a nice moment here, the president sharing a hug with his granddaughter after watching her graduate from penn. we'll see you tomorrow. "cnn news central" starts right now.

more setbacks for russia as ukraine makes strides on the battlefield, possibly downing four russian jets, killing two russian commanders and gaining ground all as kyiv gdpeers up fr a counteroffensive. some service members stationed at north carolina's camp lejeune in the '70s and '80s were exposed to a chemical called tce and could lead to a massive lehigher risk of parkinson's disease. and aaa is warning of a blockbuster season. tens of millions on the roads and in the skies as well. we're following all of these stories all coming in here to cnn news central. we begin the hour with the war in ukraine.

today ukrainian president volodymyr zelenskyy was in the united kingdom enlisting serious financial and military support from the british prime minister. he's been meeting with key nato leaders ahead of ukraine's counteroffensive. he says his country needs a little bit more time to prepare for that major assault. meantime back on the battlefield, russian troops are facing some real setbacks. several russian aircraft have been shot down and ukrainians recaptured more territory in bakhmut, the site of a brutal months-long battle. let's take you live to ukraine and cnn's sam kiley. sam, it sounds like president zelenskyy is leaving western europe with some serious advantages and assurances. >> reporter: yeah. a shopping trolley full of goodies that are very, very important for the ukrainians, particularly if, as expected, they go ahead with this summer offensive, victor. so from the germans he got

some -- close to $3 billion worth of equipment, including tanks, armored personnel carrier, anti-aircraft equipment. from the british he got long range attack drones, more ammunition, more air defenses. what he didn't get which is what he's been asking for have been f-16s. it seems that the ukrainians have focused on their desires to get f-16 rather than a number of other potential european aircraft. that is the kind of ultimate work horse of the u.s. air force that they would like to see deployed here. it's a standard nato aircraft. all the weapons will work with it and they really, really desperately say that they need it. so far they have also got storm shadow cruise missiles and french development given by the british all intended to give them the strategic capability to go after the russian forces not just on the front line but behind the lines inside the territory of ukraine but still

deeper in. now, the reference these reported downing of four aircraft, helicopters and jets inside russian territory is a murky situation indeed. we don't know, for example, whether it was ukrainians that shot them down or whether it was an own goal by russian air defenses because it's very close to the border there. but this all adds up to sort of chaos and friction, nervousness and anxiety in the ranks of russian forces, which of course has been reinforced now by successful offensives being conducted on two flanks around the town of bakhmut where the ukrainians have had some success in a counteroffensive after many, many months of slow, grinding losses and loss of territory, very, very slow losses of territory. they're able to capture it rapidly. that is all sending a message to russian forces on the ground to make them anxious about what the ukrainians are going to throw at

them next, victor. >> a stunning example of russian incompetence on the battlefield it's turned out to be in bakhmut. thank you so much for that. we want to zero in on what's happening in bakhmut with kylie atwood who's at the state department. the mercenary group wagner has been spearheading the effort there and their leader reportedly made an offer to ukrainian forces back in january that he would give up russian troop positions? he's denying that now, but still a stunning revelation. >> reporter: yeah, quite stunning indeed, boris. this is according to "washington post" reporting from leaked documents. according to these documents, as you said, this happened in late january. the head of that private russian military group that is fighting on behalf of russia alongside the russian military in ukraine reached out to commanders in ukraine and offered to them that

if they were willing to withdraw some ukrainian troops from around the area of bakhmut that he would share with them russian military positions. now, we don't know exactly what positions he was going to share, what troop movements on the russian side he is privy to. but according to two ukrainian sources who talked to "the washington post" and were familiar with this incident, there was no agreement that was struck because, of course, they were skeptical of the offer that was offered. they didn't know exactly what he could deliver on. as you said, today he is coming out denying this, suggesting that this could have been leaked by his enemies. but critically we're also hearing from the kremlin. the kremlin spokesperson saying that they don't have the authority to speak to these reports and also saying, quote, it looks like another hoax. but what we're watching for here, boris, is any actual response from the kremlin.

we know that putin has a close relationship with him but if this is made without knowledge of the kremlin that could result in quite a sticky situation. so we'll watch to see how this plays out. this obviously happened in late january so there's been a lot of time since then. so there's a lot to watch after this report. boris. >> yeah, the rift between him and the russian ministry of defense a surprise. kylie atwood, thanks so much. jim. today u.s. officials confirmed the southern border has yet to see the rush of migrants that many border communities had expected when title 42 expired last week. the quick expulsion policy from the pandemic period lapsed on thursday when the nationwide public emergency ended. they have actually seen a 50% drop of encounters with undocumented people compared to the numbers right before title 42 ended. polo sandoval is down in el

paso, texas. polo, i wonder what officials there attribute this to, this 50% drop rather than the surge many had been expecting? >> reporter: well, the messaging from the biden administration is what some people think of here, it was a deterrent. in terms of the main headline on the ground, it's that these apprehensions that you noted are down, significantly down. but the system itself, it is still strained. all you have to do is walk through this particular block appeared i say this one because it isn't really widespread. what we saw overnight were perhaps dozens of recently released migrants. these are people who had been processed by federal authorities. now they wait here in a state of limbo. most of the people that i've seen out here on the sidewalk are adults, single adults, male and female. perhaps one family that you might be able to see on my left, but a bulk of the families have been able to shelter indoors. but it really speaks to the

bigger issue which is those folks that are processed and then released, these are people in a state of limbo because they are waiting to secure passage to major american cities. i keep hearing over and over again that denver is going to be their next stop. most of the folks are lingering here waiting for either friends or family that are still in detention to be released and then together they can proceed on to their final sdestination. so that is why you'll still see some asylum seekers, some migrants, here in el paso. but the numbers that we've seen the last several days do not compare about this time last week where you saw people throughout the downtown area. so the key metric to watch is the rate of release at which dhs processes them in the process they're going through under title 8 and those that are released into the united states will likely endi up here before they head to cities like denver

and as you and i know new york city as well. >> and here in washington, d.c. polo sandoval, thanks so much. let's turn to priscilla alvarez. priscilla, you've been covering this for ages, right? so the simple question is why not the surge that many expected? and i suppose the attached question is will that last? >> when i talk to sources about this, the first thing they say is we're looking at what migrants are thinking and doing on the northern border of mexico. they're also assessing this situation, right? there was a shift in policy back to decades-old protocols. that means more legal consequences. so they're also trying to sort out do we cross now? can we use an app to set up an appointment. now, what happens when there is a shift is that desperation still grows. so if they don't see that they can use one of the tools that the administration has put out to legally my digmigrate, they y to cross so that is what administration officials are watching. they held a briefing moments ago where they said it was very

fluid still. we were talking about 10,000 daily encounters at the beginning of last week. over the weekend there were just under 5,000. that's a considerable difference. it gives them time to breathe and ten to set preparations in place. for example, capacity, which has already been under strain. but it was very clear top homeland security official said he cannot draw any firm conclusion. they're still very much watching this and there is anxiety that it could change in the days to come. of course this is not just a border story or border issue for this white house. it is also an issue in the interior of the united states. you heard it there from polo. migrants want to go to cities across the u.s. they always have. but if there's more crossings, there's more people going to different cities as they go through their immigration court process. so we heard this morning from the denver mayor who was cautiously optimistic but still says he has concerns for the white house. take a listen. >> let me also share with you that five of us mayors,

including mayor adams of new york, d.c., new york, chicago and denver have joined together in a letter to the white house that arrives today requesting a meeting with the president so we can sit and be very specific with him on what we need to help our cities deal with this influx of migrants and as he tries to communicate with congress about what they need to do to step up to the responsibility of federal government on this issue. >> so clear there that the cities are still very much in need of federal resources as they themselves prepare to take on more arrivals. all of this still a developing story. >> and you have to see whether the new standards the biden administration instituted, whether those affect the next step, right, as folks come across.alvarez, thanks so much. on sunday white house officials expressed optimism about making progress on raising the debt limit and avoiding an economic catastrophe. today kevin mccarthy is downplaying the status of these negotiations saying that the two sides are still far apart.

congressional leaders are expected at the white house again tomorrow for more talks. that is just one day before the president leaves for asia and it is just a few weeks before the u.s. could default on its debt june 1st. manu raju is on capitol hill for us. manu, who should we believe here? should we be optimistic or pessimistic about where things stand? >> reporter: pessimistic at the moment given the tight time frame and significant hurdles that are ahead. both on the policy and the process. the policy, the two sides simply don't have an agreement yet. both sides report there has been some progress in the negotiations. but negotiations did not start in earnest. last week was when they actually began and they have only until the beginning of june to avoid a debt default. remember, the white house did not want negotiations at all on the debt limit. they said congress needs to raise it without any conditions to avoid debt default. that's not the view of kevin mccarthy.

the speaker instead pushing for significant spending cuts. they attached those spending cuts to a plan that passed the republican-led house narrowly a few weeks ago. now they're trying to figure out some sort of resolution in the middle. but can they get there? it remains unclear. this morning kevin mccarthy made clear that he believes there's a long way to go. >> i still think we're far apart. it just seems they want to look like they're in a meeting but they're not talking about anything serious. in the meantime, we just watched the cbo come out and say we're $100 million further in debt. it's more like they want to default than a deal. >> so they're still talking about items like putting a cap on domestic discretionary spending, imposing work requirements on certain social safety net programs, changing how energy projects are permitted to make them happen on a quicker basis.

some of those matters are incredibly difficult to work through which raises the concern about whether they can get there in time. at the white house tomorrow we expect president biden to meet with congressional leaders. staff level talks have occurred since last week, but can they get to the point where they can actually agree on an outline draft, move it through the house and the senate all before the prospects of default as early as june 1st, all still major questions as congress tries to avoid the first debt default and trying to raise the $31.4 trillion debt limit by early june. >> they have to do this. manu, thank you so much, live for us from capitol hill. boris. still ahead, preparing for the summer surge. why aaa says the new travel season is about to be off the charts. and what you can do to beat the crowds. plus, if you're putting that next trip on your credit card, you certainly won't be alone. why credit card debt is now smashing records. and a swift response. taylor swift stopping mid-song to tell someone in the crowd,

buckle up for a very busy summer travel season. aaa is now forecasting near pre-pandemic levels of people hitting the road and flying for the upcoming memorial day weekend. cnn's pete muntean joins us now live to preview the madness. pete, memorial day obviously the unofficial start of summer. what do the numbers show in terms of predictions? >> two weeks out, boris, is when memorial day officially is. although aaa says the rush really begins the thursday before. so ten days out if you've not made your plans just yet. the big thing to underscore here is that the numbers may exceed pre-pandemic levels in some spots and it's going to be a huge kickoff to what will be a very big summer travel season, maybe even bigger than what we

see on memorial day weekend itself. aaa predicts 37 million of those 42 million people will travel by car. that number up about 1% from what we saw last year. really only off 1% from pre-pandemic figures. really helped by that is the fact that gas priceser lower. it's $3.54 right now. it was $4.47 this time last year. the worst times to travel according to aaa, boris, 3:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. on the friday before memorial day. then everybody coming back all at once, noon to 3:00 p.m. on monday. but we also have to talk about flying. those numbers are going to be up above pre-pandemic levels. aaa anticipates up by about 11% compared to the same period over 2019. the big tip, try and book the

first flight out. that is the way to minimize delays and cancellations and get you to where you need to go on this unofficial start of the summer travel rush, boris. >> very good advice from pete muntean as he levitates over the highway. thanks so much, pete, appreciate you. jim. well, americans are increasingly turning to credit cards to pay for just about everything, even more than usual. a new report out today shows that debt historically high. the federal reserve says credit card balances are approaching $1 trillion, sitting at $986 billion in the first quarter of this year. matt egan joins us now to crunch the numbers. matt, that's a big number. there's a really high interest rates folks have to pay on that debt. what is the fed saying about this. >> reporter: well, jim, we are seeing that americans continue to borrow even as the cost of borrowing has spiked. this report found that consumers added $148 billion of debt just

in the first three months of this year alone. that's lifting total consumer debt to just over $17 trillion. that is a fresh record high. and what's interesting is a lot of this debt has been piled on in just the last few years. the new york fed report found that consumer debt since the end of 2019 is up by nearly $3 trillion. now, we know that in 2020 the fed slashed interest rates to basically zero to try to get people to borrow. now they have reversed course. they're spiking interest rates to discourage borrowing and try to put out this inflation fire. and yet we are seeing that borrowing is up pretty much across the board. the new york fed report found over the last 12 months mortgage debt is up by about a trillion dollars. credit cards, all of them rising. this shows a lot of demand for services, including travel like pete was just talking about, and, two, some people have run

out of savings and they need to borrow. >> their savings went up, especially with some of the covid relief during the pandemic here. but the thing of course about interest rates on credit card debt, that never went to zero or anything close to it. they're well above the fed funds rate. how high are those credit card rates now in the midst of this? >> reporter: they are very high. at last check 20.3% is the average credit card rate according to bankrate.com. that is the highest since they started tracking in 1985. that is very painful. let me show you what that means. say you borrowed $2,000 to go to disney world. if you're just making the minimum payments, at current credit card rates, it would take you more than 15 years to pay off that debt and during that time you would accrue almost $3,000 in interest. so there is never a good time to just make minimum payments, let alone have a credit card balance. but this might be the worst time. and i think one of the questions here is when are we going to

start to see signs of stress in consumer financial health? and i think the good news is that at a high level people are still keeping up with their bills according to this new york fed report, but they are starting to see some sort of cracks emerge. the flow of current debt moving into delinquency, that has started to tick up. this is an interesting tidbit. they found that auto loan delinquencies for young borrowers, those under 40, have surpassed pre-covid levels. we need to keep an eye on this especially as borrowing costs remain high. >> and if you see any weakness in the job market as well. matt, thanks for covering. concerns growing over the health of thousands of service members after a new study found marines who were stationed at camp lejeune had a significantly higher risk of parkinson's disease than those who did not serve at the military base. we'll take a look at the chemical behind the problem. and north carolina's governor vetoing a bill that

a new study published today shows that veterans who were stationed at north carolina's camp lejeune may have a 70% higher risk for developing parkinson's disease. researchers looked at the health records of service members who were assigned to the base

between the years of 1953 and 1987. that is the time when the water at the base was known to be contaminated with a chemical called tce. the veterans and family members could now be eligible for benefits. cnn's senior medical correspondent elizabeth cohen is with us now. elizabeth, toxic exposure of service members has obviously been an ongoing issue for decades now. what did researchers learn in this case? >> well, researchers were looking at exposure, the marines exposed at camp lejeune to a chemical used in all sorts of manufacturing processes. it was in pretty high levels, very high levels in the water for decades at camp lejeune. and so what they did is they did something very interesting. they compared the rates of parkinson's disease for marines who were there at a certain period of time to those who are -- marines who were at camp pendleton, so all marines just in two different places.

they found the risk of parkinson's was increased by 70% among the marines at camp lejeune. and the concerns really -- for this study, this study was just about parkinson's disease but there are also concerns about links between this chemical and things like miscarriages and cancer. >> it's stunning, 70%. as you said, so many other conditions they're fearful may be linked to this. we'll keep an eye on this story, elizabeth. thank you. boris. now to a battle over abortion rights brewing in north carolina. in front of a crowd of supporters this weekend, the state's democratic governor, roy cooper, vetoed a controversial bill that would ban most abortions after 12 weeks. the bill's fate is now back in the hands of the state legislature where a republican super majority could override that veto. diane gallagher is tracking this story for us live from charlotte, north carolina. diane, governor cooper is urging certain republican lawmakers to essentially back off of overriding his veto. what comes next?

>> boris, next is that expected override vote in both the house and the senate. but that's the key. you mentioned that governor cooper has been zeroing in on specific republicans, and that's because of the margins here in north carolina. republicans have the exact number of members to make up that super majority. what that means is they can override the veto. but what it also means is that if just one republican either defects or is even absent, that the veto would be sustained. effectively killing this bill. and that is why the governor has essentially traveled across the state. this sort of pressure campaign on those four republicans that he has zeroed in on. two of them have pushed back. senator michael lee and representative john bradford saying they don't feel that their past positions are in conflict with this bill. but there are two others that most politicos here in north

carolina and constituents as well are watching very closely. one of those is representative ted davis. he is the only republican in the house who did not vote for that abortion bill when it was rammed through less than 48 hours after it was introduced about a week and a half ago. he has told cnn he has no comment on this pressure campaign or how he will vote. and representative trisha who switched parties from democrat to republican just last month. she did vote for this bill just about a week and a half ago, but she also is a sponsor on a bill from earlier this session that would have codified roe and she has been a major proponent for abortion access for more than a decade here in north carolina. the governor, again, is honing in on that and asking constituents to make their voices heard. >> now we need people all over this state to learn how bad this bill is. and maybe it will be a friend, a

family member, a minister or even a doctor of one of these republican legislators who convinces them to step up and do the right thing. >> reporter: now, republican leaders have said that they believe that they can swiftly override this veto. boris, they say that it could happen as early as this week, potentially even beginning the process tomorrow. republicans call this bill a compromise saying that they feel it is mainstream, but democrats, medical associations, abortion advocates here in north carolina, point to the details in the bill saying that it creates new requirements and hurdles for people who are seeking abortions in that first trimester, including medication abortions, and also could add regulations that could make it difficult for abortion clinics that currently exist here to continue operating under this law. >> north carolina now one of

many states where this rift over abortion law specifically among republican lawmakers is front and center. diane gallagher from charlotte, thank you so much. jim. turkey's hotly contested presidential election is now heading to a runoff. why the outcome could be critical for the u.s., also for nato. and a kayaker's relaxing fishing trip interrupted by a giant shark. it was all caught on camera. we'll see more just ahead.

his 20-year rule of the country. nearly all the ballots have been counted. no candidate hit the 50% threshold needed to win outright and avoid a runoff. state-run news reports that the president leads with just over 49% of the vote while the leader of the opposition just under 45% of the vote. i guess the big question now is where do the votes of the third-party candidate, who got close to 5%, go? i imagine there are spirited negotiations under way. >> reporter: and this is exactly, jim, what we have heard from him. he spoke a short time ago with our colleague, becky anderson, saying that he is in consultation with the rest of his four-party coalition to decide where they're going. it's quite complicated. this is an ultra nationalist who was running as a presidential candidate in this election and his electorate just over 5% of the vote. it's a combination of

nationalists who are not happy with president erdogan's alliance and then you've got on the other hand some of these protest voters who were not happy with the choice of candidate that the opposition went with. so we'll have to wait and see what happens, whether they're going to follow whatever this presidential candidate decides in the coming two weeks or are they going to go their own way and decide to vote for either of those candidates in the next round of wroegt. and then you've also got the undecided voters, jim. we'll have to see if there's any major changes, but we have to look at president erdogan's performance here, jim. going into these elections, everyone knew this was going to be a tight race but he has divide expectations. this is not a victory that the president is used to but it certainly is a win.

ahead of the elections, polls had the opposition kemal kilicdaroglu with a slight lead and now you look at it and it's the other way around where president erdogan, despite all the criticism, despite the fact that his ratings have been on a downward trajectory, he has managed to gather around 50% of the vote. a real reflection of the state polarization in this country. >> after a devastating earthquake there. there were machinations from both sides around this election questioning whether there was interference, questioning some of the counting, et cetera. are we certain that the declared winner will accept the results? >> reporter: we've heard from both sides saying that they will accept the results. president erdogan several times ahead of this election being asked if he did lose this election whether he would accept the results and he said that he believes in the democratic process, saying that he will accept the results. and we've also heard, jim, from

international observers saying that the actual voting process itself appears to be fair. it is what the lead-up to these elections is. it's the campaigning that they say is not fair and free in this country where president erdogan and his party do have the advantage with the control of the state institutions, with so many opposition figures, political parties, and journalists behind bars in this country. but when it comes to the actual voting and you hear this not just from observers, jim, also from turks, they tell you that is the one place where they believe turkish democracy is still alive. >> questions about restrictions on twitter in advance of this as well. thanks very much. brianna. so here's a look at some of the other headlines that we are following this hour. the four university of idaho seniors who were stabbed to death in their off-campus home last year were honored in the school's graduation ceremonies over the weekend. the parents of all four victims

nba superstar ja morant is in trouble once again. the memphis grizzlies have now suspended him from all team activities after another incident involving a gun and social media. an instagram live video over the

weekend appears to show him in a car flashing a firearm. cnn has reached out to morant's repres representative, the grizzlies and the nba. in march he was suspended eight games after another social media incident, that time a video, again on social media, showing him at a nightclub flashing a gun. joining us now is bomani jones, host of "the right time with bomani jones." you've spoken out with your concerns about ja morant's mental health. you say that we're watching someone self-destruct. why? >> well, i mean obviously everything we've seen him do has been trouble for no actual benefit. the idea of pulling out these guns, things that look like guns, whatever they may be, to put that out for public consumption, the only thing that you can get from that is trouble. he seems to be willingly walking into these things. what i can't help but wonder from where i am is whether the

pressure that comes from being 23 years old and having the burdens that he has that come along with his job that everybody else would love to have, but he's the only one that has to live with the consequences that come from it, i worry more about how he's doing than anything else. hopping up on some hypermoral kick about him having a gun gets to our american confusion about guns. in the short run and how it affects him, i just worry that he keeps doing things that don't hurt anybody but himself as of now. >> i'm curious to get your perspective on the potential for there being a double standard. and i don't mean to defend his actions in any way. but what we've seen him do on social media is not all that media from what we've seen certain lawmakers do in political ads brandishing weapons, trying to score political points. do you see a double standard here? >> well, if you're going to identify a double standard there, it would be that if the people that support those folks with the ar-15s in their family pictures are also the people that didn't condemn ja morant.

what i do think in our society we have, which is something that people need to kind of stop and think about, which is things that can get you fired are also things that can get you elected. and so those people who put those christmas cards out and everything if you're a politician, you're just banking on a popularity contest. if enough people like it and they think you're cool, they'll vote you into office. chances are they have been voting you in, in a district that has been narrowed. jaw mo morant works for a corporation. how people in the mass want to handle it, there are probably some people being inconsistent about it. some people like me think that both sides on that end look ridiculous. >> you spoke about the corporation that morant works for. he's seen as the bright future superstar for the nba. he's already met with adam silver. they had a candid conversation earlier in the spring. where does the nba go now?

how do they handle this? >> i would imagine that a hammer is coming when you get caught doing the exact same thing they already came down on you for and honestly fairly delicately the first go-around. i expect the league will do something fairly significant in terms of punishment. i'm not exactly sure how the bylaws work on this thing. but i think there is something to neat when we start looking at this and our first question is just about what the punishment is, i'm less concerned about what the punishment is from the league than my question about the league and the grizzlies about what are you going to do to help this dude? it appears that he needs some measure of help. throwing out punishment is something you do because the public gets off on that. is that really going to be the thing that's helpful? it might be. he might be a person that needs negative reinforcement, but i think there needs to be an identification that there's a larger problem at play, much larger than they seem to think it was when they tried to tell us he spent a weekend somewhere and came back and he was all good because he learned how to do breathing exercises.

that was a sign to me that none of the parties involved were actually taking that seriously. if he could have fixed it in three days, we wouldn't have been talking about it in the first place. >> it seems like the issues are much more deep than just spending a few days at a florida retreat and trying to piece his life together there. thank you so much for the perspective, we appreciate you joining us this afternoon. >> thank you. >> brianna. success on the battlefield. ukraine may be gaining the upper hand in the fight for bakhmut. what the battle could mean ahead of this much-anticipated counteroffensive. you're watching "cnn news central." it's neutrogena® rapid wrinkle repairir® smooths s the look of fine lines in 1-week, deep wrinkles in 4. so you can kiss wrinkles goodbye! neutrogena®
