talking technology. we're able to monitor how much water in the soil, in the greens, the temperatures. >> reporter: linden lindsay is the director of ago ronnie at the nelgsen club in texas, outside of dallas. >> we've almost doubled the

amount of our naturalized areas. we're increasing our usage of more organic products. but that's just us knowing that that's the right thing to do. >> reporter: the right thing for the course included introducing honeybees to help with pollination, more pinpoint watering for the foilage, and introducing drought-resistant plants. this is not going to need as much water as a rosebush. >> absolutely not. >> reporter: water is the lifeline for golf courses. but with growing droughts, more greens are relying on recycled water. nationally, recycled water makes up about 21% of all the golf course water use. that means courses like this one can stay open and green deep in the heart of texas. across the 36 holes at tpc las colinas, the courses average around 165 million gallons of water a year. >> how much reclaimed or recycled water you do use here

on the courses? >> so in the course of a year, both golf courses are 100% recycled water. >> 100%? >> 100%. that's our only source on the golf courses. >> reporter: even with the cost of recycled water roughly half the price of drinkable water, courses still keep track of every drop. >> we've actually gone from measuring the water in the air to moisture sensors in the soil, and that's proven that turf can get by with less than half of what they used to think. >> reporter: jeff bauer is part of the american society of golf course architects. he's noticing a trend on courses across the country. sustainability. >> yeah, there was a time whether those would just get piped and, you know, we just avoid the natural creek beds, the wetlands, the great tree masses. we try to route the course to avoid all of it. >> so back in the day, they would just dump water into the creeks and they were done with it or funnel it all off in there. >> yeah. >> now you're trying to catch it? >> yeah. >> reporter: with temperatures rising, the $102 billion golf

industry is adapting to the new environmental reality. >> you obviously have, you know, your tee box here. but here it's not going to be as much. and then here you just have granite. >> yeah. >> so you don't have to water these two? >> right. >> but less to water, it still looks -- it looks good and still playable. >> yeah. >> reporter: best practices have been established in all 50 states, providing blueprints for managing pests while protecting pollinators and precious water supplies. a new set of golfers are driving the trend. >> the gen z, you know, group, which seemed to be taking to golf, they ask about it at the clubhouse. so it does seem to help your public image. it helps your financial stability and sustainability. >> reporter: for greens keepers, the idea is to care for the course and give golfers a chance to make and see a few birdies. >> the basic here is a natural element, modified slightly for the playing of golf. but we're here to protect as

much nature as we can. >> that was omar villafranca reporting, and you're watching the "cbs overnight news."

more than half of the 96 prospective jurors questioned today were excused, many after saying they could not be fair and impartial. >> this is going to be a difficult task because there is virtually no one who has no opinion about donald trump. whether you voted for him or you voted against him, you still have an opinion about the criminal case against him. >> reporter: trump is accused of scheming to funnel payments to adult film star stormy daniels through his former lawyer, michael cohen. both, along with former aide hope hicks, are expected to be called as witnesses. >> i'm hoping with all of my heart that they call me. >> reporter: prosecutors say it was an attempt to stop an alleged past affair with daniels from becoming a scandal just before the 2016 presidential election. trump has denied both the affair and making the payments. >> mr. president, did you know about the $130,000 payment to stormy daniels? >> no.

>> reporter: the former president slammed cohen and daniels on social media last week, calling them sleazebags, and today attorneys with the manhattan d.a.'s office asked the judge to hold the former president in contempt and fine him $3,000 for violating a gag order. trump also complained the judge rejected his request to skip court to travel to washington in ten days for the landmark supreme court arguments on presidential immunity. >> and he won't allow me to leave here for a half a day, go to d.c. and go before the united states supreme court because he thinks he's superior, i guess, to the supreme court. >> reporter: sources close to trump's legal team tell me that trump's lawyers will soon push for a change in venue, arguing trump can't get a fair hearing in new york. for now, trump will be at this court tomorrow for jury selection. the judge says he has no choice. norah. >> robert costa, thank you very much. tonight, the chief of staff

retaliation but differs on timing and scale while the israel defense force is on standby. [ speaking in a global language ] >> reporter: "we are weighing our steps," idf chief herzi halevi said. "the launch of so many missiles and drones towards israel will be responded to." the attack has triggered global calls for restraint. >> it's time to step back from the brink. >> reporter: under pressure at home, critics of prime minister benjamin netanyahu question whether he's the right person to make such a critical decision. >> so if you ask me if netanyahu is a risk to the state of israel, my opinion is yes. >> reporter: retired two-star idf general nimrod sheffer says netanyahu has a vested interest in prolonging both the war in gaza and escalating the conflict with iran in order to stay in power. >> if you're retaliating just to show that you are strong enough, it's the wrong idea. it's the wrong strategy.

>> reporter: sheffer told us israel could respond with a cyberattack, a targeted strike, or hitting an iranian proxy like hezbollah. but he believes the best course of action is not to retaliate as israel has already won by demonstrating its powerful defense capabilities. norah. >> debora patta in jerusalem, thank you. it could be another week of wild weather with severe thunderstorms sweeping across the ohio valley to the mid-atlantic. for where the threats are for the rest of the night and tomorrow, let's bring in meteorologist mike bettes. he's with our partners at the weather channel. good evening, mike. >> norah, good evening. we're keeping a very close eye on the potential for severe storms right through the evening in many locations, including right here through the mid-atlantic and areas like charleston, in places like richmond, even out toward ocean city. 70-mile-per-hour winds and also 2-inch-diameter hail could be possible in these locations. we'll see storms through the night tonight racing down i-95, eventually down through the

hampton roads area before finally clearing overnight off the atlantic ocean. then we turn our attention back to the middle of the country where through tonight we have a torcon as high as 5. medium chances for tornadoes extend from the high plains all the way down through texas. the high-resolution future radar shows a lot of storms popping up around dinnertime, after dinnertime, and right through the night tonight. that storm threat translates into the midwest, norah, as we go through the day on tuesday. >> mike bettes, thank you. there's a lot more news ahead on the "cbs overnight news."

conflict from spreading beyond what it already has. >> reporter: cbs news has learned that during a phone call saturday night, president biden urged prime minister netanyahu to think carefully and strategically about the risks of escalation and said that if the idf launched a reprisal strike on iran, the u.s. would not participate. biden issued this warning to iran just one day before the strikes. >> don't. >> reporter: tehran went ahead anyway. >> does that signal to iran that it can defy the u.s. without facing any consequences? >> if i'm sitting in tehran and i'm taking a look at what just happened on saturday night, i don't think i'd be betting that the united states is not willing to get engaged here and help defend israel. >> reporter: house speaker mike johnson says the house would soon vote on aid for israel in light of the iranian attack. tonight the white house says it opposes any measure that focuses solely on israel as it pushes
