anything, that is why i'm so concerned. >> default must be taken off the table. >> i predict you will see things that you don't even believe, the level of corruption. >> the fbi moved quickly to investigate the allegations of connections of collusion between the trump campaign and russia and that they did so by ignoring a lot of evidence. >> i think the party has developed a culture of losing. >> governor desantis is the mos electable most conservative who can win the general election and govern effectively. live from london, this is "cnn newsroom" with max foster and bianca nobilo. >> it is tuesday, may 16, 4:00 a.m. in washington where in the coming hours u.s. president biden will meet with top

congressional leaders at the white house to once again try to increase an increase in the u.s. debt ceiling. a deal has to be reached by june 1 to avoid defaulting. but with the current stalemate americans are starting to get nervous. >> i get calls about the debt ceiling now more so than i've gotten in five months that i've been in office. so people are really worried because they are not hearing or seeing progress. so yeah, people are starting to understand the catastrophic consequences that would exist if we would default. >> treasury secretary janet yellen has also warned officials the u.s. treasury won't be able to satisfy the government's obligations come june unless a deal is made. fears of a default have made their way to wall street where markets could receive a major blow if one happens. here is a look at the u.s. futures. currently down on the s&p and dow but up slightly on the

nasdaq. kevin mccarthy is not optimistic heading into today's meeting telling reporters they are nowhere near a deal. manu raju has more from washington. >> reporter: speaker kevin mccarthy has been pessimistic as talks have occurred on the staff level the past week to try to avoid the nation's first ever debt defaults. the white house has resisted calling for the national debt limit which is more than $31 trillion to be raised without any conditions whatsoever to pr not being able to pail its bills. the house did pass a bill that included a host of priorities that democrats say is dead on arrival. so there is not much time left. in order to get a deal by that june 1 potential deadline to avoid the default, default could occur in the first couple week of june according to the

treasury department or as soon as june 1. but he spoke to reporters on monday, and mccarthy made clear there is a long way to go. >> the way the president has ignored it for 100 days and he still hasn't taken it serious. we only have so many days left in session to deal with this. >> so you would like bilateral talks without -- >> that has been from the very first day. when i went to meet with the president, it was the president and i. the president comes to an agreement, democrats and the senate will vote for it, the house will pass it if we all are in agreement. >> reporter: even if they were to get some sort of deal, it would take some time to put it on paper, to draft it into legislative text, to go through the house and senate. all that takes a significant amount of time which is raising a lot of concerns about whether or not they will actually be able to get there. they are discussing measures like potential new changes to

permitting land provisions to expedite energy projects that are green lighted by the federal government. whether that is included as part of the package remains to be seen. they are also talking about capping discretionary spending. that is something the republicans have pushed for long term caps on discretionary spending, that is something the white house has pushed back on. can they find a middle ground on that issue. also discussion about pulling back on already enacted covid aid as part of the debt limit. but can they sell the wider republican and democratic caucuses in the house and senate, all major questions as debt default looms over washington. manu raju, cnn, capitol hill. special counsel appointed during the trump administration has released his findings about the trump/russia probe. john durham said the agency suffered from confirmation bias and concluded the fbi should never have launched a full blown

investigation into connections between trump's 2016 campaign and russia. now durham is being invited by the republican house judiciary chairman to testify about the report. evan perez has the details from washington. >> reporter: special counsel john durham released his final report casting doubt about the fbi's decision to launch a full investigation into connections between donald trump's campaign and russia during the 2016 election. the 300 plus page report sharply criticized the fbi and justice department throughout but does not recommend any new charges against anyone. or any wholesale changes to the way politically sensitive investigations are being handled. the report falls well short of expectations that were set by former president trump and his allies who have long claimed that it would proves fo the fbi investigation was a political witch hunt. but donald trump posted that it

was evidence of a scam. durham's report finds many mistakes by the fbi including what he calls confirmation bias and concludes that the fbi discounted or willfully ignored material information that did not support the narrative a collusive relationship between trump and russia. republicans in congress are calling for durham to come up to the capitol for a hearing to discuss more about his investigation. evan perez, cnn, washington. >> fbi director sent a note to the workforce which read while the failures occurred years ago, the report reminds us why we've instituted so many reforms to solidify the importance of doing the right thing in the right way every time. and former deputy director andrew mccabe said he disagreed with the report's findings and called the probe a political errand on trump's behalf. >> we've known for over a years

that the russians have been attackinging us in cyberspace, t they had turned the attacks on the democratic national committee and stolen a large amount of information from the dm dnc. and we knew they went on to use that information to hurt hillary clinton's campaign by releasing it on the eve of her convention. and then in july at the end of july, we learned that months earlier before that information was released, a member of the trump campaign, george papadopoulous, told a representative of a friendly foreign government, a trusted friendly foreign government, that they had been offered exactly that assistance by the russians. so we knew how the russians used it and then we learned that the russians offered to do exactly what they had done before they

did it to the trump campaign. so with that information, actual information, we opened a full investigation. and everyone who has looked at what we did other than john durham determined that decision was absolutely appropriate. district attorney in fulton county, georgia is asking a judge to reject donald trump's latest effort to block her investigation. fani willis is looking into the former president's efforts to overturn the 2020 election in georgia. trump wants the evidence and fints final report from the grand jury thrown out. sara murray has the details. >> reporter: the district attorney does not want to see the grand jury investigation and final report thrown out, she has told the judge that he should dismiss donald trump's motion, that he should not hold a hearing on the matter and he should not allow another judge to hear the trump team's arguments which is something the trump team has asked for. she basically said there is no evidence that the investigative special grand jury process was tainted, there was no evidence

of misconduct on her behalf because they also wanted her removed as a prosecutor. and she took issue with the fact that the trump team is coming at this so late in the game. she says by his own estimation, mr. trump has been at the center of an investigation for over two years but only now is he moving for the prosecutor's disqualification. so a very sharp rebuttal from fani willis today against the trump team's argument. >> willis says she expects to make an announcement on possible charges between july and september. two staff members were injured when a man struck them with a metal baseball bat. representative gerry connolly ze said it happened at his district hospital in northern virginia. the suspected attacker was arrested. cnn has learned before the assault the man may have been involved in another incident that was caught on video. we warn you, the footage can be hard to watch.

you can see here a woman screaming as she was chased by the man with the baseball bat. neighbors say it was the same person who was arrested on the lawmaker's staff. jessica schneider has more. >> reporter: the suspect's father telling us that the suspect suffers from schizophrenia and has not taken his medication in three months. and the suspect was arrested for assaulting a law enforcement officer last year but the charges were ultimately dropped. and now the suspect is being held without bond on two charges. police have identified the suspect as 49-year-old juwan tran pham. he entered this district officer for gerry connolly just before 11:00 a.m. and assaulted two staffers with a metal bat. he hit one in the aid and attacked an intern, her first day on the job. both were taken to the hospital

with nonlife-threatening inj injuries. the congressman was not here. he was actually at a ribbon cutting event. but he says the suspect came in with an out of control rage, he shattered grass in a conference room and also broke computers. so now the u.s. capitol police are working with the fairfax city police, they have launched a joint investigation here, but this attack comes as the u.s. capitol police chief has warned about the uptick in threats against members of congress as well as their staff saying that in the last six years, the threat has gone up 400%. jessica sthicheider, cnn, fairf. in north carolina republican controlled legislature is attempting to overwrite the democrat governor veto of a ban of post abortions after 12 weeks. a vote will be later today. and the statehouse is planning to take up the bill after the

senate vote. in each chamber three fifths must vote to override the veto and they believe that they have enough votes. at least three people are dead and six others woundeded after a mass shooting in new mexico. the gunman was also killed. the 18-year-old opened fire in a residential area monday morning. they say he shot randomly at police, houses and cars. the gunman used three different weapons including an ar-style rifle before he was killed by police. two of the officers were amongst those hurt. so far police haven't identified the shooter or any of the victims. >> we are actively looking at several blocks of this crime scene to determine what actually happened. while we were responding because of the numerous phone calls that we did receive, we are trying to gather a lot of information that came in very rapidly to this

situation. candle lit vigil was held at a church monday night for the victims and their families. this hour we are following developments in ukraine where a top commander says the country's air defense forces intercepted 18 missiles of various types across the country overnight. in kyiv, one official says it was the target of an exceptional and complex air assault involving drones and cruise missiles. local officials say air defenses intercepted the vast majority of the incoming strikes but falling debris is being reported across several districts. wagner group chief is denying a report that says he offered to give ukraine information on russian troop positions in exchange for kyiv pulling back its forces from thor area ash bakhmut. the story was based on documents leaked on social media in april

that further alleges that he made the offer to ukrainian military intelligence officers during a meeting in an unspecified african country. he has speculated the story might have been planted by his enemies. for more, we're joined by claire sebastian. >> this was a huge night mainly for ukrainian air defenses which according to the commander who came out himself with this news shot down all 18 of these missiles. and crucially included hypersonic missiles. previously even just a few months ago ukraine was saying that they had nothing that could intercept the missiles. and then a week ago we heard that they used a patriot battery to intercept one of them. and we don't know if that is the case, if the patriots were used, but it clearly shows that the ukrainian air defenses are

becoming more effective. ukrainian defense minister called this an unbelievable success for the ukrainian air forces. and this is likely to change the calculus for russia. they don't want to waste missiles if they will get shot down especially one previously thought to be unstoppable. especially going into an upcoming counteroffensive. >> interesting to see how they have used those defenses so effectively. on the wagner chief, explain in layman's terms what the deal was that he was alleged to have made with ukrainians. >> key thing to know is that certainly according to the sources speaking to the "washington post," we haven't independently confirmed this, there was no deal made. they didn't take him seriously and they didn't make a deal with him. but he was -- he has denied this, but the report was that he was trying to make a deal where they would give up some ground in bakhmut and he would give up

information on positions of the russian armed forces. if it is true, it smacks of an element of sabotage which goes a step further than the disruption and in-fighting that we've seen so far from him. so we don't know what the truth is here, but it certainly doesn't present an image of coordination and efficiency. >> definitely not. clare, thank you. at least six people have reportedly died after a fire erupted inside a loss still in wellington. firefighters rushed to the scene shortly after midnight local time and were able to evacuate 52 people. five others taken to hospital. but dozens more remain unaccounted for. the cause of the blaze remains unknown. still ahead, turkey's president is predicting victory in a runoff later this month. plus u.s. officials respond to the sentencing of a 78-year-old american citizen in china on espionage charges.

turkish president erdogan is predicting victory in a runoff election later this month. he faired better than expected in sunday's vote as he looks to extend his 20 years in office. his main opponent is vowing to keep fighting and a far right candidate has emerged as a possible kingmaker. jomana karedsheh reports. >> reporter: supporters of recep tayyip erdogan took to the streets of istanbul in s solidarity of their leader. and it soon turned into a celebration for his diehard supporters, there is one man, one cause and one turkey. that of recep tayyip erdogan. and in the early hours of monday morning, erdogan doing what he does best, rallying his supporters.

in the capital, another man emerged to address voters where he traditionally delivers his rousing victory speeches. this is no victory for the turkish president, but certainly a win for now. he failed to secure the 50% plus one vote majority to clinch a third term. but emerged with a clear lead over the main opposition candidate. >> translator: currently the majority is in our people's alliance, so we do not doubt that the choice of our nation which gave the majority in the parliament our alliance will be in favor of trust and stability in the presidential election. >> reporter: and the wind is behind erdogan as turkey now heads for a runoff. but the opposition insisting that they still can do this. >> translator: i am here, i am here, you are here too. i will fight until the end, i swear. and i know that i will fight until the end.

i am here. >> reporter: the opposition thought this time would be different. they believed had they could unseat erdogan, that they could deliver change and the promise of a return to a real democracy, a promise so many in this country so desperately wanted. in two weeks time, erdogan and kemal kilicdaroglu will face off again. and this man could be the tiebreaker. >> translator: we have certain red lines such as fighting against terrorism and sending refugees back. we have voiced these conditions before. >> reporter: and his 5% of the electorate is a combination of disenchanted nationalists and protest votes of those who didn't like on the opposition candidate. no election in this country's history has meant more for this

divided nation where the two competing visions are locked in a dual and it will be the turkish people who will ultimately decide which leader and provision will prevail. jomana karedsheh, cnn, istanbul. israelis have celebrated 75 yearsof independence. but palestinians are calling it a cametastrophe when israel was founded. thousands marched in the west bank on monday demanding recognition of their right to return. and for the first time u.n. officially commemorated the day at its headquarterst anniversar killed more than 40 people. u.s. state department says it is aware of the sentencing of an american in china on espionage charges. the 78-year-old has been

sentenced to life in prison by a chinese court. joining me now, kristie lu stout in hong kong. what more do we need to know? >> reporter: we're still trying to collect reportable details about the sensitive case, but it is life in prison for this elderly 78-year-old u.s. citizen in china. it was yesterday when john lee own, also a permanent resident here in hong kong, was sentenced to life for espionage in a chinese court west of shanghai. cases involving state security are very sensitive, usually handled behind closed doors. and u.s. state department overnight says that it is aware of the case and also added this, take a listen -- >> when a u.s. citizen is detained overseas, the department works to provide all appropriate assistance including

rel rel rel relevant counselor access. >> reporter: of course tensions continue to simmer between china and the united states over trade, over taiwan, over tech, over other geopolitical issues. it also comes at a time when these two powers are trying to stabilize the relationship. last week as we reported here, we saw china's top diplomat and u.s. national security adviser have the two days of talks in vienna. and during those talks, jake sullivan brought up the issue about u.s. citizens detained in china and he added that this was a personal priority for president biden. there are at least three other americans known to be in prison in china. and i want to share it with you, they include a father pictured there to the righthand side of the screen. he has been detained since 2016 on spying charges that he denies. there is also on the left of your screen, a businessman convicted in 2019. he was arrested and been

detained since 2012. and we don't have the third's photograph, but there is a pastor detained in china, a u.s. citizen, since 2006. john leon just joining the growing list. back to you. >> okay. thank you. america's top spy agency has released a slick new video in hopes of recruiting disaffected russians. the cia says the war in ukraine has produced an opportunity to collect valuable information about russia. alex marquardt has the details. [ speaking non-english ] >> reporter: questions being asked in russia in a new video to try to recruit more russian spies by appealing to frustrations and oppression under the putin regime.

cnn has been told that the war in ukraine has created an unprecedented opportunity that they want to capitalize on to recruit new russian assets. >> disaffection with the war will continue to gnaw away at the russian leadership beneath the oppression. >> reporter: in the past year of the war, the cia has been encouraging russians with valuable information to contact them quietly, securely and anonymously through a portal on the dark web s. >> we're looking for russians who are as disgusted as we are. >> reporter: instructions are on the cia social media accounts and this new video after making the pitch to russian viewers details how to do it, using the dark web produbrowser. the video was first posted on

monday. >> i call it hanging out the shingle. they are spreading the word that u.s. counterintelligence is open for business and we have deep pockets. if you want to strike back against this man you hate, vladimir putin, you have an opportunity now do it safely. >> reporter: cia officials told cnn they hope the video will resonate beyond intelligence and security officials with people who may not realize that they have sensitive information to share, working for example in cyber, tech, finance and other fields. they may think kapgtcontacting cia is too difficult or dangerous. >> we need people all through the russian economy to cooperate with us. we need to know what is going on and this adversary country. >> reporter: there is no direct mention of putin or ukraine. nor cia officials insist is it meant to fuel unrest in russia, rather they tell cnn these are

timeless themes that they hope will drive russians in to the arms of the cia. [ speaking non-english ] in terms of what the cia has already seen in their effort to recruit new spies, they to say that they have been successful. one official told me in his words there is contact coming in. the cia won't give any numbers or say where these russians work, but the cia said that they wouldn't be rolling out the new video if they hadn't already had some success. we should also note that the fbi has tried recruiting russian spies right here in washington with ads specifically targeted at people coming and going from the russian embassy. an effort that the embassy called ridiculous. alex marquardt, cnn, washington. just ahead, it appears the 2024 republican presidential field is about to get bigger.

>> desantis has been seen as former president trump's biggest challenger. he would enter the race with as much money if not more than anyone in the field who isn't trump but concerns remain amongst desantis donors and supporters over his willingness to take on the former president. meanwhile governor desantis has signed a bill defunding diversity, equity and inclusion programs at all state universities in florida. the new law also bans social or political activism programs at private universities and demands courses not include curriculum that teaches identity politics. he placed conservative political allies on the school board earlier this year. and the florida governor's cultural crew side is having ripple effects. a fifth grade teacher says she is under investigation.

door and please hear me, they assist teachers in opening a door for conversations that have no place in our dallas rooms. >> reporter: barbie insists that she did follow the rules telling cnn that every child had so signed permission to see pg movies. >> nobody had a process in place where individual movies got approved. now that i had this situation, there is a whole process in place where you have to get every single movie approved. >> reporter: teachers who violate the bill can be suspended or have their teaching rights revoked. >> i don't want them to terminate me. sheriff deputies say this woman was trying to look pregnant so she could hide illegal drugs in a fake pregnancy belly. their first clue is when the couple disagreed over the due date during a traffic stop in south carolina. the woman took off running. police say cocaine started
